British 1986

There are beautiful women and beautiful scenery, and you can watch and play at the same time, and play and watch at the same time.

It would be better if there was another hotpot that could sing songs. Unfortunately, there is no hotpot here, only curry. Alan doesn't like Huangbulaji's curry very much.

The small town of Tehokul is said to be a small town, but in fact it is a big village, dirty and messy.

As soon as the train arrives at the station, Allen can no longer enjoy some of the privileges of the nobility, such as getting off first.

The untouchables here get off first!

No one can help it, no one wants to have a pariah fall on their head just as they walk out of the carriage with their luggage, right?

Those feet that haven't been washed in years or even decades just step on your head, and it definitely doesn't feel good!

We can only wait until the untouchables hanging outside the train are gone before the passengers in the carriage can get off safely.

We rented a fleet of cars here in advance, and there was a bodyguard who prepared the car to receive us. The car was not a good car, it was a Toyota off-road vehicle.

This thing seems to be selling well abroad. It is cheap and durable, and its right-hand drive is also suitable for India.

After more than half an hour's drive, the convoy entered the urban area of ​​Mangalore.

Aishwarya Rai has been blushing ever since she got off the train. Although her behavior of playing games with Allen in the train was only seen by some untouchables along the road, she just felt as if the whole world had seen it. Likewise, even with the blindfold on, she was extremely shy.

She hadn't regained her composure for two days, and now she was lying on Allen's lap in the car, asking her questions without raising her head.

"We're almost at your house, aren't you going to go back and have a look?"

Allen rubbed Aishwarya Rai's shoulders. The more this little girl got along with her, the more interesting she became.

He just told her that he would open a company for her, and even before taking any actual actions, she was completely obedient to him. Although Allen was not lying to her, he still felt sincerely that the girl here was easy to lie to. !

"I'm not going, let's go directly to the hotel."

Aishwarya Rai said in a muffled voice that she didn't want to go home. Her father was a naval officer and could only come back on vacation throughout the year. It was pointless for her to go home now.

"Well."

Allen patted the passenger seat and said, "Do you have any plans for today?"

Xiao Shitou looked at Allen and asked him, then turned to report: "Master, according to our people, the people in Bangalore are waiting for you here."

"Oh? Did they catch up here? So fast?"

Allen was stunned. He was planning to play here for two days before talking about it. Unexpectedly, the people over there actually came after him. This is the end of attracting investment, okay!

"Haha, they became anxious as soon as we mentioned your identity. They never fulfilled their responsibility to entertain you well. Now they only received the news after you left, and they are anxious."

Xiao Shitou said proudly.

The hereditary earl of Great Britain is hard to say elsewhere, but in the countries within the Commonwealth, he is very popular no matter where he goes!

What's more, before coming this time, the itinerary reported to the other party included an investment inspection. Now that Allen has arrived in Bangalore, he stayed for one night and then left. The officials in Bangalore thought that Allen, an aristocratic gentleman, was dissatisfied. They didn't provide good hospitality and left in a rage.

In this case, anyone would have to send someone to chase him.

"Haha, okay, what is their purpose here?"

After listening to Xiao Shitou's report, Allen didn't care. He just came when he came, which saved him from running back and forth.

"I didn't mention this. They arrived the night before yesterday and were at the hotel we booked. Yesterday, a second group of people came, waiting for you to arrive."

"Well, let them hang out for now. We'll talk to them in the hotel conference room after I've rested in the afternoon. Then you can tell them to be ready."

"clear!"

Little Shitou nodded, quickly took down notes, and arranged today's schedule. The young master has had enough fun and has to start handling official business!

This is too hard work. I have only been playing for a few days and now I have to work again.

The young master is really worried about the empire.

India's administrative agencies copied some from the British and some from other countries. Anyway, it's a bit of a hodgepodge.

There is also a parliament here, which is a bicameral system modeled on the British model.

