British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 415: The diligent governor

Such an extreme good thing has instead made several families in Boston suspicious, and sent senior manager Smith Hammer to personally come to Newfoundland to see if it is true.

"Actually, Mr. Smith doesn't come here at all. I am also the consul of the Boston consulate. You can find the British consulate and ask them to contact me. You don't have to come here in person. You can see how tired you are. It's really hard work."

Alan Wilson began to change his face with classic traditional skills, and almost instantly forgot his identity as a civil servant in the British Empire, as if he was the senior manager of the Boston consortium, directly occupying the opposite position.

Although the Boston consortium ranks first among American consortiums, it is constantly surpassed by latecomers. Whether it is Morgan or Rockefeller, they are all rising stars in front of the Boston consortium that started out with the slave triangle trade.

The development of the entire Boston consortium can always be described as calm. Later, when Kennedy came to power, the Boston consortium thought it could restore the glory of the Lawrence era, but Kennedy was assassinated.

It can only be said that the earliest consortium in the United States was ill-fated. With this mentality, Alan Wilson answered all the questions of Smith Hammer with a sympathetic attitude.

"Mr. Allen's actions are very courageous." Smith Hammer sighed sincerely after listening.

"If I could describe it in another word, I would feel better." Alan Wilson said to himself that fortunately he was not a politician, otherwise he would not have dared to be such a bold compliment.

Smith Hammer personally came to Newfoundland, and also wanted to put himself in the shoes of this growing tax haven and see if Newfoundland has a bright future.

Hearing that there are Chinese workers working on the island, Smith Hammer said in surprise, "Mr. Allen is not afraid of these Chinese workers."

"Don't be afraid, once the winter in Newfoundland comes, it will have the same effect as a vacuum cleaner." Alan Wilson laughed, he answered Smith Hammer's concern, and even expressed that there is no such danger from the perspective of the worst outcome.

Do you know why the effect of guerrilla warfare in the Northeast is far less than that of Guannei? This is the role of the weather. If you really hide in the deep mountains and old forests to resist, the temperature in winter can solve most of the problems.

In front of Smith Hammer, Alan Wilson mentioned the idea of ​​Newfoundland's economic transformation, "Listening to Mr. Joy, Newfoundland has had a lot of guests recently, and it seems that they all have the same purpose as Mr. Smith. Sharp."

"This kind of thing involves money, how can someone with a heart not be sensitive?" Smith Hammer sighed sincerely, looking at what you said, "Who would object to more and more money?"

"This is indeed the opinion of the vast majority of people." Alan Wilson nodded seriously. As for the financial knowledge Smith Hammer asked about, this touched his knowledge blind spot. Although he claimed to know everything, he only knew about it. On the surface, it is a bit embarrassing in front of professionals.

But Alan Wilson didn't understand it, but Smith Hammer was satisfied because he understood. Taking the Boston consortium as an example, he learned that Newfoundland only needs to pay a management fee of fifty pounds a year, which can completely talk about its different industries. Set up an equal number of branches in Newfoundland.

These branches own the vast majority of the Boston consortium's assets. The Boston consortium does not need to have any institutions in Newfoundland, and these subsidiaries have nothing to do with Boston's main business.

By packaging these Newfoundland-based subsidiaries as legal entities with "commercial substance" and employing very few "core people" to undertake "high value-added" business activities such as equity investments, a consortium like Boston can proudly put most of the The profit generated and accumulated from the main business is transferred to achieve the purpose of tax avoidance.

All in all, Smith Hammer was very satisfied with this visit and felt that it was a worthwhile trip to Newfoundland.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Smith, is there any food processing industry in Boston's main business?" Although Alan Wilson didn't know any advanced financial knowledge, he could see that the other party was very satisfied.

From this point of view, Alan Wilson can also say that he has no moves to win, so he will strike the advantages of the Boston consortium while the iron is hot to see if they can achieve complementary advantages.

"Mr. Allen is really asking the right person." Smith Hammer said in a self-sufficient way, "Boston can be said to be one of the main centers of the food processing industry in the United States. We can't say that it has a monopoly on the market, but it has extremely special characteristics in food processing. position."

Smith Hammer also pointed out that the opinion of the Boston consortium is very important for the harvest of local fishermen in Newfoundland to enter the US market. After all, the two places can be considered not far away, and many products are considered to overlap.

