British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 297: still win-win

The relationship between the British Empire and the United States of America is still relatively chaotic.

The British Empire is not yet mentally prepared for the Americans to follow suit, and at the same time, the United States is indeed stronger than the British Empire.

There is a line in a movie that can describe this situation. I call you brother, you call me dad, and we have our own opinions.

For Alan Wilson, this big deal of hundreds of millions of dollars can be used as a step for the top boss in London to value. As for the benefits, it is a trivial matter. He is not prepared to charge much money from Derek.

But Alan Wilson can not accept it, and Derek must also give it. He doesn't need it now, but it doesn't mean that others don't need it. 0.5% of U.S. Steel's hard work will go to Vivien Leigh's career.

As for other ladies of the same status as wives, there were other arrangements, and three telegrams were delivered to London and Bonn successively.

Two of the three telegrams were identical, and the third was a final offer to the cabinet. Mysore iron ore was sold for US$106 million. Converted to pounds, it was close to 38 million.

However, U.S. Steel’s acquisition must be calculated in dollars. The post-war America is no longer the pre-war America. Of course, there are sterling reserves, but as a private company, U.S. Steel will definitely not be able to take out so many pounds.

But it just so happened that the British Empire also needed dollars to stabilize the value of the pound.

In the telegram to Pamela and the Dragoon sisters, Alan Wilson played the role of a whistleblower, laying bare the U.S. Steel merger and acquisition, bringing the news to the attention of female entrepreneurs in London and Bonn.

The U.S. stock market is already in a bull market. As long as there are no problems in the past few years, Mr. Chang will not invest American money in American stocks.

The heroes see the same thing. Alan Wilson is now using Derek's money to do Derek's business.

It seemed like a fair deal, but Alan Wilson felt that it could be a win-win situation. Once such a large acquisition is announced, it must be good news for U.S. Steel. Normally, U.S. Steel's stock will also be bullish.

At present, the news of the merger is only known to the senior executives in London and the major shareholders of U.S. Steel. It can also be regarded as a secret. Alan Wilson, who has always pursued both public and private, shared this secret with his family. It is normal...

Pamela Mountbatten also received a telegram of greetings from her sweetheart when the cabinet secretary's office was celebrating. In addition to her usual tenderness, Alan Wilson also mentioned that she has worked hard day and night recently and paid too much for the British Empire. To the United States Steel Corporation's acquisition of iron ore above.

Pamela Mountbatten stared at the numbers on the telegram and thought she had read it wrong. Her mother, Edwina Ashley, was born in a wealthy family. For ordinary people, Mountbatten's property was considered a It's an astronomical figure, but hundreds of millions of dollars are also an astronomical figure for Edwina Ashley.

"Mother, Alan asked me to give you this telegram." Pamela Mountbatten blushed and came to Edwina Ashley. It was a coincidence that General Mountbatten was at home today.

"I'll take a look." Edwina Ashley took the telegram, then glanced at her daughter, and knew why the little girl blushed. In addition to the business, the love words to Pamela Mountbatten and the business behind, All in the same telegram.

"I'll take a look." General Mountbatten came over and was pushed aside by Edwina Ashley. "Look at what, you are a soldier, there is no need to read the content of this telegram."

I don't need to know! Mountbatten was pushed aside by his wife, his nose was not his nose or his face was not a face, and he said in dissatisfaction, "I am the governor of British India, and everything in British India has to do with me."

"You haven't taken office yet." Edwina Ashley rolled her eyes at her husband and reminded her of the current reality.

Edwina Ashley kept nodding as she watched, to make money and to stand to make money, the best way is to have something to do with politics. There are people in the DPRK who are easy to do things, and the same is true in the British Empire.

Edwina Ashley, who has been paying close attention to the U.S. stock market in the past six months and has gained a lot, can of course understand what this news of hundreds of millions of dollars means to the steel industry.

Don't say that you are guaranteed, even if you are seeking wealth and wealth, it is worth fighting for once. Edwina Ashley is extremely satisfied with Ellen Wilson, her son-in-law, loyal to her daughter, and knows how to take care of her family.

The Gu family is definitely not an illusion, and Isabella Pokina agrees deeply, but because of the emphasis on education, the stock market is a little more complicated for her, although she has been making up classes recently.

On the other side of the living room, Anna was breastfeeding with a baby in her arms. She didn't care about Pokina's mainstay thinking, and she didn't pay attention to the baby in her arms. It would be bad if she choked on the baby.

