Chapter 293: First earn him a hundred million
At the critical moment, Alan Wilson also had to take out than the rotten method, with the civil war has broken out in East Asia, and at least on the surface is still stable and peaceful British India compared.
Although the current often just is complacent, in the end of the full-scale attack, focus on the beginning of the attack almost so a stage, but the war is war, once the war begins, will inevitably become a wealth crusher.
This contrasts with the current situation in British India, which was already far apart in any data on the two places, the gap is now extraordinarily obvious.
Now that a major country was in a civil war, and Japan had been destroyed due to the World War, when looking at the whole of Asia, it was of course the jewel of the British Empire that stood out from the rest, with a unique view.
Seeing Derek pretend to be confused, Alan Wilson had to play the essence of key politics, reminding Derek of the current reality.
The more brutal reality Americans haven’t had to know, such as poor Truman being played by Chang Gong in the palm of his hand.
Our advantage is very large, the operation of the initiative to send a head to Alan Wilson s poor historical knowledge, but also really can not find a few, Ming Yingzong should be considered one, sorghum river car god should also be considered one.
But the other two can be said to have lost a battle, Chang Gong? Civil War more than a thousand battles, the gun party seems to have won only twenty times, the victory rate of two percent, which can not be washed.
That bit of negotiation could be considered a non-starter because of the question of whether the fifty million was in pounds or dollars.
Thanked Derek for arranging the goodwill, Alan Wilson left, he also had to go back to cooking, poor him a young man in his early twenties, by a group of thirty-forty year old middle-aged women playing in the palm of their hands.
Time passed day by day, the trend is still to the good, although the speed of this progress is not fast. But things are like this, can’t Alan Wilson king of the air a hair, Derek without counter-offer to agree to the offer of 50 million pounds, that’s not realistic either.
Even in business negotiations, there is no shortage of examples of a year and a half, not to mention the fact that both men believe they have a great advantage. As long as the trend is good, that never brings bad results.
Derek is not without saying that he is very busy, have to return to the idea, this Alan Wilson ignored, he has learned from the mouth of Betty Davis, Derek is very important to this merger and acquisition, as set up in the U.S. Steel authority of the foundation, so it is very sedate.
Just very sedate, but also intelligence support to do, must not be avoided, he always have to discuss with Bette Davis, discuss the location including but not limited to the bedroom.
This is also for the British Empire to make the necessary sacrifices, even if it is more bitter and difficult, in order to advance the cause, Alan Wilson must also top.
“This Derek man is not as bland as he appears, and from what I know of him, this is blackmail.” Bette Davis’s big eyes fluttered, and the style of Warner’s first sister really lived up to its name.
Alan Wilson now has an immature idea, want to shoot the 2007 series, Vivien Lei and her group of girlfriends can be the heroine, taking into account the age factor, should be in accordance with the age of the oldest to the youngest, otherwise it may be ranked in the last but older actresses, it may not be appropriate to be the heroine.
A Bond girl should also be a very fulfilling thing if she can be born in her own hands. I just hope it’s in time, the original doesn’t seem to have appeared yet.
Although he had traced back the 2007 movies from back to front when he was extremely bored, he didn’t remember much about the earlier movies, just a general outline.
Although the thoughts in his mind ran off, Alan Wilson didn’t forget to answer Bette Davis’ words, “Extreme pressure?”
“Pretty much an accurate generalization.” Bette Davis nodded after thinking for a moment, “He doesn’t exclude such tactics.”
“Understood.” Alan Wilson nodded, it was a set up with King Know It All, if that was the case instead there was certainty.
People who did this were usually eager to achieve their ends, there was nothing else to think about, everything was done to achieve their ends first.
Allen Wilson’s guess is actually not wrong, Derek is now doing this, as early as the first meeting between the two sides, Allen Wilson mentioned the 1901 acquisition, pointing out that Derek’s offer of thirty million dollars was insincere.
Derek also knew very well in his heart, if it was lower than the purchase price of seventy-five million dollars in nineteen ninety-one, unless the whole of British India was stupid, it was simply impossible.
But after he still in Pittsburgh after the results of the evaluation came out, gave the offer of fifty million dollars, is to play the idea of extreme pressure, test the British bottom line there.
The result of the test is Alan Wilson’s offer of 50 million pounds, a figure he absolutely can not accept.
Fifty million pounds is one point four hundred million dollars, has exceeded the U.S. Steel Board of Directors to give an assessment of the price, which is never acceptable, if agreed to even if it is the last negotiated, this is not a credit to Derek, not by other directors to take out the connotation is good.
