What is the future of India's economic development?

It's not like decades ago when we could squeeze as much as we could over there. Now...

Alan had a very bad impression of India. The place was simply beyond description.

What are they going to develop economically there? Cow dung or fertilizer?

Isn't this just competing with the Indians for food?

It's good enough to be able to buy some food there. As for other things, Alan has no interest at all. But now that the task has been assigned, it is likely that Boss Cha gave it to him for the sake of face. Alan really went there with the purpose of gaining some qualifications and traveling at the same time. He has no other ideas at all.

"Okay, I understand. I'll think about it during this time."

With a sigh, Alan agreed first, and would talk about what to do when the time comes.

…

"Hey? Did you and Spencer have a fight? He seemed a little depressed when he came back from your place some time ago."

After talking about business, Diana returned to her nature and chatted with Alan about family matters.

Theoretically, Diana had two older sisters, but in an aristocratic family, as long as there are many children, conflicts are inevitable, and it is very common for brothers and sisters to have bad relationships.

In addition, her parents divorced early, so Diana did not have a good relationship with her two sisters when she was a child. This was mainly because Diana had a rebellious personality, and she was a poor student, which made her a bit of a tomboy. But because of these characteristics, she got along well with her younger brother, Spencer. Later, as Diana married into the royal family and her status rose, the relationship in the family gradually became harmonious.

A few days ago when she returned home, she happened to meet her brother whom she hadn't seen for a long time. It seemed that her brother was in a low mood. She asked him a few questions but he didn't say anything. Thinking about it, her brother is already in his twenties and is now considered an older young man. He was busy with Allen's business in the past few years and has not married until now. Now he seems to have free time, so Diana plans to take care of this matter.

I came to see William today just to ask Allen what was going on.

…

"Hmm? We didn't have a fight. My business is doing well and the dividends are coming soon. Maybe he has money now and doesn't know what to do for a while."

There are some things that Allen is not prepared to say more about. Diana has a very poor sense of confidentiality. He can tell him small things, but he cannot tell her the key things that need to be kept confidential. Who knows if she will be happy one day and tell nonsense to reporters again.

"Oh... okay then. I will look for some unmarried foreign nobles of marriageable age in a while. Spencer will probably get married next year. What about you... I still need to show you around."

“…”

Alan really wanted to refuse, but he had no reason to do so. Diana was still very concerned about his lifelong event, but she just couldn't decide on the right person.

Under normal circumstances, the nobility in England do not marry outside the royal family!

On the contrary, the royal family needs to always intermarry with foreigners, and only in rare cases will they choose marriage partners from among the nobles in their own country.

In this generation, Boss Cha was also a difficult man when he was young. Because of his personality and other problems, he wanted to find a marriage partner in China, but...

Most of the English nobility who matched his status refused to marry into the royal family.

They are very tough, and it is not easy for Boss Cha to find a partner abroad.

In the end, the Queen Mother, who was concerned about her grandson's marriage, personally stepped in and chose Diana, the youngest daughter of a ruined noble family.

…

Although Diana's family is also an earl, there is no comparison between their earldom and Allen's earldom.

One is the traditional earl who has fiefdoms and real power. Although it has been severely reduced now, the status is still here, and it is still a "military general" family.

The title of Diana's family was originally obtained by donating official positions.

That means you buy it with money!

With such a title, it is destined that their family will not follow a very upright path.

For a family like Allen, far away in a poor place like Wales, there is no need to form cliques. No matter who gets promoted, as long as his family can still control Wales, as long as they can still kill people with a knife, as long as they honestly swear allegiance, then they have a stable job.

Generally speaking, those in power will not make things difficult for such a family that is foolish, only knows how to fight and kill, but is honest and obedient.

All the intrigues are limited to England or Scotland, and Wales has little presence.

…

But the Spencer family is not in a situation like the Hill family. They don't have the ability and can only take the path of forming cliques and factions. If they don't handle it well, the least that can happen is the destruction of the family or the loss of talent.

