Time was precious, and Alan Wilson moved very quickly. He wanted to leave and left Japan as soon as possible. The efficiency simply surprised Burgess. Among the civil servants of the British Empire, the Imperial Eagle Dog in front of him was definitely an anomaly.
Different from the casualness of ordinary civil servants, it is almost like coming from another country, and it must be Japan where Burgess is. Sometimes Burgess feels that Alan Wilson is suitable for this fast-paced country.
Alan Wilson's expression did not change when he heard Burgess's joke. The country he lived in in his previous life was no slower than Japan. It can even be said that after Japan came to a standstill, his motherland has become better than others.
In the eyes of many Chinese people, Japan, South Korea and even South Korea are all examples of busy people in summer. Long overtime work is just a legacy of habit, and no matter how hard you work, you cannot achieve a class jump. No matter what, many people in China still believe in working hard to change
fatalistic.
They are both hardworking, but not the same hardworking. The difference is difficult to explain to Burgess, a pure Englishman.
Britain is a society that has long been solidified. Not to mention the time when Alan Wilson appeared, even a hundred years earlier, Britain would have been like this. Burgess could not understand this mentality because he could not imagine it.

After waiting for Vivien Leigh for a day, the two had boarded the passenger ship back to Malaya.
"I have set up a branch in Tokyo to explore some talents in music and screen." Vivien Leigh mentioned the gains from this trip to Japan, describing a great blueprint.
"A very good idea!" Alan Wilson agreed after hearing this. "Japan's overall population quality is second to none in Asia. It is not a completely normal country now. If you want to make a layout, you should start as soon as possible."
"You said before that it was difficult for Japan to reach out!" Vivien Leigh was somewhat reproachful, mentioning the difficulties that Alan Wilson had mentioned before.
"Excluding the entertainment industry, the entertainment industry is a subtle industry. Most countries will not take precautions." Alan Wilson shook his head slightly and said, "The manufacturing industry is definitely not that easy. The rewards will be great after laying the foundation now."
In later generations, Japan has been the world's second largest audio-visual market for a long time, and the film market was later surpassed by China. However, music has maintained its second position in the world for many years. The market is mature and complete, and creativity is also strong.
Korean groups usually choose to enter the Japanese market when they debut, and Japan’s own music is also very strong. Before the Korean Wave broke out, Japanese music was also popular around the world.
Japanese music has been covered by various Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, and there are countless examples. Vivien Leigh wanted to do something in Japan, and Alan Wilson certainly understood that this was a good development direction.
"However, I suggest that you still hold shares to provide market support, and don't let people from United Artists come over to manage it. Leave the execution work to the Japanese."
Vivien Leigh was very surprised when she heard this and said incredulously, "Why, it is obvious that the talent reserve in the United States is more abundant."
"The U.S. has a richer talent pool! That's to deal with the U.S. market. The Japanese are better at managing Japanese people. U.S. management talents will only be acclimated to Japan if they stay in Japan." Alan Wilson said firmly, "Just listen to me.
wrong."
When it comes to South Korea, Vivien Leigh said that it is okay to directly manage it with Americans. After all, South Korea has insufficient cultural heritage. Even the garbage thrown by the United States can be turned into a pot of trouble for the army. Koreans have a serious strong-willed mentality and are easily influenced by strong culture.
Japan is different. Japan has the ability to absorb and transform foreign cultures, and it will also be the base of Asian original music for future generations.
This has to be said that China is a great country. Unlike the film market, the music market in China has always been deserted.
"I thought you had a low opinion of Japan, but I didn't expect that you still have a high opinion of Japan." Vivien Leigh was really surprised. If she remembered correctly, this was the first time she heard Alan Wilson talk about the advantages of Japan.
"I do have a disdain for Japan, but specific things need to be analyzed in detail." Ellen Wilson said that Vivien Leigh had heard correctly before, "Do you think I am a brainless arrogant? I am not an American."
Returning to Kuala Lumpur in late June, Alan Wilson sent a telegram to Pamela Mountbatten in London before attending to some matters recently left in Malaya.
After a year in office, he had assembled almost everything the current British Empire had to offer for British Malaya.
By the way, he also found an opportunity to trick Japan. Although it is hard to estimate whether it will have a big impact. But it can be said that he has tried his best. If Malaya still cannot take off smoothly, it will not be his problem.
Alyssa said one thing, saying that the United States hopes to release an American businessman who was arrested some time ago.
It's funny to talk about it in detail. British Malaya had a temporary regulation that prohibited the sale of condoms.
This was to promote the increase in the population of British Malaya. After all, there was not much bad land in British Malaya, and the population of about 10 million was not enough. The potential for population increase was still huge.
