In Johannesburg, there are some things that must be clarified, otherwise you will die without knowing how.
This time it looked like the Mining Alliance had put up seven gold mines for auction, but in fact there were not many gold mines that could really increase the price. After Holly raised his placard, everyone still had a tacit understanding not to raise their placard, and Aiden soon announced that Cover
The gold mine was sold at a reserve price of R20,000.
No matter how good the relationship between Sidney Milner and Rock is, he can't help but feel jealous and jealous. Just now, the Marcellus gold mine sold an unprecedented 450,000 rand. Now
The Coverdale Gold Mine, which is not much smaller than the Marcellus Gold Mine, only sold for 20,000 yuan. Even though Roque is in Nyasaland all year round, his influence in Johannesburg is not less.
"Let's go." As soon as Aiden announced the deal, Rock stood up and left.
"Let's see again." Sidney Milner wanted to continue watching the fun.
"Let's go. After we leave, the auction can proceed normally." Luo Ke still explained that the appearance should not be too ugly. Others have saved enough face for Luo Ke and Xiao Si, and Luo Ke and Xiao Si also want to see each other.
If it's good, accept it.
Sidney Milner noticed at this time that Stoudemire had left the game early at some point.
Then go. When he left his seat, Sidney Milner could even hear a small cheer from the heart in the venue.
It seems that the shadows created by Rock and Stoudemire are indeed a bit big.
After leaving the city hall, I discovered that Owen was actually there, waiting for Rock and Sidney Milner in the car with Stoudemire.
Then let's go to the Cecil family's manor for dinner together. It was only at the dinner table that Rock learned that at this moment, the Ignati Woods gold mine purchased by Stoudemire had been resold to Irving, and the price was still 50,000.
rand.
This operation left Sidney Milner speechless.
"De Beers Unified Mining Company already owns more than half of the Rand mining area. It doesn't matter if there is one more or one less. What we have to be wary of is foreign capital, whether it is Americans, French, or Russians. I want them all to get out."
Southern Africa." If Stoudemire's words spread, it might affect the internal relations of the Allied Powers.
Although Stoudemire's status is high, he is actually a businessman after all. It doesn't matter what he says. Rock and Sidney Milner are both senior officials in Southern Africa. Such words cannot be discussed casually, so Rock and Sidney Milner
Milner seemed not to hear, concentrating on the steak on the plate in front of him.
"Ernest Oppenheimer seems to have gone to London to prevent this guy from causing trouble." Owen was in a good mood. He bought a rich ore that was being mined for fifty thousand rand. To put it bluntly, it was like picking up for free.
"Not yet," Rock said softly, and several people immediately laughed evilly.
It takes half a month to go to London by boat from Cape Town. Now Ernest Oppenheimer is still floating on the sea. By the time Ernest Oppenheimer arrives in London, everything will have settled. Even if
Ernest Oppenheimer finally found someone willing to stand up for him, and the distance between southern Africa and London was daunting enough.
"How many workers are there in the Marcellus Gold Mine?" Sidney Milner is still concerned about the Marcellus Gold Mine that has not yet been acquired.
According to Johannesburg custom, the Marcellus Gold Mine can now be renamed the Milner Gold Mine.
However, considering Sidney Milner's identity, it is unlikely that this name will be changed.
"Workers don't have to worry. The workers who led the trouble have been sent to Ceylon. The remaining workers can still be used, but these workers will also have to be replaced in batches. Dogs that have eaten meat will no longer want to eat potatoes."
Si has experience in dealing with this kind of thing.
Sidney "Ceylon" Milner worries about future consequences.
"Don't worry." Rock understands Stoudemire's usual style of doing things. The so-called "exile" is just a rhetoric. No one can tell where he has gone.
During the Boer War, the Expeditionary Force exiled at least 8,000 people. Now that the war has ended many years ago, not many of them have come back to look for their relatives.
"Isn't this a bit too simple and crude for us?" Sidney Milner was not used to Rock and Stoudemire's unscrupulous approach.
"The way the French manage the Marcellus gold mine is because it is too civilized, so the workers will go on strike." Stoudemire hit the nail on the head.
"I'm going back to Nyasaland tomorrow, can we go together?" Rock didn't want to stay in Johannesburg and was eager to return home.
"You go first, I still have things to deal with." Stoudemire can't leave yet. Even Sidney Milner feels that the way the Mining Alliance handles these gold mines is too hasty, so Stoudemire still has some things to deal with.
Haste also has its benefits. Seven gold mines were auctioned for a total of 2.03 million rand, with an average of 290,000 rand per gold mine.
This is under the premise that the Ignati Woods Gold Mine and the Coverdale Gold Mine only fetched 50,000 and 20,000 respectively. If these two are removed, the average price of each gold mine reaches more than 390,000. This is
The real price of gold mines in Johannesburg.
