England 1986

Chapter 332 Negotiations

There are beautiful women and you can see the scenery, play while watching, and watch while playing.
It would be even better if there is another hot pot that can sing, but unfortunately there is no hot pot here, only curry, and Alan doesn't like curry that is too yellow.

The small town of Tejokur is said to be a small town, but it is actually a big village, dirty and messy.

As soon as the train arrives at the station, Allen will not be able to enjoy certain privileges of the nobility here, such as getting off the train first.

Here is the untouchable get off first!

There's no way, who wouldn't want to just walk out of the carriage with their luggage when a pariah falls on their head?

Those years, or even decades, feet that haven't been washed right on top of your head don't feel good!

The passengers in the carriage can only get off the train with peace of mind after the untouchables hanging outside the train are gone.

I have rented the fleet here in advance, and there is a bodyguard who is here to prepare for the reception. The car is not a good car, it is a Toyota off-road vehicle.

This thing seems to sell well abroad, it is cheap and durable, and its right rudder is also suitable for India.

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

Aishwarya Rai's face has been flushed since she got off the train. Although her behavior of playing games with Allen on the train was only seen by some untouchables along the road, she felt as if the whole world saw it Likewise, even with the blindfold on, she's too shy.

She didn't recover for two days, and now she was lying on Allen's lap in the car, and she didn't look up when she asked her a question.

"It's 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 felt.

He just told her that he wanted to start a company for her, and before he took any real action, she was obedient to himself. Although Alan didn't lie to her, he still felt from the bottom of his heart that the girls here are easy to deceive. !

"I won't go, let's go directly to the hotel."

Aishwarya Rai said in a muffled voice that she didn't want to go home. His father was a naval officer and he could only come back during vacations throughout the year. It didn't mean much for her to go home now.

"Well."

Allen patted the co-pilot's seat and said, "Are there any arrangements for today?"

Little Stone saw Alan asking him, and then turned his head to report: "Master, according to our people, the people from Bangalore are waiting for you here."

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

Allen was taken aback for a moment, he was going to play here for two days before talking about it, but he didn't expect the people over there to chase after him. This is the end of investment, it's okay!

"Haha, as soon as we mentioned your identity, they got anxious. They didn't fulfill their responsibility to entertain you well, but now they received the news after you left. They got anxious."

Little Stone said proudly.

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

What's more, before coming this time, in the itinerary that I informed the other party, there was an item of investment inspection. Now that Alan has arrived in Bangalore, he stayed for one night and left. The officials in Bangalore thought that the nobleman Alan They didn't entertain well, so they left in a fit of anger.

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

"Haha, okay, what's their purpose here?"

After listening to Xiao Shitou's report, Alan didn't care, he came as soon as he came, which happened to save him from running back and forth.

"I didn't say that. They arrived the night before yesterday, at the hotel we reserved. The second group of people came yesterday, waiting for you to arrive."

"Well, let them hang out first. After I have a rest in the afternoon, I will talk about it in the hotel conference room. You will inform them to be ready when the time comes."

"understand!"

Xiao Shitou nodded, quickly wrote down the notes, and arranged today's schedule. The young master has had enough fun, and he is about to start dealing with official duties!

This is too hard work. I have only played for a few days, and I am going to work again.

The young master really broke his heart for the empire.

India's administrative agencies have copied some from Great Britain, and also copied 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 upper house in India is the Federal House. This is a permanent body. The people in it say they are elected, but they are very particular about their background and experience. Although there are no hard and fast rules and requirements, if ordinary people want to enter, they can only enter in their dreams. up.

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

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

For example, the mayor, the mayor of other countries, at least no matter what other things, still has some rights, but it is different in India, the mayor here has nothing to do.

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

And the most useful thing for a state to speak is the chief minister, which is equivalent to the position of a provincial senior official.

And there are many officials under the state, such as state ministers, chief secretaries, state department secretaries, district commissioners, mayors, deputy commissioners, county heads, etc.

This district commissioner is the most in charge at the municipal level in the following places and has the greatest power in the district!
They are civil servants, not elected, but tested. As for how to test and whether there are shady things, don't ask too much about it. Everyone who understands the administrative system of Great Britain understands it.

But the regional commissioner must be of one mind with the boss above, the chief minister.

The ones who came to look for Allen this time were the secretary of the district 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 ingenious. They can directly contact the people behind them. In other words, their arrival represents the attitude of the entire Karnataka state.

The people who sent these two heavyweight positions came all the way to Mangalore to wait for Allen, just to let the nobleman from Great Britain see their attitude.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Alan, who had a nap and came back to sleep, finally packed up, dressed in a very formal suit, and came to the hotel meeting room.

A dozen or so members of the entire administrative team are already waiting for him here. They have been waiting for Alan in this meeting room since they finished their lunch at noon.

Compared with the common black and thin ordinary untouchables outside, these Indian elites have a big gap with those Indians in terms of skin color and mental outlook!

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

This time the meeting was more formal. More than a dozen people bowed their heads and saluted, saying that Lord Carmarthen was welcome to come to Karnataka, India for a visit. The reception was not good a few days ago and so on.