The so-called House of Lords in India is the House of Federation. This is a permanent institution. The people in it are said to be elected, but they are very particular about their origins and resumes. Although there are no hard and fast rules and requirements, if ordinary civilians want to enter, they can only do so in their dreams. .

India's lower house, the Lok Sabha, is elected through elections every five years.

In addition to the parliamentary system, the official system is also different from the outside world.

For example, mayors in other countries, at least regardless of other things, still have some rights, but it is different in India. The mayor here has nothing to do with things.

From a state perspective, the states here are like small countries. For ease of understanding, they can be treated as a province.

The most effective speaker in a state is the chief minister, which is equivalent to the position of a senior provincial official.

There are many different officials at the state level, such as state ministers, chief secretaries, state department secretaries, district commissioners, mayors, deputy commissioners, district magistrates, etc.

This regional commissioner is the one in charge of affairs at the municipal level below and has the greatest regional power!

They are civil servants, not elected, but tested. As for how to take the exam, whether there is any shady evidence, etc., there is no need to ask more about this. Everyone knows the British administrative system.

But the district commissioner must be on the same page as the boss above, the chief minister.

The people who came to see Allen this time were the secretary of the regional commissioner in charge of the Bangalore area and the secretary of a state minister who came down from above.

The identities of these two people are very clever. They can directly contact the people behind them. In other words, their arrival represents the attitude of the entire state of Karnataka.

These two people with heavyweight positions were sent all the way to Mangalore to wait for Allen, just to let this noble man from Great Britain see their attitude.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, after taking a nap, Allen finally packed up, wore a very formal suit, and came to the hotel conference room.

The entire administrative team, a dozen people, is already waiting for him here. They have been waiting for Allen in this conference room since lunch.

Compared with the common black and thin ordinary untouchables outside, these Indian elites are very different from those Indians in terms of skin color and mental outlook!

As soon as Allen entered the door, there was a sound of stool legs scraping against the ground.

This time the meeting was more formal. More than a dozen people bent down and saluted, saying that they welcomed His Excellency the Earl of Carmarthen to visit Karnataka, India. The reception was not good in the past few days and so on.

Allen set his sights on a tall Indian, who was the secretary of the regional commissioner. What he said represented to a certain extent what the regional commissioner wanted to say to Allen.

The other party is not sure about Allen's attitude now. These people come here to check on the front line and explore the enemy's situation. If the atmosphere is good and this Excellency is easy to talk to, the people behind them will come over to talk to Allen in detail.

This set of patterns was also played by Indians who imitated Great Britain. Everyone has the same pattern, and Allen is used to it.

"Sit down. Thank you for waiting here for me. Doesn't it affect your work?"

Allen consciously walked to the main seat and sat down. Aishwarya Rai was dressed in professional attire, like a secretary. She was holding a small notebook. She did not sit at the conference table, but sat next to Allen. rear side.

After the servant brought Allen tea and put several documents in front of him, he asked the question with a kind face.

"No, no, it's us who have caused trouble for you!"

"Haha. What is the purpose of coming to me this time?"

Allen didn't mention investment at all, pretending to be confused and looking at these Indians.

"."

The head of the Commissioner's Secretary had a calm expression. He glanced at Allen, then at the bodyguards at the door, and then continued: "When the bodyguards left by Your Excellency found us, we knew that Your Excellency had left Bangalore. Our commissioners heard that you sent bodyguards to inquire about information around the industrial park two days ago? If you want to know anything, we can tell you personally."

The Indians were slow to respond, but their methods were adequate. After learning that Allen had been to Bangalore, they spread their hands and quickly found out when Allen had arrived in Bangalore and what he had done there.

In particular, he sent people to the industrial park to inquire about the situation, which attracted the attention of the regional commissioner.

