"Pauline's death is a sad thing. She has been very good to you for so many years." Alan Wilson was managing his own special relationship between Britain and the United States at this time. Garland, who was raised by Pauline Gaudai, was also
Anna's other child came to London after a busy period of work after attending Pauline Godard's funeral.
The father and son did not have many opportunities to meet each other, but they had always kept in touch through letters. Garland had lived in the United States for a long time, and it was inevitable that he would continue to live in the United States in the future. Alan Wilson asked if there was anything he could do to help.
.
"Mother has a question." Garland hesitated and finally said, "Have you ever had feelings for her? What I mean by feelings is love."
"Of course there is, it's not a problem at all." There is but not much, but who is the supreme authority? He is known as the most affectionate person in Europe, and he can show his full devotion even if he is even a little bit.
Garland is obviously satisfied with this answer. Although he has already grown up and will not be psychologically burdened by a problem, it is always a good thing. "Although my father cannot go to the United States often, he has been very kind to me over the years.
They care about me, have many plans and give good suggestions.”
"You have some credit, but mainly you have to rely on yourself." Alan Wilson did not take credit. There is no need to do this with his own children. "Your environment is different from mine. This kind of thing is like food.
Likewise, there is essentially no distinction between superior and inferior, this example is not universal, and British food cannot be put on the table.”
Of course, American food has absorbed parts of British food, and it's not much better. McDonald's and KFC are popular around the world, but it really has nothing to do with their own skills.
"Father, you have forgotten that my mother is a director of KFC." Garland said this and asked, "I heard that this was also your suggestion?"
"Uh, yes." Alan Wilson pondered for a moment, as if he had said this once when he visited the United States in the 1960s, and Pauline Godard really listened.
But having said that, I don’t have many female friends in the United States, and I don’t go there often. He can’t change his habit of being loud in front of women. It’s true that his friends have benefited a lot.
The American Dream really existed back then. In the future, the American Dream will really be just a dream. As for now? It still depends on whether the United States can reap the dividends from the disintegration of the Soviet Union. If not, maybe the American Dream will wake up earlier.
, after all, the sphere of influence left by the Soviet Union can be digested by Europe and the United States for a while.
Since career was mentioned, Alan Wilson naturally became interested and asked Garland if his current career was going well. After all, there are still many opportunities in the United States. This opportunity refers to new industries, not steel, automobiles, petroleum and rubber, etc.
The famous flower already has its owner, and the pattern will not change much.
"This year, I have made great progress with Dell." Garland mentioned his big move this year, which is the cooperation with Dell.
In March, the Chinese computer king Wang An passed away from illness. His computer company is no longer as prosperous as it was in the past. Now that the founders are dead, the company's fate has been doomed. From being prosperous to being miserable now, there are actually only
Five or six years.
As for Dell, it is now in a stage of rapid development, which coincides with the decline of Wang An's company. When Wang An's company suffered losses, Dell was expanding significantly. In 1986, Dell's annual income
has reached US$60 million.
The next year, at the age of 22, Dell was named the "Young Entrepreneur" of 1986 by the American College Entrepreneur Association, thus standing out in the American business community.
Then, he began to expand overseas, and Dell established wholly-owned subsidiaries in Canada and the Federal Republic of Germany. Subsequently, he boldly reformed the company structure, provided a more effective global unified product resources, and centralized sales and marketing support.
The only secret to his success is to sell computers directly, eliminate intermediate links, and become a businessman who does not produce parts but only assembles. The fundamental secret is to keep the interests of the original middlemen for himself.
In fact, there is nothing creative about this, just like Sam Walton opening every chain store to small towns, but Dell's advantage is that he knows that Walton's principles can also be invincible in the computer industry.
"This is not a big problem in the short term, but anyone can be a middleman. This is not a stable profit point. Of course, you are an investor and it has nothing to do with you. This is a good business."
Alan Wilson still chooses to tell the truth. He feels that Dell's strategy is not impeccable. In essence, it is the same as its conscience, and it is a company that eats leftovers.
Of course it's okay for a good boy and Dell to be good brothers for a few years. Garland also agreed with this point, "The close relationship between Dell and I happened when Dell was in crisis. I gave him a hand."
So Garland introduced the causes and consequences. Last year, the excessive success made Dell feel a little elated. He was still too young, so he did not expect that extreme joy would lead to sorrow. As the company develops, the increasing scale conflicts with its management style. Like every
Like a company built from scratch, it faces a leap or an abyss.
Too rapid growth caused dysfunctional problems. The company was unable to sort out profits and losses according to product types. It encountered many difficulties in infrastructure and management operations, and it fell out of control.
Dell tried to save the situation through its usual retail channels, but it was too late. The company suffered a quarterly loss and its stock price plummeted. Production planning was so poor that it had to stop the laptop production line. Faced with this
In a hot market, the company could only miss the opportunity and be a bystander for a whole year.
It was also at this time that Garland's consistent support helped Dell get out of trouble and not become a wave on the beach this year.
Alan Wilson listened carefully to Garland's career progress, and then asked, "How is Monroe's life in the United States? Is everything going well?"
"Very good, and his career is commendable. He has a very good relationship with Steve Jobs. But Gates has always wanted to get in touch with Sheen." Garland asked, "Is he in London? How about direct contact this time?"
Come with me to America."
"Maybe not, maybe next year. He has his own affairs to deal with this year." Alan Wilson refused directly. Now that he thought about his son, he still didn't have enough children, and he actually felt stretched.
He had to keep a son in Kiev to keep an eye on, and now Hepburn's son couldn't leave.
But it will be fine next year. From now on, the United States will rely on these three sons who have the same status as brothers to achieve micro-management. If the machine gun can be moved thirty meters, it must not be more than one centimeter.
