Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
1595 Governor's Decision
"Aiden, you have to figure out the relationship between the Congress and the federal government." Stoudemire's voice was stern. This was Aiden. If it were anyone else, Stoudemire would not have the patience to remind him. Tool people don't need to think.
After all, Eden had worked conscientiously beside Stoudemire for decades. When old Cecil Rhodes passed away, without Eden's assistance, Stoudemire would not have been able to successfully take over the South African company.
Everyone has feelings, and Stoudemire couldn't bear to see Aiden in danger.
Now Stoudemire and Rock have formed a strong alliance of interests, and they are also sons and daughters. Aiden should not and cannot say these things.
As for the relationship between the federal government and the federal parliament in Southern Africa.
Unlike the United Kingdom, Southern Africa implements a governor-general system. In name, the British king is the supreme leader of Southern Africa, followed by the governor-general, and then the prime minister.
The British Parliament has great power, and the power of the Prime Minister is restricted by the Parliament. Any policies that the UK wants to introduce need to be submitted to the Parliament for review by the Prime Minister's Office, and they can only be implemented after passing the third reading.
Southern Africa is formally the same as the United Kingdom, and the power of the prime minister is also subject to parliamentary constraints. During the Philip era, the parliament repeatedly rejected proposals from the Prime Minister's Office, and the relationship was once tense.
It would definitely be different with a strong Prime Minister. The current Federal Parliament has almost become a vassal of the Palace of Justice, with only a supervisory role remaining. If the Parliament cannot figure out the situation, then Roque may really dissolve the Parliament.
In fact, the British Prime Minister also has the right to dissolve Parliament, but it needs to be approved by the King of England. As long as the King agrees, the Prime Minister can dissolve Parliament and hold a general election. Stanley Baldwin misjudged the situation last time, so the Conservative Party lost the right to govern.
"Yes, I understand." Aiden is not against the federal government, he is just complaining.
Opposing the federal government is treason, and Stoudemire will clean up the country without Roark's intervention.
"These are troubled times, and we need all of us to work together. Don't care about temporary gains and losses. After surviving these few years, Rhodesia Company will reach a new level." Stoudemire's current situation is also good, and there is endless money to be made.
Stoudemire was already one of the richest men in the world and began to pursue things other than money.
Aiden's work is very busy. In addition to being a federal parliamentarian, Aiden is now the chairman of the Johannesburg Mining Alliance and the general manager of De Beers Consolidated Mining Company.
There are now more than 70 gold mines in the Rand mining area. De Beers Unified Mining Company and Haut-Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd. under the name of Rock together account for half. The general manager of Haut-Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd. is De Beers.
Transvaal Governor Hawley said that after the gradual liquidation of African-American workers in southern Africa, the operations of the Rand mining area were affected to a certain extent. The large number of African-American workers left, forcing the mines to upgrade equipment and use more advanced technology. Some mine owners were
This is quite objectionable.
This is normal. Although construction machinery is highly efficient, it is expensive and requires maintenance. The cost is higher than directly using African workers to mine using the most primitive methods.
Not everyone has the same awareness as Rock and Stoudemire.
"Construction machinery is really too expensive. The price of a scraper is close to R5,000, which is about the same as the price of a Lord's car. With this money, you can hire 2,000 workers, and the efficiency is better than that of a shovel."
The freight rate is higher." At the Mining Union meeting, Tommy Brent, general manager of Nathaniel Company, clearly expressed his opposition to the removal of African-American workers.
Nathaniel Company is a mining company with a British background. It owns two gold mines in the Rand mining area, both of which are relatively small in scale.
After the establishment of the federal government, large-scale and high-yield gold mines changed hands several times and were monopolized by large companies such as De Beers Consolidated Mining Company and Haut-Katanga Consolidated Mining Co., Ltd., leaving other companies with scraps.
It can't be said that it is leftovers. Rand gold mines are generally of high grade. Only when the gold content per ton of ore is more than ten grams is it considered valuable for mining. The first gold mine that Rock got had a grade of only about five grams, and now it has become a hot commodity.
cake.
The two gold mines owned by Nathaniel Company both have a grade of only about five grams, and their reserves are not high.
A gold mine like Rock Gold Mine, which can easily contain hundreds of millions of ounces, is said to have high reserves.
Since its mining, the Rock Gold Mine has mined a total of 15 million ounces of gold. Based on the current price ratio between rand and gold, it is worth approximately R465 million.
The price comparison here refers to the selling price of gold on the market, not the official price. The rand has now been untied from gold and cannot be directly exchanged for gold.
In the southern African market, the price of gold is currently around one rand per gram.
"When you hire two thousand workers, you have to pay them a monthly salary and take care of their food, drink, and sleep. The scraper only needs to be refueled. It can be used for at least a year. In this way, the scraper is more cost-effective."
