Chapter 516: Be Ritualistic
By and large, although each day was a waste of time, they were getting closer to their respective psychological bottom lines. None of this was possible without the efforts of the diplomats of each country.
“Mr. Wilson, if Britain can join the United States in applying pressure.” James said as he walked out of the embassy to send off after today’s discussion.
“Britain is not a land power, and that is really beyond capacity.” With a look of love, Alan Wilson opened his mouth and said, “Actually, the one who can help the US in this matter is the Soviet Union, but Mr. James, you should understand the difficulty of it.”
American gratitude? Alan Wilson didn’t feel that the gratitude of the Americans had reached the size of two and a half billion pounds.
To help the United States by saying a word and then adding Britain to the list of countries with confiscated assets? If such a thing really happened, would the US compensate the UK with 250 million pounds?
Therefore, this matter should be regarded as the price for the United States’ support for the Cannon Party, and there is no such thing as being willing to gamble without losing. Everything today is America’s own choice. What about nothing? Just shouting about the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, something is wrong, the United Kingdom still feel that two point five billion pounds of assets more practical.
In saying that hasn’t he already pointed out a clear path for the Americans to go to the USSR? Although it may not be of any use at all, but at least it’s a way out, maybe the Soviet Union has a fever today, and can’t wait for the United States to die a violent death today’s heart to fade.
Alan Wilson had no time for James, he had to send a telegram to the United States today, today was the birthday of the Great British Treasure, and no matter what was going on it wasn’t as big as Vivien Leigh’s birthday.
Waiting at the British Embassy Allen Wilson took out the diary he carried close to him, another one of course, and underneath Vivien Leigh’s birthday was Hedy Lamarr’s, four days apart.
“To the headquarters of Woodpecker Pictures thank you!” Alan Wilson instructed the embassy driver, “It doesn’t look like negotiations with the Americans are going to be fruitful anytime soon, return the prepared salutes.”
And so the ceremonial flowers prepared to celebrate the transatlantic partnership were returned by Alan Wilson to the Woodpecker Studios headquarters.
“A few hundred pounds a month, you’re willing to spend.” Ingrid Bergman looked at Alan Wilson busy, a face of eating, “But for you busy, after sending a telegram to Vivian, this side is ready to celebrate Heidi’s birthday.”
“The point is that your birthday passed, otherwise if I happened to be in Paris, I would have definitely given you a memorable birthday as well.” Alan Wilson inquired, “Is Heidi’s classic footage edited yet? What floors is the studio on?”
“But my voice singing? Isn’t that something?” Ingrid Bergman was a little hesitant, she didn’t feel she had a talent for music.
“I’m helping you two partners in Woodpecker Studios, adding to the relationship!” Alan Wilson frowned, “I can’t sing, can I? This wouldn’t be good for me if the MI5 people found out.”
“Fine!” Ingrid Bergman also knew that Alan Wilson had a hard time, and reluctantly agreed.
Actually, songs that could have a wide range of popularity wouldn’t be too bad no matter what, even if it was Korean music. Although the level of lyrics in Korean music was really crummy, there was no problem with the melody.
Outside the recording studio, Alan Wilson listened to the Nordic goddess Ingrid Bergman’s singing debut, the English version of Kiss Everywhere, which was sung in Ingrid Bergman’s mouth, also had a different flavor.
“You beware of a kiss will turn the world upside down, a kiss will save a person, give you the body heat to save, will always donate to someone again, a kiss will steal a heart, a kiss will kill a person, an inch of kiss sense an inch of gold, a face of rugged travel.”
Alan Wilson, who sang along, let the Nordic goddess hear it for herself after Ingrid Bergman finished, and here’s what joined the harmonies, “Farewell to her, she kissed him, he kissed her kissed him kissed her, continuation of the pleasant process, you and I and he are so happy, the next her, she kissed him, he kissed her kissed him kissed her, continuation of the pleasant process, you and I and he are so happy. ”
Sings the Chinese version of Alan Wilson, as Ingrid Bergman emerges from the studio and the two listen to the record effects together. And was asked, “What country’s music is this.”
“Music knows no boundaries!” Alan Wilson laughed, clearing his voice to Kisses Everywhere, “Plus Heidi’s movie clips, which I’m sure will make her very happy come her birthday.”
Ingrid Bergman’s face cleared, and while it was a little inappropriate to think that, she was just not in a good mood, there was no reason for it, it just wasn’t good.
“Could be a good route to innovation.” Alan Wilson thought about the fact that the main current way of carrying music was still film, not tape.
In the sixties the Dutch company Philips developed into the world’s first cassette tape, a quarter of the size of the early Fidelipak loop cassette recorders, with both sides of the tape wrapped in a plastic casing to maximize the protection of the data contained therein, and with a capacity of thirty to forty-five minutes of stereo music on each side.
