When the smoke ignited again, Rock suddenly realized a problem. There was no lighter in this era.
Of course it's not that kind of gas lighter. Gas lighters use flammable gases. The current technology has not reached that level. Rock is referring to the kerosene lighter that uses flint. This kind of lighter has no technical content. It is a gear.
With a few pieces of flint and a wick soaked in kerosene, Rock could make it himself if he wanted to.
"Lighter? What is that? Aren't matches very convenient?" Ada understands men's physiological needs very well, but not other aspects.
"Matches will get wet, but lighters will not. Moreover, lighters are easy to carry and can be used with one hand. If they are beautifully made, they may even become men's decorations, just like pocket watches." Rock is very good at exploring the peripheral value of a product.
, this is a habit developed when doing foreign trade.
"Sounds good, are you going to do it as a business?" Ada probably understood the purpose of the lighter, but she didn't take it seriously.
"No, I didn't do it, and I can't do it. It's just an idea. If you are interested, then you can find someone to study it. For you, a lighter may be useless, but for - those soldiers on the front line
"A lighter is very useful. Don't you have some connections in the Government House? Think about how many soldiers there are in the Cape now." Roque only provided ideas and did not involve business operations. He had done enough business in his previous life. In this life, Roque wants to
Chasing power.
As the richest woman in Cape Town, Ada is not a fool. After thinking for a moment, Ada immediately saw the prospect of lighters. Indeed, as Rock said, the soldiers on the front line need lighters the most. The key is that this is a lighter.
It is a one-man business and no one in the world produces lighters.
"I'll find someone to try tomorrow. If I can make money, it belongs to both of us." Ada was very happy and had a new understanding of Roque.
Then - take a closer look.

The captain of the commando team is highly equipped with inspectors, which also means that the scale of the commando team must be expanded. In this regard, Rock has no decision-making power, and even Henry has no decision-making power. The power lies in the hands of Police Chief August Russell. Henry can only propose
The suggestion, whether to adopt it or not, was August Russell's question.
After returning to work, Rock has two new colleagues, one is a British man named Stanley, and the other is an Indian named Rahul. They both have the police rank of sergeant. Like Rock, they are each responsible for a number of people.
The waiting team.
Among the three teams, Rock's team is the largest, with 18 people. This team is also the most combat-effective. Except for a Boer police officer named Patrick, the others are all Chinese.
"I thought you would select all Chinese." Henry was a little surprised. Rock didn't like Indian police and Boer police. This was no secret. Rock never concealed this in front of Henry.
"If the Boers and Indians do well, I certainly won't ignore them." Rock himself was a victim of the glass ceiling and was certainly opposed to this phenomenon.
"Sir Roberts is going to launch a new attack on the Boers. The army has begun to move out of Cape Town in batches and rush to the front line. The commando team is going to send two detachments to the dock and the train station. Which one do you choose?" Henry asked Roque to give priority.
It doesn’t matter if Ke doesn’t want to choose, Stanley and Rahul are each responsible for a direction.
After being promoted to inspector, Henry became a popular figure in front of August Russell. A few days ago, August Russell took Henry with him when he went to meet the Governor and gave Henry a way to impress him in front of the Governor.
opportunity, so Henry knew a lot of information that Rock didn't know.
"Do you still have to choose? Of course it's the dock." Rock chose the dock without hesitation. Since there is no chance of promotion in a short time, he might as well go to the dock to find some money.
If Roark wants to be promoted, then Roark must stay in the police station and stay with the leader to get opportunities. But now it is obvious that Roark has touched the glass ceiling, so he needs some opportunities to be promoted, unless Roark can keep his face down.
Let Ada run the relationship.
Can Roark be so embarrassed?
cannot!
So Rock simply chose a dock with more lucrative jobs. Even if he couldn't find a promotion opportunity in a short period of time, he still had to prepare for promotion first.
"Smart choice, don't worry, I'm in the bureau." What Henry is most worried about is that Roark will collapse. Not everyone can withstand such a blow. Henry asked himself, if Roark was replaced by himself, then he would definitely
Disheartened.
"It doesn't matter, I'll wait for the day when you become the chief of police." Rock won't be disheartened. This blow is nothing. When Rock was doing business in his previous life, he was already hardened by the blows he received.
"By the way, there is good news. Mr. Director sent a telegram to the Huayong Camp, requesting to hire more Huayong to come to Cape, as well as the cooks you want." Henry blinked, as if he had just thought
Looks the same.
This is indeed good news. Rock really couldn't stand Anna's cooking skills, so he kept talking to Henry that he wanted a good cook.
Henry didn't feel that Anna's cooking skills were that bad, but he was very curious about the Chinese chef described by Rock, so when he suggested hiring more Hua Yong, Henry asked to hire two to
Three Chinese chefs, now Henry is very popular, August Russell adopted them all.
This is the advantage of Rock's praise of Henry. If Rock puts forward the same suggestion, even if the suggestion is correct, August Russell will consider it. But if Henry puts it forward, August Russell will consider it.
I won’t think too much about it. After all, the quality of the Chinese policemen is obvious to all. On the day of the banquet, when Rock reminded everyone that the rebels had bombs on them, everyone else was retreating. Only the Chinese policemen were brave enough to pounce on them. Many people in that scene were shocked.
deep impression.
"This is indeed good news, thank you!" Rock thanked him solemnly, with an attitude that Henry was not used to.
If you're not used to it, just get used to it. With the increase in the number of Chinese police, many people will not be used to it, but they will eventually have to learn to adapt, just like the Chinese police are also trying to adapt to Cape Town.
"Boss, let's go to the pier. Can we start work at night?" Luo Ke is responsible for the security of the pier. The most excited person is Luo Yi. This guy recently caught Dirang and drilled him hard whenever he had time. It is said that Dirang already has
The heat is 178%.
It was enough to fool those foreign devils on the dock. In the past, Rock was worried that setting up a trap would affect the reputation of the Chinese police. Now there is no need to worry. Youdi let the Indian attract firepower and no one would notice the crowd of onlookers.
