The lion is the undoubted king of the grasslands. The Southern African lion is one of the largest cats in the world and the animal that best represents southern Africa.
In another time and space, mascots for large-scale sports games first appeared in the 1972 Munich Olympics. Since the Commonwealth Games even required sponsorship fees for brooches, mascots, as an important peripheral part of the games, would not be missed.
When it comes to sports games surroundings, there are too many articles to write about.
Southern Africa is rich in gold and diamonds, so you can use gold and diamonds to make some expensive "Simba" for the dignitaries watching the Commonwealth Games to buy home as souvenirs.
Ordinary people can't afford the expensive "Simba", so they can buy a low-priced but equally beautifully made plush "Simba" to take home, which is also a good choice.
Who can resist the attraction of stuffed toys?
A small mascot, Roque predicts, will bring at least R10 million in revenue to the Commonwealth Games, while also creating a new image for southern Africa.
Cute, but cruel.
Putting these two completely different concepts together is what is now southern Africa.
The Simba sent by the Johannesburg Textile Company is made of real leather, of course it is cowhide rather than lion skin.
As southern Africa develops faster and faster, the Cape lion, which grew up in the Cape region, was completely extinct at the end of the last century. The Kruger lion, which mainly lives in Fawalt in the northeastern Transvaal, is also declining rapidly. Now its number
There are already less than 2,000 animals, and the federal government of Southern Africa is considering establishing a nature reserve in Fawalte to protect wild animals.
The fluffy Q-version yellow little lion has black glass eyes, a surprisingly big head, a fluffy mane, a serious yet cute look, and it looks very cute.
"We have produced 5,000 units and put them on the market, and the response has been very good. The price of five rand each is not cheap, but they have been snapped up by people. This size is suitable for displaying on desks. Next, we will produce sizes over one meter.
Super dolls, as well as decorations that can be hung on schoolbags." Richard, the general manager of the Johannesburg Textile Company, reported to Rock face to face that there is a huge market around the sports games, which will bring huge profits to the Johannesburg Textile Company.
This is actually an opportunity. Businessmen all know that women and children are the most profitable. Johannesburg Textile Company used to focus on clothing production and rarely got involved in children's toys. This is a brand new field with countless business opportunities in the future.
The children's toy market is not just plush toys, building blocks and dolls also have a promising future.
In 1926, the market for children's toys was almost empty.
Fisher-Price was founded in 1930, Lego was not registered until 1934, Barbie first appeared in 1959, and Hasbro still makes pencil cases.
Therefore, Felice has registered a large number of brands as quickly as possible to produce children's toys, children's school supplies, children's daily necessities, and infant formula milk powder.
Yes, don't forget that southern Africa has a developed animal husbandry industry, so milk powder cannot be ignored, and not only children, but the elderly also have needs in this regard.
If there is no demand, it is very simple. Just find a few so-called experts to praise it in newspapers and radio stations, and demand will be created immediately. The market can be guided, and it can also be created.
"It's not bad. The raw materials used must be safe." Roque has high requirements. Children have weaker resistance to diseases. This is especially important when producing toys.
"Of course, our raw materials have been strictly processed and are absolutely guaranteed to be safe and harmless." Richard is proud that the products of Johannesburg Textile Company have always been famous for their quality.
Of course style is also important, but quality is the foundation.
Unlike many one-time luxury goods produced by Iteno, the main customers of Johannesburg Textile Company are ordinary people, who have stricter quality requirements. Although such products have less profit, they sell more and the overall profit is still considerable.
Of course, there are also those with high profits. For example, the orders placed by the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa to the Johannesburg Textile Company have relatively high profits.
For orders from the military and federal government, the Johannesburg Textile Company has also stricter requirements. The consequences of fraud in this area are very serious, and it is not uncommon to be subject to punitive fines from the judicial department, and it is not uncommon to lose everything.
At the end of April, various countries will send their team lists for the Commonwealth Games to southern Africa.
A total of 11 countries sent teams to participate in the first Commonwealth Games. It was different from the first Commonwealth Games in another time and space. This time and space, the first Commonwealth Games was held in southern Africa and there would be 1,525 athletes. Arrive in Pretoria.
Including the staff of delegations from various countries, the total number will reach an unprecedented 4,345 people. This number surprised Roque.
"It's not surprising. Southern Africa has become famous in recent years. Everyone knows that Southern Africa is already a developed country -" Winston was not surprised at all. There are countless British people who come to Southern Africa for vacation every winter.
