After the secretary left, the office fell silent again.

Major subconsciously stroked the education reform draft with his right hand. This thing... is a powerful weapon.

There have always been a large number of schools in Britain, not to mention universities, but only primary and secondary schools.

Among these schools, there are public and private ones. Public schools account for about 95% of all schools, while private schools account for less than 5%.

But...among all the elites in the UK, more than 60% have studied in private schools.

This extremely distorted data is scary to think about.

Although public schools are the choice of most families, and the teaching quality of some public schools is indeed good, but... when placed in the huge base of schools, all of this is just empty talk.

Let's take a very simple example, and compare a primary school in London with one in Carmarthenshire. Both schools are public, but the gap between them is...

It simply cannot be measured by data.

Carmarthenshire also has a complete education system, whether it is kindergarten, primary and secondary schools, or even universities.

But the teaching quality of these schools...it's shocking just to think about it.

Although there is no such thing as the college entrance examination in the UK, it is still time to go to university. There are rules for where to go and which school to go to, and some hard results also depend on it.

For most ordinary families, even if their children can go to prestigious schools, can the family afford the expensive tuition fees?

Even if the family has extremely extreme ideas and lends money to send the child to a prestigious school, after the child graduates, how many years will it take to pay off the student loan alone?

Not many people in Britain believe that attending a prestigious university can change one's life.

The more common idea is that any property in the family can be inherited by the children.

For example, in Carmarthenshire, if a family is a farmer and has its own small ranch, can't the children of such a family go to a local school that offers agriculture and animal husbandry, similar to a junior college?

When the children graduate, they can take over the family ranch and everything will be done. This is how people have lived for generations, so why should they go out and spend a lot of money to go to a prestigious school?

Besides, in the minds of many people, it’s enough to graduate from a prestigious university?

Some college graduates from prestigious universities, even if they work hard all their lives, may not earn as much as a servant of an aristocrat.

What's the point of this struggle?

What ordinary people care more about is whether they can find a job, whether the income is high, and whether the benefits are good. That’s it!

Different concepts have led to different views on education in different regions, classes, and even industries.

What Major wants to do now is to change this situation, such as unifying the management system, optimizing the teaching plan, etc., to tilt or evenly distribute more educational resources to those areas with poor concepts.

This reform seems to be of great benefit to ordinary people.

Moreover, during the reform, a large number of schools with better teaching quality will be added. With these schools, the school district housing around the schools... won't it stimulate consumption?

As for the future... just do your best now, and leave the future matters to the future prime minister. What does it have to do with him?

As long as this bill is passed by Congress, his reputation will increase greatly, and next year will be an election year again!

At this critical point, he really needs fame!

Under normal circumstances, if this bill wants to be passed, it will inevitably go through a long period of debate and obstruction, because there are too many invisible hidden interests involved!

But now... when Alan beat the Duke of Marlborough that day, Major also went with Boss Cha to watch. The MPs who were watching at the time, due to the Earl of Carmarthen's fierce power, helped him "testify", but what if the Earl of Carmarthen cannot attend meetings in the House of Lords within a year?

If we take this opportunity to submit this draft to the higher authorities, we can eliminate a major obstacle.

As for why Major was so confident that the House of Lords would not make things difficult for him with this bill.

Haha... before that, the media must report some negative cases that happened in primary and secondary schools in the UK, such as the children of a certain nobleman beating someone up, and so on.

Let the people feel a sense of urgency, and then use the heat of public opinion to promote education reform.

This case must have enough influence, and the protagonist should have a higher status than others, the better!

Now... the candidates are very clear, Prince William and Prince Harry. They have been following someone for so many years, and these two naughty kids have learned bad tempers from them. A lot of negative information about them has been dug up!

As one of the top stars in the UK, if Prince William is exposed to have committed school violence with other classmates during his school years, then...

In this situation, if Major, as the Prime Minister, leads the education reform and puts forward the bill, those members of the House of Lords who used to have grudges or conflicts with Allen will definitely take advantage of the situation, because Allen will not be able to come to the House of Lords for some time in the future!

