The maritime industry represented by the shipbuilding industry is an important part of the British economy: the British maritime-related industries contribute 13 billion pounds to the economy, of which the shipbuilding and maintenance industries contribute nearly 2 billion pounds, and the number of direct employees reaches Ninety thousand people.

The demand of the shipbuilding industry mainly comes from international shipping, which is closely related to world economic growth and maritime trade.

As an island country, once the shipbuilding industry declines, it means that Britain is dispensable in the world economy. Britain and Alan Wilson himself wanted to save the shipbuilding industry as a matter of course.

The Ship and Transportation Committee currently has another important task, which is to rely on the accumulation of the British shipbuilding industry. Construct patent barriers to deal with the threat of Japanese shipbuilding industry.

At the meeting on saving the shipbuilding industry, Alan Wilson attributed the threat of Japan to the indulgence of the United States. The Americans have nothing to lose in their own shipbuilding industry, so they borrow Japan, which has even lower human rights, to disintegrate British dominance in shipbuilding.

The urgent task is to adjust to the weak areas of the Japanese shipbuilding industry, container ships and oil tankers. At the same time, find ways to reduce costs, and let France and Germany stand on the side of the United Kingdom within the framework of the European Community.

The East End of London is close to the North Sea. Although it is not as good as several major shipyards, there are also some civilian shipyards. The first batch of interns in Malaya are going to be placed there.

The key is a few old shipyards. Even if Alan Wilson interferes, these shipyards may not necessarily listen to Alan Wilson. On the contrary, some small shipyards are easier to adjust, and they will not rely on seniority and connections. The guidance of the office is positive and negative.

Whitehall is an expert in yin and yang, and has often done this to the cabinet. Since Whitehall can do this, there is no reason why lower interest groups will not do this to Whitehall.

Excluding the option of revolution, incremental improvement starts from small aspects, and it is unwise to move a few large shipyards.

And now small shipyards are indeed more difficult than large shipyards, and they are also the first to be rescued.

"The machinery should be updated, and the efficiency should be improved. According to our survey, the Japanese shipbuilding industry is now twice as efficient as the British shipbuilding industry. This is of course related to the low human rights advantage, but should we work harder? Regarding the aging of machinery, we It can be solved through loans and updated equipment, the Japanese are hardworking, and we have rich management and accumulated experience.”

British shipyards are recognized globally as being able to provide one of the most comprehensive and cutting-edge services.

Comprehensive repair and service facilities for almost all types of seagoing vessels and offshore installations. British companies are also adept at providing ultra-fast responsive solutions to maintenance issues in countries around the world.

This configuration is here, there is no reason why it can't fight the Japanese. Isn't someone coming now to reduce the cost?

When Alan Wilson arrived at the shipyard, he met the owner of the medium-sized shipyard directly and asked about the accommodation of the interns.

"Once we get good results from here, several shipyards on the south coast, as well as Glasgow in Scotland, will all benefit from it. I hope we will not be disappointed."

The distribution of the shipbuilding industry in the UK is very interesting. In terms of proportion, several cities in Southampton, it can be said that the cities in England occupy the largest share. But from a single city, Glasgow in Scotland is the real shipbuilding center of the UK.

Along the banks of the Clyde River, there are dozens of shipyards. The main industrial sectors include shipbuilding, machine manufacturing, electrical equipment, precision instruments, etc. Among them, the shipbuilding industry ranks first in the country, and there are dozens of shipyards.

The so-called saving the British shipbuilding industry, the problems of several port cities in the English Channel are not big, but if there is a problem in Glasgow, which really relies on the shipbuilding industry, it will be in big trouble. Saving shipbuilding also helps the balance between England and Scotland.

Being in the same country, it is better for the two sides to have different divisions of labor economically. Long-term neglect of Scotland's interests may also be harmful to Britain itself. Glasgow's manufacturing industry is the city's central industry, and the shipbuilding industry on the Clyde River is the most important.

At present, Glasgow is governed by the Labor Party. Of course, the Great East End of London is also the same. The places that rely on manufacturing are generally the same. Alan Wilson did not show negligence because of the small scale of the shipyard he visited.

Rather, it was very pleasant, talking about the country's help in the shipbuilding industry, and clarifying what rights these assigned interns should have.

