Generally speaking, although every day is a waste of time, they are getting closer and closer to their respective psychological bottom lines. This would not be possible without the efforts of diplomats from various countries.
"Mr. Wilson, if Britain can join the United States in applying pressure." James walked out of the embassy's farewell after today's discussion.
"Britain is not an army power. This is really beyond its capabilities." Alan Wilson looked helpless and opened his mouth and said, "Actually, it is the Soviet Union that can help the United States in this matter, but Mr. James, you should understand The difficulty of it.”
American gratitude? Alan Wilson doesn't think Americans' gratitude has reached the scale of 250 million pounds.
Say a word for the United States and add the United Kingdom to the list of countries that confiscate assets? If this happens, will the United States pay 250 million pounds in compensation to the United Kingdom?
Therefore, this matter should be regarded as the price of the United States' support for the Gun Party. How can anyone be willing to take a gamble and refuse to admit defeat? Everything today is America's own choice, so what's the matter? Just shout about the special relationship between Britain and the United States. If something goes wrong, Britain still thinks that assets of 250 million pounds are more practical.
Didn't he already point out a clear path for the Americans to find the Soviet Union? Although it may be useless, it is at least a solution. Maybe the Soviet Union has a fever today and hopes that the United States will die suddenly today.
Alan Wilson had no time to talk to James. He had to send a telegram to the United States today. Today was Great Britain's birthday, and nothing was as big as Vivien Leigh's birthday.
When Alan Wilson from the British Embassy took out the personal diary, it was of course another one. Under Vivien Leigh's birthday was Hedy Lamarr's birthday, four days apart.
"Go to the headquarters of Woodpecker Pictures and thank you!" Alan Wilson ordered the driver of the embassy. "It seems that the negotiations with the Americans will not be fruitful in a short time. Please return the prepared fireworks."
So the fireworks prepared to celebrate the transatlantic partnership were returned to the Woodpecker Pictures headquarters by Alan Wilson.
"You are willing to spend hundreds of pounds a month." Ingrid Bergman looked at Alan Wilson busy and looked disgusted, "But you are too busy to finish sending the telegram to Vivian. , we are preparing to celebrate Heidi’s birthday here.”
"The key is that your birthday has passed. Otherwise, if I happen to be in Paris, I will definitely give you an unforgettable birthday." Alan Wilson asked, "Has Heidi's classic scene been edited? What floor is the recording studio on?"
"But my voice sings? Isn't it a little bit?" Ingrid Bergman hesitated,
She didn't think she was musically talented.
"I'm here to help you two partners of Woodpecker Pictures to increase their relationship!" Alan Wilson frowned, "I can't sing, can I? If someone from MI5 discovers this, it won't be a good thing for me."
"Okay!" Ingrid Bergman also knew that Alan Wilson was in trouble, so she reluctantly agreed.
In fact, any song that can be widely sung is not too bad anyway, even if it is Korean music. Although the lyrics of Korean music are really bad, there is no problem with the melody.
Outside the recording studio, Alan Wilson listened to the singing debut of the Nordic goddess Ingrid Bergman. The English version of "Kiss Everywhere" was sung in the mouth of Ingrid Bergman, which also had a unique flavor.
"Be careful, one kiss can turn all living beings upside down, one kiss can save someone, the body temperature that saves you will always be donated to someone else, one kiss can steal a heart, one kiss can kill someone, one inch of kiss is worth an inch of gold, Looks like a rough trip.”
Alan Wilson sang along, and after Ingrid Bergman finished singing, the Nordic goddess listened to it herself. The following is the part where the harmony is added, "Farewell to her, she kisses him, he kisses her, kisses him. She, continue the happy process, you and me, he is so happy, the next her, she kisses him, he kisses her, he kisses her, continues the happy process, you and me, he is so happy.”
Alan Wilson sang the Chinese version, and Ingrid Bergman came out of the studio, and the two listened to the record effect together. I was also asked, "Which country's music is this?"
"Music knows no borders!" Alan Wilson chuckled and sang Kiss Everywhere, "Add Heidi's movie clips, I believe she will be very happy on her birthday."
Ingrid Bergman's face turned cloudy. Although it was inappropriate to think so, her mood was not good. There was no reason, it was just bad.
"It might be a good innovative route." Alan Wilson remembered that the current main way of carrying music is still film, not tape.
In the 1960s, the Dutch company Philips developed the world's first cassette tape, which was only a quarter of the size of the early Fidelity Pack loop cassette recorder. Both sides of the tape were wrapped in plastic shells to maximize the protection of the data inside. , each side holds thirty to forty-five minutes of stereo music.
