Chapter 1726 – Strategic Turn In

“Pauline’s passing is a sad event, she was so good to you over the years.” Alan Wilson was running his special Anglo-American relationship at precisely this time, and Garland, who had been raised by Pauline Goddard and was Anna’s other child, had a busy time after Pauline Goddard’s funeral before arriving in London.

Father and son did not meet much, but have kept in touch by letter, Garland has lived in the United States for a long time, the future is obviously still to live in the United States, it is inevitable. Alan Wilson asked if there was anything he could do to help.

“Mother has a query.” Garland was about to say something and finally said it, “Have you ever had feelings for her? And by feelings I mean in terms of love.”

“Of course I have, that’s not even a question.” There was but not much, but what kind of person was Supreme Authority, claiming to be the number one deep love in Europe, even if there was a single point it could be shown to be all-consuming.

Garland was clearly satisfied with the answer, although he had long since reached adulthood and wouldn’t be psychologically burdened by a question, but it was always a good thing. “My father, though unable to go to the United States often, has also taken an interest in me over the years, and there have been many schemes where he has given good advice.”

“There is a part of the credit, but it mainly relies on yourself.” Alan Wilson did not take credit, and his own children do so is not necessary at all, “your environment and my environment is not quite the same, this kind of thing is like food, there is no superiority or inferiority in nature, and this example is not universal, the British food can not be on the stage.”

Of course American food, which had absorbed that part of England amongst it, wasn’t much stronger, McDonald’s and KFC were popular around the world, but it really didn’t have much to do with the craftsmanship itself.

“You forget, Father, that Mother is a director of KFC.” Garland said and asked rhetorically, “I heard that was your suggestion as well?”

“Uh, yes.” Alan Wilson mused for a moment, it seemed like it was said that way once during a visit to America in the sixties, and Pauline Gaudet had actually listened to it.

But then again, there are not many female friends in the United States, go infrequently, and he can’t change the problem of loud mouth in front of women, a few friends have benefited greatly is true.

When it is true that the American dream exists, the future of the American dream is really just to a dream, as for now? This still depends on the United States is not able to eat the dividends of the collapse of the Soviet Union, if you can not eat, perhaps the American dream will wake up earlier, after all, the Soviet Union left out of the sphere of influence, but also able to let Europe and the United States to digest a good while.

Since talking about the cause, Alan Wilson naturally also came to interest, asked Garland now career is smooth, the United States, after all, the opportunity is still more, this opportunity refers to the new industry, rather than what the steel automobile, oil and rubber, these industries have long been the name of the game, the pattern will not have too much change.

“To say it’s been a great year, I’ve had very big developments on the Dell side.” Garland mentioned his big move this year, which is the cooperation with Dell.

In March, the Chinese computer king Wang An had died of illness, and his computer company was now no longer as prosperous as it was back then, now that the founders were all dead, the company’s fate was sealed, and it had actually only been five or six years since it had gone from being so glamorous to now operating in a dismal manner.

As for Dell, now is the stage of rapid progress, time and Wang An’s company fell trajectory consistent with Wang An’s company losses, Dell is the time of significant expansion, in 1986 Dell’s annual income has reached 60 million dollars.

In 1986, Dell’s annual revenue reached $60 million. The following year, at the age of 22, Dell was recognized by the American Association of Collegiate Entrepreneurs as one of the “Young Entrepreneurs” for 1986, making him stand out in the U.S. business community.

He then began to expand overseas, with Dell establishing wholly owned subsidiaries in Canada and Germany. He then boldly reformed the company structure to provide a more efficient, globally unified product resource, centralizing sales and marketing.

And the only secret of his success is that the only secret of his success is to sell computers directly, to eliminate the middleman, to become a businessman who does not produce parts but only assembles them, and the fundamental trick is to bring the benefits of the original middleman to himself.

It’s not really creative, any more than Sam Walton opening every chain store in a small town, but Dell’s brilliance is in knowing that Walton’s principles can be equally invincible in the computer industry.

