British 1986

Chapter 232: Bill Hayden

Just as Nicole Kidman was about to get up, she suddenly squatted on the ground again.

My legs are extremely weak and hurt.

He touched his makeup-stained face, silently took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, and wiped it with Allen first.

Allen had sharp eyes, he hadn't noticed it just now, but now he saw the used paper in Nicole Kidman's hand.

There's something wrong with the color.

Just say it.

Today's experience is extremely fast, different from the past.

I thought he was a veteran, but I didn't expect him to be a cute newbie?

Allen's crew once again interrupted filming for some special reasons.

I had a good rest with Nicole in the villa for a few days.

With the call from Old Carl, Allen's dark days of recuperating during the day and taking biology classes at night were disrupted.

Things in Sydney were finally settled. Governor Bill Hayden was coming to visit Allen. Old Carl called Allen in advance to make an appointment.

Kangaroo Island is a resort in South Australia. The True Seaside Villas, which are close to the seaside, allow visitors to feel the scenery of the waves in their houses. A row of extremely high-standard holiday villas are built on the edge of the seaside cliffs.

This is Allen's second place to stay. Adelaide is in the city. It's a good place to store luggage and supplies. The main reason is that it's a big place and all the servants can stay there. But when you go on vacation, you can't move out of your place. Nest?

It's no fun to always hide in a villa in the city and study biology.

Hearing that Bill Hayden was coming, Alan took Nicole to the villa he had booked on Kangaroo Island to play, and waited for Bill Hayden's arrival.

"Haha, Sir Allen, I'm glad to see you. I'm busy with official duties and it's been so long since you've been in Australia. If Sir Carl hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you had arrived."

Bill Hayden has a very British-style Mediterranean hairstyle. The few hairs he has are still stubbornly trying to be gathered in the middle, but...

With just these few hairs, it was still a little powerless to block the almost reflective forehead.

With his big, flat round nose and large gold-framed eyes, this old guy looked a bit like a businessman and a bit like a scholar, and his smile was harmless.

The first time he saw Allen, Bill Hayden held Allen's right hand with both hands and shook it vigorously, his face full of enthusiasm and apology.

If he hadn't known that this old guy had been staying in Sydney and keeping calm, Allen would have almost believed it.

Before he came, because he brought many people, the bodyguards also carried a large number of weapons, but they had been reported through formal procedures. This is Allen's habit. No matter where he goes, safety is the most important thing, and he will not conduct private visits incognito. It’s a set.

As the Governor-General of Australia, it is impossible for Bill Hayden not to know the information reported by Allen.

I can only say that life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. Just listen to the scenes and don't take it seriously.

He is a local boss and a governor. Although his title is low, his political career is over and he can still show off a little bit of airs.

However, everything is beneficial, and coupled with Allen's current status, as long as they are discussed in advance, the atmosphere of everyone's meeting will generally be very harmonious.

"Haha, was the journey going well?"

Allen was waiting in the villa. He didn't even go out. Bill Hayden was not qualified to ask him to greet him. He could ask Patrice and Karl Lao to take the initiative to talk to him first. It was already Allen's utmost sincerity.

"Smooth, smooth!"

Bill Hayden looked around. Apart from the servants, there was no one else. It seemed that today's dinner was very private, and the location was well chosen. In a villa in a tourist area, it seemed inappropriate. It's too low-key and very private.

Putting down his hands, Allen led Bill Hayden towards the restaurant and said as he walked: "I still want to thank you for helping me take care of my property. You just took office. You were not sent from the local area and you didn't even have a chance to meet in advance. .”

Hearing Allen's words, Bill Hayden narrowed his eyes slightly.

It seems to be said casually, but it has a profound meaning!

If it is a governor sent from the mainland, according to your Excellency's wishes, he will meet him before coming!

Why can he see him?

This shows that he has strong connections. He has no connections or background. He is a dignified governor. Why would he come to see you?

What did you say when you saw him?

This shows that this person not only has a strong relationship, but also has a different style of conduct. Since we want to meet and talk, it proves that we can talk!

