Chapter 743 Monroe

Alan Wilson's main job at the beginning of the year was to preside over the Malayan Economic Development Seminar. Participants were from all walks of life, including Chinese businessmen and representatives from major Sudans. Since then, it has been proved that Malaya's development is not a small improvement but a good one. excellent.

On the last day of this unofficial gathering, Alan Wilson, in the name of Malayan Commissioner, elaborated on his views on the Malayan economy. The first half was to express his own merits, and the second half was to express his merits together.

In fact, these useless meetings are mainly to create harmonious relationships with local elites and form interest groups.

Of course Pamela Mountbatten herself, as the ruler of Sarawak, should also have a place.

The reason why he started boasting just after the industrial layout was completed was that on the one hand, he needed to create public opinion about getting rich through hard work, and on the other hand, based on his own memory, Malaysia in later generations was actually a top student in Southeast Asia, compared to Thailand and Vietnam. , Malaysia's past glory is even worse than that of South Korea and Japan. Malaysia has maintained an economic growth rate of 8% for 20 consecutive years, ranking first among the four Asian tigers.

In the initial stage of the economy, Malaysia was not far behind compared to Japan and South Korea. Of course, in the second half of the year when it was supposed to build independent industries, it was hit hard by the Asian financial crisis. This is a story for later.

Alan Wilson believed that British Malaya, under his own guidance, had started to take off so many years in advance and should not be worse than later generations. The political traps faced by some electoral countries did not exist here.

The advantage of a colony is that it can avoid the wrangling in democratic politics. However, the average colonial commissioner will not run the colony well, but he happens to have this motivation.

Looking at her husband who was talking endlessly and in high spirits in front of representatives from all walks of life, Pamela Mountbatten was in a trance, rubbing the wedding ring on her fingertips with her fingers, her expression full of pride.

"There is no doubt that Malaya's economic development requires the full support of the British Empire. This is a competition with many competitors on the track. Some people think that British support is irrelevant. Let's look at the future results. , let’s see if Britain, which has ruled the world for hundreds of years, is just lucky.”

Alan Wilson said in a slightly strong tone, "I hope everyone, whether they are my business friends or the representatives of the respected Sultans, should understand that the development of Malaya has been supported by the support of the United Kingdom, Newfoundland, Australia, and New Zealand. Financial support, financial and technical support, the supply of raw materials from British Africa, and the energy supply from the British Protectorate in the Middle East have created such a good environment today and in the future. If you cannot seize this good time, in the future You will regret it.”

Later, the comprador representatives Su Yang and Tian Qianqiu who were supported by the commissioner expressed the community thinking of Britain and Malaya with their own wealth stories. The core meaning is that if Malaya wants to develop well, it cannot do without the British-led The European market supports this stance, which is very satisfactory.

"I hope that Malaya can take fifty years to go through the road that Europe has gone through for two hundred years. With the recognition of the United Kingdom, it is still very likely to succeed. This is the premise and foundation. Without the support of the United Kingdom, you can do anything. It can't be done. Look at the Royal Navy fleets in Penang and Singapore, I believe you all agree on this."

Alan Wilson's voice echoed in the empty palace, and it wasn't all a threat, that was the truth.

Of course, the seminar ended successfully. Businessmen such as Su Yang and Tian Qianqiu surrounded Alan Wilson, "Master Zhongtang, we would like to invite you and your wife to be our guests."

"We are all our own people, why are you so polite?" Alan Wilson pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement, "We are not outsiders, so will I not give you face? The face of you Chinese people is very important.

"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhongtang!" Su Yang said with a happy face, "Without the help of Mr. Zhongtang, we wouldn't be able to live a good life."

"The main thing is London's recognition. I only have part of the credit." Alan Wilson put his hands in his pockets and said with a scoundrel face. "Technically speaking, Britain is no worse than the United States, but it is incomparable in terms of scale. If Malay comes It is a good thing for you and me that the Chinese who come here can shoulder some responsibilities. We are a cooperative relationship. Although I have the power to manage this colony, I generally will not interfere with reliable people who work hard to get rich."

"In many areas, the current British Malaya is still lagging behind, such as fishing boats. I hope that in a few years we will no longer see wooden sailing boats going out to sea for fishing. They are not modern and safe. Malayan fishermen should use British-made A modern fishing boat, isn’t it?”

Wooden sailing boats are not only widespread in Malaya, but also in Xiangjiang, not to mention other places in Southeast Asia. However, they have the responsibility to open up sales for the British shipbuilding industry, so this kind of backward fishing boats should be eliminated.