“It’s not a big deal in the short term, but anyone can be a middleman, and it’s not a sure-fire way to win. Of course you’re an investor, it’s not so much about you, it’s a good business.”

Alan Wilson or choose to tell the truth, he feels that Dell’s strategy, is not flawless, essentially the same as conscientious thinking, is a company that eats leftovers.

Good Dale and Dale do a few years of good brother that is certainly possible, Garland also agrees with this point, “I and Dale’s close relationship, it is the time when the Dell company ran into a crisis, I pulled him a hand.”

So Garland will introduce up the causes and consequences, last year, excessive smooth make Dell some drift, he is still too young, so did not think of happiness begets sorrow. As the company grew, its ever-increasing size clashed with its management style, and like every company that starts with nothing, it faced a leap or an abyss.

Too much rapid growth triggered dysfunctional problems, the company couldn’t sort out profits and losses based on product type, it had a lot of trouble with infrastructure and managing operations, and it spiraled out of control.

Dell tried to salvage the situation through the usual retail channels, but it was too late. The company posted a quarterly loss and the stock price plummeted. Production plans were so poor that the laptop line had to be stopped. The company had to sit on the sidelines for an entire year, missing an opportunity in a hot market.

It is also at this time, Garland consistent support, so that Dell got out of the woods, not in the middle of the year to become the front wave was shot on the beach.

Allen Wilson listened carefully to Garland’s career progress, and then inquired, “How is Monroe’s life in the United States, is everything going well.”

“Very well, and with a commendable career, he has a good relationship with Steve Jobs. On the Gates side, though, there’s been a desire to get in touch with Sheen.” Garland inquired, “Is he in London, why don’t he come straight to America with me for a spin this time.”

“Probably not, next year, he has his own things to deal with this year.” Alan Wilson refused outright, now that he thought about it, he still hadn’t had enough sons, and it was surprising that there was a sense of overstretching.

He had to have a son to keep an eye on in Kiev, and now Hepburn’s son couldn’t leave.

But next year would be good, and in the future the micro-manipulation on the American side would depend on the three sons, who were on an equal footing with their brothers, to say that when you leveled a machine gun by thirty meters, you could never get a centimeter more.

The United States is of course important, if in all countries have their own children have a good development, the only thing is not the United States, this is completely unreasonable, the United States is there, he is not this ability to pretend that the United States does not exist, so not only to put the good oldest child there, but also to put a few more, otherwise it is always uneasy.

This is also nothing to hide, can be completely straight with Garland, “a person can not put what industry all their own control finished, this is beyond the ability of a person in all aspects. That’s why it’s not a bad thing for you to have a couple of brothers to grow together in the U.S. No one has ever denied that the U.S. is strong.”

“I know, father.” Garland didn’t actually understand, but it didn’t delay him from answering with a firm voice, he was even very, very interested, was that all there was? Were there any other countries.

Then of course there were, but there was no need for Garland to know that now, counting, that is, France did not have his son, with two beautiful daughters in the same way.

There was nothing left out of the rest, not even Sweden, the powerhouse of I don’t know how many centuries ago, had been left out.

There are still some things, Alan Wilson is to remind Garland, must control the media, so that it is easy to amplify their own voices, in this new era, the network is developing at the moment, Garland had better pay attention to this aspect of the information, Garland pondered for a moment said, “like CNN?”

CNN is a new media in the United States, and compared to the traditional three major media, CNN’s history is not long, but by now it also has a decade of history in the news field. At the time of its inception, CNN officially began broadcasting live news continuously twenty-four hours a day.

It also established news offices in major cities in the United States and around the world. Broadcasting direct and unedited news broke down geographical boundaries and allowed everything to happen simultaneously. It was a new and completely different kind of television news!

Less than a year after CNN was created, the founders made it clear: enter the White House press corps. Of course none of the three major networks or the White House took CNN seriously and refused to admit CNN.

