The city of Johannesburg now collects more than 100,000 pounds a month, but these taxes should be kept in the part that London deserves, and the part that is left to the city of Johannesburg is about 100,000 pounds a year.
In these years, hiring a professor at Oxford University is about 1,000 pounds a year, 100,000 pounds, and you can hire almost 100 professors from Oxford University.
Now there are less than a hundred professors at Oxford, so you can imagine how ecstatic Phyllis is.
"Really? Can I really spend my income at Ziwei College? Phyllis couldn't believe her ears.
"Yes, you can use it at your disposal, if the income of Ziwei Public School is not enough to spend, you can also expand the size of the school, you know, the current Ziwei Public School, the teaching facilities are not fully utilized, if you want, you can appropriately expand the scale of Ziwei Public School." Roque appropriately delegated power, and even if the current Ziwei Public School doubled in size, it still had a steady stream of students, and the enthusiasm of white people in education was no less than that of Chinese.
"It's all yours, whatever you want." Roque is very generous, 100,000 pounds a year, and Roque doesn't care about it at all, that is, to earn some pocket money for Phyllis.
Phyllis was overjoyed, and shrunk into Roque's arms, 50,000 pounds was not a small number, and it could double the size of Ziwei School.
Of course, Phyllis is actually very clear that scarcity is expensive, and now the indicators of Ziwei Public School are sought after, which does not mean that Ziwei Public School is irreplaceable, and the expansion of the scale is still to ensure the quality of teaching, which is the fundamental reason why parents are willing to pay money.
One hundred pounds a year, even if it is in the UK, this price is not cheap, this year there are also aristocratic schools in Cape Town to start enrollment, although their teaching quality can not be compared with Ziwei School, but if the cost gap is too large, it is still enough to compete with Ziwei School.
"Don't be too happy too early, Ziwei School is in the spotlight now, you have to be careful not to smash the signboard of Ziwei School." Roque still reminded that it is not easy to establish a brand, but it is very simple to smash a brand.
"Don't worry, Ziwei Public School is only a primary school now, and Ziwei Public School needs a middle school next, and I will definitely be strict." Phyllis is full of confidence, and the current Ziwei Public School is far from the requirements of Roque and Phyllis.
A long time ago, Roque described to Phyllis the requirements for education, the Transvaal, and indeed the whole of southern Africa, in terms of education, lagging behind the mainland by at least 20 years, to catch up with the local country in a short period of time, in addition to continuous investment, it will take several generations of efforts.
Roque is not going to cultivate unborn geniuses now, but more to solve the problem of basic talents, continue to spend money, can solve hardware problems, and still have no strength to solve software problems, but Roque is not superstitious about the human environment, within ten or eight years, Roque only hopes to improve the framework structure, and more aspects will be slowly added.
In mid-April, Arnold arrived in Johannesburg.
Phyllis is very worried about the relationship between Roque and Arnold, and for the sake of Phyllis's mood, Roque promises Phyllis that as long as Arnold does not take the initiative to cause trouble, Roque will never target Arnold.
Arnold also seems to have forgotten the unpleasantness that happened with Roque before, and when he met Roque, he apologized to Roque for not being able to attend Roque and Phyllis's wedding, and sent "most sincere" wishes to Roque and Phyllis by the way.
Roque looked at Arnold's smiling expression, and knew a little about Arnold's mood.
Phyllis and Owen don't think so, they still hope that Arnold and Roque can get along peacefully.
After all, we are all family.
"Locke, I know you have had unpleasantness before, but believe me, Arnold is not the Arnold he used to be now, he has learned from the pain, he will not make the same mistakes as before, give him a chance, just give me and Phyllis a face." Owen was very humble in the face of Roque, after all, he and Arnold were brothers of the same mother, and it was impossible to abandon Arnold completely.
"Don't worry about Owen, I'm not a person with a small belly, if Arnold can really change his ways, of course I'm willing to accept Arnold." Roque's promise was also conditional, but unfortunately Owen didn't seem to notice.
Phyllis was so happy to hear this that she didn't even want to speak, she hugged Roque's arm and put her head on Roque's shoulder, infinitely attached to Roque.
In this situation, how could Roque say cruel things.
In the evening, when Philip had dinner at his house, the topic naturally turned to the National Party.
"I hesitated when Henry Alsop asked me to be the chairman of the National Party, but I have to admit that the temptation of the president of the National Party was still very great, and I could not refuse." Arnold seemed to be sincere, and Arnold would definitely not say such things before.