Phonographs have not been new for a long time; the advent of magnetic tape was an applied innovation, and today’s phonographs have not eliminated film because of its size. The film phonograph still has a large audience.
Woody Woodpecker Studios had tape recorders in their studios, but the same phonograph film existed. The invention of iron trioxide tape by the American Kamrath made the output four times higher than the original German tape. But early reel-to-reel tape recorders were still both large and expensive, and required careful use.
If it was possible to get tape miniaturization out of the way ahead of Philips, it was definitely a good route to making money.
Tape was an applied innovation, but despite the fact that there were many different formats of cassette tapes at the time, Philips’ decision to license the cassette format free of charge under pressure from Sony led to its subsequent dominance of the market.
In this way applied innovation became the market standard, accomplishing an important step forward, that is, from an ordinary company to a company that sets industry standards, a step forward that is not insignificant.
Thinking of this Alan Wilson took out the diary on his body, and what came into his eyes was a row of women’s birthdays, taken by mistake!
Before Ingrid Bergman turned around, Allen Wilson had already re-taken out the diary where he usually took notes about the tape.
Not that he was bragging about himself, but if he lost his journal, it would cause more damage than if mankind lost Edison. While it was true that Edison was a patent rogue, there was no denying that he really did invent a lot of things.
Inside the conference room of the American Embassy, James was not as stormy as he had been two days ago when the risk of confiscation of American capital had occurred.
Maybe he was used to it, because from the news coming from the Far East, Alan Wilson already knew that some of the US assets had really been confiscated, which was really sad news, on the day he heard about it, Alan Wilson was deeply impressed by the special relationship between Britain and the US, and almost laughed out loud inside the comforter.
As for the British assets, whether they would eventually end up like what happened to the American assets depended entirely on whether the Korean War broke out or not. He remembers that New China was first to strike a heavy blow at the U.S. assets, leaving a way out for the British assets.
This heavy blow is also restrained, if the Korean War does not break out, may be the U.S. industry will be cleaned up a little bit will be over. But the Korean War ultimately let the U.S. capital was swept away. And British capital to the fate should also be similar to the U.S. capital, belonging to the gradual liquidation, but the outbreak of the Korean War and let the British capital to survive.
The emergence of a war caused diametrically opposite effects on American and British capital.
“If everyone has no comments, then on the ninth we will formally reply to our own government.”
“Tomorrow?” Alan Wilson raised his wrist, Hedy Lamarr’s birthday day, so he looked up and rejected directly, “I think it’s better to choose a more thought out, consult all parties without problems, and a date of great significance, I think the first of January would be good.”
How busy he was, how could he have time to pay attention to the small matter of import and export control, he still had to go to celebrate Hedy Lamarr’s birthday. This side of the matter can be in careful consideration, over there Hedy Lamarr’s birthday if delayed can not be, only one birthday a year.
“Mr. Wilson, there won’t be an obstacle on the British side, right?” James asked with a frown.
“No!” Alan Wilson righteously said, “It’s mostly ceremonial, it’s better to pick an important day.”
Leaving the U.S. Embassy, he headed for Woodpecker Pictures in a flurry of excitement, showing up at the private theater in the middle of the building with the cake he’d ordered to celebrate Hedy Lamarr’s first birthday in Europe.
On the big screen of the theater, Hedy Lamarr’s classic video clips, accompanied by the melody of Kisses Everywhere and Ingrid Bergman’s singing, will Hedy Lamarr’s beautiful side of all the show, listening to Alan Wilson singing along, the mother of wifi’s pair of beautiful eyes gradually appeared in the water mist, deeply into the moving.
“Thank you!” Hedy Lamarr looked at Alan Wilson with a gaze full of tenderness, “It’s so heartwarming.”
Allen Wilson then went to the window and pulled open the curtains, under the night curtains, beautiful ceremonial flowers bloomed in the air, illuminating this stunningly beautiful face, “Heidi, happy birthday.”
“You too, Ellen!” Hedy Lamarr hugged this man tightly, “It’s like being in a real movie, is there a place to rest tonight?”
“It seems a little late to be returning to the embassy at this hour.” Alan Wilson face with regret, seems to feel sorry for itself can not wholeheartedly for the efficiency of the country.
The key is Allen Wilson all year round for the country to run around, can not enjoy enjoy it? The production team’s donkey is not so used, right?
Different people may have different interpretations of the big day, in the case of the Labor Party, the recent big day, of course, refers to the formation of the Socialist International in London, the Labor Party as the initiating party, there is no doubt about the status of the Socialist Party alliance.
It’s also a way of pulling in a wave of support in preparation for the national election in February, two years before the historic Socialist International came into existence.
