After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 271 Going to See the Banyan Tree
Are you going to India?

Li Zhuo didn't want to go there, because there were too many strange things going on in India.

Drinking water from the Ganges is trivial.

Eat cow dung cakes.

Open defecation occurs frequently, and toilet paper is not used.

How could he want to go back to the original feeling.

It is said that after eating a roadside stall, it is easy to transform into a jet fighter.

Clean and hygienic, brothers.

Female animals are not safe there, including the third sister-in-law. Fortunately, he is not a woman, otherwise he would not dare to go.

But complaints are complaints, and we still have to go.

Li Zhuo checked on the Internet, and if you fly from China to Meghalaya, don't even think about it, there is no flight.

This state is a very small state, separated from Assam, with an area of ​​only 2.2 square kilometers and a population of more than 200 million, which is really very small for a populous superpower like India.

The reason for the small number of people is also simple. It is located on the Shillong Plateau, with high mountains and dense forests, heavy rainfall, and life is inconvenient. Therefore, the population is relatively small compared to other states.

To go here, Li Zhuo planned to fly to New Delhi first, and then transfer from Delhi to Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya. After arriving there, he would look for the path of the ancient tree.

After thinking it over clearly, he called his secretary Niu Yingjie and asked her to apply for a visa to India for him, and help him order a plane ticket, the sooner the better.

In the name of tourism, Niu Yingjie found an intermediary agency to expedite the process. After Li Zhuo flew back to Hangzhou from the imperial capital, she had already completed the relevant documents and booked the flight that afternoon.

Li Zhuo went to the company and got the visa and other documents from the secretary.

He looked at his watch, and there was still some free time, so he called Xiao Bai into the office.

After Xiaobai came in, Li Zhuo took her hand and chatted, asking how she knew about the company's finances.

Xiaobai was quite attached to him, but because she was in the office, she just held Li Zhuo's hand against her cheek, chatted to comfort him, and then smiled and said:
"I feel that I have learned a lot and learned a lot of new knowledge, but it is still far from being able to grasp the overall situation."

While stroking her delicate cheeks, Li Zhuo asked:
"So if you were promoted to treasurer, would you be able to do it?"

Xiaobai pursed his lips and smiled, looking cute and gentle, shook his head and said:

"I'm afraid it won't work. At least let me study for another half a year. After the annual tax filing season is over, maybe I can say that I am familiar with most of them."

"Okay, let's wait until the feeling is too bad..." Li Zhuo also knew the truth that haste makes waste.

It was almost time, Niu Yingjie knocked on the door to remind her.

Li Zhuo stood up and said:

"Why don't you take me to the airport, I'm going abroad again."

"Well, okay, then I'll take a leave of absence first." Xiao Bai went out for a while, and then went to the parking lot to wait for him in advance.

Li Zhuo carried a backpack and sat in Xiaobai's Porsche with ease.

Li Zhuo asked casually:

"How about driving this car? I'll buy you a sports car someday? You can drive it out to relax when you have time."

Xiaobai reversed the car, shook his head and said:
"No, I don't like sports cars. This car is very comfortable to drive, and it is already very eye-catching in the company. A sports car is too high-profile."

"Well, you drive it first, and I will buy you a Bentley Continental GT later, or other cars are also fine."

"Well," Xiaobai smiled at him, "Let's talk about it later, I really like this car now."

Xiaobai drove steadily and sent him to Xiaoshan Airport smoothly. After parking the car, he sent him to the security check.

Before leaving, Xiaobai hugged him with some reluctance.

Li Zhuo caressed her beautiful hair, held her in his arms, kissed her cheeks a few times on her beautiful hair, and said:

"wait me back."

"Well," Xiaobai whispered, "wait for you, then you should pay attention to safety."

The two separated, Li Zhuo turned around and queued up to pass the security check, while Xiao Bai waited for him to go in, and left reluctantly when he was completely out of sight.

……

After nearly 8 hours of flight, Li Zhuo's Air China finally landed at Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi.