The money is divided into three parts. One part will be distributed by the Mining Union to other mine owners to account for the losses caused by the strike at the Marcellus gold mine to other mine owners. The other two parts will be handed over to the Johannesburg City Hall and the Transvers.
The state government of Washington, and the other part is handed over to the federal government.
This will benefit both top and bottom. Even if there are problems later, the federal government, state governments and municipal governments must stand on the same front as the mining alliance.
Roque returned directly to Nyasaland early the next morning and did not stop when passing through Pretoria.
Nyasaland is still changing rapidly. Just a few days after leaving Little Rock, there are several construction sites starting at the same time on King Street near Cecil Rhodes Square, and the scale is not small.
The business district of Little Rock used to be concentrated around Cecil Rhodes Square, with Nyasaland State Government, Little Rock City Government, Nyasaland Council and other institutions, as well as Rand Bank, De Beers Consolidated Mining Company, Nyasaland
The headquarters of large enterprises such as Saran Agricultural Development Company and Favalte Steel Company in Nyasaland are all in this area.
In addition to these government agencies and corporate headquarters, Cecil Rhodes Square is also surrounded by the largest state library in Nyasaland, the Nyasaland Museum donated by Stoudemire, and the recently built Nyasaland Song.
Theater, and the Cape Department Store under Ada's name, etc.
More and more companies have settled in, making the land around Cecil Rhodes Square very expensive. All the residential houses around the square have been expropriated by the Nyasaland City Government or acquired by large companies. Those that have just been built are actually
Within a few years, the houses were demolished one after another, and then permanent buildings with masonry and concrete structures were erected.
As more and more buildings were built around the square, companies that later entered Nyasaland, or companies that were established later, began to concentrate on King Street, where various scientific research institutions were originally gathered.
Now the headquarters of Nyasaland Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, Nyasaland Automobile Company, and Nyasaland Military Industrial Group are all located on King Street, between King Street and Sunset Boulevard on the shores of Lake Niasa, which has also become the most prosperous area in Little Rock.
, Nyasaland Army Academy and Nyasaland Flying Academy, as well as the two schools that were just upgraded to "academies" this year, are located in this area.
These two schools are the newly established Nyasaland Mechanical College and the Nyasaland School of Economics.
Long before the establishment of Nyasaland University, in order to meet the human resource gap in Nyasaland, Rock tried to cultivate technical talents through short-term training courses. One of them was a mechanical training course led by Rudolf Diesel;
It is an accounting training course run by Rand Bank.
These two training schools have provided a large number of basic talents for the economic development of Nyasaland. After the establishment of Nyasaland University, these two training schools have not suspended classes and continue to cultivate more talents for Nyasaland.
.
About half a year ago, the Nyasaland State Government decided to upgrade these two training schools. The upgraded Mechanical College and Economic College can issue graduation certificates to students.
Of course, the graduation certificates from these two schools are certainly less valuable than Nyasaland University.
But that doesn't matter, as long as the Nyasaland state government recognizes it, it doesn't matter whether the federal government recognizes Roque or not.
Most of them have to admit that after moving to the new campus, at least in terms of hardware facilities, the School of Mechanical Engineering and the School of Economics are no worse than the University of Good Hope in Cape Town. In terms of soft power, they are even better. Rock can't even think of a federal school.
The government has reasons for not recognizing it.
However, Roque probably couldn't make it in time for the founding ceremony of the two colleges. On September 3rd, Italy finally declared war with the Ottoman Empire, and the Italian-Turkish War broke out.
In Roque's impression, the Italian-Turkish War in another time and space seemed to have not broken out until September 28, 1911. It is only now 1910, which is a full year earlier than the time when the Italian-Turkish War broke out in another time and space. This
Rock was caught off guard.
It is probably normal to think about it. A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest can cause a hurricane in Texas by flapping its wings a few times. It has been ten years since Rock came to this era. There is no "Strong Wind" fighter jet in another time and space.
Without the "Albatross" bombers, Italy and the Ottoman Empire had obtained these advanced weapons so long in advance, and it was very bearable for them to wait until now to declare war.
In fact, the calculation time is almost the same. Although Italy and the Ottoman Empire have airplanes, they do not have pilots. It is easy to buy airplanes, but it is difficult to train pilots. That is why Italy and the Ottoman Empire have been delayed until now.
The Italian-Turkish War is like a charge to Nyasaland's military industrial enterprises. From the moment the Italian-Turkish War breaks out, Nyasaland's military industrial enterprises will start full production.
The military industrial enterprises in Nyasaland are still very scary now. It doesn't matter if the Italians and the Ottoman Empire cannot use up the weapons they produce. They can be sold back to the British mainland in a few years.
The Italian-Turkish War broke out in advance. Is the First World War still far away?
