British civil servant

Gandhi may not have done anything to the assets acquired by the United States, but Nehru is much more powerful than Chang Gong.

Now when Alan Wilson and Derek meet, the time spent discussing hard work is even more than the purchase price.

Of course, loyal and honest civil servants of the Empire cannot hide this kind of thing. Sir Edward must know, and only a widely respected and loved person like Sir Edward can distribute the money reasonably.

This made Edward Bridges very relieved that the empire needed such capable civil servants.One percent of the benefit fee is 100 million. If the acquisition amount is fixed, then it will be based on the principle of fairness and justice.

Of course, it is most suitable for the two groups of civil servants in the native land and British India, and no one can find fault with this.It's just that there are fewer people in the local area, but in fact, the number of people in British India is not too many to count, which is very fair.

With the tone that I am very optimistic about you, and encouraged Alan Wilson, Edward Bridges quietly waited for good news on the golf course in Scotland.

Except for the [-]% that belongs to everyone and the [-]% that belongs to others, Alan Wilson did not change his mind and asked Vivien Leigh to take it on his behalf.

In the last few days of negotiations, the two sides reached a stalemate on the price of 600 million.No matter how high or low it is, he is unwilling to make concessions. Drake said that there are still [-]% of various expenses.Expenditures cannot be increased anymore.

"I will report this to London." Alan Wilson didn't know if it felt right, anyway, there should be almost no drop.

600 million US dollars, plus 53 million agency fees, 760 US dollars of personal income.Derek made up for Alan Wilson, and the U.S. Steel Company will spend a total of $[-] million on the Mysore iron mine.

The British Empire handed over the Mysore iron mine and all supporting facilities to the U.S. Steel Corporation.

"The railway is not good. The local railway is owned by the state. This is the benefit given to the local maharaja. Mr. Derek, the local stability must be protected by the maharaja of Mysore." Alan Wilson said that the ownership of the railway is not in the hands of the British Empire.

"Okay!" Derek pondered for a while, after all, he saved the U.S. Steel Company more than 1000 and [-] million U.S. dollars in funds, which can be regarded as satisfaction.

Alan Wilson is also satisfied, this is more than 2000 million US dollars higher than the domestic requirements, London should be satisfied.

Both of them think that they are the big winners, and let their opponents be as cunning as ghosts, and they are also used to washing their feet.I can't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in my heart, and the United States and Britain are no different.

Chapter 297 You Can Still Win

As far as the current period just after World War II is concerned, the relationship between the British Empire and the United States of America is still relatively chaotic.

The British Empire is not yet mentally prepared to be an American follower, and at the same time, the United States is indeed stronger than the British Empire.

There is a line in a movie that can describe this situation, I call you brother, you call me dad, we both have our own opinions.

For Alan Wilson, this huge deal of hundreds of millions of dollars can be used as an advancement step that is valued by his immediate boss in London. As for the benefits, it is a trivial matter, and he does not plan to charge much money from Derek.

But Alan Wilson can not accept it, and Derek must also give it. He doesn't need it now, but it doesn't mean that others don't need it.The [-]% of the US Steel Company's hard work is to give Vivien Leigh a career.

As for other ladies of the same status as his wife, other arrangements were made, and three telegrams were sent to London and then to Bonn.

Two of the three telegrams were identical, and the third was the final offer to the cabinet.The sale price of Mysore iron ore is 600 million US dollars.Converted into pounds, it is close to 800 million.

However, the acquisition of U.S. Steel must be calculated in U.S. dollars. The United States after the war is no longer the U.S. before the war. Of course, there are sterling reserves, but as a private company, U.S. Steel will definitely not be able to spend so many pounds.

But just as well, the British Empire also needed dollars to stabilize the value of the pound.

In the telegrams to Pamela and the Dragoon sisters, Alan Wilson played the part of a whistleblower, telling the whole story of the U.S. Steel acquisition to the attention of women entrepreneurs in London and Bonn.

The U.S. stock market is already in a bull market, as long as there is no problem in the past few years, otherwise Chang Gong would not invest American money in the U.S. stock market.

The hero sees the same thing, Alan Wilson is now using Derek's money to do Derek's affairs.

It seems that this is a fair deal, but Alan Wilson feels that it is possible to achieve a win-win situation.Once such a large acquisition is announced, it will definitely be good news for U.S. Steel Corporation. Normally speaking, U.S. Steel Corporation’s stock will also be bullish.

At present, the news of the merger is only known to the top executives in London and the major shareholders of U.S. Steel Corporation. It can also be regarded as a secret. Alan Wilson, who has always pursued a balance between public and private, shares this secret with his family. It is normal...

