As a victim of racial discrimination, Rock opposes all forms of racial discrimination.
For the sake of Henry and Phyllis, Rock can tolerate Arnold if he doesn't go too far.
But after hearing Arnold use the word "yellow man", Rock had already sentenced Arnold to death in his heart.
It is better to throw such a person back to the British mainland and let him fend for himself.
People who are about to fend for themselves do not have this consciousness. As the first heir to the Matilda family, everything in the Matilda family belongs to Arnold, including the Matilda gold mine.
At least that's what Arnold thinks.
So after seeing Roark, Arnold smiled contemptuously: "This is the Matilda gold mine. I am the first heir to the Matilda family. The gold mine is not mine, but it can be yours."
?"
"Arnold, why don't you recognize yourself? Is the first heir to the Matilda family the center of the universe? Let me emphasize to you again that the Matilda gold mine belongs to Henry, and you
, there is not even a penny relationship, so put away your domineering face, without your father and your brother, you are nothing-" Rock completely broke his face, for this kind of person, in any form,
Any concession will give him the illusion that everything is under control.
The expression on Arnold's face was wonderful. He probably didn't expect that Roark, the "servant" of the Matilda family, would dare to treat him, the first heir of the Matilda family, with such an attitude.<
/p>
So after his face turned red and white, Arnold stretched out his trembling fingers to Rock.
Not scared, but angry by Rock.
"You bastard -" Arnold was so angry that he almost went crazy. No one had ever dared to treat him like this. In the UK, even if the heirs of the great nobles looked down on Arnold, they would still maintain superficial courtesy.
"Don't do it, the consequences of doing so will be very dangerous." Rock glanced at Arnold with disgust and disgust, and Arnold suddenly felt like he was going crazy.
If Arnold takes action, Rock really doesn't mind taking the opportunity to beat Arnold up.
"You bastard, you'd better figure out your identity. You are a dog of the Matilda family -" Arnold didn't do anything. The previous lessons were profound enough.
"Shut up, you'd better figure out your identity. You are just a bastard who relies on your father and your brother to be arrogant and domineering. What are your own abilities? Have you ever made a penny with your own abilities? You
They are not even as good as those street girls in the red light district. At least they can support themselves. Besides going to the financial office to ask for money, what else do you do? Talk about the gold mine. Is the gold mine yours? Even if it belongs to your brother, it belongs to you.
What does father's have to do with you? You are so embarrassed. You go around asking for money with a big face. What is the difference between you and a beggar?" Roque curses people with this mouth and can make them angry to death.<
/p>
"Asshole, you're done! You're done! I will definitely stuff you into the sewers and sewers -" Arnold definitely does not have as rich a vocabulary as Rock, or else he is ignorant and incompetent. He can't beat you in a fight, and he can't curse you in the street.
, once others ignore his status as the first heir of the Matilda family, he is nothing.
"Sorry, I'm afraid you don't have that ability. This is Johannesburg. You want to stuff the police chief of Johannesburg into the sewers. Do you think you are the Governor or the Queen? I'm afraid neither the Governor nor the Queen would say that! I am in front of you now.
, come on, you can try it if you have the ability?" Rock challenged, it would be best to make Arnold so angry that he would have a brain attack.
"Just wait and see, just wait and see -" Arnold could only repeat this sentence over and over again. He was now being scolded by Rock and was completely confused.
"That's enough, Arnold." Henry finally arrived.
"How dare you call me by my name, you should call me brother." Arnold roared, finally finding a new goal, which was the only way he could maintain his self-esteem.
"Okay, my dear brother, please leave here now, and you are not allowed to come to the Matilda Gold Mine again. If you don't want to be thrown back to London, just be honest in Johannesburg -" Henry said sharply
, he, the police chief, lost his temper, even more elegantly than Roque: "By the way, have you paid off all those bad gambling debts of yours? I really underestimated you, you are really promising, with money from the gold mine
Use the money to pay off your gambling debts, and you will have to point fingers later. Let me tell you clearly now, the gold mine is mine and Locke's, and it has nothing to do with you at all. If you want to make money yourself, go back and complain to your father, maybe he will
I will buy you a gold mine and let you play with it as you please."
As expected, Henry understood Arnold better, and Rock's three views were refreshed again. How shameless must he be to pick up the bowl to eat and put down the chopsticks to curse.
"Henry, I am your brother, please show some respect to me -" Arnold was going crazy. He felt that his naked body was being stripped naked and exposed in front of everyone.
