Chapter 790 The Chief’s Remarks

"Got it!" Pamela Mountbatten muttered while holding the phone, then put down the phone and said to her husband who had just arrived home. "It was the Labor Party that won the election, but the victory was not easy. Before the results in Wales came out, The Conservatives and Labor are evenly matched."

"Oh, the result is not bad at last!" Alan Wilson said as he took off his clothes, "I believe Attlee also broke out in a cold sweat."

It is not that the British parties have no basic base, but unlike the large number of iron-clad votes of the Democratic and Republican parties in the United States, the role of the basic base is limited. Relatively speaking, the Labor Party has a comparative advantage in Scotland and Wales. As for England, which is in a melee with the Conservative Party, only the East End of London is considered very stable in the last two elections.

This is what happens in an electoral country. It is actually very difficult to be in power for three consecutive terms. Once a party has been in power for a long time. Voters have a desire for a change. The biggest difficulty facing the current Labor Party is that after two governments, many voters have become bored.

This desire to change people, coupled with the fact that the Conservative Party has entered the post-Churchill era, makes this election a fierce one. Without the senile Churchill, Eden showed a lot of enthusiasm for voting.

"I wonder if Aiden is disappointed." Pamela Mountbatten was half lying on the sofa, teasing with a nonchalant attitude.

"It shouldn't be the case. This time it was really a little bit worse. The Labor Party barely won." Alan Wilson shrugged. "Of course this also proves one thing. Attlee is really more popular than Churchill."

"You are happy anyway!" Pamela Mountbatten knew that her husband wanted the Labor Party to be in power.

In fact, Alan Wilson's second term has already begun, and the election will not have an impact on his career as commissioner.

After a while, as the couple ate and chatted, Labor's victory suggested that current policies would not change much. The attitude towards the colonies was still to do everything possible to maintain them by means other than war.

"Africa is generally safe, but the danger is still the British colony of Malaya. The enemies here are relatively strong." Alan Wilson knew this well. "In many ways, from the three major alliances of the Near East, the Middle East and the Far East, The arrangement of combat commands already clearly understands the local thinking. If Africa is important, Africa Command will be established."

Pamela Mountbatten nodded, and after finishing the meal, she put away the tableware and said, "I have already met people from the Schweizer family and the Keswick family. The four major families want to cooperate. They all have a place in the Xiangjiang Administration Bureau. I feel good."

"I also think it's good. Personal relations with the Hong Kong Governor are certainly an aspect of harmony, but bundling interests is more effective." Alan Wilson tidied up with his wife, "In this way, you can strengthen your strength and make things easier in the future. But one day, they will know that the four major families actually take advantage."

Cooperation with the four major families in Hong Kong can suddenly supplement the many shortcomings of the Mountbatten Group. Although my wife’s business is currently developing smoothly and rapidly,

No financial help is needed at all.

However, several established financial groups in the Far East have been developing for hundreds of years, and the accumulation in many fields is what the Mountbatten Group needs. Now that cooperation has been confirmed, the Mountbatten Group can save a lot of time.

This was also beneficial to British Malaya. The leading upstream sugar producer in Malaya was the Swire family. The Schweizer family was already the world's number one sugar refinery seventy years ago and also operates an extensive marine business. The four major families occupy a large share of Far East Shipping, and this alone cannot be ignored.

They have gotten to where they are today purely by relying on hundreds of years of accumulation. As for Pamela Mountbatten, it was entirely because of indescribable factors that soared to the sky. Even York Kidston Swire, who came to Malaya, was very concerned about a few people. I am surprised that such a powerful group has emerged in just 20 years. I deeply feel that Sverya’s business has gone to nowhere after a hundred years of operation.

In the eyes of these families, the Mountbatten Group seemed to appear out of thin air, and was not noticed at first. They thought it was just a little girl who didn't know the heights of the world, relying on the connections of the nobles to dream of unrealistic business dreams.

And then, under the eyes of several established companies, they suddenly became a neck-to-neck group. Before they could adapt, the Mountbatten Group surpassed them without stopping.

Being caught up or even surpassed so quickly, even the Schweizer family, which has always been very conservative in business, cannot calm down.

In the past, in the eyes of the Schweizer family, the Mountbatten Group was just the product of a group of aristocratic children playing around.

But now that these powerful aristocratic children suddenly have such expanded financial resources, they have to pay attention to them, which leads to this active contact.

To York Kidston Swire's surprise, the wealthy and powerful Pamela Mountbatten seemed to be very obedient to her husband, and even flattered her greatly.

