Chapter 1493: Supporting the younger brother of the devil
"Of course I am leaving with the head of the family." Pamela Mountbatten expressed her youngest daughter's mentality, and then resumed her dignified manner as the richest woman, "Our daughter will be back in a few days."
"Oh, Arnold will be happy. Our precious son seems to be in a difficult financial situation recently." When Alan Wilson talked about his children, the smile on his face was very sincere.
Arnold, the younger son, didn't say anything in any aspect. After all, the supreme authority believed that his son was still his best.
But it's not like he can't find any faults. Arnold is like a younger brother in the term "Fu Di Mo". From time to time, he wants to take advantage of his eldest sister. Although he may not need it himself, he just enjoys bullying her eldest sister.
An adjustment to deal with boring study.
Pamela Mountbatten just stayed with her husband and told her daughter that this time it was a streamlined version of traveling around the world. She spent some time in Newfoundland, Goa and the Casino. "The situation in Lisbon is prepared."
Give up all the colonies, and if you want to evacuate, evacuate completely. The New Delhi government is already ready to take over Goa. Needless to say, Jakarta has long wanted the Portuguese to get out. Regarding the sovereignty of Timor Island, Canberra intends to make it independent.
Get rid of Indonesia's ambitions. I hope we can stand on Australia's side. Unexpectedly, the casino is not prepared to take over before the lease period comes."
"We will study this issue carefully when Pamela comes back." Alan Wilson took twice the whiskey from the passing waiter's tray, handed it to his wife directly, and said, "Australia really needs to control some outer islands as buffers. Emperor
Wen Island is located in the northwest of Australia, and it can indeed serve as a barrier. But if we do this, Indonesia's hatred will be permanently transferred to Australia."
The situation of Timor Island is special. In fact, only half of it is a Portuguese colony. It is called East Timor. It was just before and after Sukarno declared independence from the Netherlands that the British used some means to help the Portuguese army occupy the western part of the island. At that time, Indonesia had already
Become independent.
In a sense, Indonesia faced Portuguese aggression as soon as it became independent. Of course, the British were similar in this matter. They transferred the surrounding islands that could serve as barriers to the jurisdiction of Malaya with the understanding of the Dutch.
These islands now do not belong to Malaya, but are part of the Straits Settlements that were redivided before the end of Alan Wilson's term.
That is to say, these offshore islands, many of which have sold their permanent residence rights to the royal families of the Middle East, belong to the Straits Settlements where the Chinese make up the majority, rather than the Malayan colonies where the Malays make up the majority. The more chaotic the division, the better.
Conducive to exerting balance.
Today is the dinner before the Prime Minister leaves office. The Queen is here in person, so it is not suitable to discuss these matters. It is better to wait until the daughter gets home to discuss these matters.
It was Queen Elizabeth's first time to attend a prime minister's resignation dinner. In fact, apart from Harold Wilson, only Churchill had this treatment in history.
However, in a time and space where supreme authority existed, Churchill was unlucky and did not return to No. 10 Downing Street after the war as his ambition was unfulfilled.
Harold Wilson was also extremely flattered by the Queen's attendance. He looked radiant and proudly puffed out his chest like a patriot from the East End of London. He accepted the Queen's praise of his career as prime minister.
"What does Her Majesty the Queen think of the honors list drawn up by the Prime Minister?" Alan Wilson was still whispering to his wife from the angle, asking about the exchange of benefits.
"All approved, the Queen will not hinder this kind of thing again." Pamela Mountbatten nodded. "Although the Prime Minister resigned, he can still play a role in the House of Commons, so he only accepts medals for now. As for the title, wait until when he
I will only issue it if I am not willing to work in the House of Commons."
"Where's Horn, how are you going to arrange it?" Alan Wilson took a sip of whiskey to cover up his question, Robin Wilson, Horn Wilson are Harold Wilson's two sons, both less than thirty this year.
Years old, the younger son Horn is very similar in appearance to the Prime Minister's father. I don't know if he has written a chapter called My Prime Minister's Father.
"It has been arranged, but his youngest son seems not to have this ambition. But I will do what I should do." Pamela Mountbatten replied in a low voice. At this time, No. 10 Downing Street burst into thunderous applause. It was for the Queen.
It is also for the outgoing Prime Minister. Starting from tomorrow, the UK will usher in a new Prime Minister.
Starting from the next day, Britain entered the era of Prime Minister Callaghan. Everything seemed to be going smoothly and no obvious changes occurred.
A few days later, he and Pamela Mountbatten's baby daughter returned to London. Apparently, the eldest daughter was ready to take over the management of the property that her parents did not need to worry about the least. This was already the industry that they did not need to worry about the least.
