In fact, Fawalt Steel Group has been under tremendous pressure in terms of environmental pollution.
The straight-line distance from Fawalt to Pretoria is less than 150 kilometers. Roque and Henry chose to set up heavy-polluting enterprises such as steel and cement plants in Fawalt. On the one hand, Fawalt was Henry's fiefdom, and on the other hand, Fawalt was Henry's fiefdom.
It is also because Fawalt is very close to Pretoria and Johannesburg, and is also on the transportation line from Pretoria to Salisbury, which is conducive to transportation.
Roque didn't expect that southern Africa would develop so fast. The pollution in Favalte had now affected Pretoria, and relocation was inevitable.
Rock gave Henry two choices, one was Hentis Bay near Whale Bay, and the other was Elizabeth Bay in southern Dias State. Both places are located in Dias State, on the Atlantic coast, with convenient transportation and far away from the core urban agglomeration.
, no matter how serious the pollution is, no one will care.
It cannot be said that Fawalt did not pay attention to environmental protection in the past, firstly because of cost constraints, and secondly because the technical level was not up to standard.
Now that Fawalt has completed primitive accumulation, the technical level of pollution control in Southern Africa is also constantly improving. The new factory is also a new opportunity. If Fawalt wants to be more competitive, he must use more
Hold yourself to high standards.
"That is to say, no matter what, you just lift me up into the Atlantic Ocean -" Henry looked resentful, like a resentful woman who was abandoned in the end.
"Don't say it so harshly, I'm doing it for your own good -" Luo Kezhen didn't kill the donkey to get rid of the trouble, but for the sake of sustainable development: "-Our companies are actually guilty of original sin. Fawalt has been exhausted over the years.
How many people have been killed and how many people have been infected with serious diseases? You know better than me—"
There are some things that Roark can’t explain very clearly.
Henry was also a man with a dark heart. In order to pursue profits and reduce costs as much as possible, he could only exploit the Africans who worked for Fawalt.
Roque really didn't know how many Africans Fawalt had died from exhaustion over the years, and Henry might not know either.
However, Roque knew that in the mines of Fawalt Steel Group, workers did not even have the most basic protection, and the physical damage they suffered could be imagined.
Southern Africa has imposed a five-year working time limit to keep Africans out of the country.
Favalt Steel Group implements this regulation most resolutely, because no one can work in Favalt Steel Group for more than five years.
"Locke, it's pointless if you say that -" Henry was very dissatisfied. Is this an attempt to settle accounts later?
"I'm overthinking Henry. I just want to tell you that we have to do something. We can't wait until trouble comes to our door before taking action." Roark is not so ruthless. The relationship between him and Henry is one of prosperity and loss.
Henry sat in the chair and hummed dissatisfied, not satisfied with Rock's explanation.
Not bad, Henry didn't fall out directly, so we can still communicate.
Rock didn't talk nonsense, got up and went to the window and opened it.
The lights outside the window are bright, and the cool evening breeze is refreshing. There are faint sounds of singing, children are playing, couples are walking, merchants are trying to attract customers, and the guards at the gate of the Ministry of National Defense are changing their posts.
The country is peaceful and the people are safe!
"Henry, do you still remember what Pretoria was like when we first came to Pretoria?" Roque now spends more and more time nostalgic, and feels that his mentality is similar to Ade.
Now Roque has become the representative of conservatives in southern Africa, and Philip is the pioneer of the reformists.
"Of course, I will never forget -" Henry came to Rock's side and looked out the window at the bustling scene, as if he was in another world.
Pretoria today has actually surpassed most cities in Roque's memory in terms of urban construction.
It’s really not an exaggeration. There are no urban villages or slums in Pretoria now. There are almost no telephone poles on the ground. There are bigster trees everywhere in the city. The number of parks is amazing. Especially the air quality. It’s really amazing.
It deserves to be called the "Garden City".
"I remember we discussed this issue before. Let's solve the existing problems first, and then solve them later." Roque is still very proud. This city built from the ruins has become a business card of southern Africa.
Rock didn't wait for Henry to answer, and continued on his own: "——Now is the time to solve the problem. I just said that our companies are all guilty of original sin. No one dares to attack us now. It does not mean that it will not happen in the future.
No, all the gifts of fate have already been marked with a secret price——"
"Wow, Locke, why did you suddenly become so philosophical?" Henry's reaction was not normal.
Rock also doesn't know if Stefan Zweig has written "The Beheaded Queen" yet.
But it doesn’t matter, guys like Henry probably don’t pay attention to literary works.
"What I mean is that we can't just leave the scars of the mines, the pungent wastewater, and the gray air - move the factories, plant some trees in Favart and slowly restore the environment.
, you don’t want to leave Henry with a devastated Fawalt, right?” Roque was helpless, rarely quoting a classic quote, but it’s a pity that he talks like a duck.
The "Henry" Roque refers to is Henry's eldest son "Little Henry" and the first heir to Henry's title.
