Chapter 514 Pamela’s Gain

The Paris Coordinating Committee is an unspoken organization, even the United States, which initiated it, knows that this kind of backroom operation is not an honorable thing to do, neither official nor any treaty exists, and even the discussion takes place in the U.S. Embassy.

In the first negotiations, basically no results, the only result is to determine the blockade of the countries are who, currently including the Soviet Union, as well as the socialist countries in Eastern Europe, but does not include the just stood up China.

This is consistent with Alan Wilson’s memory, to put it bluntly, the newly formed China is almost no need to blockade, even British India was mentioned once or twice to talk about the possibility of whether there may be the possibility of reversal to the Soviet Union, China was not even mentioned.

It can be seen that after the ravages of the Golden Decade, it can be said that anything that has anything to do with heavy industry, there is no hair left. It doesn’t even get mentioned anymore.

He remembered that the Paris Coordinating Committee appeared China’s figure, mainly because of the Korean War, the United States lost a handful of adults. Only then did the United States temporarily add China to the mix while the Korean War was still going on.

About the situation in the Far East, Britain and the United States of America’s interests are different, Allen Wilson did not have to remind the Americans, is the United States to support the Cannon Party to fight the civil war, Britain can not support, Prime Minister Airdrie also persuaded the Americans to recognize the reality, it is the Americans themselves do not listen.

In addition, the British why remind the United States, in China, a total of 2.5 billion pounds of assets there, was confiscated by the Americans to make up for it? Two and a half billion pounds is not a small amount.

Although after the three wars, Britain wanted to let the United States to take over the enterprises in China, but the Americans are not stupid, how will be in such a dangerous time to take over, naturally, the British enterprises did not succeed in getting rid of the hands.

Although there are no results, Allen Wilson and other representatives of European countries also understand that any negotiation is not so easy to reach the goal, after an exchange of views, we are still optimistic.

The current European countries need the United States is good, but this need is mutual, can not one side unconditionally agree to all the requirements of the other side.

Allen Wilson still expected more from the life of Peckerwood Pictures than from the supply of embassies. There could also be a discussion about the ownership of United American Pictures.

At the time of the Cannes International Film Festival, Ingrid Bergman received Chaplin as a half-host, and by that time the news of Chaplin’s expulsion from the United States had already spread throughout Europe, and away from the United States in an environment where many of the stars attending the festival didn’t have to be in the intentionally alienating Chaplin.

Ingrid Bergman also specialized in sniffing out Chaplin’s future thoughts, the United States is not able to return, what are the plans.

“Chaplin is absolutely will not return to the United States, this point I can guarantee that the loss of Chaplin United States film industry performance will greatly decline, the United States will not be in the Chaplin kind of satirical movies allowed to grow.” Alan Wilson said in an affirmative tone, “In fact, I would like to buy Chaplin’s stock in United States Pictures through Vivian, so that not only is it good for her, but also for you, with Europe and North America taking care of each other, the foundation will be a little better.”

That’s not entirely true; the U.S. actually allows alienating satires to appear, such as the folksy Gotham City. But focusing more on the non-ideological aspects, daring to be like Chaplin and seize on various contradictions to keep playing is not an option.

“You’re so good for Vivian!” Ingrid Bergman’s mouth tasted a little sour, even she didn’t notice this, “That’s one of the eight major Hollywood studios, Chaplin’s life’s work.”

“His life’s work was destined to be unprotectable, do you think anyone can touch politics? Not to mention a master comedian, a greater influence would surely touch his head.” Alan Wilson touched Ingrid Bergman’s hand and took the opportunity to show credit, “But Ingrid, I will protect you, in my eyes you are all goddesses who have fallen to earth.”

“Do all fallen goddesses need the devil to protect them now?” Ingrid Bergman brushed her head away as if she didn’t see the man’s aggressive gaze, “You’re a very nasty villain, but yet you look out for the ones you like all the time, what a contradiction.”

“That’s what I call standing in the darkness and guarding the light, but it’s hard to understand that statement with the environment you’re in.” Alan Wilson straightened his back, “I’ve sacrificed too much for the sake of the multitudes, a man who is supposed to be ordinary.”

Anyway, all Ingrid Bergman needs to know is that United American Pictures, should be in the midst of imperative planning. In waiting for the next big movie studio to have a crisis, there was no telling when it would be.

Or he personally go to Elizabeth Taylor, the 20th Century Fox bankruptcy? But Elizabeth Taylor was only seventeen years old.

As a master of time management par excellence, Alan Wilson shuttled back and forth between Woodpecker Pictures and the British Embassy in France, not forgetting to keep an eye on Pamela Mountbatten’s movements.

Fortunately, recently, Pamela Mountbatten’s trust in him was at an extremely high level because of the matter of the Roman Empire’s treasure, and if expressed in numbers, it was definitely a hundred percent favorable.

