Last year, Trivananthapuram International Airport was expanded, and now it is very convenient to take off and land giant Boeing 747 passenger planes, otherwise Zhang Nan would have to take his 767, which is obviously not as comfortable as this giant passenger plane.

When I got off the plane, I saw that Davenral Valmar was already waiting on the side of the tarmac with a convoy: the descendants of the Tuwang family who still have great influence and enough strength are privileges!

The sea breeze blowing slightly from the west carried a bit of fresh ocean breath, and Yasuko Sawaguchi, who got off the plane with Zhang Nan, said in Chinese: "Fortunately, there is no curry flavor." ”

"Curry?

"Said on TV. ”

Zhang Nan said as he walked: "This is Kerala, the best place in India, not the airports of Mumbai and New Delhi. Also, the life of the Varmar family is very Westernized, and the conditions of the manor are no worse than those on Long Island, so you don't have to worry about those horrible Indian legends. ”

After smiling at her own woman, she walked up the gangway and shook hands with Davenral Valma, "My dear friend, here I am again!"

Davenlar also smiled and said, "Mr. Alan and his friends are always welcome to the Varmar family, and it is our honor to have you here!"

"Alright, Dawen, we're all old friends, can we stop being so polite?"

"Haha..."

After introducing each other, a group of people got on the bus.

is no longer an old-fashioned Rolls-Royce, Zhang Nan gave the old Valma a bulletproof Rolls-Royce before, which will become Zhang Nan's car, but the driver has been replaced by a "United Forces" bodyguard who arrived early.

The Varma family is a typical family with a big business, or a partner plus the real emperor here, Zhang Nan's safety here can be guaranteed, and the housekeepers at home did not ask for a special bulletproof car to be transported in advance.

Old Valmar greeted old friends in his own car, and Davenral-Walmart got on another brand new regular Rolls-Royce.

This is an old habit, the guest brings a female companion, and the host's family does not sit in the same car.

The car left the airport, and the scene outside made Yasuko Sawaguchi a little strange.

Noticing that she had been looking at the "Western view" outside the car window, Zhang Nan said: "It's very clean, right, it's not like in India." ”

"Well, unlike what you see on TV, even Martha said that the biggest feature of Indian cities is that they are chaotic, basically out of order. ”

Martha is Madehuri Dixit, and she has a very good personal relationship with Yasuko Sawaguchi, and has lived with her for a long time, and has told her a lot about India.

"Because this is Kerala, the most unin-India place, this natural scenery and climatic conditions are good, there is no heat, and the people who live here should be the most peaceful and happy in all of India.

Religions can coexist in harmony, and half of the government's budget is spent on education and the health of ordinary citizens.

Did you know that the female literacy rate in India as a whole is only about 35%, but the literacy rate of adults in Kerala is 95%, regardless of gender, which is considered the world's advanced level.

The average medical conditions here are the best in India, the birth rate is lower than that of the United States, and it is still declining, and the average life expectancy is close to the level of the United States and Western Europe.

It's really not like India, where you don't find much of a sense of superiority in the streets of Thiruvananthapuram that lags behind the rest of the country.

By the way, the peasants here also like to read newspapers, there are 30 million people in the whole of Kerala, 80% of them in the countryside, there are more than 5,000 libraries in more than 900 township-level administrative units, and more than 3,000 newspapers and magazines are published in the whole state.

Each township here has its own newspaper, and it will be distributed to every household on a regular basis, I can't say everyone, but almost every household has the habit of reading newspapers. ”

With an average of 20,000 or 30,000 people in each township, and a literacy rate of more than 95 percent, it is normal to run a newspaper that is published every other time.

But in the eyes of Yasuko Sawaguchi, how can this be seen and how abnormal-"Is this still India?"

Why is this happening?

Where have the promised sacred cows scurried, the flowery tricycles on a rampage, the garbage, the sewage flowing everywhere, and the slums gone?

It's not scientific!

When he saw a lot of sickle and hammer signs on the streets, Zhang Nan said to Yasuko Sawaguchi: "This is not like India, not only because the environment and climate here are good, what is planted, the marine fishing industry is also developed, and there are a large number of people working outside India, and sending money back stimulates the economy."

The most important thing is because of this!"

Pointing to the bright red signs outside the window, "Under the light of the sickle and hammer flag, there is no miracle that cannot be done."

This is India, but it is the least India-like.

But this is all the modern side, and when you get to Varma's house, you can see the traditional side of Indian society, where people are hierarchical, and the caste system still exists everywhere.

India is so magical, where modernity and tradition can coexist without contradiction. ”

After the convoy arrived within the territory of Valma's house, which was divided by different road conditions, Yasuko Sawaguchi, just like Alice at the beginning, finally understood that there was a creature in this world called "local tyrant"!

Local tyrants, so proud that they are inhumane!

Strictly speaking, Zhang Nan, who is so poor that he only has money left, is not a local tyrant, because his industry is basically very modern except for the mineral energy "local boss" industry, especially those listed companies whose assets have been so much that the financial department of the parent company cannot achieve real-time statistics, is definitely at the forefront of the world's technology and financial industry.

But Varma is really dirty, although he has a stake in the Jia Yin family's diamond group, and also invested in some American stocks recommended by Zhang Nan, plus some real estate projects in Mumbai, but it is still dirty.

The Varma family is rooted in the cultivation of peppercorns and other agricultural products, and they are still the largest landowners in Kerala, so how can they not be soiled?

Forget about the terrifying territory, when the huge ancient palace-like manor comes into view... Not to mention Yasuko Sawaguchi this time, even Zhang Nan was taken aback!

Starting from the gate of the manor, the manor servants dressed in traditional clothes are lined up on both sides, and there can be at least hundreds of them at a glance!

Some were not yet servants, for near the palace, many people were waiting in splendid costumes, as if they were people of high morals and castes in the villages and towns of the Varmar family's domain.

The convoy passed slowly, and everyone bent slightly to salute the bulletproof car that Zhang Nan was sitting in.

That's not all, on both sides of the passage in front of the palace in the manor, more than a dozen elephants covered with colorful ornaments are lined up on both sides, and the rider riding on the elephant's neck is even more dressed in the frame of the elephant's back, and they are also holding spears of amazing length.

When Zhang Nan got out of the car, all the warriors with spears on their backs raised their spears with small buntings and shouted three times in a language that Zhang Nan did not understand!

Old Valmar and his brother, as well as Davenral's brother and family, welcomed him at the door.

Although I don't understand how this trip could have such an exaggerated welcome ceremony, Zhang Nan still greeted Yasuko Sawaguchi and immediately greeted him to shake hands with old Varma.

Old Varma was dressed in a robe full of precious stones today, with a large chain of gold and precious stones hanging around his neck, and the hat on his head was even more starry - Zhang Nan could see that this high hat was inlaid with at least a thousand diamonds.

The outfit is not only gorgeous, but also the precipitation of the years.

Before Zhang Nan could speak, Old Valma said loudly: "The Valma family welcomes His Royal Highness Prince Allen with the most sincere heart!"

"Hello, dear Mr. Valma, who are you?"

"Your Royal Highness Prince Allen, you are the first prince to visit the Varmar family after the Indian government stripped us of the title of king..."

Well, the new decision of the Botswana Falekaupule regarding the title of "prince and prince" has come here, and the old Walma has come out with the pomp and circumstance of officially welcoming the king decades ago.
