If Roque knew what Hoover was saying, then Roque would have replied: It really is necessary!

The so-called "equal emphasis on grace and power", lacking that aspect, will leave hidden dangers, Hoover people like Hoover are used to being foreign masters in the Qing Kingdom, lack of enough respect for the Chinese, if not to impress Hoover, Hoover will not obey Roque's orders.

It's best now, Hoover has seen Roque's ruthlessness, and Roque can get Hoover's greatest gratitude now even if he shows even a little kindness.

Some people are just cheap bones!

What's more, Roque doesn't want a simple miner, Roque's requirements are different from De Beers Unified Mining Company, and Roque also wants Hoover to train miners to a certain extent, so Roque will offer twice the price than De Beers Unified Mining Company.

Having Hoover sent back to his room, Roque asked the waiter to bring lunch to Phyllis.

As soon as the waiter left, Martin came over in a hurry: "Head, the people from the De Beers Unified Mining Company are here—"

De Beers Unified Mining Company!

Roque turned around, and two managers in suits and leather shoes stood at the door of the restaurant, one of them was Mike.

Roque smiled and nodded, and Martin immediately asked someone to come over.

"Hello, Inspector Locke, I'm Aiden Owen, general manager of the Johannesburg branch of De Beers Unified Mining—" Aiden offered to reach out.

"Hello Aiden, I'm Locke." Roque shook hands with Aiden and Mike respectively, at this time, don't show off the Pretoria Police Station anymore, there is no need, Aiden can find the door in such a short time, maybe he has already inquired about Roque's details.

In Cape, De Beers Unified Mining Company does have this energy.

Otherwise, Aiden would not be so polite to Roque, after all, there are many inspectors in Cape, but the inspector who can kill Joubert is the only one in the whole Cape.

"Sorry Inspector, our client has caused you trouble-" Aiden didn't sit down, looking at his surroundings, Aiden hesitated a little: "Can you change places, it's hot here-"

Is it hot?

Roque doesn't think at all, but it's better to change places, and Mike still has a box in his hand-

Then change places, Jinshan Hotel is full of organs, there is a small bar next to the restaurant, it is not yet business hours, the bartender has not worked, and it is very clean.

"I'm sorry about the morning, Mr. Rhodes asked me to apologize to you on his behalf, and invited you to be a guest at the De Beers Unified Mining Company at the right time, if we had more contact, the morning would not have happened at all." Aiden is also a combination of hard and soft.

The "Mr. Rhodes" that Aiden refers to is not former Prime Minister Cecil Rhodes, but his son Cecil Rhodes Jr., now the general manager of the De Beers Unified Mining Company.

Cecil Rhodes has been in poor health since escaping the Kimberley, and last month Cecil Rhodes was questioned by Parliament in London, which is investigating whether Cecil Rhodes had a direct connection to the outbreak of the Second Boer War.

If Congress can prove that Cecil Rhodes was directly responsible for the outbreak of the Second Boer War, then Cecil Rhodes may be unlucky, the British government has moved 440,000 regular troops for the Second Boer War, and the total cost is more than 100 million pounds, although the expeditionary force has occupied the Transvaal and Orange, but the Boers have not succumbed, and the end of the war is far away, and there must be someone responsible for all this.

That's why Aiden came to visit Roque.

At this critical time, Cecil Rhodes does not want a fire in the backyard, and Roque may not be able to give De Beers Unified Mining Company a fatal blow, but if Roque wants to find trouble with De Beers Unified Mining Company, it is not impossible, after all, in the Pretoria Police Department, Roque is already a senior official, and De Beers Unified Mining Company needs the cooperation of the Pretoria Police Department to maintain law and order in the mine.

What's more, in order to investigate whether Cecil Rhodes was at fault, the British Parliament is likely to send an investigation team to the Cape, and if Roque falls into the trap at that time, it may really deal a fatal blow to Cecil Rhodes.

When Aiden spoke, Roque was pouring wine, and when Aiden finished speaking, Roque was not in a hurry to respond, just looked at Aiden with a smile.

Aiden didn't speak either.

After ten seconds of silence—

Aiden sighed and nodded at Mike.

Mike placed the suitcase in his hand on the bar in front of Roque and opened it gently.

In the suitcase were two golden rhinoceros-

"Wow-" Roque expressed a modest surprise, but not too much surprise.

The density of gold is still quite large, and if these two rhinos are solid, then the weight is about ten kilograms.

Ten kilograms may sound like a lot, but when converted into pounds, it is more than 1,300 pounds.

More than a thousand pounds to buy Roque?

Look down on people, right?

What was De Beers Unified Mining's profit last year?

More than 10 million pounds!

Seeing that Roque's eyes were still cold, Aiden gritted his teeth and took out a check from his arms: "These two small toys are a gift from Mr. Rhodes to Inspector Locke, and this is Mr. Rhodes's apology to Miss Phyllis, I hope Miss Phyllis can forgive Mr. Hoover for his faux pas." ”

Roque glanced casually, £5,000!

This sincerity is still quite sufficient, and Roque smiled and raised his glass: "Mr. Hoover is in his room." ”

Aiden and Mike finally breathed a sigh of relief, and if £5,000 wasn't enough for Roque, then Aiden and Mike didn't know what to do.

In fact, it is easy to do, but directly killing a senior inspector is equivalent to directly declaring war on the government, not to mention, whether he can kill it or not is still two different things, Roque is the person who can kill Jobbel.

"After a while, we will also open the branch to Pretoria, and we will have to move around more when the time comes-" The big stone in Aiden's heart was finally put down, this is the reason why the De Beers Unified Mining Company is rampant in Cape, if the relationship is not in place, it must be a lack of sincerity.

"Well, in a while, Johannesburg will also set up a police station, and we have a lot of opportunities to deal with each other." Roque also reciprocated, everyone makes money, there is no need to blow up like a hedgehog.

The group had a glass of wine together, Aiden and Mike went to Hoover, and Roque went to Phyllis with the golden rhinoceros and check.

Since Aiden made it clear that the check was for Phyllis, then Roque would not have taken it privately, and if it weren't for Phyllis's aristocratic background, Aiden would not have spared no expense.

Don't forget to dig wells!

Phyllis was eating lunch when she saw the golden rhinoceros in Roque's hand and almost bit her tongue.

"Where did it come from?" Like Henry, Phyllis is also a money junkie, especially gold, and has no resistance to it, and Roque suspects that if Aiden gave the rhinoceros directly to Phyllis just now, then Phyllis might have forgiven Hoover directly.

Then there would be no later checks.

"De Beers Unified Mining Company gave it to me, this is for you—" Roark handed the check to Phyllis.

Phyllis didn't even look at the check: "Let's exchange-"

It's-

Is it so generous?
