Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 960 Time is short

Most of the residents in the King's District are the first group of mercenaries from the Umbrella Company who came to Port Elizabeth, and many of them have now moved their families to Port Elizabeth.

As the earliest residential area in Port Elizabeth, compared with the urban areas designed by famous designers, the streets of the King's District are not wide, the green belts beside the roads are not neat, and the streets are not even straight.

The street is understandable, because the King's District is the closest city to the sea, and the streets are naturally formed along the coastline, so the winding is also understandable.

Compared with Queens, where there are few pedestrians on the streets, the atmosphere of life in Kings District is obviously stronger. Pedestrians are rarely seen on the streets of Queens District, and Kings District is very lively. There are conscientious patrolmen, old people who take a leisurely walk, and leaders A child whizzing past the street with hounds on the rampage, a mercenary in uniform who still smells like gunpowder, a little woman running to meet her husband cheering with open arms, a raccoon cat sleeping in a puddle of water on the window sill, and leaves blooming in full bloom. In the dripping morning glory--

Saxian and Yilmaz sat in the car for half an hour, smoking two cigars, which made the whole car full of smoke, and then opened the door.

"If you want to integrate into Port Elizabeth, you must integrate into the lives of southern Africans. Look at how lively it is here, and look at Queens, where no one dares to go to the streets. I don't want to live in a dark corner like a cockroach." Sa Xian He clearly knows what kind of life he wants. He has been well-clothed since he was born, and now it's time to take responsibility.

"You're right——" Yilmaz has seen a lot of rich and powerful children who fled the Ottoman Empire during this period, and there are not many people as smart as Saxian.

Although the environment in the King’s District is not as good as that in the Queen’s District, the house price is obviously more expensive than that in the Queen’s District. The asking price for a two-story wooden building covering an area of ​​about 250 square meters is as high as [-] pounds, which is not much lower than that in London. .

However, after learning that the neighbors were executives from the Umbrella Company and prospectors from the Adan Company, Sa Xian paid decisively without any hesitation.

The house that Sa bought now, the former owner was also a mercenary of the Umbrella Company. After the outbreak of the World War, many mercenaries of the Umbrella Company became active duty. The former owner just died in France last month. Less than now.

It can be clearly seen that no one has lived in the house for a long time, the rooms are messy, and the furniture is dusty. It is definitely not necessary for Sa Xian to do the cleaning himself. After all, he is the heir of the Marquis. There are a bunch of servants, and he has to buy another house to accommodate these servants. While the servants were cleaning the room, Saxian and Yilmaz returned to the car.

"Mr. Yilmaz, how much money do you earn every month now?" Sa Xian's question was a bit abrupt, and it is impolite to ask others about their income.

"Twenty pounds, or thirty." Yilmaz replied honestly. In fact, his income was more than that. In order to thank Yilmaz, Sa Xian just tipped Yilmaz a hundred pounds.

Twenty pounds is a lot. In southern Africa before the outbreak of the World War, a monthly income of twenty pounds was an absolute high-income group, which could allow a family to live comfortably in a big city like Pretoria or Johannesburg. With prices soaring after the outbreak, twenty pounds is really not much. Now in Port Elizabeth, the monthly rent for a single room in a suburban house is about ten pounds.

"I need a personal assistant. If you want, I can give you fifty pounds a month." Sa Xian was indeed generous and doubled it to Yilmaz.

The income from tips cannot be counted in the normal income. Yilmaz has been an intermediary for more than half a year, and this is the only client as generous as Sa Xian. The money of the rich is not blown by the wind. Don't believe those nonsense about getting rich overnight, the rich also accumulate money slowly, and the children of rich families who spend a lot of money are called prodigal sons. What if the children of poor families spend a lot of money.

"Mr. Saxian, I want to think about it." Yilmaz is struggling very hard. Saxian's personal assistant is obviously more promising than the real estate agency job, but being with Saxian is obviously more risky than the current job. big.

"Of course, my father has always warned me to be cautious when making any decisions. How much does the best car cost in Port Elizabeth?" The standard remains high.

"My lord's car is about [-] pounds. If special decorations are required, the price may be doubled." Yilmaz knows Port Elizabeth very well, which is why Sa Xian took a fancy to Yilmaz.

"Then help me buy a Lord's car, [-] pounds is enough." Sa was restrained, and he was not stingy with spending what should be spent, and did not spend a penny that should not be spent.

Cycling back to his single room in the suburbs at night, Yilmaz tossed and turned unable to fall asleep.

