When Arnold woke up, Arnold found himself in a hospital bed, with only Arnold's wife taking care of him in the ward.

"Where's my father?" Arnold felt that his father should be let know what kind of treatment he had been treated at the Matilda gold mines.

"My father is visiting the mine." Arnold's wife is also from an aristocratic family, and of course, like the Matilda family, is not a top nobleman, and is already about to decline.

Of course, the Matilda family is not the same as before.

The former Matilda family is indeed about to decline, and the nobility is like this, although the title can be hereditary, but if there is no income comparable to the status, then it will not be long before the family will begin to weaken, because there is also a chain of contempt among the nobles, the top nobles look down on the low-level nobles, the nobles with rich fiefs look down on the nobles in the remote fiefdoms, the nobles whose families are on the rise, the nobles who look down on the nobles in the middle of the family, and so on.

In the past, the Matilda family belonged to the lowest level of the aristocracy, the fief was remote, and there was no additional income, if the situation did not start to improve, then it would not be long before the Matilda family was no different from an ordinary family.

Except for that noble title.

It was probably from the time Henry was appointed Inspector that things began to improve.

Henry was so successful that he was soon promoted from inspector to superintendent, then deputy chief of police, chief of police, who not only killed Joubert, but also bought a gold mine in Johannesburg.

It was this gold mine that prompted Henry's family to come to Johannesburg from London, and money and wealth were equally important to the aristocracy.

That's why Arnold can't wait.

"Has that damn guy been here?" Arnold felt that Roque was to blame for his injury.

Arnold's wife did not understand who Arnold was talking about, and looked at Arnold with an inquiring gaze.

Well, the tacit understanding between the couple is not very good.

"It's the damn police chief." Arnold didn't want to say Roque's name.

"How can you say that?" Arnold's wife couldn't understand why Arnold was referring to Roque with such a nasty word.

For the aristocracy, this is actually very rude.

"Lena, were you bought by that damn guy too?" Arnold was angry, and his chest began to hurt again.

In other words, the sun's hooves are much bigger than Arnold's fists-

"Don't be angry, you've broken two breastbones." Lena comforted softly.

Of course, it's also a reminder.

"Damn, shit, damn it—" Arnold realized that his chest was bandaged like a breastplate.

Lena shook her head and sighed, Arnold was too impulsive this time.

Although Lena could understand Arnold's desire for wealth, Lena did not approve of Arnold's approach.

In Lena's understanding, yes, nobles also need to chase wealth, but the way nobles acquire wealth should be elegant and noble, not impatient hunger.

Arnold showed that he was too hungry to eat, after all, Arnold had just arrived in Johannesburg, and he did not know enough about the situation in Johannesburg, although the Matilda gold mine nominally belonged to the Matilda family, but in fact, the Matilda gold mine was Henry's property, not Arnold's, which seemed to be the same thing, but in fact it was two different things.

As the eldest son of the Matilda family, Arnold can inherit the family business of the Matilda family in the future, as far as the Matilda family is concerned, although it is not rich and expensive, but it can still be guaranteed that there is no need to worry about food and clothing.

And Henry, as the third heir to the Matilda family, is actually the same as Owen, he still needs to come out to work, after all, the Matilda family is not a top nobleman, the family industry does not have much output, and even Arnold is not qualified to sit on the empty side, so Henry has to fend for himself.

So Arnold could stay comfortably in London, waiting to inherit all the honor and wealth that belonged to the Matilda family, while Henry had to leave the Cape, starting with joining the colonial army, and gradually climbing the ladder.

Although it is a little regrettable, as Arnold's wife, Lena still feels sorry for her husband: "It was Director Locke who sent you to the hospital, and Director Locke also invited the best doctor in the Transvaal from Pretoria, and now Henry is also in Johannesburg, and he and Director Locke are inspecting the mine with their father." ”

"What did Henry say?" Arnold gritted his teeth, not forgiving Roque just because he found him the best doctor in the Transvaal.

"What do you say?" Lena was puzzled.

"Shouldn't that damn bastard beat me like this, shouldn't he pay the price?" Arnold was furious, and although his body could not move, his fist slammed the hospital bed.

"Director Locke didn't hit you, it was you who hit Director Locke's horse with a whip, and then Director Locke's horse would kick you." Lena felt that her face was feverish, this kind of thing, Lena felt embarrassed just by stating it, I really don't know where Arnold got the confidence to say it so grandly.

