Sometimes the so-called experience of businessmen is really deadly.

In the traditional saying of businessmen, the price is overwhelmed and the money is repaid on the spot, which is not wrong in itself, but it depends on who is right.

Roque's current status and status, simply talking about money itself is a bit unacceptable, and the sincerity is still like that, which is inevitably too much to look at people's dishes.

Therefore, when Chang Zimu was very "politely" asked out of the Nyasa state government, he realized that he had made a mistake.

Then he wanted to increase the size but had no chance, and Roque didn't have so much time to be vain.

"Haven't you always taken good care of the Chinese? Jianyuan Trading Co., Ltd. is very good among Chinese enterprises, and it is still very valuable. "Ida has been staying in Nyasaland for this time, and Ade is not happy with the tax situation in Nyasaland.

Since the beginning of the arms race in Europe, everyone knows that Nyasaland has made a lot of profits in the arms race, especially as the Nyasaland Air Group began to sell "Strong Wind" on a large scale to the outside world, driving the products of the Nyasaland Military Industrial Group to sell well, and Italy has just signed an arms contract worth 2 million pounds with the Nyasaland Military Industrial Group.

Not only weapons, but also Italians, who have romantic blood in their bones, are very sought-after for many products in Nyasaland, as well as the glitzy and extravagant Ottoman royal family, in these two latest orders, cars, motorcycles, all kinds of luxury goods produced by Itno, all kinds of food produced by South African companies, and even textiles produced by Johannesburg Textile Company, and all kinds of special drugs produced by Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company are impressively listed.

The problem arises that the federal government does not receive much tax revenue for these goods exported from Nyasaland, and even the textiles of the Johannesburg Textile Company and the special drugs of the Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company are also exported through Nyasaland, so Ade must be very dissatisfied.

Ida is the current director of the General Administration of Taxation, so this task falls to Ida, if Nyasaland's tax revenue cannot be raised to a new level, it is estimated that Ida will be difficult to pay.

"It's just a company, maybe a larger enterprise, but it doesn't have greater ambitions, it doesn't have enough capacity, and its value is limited after all, not to mention why do you think Jianyuan Trading Co., Ltd. is so eager to come to Nyasaland? A mere £1.5 million can be used as a bet? Christian now invests more than $3 million in the East Indies. "Roque can't look down on it, it's not that there is more money and less money, or the pattern is not enough.

In fact, in the case of the East Indies, if the Chinese in the East Indies could have more blood and courage, it would be very difficult for the Dutch to maintain their colonial rule in the East Indies.

Up to now, the Dutch colonial rule in the East Indies has been maintained for more than 200 years, and the Chinese in the East Indies have dropped from half of the population to one-fifth now, so the Chinese in the East Indies are indeed pitiful, but the poor people must have something to hate, but if the Chinese in the East Indies can unite and be tougher, they will not be slaughtered.

Luo Ke does take care of the Chinese, but the medicine does not die and the disease does not die, and the Buddha is destined to be a person, so he is really muddy and can't be on the wall, and Luo Ke will not be strong.

"Chang doesn't belong to the Huang family after all, and the decisions he can make are very limited, even if the members of the Huang family are here, it always takes a process to make up his mind." Ida still tried his best, not only because of the 100,000 pounds, but with the help of the Huang family, then the East India Company should have won more quickly.

After all, Roque's focus is still on Southern Africa, not on the East Indies, thousands of miles away.

"Then wait for the people of the Huang family to come, but the Medan troops should have launched an attack on Batavia by now, and the Huang family is betting now, I'm afraid it's too late." Roque sneered, it is said that the businessman's sense of touch should be very sharp, and if he can't make a correct judgment in time, then he can only wait for death.

To put it mildly, the situation in the East Indies is the subversion of the old vested interest groups by the new class, and since Huang Zhonghan can now serve as the "horse waist", then he belongs to the old vested interest class, which is in conflict with the interests of the Medan army itself.

What's more, now that the Huang family has such a strong power in the East Indies, if Roque easily accepts Jianyuan Trading Co., Ltd. now, then it is foreseeable that after the war is over and the Dutch are driven away, the strength of the Huang family will further expand, and who can control Jianyuan Trading Co., Ltd. in East India at that time?

It is estimated that Li Wan and Ling Zhi will not work.

In the East Indies, although Li Wan and Ling Zhi are also successful businessmen, the concept of "success" and the "success" of the Huang family are definitely two different things, compared with Jianyuan Trading Co., Ltd., Li Wan and Ling Zhi's strength is probably equivalent to the strength of an ordinary farmer in Johannesburg and the Viscount of Nyasaland, there is no comparison at all.

