Life is made up of countless accidents. When optimistic people look at life, there are opportunities everywhere, while when pessimistic people look at life, there is despair everywhere.
The reactivation of abandoned gold mines and the discovery of new gold mines can actually be regarded as accidents. It is said that it is very rare for this kind of situation to happen continuously.
But "rare" does not mean that it does not exist. It is also a small probability event for a house to be hit by a meteorite. However, someone's house was hit by meteorites five times in a row. This kind of thing cannot be explained at all.
If the same thing happened to Rock, then the only explanation would be "the chosen one" or "the halo of the protagonist".
Of course Harry and Henry would definitely not think so.
"What you mean is that you bought two farms. There was an abandoned gold mine on one of the farms. It turned out that the gold mine was still valuable for mining, while on the other farm, a new gold mine was directly discovered.
Is that so?" Henry Alsop said this in a teasing tone, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Yes, that's it." Rock didn't laugh. This is the fact. There is nothing funny. People who lose money buying lottery tickets insist that the lottery is a scam, but there is still an endless stream of people buying lottery tickets every day.
"Do you think we will believe it? Don't take us for fools!" Henry Alsop stopped laughing and looked down at Rock fiercely.
"No one thinks you are a fool. If you don't believe it, ask Director Henry." Rock was not in a hurry. The more angry Henry Alsop became, the more calm Rock became.
This is the meaning of Henry's offer to buy the farm. Roque has no title and is of Chinese descent. Although he holds a high position, he is still not worth mentioning in front of the nobles.
Henry is different. Backed by the Matilda family, Henry has enough confidence to compete with anyone. If Harry and Henry want to deal with Henry from the Matilda family like Roark, then they must consider Lord Matilda's
Counterattack.
"Director Locke, we will verify the authenticity of your words. Before drawing a conclusion, please do not leave Johannesburg and cooperate with our investigation at any time." Baron Mahanless did not insist on having his own way.
"Okay." Roque is not in a hurry. Without the cooperation of the police station, the investigation team wants to verify?
Go ahead and dream, this is not London.
Baron Mahanlath really didn't expect that Roark would be so difficult to deal with.
Watching Roark leave the office, Baron Mahanless had a solemn expression.
"Father, why don't you lock him up? If he goes back now, he will destroy the evidence and lock him up. Then I will lead people to search this guy's office and his gold mine. This guy must be lying." Rock
As soon as he left, Henry Alsop couldn't wait.
"What qualifications do you have to search the office of a police chief?" Baron Mahanless said with an ugly expression.
"Uh, qualifications -" Henry Alsop then remembered this question.
"This is the vulnerable police chief you said? This is the empire bug you said is full of loopholes? This is the despicable yellow man you said has no knowledge? Stupid!" Baron Mahanlath really didn't expect that Rock would actually
It’s so difficult, and——
His own son is so unreliable.
"This yellow man is indeed a moth——" Henry Alsop felt that he had been misunderstood.
"Okay, even if this yellow man is a moth, how can you prove it?" Baron Mahanless didn't care about Roark, he only cared about letting his son learn a lesson.
"We can search his office -" Henry Alsop didn't think about this problem at all. He probably thought that if he called Roark over and bluffed, Roark would be captured.
"Stupid! Let's not talk about whether you are qualified to search the office of a police chief. What if you can't find the so-called criminal evidence?" Baron Mahanlath pressed forward step by step.
"How is it possible that we can't find it? There must be evidence of his crime in that yellow man's office." Henry Alsop refused to admit defeat.
"What if not?" Baron Mahanless would not be reckless.
"——" Henry Alsop looked confused, he had never thought about this problem at all.
"If there is no evidence, then we will search the Locke Gold Mine." Henry Alsop finally found a breakthrough.
"What if no evidence is found in the Rock Gold Mine? Then the next step is to search Baron Matilda's official residence?" Baron Mahanless's face was full of disappointment, his family was unfortunate——
"It is impossible for a baron to protect a yellow man." Henry Alsop was lost.
"Wake up, the yellow man you are talking about is the police chief of Johannesburg. If you want to live in Johannesburg, you must give a police chief enough respect, whether you like him or not. What's more, this police chief also
Doing business in partnership with the Baron, being as close as brothers to the Baron's son, and having a close relationship with the Baron's daughter——" Baron Mahanless continued to put pressure.
"Stop talking——" Henry Alsop screamed in pain.
"Go back and reflect. If you don't understand, then go back to Mahanlath and never come out." Baron Mahanlai did not leave any room for Henry Alsop. Mahanlai was Mahanlai.