He is not around, who can let go of such a good opportunity to take advantage of someone's misfortune?

As long as the draft is finally passed, whether it is the courage to lead the education reform or the prestige of Alan, Major will gain a lot of reputation.

How wonderful it is that one thing can benefit multiple parties!

Now there are only two things left. First, we need to let those members of the House of Lords know quietly what the punishment Alan received is. We need to make these people know clearly that the extremely arrogant Earl of Carmarthen will not be able to come to London for some time to come. You can feel free to take advantage of the situation!

Second... choose another scapegoat and let him propose education reform first.

Major still had a precaution. He was a little afraid of Allen. This time he took the opportunity to cause trouble for him. Sooner or later, he would be released from prison. For his future safety, he needed a scapegoat to divert the hatred. When this gentleman's anger reached here in the future, he would throw the scapegoat out!

Let him vent his anger.

Um……

After going over the plan in his mind, Major looked at the cold coffee on the table. He didn't mind it and took a sip. He never drank cold coffee in the past, but when he tasted it today, it tasted surprisingly good!

…

Strasbourg, headquarters of the European Parliament.

Inside Allen's riverside cottage.

Alan had just woken up in the morning and finished his morning exercise next to the large floor-to-ceiling window with a river view, sweating profusely. He threw the slightly unconscious Ajani onto the sofa next to him very roughly, and picked up the bath towel that fell on the ground and wiped the sweat off his face roughly.

This little girl actually dared to challenge him yesterday. This is intolerable!

Alan, who had been holding his breath, stayed up until after two o'clock last night and finally vented out all the suffering of house arrest. After waking up in the morning, he fought back and felt satisfied.

…

He put down the French newspaper in his hand and gestured for the servant to take the breakfast away.

Alan looked at the river view outside the window, thinking about how he used to disdain his identity as a member of the European Parliament, but he didn't expect that now he would need this identity to go out. It's really... the world is so fickle.

The Earl of Carmarthen had to go out of Wales under the name of investigating French women, Isabelle Adjani!

After returning from London, Alan only stayed in Wales for one day to show respect, and then found an excuse to come to France on a "business trip".

…

"Master..."

Little Stone bent down slightly and interrupted Alan who was in a daze with a low voice.

"What's wrong?"

"The addresses of several stores in Qatar have been selected. Among the pending documents I brought with me this time is this application. Butler Hutt also told me before he left to review it as soon as possible."

"oh?"

Alan pinched his eyebrows and yawned. Has he finally completed the preliminary preparations?

"Let's go to the study!"

…

Looking at the store locations on the document, Qatar is not large in area and has a small population. Its current total population is about the same as Wales, with only more than two million people.

But... among these more than two million people, there are only about 200,000 locals, that is, real Qataris, and the rest are foreign workers.

Most of these workers come from India, Pakistan and areas surrounding Qatar.

These people are basically not within the service scope of the Blue Knights. To describe these foreign workers in a more vivid way, they are equivalent to the "servants" of the more than 200,000 Qataris, earning what they think is a considerable salary, and then...

Make money in Qatar and spend it back home!

If you expect them to spend a lot of money on ordering takeout or something, well... forget it.

So, although it seems that the food delivery company is serving more than two million people, in fact, it only needs to serve Qataris, who total only more than 200,000 people.

Fortunately, these Qatari locals are distributed in a relatively regular pattern. Looking at the application documents for a total of eight main stations and dozens of service outlets, Alan nodded.

Needless to say, their capital city Doha has a total of six stations, and their locations...are built in a large circle around the royal palace.

The remaining two terminal stations are located in Duhan, an industrial city not far from Doha. It is an oil processing city with few local Qataris. The reason why two terminals were built here is that Allen wants to take good care of his oil fields in the future. As long as the nails are placed in this city, it is equivalent to tying a dog at the gate of Qatar.

