Chapter 1109: Casting stones to ask for directions
Alan Wilson believes that his own existence is as selfless as the sun, emitting light and heat. Not only Britain should be grateful for his existence, but many European countries should be grateful to him.
The couple rarely travel together in recent years, so they cherish this opportunity... Put aside trivial matters, relax as much as possible, and experience the sunny beaches of Malaya in the tropics.
The two of them mingled with the bustling crowd and re-crossed the Kuala Lumpur Boulevard. Alan Wilson has always been accustomed to putting himself in the heart of his wife. The two of them did not talk about the international situation. When talking about these, they might as well talk with a stranger with more confidence.
This made Pamela Mountbatten very happy, as if she had returned to the period of British India, with each other's shadow in her eyes.
"I haven't felt this way for a long time." Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband lovingly and told her current thoughts.
"If I can make you happy, this time will not be in vain." Holding his wife's hand, Alan Wilson agreed with his wife's view, "Life is too short, and one should not always be on one string."
People often say that the date of death is uncertain, but this statement actually determines the time of death in a hazy and distant range, and does not think that it has any connection with the beginning of the day.
Looking forward to having a satisfying complexion afterwards.
Usually, Alan Wilson's feelings for his wife are reflected in helping Pamela Mountbatten make money.
It is true that this is also a good method of quantification, but for Pamela Mountbatten's current position, the effect is no longer great.
Of course, Pamela Mountbatten would not say that she is not interested in money, but having her husband's care will play an increasingly important role in the relationship between husband and wife.
Compared with ten years ago, Malaya has changed tremendously, and rough processing based on family workshops has almost disappeared. At the beginning of his first term, there were still many such family workshops.
Family workshops were also the only way for a place to develop in the early days, but now they are mainly concentrated in the agricultural field. There are still many family workshops in the rubber industry, but they have disappeared in most industries.
The Malayan colony has passed that stage and has begun to stride forward towards the bright road full of plutocrats.
"Your Majesty! Madam." At Mountbatten Building, the compradors who had not seen them for a long time appeared. When they heard that the couple had arrived in Malaya, they came to say hello.
"Long time no see, I miss you so much. I can see that everyone has been doing well in the past few years. I came here this time to see the automobile production line in Malacca City." Alan Wilson was very happy to greet him and motioned to sit down.
Forget about playing chicken blood, "Let's help each other so that each other can have a bright future."
The size of Malaya's economy has exceeded three billion pounds, which is about one-fifth of Japan's. Considering the population comparison, this achievement cannot be said to be bad. If Malaya had not had two major ethnic groups, it could even be imagined to exceed
Japan’s per capita income.
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, the natural increase in the labor force is
The more the better.
But don’t think this is a good thing. The four words “demographic dividend” are obviously more important in the eyes of the government.
This is the case in Japan at this time. Japanese entrepreneurs also need cheap workers who use three thousand yuan as cattle and horses. Fire them if you want. If you dare to be dissatisfied, just quit. If you don't work, there will be others who will.
Japan's population of nearly 100 million also has a disadvantage, that is, Japan must preserve some low-tech industries in the long term to meet employment needs. For now, Japan's textile industry is still functioning.
And Alan Wilson has forced these compradors in the textile industry to transfer the textile industry. Malaya has a small population, so there is no need to worry about maintaining employment during the transformation.
"Britain also expects Malaya to shoulder greater responsibilities. Now Kuching has steel, Singapore has oil refining, and Malacca's automobile industry has been completed. Penang is still missing. I will think of a solution then." Alan Wilson said to
The compradors showed their kindness.
"Master Zhongtang has played a greater role in the development of Malaya than anyone else." Gu Ke said gratefully, "Now that we are visiting our hometown again, we people must not let Master Zhongtang leave with regrets."
Regrets? Alan Wilson thinks back to what regrets he has in Malaya? It’s not that I regret not being able to become an immortal.
It's because Queen Nanfang is over her age and she didn't give him good news like Jiabao did. She has no regrets in other aspects, but this is the only regret.
How could Guca and others know that this sentence aroused Alan Wilson's regret for not being able to show off his talents as prime minister.
After the compradors left, Pamela Mountbatten said, "I want to sell a few islands to the emirs in the Middle East."
"What a great idea!" Alan Wilson immediately agreed upon hearing this. "In this way, the last few giants can be packed away and put into use. The territories of those chiefs are a little better than Egypt except for the oil.
