Chapter 1537: Taking on the Unions

This is a very serious matter, although Alan Wilson understands that there is no killing without buying and selling, the market exists, and there will definitely be people who do this kind of business.

But if his son’s father-in-law did this, that was a different issue, he couldn’t even ignore this issue, not to mention Pamela Mountbatten’s side, implicating a whole bunch of what dukes and earls.

Allen Wilson and that gang of messy speaking nobles compared to, or quite good to talk, as long as this kind of business to get rid of everything is good to say.

Furthermore, this kind of business really does not make money, the so-called money from a personal point of view, but Rhodesia almost a million subjects, each nothing to go out to cut waist? The Third Empire is also not so idle.

“As far as you grow poppies and marijuana, it’s not much of a worthwhile business to develop, but yeah? It’s barely enough to take care of part of the livelihood.” Alan Wilson’s dislike is written on his face, to say that there are a few thousand or tens of thousands of people under Grace, it’s not impossible to rely on drug trafficking to make money, but hundreds of thousands of people are not this kind of industry can afford to feed.

This line can not get rich, the head to take away the big head, right, the rest of the money enough for an armed group to live a good life? If enough, how the armed groups in Thailand and Myanmar are living in the pants?

Larger groups, the Mexican side of the armed groups, ordinary members of the quality of life is also general, to become a parochial industry is naturally justified, do not do the head can not get rich, to do the head of the matter came.

Rhodesia’s Slavs, at least the remnants of World War II, do this kind of thing is also too fall.

“Marijuana and poppy cultivation, to slowly reduce. In fact, with the relationship between Rhodesia’s natural resources and population ratio, there is absolutely no problem living the life of Australia.” Alan Wilson can be described as bitter, the most important thing is that Rhodesia really has the conditions to feed the subjects in the territory, the only thing that is somewhat regrettable is that there is no access to the sea.

Rhodesia certainly can’t be compared to Australia in terms of mining, but also consider the population of Rhodesia, the planting environment is also stronger than Australia, mining and modern agriculture is already enough for a society of one million people.

Seeing Grace nodding, Alan Wilson directly entered the main topic, “Colleagues from the Price Management Committee can bring modern planning to Rhodesia, which is beneficial for future development. In fact, with Rhodesia’s agricultural advantage, flush out the neighboring countries’ agriculture and hold the food issue in their hands, they won’t dare to go against you in the future.”

“Or are you going to let me feed a few thousand people.” Once Grace heard that the original main drama was here, he even doubted how much sincerity there was in the conversation just now.

“I won’t deny that either, I’m the head of the civil service and I can’t watch my colleagues lose their jobs. You see, it’s reassuring for everyone.” Alan Wilson admitted painfully, “It must be noted that the female Prime Minister who came up this time is actually unpredictable in many ways, and women tend to do things more to the extreme in order to prove something. I’m not really willing to confront her yet, it’s best if we can make peace with each other.”

It just so happens that Pamela Mountbatten is going to take the Australian partners back to the mainland, this is not all the conditions at once, Alan Wilson’s intention is to keep everything simple, after all, now Margaret Thatcher has just come to power, the UK’s social environment not only did not improve in the slightest, but also inflation is a little bit higher again.

This time to do a big job, not and national famine, Hail Selassie I take meat to feed the lions almost? The head of the civil service also depends on public opinion, although the head of the civil service doesn’t have to be elected.

“Brother is sort of married to the Rhodesian side of the family, but I have a feeling he’d love it.” Arnold appeared with his hands in his pockets, commenting in front of the supreme authority, “In that case, it would be possible to establish a human connection between the mainland and the Rhodesian side, which is necessary from the point of view of interests. How come this kind of good thing is not my turn ……”

Alan Wilson directly slapped his youngest son’s head and spoke, “I’m looking for one for you from the Ustasha side as well, how about it.”

“Better not, I’m already motivated to benefit society and contribute my talents to the country.” Arnold puffed up his chest and said, “It’s better to be a soldier’s brother for something like a marriage. I’m going to adhere to gentlemanly traditions and not have too much to do with these overseas.”

In order to increase the proceeds from the sale of BP, Alan Wilson suggested to Margaret Thatcher that the shares be sold in the form of an auction, which would increase the proceeds to the British government and improve the financial situation.

The sale of public housing is geared towards the general public, the shares in BP clearly cannot be geared towards the majority of people in the UK, these are two audiences and the issues are vastly different.

The permanent secretaries of all the major departments are currently holding a showdown over the targets, which will become a key criterion in the future for civil service promotions. While all efforts are being made to promote the sale of public housing, Pamela Mountbatten has finally taken care of everything and returned to London with many supporters.

Welfare cuts were also an important topic of discussion with Mrs. Thatcher, and while it was the right thing to do, it couldn’t be said too bluntly, “Essentially not to feed the lazy, but you can’t really say that they’re lazy, that’s a British citizen too, and their vote is a vote.”

