"People can't be too greedy!" Alan Wilson sighed, but if a man doesn't care about politics and isn't lustful, what's the point of living? Compared with these two points, smoking and drinking are just minor problems.
There are some mistakes that cannot be made. For example, in front of a woman, you must not mention another woman too much.
"Your little brother, I am so lucky to follow you in this life." Hedy Lamarr, who was playing with the tools for committing crimes, glanced at the man, "I am getting more and more courageous. The beautiful legend of Sicily is still editing, so anxious Urging me to come over."
"I'm a worthless person, and I've only pursued this little thing in my life." Alan Wilson gave Hedy Lamarr a tacit look and swore, "But I promise, I am absolutely sincere to you, the biggest I hope Hisaishi will make you happy all your life."
What he said was absolutely sincere, even a movie queen wouldn't be able to tell the truth from the lie. Moreover, Hedy Lamarr has always played the role of a vase, and this time she showed her utmost sincerity in the movie "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily".
Despite his steamy time with Hedy Lamarr, Alan Wilson, who was played by Dragoon once, is already avoiding talking about work in front of any women.
Furthermore, Hedy Lamarr has a criminal record and once defected to the free world from Germany. It is not impossible to leak his current work to the United States.
Especially now that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is formulating the impact of Eisenhower, the new president, on Britain and the United States.
In fact, in terms of domestic affairs, Alan Wilson remembered that American industry would reach its peak during Eisenhower's term. This is due to the increase in demand brought about by the large-scale infrastructure construction promoted during Eisenhower's term.
He is also the last president of the United States who still takes infrastructure seriously. After him, the United States began to pursue what Marx said: "Capital has no way to engage in material production, such an unfortunate thing, and it is unwilling to engage in material production. It always wants faster and easier ways to make money."
The United States began to enter a bottleneck in the 1960s and was struggling, in addition to the impact of the Vietnam War. There is also the question of whether to continue investing in industry or take the financial route.
Finally, in the 1980s, Reagan made a choice and chose the financialization route. It is impossible for a country to be both a financial center and the world's factory. The smaller the population of a country, the more difficult it is to have both.
The United Kingdom has faced this problem before. In fact, during the Cold War, the Labor Party had always wanted to ensure that it retained a certain strength of industry and also wanted to become a financial center. The proposed response was a wave of nationalization;
Use the state to protect industry and at the same time shape London's status as a financial center.
Finally, during the Thatcher era, which was the same period as Reagan, Britain also gave up its local industry. It is much easier to become a financial center. In the past, there were so many links in industrial production, materials technology, and marketing that could not be missed. Workers would cause trouble from time to time. This capital industry was really tiring. Now, all I have to do is create complicated and confusing trading rules that are beneficial to me, and wait for the leeks to come. I can also use the hegemony of the US dollar to conquer the country, conquer the world, and conquer the longs and shorts. Wouldn’t it be wonderful?
In the current UK, Alan Wilson is also helping the local financialization to a certain extent. It is destined to not last long if it eats both ends. Some industries indeed have little profit. Forcibly retaining them after nationalization will only make the hole bigger and bigger.
If we start the transfer now, we can still ensure that we are under the control of the London government. When the day comes for the capitalists to vote with their feet, the UK will not be able to control what is transferred and what is not transferred. Once it starts, it will be like the Dutch seawall this time. , plummeted thousands of miles.
"One hundred and thirty-six factories are on the transfer list, as well as supporting factories involving machinery, automobiles and shipbuilding. Two hundred and twenty-seven need to be retained!" Alan Wilson came to the East District with the investigation report Cabinet Office, No. 70, Whitehall.
He came back all the way, originally to go back to his hometown to poach people. Britain has one foot in the 20th century and one foot in the Victorian era. It is as funny as the United States in later generations having Silicon Valley and Black Lives Matter at the same time.
"Will it cause unemployment?" Norman Brook frowned slightly, "The population in the East District is already poor. One-third of the factories will be transferred out at once?"
"Dear Sir, industrial upgrading is a matter of time." Alan Wilson shook his head helplessly, "But currently, the reconstruction plan itself can absorb a group of labor force, and the reconstruction plan will be completed in three to five years. No one will think of those things. A profession that cannot make one rich can only bring a burden to the country.”
Alan Wilson feels that if this is not possible, the only option is to develop the tertiary industry. The tertiary industry is not without its advantages.
The biggest advantage is that there will be no such thing as overproduction in the service industry. If you open a restaurant, will you have to feed the diners? Or do you have to shave off the client’s scalp during a haircut?
