When Luo Ke knew that this matter was the work of Xia Jiu and a few of them, Luo Ke's mood was still very complicated.

For a long time, Roque has hoped that the Chinese in Johannesburg can have the ability to make decisions on their own, and now Buck and Anton have been able to take charge on their own, and Xia Jiu is of course improving, but this direction seems to be off, and Roque doesn't know whether this kind of thing is good or bad.

But one thing is certain, a team, not everyone can be Wei Guangzheng, there must be someone to do the dirty work, no matter what, Xia Jiu's starting point is good, this still has to be affirmed.

"If there is such a thing in the future, go to Zack's side and say it, in case there is any accident, I can give you a cover." Roque still encouraged, after all, the current results are not bad.

Xia Jiu and the others were still worried, and if they didn't tell Luo Ke, they didn't want to make trouble for Luo Ke, even if something happened, they wouldn't implicate Luo Ke.

Now with Roque's encouragement, Xia Jiu is very happy, several of them have very special identities, they used to be in the Cape Town Police Department, similar to their situation, after being disabled, they should have retired from active duty, and they were struggling to survive with a meager salary.

Luo Ke's approach was obviously more humane, and he did not abandon Xia Jiu and them because of this, but entrusted Xia Jiu and them with important tasks.

In the whole of Johannesburg, now Xia Jiu and his gang can be said to be the most loyal to Roque, and they are also willing to work for Roque in the dark.

"Don't worry, sir, if there is such a thing in the future, we will definitely discuss it with Butler Zack." Xia Jiu did not resist Zack, Zach followed Roque all day long, and can be regarded as Roque's closest person.

After Harry Spencer and Arnold had a bad fight, he directly withdrew the inspectors at the train station and the main traffic thoroughfare, ignoring the Bruce Hughes case, and even bothered to cover it up.

Arnold was so angry that he wanted to go crazy, but he couldn't do anything about Harry Spencer, Philip wanted to bring Arnold back to his homeland, Arnold didn't even dare to go to the mayor's residence, Arnold's wife Lena was very sensible, and returned to his homeland directly with the child, leaving Arnold alone in Johannesburg and not asking.

Arnold thus expressed his displeasure with the work of the police department directly in Parliament, asking Harry Spencer to be questioned in Parliament about the Bruce Hughes case.

While Roque is secretly investigating Bruce Hughes, of course, he will not let go of the surveillance of Arnold.

In this respect, Arnold was much more than Bruce Hughes, who was also cautious, and when Arnold became a member of parliament, he simply intensified his relationship, not only having an ambiguous relationship with his own secretary, but also conspiring with Adam Stephen, another member of the National Party in Parliament, to try to buy the Priestley gold mine.

Priestley Gold Mine is a member of the Johannesburg Mining Alliance, this gold mine is not large, and the production is not high, so the local aristocracy and small snakes are not looked down upon, and it is a small independent gold mine in Johannesburg.

Although the scale is small and the production is not high, the Priestley gold mine is quite profitable.

In the case of Johannesburg, the gold mine with an ore grade of about five grams is already on the verge of abandonment, and the average grade of the Priestley gold mine is also more than 10 grams, which is an out-and-out bonanza, that is, the owner of the mine, Cody Priestley, does not want to attract attention, so the Priestley gold mine is not popular.

"Arnold's eating appearance is a little ugly, the annual profit of the Priestley gold mine is more than 500,000 pounds, he actually wants to buy the Priestley gold mine for only 100,000 pounds, this is afraid that he wants to go crazy for money, Cody has already let out his words, if Arnold doesn't stop, Cody will be burned, have a chance to remind Arnold, don't underestimate the determination of a millionaire." Xiao Si is the chairman of the Mining Alliance, and after Cody received the offer, he immediately sought the help of the Mining Alliance, so Xiao Si knew in a timely manner.

On the surface, Johannesburg's gold mines are not very profitable, but in fact it is difficult to say, Roque knew that most of the gold was hidden in the basement, and Cody Priestley certainly knew it.

Unlike Roque, Cody Priestley's properties are all in Europe, and it is said that there are also industries in the United States, so no one can say how much money these mine owners in Johannesburg make each year, only they know.

Or, only the RAND Bank knows, as most mine owners are now becoming more accustomed to keeping their gold in the RAND Bank.

So don't underestimate Ada's influence in Johannesburg, if you calculate it carefully, Roque's influence on Johannesburg may not be as good as Ida's.

Roque's main influence is still on the farm, or among the Chinese, Ida's influence in Johannesburg has transcended the racial group, the Chinese have to deal with the RAND Bank, the white people have to deal with the RAND Bank, even the Japanese government has to borrow money from the RAND Bank, and now Johannesburg is comparable to Governor Ade's influence with Ida.

