Chapter 319 A Trustworthy Rich Man

Was Alan Wilson wrong? That's absolutely right. In later generations of British rich lists, a handful of foreigners, Russian oligarchs, and Indian predators ranked high on the list, all traveling thousands of miles to become outstanding citizens in London.

This process is just beginning now. The special relationship between Britain and India was established at the upper level before leaving. Once successful, this will of course be the credit of Alan Wilson. This should be the last big vote.

In the final analysis, British India still has potential to be tapped and can make one last contribution. He did not want to use the imperialist rhetoric of never surrendering until the Indian blood was shed, but it was mainly about mutual benefit.

He wants to get at least 100 million pounds from these wealthy people, most of whom have already obtained British status.

In other words, based on last year's income, at least half of the tax revenue of British India would be collected. It seems impossible, but it is not completely impossible. In fact, per capita income does not represent everything. After all, it is just the economic development of that year.

Someone like Ali Khan, who has been the Maharaja of Hyderabad for hundreds of years, cannot be reflected in the statistics of that year.

Just like in theory banks are the richest institutions, but in fact no bank can withstand a run.

The accumulated wealth cannot be reflected from the turnover of the year. These are Indian rich people who have been growing for at least several decades. The funds in their hands are definitely not public figures. Even if it cannot be compared with Ali Khan, it is still an unimaginable astronomical figure.

The methods are nothing more than coercion and inducement. Alan Wilson started from the establishment of the Soviet Union. The establishment of the Soviet Union was a major event in the world at any time. Other statements are clichés and this is not his purpose.

"In many places, dangerous pro-Soviet elements are well hidden. These people are the most dangerous enemies of the free world. Wherever the Soviets went, they nationalized all industries, confiscated the wealth of the rich, and threw them into the Inside the prison. Oh, by the way, especially for bankers, the Soviets were never merciful."

Alan Wilson's eyes swept over these rich people. According to the Koran, peaceful believers cannot engage in the profession of usury.

Therefore, the loan sharks in British India were all Hindus, including but not limited to those in front of him, the rich Indians who wore the name of national entrepreneurs, talked about serving the country through industry, drove luxury cars, and were well-dressed.

Most of the current national entrepreneurs do not reject the loan sharking business, which is also an important income for them.

"Maybe there are suspected pro-Soviet elements in the National Congress Party, but they are still well hidden. Who can say for sure."

What he fears most is that the air suddenly becomes quiet, because there are too many people, and the hall is filled with the smell of curry. For the sake of the British Empire, Alan Wilson can endure the bad environment, but he cannot let Pamela Mountbatten endure it too, while these rich people are shocked , whispered to the girl sitting next to her, and asked Pamela Mountbatten to go out for a walk.

Alan Wilson continued to communicate in the coercive stage in the hall. It’s not completely nonsense. The Communist Party of India is already quite powerful. When the Soviet Union was still called Soviet Russia, Bolshevik groups appeared in Calcutta, Bombay, Lahore, Madras and Kangpur in India. .

These groups actively promoted dangerous ideas and founded many publications, such as "Voice of the People" in Bengali, "Socialist" in English, and "Revolution" in Urdu, etc.

The rise of Bolshevik cells caused uneasiness among the authorities in British India. Amid the clamor of "crushing the Bolshevik conspiracy", Bolshevik cell activities across India were severely cracked down.

But then and there, World War II broke out, the British Empire and the Soviet Union became allies again, and the Communist Party of India became a legal party again.

What is the current level of the Communist Party of India? Alan Wilson said without prejudice. It is probably the only local party in India after the Congress Party. If something happens to the Congress Party, it will collapse overnight. British India would probably fall into the hands of the PKI.

So Alan Wilson planned the partition of India and Pakistan for the benefit of the Congress Party. If he really followed Gandhi's advice, if the Congress Party lost the support of the majority of people, the Communist Party of India would not be able to spark a spark?

The work of British India has always been complex, and it is not just lip service. It is a mess of thousands of threads. It's not a matter of hitting hard with a slap on the head.

The Communist Party of India is real, and it is certainly not very friendly to the wealthy people who are called national entrepreneurs but are actually compradors.

After all, the whole world knows how the Soviet Union treats its nobles. It is intolerable that a group of pigs, who are similar to untouchables, want to put the nobles in prison and shoot them one day.

