Lisco's American Life

Chauhan is forty-five years old this year. He is an official of the Indian Customs. His daily job is to issue official letters of permission to shipping companies here.

This position is very lucrative. If his brother-in-law hadn't been the secretary to the administrator above, how could he have gotten this good position?

Early in the morning, George Han arrived at the office holding his big belly.

He picked up the coffee that his subordinate had brewed early and rubbed his temples.

Since he took office, he has not had a meal at home. Countless companies invite him to dinner every day. Yesterday was another day of hangover.

Recalling the beauty last night, a smile appeared on his lips again, and he could visit her again today.

As soon as I opened the newspaper on the table, I saw the headline on the front page.

“The government steps up efforts to crack down on official corruption.”

"snort."

The good mood of the whole day was ruined, and George Han threw away the newspaper in his hand.

Corruption? Who would want to be an official without corruption? This is India. To catch corruption? Then you have to purge all the officials in the entire government.

What's more, I am a Kshatriya, and those untouchables were enslaved by people like myself. Now I just changed my way to avoid the influence of international public opinion.

Abhishek Sharma is a local broker in India. What he is good at is helping foreign companies to contact relevant local government officials in India. This kind of matchmaking is his job for a living.

Moreover, he belongs to the local Brahmin caste in India, just because he is the second son of the family, but this background is enough for government officials.

He is only responsible for helping to contact relevant people. As for whether the matter is successful or not, he does not worry at all. Regardless of success or failure, his share is indispensable.

Payne contacted the people yesterday, and the broker he selected was Abhishek. In India, the foundation of the caste system is engraved in their bones. Of course Payne did his homework when he came here.

The introduction fee of US$10,000 has gone into Abhishek's pocket, so now he is working extra hard.

Regarding shipping, the most useful person is George Han. Although there are many people with higher rankings than him, they are all separated by several levels, and he is the only person directly in charge.

According to Payne's request, he took Payne and guard Yu Qing directly into the customs office building.

Watching Abhishek walking towards the office with ease, he kept responding to people who greeted him along the way.

Payne and Yu Qing next to him looked at each other and nodded in unison. It seemed that they were looking for the right person this time.

Abhishek is very popular in every department of the government, not just because he is more versatile, but because of his real benefits.

Every time Abhishek brings a person and if the bribe is successful, the leaders above will also take out the corresponding share and distribute it to the people working under him. This is also a tacit understanding that every government employee participates in.

In India, corruption has become a relatively mature ecological chain from top to bottom.

So when Abhishek came over, everyone knew that there would be another bonus income, and of course they did not hesitate to smile.

"Bang bang bang."

Johan is enjoying the aroma of coffee. Although India is also a country that produces coffee, Johan prefers Brazilian coffee. This will distinguish him from the untouchables below. Brazilian coffee makes him look more noble.

"Come in."

George Han's tea time in the morning was interrupted, and he suddenly felt dissatisfied. He didn't know which of his indifferent subordinates came to disturb him at this time, and he must give him a good look.

Abhishek opened the door and saw that Johan was putting his feet on the desk and lying on the sofa chair to take a nap.

"Our director is very hardworking."

When George Han heard the sound, he opened his eyes. The next second, he immediately stood up and respectfully saluted Abhishek.

"Good day, sir."

As a beneficiary of the caste system, Chauhan, who is in the second class, will naturally guard the smooth flow of this system. This detail is reflected in every place. For example, now, he will immediately salute Abhishek regardless of whether there is an outsider or not.

Even if he is a government customs director and Abhishek is just a broker.

Of course Abhishek would not let George Han salute. He stretched out his hand to support him and then patted him on the shoulder.

"Okay, let's get down to business first. This is the manager of a trading company in the United States. Their company has just entered the Indian market. This time the cargo is a piece of iron wood, which will be shipped by sea. You can discuss the following matters."

After saying that, he sat down on George Han's sofa chair to avoid suspicion and flipped through the newspaper on the desk.

As a customs officer, his daily work is also very busy. There is a living room next to George Han, who led Payne and Yu Qing to go there.

Yu Qing did not follow him, but stopped at the door. His mission today was to protect Payne's safety.

Moreover, he was not interested in what happened next, for fear that he would punch these officials if he saw their faces.

When he arrived at the living room, George Han changed his humble expression outside and his expression became serious.

“What is your company going to transport this time?”

"Sir, Ironwood, the quantity this time is very small, because our company's original supply in Australia cannot temporarily cope with the orders, so the company boss wants to open up the Indian market."

Payne replied with a smile. He didn't think it was an insult to bow to the man in front of him who smelled of curry. This was the trophy related to the Li family, so this grievance was nothing.

"oh!"

George Han said that he understood. This kind of thing is not unusual. He often encounters this kind of situation. He first gets on the line with himself. The first batch of goods is just to test the water. If his joint is opened, the quantity and frequency will be increased.

He took out a cigar and lit it for himself.

Since he took office, he has made a lot of money. Every company will pay tribute to itself in order to save tariffs, not to mention those smugglers. He will scrape a layer of oil off every shipment.

After getting rich, I started to be arty and learned the daily habits of the upper class, such as drinking Brazilian coffee, smoking cigars, and playing golf. No matter how hot it was, I always wore suits and ties.

"Sir, our quantity this time is only about thirty tons, mainly iron wood and some Buddha statues. Some of our customers are Buddhist believers. If they can go far away from the statues in Buddhist holy places to bathe in the glory of the Buddha, they will pay a lot of money.

Yes, the future business scope will cover sandalwood, coffee, and rubber. So, I will give you this number for every ten tons."

Payne opened his palm to George Han and made three fingers.