"Don't mention that kid, I want to beat him to death right now -" Henry's expression was ugly. Every family has its own problems.
Henry and Lacey had four children in total after their marriage. Henry was the only boy, so he was naturally doted on.
On Rock's side, Gavin is incompetent and Alvin is there, and the tuba is useless and there is a trumpet.
Henry didn't have many choices. If little Henry failed, all Henry could do was to get little Henry married and have children early, and then put his hope in his grandson.
Then we have to ensure that little Henry can give birth to enough sons.
Rock rolled his eyes depressedly. It was very painful to chat with Henry. This guy had a very special ability and could always easily change the topic.
Commonly known as "crooked building".
"Come on, come on, accommodate yourself, don't talk about it all day long like an old man." Henry is not stubborn. Pretoria is now positioned as a tourist city, and its environmental requirements are getting higher and higher, and Philip is probably no less.
Beat Henry.
After taking care of Henry, Rock turned around and called Li Li and Green Elsey over for some advice. These two were the general managers of Nyasaland Heavy Industries and Nyasaland Automobile respectively.
"This is the situation. You now have real competitors. Not only Rhodesian cars, but also American Ford is about to enter southern Africa. Are you ready?" Rock still placed his trust in Li Li and Green Elsie.
I have great hope that Nyasaland Motors did not start late, has a good foundation, and has advantages in cost and technology. If it cannot beat Ford, it is really unjustifiable.
Green Elsey is a professional manager from France with outstanding ability and quick thinking. It was Green Elsey who single-handedly planned the layout of Washington Auto in the United States.
After graduating from Nyasaland University, Li Li worked at Rand Bank and performed very well. He was promoted from clerk to vice president. At the beginning of this year, he was just parachuted to Nyasaland Heavy Industries as general manager.
Li Li is also the first Chinese to hold the position of general manager in a company owned by Rock.
"No problem, neither Rhodesian Motors nor American Ford can shake the status of Nyasaland Motors." Green Elsey is confident that Nyasaland Motors and Nyasaland Heavy Industries used to be brothers.
Fighting, now we finally have to unite to defend against the enemy.
"We have just sold part of our business to a South African company, and some of our technical staff have been poached by the South African company with high salaries. Now the cash flow is quite sufficient -" Li Li faces greater difficulties, but there are still advantages. In off-road vehicles and
In terms of pickup trucks, Nyasaland Heavy Industries has accumulated enough experience and has enough patents in its hands. It can earn millions in patent licensing fees every year.
Don’t underestimate patents. Southern Africa attaches great importance to intellectual property rights. If infringement occurs, if the circumstances are serious, it can lead to the bankruptcy of a large-scale enterprise.
Even with the relationship between Nyasaland Motors and Nyasaland Heavy Industries, if Nyasaland Motors wants to use the patents of Nyasaland Heavy Industries, it will need to pay high patent fees to obtain patent authorization.
It is precisely because of Nyasaland’s emphasis on patents that there has been a technological explosion in recent years.
At the University of Nyasaland and Nyasaland scientific research institutions, it is common for them to become rich overnight with the help of a certain patent. Many university professors or scientific researchers can live a lifetime of food and clothing with just a patent. This is also the reason why more and more scientific research talents
One of the important reasons for immigrating to southern Africa.
"I'm warning you, don't try to poach the scientific researchers of our group -" Green Elsey was full of vigilance. The flow of personnel between Nyasaland Automobile and Nyasaland Heavy Industries was already very frequent.
Li Li smiled and said nothing, as long as the law does not prohibit it, the flow of personnel is normal, as long as the secrets of the original unit are not leaked.
Nyasaland Enterprises have already reached a consensus in this regard. A scientific researcher who casually leaks the secrets of his original unit will be collectively ostracized by all scientific research institutions.
If you think about it, you can understand that if a scientific researcher of Nyasaland Automotive changes his job to Nyasaland Heavy Industries and leaks some undisclosed technology of Nyasaland Automobile to Nyasaland Heavy Industries, then if this employee
If Chang is poached by Ford, the technology of Nyasaland Heavy Industries will also be leaked to Ford.
What's more, many technologies are useless even if they are obtained. You still have to pay the patent licensing fee to apply it. If you don't want to pay, be careful. The Southern African tax department and Bullard's office are not idlers.
"No -" Li Li was confident. Nyasaland Heavy Industry started late and had insufficient technical accumulation, so it had deeper and closer cooperation with Nyasaland University.
With tens of thousands of teachers and students at Nyasaland University, Nyasaland Heavy Industries does not need to go to Nyasaland Automobile to recruit people.
: Regarding the population of Southern Africa, a lot of ground has been laid before. After the World War, a large number of European immigrants came to Southern Africa, so the population of Southern Africa increased rapidly. Besides, the proportion of Chinese people cannot exceed 8%.
Fifteen, the proportion of Chinese in the book is probably about 60%.
