Later, Sam calls Roque.

"Sir Locke, a Mr. Bobby Holt has come to you this morning." Sam didn't realize that a crisis had just passed by the Matilda gold mines.

Holt!

Hearing the last name, Roque immediately remembered that funny little old man from Nelson Holt.

"Where is he? Bring him to me. Roque is very happy that the promise he made to Nelson Holt has finally been fulfilled, and of course Roque has not forgotten to remind Sam.

"I'm sorry, Sir Locke, but I'm inexperienced, and I thought I'd be fine if I sent them away." Sam admits his mistake to Roque on the phone.

"Sam, be smart about things in the future." Roque vaguely reminded that this kind of thing can't be said too clearly, and he can't tell Sam directly, and if there is such a thing in the future, he will leave people directly in the gold mine to mine.

That's what De Beers Unified Mining did.

Soon, Bobby Holt appeared in front of Roque.

"Sir Locke, it's a pleasure to meet you." Bobby Holt is a very energetic young man, with a faint shadow of Nelson on his face, which makes Roque feel good at first sight.

"May you be seated, Bobby, graduating this year?" Roque remembers that Nelson had said that Bobby went to college at Cambridge.

"Yes Sir Locke, I just graduated from Cambridge this year, I studied law, and I had already got a job in London, but my father thought that with you I might get a better job than London." Bobby Holt is honest, it's an excellent quality, and Roque loves it.

It can be seen that Bobby Holt is a very cautious person, he carries a black satchel on his back, sits down with the satchel on his lap, and folds his hands on the satchel.

This is actually a somewhat defensive move, Roque can understand, after all, Johannesburg is a strange place to Bobby Holt, and it is right to be defensive.

"Hehe, yes, with me, you can indeed get a better job than London, tell me, what do you want to do? What kind of work do you want to do? Roque was full of admiration for Nelson's little old man, and it is estimated that Nelson did not tell Bobby about the deal between him and Roque.

At the time of the deal between Nelson and Roque, Roque was only a senior inspector at the Pretoria Police Department, similar to Nelson, who was the deputy director of the Pretoria Mines Bureau.

Now that Roque is the chief of the Johannesburg Police Department, and one of the few "slave barons" in the Transvaal and even in all four colonies, he has distanced himself from Nelson's identity, so it is smart for Nelson not to tell Bobby about the deal between him and Roque, and if Bobby knows, the outcome is unpredictable.

In the face of interests, no one can be trusted, including Roque.

It is an obvious fact that although Roque has promised Nelson, if Roque turns his face and does not admit it, what can Nelson do to Roque?

Nielsen can't do anything.

So Nelson can only pin his hopes on Roque's character.

And character is actually the most unreliable, because people will change, with the improvement of status, identity changes, mood, vision, and the angle of seeing things, all will change, this is the so-called "ass determines the head".

Fortunately, Roque can be trusted.

"Sir Locke, I studied law, and of course I want to work in law." Bobby Holt told the truth that although the profession of law has a wide range of applications, Bobby Holt is still very simple and has no other ideas.

"You don't have to limit yourself to law-related work, you can try a lot of work, if you don't feel comfortable, it's not too late to go back, of course, if you just want to do this kind of work, you can do a lot of work." Roque gave Bobby Holt more possibilities, and if Bobby Holt only wanted to be a lawyer, then Roque could directly open a law firm for Bobby Holt.

Of course, the money needed to open a law firm must be Nielsen Holt's share, and since it is a promise to Nelson Holt, then Roque will definitely do it.

For the sake of this money, I can't break my promise and get fat.

"Thank you, Sir Locke, my father said, let me listen to you, you can do whatever you tell me." Bobby Holt is simply cute.

"Hahahaha, Bobby, you have a very smart father, come with me and let me see what work you can do." Roque laughed, the more Nelson Holt trusted Roque, the more Roque would live up to that trust.

In fact, before you know it, Roque now has a lot of properties under his name, such as the Rock Gold Mine, the Purple Town Hospital, the Oak Bar, the Crocodile Bay Company, and the guild hall under construction, all of which surprised Bobby Holt.

In fact, Nelson Holt asked Bobby Holt to give up his job offer in London and return to Johannesburg, but Bobby Holt resisted in his heart.

London is the center of the world, and Johannesburg is nothing compared to London, and in Bobby Holt's concept, Johannesburg has only nouveau riche miners, rude miners, and is out of step with him, a Cambridge graduate.

It was only after arriving in Johannesburg that Bobby Holt had a new understanding of Johannesburg.

It's a young city, and it's full of construction sites, and you can tell that there is an ambitious mayor in the city who is going to do something big in Johannesburg.

Compared to London, Johannesburg is indeed very young.

But being young is not insignificant, just like Bobby Holt, a Cambridge graduate who has just walked out of school, being young means being energetic, it means more opportunities, and it means infinite possibilities, all of which are advantages that London, a city where everything is solidified and slowly aging, does not have.

When I came to Ziwei Town, everything here once again refreshed Bobby Holt's perception of Johannesburg.

When he was in England, Bobby Holt used his spare time to walk through many small towns in the United Kingdom.

Bobby Holt likes the tranquility and tranquility of the English country town, those buildings that are hundreds of years old at every turn, and they are silently telling the history to Bobby Holt, who once decided that after he graduates, even if he works in the city, Bobby Holt will have to live in a country town.

In Purple Town, Bobby Holt finally realizes that it is not only the British country towns in the world that have charm, and country towns have another way of being.

Compared to the quiet and peaceful English town, the town of Purple is much more noisy.