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

The other party is not sure about Alan's attitude now. These people are just here to fight the front station to find out the enemy's situation. If the atmosphere is good and this Your Excellency is easy to talk, the people behind them will come and talk to Alan in detail.

This set of patterns is also played by Indians after learning from Great Britain. Everyone has the same pattern, and Allen is used to it.

"Sit down, thank you for waiting for me here, did it affect your work?"

Allen consciously walked to the main seat and sat down. Aishwarya Rai was wearing professional attire, like a secretary, holding a small notebook by herself, and instead of sitting at the conference table, she sat at Allen's rear side.

After the servant brought tea to Allen and put several documents in front of him, he asked kindly.

"No, no, we are causing trouble for Your Excellency!"

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

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

"."

The headed commissioner's secretary looked calm, glanced at Alan, then at the bodyguards at the door, and then continued: "When the bodyguards left by you found us, we didn't know that you had left Bangalore. Our commissioner heard that you sent bodyguards to inquire around the industrial park two days ago? If you think about it, we can tell you in person."

The Indians were slow to respond, but their methods were okay. After knowing that Allen had been to Bangalore, they spread out their hands, and quickly found out when Allen arrived in Bangalore and what he did when he got here.

In particular, he sent people to the industrial park to inquire about the situation, which made the district commissioner take care of it.

With this news, they will also push back, thinking that Alan is preparing to invest in their IT industry here. This is the main promotion in Bangalore, and it is also the most lacking overseas investment field. Coupled with his status as an aristocrat, this is enough to attract attention. I paid attention to it, and reported it layer by layer, and finally even Bangli knew about it.

It was only then that a group of people was organized, and they came after Alan. When they were halfway, they realized that Alan's final destination was Mangalore, so they turned around and came directly to Mangalore. Er waited for Allen.

Seeing that this group of Indians only mentioned that they sent people to inquire about the news, they didn't mention the investment, but only hinted that they wanted to mention it first, Allen smiled.

Do you still want to carry it?
Grab the information on the table and put it aside, there are several newspapers at the bottom, all of which are the same newspaper, the alarmist newspaper that Alan saw that day and weaved his crime.

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. Honorable guest, why is your newspaper so hostile? I don’t know which editor or reporter came from the report, but I only saw smearing and editing of me. Is this your attitude towards investors?”

The newspaper slowly passed to the commissioner's secretary. When he picked up the newspaper and looked at it, the headlines on it were full of hostility.

"Winning the game by fouls, on the three deadly crimes of the British nobles" is just such a title, and he can feel the malice coming to his face without reading the content.

What is the virtue of an Englishman, he knows too well!
I didn't expect that your Excellency suddenly didn't mention the matter of investment, but turned the topic to the newspaper.

Looking at the news in the newspaper, the commissioner's secretary had a headache, and it was not easy to deal with it now.

He is a member of the visiting group and a well-known nobleman. There was no live broadcast or video recording of the game that day. Even if he really committed a foul and played a rogue, without evidence, he dared to publish such a report based on hearsay.
If this kind of thing is replaced by a more magnanimous nobleman, the other party may not care about it, but it is obvious that the person in front of him is not such a magnanimous nobleman.

The Crown Prince of Great Britain is used to being criticized by the media. Do they think that they can criticize at will when facing nobles?
Has anyone seen any newspaper criticizing the nobility at will?
Especially British newspapers, do they dare?
People in the royal family generally do not have the same knowledge as these newspapers for the sake of face, but the nobles are different. They are very low-key and have penetrated deeply into all walks of life. If a newspaper really dares to publish it without evidence , Criticizing a certain nobleman indiscriminately.

Hehe, if you meet a narrow-minded person, death is the lightest result.

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

Now being pointed out in person by others means to let them give an explanation, so this matter is not easy to be fooled.

"Your Excellency, this newspaper is not from our Karnataka state. Can you hand it over to me later?"

The secretary of the commissioner wants to fish in troubled waters and leave this matter behind. Anyway, it’s not like they haven’t done such a thing like a dead fellow but not a poor one. Let’s divert the trouble to the east first, and now we only talk about investment, not about things that hurt the feelings of both parties. Son.

"what?"

Allen squinted and smiled, play this game for me?
I don't care where your newspaper is
Since it is an Indian newspaper, Allen relies on them. As long as the newspaper blackmails him, it is definitely impossible for Allen to pass happily with his narrow-minded stomach!
Today they dare to blackmail themselves in the newspaper, but tomorrow they dare to make up fake news and arrange themselves?
Did he dare to snatch his title the day after tomorrow?

If you dare to blackmail yourself without evidence, who taught you to play like this, this is called no rules!

The wind can't last long!
But now he is in India, and he is not familiar with the place here, so he can't just send bodyguards to arrest him, right?
Under such circumstances, if you want to vent your anger, you have to play some routines.

What routine?
Kill people with a knife, turn a deer into a horse, strike first, kill chickens to scare monkeys!
Whose knife do you borrow?

Haha, isn't this the moment someone took the initiative to bring a knife to the door?
No need for nothing.
