Chapter 415 The exhausting Governor
Too extreme a good thing, but rather made several Boston families suspicious, sent senior manager Smith Hammer personally to make a trip to Newfoundland to see if it was true.
“In fact, Mr. Smith did not have to come to a trip at all, I myself doubled as the consul of the Boston consulate, you can completely find the British consulate, let them contact me, do not need to come to a trip in person, look at this boat trip, really hard.”
Alan Wilson began the classic traditional skill change face, almost instantly forget the identity of the British Empire civil servant, as if he is the senior manager of the Boston Consortium, directly accounted for the opposite position.
Although the Boston consortium in the United States among the consortium ranked first, but constantly surpassed by the later. Whether it is Morgan or Rockefeller, in front of the Boston Consortium that started with the slave triangle trade, all belong to the latecomers.
The development of the entire Boston consortium, has been can be used to describe the ups and downs, and then it was not easy to wait until Kennedy came to power, the Boston consortium thought it could be restored to the glory of the era of Lawrence, but then appeared Kennedy was assassinated.
Can only say that the earliest U.S. consortium was ill-fated, with here mentality, for Smith-Hammer all questions, Allen Wilson with a sympathetic mind to answer.
“Mr. Allen’s move, very bold.” Smith-Hammer listened to the heartfelt exclamation.
“I feel it would be better if there was another word for it.” Alan Wilson thought fortunately he was not a politician, otherwise he would not dare to be this kind of courageous praise.
Smith-Hammer personally made a trip to Newfoundland, but also wanted to put himself in the shoes of this growing tax haven to see if Newfoundland had a promising future.
Hearing that there were Chinese workers working on the island, Smith-Hammer said in surprise, “Mr. Allen is not afraid that these Chinese workers will not leave.”
“No fear, Newfoundland is as effective as a vacuum cleaner once winter sets in.” Allen Wilson laughed, he answered Smith-Hammer’s fears, even from the point of view of the worst possible outcome appeared to indicate that there is no such danger.
Do you know why guerrilla warfare is far less effective in the Northeast than in Guanzhou? This is the role of the weather, really hiding inside the deep forest resistance, the winter temperature can solve most of the problems.
In front of Smith Hammer, Alan Wilson mentioned the idea of Newfoundland’s economic transformation, “Listening to Mr. Joy, Newfoundland has had a lot more guests lately, it seems that they should all be with Mr. Smith for one purpose, the senses are too sharp.”
“This kind of thing, involving money, how can a person with a mind not be sharp?” Smith Hamer, with an expression of look-at-you-say-this, exclaimed heartily, “Who would object to having more and more of his own money?”
“That’s really what the vast majority of people think.” Allen Wilson nodded seriously, as for the financial knowledge that Smith-Hammer asked about, it touched his knowledge blind spot, although he claimed to know everything, but all just know on the surface, in front of the professionals is a bit of a dedication.
But Alan Wilson does not understand, but let Smith Hammer satisfied, because he understands, to the Boston consortium, for example, learned that the Newfoundland only need to pay a year of fifty pounds of management fees, it can be said that the different industries under the banner of the same number of branches set up in Newfoundland.
These branches own most of the assets of the Boston Consortium. The Boston Consortium does not need to have any organization in Newfoundland, these subsidiaries and Boston’s main business does not have any relationship.
By packaging these Newfoundland-based subsidiaries as legal entities with “business substance” and employing a small number of “core personnel” to undertake “high value-added” business activities such as equity investments, legal entities such as the Boston Consortium are able to create a “business-like” presence in Newfoundland. entities, such as the Boston Consortium, could ostensibly avoid taxes by shifting most of the profits generated and accumulated from the main business.
All in all, Smith-Hammer was very satisfied with the visit and felt that it had been a worthwhile trip to Newfoundland.
“Oh, by the way, Mr. Smith, among Boston’s main businesses, is there any food processing industry?” Although Allen Wilson did not know any profound financial knowledge, he could tell that the other party was very satisfied.
From this point of view, Allen Wilson can also say that he is no trick to win, just strike while the iron is hot Boston Consortium’s advantages, see if you can reach a complementary advantage.
“Mr. Allen really asked the right person.” Smith-Hammer rather self-possessed, “Boston can be said to be one of the main centers of the U.S. food processing industry, we can not say that the monopoly of the market, but among the food processing has an extremely special position.”
Smith-Hammer also side-stepped that Newfoundland local fishermen’s harvest into the U.S. market, the Boston consortium’s opinion is very important, after all, the two places can be counted not far from each other, and a lot of products are considered to overlap.
