Chapter 839 2 Sets of Development Strategies
Latest website: "Then this time, as a public official, I will help you communicate with the Australian government." Alan Wilson expressed his position. Although it seems inappropriate to say it, what can be done? Maybe this is life.
"Who are you going to help if you don't help me?" Pamela Mountbatten glanced at the big hand close to her chest and said in a sinister tone.
Then things will be simple, call Comet 1, and the family of three plus Her Royal Highness head to Australia.
After the Comet was launched, it is no longer the same as the earlier version. The improvements are mainly to increase the number of passengers and use mature technology to spread the cost. The embassies and high commissioners of the major colonies and Commonwealth countries each assigned tasks to increase the market share of the Comet passenger aircraft.
So far, the Comet airliner has not experienced any crashes in history, and its sales have also increased significantly compared with the same period in history.
At the meeting of the Overseas Assets Management Committee, Alan Wilson turned into a salesman and stated that he would promote Comet 1 in major colonies to replace the resources of the colonies.
The Comet airliner has become Britain's main tool for exploiting the colonies. As long as de Havilland's production line can keep up, he and his colleagues can ensure that it can be sold and seize as many units as possible before the Boeing airliner is interviewed. Market share.
There are now more than 500 Comet airliners of various types in operation all over the world. Comet airliners have also appeared in former colonies such as Australia, Canada, and India, but are now independent countries.
In terms of the promotion of the Comet airliner, this is not the first time that Alan Wilson has used a public aircraft for private use.
Malayan Airways has replaced all its routes with Comet passenger aircraft. He also hopes that colleagues from all over the world will follow suit and quickly fill up the local market in influential places in the UK before the emergence of Boeing passenger planes.
There is no rush, because the Boeing 707 passenger aircraft has been developed, but it has not yet entered commercial operation.
Once the reliability is confirmed, the Washington government will definitely promote the use of Boeing airliners.
The Comet's rivals have already appeared. For the Comet, the advantage is that the Comet has been commercialized for several years and has sold more than 500 passenger aircraft, which has proven its reliability. In the current aviation market, the market share of Comet aircraft is almost 100%.
The current Comet airliner has shared the cost through the passenger aircraft sold, and the Boeing airliner has not yet entered commercialization, so the cost will definitely not be reduced at the beginning, but this is not insurmountable.
The U.S. government will definitely use its national power to help.
"It's still early to talk about this, but Boeing's new passenger plane will definitely get support from Washington. Since the launch of the Comet passenger plane, major U.S. airlines have not even had the intention to purchase it. An airline can understand, and every company is like this. He must have been greeted.”
On their family plane, Alan Wilson and his wife talked about the Boeing airliner that might become a competitor to the Comet airliner.
"So what should I do? Is there any way to deal with it?" Pamela Mountbatten looked like a curious baby and asked her husband to clarify her doubts.
"The aviation industry is extremely important to the country. If the UK's strength declines again, it will definitely affect the aviation industry. So we still hope that our country can stop the decline. This is more effective than anything else. The good news is that now the UK does not have to owe money and Americans are a head shorter when they talk."
The couple enjoyed the pleasure of having sex, and the only thing they could do was bother the princess to take care of their daughter as their aunt. It seems good so far, Her Royal Highness the Princess does not reject this kind of role.
After passing through Dubai and Colombo, Comet 1 landed in Perth, the capital of Western Australia. This has been the first choice for British immigrants in recent years. There is no way to say it is the first choice. Western Australia as a whole occupies one-third of Australia's area, which is no better than India. For a much smaller place, it can only be managed near Perth.
In terms of climate, Australia as a whole is not a good place, but the area around Perth is pretty good. At least the climate is stable, and there is no need to worry about the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. It can be regarded as a weakened version of Punjab, India.
In many places, a stable climate is the biggest advantage. This is the case in Perth and Punjab. Compared with the changeable climate, at least the people here can enjoy some good basic conditions.
There are not many places in Australia that can be used to develop agriculture. Of the 7.6 million square kilometers of land, less than 500,000 are used for agricultural purposes, including one near Perth.
Compared with the three major cities in Australia in the southeast corner that have been developed for a long time, Perth has long been considered a little transparent.
But with the discovery of iron ore in Western Australia, Western Australia's status has risen, and its political status and financial strength have increased.
The advantage of the rising star is that Perth has not yet been over-developed, and many of the lessons of the east coast can be avoided in Perth. When the president of the Mountbatten Group and the royal princess arrived in Perth, Governor Ross McLarty immediately appeared and expressed his concern for the local development. The distinguished guests expressed their welcome.
