British 1986

In the next two days, Allen asked Ceylon to step up the collection of information to see what Thatcher was up to.

Why didn't he talk to the informant at first?

He didn't believe that Thatcher would give in so quickly.

Allen used himself to save others, and he was prepared to take the initiative when Thatcher didn't respond.

However, an unexpected person comes to visit, disrupting Allen's plans.

"Sir, long time no see. How are you? This is a small gift, please accept it!"

Hurt, the commissioner of the Department of Noble Affairs, has not seen him for a long time since Allen asked him to help with the cooperative business development in Gambia.

Now when we meet again, Hurt has obviously gained weight, and is more polite, and even knows how to take the initiative to give him gifts.

Although it is just a small hollow gold-headed ornament of average quality, it has fulfilled its purpose.

Allen put down his pen and rubbed his eyebrows. He was revising his essay just now, preparing to continue to write to Thatcher.

He pointed to the chair in front of the desk and asked Hurt to sit down first.

Allen twisted his neck, picked up Xiao Huang who was about to attack Hutt, held him in his arms and stroked the cat's head.

"I haven't seen you for a while. Got a promotion?"

"Haha, thanks to your luck, I have been promoted a little bit."

Hurt stretched out his little finger and made a winking gesture.

It's amazing. When the two met for the first time, Allen was upset at the time. He blocked him on the road and almost asked the old man at home to shoot him to death. Later, the glass of Hurt's car was broken, The broken car with all its tires drove out of Carmarthenshire like a desperate man, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

That incident left a very deep impression on him, but thinking about it after several years, he can still laugh and talk in front of this Excellency. Isn't this luck? !

"What do you want to see me for? Tell me?"

Allen felt that he didn't seem to have much interaction with the Ministry of Noble Affairs now. Only the Gambia side was operated in their name.

"Well, it's like this. I didn't need to come this time, but some people didn't dare to come to see you. In the end, the job fell on me."

Hurt didn't rush to say anything. Instead, he complained that none of his colleagues were willing to come, and it would be his turn in the end.

But this word

There is also a little bit of showing off and pursuit, which proves that he has some friendship with Earl Allen and can talk well.

"Ah"

Allen smiled, but he didn't reveal Hurt's words, man.

Don't be afraid if there are conflicts. Let's talk it out. If everyone can have common interests, then we can reconcile.

Allen knocked on the table and said with a smile: "You came to me this time, you are not in a hurry to talk about things, you want me to let you eat."

"Ah, thank you for your invitation, I won't stay."

Although Allen was joking, Hurt really didn't dare to stay.

After inking for a long time, Hutt said softly: "Sir, have you paid attention to the recent international news?"

"How can I have time to pay attention to international news? A few days ago, someone scolded me in the newspaper. I am usually so busy, so I took the little time left to respond to her. I don't care about the rest!"

"Well"

Seeing that Allen was in a good mood, Hurt thought about it for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, it's like this. Our nobles who have properties abroad will all divest their capital in the near future."

"Uh-huh?!"

Allen was playing with Xiao Huang and listening to Hurt's words. He just hummed and suddenly realized what he was doing.

Divest?

Why divest?

"You want me to withdraw my capital? Why? Where?"

Allen leaned forward slightly, ready to see what reasons Hut was going to tell him.

"Sir, what do the Americans criticize them for? They don't have freedom of speech. I don't know the details. Anyway, they just want to withdraw their investment in a unified way and impose sanctions and blockade them."

"???"

After hearing this, Allen immediately became angry.

"What the hell, Americans are criticizing others for not having freedom of speech? Why didn't they say anything when they removed my movie from the shelves some time ago? They have freedom of speech and want to remove my movie? Do you want to lose face?!"

Hut shrank his neck and Nono did not dare to speak.

"Ah?! Talk!"

"Your Excellency, this was not arranged by me, I was the one who sent the message."

Hurt was also aggrieved, but he was still a little lucky. If it had been someone else today, if the gentleman in front of him had been angry, he might have dared to kill someone with a gun.

"I do not care!"

