Chapter 318 The Power of Role Models
"You and I are going to meet the rich Indians?" Pamela Mountbatten turned her head and said hesitantly, "Isn't this appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate? You are the deputy king's daughter, but you have no public position. With this status, you can stay out of the matter. It is actually very suitable." Putting his arms around Pamela Mountbatten's waist, Alan Wilson said in a persuasive way, " This is definitely an important matter for the empire, Pamela, as citizens of the empire, we should be anxious about others' needs, think about what others think, and do our best to benefit the empire."
After all, Pamela Mountbatten is just a girl under eighteen years old. I had never faced anything alone, especially in British India.
The matter of contacting the rich people in India has been approved by London. Of course, the premise of this approval is how much cash can be obtained from the rich people in British India who have grown up. If London is satisfied, the affair will be considered a real success.
Alan Wilson believes that this matter must be done. To use an inappropriate metaphor, it is like when the war begins, men go to fight, and other men who have not gone to the battlefield frequently sneak into your bedroom from behind the long and narrow mobile home late at night.
If you had gone to war, a man would have taken your place and taken your young wife away.
Men in many countries now understand this metaphor very well, including but not limited to the United Kingdom. Don’t think that American soldiers can avoid this. When American soldiers leave their country, the wives or girlfriends of these soldiers also have to face other men who have not joined the army. Poaching.
Only magic can defeat magic, and only interests can leverage interests. Building the dependence of the upper class of India on the British Empire is the top priority at the moment.
This is not done from British India alone, but British India is the first colony to become independent. Alan Wilson's present work may serve as a model for other colonies.
There are no flights between France's former colonial countries, but there are direct flights to Paris.
In fact, the same is true in the UK, but it is not as superficial as the French, and it is more hidden.
Dubai and Doha, Qatar have flights to almost every corner of the UK. There are as many as fifteen flights a day from Dubai to London, and there are ten flights a day from Doha to London. Moreover, these two routes have all been shortlisted for the top ten most profitable routes in the world!
The Middle East is just one representative of a wide range of British colonies. At present, the power of oil has not yet been revealed. The most valuable colony is still British India. If Alan Wilson does this well, he can set a good example for other colonies. Set an example.
Facing Alan Wilson's persuasion, Pamela Mountbatten had little resistance. Who made this man vow to let India's richest people see the world?
Since he promised Pamela Mountbatten, he started to dress up carefully and put on a British long skirt, hoping to make Alan Wilson look good. In fact, just introducing that she was the deputy king's daughter already made the assistant commissioner look good. .
The importance of the country's pillar industries is self-evident. Alan Wilson can't really name the pillar industries of the British Empire at the moment, but he knows that the pillar industries after Mrs. Thatcher came to power are the media industry, the financial industry, and the service industry. , other things, it should not be considered an industry, only cutting-edge factories remain.
The UK's R&D expenditures have even caught up with Spain and Italy, heading downhill.
But even the bottom line of Europe, Southern Europe, cannot be compared with Japan and South Korea. At this time, what matters is the foundation. Italy and South Korea have similar numbers per capita, but Italian workers only work half as many hours as South Korea. To make the same money, South Korea has to work hard for a day, while Italy can make the same money in half a day.
South Korea, let alone Italy, cannot compare with Greece, which is in economic recession, in terms of social welfare expenditures. Even though South Korea's per capita income is 30% higher than that of Greece, its welfare expenditures are only half of Greece's. An average of 30,000 people in South Korea is equivalent to only 15,000 in Europe.
Probably on the same level as Poland.
Not everything can be measured by numbers. What London wants to do at present is nothing more than to save the cost of maintaining British India while retaining the interests of British India. Even though the income is less than before, the costs disappear and it is more cost-effective than before.
Although the comprador class is naturally weak, Alan Wilson has no intention of forcing these rich Indians to submit. The British Empire is about to withdraw, and of course it is necessary to be a gentleman now.
It can be seen that Pamela Mountbatten has also been carefully dressed to help Alan Wilson achieve his goal smoothly. She secretly came to the meeting place to support the assistant commissioner.
Alan Wilson's eyes lit up. Although Pamela Mountbatten was not an extremely beautiful woman, there were a few extremely beautiful women in the world. After some dressing up, they could definitely be used.
"Alan, are you satisfied?" Pamela Mountbatten was a little embarrassed to face such a look, and asked anxiously.
