Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 461 Bidding

The price of [-] pounds made Rock feel distressed, but the price of [-] pounds felt much better.

Although the price is still a bit expensive, it is still very suitable for gifting Ade.

Rock also picked one for himself, which is also located on the King's Road in Chelsea, not far from the house to be given to Ade. Rock plans to be a neighbor with Ade in London for a period of time.

Compared with the house to be given to Ade, Rock's house is much smaller. It is also a three-story structure with only eighteen rooms. It is suitable for Rock's family of three to live in.

It sounds a bit extravagant, right? In fact, it's not too much. Felice's clothes and shoes can fill several rooms. The luxury of nobles is not a joke.

Phyllis is also very satisfied with the new house, and it seems that she really wants to experience the life of ordinary people.

"Then drive Dunn and the others away, leaving only Zach and Bella." Roque still has reservations, and it is necessary to keep Zack. It is impossible to welcome and send a carriage or something. Let Rock do it himself.

It is of course important to keep Bella. If there is no one to help, Gavin alone can kill Phyllis. Phyllis's cooking skills are also very touching. There is a high probability that she does not know that sugar is also a condiment. Already outstanding, she has learned the true biography of Anna.

"Don't think that you've just passed the level, and I'll settle the score with you when you get back—" Phyllis put her mouth next to Rock's ear, seemingly affectionately.

Rock suddenly turned his head unceremoniously, and then Phyllis blushed.

We are old couples, why should we be ashamed——

Fortunately, it was on the carriage going back, otherwise Phyllis would be angry, and she still had to pay attention to the influence in public.

Phyllis didn't want to see Ida, so Rock picked a good house, and Phyllis immediately pulled Roque away, and didn't give Rock and Ida a chance to make eye contact. Rock couldn't do it even if he wanted to care about Arthur. arrive.

Sure enough, the words "bring it back, I will raise it" are all routines.

After getting used to living in the manor and returning to the small house, Phyllis felt very refreshed, and soon forgot about Ada's troubles.

After entering the door, Phyllis led Bella to check room by room. The condition of the house is not bad. After all, it is a wealthy area, and it is ready for sale at any time. The decoration and furniture are all complete.

However, Phyllis still has a lot of dissatisfaction. The color of the curtains, the wallpaper in the children's room, the style of the furniture, and even the decorative paintings on the walls have to be changed.

This is not something that Bella can handle, so Zach was also called to take the record, and sent someone to find Christian. Christian is better at this kind of thing.

Rock and Winston didn't care about anything. They sat in the study and smoked cigars. Phyllis didn't go into the study because she couldn't stand the smell of smoke.

Rock and Winston did it on purpose. They smoked Phyllis away, and the two laughed secretly. Then Rock picked up the phone and dialed Rand Bank.

Sure enough, if a man is reliable, a sow will climb a tree. Phyllis watched so closely just now, and it didn't delay Rock getting Ada's call.

"Hello——" Ada's voice on the phone was a bit distorted, but still sexy. Rock could see Ada's lazy look through the phone line.

"Dear Mrs. Capet, if something like this happens again next time, can you notify me in advance?" Rock was furious, this woman can't be trained, otherwise she won't know what kind of demon she will be next.

"Dear Lord Nyasaland, please don't call single women casually. Although I am not Mrs. Nyasaland, I feel that I have an obligation to remind you." Ada really deserves a beating, Roque felt Itchy hands: "As you ordered, I will now officially inform you that I will attend the welcome dinner prepared by Winston for you tonight. Want to see what clothes I'm wearing?"

Rock immediately glared at Winston. This guy is not too serious to watch the excitement. Why did he invite Ada? Did he want to see Ada fight Phyllis?

Winston didn't care, he was so happy to see the back molars.

"Where's Arthur?" Rock could only divert his attention.

"Yo, finally remembered to care about our orphans and widowed mothers?" Ada was still provoking desperately.

Rock didn't speak, and then Ada finally restrained himself: "Of course Arthur is with me. I plan to take Arthur around the world before he becomes an adult."

This ideal is really good, and Rock actually wants to go, but unfortunately he doesn't have so much time.

In fact, Ada probably doesn’t have time to travel around the world, but she travels while working. In any country where the Rand Bank’s business develops, Ada can take it for granted to check the work. In fact, it doesn’t waste much. time.

"Okay, goodbye!" Rock actually wanted to hear what Arthur had to say, so after thinking about it, he hung up the phone decisively.

"I didn't expect Rand Bank to be yours." Winston couldn't believe it.

