In Bobby Holt's understanding, it would be abnormal for Ziwei Town to accept Zulu people. In London at this time, Zulu people could not dine in the same restaurant or use the same bathroom as white people.
The drivers of public carriages will refuse Zulu people to ride.
As long as there are Zulu people on the public carriage, then no white people will get on the bus.
"The second principle is that no homeless people are allowed in Ziwei Town, not even white homeless people." Buck continued to raise his finger.
"Why?" Bobby Holt couldn't understand this time.
For white people, wandering seems to be a very normal thing. There are even examples of entire ethnic groups wandering in Europe, not just Gypsies but also Jews.
Relatively speaking, there are more homeless people in Johannesburg.
After all, Johannesburg is rich in gold, so there are not many gold diggers wandering around Johannesburg.
There are also many new immigrants who have just arrived in Johannesburg. They were originally homeless and homeless in Europe, or were directly exiled to Johannesburg for committing crimes. It is normal for these people to be penniless and without food and clothing.
It can be said that in most cases, this is the case for white people in the colonies, except for military personnel and government officials. Therefore, on this issue, in fact, most of the time, the colonies do not have much choice. Someone is willing to come
The colony is good, but as for whether he is a homeless person, I really don’t care.
"Ziwei Town has no shortage of immigrants, so we don't have to take in homeless people. As you can see, Ziwei Town is now very prosperous, beautiful, and has good prospects, so if we open the door, it won't take long for the whole town to
Everyone will be homeless. When the time comes, will Ziwei Town still be as beautiful as it is now?" Roque is patient, and this issue must not be ignored.
"Okay, I understand." Bobby Holt did not question Rock's words.
Since Rock explained clearly, Buck stopped explaining and continued to raise his finger.
But the third finger was clearly raised, but after waiting for a long time, no one said anything.
"No, just two principles." Buck was a little embarrassed, this was a big mistake.
Rock couldn't help laughing. Bobby Holt didn't laugh, but he endured it very hard.
"By the way, your salary, Bobby, during the probation period, your salary is 120 pounds. According to the regulations, after the three-month probation period, you will become a full-time person, and your salary after becoming a full-time person will be 200 pounds. However, you were recommended by Sir Locke.
So there is no need for a probation period. I will start working tomorrow. Is there any problem?" Buck drew Bobby Holt's attention back.
"No problem." Bobby Holt was very happy.
200 pounds sounds like a lot, but it’s actually not much.
Bobby Holt is a graduate of Cambridge University. When he was studying at Cambridge University, he did not have to pay tuition and rent, and he could also receive a scholarship of 80 pounds every year.
An eighty-pound scholarship is already a lot. At this time, a mature skilled worker in London only earns eighty pounds a year.
"Okay, now I will take you to your dormitory. The dormitory belongs to the town government, but if you want, you can buy the house. If you have no money, you can advance it from the town government account. You are a staff member of the town government.
In principle, no interest will be charged - there are no daily necessities in the dormitory, and you may need to go to the store. You can ask Sergeant Dunn to go with you, in case the store owner does not know you -" Buck rambled, he
We don’t know how rich Bobby Holt’s net worth is.
Rock's promise to Nelson Holt at that time was 5% of the profits of the Matilda Gold Mine. Don't underestimate this 5%. The monthly profit of the Matilda Gold Mine is now about 30,000 yuan.
About pounds, so Bobby Holt is an out-and-out rich man.
It is 30,000 pounds per month, and 5% of it per year is 18,000 pounds. No more than 5,000 people in the UK can get this income every year.
These five thousand people include the royal family, nobles, senior government officials, local governors, and big businessmen from all over the country.
Of course, the mine owners in Johannesburg are also included. After all, the gold mines in Johannesburg are really enviable.
Therefore, no matter how high the output of the Rock gold mine is, Rock does not dare to sell it and can only pile it in the basement, otherwise he will be seeking death.
Later, Rock entertained Bobby Holt at his home.
The chef was still Marvin, and Bobby Holt almost swallowed his tongue, completely impressed by the delicious food from the East.
After the meal, Rock invited Bobby Holt to the study, took out a share transfer agreement from the safe and handed it to Bobby Holt.
Lawyers are certainly no strangers to agreements and the like. Bobby Holt looked as usual and put on a professional posture. He probably thought that Rock needed his legal services. He read ten lines at a glance before being immersed.
I couldn't extricate myself from the shock for a long time.
"This is your father's graduation gift for you, do you like it?" Rock was very busy.
"Sir Locke, I don't understand -" Bobby Holt has not recovered yet. He doesn't know how much profit the Matilda Gold Mine is, so he doesn't know how much he can get the 5% per year.
How much.
"You don't need to understand, this is what your father deserves, but your father thinks it's better to put it in your name -" Rock didn't waste any time, took out a checkbook from the drawer, and signed a check.
: "This is the share you deserved last year. You hadn't graduated yet, so I didn't tell you. I rounded up a round number for you, and the excess is considered interest."
