Chapter 406 Governor of Newfoundland

"I'm just staying in New York for a few days, and I'm going to Newfoundland next month." Alan Wilson said proudly, there is nothing a MILF can't handle.

"Then you go, what are you doing in New York?" Greta Garbo put on her clothes with a cold face, "Are you coming to New York specifically to collect female stars? Just come here specifically?"

"That's not true, it's mainly just passing by." Alan Wilson lied without hesitation. The attitude of this silent film queen is really frustrating. "What's the difference between you and your competitor Katharine Hepburn? As for her, Just following a married man, you are stuck in memories for a long time and can't extricate yourself. Isn't that interesting?"

He found that the female stars of this era are really different from the female stars of a few decades later. As for Katherine Hepburn, just because a married woman never got married.

Greta Garbo is even more legendary. Her first love was the director of her country who discovered her. Later, because Hollywood used Greta Garbo to hype up the scandal, the director got older and finally quit and passed away sadly. This made the silent film queen feel disheartened and decided to remain single for the rest of her life.

"None of your business!" Greta Garbo was poked at a painful spot, and her already melancholy face became even more indifferent, "It's not like you don't have a fiancée, and you provoke a forty-year-old woman every day, isn't it just for your vanity? What?"

"Can you be reasonable? You were not like this when you were in New Delhi." Alan Wilson sighed. He didn't know what went wrong, but if there is a problem, it must be solved.

He also counted on Greta Garbo's clever mind to help him analyze what Americans liked so that they could suit their liking.

This kind of thing would best strengthen Newfoundland's status. In fact, Alan Wilson also had such an extravagant hope in his heart that Newfoundland would remain under British rule and not choose independence.

There are really not many places like Newfoundland that are loyal to the British Empire and have a small population and the cost of maintaining rule is easy. Moreover, the area is large, more than 400,000 square kilometers, while the British mainland only has more than 20 Thousands of square kilometers.

Returning to her serious look, Greta Garbo finally returned to normal first, "Newfoundland is an autonomous territory in the northeastern part of Canada?"

Seeing Ellen Wilson nod, Greta Garbo thought for a moment and said, "With such a small population, it is too difficult to start a business through work."

"That's right!" Alan Wilson strongly agreed. Going to work for Chinese workers could only solve a short-term problem. After all, Chinese workers could not live there permanently, and the residents of Newfoundland would not allow Chinese workers to settle there.

"Then you should think about how to attract the attention of rich people. But the local climate is not very friendly. Americans usually go to their own country when they go out for fun. Puerto Rico is quite far away." Greta Garbo said thoughtfully. , "You can't make movies, there's Hollywood. Lottery is one way, but it's not sure whether it can affect the United States. Think about any way to benefit the rich class, and then look for some celebrities you are familiar with. Shoot TV commercials to gain visibility.”

"Tourism is not allowed either." Ellen Wilson listened to Greta Garbo and began to think of ways around the wealthy class. What do the rich need? Fame? Some, but certainly not all.

The general desire of the rich is the same as the general desire of the poor. To make money, the more the better. The rich also want to see an increase in wealth, especially since the inheritance tax in the UK is very high!

Inheritance tax? Alan Wilson seems to have opened up the eight extraordinary meridians,

Suddenly the idea came to mind, this time I came to New York at the right time, "Greta, thank you. To express my gratitude, let me cook you a meal."

Alan Wilson's time is really limited. As a time management master, it is impossible to conjure time out of thin air. In five days he was going to Boston, and then he stayed for a day to explain some things, and then took a ship to Newfoundland.

In fact, before he thought of a good solution, time was not so tight because he had to travel around the United States. But now that we have figured out a way, there is no need to push back on Newfoundland's position.

Greta Garbo was still confused. When she saw this man, she seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person. She was confused in her heart. But when she saw that the man had stood up naked, she frowned slightly and said, "How can you cook like this with your pants on?"

"I'm sorry, I thought I could be treated like a husband." Alan Wilson apologized without sincerity and entered the kitchen without treating himself as an outsider. "Can you accompany me to buy some clothes tomorrow? After all, I'm in New York." Finland is not easy to buy.”

Who will accompany you to buy clothes? Greta Garbo thought so, and a man and a woman appeared on the streets of New York the next day. Greta Garbo was wearing huge sunglasses. She didn't want to come, but she was threatened.