With this news, they will also speculate, thinking that Allen is ready to invest in their IT industry. This is Bangalore's main push and the most lacking overseas investment area. Coupled with his aristocratic status, this is enough to arouse He took it seriously and reported it to the higher authorities, and finally even Bangli knew about it.

Only then a group of people were organized, and they came after Alan. It was only when they were halfway there that they realized that Alan's final destination was Mangalore, so they turned around and came directly to Mangalore. I'm waiting for Allen.

Seeing that these Indians only mentioned that they had sent people to inquire about the information, but did not mention the investment, and only hinted that they wanted to mention it first, Allen smiled.

Do you still want to carry it like this?

He grabbed the information on the table and put it aside. There were several newspapers at the bottom. They were all the same newspaper, the same one that Allen saw that day, the alarmist newspaper that weaved his crimes.

Throwing the newspaper to the Indians next to him, Allen pointed at the newspaper, regardless of whether they had read the newspaper or not, and said directly: "I have only been in India for a few days, and I think the atmosphere here is very bad. Dear guest, why is your newspaper so hostile? I don’t know which editor or reporter the report on this article came from. I only saw the slander and arrangement of me. Is this your attitude towards investors? "

The newspaper slowly reached the commissioner's secretary. When he picked it up and read it, he saw that the headlines were full of hostility.

"Win the Game by Fouling: On the Three Deadly Sins of the British Nobles" was the title. He could feel the malice coming towards him without reading the content.

He knows very well the virtues of a British man!

Unexpectedly, your Excellency suddenly stopped talking about investment and turned the topic to the newspaper.

Looking at the news in the newspaper, the commissioner's secretary had a headache, and it was going to be difficult now.

He was a member of the visiting delegation and a well-known nobleman. The game that day was not broadcast live or recorded. Even if he really committed a foul and acted rogue, he dared to publish such a report based on hearsay without evidence.

If it were a more generous nobleman, the other party might not care about such a thing, but it is obvious that the man in front of him is not such a generous nobleman.

The Crown Prince of Great Britain is used to being criticized by the media. Do they think they can criticize at will when facing nobles?

Has anyone ever seen a newspaper criticizing aristocrats casually?

Especially British newspapers, do they dare?

People in the royal family usually don't share the same knowledge as these newspapers for the sake of face, but the nobles are different. They are very low-key and have deep penetration into all walks of life. If a newspaper really dares to publish a newspaper without evidence, , criticizing a certain nobleman indiscriminately.

Haha, if you meet a petty person, death is the least serious outcome.

Now this newspaper in India has committed a big taboo. They dare to make accusations without any evidence.

Now being called out to someone's face means that they can give an explanation, and this matter will not be easy to fool.

"Sir, this newspaper does not belong to our state of Karnataka. Can you please hand it over in some time?"

The secretary of the commissioner wants to fish in troubled waters and brush this matter aside. Anyway, it’s not like they have never done this before. They diverted the trouble to the east first. Now they only talk about investment, not the things that hurt the feelings of both parties. Son.

"ha?"

Allen narrowed his eyes and smiled, are you going to play this trick on me?

I don’t care where your newspaper is.

Since it is an Indian newspaper, Allen is dependent on them. As long as the newspaper slanders him, it will definitely be impossible for Allen's petty mind to live happily in the past!

Today they dare to defame themselves in newspapers, but tomorrow they will dare to make up fake news about themselves?

Will he dare to steal his title the day after tomorrow?

You dare to smear yourself without evidence. Who taught you to play like this? This is called having no rules!

This wind cannot last long!

But now that he is in India and is unfamiliar with the place, he can't just send bodyguards there to arrest him, right?

Under such circumstances, if you want to vent your anger, you have to play some tricks.

What routine?

Killing someone with a borrowed knife, calling a deer a horse, striking first to make a strong move, killing a chicken to scare the monkeys!

Whose knife can I borrow?

Haha, isn’t it just now that someone comes to your door with a knife?

It’s not a waste if you don’t use it.
