To use a cliché, Johannesburg is heaven to some, but hell to most.
For people like Rock, Johannesburg is paradise, because there is countless wealth and glory here. Rock's identity and ability can make Rock feel like a fish in water in Johannesburg.
For people like Kevin, Johannesburg is hell. Also because there is countless wealth and glory here, Kevin's identity and abilities are almost meaningless. Even if Kevin's father is the director of the Pretoria Mining Bureau,
Kevin is still frustrated by Rock and Phyllis. If Kevin knows better and stops entangled, then Kevin can escape unscathed. If Kevin keeps entangled, then Kevin may be ruined.
The result of being ruined is not bad. With Kevin's kind of virtue, if Kevin's father found a gold mine for Kevin, it would be causing disaster for Kevin. In a situation like Johannesburg, there is no need for Rock to do anything.
, people like Aiden and Mike can eat Kevin alive.
Nelson Holt was also worried about this, so even if he had the chance, he would not dare to leave it to his son. In Nelson Holt's view, Rock was a good person to entrust.
Rock can be lenient and kind to those gold diggers who steal gold, so if he establishes a good relationship with Rock, for Nelson Holt's sake, even if Nelson Holt is gone in the future, Rock will
Taking care of Nelson Holt's son.
"Nelson, there's no need for this. You can leave the opportunity to your son. If I need it, I will get what I want with my own ability." Nelson Holt wanted to give it, but Rock didn't want it yet.
This is the difference between people. If it were Kevin, he would probably have started to kneel and lick him by now.
At least Phyllis's eyes were shining when she looked at Roark.
"No, no, no, Locke, there are some things that are opportunities for you, and for my son, haha." Nelson Holt didn't finish his words, it was enough for this purpose.
Speaking of which, Rock had no reason to refuse.
Just the afternoon before yesterday, Nelson Holt discovered a gold mine with great re-mining value. On the surface, this gold mine called Moses has no re-mining value. The gold content in the ore is less than 1 gram.
per ton, but Nelson Holt concluded after in-depth exploration that the Moses Gold Mine still has huge development value. He only needs to dig down another ten meters on the basis of the original mine to discover a new gold mining belt.
This gold ore belt is extremely rich. Nelson Holt concluded that the gold content per ton of gold ore is at least 150 grams.
What a great gift.
Even better is that because the Moses Gold Mine has been abandoned, Rock does not need to apply to the Pretoria Mining Bureau to purchase it. He only needs to apply to the interim government in the name of purchasing a farm, and he can legally acquire the land near the Moses Gold Mine.
of land ownership.
After obtaining the land ownership, Rock can apply for the "Gold Mine Discoverer Ownership Certificate" from the Bureau of Mines in the name of the newly discovered gold mine. At that time, even if the director of the Bureau of Mines is Kevin himself, Kevin will not be able to stop him.
Rock legally acquired the Moses Gold Mine.
"Nelson, I can guarantee you that even if your son learns nothing in Cambridge, five percent of the annual profits of the Moses Gold Mine will be paid to your son in the form of salary." Rock couldn't think of anything better.
The best way to repay Nelson Holt is to give him money.
Don't underestimate these five percent. To develop a gold mine, it's not just as simple as digging the gold out of the ground. It requires people, equipment, connections, and taxes. The final profit can be 100%.
Thirty is pretty good.
Of course, 30% is for ordinary gold mines. If the information provided by Nelson Holt is correct and the gold content of the ore in Moses Gold Mine reaches more than 150 grams per ton, then the profit will be far more than
Thirty percent.
In fact, five percent is enough to satisfy Nelson Holt. This is why Rock would give such a reward. If Nelson Holt provides this information to De Beers Unified Mining Company, then in the end,
The likely outcome is that De Beers Unified Mining will pay Nelson Holt a lump sum cash payment.
A one-time payment is definitely not more cost-effective than yearly payments.
Nelson Holt's family is not wealthy, just getting by. Having a large sum of cash at one time is not a good thing for a family like Nelson Holt.
After leaving Nelson Holt's room, Rock thought for a moment and asked Phyllis to go out to the train station together and board the train to Pretoria.
Well, it's a special train. There are only two fixed passenger trains every day between Pretoria and Johannesburg. Rock and Phyllis have missed the time, but because of Rock's status as a senior inspector, Rock can easily
Apply for a special train.
The kind that requires payment is actually not expensive, only 50 pounds.
It’s not cheap anymore, the fixed passenger train fare between Pretoria and Johannesburg is only one shilling.
It’s great to have money!
At ten o'clock in the evening, Roque and Phyllis had arrived in Pretoria.
Henry was still awake. Hearing the news about the Moses Gold Mine, Henry immediately became energetic.
"Gold mine! Are you serious?" Henry was still wearing pajamas.
"Yes, if the information provided by Nelson Holt is correct, then each ton of ore contains at least 150 grams of gold." Rock was also amazed that there are very few gold mines of this level in the world.
"Let's go to Johannesburg." Henry's desire for gold mines is really clear.
"Don't be stupid. Gold mines don't grow wings and fly away. You go to the city government immediately tomorrow and buy all the land near the Moses Gold Mine in your name. Phyllis, check." Rock motioned to Phyllis
.
Phyllis looked so proud when she took out the check.
"55,000 pounds?!!!" Henry was stunned. How many days had Rock and Phyllis been in Johannesburg?
Henry feels like he has missed out on hundreds of millions!
"Mine!" Phyllis emphasized.
Henry didn't answer and looked at Roark with questioning eyes.
Rock nodded, it was indeed Phyllis's, and it was an apology from Aiden.
Although the money was actually paid to Matilda's family, nominally, the 5,000 pounds did belong to Phyllis.
"Well, I'll keep it for you. Don't worry, I will definitely buy you a generous dowry." Henry put the check in his safe, and it seemed that he didn't intend to return it to Phyllis.
This shameless face is so similar to those guys who deceive children to get lucky money!