York Kidston Schweizer was surprised. Although a colonial official had a high status, he didn't need to be like this, right? Pamela Mountbatten's father is the Commander of the Grand Fleet, and she is so rich, shouldn't it be the other way around?

"My husband, the High Commissioner of Malaya." Pamela Mountbatten pointed at Alan Wilson, who was holding her daughter and coaxing her, and introduced to the visiting York Kidston Schweizer and Ike Keswick. .

Both of them nodded and looked at Alan Wilson with a dull look. Both of them were members of the Hong Kong Administrative Bureau. They were just like this when they saw the Hong Kong Governor, and they just opened their mouths to say something.

Pamela Mountbatten called her husband over, and the two of them suppressed their words and could only say some words about the great relationship between the couple.

Alan Wilson, the nanny, could only come and sit down, nodding at the two guests and reminding them, "We are all gentlemen, and my daughter is still young. It will be fine if you control the volume of your words."

"The commissioner also has research on parenting?" Ike Keswick couldn't help but joked when he saw how proficient the imperial commissioner was.

"Practice makes perfect!" Alan Wilson raised his head and told the truth. After all, we have too many children, and more exposure will always give us some experience. Then the conversation changed, "Two gentlemen, do you think I am not qualified to sit here and listen to business?" Are the giants showing favor to each other?”

York Kidston Schweizer and Ike Keswick shook their heads at the same time. Although they didn't know why, everyone could see that the boss of the Mountbatten Group obeyed his husband's words. They were not blind.

"I am the deputy secretary-general of the Overseas Assets Management Committee, and I control 3.5 billion pounds of national assets overseas. Although the money is not mine." Alan Wilson said calmly, and then said, "You can do whatever you want. , I can just listen to it casually.”

Pamela Mountbatten has expressed her agreement with practical actions, saying directly, "My husband has always respected British businessmen who work overseas, but we have not had much business dealings, and we have not had in-depth cooperation before. In fact, the Mountbatten Group has many shareholders and has innumerable contacts with you, so you are not too unfamiliar with it."

"Dear Madam, this is what we want to say. The problem now is that we have encountered difficulties in our operations. In fact, when doing business in the Far East, our most promising headquarters location in principle is Shanghai, but the current environment is worrying. "The Keswick family has had a lot of controversy because of this." Ike Keswick immediately said, "Some radical members even believe that Xiangjiang should be evacuated from the Far East. Xiangjiang is not very reliable."

"This kind of statement is really radical." Alan Wilson chuckled after hearing this, "But I agree that we should withdraw from the mainland immediately, but from Xiangjiang? This is a very courageous decision."

Anyway, history has proven that none of the four major families have left, especially the Swire Group controlled by the two families in front of them. Jardine Matheson Group did not leave the UK even in Hong Kong.

These two groups were no less powerful than the Li family in Xiangjiang, but they were not mentioned.

Long before the two came, the couple had already discussed that overseas British-funded groups should unite, but there was also the question of who listened to whom, and there was only one outcome. In terms of current wealth, the Mountbatten Group was better than The four major families are powerful together, and this is just the beginning.

The help of the four major families can save the development time of the Mountbatten Group. If the four major families do not help, the result will still be the same. The Mountbatten Group, supported by the collective support of the British nobles, will still surpass the four major families like a rocket.

An hour later, York Kidston Schweizer and Ike Keswick left politely. Before leaving, they said they would contact their families before they could give them a final answer.

Alan Wilson, who had already carried his daughter upstairs, pushed the cradle and listened to Pamela Mountbatten talk about the negotiation process, "After all, it is a company that has been operating for a hundred years and still wants to maintain its independence. I said Mountbatten Group will not Annexing their groups, but some shareholders of the groups may want to move into their companies. They said they should think about it carefully."

"Those aristocratic shareholders should also get some benefits. Your company can't be the only one reaping the benefits, right?" Alan Wilson chuckled. "Otherwise, they have no value and can't help with anything. They just provide the money they have accumulated over the past hundred years." Channel, just talk about cooperation?”

Finally, Alan Wilson ended with two sentences in Chinese: "Insatiable and full of farts."

"What are you talking about?" Pamela Mountbatten frowned slightly and said as if she wanted an explanation, "You're not talking about me, you can't talk about your wife. Don't say anything you don't understand in front of me in the future. "

"How could I say that to you?" Alan Wilson smiled bitterly and said absently, "I'd like to thank you."