When the cabinet secretary's office was celebrating, Pamela Mountbatten also received a greeting telegram from her sweetheart. In addition to the usual tenderness, Alan Wilson also mentioned that he had worked hard day and night recently and paid too much for the British Empire. To the United States Steel Corporation's acquisition of iron ore above.

Pamela Mountbatten stared at the numbers on the telegram, thinking that she had read it wrong. Her mother, Edwina Ashley, was born in a wealthy family. For ordinary people, the property of the Mountbatten family is considered It was an astronomical figure, but hundreds of millions of dollars was also an astronomical figure for Edwina Ashley.

"Mother, Allen asked me to give you this telegram." Pamela Mountbatten came to find Edwina Ashley with a blushing face. Unfortunately, General Mountbatten was at home today.

"Let me see." Edwina Ashley took the telegram, then glanced at her daughter, and knew why the little daughter was blushing. Besides the business, the love words to Pamela Mountbatten and the following business, All in the same telegram.

"Let me take a look." General Mountbatten leaned over and was pushed aside by Edwina Ashley, "What are you looking for? You are a soldier, so there is no need to read the content of this kind of telegram."

Why don't I need to know!Mountbatten was pushed aside by his wife, his nose was not his face, and he said unconvinced, "I am the Governor of British India, and everything in British India is related to me."

"You haven't taken office yet." Edwina Ashley, who was busy with her busy schedule, rolled her husband's eyes and reminded her of the current reality.

Edwina Ashley kept nodding while watching. To make money, you have to stand up to make money. The best way is to have something to do with politics. There are people in the court who are easy to handle, and it is the same in the British Empire.

Edwina Ashley, who has been paying attention to the U.S. stock market for the past six months and has gained a lot, can certainly understand the significance of this billion-dollar news to the steel industry.

Don't say it's guaranteed, even if you are seeking wealth and insurance, it's worth fighting for once.Edwina Ashley is extremely satisfied with Ellen Wilson, the son-in-law. She is loyal to her daughter and knows how to take care of the family. What else is she dissatisfied with.

This point of the Gu family is definitely not an illusion, and Isabella Bokina also deeply agrees, but because of the emphasis on education, the stock market is a bit more complicated for her, although she has been making up lessons recently.

On the other side of the living room, Anna was breastfeeding a baby with her arms around her. She didn't care about Pokina's mainstay thinking, and she didn't pay attention to the baby in her arms. It would be bad if the baby choked.

"Anna, what do you think?" Isabella Bokina tossed her short hair and looked at Anna who was deaf to the window. This scene made her very uncomfortable.

"I think what my sister said is fine. You are already higher than me." Anna smiled with a halo of maternal love, looked at Pokina and said, "Are you worried about something?"

"The stock market is risky, and I'm not good at it." Isabella Bokina frowned slightly and talked about her distress.

"Then don't report this risky matter to the country." Anna lowered her head and looked at each other before continuing, "We bear all the risks by ourselves. No matter what the result is, it has nothing to do with the country. In this way You don’t have to worry about domestic accountability once losses are caused.”

It seems to make sense, but Isabella Bokina frowned tightly, "What if it can benefit the country."

"Sister, you said that the stock market is risky. If it's not a gain or a loss, how can we take responsibility." Anna has been holding the baby in her arms, and she can forget about it. What about the child?

"Anna, you have to remember that we have a mission." Seeing this scene, Isabella Bokina couldn't help reminding her.

"Yes, I still remember when I was in school, the instructor said to pay attention to concealment. If you want to spend huge sums of money in the country to go to places where Americans are good at, I don't think it will be successful." Anna was unmoved Said, "You don't think that after a few months of research, you can compete with the stock market in the United States that has been operating for decades."

"That would not be the case." Isabella Pokina sighed and gave up the idea.The stock market is an area that Soviets are not good at, and the risks that Anna said exist.

Then take out the two people's current accumulation under the name of the Hellman family and try it out.It would be good to help the motherland to make up for it in other ways.

The two funds departed from London and Bonn respectively and were invested in the US stock market.The amount seemed huge to ordinary people, but to the Morgan family, which was already in action, it was a small number that was not worth noting at all.

Compared with these short-sighted behaviors for self-interest, Cabinet Secretary Edward Bridges is very open-minded.Money is important, but what an official pays the most attention to is never money, and it can also be other things.

What's more, the trusted young progressive official has set aside everyone's share for Edward Bridges.Waiting for Edward Bridges to cut the cake himself to share.

Compared with the huge sum of US$[-] million, Edward Bridges is really confused whether money is more important or the power to cut the cake is more important, even though he has been working for decades, for this The problem is still not fully understood.

