The appearance of a group of big compradors made the former high commissioner quite happy. After not seeing each other for a long time, there seemed to be a few new female dependents. They were all in good order. The successful people were indeed very beautiful and blessed, and they were all bitches. As soon as they opened their mouths,
It's old Versailles.
"The bosses are a little too modest. I know something about your traditional clothing. Women who dare to wear it must have strong self-confidence." Ellen Wilson chuckled, and then greeted several concubines.
If you want to wear traditional clothes well, it is not something that ordinary women can control. Hanfu can easily defeat 90% of women. Cheongsam has higher body requirements than Hanfu. If you don't have a good figure, dare you show it off?
"When I heard that Master Zhongtang was leaving, I really wanted to see the true face of Mount Lu." Gu Ke said enthusiastically, "We all cannot do without Master Zhongtang's support."
"It is a fact that the compliments from the ladies are really touching." Alan Wilson said this with a slight pause, and then hinted that women have their place, and it is better not to let women here when talking about business.
Everyone understood and asked the concubines to bring Louis Vuitton and pretend to be L'Oreal to talk to Ms. Xia Meng, the spokesperson of the two brands. They were so familiar with each other that there was no need to avoid too many taboos.
In terms of their relationship with each other, even if the compradors like to kill people for nothing, this is not something that cannot be discussed.
Alan Wilson asked if there were any difficulties in moving the textile industry to Myanmar. Coca said that it was generally smooth. Although the investment was not small, the cost would be recovered in two years and it would enter the profit stage.
"We in the UK still have some heritage." Alan Wilson changed the subject and said calmly, "The Chinese group in Southeast Asia has a special status. At present, in terms of ideology and national strength, the mainland government is not as busy as you. Even if
I want to help, but it will only be counterproductive. The UK can support you in expanding your industry. If what I say is right, everyone will have a drink with me."
Upon hearing this, Su Yang immediately called the waiter over, filled the glasses for all the compradors, and said first, "Then let's give a toast to Master Zhongtang. When our efforts are needed, we will never be vague."
"Thanks to the Justices of the Peace for their blessings. Although I am thousands of miles away, I have always been thinking about the stability and prosperity here." Alan Wilson raised his glass and wished with the same smile on his face, "Good times are yet to come.
"
They are all supported by Chinese businessmen. Alan Wilson does not have to hide anything. After analyzing the international situation, Myanmar has not completely declined because of the British. At least it is strong in front of Myanmar, so it is worth investing. Like other Southeast Asian countries, it is necessary to
It's up to them to work hard on their own.
"Master Zhongtang, what do you think of Thailand? I received guests from the Xie family in Thailand some time ago to see if there are any opportunities for cooperation." Tian Qianqiu took the initiative to ask. After all, they are not political figures and do not know much about the international situation.
"What's the name of his company?" Alan Wilson was moved when he heard this surname and asked a confusing question. Tian Qianqiu immediately told him, "Zhengda Company..."
"He is a good partner." Alan Wilson heard that it was indeed the case and said directly, "The blood between you is thicker than water, and you are limited by invisible borders. Your help can be limited to cooperation with Chinese businessmen in other Southeast Asian countries.
Help each other and even get married. The British Empire was happy to see this happen, but it didn't necessarily have to hold shares. As for the reason, it was because of the invisible border."
Alan Wilson said something like a tongue twister, letting them slowly understand, "The Chinese have economic status, but they are a minority no matter which country they are in. What if one day Britain leaves Southeast Asia?"
"We are infinitely loyal to the Queen's leadership..." Su Yang expressed his position quickly, but he still had reservations about his words.
They are loyal to the Queen, but the so-called British cabinet has nothing to do with them. Alan Wilson can hear the implication, but what does it matter? People really have no obligation to be loyal to the British government.
"God save the Queen!" Alan Wilson raised his glass and saluted in the direction of London with great humility.
"God Save the Queen." The collision of wine glasses contributed to the diversification process of the Malayan colonies and even Southeast Asia as a whole.
The so-called balancing of public and private matters is an area in which Alan Wilson thinks he has always done a good job. In addition to giving a boost to the British African elite, he also came here to raise funds, not to mention extortion, at least for the comprador industries present.
With the shares he originally provided in exchange for startup capital, which were generally in the range of 15% to 20%, could anyone else find such a conscientious senior commissioner like him?
It was originally my own industry, and now it’s not too much to take a little bit for silver operations.
This was only part of it. Considering his long-standing close friendship with Maharaja Ali Khan of Sabah, he could not let such a good thing leave his friend behind.
After finalizing these things, the moment he boarded the Comet passenger plane, he could say that he had returned home with a full load.
