Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 795

It is not possible to reduce the price of oil overnight. There are so many oil companies, some have lofty ideals and ambitions to create a big business, and some are short-sighted and just want to make a fortune. The future of the Persian Gulf has nothing to do with them. Regardless of any relationship, even Stoudemire and Henry are unwilling to lower the price of oil, which will cause a huge loss of their due interests.

"Locke, if Anglo American or Royal Shell cause more trouble for the umbrella, then you don't have to worry, I can help you solve this trouble." Stoudemire is a traditional colonial thinking, whoever has a bigger fist is more reasonable , this is standard British thinking.

"Cecil, this is no longer the era of military conquest decades ago." Henry doesn't like the red fruit colonialism of Stoudemire. This is not the era of Cecil Rhodes. Some things are not Then simply use violence to solve it.

"Hehe, it's as if you don't have slaves in Fawalt." Stoudemire was blunt. The Fawalt Steel Plant indeed employs a lot of African-American employees, otherwise the steel in southern Africa would not be so cheap.

African-American employees in the Fawalt Steel Plant now account for more than half. Before Henry could not accept Rock's differential treatment, Henry would also lose in the face of profits. The data released by the Southern African Federal Government is incorrect. Ordinary whites Workers, or Chinese workers, have an average annual salary gap of about [-] times that of African workers.

Some things really make people very helpless. Although Stoudemire also wants to treat the hired workers well, he can't wait to raise the salary of white or Chinese workers to more than [-] rand, but the reality does not allow it. It is a sweatshop. If southern Africa improves worker treatment like Ford, how can it compete with traditional European companies.

Generally speaking, the European welfare system was gradually formed after the end of the Second World War, and the power of the trade unions played a major role in this.

It’s not that trade unions are bad. During a special period of time, trade unions did play a very important role. However, trade unions in European and American countries have gradually evolved and formed forces that are completely opposed to capital, which has had a huge impact on the real economy.

Especially when the Labor Party came to power in European and American countries, the power of trade unions was magnified to the extreme, and votes became an important factor in determining the government's ruling policy. The entire society was kidnapped by egalitarianism. The damage was serious, and General Motors was killed by the union.

(You can’t go into too much detail about this matter. If you talk about it in too much detail, you will get into trouble. Brothers who want to know about trade unions in Europe and the United States can go to "American Factory", which records in more detail.)

Labor-capital relations at the beginning of the [-]th century were actually relatively harmonious. Workers shifted from two shifts of [-] hours a day to an eight-hour work system, with paid holidays every year. Many workers, father and son, worked in the same factory. Then slowly there was a change.

The key point is labor disputes. Workers believe that they should be paid more for dedicating their youth to the factory and then dedicating their children and grandchildren.

The management believes that they invested in the factory, and they should get as much as they pay, so they should take most of the profits, which is precisely what the workers cannot accept.

"Stop talking nonsense, your food processing factory is not so pure." Henry retorted, no one is much better than the other, even Rock, who is most opposed to hiring Africans, has now begun to use a large number of African-American workers. The Rhodesian Canning Company is a normal operation in line with the trend of the times.

"Gentlemen, what we want to discuss is the price of oil, not some damn steel factory or food factory." Rock was really helpless. In order to make Adan Company develop better, Rock brought Stoudemire and Henry in As a shareholder, this situation is inevitable now. After all, Stoudemire and Henry don't understand how the conflict between management and workers will rise in the future.

Compared with Europe and the United States, the situation in southern Africa is quite special. Ford pays employees a salary of five dollars a day, while whites or Chinese in southern Africa only have a little more than two dollars a day. This is related to the overall economy of this country. The purchasing power of two dollars in southern Africa is no less than that of five dollars in the United States.

At least it's no problem to feed a family.

Rock's biggest advantage is that he can actively adapt to the objective environment. When the Transvaal was about to introduce immigrants, Rock made full use of the "side-kick" to achieve the economic miracle in southern Africa.

After the self-government of southern Africa, Rock is also trembling on thin ice. He must keep pace with London, not become an anomaly of the times, but also protect the interests of workers, and stimulate their enthusiasm for work to the greatest extent. play a big role.

The economic system of the UK has both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, the interests of the employers are guaranteed to the greatest extent, so that the employers have the motivation to continue to invest in expanding reproduction. Otherwise, capital will flow out and become a thorough investor just like the Netherlands. There has been no progress in the real economy.