Allen narrowed his eyes and stared at Hurt with a fierce expression: "I don't care how your Noble Affairs Department arranges it, don't order me, let the Americans eat shit! They can do whatever they want, but they are not qualified to order Me! I won’t listen either!”

Hurt's face became embarrassed and he looked confused: "Your Excellency, your property can be transferred to other places. There is no need for this."

"Fuck! Don't you understand me?"

Allen slapped his right hand hard on the desk. At this moment, the door to the study room suddenly opened, and the bodyguard on duty outside pointed at Hurt with a gun and a vigilant look on his face.

"Your Excellency! No, no, no. I am the messenger. It doesn't matter whether you listen or not, it doesn't matter!"

Hurt raised his hands honestly, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.

Allen waved to the two bodyguards to indicate that they were fine. After the study door was closed again, Allen leaned back and sighed longly: "I have hundreds of millions of pounds of investment in China. These It’s just money to buy equipment, build factories, train workers, thousands of workers, how big of a business does this add up to? I will withdraw if you ask me to? Is it possible?!”

"Those stupid Indians, let them play with these machines, will they do it? Besides being interested in things with holes, what else will they do? If they could, what would I have done?"

The more Allen thought about it, the angrier he became. Looking at Hurt who looked aggrieved, he would have really wanted to take it out on him if this kid hadn't been honest.

"Sir, don't be angry. Many nobles have complained, but this is all an arrangement from above, do you think?"

Hurt moved the camp in a very stupid way, and carefully comforted Allen.

"What am I looking at?! I don't look at it! Fuck the Yankees, let them die, go back and resurrect, just say I know, but I won't withdraw!"

"Your Mightiness."

Hurt stood up hesitantly. This was not a persuasion, but how could he go back with such words now?

Allen looked at Hurt with a sullen face and said: "Take my exact words back. Who asked to withdraw? Let them come and tell me in person. If it is the Yankees' idea, let them come and tell me! Look at it. Will I stick a 600mm torpedo in their mouths and sink them to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean?"

"."

Hurt swallowed and prepared to retreat very wisely. Seeing that Allen was getting more and more angry as he spoke, he was just a messenger, and there was no need to bear this kind of anger that did not belong to him here.

"Okay, I remember your Excellency, so I'm really sorry for disturbing you today."

Hurt stroked his chest and saluted very honestly, and the etiquette was so perfect that Allen watched him quietly exit the study without calling him.

After Hurt left, Allen waited for a few minutes before pulling the bell. When the servant outside the door came in, he said: "Ask Ceylon to come over."

Listening to Allen's brief description of what happened, Ceylon frowned and thought for a while before telling Allen about the international situation during the recent period.

It can be said that the situation has changed.

The United States needs to find new potential targets and then

Looking at the outside world, there are only a few big ones besides "our own people".

This is the current situation.

As for the need for Western capital to divest, this is also somewhat affected by the United States.

They both had a falling out, and many people had to be implicated.

What are blockades and sanctions?

Disinvestment is the first step, and the attitude must be shown. This is a common method used by the United States.

Allen frowned, listening to Ceylon's analysis. He suddenly raised his right hand, interrupted Ceylan and asked: "Is there something about Thatcher? Will she be used to hinder us?"

Nowadays, information is limited, so what’s the point of just listening to one-sided words?

Besides, Allen still has a backup plan.

"Won't!"

Ceylon vetoed Allen's question very decisively and explained: "Your Excellency, the Conservative Party will hold an election next year. Your response to Thatcher a few days ago seems to have caused a lot of bad reactions. Recently, Thatcher has She is too tired to deal with it, and she can't spare any time to target you. She probably doesn't respond now because she is afraid that you will continue to interfere."

"oh?"

Allen blinked, why was he there again? Thinking about it, he didn't do anything. He just wrote a short essay with very low attack power.

Seeing Allen's doubts, Ceylon thought for a while, organized his words and said: "Your Excellency, you have set a certain pattern."

It turns out that in Allen's mind, arguing with people in newspapers, isn't this just like the online insults of later generations?

The kind of online chat on Weibo.