Roque issued a check with a face value of 5,000 pounds, and the results of this year's share will not be available until early next year.
Bobby Holt was even more at a loss when he took the check. These days, a house in central London costs only 5,000 pounds.
And if Bobby Holt was working in London, he might not be able to afford a house in central London in his life.

"The reason Lord Falwater was able to buy the Matilda Gold Mine is thanks to your father's help." Rock's words explained part of Bobby Holt's doubts. This was actually a reminder. The specific details were not clear.
Need to say more, as long as Bobby Holt understands that everyone is on the same side.
"Lord Fawalt——" Bobby Holt doesn't know Henry's title yet.
"Lord Fawalt Henry Matilda -" Rock said Henry's name completely. This is the correct way to use the title of noble.
Bobby Holt was stunned and had not fully digested all this.
"Lord Fawalt, I, and your father, we are old friends. Although we have not known each other for a long time, we hit it off right away, so you don't have to worry in Ziwei Town. If you have any problems, you can come to me at any time.
." Rock pretended to be an elder and was good at tempting.
"Thank you, Sir Locke." Bobby Holt's thanks truly came from the bottom of his heart.
It was getting late, and it was inconvenient for Bobby Holt to rush to Ziwei Town.
Rock arranged for Bobby Holt to stay in the guest room, and he could hear it through the door. Bobby Holt tossed and turned all night, and he indeed had dark circles under his eyes the next morning.
It is normal that even for graduates from Cambridge University, it will not be easy for them to be promoted to the upper class through their own efforts in this life.
It’s much easier now. A middle-class person who graduated from Cambridge University has a completely different feeling from a rich person who graduated from Cambridge University.
Bobby Holt is thankful to have listened to his father and returned to Johannesburg.
Before Rock went to work, he received a call from Irving. The mayor wanted to see him.
After a hurried breakfast, Roque didn't even need to ride a horse. The mayor's mansion is just across the road from Roque's house, just a few steps away.
Phyllis is playing ball with the big guy on the lawn. Don't get carried away. It's a game where Phyllis throws the ball out and the big guy picks it up.
When she saw Roark, Phyllis's eyes turned into slits with laughter. The big dog was stunned and actually yelled at Roark.
Rock was so angry, and he was about to teach the big guy a profound lesson, but he saw the big guy running over with his head swaying, and then put the ball in his mouth at Rock's feet.
This is because he wants Rock to play with him.
Rock flew up and kicked the ball into the swimming pool——
The big man's eyes were very sad, and he squatted stupidly by the swimming pool and turned his head 180 degrees to look at Phyllis.
Phyllis didn't even look at the big guy, all her eyes were on Roark, she was happy, gentle and attached to him.
Rock pointed upstairs.
Phyllis nodded.
There was no communication between the two, and everything was kept in silence.
"Sir Locke, there have been more and more Boers in Johannesburg recently. What do you think?" Philip was still the same. He didn't know if he had seen the scene just now.
"I have discussed with Colonel Marcos Lloyd of the Royal Canadian Regiment. Colonel Marcos Lloyd will free up part of the concentration camp. At the same time, we also need to build a formal prison. Even if it is not used now, it will be used in the future.
It's also very big." Rock's attitude is absolutely tough. In Rock's vision, there will be no living space for the Boers in Johannesburg in the future.
"Throwing it directly into a concentration camp? Wouldn't it be inappropriate?" Blake Nelson, the director of the Department of Internal Affairs, was also there.
"If it's not appropriate, then it should be handled by internal affairs." Roque will also shirk responsibility.
"Don't be like this, Sir Locke, that's not what I meant." Black didn't respond. What a joke. Whoever comes up with an idea on this issue will be unlucky.
If possible, Rock would not be willing to charge forward.
But there is no way. History has proven that the British's handling of the Boers after the war was inappropriate. If the British's handling of the Boers was still followed, within a few years, Johannesburg and even the Transvaal would still be ruled by the Boers.
Nothing has changed since before the war.
It cannot be said that nothing has changed. Compared with before the war, the four Cape colonies after the war have been integrated into one. Therefore, when discussing the establishment of a federation, the Boers relied on their population advantage to even control the power of Cape and Natal.
Taking them away together, the British government can be said to have lost both his wife and his troops.
Therefore, Rock cannot express his opinion on this issue. The British still have bourgeois weakness in their hearts, because Britain suffered heavy losses in the Second Boer War. After the war, Britain began to enter strategic contraction. By then, Britain
I don't care whether the Cape is in the hands of the Boers or the British.
All the British government cares about is gold.
"Sir Locke, how sure are you of dealing with the Boers problem?" Philip has realized the impact of the Boers, and he must know what happened to the Matilda Gold Mine.
"If the city government is willing to cooperate, I am absolutely sure." Roque is full of confidence. It is useless if there is no confidence. If the Boers return to Johannesburg in large numbers, it will have the greatest impact on the Chinese.