The fiefdom of Baron Si, an unknown town, without upper-class drinking parties and charming dancing girls, for Henry Alsop, Mahanlais is almost like a prison.
"No!" Henry Alsop slammed the door fiercely and left.
Back at the police station, Rock picked up the phone and called Cecil Rhodes Jr.
"They are investigating you?" Cecil Rhodes Jr. came to mind, and Rock actually became the target of the investigation.
"Yes, just now Baron Mahanless called me over and interrogated me for a long time. I thought he would lock me up." Roque also didn't expect that he would pass the test so easily.
"Haha, Baron Mahanless is not an ignorant young man. He will not arrest a police chief for no reason. He does not have the power." Cecil Rhodes Jr. did not let Baron Mahanless go.
In my mind, the results of the investigation into Cecil Rhodes during this period showed that the outbreak of the Second Boer War had nothing to do with Cecil Rhodes.
In other words, Cecil Rhodes is not responsible for the Second Boer War.
In fact, this result was already destined. With the power of Cecil Rhodes in Johannesburg, it would be damning if the investigation team could come up with the results. The real purpose of the Congress setting up the investigation team was not to substantiate the case.
The crime of Seal Rhodes was to give a public gesture.
A gesture of really working hard for it.
As for the result——
Not important, really not important.
"There is a German priest detained in the police station. Do you know about this?" Rock didn't bother much. It was enough that little Cecil Rhodes knew how serious Rock's favor was.
"Don't worry, let him go when the time is right, and then I will handle it." Cecil Rhodes Jr. is not afraid of William II. If Cecil Rhodes Jr. is willing, Cecil Rhodes Jr. will even
Can launch a war against German Southwest Africa.
Of course, Cecil Rhodes Jr. just has power. In fact, as long as Cecil Rhodes Jr. is not crazy, he will not do this.
"We'll talk about it after the investigation team leaves." Rock didn't want to cause any complications.
"Baron Mahanless is unlikely to leave. He may stay in Pretoria to serve as Lieutenant Governor of the Transvaal." Cecil Rhodes Jr. provided a new message, and his message was indeed that of Biro
Be more informed.
Rock felt a little depressed. The Transvaal and all the four Cape colonies felt like they were almost a garbage dump, no matter what kind of goods they could get their hands on.
After hanging up the phone, Rock was in a bad mood and simply left the police station and headed to the Rock Gold Mine.
Everything is normal in the gold mine. Because of the need to control production, not all workers need to go down the mine. There are currently five thousand workers in the Locke Gold Mine. Only about a thousand people go down the mine in each shift. There are three shifts a day. The workers can get the maximum rest, but
The output of the gold mine has increased instead of decreasing, with the daily output exceeding one thousand ounces.
With such a high output, it may be the most productive gold mine in Johannesburg. It is impossible to sell all of it. According to Rock's instructions, Buck only sold the gold that can be used for the normal operation of the gold mine, and the rest of the gold was hidden in the basement.
ri.
In order to ensure the safety of the gold mine, Tie Gou's security team has increased to 500 people, of which 300 are permanent members and the remaining 200 are rotated every other month. Rock's ultimate goal is to make everyone in the gold mine
All miners can receive a certain degree of military training.
In his spare time, Buck would organize workers who were not required to work in the mines to develop the farms around the gold mines, clear land, plant trees, build roads, build houses, repair canals, etc. As long as you are willing to look for it, there is always endless work to do. The results are of course huge. There are no less than 10,000 Ziwei trees inside and outside Ziwei Town. Around Ziwei Town, there are two sides of the road from Locke Gold Mine to Ziwei Town, and on both sides of the road from Ziwei Town to Johannesburg.
, are all planted with bigster trees. By October and November, the bigster trees will enter the flowering period, and then the bigwig town will live up to its name.
"We have developed nearly 100,000 acres of land around the gold mine. The suggestion given by Professor Douglas is that alfalfa and potatoes can be planted, but Professor Douglas is not sure how much the yield will be, so we still need to verify. In this regard, Holly has already
Some results have been achieved——" Buck accompanied Rock to inspect the farm, and Holly was also there.
"Potatoes haven't been planted yet, but alfalfa can definitely be grown. I planted 60 acres of alfalfa and raised nearly 400 merino sheep and more than 100 shorthorn cattle. On average, one acre of alfalfa can raise 25 sheep, or
There are 5 Angus cows, and there is too much alfalfa to eat now. I am planning to expand the scale of breeding. By this time next year, the scale will be almost doubled-" Holly is now full of confidence. No one expected it before.
