I'm a Master in India

Following a whistle, the van's door was pulled open with a bang.

Then one, two, three... With a whoosh, over twenty people poured out.

Their weapons were also varied, but they were all firearms.

The aggressive Honey Badger and Crow were forced to stop in their tracks.

Even the servants by their side felt their legs go weak. With black muzzles pointed at them, the knives in their hands, no matter how sharp, were useless.

"Who are you people?" Crow forced himself to calm down.

"Us?" Ratan chuckled softly, "Ah yes, we haven't introduced ourselves yet."

He fiddled with his pistol a few times, then raised his eyelids, "Sur, from Varanasi."

"This is Mirzapur, you've crossed the line," Honey Badger hissed.

"No, no, no," Ratan shook his pistol, "From today onwards, there, there, and over there, all belong to us."

He pointed at several hills outside the village with his pistol, one by one, with a casual expression, as if he were ordering food.

"That's the Kasa family's territory, it has been for generations!" Honey Badger was so angry he wanted to draw his gun.

Click, click, the dense sound of gun bolts cocking froze his hand in mid-air.

"Be careful not to have an accidental discharge," Ratan reminded him with a smile.

"Are you going to war with Mirzapur?" Crow's face grew even darker.

"War?" Ratan's expression turned strange, then he burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"You—"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Three gunshots, and the scene fell silent.

Ratan lowered his arm and looked at Crow contemptuously, "What right do you have to represent Mirzapur?"

Clang, the knife in a servant's hand opposite him fell to the ground.

Honey Badger's fat face trembled non-stop, and Crow felt as if his throat had been choked.

Ron patted Ratan's shoulder and stepped forward two steps.

"I presume you've already received the requisition documents from Lucknow. There will be a cement factory here in the future, which is related to the Minister's strategic development plan."

"No, you can't do this. The government hasn't given us a single paisa of compensation, that's Kasa family land," Honey Badger protested stubbornly.

"That has nothing to do with us," Ron shrugged, "But seeing as this is our first meeting, I can offer 200,000 rupees as compensation. The mining equipment and workers will stay."

"You're going too far!" Crow trembled with anger.

"Alright, consider what I just said unsaid," Ron took a step back.

Ratan stepped forward and tapped Crow's thin face with his pistol, "Listen, one week from now. Either you leave, or I'll send you away."

He waved his hand and led his men back into the van. Then, ignoring the angry stares of Honey Badger and Crow, they drove away with the rumbling sound of the engine.

"What are you going to do?" Honey Badger asked Crow.

Although both of them shared the Kasa surname, they were not biological brothers, and those few hills were Crow's territory.

"We need to get more guns, we can't let the Varanasi people run wild here," Crow said with hatred.

He believed that the reason he suffered a loss today was due to insufficient firepower. They had the same number of people, but only two pistols.

He and Honey Badger usually lorded over the village and had no need for something like a pistol.

Who knew that today they would encounter such a large force? If they had each had a gun just now, the Varanasi people would never have dared to humiliate him like this.

"Go find Kaleen Bhai? Only he can get military supplies," Honey Badger asked.

"He's also a wicked wolf, the wicked wolf of Mirzapur," Crow hesitated a little.

"Or I can contact a few police officers, but the price is too high. Kaleen Bhai's things are cheap, fifteen hundred rupees a piece."

"Buy them! I'll go negotiate myself," Crow gritted his teeth.

The two beasts cursed and swore as they led their men away, and the tea stall returned to its quiet state once again.

"Kana Village is going to be restless," the tea stall owner cautiously walked out and looked around.

"Are they going to fight?" Munna also poked his head out.

Slap, the tea stall owner slapped him on the back of the head.

"It's a shootout! People are going to die!"

Munna grimaced and shrank back, his face showing a frightened expression, but in his heart, he was already overjoyed.

Fight! It's good to fight!

It would be best if that Brahmin master won, he gave him a reward. As for those two beasts, everyone wished they were dead.

"Those two landlords seem very unwilling," inside the car, Ron curiously fiddled with the Beretta pistol.

"If they're smart enough, they should pack their things and get out of here right now."

Ratan wasn't a pushover. If Ron hadn't been there today, a shootout might have already started.

"We're doing business, we can't always be shouting and killing. If we cause a death the first time we come to Mirzapur, the people here definitely won't welcome us."

"In the East, you have to be like this, just like when I do the marijuana business..."

"Stop, stop, stop, we're building a cement factory, we don't need to have shootouts with people every day."

"Ron, you just don't do proper business..."

"I promised Yadav that no one would die and it wouldn't be reported in the newspapers."

"So many people die in Uttar Pradesh every day, have you seen it reported in the newspapers?"

"But we won't be caught with our hands in the cookie jar. Let's keep a low profile before our cement factory is built."

Alas, it seems the Sur family also needs to expand its influence quickly.

Whether it's with guns, money, or influence, they all need to be strengthened comprehensively.

The cement factory is the first step. It brings not only wealth, but also improved soft power in terms of connections and reputation.

"Don't worry, I won't make a move until I've figured out their background," Ratan stared boredly at the Ganges tributary outside the window.

"What do you mean?" Ron was stunned.

"I left a few men in Mirzapur," Ratan shook his neck, "To make sure those two guys don't have any tricky connections."

"So you deliberately said 'one week from now'?"

