At the critical moment, Alan Wilson also had to use the method of comparison to compare East Asia, where civil war had broken out, with British India, which at least on the surface was still stable and peaceful.
Although Chang Zhengzheng is currently at the stage when he is satisfied with his ambition and is at the end of a full-scale offensive and the beginning of a key offensive, war is war, and once it starts, it will inevitably become a wealth crusher.
This is in sharp contrast to the current situation in British India. The two places were originally far apart in any data, but now the gap is particularly obvious.
Now a certain big country is in a civil war, and Japan has been destroyed by the world war. Looking at the whole of Asia, of course, the pearl of the British Empire stands out among others, and the scenery here is unique.
Seeing Derek pretending to be confused, Alan Wilson had to use his political nature to remind Derek of the current reality.
There is no need for Americans to know the more cruel reality. For example, poor Truman was manipulated by Mr. Chang.
Our side has a great advantage. With Alan Wilson's meager historical knowledge, we really can't find a few operations that actively kill people. Ming Yingzong should be considered one, and Gaolianghe Che Shen should also be considered one.
But the other two can be said to have lost one battle, can you, Mr. Chang? There were over a thousand battles, but the Artillery Party seemed to have only won more than twenty, with a winning rate of 2%. This cannot be washed away.
The negotiation on this day was in vain because of the issue of whether the fifty million should be in pounds or dollars.
After declining Derek's kindness, Alan Wilson left. He had to go back to cook. It was a pity that he, a young man in his early twenties, was being manipulated by a group of middle-aged women in their thirties and forties.
Time passes day by day, and the trend is still developing for the better, although the speed of progress is not fast. But this is the way it is. Alan Wilson can't be so kingly and Derek agrees to the offer of 50 million pounds without counter-offering.
Well, that's not realistic either.
Even if it is a business negotiation, there are many examples that last a year and a half, not to mention that both of them believe that they have great advantages. As long as the trend is good, it will never bring bad results.
Derek also said that he was very busy and had the idea of returning to China. This turned a deaf ear to Alan Wilson. He already knew from Bette Davis that Derek valued this merger very much. As a company established in the United States Steel Company
The basis of authority, so he is very calm.
He was just very calm and needed intelligence support. He had to have a discussion with Bette Davis, and the location of the discussion included but was not limited to the bedroom.
This is also a necessary sacrifice for the British Empire. No matter how hard it is, Alan Wilson must endure it for the progress of his career.
"Derek is not as indifferent as he appears on the surface. From what I know about him, this is blackmail." Bette Davis's big eyes were dazzling, and Sister Warner's demeanor was indeed well-deserved.
Alan Wilson now has an immature idea. He wants to shoot the 007 series. Vivien Leigh and her best friends can be the heroines. Taking into account the age factor, they should be ranked in order from oldest to youngest, otherwise they may be ranked
Finally, older actresses may not be suitable to be heroines.
If a Bond girl could be born in my own hands, it would be a very fulfilling thing. I just hope there is enough time, as the original novel seems to have not appeared yet.
Although he had retraced the 007 movies from back to front when he was extremely bored, he didn't have a deep impression of the early movies and only had a general outline.
Although his thoughts went astray, Alan Wilson did not forget to answer Bette Davis's words, "Ultimate pressure?"
"That's almost an accurate summary." Bette Davis thought for a moment and nodded, "He doesn't reject this method."
"Understood." Alan Wilson nodded. It was a routine. If so, he would be more confident.
People who do this are generally eager to achieve their goals. They have no other thoughts and everything is to achieve their goals first.
Alan Wilson's guess is actually correct. This is what Derek is doing now. As early as the first meeting between the two parties, Alan Wilson mentioned the acquisition case in 1901 and pointed out that Derek's $30 million
The price quoted is totally dishonest.
Derek also knew very clearly that if the purchase price was lower than the US$75 million in 1901, it would be impossible unless the entire British Indian population was stupid.
But after the evaluation results came out in Pittsburgh, he still made an offer of 50 million US dollars, just with the idea of exerting maximum pressure and testing the British bottom line.
The result of the test was that Alan Wilson offered £50 million, a figure that he absolutely could not accept.
Fifty million pounds is 1.4 billion U.S. dollars, which has exceeded the estimated price given by the board of directors of U.S. Steel. This is absolutely unacceptable. Even if it is agreed, even if the negotiation is finally concluded, this will not be a deal for Derek.
