The South African Company, which lost its administrative power over Nyasaland in 1904; In 1923 and 1924, it lost its administrative power over North and South Rhodesia, retaining only the commercial monopoly, and by 1965, the South African company ceased to exist.

Although the South African company in this time and space has also lost Nyasaland, its strength has increased instead of decreasing compared with another time and space, and its individual strength is second to none in southern Africa.

In terms of overall economic strength, Nyasaland crushed Rhodesia, but Roque was very clever in creating a whole bunch of companies, instead of putting them all together, and the result was a bunch of companies in Nyasaland, hidden behind South African companies and inconspicuous, not even as good as Favalt Steel Group.

When it comes to monopolies, in addition to steel, there are two or three outstanding companies competing with each other in any field in southern Africa, and Favart Steel Group is the real trust in Southern Africa.

"After the spin-off, the South African company will cease to exist and will be replaced by the Rhodesia company, like the Nyasaland company, the Rhodesia company is responsible for the investment, the Rhodesia bank is engaged in finance, the Rhodesia food is canned, the Rhodesia Mineral Resources company mines the mines, the Rhodesia railway company - oh, the railway company is also gone, and it will be called the United Railway Company in the future." Little Si laughed, his eyes reddened.

The South African company was founded by Cecil Rhodes, but it was to end in the hands of Xiao Si, and Xiao Si's mood can be imagined.

"Cecil, you don't have to be like this at all-" Roque could understand Xiao Si's mood, remembering that old Cecil asked Roque to take care of Xiao Si like he was dying, and Roque felt uncomfortable.

"Locke, I don't want to embarrass you, the existence of the South African company was originally an accident, and it's time to end it." Xiao Si took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.

It can be said that the South African company is a special historical product of a special period, and it can be regarded as a historical legacy, and it is not a bad thing to spin it off now.

"And you don't have to worry, even if the South African company is spun off, Rhodesia will still be the Rhodesia of the Rhodes family, and it will still be the best ally of Nyasaland." Xiao Si is confident that the Rhodes family has been operating in Rhodesia for decades, and this confidence is still there.

"Well, haven't you always wanted to set up an arsenal? I sold you Milner's arsenal. "Roque is generous, since Xiao Si is so cooperative, Roque also has to say something.

The military industry in southern Africa has always been Roque's taboo, and the federal government cannot interfere.

Xiao Si wanted to get involved in the military industry a long time ago, but unfortunately Roque did not agree, and Xiao Si has not been able to do so.

"Ha, are you trying to sell off non-performing assets? Think beautifully! "Xiao Si is not fooled, after the end of the world war, the military industry in southern Africa was basically in a state of stagnation, and the arsenal was forced to transform into the production of civilian goods, but the transformation was not going well, and now the military industry is in a difficult situation.

"Don't forget it-" Roque was breezy and calm, completely letting down the last shred of vigilance towards Xiao Si.

If Xiao Si agrees to Roque's proposal just now, then Roque's evaluation of Xiao Si will be lowered by one level.

In the past, Luo Ke and Xiao Si had an unwritten agreement, Xiao Si was deeply involved in the food industry, and Luo Ke developed the military industry, and it was clear that they would not interfere with each other.

Now if Xiao Si gets involved in the military industry, then Luo Ke will have enough reasons to get involved in the food industry, and it is really hard to say who will suffer and who will take advantage at that time.

"If you really want to restructure your assets and sell Nyasaland Heavy Industries to me." Xiao Si is also ambitious and doesn't want to make canned food all day.

"You want to build a car?" Roque was surprised, he didn't expect Xiao Si to think so.

After the spin-off of Nyasaland Automotive Group, it was formed into Nyasaland Automotive and Nyasaland Heavy Industries.

Roque's original intention is that the two companies compete with each other, promote each other, and develop together.

It looks good now, but both companies are Roque Holdings, and they always feel that they have not played a full role.

"Your intentions are correct, but unfortunately Nyasaland Motors and Nyasaland Heavy Industries have not done enough, haven't you found out? Nyasaland Automotive Group is mainly cars and trucks, while Nyasaland Heavy Industries is off-road and pickup, and there is no real competition between them, in fact, there is a tacit understanding. "Xiao Si is a bystander, and if his brothers fight, he will definitely not kill him.

Roque was silent, and when he thought about it, it was true.

"Okay, I'll sell you Nyasaland Heavy Industries." Roque made up his mind.

"Hahahaha, how much?" Xiao Si was generous, took out the checkbook from his pocket and threw it in front of Roque, letting Roque make a price.

"Is there a rand on you?" Roque smiled, he would not forget that Xiao Si had sold Nyasaland to him for a pound.

That was the beginning of Roque's real beginnings.

Xiao Si's eyes instantly turned red.