"No, I'm just busy celebrating a girl's birthday these few days, I don't have time."

Alright, Ron shouldn't have expected anything from his brain.

"Oh yeah, I haven't seen your movie yet, I'm planning to take Dimpy with me."

"Dimpy? Your girlfriend?"

"Soon to be. Quick, tell me, is this movie suitable for couples?"

"Uh, very suitable. It's best to choose a cinema with a hotel nearby."

"Wow! That hot, no wonder all the reports in Uttar Pradesh are about this movie now."

"Salute to the Inaccessible Mother" has a very good momentum in Uttar Pradesh. Without the difficulties from the film censorship committee, various cinemas are showing it openly.

The only drawback is the news of the girl being raped, which has caused some controversy.

However, this not only did not make the movie unpopular, but instead more people flocked to the cinemas.

How stimulating must the scene be to make even the police unable to resist laying hands on the reporting girl?

Ahem, things are just that bizarre. As it spread, it turned into the police watching the movie and then being unable to resist laying hands on the girl.

Even more bizarre is the Varanasi police station's case closure announcement: the suspect has been arrested!

That's right, the other suspects in the room at the time took the blame.

No, they didn't exactly take the blame, after all, they really did it!

You dare say you didn't do it? The evidence is conclusive!

A few police officers got the first taste, and the suspects finished up. The DNA extracted from the girl's body at the end was mostly theirs.

Absurd! The Uttar Pradesh police handling cases, half-true and half-false.

In the end, the state police even awarded medals to those few police officers, rewarding them for subduing the suspects on the spot.

What could Ron say? Outstanding people and a blessed land, Uttar Pradesh!

He was already numb. He was more concerned about how much profit "Salute to the Inaccessible Mother" could bring him.

"Not bad, over 16 million rupees in box office in the first week, a big profit!"

"Hey, I told you so, Lena and I are very good at this," Mary even started drinking red wine.

"That's right, we are the queens of Bollywood!" Lena cheered and raised her glass.

They were very happy and excited. For this movie, they had almost put in all their savings.

Now it was clear that the movie was going to make a big profit. The excitement of becoming rich made them want to scream loudly.

Ron didn't join the two drunkards' revelry. He was still looking at the cinema chain report in his hand.

Once a movie is released, the money comes back very quickly because the audience pays in cash.

The people Ron and Balaram sent to the countryside also took away the box office share after each screening.

On the other hand, the shares from the cinemas in several major cities in the north were still being settled and were expected to arrive in a few days.

But it didn't matter, this didn't affect Ron's calculation of his profit.

With a box office of 16 million, as the producer, he got 60%, which is 9.6 million rupees.

Deducting Balaram's 10% as the distributor, there was still 8.64 million left.

This money is tax-free within Uttar Pradesh, a pure profit.

Oh, wait, according to the investment ratio, Mary and Lena also have to take away one-third.

They were as close as can be with Ron, but business is business.

Ron was never stingy with the money that should be given.

Over 5.7 million rupees, easily put into his pocket.

This was just the first week, and Uttar Pradesh would contribute a lot more box office later. Then came Bihar, Rajasthan...

Distributors from other regions would also come flocking upon hearing the news. Even if a revenue-sharing model wasn't feasible, the distribution rights could still sell for a good price.

Ron didn't have much experience, but he had called Shiv, who estimated that the box office of "Salute to the Inaccessible Mother" could exceed 50 million rupees.

For Indian movies, the first week is crucial. These seven days determine the box office trend of the movie.

If the response is not good, other states where it hasn't been released will be affected. Clearly, "Salute to the Inaccessible Mother" had a good start.

Uttar Pradesh, indeed Ron's promised land!

If the box office really reaches 50 million, deducting the entertainment tax from other states, he might even earn two to three million rupees this time.

How much profit has Sur Electronics made from its crazy shipments in the past six months?

Less than 40 million!

A low-budget Bollywood movie, filmed in less than two months, with a profit of nearly 30 million!

The entertainment industry is indeed a highly profitable one.

Gamble and turn a bicycle into a BMW, of course, it could also be a complete loss.

This is a dangerous game, you can't guarantee you'll hit the jackpot every time.

Ron had tasted the sweetness, and he would definitely not give up on Bollywood.

Consumer electronics, entertainment, mining, service industry, he wanted them all.

"Alright, girls, it's nine o'clock now. You have a flight to catch tomorrow morning, so we can play Jenga for about an hour," Ron put down the report and called out.

"One hour is not enough, I order you, you must last two hours!" Lena pounced over.

"Hey, be careful," Ron caught her.

Mary and Lena had to go back to Mumbai tomorrow to deal with Bollywood matters, but Ron couldn't leave for the time being.

He still had to keep an eye on things here in Uttar Pradesh until the cement factory matter was settled.

Speaking of which, with the end of the rainy season, there was also a pile of things waiting for him in Mumbai.

If it weren't for the mining business, which was related to Ron's foundation, he would have returned to Mumbai long ago.

He just didn't know if those two beasts were willing to back down. Tomorrow was the deadline, and he needed the initial plan for the mine no matter what.

PS: After a month of continuous explosive updates, I can't keep up anymore, so I'll slow down for a bit.

Before the launch, I promised to update explosively until the end of March, and now I have exceeded the task.

The next plot is going to get intense, so I need to write it well. Thank you for your support, bosses!
