British civil servant

Pamela Mountbatten did not dodge, this kind of action is not possible in ordinary relationships, and the hidden language is that this woman has already been obtained.

Now that the trifles are over, it's time to do something serious, like ride a rocket or something.

This time, the integration of the British capital in the colonies on the Asian side into the management of the Overseas Assets Management Committee is also to enrich the capital strength under control, and this part is still above the African part.

The reason why it was not included before is entirely due to the different importance. Africa has been given up by default, so it is natural to fully grasp it.

And the Asian colonies still need to lay a solid foundation and develop well, and they cannot be exhausted.But now is also about time.Especially the Xiangjiang part, it cannot be out of control for a long time.

After staying in Goa for two days, when the two left, the governor of Goa politely came out to see him off. Besides, the British still knew the colonies. After sincere communication, he now also felt that the start of Bocai was suitable for the development of Goa, and Willing to fight with Salazar for this.

By the time the two arrived in Kuala Lumpur, the development plans of the two casino cities had been discussed within the Salazar government and had received the support of most people, especially Goa, which deserved more attention from Portugal.

Chapter One Thousand One Hundred and Nine

Alan Wilson believes that his own existence is as selfless as the sun, emitting light and heat.Not only the United Kingdom should be grateful for his existence, but many European countries should also be grateful to him.

The husband and wife have rarely traveled together in recent years, and they cherish such an opportunity very much.Put down all the trivial matters, relax as much as possible, and experience the sunny beach in tropical Malaya.

The two mingled with the bustling crowd and crossed the Kuala Lumpur Boulevard again.Alan Wilson has always been used to putting himself in his wife's heart, and the two don't talk about the international situation.Talking about these, it is better to talk with a stranger more confidently.

This made Pamela Mountbatten very happy, as if she had returned to the period of British India, and her eyes were shadows of each other. .

"I haven't felt this way for a long time." Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband lovingly and told her thoughts now.

"It can make you happy, and this time it's not in vain." Holding his wife's hand, Alan Wilson agreed with his wife's opinion, "Life is short, and one should not always be stretched."

It is often said that the date of death is uncertain, but this statement has actually determined the time of death in a hazy and distant range, and does not think it has any connection with the beginning of the day, insist on walking, Expect a satisfying complexion afterwards.

Usually, Alan Wilson's affection for his wife is reflected in helping Pamela Mountbatten make money.

It is true that this is also a good way to quantify, but for Pamela Mountbatten's current position, the effect is not great.

Of course, Pamela Mountbatten will not say that she is not interested in money, but being able to have her husband's care will occupy an increasing proportion in the relationship between husband and wife.

Compared with ten years ago, Malaya has changed quite a lot, and the rough processing mainly in family workshops has almost disappeared.At the beginning of his first term, there were still many family workshops.

The family workshop is also the only way for a place to develop in the early stage, but now it is mainly concentrated in the agricultural field.There are still many cottage industries in the rubber industry, but they have disappeared in most industries.

The Malayan colony has passed that stage and started to stride forward towards the bright road full of plutocrats.

"Lord Zhongtang! Ma'am." The big compradors who hadn't seen for a long time appeared in the Mountbatten Building. When they heard that the couple had come to Malaya, they came to say hello.

"Long time no see, I miss you very much. I can see that everyone has had a good life these past few years. I came this time to see the automobile production line in Malacca." Alan Wilson was very happy when he greeted him, and motioned for a seat. Forget fighting chicken blood, "We help each other so that each other has a bright future."

The size of Malaya's economy exceeds 30 billion pounds, which is about one-fifth of Japan's.Taking into account the population comparison, this result cannot be said to be poor.If it weren't for the fact that there are two major ethnic groups in Malaya, it would even be possible to imagine a per capita income that exceeds that of Japan.

One of the reasons for this result is that Malaya has a small population.Population is a double-edged sword, which can be a boost or a burden. In the period of demographic dividend, for a government, it is natural that the more labor force the better.

But don't think that this is a good thing. The word "demographic dividend" is obviously more important in the eyes of the government.

This is the case in Japan at this time, and Japanese entrepreneurs also need cheap workers with 3000 yuan as cows and horses.If you want to be fired, you can be fired, if you dare to be dissatisfied, just put down a sentence, if you don't do it, someone will do it.