In an industry where people serve people, there will be no such thing as overcapacity. In later generations, the problem in the United States is not caused by the service industry. Instead, the industry has almost been transferred away, leaving almost only the service industry.
For a country like Germany that retains its industrial strength, there is no problem in supporting the country together with the service industry.
It is nothing more than a moderate issue. The United States started by transferring industries to Japan, then to South Korea, and then to Southeast Asia. Wave after wave never stops, so it would be strange if there is no problem.
Although Alan Wilson's words were very promising, Norman Brook did not directly agree to it. He still had to conduct some evaluation. The transfer of the industry must comply with the basic principles, high pollution and low profits.
Alan Wilson thinks there is no problem with this standard. Isn't everything from easy to difficult? Some transfers are good. Many countries that want to be transferred have no chance. For example, that famous and powerful country in the 21st century racked its brains to prove to the Sleeping King that I am one of ours and no one is more reliable than me.
Great and prosperous countries always want to pay a small price and get a big gain. This is very unappreciative! If we could hit the Himalayas hard and kill 108,000 soldiers, and lose more than 100,000 to 200,000 square kilometers of land to show our sincerity.
With this kind of inextricable hatred, Washington will definitely feel sincerity, but the old immortal still can't spare it.
As for whether the financial industry in the hands of the United States can support 300 million people, Alan Wilson doesn't know. He knows what the United Kingdom is like. It only has 50 million people. Retaining high-end manufacturing and the financial industry together will put more pressure than the United States, which does the same thing. The people are much smaller.
If that doesn't work, you can still immigrate. Australia currently has a population of less than 10 million. You can also be a pick-up person, allowing the unemployed people in the UK to start a new life in a different place.
After careful consideration, in general, the risk of industrial transfer is preventable and controllable, especially with the help of Australia.
Although the industrial upgrading of many countries will abandon manufacturing, it is not the only way. Judging from the fact that Germany not only does not give up but is even expanding its manufacturing fields, there is no contradiction between developed manufacturing and becoming and maintaining the status of a developed country. This does not mean that developed countries must give up manufacturing, or even low-end manufacturing.
Norman Brook left the evaluation report and said that it would be handed over to the cabinet in the near future. He asked Alan Wilson to complete the reconstruction of the East District first, "Alan, I have always been very optimistic about you. Today, this may be the only project between me and Edward, there is not much consensus. I asked you to retain the position of Commissioner of Malaya and deal with the reconstruction of the Eastern District at the same time. This is to let you consider the problem from multiple angles. After all, the cabinet secretary has a lot of work and is not limited to a certain field. You do you know?"
Alan Wilson accurately received this wave of chicken blood, and immediately felt that he had endless strength. Now someone asked him to go to the East District to work as a construction worker himself.
"Does this mean that this renovation is an exam?" Alan Wilson thought as he walked out of the Cabinet Office.
Other candidates responsible for the reconstruction are also very powerful officials in Whitehall. Of course, he has no dissatisfaction with being able to perform on the same stage as these young heroes, who are generally around forty years old.
His age is not an advantage in today's Whitehall, but a disadvantage. But if Norman Brooke had been Cabinet Secretary for ten years, Alan Wilson would have been in all the favorable conditions at that time.
In fact, this is also the idea of Burke Trend and others. Now everyone is wary of each other and already feels that the opponent to lead Whitehall in the future is among the candidates called by Norman Brook this time.
It's just that there is nothing noticeable about Alan Wilson. Who would pay attention to an overseas commissioner whose archive age is only 29 years old? On the contrary, the remaining people are all in the golden age of around forty and are on a competitive track.
Now people, including Burke Trend, feel that Alan Wilson's role should be, "I thought he was here to assist me!"
While everyone was preparing to start the renovation project for the warmer weather, on the flight between North America and Europe, Audrey Hepburn looked out the window with concern. After spending a year in the United States, something seemed to have happened that made her very distressed. Variety.
Even now, she still doesn't know how to face this land. The plane landed from Paris Airport, and she was soon picked up by a special car sent by Woodpecker Pictures.
"That little actor is back!" Hedy Lamarr, who had just finished talking about the scene with Alan Wilson, revealed to the man the fact that Audrey Hepburn had returned to Europe.
"Oh, it means you and Ingrid's company have another project." Alan Wilson pretended to be calm, "Maybe your company will become a representative of European films in the future."
"Maybe, but that's not what I'm asking about." Hedy Lamarr raised her chin slightly and said with gleaming eyes, "You haven't considered going to Paris recently? There are many excuses!"
