Chapter 1,450 India makes money and India spends money
Fortseva asked her daughter to recall whether the father and son had ever discussed the origin of the war when they were in London. Alexeyev thought about it for a long time and replied, "That's not true, but I did say that about Israel."
There is a lack of water resources, and quality citizens cannot change this fact."
"Jordan River!" Fortseva pondered for a moment and replied affirmatively. "Egypt once said that it would divert the Jordan River to trap Israel. Once the water source is cut off, Israel will definitely go to war. So once the Arab League countries are in
If a consensus is reached on this, Israel will launch an attack. Also at risk is the Golan Heights. Lake Tiberias in the Golan Heights is the largest freshwater lake in the area, and Israel cannot use the saltwater lake in the Dead Sea."
Alexeyev raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "So, if the proposal to divert the Jordan River is discussed at the next Arab League meeting, Israel will have to take action."
Now Alexeyev believed his father's judgment. The Cultural Czar's current vision was definitely higher than his and asked him to come back and discuss this issue with his mother.
"Absolutely." Fortseva said to herself that you have only met him a few times, and she is the one who has had long-lasting and in-depth communication with him.
Israel has a small population, only more than three million people, but even with these people, water resources are still a big problem. Once the water source problem is threatened, it will be forced to choose war.
Why hasn't this approach been thought of before? Isn't it because Britain has been working hard for the Palestinian-Israeli peace talks and suppressed the discussion of diversion of the Jordan River? The main reason is that the construction of Gaza and the West Bank has not been completed. Now the fortress
Now that the urbanized town and air defense tower have been built, there is no need to worry.
Fortseva absolutely believed that the bad guy would definitely release the news that the water supply was cut off and force Israel to take action. He would definitely be able to do it.
"Somewhere, I seem to feel that someone is missing me." Alan Wilson, who was at the door, muttered feeling good about himself, then shamelessly looked back at Monroe, "If my sexy goddess speaks now, then
I won’t leave.”
"Go to work quickly! I don't dare to delay you from benefiting society." Monroe glanced at her, full of charm, and kissed the man's cheek as if coaxing a child, and then pushed her supreme authority away.
"I try to think of ways to make the world a better place every day." Alan Wilson proudly puffed out his chest and set out with a glass of wolfberry Shiran.
I thought it would be another idle day waiting for the latest developments in the Watergate incident. Commonwealth Secretary-General John Hunt came directly to the door. His solemn expression made Alan Wilson wonder whether the Warsaw Pact troops had overthrown him just an hour ago.
The Berlin Wall officially started a world war?
"Indira Gandhi announced the nationalization of insurance companies, private coal mines, steel companies, textile factories, etc." John Hunter spoke directly after sitting down.
Of course, there are also the social control of banks, the nationalization of the general insurance industry, the gradual stateization of private import and export trade, the food rationing policy, the restriction of personal speculation income on urban land, the abolition of the privileges of princes, ensuring the minimum food demand, and the promotion of land
reform and rural development plans, etc.
"In the insurance and banking industries, we have several companies that have suffered heavy losses. The Prime Minister believes that he will know soon. Company representatives hope that the Cabinet will come up with a way to prevent the loss of British capital through diplomatic means."
Alan Wilson nodded expressionlessly and asked John Hunter, "I remember I reminded that the two funds must not enter the Indian market? John, let's be honest, do we have any losses?"
"Alan, absolutely not, I guarantee it with my degree." John Hunter swore that the Commonwealth Fund and the Prosperity Foundation would never enter the Indian market.
"That's no problem." Alan Wilson's face immediately turned relaxed, and he looked completely different from the previous person. "Maybe this is life, and sometimes things like this happen."
How many British companies may suffer heavy losses from Indira Gandhi's nationalization? What does this have to do with Whitehall? In business, there are losses and profits. There is no reason why you can only make profits but not losses.
"But these damaged companies have already persuaded several Conservative MPs." John Hunter looked at Alan Wilson when he said this, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Then what? Land in Mumbai and capture New Delhi?" Alan Wilson chuckled, "It's not like we haven't warned you to be cautious when investing in India. Either be more direct and generous and cooperate with Tata and Birla, or don't go in. Someone
Do you listen to us? You want it and want it, and now you are looking for us again? Why not appeal to the Supreme Court of India and start a lawsuit with India? Anyway, the result is the same."
"Is there really no way?" John Hunter could not be said to be disappointed, but it was British companies that suffered losses, and he still hoped to make up for it.