Ziliu! After sucking back the saliva that was about to seep out between his teeth, Alan Wilson blurted out the rainbow fart of his brain, "A pair of moving, natural, perfect legs, ankles and beautiful breasts, very fresh, very smart buttocks, and long Feet with very delicate toes.”
"I asked you if you are satisfied with what you are wearing. What about your breasts and buttocks?" Pamela Mountbatten's ears were burning, and she stamped her feet in shame and anger, "If you continue to do this, I will ignore you."
"It's mainly the innate temperament. The appearance will fade, but what remains unchanged is the nobility." Upon hearing this, Alan Wilson immediately changed his angle and continued to attack Pamela Mountbatten.
"Actually, it's not that good." Pamela Mountbatten couldn't help but turn up the corners of her mouth. She was quite satisfied with this feedback, as long as it could help this man.
In order to show the reality that British India is still in the hands of the British Empire, Alan Wilson chose a manor as a place to meet the richest merchant class in British India.
The manor house, a standard Victorian white-wainscoted house with a porch and gaudy ornamentation, was built in 1866 and was the third to be erected on the site. houses. The first one was a wooden house built in the 1820s. The owner should be Indian and it is now used as a stable.
Jamhanger Ratanji Darbhai Tata was the head of the largest conglomerate in India in later generations. Unlike ordinary Indian elites who went to study in the UK, Jamhanger first went to France. He was in France when he was a child. When he was in school, his neighbor Louis was a legendary French pilot who was world-famous for being the first to fly across the English Channel. The plane is parked on the beach next to the house for tourists to watch.
Zhan Hange took tutoring lessons in English with an English teacher and prepared to apply for Cambridge University. Unexpectedly, before the tutoring period was over, France issued a decree requiring all young men over the age of twenty to serve in the military. Therefore, he was unable to attend university and instead served in the French Army. After one year, he hopes to stay in the military for a while and take an officer's course.
Zhanhange is now forty-three years old. For a man, especially a rich man, not only is he not old, but he is at the peak of his golden age. Don't forget that when Reagan and Brezhnev were in power at the same time, the United States and What did the Soviet Union say? On the one hand, it criticized the other party for being in charge of old people, and at the same time, it expressed that its own leadership was at its peak.
"Pamela, this is the Indian national entrepreneur Mr. Janhange whom I often mentioned. Mr. Janhange is full of ideals of serving the country through industry and will definitely play a decisive role in India's future."
The first time he saw Janhanger, Alan Wilson introduced him to Pamela Mountbatten in a voice that the other party could definitely hear.
You are clearly not talking about national entrepreneurs, you are talking about compradors! Although she thought so in her heart, Pamela Mountbatten still expressed her welcome very appropriately, "I actually heard people from the Governor's Palace mention the deeds of Mr. Janhanger and the Tata Consortium. Everyone was full of praise. Today, I finally It’s time to meet the legend himself. ”
"Thank you very much, dear madam." While accepting the compliment, Zhanhange took the initiative to say, "Actually, my biggest regret in life is that I never went to Cambridge University."
"It's still a long time. Maybe it's not a pity. There is still a chance to make amends." Upon hearing this, Alan Wilson shook his head slightly to show that things were not going to turn around.
For a poor student, this would almost certainly be a pity, but for someone like Zhan Hange. To be recognized by Cambridge University, as long as the time is right, it is not just a matter of words.
With the financial resources of the Tata consortium and India's future status, as long as Janhanger is willing, I believe Cambridge University will not be too rigid and will show a flexible moral bottom line at the appropriate time.
Only a few hours later, Balwo Dath Birla, the head of the Birla family, arrived.
Whether it is the Tata family or the Birla family, the business model can be regarded as a Concern model family business. The Concern model has been translated into chaebol in Japan and South Korea. Germany is the origin and master of the Concern Group.
One day later, Indian rich people from all over the country had arrived. In Alan Wilson's eyes, it seemed that even the air began to smell like gold coins.
Edel, secretary of the commissioner, also came by car and brought assessment information on various industries in India in the hands of the Governor-General. and UK industry data currently in the hands of Government House. There are many things that fill a trunk. In fact, these are all reduced versions, otherwise the workload would be increased several times.
When everyone arrived, the face-to-face contact officially began. Alan Wilson expressed the goodwill of the British Empire, "Dear national entrepreneurs, thank you for coming. Facts have proved that you are friends of the British Empire."