Anyway, by the time of Diana's father, the family had fallen into decline. It was because they were such a poor family and could no longer make ends meet that they would approach the royal family, marry their daughter to the royal family, and then use their daughter's connections to alleviate the family's difficulties.

In recent years, as Diana's fame grew, the Spencer family has slowly risen again. However... along with the benefits, they also suffered some disadvantages.

Because of Boss Cha's personal connections, the current Spencer family, if they want to arrange an internal marriage with the English nobles in China, it is probably impossible to find a suitable match...

Even Allen was implicated, so when Diana introduced Allen to potential partners, she mainly chose those from abroad. It was not because there were no unmarried candidates of the right age in China, but because the families of people in China were unwilling to marry them!

Not all nobles like to get close to the royal family, some nobles just like to live their own lives behind closed doors. Just because of those bad things during World War II decades ago, everyone is only calm on the surface now. Anyway, the queen can only confer titles but cannot revoke them. As long as you don't provoke her, she won't give you face, and no one can do anything to them.

…

"By the way, what time does Harry get out of school?"

Diana watched Allen nod and agreed to introduce him to someone, then turned around and began to inquire about Harry's schedule.

"He... um..."

Alan thought about it, elementary school students finish school at noon. Sometimes they will do extracurricular activities at school, and sometimes they will come back early. In addition, the drive from Cardiff to Carmarthen is more than an hour, so it will be around three o'clock?

He didn't notice it anyway.

"About three o'clock, not particularly fixed."

"Okay, go ahead and get busy. I'll take William and Catherine with me to Cardiff to play, and pick up Harry along the way. They'll stay with me in Cardiff tonight."

Diana waved happily, preparing to chase Alan away.

“…”

Alan frowned and looked at Diana.

He didn't want to say it too bluntly, as it would sound unpleasant.

Diana came to the manor to visit William, and as long as she applied, there was no problem. But if she wanted to bring William and pick up Harry, she would not return home overnight.

This... is not a good idea. What if she gets carried away and Cardiff is a port? If she contacts the ship in advance, the three of them can just board the ship and leave. They will be happy then, but Alan will be in big trouble.

Don't blame him for being heartless. When it comes to things like this, which involve one's own personal safety, one must be on guard.

…

Seeing Alan frowning at her, Diana stared at Alan for a while, and the smile on her face disappeared. The two looked at each other for dozens of seconds. Diana suddenly smiled and said jokingly: "Alan, you are really conscientious and responsible. If you should send people to protect us, just send people. I'm not stopping you from doing so."

"Okay, I'll get busy now and not disturb your parent-child time."

Alan looked at Diana deeply. No matter she was testing him or it was really unintentional, Alan would not give in. This was not the time to show favoritism.

…

The Gambia in October.

It was the end of the rainy season and Banjul was drizzling, just as it had been when Chekov had first arrived in The Gambia a few months earlier.

But he was in a good mood at that time, as if he had escaped from a cage, with the sky high and the birds flying freely and the sea wide and the fish leaping freely.

Now……

After just a few months, Chekov felt a deep sense of exhaustion and impotent rage.

…

At the desk, the tall Slav subordinate, although wearing casual clothes, stood straight, holding documents in his hands, looking at Chekov cautiously.

"Boss, according to the records we found, the Englishman did charter a plane back alone."

"Bullshit! He chartered such a big plane by himself? Do you believe this information?"

Chekov's face turned pale. The young British nobleman who sold him the property was gone.

But this departure was too strange. He chartered such a big plane by himself. He must have transported the money back and even took a lot of people with him!

But when Chekov sent people to investigate according to his habit, he found that the other party was very ruthless.

Banjul, a shabby place, claims to be an international airport, but the registration records clearly show that there was no cargo on the special plane and the only passenger was the son of a noble!

Any dog ​​would shake his head after reading this kind of record, but the data is like this now, he can only be furious and helpless. This is not their country, this is a foreign country, West Africa, Gambia.