, according to Arnold, if this industry cannot be managed, it will have to rely on its own efforts.
"Unlike India and Indonesia, who can't wait for the Portuguese to leave, they are not in a hurry." Pamela talked about the problem in Macau with a face of surprise, and then changed the subject, "Goa's funds are fleeing in large quantities. It seems that
It is also related to the uncertain future of India caused by Indira Gandhi's policies."
"Maybe it's just according to the time of the treaty, there is no other reason." Old Arnold said, "My good sister, how do you feel about the gaming industry?"
"It is really surprising. Newfoundland is at least twice as wealthy as the United States and Canada." Pamela said suddenly, "But the level of the casino and Hong Kong does not widen the gap."
"Huh? I didn't expect to have to wipe the Portuguese's butt." Alan Wilson muttered and then said, "It's very simple. The casino should start to transform. At least it can't rely entirely on the gambling industry."
Decades later, the gambling city returned to a certain big country and became the first of the four major gambling cities in the world. But to be fair, this top of the four major gambling cities has the lowest income among residents.
Although Las Vegas lost its title as the number one casino city around the 1990s, its income far exceeded the period when it was the number one casino city.
The gaming industry in Las Vegas stagnated and began to decline in the 1990s, before the casino returned to a major country.
So Las Vegas began to think about how to attract more people, and came to the conclusion that people who love gambling are a fixed proportion no matter which country they are in. They will not leave the casino just because the environment is so bad, nor will they leave.
It will sink because of how magnificent the casino is.
People who like gambling will not leave, and people who don’t like gambling will not come after hearing about the reputation of Las Vegas. Therefore, Las Vegas began to transform into an entertainment city, and lost the number one casino city in the transformation.
throne, but the city as a whole has not been affected, and city residents still earn twice as much as the average American.
A large proportion of the income of celebrities who are famous but not first-line stars in the United States comes from performances in Las Vegas, shopping, entertainment and a series of family fun, especially in terms of shopping, including all famous celebrities in the world.
Brands are attracting female consumers, and there are also playground projects to attract children.
"The fame of the casino depends on the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang. However, the area of the casino is too small and there is nothing for sightseeing." Alan Wilson thought for a moment, "The entertainment city not only has a gaming industry to build, but also
Let’s see if the casino government is determined. Any entertainment project must be developed. After a while, we will examine Hollywood and see if we can transplant some methods. I have never been there, and I don’t know what the luxury yachts on the beach are.
Look."
"I feel pretty good. Is it in line with the tax-free zone and other policies?" Arnold replied, "The key is what the Portuguese think. Portugal has changed its government again, and the information is relatively confusing."
"It's not an imminent matter. At this time, there is enough time to adjust slowly." Alan Wilson told his good son that there was no need to worry, and there was enough time.
The casino is still worthy of development, at least it should be balanced with Xiangjiang. Alan Wilson knows in his heart that once it returns, the income of the casino will easily exceed that of Xiangjiang.
Even if the number of people who like gambling is a fixed proportion in any country, the population is so large that it can’t live better than Xiangjiang without any transformation at all.
The failure of the casino city is compared with Las Vegas. Compared with Xiangjiang, it is not a failure at all. It completely beats Xiangjiang.
Before the handover, the per capita income of the casino city was more than half of that of the people in Xiangjiang. If it transformed early, the casino city might be on an equal footing with Xiangjiang. Once there are a large number of tourists after the handover, it is a high probability that Hong Kong will be far behind. Transformation
It's early, maybe the income from the casino will far exceed that of the special zone in his memory.
After the couple finished talking to their daughter, Alan Wilson took his wife upstairs directly, leaving the rest of the time with the siblings. Arnold coughed softly, cleared his throat and said, "Pamela."
"Why are you talking to your sister?" Pamela stared blankly, hoping that her brother would retreat and not jump out to cause trouble.
"I don't want to, but there is nothing my father can do to you. But I have to say some things." Arnold took out the diary unmoved, and took the opportunity to lick his fingers and read from the book, "Then we will start from the Rhodesian royal family.
Counting the nature reserves in the territory, Southern Rhodesia is in the midst of a guerrilla war, and my father is actually not satisfied with the random demarcation of land in Africa. This is the first point..."
"I will supervise and correct the above eight mistakes you made during this period. Regarding the future development trend of the gaming industry, it is best to write a report and pass it to my father." Arnold closed the diary.
, with a look of aftertaste on his face, he thought seriously for a while and decided that there was nothing to add. He really wanted to add more.