Roque and Owen looked at each other and didn't speak, and the current situation of the National Party is also well known, and it is indeed not a good choice for Arnold to come back as the chairman of the National Party at this time.
Philip was very attentive, and put down the knife and fork in his hand as he spoke: "I have no objection to you associating with Henry Alsop, but you must know that the current situation is different from your previous friendship, the diagnosis and treatment are very cruel, and if you decide to get involved, then be prepared to fail." ”
Philip probably knew that if the National Party and the Liberal Party competed head-on, Roque and Owen would never be soft, which was also different from family affection, the winner was the king and the loser was the loser, Arnold returned to Johannesburg without consulting anyone, and if Philip knew, he would definitely not let Arnold come back.
"Of course, I understand that Johannesburg is just a pilot, in any case, the current contradiction between the National Party and the Liberal Party should not affect the process of democratic representation, if there is no National Party, there will be other parties, so the emergence of the National Party is not a bad thing, this is also part of the democratic representative system." Arnold made Roque simply impressed, and Arnold in the past would never say such a reasonable thing.
"Well, you understand—" Philip didn't talk any more, glancing at Arnold with suspicion, and finally put the matter on hold for the time being.
Roque certainly did not put it aside, and after eating, Roque came to the balcony to chat with Owen and Henry, and Arnold came over with a glass of wine to join in the fun.
"The democratic representative system is a cover, and southern Africa is a burden for London, so London can't wait to get rid of southern Africa, and the Johannesburg pilot is dispensable, so don't take it too seriously." Roque is not optimistic about the prospects of democratic representative institutions, and it is difficult to say what the future holds.
Of course, if it goes further, Roque can also directly explain the prospects of democratic representative system, but unfortunately Henry and Owen will most likely not believe it, so Roque is too lazy to say, let the facts prove it.
"Locke, you're too pessimistic!" Owen has full confidence in democratic representation.
"Actually, it's good now, unless we can be as self-governing as Canada and Australia, then democratic representative system is really meaningless." Henry's views were even more radical, thanks to Roque's years of brainwashing.
"No, democratic representation is definitely a huge improvement over the colonial system, it's the best option at the moment, we don't have a better alternative." Arnold couldn't wait to express his opinion as soon as he came up.
Roque didn't speak, leaning against the railing and slowly shaking the wine glass in his hand.
Owen wanted to speak, but was reminded by Henry's eyes, so he simply pulled a chair over and sat down.
"How have you been in London for the past two years?" Henry's words are pistols with sticks.
"Of course, there is no problem with food, drink and money, and to be honest, I would never have come back to Johannesburg in my life without Henry Alsop's invitation, but at different stages of life, we have to take on different roles at the same time." Arnold has really made progress during this time, and he can still say such philosophical words, although this logic is not very smooth.
"Let's be serious, Arnold, how are you going to lead the National Party?" Roque still couldn't help it after all, and the current Arnold was even more annoying to Roque than before.
To be honest, Roque is willing to face Arnold directly, so that Roque does not need to have any scruples about dealing with Arnold.
The current Arnold has made a lot of progress compared to before, and the former Arnold, Roque will be as emotionally unstable as a dynamite bag if he provokes a little.
Now Arnold's kung fu has made great progress, and when he was eating just now, if Roque provoked Arnold as if he was indifferent, Arnold could turn a blind eye, and then Roque had to restrain himself.
Arnold is stupid, Philip is not stupid, and Roque can't go too far, otherwise Philip will have an opinion on Roque.
"Ha, my chairman is in name, I don't have any rights at all, I know that the Liberal Party was founded by you and Owen, so I don't want to compete with you, we are a family, there is no need for infighting, just treat this as a game." Arnold said it easily, and Roque and Owen looked at each other, both of them actually having doubts in their eyes.
Owen didn't say anything about it, based on Roque's understanding of Arnold, Arnold is not such a good character.
"Arnold, I shouldn't have said anything, but I still remind you that no matter what time it is, we are all family." Henry couldn't help but remind, the tendency is also obvious, don't look at Henry and Arnold as brothers, but in terms of feelings, the relationship between Henry and Arnold is really not as deep as the relationship with Roque.
"I know, my dear brothers, of course I will remember this-" Arnoldpi smiled and said in a gloomy voice.
Roque is really annoying!
