Chapter 1,110 The Hong Kong Governors Dissatisfaction
"If we don't come forward directly, I think the people of the He family are very suitable to be people in front of the stage." Alan Wilson said to his wife, "In the final analysis, neither Hong Kong nor Macau managed by Portugal is our place.
, it will be lost sooner or later, and rushing to the stage will do us no good."
"If you like that congressman's son, then we will support him..." Pamela Mountbatten agreed.
She had never prepared to make much money in a casino. The scale of Newfoundland's Commonwealth lottery system was many times larger than that of this corner of the country. Moreover, Alan Wilson also said that the role of the casino was to provide a platform for the 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 the raw materials in Africa, the energy in the Middle East and the industries here, finance is more important." Alan Wilson was originally here to integrate the British assets here and incorporate them into overseas asset management.
in 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 an exaggeration to say that it is all over 80%, which is more than 80%. Based on the four major families
The group is the core.
In fact, whether it is British capital or local capital, Alan Wilson can treat it as British capital and integrate it into the jurisdiction of the Overseas Assets Management Committee.
It doesn't matter who the owner is, it mainly depends on class sentiment. If the properties of people like Su Yang enter the Overseas Asset Management Committee, they will still be treated as British capital.
At present, the United States is also truly the world's factory. Whether it is black appliances or white appliances, the United States is the largest producer. Japan has not yet climbed to the position of exporting home appliances overseas.
Alan Wilson is now thinking about what the 3.2 million people in Xiangjiang can do. In Xiangjiang and Malaya, there are about 20 million people who can use it.
Malaya no longer has any spare labor force to produce home appliances, so it is left to Xiangjiang to carry out this aspect of production.
All these arrangements use Japan as the imaginary economic enemy and set up obstacles to make Japan's ten-year doubling plan a little more difficult. This will not necessarily make Japan's plan fail.
Because based on the current U.S. economy, supporting an economy that is only one-tenth of its own size is not a burden at all.
Just like feeding the Malayan colonies was not a burden for Britain, under this difficulty, as long as the United States opened its market, it would not be difficult for Japan to make internal adjustments.
Alyssa came with the documents requested by Alan Wilson and greeted her old boss whom she had not seen for a long time, "Dear Sir, I thought you would never come back."
"How could it be. Alyssa, no matter how busy I am, I will never forget the place where I fought." Alan Wilson started teasing, his eyes like knives piercing Alyssa's buttocks, "Before, I even took care of the prime minister of a country.
Won’t I come over to see you right away?”
"That's nice to say, but I don't dare to make a mistake in front of Madam." Alyssa rolled her eyes and said, "I have settled here, and my husband also likes it here. Even if I live in the colony, I always feel uneasy.
.”
"Think about the Royal Pacific Fleet, the Vulcan bombers in Perth, and the nuclear warheads in East Malaysia are stable." Alan Wilson couldn't help but smile. It is not yet stable. There are naturally countries that subvert Malaya, but it certainly does not include Malaya alone.
Indonesia accounts for one-tenth of Asia's income.
The gap has reached ten times. This is no longer something that can be explained by statistical differences. Anyone with eyes can see the difference between the two places. Indonesia after independence is far worse than Malaya, which was still a colonial state.
"But by the way, will private companies allow you to integrate?" Alyssa sat down and asked, dragging her chin with one hand.
"Of course, not all domestic enterprises are nationalized. They also accept the guidance of various committees. The United Kingdom is not the United States." Alan Wilson chuckled, and the four major family groups, including the Swire Group and the Jardine Matheson Group, were included.
Integration does not mean nationalizing them, it just means better helping them when they encounter a crisis.
Accept the guidance of the British and fight hand-to-hand in the Far East with Japan, which is eager to go to sea. When you see a threat, you must detect it early and deal with it early. You cannot wait until Japan becomes bigger and tries to contain it. By then it will be too late.
Alan Wilson also thinks about the United States. If Japan really expands, it will be difficult for the United States to deal with it. So it is 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 that Japan is worth the effort and effort to come to Japan yourself."
Alan Wilson formulated a strategy for Southeast Asia with British-owned enterprises in Malaya as the core, and needed an executor to oversee its implementation. Alyssa was the perfect candidate. The key was reliability.
Naturally, this strategy was aimed at Japan, and she couldn't hide it from Alyssa, but she didn't understand that a Far Eastern country was so threatened by a powerful enemy? Did Alan Wilson make a special trip?