Following the example of Northern Rhodesia's ban on drug smuggling, Alan Wilson followed suit and came up with a regulation banning condom smuggling to promote population growth.
He forgot about this regulation after it was promulgated, but he didn't expect that someone would actually be arrested under this regulation.
"Let him go after paying the fine. He should be grateful for my magnanimity. If it were Northern Rhodesia smuggling drugs, the Slavs wouldn't let him go so easily." Alan Wilson said helplessly, "U.S.
He is such an interesting person, he is just crazy about money."
Alyssa nodded, and at the same time, a report with a breakdown of demographics came out. The content of this report was fertility statistics.
According to the general view of later generations, a fertility rate of 2.1 can basically maintain population balance. If it is lower than 2.1, a country's population will theoretically experience negative growth.
Of course, after negative growth, the car will no longer be able to stop. Because of the addition of science and technology, the life span of the population has been extended. Many people who have passed the childbearing age can live for decades. Before these people die, there will be no increase in numbers.
There will be big changes.
The fertility rate of the East Asian population is generally below two. Alan Wilson looks down on them. In his hometown of Northeast China, the fertility rate has been maintained at one or a few for a long time. The population loss in the Northeast is actually not as serious as imagined, but because
The fertility rate has been at a low level for decades, and many people are very close to dying at this age, so the population is declining rapidly.
If the statistics provided by Alisa are very reliable, then the current fertility rate of the Chinese community in British Malaya is eight. The fertility rate of the Malays is even higher.
It seems that there is no need to worry about the population problem in the short term. The fertility rate of eight is actually a very scary number. Even in African countries, a fertility rate of six is considered to be the highest in future generations. The number eight is unheard of in the 21st century.
of.
However, in today's world, this number is not too outrageous, and it will definitely decrease with economic development. When the population of New China exploded, the fertility rate was six. Just because China's population base is too large, the power of this six
, far beyond Africa today.
After some simple calculations, Alan Wilson estimated the approximate arrival time of British Malaya's population of 20 million and 30 million people, and felt that it was not a big problem. If everything goes well, British Malaya will be in Asia by then.
He should be able to have sex with Japan.
After spending a few days raiding the backlog of official business, Alan Wilson received a telegram from London. When the private secretary forwarded it, he thought it was a reply from Pamela Mountbatten, but it was not.
This telegram came from Whitehall, and it talked about a very important matter. Regarding the result of Lord Magins of Sheffield going to Hyderabad to meet Ali Khan, after bargaining, the former Maharaja of Hyderabad Ali Khan
, still could not tolerate the result of losing the crown, and was very willing to use his wealth to benefit British Malaya.
Lord Sheffield transferred the governance of the British Malayan state of Sabah to Ali Khan for a price of 74 million pounds, and also asked Ali Khan to spend 20 million pounds after becoming the monarch of Sabah.
Develop Sabah’s economy.
Ali Khan agreed to all these conditions one by one. Ali Khan would choose a suitable time to leave India and reach his new territory of Sabah!
"About 100 million pounds!" Alan Wilson took the telegram and calculated the total cost, which was 280 million US dollars.
This figure is an astronomical sum for ordinary people, and it is not a small amount of money for Ali Khan, but it is definitely within the range of tolerance. Alan Wilson's intuitive feeling is that Whitehall is really dark.
When asked by the cabinet secretary earlier, Alan Wilson's answer was that £50 million was the basis, but £100 million might be too much. In the end, Markins asked Ali Khan to pay the sky-high price of £100 million.
London had decided to adopt a direct administration model for British Malaya. It was impossible for Sabah to become a semi-independent state like Hyderabad. Alan Wilson called back to Whitehall and asked whether Ali Khan knew this difference.
The reply from Whitehall was that Ali Khan knew clearly that the Sultan of British Malaya could not exercise his right to rule.
Since Ali Khan had agreed, Alan Wilson naturally had nothing to say and was prepared to wait for the arrival of the Sabah monarch.
His top priority now is to return to London to take some time to deal with the marriage. Pamela Mountbatten has been with him for five years. If it continues to be delayed, even Alan Wilson himself will feel very shameful.
.
In fact, Pamela Mountbatten, who is far away in London, has been waiting eagerly for Alan Wilson to finish handling the prisoner of war issue and complete their wedding since her fiancé last talked about getting married.
She was not disappointed. Alan Wilson sent a telegram as soon as possible after returning to Kuala Lumpur. After finishing the backlog of official business, he returned to London to discuss the marriage.
"The most impressive thing about him is that he speaks with high credibility and can be trusted unconditionally." Pamela Mountbatten, holding the telegram, looked happy in front of Crown Prince Elizabeth and Princess Margaret.
said.
Crown Prince Elizabeth expressed congratulations with a smile, while Princess Margaret looked expressionless, even a little lost.
