Chapter 291 Political Accounts and Economic Accounts
As the donations from the United States arrived in Calcutta, Vivien Leigh gained huge influence throughout British India. Wherever she went, mountains roared and tsunamis roared, and endless crowds of people worshiped the goddess in their hearts with a pious attitude.
All of this was naturally recorded by the professional photographers brought by Alyssa. Of course, Vivien Leigh, who was already leading a political mission in the United States, came back this time and she would certainly share some of the glory with the accompanying Hollywood actresses.
Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman, two Nordic ocean horses, are also the objects of Indian fantasy, and they are pursued in all directions.
The moment when the three distributed donation materials and established their image was faithfully recorded by the photographers who followed them.
Being welcomed by the majority of Americans in the United States is just a matter of pleasure. If you really want to experience the feeling of worshiping, you have to come to India. With these Hollywood actresses here, the recent work of the Governor's Palace has become much simpler.
As long as we talk about these actresses in the first person, what is so great about India?
"I never dreamed that a star could do this." Sir Barron was amazed and could not understand the current craze.
In the UK, the status of local film actors is not any higher than that of stage actors. In terms of pure status, those who perform in stage plays are even higher.
"I was also surprised." Alan Wilson, who had rarely been to the Governor's Mansion recently, although he was not surprised at all, still stood by his immediate boss at the critical moment of reliability.
To be honest, handsome men and beautiful women are really influential. In terms of culture, South Korea is not even ranked third-rate in the world.
But with the help of Korean wave groups, South Korea's popularity has been greatly increased.
Especially in third world countries where gods are killing gods and Buddhas, it seems that only India has been spared.
Alan Wilson has thought about this problem before. It may be that Indian songs and dances are included in every movie, and Indians have already developed immunity.
The poorer the country, the less resistant it is to the Korean Wave. In Europe and the United States, the Korean Wave can only be regarded as second-tier, but in third world countries, it is simply superb.
Now Ellen Wilson has completed the unfinished business of the Korean Wave, tearing apart the seemingly strong immunity of British India with top female stars from the United Kingdom and the United States.
Not only can Indians not blame him, they should even thank him. He is a national treasure of the British Empire and a star of the United States of America. Two powerful countries serve Indians. Isn’t this a small blessing?
"But then again, Alan, your job is the envy of many young men." Sir Barron said, "Don't you often take American female celebrities to play? Many young men must be jealous of you."
When Alan Wilson heard this, he immediately replied, "I feel like I have found several mothers, and just cooking every day takes up a lot of time, and there is a cultural gap between me and Americans."
Alan Wilson first made it clear that the age gap between himself and these female stars was at least ten years, clearing away any suspicion, and then started to change the topic.
Sir Barron was really curious and said in disbelief, "No way, Americans were also British immigrants in the past, so there is already a cultural gap with us? Is it because of the Americans' funny accent?"
"This is also a reason, but I can overcome it, but some female celebrities think that I am a handyman." Alan Wilson said with a sullen face, "Tell me that if you want to achieve financial freedom, you still have to find a way to start a business.
We cannot waste time in the civil service."
"These stupid Americans." Sir Barron's expression changed and he said sarcastically, "Americans may not be able to see anything except money."
As the head of the civil service in British India, Lord Barron was furious when he heard the disrespectful remarks about the civil servants.
"The eyes can't see anything, maybe they are blinded by poverty." Alan Wilson put forward another hypothesis seemingly seriously, expressing the same hatred as his immediate boss.
It is better to say something nice to Americans than to have his immediate boss care about his reception work. If nothing is really wrong, Alan Wilson will be upright and not afraid of the shadow, but the key is that he really has a guilty conscience.
Although on the surface, all activities were under the attention of the security personnel of the Governor's Palace, the people involved were well aware of what happened after dark.
He is currently relatively relaxed as a tool. Vivien Leigh and her team have returned. After returning to New Delhi, they will rest for two days and will soon start their trip to the West Coast. The trip to the West Coast is actually more important.
Because Bombay is on the west coast, in addition to being the largest port in British India, Bombay was also the center of filmmakers in British India.
Bollywood in India is a film base centered in Mumbai. Vivien Leigh is also the honorary president of the British-Indian Screen Actors Guild. The trip to the West Coast will have a more official tone.
Bollywood represents part of the Indian film industry and is one of the largest film production bases in the world, with hundreds of millions of viewers.