"Japan's population is almost twice that of the United Kingdom. Do you understand that national strength is measured in total and not in per capita terms?"
Alan Wilson explained, "If Japan can develop to the point where the income of British citizens is half that of British citizens in the future, then Japan will already be the same economy as the United Kingdom in terms of total volume. The funds provided by the United Kingdom and the funds provided by Japan will be
From a national perspective, they are the same, no one is worse than the other."
In later generations, India was poor enough, but it still relied on its large size to dominate in South Asia. The total amount was large enough, and the power it unleashed was enough. This cannot be faked.
Now the UK can only rely on its previous technology accumulation and decentralize some industries to Malaya to cope with Japanese companies going overseas. Anyway, Alan Wilson can't think of any other way.
How difficult it is to deal with Japan depends on how you look at it. It is definitely not difficult to fight, otherwise Alan Wilson would have surrendered.
Some industries are so exhausted that Japan cannot develop them, such as civilian passenger aircraft. The United Kingdom has accumulated experience in this area, but Japan does not. Later, when Japan was at its peak, it wanted to develop large aircraft, but it was useless.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The technical content of aircraft manufacturing is much higher than that of cars, and the capital investment required is also at another level. Japan finally threw away tens of billions of dollars, but did not
There was a splash of water from the big plane.
But there is one thing that Japan did well, and it obviously failed. As long as I don’t say it failed, it doesn’t count as a failure.
At No. 10 Downing Street, Norman Brooke was invited. Prime Minister Eden had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the head of the civil service, he spoke directly, "Berlicky sent a telegram to express his dissatisfaction with Allen and believed that the Overseas Assets Management Committee
There is no reason to integrate British-owned enterprises in Hong Kong."
"That's it!" Norman Brooke replied with a sigh of relief after hearing this. "The Hong Kong Governor's dissatisfaction is normal, but Allen also has his own reasons. This time Britain compromised on the Iran issue with the United States, allowing him to
Deeply stimulated, I went directly to the Far East after leaving Iran to integrate British-owned enterprises and increase economic strength."
Conflict broke out between Robert Brown and Alan Wilson over money issues. The root cause was that shortly after becoming governor of Hong Kong, Robert Brown announced to the Legislative Council that Hong Kong had obtained "financial autonomy" and that the Hong Kong government would no longer need to hand over its budget to London.
review.
In terms of economic affairs, there will no longer be a need to seek the consent of the Colonial Secretary for economic decisions in the future. The Hong Kong government can independently formulate its own economic policies, and the Colonial Office will only intervene in Hong Kong's external borrowing matters.
London disagreed with Xiangjiang's proposal for financial independence, especially Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke. So Alan Wilson went to the Far East and used the Overseas Assets Management Committee to cover British-owned enterprises in Xiangjiang. Naturally, he
Full support.
"Are you fighting over overseas British capital?" Aiden addressed you as such, indicating that he was not unclear about the root cause of this conflict.
"It's not about fighting, but about using overseas economic power more effectively to serve Britain." Norman Brooke explained calmly, "And I tell the truth, the resistance of the Hong Kong Governor is in vain. Dear Prime Minister, do you want to
Thinking about who Allen's wife is, many British-owned enterprises in Hong Kong rely on partners of the Mountbatten Group. As long as Pamela says a word, they will not care what the Hong Kong Governor says."
Capital and capital are also different. The largest group in the UK is undoubtedly the Mountbatten Group. In the oil industry alone, Mountbatten Oil Company is not a rival to BP. In the automobile industry alone, Land Rover and other cars have no advantage.
.
But the Mountbatten Group not only has two industries. Civilian aircraft manufacturing is divided into two industries around the world. Not to mention the mining industry. The Mountbatten Group, which is deeply involved in Australia, is already considered the strongest in the world.
"Indeed, what little girl Pamela says now is more effective than me, the Prime Minister, in some fields." Aiden smiled bitterly, "She has been living in Perth, Australia, right?"
"When the weather gets cold in London, she will go to the southern hemisphere." Norman Brooke answered 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 Britain."
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 looked at his wife sideways while holding the telegram. "He's just a governor. When he leaves office, shouldn't he wait for Whitehall's arrangements for retirement? Or go to the House of Lords. I really think he's
Is the term unlimited?”
"You put your hand on someone else's plate. Aren't you a little dissatisfied?" Pamela Mountbatten reached out and grabbed the telegram and read it over. She said nonchalantly, "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 relies on funds to speak for itself. You have the money and I have the power. We can do whatever we want in the UK."