"What do you think, Anna?" Isabella Podkina shook her short hair and looked at Anna who didn't hear anything outside the window. This scene made her very uncomfortable.

"I think what my sister said is fine. You are already higher than me." Anna showed a smile full of motherly love, looking at Pokina and said, "What are you worried about?"

"The stock market is risky, and I'm not good at it." Isabella Podina frowned slightly and said her distress.

"Then don't report this risky matter to the country." Anna lowered her head and finished looking at each other before continuing, "We take all risks by ourselves, no matter what the result is, it has nothing to do with the country. You don’t have to worry that once the loss is caused, the country will be held accountable.”

It seems to make sense, but Isabella Pokina frowned, "What if it can benefit the country."

"Sister, you said that the stock market is risky. If it is not a gain but a loss, how can we take responsibility." Anna has been holding the baby in her arms, and she can forget it herself. What should I do with the baby?

"Anna, you have to remember that we have a mission." Isabella Pokina couldn't help but remind her when she saw this scene.

"Yes, I still remember when I was in school, the instructor said to pay attention to concealment. If you want to spend a lot of money in China to go to places where Americans are good at, I don't think it will be successful." Anna was unmoved. "You don't think that after a few months of research, you can compete with the stock market in the United States that has been running for decades."

"That won't happen." Isabella Podkina sighed and gave up the idea. The stock market is an area that the Soviets are not good at, and the risks that Anna said exist.

Then take out the accumulation of the two of them currently under the name of the Hellman family and try it. It would be nice to help the motherland to make up for it in other areas.

Two funds from London and Bonn were invested in the US stock market. The amount may seem huge to ordinary people, but for the Morgan family, which is already in action, it is simply a small number that is not worth noting.

Compared with these short-sighted behaviors for self-interest, Cabinet Secretary Edward Bridges is very open-minded. Money is important, but the most important thing for an official is never money, but other things.

What's more, the well-trusted young progressive officials have already reserved their share for Edward Bridges. Waiting for Edward Bridges to cut the cake himself to share.

Compared with the huge sum of 1.06 million US dollars, Edward Bridges is really confused, whether money is more important, or the power to cut the cake is more important, even if he has worked for decades, for this The problem is still not fully understood.

But this happy trouble did not make Edward Bridges lose his mind. After going to the Prime Minister's residence to make a final report to Prime Minister Attlee, Prime Minister Attlee made a final decision and said that the ownership of the Mysore iron ore could be sold.

This is also the beginning of a prelude. Since the ownership of the Mysore iron ore can be sold, other industries can also be sold. Once the representatives of the United States Steel Corporation return to China, they may follow suit.

Derek has not left British India, because the reply letter from the headquarters in Pittsburgh has not come, Alan Wilson can't neglect this distinguished guest, so he made a decision to take Derek to watch Gandhi's speech, just recently Gandhi was calling for Unity of the Congress Party.

"There are so many Indians." After Derek and Alan Wilson arrived, they had an intuitive sense of the population size of the subcontinent, although he had always known this. But until he saw Gandhi's popularity, he didn't know that his previous understanding was still somewhat conservative, "Gandhi is so popular?"

"It must be said that ~lightnovelpub.net~ is absolutely true. In fact, he is also very famous in Europe." Alan Wilson introduced to Derek, "Gandhi has been to Europe several times, and also caused A lot of supporters followed."

Gandhi has been to Europe many times. Back then, Gandhi, who was walking on the street, dressed in the traditional attire of a British pre-war gentleman and wore a silk top hat, would not be interested in him. He did not have any unique attraction. .

Later Gandhi, full of legends, was full of legends, and his anecdotes were spread everywhere. The situation was completely opposite to the past. People are talking about him, the press is paying attention to him, including his speech, including his demeanor.

After that, Gandhi made a parade visit to France, Italy, and Switzerland. Everywhere he went, thousands of local people warmly welcomed him, vying to witness this mythical figure with their own eyes.

Especially in Paris, where the crowds blocked the roads, Gandhi had to stand in a luggage cart and address the crowd that welcomed him.

Regarding the fundamentals of the old revolutionary base, Alan Wilson did not comment, but he said with a thought, "Mr. Derek, why don't you invite Gandhi to the United States? Now in the subcontinent, the United States also has interests."
