Chapter 196: Sin City (Alliance Leader Plus Change)
After dealing with the branch work, Shakru wanted to return to New Delhi, but a phone call from Aishwarya made him change his mind. Aishwarya's phone call was one thing, during this time she was going to Johannesburg, South Africa to participate in the finals of the 1994 "Miss World" beauty pageant, because she is 21 years old this year, and her opportunities are running out, so she hopes that her boss can help her.
In fact, since he signed Aishwarya, Shakru has mainly run for her as India's only "Miss World" title, and he has already done a good job of helping Aishwarya to operate it well when the time comes, so as to ensure that this laurel will not fall into her hands, but during this time he has been busy with other things, so he forgot about it, and now when he heard Aishwarya's call for help, Shakru was secretly ashamed and naturally agreed.
The so-called "Miss World" beauty pageant was actually just a part of the British New Year's celebrations, originally called the "Festive Bikini Contest", and later the British press named the event "Miss World". Today's Miss World contest is designed to promote world peace, set outstanding role models for women, and help hungry and disabled children. Part of the British New Year's celebrations, originally known as the "Festive Bikini Contest", was later dubbed Miss World by the British press. Today's Miss World contest is designed to promote world peace, set outstanding role models for women, and help hungry and disabled children.
Although Shakru felt very guilty, but for Aishwarya, Shakru's ability to come was definitely a surprise, because Shakru was the owner of her film company, but participating in the beauty contest should be the responsibility of the modeling agency, but due to the outbreak of the plague in India this year, the model agency was also seriously affected, so now there is no ability to afford the operation of Aishwarya's competition, and Aishwarya, who was forced to helpless, had to turn to Shakru for help.
After the two met in Tokyo, they flew to Johannesburg, South Africa, although it was almost November, but Johannesburg was still about 20 degrees, and almost all of them were black, and Shakru realized that he had come to Africa.
Since the Dutch launched a colonial war against South Africa from the beginning of the 16th century, until the British took over South Africa in the 19th century, this resource-rich country has always been in a colonial state.
Therefore, although more than 80% of the population of South Africa is black, and now it is also ruled by blacks, the lifeblood of this country has always been controlled by whites, such as the owners of gold mines, diamond mines and those rare energy mines, basically white, and blacks can only use cheap labor to work for those capitalists.
Take Johannesburg, where Shakru is now located, for example, the concept of racial discrimination is still very serious, such as Soweto, 25 kilometers southwest of the city, which is the segregated area with the largest concentration of black people in South Africa, and there have been tragic incidents that shocked the world.
Therefore, before they arrived in South Africa, the staff who communicated with them repeatedly told them that although Johannesburg is a capital of wealth, it is also the capital of terror with the highest crime rate in the world.
Because the unemployment rate in South Africa is as high as 40%, the vast majority of the unemployed are unskilled and poorly educated blacks. The deterioration of law and order has led to frequent incidents of robbery and an atmosphere of ethnic conflict.
The most inconceivable thing is that a robber who is arrested and defends himself by claiming that he committed the crime because of hunger or poverty will be acquitted. Because the "benevolent" government believes that it is its own fault that causes others to make mistakes, but no one pays for the consequences. This is also one of the important reasons for the frequent occurrence of crime.
Such a chaotic environment naturally led to the upper-middle class, or the big capital companies representing South Africa, having to move to the northern suburbs, and the urban functions to the suburbs. In addition, risk-fearing foreign capital has also migrated outward, causing restaurants, clubs, and nightclubs in the city to close one after another, making this golden capital bustling during the day an abandoned city at night.
Although the lights were flashing outside the car window, Shakru and others could see that few people were walking on the side of the road, only groups of black people were whistling at the passing cars on the side of the street.
The atmosphere inside the car became a little depressing, and after about half an hour, the car stopped in front of a hotel near Sardon Square.
"Oops, there's a thief"
No one noticed that there was a small figure hiding in the shadow of a flower bed full of tropical plants opposite the hotel entrance. When Aishwarya, who was at the end, got out of the car, the figure rushed towards her.
This time, Aishwarya brought two suitcases of clothes for the competition, but Kabaeva and Mustafina helped her carry them, so she only carried a lady's kun bag on her shoulder. And the figure hiding in the shadows, what he wanted to snatch was the bag on Aishwarya's shoulder, but just as he grabbed the Kun bag and was about to run away, Aishwarya subconsciously dragged it with his hand.
However, the strength of the woman was never as great as that of the man, and although it was only a boy, he still dragged Aishwarya to the ground, and if the explosiveness of the black man was good, the teenage black boy spread his feet and ran out of the hotel.
"Thieves, there are thieves"
"Aishwarya, how are you?"
Aishwarya, who fell to the ground, was stunned after the initial scream, and muttered to catch the thief, while Shakru saw blood oozing from Aishwarya's arm, and hurriedly prepared to open his box and take out a first-aid kit to bandage Aishwarya.
"Is this still a thief? I almost didn't bring a gun to rob it, and the bandits are almost ......."
After hearing Aishwarya's words, Shakru couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, I heard that in recent years, bag snatching has been very popular in many parts of the country, but I didn't expect it to be seen in Africa.
Seeing that the boy was about to disappear behind the flower garden, Shakru knew that he would not be able to catch up, these locals were very familiar with the terrain, and it would be difficult for him to catch him as long as they got into the alley opposite.
But Shakru can't help it, it doesn't mean that Mustafina can't either, just when the figure of the black boy is about to disappear, Mustafina shook his right hand violently, and the black boy who had already run out of the mouth of more than ten meters away, suddenly let out a miserable scream, and the whole person fell to the ground.
