Chapter 283 Distinguished guests arrive in New Delhi
History will eventually prove that it is not advisable to take regret medicine. I repeated what I said to Hedy Lamarr, but did not reveal who the others among you are.
Alan Wilson desperately hoped that Joan Crawford would be a human being and give himself a chance. If time could be turned back, he would definitely be more careful and not be discovered.
A man's mouth is a liar. He promised to only sleep and did everything. Joan Crawford never believed this kind of thing. Other actresses were more or less born in a good family. Even if
It is possible to live a stable life without becoming a star.
Joan Crawford was born at the bottom of the class. At first, she even cried and begged to get a job as a stripper.
I don't believe Ellen Wilson's self-justification, but this matter has nothing to do with Joan Crawford. She just wanted to share her findings and had no intention of getting anything from Ellen Wilson.
"I didn't expect you to be a good person." Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief. He was sweating nervously just now. He thought it would be okay to do two of them, but he couldn't create an accident and told all these actresses.
British India was waiting to see American movie fans mourn, but luckily, Joan Crawford brought him back from the brink of crime.
"Do you think I care about your bad affairs? Vivian and I have no conflict after all. If it were Betty, I might not be so easy to talk to." Joan Crawford squinted her eyes, with a strong sense of coldness in her eyes.
He couldn't get over it, "I know Betty looks down on me, and I also look down on her."
"Joan, I don't look down on those people who are arrogant just because of their background. I also came from a miserable background, and I got to where I am today step by step." If things were more serious, Alan Wilson would probably kneel before Joan Crawford.
In front of me, I hugged my thighs and begged to be let go. Now that it was not so serious, I immediately stated my position and narrowed the distance between the two parties, "I am one of ours."
"Are you one of ours?" With a bad expression, Joan Crawford stretched out her finger to hook the man's chin, and then said sternly, "Don't worry, I appreciate people who work hard. With Weiwei
With Ann's fame, your dream can come true."
Along the way, Joan Crawford has sacrificed too much, and I resonate with Alan Wilson's words that I also came from a miserable background. Once upon a time, she also went from one red sofa to another for a role, and that's how she is today.
Alan Wilson has been regarded as the male version of himself by Joan Crawford. He is all about living a better life. There is nothing to blame. He is just eating soft food.
After gaining another identity as a soft-boiled boy in Joan Crawford, Alan Wilson escaped unscathed. He was frightened twice in one day, and he was a little shaken when he walked.
My working spirit on the second day was not very optimistic, and I couldn’t even think of how good India is!
Fortunately, Vivien Leigh's India tour has already begun. When the news came out, newspapers across the entire British India published a series of articles, achieving a sensational effect, attracting the attention of the entire British India, and reducing a lot of pressure on the Governor's Office.
The goddesses walking in the subcontinent have reduced the work pressure of the Governor's Mansion a lot. The most important task is to write a news article covering the entire page with the title of "What Indian delicacies did Bergman and Garbo taste"
.
It doesn't really matter whether they ate or not. If the Governor's Office said they ate and said it was delicious, that would be a piece of news.
For Alan Wilson, there was another official matter that was not suitable for others to know. Li Jisheng came back with a lot of gains, which made Alan Wilson very happy. He held the gold coin with the lion pattern and couldn't put it down.
"We closed the local English school, saved a lot of expenses, and focused all our energy on trade. The harvest in a few months was very great." Li Jisheng eloquently recounted his achievements.
"I see it, I see it." Alan Wilson kept nodding, his attention never moving away from the gold coins for even a second. Of course, he soon expressed his apology for his performance just now, because a golden Buddha was destroyed by Li
Ji Sheng pushed it out, and the scraping sound on the table showed that it was heavy.
Listening to Li Jisheng's words of praise for his hard work, Alan Wilson stared at his eyes and said in agreement, "The British Empire will never forget your work in a difficult environment. I will see that after this matter is over
, you can completely change your position as a specialist.”
This verbal commendation can be said to be without sincerity. Where Li Jisheng will go in the future has nothing to do with him. He can go wherever he likes, but now, "there is still a need to strengthen the work. You also know that precious metals are now scarce in the country."
"We are all thinking about the British Empire. Don't think that the current work is useless. If we bring this gold to the mainland and exchange it for pounds, aren't we supporting the local economy?"
Alan Wilson righteously emphasized the huge role that colonial officials returning to the homeland had in promoting the local economy. Haven't you noticed that in many novels, the protagonists who return from British India are either rich or noble?
Art comes from life. Who dares to say that these people who returned from the colonies did not promote the progress of the British Empire?