Of course the United States is important. If children in every country have good development, the United States alone has nothing to do with it. This is completely unreasonable. The United States is there. He does not have the ability to pretend that the United States does not exist. So not only
You have to put the big ones there, and put a few more, otherwise you will always feel uneasy.
There is nothing to hide. You can tell Garland directly, "One person cannot control all industries by himself. This is beyond one person's ability in all aspects. So it is not a bad thing for you to have several brothers developing together in the United States.
No one has ever denied the power of the United States."
"I know, father." Garland actually didn't understand, but that didn't stop him from answering decisively. He was even very, very interested. Is this all? Are there any in other countries?
Of course there is, but there is no need for Garland to know now. After all, it means that France does not have his son, but it is the same with two beautiful daughters.
There is no one left behind, not even Sweden, a powerful country from unknown centuries ago, has been left behind.
There are some other things that Alan Wilson wants to remind Garland. He must control the media so that he can easily amplify his voice. In this new era, when the Internet is developing, Garland had better pay attention to this aspect.
Garland pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it like CNN?"
CNN is a cutting-edge media in the United States. Compared with the three traditional major media, CNN has a short history, but it has a history of ten years in the news field. At the beginning of its establishment, the Cable News Network officially started its 24-year history.
Live news broadcast for hours.
News offices have been established in major cities in the United States and around the world. Direct and unedited news is broadcast, breaking geographical boundaries and allowing everything to happen simultaneously. This is a brand new kind of TV news that is completely different from the past.
!
Less than a year after CNN was founded, the founder made it clear: to join the White House press corps. Of course, the three major television networks and the White House did not take CNN seriously and refused to accept CNN.
But CNN began to use the law to protect its rights and interests, just as he used the law to win the right to send satellites for the first time. He sued the White House for violating the Fair Trade Act by setting up a press corps, and the target also included the then President Reagan.
Baker and Secretary Haig.
Eight months later, the law gave Turner and his CNN another chance to move forward. CNN obtained a senior reporter's seat in the White House press corps. Courage and risk-taking enabled CNN to compete with the three giants.
"You can make a portal on the Internet." Alan Wilson replied, "It's not too early at all. You should invest in building your own media circle."
When the portals in a big country were most prosperous, they were Sina, Pig Farm, Penguin and Sohu. Of course, the portals soon collapsed in a big country. Sina with Weibo and Penguin with communication software were fine, but Sohu completely fell behind.
, but at this time, the portal clearly has a long way to go.
"I will pay attention to this aspect when I go back." Garland solemnly promised that although his father liked micro-management, it was undeniable that his vision was accurate. It would be better if he did not become a civil servant and became a businessman.
But when he thought of Lady Mountbatten, the richest man in Britain, Garland felt relieved again. There was no difference.
Currently, the most explosive news coming from the Soviet Union is that the Khitans have announced their withdrawal from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and officially broke with Tutou. This means that the Khitans are openly fighting against Tutou. Obviously, this move has a negative impact on Sache.
Mrs. Trump's insistence on clinging to the end of the Cold War is not good news.
As the largest administrative subject in the Soviet Union, Russia's leaders are no longer members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. It is obviously inappropriate for Mrs. Thatcher to advocate the Soviet threat theory.
Even the American media is changing, from being a close ally, spokesperson for special relations, and a charismatic female politician in the Reagan era, to now being a troublemaker, a war maniac, an uneasy ally of the United States, and even a suspicious, huge political force.
Ambition etc.
With the UK's ability to fight public opinion, it would not be able to affect the British mainland under normal circumstances. However, this time the British public opinion was shocked and had no ability to resist in the face of this attack. How could the United States ridicule Mrs. Thatcher with just one click?
Forward it so Mrs. Thatcher can hear it clearly.
Faced with the Prime Minister's outburst, Alan Wilson remained silent, saying that this was all the fault of the United States. After all, wasn't it you who promoted the special relationship between Britain and the United States? It is only normal for American public opinion to infiltrate it.
"Is this my fault?" Mrs. Thatcher was very angry after being screwed by the United States. She asked angrily, "I'm not trying to protect Britain's status."
"Isn't this the result of relying on the United States for protection? Being an enemy of the United States is dangerous, and being a friend of the United States is fatal. The Prime Minister avoided the danger and then handed over his life to the Americans. He should have this understanding. This day will come sooner or later.
." The supreme authority is full of lies. British public opinion is not effective, mainly because he has not increased money.
Now Alan Wilson can conclude that because the conflict between the Khitans and the Tutou has intensified, it is certain that the end of the Cold War promoted by the United States will be more widely recognized. As for Mrs. Thatcher's opposition, it is just one more occasion to be scolded.
"Isn't this what you want to see?" Mrs. Thatcher believed that things were not that simple, and kept saying, "You are essentially a European. Now that the special relationship has collapsed, Britain has only Europe as a choice."
"Actually, there is only one choice. I don't know what the basis for the existence of the Atlantic faction is. Is it to immigrate to the United States one day?" Alan Wilson said with an indifferent smile, "From the comparison of trade volume with Europe and the United States, it is
I can see how to choose, but I wonder where the Prime Minister thinks the UK should stand now?"
Choosing Europe is a slap in the face to Mrs Thatcher's long-term personality, but there is nothing we can do now. The United States has scolded the Iron Lady to pieces this time. Such public curses and accusations are enough to prevent Mrs Thatcher from coming to power.
"I will talk to Mitterrand about how to lead Europe."
"Yes, Prime Minister." Alan Wilson imitated the tone of the classic chant, and immediately picked up the phone and called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Under various blows, Britain was about to turn.
