Wedge Kamigawa of the third brother's family
Probably Zhou Lang has been too smooth in the past few years, God wants to create some obstacles for him, he was in India between business investigations, the ghost made a sudden interest to go for a walk by the famous Ganges, who wanted to fall into the river without warning, only to see the assistant shouting on the shore, Zhou Lang wanted to swim up, his swimming level is not good, but it is not so powerless in the gentle Ganges, but he panicked and felt that he seemed to be carrying a heavy burden on his body, and was dragged in the river and drifted away.
Floating in the turbid divine water mixed with all kinds of domestic garbage, consciousness is gradually blurred, and some memory fragments keep flashing in my mind.
He can be called an entrepreneur, an entrepreneur, an adventurer, a broker, an opportunist or even a liar. He has a gilded resume, graduated from a famous university in China, and gilded in a famous university in the West. He could have found a well-paying job, or even a stable position in a foreign multinational giant.
But he is not the kind of person who settles down, as early as when he was studying abroad, he started his own business. Under the venture capital of his mentor, he engaged in Internet companies, took advantage of the Internet bubble, sold websites with no connotation, and won the first pot of gold. After graduation, he received the support of domestic government funds and started a second business in China. But the Internet bubble burst, and after going bankrupt, he was not willing to work for others, but began to transform into an entity.
He was lucky enough to come across a period of rapid economic development in China, when international commodity prices were high, and China was the biggest buyer. But he still didn't play his cards according to common sense, and the vain mentality cultivated in the Internet era made him unable to settle down and slowly do business with peace of mind. It is impossible for him to occupy a place in the domestic market monopolized by state-owned enterprise giants, so his business is still mainly to make quick money, and he is doing something unauthentic.
He took advantage of the blind internationalization mentality of state-owned giants who were keen to go to sea, often bought some foreign abandoned mineral resources, after some packaging, made some beautiful data, found some international exploration companies to issue exaggerated appraisal certificates, and then sold them to domestic mining giants at a high price for profit.
The reason why I came to India this time is because there is an Indian fever in the world, everyone thinks that India will create the economic miracle created by China in the previous three decades, so the heat wave of investing in India is endless, and the Chinese are the most popular people, so the Chinese enterprises planning to invest in India such as the carp across the river, Zhou Lang is fancy this trend, it just so happens that he once did mining in India, so he decided to come to India to investigate, want to take this opportunity to make a hot money. As for how to operate, it is simply too simple, setting up a company in India, packaging it as a new enterprise, burning money in the short term, burning a certain amount of heat, and then selling it to the Internet giants who are also vain in psychology and do not know enough about India, which is already familiar to him.
It may be that he has done too much bad things, and God is going to accept him, but he inexplicably fell into the god river of the Indians.
Zhou Lang's consciousness seems to have disappeared, but it seems to have always existed, this is an indescribable state, like the meditation of the old monk, this state does not know how long it has been, as if the universe was born, as if the heaven and earth were opened, time appeared, and his feelings also appeared.
He felt someone dragging him, and slowly he felt a sense of touch, and he felt pain, obviously the person or thing dragging him was a little rough.
He saw the light, then the shadow, and his vision was restored, and a shirtless, short-like Indian was swimming on the shore with one of his arms, and the man was moving casually, not dragging a man at all, but more like dragging a dead object.
Zhou Lang was pulled into the case and thrown on the shore, and the Indian sat next to him panting.
Despite being treated roughly, Zhou Lang was not angry, because he knew that this Indian had saved him, in any case, this was a good man who had the courage to fish him out of the river, and he was determined to repay him well when he went back, but now he didn't have the slightest strength, almost used all his strength, and he just said "thank you" in Hindi.
A thank you, scared the life-saving benefactor half to death, and it took a long time of panic to find Zhou Lang, and after a brief look at Zhou Lang's eyes, the life-saving benefactor knelt on the ground in horror and threw himself to the ground, but he couldn't say a word.
……
An hour later, Zhou Lang understood the general situation.
His named benefactor is named Vimula, a professional corpse collector, this kind of person can not be a social elite in any country, such as in China, although everyone does not discriminate against such people, but absolutely unwilling to contact too much, but the Chinese are more out of fear. This is not the case in India, where the corpse collectors are definitely not ordinary people, but a group of people with a specific identity, who are called untouchables, commonly known as untouchables.
Vimula is a pariah, how cheap? The work he can do can only be to collect corpses, sweep garbage and the like, and even serve people, as a servant for people, this kind of work is not his share, this is not the most serious, he must be careful when he walks so as not to step on the footprints of other high-caste people, he must also pay attention to passers-by at all times, so as not to sweep his shadow to others, so once he meets others, he can often only shrink into a corner, and only when others have passed by, he dares to continue on the road. Failure to do so will result in a severe beating or death, and neither the government nor the law will pursue it. To put it bluntly, he has no personality, and his social status is far less than that of a cow.
However, Zhou Lang was still very grateful, but he was depressed, because he was dragged up by Vimula as a "corpse", Vimula thought he was dead, so he dragged him up, and finally saw that he was alive, so he was frightened. When Zhou Lang understood these situations, and found that there was a dead pig and a dead dog next to him, he was put in it, and vomited in the dark, if he didn't vomit, he couldn't do it, the ghost knew how much water the Indian gods drank, and what was in that water, and only the ghost knew, anyway, looking at this large pile of corpses, Zhou Lang just wanted to turn out his stomach and stomach and wash it, of course, he would never wash it with Ganges water.
Another thing that he figured out made Zhou Lang feel a little panicked and excited, and he basically decided in his heart that the era he was in was no longer the era he was in, and in layman's terms, he had crossed over. The water of the Ganges has flowed for tens of thousands of years, and he has been in the Ganges for hundreds of years.
The reason for this is determined, except that Vimula told him the specific date, which was 1792 AD, and Zhou Lang's own discovery, he did not see any modern elements, and all the people he saw on the streets were people wearing traditional Indian costumes, although this kind of clothing was still very common in India in later generations, but there were no modern elements, it was almost impossible, unless it was a certain backcountry, but this was not a backcountry, but Calcutta.
Calcutta in 1792, served as the headquarters of the British East India Company of Kolkata as ruler of the whole of Bengal.
Wait, why would Vimula, an Indian pariah, know that it is 1792, and know the way Westerners commemorate it, Zhou Lang couldn't help but look at the savior who still hadn't gotten rid of his panic.
"You know the British?"
Zhou Lang asked very seriously.