After expressing respect to the President of the Mountbatten Group and Her Royal Highness the Princess, it was the turn of the son-in-law, "Mr. Wilson, welcome to Western Australia. Do you think there is anything that needs to be strengthened here?"
"Education can also be added. If I have the ability, I will try to let Oxford and Cambridge help develop education in Western Australia." Alan Wilson responded kindly, "In fact, based on the current conditions in Western Australia, becoming It is only a matter of time before Australia becomes the richest place. When it becomes a developed place, the relevant conditions must keep up."
In very thoughtful words, Alan Wilson expressed his intention to use the education industry to cut leeks in Western Australia. As long as the tricks are relatively old and effective, Western Australia fully has this condition.
"Mr. Wilson is optimistic about the development here. It's really gratifying." Ross McLarty was very happy. After the various minerals contained in Western Australia were discovered one by one by the Mountbatten Group's major exploration teams, the financial revenue has skyrocketed. Western Australia has changed its previous look up to the east coast.
With money in hand, the Western Australian government has more ideas and is determined to build Perth into a city larger than the one on the east coast.
Alan Wilson understands this psychology very well, and the source of many regional conflicts lies in comparison. In the past, there was a clear gap between Western Australia and the East Coast. At that time, people on the East Coast did not look down on other places, nor did they value them very much.
In later generations, Western Australia was already the richest state in Australia, and there were faint voices of dissatisfaction with the Australian government.
This is normal, the whole of Australia is built on the sale of Western Australian iron ore, but the poor people on the east coast always point fingers at Western Australia, so they are tired of it.
There are so many such things, and the Magic City always feels that the Imperial City has too much control, which is quite similar to the current psychology of Western Australia. The difference is nothing more than that one stands in a favorable location and the other occupies resources. The foundation is different.
"What do you think?" Pamela Mountbatten asked her husband what he thought of Ross McLarty's attitude.
"Yes, the necessary detachment in Western Australia will help maintain British influence in Australia. We don't necessarily have to dictate to Australia, but some necessary contradictions will help make things simpler." Alan Wilson smiled Quite happy.
"But it seems that Rose McLarty is still very proud of herself." Princess Margaret also said.
"That's how people are. It's God's fault that they're not doing well, but it's the result of my personal efforts that things are getting better. It's so normal!" Alan Wilson chuckled and sneered, "It's just a place that sells resources. I really think I'm so great. ? Throwing all the people here into the inland desert, they can still develop so well. Besides, it’s not too late to say they are great."
Several people decided to rest in Perth for a few days, mainly the domineering female president and Her Royal Highness the Princess, who needed to do something friendly to the people.
As for Alan Wilson, he also has tasks. The first is to take care of the children, and the other is to plan the development of the British Malayan Colony. Now that the stage of laying the foundation has passed, the future development of the Malayan Colony must be carefully planned. It takes a while.
Alan Wilson began developing development plans for an unrelated place in Western Australia's capital city.
From the memory of the past life, the development ideas of the provinces of a certain big country are nothing more than two. In the early stages of opening up, there was no plan, and working along the coast was the way out. But as time passed, provinces began to come to their senses and try to formulate development routes.
The fundamental reason is that not having a development path will result in the loss of local talent. There are generally two main plans, one is the wolf pack tactic, and the other is the strategy of strengthening the provincial capital.
Not all plans at the beginning are completely suitable. For example, Jiangsu and Shandong started with wolf pack tactics, but Jiangsu was fine, but Shandong was not very successful. It has changed its strategy to become a strong provincial capital.
The main purpose of strengthening the provincial capital is to prevent the outflow of local talents. If the basic conditions are not so good, the province's efforts will be used to focus on the development of the provincial capital and lock in the trend of brain outflow.
The strategy of strengthening the provincial capital in the southwest was implemented relatively early, but was soon followed by other provinces. After all, most places in Jiangsu did not have the objective conditions, and even Shandong turned to it.
Alan Wilson believes that West Malaysia can use wolf pack tactics. Penang, Malacca, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore can develop simultaneously, but East Malaysia cannot follow suit. In East Malaysia, Sarawak and Sabah can only choose the strategy of strengthening provincial capitals. .
The population of East Malaysia is only one-fifth of the entire Malayan colony. It is already good to be able to build two core cities. It is simply too much to want to keep pace with West Malaysia.
"Looking at it this way, my second term is not yet dry." Alan Wilson looked at the two-legged walking plan that had just been completed. By the time his term as Imperial Commissioner ended, the Prime Minister would not know how to govern the country.