"Hehe, this man is crazy, I don't even want to hear his name." Roque had no affection for Arnold, and if it weren't for Phyllis, Roque wouldn't have tolerated it.

"What then? Let him do whatever he wants, and I'm the president of the Mining Alliance. "Xiao Si is also very difficult, if Xiao Si is not merciful to Arnold, it will definitely affect the honor of the Roque and Matilda families.

If Xiao Si makes Arnold disgraced, then people who don't know the truth will not care how bastard Arnold is, they will only think that Roque and Philip, Henry, and Owen together can't help Arnold, and everyone will lose face together.

That's why Arnold has no fear.

"Don't ask me, I don't know, Philip can't send him back to his homeland, and I can't help it." Roque didn't know what to do, it was the first time he encountered this kind of scoundrel in his two lives combined, and it was because Phyllis was inconvenient to operate, to be honest, Roque really hoped that the killers of the Constantine faction would kill Arnold together, so that Roque could avenge Arnold with the power of thunder.

It's a hundred!

Xiao Si doesn't talk nonsense, he can also understand Roque's embarrassment, at this time, someone actually needs to take the initiative to stand up and let Arnold understand some truth.

Retribution came very quickly, before Christmas, Adam Stephen was suddenly dismissed from his position, no longer served as the general manager of the gold mines, and his position in the mining alliance was replaced by the new general manager of the gold mines.

Roque knew that Adam Stephen's power came from a certain nobleman in Britain, and thinking of Harry Spencer's background, Roque had to lament the impermanence of the world.

"Sir, if you want to stab out our contract with Adam Stephen, you will definitely be able to kill this guy." Xia Jiu didn't understand the hatred, this was the rhythm that was going to force Adam Stephen to death.

"Don't, if you poke this kind of thing out, who will dare to do business with the umbrella in the future?" Roque didn't want to lose his character, so he couldn't do what he dug his own grave.

"It's simple, let Sam fire an employee at will, and then let the employee poke out the news himself, and then we will arrange for someone to fly away, and no one can find it." Xia Jiu said that this is a good thing, according to this guy's character, it is estimated that he will kill people in the end, and go away and fly high or something, just talk about it casually.

Luo Ke is simply ridiculous, after Xia Jiu became blackened, he went farther and farther on the road of blackening, and he did things by unscrupulous means.

However, if you think about it carefully, it seems to be a bit operable-

Roque shook his head and kicked the thought out of his mind, some things are difficult to control after the beginning, and when you are used to using illegal means to deal with problems, then it is very difficult to return to the normal way.

"No, Arnold has a crush on Adam Stephen, and he will also do it for the power in Adam Stephen's hands, now if we deal with Adam Stephen, it is equivalent to helping Arnold, and keeping Adam Stephen, Arnold will be even more uncomfortable." Roque is not in a hurry, Adam Stephen is also a very powerful person, otherwise he would not have gotten close to Arnold, and now the councilor is the only right left by Adam Stephen, so let Arnold tangle it.

Arnold is indeed very entangled, as a member of the Mining Alliance, Adam Stephen is very important in Johannesburg, so to speak, the Mining Alliance is the top of the pyramid of Johannesburg, in fact, everything in Johannesburg, even what the city government wants to make, it needs the cooperation of the Mining Alliance.

To put it mildly, if the mining alliance is not satisfied with the decision of the city government, and the city government can be forced to death without money, the British system of "private property is sacrosanct" determines the status of the mining alliance is unshakable, and Xiao Si is actually the uncrowned king of Johannesburg.

After losing his position in the Mining League, Adam Stephen was dispensable to Arnold, and the seats in parliament were still very important, and Arnold now wanted Adam Stephen to voluntarily leave the Socialist Party, so that Arnold could use his parliamentary seat to win over others.

Adam Stephen, of course, also knew that his status was declining sharply, so he saw the Priestley gold mine as an opportunity for his re-emergence, and on Christmas Day, Adam Stephen and Arnold went to the Priestley gold mine together, and coerced Cody Priestley to buy the Priestley gold mine.

"Both, I'm afraid you're thinking too much, don't force me, or I'd rather sell the gold mine to Lord Nyasaland, or Mr. Cecil Rhodes Jr., than sell the gold mine to you." Cody Priestley refused, whether Arnold and Adam Stephen came soft or hard, Cody Priestley was not afraid.

The security of the Priestley gold mine is also the responsibility of the Umbrella Company, and when Cody Priestley meets Arnold and Adam Stephen, there are two big men with meaty faces standing behind him.

If it's really tough, a millionaire is not so easy to mess with.