But this kind of happiness trouble did not make Edward Bridges lose his mind. After going to the prime minister's residence to give a final report to Prime Minister Attlee, Prime Minister Attlee made a final decision, saying that he could sell the ownership of the Mysore iron mine.

This is also a prelude. Since the ownership of the Mysore iron mine can be sold, other industries can also be sold. Once the representative of the US Steel Company returns to China, it may lead to follow suit.

Derek has not left British India yet, because the reply letter from the Pittsburgh headquarters has not yet arrived. Alan Wilson cannot neglect this distinguished guest, so he made a decision to take Derek to watch Gandhi's speech. Congress Party unity.

"There are so many Indians." After Derek and Alan Wilson arrived, they had an intuitive understanding of the population size of the subcontinent, although he had always known this.But it wasn't until he saw Gandhi's popularity that he realized that his previous understanding was a bit conservative. "Gandhi is so popular?"

"It must be said that it is absolutely true. In fact, he is also very famous in Europe." Alan Wilson introduced to Derek, "Gandhi has been to Europe several times, and he has also attracted many supporters. "

Gandhi has been to Europe many times. No one would be interested in Gandhi who was walking on the street in the traditional British pre-war gentleman's costume and silk top hat. He didn't have any unique attractions. .

Later, Gandhi was full of legends, full of legends, and his anecdotes were spread everywhere, and the situation was completely opposite to that of the past.People are talking about him, the newspapers are also paying attention to him, including his speech, including his behavior.

After that, Gandhi visited France, Italy, and Switzerland. Everywhere, thousands of local people enthusiastically watched and welcomed him, eager to witness this mythical figure with their own eyes.

In Paris especially, the crowds blocked the roads, and Gandhi had to stand on a luggage cart to address the crowds that welcomed him.

Alan Wilson didn't comment on the fundamentals of the old revolutionary base, but he said thoughtfully, "Mr. Derek, why don't you invite Gandhi to the United States. Now in the subcontinent, the United States also has interests."

Chapter 298 The Clown Is Actually Myself

"I'm not an official." Derek avoided Alan Wilson's question. It's good to see the excitement, but it's unnecessary to get involved. This is his true thought.

"Oh!" This made Alan Wilson a little disappointed. If Gandhi left British India at this time, the Governor's Office could use Patel's hand to tease Nehru.

It's not that there is any prejudice against Nehru, and he will definitely miss the chance to lead India. It's just that it shouldn't be a problem to suppress it for a short time. This doesn't mean that it would be better for Patel to come to power.

In fact, Nehru's political constituents, Mr. Churchill's Conservative Party, considered them to be Bolsheviks.

The Labor Party thinks it is a Socialist Party, and Alan Wilson's view is in between the two. It is not as radical as the Bolsheviks, nor is it like the Socialist Party.

It should probably be similar to the most idealized state of the Cannon Party, which is Mexico's Institutional Revolutionary Party.

The Institutional Revolutionary Party is the standard for how drastic a leftist party can be. Otherwise, how could Trotsky have thought of going to Mexico.

The Institutional Revolutionary Party of Mexico advocates cooperation with the bourgeoisie to develop the national economy and realize the industrialization of the country, hoping to use this to improve labor welfare by getting rich first and then getting rich later.

Since then, the alliance of the bourgeoisie and the working aristocracy has been the cornerstone of the PRI regime.In fact, this is also the basic mode of operation of Latin American nationalist regimes such as the Vargas regime in Brazil and the Peron regime in Argentina.

Winning over the bourgeoisie does not mean that the PRI has compromised, because Latin America has the same problems as the suzerain countries Spain and Portugal, and the Catholic Church is the most reactionary symbol.

After cleaning up the Catholic Church, the Institutional Revolutionary Party carried out land reform in Mexico in the second step.

This is also what Nehru will do in the future. The last step is to promote the nationalization of foreign capital.Fighting repeatedly with the opposition factions, Mexico finally nationalized the entire oil industry in [-].

It is not difficult to see from this that the PRI government not only wants to fight against imperialism and stand on its own, but also tries to maintain its relationship with the United States.

At that time, Mexico, in addition to the Soviet Union, greatly assisted the Republican government in the Spanish Civil War.

Among the countries that now oppose Franco's regime entering the United Nations, Mexico is also the most vocal.It can be said that this is as far as a Nehru-like figure can go.

Being able to withstand the pressure of the United States for decades in a place so close to the United States has developed the country well.

This is already the limit of Mexico. Even if Nehru went from one victory to another while he was alive, he could only go to this extent.

As for Patel, as the spiritual mentor of Modi, although he advocates a more imperialist taste, the first one is not long-lived, and the second one is that what politicians say and what they do are different.

