The beginning of 2004 was a turbulent year for Indian politics, with the Congress and BJP winning the 14th Lok Sabha general election in 2004 after a few months of battle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoOn May 15, all Congress MPs passed a motion to elect Sonia as the leader of the Congress Party's parliamentary group.

On May 16, the Indian National Congress party and its allies unanimously agreed that the party's leader, Sonya, will be the new prime minister of the Indian government. In this way, the Italian-born Sonia will become the first non-Indian leader in Indian history and the fourth prime minister of the Gandhi family.

However, just when Sonia's appointment as prime minister was almost a foregone conclusion, a wave of opposition to the "foreigner" Sonia becoming prime minister was brewing in the opposition camp and other social classes. In the end, Sonia chose to give up on the 18th. At an emergency meeting of the Congress party later that day, she said in a non-negotiable tone that it was not her dream to be prime minister and that the first priority was to establish a stable government for India. Subsequently, former Finance Minister Manmohan Singh was recommended as Prime Minister, and on May 19, 2004, Singh became the first Sikh Prime Minister in India's history, and on May 22, 2004, he was officially sworn in.

At this time, Shakru did not follow the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Singh, who took the initiative to stand in line in front of the TV, but talked to a young man in Hong Kong, a young man named Chitan Bahat, whose main occupation is a professional investor in an international bank. Of course, Shakru didn't need him to help him invest, and for this, Shakru believed that he was the best investment advisor, and Shakru came to Bahat because he had just published a book called "The Five Point Man". This name may not be familiar to everyone, but everyone will be familiar with the name of "Three Fools Making Trouble in Bollywood" adapted into a movie.

As for Bahat, Shakru's invitation made him extremely excited, and after sitting down, he was so excited that he said a little stumblingly: "Mr. Pandit, it is such an honor for me to meet you today, do you know? You have always been my idol, and although the number of investment operations you have not made is much, you have always been extremely accurate, which can be called a model in the industry. ”

What Bahat said is definitely from his heart, although Shakru rarely invests, but he has a great reputation in the investment or simply speculation circle, because there are many successful people in speculation, but it is too rare to succeed every time, and Shakru is a successful person who succeeds every time, plus Shakru is also an Indian and is about the same age as Bahat, so he will naturally be regarded as an idol by Bahat.

Shakru was a little surprised by Bahat's enthusiasm, but he still replied politely: "I have inside information before, so I dare to make a move, and I can't compare with a professional like Mr. Bahat." Then he changed his tone and said, "Mr. Bahat, I have read your new book "Five Point People", which I have just published, and I think that your book is very interesting and very suitable for adaptation into a movie, so I would like to talk to you about the right to transfer the script. ”

In fact, there is no need for Shakru to come over in person for this kind of acquisition of scripts, just talk about it, after all, Bahat is not a big writer now, but Shakru considers that Bahat's future works are very suitable for adaptation into movies, especially very popular with college students, so he plans to establish a long-term relationship with him, so Shakru came to Hong Kong in person.

"Do you think my book could be adapted into a movie?" Bahat was clearly surprised.

Shakru nodded and said, "That's right, I think the campus plot and the educational system problems reflected in your book should be loved by many college students and audiences who have had college experience, so I think I can give it a try." ”

"I'm sorry, I always thought that the theme of our Indian movies could only be love and gangsters."

"Hehe, it's a traditional movie, but the films shot by Polaris Films are all aimed at overseas markets, so it's not the same as traditional movies."

"Oh, Polaris, I know, I know, I like both "The Bandit Queen" and "Black Demon," Bahat said, "Oh, Polaris, I know, I love both "The Bandit Queen" and "Black Demon", it's really different from traditional movies, but I'm really surprised that you can think so highly of my book." ”

"I am not only optimistic about this book, I think Mr. Bahat, you have a high talent in literary creation, especially in the direction of youth struggle, your level is much higher than other writers in China, maybe this is also related to your study and work experience."

Shakru is not talking nonsense, this Chitanbahat can be regarded as a top student, at the age of 17, he was admitted to the best school in India - the Indian Institute of Technology (the background of "Three Fools in Hollywood" is actually this school), at the age of 21, he was admitted to the Indian Institute of Management in Amudaba to study for a master's degree in business administration, and won the title of "Best Graduate", after graduation, he joined the banking industry, and successively worked in Goldman Sachs, Deutsche National Bank and other well-known financial institutions.

"Well, I also feel very accomplished in writing about the struggle of young people, and now I am thinking of a story set in cricket, and the protagonists are still three people, three young people who like to play cricket, in Ahmedabad, the largest city in the western Indian state of Gujarat, to start a business and chase their dreams."

"This subject matter is very good, and I support you in writing about it, and I can even order the film rights to the book now." Shakru said this because he had read the novel "The3Mistakesoflife", which was a sales miracle in the history of Indian literature when it was first released, selling half a million copies, and of course, it may have something to do with the status of cricket in India.

"Okay, then I'll do my best to get this book done." Bahaat nodded in reply, and then said with some embarrassment, "Mr. Pandit, if I have the chance, could you please give me some tips on investing?" ”

"We can't talk about skills, but we can study and learn from each other." Originally, Shakru didn't want to agree to this kind of request, after all, he couldn't compare with a professional like Bahat in terms of investment and financial management, but when he saw Bahat's idolatrous eyes, his little vanity was still satisfied, so he decided to mention him at the right time, but he still thought that it was better for Bahat to write books honestly.