Japan's population of nearly [-] million also has a disadvantage, that is, Japan must preserve some low-tech industries for a long time to satisfy employment.Take the present as an example, Japan's textile industry is still functioning.

And Alan Wilson has forced these textile compradors to transfer the textile industry out.Malaya has a small population, so there is no need to take into account the issue of ensuring employment during the transformation.

"Britain still expects Malaya to shoulder greater responsibilities. Now Kuching has steel, Singapore has oil refining, and Malacca has completed the construction of automobiles. It is still short of Penang. I will think of a way by then." Alan Wilson faced The compradors expressed their favor.

"Lord Zhongtang has played a greater role in the development of Malaya than anyone else." Gu Ke said gratefully, "Since we are revisiting the old place, we must not let Master Zhongtang leave with regret."

Pity?Alan Wilson recalls what regrets he had in Malaya?It's not that I have a regret that I failed to become a fairy.

It's that Empress Nanfang is over her age, and she didn't give him good news like Garbo did. She has no regrets in other aspects, but this is the only regret.

How could Gu Ke and others know that this sentence aroused Alan Wilson's regret for not being able to show his talent as a prime minister.

After the compradors left, Pamela Mountbatten said, "I want to sell a few islands to the emirs in the Middle East."

"Great idea!" Allen Wilson immediately agreed, "It will be useful to pack the last few giants in this way. The territories of those chiefs are better than Egypt except for the oil. There’s really nothing to show for it.”

As far as the current population of Malaya is concerned, even East Malaysia and West Malaysia cannot be filled. Several islands acquired by the United Kingdom and the Netherlands are even more empty.Of course, it can be used as a naval base.

Alan Wilson had sold some islands before, but there are still a lot of islands left. It would be a way to sell them to these chiefs who are about to get rich.

The more you think about it, the more feasible it is, and it can also increase the fetters of these Middle Eastern protectorates on Britain.Strengthen the connection between each other.

"Sometimes, it seems that we still have to make good use of the advantages of the colonial empire. The United States can't do this, but we can." Alan Wilson directly hugged his wife and praised, "Honey, our thinking Such a perfect fit, otherwise, I would be the most suitable husband for you in this world."

Such a good little girl back then, how did she become like this today?Alan Wilson thought with a sense of accomplishment.

The production line discovered by Land Rover was placed in Malacca. In Alan Wilson's transfer plan, the only remaining big city, Penang, will be the shipbuilding base in the future.

Richard accompanied the husband and wife to visit the Land Rover production line in their own name, and said as they walked, "In terms of treatment, the workers who entered the factory are very satisfied."

"Industrial upgrading, how important the automobile industry is, as a resident of Malaya, we should have a basic understanding. We do good deeds, and we also accept gratitude." Allen Wilson answered indifferently, and does not leave a name for good deeds. That's not okay, he doesn't do stupid things like that.

Among other things, Japan, the imaginary economic enemy, has experienced the defeat of many industries. After decades, it is hanging on the car. Japan's dependence on the car industry is far more serious than Germany.

"There should be more British brands in the films shot by Hong Kong. You should talk to the Governor of Hong Kong about this issue." Alan Wilson said to Richard, "Since there is such a condition, we should make good use of it."

"I will pay attention to this issue." Richard gave it to me, "Secretary-General, didn't you say that your wife came to visit with you, why are you here alone today?"

"She has a guest to meet temporarily." Alan Wilson raised his wrist and showed his unpretentious watch. At this time, Pamela Mountbatten should talk about the casino with the Portuguese Governor Mazi.

Pamela Mountbatten still runs a gaming business in Newfoundland, not to mention that the gaming industry is a particularly important industry for the richest woman.But no matter what, he can be regarded as a half-expert, even if Portugal wants a gambling card, it should be taken for granted.

As a governor, Mazishi's power is theoretically unlimited, but Portugal's national strength cannot sustain it. Under normal circumstances, especially in Macau, it is still very cautious to use almost unlimited power.

The United Kingdom is also supporting Salazar's colonial empire now, and the casino should have British interests as a matter of course.For example, the He family decades later, the He family is not from Macau, but from Xiangjiang.