"I respect the fact that you are my brother, but it is definitely not you. Your behavior does not deserve respect." Henry didn't talk nonsense and glanced at the door. Two men in black suits came in and walked to Arnold.
"Sir, Lord Matilda wants you to see him immediately." All black suits have poker faces.
"Are you going to send me back to London? You are really my good brother -" Arnold already felt something was wrong.
"If you don't want to be sent back to London tonight, then you'd better go back early to see your father, my dear brother." Henry nodded to the black suit.
The black suit grabbed Arnold's arm.
"Asshole, what are you doing?" Arnold looked crazy.
"I'm sorry, sir -" The black suit apologized, and his hands were not polite at all. He picked up Arnold and walked out.
"Asshole, let me go - I am the first heir to the Matilda family -" Arnold yelled crazily, his voice fading away.
Henry rubbed his forehead and felt like he had a severe headache. The whole family was embarrassed by having such a great thing on the stall.
"Sam, everything is as usual, Locke, come with me." Henry didn't want to stay here for a minute, feeling that everyone's eyes were mocking.
Rock nodded to Sam and followed Henry to see the mayor.
Along the way, neither of them was in the mood to talk. Even if a person like Arnold had the ability to make everyone around him upset, he was also confident and knew that no matter how hard he tried, neither Henry nor Baron Matilda would really hurt him.
.
But he obviously ignored that in addition to enduring it, Baron Matilda could also throw him back to London, out of sight and out of mind. If he has the ability, let him go back to London and have a hard time.
Mr. Mayor was not influenced by Arnold, and his attitude towards Roque was quite satisfactory. There was no special enthusiasm or obvious neglect. He did not receive Roque in a formal place like the office, but on the small balcony on the second floor.
Up.
"Director Locke, I heard from Henry that you rebuilt Oak Town in Cape Town, so what suggestions do you have for Johannesburg?" Philip didn't even mention gold mines, but talked about city construction.
"Sorry, Mr. Mayor, Johannesburg is really too big for Oak Town. My experience may not be appropriate in Johannesburg." If Rock doesn't take up the topic, how to build Johannesburg is a matter for Philip, the mayor.
It's okay, Rock.
"Don't worry, it's just a casual chat. You definitely don't want Johannesburg to continue to be so dilapidated, with shantytowns, sewers, rats - who would have thought that gold is rich here." Philip is obviously also an idealist.
It’s not difficult to achieve results in Johannesburg, which is on the verge of prosperity.
"Mr. Mayor, if it's just urban construction, it's really simple. Let professional people do it. Christian's company has professional urban planners. The question is whether it is necessary to do this.
The war is not over yet, and the future of Johannesburg is still unclear. If the Boers come back after the war, everything we are doing now will be meaningless." Rock didn't talk in circles. Everyone was drunk. I felt very bad when I was alone.
Wealth and prosperity may all be wiped out in the future. Rock wants to use a baton to wake up Philip, Alfred Milner, and Kitchener.
"Locke, it's not that serious." Philip didn't quite believe in Locke's judgment.
To be honest, if Rock didn't know the history of South Africa, then Rock wouldn't believe that just five years after the war ended, the Boers made a comeback and regained control of South Africa's politics.
"Sorry, Mr. Mayor, I don't agree with you. If we all think so, then the situation will be that serious." Rock is not optimistic. The biggest problem in Transvaal is that there are too few British-Americans, although it seems
There are not many Boers, but there are many Boer miners in the mines. Once those Boer miners have the right to vote, they can easily take away the leadership of the government.
Regarding this issue, both Rock and Philip were helpless. For example, De Beers Unified Mining Company employed thousands of Boer miners. For the benefit of De Beers Unified Mining Company, Cecil Rhodes Jr. would definitely not agree to transfer those
The miners were exiled, and the city government could not force De Beers to unify the mining company.
The total number of Boer miners in Johannesburg is estimated to be tens of thousands. This is a group that must be taken seriously. Although the total number of miners in Johannesburg exceeds 100,000, most of them are Zulu people who do not have the right to vote. As white people, Boer miners
People will definitely have the right to vote after the war. By then, how can the few British people in the Transvaal compete with the huge number of Boers?
"Locke, let's put this issue aside for now. It won't be too late to deal with it after the outcome of the negotiations." Philip still has the arrogance of a British aristocrat and will not shed tears until he sees the coffin.
Maybe, Philip will still think that Roque is an alarmist, using the banner of democratic government to seek benefits for the resettlement of Chinese Americans.
