Chapter 137 Distribution of Tobacco Benefits
"Oh, Mr. Congressman, I'm actually looking forward to that day very much." Alan Wilson almost bowed his head and shouted to the current MP Harold Wilson and the future Prime Minister Harold Wilson.
As a professional civil servant, Alan Wilson could not be biased against party, and at the same time, he did not misapprove of the Labor Party. Although the current Prime Minister Attlee is indeed planning to abandon British India.
But looking at the current situation in the British mainland, if you don't give up, is it true that you have to face the kind eyes of the United States and the Soviet Union, mobilize a million soldiers, and go to India to fight non-stop right after World War II?
France is much more resolute towards the colonies than Britain. When Charles de Gaulle came to power, he held a referendum on the Algeria issue in France. If the war continued, he would be fully recruited. The whole country was mobilized and Algeria fought to the end. Finally, France also withdrew from Algeria after the referendum.
When Harold Wilson came to power, it was already in the 1960s, and the situation in the British Empire deteriorated more obviously. The more and more colonies are lost, relying on the population and resources of the UK itself, it is impossible to support a huge military force.
At the Potsdam Conference, Labor Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin, at the handover to the Conservative Party, also said, "There has been no change in our obligations with regard to foreign policy. His Majesty's Government will never accept the view that, The UK is no longer a big country, or we can no longer play the role of a big country. We still shoulder an important historical mission.”
Harold Wilson, who completed his research on the British-occupied area, returned to Hannover and returned to London by military plane.
Alan Wilson asked Arim to come over non-stop, asking about the tobacco production line and how much tobacco leaves were shipped on the ship, which can be used to start production.
As far as the current situation in Germany is concerned, Alan Wilson said something bad. The Germans are not qualified to be picky at all, as long as they smoke, they can even deal with grass leaves. In this case, there is only a question of whether or not, rather than a question of whether it is good or not.
"There are less than 3,000 tons of tobacco leaves! They are all grown by tobacco farmers in South India." Alim thought for a while and gave the answer, "Maharaja Ali Khan, he took great care of the commissioner's needs. Subsequent acquisitions are still in progress ? There are still cargo ships carrying tobacco leaves in the Indian Ocean.”
"It's enough for a short time." Alan Wilson thought for a while, and it was enough for a short time. He doesn't know the level of tobacco demand in Germany, but he knows that when New China was first established? The annual output of tobacco leaves in the country was only 70,000 tons.
Even if they don't all smoke, right? Where is China's population? The population of the British-occupied area is more than one-third of that of the Shikoku-occupied area, but it is definitely less than 30 million people, and most of them are women. As long as there is no big gap? The profit of this transaction cannot be calculated at all.
"Go up the Rhine River and send the machines and tobacco leaves to Bonn? I'll go talk to Tim Brand and Hadro." Contribute to the future citizens of the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany.
After all, London now regards Bonn as a model for the reconstruction and restoration of the British-occupied area. Alan Wilson also has to consider for the face of the British Empire? Make an insignificant contribution.
Let Arim do the transshipment? Alan Wilson drove a civilian version of the Mercedes-Benz directly to the headquarters of the Trade Commission in the British-occupied area? Directly to the two actual managers of the Trade Commission? Tim Brand and Harold? After avoiding the others, he calmly entered the topic.
"I have shipped a batch of machines and raw materials from British India, and I am going to start production in Germany. Sir Barron from British India has helped me a lot." Alan Wilson sat down calmly, without panic Speak unhurriedly to narrate.
"And then?" Tim Brand sat in his seat and asked noncommittally.
"Is this a tobacco production line? There are more than 2,000 tons of tobacco leaves." Allen Wilson said leisurely.
"What?" The two deputy secretaries-general blurted out, stood up almost at the same time, and stared at Alan Wilson.
Germany now? What is in short supply, and the two deputy secretaries-general who are already in charge of the Trade Commission of the British-occupied area don't know?
The two of them knew it too well. Today's cigarettes are almost gold? A hard currency that runs rampant in the British-occupied areas and even throughout Germany. You can also be confident that there are only varying degrees of differences within Europe.
With cigarettes, there is almost everything, oil paintings, cultural relics, gold and jewelry, all of which are not a problem. It is not an exaggerated imagination at all, but a fact in front of you.
Now Alan Wilson said that a tobacco production line has arrived at the port with tobacco leaves. This news is like putting a high-explosive bomb in front of the two deputy secretaries-general, making their ears buzzing, and their heads are buzzing for a while. All in a blank state.
