I read that Damu Anna received a business proposal. What were the details of that deal and how did it affect him?

The story in Chapter 25 recounts a business proposal Damu Anna received from a friend in Mumbai. The proposal was for a partnership in the cotton trade. The friend's letter outlined a plan to buy cotton, predicting that its price would rise instantly. He promised a net profit of two lakh rupees, which would be split evenly, giving each partner one lakh. The friend urged Damu Anna to be 'smart' and act quickly, calling the business 'clean and safe' and warning that those who don't seize such opportunities repent later. Upon receiving this letter, Damu Anna's mind was thrown into a state of turmoil.