"Attacked?" Ida was surprised that the speed of the Medan troops was indeed a bit fast.

"Yes." Roch smiled, Ida probably didn't understand the extent of the East Indies' armaments.

It was indeed a waste of armaments, and while Roque and Ida were chatting, Hicks was receiving prisoners on the outskirts of Batavia.

It cannot be said that the Dutch did not work hard, and in order to defend Batavia, the Dutch mobilized nearly 40,000 troops to lay an "iron wall" in Silang, trying to prevent the landing of the Medan troops.

It's a pity that the Dutch troops have no artillery, and even if they do, these hastily enlisted colonial servant troops will not use it, and the Far Eastern Fleet was lost in the previous gap, so the Medan troops easily broke through the defense line of the colonial servant army and landed from Siloen, and Hicks's troops received about 10,000 East Indian servant prisoners in three days.

"This can't even be called an army, not even the most basic weapons, look at what they are equipped with? What kind of knife is this? Count on this to compete with our general-purpose machine guns—" Middleton shook his head with a pipe in his mouth, saying that the tobacco in the East Indies was pretty good.

Because it was a hasty army, the East Indian colonial government simply did not have enough weapons and armed forces, so many soldiers of the East Indian Servant Army actually used that kind of rudimentary long knives, which made Middleton cry and laugh.

Mercenaries also have self-esteem, and it is good that the enemy is weak, but if it is weak to a certain extent, it will make Middleton feel insulted.

Really, the umbrella is also fighting from Africa to the Near East, and then to the Far East, and sending such troops to defend, how much should we look down on people.

"It doesn't matter what kind of knife he is, how many people have he arrested this time?" Hicks doesn't care about the enemy's equipment, only how many people are caught, and these people can be sold to Andy without execution.

"I don't know, it's dense all over the place anyway." Middleton was not angry.

"What's up man? Be happy, we're making money again! Hicks laughed, and every captive was ten pounds, and the boy was not deceived.

"Nothing, I'm just curious, the Dutch are so weak, why don't the East Indians resist?" Middleton really couldn't figure it out, and during this time, as his understanding of the East Indies deepened, Middleton's doubts became more and more numerous.

They are also Chinese, in southern Africa, the Chinese can show strength and bravery, in the East Indies, the Chinese are weak and incompetent, which makes Middleton really puzzled.

"What's so strange that if it weren't for the Lord, what do you think we would be like in Southern Africa?" Hicks knew more about the history of the Chinese in southern Africa, and his expression became cold: "——When the Lord had just arrived in Johannesburg, he rescued some Chinese from a gold mine, most of them were skinny, severely malnourished, and could die at any time, these people were sent to Mr. Barker's farm to recuperate, and the Lord found them a doctor, and many of them unfortunately died, they died before dawn in Johannesburg, and since then, the Chinese have never been bullied in Southern Africa. ”

"How do you know that clearly?" Middleton asked casually, in fact, this history is also described in the Nyasaland Museum, and Middleton has also visited it, but the impression left by the docent on Middleton at that time must not be as deep as Hicks.

Although the narrator is more vocal and emotional, as if immersive.

"One of those miners is my father—" Hicks smiled, tears glistening in his eyes: "—so you know now that I will not betray the Lord no matter what, and if one day the Lord needs me to give my life, I will not hesitate!" ”

Middleton opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything, so he slapped Hicks on the shoulder, trying to comfort him.

"Although I have no children, but my brother has a family in Bechuana, my brother now has a son and a daughter, my brother and sister are pregnant again, and there will be more children in the future, I bought my brother a 2,000-acre farm, a full 12,000 acres, my father and my brother are now living on the farm, and they are thinking about sending their children to Ziwei College in the future, and when I retire, even if I have no children, my brother will support me-" Hicks is really carefree, like Hicks's situation, The umbrella company doesn't know how many.

"I also asked my wife to go to Bechuana to buy a farm, and we will be neighbors in the future." Middleton was reluctant to let go of his old man, otherwise Middleton would have returned to Nyasaland to reunite with his wife and children by now.

"Hahahaha, don't even think about it, my farm is in Rhodes City, you may not know it yet, all the farms around Rhodes City have been sold out, and you can't buy it even if you spend money now." Hicks was triumphant, and the farm was a scarce commodity at all times.

"Then buy it in the East Indias, and we will buy 10,000 acres each, grow sugar cane, grow coffee, grow tobacco leaves, and hire 10,000 East Indians to work for us." Middleton has ideals, it doesn't matter if there are no spare farms in Southern Africa, there are still in the East Indies, and there will be more in the future.