His father, He Shiguang, was also a comprador, and he was a comprador of Sassoon Bank.But He Shiguang has gone further than most Hong Kong people. He is the first Chinese in Hong Kong to engage in politics, from officials to senior members of the Legislative Council. Regardless of the British in Hong Kong, the current power of the He family is unlimited.

"Theoretically, the Fu and Gao families control the local casinos, but Ma Zishi told me. The He family is fighting for it."

After Alan Wilson came back, Pamela Mountbatten directly informed the result of the dialogue with the Portuguese Governor, "The Governor was still surprised that I was interested in the casino business. But he did not object."

"The surprising part is why you are interested in gambling. He may not know that you have such an industry in Newfoundland. In fact, my main purpose is not to make money from this industry." Alan Wilson took off his people The dog-like coat was still on the sidelines, "I want to find a place for the compradors in Malaya to negotiate business with Chinese merchants from other countries."

"If this place were placed in Malaya, it would be a bit too obvious. It would be more appropriate to place it in a place managed by Portugal. For example, Suyang, Guca, and others can use the venue of the entertainment city, and their connections in the Philippines, Thailand, and South Vietnam Communicate frequently. It’s not easy to attract attention, making money is second, and you should do it if you don’t make money.”

"It will be of great benefit to the UK if you put your ability on the UK casually." Pamela Mountbatten said with a chuckle, "Now it looks like you are the father of these compradors."

"It's not for nothing, Mr. Zhongtang. As for the British affairs, you can wait until I become the cabinet secretary." Alan Wilson shrugged, "We also use this to find out the details of the Chinese businessmen in these countries."

Now Alan Wilson certainly knows the strength of the Chinese businessmen in Malaya, but the Philippines, which is influenced by the United States?Thailand and South Vietnam are still at a loss.

The first thousand and 110 chapters of the governor's dissatisfaction

"We don't come forward directly, I think the He family is very suitable to be the person standing in front of the stage." Alan Wilson said to his wife, "In the final analysis, whether it is Xiangjiang or Macau managed by Portugal, it is not our place. , will be lost sooner or later, rushing to the front will not do us good."

"If you are optimistic about that congressman's son, then we will support him." Pamela Mountbatten agreed.

She never planned to make much money in a casino. The scale of the Commonwealth lottery system in Newfoundland is many times larger than this corner, and Alan Wilson also said that the role of the casino is to provide a place for the rich and powerful in Southeast Asia. A place where you can communicate face to face is the most important thing.

"Next, I want to integrate overseas assets in Asia. Unlike raw materials in Africa, energy in the Middle East, industries and finance here are more important." Alan Wilson originally came to integrate the British-invested industries here and include them in overseas asset management under the name of the committee. .

The situation in Malaya is better. He really supported some compradors before.What is the proportion of British capital in Xiangjiang? It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is all, that is, more than 80.00%, with the four major family groups as the core.

In fact, regardless of whether it is British capital or local capital, Allen Wilson can be regarded as British capital and integrated into the Overseas Assets Management Committee for jurisdiction.

It doesn't matter who the owner is, it mainly depends on the class sentiment. The property of people like Su Yang entered the Overseas Assets Management Committee, and they will also be treated as British capital.

At present, the United States is also a veritable world factory. Whether it is black goods or white goods, the United States is the largest producer. Japan has not climbed to the position of home appliances going overseas.

Allen Wilson is already thinking about what Xiangjiang's population of 320 million can do.Xiangjiang plus Malaya, there are about 2000 million people who can use it.

Malaya no longer has any surplus labor to do home appliance production, so let Xiangjiang do this production.

All kinds of arrangements are based on Japan as an economic imaginary enemy, setting up a series of blocking lines to make Japan's ten-year doubling plan a little more difficult, which will not necessarily make Japan's plan fail.

Because in terms of the current US economy, it is not a burden at all to support an economy that is only one-tenth of its own size.

Just as Britain cannot afford to support the Malayan colony, under this difficulty, as long as the United States opens its market, it is really not difficult for Japan to make internal adjustments.