Entering June, several major events occurred in the three northern states that could change the future of southern Africa.

The first is the federal government to take the lead in uniting all the railway companies in southern Africa to form a joint railway company to restructure the Southern African Railway.

Then came the decision of the Rhodes family, which had been entrenched in Rhodesia for decades, to spin off the South African company, which was split into 12 independent independent enterprises, and the last colonial behemoth in southern Africa came to an end.

Then there was Roque's decision to sell part of the business of Nyasaland Heavy Industries and Nyasaland Airlines to Rhodesia Automobile and Rhodesia Airlines under the name of Xiao Si, and the monopoly of Nyasaland enterprises in the automotive industry and aviation industry in southern Africa also came to an end, and Rhodesia Automobile announced on July 1 that it would launch more than ten brands including sedans, off-road, pickups, trucks, buses, and agricultural vehicles by the end of the year, and compete with Nyasaland Automobile and Nyasaland Heavy Industries in an all-round way.

"You and Cecil are roasting me on a fire—" Henry was upset with Roque and Small, and after the spin-off of the South African company, the only monopolistic company in southern Africa was the Favart Steel Group.

"No, don't think too pretty, the Australian company and Iron Four Corners have decided to mine iron ore in Australia and Brazil, and Haut-Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd. has also set up a subsidiary specializing in the production of special steel, and your good days are over." Roque is fierce, the Southern African Big Three, both of which are constantly improving, and Henry can't stand still.

"Whatever you guys, there is one thing I forgot to tell you, Favalt Steel Group has just discovered a huge iron ore and aluminum ore in French Guinea, do you want to develop it together?" Henry didn't worry too much, after 20 years of iron ore mining in southern Africa, the output and grade are declining, the mining cost is gradually increasing, and Henry also has to look for new mineral resources.

French Guinea has the world's largest aluminium and iron mines, a fact that the French government does not have.

However, at the beginning of the 20th century, a large-scale armed uprising against France broke out in French Guinea, which has not subsided until now, and it is not easy to mine mines.

"No, just be happy." Roque is not involved, the iron ore in the Iron Four Corners and the Pilbara area are shallow and can be mined directly in the open pit, so Roque does not go to the French colony to join in the fun.

To put it mildly, mining iron ore in French Guinea now is tantamount to a blood transfusion to France, although France has changed its ambassador to the League of Nations, but Roque is a person who holds grudges, and when France's colonial rule in Guinea completely collapses and France abandons Guinea, it is not too late for Roque to mine iron ore and aluminum ore in Guinea.

"No, I'm Gavin and Alvin's uncle, you can't leave it alone." Henry was dumbfounded for an instant, without Roque's help, there was a mountain of gold buried under the ground of French Guinea, and Henry couldn't dig it up.

The most powerful force in Roque's hands is not the RAND Bank or the Nyasaland Corporation, but the paramilitaries of Umbrella and Delta.

It should be said that the delta is still almost now, although the umbrella is nominally a security company, in fact, there are tens of thousands of mercenaries in the registered place, and it is effortless to pull up one or two divisions at any time.

The current situation in French Guinea is very chaotic, and in order to develop the iron ore mines in French Guinea, it is necessary to build railways first, and to ensure that the railways are not destroyed, which can only be done by a strong armed force.

"Seriously, I suggest you move the factories in Favart to other places, your factories are too polluted, and now even Pretoria has been affected, if you want me to say, just move directly to the side of Walvis Bay, and the iron ore will be smelted on the spot, saving time, labor and costs, what do you think?" Roque doesn't care, Henry has also been angry and resentful all these years, and he has to accumulate some virtue for the children.

Favart was Henry's fiefdom, and the federal government had no right to interfere, which gave Henry the greatest convenience.

Roque has always opened a factory in Nyasaland with great attention to environmental protection and reducing environmental pollution as much as possible.

Therefore, although the heavy industry in Nyasaland is developed, the pollution problem caused by it is not serious, which also indirectly improves the environmental protection level of Nyasaland, and the University of Nyasaland has now opened a major in environmental protection to conduct in-depth research on environmental protection.

In contrast to Roque, Henry was unscrupulous at Favart, not only using African-American workers at will to save costs, but also not thinking about environmental protection at all.

When Roque passed through Favarte by train, he could clearly feel that the air quality in Favarte was very bad, and the sky was always gray and the visibility was very low.

"It doesn't cost money to relocate the factory? What about this part of the cost? "Henry's first thought was cost.

This can't be blamed on Henry, a lot of heavy industries under Roque's name need Favalt Steel Group to provide raw materials for production, Roque and Henry's relationship, Henry can't make too much money, how can he do it without reducing costs.

After all, there are tens of thousands of people who rely on Favalt Steel Group for food.