Of course, this is only a small aspect. The replacement of new fishing boats can also create oil demand. The increase in oil demand can lead to the development of many industries, such as machinery maintenance and oil refining.

Why is it a small aspect? If Malaya's industry develops well, it will have an inevitable consequence, that is, the manufacturing bases will have huge shipping capabilities, which is a good thing for the British shipbuilding industry. He is still looking forward to the emergence of several shipping kings in Malaya.

A few days later, Alan Wilson took the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost driven by his wife to a banquet to have a good time with these big compradors who were in the growing stage.

"In the short term, we don't have to consider the transfer of the automobile manufacturing industry, and the British automobile industry is mainly high-end cars. There are actually not many choices for low-end cars." Alan Wilson and Pamela Mountbatten talked about the issue of automobile transfer, But he believes that there is no rush now. The current industries in Malaya require high quality workers, but when it comes to the next stage, it is not something that illiterate people can handle.

"Land Rover and Sir William's Jaguar barely meet your definition of shifting industries. There are really not many other options." Pamela Mountbatten thought for a while and said helplessly, "I haven't investigated the automobile industry yet. I’ll ask London if I have time.”

Land Rover and Jaguar are actually considered luxury cars, but for the UK, there are too many luxury car brands.

It can be said that many British companies have luxury car brands. For Pamela Mountbatten's family, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, McLaren, and Aston Martin are the brands she often sees.

"If Malaya reaches the stage where it needs the automobile industry, it should be enough to make Land Rover and Jaguar high-end and Rover models to be economical." Alan Wilson knew that the Mountbatten family had a high vision, just like British luxury cars. The brand is the same, Land Rover and Jaguar are just low-end cars that touch the edge of high-end.

Therefore, there is no need to correct the difference between high-end in his wife's eyes and high-end in his own eyes.

But since Land Rover and Jaguar can even operate in India, there is nothing wrong with moving them to British Malaya to compete with Toyota and Honda.

Arriving at the banquet venue, everyone was together, a proper scene of collusion between imperialism and big compradors, such as these budding compradors, Alan Wilson remembered a few lyrics.

The emperor of the mines and railroads looked hideous on the altar. Besides plundering other people's labor, what else do they do? In the safes of these people are the fruits of labor...

"Master Zhongtang, how do you like the wine I gave you? Is it very effective?" Su Yang lowered his voice and asked mysteriously, not knowing that the foreign talisman in front of him did not meet the definition of what he eats to make up for it.

"I haven't drunk it yet!" Alan Wilson was stunned for a moment and replied with a smile, "I can't actually use that kind of thing at my age."

If it hadn't been for so many visits recently, Alan Wilson wouldn't have thought about maintenance at all. At his current age, he doesn't need to be like a classic car and just keep in good health.

The life of a London test driver has become a bit more frequent recently, but I can barely handle it without resorting to external help for the time being.

Besides, not all luxury cars require a test drive. For example, on this night, Alan Wilson just took out his wet guilty hands, leaving the panting His Highness to slowly reflect on it.

In one month at the beginning of the year, Alan Wilson settled the heads of all the major forces in Malaya, even the Indians. Compared with the two major ethnic groups, the Chinese and the Malays, the Indians were not a decisive factor. Strength, even so, Alan Wilson still treated him with courtesy.

It also ensures that the printing wave in Mauritius will not affect the security of Indians in Malaya. Of course, the printing wave in Mauritius is also related to him. Because India always has unrealistic ambitions for Goa, the local British commissioner united with the descendants of French immigrants and launched Mauritius's balancing strategy.

Not many people were repatriated. The fighting between the left and right made India aware of its power, and the British quickly controlled the situation of the printing wave.

The situation in Mauritius is more complicated. The second largest ethnic group is the descendants of the French, who have taken away the Indians. There is no guarantee that the French will not have any ideas. Compared with India, which is thousands of miles away, the threat from the French is still greater. .

At the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, the beauty with blond hair and sunglasses attracted the attention of many people. She quickly entered a waiting car, leaving people who had not seen enough.

"Vivian, you came to pick me up." Marilyn Monroe gave Vivien Leigh a hug in the car, greeting her with innate enthusiasm, and then looked through the car window and saw a giant poster of herself, and exclaimed, “I didn’t expect that my poster could be seen in this place I’ve never heard of.”

"How was the life of the labor force? Did it make the energetic soldiers extremely happy?" Vivien Leigh's smart eyes seemed to be able to speak, asking about Marilyn Monroe's labor process. He believed that this current American business card would definitely cause a stir in South Korea. caused a sensation.
