Owen, as the freshly baked speaker of the Assembly, is very hot, and he is the center of the crowd everywhere he goes.

Roque didn't join in the fun, he had a big hidden mentality, found a sofa and slumped down comfortably, ready to sleep.

Xiao Si didn't let Roque get his wish, and stayed in the conference room to chat with Roque without a match.

This is actually not welcome, everyone knows that London does not like South African companies, so they dare not contact Xiao Siduo, lest they be contaminated with bad luck.

"Do you have any thoughts on the council?" Xiao Si has to determine Roque's requirements, and then adjust his plan appropriately.

"Of course there is, the management of Ziwei Town, it doesn't matter if anything else." Roque is not demanding, and he does not have any idea of fighting for power and profit, but mainly to ensure his own interests.

Under normal circumstances, Roque would have asked for four or five seats, which would not be enough to change the shape of parliamentary power, but enough to make his voice heard.

Roque didn't ask for it because there were already four or five seats for Roque to arrange at will, so Roque simply didn't embarrass Owen anymore.

According to the Ombudsman's request, the Liberal Party will only get a maximum of 70 percent of the seats, with the remaining seats to be divided among other parties.

Of the remaining 30 percent, the Socialist Party will take half of it, and the rest belong to the "other parties", and these "other parties" are all arranged by Roque, and each party is really not a number, and they all get a solid one or two thousand votes, so Roque is very confident.

"Ha, you're very talkative!" Xiao Si couldn't help but joke that a partner like Roque is indeed a once-in-a-century opportunity.

"What about you?" Roque knew that Xiao Si must also have a request, as long as the request was not too much, Orn should be able to satisfy Xiao Si.

"Mining Bureau, it doesn't matter if the rest is there." Johannesburg's economic pillar is the mine, and the position of the Mining Bureau is still very important.

This requirement, Owen should be able to meet Xiao Si, don't look at Xiao Si as a Rhodesian, he does not have a strong presence in Johannesburg, one-third of Johannesburg's gold mines belong to the De Beers Unified Mining Company, so Xiao Si's economic strength is simply daunting, except for Roque, Xiao Si is the most likely person to influence the political situation in Johannesburg.

"You're not happy with Blake Nelson?" Roque and Blake Nelson have a pretty good relationship.

Blake Nelson, a former chief of the interior who was removed from office in connection with a municipal engineering fraud case, has since returned as director of the Bureau of Mines.

This is also no way, there are actually only a few people in Johannesburg who have heads and faces, although Blake Nelson is not clean on the buttocks, but the others are not much better, so Blake Nelson can make a comeback.

If the civil service system is introduced, this situation will become less and less, and the promotion, appointment and dismissal of officials will be carried out according to a fixed procedure, and even the mayor will not be qualified to directly decide on the main leadership positions of the organs directly under the municipal government.

"That's not alright, Director Nelson is fine, but it would be better if it were my own people." Xiao Si must have had a problem with Blake Nelson, or else he wouldn't have raised the issue openly.

Roque doesn't care, although Roque has a good relationship with Blake Nelson, but the relationship with Xiao Si is better, if the director of the mine is replaced by Xiao Si's person, it doesn't matter, Roque believes that Roque's interests will not be affected at that time.

To put it mildly, as long as Roque has someone in the parliament, he is not worried about damage to his interests, otherwise the 100,000 Chinese in Johannesburg will never agree.

Xiao Si does not have the strength of Roque in Johannesburg, but the power of the mining alliance is also very strong, so his request Owen should be satisfied, don't look at the civil service system, in fact, it is still political spoils in his bones.

After the banquet, Roque was finally able to return to Ziwei Town to relax for a while, the new First Cavalry Division was normal, Ziwei Town was thriving, Roque really had nothing to worry about, and simply accompanied Phyllis at home to raise the baby.

Phyllis's pregnancy reaction was a bit severe some time ago, and she vomited at home all day, and now it is almost 20 weeks, and she has finally been relieved and her appetite has improved a lot.

Roque invited Marven, who had become the boss, to his home and carefully arranged Phyllis's diet, during this time Phyllis was in a good mood, and she began to stay at home again, and ran to the miner's children's school and Ziwei Public School when she saw the sky, and Roque did not interfere, pregnant women, the most important thing is to be in a good mood.

In fact, Roque can't be idle at home, there is an endless stream of people who come to visit Roque every day, and Johannesburg is also a bit lively during this time, and many people want to go Roque's door.