Alyssa came with the documents requested by Alan Wilson, and greeted her old boss who hadn't seen him for a long time, "Dear sir, I thought you wouldn't be coming back."

"How come. Alisa, no matter how busy I am, I will never forget where I fought." Alan Wilson joked, his eyes were like knives on Alisa's buttocks. Why don't I come over to see you right now?"

"It sounds good, but I don't dare to make trouble in front of my wife." Alyssa rolled her eyes and said, "I've already settled here, and my husband likes it very much. Even living in a colony, I always feel uneasy .”

"Think about the Royal Pacific Fleet, the Vulcan bombers in Perth, and the nuclear warheads in East Malaysia." Alan Wilson couldn't help but smile. It's not stable yet. Of course there are countries that subvert Malaya, but they certainly don't include only Malaysia. Indonesia, which comes to Asia with one-tenth of its income.

The difference has reached ten times. This is no longer explained by statistical differences. Anyone with eyes can see the difference between the two places. Indonesia after independence is far worse than Malaya, which is still a colony.

"But by the way, will private companies allow you to integrate?" Alyssa sat down and asked while dragging her chin with a bare hand.

"Of course, not all domestic enterprises are nationalized enterprises, and they also accept the guidance of various committees. The United Kingdom is not the United States." Alan Wilson chuckled, including the four major family groups of the Swire Group and the Jardine Group. Integration is not to nationalize them, but to help them better in times of crisis.

Under the guidance of the United Kingdom, in the Far East, he fought hand-to-hand with Japan, who was eager to go to sea.If you see a threat, you must find out and resolve it early. You can't wait until Japan becomes bigger and tries to contain it, then it will be too late.

Alan Wilson is also thinking about the United States. If Japan really expands, the United States will not be easy to deal with.So it's better not to become so strong, this is all for the sake of the special relationship between Britain and the United States.

"I really don't understand, Japan is worth your trouble and come here yourself."

Alan Wilson's strategy for Southeast Asia with British-funded enterprises in Malaya as the core needs an executor to watch over and implement it. Alisa is a perfect candidate, and the key is reliability.

Naturally, this strategy is aimed at Japan, and it can't be hidden from Alisa, but she doesn't understand why a country in the Far East is so close to an enemy?Ask Alan Wilson to come here specially?

"The population of Japan is almost twice that of the United Kingdom. Do you understand that the power of a country depends on the total amount rather than per capita?"

Alan Wilson explained, "If Japan can develop to half of the income of British citizens in the future, then in terms of total volume, Japan will already be the same economy as the United Kingdom. The funds provided by the United Kingdom and the funds provided by Japan, in From the perspective of the country, it is the same, and no one is worse than the other."

India in the later generations is poor enough, and it is also domineering in South Asia by virtue of its large size.If the total amount is large enough, the bursting power is enough, which cannot be faked.

The United Kingdom can only rely on its previous technology accumulation to devolve some industries to Malaya to deal with Japanese companies going overseas.Anyway, Alan Wilson couldn't think of any other way.

Japan is difficult to deal with depending on how you look at it. It is definitely not difficult to deal with, otherwise Alan Wilson will surrender.

Some industries are exhausted and Japan will not be able to develop, such as civilian airliners.Britain has accumulated in this area, but Japan has not. Later, Japan wanted to develop large aircraft at its peak, but it was useless.

The technical content of aircraft manufacturing is much higher than that of automobiles, and the capital investment that is also required is another level.In the end, Japan threw tens of billions of dollars without splashing a single splash on the big plane.

But Japan has done one thing well, and it has clearly failed. As long as I don't say failure, it is not considered a failure.

At No. [-] Downing Street, Norman Brooke was invited. Prime Minister Eden had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw the head of the civil servant, he spoke directly, "British sent a telegram, expressing his dissatisfaction with Alan, thinking that the Overseas Assets Management Committee There is no reason to integrate British-owned enterprises in Xiangjiang."

"That's it!" Norman Brook replied with a sigh of relief after hearing this, "It's normal for the Governor of Hong Kong to be dissatisfied, but Allen also has his own reasons. This time, Britain compromised the Iran issue with the United States and let him Deeply stimulated, I went directly to the Far East after leaving Iran to integrate British-funded enterprises and increase economic strength.”