He has this kind of Internet thinking. Once he has scolded the other person, he has to give the other person a hard blow. According to the popular methods on the Internet, if you want to deal with someone, you must dig up the other person's dark history, starting from the other person's childhood, and then dozens of years later. After so many years, you can always dig up some dark history, so play hard!

But now

We still attach great importance to personal privacy. Even when two parties criticize each other in newspapers, it is very common to talk about each other's appearance, family background, education, voice, or any famous scandals they have committed.

But there are really not many people who target other people’s dark history from a few years or even decades ago!

Allen went up and used this Internet-style scolding method, and achieved great results.

The newspapers in those days were sold out!

This is purely the result of different ways of thinking.

What he thought was a very common thing actually opened up the minds of many people, and...

Competition within the party is a big deal, and Thatcher's opponents couldn't let her go. Following Allen's revealing ideas, they concocted a lot of dirty information about her.

so.

Thatcher really doesn't care about confronting Allen now.

"Can this still happen?"

Allen is a little bit doubtful about life.

Ceylon looked at Allen with admiration. This is a genius in the news media!

Pity.

After the two analyzed it, the current situation was very clear. Many capital withdrawals were not due to the demands of the Yankees, but because they were afraid of being implicated or even being tricked.

Now that everyone evacuates together, at least it will be safer and losses can be minimized.

"Boss, this is the situation over there, are you ready?"

"It doesn't matter!"

Allen shook his hand confidently. The situation was clear and the problem was not big.

Others are afraid of him, but he is not afraid. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Allen asked himself that he was producing and doing business normally, paying taxes honestly, and paying workers well, so there was nothing wrong with that.

And he gave Counselor Wang a tank worth millions of pounds!

For him, this thing would take up space in his home and would not be worth selling, but it would be of great use if it was given to those who need it.

now

It was finally time that this favor might be needed.

Is it worth spending millions of pounds to protect a business worth hundreds of millions of pounds?

In Allen's opinion, it's worth it!

When doing business, no matter where you go, in addition to obeying the rules, you must also have good interpersonal relationships and be polite.

He does business honestly, and this time he won't give face to the Americans, he just won't withdraw!

I'll write a letter to Counselor Wang later to ask about the situation, and just mention a word or two about my worries.

As long as your own property is in good condition, others will love you to death!

"Okay, please pay more attention to this situation in the past few days, and report to me if you have any questions."

"Okay boss!"

Ceylon stood up, smiled, said hello and went out.

Allen thought about these plans for a long time, became a little hungry, and called the servant to order some pastries.

Before the servants serve the meal.

Allen sighed, put Xiao Huang, who was about to fall asleep, on the desk again, put away the small composition, and took out the folder next to it.

There have been too many things going on recently, things are happening everywhere, and Allen has obviously felt that his energy has been seriously affected.

Take a look at this information report on Bentley.

The other party is now hosted under a certain military-industrial group.

This military-industrial conglomerate in Britain is not large in scale, but its relationship is extremely tough, so tough that even Allen can't afford to offend it.

But fortunately, there was no conflict with the other party, and after Hu Te's inquiries and contacts, the other party seemed willing to sell Bentley.

It’s not that Bentley can’t be profitable, but their profitability is very low!

The current Bentley is in a state where grandma does not love her but her uncle does not love him.

Not only do they have the military-industrial conglomerate, but also the "big brother" Rolls-Royce is suppressing them.

When I want to design something myself, I always get stuck. Some of them have to mix and match the main design due to cost considerations.

What they can freely use is actually slightly modifying the appearance and adding interior decoration.

How do you expect a brand to make a profit when it's mixed up like this?

Not losing money is already considered a very capable group of people!

It is a hand-made car, and it is not mass-produced. In addition, the British labor costs are here. It is only differentiated from the Rolls-Royce by a little difference in the interior, and it still has to make enough profits to support itself. speaking of

The person in charge at Bentley shed tears of bitterness, like a wronged little daughter-in-law.

PS:

Thank you for your support. Yesterday I asked for a monthly ticket, but today it is enough. I am satisfied!

There are no words to describe it, just give it a try.

"Boom!"
