Rock and Aiden brought back Dohua workers from Kimberley. Because the Rhodesian police accidentally took some credit from Rock, Aiden generously allowed Rock to take all the Chinese workers away.

With so many people, they must not be able to all be placed in the gold mine. Fortunately, the reservoir has started construction, and Rock sent all the Chinese workers to the construction site. The Chinese workers' wages and resettlement fees are the newly established Crocodile Company.

The manager of Crocodile Company is Adrian Nell, who was jointly determined by Rock and Cecil Rhodes Jr.

Before this, Adrian Nell served as senior manager of South Africa. This decision was more beneficial to Cecil Rhodes Jr., but Rock had no better proposal and had to choose Adrian.

It’s still insufficient talent. If Rock had ten or eight college students in his hands, he would not have given up these important positions.

Now, Rock only has one Buck under his command, and Rock needs Buck to be the leader of Ziwei Town and Rock Gold Mine, so the importance of Crocodile Company can only be ranked back.

However, Rock did not completely let go of Crocodile Company. Although the general manager of Cecil Rhodes Jr. was under the command of Cecil Rhodes Jr., the financial director of Cecil Rhodes was Scarlett appointed by Rock. Cecil Rhodes Jr. did not object to this appointment.

This is a very good start, at least Rock and Cecil Rhodes Jr. are willing to consider the problem from the other side's perspective.

More than 10,000 workers moved into the construction site at the same time, and the pressure on Crocodile Company is increasing day by day. Caleb Meg is the chief engineer of the reservoir, and George Eugene is the senior consultant of the reservoir. The number of technicians is still insufficient. Galeb and George's students are not enough. Douglas continues to send telegrams to the UK, hoping to hire more college students.

Amidst surprise and doubt, the Crocodile Reservoir finally started construction.

In view of the natural conditions of the Crocodile River, Gale Meg designed a reservoir with a volume of 50 million cubic meters. It takes eighteen months to fill the reservoir with water, which also leaves enough time for construction.

Not only is there enough time to build the reservoir, but also enough time to build the hydropower station. Douglas has contacted the American Westinghouse Company. Westinghouse is very happy to sell the motor equipment that has been used on the Niagara Hydropower Station, and promised to send technicians to Johannesburg to guide the installation.

Rock actually wanted Nikola Tesla to come, but Nikola Tesla is facing lawsuits from a big shot due to some patent disputes, so Nikola Tesla cannot leave the United States.

If you can't come, you can't come. Rock didn't expect that Johannesburg could attract this great god now. Johannesburg had no conditions to let Nikola Tesla study his black technologies. However, Rock still found a way to contact Nikola Tesla. Although Johannesburg could not attract Nikola Tesla, Rock could carry gold to buy Nikola Tesla's research results. Whether Nikola Tesla came to Johannesburg or not, the final result would be the same.

Thanks to free trade during this period, the United States has no bottom line for technological output. As long as it has money, it can buy anything it wants in the United States.

Of course, there is a reason for free trade during this period.

For example, the United States, which is calling for "open doors" all day long, supports free trade because the United States wants to seize the global market under the banner of "free trade", so the United States opposes any form of "trade barriers" and "technical barriers".

After the United States seizes the global market under the banner of "free trade", the United States will begin to take the initiative to capture land. At that time, the United States will punish anyone who wants to sanction. For the sake of interests, the original allies can turn against each other instantly, and the signed agreement can be torn up directly. The most shameless country in the world is the United States.

In fact, the shamelessness of the United States is traditional. Thinking about the image of Americans in the hearts of the British, you can tell why Americans have this virtue. This country was originally composed of thieves, robbers, homeless people, and dilapidated people. Once these people get rich, they can imagine how ugly they look.

Rock did not think about what the United States would look like in the future. At least the "free trade" advocated by the United States during this period was beneficial to Rock. Johannesburg was not short of money, but lacked vision and down-to-earth. Rock had neither of these things. Now it is considered to have connections and status. So will Johannesburg become a world-famous criminal capital in the future?

