Although high salary is important, not everyone will be impressed by high salary. For those senior talents with stable jobs in Europe and relatively good income, even if Johannesburg offers high salary, they are still unwilling to come to Johannesburg. Rock can
Most of the senior talents invited come from economically backward countries such as Germany and Russia. Not to mention the level of these people, there are also big problems in language communication.
Most of the students in the medical school are nurses from Ziwei Hospital. They already have a certain foundation and have worked in Ziwei Hospital for at least one year, so they learn relatively quickly.
There are also some students from Ziwei Public School. The education system in this era is not perfect. Generally, after graduating from high school, you are eligible to apply for university. Johannesburg has not yet had time to implement the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination system. If you want to enter medical school, you must rely on recommendation.
Other than that, the main thing is to apply by yourself.
Crossing the square, directly opposite is the office building of the medical school.
When Rock built this office building, he deliberately chose red bricks produced locally in Johannesburg. This is of course symbolic. There are six famous red brick universities in the UK, which are the most famous in England besides the famous schools in the Golden Triangle.
Famous, the top old world famous school.
The six universities are: University of Birmingham, University of Manchester, University of Sheffield, University of Leeds, University of Bristol and University of Liverpool.
Just by looking at the names, you can tell that there are six cities in each city. Together with the famous schools in the Golden Triangle, they form the spire of the British education system.
Compared with the UK, southern Africa is really like a cultural desert. There are many famous schools in the UK, which cultivate a large number of talents for the UK every year.
There are very few institutions of higher learning in southern Africa. The British government does not want there to be institutions of higher learning in southern Africa. If students from southern Africa want to receive higher education, they will have to go to the UK. In this way, students will most likely stay in the country after graduation.
The British Isles and will not return to southern Africa.
If things go on like this, the backward situation in southern Africa will never be improved. For Ade and Philip, this situation is acceptable, but for Roque, it is not.
Rock cannot accept this situation in any case. Medical school is just the beginning. Next, Rock will invest in a comprehensive university in Nyasaland, which is the real cradle of talents in Nyasaland.
Ade and Phillip didn't know Roque's ideals, but after seeing this office building built with red bricks, Ade and Phillip were a little touched.
As Transvaal officials, of course they also hope that the Transvaal will develop better, so that whether they stay in office in the future or return to the British mainland, this is their political achievement and will be remembered forever.
Some people pursue the idea of benefiting one party by serving as an official, and some people just muddle along and wait for death. Philip's attitude is sometimes a bit negative, but Adelaide's attitude has always been more serious. After the Boer War, Adelaide also used his actual actions to
, indeed restored peace in the Transvaal and Orange. Even those Boers who still resisted the British government had to admit Ade's role in this.
The castle-style dark red office building has a simple shape, which complements the arched white marble on the window tops. All the windows are surprisingly high in proportion. The fifteen-meter-high office building only has two floors, and each floor is only seven meters high.
It is about eight meters tall. The main building in the center is over twenty meters tall. There is a clock tower in the distance that is over forty meters tall. All the roofs are oval steel frame structures. In order to fully transmit light, the roofs are decorated with a large amount of glass.
, there are various sculptures in the center and edge of the roof, which were carved by workers from Europe and Chinese workers together.
"It's so spectacular. It was built within one year?" Ade couldn't believe it.
"To be exact, it's only seven months." Rock was still proud. Although the seven-month construction period was inseparable from the hard work of Zulu workers, there was no need to emphasize this point.
"It started in April and ended in October, which means that it only took you half a year to build this medical school. It has been three years since my official residence was built, but it is still far away from completion." Ade couldn't help but sigh.
, this contrast is indeed too stark.
Ade still lives in the Palace of Justice.
Roque had previously suggested that Christian should be given the task of building the official residence.
However, because of Christian's status and the Zulu workers under Christian's command, Ade, after careful consideration, handed over the job to a local British construction company.
It is a long distance from the UK to Pretoria. Not to mention the work attitude and efficiency of workers in the UK, first of all, time is not guaranteed.
The status of construction workers during this period in the UK was not very high, and they were generally at the bottom of society. However, when they arrived in Pretoria, those construction workers also quickly entered the colonial state. The work progress was appallingly slow and required all kinds of requirements.
All kinds of benefits, Ade is now regretful.
"Nearly 4,000 workers were used to build this medical school. The dry season in Johannesburg is still too short, so the construction period is a bit rushed. Now the medical school has not been fully completed. There are still some supporting facilities and greening will be needed next.
