Chapter 283 The Arrival of Your Guests in New Delhi
History will eventually prove that it is not advisable to take regret pills, repeating what was said to Hedy Lamarr, but without divulging who the others among you people were.
Allen Wilson ten thousand times expects Joan Crawford to be a person who can give himself a chance, if time can be turned back, he will be more careful and will not be found out.
Man’s mouth, cheat the ghost of a man, said that only sleep, everything is done, Joan Crawford on this kind of words never believe, other actresses more or less born in a good family, even if they do not do the star can also be a peaceful life.
Joan Crawford was born at the bottom of the heap and had to cry and pray for a job as a stripper in the beginning.
Which believed Allen Wilson’s self-justification, but this matter had nothing to do with Joan Crawford, she merely wanted to talk about her own discovery, did not intend to get anything from Allen Wilson.
“I didn’t realize you were still nice na.” Allen Wilson breathed a sigh of relief, just now were nervous sweat, thinking one also do two also do, really can not create an accident, these actresses are accounted for in British India, waiting to see the American movie fans mourn, but fortunately, Joan Crawford pulled him back from the edge of the crime.
“Do you think I care about your crap, Vivian doesn’t conflict with me after all, if it was Betty I might not be so nice.” Joan Crawford narrowed her eyes, the coolness in her eyes too thick to melt, “I know Betty despises me, and I don’t see her either.”
“Joan, I also can’t look at those people who are so arrogant because of their birth, I also came from a bitter background, step by step to get where I am today.” If things were a little more serious, it is estimated that Allen Wilson would have to kneel in front of Joan Crawford and hug his thighs to beg for leniency, now it’s not so serious, but also immediately indicate the position to draw the distance between the two sides, “I’m one of ours.”
“You’re one of us?” Joan Crawford with a bad expression, reached out her finger and hooked the man’s chin for a moment, and then positively said, “Don’t worry, I appreciate people who work hard, with Vivian’s fame, you can be considered a dream come true.”
Along the way Joan Crawford had given so much, and resonated with Alan Wilson’s words I also came from a hard place. There was a time when she too went from one red couch to another for a role to get where she is today.
Allen Wilson in Joan Crawford here, has been considered a male version of himself, the same is to live a better life, there is nothing to blame, is not to eat soft rice.
In Joan Crawford here and harvested a soft rice male identity, Allen Wilson before the whole body to retreat, between two frights a day, he is a little walking wobbly.
The next day’s work spirit was less than optimistic, and he couldn’t even think of where we were awesome in India!
Fortunately, Vivien Lei’s India parade has begun, the news spread caused the whole British India’s newspapers in a row, achieved a sensational version of the effect, attracted the attention of the whole of British India, side by side to alleviate a lot of pressure on the Viceroy’s Office.
Walking in the subcontinent of the goddesses ah, let the Governor General’s Office up and down the work pressure are reduced a lot, the main work is, in order to Bergman, Jiabao tasted a bite of what Indian food as the title, write a covering the entire page of the news.
It didn’t really matter if they ate it or not, the Viceroy’s Office said they ate it and said it was delicious, and that was a news article.
For Alan Wilson, there was another official matter that was not quite suitable for others to know about, Lai Jisheng returned with a full harvest, much to Alan Wilson’s relief, squeezing the gold coin with the lion design and loving it.
“We closed the local English school, saved a lot of expenses, and focused all our energy on trade, and the harvest in a few months was very great.” Lai Jisheng recounted his credits with great eloquence.
“See, see.” Alan Wilson couldn’t stop nodding his head, never taking his attention away from the gold coins for even a second, but of course he soon apologized for the way he had just acted as a gold Buddha was pushed out by Ri Jisheng, and the sound of its rubbing on the table indicated that the weight was not light.
Listening to Ri Jisheng’s hard work and self-congratulation, Alan Wilson stared at the fast-falling eyeballs, very agreeable, “The British Empire will not forget your work in the midst of difficult circumstances. I see this matter is over, can completely change a place to do commissioner.”
This verbal commendation can be said to be insincere, Lai Jisheng later to go where and what he has to do with, love to go where, but now it, “work or the need to strengthen, you also know that the local precious metals are now scarce, we are for the sake of the British Empire Well, do not think that the current work is useless, we bring these gold to the mainland, into the British pound is not supporting the local economy? Is not in support of the local economy?”
Alan Wilson righteously emphasized that the colonial officials rushed back to the local economy of the great role in promoting the local economy. Do not see, many of the main characters from British India back, are not rich or rich?
Art comes from life, who dares to say that these people who returned from the colonies did not promote the progress of the British Empire?
