King: \'\'Call him with due respect".
Englishman:"Your majesty. We want to establish a company in India. This company will turn the raw materials into valuable products,as well as it will provide employment to many people."
King:"What about the profit that you will be making from this trade?"
Englishman: 50 percentage will be given to the state.\'\'
Indian Tradesmen:" Excuse me your highness. Such a trade will harm the local tradesmen. We don\'t need such proposal "
