After all, Bobby Holt is just a young man who has just started working.

Tonylson Holt's blessing, Bobby Holt will probably not be short of money in his life, although it is not as good as Roque and Henry, but in addition to satisfying personal consumption, he also has funds to support his own small hobbies, which is also the reason why Bobby Holt's small group can exist.

I have to say that Roque still underestimated Bobby Holt and their small team, in this small room, Roque saw at least six rudimentary industrial machine tools, it seems that Bobby Holt and they hammered out two motorcycles here.

It was indeed quite inspiring, and Roque noticed that there were two more disassembled engines in the corner.

Bobby Holt noticed Roque's eyes and took the initiative to introduce: "This is an engine bought from Germany, there are still many problems, mainly not stable enough, our first motorcycle broke four times in a month, Green is mainly responsible for the repair of the engine, after improving the engine, our second motorcycle has not broken once so far." ”

Green's appearance is very honest, and he looks similar to Fahan in "Three Fools in Bollywood", looking like a tech nerd.

"Can you make improvements to the engine?" Roque was still surprised, after all, this is an engine, an industrial heart, such a tall thing, it seems that it should not be discussed in such a casual tone.

As a result, improving the engine in Bobby Holt's mouth doesn't seem to be much harder than frying a piece of steak.

"The structure of the engine is not complicated, Mr. Dailem designed the four-stroke engine 30 years ago, and now this gasoline engine was invented by Mr. Dailem 20 years ago, this engine is not complicated, give us a little time, we can even make it completely." Bobby Holt was very confident, and Roque suddenly realized, yes, now that the engine has just entered the initial stage, it is true that there is not much technical content.

With a "boom" noise and curses from neighbors, Ted finally drove the motorcycle over.

Not to mention Bobby Holt, even Roque feels embarrassed, this noise is really a bit disturbing.

"Can't you just find a way to reduce the noise of your motorcycle?" Roque gave an opinion.

"We're all focused on improving performance—" Bobby Holt looked ashamed, and both Green and Ted were a little embarrassed.

Roque was thinking loudly, these guys didn't want to reduce the noise at all, maybe they didn't like it was loud enough to attract the whole town.

Sao Bao and the second secondary school boy who loves it!

In fact, aside from the noise, the motorcycle that Bobby Holt and they built is still good, except that the seat that is about the same as the bicycle seat is a bit out of class, and the overall effect is better than the motorcycle that Father Frank bought.

"How is this motorcycle performing?" Roque wanted to take the plunge, but it wasn't realistic.

"The fastest speed can be 50 miles per hour, and as long as you have gas, you can run to the ends of the earth—" said Ted, who uses the motorcycle on a daily basis, and has the most say on the subject.

50 miles is about 80 kilometers, this speed is very good, compared to horseback riding obvious advantages, the sun and north wind of Roque can reach this speed in a short time, but at this speed can only be maintained for a maximum of three or five minutes, not for a long time.

Considering the price of motorcycles, Roque immediately became excited: "You guys are doing your best now, how many motorcycles can you produce per month?" ”

How many?

Bobby Holt, Green, and Ted were all embarrassed, they looked at each other, and Bobby Holt slowly stretched out two fingers: "The three of us are doing our best, and we can only produce two cars a month." ”

Two cars, this speed is too slow, Roque is disappointed, but it doesn't matter, Roque exists to solve such a problem.

Saying that two is not a lot, no wonder Ted proposed large-scale production, a motorcycle costs less than a hundred pounds, and it can be sold for three hundred if it changes hands, Bobby Holt is not short of money, and Ted and Green's annual salary is about 200 pounds.

In this way, if Ted and Green switch to building motorcycles, their annual salaries can immediately increase tenfold.

"What if we give you more manpower?" As long as it can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

"If there are enough people, then the speed can really be accelerated." Bobby Holt is confident that none of the three of them are professional workers, they all have their own jobs during the day, and they can only use their spare time to build motorcycles, and if they are full-time, the speed can definitely be accelerated.