The bad side is the limitations of the times. The Belgians in the Congo Free State cut off their hands at every turn, and the capitalists in southern Africa are not much better. Think about the refugee camps during the Boer War. Even the interests of white people cannot be realized. ensure.

"The oil price is up to you. I have no opinion. Anyway, even if I have an opinion, you will not adopt it." Stoudemire is more straightforward. His shares are also the ones that only receive dividends and have no decision-making power. How much is crude oil or gasoline sold for? Stoudemire doesn't care, what Stoudemire cares about is his food processing factory.

At the beginning of the [-]th century, the status of food is still very important.

After staying in southern Africa for a long time, it is easy to give people the illusion that it is very easy to survive in this world. Even if the farm fails to harvest, people in southern Africa, which is rich in products, will not starve to death.

But outside of southern Africa, and especially in Asia, the situation remains dire.

Just at the beginning of this year, a large-scale national uprising broke out in the Qing Dynasty, which violently overthrew the rule of the Qing government and wanted to establish a new government representing the interests of the bourgeoisie.

Although the revolution was not yet successful, the prosperity of the people and the suffering of the common people, the rule of the Qing government had not yet been overthrown, and the landlord class had not risen to power. The biggest losses were the small number of self-cultivating peasants and the landlord class who had already struggled to survive.

(This question also cannot be expanded, brothers forgive me.)

"Don't say that, I need more suggestions and references now." Rock didn't just talk about it, otherwise Rock wouldn't recruit Stoudemire and Henry into the group.

"My suggestion is not to lower the price, but to increase the price significantly. Can you accept it?" Stoudemire obviously didn't believe Roque's words. The oil price is so magical. A lower price will hit other oil companies, and the same goes for a price increase.

"Lock, let's not talk about price reduction or price increase. Adan Company has only been established for a few years. Don't you want to become the public enemy of the industry?" Henry also does not agree with price reduction, because doing business is more expensive.

Rock gave up communicating with Stoudemire and Henry. The gap in thinking was too great, and it was indeed impossible to communicate.

Looking back, Rock still sent a telegram to Winston, telling Winston Rock's decision.

The result was surprising. Winston didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and he very much supported Rock's reduction of oil prices. Regardless of what happened between Umbrella, Royal Shell, and Standard Oil, the profits of the British government could be guaranteed.

In recent and months Congress has been debating whether to store oil in strategic warehouses in southern Africa.

"Most of the members voted for it, and a few members disagreed, but they will soon lose their qualifications as members—" Winston was also ruthless in the telegram, and those who obey me will prosper and those who oppose me will perish.

No matter what Winston does, Nikola Tesla's laboratory has completed the miniaturization of wireless telegraphy, which can be installed on a four-engine bomber.

In the future, if the technology of wireless telegraphy is further enhanced, it may be installed on the "Strong Wind", which will greatly improve the combat capability of the Nyasaland Air Force.

"We have now completed the miniaturization of wireless telegraphy, but the output is limited and the cost is high, and Mr. Hoover wants to put the factory in the United States." Although Douglas went to the Ministry of Education, he still cared about Nyasaland University.

The cooperation with the Tesla laboratory is in charge of Nyasaland University. Hoover, who is trying to develop into politics, is Rock’s agent in the United States. Putting the factory in the United States can enhance Hoover’s reputation in the United States, but for Southern Africa is at a disadvantage.

The importance of radio has not yet been truly demonstrated. With the continuous advancement of technology in the future, the US government will restrict the export of radio technology sooner or later, and the interests of southern Africa will be affected.

"It's not that we can only build one, let him do whatever he wants." For the sake of future cooperation, Rock is still willing to share the profits with Hoover.

As for the confession in Rock's safe, Rock hoped that he would never use it.

"Do you want to give him the authorization that Hoover wants?" Douglas was dissatisfied with Hoover, and Hoover was indeed a bit too much. He hoped that Rock would open up the radio miniaturization technology, which would further promote the development of radio.

Of course, it would also bring Hoover huge social prestige.

"No, we have already paid enough for the Tesla laboratory. The factory can stay in the United States, but the technology must be brought back." Rock disagrees. The radio in the United States is indeed very developed. Radios were installed, but in terms of miniaturization, southern Africa was clearly more advanced.

Now the radio can be installed on the bomber, and when the radio can be installed on the strong wind, the aircraft in southern Africa can really widen the gap with the European aircraft. The accumulation of technology is completed step by step in this way.
