Chapter 368: The Kader Family

……

Wealthy people enjoy their wealth in content, and they don't have to worry about those at the bottom hating the rich. Poor people yearn for wealth, but they feel that they should sincerely atone for their sins in this life to the gods, so that they can become rich in the next life. Therefore, Mushik Ambani, India's richest man, can spend a billion dollars in the center of Mumbai to build a 27-storey, 37,000-square-meter mansion larger than the Palace of Versailles in France, but only for his family of five to live in, without worrying about harsh criticism from any class.

If this had been changed in China, it would have been attacked by the whole society a long time ago.

"Then if you were to be a rich man in such a society, would you be willing?"

"Unless I'm born Indian...!" Rebecca shook her head.

Guo Shouyun understood her thoughts, but if it were him, he wouldn't want to. In a deeply polarized, almost lifeless society, it is too depressing.

"Boss, we're here!"

Matthew on the co-pilot reminded.

Guo Shouyun nodded, looking at the gorgeous and magnificent outside, the building that was once used as the palace of the princely state of Travankol, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Although more than 70% of India's population is poor, the circle of the wealthy is still enviable.

"Last year's noodles knocked on the door!"

Matthew nodded, quickly opened the car door and walked down.

With Guo Shouyun's current relationship with the Kader family, he will naturally not be rejected. After the closed black wrought iron gate opened, the convoy drove in.

The convoy drove along a straight garden road paved with stone slabs, surrounded by tall buildings with three or even four storeys high and elaborate reliefs on the facades.

Unlike European and American manors, Indian royal palaces do not have large gardens and lawns, and there are no fountains in the middle of the 'concave' buildings, but all squares paved with smooth stone slabs. Judging by its wear and tear, it is clear that it has been around for quite some time.

When Guo Shouyun's motorvoy stopped in the square, Sukh Singh Kadeer, whom he had met several times, had already brought his family to greet him at the door.

"Mr. Kadr, I heard that Vikas was discharged from the hospital today, so I came here to congratulate you!"

"It is an honor for us to be able to visit Mr. Guo. Vikas...!"

Vikas Singh Kadeer, who was standing behind him, nodded, stepped forward and folded his hands and thanked Guo Shouyun: "Thank you Mr. Guo for your help when you were at the Taj Mahal Hotel, otherwise I am afraid there would be no Vikas Singh Kadeer!"

"Maybe it's God's will that I deliberately appeared there and just saved you!" Guo Shouyun's words seemed so sincere.

Vikas smiled and nodded, "This dress is very suitable for Mr. Guo." ”

"I think so, too!"

After a brief pleasantries, Sukh Singh Kader took over the topic.

"Mr. Guo, these are my family members, let me introduce you to them. ”

After Guo Shouyun nodded, "This is my second brother, Summit Singh Kadeer, who is currently the Minister of Finance of Tamil Nadu. ”

In India, a man's obesity with a beer belly is a symbol of wealth and status, so this Summit Singh Kader also has this condition.

"Mr. Summit, we at Anping are preparing to open up the electricity and gas market in Tamil Nadu, and we hope that you can provide some help when the time comes. ”

"Of course. Tamil Nadu also needs a powerful investor like Mr. Kwok. ”

After a brief handshake between the two, Sukh Singh Kader continued: "This is my third brother, Irfan Singh Kadeer, who is currently the president of the Kader Group. ”

Compared to his two older brothers, Irfan's physique is slightly thinner. Moreover, his attitude and skills are also more tactful. Before Guo Shouyun spoke, he had already taken the initiative to say: "Mr. Guo is a well-known upstart in the business world all over the world, and I hope that Cader Group can have more business cooperation with you in the future." ”

After Guo Shouyun nodded, he smiled: "This is exactly what I expected!"

"This is my eldest son, Warren Singh Kadeer, who is currently the head of the Kerala New and Renewable Energy Development Agency!"

Looking at the handsome and tall man in a traditional Indian wrap dress, Guo Shouyun smiled and stretched out his right hand to the other party.

"I believe that Mr. Warren has a brilliant future in politics!"

"Thank you. We in Kerala welcome Mr. Kwok to invest in new and renewable energy here!"

"The Indian market is a place we are optimistic about, and I believe we will visit Mr. Warren often in the future!"

Further back, Summit Singh Kader had already said hello. So Sukh Singh Kader did not continue to introduce. As for the women with Sha Li in the back, he didn't seem to have the slightest intention of introducing Guo Shouyun. It is clear that within the Kadr family, women still have the same status as the whole of Indian society. When it comes to the family's distinguished guests and the future, they are not involved. Even Katya, whom Guo Shouyun knew, only stared at the person he liked with beautiful eyes, but he didn't dare to go beyond it at all.

