Chapter 473: Convincing the Prime Minister

After all, Alan Wilson is also a civil servant, and he will not object to the emergence of such an institution at any time.

This is just like a problem in Britain a few decades later. Most British people are against the nobility, but at the same time, if they think about the royal family alone, most British people support the royal family.

On the one hand, the British know that there is unfairness in the aristocracy, but if there is no royal family in the UK, it will only be harmful to the UK, because the only bond that the UK can show in front of Canada and Australia is whether the Queen of the UK is the Queen of Canada and the Queen of Australia.

As for the royal family, the British do not have any capital to show off in other English-speaking countries.

The situation of each country is different. For Britain, the country is composed of efficiency and nobility.

The king represents nobility, and the government represents efficiency. The king is responsible to God, and the government is responsible to the parliament. Only when the two cooperate and support each other can the country achieve long-term peace, stability, and prosperity.

If the Overseas Assets Management Committee is in the hands of the civil servants, Alan Wilson feels that it will definitely be better than in the hands of the parties. He feels that in a parliamentary country, parties are simply a natural weakness and can be affected by various factors.

It can even be said to be a model of incompetence, of which Britain is just an average example, and Japan is the real master.

Although in Alan Wilson's eyes, Japan is just a country on the level of Spain, this does not prevent him from despising Japan. Something as important as colonial resources must be placed in reliable hands.

Norman Brooke was very satisfied with this attitude and said that he would discuss this issue with Prime Minister Attlee immediately.

Alan Wilson expressed some suggestions for the Overseas Assets Management Committee. This organization could allow the heads of civil servants to directly connect with nationalized enterprises in major colonies through this department, so as to mobilize colonial resources.

Integrate and optimize, connect with local companies, and learn from each other's strengths.

Of course, these nationalized enterprises will not conflict with local enterprises overseas, but one thing is for sure. When it comes to bank loans, nationalized enterprises are relatively easy to get loans, and almost respond to all requests. This is the biggest advantage of state-owned enterprises over private enterprises.

"Moreover, Dear Sir Norman, you can also directly issue orders to colonial enterprises through the Overseas Assets Management Committee. This is much easier than the imperial preferential system in concept." Alan Wilson looked in admiration, analyzing the emergence of this committee

The benefits are, of course, for civil servants.

"Allen, it's not all about benefits. Any rights and obligations are related." Norman Brooke said with a reserved face, "What if the opponents use monopoly as the focus of their attack? How to explain?"

"Sir Norman, first of all, these overseas companies are not necessarily monopolies. Even if they are monopolies or near-monopolies, monopolies are accompanied by a very heavy burden. Overseas Asset Management Committees can directly ask for money from companies without having to

To follow the procedures, all you need is an administrative order."

Alan Wilson used his brain to explain, "And the salary control of these companies must be very strict and will not cause a gap between the rich and the poor. These overseas companies have many non-profit functions, which are not available in private companies. We cannot be like

Like the United States, its one-sided hostility to this corporate model is detrimental to national interests."

Norman Brooke nodded in his mind and kept these words in his mind, preparing to use them to persuade Prime Minister Attlee. Now the benefits of Labor being in power have emerged. If the Conservative Party is in power, Norman Brooke wants to accomplish this.

It's even more difficult.

"I'm wondering who is more suitable to run this committee. There are many people in Whitehall, but there are not many suitable candidates." Norman Brooke seemed to have let it slip unintentionally.

Although Alan Wilson did not realize that this may be the most important question he faced in his life, his instinct drove Alan Wilson to give a decisive answer, "Except Sir Norman, you have this prestige, no one can do it."

suitable."

"Oh, that's right, I'll lend you your blessing. I hope this wish can come true." Norman Brook said with a disrespectful smile, "I will make a plan with me in the next few days, and then we will work together

Go see the Prime Minister."

"Oh, I'm so honored." Alan Wilson looked glorious, and then left the Cabinet Secretary's Office under the eyes of Norman Brooke's approval.

It is the United States, not the European countries, that cannot tolerate nationalized enterprises at all. This was different between Europe and the United States during the Cold War. What's more, now that the Labor Party is in power, Prime Minister Attlee has completed such a large nationalization movement in his own country.

Already.

In the colonies, it was even simpler. There was no need to spend money to sell private companies for nationalization. It was enough to directly set up a company and say it belonged to the state.

