After reconstruction, Krugersdorp was named Ziwei Town by Rock.
Yes, Rock is planning to plant a large number of Ziwei trees in Ziwei Town, just like Oak Town. The Ziwei tree will become the symbol of Ziwei Town in the future. From October to November every year, Ziwei trees will be planted throughout the town.
The trees will be full of purple flowers, and the fruit trees are fragrant. Rock is very confident to build Ziwei Town into a Chinese paradise.
As for the fruit trees, Roark doesn’t need to worry about this. Referring to the experience of Oak Town, if the Chinese settle their homes in Ziwei Town, they will plant fruit trees all over the house without Roark’s request. The only thing Roark has to worry about is
, because there are too many fruit trees, Ziwei Town will eventually turn into Apple Town, or Amarula Town.
Amarula (aaru) is a common fruit tree in South Africa. The wine made from this fruit tree is called elephant wine. It has almost the same taste and color as Baileys. Everything Baileys can do
Yes, elephant wine is also available.
The key is that compared to Baileys, Elephant wine is cheaper, so in the 21st century, many profiteers sold Elephant wine as Baileys wine.
It sells very well.
At the same time that Krugersdorp was named Ziwei Town, the newly discovered gold mine was also named the Lock Gold Mine according to Transvaal tradition. In the official records of Pretoria, Lock Gold Mine
The grade of the mine is that each ton of ore contains 10 grams of gold. Among all the gold mines in the entire Rand region, this grade is neither high nor low. It is probably looked down upon by big companies, but it has not yet reached the point of "abandonment".
.
Considering that the profit of the gold mine will not be too high, even if the dividend is paid, it is estimated that it will not be much by the end of the year, so Rock offers Buck an annual salary of 1,000 pounds. Scarlett serves as the financial director, and the annual salary and the security director
The hook is the same, both cost 700 pounds.
This salary is neither high nor low in the Rand area.
In short, the Locke Gold Mine is inconspicuous in the Rand area and has almost no sense of existence. It is estimated that the profit status on the books will make the tax bureau too lazy to take care of it.
This is also what Rock wants.
It was only after the gold mine started operating that Rock was surprised to discover that it turned out that gold mines also needed technicians.
This problem is easy to solve. In Johannesburg, there are simply not too many gold mine technicians. Roque does not want British technicians. Although their skills are better, working in the mine makes it easy to understand the real situation of the mine. Roque asked
Christian found a dozen Boer technicians. It didn't matter if they had poor skills, it didn't matter if they didn't have enough experience, and it didn't matter if they didn't have enough manpower. He selected hundreds of smart ones from the Chinese miners and slowly trained them. Therefore, Rock didn't care if the production was affected.
Too much gold was mined, and Rock had to worry about attracting attention.
Established at the same time as the gold mine, was the security team in charge of Tiegou.
"Boss, I picked two hundred and fifty people. This is the list." Tie Gou felt a little guilty. With the new workers, there were only more than two thousand workers in the gold mine. Tie Gou picked out more than two hundred people at once.
, Under normal circumstances, this behavior is indeed a bit weird.
A security team of 250 people must have sufficient weapons. Considering the loss of weapons, that means that at least 00 pistols and 00 rifles are needed. Even if the number of war horses is halved, it will still need at least more than 100 horses.
, this is not a small number. There is no shortage of horses in the Transvaal now, but most of them are draft horses. Real war horses will be in short supply at all times.
When Rock picked up the list, he had to sigh that the demographic dividend of the Chinese was indeed unrivaled.
In the past, Rock had always believed that because of the Opium War, the Chinese today should be the "sick men of East Asia."
In fact, this is not the case at all. "Fu Shou Ointment" also requires money. In the situation in the Qing Dynasty, the ruling class or the landlord class had money to buy "Fu Shou Ointment", but the poor would definitely not be able to afford it. Therefore, the physical fitness of Chinese people nowadays often requires
Compared with people who perform agricultural labor in the 21st century, their physical fitness is not bad at all. What is really bad is their nutrition. As long as the nutrition can keep up, what will happen to the sick man of East Asia?
hehe
"If you need to buy something, go to Scarlett to get money. If you can't buy it in Johannesburg, go to Christian. This list won't work." Rock didn't even look at the list.
The sadness on Tie Gou's face flashed away. Sure enough, it still doesn't work?
"The training personnel cannot be limited to this list. There will be an assessment once a month. One-tenth of the people who are behind in the ranking will go to the mine to dig, and then one-tenth will be picked to make up for it." What Roque means is to strive for the top spot.
Let all miners be trained.
"What does one-tenth mean?" Tie Gou seemed to understand something, but not everything.
"What the hell did you learn in night school? Get out of here! If you don't understand what one-tenth means, you can go mining for me." Rock was very angry. When he was in the Matilda gold mine, Rock
Ask someone to tutor the miners in language and some basic math knowledge. Needless to say, the iron hook is definitely useless.
