Chapter 557 Military Power

At the level of Rock, Stoudemire, and Henry, the cost of trial and error is their biggest advantage.

It’s good if an investment succeeds, and it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t. Land is something like private ownership in southern Africa. One-third of the farms in Orange, then Orange will change, and the dominance of the Boers in Orange will be shaken.

Just do it, Rock, Stoudemire, and Henry immediately decided to invest 50 pounds each to set up the Bechuanaland Agricultural Development Company and start large-scale acquisitions of farms in Orange.

As for why the name Bechuana is used instead of Rhodesia or Nyasaland, in addition to not arousing the vigilance of the Orange government, the Bechuana Agricultural Development Company will of course also develop the Bechuana Reserve. I will forget the 58 square kilometers in Botswana. In terms of area, Bechuanaland is much larger than Orange.

In fact, at present, it is more cost-effective to develop the Bechuanaland Reserve than to develop Orange. Rock still remembers that when he was in Cape Town, Luo bought a full 280 square meters in the Bechuanaland Reserve for 12 pounds. kilometer.

Now the land price of Bechuana protected land is not much higher than when Luoyi bought the land. As the governor of Bechuana State, Amelia built Luoke and Xiaosi in order to get the protection of Rock and Xiaosi. When he was in Germany, he gave Rhodes a whole batch of [-] square kilometers of land with a swipe of a pen, and the transfer price was only a symbolic one hundred pounds.

Bechuanaland Agricultural Development Corporation will also develop farms in Bechuanaland at the same time as it acquires Orange Farm.

Relatively speaking, the farms in Bechuanaland are actually better developed. As a highland country, Bechuanaland’s agriculture is greatly restricted. Pastures are the best choice for Bechuanaland. The size of the farm is really not important, because no one cares about farms in Bechuanaland, and the cheapest thing is land.

Rock's development of Bechuanaland's farm means a large-scale influx of Chinese, which will definitely change the status quo of Bechuanaland.

In the Transvaal and Nyasaland, people are now more accustomed to captive breeding, rather than the previous nomadic herding. Compared with nomadic herding, captive breeding is more conducive to the expansion of herd reproduction, and it also saves land and is more efficient. Under the same conditions , The efficiency of captive breeding is more than ten times that of nomads. The influx of Chinese will completely change the status quo of Bechuanaland. In time, Bechuanaland may become the next Transvaal.

The next day, under the witness of Rock, Stoudemire, and Henry, Nyasaland Governor Anton and Neville Chamberlain signed a series of cooperation agreements, entrusting the sales of Nyasaland products in the Commonwealth to Neville Chamberlain.

The promise made by Neville Chamberlain is that the annual sales will not be less than 1000 million pounds. If it is less than this figure, then Neville Chamberlain will automatically lose the agency right of Nyasaland products, and Nyasaland will resume Choose a proxy.

Of course, in order to give Neville Chamberlain enough motivation, Roque still gave Neville Chamberlain a lot of discounts in terms of price. The price is only [-] pounds, and Neville Chamberlain can make a profit of [-] pounds for every one sold. In a price war with Ada, it will be Nyasaland who will suffer in the end.

After the signing of the agreement, Anton held a grand celebration dinner for the Neville Chamberlain brothers in the Nyasaland State Government. Rock, Stoudemire, and Henry accompanied the whole process. Austin Chamberlain finally forgot the incident caused by Tanganyika. A little unhappy, but had a good chat with the flattering Anton.

Although Austin Chamberlain is now excluded from the cabinet and has not held any positions, Austin Chamberlain had previously served as the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications and the Minister of Finance, and he also has very rich political experience, which is precisely what Anton lacks the most.

Anton and Roque are not the same. Although their origins are similar, Roque's body is a soul from another time and space, and his vision is beyond the eyes of everyone in this era. However, Anton is limited by this era. Dong studied hard, and now he is the governor of Nyasala State, but he is still a little bit powerless.

Fortunately, Roque doesn't care. Although Anton is not a qualified governor, other people are even more unqualified. At least Anton is the person Roque trusts the most and will not betray Roque. This is enough to offset Anton's lack of ability .

No matter how Anton learned from Austin Chamberlain, Rock signed the contract and helped Neville Chamberlain solve the financial problem.

Neville Chamberlain is hoping to get a loan from the Rand Bank to pay Nyasaland.

In other words, Neville Chamberlain is also playing the white wolf with empty gloves.

The empty-glove white wolf Rock also admitted, anyway, Ada is playing like this, the problem is that Neville Chamberlain has no property mortgage in southern Africa, and he is unwilling to use the dividends of Farwalt Steel Plant as collateral, so this makes Rock Just a little angry.