If Alan Wilson does not have London’s old fox guide, there is no Betty Davis the existence of this foreign aid, he will certainly be anxious in the heart, after all, is the life of the first hundreds of millions of dollars in a big deal, said the heart is not nervous are false.
What British India is stable is also self-hypnosis, British India’s situation even if not as bad as the East Asia open fire dry, but also just a rainy day, do not know when the stability will never return.
Home field advantage can give Alan Wilson’s support is the data to speak, do not need to pay attention to what Derek is the character of the businessman, also do not need to be influenced by what other factors, listed data is right.
From fifty million pounds and fifty million dollars for the start, both sides of the offer in a step closer.
In the meantime Vivien Leigh has taken Hedy Lamarr, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis to open the West Coast tour, making the already quite familiar Alan Wilson quite lost, and now the community is left with two Swedish actresses.
Greta Garbo, who had already broken into Hollywood in the twenties, and after a twenty-year interpretive career had announced her hiatus from the movie, it was a surprise to see her come to even British India this time.
Greta Garbo is recognized as the queen of silent films, she even without changing facial expression can use the eyes to express a thousand words, so Garbo’s acting skills and beauty sensational world. The owner of MGM said of her, “A face that comes along once in a thousand years.”
Roland Barthes gushed: “Her face, with its rules of elegant love, the flesh and blood of her face gave a devastating sense of purpose.”
Alan Wilson found the two remaining actresses, Greta Garbo very unapproachable and Ingrid Bergman much more approachable.
“Greta likes to be quiet, and she’s ready to stay unmarried for the rest of her life.” Ingrid Bergman commented on her Swedish predecessor in front of Alan Wilson, “Most of us have come over to British India this time to gain fame, but she’s different, she’s really come over to do charity work.”
“Never married in her life, she likes women?” Alan Wilson asked directly in return, to say that this kind of person he is not without contact, for example, British Burma Commissioner, British Ceylon Commissioner is not all well.
“This matter I dare not ask her, you have the ability to ask yourself ah.” Ingrid Bergman with a pep-talking tone, wanting to just see what it was like to bump into an iceberg with this civil servant who was so sociable that she had become friends with almost every actress.
“I thought she had preconceptions about me.” Alan Wilson had thought that he had been exposed once again, but it turned out to be Greta Garbo herself, and now he didn’t realize that in Greta Garbo’s eyes, he had actually really been exposed.
“That’s just how she is, very aloof and not very communicative.” Ingrid Bergman shrugged her shoulders and said, “Even the resting of the movie is a mystery that many people do not understand, but this time in the distribution of fundraising, she was very hard.”
When she first arrived in the United States, because of Garbo’s tall stature and long arms and legs, Hollywood molded the originally restrained and shy her into the image of a sports-loving positive and cheerful vivacious and lovely sportswoman.
The result is obviously not very optimistic. Later, but especially with her own character, cold, withdrawn, sentimental, in front of the camera to show the most real personal characteristics, but a hit.
Ingrid Bergman strictly speaking is considered Greta Garbo’s junior, both are Swedish, came to the United States of Ingrid Bergman is taller, not less in how to stand firm in Hollywood things, ask for advice from this predecessor. So it was very clear about Greta Garbo.
“Oh!” Allen Wilson forced a smile and waited for the guests to come to the door while cooking, Greta Garbo only came over during dinner and usually only brought in her own apartment.
This day the end of dinner, in the spirit of seeing if you can’t familiarize yourself with Alan Wilson, still didn’t hear a few words from Greta Garbo, the latter was slightly late to go a few minutes and said, “You and the actress have a very common language.”
“Ms. Vivien Lei is Britain’s national treasure, how dare I not take good care of.” Alan Wilson replied smilingly.
“Not Vivian.” Greta Garbo tilted her head and glanced at Alan Wilson with an indifferent gaze, “There are at least two others, so that means your methods are surprising.”
Because of this sentence, when negotiating with Derek, Allen Wilson was still suspicious, but instead, he confused Drake, stretching out his index finger and waving it in front of the other party for a few times, repeating, “Mr. Allen, I said one hundred million, one hundred million dollars, do you hear me.”
“Hear that, hear that.” Allen Wilson snapped back to his senses, indicating that he had heard Derek’s small goal before he began to reply, “Dear Mr. Drake, I have to say that our bottom line is very close. But it’s still a little short.”