"Then it seems that Newfoundland should have a better relationship with Boston." Alan Wilson made a sudden realization, and said with compliments, "If the two sides cooperate, they can supplement to a certain extent. Newfoundland's high-quality seafood , if you can get help from Boston, you can go to the dinner table of thousands of American citizens.”

"Yes!" Smith Hammer responded positively. "It makes the fishermen of Newfoundland richer and strengthens Boston's voice in the food processing industry."

"After all, the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States is here. To help Boston is to help Newfoundland." Alan Wilson praised.

He has now discovered the value of Smith Hammer. After all, he hopes that Newfoundland will take off right now. In particular, fishing has always been a traditional project in Newfoundland. It should continue to be carried forward. The take-off is of great significance.

In this case, Alan Wilson is willing to try any means that can make money, he just hopes to make achievements quickly, no matter whether the money is noble or despicable.

And is it despicable to let the Boston consortium help? He doesn't think so, on the contrary, it will benefit the fishermen of Newfoundland and make his work in Newfoundland even more glorious.

Smith Hammer is also happy, because it is also good for the Boston consortium, with the support of the Newfoundland fishery. In seafood, Boston's advantages will be even greater, and its influence on the food market will also increase.

The charm of trade comes from this, and learning from each other's strengths is the meaning of trade.

There is a common foundation to join forces, so naturally there is nothing to oppose. As the chief executive of Newfoundland, Alan Wilson negotiated with the Boston food processing industry giant to benefit the Newfoundland fishermen. News spread like wildfire, in fact, he released it himself. out.

It doesn't matter whether they released it or not, the important thing is that the fishermen of Newfoundland are very much looking forward to it. With the status of a colony, Newfoundland fishermen are of course free to do business with all parties, including Canada, Europe, and the United States. It's just that individuals lack bargaining power.

Fortunately, the Newfoundland fishing grounds are rich in resources, so that everyone can live a good life, but if it can be higher, who will object?

However, unlike the smooth sailing that the Newfoundland fishermen expected, Alan Wilson and Smith Hammer disagreed on the specific approach. Alan Wilson advocated controlling production and maintaining prices, while Smith Hammer wanted to increase production.

Alan Wilson knew that the Newfoundland fishing grounds in later generations had been exhausted, and the cod was even more difficult to find. The entire fishing ground had been supported by Arctic shrimp and sea crabs. With this future waiting, he certainly couldn't choose a similar path.

Smith Hamer believes that it is necessary to increase production if necessary. Newfoundland's unique and rich fisheries can be used to research and overwhelm competitors. Then the rest of the market is not the Boston consortium? And the Newfoundland fishermen’s…

It sounds very reasonable, just like the Samsung Group in the future, all kinds of reverse operations, the more there is no profit, the more production is increased, the more competitors are squeezed out, and the market is monopolized and prices are raised. It sounds very reasonable. .

But Alan Wilson knows that anything can be planned except food. Moreover, fishery resources cannot be compared with industrial products, and there is no added value at all.

Unless it is like caviar, the fish is first made to the point of extinction, and the remaining small area of ​​production, and then the caviar is made into a luxury, but this is a repeat of the future destruction of Newfoundland's fishing grounds, and he cannot accept it.

"Dear Mr. Smith, let's put food processing aside first. After all, I am a civil servant, and you are a financial manager. We are talking about things that we are not good at." Alan Wilson took the initiative to turn off the flame and said two The issues that people argue have nothing to do with their profession.

"Right, right~lightnovelpub.net~ Several families should send real food managers, not me, a financial manager." Smith Hammer patted his forehead and smiled shyly, " It's actually talking about fish!"

"If Mr. Smith thinks there is no problem, he can handle it now, or ask for instructions in the country." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "It happens that I have time these days, and I will handle it myself as a salesman."

"The chief executive of Newfoundland does it himself? Then I'm really honored." Smith Hammer nodded. Although the two had occasional arguments, they got along pretty well in the past few days. He immediately said that he would set up a few branches. Several families in Boston have agreed.

In this way, Alan Wilson charged a fee of seven hundred dollars, and five more companies were affiliated in Newfoundland.

Although it has only been a short time since he issued the executive order, it has brought more than $30,000 in income to Newfoundland. It is believed that this accumulation will increase over time, and the tax haven plan has achieved initial results.

While the tax haven plan is beginning to bear fruit, the production of timber in the Humber River has not stopped for a moment. Now he is still discussing the development of fisheries with the Boston consortium, which is simply Newfoundland's version of three-ring diplomacy.