When Winston first met Roque, Roque was only the captain of the commando of the Cape Town Police Department. Winston attended the banquet held by Ade at that time, and Roque was not even qualified to participate in the banquet, but was only responsible for the security of the banquet. .

In just five years, Rock had become Baron Nyasaland and a millionaire, which made Winston lament the wonder of life.

"Come on, compared to your 26-year-old congressman, my achievements are nothing to mention." Rock was not proud, and Winston was lamenting that Rock climbed fast, but in fact Winston himself could not climb faster slow.

26 It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to become a member of Congress.

Winston is different. He is the grandson of the Duke. It is normal to climb faster than others. It may be the pinnacle of life for an ordinary person to become a member of Congress. Winston is the pinnacle when he started.

As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome.

Winston was so happy that he stopped the business exchanging with Rock, and let Rock rest at home for a while to prepare for the evening dinner.

At six o'clock in the evening, Rock packed up, and together with Phyllis boarded the carriage sent by Winston to the Duke of Marlborough's estate outside London.

Don't look at the Duke of Marlborough's name as a bluff. In fact, the area of ​​the manor is not as large as Rock's manor in Sandhurst. However, the manor has a long history. It has a history of more than 400 years. It existed when the first Duke of Marlborough was created.

The Duke of Marlborough was conferred twice in history, the first in 1626 and the second in 1689. The Churchill family was conferred the Duke of Marlborough in 1689.

A big family that has been passed down for hundreds of years has unfathomable background. It is not comparable to an "upstart" like Rock. The sent carriage also uses handmade glass lanterns. Rock just glanced at it and turned a blind eye. But Phyllis couldn't take her eyes off it.

It is said that Phyllis's family also has such hundreds of years old objects, but the number is not large, and they are all kept as family treasures, far from being seen everywhere like the Marlborough family.

Luo Keque didn't like it, he didn't even need a flashlight, what if it rained?

In fact, this person is really not afraid of rain. The carriage used on rainy days is different from the carriage used on sunny days. The only thing in common is that it is very bumpy to ride on.

Horse carriages hundreds of years ago had a fart shock-absorbing design, and Rock didn't know what was the point of preserving such a family tradition.

When Rock arrived at the manor, the banquet had not officially started, and the guests invited by Winston were gradually arriving.

At this time, you can see Winston's popularity. This guy's popularity is really not good. In fact, neither the Conservative Party nor the opposition party like Winston in Congress, so Winston invited few guests. , most of them are people who have worked in Africa.

Although Roque was the guest of honor at the banquet, in fact, Roque, the Baron of Nyasaland, is really inconspicuous in the UK. I believe that most British people don't even know where Nyasaland is. The first impression is probably the Zulu War decades ago and the Boer War that just ended.

So Rock is also responsible for popularizing science for the guests.

"Southern Africa is actually quite rich. The gold mines in Johannesburg are world-famous, and there are other mineral deposits such as steel and copper in the Transvaal. As long as we increase the development of southern Africa, we can provide the British Empire with more resources. ——" Rock knew the British government's position on southern Africa, so he never mentioned industrial development, and gold was what the nobles cared about most.

The attitudes of the guests were different. Many of them had working experience in southern Africa. Some of them had participated in the Boer War not long ago, so they knew more about southern Africa. Of course, some people were very interested in southern Africa. People's impression of southern Africa is still the backcountry, the Africans who can't be trained, and the Boers who are vicious.

"Lord Nyasaland, I heard that you also have a gold mine in Johannesburg?" Among the many voices, a shrill voice was particularly loud.

It was a young man about eighteen or nineteen years old who was speaking, and Rock suddenly felt bad. Young people of this age are the most troublesome. They don't care about things, are impulsive and reckless, and have a lot of desires, which cannot be realized due to their own ability limitations. , for young people of this age, Rock generally keeps a respectful distance.

Being able to appear at Winston's banquet, the young man probably has something to do with Winston, and it can be seen from the reactions of others. Rock noticed that someone called the young man "what is your lord" just now, that is a certain He is a descendant of a nobleman, but it is not known whether he is the Duke of Marlborough.

"Yes, it's just a small gold mine. The output isn't too high. There are still a lot of gold mines in Johannesburg." Rock was modest.

"Sell me your gold mine, and ask for a price!" The young man is indeed very confident, but he doesn't know if the young man can afford it if Rock really makes an offer.

The value of the Rock Gold Mine--

It's hard to say, the sum of all the gold in the world now is almost equal to the reserves of the Locke Gold Mine.

"William, don't mess around!" Winston finally said, no matter how much the Locke gold mine was worth, it was already too much to make such a request.