Margaret Thatcher now needs the most is the support to stabilize the position of prime minister, know Alan Wilson for her sake, can not help but heart warm, “Whitehall’s support is extremely important for reform.”

“We have to say, emphasize individual responsibility and obligation, and change the principle of universality to the principle of selectivity, that is, welfare spending does not apply to everyone, but only to give welfare to those who need it the most, and to improve the efficiency of the market mechanism in the allocation of resources in the welfare system. So that the welfare system not only helps the poor, but also helps to increase their motivation to work, resulting in a win-win situation for both individuals and the state.”

Alan Wilson embellished as he thought, “This kind of rhetoric is much less universally offensive and much better accepted.”

It’s actually like the sale of public housing, where the rhetoric and the specifics of going for it are not the same thing at all, and the rhetoric can be quite beautiful.

For example, among the documents promoting the sale of public housing is one that says that even if you live in public housing in the future, you have to pay twenty percent of the rent on the local price of the house as a user fee.

But in reality, all public housing will be sold off this time, and there will be no public housing at all, so what’s the point of paying 20 percent rent? Find your own housing in the future.

“It is the trade union issue that is the most untouchable issue in Britain.” Mrs. Thatcher knew that the sale of state-owned enterprises and the sale of public housing were minor issues, and that the most untouchable thing in Britain was the trade unions, especially the National Union of Mineral Workers, which she considered the most important trade union to be eradicated in Britain, knowing that Britain could not compete with other countries in terms of the horizontal comparison of minerals at the present time.

“Energy can be hoarded from the Soviet Union as well as elsewhere, in preparation for a long struggle.”

Alan Wilson put himself in his place and suggested, “In past strikes, we have learned a lot about the tactics on the part of the unions, which are nothing more than causing traffic jams and energy shortages. The energy issue is a top priority, and this can be done, since the privatization reform of BP has begun, we are considering the use of coal in power stations, changing to oil-fired power stations, reducing the dependence on coal, and likewise reducing the energy of the coal unions. It’s also important to have our people inside the unions, to know their every move, and I suggest using MI5 agents to keep a close eye on the leadership of the major unions.”

“That’s a good idea.” Mrs. Thatcher immediately agreed as soon as she heard it, not thinking at all that there was anything wrong with MI5 being used against the unions.

Mrs. Thatcher still emphasized that it would be best to have the issue of selling public housing resolved within the year, and asked what the difficulty was.

In fact there was no difficulty at all, the departments were beginning to amortize, so what difficulty could there be, but Alan Wilson still promised in the tone of a military order that the problem would be solved in 1979.

“We expect that we can recover two billion pounds from the sale of one million public housing units to solve the pressure on the government’s financial expenditure. This is definitely a policy that benefits the country and the people.”

And another policy for the benefit of the country and the people, that is, the sale of twenty percent of the shares of British Petroleum, Pamela Mountbatten is being solved, after returning to London she frequently contacted with business partners, and strive for the sale of shares of British Petroleum, to achieve the effect of bidding around the sale of shares of the British Petroleum company.

This involves a huge amount of wealth operation, Alan Wilson where to ask, he can only give the venue to the richest woman, he hides on the side of the grand blueprint does not disturb the richest woman.

A face of the bowl of the mansion is difficult to carry, Allen Wilson came to Hepburn to express aggression, to the ball flower big expression of loyalty, “Sheen recently how, I really owe you too much.”

“Nice words, who knows how much sincerity you have.” Hepburn didn’t let the tripe confuse his mind, and grumbled in a small voice, “You’re not enthusiastic about me now either, you don’t even get the back ……”

Pamela Mountbatten can be described as radiant, in the British Petroleum share sale, successfully in the roundup bid to take the British Petroleum shares for eight hundred million pounds.

Although it cost a little more than the earlier method which was not by auction, the earlier method which was not by auction was open to all and a portion of the shares had to be set aside for citizens to hold.

Now the auction method is much simpler, Pamela Mountbatten can exclude the vast majority of everyone competitors, although the cost is a little more, but save.

When Ellen Wilson arrived home, the excitement of the richest woman still had not dissipated, and was very surprised to see her husband return, “Why do you seem so tired?”

“Do I? My age seems to be normal even if I am a bit tired. Always laboring for the country, which is like you so benefited to enjoy life.” Alan Wilson tried his best to make it look like he was fine at all, and digressed, “It seems that this time I came back with a great harvest.”

“Of course!” Pamela Mountbatten immediately gabbled, recounting the preparation of this bidding round and the whole process of the auction, his eyebrows fluttered as if he was thirty years younger.

Getting the shares of BP was considered a stage victory, and Allen Wilson finally got the good news that he had pushed for, the batch of tanks ordered by Iran, finally had a new buyer.
