Many people may have forgotten that Stoudemire and Rock were the founders of the Liberal Party, while Irving joined the Liberal Party later, and the number on his party membership card was even behind Henry.
Stoudemire has now quit the Liberal Party and returned to the Progressive Party. Rock is now out of the question. The Liberal Party has become the party of Irving. It is a real-life version of poisonous people occupying the magpie's nest.
Roque and Stoudemire founded the Liberal Party in order to compete with the People's Party founded by Yang Smuts and Louis Botha. Now the People's Party has gradually declined and has almost no sense of existence outside Orange. The Liberal Party is the only one.
Instead, he ended up living the way he hates the most, which can't help but make people sigh.
"Even if we fail this time, we can't blame anyone. The Cape people have given us three opportunities, but we failed to grasp them. Boschov, you just said that I was a traitor to the Liberal Party, so let me ask you
, what have you done for the Liberals in Cape State in the past few years when you have been the chairman of the Cape Liberal Party? Have you deviated from the original intention of the Marquis and Mr. Rhodes when they established the Liberal Party? Are you worthy of those who voted for you?
Voters?" Chen Yan also has a tough attitude. As the number of Chinese in southern Africa increases, Chinese legislators are becoming more and more confident.
"Don't change the subject, what we are discussing is the second vote." Ferdinand Boschov's face turned red. Chen Yan was right. In the past ten years, the ruling party in Cape State has always been
The Liberal Party, the federal government and Cape people gave the Liberal Party a chance, but the Liberal Party's performance was disappointing.
"Stop! Stop having these meaningless quarrels. We must work together now." Owen looked ugly. He never expected that the problems of the Cape State Liberal Party were so serious.
Owen didn’t come to the Cape on a whim.
Since Philip succeeded Ade as prime minister, things have been smooth sailing for the most part. The few setbacks have almost always been related to Cape State.
So Owen's bid for Cape Governor was actually under Philip's instruction.
"How can we work together now? If even we Liberals don't vote for the candidates of the Liberal Party, what are we going to do for others?" Ferdinand Boschoff grasped this point, and Chen Yan's words hit home.
His pain made him feel ashamed, and he couldn't do anything to Chen Yan, so it was a good use of the topic.
Twenty years ago, white people were not so good-tempered. In the Cape now, although the advantage of the Chinese is not as great as Nyasaland, it is still a force that cannot be ignored. The key is that they are still very united. Ferdinand Bosho
If my husband goes too far, he will not even be able to keep his qualifications as a member of the parliament.
Chen Yan said nothing, waiting to see what Owen said.
What else can Irving say? In fact, he does not have the courage of Stoudemire and cannot carry out drastic reforms to the Liberal Party. Of course, Irving is aware of the problems of the Liberal Party, but he has no solution.
The dinner ended in vain, leaving only chicken feathers on the floor. The next day, several Chinese congressmen held a small gathering at Chen Yan's winery in Oak Town.
Today's Oak Town is no longer the city of cowards it was. According to the current standards in 1922, Oak Town is actually qualified to be upgraded to Oak City. It has the best education and medical care in the Cape, as well as a relatively complete urban infrastructure.
Facilities, but it's a pity that the children here all want to study at the University of Nyasaland, not the University of Good Hope in Cape Town.
Compared with 1902, the only thing that remains unchanged in Oak Town is probably the endless vineyards.
After the establishment of the federal government, Oak Town's wine became famous far and wide. Usually, if the place of origin is not specified, Cape Town wine refers specifically to Oak Town wine. There are currently more than 120 wineries in Oak Town.
Yan took the lead in establishing the Cape Wine Federation to unify and standardize the wine production process of Oak Town, and hired craftsmen and winemakers from Europe to continuously improve the wine of Oak Town. From wine alone, Oak Town can earn an annual income of
Millions of rands.
"We should send a telegram to the Lord. Some people in Cape Town are going too far now. Mr. Owen's arrival may not be able to change this situation." In the living room of Chen Yan's house, Wei Bing had a bad temper.
He is the cousin of Gordon's wife and also has a profound background.
There was no way around it. The Chinese who first came to Southern Africa were more or less related to those in Rock's inner circle. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so bold and bold to leave their hometown and come to Southern Africa. After all, it was still the early twentieth century.
.
Don’t use the thinking of people in the 21st century to confuse people in the early 20th century. At that time, even in the southeastern coast, people still had a narrow escape from death when going overseas to work. Most of them were sold as pigs overseas. The situation was actually similar to the slave trade in European and American countries.
It is simply impossible to expect those slave owners to protect the interests of Chinese workers.
The Chinese began to immigrate to Southern Africa on a large scale. In fact, it was only after the establishment of the federal government of Southern Africa. The Chinese who had already immigrated to Southern Africa at that time gradually spread the living conditions of the Chinese in Southern Africa back to the Far East. Only then did more and more people
Willing to fight for his life in southern Africa.
