Cody Priestley really thought about giving part of the profits from the gold mine to Rock or Stoudemire in exchange for Rock or Stoudemire's protection.
This is not without precedent. Everyone knows that the gold mines in Johannesburg are very profitable. How many local nobles and big capital are eyeing the "lonely" mines? In order to maintain their own wealth, they must find a powerful one for themselves.
The backer.
De Beers Consolidated Mining Company owns nearly one-third of the gold mines in Johannesburg, most of which comes from this.
"Cody, I think you have misunderstood. We are not trying to take anything away from you. After accepting the money, the gold mine is still yours. We will not interfere with the operation of the gold mine. Nothing has changed."
Adam Stephen takes a step back and becomes a shareholder of Priestley Gold Mine first, and then he can do other things slowly.
"Impossible, Mr. Stephen, if you really want to buy it, fine, one million, one million pounds, the gold mine is yours." Cody Priestley also had his own abacus, one million pounds
It is roughly the gross profit of the Priestley gold mine for two years. If Arnold and Adam Stephen really come up with this money, then Cody Priestley can also sell the gold mine to them.
One million pounds is a huge amount of money in this era. You can buy a huge property in any country in the world. Cody Priestley is not short of money, but it involves his own dignity, even if he has to
If the gold mine is handed over, Cody Priestley also needs to get enough benefits.
"Haha, Cody, I'm afraid you don't know that they can't even get out the one hundred thousand pounds they promised before, not to mention one million pounds." Stoudemire laughed and walked in, giving a smile.
Ran sat opposite Adam Stephen: "I'm sorry, Mr. Steven Hewlett just informed Rand Bank that he wants to freeze your account in Rand Bank. For the sake of customer safety, Rand Bank did not provide and
Regarding your relevant information, if I were you, I wouldn’t waste my precious time dwelling on this issue.”
Stoudemire was also a shareholder of Rand Bank, and with this move, Arnold and Adam Stephen were completely wiped out.
Although Arnold and Adam Stephen appear to be very prosperous on the surface, in fact, compared with the mine owners in Johannesburg, these two guys are poor people. They can't come up with 100,000 pounds. They were planning to buy the Priestley Gold Mine.
The money was withdrawn by Adam Stephen from his account in charge of the gold mine. Strictly speaking, the money was stolen.
Steven Hewlett is the successor of Adam Stephen. When the new official takes office, he must take stock of the assets left by his predecessor. Then he discovers that the money has disappeared, and then the Rand Bank takes action.
Rand Bank adheres to the principle of "keeping depositors' confidentiality". This is not just talk. Even if Adam Stephen steals money, Rand Bank will not reveal Adam Stephen's secrets. This may seem unethical, but it protects it to the greatest extent.
Only by protecting the interests of depositors can we win the trust of depositors.
"Disgusting thieves, you are so disgusting!" Cody Priestley was furious. These were actually two scammers with nothing to show for it. Fortunately, he was not fooled.
Against Cody Priestley, Arnold and Adam Stephan can intimidate and lure, but facing Stoudemire, Arnold and Adam Stephan can do nothing.
After listening to Stoudemire's words, Adam Stephen's face turned ugly. He didn't bother and left immediately with Arnold.
If you can't leave, Stoudemire can find Adam Stephan, and of course Steven Hewlett can also find him.
"Hello Mr. Stephen, Your Highness asked me to say hello to you -" Steven Hewlett said surprisingly, Your Highness, which means that the financial backer behind Adam Stephen may be a certain prince or princess.
No wonder this guy is confident.
Adam Stephen didn't have the courage to resist at all. Without even looking at Arnold, he followed Steven Hewlett and left in the carriage.
Arnold was left stunned.
Stoudemire paid no attention to Arnold's interest and didn't even go out to watch the fun. He sat on a chair and looked at Cody Priestley with a reserved smile.
Of course Cody Priestley knew what it meant. After thinking for a while, Cody Priestley made up his mind: "Mr. Rhodes, if possible, Priestley Gold Mine would also like to join De Beer."
Sri Lanka Unified Mining Company——"
This is the right attitude. Stoudemire laughed and stood up, giving Cody Priestley a warm hug: "Don't worry Cody, join De Beers Unified Mining Company, I can guarantee you will never do it again."
People dare to cause trouble for you."
With Stoudemire having such confidence, it’s hard to say how Cody Priestley feels.
Joining De Beers Unified Mining Company will indeed gain the protection of Stoudemire, but on the other hand, Cody Priestley will also lose his autonomy. In the future, the operation of Priestley Gold Mine will be subject to
As the commander of De Beers Unified Mining Company, every month, Cody Priestley also has to hand over part of the profits from the gold mine to De Beers Unified Mining Company. It is nominally a management fee, but in fact it is protection fee.<
/p>
Arnold will never be able to learn from the protection money they collect.