"It's incredible that the environment in southern Africa has not been affected by economic development - in recent years, the scenery of southern Africa has been spread all over the world with movies shot in southern Africa. Everyone knows that southern Africa has a developed economy. It is rich in products and has beautiful scenery, so it is not surprising that the Commonwealth Games held in Pretoria is a rare publicly funded trip for many people." Winston himself is a beneficiary of the Commonwealth Games. Otherwise, there would be no chance to openly come to southern Africa and be lazy.
It's really lazy. The Conservative Party's coming to power did not end the chaos in the UK, but instead brought the chaos to an unprecedented level.
In May last year, the British Cabinet held a meeting and agreed to give the coal mining industry a nine-month subsidy totaling 23 million pounds to maintain the wages of coal workers.
This day is called "Red Friday".
Mine owners have proposed that wages should be reduced and working hours extended after government subsidies are used up.
The coal miners' union will not give in.
After six months of investigation, the Royal Commission headed by Mussel agreed to reduce miners' wages by 10% and extend the working day from 7 hours to 8 hours.
The miners were extremely dissatisfied with this and proposed that "the wages cannot be less than a penny and the working hours cannot be more than one second." The negotiations between the Miners' Federation and the mine owners reached a deadlock.
By the end of February this year, the government subsidies had been exhausted, the mine owners announced the closure of the mines, and the miners' union decided to strike nationwide.
This decision is a bit funny. The mine owners have decided to close the mines. The coal miners have no wells to go down, and they have no jobs even if they don't go on strike.
At this time, the Labor Party, which had already resigned, was unwilling to be left alone. Under the instigation of the Labor Party, trade unions in various industries voted on the coordinated strike policy and decided to implement a general strike.
On March 4th, the general strike began.
The general strike lasted for nine days. At its climax, the total number of strikers was close to 6 million. In addition to the coal mining industry, workers in the electrical, steel, railway, construction and printing industries participated in the strike, and almost all cities in the UK were paralyzed.
Under these circumstances, Stanley Baldwin's government had to implement an emergency transportation service of basic supplies and hired thousands of special police officers, with buses and trains driven by volunteers.
By March 12, the workers' conference decided to call off the strike, but the miners' union refused to resume work.
The mine owners are unwilling to compromise, and the British coal industry still has not resumed operations. Neither the unions nor the mine owners are willing to give in.
It was against this background that Winston came to southern Africa.
"It's not surprising that there are 1,500 athletes in total, and there are twice as many officials and entourages as athletes. Is this normal?" Rock didn't like this structure, but this was also the national condition of the British Empire.
"Of course, this does not include His Majesty's entourage, otherwise the number of British delegation would be estimated to be more than 10,000 people." Winston looked calm.
Yes, King George V is considering whether to come to Pretoria to attend the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games.
It would be great if George V also came to Pretoria.
His Majesty the King is going to attend the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games. Do governors, prime ministers, prime ministers, etc. from other autonomous territories want to attend?
In this case, let's just hold another imperial meeting and don't waste this opportunity.
"What's going on with these African athletes? They also want to participate in the Commonwealth Games?" Kitchener was very dissatisfied with the list of the British delegation, which included dozens of African athletes.
"African athletes can participate in the Olympics, why can't they participate in the Commonwealth Games?" Winston could actually say such a thing, it's amazing!
There is no doubt that, like most Europeans, Winston was a complete racist.
When Winston was Secretary of State for the Colonies, facing the farmers of Mesopotamia, Winston "strongly supported the use of poison gas bombs against uncivilized tribes, which would have the effect of spreading fear."
In Afghanistan, Winston said: "The Pashtuns must realize that the British nation is superior to themselves - and those who oppose it should be killed immediately and without mercy -"
In Kenya, Winston sent at least 150,000 Kenyans to concentration camps in order to sell the fertile highlands to white immigrants.
Even in Ireland, Winston did not hesitate to use vehicle-mounted machine guns and bombs to disperse demonstrators.
So when these words came out of Winston's mouth, Rock could only understand that Winston hoped that the British delegation could achieve good results.
It is undeniable that the physical condition of some Africans is indeed excellent. For example, African hunters in Kenya often chase their prey for days and nights in order to kill them. Such people are born to run.
"This is very dangerous. I don't recommend allowing Africans to participate in the Commonwealth Games. Just like our southern African football team never accepts African athletes, the audience does not pay to watch Africans show off on the field -
"Kitchin Na was determined, these words are not suitable for Rock to say, and it is most appropriate for Kit Chin Na to say them.
