Chapter 449: A San!!

Soon after coming out of Mumbai’s Dubai Airport, the real three countries of Afghanistan were revealed in the eyes of Xia Yuqing.

At first, Xia Yuqing felt that Mumbai Dubai Airport was much more luxurious than the 2006 imperial capital airport.

According to drivers driving the three countries, the international terminal covers an area of more than 4.2 million square meters, and the steel used for the two roofs of the terminal is enough to build two Eiffel towers.

There is also a three-kilometre art trail showcasing art from the 8th to 19th centuries.

Originally, Xia Yuqing was still looking forward to this city.

Although what my boyfriend said was quite scary.

In this regard, Li Mingxuan, who held Li Youwei and gave the little girl the nuts in her rabbit baby, smiled.

As a western coastal city, Mumbai is the largest port in the country, the center of the cotton textile industry, the capital of Maharashtra, and the Mumbai Region is the most densely populated area of the country after the capital Deli.

For many Ah San, this is a city of hope.

The wealthy of Asan often hated settling in Mumbai, but elsewhere in India, they were even more uncomfortable.

The slum-dwellers said.

“Don’t starve to death in Mumbai, Mumbai is a golden-winged bird!”

People are coming to Mumbai from all over the world, believing that everything may be different in this crowded place.

These people said with great pride,

“Mumbai, let’s have a good fight now!”

Of course, this city is far from the golden paradise they imagined, it is full of visible wealth gaps

Mumbai is India’s richest city, with total privately owned assets of $950 billion, making it the 12th richest city in the world.

It is the commercial and financial center of Asan, home to the headquarters of many multinational companies, contributing 33% of income tax and 60% of trade tariffs to Asan, accounting for 6% of the country’s GDP and 40% of foreign trade.

Most of Asan’s professional and technical industries are located here.

Such as aerospace, optical engineering, medical research, computer and electronic equipment, shipbuilding, and renewable energy industries.

The famous film production base Bollywood is also located in Mumbai.

Countless rich people, whether businessmen, movie celebrities, athletes or politicians, are here like fish in the water.

Even the richest man in Asan, who has not been built since 2003, is home to a future mansion that cost $1 billion.

But soon in the eyes of Xia Yuqing, countless low houses that looked like tin houses appeared.

Knowing that Mumbai Dubai International Airport is located at the northern end of the city, for the wealthy, it is certainly not necessary to live in a noisy place like the airport.

So as soon as you come out of the luxury airport, you will find miles of slums everywhere, and if you want to go to the city, you must walk through the slums.

Suddenly traffic jams, bicycles, ambassador brand taxis navel together.

In addition to the rampage of sacred cows, some people are also picking up cow dung all over the place with things similar to dustpans, and many skinny boys with bare upper bodies and black pressed dry are begging along the street.

“This is Mumbai of the Three Kingdoms!”

Xia Yuqing glanced at Li Mingxuan, completely incredulous.

“Hehe, I know, why should I warn in advance!”

Li Mingxuan said with a smile.

The two spoke Chinese, so A San driver could not understand.

However, even so, he explained in curry-smacked English: “Respected gentlemen and misses, these are lowly untouchables, because many people are not allowed to go to the city to find work but can only beg here or make a living for others, they do not represent the wealth of our three countries, please believe me, the real Mumbai will not disappoint you!” ”

Hearing this, Xia Yuqing, who is also very proficient in English, actually has no hope at this time.

As a member of the National Opera and Dance Theatre, she has also travelled to many countries with the troupe.

But only coming to the three countries is a bit disappointing, at least so far.

At this time, because of the congestion of the road, even if there are armed patrols driving motorcycles, the speed is like a snail.

Fortunately, the Mercedes-Benz S350 bulletproof car that Li Mingxuan is riding in is always a little old, but the cooling effect of the air conditioner is not bad.

Otherwise, take the 40 degrees outside and the crowds on the roads so congested.

That’s going to be crushing.

“Ming Xuan, look at that!”

At this time, Xia Yuqing suddenly pointed out the window of the car, and suddenly even Xiao Youwei was lying on the glass of the car in surprise.

Her round eyes seemed to see something surprised.

And Li Mingxuan glanced at the direction pointed by Xia Yuqing, but he was a little surprised.

It was just an old-fashioned truck next to the convoy full of people up and down, left and right.

A small truck had more than a dozen people in front and behind.

Even the roof of the car, the door handles have people hanging from them.