But CNN began to assert itself legally, just as he had first used the law to win the right to send his own satellites, by suing the White House for violating the Fair Trade Act by creating a press corps that also included then-President Reagan, Baker and Secretary of State Hague.

Eight months later, the law gave Turner and his CNN the chance to move forward again, and CNN was given a senior correspondent seat in the White House press corps, with the courage and risk-taking that made CNN also have to take on the Big Three.

“A portal could be made on the Web.” Alan Wilson replied, “It’s not too early at all to commit to building your own media circle.”

When a certain big country was doing the most prosperous time to make portals, it was Sina and Pig Farm, Penguin and Sohu, of course soon portals collapsed in a certain big country, Sina with microblogging and Penguin with communication software were fine, and Sohu completely fell off the wagon, but now at this time of the year, portals obviously had a long time to have a good time.

“I’ll go back and pay attention to that aspect.” Garland solemnly made a promise, his own father although he likes micro-manipulation, but undeniably, the vision is really accurate, if not a civil servant to be a businessman is also quite good.

But when he thought of Britain’s richest woman, Ms. Mountbatten, Garland was relieved, there is no difference.

Currently, the most explosive news coming from the Soviet side is that the Chetan people announced that they had withdrawn from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, officially moving towards a break with the map head, which represents the Chetan people to openly separate from the map head, obviously this move is not favorable news for Margaret Thatcher’s desire to hold on to the Cold War and not let it end.

As the largest administrative body within the Soviet Union, Russia’s leaders are not members of the Soviet Communist Party anymore, and Mrs. Thatcher’s advocacy of the Soviet threat theory would clearly be out of place.

Even the U.S. media is turning away from the Reagan era’s close ally, special-relations advocate, and charismatic stateswoman to the current troublemaker, war-monger, uneasy U.S. ally or even dubious, huge political ambitions, and so on.

To the British public opinion war ability, normal circumstances are not affected by the British mainland, but this time the British public opinion fell down, in the face of this kind of attack without resistance, the United States how to taunt connotation of Margaret Thatcher, British public opinion on how to a key forward, so that Margaret Thatcher heard clearly.

In the face of the prime minister’s fury, Alan Wilson was silent, said it was all the fault of the United States, after all, the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States is not you to promote it, was infiltrated by the United States of America’s public opinion in the normal but.

“This has become my fault?” Margaret Thatcher was quite angry by the United States to engage in such a point, angrily asked back, “I am not to maintain the status of Britain.”

“Isn’t that what happens when you rely on America to defend it? Being America’s enemy is dangerous, being America’s friend is deadly, and the Prime Minister, who avoided the danger and then put his life in the hands of the Americans, should have realized that sooner or later this day would come.” The supreme authority was full of lies, and British public opinion could not fight, mainly because he had not added money.

Now Alan Wilson could conclude that because of the white-hot conflict between the Chethens and the Mapheads, it was certain that the end of the Cold War, as preached by the United States, would be even more widely recognized, and that Margaret Thatcher’s objections would be just one more occasion to be scolded.

“Isn’t that what you want?” Mrs. Thatcher, convinced that it wasn’t as simple as that, harped on, “You’re essentially a Europhile, and now that the special relationship has disintegrated, Britain has only one option for Europe.”

“Actually there was never only one option, I don’t even know what the basis of the Atlanticist’s existence was, was it to emigrate to America one day?” Alan Wilson laughed indifferently, “You can see how to choose from the comparison of trade volume to Europe and to the United States, I wonder what the Prime Minister thinks now, what position Britain should stand on?”

Choosing Europe, a bit of a slap in the face to Margaret Thatcher’s longtime persona, but now there is no way out, the United States this time to the Iron Lady scolded the body, so public curses and accusations, has been enough to make Margaret Thatcher can not get off the stage, “I’ll talk to Mitterrand, how to lead Europe.”

“Yes, Prime Minister.” Alan Wilson mimicked the tone of the classic aria and immediately picked up the phone to call the Foreign Office, with all the blows, Britain was going to turn.

No thoughts today, just one chapter.