"Alan!" Harold licked the corner of his dry mouth and just said, but Tim Brand reached out to stop his colleague, and said with a smile, "I believe Sir Barron must have spent a lot of money on this matter." It took a lot of painstaking efforts to make this transportation possible. Of course, as the liaison officer between British India and Europe, Alan, you must have worked hard for this."
"Yes, Deputy Secretary-General." The offense and defense were out of position in an instant, but Alan Wilson did not pursue the victory, and maintained the politeness and respect he had when he first came in. "It is mainly because the colleagues in British India have worked hard, and I I just happened to be at the meeting and made a small contribution.”
"Actually, Harold and I saw at a glance when we received Congressman Wilson that you are a person who is passionate about your work." Tim Brand said slowly, "I have no intention of disrespecting your work. What kind of interference, from the time we were together in the Trade Commission to the present, Harold and I have not pointed fingers at your work, now that you think about it carefully, our getting along should be regarded as a pleasant cooperation."
"I am very grateful for the cooperation with the two deputy secretaries-general. I have also learned a lot from the two deputy secretaries-general." Alan Wilson agreed with the words of the two deputy secretaries-general.
"That's good." Tim Brand paused slightly and said, "Well, Alan, tell the truth, what kind of help do you want us to provide, or to promote the re-employment of German people in the British-occupied area?" , Do you have any unique views?"
"Tobacco, which is suddenly put into the market, may cause price fluctuations in the British-occupied area, which may cause a certain degree of confusion." Harold added on the side.
"Besides, the British-occupied area is now severely damaged, and the roads and railways have not been fully restored. How to transport is also a difficulty." Tim Brand added immediately after singing.
All in all, the two deputy secretaries-general believe that the current British-occupied area trade committee can provide a certain degree of help in this matter, which is not too much.
"Dear two deputy secretaries-general, I am one of our people." Alan Wilson bit the word "our" very hard and expressed his position. This response made Tim Brand and Harold's eyes shine. Slowly spit out a word, "Very good."
"Restoring the market and ensuring employment in the British-occupied area is the business of the entire British-occupied area trade committee." Alan Wilson changed the subject when he said this, "Of course, we cannot deny that Sir Barron and the British-occupied area thousands of miles away Indian civil servants, great help in this matter."
"Of course it can't be denied." Tim Brand said bluntly, and now he has determined in his heart that Alan Wilson is communicating with himself on behalf of the civil servant group in British India.
This matter involves the unity of the civil servants in the two places under the larger civil servants.
"Actually, we have worked hard and left our homeland to work in other countries. It is not too much to have some extra income. It is just the two deputy secretary-generals. After all, we are public officials of the British Empire. It does matter, I have a suggestion, we find a German to be the owner of this tobacco factory, and provide convenient support at the trade committee level."
Now that the desire for cooperation has been expressed, Alan Wilson began to speak out his thoughts. Tim Brand and Hadro kept nodding, although the benefits were enough for them not to be the deputy secretary-general. But if there is a way to have the best of both worlds, wouldn't it be better?
In the conference room of the Trade Committee of the British Occupied Area, three people were whispering, and Alan Wilson had the feeling of 500 million detective Lei Luo, who calculated the groups that should get their share of profits one by one, and carried out the charging standard work.
The civil servants of British India are actually Alan Wilson himself. Because of the raw materials provided and the large number of people in name, it is a matter of course that they should get the biggest share.
Of course, the Trade Council of the British Occupied Area should have its own share, and the attitude of the British Occupied Area, especially the Bonn garrison, should also be taken into consideration.
Colonel Malcolm is the commander of the Bonn garrison, and that share is definitely indispensable. In the end, Alan Wilson himself worked hard to handle this matter, and his own share was also indispensable.
The problem of distribution of benefits. Rush due to uneven distribution of spoils has been rare since ancient times. So what method should be used for the distribution of benefits? First of all, there is a five-level and three-level system in the distribution of benefits for the younger brothers.
Pyramid-shaped profit distribution mode, supplemented by distribution ratio. Some discuss the combination of seniority and ability. It will neither disappoint the elderly nor deny the newcomers a chance.
Corruption is not such a simple matter. Alan Wilson did not act arbitrarily, but discussed with the two deputy secretary-generals to determine the distribution of benefits, which cannot be changed no matter what happens in the future.
After completing the charging plan, Alan Wilson said that he has found the owner responsible for the operation of the tobacco factory.
"Is that the woman from the Bonn Women's Work and Labor Bureau?" The two deputy secretary-generals heard that they were all good people, and of course they could guess that Isabella Bokina should not be so innocent on the surface.