Mike, the general manager of Erda Mining Company, is also named Matilda and is a distant relative of Phyllis. According to seniority, Mike will be called Uncle Roque.
"The loader cannot be used for a year at all. In my mine, the loader was completely damaged after only one month of use and cannot be repaired at all." Tommy Brent was very angry. This was promoted by Nyasaland Heavy Industries.
are fundamentally different.
"Then I don't know why. Anyway, in the mine of Matilda Mining Company, the scraper has been running for six months and it is still normal." Mike said sarcastically. No matter how good the scraper is, it still needs maintenance.
.
The Rand Mining Area is neither big nor small. There are just dozens of gold mines, and a small incident can make everyone aware of it in half a day.
The scraper purchased by Nathaniel Company was indeed completely damaged after only one month of use. Nathaniel Company then sought compensation from Nyasaland Heavy Industries, claiming that the quality of the scraper produced by Nyasaland Heavy Industries was not good enough.
qualified.
The scraper is a necessary equipment for gold mining. In the underground, the scraper sends the blasted ore to the belt conveyor and transports it out of the ground. In the past, this work was done manually.
Nyasaland Heavy Industries attaches great importance to product quality. After learning the news, it immediately sent people to Nathaniel Company to investigate the situation.
This incident had a great impact at the time. Some mines that had signed the contract requested returns, and more mines that had not yet signed the contract were in a wait-and-see mode.
The investigation results came out quickly. It was found that the complete damage to the scraper was not a quality problem, but that Nathaniel Company used it improperly and did not perform regular maintenance on the scraper as required. Therefore, the scraper was damaged in less than a month.
This result was rumored to be a joke in the Rand mining area. The expensive Lord car still needs regular maintenance, not to mention it is a heavy-duty construction machinery.
This kind of thing is actually normal. For the same two cars, one is regularly maintained and carefully maintained. The usage environment is a spacious and flat expressway in the city. It is not willing to drive on any bad road. The service life will naturally be longer. In a few years, it will look like
Still like new.
If a car has been used in a harsh outdoor environment for a long time, never maintained, 24 hours a day, and the owner has the habit of violent driving, then it will definitely not take long for the car to be ruined.
This is definitely not a quality issue.
"No matter what, the federal government should not interfere with the normal operations of enterprises. We have the right to choose whether to use workers or construction machinery." Tommy Brent became angry. He was responsible for the company's shareholders, and the company's profits dropped.
, Tommy Brent takes full responsibility.
"Mr. Brent, if your Nathaniel Company does not comply with the regulations of the federal government, the Mining Alliance will remove your Nathaniel Company and take back your sales quota." Aiden is welcome, 5 grams per ton
In terms of grade, it is a mine with low gold content in the Rand mining area. It is different outside the Rand mining area, and some people are willing to take over.
"There is also this sales quota, which is also very unreasonable. We can sell the mined gold to whomever we are willing to sell it. The mining alliance took our money, not only did it not protect the interests of the mine, but it also carried out harassment on the mine.
Many restrictions, is this reasonable? Is it reasonable? Is it reasonable?" Tommy Brent asked Sanlian, hoping to get more support.
However, the situation was different from what Tommy Brent had imagined. Among the dozen or so members of the Mining Alliance, no one supported Tommy Brent’s doubts, or even echoed them.
Everyone was looking at Tommy Brent with mocking eyes, including those who usually had a good relationship with Tommy Brent.
"Is this guy crazy?" Aiden whispered to Holly without deliberately lowering his voice.
There's no point in suppressing it. The conference room is not very large and everyone can be heard clearly.
"How long has it been since we last cleaned up?" Holly sneered. Some people just don't know the current affairs. The Mining Alliance has been developing steadily in recent years. Some people probably thought that Aiden and Holly couldn't take the knife anymore.
This cannot be blamed on Tommy Brent, nor is it forced on him. The last time the Mining Alliance cleaned up its doors, Nathaniel Company had not yet been established.
"Haha, it's been almost twenty years." Aiden couldn't remember, it was really too long ago.
"Let's do this, Tommy. I'll give you a month. You can find a buyer. If that doesn't work, Haut-Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd. can take over Nathaniel's gold mine." This is not a negotiation, Holly said.
But grab it openly.
"Mr. Governor, what do you mean?" Tommy Brent's face turned pale. Are you so shameless?
"What do you mean? You also know that I am the governor. I spend my precious time attending meetings, not to listen to your complaints. Since you don't want to do it, then get the hell away from me and don't give me anything."
If I'm looking for trouble, don't bring trouble for yourself!" Hawley fired directly. In the Palace of Justice, Hawley behaved like a chicken. After leaving the Palace of Justice, Hawley became the governor of the Transvaal.
ps: The last chapter is not about changing the name, 1593 is applying for the lifting of the ban, the code is so exciting, that’s it, accidentally crossed the line