"Hmph, what do you mean? Take a loan from the Rand Bank without collateral? You can ask the Imperial Bank to see if the Imperial Bank will lend it to you." Rock was also speechless, and he would have given it to Neville Chamberlain. At least [-]% should be added to the price given to Ada.

"Yes, Locke, if the Chamberlain family wants to take a loan from the Imperial Bank, they really don't need any collateral." Neville Chamberlain's eyes widened and he looked sincere.

Rock, however, saw a trace of complacency in Neville Chamberlain's eyes.

Neville Chamberlain did not lie on this issue. In the British political circles, the Chamberlain family is still very prestigious, so the Chamberlain family wants to borrow from the Imperial Bank. It is estimated that there is really no need for a mortgage.

However, the value of the reputation of the Chamberlain family is estimated to be very limited. Perhaps Neville Chamberlain did not need a mortgage to borrow 100 pounds from the Imperial Bank, but what about [-] and [-] million?

It is said that the Imperial Bank may not be able to get it out for a while.

And the amount that Neville Chamberlain hopes to borrow from Rand Bank is 100 million. To be honest, Rand Bank will not be able to get it out for a while.

"Neville, you can act as an agent for other products for the time being, and Yitnor should let it go first." Rock didn't expect Neville Chamberlain's appetite to be so big.

It has to be said that the Chamberlain family is also very stylish. Neville Chamberlain ordered four of the Lord's cars worth [-] pounds each, and they all asked for a family crest inlaid with gold and diamonds. Such a badge is worth [-] pounds. pound.

At the same time, Neville Chamberlain asked for the exclusive authorization of Eternal's exclusive stores. The transfer fee for the four exclusive stores of Eternal in London alone was as high as 40 pounds, and there are currently [-] such exclusive stores in the UK. Home, Neville Chamberlain loan is because of these stores.

"Why, not willing? Locke, don't forget that the contract we signed is for all the goods of Nyasaland, all!" Neville Chamberlain emphasized, regardless of the good relationship between Neville Chamberlain and Rock, when calculating economic accounts The appearance of eating is also very ugly.

"Sorry Neville, Yitno is not a company of Nyasaland, but Johannesburg." Rock still has principles, you take what is given to you, and you can't think about what is not given to you.

What's more, Eternal is the pocket money Rock prepared for Phyllis and Ida. Rock himself doesn't even ask about the business situation of Eternal, and Neville Chamberlain really thinks a bit too much.

"It's not yours?" Neville Chamberlain obviously didn't believe it.

"Where's the boss—" Rock signaled, and not far away, Phyllis and Avi Chamberlain, wife of Austin Chamberlain, were discussing how to take care of their children.

Austin Chamberlain and Ivy Chamberlain married last year, their child was born a few months ago, and now Ivy Chamberlain is pregnant again.

"Use your wife as a shield, Locke, you are really shameless." Neville Chamberlain still didn't believe it,

"Stop talking nonsense, if you don't want to be an agent, you still have a chance to repent." Rock didn't force it, Neville Chamberlain didn't want to do it, and some people wanted to do it.

Before Neville Chamberlain replied, Zach came over quietly and handed Rock a note. There was a Boer man named Nikola Van Rensburg who wanted to see Rock, and he was downstairs now.

This Nicola Van Rensburg is not an ordinary person. Among the Boers, Nikola Van Rensburg is a famous "prophet". During the Boer War, Nikola Van Rensburg once discovered Several positions of the British army helped the Boer coalition win the victory, so Nikola Van Rensburg has a high prestige among the Boers.

However, Rock was not interested in such a prophet. He was clearly a "prophet", and most of the so-called "illusions" were rumored, so Rock shook his head slightly, not wanting to see Nicola Van Rensburg at all.

Zach walked away quietly, which still aroused Neville Chamberlain's idea.

"A Boer prophet, I don't know why he wants to see me." Rock explained casually.

"Then I'll meet you and hear what he has to say." Neville Chamberlain was rather curious.

"Hehe, if I meet all kinds of people, I don't have to do anything else this day." Rock will not meet any cat or dog casually. After a while, Rock will set up the third division and the fourth division. There are many people in Rock, especially Boers.

During the Boer War, many famous Boer generals are actually out of work now, except for Herzog and De Witt who died unexpectedly, former Transvaal president Schalke Beagle, former Boer coalition deputy Commander Byers, as well as the well-known generals in the Boer coalition, De La Lai and Kemp, all wanted to meet Roque, but Roque ignored them all and refused.

You don't need to think about what these people want to do. Rock will definitely not let the Boers take control of the military.

 Pushing this book, the grenade is afraid of water "Fu Han", needless to say the quality, the rare textual research party at the starting point, the free play is very reasonable——