Since India, where Nehru came to power, did not pose a threat in the end, if Patel comes to power, something uncontrollable will happen.This will make it very difficult for many countries.You must know that after the Argentine military government came to power, it went to war with the British Empire.

Therefore, for the British Empire, we must be wary of socialists, but we must also guard against imperialists.

Alan Wilson still did not give up, saying that if Gandhi arrived in the United States, it might cause a sensation.

Derek was noncommittal about this, and did not give any answer. He said a thousand words, he is a businessman, not an official.

In the end, Alan Wilson gave up his efforts, and he might as well think about how to arrange the lives of Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman, such as playing tennis or something.Of course New Delhi has tennis courts, also built by the British.

Alan Wilson is not interested in tennis, but it depends on who plays. In his previous life, when Kournikova and Sharapova played, he was also a fan of this sport. Williams and Williams could only get the treatment of switching channels .

Tennis was a magical ritual, obligatory to all citizens of the British Empire, and he did not like to see himself idle, playing tennis as long as it gave the eyes something to do.

In India, it is a crime not to sweat profusely at least once a day, and it creates more guilt than a thousand murders.

Both Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman are more than 1.7 meters tall, and their motor nerves are considered strong among women, and they are Nordic. Although they don't fight often, it can be seen that the two have not done it before. this movement.

It can be clearly seen that Ingrid Bergman is superior in terms of reaction and strength, which can also be blamed. She has just passed the age of 30 and has an advantage over Greta Garbo, who is ten years older.

"This doesn't respect seniors at all." While thinking this way, a painful groan brought Alan Wilson's attention back to reality, and Greta Garbo twisted her foot.

Getting up and walking into the arena, Allen Wilson asked with concern, "Oh, God, did you twist your foot?"

Greta Garbo wanted to fight against Ingrid Bergman, who was ten years younger and had deeper nerves and strength. It was really difficult, and it was because of this move that led to the current consequences. Although she was very neutral when wearing men’s clothing Beauty, but after all, it is not a man, but a miscalculation of the current situation.

"Greta!" Ingrid Bergman apologized, seeing that the ankle of the other party was already red and swollen. Although it had nothing to do with Ingrid Bergman in theory, it still had something to do with it after all.

"It's okay, let's go back." Greta Garbo took a deep breath, still maintaining a cold expression.

At dinner time, Ellen Wilson was still busy, and the two actresses looked on. Ellen Wilson asked if he wanted a doctor to see, but this was rejected by Greta Garbo, who had also been injured because of filming.

In the era when she entered Hollywood, Hollywood was nothing more than a sweatshop, and the treatment of actors was far from what it is today.

"I'll take Greta home." Ingrid Bergman said apologetically after finishing her meal.

Alan Wilson, who wanted to make a good deal, suddenly said the opposite, "You are also a woman, so let me do this kind of thing."

Greta Garbo, who had been silent all this time, changed her eyes slightly, and her gaze at Ingrid Bergman became incomprehensible.

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work." Ingrid Bergman's answer made Greta Garbo swallow a mouthful of spit.

After the countrymen left, there were only two people left in the apartment, Alan Wilson and Greta Garbo.

Greta Garbo didn't take her eyes off the man in front of her for a moment, watching him put away the tableware until she grabbed her ankle and gently pinched it in the name of massage.

"You can't help it?" Greta Garbo said first before Allen Wilson made the final move, "I advise you to calm down, you are only in your 20s, and you still have a bright future."

"Has Ms. Greta ever acted as a policeman?" Alan Wilson looked at Greta Garbo, who was powerless to resist. If he had known this effect, he would have arranged to play tennis a long time ago, and there was no need to wait until today.

Greta Garbo stared at Alan Wilson, but this time it didn't work, and she was carried directly to the bedroom.

The chirping of cicadas at night outside the window made the two people who were in the post-war remodeling period break free from the blankness of their heads.

"I want to be convenient, carry me to the bathroom." Greta Garbo sat up, stretched out her hand and pushed Alan Wilson, who also wore the night as his clothes.

The latter got up to serve, and the two left the bedroom together, and the sound of dripping came after a while.

"Greta, Greta, are you there?" Ingrid Bergman knocked on the door of Greta Garbo's apartment and called, but she couldn't wait for an answer. She said freely, "Didn't you come back? Could it be..."

Ingrid Bergman suddenly turned around and looked at the apartment in the distance. She felt as if she had discovered something extraordinary. Is the clown myself?

Counting the time spent traveling across the ocean, for women of their age, life is indeed quite difficult.But it can't be like this!Ingrid Bergman said nothing.

It's not that Ingrid Bergman's acting skills are not online, it's just that she never thought about it, but now, her doubts have appeared, but she can't believe her guess.