"He's lying—" Arnold was embarrassed to think about, so Arnold adamantly refused to admit it.

Yes, that's the logic of people like Arnold.

"Director Locke is not lying, you are lying, not only did you hit Director Roark with a whip, but you were also going to hit Owen with a whip, Owen is gone, but he is not far away, he still cares about you." Lena felt a little desperate, if it weren't for the child-

Well, in fact, even if Lena and Arnold don't have children, even if Lena is disappointed in this marriage, even if Arnold is a little more jerk, Lena can't do anything.

Marriages between nobles, in most cases, have little to do with affection, but rather with the interests of two families.

Therefore, many aristocratic couples, even if they are disappointed in their marriage, will not choose to divorce, but play their own games.

Therefore, there are a lot of things in the aristocratic group.

That's why Phyllis escaped to the Cape.

It's not that he can't do anything, and if Arnold behaves too badly, Lena can actually return to London, out of sight and out of mind.

"Damn, why are you all talking for that damn guy? That damn guy was just a damn yellow man, he didn't deserve to stay in Johannesburg, let alone be the Johannesburg police chief—" Arnold was completely out of control, feeling like he had betrayed his wife.

"Can you be quiet—there's a guard sent by the damn guy you said was right outside the door—" Lena felt like a head was two big.

"Guards? That's the damn guy sent to spy on us—" If the doctor comes to check on Arnold, he definitely has persecution paranoia right now.

"Then let the guards go?" Lena felt like her heart was dying.

"How is that possible!" Arnold flatly denied it.

The person who is interested in finding fault is the most difficult to serve, sending guards to say that it is surveillance, not sending guards to pay enough attention, and he is justified in whatever he wants.

"So what do you say?" Lena didn't want to talk anymore.

"How do I know? I'm a patient! "The patient pushed it all away.

The logic of this kind of person is that I am sick and I am justified, I am poor and I am justified, I am old and I am justified, and my children are young, so I am still justified -

Yes, yes, yes, you have, you have it, the earth is your family, all human beings are your ancestors, you should be used to doing anything, you didn't become the captain because God gave you the wrong birth, so you should go to God and let God reincarnate you -

The Ignorant Man was accompanying the Mayor of Johannesburg and the Pretoria Police Chief on a tour of the Matilda gold mine.

"The mine is doing well, we made a profit of £5,000 in the first week, and it doubled to £10,000 in the second week, and this week, the profit of the mine should be stable above £10,000, and I think the reason why the profit is rising is because we have implemented a human approach to the miners," Sam said.

Speaking is really a science, and if Sam had introduced humanized management as soon as he came up just now, then maybe Philip and Henry would have doubted it.

Now that Sam comes up and talks about profitability first, it will leave a preconceived impression on Philip and Henry, and it is understandable that the profitability is so good and the overhead is more.

"What does humanized management mean?" Roque is in charge of the praise.

Humanized management was definitely an innovative concept in 1900, when colonization, oppression, plunder, and violence were the mainstream, and Philip and Henry probably had never heard of the term "humanized management" before.

The problem is that Philip and Henry are leaders, and leaders are omnipotent prophets, so even if Philip and Henry are unfamiliar with "humane management", they can't give Philip and Henry the opportunity to ask this question, otherwise, they are not sympathetic enough to lead.

"Humanized management is to pay full attention to the elements of human nature in the whole enterprise management process, and to fully explore the potential of human beings as its own responsibility management model-" Sam is worthy of being a top student at the University of St. Andrews.

"To put it simply, humane management is to stimulate the work enthusiasm of the miners with good treatment, compared with the Boers and Zulus employed in other gold mines, we employ Chinese workers in the gold mines, their families are thousands of miles away, and there is no family tie in Johannesburg, so work is their only task, in fact, after we improve the treatment of miners, the management fee has not increased much compared with other gold mines, because we have reduced the expenditure of security and supervision, in other gold mines, Even if they use a lot of security guards and supervisors, the workers' motivation is still not high, but in our gold mines, there is no need for the supervision of the supervisors, the workers will work hard, because the more they work, the more they will earn, they never ask for leave, they never miss work, we actually have a clinic, but under normal circumstances, our miners will not take time off to see a doctor, they will choose to continue to work even if they are a little unwell-" Sam gushed about the Chinese workers.

Sam had been working in the mine for a long time, but had never managed such a good worker.