The car belongs to the company, and Yilmaz couldn’t afford it. Thinking of the way Sa bought a car during the day, Yilmaz was sad. They both fled Istanbul, they were both young people, and they also received higher education. Yilmaz It was at stake, and Sa found that even if he fled to Port Elizabeth, he would still be well-clothed and well-fed.

Life is so unfair. Yilmaz knew a long time ago that when Saxian fled, his Marquis father would give Saxian enough living expenses. Yilmaz wants to change his life, the best is right in front of him. Opportunity.

Yilmaz decided to go to Saxian tomorrow.

Coming to Saxian's house again, Yilmaz rode his bicycle. Now that he has decided to resign, Yilmaz will not hesitate.

There are guests in Saxian's family, who are also rich and powerful children from the Ottoman Empire. Like Saxian, they all live in the King's District, and only businessmen will buy houses in the Queen's District.

When he saw Yilmaz, Saxian knew that Yilmaz had made a decision, so he asked Yilmaz to sit down immediately.

Yilmaz knew he had chosen the right one, the old African butler was still standing by.

Africans were not uncommon in the Ottoman Empire, and many of the servants in the Sultan's palace were Africans who had undergone surgery. In this regard, the traditions of the East and the West are the same.

"Yilmaz, these two are Demir and Serik, we want to do some immigration business together, what do you think?" Sa Xian immediately asked the question, Demir means iron, Serik The meaning is steel, these two are probably not two brothers.

"The largest immigration company in Port Elizabeth is run by Mr. Christian. Mr. Christian is also the largest builder in southern Africa and owns several construction companies—" Yilmaz doesn't know much about Christian, and Christian's business is all over the world. In the world, no one knows how big Christian's business is.

"I know, we just want to cooperate with Mr. Christian, can you contact Mr. Christian?" Sa has ambitions, and he will cooperate with Christian when he comes up.

"Sorry, I can't get in touch with Mr. Christian, but I know an executive from Christian Human Resources Company, he may be able to help us." Yilmaz has a wide range of people, and the business card at home is probably a foot thick.

"It's okay to go to him, but we need to be sure first, and then we'd better have a precise plan. Mr. Christian has a bad temper." Yilmaz is more cautious, he can't do it like Saxian.

"Although our business scale is not as good as that of Mr. Christian, we have our own advantages. Yilmaz, as you know, the Mediterranean Expeditionary Army led by Lord Nyasaland and the Southern Inland Alliance Army led by Marshal Martin are launching an attack on the Asia Minor peninsula. , The Ottoman Empire is running out of time, so even if we have to lose money, we have to cooperate with Mr. Christian." Sa now does not want to do business with Christian, but to send money to Christian.

An obvious fact is that the time of the Ottoman Empire is numbered. At this time, the dignitaries in Constantinople must also consider their own family interests. After the Ottoman Empire surrendered, the Allied Powers wanted to rule the Ottoman Empire. It is inevitable to use Ottoman The power of the imperial dignitaries, sending money now is for future investment.

As for the Ottoman Empire, who cares.

Yilmaz didn't speak, and it took him time to digest the fact.

Unlike the Yilmaz family, who are rich and happy, Saxian, Demir, and Serik are all from the powerful class of the Ottoman Empire. It can be said that they are all vested interests of the Ottoman Empire. When the Ottoman Empire existed, they These powerful families enjoy the glory and benefits brought by the empire, and are superior to others.

Now that the building is about to collapse, not only did these powerful families not fight to the end for the Ottoman Empire, but they were thinking about how to continue to protect the interests of the family after the war. This made Yilmaz feel ridiculous. The Ottoman soldiers who stood firm in the heavy snow and shed tears and blood while charging, Yilmaz suddenly felt that the world was terrible.

Probably these dying and decaying countries are all like this.

"Don't be so pessimistic. As far as I know, female slaves are very popular in Port Elizabeth, so they may not lose money." Demir's words refreshed Yilmaz's bottom line.

"The southern Africans I know prefer land, and there are many southern Africans in Baghdad and Basra now." Serik said with a lot of tongue-twisting, and he is probably of Slavic descent.

"Then give them what they want. No matter who they are, we are still the Ottomans who live in this land, and we are still the masters of this land." Sa Xian still doesn't know enough about southern Africans, what they want is not That's all.

Yilmaz feels uncomfortable, but doesn't know how to change.

(The update at noon will be sent as usual. I will go to the hospital to see a patient in a while, so try to come back as soon as possible.)
