Reborn as the richest man in India

It was already past 2 pm on the 26th when we arrived at Gupta Village.

When they learned that Qiaogo and Gal had returned from Bombay, the whole village immediately gathered around them, probably a thousand people.

The village is not rich, but it is not very poor either. After all, it is not a remote place. Especially some rural areas in mountainous areas with limited traffic almost maintain a primitive social state.

However, most people have never traveled far, and at most they have only been to the town.

Although Gal has been away from home for many years, the villagers who are familiar with him still recognize him.

As for Qiao Ge, they had never met him before, because it was his first time to return to his hometown.

But he still looks a bit like the elder Gupta.

"Master, this is your home." Under the guidance of Gal and the villagers, Qiaogo walked into his house in the village.

It is a two-story brick house, considered the newest and most elegant one in the village.

Although the old Gupta no longer lives here, he still spent money to renovate and rebuild the old house in the past few years.

Five elders in the village thought that the elder Gupta would come to attend the inauguration ceremony of the school, so they arranged for the villagers to clean the house. After all, no one had lived in it before and it was somewhat dusty.

But they didn't expect little Gupta to come.

Villages in India usually elect the five eldest or most respected elders to preside over affairs, which is equivalent to a "five-member elders group".

Whenever anything happens, five people will make a decision together.

The villagers were very surprised by the new things like TVs and radios brought back by Qiaogo and the others.

Some people knew about television, but no one could afford it.

As for the children, Qiaogo and Gal distributed some snacks such as cookies and candies to them, and everyone was very happy.

Under Gal's boast, especially after learning that Gal and Jajem were now the bosses of hundreds of men, many young people in the village were excited and wanted to follow Gal to Bombay to conquer the world.

Naturally, Gal did not dare to make the decision without authorization, so he asked Qiao Ge for instructions.

Qiao Ge thought for a while and agreed. He went into battle as a father and son soldier, brothers fighting tigers. India and China are still similar in this regard.

Many businesses are family businesses, filled with various relatives.

As far as the early stage is concerned, this is still reliable.

As for when it becomes bigger, it is necessary to introduce professional management talents, otherwise it will be difficult for the family business to grow.

Qiao Ge is just starting out now, so it’s no problem to have more people he trusts. People in the village are more or less related to each other.

For now, the industry I am involved in is still very traditional. It is not a big problem to join some young people, and it does not require a high level of education.

If there are those who are motivated, Qiao Ge can let them continue to study, and he can give them some important use in the future.

If they don't have this idea, let them follow Gal and Jiajiem to conquer the world on the road. At the critical moment, this is also a force that cannot be underestimated.

"Fortunately, I have a house." Qiao Ge secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he came, Old Gupta had said that the house was newly built, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. He was always a little worried that he would have difficulty adapting to the environment here. Fortunately, there was everything in this house, such as a toilet. There are also flushing taps installed, otherwise...

In India, toilet paper is not easy to buy.

In order to welcome Qiao Ge, a banquet was held in the village, several sheep and dozens of chickens were slaughtered, and the whole village became lively.

Jit Chamal did not leave because he heard that Qiaogo would go to town tomorrow, so he shamelessly asked Qiaogo to take him for a ride tomorrow.

Although Gal told the villagers that Jit was a liar, his scripture attainments were indeed very high, and many elderly people in the village still sat around him and listened to his sermons devoutly.

In this way, even if you want to drive him away, it is impossible.

There's nothing wrong with giving him a ride.

To Qiaogo's surprise, Kit didn't eat mutton and asked for some rice and vegetables.

According to him, even though he is not a Brahmin, he still has to strictly hold himself to the highest standards. He eats a vegetarian diet, does not drink any alcohol, and does not touch meat or fish. He has been doing this for decades.

Qiao Ge secretly murmured in his heart, this guy probably wants to find another temple and continue to pretend to be a Brahmin to search for treasures?

But these things have nothing to do with him.

Speaking of which, sheep and chickens are relatively poor in India. The status of cows is very high in India, and Hindus do not eat beef. People who believe in Islam do not eat pork, so most of the meat consumed is mutton, chicken, and of course There is some fish meat.

But India is also a big exporter of beef. Isn’t it strange?

In fact, cattle in India are also divided into grades. Zebu is the sacred cow. It is easy to recognize because it has a huge peak on the top of its neck. Other cattle have a low status and will be slaughtered, especially buffaloes, which are equivalent to the Dalit caste among cattle. They are simply not considered cattle.

They do the most tiring work, but in the end they can no longer do it, and they are slaughtered, which is pitiful and pitiful.

80% of the beef exported is buffalo meat.

Generally speaking, India's per capita consumption of meat is still very low. After all, most Indians advocate vegetarianism and have little demand for meat.

At eight o'clock in the morning on the next day, the 27th, Qiaogo, Gal, Rod and Kit got on the best ox cart in the village and headed for the town.

It was almost ten o'clock when I arrived at school, and the ceremony was scheduled for 11 o'clock.

In the town, Git and Qiaogo separated. Qiaogo paid no attention to his whereabouts.

Since it was still early, Qiao Ge and the other three went to the post office in the town to send letters.

These letters were sent to Rhodes' military friends who had served together in the past. Like Rhodes, these men had retired almost a year ago.

Last night, Qiao Ge visited Rhodes alone and asked him about his past in the military.

Rhodes didn't hide anything and told Qiao Ge everything.

Only then did Qiao Ge understand Rhodes’ amazing resume.

The period from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s was a very dangerous decade for Indian politicians at all levels. During this period, some politicians were frequently threatened by assassins and terrorists, and many were assassinated.

After Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated in 1984, India established a special protection force last year, 1985, to protect the safety of the Prime Minister and her relatives.

Rhodes was once an elite member of a special forces unit in India. He participated in the selection and came out on top with his outstanding performance. However, in the end he failed to enter the special protection unit because he was a pariah.

There are also some lower castes, such as Sudras, who are almost eliminated, even if you pass the assessment.

The current protection targets of the special protection force are only to provide protection for the sitting Prime Minister and his relatives, and do not include protection measures for the former Prime Minister of India and his family members. This also paved the way for the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi after he resigned as Prime Minister.

After Rajiv was assassinated, the Indian government extended the scope of protection to the former prime minister and his family, with the protection period being 10 years after the prime minister leaves office. Before the end of this period, relevant authorities will conduct a security review to assess the threats currently faced by the protected person and the need for extended protection. If necessary, the protection period will be extended for another 5 years.

Qiao Ge felt that he had found a treasure. No wonder Rhodes could easily deal with the three bodyguards on the train. Without a gun, he dare not say that he could fight all the bodyguards on the opposite side, but he could beat half of them without any problem. They were so powerful. .

Just because of his untouchable status, people like him were ruthlessly abandoned.

Qiao Ge doesn't care about this. As long as he has the ability, he will give generous treatment.

So when Rhodes said that he could try to contact a few of his friends who were frustrated and retired because they were not selected due to caste issues, Qiaogo immediately asked him to write a letter.

Each envelope also contained a note of 1,000 rupees, which was for their travel expenses to Mumbai.