Indian films have a strong family flavor. Several film families in British India today can be said to be influential in the 21st century, so it is definitely not a loss to establish connections with these film actors in Mumbai. Maybe in fifty years
Can be used.
Compared to him, a tool man, the broader staff in London and Pittsburgh are also much more motivated.
A series of evaluations were conducted around the Mysore iron ore. Market factors, transportation factors and even political factors were all taken into consideration. An acceptable price was calculated and then given to the tool maker thousands of miles away to see if it could be obtained.
If you can't reach a satisfactory figure, you can still accept it reluctantly by taking a step back to satisfy both parties.
Edward Bridges's bottom line in the telegram was also 30 million, but the unit was pounds sterling. The excess would be credited to Alan Wilson. The telegram said this, "Norman and I both believe that Alan Wilson
Lun is a very reliable imperial civil servant..."
Reliable! Seeing this word, Alan Wilson straightened his back instinctively, and the spirit of ownership rose in his chest.
"Thirty million pounds, eighty-four million U.S. dollars." After converting the exchange rate in his mind, Alan Wilson felt that there was still a lot of room. Although he didn't know how London evaluated it, he instinctively felt that this price
It has nothing to do with the lion's mouth.
As for Pittsburgh's assessment, the most important part is to prevent the British Empire from digging holes and manipulating debts. After all, Britain and the United States are of the same origin, and Nizi has learned a lot about his own father's behavior.
American children often feel the love of their fathers when they are young. If it were not for the Germans, a complete childhood would be certain.
The hardware is all there, but the cost is not just as simple as the surface. Negotiating a big deal involving hundreds of millions of dollars is not as easy as imagined.
On the basis of the balance sheet of the target enterprise, the value of the appraisal object is determined by reasonably evaluating the value of the enterprise's various assets and liabilities.
The theoretical basis is that the price paid by any rational person for an asset will not be higher than the price of replacement or purchase of substitutes for the same purpose. The main method is replacement cost.
The replacement cost method regards the enterprise being evaluated as a combination of various production factors. Based on the inventory and verification of each asset and confirming whether there is goodwill or economic loss in the enterprise, the appraised value of each individually identifiable asset is added
After adding the goodwill of the enterprise or subtracting the economic losses, the estimated value of the enterprise can be obtained.
In this regard, U.S. Steel, which was born out of mergers and acquisitions, has rich experience and will not be confused by the words of some civil servants, especially if they are said by British people, which is even less credible.
Not all the people Derek brought were in New Delhi. The people in New Delhi were all losers. The professional ones also maintained contact with Mysore State and Pittsburgh, exchanging information to provide support for Derek.
Otherwise, what does Alan Wilson say? Derek is also a tool man. This kind of negotiation will not result in a high or low final result just because the boss personally appears. The entire process is professional.
In comparison, the United States is actually more professional. After all, the British are bureaucrats who just want to cash in the colonial property and give the mainland a big boost.
The evaluation results given to Derek by Pittsburgh did not talk about the bottom line, but showed that if the M&A capital did not exceed US$120 million, there would be a profit. In fact, this only counted the five-year theoretical income of the steel company.
On the other hand, the promotion effect on the stock market is something that the Morgan brothers are considering.
Five years! Alan Wilson didn’t know about the steel company’s assessment. He was calculating political accounts to assess how long India, especially Nehru, could endure after independence. Looking at the steel industry, this is equivalent to a country’s backbone.
Industries that cannot be hardened are controlled by foreigners.
He remembered that at the beginning of independence, that is, the next year in history, in 1947, Nehru had already determined that state-owned enterprises would be the leading enterprises. In 1950, he officially began to follow the Soviet Union and established the Planned Economic Commission and personally
Serve as Chairman.
In the same year, Nehru officially launched India's first Five-Year Plan.
If the five-year plan has started and the steel industry is still in the hands of the Americans, wouldn't it be a joke?
If history has not changed too much, it can be said that the Mysore iron ore will be safe in American hands for only three years, excluding this year.
By 1950, Nehru might find a way to take back the iron ore anytime and anywhere. This also needs to be considered. In 1949, the Soviet Union successfully detonated its nuclear bomb and was on the same starting line as the United States.
Inspiring Nehru.
Pittsburgh was calculating economic accounts, while Alan Wilson was calculating political accounts, especially when India's powerful men, who were deeply influenced by the Soviet Union, would eliminate the residual poison of imperialism in the country.