Yesterday evening when she was on the balcony, this man threatened her. If she didn't agree, he would shout at the pedestrians below in the downtown area to let everyone know what they were doing. He kept saying that this was the United States, not the United Kingdom, and even called the police. She gave in and agreed to come out to buy clothes with her, and then Alan Wilson took her back to the room.

Shopping is very unfamiliar to her. Since her retirement, Greta Garbo has stayed at home for many years and has few friends, let alone being in the busy city.

"You should go out and hang out more. Although you Swedes are born with a sense of distance, your current living situation is too much. If your first love is still alive, I don't want to see you living like this."

This is because the temperature in the northeastern United States is not high during this season, otherwise Greta Garbo would look weird wearing a hat, scarf, and huge sunglasses.

On this day's trip to the Big Apple, it was basically Alan Wilson talking and Greta Garbo listening. There was little dialogue between the two. Greta Garbo was also afraid of being recognized. She was broke no matter how hard she said it. A person with a box office record is still very well-known in the United States.

After fulfilling Pamela Mountbatten's duty without any danger, Greta Garbo returned home in fear and helped the uninvited guest try on clothes.

"Actually, Newfoundland is sparsely populated. You can go and see me then." Alan Wilson said to the silent film queen behind him while stuffing his clothes into the suitcase.

"Who wants to go there to see you?" Greta Garbo refused instinctively.

"Say it again?" Ellen Wilson's face turned cloudy, and he looked directly at Greta Garbo.

"I mean, I'll go again if I have the chance." Greta Garbo's attitude immediately changed from firm opposition to conditional approval, and finally to firm support.

"It's so gratifying to hear such an unforced answer." Alan Wilson finally found the pulse of the silent film queen. Although Greta Garbo seemed strong, she would choose to surrender when faced with a stronger one.

In the next few days, Alan Wilson stayed in Greta Garbo's luxury apartment and looked through the books he had just purchased. It must be said that in this era, publishing books in the United States is already very expensive compared to the price of goods.

The book is called "An American's Dilemma: The Negro Question and Modern Democracy." This book was a hugely influential denunciation and indictment of inequality in the United States, especially in the South, in many ways.

The author points out that racial inequality in the South violates the American creed of freedom and opportunity for all.

Few Southerners will appreciate the book's description of the South as a "tedious, unsafe" remote place where "emotional Puritan religion" prevails and where there is an "unhealthy emphasis on sex."

From aspects such as the lynching system and the legal system, it shows how black and white people in the American South were trapped in a destructive relationship full of fear and violation. This relationship emerged because of slavery and perpetuated because of broader American attitudes toward poverty, crime, and social segregation.

Reading and taking notes has always been a good habit of Alan Wilson. In the notebook he carries, Alan Wilson recorded that in addition to the red threat represented by the Soviet Union, he also added pink threat, purple threat and black threat. The latter three colors Threats represented the women's movement, gay equality, and black issues.

"It would be great if these three issues were combined with the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson put away the notebook, but it was a pity that now was not the time, and he could not get to know McCarthy yet.

Greta Garbo happened to come back from the balcony and took back Alan Wilson's clothes that had been dried. When she saw the man muttering, she added, "Why are you laughing?"

"I've been reading your Swedish books and learned some knowledge." Alan Wilson looked at the book in his hand and complained, "Comparing the prices of books and goods in the United States, they are too expensive."

Greta Garbo is not Hedy Lamarr. She has no habit of reading. Her stay-at-home life consists of watching soap operas every day. It’s a shame that she was able to live like this for seven years. According to the future trajectory, she will continue to do so until her death. .

It was already time in New York. Alan Wilson dragged his full suitcase to the door and suddenly turned around, "It seems that at this time, wives will give their husbands a farewell kiss or something like that for a long trip."

"You are not my husband." Even though Greta Garbo said this, she still stood up on tiptoes and kissed her.

"Remember to visit me when you have time. You are Swedish and adapting to the local climate should not be a problem." Alan Wilson stood at the door contentedly and said something about staying at home and taking care of your health before dragging his suitcase slowly. Went down the stairs.

This time he was really going to take office. Greta Garbo didn't close the door until the footsteps on the stairs disappeared.

Alan Wilson, who arrived in Boston, spoke of sincere solidarity at the consulate and boarded the ship to Newfoundland the next day. He already had a rough plan. Under this premise, time was precious. Finally, his When you set foot on the soil of Newfoundland, you have entered the role of Governor of Newfoundland.