In contrast, some overload problems of flower growers are not a problem.

Li Mingxuan said in Chinese with a look of habit: “Open and hang the nation, what is this, if you see people’s trains and passenger cars, you won’t be surprised at all!” ”

“It’s nothing!”

Xia Yuqing was shocked, although some buses in this era will also be crowded.

But at least it’s all inside the car, and Ah San’s side is completely outside the car.

Especially with a few people sitting on the roof of the truck, so smooth on the roof, are they not afraid of falling head-on?

Actually, this is easy to understand, because the speed here is slow enough.

Sometimes cars can’t even outrun bicycles, that’s why those dare to do that

Li Mingxuan watched A San trailer skills in a certain sound in his previous life, this truck outside is nothing at all, to put it mildly, if you follow that skill, this car can at least hang twice as many people.

Therefore, when you see the three ethnic groups in the military exercise, a motorcycle can pose while transporting more than ten people.

It’s just practice makes perfect.

Then, Xia Yuqing saw a person coming out of the dirty sewer.

Even with the window closed, she was about to vomit in nausea.

Li Mingxuan looked at that person and popularized science for her: “Although the caste system has been officially abolished by Asan, the caste system has been deeply rooted in the folk caste system, and high-caste people are not allowed to marry low-caste people, and if they are discovered, they will even be lynched, and low-caste people will be killed.” In addition, people of lower castes can only work in fixed jobs, not in jobs higher than their own status. And just now the one who is not even a low caste, there is a professional term in A San to summarize them, that is, untouchables. These people can only do the lowest and dirtiest jobs for generations, such as digging sewers, etc., so this kind of people are no longer considered people in the eyes of some high-caste people in Asan, they can only be regarded as an animal, if they don’t look good, they can be beaten casually, and even the local patrol will not care! ”

“It’s also too… It’s unreasonable! ”

Xia Yuqing, following Li Mingxuan’s explanation, already had no hope for the A San nation.

What age is this, still playing with the caste system.

In fact, this is one of the fundamental reasons why many international experts say that Ah San will never catch up with the flower growers.

It is clear that Ah San has a demographic dividend similar to that of a flower family.

But the entrenched caste system has stifled the work and creativity of most of the three people.

Most of the low-caste, untouchables do not go to school and can only work in low-level jobs with no added value.

It is not possible to monetize the demographic dividend.

Looking at the miles of slums on both sides of the road, most of these people were unemployed or poorly paid.

They all originally came from the countryside around Mumbai and came to this dream city to find opportunities.

The population of Mumbai as a whole is about 120 million, and there are 3 to 4 million people here.

And Mumbai’s infrastructure and resources simply cannot afford the influx of so many people.

So gradually it became a large slum around the city.

There is a shortage of food, poor sanitation, and a poor environment, not to mention electricity, and even running water is difficult to solve.

Fortunately, Li Mingxuan’s vehicle was with the windows closed.

Otherwise, in the hottest May of Mumbai, the smell of a slum without toilets, Li Mingxuan really dared not imagine.

And the toilet problem is not to mention 2006, even A San in 2022 can not solve it.

At this time, even the basic public toilets were pitiful, and the early A San people all pursued the field to use the toilet, which directly confirmed the saying ‘as long as you don’t raise your head, there are thatched houses everywhere’.

It was not until after 2014 that the three governments began to vigorously build toilets and called out a declaration to build 100 million toilets.

It’s amazing!

After watching for a while, Xia Yuqing directly chose to lie down on the seat.

“In China before, I also heard that Ah San is a rich country, and the airport is obviously well built, but this is also…!”

“What you said must be that some domestic people have not stayed in the three countries for a long time, and they are also in the rich area, so they will say this, as for the airport, it is completely a face project!”

Then, Li Mingxuan peeled the nuts while putting them in Youwei’s small mouth

The little girl looked outside and didn’t care at all, and at the age of two and a half, she probably didn’t understand what those people were doing.

Actually, if not for the convoy having patrol open lanes.

Sometimes the patrol would beat back and forth with sticks those who wanted to get close to the convoy, otherwise those people would probably surround the convoy.

Begging from the people in the car.

Looking at his woman’s deflated face, Li Mingxuan said with a smile: “Don’t worry, although the slums are indeed a bit of a big scenery, but the rich area of Mumbai is very good, close to the sea, the environment is also good, it is said that there has also received the British king!” ”

“I hope so!”

Xia Fairy said weakly.