There’s really nothing to offer.”
Judging from the current population of Malaya, even East Malaysia and Malaysia cannot fill it. Several islands acquired by the United Kingdom and the Netherlands are in an empty state. Of course, they can be used as naval bases.
Alan Wilson has sold some islands before, but now there are still many islands left. Selling to these chiefs who are about to get rich is a way.
The more I think about it, the more feasible it becomes. It can also increase the ties of these Middle Eastern protectorates to the UK and strengthen the ties between them.
"Sometimes, it seems that we still have to make good use of the advantages of the colonial empire. The United States cannot do this, but we can." Alan Wilson directly picked up his wife and praised, "Dear, our thinking
Such a perfect match, otherwise, the most suitable person in the world to be your husband would be me."

The production line of Land Rover Discovery was placed in Malacca City. Under Alan Wilson's transfer plan, the only remaining big city, Penang, will be the shipbuilding base in the future.
Richard accompanied the couple to visit the Land Rover production line in a private capacity. As he walked, he said, "In terms of treatment, these workers who enter the factory are very satisfied."
"In terms of industrial upgrading, the automobile industry is very important. As a resident of Malaya, we should have a basic understanding. We have to do good deeds, and we must accept gratitude." Alan Wilson replied calmly, doing good deeds without leaving a name.
That won't work, he won't do that kind of stupid thing.
Among other things, Japan, the imaginary economic enemy, experienced the collapse of many industries and relied on automobiles for a few decades to survive. Japan's dependence on the automobile industry is far more serious than Germany's.
"There should be more British brands in movies shot in Hong Kong. Talk to the Hong Kong Governor about this issue." Alan Wilson said to Richard, "Since we have this condition, we should make good use of it."
"I will pay attention to this issue." Richard said as if he had left it to me. "Secretary-General, didn't I say that Madam came with you to visit? Why are you here alone today?"
"She has a temporary guest to meet." Alan Wilson raised his wrist and showed off his plain watch. At this time, Pamela Mountbatten was supposed to discuss matters about the casino with Portuguese Governor Mazishi.
Pamela Mountbatten is still running a gambling business in Newfoundland. Not to mention that the gambling industry is a particularly important industry for the richest woman. But she is still a semi-expert, so it is natural for Portugal to need a gambling license.
As a governor, Mazishi's power is theoretically unlimited, but Portugal's national strength cannot support it. Under normal circumstances, especially in Macau, it is still very cautious to use its nearly unlimited power.
Britain is also now supporting Salazar's colonial empire, and British interests should naturally exist in the casino. For example, the He family a few decades later is not a native of Macau, but a native of Hong Kong.
His father, He Shiguang, was also a comprador. He was a comprador of Sassoon Bank. But He Shiguang went further than most Hong Kong people. He was the first Chinese to enter politics in Hong Kong. He reached the rank of senior member of the Legislative Council, regardless of Hong Kong's
For the British, the He family's power now is also unlimited.
"Theoretically, Fu and Gao control the local casinos, but Ma Jishi told me that the He family is fighting for it."
After Alan Wilson returned, Pamela Mountbatten directly informed the result of the conversation with the Portuguese Governor, "The Governor was still surprised that I was interested in the casino business. However, he did not object."
"What's surprising 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 a lot of money from this industry." Alan Wilson took off his clothes.
The dog-like coat was still saying, "But I want to find a place for the compradors in Malaya to discuss business with the Chinese from other countries."
"If this place were placed in Malaya, it would be a bit too obvious. It would be more suitable to place it in a place managed by Portugal. People like Suyang and Coca can use the venue of the entertainment city and their connections with the Philippines, Thailand, and South Vietnam.
Communicate frequently. It’s not easy to attract attention. Making money is the next best thing. You should do it even if you don’t make money.”
"It will be of great benefit to the UK if you put your abilities on the UK casually." Pamela Mountbatten said with a chuckle, "Now you are doing it as if you are the father of these compradors."
"It's not for nothing that I call you Lord. As for the British affairs, you can wait until I become Cabinet Secretary." Alan Wilson shrugged, "We can also use this to find out the details of the Chinese businessmen in these countries."
Although Alan Wilson now has a good idea of the strength of Chinese businessmen in Malaya, the Philippines, Thailand and South Vietnam, which are influenced by the United States, are still confused.