Some noble lords are very arrogant and won’t even talk to you!

The information contained in this short sentence was recognized by the old fox Bill Hayden.

This Excellency is a person who has connections and can be negotiated in the country. This is very good. He expresses his position very straightforwardly. They are here to seek wealth, not to use status to pressure him.

"Haha, your Excellency is joking. Protecting the interests of the nobles is not what I, the governor, should do. As for thanking you? Your invitation today has already made me very honored!"

Bill Hayden bent down slightly, held Allen's words in his hands and said something.

Allen stopped, turned his head slightly, met Bill Hayden's smiling eyes, and smiled too.

This is an old fox. You won't feel resentful when you see him young. He is really an old man.

"Please sit down!"

The small round table didn't look particularly formal. The tableware was placed on the table. Before the dishes were served, the red wine in the decanter had already been placed, and the remaining wine bottles were still in their original places.

Bill Hayden picked up the bottle and looked at it. Falk

Penfolds wine king Grange in 1963.

This is good stuff!

Australia's most famous and best-quality wine, this is a top-notch red wine comparable to traditional European wineries.

Generally speaking, other red wines are considered to be of the best quality and ready to drink after being stored for 15 to 20 years. If they are kept for 15 to 20 years, they will be counterproductive.

But this kind of wine king, Grange, is a little bit different. Because of its special formula, this kind of wine has an extremely long storage and storage time. Under normal circumstances, it takes at least 20 or even 30 years to reach this level. Best drinking condition.

But according to the original words of the former founder of Penfolds Distillery, the best time for this kind of wine Grange is fifty years, but that time is a bit too long. This thing was not even fifty years old when it was produced. As for the year, it is very difficult to get wine produced in 1963 for a wine that was only released in the past five years. Even a local coward like him may not be able to get wine of this year.

"You really know the goods. Our Australian Penfolds wines are no less than those of the old European wineries."

Putting down the bottle, Bill Hayden took the opportunity to compliment him again.

The servant next to him has already pushed the dining cart and started serving food.

This time we hosted a banquet for Bill Hayden, and the two of them had authentic French food.

After clinking a glass with Bill Hayden, Allen put down the glass. He didn't really like drinking red wine, mainly because he disliked it because it was boring and not as enjoyable as white wine. However, in formal social interactions in the West, in addition to champagne, you must also drink red wine.

"I'm going to visit my steel factory in a while, and talk to the natives about the conditions for underwriting the beef produced on the ranch. Did Old Carl tell you?"

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, I will ask people from the Aboriginal Progress Association to accompany you."

It's funny to say that it is obviously an association to protect the natives and promote their progress, but the committee members who are mainly responsible for the affairs are all white people.

These natives are really being "protected", a bit like black people in America.

But being protected in this way, sometimes, there are some things that they cannot decide. Just like now, using the name of the Aboriginal Protection Association, they can control their supply and sales, and they have to sell to whomever they are asked to sell to. They have to listen to whoever asks him to sell it for how much!

As long as they dare not listen, the white masters have plenty of ways to discipline them. As for the preferential legal treatment for the natives like what Nicole Kidman said.

It's all an act. In order to show it to outsiders, you let a native invade a British guy.

They themselves were frightened when they saw it.

Seeing that Bill Hayden agreed after he mentioned the conditions a little, just when Allen was thinking about what to tell Bill Hayden next, Bill Hayden spoke first.

"Your Excellency, you are here for vacation this time. Uh, to help us promote our tourism project. Sir Carl told me that you have worked tirelessly. We Australians will definitely not let you down. As for the film and television industry, I used to work in When I was in the Ministry of Finance, I still have some experience. I wonder how much your film and television drama production costs this time? We in Australia cover it all. Regarding your remuneration, it is calculated separately!"

When Allen heard this, he really laughed this time. This old guy was really good at it. He was indeed a local, agile and courageous, and he knew everything he knew.