This time he plundered almost all the ladies with the same status as his wife, all the compradors supported by him, and Maharaja Ali Khan. Together with the help of the Newfoundland Foundation, he raised enough money to purchase 28.5 million ounces.
With gold funds, I am ready to make a big investment in silver.
It was the French tycoon General de Gaulle who found trouble with gold. A small role like him could only start with silver. The Comet jet soared 10,000 meters into the sky and arrived at Karachi, now the capital of Pakistan.
Records of previous meetings between Portuguese Goa and Pakistan were obtained from the Pakistani High Commissioner.
Portugal and Pakistan have always had a very good relationship since their independence, and Alan Wilson does not deny that this has something to do with him. The small meaning is that it is about details, rather than an overview of the overall situation.
The relationship between Britain and Pakistan is also good, and this is also true in terms of economic and trade relations. The Middle East is extremely important in the eyes of the United Kingdom, and the construction of the airport and the construction of the British Middle East colonies and protectorates require huge manpower.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because the Malayan colony is positioned as an industrial production base, the labor force has long been exhausted. Even the textile industry, which can create jobs, has been transferred to Myanmar. Naturally,
There is no spare labor force to come to work in the Middle East.
The country that Britain can maintain the greatest influence in the Middle East is Iraq. No matter how big it is, it exceeds the national power of Britain. The countries in the Middle East that can be controlled by Britain are all small in size and population. They do not have much labor force, so
We can only ask Pakistan to help.
In later generations of the Middle East, the main migrant labor force also came from South Asia, to be precise, India. Even though Lao Xian fought hard against the Peace Sect, all Indians in the Middle East served the Peace Sect master.
Since India's independence, Alan Wilson has been determined to weaken the legacy of the British Indian period, that is, the legacy of Indians in the British colonies. Naturally, it is impossible for Indians to lay eggs by using the brand of the British Empire.
For balancing reasons, Indian workers must use diplomatic means to prevent entry into the Middle East and replace them with Pakistani workers.
After passing Karachi, Comet 1 finally landed in Basra, the important town in southern Iraq. Hedy Lamarr, who was shrouded in a black Arab robe, and Alan Wilson, who came to solve the minister's problems, stepped off the plane together.
As soon as he got off the plane, his old friend John, the Persian Gulf Commissioner, was waiting with a serious face, which made Alan Wilson feel that something was wrong. If it was in a third world country, even in the Soviet Union, what he might be thinking about now was,
Isn't this a coup?
It seems that the Iraqi revolution did occur this year in history. Alan Wilson couldn't help but feel a little heavy, "My friend, what happened?"
"The communication between the minister and Iran is not smooth. Prime Minister Mossadegh's attitude this time is very tough. Let the UK terminate the unequal treaty and return oil control to Iran." John shook his head slightly and said, "The minister is in a terrible mood.
.”
Alan Wilson's face softened slightly. It would have been better if it wasn't the Iraqi Revolution. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Have you communicated with the United States? What did the Americans say?"
"The attitude of the Americans is ambiguous, which is shocking." John and Alan Wilson walked side by side. "The Americans say this is a matter between the UK and Iran, but they do not recommend that the UK make a big deal out of it."
"What the hell, they are the only ones who are qualified to cause trouble. I don't believe that Pahlavi can cooperate with the Soviets. Which monarch dares? Why didn't White receive any news?" Alan Wilson looked confused.
Angry, the White he spoke of was Richard White, the director of MI6.
John shook his head and reminded his good friend, "The minister is in a very unhappy mood right now. You should be careful."
"I understand." The two got in the car together and went straight to the hotel where Foreign Secretary Harold Wilson was staying.
Harold Wilson was indeed in a very unhappy mood. He had obviously had a good conversation before, but the sudden change of heart from the Iranian side really caught him off guard, and he refused to communicate very forcefully.
At this moment, in the Royal Palace of Tehran, the U.S. Ambassador to Iran had just come out of King Pahlavi’s palace. The special relationship between Britain and the United States that existed on the surface, but the hardcore anti-Americans secretly suspected that it was exactly...
During the Iranian oil crisis a few years ago, the United States sat back and watched the British embarrassment with the mood of watching the excitement. Because the incident had been turbulent for a year, the United States judged that the British would not resolve it peacefully, so it adopted a wait-and-see attitude.
Unexpectedly, Britain and Mossadegh actually adjusted the allocation of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company in the end.
This disappointed the United States, which was waiting to see what would happen. It did not find an opportunity to show its favor to Iran and step on Britain. Now that the short-term solution has expired, the United States can no longer let the opportunity pass this time. It is no longer an option to just wait and see what happens. It must take the initiative.