The tape recorder is no longer a new thing. The emergence of magnetic tape is an applied innovation. The current tape recorder has not eliminated film due to its size. The audience for film phonographs is still very large.
There were tape recorders in Woodpecker Studios' recording studios, but gramophone films also existed. American Kamras invented the iron oxide tape, which made the output signal four times higher than the original German tape. But early reel-to-reel tape recorders were still large, expensive, and required careful use.
If Philips can take the lead in miniaturizing magnetic tapes, this will definitely be a good way to make money.
The magnetic tape was an applied innovation, but although there were many audio tape formats at the time, Philips decided to license the cassette format for free under pressure from Sony, allowing it to later dominate the market.
In this way, applied innovation has become a market standard, completing an important leap from an ordinary company to a company that sets industry standards. This step is not a big leap.
Thinking of this, Alan Wilson took out the diary on his body, and what he saw was a row of women's birthdays. He took it by mistake!
Before Ingrid Bergman turned around, Alan Wilson had already taken out the diary where he usually took notes and recorded the contents of the tape.
It's not that he is bragging. If his diary is lost, the loss will be greater than the loss of Edison to mankind. Although Edison was indeed a patent troll, it is undeniable that he invented many things.
In the conference room inside the U.S. Embassy, James did not get as furious as he did two days ago when there was a risk of confiscation of U.S. assets.
Maybe he was used to it, because of the news from the Far East, Alan Wilson already knew that some assets in the United States had really been confiscated. This was really sad news. On the day he heard this, Alan Wilson I felt so deeply about the special relationship between Britain and the United States that I almost laughed out loud under the covers.
As for British assets, whether they will end up like the American assets depends entirely on whether the Korean War breaks out. He remembered that New China first struck hard at American capital, leaving a way for British capital to survive.
This heavy blow was also restrained. If the Korean War had not broken out, the U.S. capital industry might have just cleaned up and it would have been over. But the Korean War finally wiped out all American capital. The fate of British capital should have been similar to that of American capital in that it was gradually liquidated. However, the outbreak of the Korean War allowed British capital to survive.
The emergence of a war had completely opposite effects on American and British capital.
"If you have no objections, we will formally reply to our government on the 9th."
"Tomorrow?" Alan Wilson raised his wrist. It was Hedy Lamarr's birthday, so he raised his head and refused directly. "I think it is better to choose a day that is more thoughtful, soliciting opinions from all parties, and has great significance. , I think January 1st is good.”
He is so busy that he has no time to pay attention to the small matters of import and export control. He also has to celebrate Hedy Lamarr's birthday. You can think carefully about things here. It won't work if Hedy Lamarr's birthday is delayed over there. There is only one birthday a year.
"Mr. Wilson, is there any obstruction from the British side?" James asked with a frown.
"No!" Alan Wilson said righteously, "It's mainly for the sense of ceremony. It's better to choose an important day."
After leaving the U.S. Embassy, he rushed to Woodpecker Pictures excitedly and showed up at the private theater in the building with the cake he ordered to celebrate Hedy Lamarr's first birthday in Europe.
On the big screen in the theater, Hedy Lamarr's classic video clips, accompanied by the melody of Kiss Everywhere and Ingrid Bergman's singing, show all the beautiful sides of Hedy Lamarr. Listen to Alan Wilson and As she sang, mist gradually appeared in the beautiful eyes of the mother of wifi, and she was deeply moved.
"Thank you!" Hedy Lamarr looked at Alan Wilson with tender eyes, "It's so heartwarming."
Alan Wilson went to the window and opened the curtains. Under the night, beautiful fireworks bloomed in the air, reflecting this beautiful face, "Heidi, happy birthday."
"You too, Allen!" Hedy Lamarr hugged the man tightly, "It's like you're really in a movie. Is there a place to rest tonight?"
"At this time, it seems a little late to return to the embassy." Alan Wilson looked regretful, seeming to regret that he could not serve the country wholeheartedly.
The key is that Alan Wilson works for the country all year round, why can't he enjoy it? The production team's donkeyue didn't use it like this, right?
Different people may have different interpretations of the big day. Take the Labor Party as an example. The recent big day certainly refers to the establishment of the Socialist Party International in London. As the founding party, the Labor Party has the undoubted status as the leader of the Socialist Party.
This can also be regarded as preparation for the national election in February, which will stimulate a wave of support. This is two years earlier than the emergence of the Socialist International in history.