Taking the initiative to raise his glass and inviting Bill Hayden to clink the glasses again, Allen said: "It's all done casually. Since you understand the operations in film and television dramas, you must also know professionals in this field, right?" You can ask them to come over and help me in a few days. I am almost out of manpower now, and then this will be a project for the two of us."

"!!!"

Bill Hayden raised his brows. His Excellency reacted so quickly. As soon as he handed over the benefit, he turned around and gave him a share of the benefit. This courage was very different from Bill Hayden's previous treatment of the British people. Noble cognition.

When did these noble gentlemen become so grand?

Or is this just a big guy?

Bill Hayden is still more willing to believe the latter. This gentleman has very good means. He was extremely happy to give this money!

What is a project for two people? This means that after he sends the money, he will make up a name and send a few people over to share the cost with you.

But the specific amount of money, your Excellency did not say, this is

This is waiting for me to take the initiative to make an offer!

People have invited you to share the money together. If you pay less, you will share less. This is a mutually reinforcing relationship!

This skill is quite clever. Using other people's money to win over others will not offend others, and it may even make others take the initiative to take out more money.

Tsk tsk

"Okay, it's settled then. I happen to have a film and television drama team that I know. I'll ask them to come over in a few days."

Bill Hayden forked a piece of meat with a smile. Today's meal was particularly comfortable.

Since he became the new Governor-General of Australia, some people in the past, even because of his title, have begun to alienate him.

He is not as comfortable as Allen imagined, just because he is a local and becomes the governor of Australia.

Bill Hayden now has a different class and status!

The lowest knight is also a knight. It is definitely not the same status as the ordinary politicians in the past!

He now needs Allen to stand up for him, support him, and act like he has connections in the local area, is very popular, and has the support of the local aristocrats in the House of Lords.

This will be more conducive to his better performance in the past few years in office.

The Governor.

He is not asked to teach how Australia develops and how to get rich.

The governor oversees the place!

In addition to supervision, it is to develop its own power, and even to stir up relationships with various places, and make some money on the way.

Within a few years, if you do well, you may be promoted. If you don't do well, you can retire at the end of your term.

And if he, Bill Hayden, has a future, his title will be far more than just a low-level local title.

This clearly tells him that he has no future in the future and this is his last stop.

Now that he has this understanding, he needs to think more about himself as to the focus of his work in the past few years.

How to increase the strength of the family and how to make more money?

Can I even hang out somewhere after retirement?

But now, with the help of this great British nobleman, many things here will be easier to handle.

The guests and hosts enjoyed the meal. When Bill Hayden came, Allen did not pick him up, but before leaving, Allen took the initiative to send him to the door.

After going out and sniffing the sea breeze at night, Allen said casually: "Bill, I have some free time recently to pay attention to the Sony branch in Sydney. I hope you can put some pressure on them. I have some cooperation with them that needs side pressure." Press them down."

"Oh? I wonder how much pressure you need to put on them?"

After pressing it, Bill Hayden can still understand the meaning, but to what extent it needs to be pressed, we have to ask clearly.

Allen looked at the coast in the distance and said: "You can find any reason. The warehouse will be closed and confiscated. Let them wait for a few days to see. If you are not in a hurry, continue to confiscate."

Obviously he could have caused trouble for them elsewhere, but Allen chose a place like Australia, which was neither better nor worse. He was either trying to make enemies, or to tell the people at Sony that the market in Great Britain was easy to get into, but he wanted to keep it. It's not easy.

As the business encountered obstacles, I believe people in Sony could well understand that His Excellency the Earl was a little angry and dissatisfied with their dilly-dallying behavior.

Bill Hayden thought for a while and understood what Allen meant. Before getting into the car, he took out an envelope from the inner pocket of his clothes and handed it to Allen with both hands and said: "Sir, I didn't greet you when you came. For the sake of To compensate you, I am going to hold a welcome banquet for you in Sydney, and I will invite some guests from all walks of life in Canberra and Sydney, what do you think?"

PS:

I wish all the babies a happy holiday. Although the blessing comes late, is this late blessing worth a wave of monthly votes, recommendation votes, etc.?
