Chapter 1109 – Throwing Stones

Alan Wilson believed that his own existence was as selfless as the sun, radiating light and heat. Not only should Britain be thankful for his existence, but quite a few countries in Europe should be thankful for him.

Husband and wife have rarely traveled together in recent years, and they both cherish the opportunity to do so. They put aside all trivial matters and relaxed as much as possible, experiencing the sunny beaches of Malaya, which is located in the tropics.

The two were caught in the crowd, re-crossing the Kuala Lumpur boulevard. Alan Wilson has always been accustomed to put himself into his wife’s heart, the two do not talk about the international situation. Talking about that was not as confident as talking to a stranger.

It made Pamela Mountbatten happy, as if she were back in the days of British India, with each other in her eyes.

“It’s been a long time since I felt like this.” Pamela Mountbatten looked lovingly at her husband and told what she was thinking now.

“To make you feel happy, this time was not in vain.” Taking his wife’s hand, Alan Wilson agreed with his wife, “Life is too short to always have a string to pull.”

It is often said that the date of death is uncertain, but this statement has practically fixed the time of death in a hazy and distant range, not assuming that it is somehow connected with the beginning of the day, and sticking to the walks in anticipation of a satisfactory pallor afterwards.

Typically, Alan Wilson’s affection for his wife is reflected in helping Pamela Mountbatten make money.

Admittedly that’s a good way to quantify it, but it’s not very effective anymore for the position Pamela Mountbatten is in right now.

Of course Pamela Mountbatten wouldn’t say she’s not interested in money, but being able to have a husband to pamper her will take on an increasing weight in the couple’s relationship.

Compared to a decade ago, Malaya has changed quite dramatically, with the near disappearance of crude processing, which was dominated by cottage workshops. At the beginning of his first term of office, there was still a lot of presence of home-based workshops as such.

Cottage workshops were also the way to go in the early days of a place’s development, whereas now they are mainly concentrated in the agricultural sector. There are still a lot of cottage industries in the rubber industry, but they have disappeared in most of the industries.

The Malayan colony had passed that stage and had begun to stride towards the bright road dotted with plutocrats.

“Lord Lt! Madam.” At Mountbatten Mansion, the big buyers who had not seen each other for a long time appeared, and when they heard that the husband and wife had come to Malaya, they came to the door to greet them.

“It has been a long time and I have missed them. At a glance everyone has been doing well these past few years. I came this time to take a look at the automobile production line in Malacca City.” Alan Wilson was very happy to be greeted, indicating to please sit down, and also not forgetting to play chicken, “Let’s help each other so that we all have a bright future.”

Malaya’s economy exceeded three billion pounds, roughly equivalent to one-fifth of Japan’s. Considering the population comparison, this achievement can’t be said to be bad. If not for the fact that there are two major ethnic groups in Malaya, one could even think of surpassing Japan’s per capita income.

One of the reasons for this result is the small population of Malaya. Population is a double-edged sword, can be a help or a burden, in the demographic dividend period, for a government, naturally the more labor the better.

But don’t think that this is a good thing. The word “demographic dividend”, in the eyes of the government, is obviously more important than the dividend.

That’s what happened in Japan at this time, and Japanese entrepreneurs needed cheap workers with 3,000 dollars to work for them. You can fire them if you want to, and if you’re not happy with them, they’ll say, “If you don’t do it, there’s plenty of other people who will.

Japan’s population of nearly 100 million people also has a disadvantage, that is, Japan has to preserve some of the industry of little technological content in the long term, used to meet the employment. In the present case, Japan’s textile industry is still functioning.

And Allen Wilson had already forced these textile buyers to move the textile industry out. With Malaya’s small population, the transformation will not have to take into account the issue of preserving jobs.

“Britain is also counting on Malaya to shoulder greater responsibility. Now that Kuching has steel, Singapore has oil refining, and Malacca’s automobile industry has been established, Penang is still missing, and I’ll think of something when the time comes.” Alan Wilson gestured to the buyers.

“Lord Ltang has played a greater role in the development of Malaya than anyone else.” Gu Ke spoke up and said gratefully, “Since we’re revisiting our hometown, we can’t let Mr. Zhongtang leave with regrets.”

Regret? Alan Wilson thought back to what regrets he had in Malaya? It is not that I have one regret, that I failed to become immortal.

Rather, it was the fact that Queen Nan Fong was too old to give him good news like Garbo did, and there was nothing else to regret but this.

How could Coco and the others have known that these words had aroused Alan Wilson’s regret that he had not been able to realize his talents as prime minister?

After the buyers had left, Pamela Mountbatten spoke up, “I’d like to sell a couple of islands to the emirs of the Middle East.”