"It will probably take a few months to complete it all." Rock didn't dare to irritate Ade too much. Just behind this office building, there were hundreds of workers working hard.
Walking into the office building, the floor is all marble, the walls are all wallpapered, and there is a huge crystal lamp under the ceiling. This is electric, cleaner and brighter. Even the Johannesburg city government does not have such luxury.
Sitting down in the conference room on the second floor, Douglas was responsible for introducing Ade and Phillip.
"The medical school covers an area of 1,500 acres. In addition to the current buildings, the medical school will also set up laboratories and medicinal gardens for traditional Chinese medicine research in the future. The medical school now has more than a dozen experts in traditional Chinese medicine. Although they do not have academic qualifications
, but there is no doubt about my strength. I have been feeling a little uncomfortable in my shoulders and neck. As a result, Mr. Su Xian pulled a cupping cup on me a few days ago. Cupping cup is the pronunciation of it. Sorry, my pronunciation is not standard, but
The effect is great, I am now more relaxed than ever -" Douglas wished he could take off his shirt now to prove what a great invention cupping is.
"We don't have enough students now, and this is related to the quality of the students. Many people know that medical schools have begun to recruit students. They don't even know how to write their names, so they want to come to medical schools to learn medical skills. We would rather have a shortage than a surplus. Even one student
No, we cannot allow such people to enter medical school, but the situation will always change. In a few years, there will be graduates from Ziwei Public School and public middle schools, and then the medical school will enter the normal development mode. Now
The most important thing is the teaching staff. We have top-notch resources and good research projects, all of which are promising. However, we lack basic teaching staff. We cannot let top experts like Abu teach basic courses. That would be unfair to people like Abu.
An insult to top talent." Douglas also seized the opportunity to make a request. It was rare that the chief officials from Transvaal and Johannesburg were here, so we must seize the time.
Adelaide and Philip also have a headache. The entire southern Africa is trying to attract immigrants, but the results are not very good. This is not because Adelaide is incompetent, but because Southern Africa lacks enough attraction.
Therefore, neither Adelaide nor Philippe expressed their opinions on the spot. After the opening ceremony, Adelaide returned to Pretoria, and the next day Philippe called Roque to the official residence.
"I heard that you built a university town in Nyasaland?" Philip seemed casual, but the question he asked was very sensitive.
"It's not a university town. It's just a rumor. I built a vocational college in Malombe Lake. It mainly trains agricultural technicians and skilled workers. The current economic pillar of Nyasaland is agriculture." Roque did not deny that the sun
There is nothing new down there. There is such a large area of buildings next to Malombe Lake, and Rock can’t hide it even if he wants to.
"Are they just agricultural technicians and skilled workers?" Philip pressed forward step by step.
"Of course it's more than that. Now is just the beginning. As you saw yesterday, there will be more and more institutions of higher learning in southern Africa in the future, so that we can cultivate our own talents. London's attitude towards the Transvaal is a bit ambiguous. In two years, the Transvaal will
After Swarovski implements the democratic representative system, the future is not clear enough, so we must make preparations early." Roque and Philip are now in a relationship with son-in-law, and they can say a lot openly.
"Unclear? How do you say that?" Philip was a little surprised. This was not consistent with what Roque said before.
Rock has always emphasized that autonomy in the Transvaal and even southern Africa is the general trend. It is for this reason that Adelaide agreed to introduce a large number of Chinese and reduce the proportion of Boers in the total population of southern Africa. p>
Rock's reason is that after the democratic representative system is implemented, the proportion of Chinese and British in the Transvaal will be enough to suppress the Boers, so that the Transvaal government will be firmly in the hands of the British.
Now Roark said that the future of the Transvaal was unclear, which made Philip a little confused.
"Cape, the Cape election, the Progressive Party is in a mess now. They are fighting for power and even attacking each other. I used to think that the Progressive Party could easily win the election, but now it seems that is not necessarily the case. I asked Henry to think about a question seriously a few days ago.
"Whether Henry is willing to stay in the Transvaal or hopes to return to his homeland after making enough money is a very important question." Rock began to enter the second stage, forcing Adelaide, Philip, and Henry to
Colonial officials made choices between the colonies and the mainland.
It's impossible not to make a choice. The British people in the Cape are now in disarray. The situation in the Transvaal seems to be good, but there are also hidden dangers, and those hidden dangers must be eliminated as soon as possible.