"Then hire someone to do it, hire someone to manage it, and you are only responsible for technology and supervision." Roque pointed out the way, it doesn't matter if you don't have time, you can spend money to hire someone else's time, this is the advantage of capitalists.

The motorcycle industry is still very promising, and vigorously developing the motorcycle industry can not only solve the traffic problem in Johannesburg, but also force the city government to solve the road problem.

There is now only one dirt road between Johannesburg and Pretoria, which is barely usable under normal conditions, but is muddy during the rainy season.

For example, there is now only a railway between Johannesburg and Pretoria, and the road is no longer available.

If an asphalt or concrete road could be paved between Johannesburg and Pretoria, the link between Johannesburg and Pretoria would be greatly strengthened.

"Hire someone—" Bobby Holt seems to have discovered a new world, with dividends from the Matilda gold mine, Bobby Holt is not short of money, and even Bobby Holt does not know how to spend it.

"Yes, hire people to do it, Johannesburg has everything, steel, natural rubber, manpower, except for no oil, the materials needed to build motorcycles can be purchased locally in Johannesburg, you can hire people to do it, if the engine can't be self-produced, buy it from Europe first, and try to produce it as much as possible, don't worry about sales, no one will buy my bag when it is made." Roque is very supportive, and there is a huge demand for motorcycles in the police department, not to mention the farms around Johannesburg, as long as the motorcycles are made, there is bound to be a market.

"Okay, we'll hire someone right away." Bobby Holt made up her mind.

"Hmph, don't think so well, if you want to expand production, then you can't be in Ziwei Town, there are many people complaining about you during this time, Bobby You are the deputy mayor, it is impossible not to know." Buck poured cold water, which is not considered wearing small shoes.

"Then we'll go to Johannesburg-" Bobby Holt didn't dare to resist, there is no grandfather here, there is a place to stay -

"To Johannesburg? You're going to make motorcycles, but it's going to increase taxes, are you going to give them to Johannesburg? You're still not the deputy mayor of Ziwei Town? "Buck's head and face are just a squirt, a guy who eats inside and out, and he has no memory if he doesn't train.

This is the horror of the grassroots officials, offending them, it is almost life-threatening in every minute.

"Get Buck, give them a plot of land outside the town, and let them toss around as they want - by the way, be careful not to pollute the environment." Rokti demanded that it was impossible to go to Johannesburg and that he could only stay in Ziwei Town.

Motorcycles have to be produced, and the environment has to be protected, compared to the environment, Roque would rather not have a factory, anyway, the meat is rotten in the pot.

"Hehe, okay - now, let's talk about the land transfer fee." Buck went around in a big circle, the purpose was still for money, and this mayor was indeed qualified.

Roque didn't care how much Buck asked Bobby Holt for the land transfer fee, and after this was done, Roque was in a happy mood and returned to the hall without a dream.

It was no longer possible to call the guild hall, and after the agricultural association moved, the guild hall became the residence of the Baron of Nyasaland, located at 001 Ziwei Town.

The next morning, Roque got up early to go to Johannesburg, and when she passed by Ziwei Girls' School, Phyllis was leading her students to do morning exercises.

There are now more than 700 students in the girls' school, they are dressed in neat school uniforms, and they do morning exercises neatly on the hardened playground, most of the children are wearing rain boots made of natural rubber, at this time there is actually synthetic rubber, but limited to technical means, the performance of products made of synthetic rubber is not ideal, and the price is higher than natural rubber.

Roc waved at Phyllis from afar, and Phyllis happily responded.

The response was not large, but it was discovered by Principal Sophia.

Fortunately, Principal Sophia was still very knowledgeable, and did not criticize Phyllis strictly as Roque imagined, but turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.

So Roque went to work with confidence.

For a whole morning, Roque was busy with all kinds of trivial matters, and only then did Roque realize Joe Russell's hard work, no wonder Joe Russell stayed in Bloemfontein and did not come back, probably because he was lazy.