“Good idea!” Alan Wilson was directly in favor of it as soon as he heard it, “That would be a useful way to pack out the last few Giant Levels. Those few sheikhs’ territories, except for the oil which is a bit better than Egypt, there really isn’t much left to take advantage of.”

With the current population of Malaya, there is not even enough room to fill East Malaysia and West Malaysia, and the few islands that the British and the Dutch have gotten their hands on are in a state of emptiness. Of course, it could be used as a naval base.

Alan Wilson had sold some of the islands before, but now there are still a lot of islands left, if sold to these immediately rich chiefs, is not a way.

The more I think about it, the more feasible it seems, and it would also increase the hold these Middle Eastern protectorates have on Britain. Strengthening the ties between them.

“There are times when it seems that we still need to make good use of the advantages of the colonial empire. This is something the US wouldn’t be able to do, we can.” Alan Wilson directly picked up his wife and complimented, “My dear, our thinking is so in sync, or else I would say that the most suitable person in this world to be your husband is me.”

What a nice little girl in the beginning, how did she become like this today? Alan Wilson thought with a sense of fulfillment.

The production line of Land Rover Discovery, was placed in the city of Malacca, and in Alan Wilson’s transfer plan, the only remaining big city, Penang, would be the shipbuilding base from now on.

Richard accompanied the couple to visit the Land Rover production line in his private name, and said while walking, “In terms of treatment, these workers who entered the factory are very satisfied.”

“Industrial upgrading, how important the automobile industry is, as a resident of Malaya, there should be a basic understanding. Good things we have to do, and gratitude has to be received.” Alan Wilson salty answer, do good things without leaving a name that is not possible, he will not do that kind of stupid things.

Other than that, the economic imaginary enemy Japan, experienced the collapse of many industries, after decades of hanging on to a breath by the car, Japan’s dependence on the automobile industry is far more serious than Germany.

“There should be more British brands in the movies made by Xiangjiang. You talk to the Governor about that.” Alan Wilson said to Richard, “Since we have this condition, we should make good use of it.”

“I’ll take care of that.” Richard looked as if he had left it to me, “Secretary General, didn’t you say earlier that Madam came with you to visit, why did you come alone today?”

“She has a temporary guest to meet.” Allen Wilson raised his wrist and lit up the plain watch, this time Pamela Mountbatten should be with the Portuguese Governor Mazishi, and then talk about the matter of Vegas.

Pamela Mountbatten also runs the gaming in Newfoundland, not to say that gaming is a particularly important industry for the richest woman, right? But how to say is also half of the insiders, pipe Portugal to ask for a gambling license deserved.

As a governor, theoretically the power of Mazisi is unlimited, but Portugal’s national strength can not hold up, in general, specifically in Macao, or very cautious use of nearly unlimited power.

Britain is also now also holding up Salazar’s colonial empire, and it stands to reason that British interests should exist in Vegas. For example, decades later, the Ho family, the Ho family is not local to Macau, but rather the Xiangjiang people.

Their father, Ho Sai Kwong, was also a buyer for the Sassoon Bank. But Ho Sai-kwong went further than most Hong Kongers, he was the first Chinese on the Heung Kong to enter politics, reaching the rank of senior member of the Legislative Council, and disregarding the British in the Heung Kong, the Ho family’s power is now unlimited.

“Theoretically, Fu and Gao control the local casinos, but Ma Jishi told me. The Ho family is fighting for it.”

When Alan Wilson returned, Pamela Mountbatten directly informed the result of the conversation with the Portuguese Governor, “The Governor is still surprised that I am interested in the casino business. But there was no objection.”

“The surprise was why you would be interested in gaming. He probably didn’t know that you had such an industry in Newfoundland. Actually, my main objective is not to make much money off of this business.” Alan Wilson took off his mannequin jacket and remained on one side, “Rather, it is to find a place for the Malayan buyers, to talk business with Chinese merchants from other countries.”

“This place would be a little too obvious if placed in Malaya. It would be more appropriate to put it in a place managed by Portugal. Like Su Yang, Gu Ke and the others, they can use the venue of the Casino to communicate with their contacts in the Philippines, Thailand and South Vietnam on a regular basis. It’s also not easy to attract attention, making money is secondary, not making money should be done.”

“You put your ability, casually a little bit on the United Kingdom, there is a great benefit to the United Kingdom.” Pamela Mountbatten laughed softly, “Now make, as if you are the father of these buyers.”

“People a sentence of the Lord of the Middle Temple is not called for nothing, as for the matter of the United Kingdom, you wait until I am the Secretary General of the Cabinet.” Allen Wilson shrugged, “We also use this to feel out, the bottom of the Chinese businessmen in these countries.”

Now Allen Wilson certainly has a good idea of what strength the Chinese businessmen in Malaya have in mind, but the Philippines, which is influenced by the United States? Thailand and South Vietnam, still confused.