"John, if you don't share profits with the local conglomerates in India, it seems that only one company is making money." Alan Wilson took a sip of wolfberry and replied helplessly.
"Which one?" Listening to the increasingly outrageous words of supreme authority, John Hunter was also aroused and wanted to know who this company was.
"You have also heard of this company, which played a major role in British history." Alan Wilson licked his lips and gave the answer, "East India Company."
There is nothing Alan Wilson can do about this matter. Everyone in India is equal in this regard, and it is not aimed at Britain. There must be victims from other countries. It is not once or twice that nationalized enterprises have caused heavy losses to Britain. This account
The Soviet Union should be blamed.
Just like Indonesia killing the Communist Party of Indonesia, it can only be said that Indonesia ignores the United States and is a cowardly move.
Without the Soviet Union, would any country dare to confiscate British assets as soon as they were nationalized?
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He has no reason to help these British companies seek justice. Anyway, he has reminded Pamela Mountbatten before to watch some aristocratic companies.
Go to India, India is where you make money and spend money, and I want to take it home.
If you want to make money in India without being cut off, you have to find deep integration with India's local snakes, or find asset-light industry operations, and run away at any time through the Bombay Stock Exchange.
Soon, No. 10 Downing Street also summoned him. Naturally, he met the political secretary Maria Falconde again, "Maria, what's the matter?"
"It's not the nationalization bill of India. Is there anything you can do, Sir? You were once an official of British India." Maria Falconde revealed the purpose very cooperatively.
"Then I really have no choice. It's normal to have losses and profits in business." Alan Wilson did not change his original intention and said that he could not help. The ones that were damaged were not the enterprises of the aristocratic class, not the British state-owned investments, so the losses were losses.
Well, isn’t that what a market economy is all about?
After waiting for a while, Harold Wilson did talk about the issue of nationalization of Indira Gandhi. Alan Wilson said with a smile, "If you do this, India will encounter big problems sooner or later. Even the textile industry is nationalized. It is simply
It is courting death. Although the textile industry is a labor-intensive enterprise that can create a lot of employment, the profits of the textile industry are too low, and the disadvantages of nationalization far outweigh the benefits. The profits of the textile industry are so low that any country can
Do you want to trade such low profits for a national fiscal deficit? Is it worth it?"
"Not to mention the textile industry, even coal and steel, it would be good if the balance of payments can be balanced. Nationalized industries should be concentrated in industries that can make money even if they are lying down, and the burden should be dumped to let the people fend for themselves. At the same time,
Increase the source of national finance. If we compare it with Australia, Australia's mining industry is very suitable for nationalization. But private enterprises will not cause a burden. After all, Australia's foundation is too unique. India has too many people, and it chooses such a low-profit industry.
The inefficiency brought about by the nationalization of industries completely offsets the advantages."
The more Harold Wilson heard, the more uncomfortable he became, and he said, "But when I nationalized steel, coal, and even the water supply system, you didn't object."
"Prime Minister, I am not opposed to everything. When the water supply system was nationalized, I was very supportive, because local citizens are contributing fiscal revenue every day. Of course I will not oppose it. As for coal and steel, I am just
The Prime Minister just convinced me."
Alan Wilson shrugged, "Pretending not to see the drawbacks. In fact, in the field of nationalization, no matter how hard we try, it is impossible to have a Soviet Union run by a planned economic commission, but this is a trend in Europe.
When the cabinet makes a bold decision, Whitehall can only do its best to cooperate."
In fact, the effect of Indira Gandhi's nationalization lasted less than ten years. Nationalized enterprises caused a decline in efficiency, and sick enterprises became a bottomless pit of financial subsidies. The skyrocketing price of international oil also increased costs and foreign exchange shortages.
The biggest effect may be that many state-owned enterprises in India have been sold by Modi, and for a period of time they have become an important means for him to raise funds to make up for India's fiscal expenditures.
This is of course also a benefit. Alan Wilson is actually looking forward to the Conservative Party coming to power again and starting privatization. The sale of British state-owned enterprises is an opportunity to realize cash. Dukes and earls far away in Australia will definitely be waiting with money in their hands.
Hope, waiting to regain the dominance of the local economy.
As for the Prime Minister's talk about whether diplomatic means can be used to recover the losses of British companies, Alan Wilson said that he would try it in accordance with the procedures, but don't expect any results.
"By the way, Prime Minister, the Arab League summit in August may be a test for British diplomacy." Alan Wilson suddenly said in a confused tone.