Looking back, Rock was also very envious.
"Who made you refuse to come forward? If you are willing to come forward, then the Priestley Gold Mine will now be part of the Rock Gold Mine. Maybe in a few years, you can also form a De Beers Unified Mining Company." Stoudemire
Although he seems careless, what he says has deep meaning.
"Then -" Rock didn't care at all. For Rock, there were many ways to make money, and there was no need to compete with Stoudemire.
Xiao Si was so smart that he immediately understood what Rock meant. He smiled and toasted to Rock: "I understand, thank you!"
I really want to thank you.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Johannesburg can be big or small. There can only be one giant like De Beers Unified Mining Company in Johannesburg. If Roark also wants to set up a company like De Beers Unified Mining Company, then Roark will
The interests of Ke and Stoudemire will directly conflict.
Rock doesn't want this incident to affect his relationship with Stoudemire. In the future, Nyasaland and Rhodesia will maintain a good relationship and stay together for warmth. If this incident affects the relationship between Rock and Stoudemire,
If it breaks, then the gain outweighs the loss.
In the evening, Rock invited Xiao Si to dinner at his home in Ziwei Town. Henry also rushed back from Pretoria and came over with Owen to join in the fun.
Phyllis's due date is coming soon, and Rock has been staying in Ziwei Town during this time. Rock has prepared a delivery room for Phyllis at home, with all the equipment and instruments. Dr. Kay Mallory brought
Several of her students have already moved into Rock's home and are ready to deliver Phyllis's baby at any time.
The center of the conversation between Rock and the others is the child who is about to be born.
"There is no doubt that I want to be the child's godfather. I have prepared a gift for the child's birth. Unlike some stingy people who give gifts carelessly, I have prepared a 10,000-acre farm in Pretoria.
Farm, if it’s not enough, I can add more.” Henry did his part, Rock is Paula’s godfather, and it’s normal for Henry to be the godfather of Rock’s child now.
Owen was a little envious, but said nothing. Among the few people, Roque and Henry had the deepest relationship. Even though Henry was always in Pretoria, it did not affect the relationship with Roque.
Stoudemire is not in a hurry. Henry and Irving actually know about Arthur's existence, but they both have a tacit understanding not to mention it, so Stoudemire has a better choice.
Because of Rock, Stoudemire was exposed to a lot of traditional Chinese culture and knew the significance of the eldest son to the Chinese.
Although the eldest son is still different from the eldest son, Arthur is different. With a mother like Ada, Arthur will sooner or later be able to walk into the Rock family openly.
"You can't imagine the gift I prepared for Paula. What's so rare about the farm? If you want it, I'll give Paula all the farms in Rhodesia, as long as you don't regret it." Rock doesn't like farms.
, once Rock was the largest landowner in the Transvaal, this title has now been given to Henry.
Most of the farms in Rock's hands were sold and distributed to the Chinese in Johannesburg.
Henry has always followed Roark's lead. When Roark bought a farm in Johannesburg, Henry was also bargain hunting in Pretoria. As a result, 60% of the farms around Pretoria belonged to Henry, so this guy
He is now the largest landowner in the Transvaal.
Don’t forget, Fawalt is still Henry’s fief. When London gave Fawalt to Henry, Fawalt was still a barren land. Now Fawalt’s heavy industry has become Rock’s most powerful help in building Nyasaland.
Propellant.
"What are you preparing for Paula?" Henry certainly cares about his daughter.
"I won't tell you——" Rock kept silent.
"Henry, Locke is lying to you. He has not prepared anything." Owen has had too much contact with Locke during this period and knows his habits very well.
"Asshole, how could poor Paula have such a godfather!" Henry regretted it.
"Seriously, the Transvaal will fully implement the representative democratic system next year. Do you have any ideas?" Rock changed the subject and did not dwell on the issue of gifts.
According to the process of the democratic representative system, Adelaide's term will expire at the end of next year. By then, the Transvaal will fully implement the democratic representative system. The Liberal Party will definitely make a big move next year. The four people here are members of the Liberal Party.
Core.
"There is nothing to say, the Liberal Party will definitely win the final victory." Irving vowed that the Speaker of the Johannesburg Parliament will not have the same glory as the Speaker of the Transvaal Parliament.
"Lord, I'm sorry to interrupt you. Madam has been sent to the delivery room -" Zach's sister Bella hurried over to report, and Rock's mind immediately went blank.
