Buenos Aires.
Rhodes, the boss of Rhodes Company, is calculating the recent revenue, and judging by the corners of his mouth, the company's business this month is still very prosperous.
Rhodes is a British immigrant, sharing the same name as the boss of the South African De Beers Mining Company, but the two chose different paths.
Despite losing most of its area to East Africa, South African mining is still very promising, but the De Beers Mining Company cannot become the giant it was in the past, nor can the Rhodesia colony from the past be established.
Rhodes from Argentina, also from Britain, clearly found more promise in developing the livestock industry in Argentina.
Of course, being British, Rhodes did not choose to be a farmer, but instead used his identity and British family connections to engage in trade between Argentina and the United Kingdom.
