Chapter 158: Refusal
In fact, similar remarks have been circulating around Manipur as early as 90 and 91, and the reason may be as mentioned earlier, in fact, it may be Manipur's ThePeoplesLiberation Army abbreviation PLA, (translated as the People's Liberation Army, NND, I am really afraid that people will not misunderstand) made up.
Although Shakru had studied Manipur a little, it was the first time he had seen Manipur, so he asked with great interest, "Oh, that's no wonder, but Mr. Olam, what is the matter with you looking for me this time?" ”
"Well, I heard that Mr. Pandeit, you have very close ties with China and know a lot of powerful Chinese friends?" Oram asked hesitantly.
"I do know a few Chinese friends and have some business dealings, but Mr. Oram you don't want to contact the Chinese government through me, do you?" Shakru is purely joking, not to mention that the Manipur people don't have this mind at all, and even if they do, they won't find an Indian to thread the needle, after all, Manipur is less than 500 kilometers away from Yunnan, and if you want to take the initiative to contact you, you have already contacted it, so why bother going around such a big circle.
Sure enough, Oram waved his hand again and again: "Mr. Pandit, don't be kidding, we are all businessmen, and we don't talk about politics or politics." Then he changed the conversation and said, "Actually, I came this time because I want to trouble you with a business." ”
"Oh, what kind of business, is it cool oil or Wilgang." Shakru asked with a smile.
"Anything, as long as it's your product, we'll take it, and we'll buy it at five times the market price." Oram said very heartily.
The so-called if things are abnormal, they must be demons, Shakru was not moved by the five-fold market price, but asked with a chuckle: "Hehe." Five times the market price, I don't know if it's because the market price I set before is too low, or Mr. Olam, you don't really want to be drunk, and there are other additional requirements. ”
"It's a pleasure to deal with a wise man like Mr. Pandit," said Olam, "and yes, I do have one more thing that I need your help with." ”
Shakru replied quietly, "Then let's get down to business, and I'll see if I can help." If I can help, I will ask for compensation directly, and I don't need to go around such a big circle. ”
Oram pondered for a moment, then said, "I have a few friends who want to join your factory, and then I have to trouble you to put them in the trading team with Chinese pharmaceutical companies, and when they get to China, you don't have to worry about it, of course, you can set them as temporary employees, so that whatever happens in the future will not be related to you." ”
"Oh. I see, you're actually trying to send a few people to China through me, right, but why bother with it? If I'm not mistaken, it seems that Manipur is only a few hundred kilometers from China. Shakru asked, puzzled.
"Well, it's not difficult to get into China, but the difficulty is that without a suitable identity, there is no way to contact the people we want to contact, even if this identity is temporary." Oram explained.
Shakru smiled bitterly, "Mr. Olam. Are you embarrassed to tell me that you're just a businessman who doesn't talk about politics? ”
Oram replied with some embarrassment: "Well, in fact, this is a business for you and me. It's other people who want to make this a political thing, and it has nothing to do with you and me, and I wonder if you're interested in this business, Mr. Pandit. ”
Shakru waved his hand and said, "If you are not interested, put it aside, I am more curious about Mr. Oram, why did you come to me?" Do you think I'm not Indian? Aren't you afraid that I'll leak this out and arrest you all? ”
"I've never met Mr. Pandit, but I can get a glimpse of you through the films you've made. Your first work, The Bandit Queen, was an indictment of the caste system. The second film, The Last Princess, is a mockery of the decadent aristocracy, and I firmly believe that the people who were able to make these two films would not have been loyal supporters of the Indian government, and perhaps if it weren't for the privileges that Brahmin status affords, you might have joined us.
And even if you do expose us, it won't hurt us much. At most, a few operatives have been arrested, and as for the fact that we Manipuris want independence, is this news still news in India? ”
Then he changed his words and said: "On the contrary, Mr. Pandeit, if you really do this, it will be worth the loss, I know that you have a few very good bodyguards around you, but there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days in this world, right?" ”
Although Shakru didn't like Oram's confident smile, he had to admit that what he said was very reasonable, Manipur's desire for independence was almost known in India, otherwise it would not have become a controlled area of AFSPA, so it was of no practical significance to expose it, and he was vulnerable to retaliation.
After much consideration, Shakru finally decided: "I'm sorry, Mr. Olam, although I am very dissatisfied with many things and traditions of the Indian government and Indian society, this does not mean that I want to oppose this government and this tradition, so it is a pity that I can't help you with this favor, but don't worry, I don't know about this matter, and I will not see you today." ”
The reason why Shakru made such a decision is that he doesn't want to get involved in such sensitive events, in fact, it's not just this kind of thing, he doesn't want to touch all political things, although he has the golden finger of past life memory, but this doesn't mean that he can play with politics and understand this kind of thing, so it's better to stay away. What's more, if this matter is a little possible, it's not impossible to help yourself, but this matter is unreliable no matter how you look at it, so it's better not to get involved.
"Don't be too busy refusing it, Mr. Pandit, for you haven't heard anything about it." Oram continued to persuade without giving up.
"I really have a hard time believing you can come up with a price that I can't resist, if you know anything about my income."
"Well, I know that your pharmaceutical business is very hot, Mr. Pandit, but it is not a small amount of money that you can earn 200,000 dollars just by doing it." (To be continued.) )
