Chapter 374: Gold Smuggling

Priyanka couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and said in her heart that she really started to like this "husband killer", and then shook her head, as if she wanted to drive this thought out of her mind, looking at her best friend with this expression, she immediately opened her mouth wide and exclaimed: "Oh my God, Priyanka, do you really like this guy?" ”

The best friend is not talking nonsense, because with her understanding of Priyanka, she will only make this kind of action when she tries her best to deny the thoughts in her heart, so doesn't this mean that she inadvertently said it just now? But this kind of thing must not happen, so she cautiously persuaded: "Priyanka, you have to think clearly, this Pandit is a family man, if you do that kind of thing, it will not affect you well."

Priyanka angrily slapped her best friend and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, how could I possibly fall in love with that guy, okay, don't talk about this, are you looking for me today?" Feeling very embarrassed, Priyanka quickly diverted the topic and asked.

At this time, my best friend remembered that she had something to do today, so she hurriedly suppressed the soul of gossip and said: "That, I have a batch of goods that have been detained by the customs, Puri, you can help me find a way." ”

"What's that?" Priyanka asked quietly.

My girlfriend replied a little embarrassed: "Well, it's nothing, it's just a batch of gold." ”

When Priyanka heard this, he immediately frowned and said: "The last time I came to me for smuggling gold, I was detained, why didn't you learn a long lesson, and you still smuggled this thing?" ”

"Oh, isn't it about the wedding season, the demand on the market is particularly large, and the amount of imports allowed by the state is not enough at all, so it is more profitable to dump this thing now than to sell dupin." The girlfriend explained.

Priyanka said angrily: "Then you can't always do such illegal things just because you make money." ”

The girlfriend was still a little aggrieved: "What kind of illegal thing am I?" The little girl gets married once in her life, but now I can't buy gold jewelry with money, so I'm doing a good deed, in fact, in the final analysis, the government is to blame for this, knowing that we Indians like gold the most, but there are also import restrictions on gold. ”

"Importing gold needs to spend foreign exchange, but our country's foreign exchange is not much, and we have to keep a part of it for the purchase of crude oil, if there is no restriction on the import of gold, it will definitely lead to a reduction in foreign exchange reserves, then it is very easy to cause the depreciation of the rupee, and then followed by inflation, you should always know what inflation looks like, right?" Priyanka explained helplessly.

My girlfriend muttered: "These big truths are the government's business, anyway, I know that many people can't buy gold when they get married." ”

When it comes to the love of gold, there is probably no place in the world better than India. Why do Indians love gold so much?

This is inextricably linked to the particular culture of India. I remember an old Indian movie "Nuri", in which Nuri is about to get married, before the marriage, her fiancΓ© left Nuri alone in the village because he wanted to leave the small village to buy gold jewelry for the bride in a nearby city, so that Nuri suffered misfortune next. This does not just reflect the affirmation of the value of gold in the bones of the Indian tradition, it is vividly reflected in the body of Indian brides, almost every Indian bride who marries is covered with various gold ornaments.

About 10 million brides are married in India every year, most of them using gold jewelry, which explains why India is the world's largest consumer of gold.

In addition, gold is very important to people who often suffer from famines. Hundreds of people die in floods and millions are displaced every year in India. In the face of this reality, if their savings were turned into gold, many Indians who were threatened by floods could flee with their wealth at any time when disaster struck, and gold would be easy to sell.

Jewelry, dowries, flaunting wealth, Indians seem to have an innate craze for gold, and on festivals or happy occasions, large numbers of Indians flock to the shops to exchange their salaries for gold. Indians, rich or poor, have gold in almost every household; Indians consume 800 tonnes of gold per year, accounting for 20% of the world's annual gold consumption. The love of gold, inextricably linked to India's particular culture, has been seared into the character of the Indians.

India was once the world's largest consumer of physical gold. However, after the Indian government imposed restrictions on gold imports last year to control the current account deficit (CAD), imports fell sharply, and the most direct consequence is that gold smuggling, which is more rampant than drug smuggling, has become another "keyword" in India, and its degree is extremely rampant, and there are even "donkeys" who swallow gold smuggling.

Therefore, Priyanka can also be considerate of her best friend's situation, but she has to say a few words about her out of righteousness, lest she be too rampant in the future, but in the end she still has to help her, of course, by the way, I also want to send her away, so as not to gossip about herself again.

Although she reluctantly sent away the gossipy girlfriend, Priyanka's mood did not calm down, in order to avoid other problems, she simply asked the secretary to inform Shakru that she had canceled the meeting and discussion three days later, and Shakru, who learned the news, naturally knew that Priyanka was doing this to avoid suspicion, but he also felt that this was a good thing, because there were too many people around him now.

Even when he attended Mr. Sangyi's thank-you banquet, he was teased about it at the banquet, but to his surprise, he actually met a very strange person at this banquet, and heard a very strange question, which made him laugh very much.

Because the question is actually "Why don't Chinese like to travel to India?" ”

PS: The situation in China is just the opposite of India, China has too much foreign exchange, which can just consume part of it by importing gold, and at the same time can solve the demand for gold of the domestic people, of course, this is also because Chinese is not as fanatical about gold as Indians.