It’s hard to say that Rock is very confident in himself, but he has no confidence in the British, Boers, and Zulu people. The British are better off. After all, with the foundation of the old empire, the Boers and Zulu people are both muddy and can’t get on the wall, and they won’t be able to succeed.

Because the work in the reservoir is safer than the work in the mine, the average monthly salary of workers who repair the reservoir is three pounds.

This salary is lower than that of a Chinese worker in Kimberley, and Rock thought that a Chinese worker would be dissatisfied.

Unexpectedly, the Chinese workers were very happy. Three pounds a month seemed to be a little less, but they were safe in their work and had good logistics, so there was nothing to be dissatisfied with. After all, three pounds were almost thirty yuan. Compared with the income in the Qing Dynasty, what else would you be dissatisfied with?

In fact, Rock also wanted to give more, but unfortunately, Crocodile Company is not Rock alone, and Rock is not even the chairman. The chairman of Crocodile Company is Cecil Rhodes Jr. Rock didn't even enter the board of directors, and Scarlett was the one who replaced Rock to enter the board of directors.

So Scarlett now needs to run at the Groove Company and the Gold Mine. Fortunately, the Groove Company's office is in the city of Johannesburg, which is not far from the Gold Mine.

Even so, in order to ensure Scarlett's safety, Rock arranged a guard for Scarlett. More than 20 gunmen protected Scarlett's carriage and traveled between Johannesburg and the gold mine every day. As a result, there were rumors in Johannesburg that Rock and Scarlett had abnormal relationships.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"All nonsense! Others don't know, but you don't know? Scarlett used to work in the Matilda Gold Mine. If I had anything between me and Scarlett, would I put Scarlett in the Matilda Gold Mine?" Rock scoffed at the rumors. If I hadn't asked about it, Rock wouldn't have explained it.

"That's not necessarily-" Owen was slow and unhurried, his speech speed and tone were very annoying. The subtext was: You'd better give me an explanation that I could accept, otherwise I might do something-

After obtaining the title, the relationship between Rock and the Matilda family entered a new stage.

After the establishment of the Crocodile Company, Rock gave Irving a bearer share of 100,000 pounds.

Then just a few days ago, when Rock went to visit Lord Philip, he had lunch at Lord Philip's house, and Philis was there.

Have you seen that compared with the title, real real money can still be overcome with one hundred thousand pounds. Even if it is put into the 21st century, it can do a lot, not to mention this era. I guess the Matilda family could not make up 100 thousand pounds before.

Otherwise, Irving wouldn't have asked Rock for coffee on his own initiative, and he would have brought up those boring rumors.

In fact, Irving doesn't care whether it's a rumor or not. He grew up in an aristocratic family since childhood. Irving is no longer accustomed to this kind of thing. Compared to Scarlett, what really made Irving care about was Ada, who was far away in Cape Town.

Scarlett is a Boer, but Ada is a Frenchman, and has a noble background. Although Ada is a widow, there are not too many people who want to take over in Cape Town.

When it comes to widows, some people's first reaction is the so-called cuckold and takeover warrior.

But a woman with a age of less than 30, with a good figure and appearance, a wealthy person, independent personality, can be in the hall, kitchen, and aristocratic background, who always cuckolds and takeovers are probably not even qualified to be a takeovers.

In fact, it is not that exaggerated. It is normal for old couples or young couples, and everyone lives their own lives, so there is no need to worry too much about other people's families.

The most realistic example is that Macron was only 40 years old when he was elected as the president of France in 2017. At that time, Macron's wife Brigitte was 64 years old.

With Macron's identity, background, ability, age, and even appearance, what kind of woman can't be found?

Someone will definitely talk about Macron's wife's background. It's hard to say whether Brigitte has a background. Just talking about Brigitte's own situation, Brigitte herself is not beautiful, and is not as fascinating as it was 54 years old (the age when she married Macron). When she married Macron, she had three children and seven grandchildren.

Looking at Macron's situation, it goes without saying how capable people are. Such people will be the so-called "fighting for twenty years less"?