For her fiancé, Pamela Mountbatten had nothing to hide, and would generally work out a schedule and send it over if she was able to contact Allen Wilson.

This is also close to the vermilion and close to the ink, Allen Wilson a Whitehall civil servant nothing to write a report, resulting in Pamela Mountbatten also follow the example of life planning very carefully.

The biggest advantage of this is to avoid misunderstandings, Allen Wilson is very grateful to his fiancée for this behavior of maintaining transparency.

Holding the discovery of the Australian iron ore aftermath of Pamela Mountbatten, with the aura of the Queen of Steel, the speed of achievement can be much faster than Alan Wilson, after all, a group of French aristocrats and the U.S. state apparatus compared to the United States, it is really not difficult to deal with.

Pamela Mountbatten returned to the British Embassy before, Allen Wilson has snatched back to wait for his fiancée’s descent, listening to the other side about the feeling of being star-struck in the group of French aristocrats, and every now and then patting a rainbow fart.

After listening to Pamela Mountbatten’s vision about fundraising, Ellen Wilson then said, “It’s best to convert to pounds sterling for the calculation, and you should know, my dear, that the franc can be devalued three times over.”

France was in the same situation as England, that is, the country was not strong enough anymore to support the value of its currency. If I had to say, it was actually worse than the situation in England, where the pound was devalued once after the war, going from four dollars for a pound to two point eight dollars for a pound.

The movement of the franc is even more disturbing than the pound, the end of the war in December of that year, the franc’s first post-war crisis, the franc depreciated fifty-eight percent against the dollar, the waist! Last January and devalued 44 percent, close to the waist cut! In September of this year, the franc depreciated by thirty-eight and a half percent, which is better than the previous two times, but it is still a very scary figure.

Sterling is certainly not as stable as the dollar, but compared with the franc on the stability of too much, in case Pamela Mountbatten got a bunch of francs to Libya, if something happens to the franc, that can be a loss.

Originally is in the spirit of internationalism, with the French fallen aristocrats to become rich, this is already very internationalist, don’t come to the end of Pamela Mountbatten and then lose money, this can not be.

“It makes sense!” Pamela Mountbatten also recognized as soon as she heard it, “I propose to let these shareholders convert into pounds, this request is not excessive, right?”

“Very much not excessive!” Alan Wilson righteously said, he was British and not French, what was excessive about it.

In fact, the fluctuation of the franc is far more huge than the pound, so don’t look at France in Africa to get out a CFA franc for the endorsement of the franc, that are useless, all the way up to the twenty-first century the franc in the international position never exceeded the pound, as of the euro appeared until the euro is so.

“I’m all yours!” Pamela Mountbatten was full of good behavior, “If we go by the current fundraising, I’d only have to take a million pounds to have a majority.”

After three near-waistful devaluations, the exchange between the franc and the dollar went from one dollar for one hundred and twenty-four enamel before World War II to nearly four hundred now. And the pound sterling to the dollar is one to two point eight. That means that Pamela Mountbatten, if she contributes one million pounds, is equivalent to over one hundred million francs.

Then the figure of this fundraising from the French nobility is less than one hundred million francs or so.

After a simple conversion, Pamela Mountbatten nodded her head, indicating that her man’s speculation was correct.

“It’s also okay, so that you have a majority share, you can dominate the oil exploration work. Suppress the opposition and talk to the Kingdom of Libya, like I said before, the money can be given to the Libyans, but supervisors must be sent to monitor the flow of funds, and the Libyan royal family must not be allowed to have the right to deal with the money, even if it’s a welfare payment to the Libyans, it should also be issued by you. There is also the fact that the negotiations must allow the Libyans to settle in pounds.”

The proceeds after exploration can be shared with the French, or it can be more conscientious to let the Libyan kingdom get the profit, but the matter of settling in pounds must be done. Even if we all made money together, the profit had to be in pounds.

Anything can be negotiated, only this point must be insisted upon, now Britain needs everything that supports the value of the pound. It was the case with the Australian iron ore mine, and it’s the case with this one too.

While thinking of a better future with his fiancée, the embassy staff came in to report, “It’s someone from the American Embassy, they want to talk to Mr. Wilson.”

“Oh!” Alan Wilson was flabbergasted for a moment, but immediately knew what was going on and pouted at Pamela Mountbatten, “It must be an import/export control matter. I’ll say congratulations to the oil queen later, let’s go deal with the Americans first.”

His guess was not wrong at all, the Americans came for this purpose, the only thing that was new to him was that lately he was the one talking about the matter of the Anglo-American Special Relationship, suddenly an American opened his mouth about the Anglo-American Special Relationship, which was very refreshing to hear.

“Mr. Wilson, our American and British interests are the same. This matter needs Britain’s help!” The representative of the U.S. Embassy in charge of the negotiations of the Paris Coordinating Committee, the words were that we are family.