“Then at a glance, Newfoundland all the more should make good relations with Boston.” Alan Wilson made a dawning realization, his mouth was not without compliments, “If the two sides cooperate, a certain degree of supplementation can be carried out. Newfoundland’s high-quality seafood, if it can be helped by Boston, can go to the tables of thousands of American citizens.”
“It is so!” Smith-Hammer gave a positive response, “It makes Newfoundland’s fishermen richer, and it can also strengthen Boston’s voice in the food processing industry.”
“After all, the special Anglo-American relationship is here, and helping Boston is helping Newfoundland.” Alan Wilson had a look of admiration on his face.
He now found the value of Smith-Hammer, after all, he wanted Newfoundland to take off right now, especially the fishery industry has always been a traditional project of Newfoundland, and it should continue to be carried forward, and the introduction of the Boston Consortium’s help in this area is of great significance for the rapid takeoff of Newfoundland.
In this case, any means to make money, Allen Wilson is willing to try, he only hope to make quick results, regardless of whether the money is noble or despicable.
And is it despicable to let the Boston Consortium help? He didn’t think so, on the contrary it would benefit the fishermen of Newfoundland and make his work in Newfoundland more honorable.
Smith-Hammer was equally happy because it would benefit the Boston Consortium as well, with the support of the Newfoundland fisheries. On top of seafood, Boston’s advantage would be even greater, and its influence on the food market would increase.
The charm of trade comes from this, to complement each other’s strengths is the meaning of trade.
With a common basis for strong alliance, naturally there is nothing to oppose, as the Newfoundland administrator, Alan Wilson and Boston food processing industry giant negotiations, for the benefit of Newfoundland fishermen’s news spread, in fact, it is his own release out.
Whether it was released by himself or not is not important, what is important is that the fishermen of Newfoundland were very much looking forward to it. With the status of a colony, Newfoundland fishermen were certainly free to do business with all parties, Canada, Europe, and the United States. It’s just that one individual lacks bargaining power.
Fortunately, the abundance of Newfoundland’s fishery resources made everyone’s life okay, but if it could be higher, who would object?
However, unlike the smooth sailing that the Newfoundland fishermen were expecting, Allen Wilson and Smith Hammer disagreed on the specific approach, Allen Wilson advocated controlling production to keep prices up, while Smith Hammer wanted to increase production.
Allen Wilson knew that the latter-day Newfoundland fishery had been depleted, cod was even harder to find, and the entire fishery had been held up by Arctic shrimp and sea crabs. With that future waiting, he certainly couldn’t choose a similar path.
Smith Hamer, on the other hand, believes that the necessary increase in production is necessary, can use the unique rich fisheries of Newfoundland to self-research, to flush out the competition, and subsequently the rest of the market is not the Boston consortium? As well as Newfoundland fishermen’s ……
It sounds very reasonable, just as the latter-day Samsung Group, a variety of reverse operation, the more no profit the more increase in production, all competitors are crushed and then monopolize the market in the price increase, sounds very reasonable.
Allen Wilson knows that everything can be planned, only food can not be planned. And fishery resources and industrial products can not be compared, there is no added value.
Unless it’s like caviar, first make the fish endangered, a small piece of the remaining origin, and then make the caviar into a luxury product, but this is a repeat of the future destruction of the Newfoundland fishery, he can not accept.
“Dear Mr. Smith, let’s put the food processing thing aside, after all, I’m a civil servant and you’re a financial manager, we’re talking about something we’re not very good at.” Alan Wilson took it upon himself to put out the fire, stating that none of the issues the two were arguing about had anything to do with their own professions.
“Yeah, yeah, we should have a couple of families send in real food managers instead of me, a financial manager, to talk about it.” Smith-Hammer tapped his head and laughed sardonically, “I can’t believe we’re discussing fish!”
“If Mr. Smith feels that there is no problem, you can handle it now, or ask for instructions from the country.” Alan Wilson smiled and said, “It just so happens that I have time in the next few days, I personally do the businessman to handle this matter.”
“The Chief Executive of Newfoundland doing it himself? Then I am truly honored.” Smith Hammer nodded his head, although the two had occasional arguments, after a few days of getting along quite well, he immediately said that he wanted to set up a few branches, and a few families in Boston had already agreed.
Thus Allen Wilson collected seven hundred dollars in fees, and five more companies were added to the Newfoundland hangers-on.
Although from the time he issued the executive order to now is only a short time, but has brought more than thirty thousand dollars for the Newfoundland income, I believe that this accumulation will be more and more with time, the tax haven plan has begun to bear fruit.
At the same time as the tax haven program has begun to bear fruit, the timber production in the Humber River Basin has not stopped for a moment, and now he is still talking to the Boston Consortium about the development of the fisheries industry, which is simply Newfoundland’s version of the three rings of diplomacy.