Sorry, for some elites in this world, what ordinary people get after working for twenty years may be gained by months.

So, if you have a broad mind, you can live with money and a way to live without money, there are many wonderful things waiting for us to discover in this world.

Adrian Nell, the manager of Crocodile Company, recently discovered a wonderful stunner.

Yes, the stunner that Adrian Nell discovered was Scarlett.

Because of Rock's repeated requests, Scarlett has completely changed his appearance compared to before.

In the past, Scarlett had a disheveled face and was dressed casually. For a while, Rock even suspected that Scarlett never took off his clothes when he went to bed at night, and then after getting up in the morning, he didn't even change his clothes, and just wrinkled clothes, not even washing his face, and went to work in a mess.

Scarlett will not be like this now. After Rock was crowned, he already had the ability to protect Scarlett. Scarlett went to work in the Crocodile Company, which also represented Rock's image, if it was like before.

Not to mention Rock, Scarlett himself could not bear to continue living that kind of life, so during this period, Scarlett dressed up very beautifully, and went to work with a radiant look every day, and was as proud as a big white goose.

"I heard that Adrian Nell is pursuing Scarlett-" Old God Irving is there, seemingly careless, but is actually observing Rock's expression.

"Haha, it's impossible. Even if Adrian Nell is fainted, Scarlett won't accompany him crazy." Rock didn't care at all. Office romance is not fun.

It is obvious that Adrian Nell is the representative of Cecil Rhodes Jr. at the Gatorade Company, and Scarlett is the representative of Rock at the Gatorade Company, so Cecil Rhodes Jr. and Rock will allow Adrian Nell and Scarlett to play an office romance?

It's funny, a general manager and a treasurer. If these two people are in a relationship, they will easily undermine Rock and Cecil Rhodes Jr., so don't even think about this kind of thing.

"You know Scarlett very well." Irving was still saying strange things.

Rock was not angry and glared at Owen fiercely, and Owen immediately restrained himself.

Just have to have a degree of jokes. Just say a few words of meaning. You can hold on to it and not let it go.

What's more, Irving has no evidence yet, and he shouldn't have been given a sensation on the desktop.

"The Peace Agreement is about to be signed-" Owen's information is very well-informed.

"I know." Rock was a little confused. The peace negotiations in history were not signed until May 1902, and it was only October 1901, which seemed a little early.

"I have to say, you are such a lucky guy, you know? The day after you wiped out the guerrillas, the Boers accepted Lord Alfred's conditions, and you beat them up-" Owen raised his glass to Rock.

Understood!

In the original history, the Expeditionary Force never destroyed the Boer guerrillas in an established manner, so the Boer guerrillas had the confidence to bargain with the British.

This time and space are different. Rock has wiped out several Boer guerrillas and almost defeated Louis Bota. His big victory at Kimberley some time ago made the guerrillas around Kimberley disappear.

In this time and space, the living environment of the guerrillas is much worse than that of the guerrillas in another time and space.

This means that the Expeditionary Force Command cannot bear the slightest face. Otherwise, if Rock was transferred to the Expeditionary Force Command and specifically dealt with the guerrillas, what kind of losses would the guerrillas suffer?

"This is not luck. You only see me destroying the guerrillas, but you don't see how hard I work before destroying the guerrillas." Rock finally had the opportunity to pretend. People who are lucky than you work harder than you. What else can I say?

"After the peace agreement is signed, there will probably be a wave of titles." Irving is envious.

If London could ignore Rock's achievements last time and just give Rock a "baron" perfunctory thing, then this time, London would have no excuse to suppress Rock.

After all, since Lord Roberts announced the end of the war, the only few victory of the Expeditionary Force against the Boer guerrillas were basically fought by Rock.

Although Rock was not a member of the Expeditionary Force, he was a baron from the British Empire. From this point of view, even if the Expeditionary Force did not promote Rock, the royal family should actually take the initiative to promote it.

No, I have to continue to provide Winston with activities.