Each takeaway main station is equivalent to a small branch, with several or even a dozen small stations under its jurisdiction. It can radiate all takeaway businesses within a surrounding area of ​​about ten kilometers. It is quite easy and inconspicuous to cram four or five hundred "combatants" into so many stations.

…

“Swish, swish, swish.”

After looking at the distribution points on the map, these were all set plans, and all that was left was his final signature. Alan wrote down the approval without hesitation. The next step was to send people to build the takeaway stations and place the early staff.

Next... once the site is built and the personnel are in place, we can almost implement the plan discussed with Moza.

Thinking of this, Allen put down his pen and looked at Xiao Shitou and said, "What did the TV station say? Have the address and specifications been decided?"

Upon hearing this, Little Stone dug out another document from the pile and handed it to Alan, saying, "Ms. Ceylon said that after the Christmas party, another group of employees will be able to receive training. As for the people from the BBC Middle East branch, she has already had a second round of negotiations with them, and recently... uh, it's been a bit of a stalemate."

"Hmm...where are you stuck?"

Since there are differences, we must find a solution quickly. Allen is afraid that by the time the economy recovers, the BBC will go back on its word and not close its Middle East branch. That would be interesting.

"The details... should be mentioned in the documents. Ms. Ceylon didn't tell me in detail."

Little Stone pointed at the document and motioned for Alan to take a look at it himself.

"Um!"

…

Alan is still in sage time at this moment. He is calm and peaceful and can see everything attentively.

When I opened the file, the first thing I saw was a brief introduction to the current staff of the Middle East branch.

There are a total of more than 200 employees of various types here, including dozens of well-known hosts, but more than half of these people are locals, that is, Middle Easterners, and the other half are sent from the BBC's British headquarters.

The situation of other employees is similar, with a half-British and half-Middle Eastern configuration.

In the past, this configuration brought great convenience to their work. International news was handled by people in Britain, while news from other parts of the Middle East was sorted and summarized by the locals, and then both parties were jointly responsible.

But now that the department is going to be closed down, the issue of whether the staff will stay or go has become very troublesome.

For a large number of local employees, their ideologies have changed a lot as they have "opened their eyes to the world". Even though they knew that the TV station was going to be closed down, they did not want to leave and instead wanted to develop with the company.

However, some people from the UK who used to work here have found new partners and started new families. They feel that the work environment here is better than that in the UK, so... they don't want to leave.

This brings up a problem. There is a difficulty in taking down these people because their ideas are polarized.

Even if things remain the same, there are still some people who want to take advantage of this opportunity to leave.

Ceylon's idea is that she wants to keep everyone, at least for half a year to a year, to maintain the previous overall framework of the TV station and hand over work to the new employees from Wales.

Now here comes the difficulty.

…

Looking at the information, Ceylon tried every trick including salary increase and vacation time increase, but still couldn't change some people's minds. Alan almost laughed.

Looking at this scene, you say it’s sad... He feels a little bit too.

Have these Middle Eastern natives who want to go to the UK ever thought about why the BBC wants to close its Middle East branch?

Isn’t it because of the bad economic environment?

They failed in the Middle East, so why do they think they can do it if they follow Britain?

Besides, even if the salary is reduced, can the cost of living in the UK be compared with that in the Middle East?

I earn less money than before, but spend more than before. What's the point?

Just because... they have been brainwashed for a long time and now yearn for their dream hometown of Britain?

Why……

It's hard to persuade a damn ghost with kind words. Allen's idea is different from Ceylon. He doesn't care about the scale or the number of employees of the future Al Jazeera. He just needs to have a "local" TV station of his own to help promote it and consolidate the legal basis after he and Moza's plan is completed. As for the rest... just develop slowly.

As for these people, let them leave if they want. Wasting time on them will do no good except slowing down the progress of his plan. Since they don't want to follow Master Allen in the future, then don't regret it!

Let’s see if you will cry when you go to Da Ying in the future.

snort.
