138 Attentive

If Rock knew what Hoover was thinking, then Rock would answer seriously: It is really necessary!

The so-called "equal emphasis on kindness and power", lack of that aspect, will leave hidden dangers. People like Hoover were used to being foreign uncles in the Qing Dynasty, and lacked enough respect for the Chinese. If Hoover was not impressed, Hoover would not be able to do it.

Will obey Roark's orders.

It's best to do this now. Hoover has already seen Roark's ruthlessness. Even if Roark shows a little kindness now, Hoover will be most grateful.

Some people are just bitches!

What's more, what Rock wants is not just a miner. Rock's requirements are different from those of De Beers Unified Mining Company. Rock also wants Hoover to train the miners to a certain extent, so Rock will open De Beers Unified Mining Company.

Mining companies double the price.

Someone sent Hoover back to the room, and Rock asked the waiter to bring Phyllis lunch to the room.

As soon as the waiter left, Martin came over in a sly voice: "Boss, the people from De Beers Unified Mining Company are here."

De Beers Unified Mining Company!

Rock turned around and saw two managers in suits and ties standing at the door of the restaurant, one of whom was Mike.

Rock smiled and nodded, and Martin immediately invited someone over.

"Hello, Inspector Locke, I am Aiden Owen, the general manager of the Johannesburg branch of De Beers Consolidated Mining Company." Aiden extended his hand.

"Hello Aiden, I'm Rock." Rock shook hands with Aiden and Mike respectively. Don't show off to the Pretoria Police Department at this time. It's not necessary. Aiden can come to the door in such a short time.

Maybe he has found out the details about Roark.

In the Cape, De Beers Consolidated Mining Company does have this energy.

Otherwise, Aiden would not be so polite to Rock. After all, there are many inspectors in the Cape, but Rock is the only one in the Cape who can kill Joubert.

"I'm sorry, Inspector, our client has caused you trouble." Aiden did not sit down and looked at the surrounding environment. Aiden was a little hesitant: "Can you change a place? It's too hot here."

Is it hot?

Rock didn't think so at all, but it would be better to change places. Mike was still carrying a box in his hand.

Then change to another place. The Jinshan Hotel is fully equipped and there is a small bar next to the restaurant. It is not yet business hours and the bartender is not at work, so it is very clean.

"I'm sorry about what happened in the morning. Mr. Rhodes asked me to apologize to you on his behalf, and invite you to visit De Beers Unified Mining Company at an appropriate time. If we can have more contact, then what happened in the morning

It won't happen at all." Aiden also used hard and soft tactics.

The "Mr. Rhodes" Eden refers to is not former Prime Minister Cecil Rhodes, but his son Cecil Rhodes Jr., now general manager of De Beers Consolidated Mining Company.

After escaping from Kimberley, Cecil Rhodes has been in poor health. Last month, Cecil Rhodes was questioned by Congress in London. Congress is investigating Cecil Rhodes and

Is there any direct relationship with the outbreak of the Second Boer War?

If Congress can prove that Cecil Rhodes was directly responsible for the outbreak of the Second Boer War, then Cecil Rhodes may be in trouble. The British government went to war for the Second Boer War, and now it has

440,000 regular troops were mobilized, with a total cost of more than 100 million pounds. Although the expeditionary force had occupied the Transvaal and Orange, the Boers did not surrender. The end of the war was far away, and someone must be responsible for all this.

That's why Aiden took the initiative to visit Rock.

At this critical moment, Cecil Rhodes did not want a fire in the backyard. Rock may not be able to give De Beers Unified Mining Company a fatal blow, but if Rock wants to cause trouble for De Beers Unified Mining Company, it is not

It's completely impossible. After all, Roque is already considered a senior official in the Pretoria Police Department, and De Beers Unified Mining Company needs the cooperation of the Pretoria Police Department to maintain security in the mine.

What's more, in order to investigate whether Cecil Rhodes has made any mistakes, the British Parliament is likely to send an investigation team to the Cape. If Roark adds insult to injury at that time, it may actually be fatal to Cecil Rhodes.

one strike.

When Aiden was talking, Rock was pouring wine. When Aiden finished speaking, Rock didn't respond in a hurry and just looked at Aiden with a smile.

Aiden didn't say anything either.

Silence lasts for ten seconds

Aiden sighed and nodded to Mike.

Mike placed the suitcase in his hand on the bar in front of Rock and opened it gently.

There were two golden rhinos in the suitcase. "Wow!" Rock expressed appropriate surprise, but not too surprised.

The density of gold is quite high. If these two rhinos were solid, they would weigh about ten kilograms.

Ten kilograms sounds like a lot, but when converted into pounds, it's just over one thousand three hundred.

You want to bribe Roark for more than a thousand pounds?

You look down on people, right?

What was De Beers Consolidated Mining's profit last year?

Over £10 million!

Seeing that Rock's eyes were still cold, Aiden gritted his teeth and took out a check from his arms: "These two small toys are gifts from Mr. Rhodes to Inspector Locke. These are gifts from Mr. Rhodes to Fei

Miss Phyllis apologizes and hopes that Miss Phyllis can forgive Mr. Hoover for his rude behavior."

Rock glanced casually, 5,000 pounds!

This sincerity is quite good. Rock smiled and raised his glass: "Mr. Hoover is in his room."

Aiden and Mike finally breathed a sigh of relief. If 5,000 pounds can't satisfy Rock, then Aiden and Mike don't know what to do.

In fact, it is easy to handle, but directly killing a senior inspector is equivalent to directly declaring war on the government. What's more, whether he can be killed is another matter. Roque is the person who can kill Joubert.

"In a while, we will also open a branch to Pretoria. Then we will have to move more." Aiden finally let go of the big stone in his heart. This is the story of De Beers Unified Mining Company's rampage in Cape Town.

The reason is that if the relationship is not in place, it must be because there is not enough sincerity.

"Well, in a while, a police station will be established in Johannesburg. There will be many opportunities for us to interact." Rock also reciprocated the favor. If you have money, everyone will make it. There is no need to explode like a hedgehog.

Several people had a glass of wine together, Aiden and Mike went to find Hoover, and Rock went to find Phyllis with the gold rhino and the check.

Since Aiden clearly stated that the check was for Phyllis, Roark would not keep it for himself. If it were not for the reason of Phyllis' aristocratic background, Aiden would not hesitate to spend the money.

Don’t forget the well digger when you are drinking water!

Phyllis was eating lunch and almost bit her tongue when she saw the golden rhinoceros in Rock's hand.

"Where did it come from?" Like Henry, Phyllis is also a money addict, especially gold, and has no resistance at all. Rock suspected that if Aiden had just given the rhinoceros to Phyllis, then Phyllis might have

Forgive Hoover directly.

Then there will be nothing to do with the subsequent check.

"De Beers Consolidated Mining Company gave it to me, and this is for you." Rock handed the check to Phyllis.

Phyllis didn't even look at the check: "Let's exchange."

So generous?
