African Nationhood

Although it is not summer in Cape Town in October, unlike most places in the interior of South Africa, the temperature here has risen and it often rains.

There are no defenses against Chinese here, and they can enter at will. This convenience is due to Governor Milner's proactive flattery.

Governor Milner had become an official enemy in London. He could no longer leave Cape Town. The colonial secretary in the cabinet had given him the go-ahead.

This position is his tenure, don't think about changing it.

……

In order to have an easier time in Cape Town, Governor Milner had to go to Prime Minister Ouyang Geng with a shameless face and take the initiative to ask for trade with Nanhua.

The reason why he is so humble is that the potential of Cape Town as a city is too limited and there are no precious metal mines here.

The only thing this city can rely on is its superior location. However, with the opening of the Suez Canal, there are basically no ships passing through here, so it can be said that it has nothing to offer.

In order to attract foreign investment, Nanhua has opened up investment restrictions for British foreigners. Foreigners can invest in railway transportation, mining and various factories in Nanhua.

All the powerful businessmen in Cape Town flocked to Nanhua, or invested in the two major offices in Cape and Natal under the control of Nanhua.

Cape Town is gradually hollowing out. Governor Milner, who cannot be promoted and cannot make money from Cape Town, is naturally anxious.

So he approached Prime Minister Ouyang Geng and asked Nanhua to give him and Cape Town some opportunities.

Prime Minister Ouyang Geng then had an in-depth discussion with him, and the two agreed on some terms.

1. Cape Town has zero tariffs on Nanhua’s goods.

2. There are no restrictions on the entry of South Chinese into Cape Town.

3. Cape Town provides tax incentives to companies established by South Chinese people.

4. South Chinese are allowed to enter all industries in Cape Town without any restrictions.

5. The two sides have carried out in-depth cooperation on drug trafficking and criminal activities. Crimes involving Nanhua people can only be handed over to Nanhua for trial and disposal.

……

Governor Milner's eyelids jumped when he saw these clauses. Is Cape Town still British?
How did Cape Town become a colony of South China?
However, no matter how angry he is, he can only endure it silently. If Nanhua doesn't give him a chance, Cape Town will only gradually decline and become worthless. What awaits him then is endless sinking.

In order to attract resources and people from South China, Cape Town became a tourist city and business city.

Cape Town has zero tariffs on South China goods, so many South China businessmen like to come here to set up companies and then trade with the local British.

In this way, you can not only enjoy the tax benefits of the direct colonies, but also export goods to the British mainland at low tax rates.

……

Wen Zixuan and his wife had just stepped off the train station. They looked at the numerous passengers and the sun hanging high in the sky and sighed.

They stopped and waited for the passengers to finish before they left.

Wen Zixuan carefully asked how his wife was doing, whether she was tired, and whether she wanted to drink water.

The wife smiled and shook her head, and waited for a while until most of the passengers in the station were gone before they started to leave the station.

……

The husband and wife are both from the Nanhua generation, and now they have become the main force in building Nanhua.

They were not all aborigines of Hanking before. Wen Zixuan's hometown is Fushui District, while his wife is from Liyuan District.

The two of them belong to the group of people who study well. They successfully passed the examination for studying abroad after graduating from secondary schools.

When they returned from their studies, they happened to catch up with the great industrial development of Nanhua.

Wen Zixuan was able to work at the Harbin Arsenal, while his wife was only an administrator at a food factory in Liyuan District at that time. If there were no accidents, they would have never crossed paths in this life.

Later, Nanhua defeated the British and introduced automobile production lines.

Both of them were transferred to the newly established Hanking Automobile Factory, and there was still no intersection between them. After all, Wen Zixuan was only an engineer, while his wife was still an administrative employee.

Their lives intersected because the factory had a full-time deputy director in charge of the marriage issues of young men and women.

Then the two of them were matched as a couple, and their lives became more and more prosperous after they got married.

But the problem that arises is that if you want to provide a better life for your wife and children, you can no longer rely on wages.

It happened that Nanhua Automobile Factory was looking for sales managers within the factory, requiring solid skills, hard work, and dedication.

Wen Zixuan immediately thought about it, and after discussing with his wife, he decided to give it a try.

Nanhua Automobile Factory has recently developed a new mini car.

The engine of this kind of mini car only has more than 40 horsepower. It is a tricycle with a hood and a back seat. It can seat three people. The engine is pedaled like a motorcycle. The price is not high and it is very popular.

Wen Zixuan's technical questions during the interview were basically not difficult and he passed easily. The factory leaders recognized Wen Zixuan very much after checking his file.

Then we discussed with him, "Xiao Wen, our factory is very prosperous, and sales are very hot everywhere.

But in the UK and European markets, we lack sales personnel to open up the market.

If you were transferred to Europe, would you be willing?

We implement a commission system for our sales staff. The more you sell, the more you earn. "

Hearing this, Wen Zixuan shook his head, "My wife is pregnant and my family is not here, so I can't leave my wife and go to Europe to develop the market."

The leader thought for a while, "How about Cape Town? It's not far from the mainland and has a suitable climate.

You and your wife can work there together. You will serve as the sales manager, and your wife can help you with some writing work. "

Wen Zixuan was very satisfied with this arrangement, "Okay, boss, I am willing to go to Cape Town."

After the agreement was reached, Wen Zixuan and his wife packed their bags and got on the train to Cape Town.

……

When they arrived at the station, they saw the people who greeted them. Wen Zixuan and his wife followed the greeters and got into the car and headed towards Table Mountain Long Street.

When he arrived at the sales office on Table Mountain Long Street, Wen Zixuan immediately discovered that the sales office here was unreasonably set up.

This place is located in an alley of Long Street. It is a bit far away from Long Street, so it is not a suitable location for sales. This site can only be used as a warehouse.

So after he settled his wife down, he took the early arrivals to Table Mountain Long Street to select a new business store.

After selection, Wen Zixuan chose a storefront with a very open front facing the street, and then negotiated with the boss.

The boss is an elderly British man. He has been here for many years. Now that he is old, he wants to sell the property here and return to the UK to retire.

Because of the South African War, Cape Town was in rapid decline, which caused his property here to be unable to be sold.

In addition, this place has a large storefront and is in a somewhat remote location. When he sold it at a reduced price, few people took notice. Now, finally, people are coming to buy it, and the boss is very enthusiastic.

After negotiations between the two parties, they finally spent 800% of Cape Town's peak house price to buy a large -square-meter facade.

Wen Zixuan went to Cape Town to transfer the property on behalf of the other owners, and then led the sales office employees to decorate and decorate the new facade.

Next comes the actual sales work. (End of chapter)
