Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

"I swear, I just introduced them to work in the Cape. I never knew what they would encounter here. If I knew, I would never do that." Soon, the interrogation involved Hoover's labor trafficking part.

"You don't know?" Rock didn't believe Hoover didn't know.

"I really don't know, I swear," Hoover insisted. He was a very smart guy, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get into Stanford University.

"Okay, I'll just pretend you don't know how much a person costs when you sell him to De Beers Consolidated Mining Company?" Rock didn't dwell on these minutiae.

"I didn't, I didn't traffic people, I just introduced workers to work at De Beers Consolidated Mining Company." Hoover firmly refused to admit that he had done that kind of thing.

There was nothing to talk about. Rock sighed and threw down the pen in his hand.

Martin walked over with a sinister smile.

"No, no, no, don't do this, I sold it, I sold it, and they gave me a pound each." Hoover immediately collapsed.

Only one pound!

It's even cheaper than what Roque paid Liang Dingxin. Roque paid Liang Dingxin two pounds per person.

This is the crux of the matter

Although some people are hateful, they are indeed capable. Roque asked Liang Dingxin to buy people, but even two pounds could not be bought by one person. De Beers Unified Mining Company asked Hoover to buy people, one pound at a time, and they could buy them all at once.

to tens of thousands

After the war, De Beers Unified Mining Company needed a large number of workers. According to Hoover, De Beers Unified Mining Company needed at least tens of thousands of workers this time, so Hoover traveled thousands of miles from the Qing Dynasty to Johannesburg.

Of course, this is also related to the war currently breaking out in the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, Rock did not understand this period of history. In the original history, after the Second Boer War ended, Johannesburg imported a large number of workers from the Qing Dynasty. Starting from the 30th year of Guangxu, that is, in 1904, the Qing Dynasty began to export workers to Johannesburg on a large scale.

In June 1904, the first batch of 1,055 Chinese workers arrived in Johannesburg by ship from Hong Kong.

By 1905, a total of 50,000 Chinese workers had arrived in Johannesburg.

By November 1906, the number of Chinese workers in Johannesburg reached 63,296, accounting for more than one-third of the professional miners.

Unfortunately, because the Chinese workers were mistreated by the mine owners in Johannesburg, after the contract ended, most of the Chinese workers left Johannesburg and returned to the Qing Dynasty. Since then, no Chinese have landed in Africa on a large scale.

With Rock here, if nothing else, it can at least protect the Chinese workers from being abused by the mine owners. So when the contract between the Chinese workers and the mine ends, how many Chinese workers will choose to stay in Johannesburg?

Very worth looking forward to.

"It's only one pound, you don't earn much," Luo Ke thought to himself. If this is the case, then buying people from Hoover is much more cost-effective than buying people from Liang Dingxin.

"It's not much. De Beers Unified Mining Company only gives so much. If it's more, De Beers Unified Mining Company might as well hire those Zulu people." Hoover didn't understand what Rock meant, but knew to follow Rock's advice.

Let’s continue talking.

"Very good, come here and sign." Rock didn't waste any time and asked Hoover to come over and sign.

"No, no, no, I can't sign it." Hoover read the confession, lost his mind, and looked at Roark with fear in his eyes.

This confession records evidence that Hoover profited from human trafficking from the Qing Dynasty to Johannesburg. If signed, it would become a stain on Hoover's life.

Speaking of human trafficking, it is actually quite normal in Western countries. Hundreds of years ago, white people began to sell black slaves, and black slaves followed the pace of white people's conquest of the world and spread to every corner of the world.

The problem is that even those who made their fortune by selling black slaves will keep silent about this period of history. After all, everyone knows that slave trading is shameful. If Rock makes this confession public one day in the future, not only will it be

It's Hoover, and the whole United States will be ashamed.

Especially after Hoover became President of the United States.

Although Hoover was unwilling to sign, it was not Hoover's final decision whether to sign or not. As soon as Martin showed his trademark sinister smile, Hoover tremblingly stretched out his hand and signed his name under the confession.

Of course, Rock didn't forget to ask Hoover to press his fingerprints.

"Okay, now go change clothes, take a shower, and then let's go to the restaurant to have lunch together." Rock put away the confession. Seeing Hoover with a worried look on his face, Rock smiled gently: "I have something to do.

I have to talk to you, and if you can satisfy me, then this document will lie in the safe forever. If I am not satisfied, then Herbert, I'm sorry, but someone must be unlucky when I'm angry."

At this point, Hoover no longer offers any unnecessary resistance. Hoover is not the president of the United States yet. He is just a young man who has just stepped out of school. He has not yet realized what such a document will bring to him.

Such trouble.

Walking into the sunny restaurant, Hoover really felt like he was in another world.

The medium-rare steak, golden champagne, and white napkins are in stark contrast to the dark and cold basement. Only by experiencing those can we understand the preciousness of life.

"If possible, I hope you can buy those miners back. Don't worry, I have no other requirements. It doesn't even matter whether De Beers Unified Mining Company will pay them wages. Rather than cooperate with De Beers Unified Mining Company,

, I would rather suggest that you cooperate with me. What you have to do is no different from before. Go back to the Qing Dynasty to organize people, give them simple language training, condition their bodies, supplement some nutrition, and then send them to

Johannesburg, I will give you two pounds for everyone." Roque quickly entered the topic. They are all buyers anyway, and it doesn't matter who they buy from. Roque gave Liang Dingxin a chance, but Liang Dingxin did not seize it. Although Luo Ke

Rock hated Hoover, but Rock had to admit that compared to Liang Dingxin, people like Hoover were more useful.

This seems like a paradox, but it's true.

"You, you also need miners?" Hoover had a new understanding of Rock.

"Of course. This is Johannesburg. There are a lot of gold mines." Rock smiled a little weirdly, as if he was showing off the Senior Inspector badge on his shoulder intentionally or unintentionally.

Yes, although Roque is Chinese, he works as a senior inspector in the Pretoria Police Station. Is it difficult to get a gold mine?

At least Hoover didn't find it difficult.

After hearing Roark's purpose, Hoover looked at Roark again, and immediately felt a familiar familiarity.

You've been doing it for a long time, and you're doing it for those piggies too

Tell me earlier!

Why did you bother me for so long?

Hoover felt like he was about to cry. Why was it necessary to make it so troublesome for such a good thing?