Chekov was very uncomfortable with the feeling that he couldn't find any useful information about the other party who had left in such a grand manner. He felt insecure!

Sighing, Chekov looked at his men and asked, "Have those missing officials been found yet?"

"Well... we only found ordinary people who were related to a few officials."

"Oh? What did they say? Did they provide any useful information?"

Chekov's eyes lit up. It was good enough that the small fry were found. Every passing goose leaves traces. As long as these British guys looked carefully, they would always be able to find some clues.

…

Looking at his subordinates who didn't say anything but silently handed him a few photos, Chekov took the photos.

The photo showed a mass grave outside the city. He knew this place; it was where those hooligans were dealt with in the past. Now... the photo showed several people who died in various strange ways.

"This is?"

"This is the person we found. They acted very quickly. When we found him, he had already started to rot."

“…”

Chekov took a deep breath. The other party left very cleanly. After the handover and confirmation that there was no problem, the other party did not leave anything behind. This made him very depressed and even a little uneasy.

There was no problem with the business. The handover between each department and the other party was very clear. To put it bluntly, the other party even taught them step by step how to make the transition. Everything seemed to be fine.

Even for the people who were killed, it looked like they were acting habitually in order to deal with some secrets that needed to be kept.

But Chekov's sixth sense told him that the situation was developing in a bad direction, but he didn't know how bad it was.

…

"Also... Boss, those employees resigned."

"Hmm? Oh… let them go."

Chekov knew who the employees his men were talking about. They were all low-level managers. Because they wanted to take over the business, his people had excluded these people. Anyway, they all used violent management and just beat people. For such positions, he would feel at ease if he replaced them with his own people. It was normal for those who were excluded to want to resign.

Chekov didn't even think twice about this.

As for arresting them and asking for information?

This is Gambia. They are new here and don't dare to act lawless like Spencer did.

"Okay, go prepare your documents. I'll go to America to explore the route in a few days. I'll leave this to you after I leave."

"yes!"

…

"Haha, welcome home, my good brother!"

In mid-October, Alan stood at the door of the hall and personally welcomed the last group of people returning from Gambia. His comrades, the doctor, the old donkey, and the little hero Chickley, all came back.

There was no welcome ceremony, nor was there anything pretentious. At the entrance of the hall, Alan stretched out his hand, took the envelope handed to him by the servant behind him, stuffed it into the doctor and the old donkey, and said, "You have worked hard in the past few years. I won't say more. Here are the tickets to Hawaii. You can go on vacation first, have fun and rest, and we will meet again on Christmas."

Lao Lu has a rather eccentric personality. He snatched the envelope from Alan's hand and tore open the seal. In addition to the round-trip first-class ticket, there was also an ID card, a passport, a bank card, and a room card. In other words, everything he needed was there. He didn't even need to bring luggage. He could just go straight to Cardiff and get on the plane.

"Haha, it seems like you're not even interested in inviting us in to sit down, Alan. Okay, let's go now!"

The old donkey made a joke and prepared to leave with the doctor.

The doctor was rather depressed, thinking that they had just met and hadn't even exchanged a few words, and it would be inappropriate to just pick up the things and leave.

But when he turned his head, he saw Old Donkey winking at him. Chickley next to him came back with them, but he didn't receive the envelope. It seemed that Alan was going to keep him to talk alone.

Thinking of this, the doctor, who had originally thought that the old donkey was reckless, forced a smile on his face, greeted Alan, shook the envelope in his hand, and was pulled away by the old donkey.

…

Watching the two ruthless men leave, Chikli stood alone, looked at Allen, put on a flattering smile, bent his waist slightly and said, "Sir, I have fulfilled your mission. I have completed the task you assigned me. I..."

As he spoke, Chikli made a bottle gesture with his hands.

He doesn't want money now, he just wants back the things he has left...

…

"Humph! You still have the nerve to come back? What was the mission I assigned to you? What did you accomplish? Do you think you completed the mission?"