The country towns in Britain are indeed quiet and peaceful, and it is not good if they are not quiet, and many young people in small towns are working hard in big cities, and only the old people in their twilight years are left in the towns.

Not to mention the elderly, even the cats and dogs on the street are lazy, and they can't lift their spirits when they see strangers, and they are immersed in their own world.

Ziwei Town is different, there are almost no old people lazing in the sun on the streets, but Bobby Holt sees many old people tidying up the lawn, or cleaning and drying, in Roque's words, these old people will do what they can even in their old age, and do not want to be a burden to the children.

This is very different from what Bobby Holt saw in the UK.

Most young people in the UK will take the initiative to leave home when they become adults, and they do not want to be constrained by their families, do not live with their families, and do not often go home to see, so the elderly in Britain are very lonely.

Ziwei Town is different, the faces of the old people in Ziwei Town rarely see loneliness and loneliness, and when they sit idly in front of the porch, the expressions on their faces are mostly satisfied and gratified.

The most seen on the street is the rampaging children, the children are sometimes followed by the South African mastiff shaking their heads and tails, whenever the children lead the South African mastiff from the street whistling, there will always be the laughter and scolding of the adults, at this time the children do not reply, only the South African mastiff who does not know whether to live or die will be stunned and scream.

The buildings in the town of Purple Wattle are very new, and the purple trees on the side of the street are obviously new, and there are a few nearby farmers selling fruit at the entrance of the town, Bobby Holt does not recognize the name of the fruit, and the sheriff he just met went over to hand the farmer who sold fruit two pennies, took two fruits and washed them in the bucket next to him, and handed them to Bobby Holt when he came back.

It's very sweet!

"Not long ago, Ziwei Town just had a mayor election, and the new mayor is also the general manager of the Rock Gold Mine, so most of the time he is not in the town, if you want, you can come over and be an assistant to the mayor for a while." Roark sincerely invited, Buck is also a university graduate in London, and it is estimated that he and Bobby Holt will have a lot in common.

Although in terms of strength, the University College London where Barker graduated is certainly not as good as Cambridge where Bobby Holt graduated, but considering the popularity of university education in these years, in Johannesburg, there are really few real college graduates, that is, Roque is tempted by high salaries, it seems that there are many people who have received higher education in Ziwei Town, and aside from Ziwei Town, I am afraid that there are not many people with higher education in Johannesburg and Pretoria combined.

"Okay, I'm willing to try." Bobby Holt feels like he's fallen in love with Purple Town.

Roque was a little surprised, he didn't expect Bobby Holt to take the bait so quickly.

If Bobby Holt doesn't want to be the mayor's assistant, Roque will take Bobby Holt to Ziwei Town Hospital, then the Rock Gold Mine, the Guild Hall, the Crocodile Bay Company, and even Christian's construction company, there will always be Bobby Holt who likes it.

Knowing that Roque had arrived in Purple Town, Buck quickly rushed over.

"I'm sorry sir, I was in the mine—" Buck greeted in Chinese before seeing Bobby Holt, and then hurriedly apologized.

When no white people were present, both Buck and Roque used Chinese to communicate.

But if there are white people present, it would be disrespectful to other people to communicate in Chinese, and Buck is still very aware of this.

"Let me introduce you, Mayor Buck, this is Bobby Holt from Pretoria, don't look at him young, he is a top student at Cambridge University, and he studied law like you, and next, Bobby Holt will stay in Ziwei Town as your assistant." Roque took the initiative to introduce.

"Haha, that's great, Bobby, my name is Buck, you're welcome." Buck was very enthusiastic.

"Mr. Barker, are you also a Cambridge graduate?" Bobby Holt leaked the bottom as soon as he opened his mouth, how could he greet people like this, isn't this a slap in the face.

"No, University College London." Buck is calm, there is nothing to be embarrassed to admit, there are no university rankings this year, so UCL is not much worse than Cambridge.

"Oh oh oh, UCL management is amazing—" Bobby Holt made another mistake.

"I studied law." Buck was serious, looking at Bobby Holt, as if he saw himself who had just graduated that year.

"I-I'm sorry." Bobby Holt finally realizes his mistake.

"Hahahaha, okay, you are all better than me, I graduated from Huayong Battalion." Roque laughed and muddy.

Although Bobby Holt didn't know what Huayong Camp was, he finally couldn't help but ask.

It's kind of saved.

The mayor's office was next to the hospital, across the street from the church and police office, and in a huge house, before Bobby Holt came, there were only Buck and two clerks, and a janitor.

"Bobby, add a desk to my office, and we'll both be working in one office from now on." Buck wants to run both ends of the gold mining town, and it is impossible to stay in the town all the time, so there is no need to toss two offices.

"Oh, okay." Bobby Holt nodded repeatedly.

It was a very simple office, with flannel wallpaper on the walls, no carpets on the floor, a desk in the room, and a filing cabinet in the corner, with the door of the filing cabinet hidden.

Bobby Holt's eyes were not bad, and at a glance, he saw that there was a wine bottle in the filing cabinet -

Unfortunately, before Bobby Holt could read the label on the bottle, the filing cabinet was closed by Buck.

"Our main job is to register the population of Ziwei Town—" Buck looked badly.

Bobby Holt was clever this time, showing with a determined look that he didn't see anything.

"—Remember the principle that Purple Town does not accept any Zulus." Buck held up a finger to Bobby Holt in emphasize.

"Okay." Bobby Holt doesn't have any problems.

This principle seems to be suspicious of racial discrimination.

But in this day and age, it is normal not to accept Zulus, and even in this era there is no such thing as racial discrimination at all, because in the concept of whiteness, Zulus, including all people of color, are slaves of white people and should be inherently inferior to white people.