This angle of the patriotic heart, so that Lai Jisheng respect, not to say how people in their twenties became a commissioner of British India’s assistant, their own half-life in the subcontinent, is still an errand boy it.
This awareness alone is not at a level, with the encouragement of the commissioner’s assistant, Lai Jisheng’s motivation is even higher.
“With me, you can rest assured that you’ll do it boldly. At the end of the year, General Mountbatten will take office, and even less people will pursue.” Alan Wilson pulled the tiger’s skin and gave Ri Jisheng a little hint.
I have to say that he is amazingly bold in this aspect of money, not caring at all about the consequences, “We are not looking at the gold, but cherish the historical value among them, they can not protect, or put in the hands of the country that can protect it is better, such as the British Museum, from Egypt to Babylon, where is less?”
The British Museum has a collection of artifacts and treasures from around the world more than seven million pieces, the number of collections and the richness of the types of museums around the world is rare. Because of the size of the collection, the British Museum can almost show the whole world’s civilization.
Collections from the Middle Ages, especially in ancient Egypt and ancient Greece and Rome’s collection is famous, as well as Asia, the Middle East, Africa, a large number of valuable cultural relics in the Americas. Many parts of the world’s cultural treasures, only there to see the real thing.
Want to see mummies to see in Egypt? Do not know that the British Museum mummies, more than the Egyptian preservation?
Even Allen Wilson felt that there could be development in Afghanistan, but of course he didn’t have the power now, and had to wait until General Mountbatten took office before he could have a chance to talk to the Afghans.
With the Golden Buddha, Allen Wilson is energized again, and even has no time to talk to Hedy Lamarr about patents.
Just Jinfo can not have every day, the patent is still to speak, still in London Pamela Mountbatten received a telegram from the sweetheart, said that you can set up a communications company, just register the company there do not want much money.
Telegram of course also explains the development of the patent on frequency hopping, and also explains Alan Wilson is ready to pay out of his own pocket, to help Pamela Mountbatten’s determination to develop the business.
The second half of the telegram, mentioned the long gestation of the Emerald Palace idea, two things directly to the eagerly awaited the end of the year will come soon Pamela Mountbatten get the bones are light two two, excited out of the door, busy communications technology company things to go.
Hedy Lamarr was obviously more interested in the raw stone Allen Wilson had brought back from Burma than in the patent, an emerald green stone unique to Burma that Hedy Lamarr had not seen before.
“This would be great if it were an emerald.” Hedy Lamarr startled Allen Wilson as soon as she spoke.
“If emeralds thirty centimeters square existed, I’m not kidding at all. The British Empire could have declared war on the country it was in ten times in the last hundred years.” Alan Wilson secretly swallowed a mouthful of spit, is it easy to dream after too many movies, such a big emerald? Hedy Lamarr is also really daring to think.
The world’s largest emerald raw stone, but four kilograms, the Burmese gave him a jadeite raw stone at least five times heavier.
“If you like it, it’s yours.” Alan Wilson saw that Hedy Lamarr seemed to be quite fond of it, and took the initiative to open his mouth to express his generosity, “I’ve already sent a telegram to London, and will explore your patent practically. Your patent royalty will be set at five thousand pounds for now.”
“Fourteen thousand dollars?” Hedy Lamarr was astonished; it was no small sum to her.
“If the product comes out, you will be paid according to the percentage at that time.” Alan Wilson nodded, “Of course if no product comes out, that may be all there is.”
“How about a couple of us stars who are still in New Delhi invite you to dinner at the same time? It’s tomorrow!” Hedy Lamarr was in a good mood, she now felt that Vivienne did have a better eye than she did, the man still had a lot of strengths.
“Tomorrow?” Alan Wilson shook his head after hearing this, “I have other things tomorrow, another day.”
Tomorrow he was going to have his suitcase customized, the previous one was full, it was a little bit worse, but after receiving the golden Buddha it wouldn’t fit, at the same time, he also had to appraise the authenticity of the golden Buddha, don’t be fooled by Lai Jisheng, we weren’t really very familiar with each other.
After Hawaii, Tokyo, Manila all the way to Derek, finally with a very professional elite, in the capacity of director of U.S. Steel, arrived in loyal New Delhi.
Allen Wilson had only just yesterday, had dinner with Hedy Lamarr and Joan Crawford, missing one Bette Davis, I don’t know if it was because Bette Davis knew that Derek was arriving or because she didn’t get along with Joan Crawford and didn’t show up at the meal together.
Because of this, dinnertime was taken up again by Joan Crawford for some internalizing.
“Need to get ready for a scene where Washington is on fire.” Allen Wilson knew this news and also began to make preparations, the other side is not French, although the arrival of the loyal New Delhi, but with the Battle of Waterloo is not quite appropriate.