In the face of this threat, national sentiments and religious beliefs have to be put aside. History has proven many times that in the face of this threat, national sentiments and religious conflicts are not a problem.

The atmosphere was a bit heavy, and the most intuitive manifestation was that the smell of curry in the hall was getting stronger. It was really a right decision to let the deputy prince's daughter go out. Alan Wilson made up his mind. If there is a next time, he needs to be with so many Indians. When appearing at the same time, be sure to choose an open place.

After the coercion came the inducement. At this time, Alan Wilson showed the goodwill of the British Empire and expressed concerns to the rich people represented by Jamhanger Tata and Balwo Birla. It was time to give choices.

Everyone knows that the British Empire is about to leave British India. Whether it is fast or slow, this process is irreversible. The British will leave sooner or later, so who will fill the vacant markets and industries?

First of all, it is certainly impossible for the new government to let the British control many important industries. Alan Wilson is not prepared to sell all important industries to the Americans. In fact, there is only one option left, which is to hand over the things that are destined to be unable to be retained. To someone you can trust.

"I wonder if you national entrepreneurs are people that the British Empire can trust?" Alan Wilson said round and round of formulas, and finally got to the point and asked, "Are you willing to replace the British Empire and make contributions in the subcontinent?"

"Yes, we are very willing." After a brief silence, the hall became full of voices. Everyone expressed that they were loyal subjects of the British Empire and would definitely be an important force in the development of India in the future.

"It is not just an important force in India, it may also be an opportunity to enter the European market. Although Europe was severely damaged due to the war, it recovered quickly. A complete Europe is also willing to open the door for you. Of course, this is your Only with this ability can we enter the market.”

Alan Wilson, who was talking nonsense and making big claims, finally tempered his braggadocio a little bit.

That will be at least twenty years later. When India becomes independent, it will definitely build some projects to show that India is too powerful, especially Nehru, the pro-Soviet element.

India's newly independent trend does have a feeling of India's rise. Most of the production capacity in these industries must contribute to India, not to mention how can European countries give up the market?

Post-war reconstruction must be about preserving employment, and low-end industries must be abandoned after complete recovery.

Although Alan Wilson has restrained himself somewhat, the information revealed is enough. It was enough for these cats who smelled the fishy smell to swarm over and express their loyalty to the British Empire at this time, saying that they are the people who should be trusted after the British Empire leaves.

"You're too polite, I really don't need it." Alan Wilson declined righteously. Why is it a Bengal tiger skin again? There's no place to dry it, no fresh food?

"This is all for the sake of the empire, how can I take the opportunity to accept gifts? This is not what a gentleman should do..."

"If this doesn't happen next time, if you do this again, we won't have anything to talk about."

"I personally don't need it, but I have to consider other civil servants' thoughts. It's really embarrassing."

"I'm not collecting your money, but I'm using your money to do your things, right? Doing things costs money, especially for such a big thing, it will definitely cost a lot of money."

In desperation, facing the Indian tycoons who were unable to refuse their hospitality, Alan Wilson could only make an exception and accepted these meager gifts with an unconventional expression.

This is the way to establish personal connections. If Alan Wilson does not accept them, he will not give face to these rich Indians. This is not conducive to establishing a special relationship between Britain and India among the upper classes in India. For the sake of the overall situation, it is necessary to accept them.

In fact, there is nothing valuable at all. Pearls are nothing valuable. They are cultured everywhere in later generations. Although in this era everything is natural, such as diamonds, are artificial things valuable? Of course, this era is also natural.

He is not a woman, so what does he need these things for? It would be better to give gold directly, but when I think that it is essentially a gift to Pamela Mountbatten, it is hard to refuse.

What bad intentions could Alan Wilson have? It’s nothing more than trying to point out a clear path for India’s richest people. To do what was mutually beneficial to them and the British Empire.

"You still can't put your eggs in one basket. In fact, if your company wants to raise funds, the best choice is London. We know each other well. If there is any difficult matter, you can always come to me."

Both Janhanger Tata and Barwo Birla strongly agree with the principle that eggs cannot be put in one basket. Risks must be shared equally. Businessmen cannot be limited to one place. Any place is too dangerous for businessmen.

"Capital belongs to the world." Alan Wilson summed it up righteously. "Before the lumpenproletarians unite, we should first unite. Do you think what I say makes sense?"

"It makes so much sense." A voice of agreement came, and the voice was full of sincerity.