In fact, he wasn't too busy, after all, most of the time Roque just made decisions, and the specific work was handled by Li De, and Roque got off work early and went to Owen for coffee.

Owen has been very happy lately, and the Liberal Party has been thriving, with more than 5,000 permanent members, most of whom are farmers around Johannesburg and officials from the Johannesburg City Council.

If nothing else, these two groups will be the base of the Liberal Party in the future.

"Next month, our Liberal Party will open a branch in Pretoria, how about it, do you want to attend the opening ceremony of the branch?" Owen seems to be jokingly inviting Roque.

"No, you go to Henry, and let Henry help you find someone to town." Roque doesn't want to be in the limelight, Pretoria is Henry's territory, and Roque is optimistic about his own one-third of an acre.

"The subsidy for the farmers has been distributed, on average each farmer gets 60 pounds, and the subsidy is in kind, 60 pounds, about ten cows, or 100 sheep." Owen flexes his muscles, and the subsidy Owen has secured for farmers around Johannesburg.

At this time, ten cows or a hundred sheep would certainly not be worth a hundred pounds, but no one cared about this, after all, the subsidies were given for free, and they were not loans that needed to be repaid, so the farmers around Johannesburg were very happy.

I have only seen officials ask for money, and this is the first time that they have taken the initiative to send money.

So the Chinese are really easy to satisfy.

"That's right, political parties should work for the welfare of party members, as long as this continues, when the democratic representative system begins, these people will be our hardcore votes." Roque was very proud, and the other time and space was very Louis Botha and Jan Smoth, who joined forces to monopolize the prime ministership for thirty years after the establishment of the Union of South Africa.

Don't think about this time and space, without the support of the Transvaal, the influence of Louis Botha and Jan Smuts has plummeted compared to another time and space, and the People's Party is expected to still win the election in Orange, but in the Transvaal, the People's Party has no chance.

Without the support of the Transvaal, Orange would have had little chance of forming a Union of South Africa.

The four regions of South Africa, the essence of the part are in the Cape and the Transvaal, in another time and space, the Boers control the Transvaal and Orange, and the strength is enough to fight against the Cape, this time and space Boers are finished, as long as they have the Transvaal and the Cape, the British and Chinese can suppress the Boers to the death.

"When it comes to the democratic representative system, I think we still have to be careful, because when the time comes, the voting rights of the Chinese part are estimated to have twists and turns." Irving's plan ahead, referencing the Cape and Natal, is indeed no precedent for people of color to be enfranchised.

However, this does not prevent the Chinese in the Transvaal from getting the right to vote, the Cape and Natal do not attach importance to the colored people, because the colored people in the Cape and Natal do not have the size of the Transvaal Chinese, if the colored people in the Cape and Natal can also own a large number of farms and can also form their own political parties, then the white people of the Cape and Natal will also value the rights of the colored people.

Therefore, racial discrimination is ultimately a matter of economic strength, and thousands of years before the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese also discriminated against everyone other than the Chinese, and at that time, all foreign populations were considered "barbarians" by the Chinese.

"It doesn't matter, whoever agrees and who doesn't agree when the time comes, you just tell me." Roque understated, but Owen could hear the chill in Roque's words.

The so-called best enemy is the dead enemy, Roque does not have much time to waste on the enemy now, James Herzog and De Witt are the best examples, Louis Botha and Jan Smuts if they dare to oppose Roque in the future, then their fate will also be miserable.

"Locke, don't be so violent, we have to get used to the rules to kill them." Owen doesn't approve of Roque using physical means to eliminate opponents, and if Roque develops such a habit, then Owen will shudder as well.

A very simple reasoning, if Roque is used to physically destroying opponents, then if one day Owen also becomes Roque's enemy, Owen will also be ruthlessly eradicated by Roque.

Relatively speaking, Owen still tends to solve problems within the scope of the rules, which may be a little troublesome and slow to work, but within the scope of the rules, everyone is safe.