Private companies label themselves as having a sense of crisis and training people. Private companies label state-owned companies as being left to die and having no sense of crisis. But they don’t seem to understand that sense of crisis and crisis are completely different concepts.

The so-called sense of crisis is to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Let me emphasize, it is to be in times of peace! Then be prepared for danger. What private companies are doing is completely different. They are eliminated at the bottom, have poor benefits, and get out without performance. In the final analysis, they are creating crises.

, to maximize benefits.

For example, a state-owned enterprise and a private enterprise are standing on the beach at high tide. The state-owned enterprise tells its employees that they must go to higher ground or they will drown.

Private companies directly kick their employees into the sea and make them throw themselves on the shore. Then the private companies say, look, my employees are exhausted, and your employees’ trousers are not even wet. They are just waiting to die, without any sense of crisis.

.

Of course, nationalized companies have their own problems, and Alan Wilson certainly knows that private companies’ attacks on nationalized companies are not completely unreasonable, but private companies never talk about their problems.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fortunately, the scope of application of nationalized enterprises in this meeting is the most basic mining industry and other raw material fields. And they are all overseas, and they will not expand the scale of the British mainland.

of nationalized enterprises.

It's just that the intrigues of state-owned enterprises are just intrigues, and the intrigues of private enterprises are generally called - capabilities. Employees of nationalized enterprises nod and bow to their leaders and are treated as bureaucrats. It seems that the workers of U.S. Steel are no better than employees of nationalized enterprises when they see Derek.

How hard is the waist?

What civil servants like most is stability. State-owned enterprises are definitely more stable than private enterprises. Losers are most likely to be benched. There is a possibility of making a comeback. Although it is impossible in most cases, it is theoretically possible.

As for private companies? Losers are usually fired, and there is no talk of a comeback?

Therefore, nationalized enterprises can be said to be very suitable for civil servants, especially now that Attlee is in power and is trying to mitigate the harm caused by world war to Britain as much as possible. It is just the right time to propose this idea.

A week later, Alan Wilson followed Norman Brooke to No. 10 Downing Street to discuss with the Prime Minister the establishment of the Overseas Assets Management Committee and persuade the Labor Prime Minister to approve the matter.

Looking at the material thick enough for a palm, Prime Minister Attlee coughed softly, "To put it simply, it is to establish nationalized enterprises in the major colonies, which will promote the local economy."

"Of course, dear Prime Minister." Norman Brooke coughed softly and said, "Consider the overall situation faced by the British Empire today, not just from the local perspective. I, the permanent undersecretaries of various departments and the colonial commissioners,

After careful discussion and research, and observing the effect of the nationalization carried out by you, Prime Minister, in the local area, we can conclude that the local nationalization was very successful and played an irreplaceable role in getting rid of the post-war difficulties and ending the rationing system.

"

"Oh? Is that what you think?" Prime Minister Attlee heard this and said very happily, "We have combined the advantages of capitalism and socialism to achieve today's results..."

While Prime Minister Attlee was boasting, Norman Brooke acted as a good listener. When he heard the key points, a hint of understanding flashed on his face. Sometimes he looked surprised, as if he had just realized it at this time.

The profound meaning of a great prime minister.

It is a pity that Alan Wilson was standing behind Norman Brooke and could not learn the essence of how to be a cabinet secretary at this time. It can be said to be a great pity.

"In order to solve the current overt and covert methods used by the United States and the Soviet Union against the British Empire, we have come up with such a plan, which is essentially an expanded version of your idea, Prime Minister. We expect that after the establishment of nationalized enterprises in each colony, the Empire's preferential system

The effect will be improved."

Norman Brooke said that civil servants have ideas, which is just Tu Yile. This is actually the idea of ​​Prime Minister Attlee.

"After these few years of hard work, we have finally achieved some results. I am very happy to see Britain recovering from the war." Attlee accepted all of Norman Brooke's praise and believed in these words.

.

If he had not seen the effect, Norman Brooke would not have proposed expanding the local nationalization movement to all the current territories of the British Empire. This shows that Norman Brooke also agreed with his policy policy as prime minister.

"In principle, I have no problem. Of course, I still need to discuss it with the ministers." Attlee nodded, obviously being persuaded. "As for the Conservative Party, I don't know how to deal with it."

"Dear Prime Minister, it's time to show your courage as Prime Minister. The opposition parties are not qualified to object." Norman Brooke said casually, "It's really not possible. It can be said that it involves national secrets and refuses to answer."