The patriotism from this perspective made Li Jisheng awe-inspiring. How could he have become the assistant commissioner of British India in his twenties? He had traveled around the subcontinent for half his life, and now he was still an errand boy.
This awareness alone is not on the same level. With the encouragement of the Assistant Commissioner, Li Jisheng's motivation is even higher.
"As long as I'm here, you can do it boldly. General Mountbatten will take office at the end of the year, and no one will hold him accountable." Alan Wilson pulled the flag and gave Li Jisheng a hint.
It has to be said that he is surprisingly bold when it comes to money, and does not care about the consequences at all. "We are not interested in gold, but we cherish its historical value. If they cannot protect it, it is better to leave it in the hands of a country that can protect it."
, just like the British Museum, From Egypt to Babylon, what’s missing?”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The British Museum has a collection of more than 7 million cultural relics and treasures from all over the world. The number and variety of collections are rare in museums around the world. Because of the collection
It is so huge that the British Museum can display almost the entire history of civilization in the world.
The collection comes from the Middle Ages, and is especially famous for its collections from ancient Egypt and ancient Greece and Rome. It also contains a large number of precious cultural relics from Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas. Cultural treasures from many parts of the world can only be seen authentically there.
Want to see mummies in Egypt? Did you know that the British Museum has more mummies than those preserved in Egypt?
Even Alan Wilson felt that Afghanistan could develop. Of course, he did not have the power now. He would not have the opportunity to talk to the Afghans until General Mountbatten took office.
With the Golden Buddha, Alan Wilson became so motivated that he didn't even have time to talk about patents with Hedy Lamarr.
It's just that you can't have a golden Buddha every day, and patents still have to be discussed. Pamela Mountbatten, who was still in London, received a telegram from her sweetheart, saying that she could set up a communications company, but how much money did it cost to register the company?
Of course, the telegram also explained the development of the frequency hopping patent, and also explained Alan Wilson's determination to help Pamela Mountbatten develop her career at his own expense.
In the second half of the telegram, the idea of the Emerald Palace, which had been brewing for a long time, was mentioned. These two things directly made Pamela Mountbatten, who was eagerly looking forward to the end of the year, feel lighter. She walked out of the house happily and was busy communicating.
The technology company thing is gone.
Compared with the patent, Hedy Lamarr was obviously more interested in the rough stone brought back from Myanmar by Alan Wilson. This emerald green stone was unique to Myanmar and Hedy Lamarr had never seen it before.
"If only this were an emerald." Hedy Lamarr startled Alan Wilson as soon as he said it.
"I'm not kidding if there is an emerald thirty centimeters square. In the past hundred years, the British Empire has declared war on the country it is in ten times." Alan Wilson swallowed secretly. Is it easy to dream if there are too many movies?
, such a big emerald? Hedy Lamarr really dared to think about it.
The largest emerald rough stone in the world weighs only four kilograms. The emerald rough stone given to him by the Burmese is at least five times heavier.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you." Alan Wilson saw that Hedy Lamarr seemed to like it very much, so he took the initiative to say generously, "I have already sent a telegram to London and will give you the patent."
Let’s discuss it practically. Let’s set your patent royalty at five thousand pounds.”
"Fourteen thousand dollars?" Hedy Lamarr was shocked. This was not a small amount for her.
"If a product comes out, you will be paid based on a percentage." Alan Wilson nodded, "Of course, if there is no product, this may be all we have."
"How about we, all the celebrities who are still in New Delhi, invite you to dinner at the same time? Tomorrow!" Hedy Lamarr was in a good mood. She now felt that Vivien Leigh's vision was indeed better than hers. This man still had many advantages.
"Tomorrow?" Alan Wilson shook his head after hearing this and said, "I have other things to do tomorrow, let's leave it another day."
Tomorrow he is going to make a custom-made suitcase. The previous one is already full. It was a little short, but after receiving the golden Buddha, it can no longer fit in it. At the same time, he also needs to verify the authenticity of the golden Buddha. Don't be deceived by Li Jisheng.
, we are actually not very familiar with each other.
After traveling all the way through Hawaii, Tokyo, and Manila, Derek finally arrived in loyal New Delhi with a very professional and elite team as a director of the United States Steel Company.
Alan Wilson had dinner with Hedy Lamarr and Joan Crawford just yesterday. One Bette Davis was missing. I don’t know if Bette Davis knew that Derek was coming, or she was with Joan Crawford.
The reason why Crawford didn't get along was that he didn't show up when they had dinner together.
Because of this incident, Joan Crawford came up with some connotations during dinner time.
"We need to prepare for a scene that will burn Washington." Alan Wilson knew the news and began to make preparations. The opponent was not French. Although they arrived in loyal New Delhi, the Battle of Waterloo was not appropriate.