Tie Gou was very obedient and immediately disappeared from Rock's face. I don't know why, but he felt happy after being scolded.
What a bitch!
After scolding the hook, Scarlett immediately came to the door.
"Mr. Locke, we don't have any money in our account." Scarlett still looked sloppy, and Locke became angry when he saw her.
"I said you can't comb your hair? Can't you change into clean clothes? You keep your hair disheveled all day long, wear men's clothes, and don't wash your face. Is the dust on your nose deliberately smeared by yourself? Who are you trying to guard against?
?If I wanted to bully you, how could you hide until today?" Rock was not angry because of Scarlett's slovenliness, but because of Scarlett's ubiquitous defense.
Living in troubled times, being beautiful is a sin for women.
Scarlett must have understood this, so Scarlett looked slovenly and unkempt all day long. Her clothes had not been washed for who knows how long, and she still smelled a bit moldy.
It is good for women to have the awareness to protect themselves, but to this extent, it is a bit too much.
Not to mention anything else, Scarlett is now the financial director of Rock Gold Mine. Not only does she have to deal with Rock, the boss, she will also have to deal with all kinds of gods and Buddhas in the future. She also has to say that if outsiders see Scarlett,
Li, whether she said it or not, she might be complaining about Roark's mistreatment of employees.
What's more, a beautiful woman turns herself into such a ghost all day long. Does this reflect that Roque is a pervert?
Probably!
Scarlett was stunned, probably more surprised than hearing that someone wanted to drink her bath water.
"Listen, I pay you a salary of 700 pounds a year, just for your expertise, not because you are beautiful. This is Ziwei Town, not Oak Town, this is Locke Gold Mine, not Matilda Gold
Mine, no one can bully you here, you'd better clean yourself up, otherwise you'll have to wait to wash the miners' clothes." Rock now has the ability to protect Scarlett from any
Human infringement.
A gold mine with thousands of people, of course, also has laundresses. The Rock Gold Mine provides miners with high-quality services in all directions, so that the miners will remember the goodness of Rock, and when they become homesteaders or farmers in the future,
Only then will they be willing to listen to Rock and vote for the person who really needs it.
Scarlett definitely didn't want to wash clothes for the miners, so Scarlett looked at Rock blankly, then looked down at her shoes, which almost showed her toes, with a look of disgust on her face.
Your sister, you even despise yourself
Talent!
The next day, Rock saw Scarlett again. Scarlett had changed into standard business attire.
Of course, it's not the kind of tight-fitting suits, one-line skirts, and high heels. These days, there is no concept of women's professional attire.
Scarlett wore a suit top that was obviously modified by herself. It fit better and had a more obvious waistline. The area of her chest exposed was not large, but the collar of her shirt was barely exposed. The dress she wore underneath was not a one-line skirt.
Instead, she wore a pair of trousers with loose legs and put on brand new flat leather shoes. When Scarlett stood in front of Rock, Rock could still smell a little faint perfume.
Very good, at 700 pounds per year, it is indeed good value for money.
"I got 5,000 pounds. I'll make it last until next month no matter what." Roark got the money from Henry, so there was no need to tell Scarlett.
Having a mine at home sounds exciting, but in fact it would cost a lot of money to develop it, otherwise no one would sell the gold mine.
In order to develop the gold mine, Rock has spent all his savings. Without the Matilda gold mine, Rock would now be on the verge of bankruptcy.
This 5,000 pounds was Rock's advance dividend. Henry gave the money very happily, fearing that Rock would not want it.
In fact, according to Rock's previous thoughts, Rock really doesn't want the dividends from the Matilda Gold Mine. As long as the Rock Gold Mine starts producing gold, it will be enough to support Rock to do anything.
But Henry's relationship still needs to be maintained. Baron Philip does not believe in Roque's judgment, but Henry will not doubt it, so Henry firmly supports Roque. For the votes that Roque controls in the future, even if Roque does not want to share the dividends, Henry will take the initiative to send them.
.
"If you don't want to buy a horse, it should be enough." Scarlett's face was washed and her hair was neat, but she was wearing huge black-rimmed glasses, with half of her face hidden behind them.
"Then don't buy it yet." Rock was angry when he saw Scarlett's look.
From this perspective, Scarlett has indeed succeeded.
It's not all bad news. The gold mine had just started construction for half a month, and Buck happily came to see Roark.
"We found a gold mine, which is close to pure gold." Buck's voice was very low, as if he was afraid that others would hear him.
What are you afraid of?
There are only two people in the office, Rock and Buck. The door is ten meters away, and there are Rock's confidants outside the door. Even if Rock kills Buck in the office, no one will meddle in his business.
Uh-huh, this is too dirty, this is too dirty, no one except the Royal Navy of the British Empire likes this tune.