Attention, at this time it is not actually about working, but about fighting for one’s life.
“Don’t worry, Boshov is a loser. If he dares to target us Chinese, the Lord will not let him go.” Ma Kai, who is also from Zhili, is very confident. Ma Kai has an even more terrifying background and is Martin’s cousin.
"There is no need to go to the lord. We can just elect Boschov in the next general election. For democracy and freedom, just use democratic methods to deal with Boschov." Chen Yan sneered, not wanting to be influenced by Boschov.
Into the party atmosphere: "Come, come, let's try the wine brewed in Mrs. Cheng's garden. I think it's good and can be ranked first."
When a group of vineyard owners gather together, the main focus is of course wine.
Cheng’s wife is also a vineyard owner. Her husband joined the Southern African Expeditionary Force during the World War and died heroically during the war in Europe. Cheng’s wife raised four children by herself and struggled to survive.
Even if the fight is wrong, it’s not too difficult. The federal governments at all levels in Southern Africa take great care of military families. Although Mrs. Cheng’s husband died, her family’s life was not affected. Instead, she received various care from the federal and state governments as well as non-governmental organizations.
“It’s really good. The wine in Mrs. Cheng’s garden must be first-class or first-class.” Wei Bing is a righteous man and is also the person in charge of the Military Service Society in Oak Town.
The wines of Oak Town have begun a grading system. The best quality wines can be sold with the gold mark of Oak Town, followed by the silver mark and green mark. These three are officially recognized by Oak Town, similar to French brandy.
, the price is very different from wines from other regions.
Ordinary wine sells for about 0.5 rand on the market, while gold wine sells for as low as 6.5 rand on the market, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Of course, for ordinary people, even ordinary wine is quite expensive. Only the middle class dares to consume it in restaurants, and others can forget it.
"We chose to abstain. After all, it's still not good. We have to give Mr. Irving some face. How about we donate some money to Mr. Irving? It makes sense." Ma Kai still knows how to behave. Irving is also Rock's uncle, so he should give
I still have to give him some face.
McKay's official position is that of the Rifle Association's director in Oak Town.
“How much is appropriate to donate?” Wei Bing was unsure. It would be shameful to donate less, and it would be painful to donate too much. It was difficult to grasp the amount.
“How about fifty thousand?” Ma Kai gritted his teeth. Fifty thousand rand was still acceptable to these vineyard owners.
"I'm afraid fifty thousand is a bit low." Although Wei Bing didn't know Owen well, I'm afraid that the number fifty thousand was probably disdainful to Owen.
After all, Owen is also a direct member of the Matilda family, the son of the current Prime Minister of Southern Africa, and the brother of the Minister of Justice. Fifty thousand rand, if replaced by Ferdinand Boschoff, is enough. For Owen,
You may not be able to catch your eye.
"If you want to donate, just donate 100,000, 50,000 won't be easy to come by. After all, Mr. Owen is also the Lord's uncle, so you still have to give him this face." Chen Yan made the decision, don't look at Luokexiaosi.
Tens to millions. For small businessmen like Chen Yan and Ma Kai, one hundred thousand rand is already a big number.
"Then it's one hundred thousand. After all, we are also members of the Liberal Party. We can't always let some people gossip." Wei Bing gritted his teeth and admitted. Even though the Liberal Party has far more people than the Progressive Party in Cape State, if they really want to donate, the Liberals will still
It was really not as generous as the Progressives. After Irving decided to run for the election, the Liberal Party only raised less than 200,000 in campaign funds. It was Henry who came forward to make up the 500,000 for Irving.
“It would be great if my lord could come to the Cape to run for governor.” Ma Kai regretted that if Roque was willing to run for Cape governor, Ma Kai would be happy even if he lost all his money.
"What are you thinking? The Lord is the one who wants to be the Prime Minister, so the governor shouldn't bother the Lord." Chen Yan laughed loudly. Roque might not like the position of Cape Governor.
The next day, Chen Yan went to the official residence where Owen lived and handed over a check of 100,000 rand.
Interestingly, when Owen came to Cape Town, he did not live at the Liberal Party headquarters, but at Rock's home on Mill Street.
Mill Street today is no longer the haunted house it was known for.
After Rock moved into Mill Street, most of the Chinese policemen in the Cape Town Police Department chose to settle around Mill Street. Now the area around Mill Street is the community with the best security in Cape Town, and land prices have also soared. Rock bought it
The big house in Mill Street cost only a hundred pounds, and now you can't buy it for a thousand pounds.
Although Rock has not returned to Cape Town in these years, the house is still well taken care of. Zach has arranged for someone to be responsible for cleaning it, so it can be moved in at any time.
Owen expressed great enthusiasm for Chen Yan's arrival, and he really needed to talk to Chen Yan about the current situation of the Cape Liberal Party.