After greeting each other, Guo Shouyun walked into the back living room surrounded by everyone in the Kader family. The opulent and exotic decoration was something he had thought of a long time ago, so he wasn't too surprised.

After everyone sat down politely with each other, the servants served drinks. And Guo Shouyun also took out his own gift.

"I came in a hurry this time, and I didn't have time to prepare too good gifts. So I wrote a temporary note to Mr. Summit as a congratulatory gift to congratulate you on your health again!"

He took the gift box from Matthew's hand, opened it and handed it to the other party.

"Can I open it now?"

"Of course!"

Guo Shouyun's box for his own calligraphy is a traditional Chinese cardboard box specially used for calligraphy and painting. It has a blue and white pattern, which looks very elegant. Of course, it's easy to take it apart.

"This is a kanji?"

After taking out the rice paper inside and unfolding it, Summit said happily and curiously. Of course, the rest of the people around also gathered around with great interest.

Speaking of which, I have to make a very interesting point. The Sino-Indian War of 1962 was a turning point in the relations between the two countries. But what is interesting is that the people of northern India have all kinds of hatred for China because of this. Southerners, on the other hand, don't feel much.

The reason for this view is also simple. The northern part of India often forms a relatively unified state. South India, on the other hand, was a scattered and independent country for most of the time. In addition to modern India, even during the Mughal Empire, the south was also an independent kingdom. Coupled with the differences in language and culture, the attitudes of North and South India towards China are different.

"That's right!" Guo Shouyun nodded.

"It's hard to imagine that the Chinese can write such wonderful art in writing!" exclaimed Sukh Singhkader.

It is not that he has never seen Chinese calligraphy and painting, and even the collection of the Caddell family has no shortage of Chinese art. But even so, such a unique form of artistic expression is still amazing.

"Every country has its own independent art and civilization. As one of the four ancient civilizations, India believes that the culture and art here are just as splendid!" Guo Shouyun said.

"Mr. Guo, what do these words mean, can you explain them to us?" said Summit with interest.

"Of course!" Guo Shouyun nodded, "This is a famous painting by the Chinese Tang Dynasty poet Meng Haoran, called "The Old Man's Village". 'The old man Gu Ji invited me to Tian's house. The green tree village is close to the edge, and the green mountain Guo is oblique outside. Open the noodle garden, and talk about the wine. Stay until the Double Ninth Day, and come to chrysanthemums. It means: The poet was invited by a friend to his house and was treated with great honor, and the poet was very grateful. I promised to come back on important festivals!"

Irfan Singh Kader said: "He is describing a great and sincere friendship!"

"That's right... The calligraphy was given to Mr. Summit. I hope that those of us who have survived the danger of our lives together can become sincere friends!"

"No, it's supposed to be brothers. When Mr. Guo was injured and saved my life, I decided that Mr. Guo was my brother!" Summit said excitedly and excitedly.

Guo Shouyun nodded in agreement. Obviously, the two sides who need each other in their respective relationships are now a perfect fit.

Everyone gathered around Guo Shouyun's calligraphy, and after exchanging ideas, they sat down.

"Mr. Guo is an American, what do you think about the conflict between your country and Iraq, and will war break out?" Sukh Singh Kadeer asked suddenly.

"Mr. Caddell cares about this too?"

"I'm afraid that the whole world is concerned about whether the US-Iraq war will break out!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, and after a brief thought, "Whether the war will break out or not, I can't be 100% sure." But I'm leaning towards an affirmative answer. As for the reason, it is also very simple, Iraq is the world's second largest oil producer, and its existence threatens the financial structure of the US 'petrodollar'!"

"Mr. Guo, the United Nations has not authorized the United States now. Moreover, Saddam Hussein has apologized to Kuwait and said that Iraq has no weapons of mass destruction. This has also been confirmed by United Nations missionaries. Will the United States defy the world's condemnation and insist on going to war against Iraq?" said Warren Singh Kadeer, frowning.

Looking at him, Guo Shouyun smiled. It is understandable that young people have not been tempered by too many things in the world, and they look at problems with too much idealism. If he doesn't have the experience of two lives, I'm afraid he will have similar views to the other party.

Of course, he does not have much faith in the United Nations. Rather, it is hard to believe that the United States is still opening up a second battlefield when the war in Afghanistan is not completely over.