Because of the money problem, the conflict broke out between Black and Allen Wilson. The root cause is that shortly after taking office as Governor of Hong Kong, Black announced to the Legislative Council that Hong Kong has obtained "financial autonomy", and that the Hong Kong government no longer needs to hand over its budget to London. review.

In terms of economic affairs, it is no longer necessary to obtain the consent of the colonial minister for economic decision-making in the future. The Hong Kong government can formulate its own economic policies independently, and the colonial office will only intervene in the affairs of Hong Kong's foreign loans.

London disagrees with Xiangjiang's claim of financial independence, especially Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke, so Alan Wilson went to the Far East to cover Xiangjiang's British-funded enterprises with the Overseas Assets Management Committee. Full support.

"Are you competing for overseas British capital?" Aiden called you, indicating that he is not clear about the root cause of this conflict.

"It's not a struggle, but a more effective use of overseas economic power to serve the UK." Norman Brooke explained calmly, "And I'm telling the truth, the resistance of the Governor of Hong Kong is futile. Dear Prime Minister, do you want to Thinking about who Alan's wife is, many of Hong Kong's British-funded enterprises rely on the partners of the Mountbatten Group, as long as Pamela has a word, they don't care what the Governor of Hong Kong says."

Capital and capital are also different. The largest group in the UK is undoubtedly the Mountbatten Group.In the oil industry alone, Mountbatten Petroleum Company is not an opponent of BP.In the auto industry alone, Land Rover and other cars have no advantage.

However, the Mountbatten Group not only has only two industries, but the manufacturing of civil airliners is divided into two in the world.Not to mention the mining industry, the Mountbatten Group, which is deeply cultivated in Australia, is already considered the strongest in the world.

"Indeed, the little girl Pamela, if you say a word now, is more effective than me as the prime minister in some fields." Aiden smiled wryly, "She has been living in Perth, Australia, right?"

"When the weather in London turns cold, she will go to the southern hemisphere." Norman Brook replied with an uncertain look, "She is also helping to weave an intricate network of business relationships around Malaya. There is no doubt that this is a good thing for the UK."

At the end of this round of dialogue, Norman Brooke immediately informed Alan Wilson of the governor's dissatisfaction.

"What's his dissatisfaction?" Alan Wilson squinted at his wife while holding the telegram, "He's just a governor. Shouldn't he wait for Whitehall to arrange retirement? Or go to the House of Lords, really thinking that his Is the term unlimited?"

"You put your hand on someone else's plate, don't you feel dissatisfied?" Pamela Mountbatten stretched out her hand and snatched the telegram to read it, and said indifferently, "I don't think the problem is big, you will succeed. of."

"I'm not prepared to fail at all." Alan Wilson held his head high. "Our country ultimately depends on funds. If you have money, I have power. In the UK, we can do whatever we want."

The first thousand and 110 chapters, a rough and complex relationship network

"That's the truth, but as a civil servant, dear, you still don't want to say it." Pamela Mountbatten asked softly, "Counting Middle East investment, Xiangjiang, and Malaya, how many assets do you control. "

Although this huge wealth is not his own, Pamela Mountbatten cares just as much.

"If the Governor of Hong Kong does not set up obstacles, it will be enough for five years of military expenditure. Forget..." Alan Wilson patted his head and said distressedly, "The military expenditure has already increased, and now it is only enough for four years of military expenditure."

"Eight billion pounds? That's an amazing number." Pamela Mountbatten reached out and grabbed her husband's cheek, pretending to be wronged and whispered, "It's twice as much as my property, you won't abandon me when the time comes, right? .”

This look is very contrived, without the demeanor of the richest woman, Alan Wilson couldn't help but give his wife the look of looking for reasons, and said to himself, "This is it for the time being, the investment in Australia and the UK will not be included in the scope of control for the time being." .”

Allen Wilson feels that this move to expand the scope of control can increase the establishment of some public institutions. .

The Overseas Assets Management Committee is a strictly defined professional department, and it is inevitable to maintain a streamlined style. After expanding the scope of management and control, it is enough to create [-] jobs.

If the establishment is further expanded, there will be disadvantages of overstaffed institutions, which is not conducive to economic development.