It was already past 11:2 p.m. in North China, but New Delhi was two and a half hours later than the capital, so it was almost 9:[-] p.m. local time when Li Zhuo got off the plane.

After coming out of the exit gate of the airport, Li Zhuo saw the pick-up personnel from the Leela Palace Hotel in New Delhi.

The secretary helped him book a 120-square-meter supreme suite with a small swimming pool in this five-star hotel. The price was 8.57 Indian rubles, equivalent to 7200 yuan.

1 RMB can be exchanged for 11.9 rubles.

After checking in, Li Zhuo took a look in the room and confirmed that the room was clean and tidy. The swimming pool was not big, but the water was clean. The various facilities looked a little old, but it didn't affect the use. More importantly, it had a bathroom .

That's enough, at least you don't have to go to the streets to find public toilets with poor sanitation.

As for food, it was getting late at this time, and he didn't dare to wander around the streets, so he ordered a dinner from a Chinese restaurant called "Dynasty" not far from the hotel.

What Kung Pao Chicken, Mapo Tofu, Steamed Sea Bass, Stir-fried Siji Qing, etc., and a bowl of rice.

The taste of the dishes is average, the rice is relatively hard and not very tasty, only the mapo tofu is not bad.

Well, at least after eating, Li Zhuo said that nothing happened.

He had a good night's sleep that night, and the next morning, he boarded a small plane to Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya.

It doesn't feel like it.

The weather was hot, and the cooling effect on the small plane was poor. Li Zhuo arrived in Shillong almost sweating.

After coming out of the small and poor airport, Li Zhuo was caught in the rain.

It rains a lot here, and the lower half of the airport building is wet.

Fortunately, this is still a tourist area, and some tourists will come here, so relatively speaking, the locals don't seem to be so curious about foreigners.

Li Zhuo checked on his mobile phone for a long time, and finally chose a hotel called Marriott Courtyard in Shillong. This hotel is already the best and the highest-rated hotel in the area.

Li Zhuo estimates that it can reach the level of the domestic Samsung, and the price of any room has reached 1.2 rubles per night, which is almost equivalent to 1000 RMB per night.

As for the conditions, to be honest, Li Zhuo didn't have too much expectations. After checking in, he found that it was pretty good. At least the restaurant where he ate was clean and modern. Although the room he lived in was not big, it was also relatively clean. There was still a bathroom and toilet paper .

After checking in, he contacted the front desk and asked the hotel to send a car to go out with him, preparing to go to Lipoyi.

The hotel provided this kind of service, but Li Zhuo was not at ease with the Indian driver, and finally hired a local Chinese guide before setting off for Ripoi.

The distance from Shillong to Ripoi is very short, but the traffic in India is not very good. Fortunately, this is a tourist area, otherwise there may not even be a country road with potholes.

After arriving in Lipoyi, Li Zhuo hired a local elephant team on the grounds of looking at the scenery of the plateau.

From here to the mountains, cars are useless, and we can only rely on domesticated Asian elephants.

Li Zhuo paid for the three elephants of the entire elephant team. The price for a day is 2 rubles, which is more than 1600 RMB, which is not expensive.

Afterwards, Li Zhuo sat on the back of a tall Asian elephant, and a skilled mahout sat in front, and began to march into the mountains.

The Chinese guide and the driver of the hotel also sat on the elephants and set off together.

Sitting on an elephant is a wise choice, at least it is safer to walk, and you are not afraid of tigers, leopards, black bears and the like.

These beasts are real in the fringes of India, and they sometimes attack people.

Li Zhuo swayed on the elephant's back for a long time, and finally reached the halfway up a hill. The guide sat behind and said to Li Zhuo:
"Sir, this is where the Khasi people live. They also have some characteristics of a matrilineal clan society. Women have a higher status. Usually, sons have nothing and have to rely on women to live. It is a bit close to the domestic marriage..."

Li Zhuo also found it interesting.

Continuing to walk forward, Li Zhuo felt the banyan tree surrounded by cigarettes.