In fact, it's useless, I usually don't pay attention to making a good relationship, and I can't catch up with the hot ones when I eat and eat temporarily, and the people who really have a good relationship with Roque, Roque has already made arrangements, and those wall grasses are forgotten, Roque has no time and no energy.

In addition to Duncan and George, there are also Douglas who is becoming more and more like a politician and Colin Bellamy of Purple Hospital, as well as Hawley, who represents the Rock Gold Mine, and Xia Jiu, who is the umbrella company, there are only 33 seats in the Johannesburg Parliament, and Roque's people occupy six, if this does not ensure the interests of the Chinese, then Roque can retire.

"Joe, you put forward a bill to make Chinese the official language of Johannesburg, there are so many Chinese in Johannesburg, and the interests of the Chinese must be guaranteed." According to the provisions of the Peace Agreement, the official language of the Transvaal should be English and Boer, but in Roque's operation, there were very few Boers in the Transvaal, so Boer was just a decoration, and few people used it in the Transvaal, so it was natural to change it to Chinese.

In fact, even the Boers are beginning to disagree with the Boer language.

After the war, both Orange and Cape established the "African Language Society", and the Boers now not only do not agree with the Boer language, but also begin to disagree with the identity of the Boers, and now many Boers think that they are Afrikans, and are no longer "Dutch peasants", so the term "Boers" is repulsive.

This has a lot to do with the composition of the Boer coalition during the war, which included not only Boers, but also other white immigrants from the Transvaal and Orange, as well as "international friends" who came all the way to Europe to fight the war, and they had a strong sense of identity with each other after the war, so the Boers had begun to transition to Africanka.

Chinese will never have this kind of thing, Chinese immigrants overseas, no matter at all times, are Chinese, not anyone else, of course, there are people who forget their ancestors, but that is only an individual phenomenon, most of the time, Chinese still identify with their identity.

Therefore, Roque should strengthen the status of the Chinese language, which is conducive to strengthening the sense of national identity of the Chinese.

"I'll try—" George was obviously not confident, but he wouldn't refuse, the offer seemed to George to be more or less excessive.

Even if Johannesburg has a relatively high proportion of Chinese, it is still nominally a white world after all, and the interests of the Chinese can only be guaranteed in southern Africa.

George used to study at the University of Paris, and the more people who have studied in Europe, the more they understand the status of Chinese in the world, so in George's opinion, the chances of this proposal passing should be small.

"Try it, maybe you'll be surprised." Luo Ke didn't say too much, they were already democratic representative systems, and if even the parliamentarians were not confident, it would be impossible to better protect the interests of the Chinese.

Confidence still needs to be built up slowly, and Roque's fight to the sky is not as useful as Chinese as the official language of Johannesburg.

Take your time, since Roque made this proposal, then of course there is a certainty that it will be passed, the current parliament is still relatively easy to operate, and the parliamentarians are all novices, and they also know how to take care of the overall situation.

When the parliamentarians have become old oils, Roque will have to pay many times more if he wants to pass this kind of proposal, so some things are better determined in the form of law now, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

"In Purple Town, someone has proposed that a general election should also be held to decide on the members of the management committee—" Duncan hesitated, as if he was not sure whether he should report to Roque.

"Who made such a proposal?" Roque's face immediately turned cold, in this election, the voters of Ziwei Town also fulfilled their duty, and it seems that some people are not satisfied and want to implement the democratic representative system in Ziwei Town.

Theoretically, Ziwei Town is Roque's private property, and even the Johannesburg City Government can't control it, so Roque is very curious about who is so ignorant of life and death.

"It was a couple of professors at the medical school, Professor Abu, who told me about it." Duncan's face was a little sneering, and Roque felt a little tricky, the professors of medical school were still different, and it was indeed possible for these old pedants to make such an opinion.

Most professors have a bit of a problem with their personal feelings, and there are very few people like Douglas.

After all, people's energy is limited, and if you spend more energy on learning, then you will lack some sophistication for people, which is normal.

"How's Professor Abu's research going?" Roque found another way, if Professor Abu was more idle, Roque would find something to do for Abdo.

"It doesn't seem to be, I heard that I've hit a bottleneck now-" Duncan said nicely, to be precise, Abu's research encounters a bottleneck every day, and every step forward is extremely difficult.

"Then let Professor Abu focus more on research, elections or something, Professor Abu doesn't understand, don't let him get involved." Roque also tried his best to pick up good things and said that if a person like Professor Abu really became a politician, it would not be long before he would be swallowed up and there would be no scum left.