As long as the credit is not taken out by other directors, it will be good.
If Alan Wilson didn't have the guidance of the old fox in London and the foreign aid of Bette Davis, he would definitely be anxious. After all, it was his first billion-dollar deal in his life. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.
The idea that British India is stable is self-hypnosis. Even if the situation in British India is not as good as that of East Asia, it is just that the storm is about to come, and stability will be gone forever.
The support that home field advantage can give to Allen Wilson is that the data speaks for itself. You don't need to worry about what kind of businessman Derek is, and you don't need to be affected by other factors. Just list the data.
Starting from 50 million pounds and 50 million US dollars, the offers from both parties are getting closer step by step.
During this time, Vivien Leigh had already started a West Coast tour with Hedy Lamarr, Joan Crawford, and Bette Davis, which made Alan Wilson, who was already quite familiar with it, quite disappointed. Now there are only two people left in the community.
Swedish actress.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Greta Garbo has entered Hollywood in the 1920s. After 20 years of acting career, she has announced her retirement. This time she can come to the British Empire
India is full of amazing things.
Greta Garbo is recognized as the queen of silent films. She can express a thousand words with her eyes without even changing her facial expressions. Therefore, Garbo's acting skills and beauty are a sensation in the world. The boss of MGM commented on her: "A face that only comes once in a thousand years."
"
Roland Barthes praised: "Her face has the rules of elegance and love, and the flesh and blood on her face gives people a destructive feeling."
Alan Wilson found that of the remaining two actresses, Greta Garbo was very difficult to approach, while Ingrid Bergman was much more approachable.
"Greta likes to be quiet, and she is ready not to get married for the rest of her life." Ingrid Bergman commented on her Swedish predecessor in front of Alan Wilson, "When we came to British India this time, most of us came here to gain fame.
, but she is different, she really comes here to do charity."
"She will never get married, and she likes women?" Alan Wilson asked directly. He had never come into contact with such people, such as the British Burma Commissioner and the British Ceylon Commissioner.
"I don't dare to ask her about this matter. If you have the ability, ask her yourself." Ingrid Bergman said with an encouraging tone. If you want to see this person, she has very strong communication skills and is on the same page with almost every actress.
What does it feel like to be a civil servant who becomes a friend and hit an iceberg?
"I thought she had a prejudice against me." Alan Wilson thought that he was exposed again, but it turned out to be Greta Garbo herself. Now he still doesn't know that in Greta Garbo's eyes, it has actually been
Exposed.
"She's like this, very cold and not very communicative." Ingrid Bergman shrugged. "Even Xiying is a mystery that many people don't understand, but this time she worked very hard when distributing donations.
.”
When she first arrived in the United States, because Garbo was tall and had long hands and feet, Hollywood transformed her from a shy and reserved female athlete into an active, cheerful, lively and lovely female athlete who loved sports.
The result was obviously not very optimistic. Later, because of her own character, which was cold, withdrawn, and sentimental, she showed her truest personal characteristics in front of the camera and became an instant hit.
Strictly speaking, Ingrid Bergman is the descendant of Greta Garbo. Both of them are Swedish. Ingrid Bergman who came to the United States is taller and has a lot of troubles in how to gain a foothold in Hollywood.
, ask this senior for advice. So he is very clear about Greta Garbo.
"Oh!" Ellen Wilson forced a smile, cooking and waiting for the guests to come. Greta Garbo only came over when eating, and usually only brought it with her in her apartment.
At the end of the dinner that day, in order to see Ellen Wilson who couldn't get acquainted with her, she still didn't hear a few words from Greta Garbo. The latter walked away a few minutes later and said, "You and the actress have a lot in common."
Well."
"Ms. Vivien Leigh is a national treasure of the United Kingdom. How dare I not take good care of her." Alan Wilson replied with a smile.
"It's not Vivian." Greta Garbo tilted her head and glanced at Alan Wilson with an indifferent look, "There are at least two more, so your methods are very surprising."
Because of this sentence, when negotiating with Derek, Alan Wilson was still suspicious, but it confused Derek. He stretched out his index finger and waved it in front of the other party a few times, and repeated, "Mr. Allen, I said
One hundred million, one hundred million US dollars, did you hear that?"
"I heard it, I heard it." Alan Wilson suddenly came back to his senses, saying that he heard Derek's small goal, and then began to answer, "Dear Mr. Drake, I have to say that our bottom line is very close.