"Are all the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs so versatile now?" Granville couldn't help but sigh, he was a little confused about the shipbuilding industry, and he could still attract the attention of the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"I am the Secretary-General of the newly established Shipping and Transportation Committee. As for the interns who come here for internship, I was the High Commissioner of Malaya before. In essence, they used to be residents under my management, so I don't want to have similar racial conflicts. I have had a very harmonious cooperation with the Chinese before, and I know the nature of the Chinese workers. If they are hardworking and willing to work hard, they will not cause trouble. Once there is a racial incident, I will investigate it myself."

"By the way, I'm still the secretary-general of the Joint Intelligence Committee. It's easy for me to initiate an investigation into one matter."

Alan Wilson's tone was calm, and he was not threatening anything. There was no possibility of favoring the Chinese. If something happened, he would naturally deal with the conflict impartially, and whoever caused the trouble would pay the price.

The shipyard is named after Granville, and it is obviously a family business. It can be seen when entering the factory area that the current operating state is not good, and the entire factory building is empty. If you pretend to be dead regardless, a shipyard of this size should be the first to close down.

It was precisely because of the poor situation that Alan Wilson chose to start here, and it might be easier to achieve results.

There are four other shipyards of similar size near the shipyard. This is the entire shipbuilding industry in the East End of London. These shipyards will divide up 700 interns, including several bosses of Granville, who are now in Allen Wilson's side.

"Switch to English and Chinese slogans, what about safety production, don't you understand? It doesn't matter, I compiled the English-Chinese dictionary, and I will translate it for you." Alan Wilson wandered around, still paying attention to some details.

After a while, Alan Wilson sat down with several shipyard owners and waited for the arrival of the first batch of interns.

It's time to beat and beat, and support policies have been mentioned. Now you can imagine how to get closer to the migrant workers.

Several people in Granville were quite curious about Alan Wilson's work history and asked about the local customs of Malaya.

Alan Wilson told the truth that it is uncertain whether saving the shipbuilding industry will be effective now. Even if it is effective, there is a high probability that it will only delay the decline of the shipbuilding industry. Maybe one day, at least part of the shipbuilding industry will be relocated to Malaya. .

He is also happy to introduce the local situation in Malaya in front of these shipyard owners. Take the current industrial layout as an example, the automobile production line is located in Malacca, and Singapore is still an oil refining center. Kuala Lumpur is a special case as the capital, and Penang actually lacks a good industry to drive its development.

"Except for the somewhat conservative social environment, the local area is pretty good in other aspects." Alan Wilson told the truth.

"If we have time, we are willing to go to the local area to investigate." Granville said with a very interested look.

"That's really good news. In fact, as long as they treat each other as equals, there is no danger. The local position in the cabinet is extremely important, much more important than the original British India." Alan Wilson spoke, followed by a car As soon as a bus enters the factory, he knows that these interns who have undergone vocational training have arrived.

"Welcome to London, my friends." Alan Wilson switched to Chinese and greeted the densely packed Asian faces. The team was a little scattered, but generally kept quiet, which was a sense of order.

"Hello, Mr. Zhongtang!" The visitors obviously knew in advance that the former Chief Executive of Malaya was in front of him, and he directly responded to Alan Wilson's greetings.

"It's a very memorable title, thank you." When dealing with different groups, if you have nothing to say, just start with the profound and profound local culture. Alan Wilson has sufficient experience working abroad, which is not a problem for him.

The speech was full of humility, not only proud of the British Empire, but also recognized the high-quality characteristics of the Chinese community, "Ten years ago ~lightnovelpub.net~ I also took your parents to work in Newfoundland. But at that time The work is far less technical than it is now, the entire internship period is two years, how much work experience you can accumulate is up to you, I hope you can go back after two years with an understanding of the entire shipbuilding industry.”

Mr. Zhongtang, whom the interns talked about, was not polite at all. He poured chicken soup when he came up, and used a bright future to cover up the embarrassing fact that the interns were only one-third of the British local workers.

Otherwise, why is the internship period two years? Two years is an affordable price for a young man. But it won't work if the time is prolonged. After all, chicken soup is just chicken soup and cannot be used as real money.

That is to say, these student interns who have just left school still have dreams, and it is not easy to fool around with a period of social work experience.

"Dear bosses, go ahead and sign the contract. If there is an industrial accident, I will deal with it fairly." Finally, he made clear the bottom line to several shipyard bosses, and Alan Wilson was about to leave, "The Shipping and Transportation Committee will send someone to you Supervise shipyards, protect workers' human rights, and assess whether the environment in which shipyards operate has improved."

Several people in Granville were full of solemn assurances, expressing that they would treat the new blood of the shipbuilding industry well.
