Reborn as the richest man in India

After reaching the deal, Li Shenjing warmly entertained Moeller and his party.

"Is this little brother Indian?" Li Shenjing asked Qiao Ge during the dinner.

"Yes, this time I came with Uncle Maupassant to see the world." Qiao Ge replied.

"I still don't know what your name is?" Li Shenjing asked again.

Qiao Ge was stunned for a moment. Generally speaking, a boy like himself is not worthy of the attention of a big shot like the other party, right?

Just saying hello is enough.

But since the other party asked, he really couldn't answer: "Just call me Qiao Ge."

"Qiao Ge? Okay, I've written down the name." Li Shenjing smiled slightly.

After Qiao Ge and his party left, Li Shenjing's assistant asked with some confusion: "Boss, why do I feel that you are a little interested in that young man? On the contrary, you are interested in Mr. Maupassant~~"

During the dinner just now, he found that his boss had some communication with Maupassant, but it was relatively general and the topics they talked about were very common.

If it is just such a relationship, it can be seen that his boss does not pay attention to them, so there is no need to entertain them in person.

But the boss did it again, which made him a little confused.

"You." Li Shenjing glanced at his assistant with a smile, "Don't be fooled by the surface and not see the real dragon clearly."

The assistant still didn't quite understand what Li Shenjing said, but Li Shenjing had already walked away.

Real dragon?

Could it be that kid?

is it possible?

The assistant felt that he should pay more attention to this kid next.

Li Shenjing had a good idea.

When Binlin Plantation Company said it wanted to acquire his plantation two days ago, he immediately investigated Binlin Company.

This is a foreign-invested company, there is no doubt about it.

Before, he thought that the Frenchman Maupassant was responsible, because according to the investigation data, it was Maupassant who came forward in the past few months, such as making connections with the government, inspecting plantations, etc.

It wasn't until during the negotiation that he noticed some small interactions between Maupassant and Qiaogo.

He found that it was Qiao Ge who made the final decision, and Maupassant obviously wanted to ask for instructions.

After all these years, he is still very confident in his vision and will not be wrong.

So he quickly remembered another inconspicuous piece of information in the report, which was that the specific manager of Binlin Company was an Indian.

Thinking this way, he realized that the Indians were the real owners of this company.

Maupassant must have been invited by the other party to decorate the facade. This kind of operation is actually not uncommon. After all, foreigners in developed countries are still very popular. It is convenient to do everything. Some things are even more convenient than locals like myself. And preferential policies.

And Qiao Ge should be the son of that Indian.

"Perhaps sometime I can go and meet this Indian colleague who has the same vision as me." Li Shenjing thought to himself.

The colleague he was thinking of was, of course, the old Gupta.

Judging from Maupassant’s actions, Benlin Company is obviously preparing to make a big splash in the palm oil industry.

The current situation is very unfavorable for the palm oil industry, and under such circumstances, I found someone who had the same idea. Wouldn't it feel like a confidant?

My own IOI Group's entry into the palm oil market was a bit aggressive in the past few years, its expansion was a bit fast, and its pace was a bit large, which made many established companies a bit hostile, so it was more or less under some pressure.

Then you can find some other allies, such as foreign companies.

He believes that the palm oil market will be huge in the future, and I am afraid that it will not work alone.

However, these and this price alone will not allow him to sell the plantation. The main reason is that he needs a large amount of funds to compete for another plantation that he likes.

Otherwise, even if that plantation is isolated from his many plantations, he will not let it go easily.

Most of Li Shenjing's guesses were correct, but one thing was still wrong.

Old Gupta was in charge, but the real decision-maker was Qogo.

This kind of thing is too bizarre. If you are not familiar with it, you can really see it.

After returning, Qiaogo immediately completed transactions with the surrounding plantation owners, and some procedures from the government were quickly passed. In addition to foreign-funded enterprises, of course there were other reasons.

Due to the recent bad news about the future of palm oil, the situation is a bit unstable, especially the owners of these farms are panic-stricken, which has caused a huge impact on palm oil-related industries.

Therefore, when it was discovered that someone had taken over the plantation, the government naturally passed it quickly to avoid conflicts.

In the end, Qiaogo spent a total of nearly 120 million ringgit to acquire 16,000 hectares of oil palm plantations, all of which were less than 2 years old, equivalent to about 7,500 ringgit per hectare.

After the acquisition was completed, Qiaogo went to HSBC to mortgage the plantations and obtained a loan of RM70 million, less than 60% of the loan amount.

Originally, 70% was acceptable, but the main reason is that now everyone is not optimistic about the palm oil industry, and the corresponding loan limit has also been reduced.

Another 8,000 hectares of plantations were purchased for RM70 million. After all, the nearby low-priced plantations were almost acquired for the first time. Now these plantations are more expensive, about RM8,750 per hectare.

As a result, Qiaogo owns a total of 24,000 hectares of oil palm plantations.

In fact, there used to be more than a dozen plantations. Later, several plantations were adjacent to each other and were merged by Qiaogo. So now it is divided into 6 parks in total. The distance between these 6 parks is not too far.

The scale of tens of thousands hectares is already considered large for a plantation company.

Especially a new company that has just arrived.

After acquiring the plantation, Benlin Plantation Company still has about 10 million ringgit in funds to operate the company. After all, managing the plantation requires recruiting workers, fertilizing, spraying pesticides, etc. These expenses cannot be ignored.

According to the average standard of oil palm plantations, one worker can be responsible for 8 hectares. If you own 24,000 hectares, you will need more than 3,000 people.

Qiao Ge couldn’t help but remember that in his previous life, there was a shortage of oil palm plantation workers in Malay.

Most of the workers are imported from Indonesia.

During the epidemic, the Malay government failed to allow foreign workers to enter, resulting in a shortage of workers in oil palm plantations. Palm fruits were not picked in time, and most of them rotted on the trees, causing heavy losses.

In fact, in the previous life, as the area of ​​oil palm plantations in Indonesia was getting larger and larger, the country also needed a large number of workers, so fewer workers went abroad to work in Malaysia.

Who wants to leave their hometown when they have a job at home?

Of course, there is no worker shortage problem in Malay now, because the current plantation area is much worse than in previous lives.

The terrain of oil palm plantations is complex, and the harvesting conditions of palm fruits are different, so it is difficult to promote mechanization. Even in the previous life, manual work was still the main method, especially picking.

Qiao Ge stayed in Malay for almost a month, not half a month as expected, but the results of this month made Qiao Ge very satisfied.

Maureen Maupassant once asked Qiaogo that after the acquisition of the plantation was completed, he should be able to take a rest, right?

He wants to go back to France.

The answer Qiaogo gave him was that he would probably have to stay in Malay for the next one or two years because he needed to continue to acquire plantations.

Encouraged by Qiao Ge's generous bonus, Maupassant's idea of ​​returning to China was immediately extinguished.

There is nothing happier than making money.

Qiao Ge dares to say this because the three major cash cow companies have given him strong confidence. It can be said that every month he can inject funds into Binlin Plantation Company through Panda Foreign Trade Company, and then continue to acquire plantations.

The current price of plantations is at a historical low, and Qiaogo does not think it will remain so low.

Even if there are few people like myself and Li Shenjing who are optimistic about the palm oil industry, there must be some.

If you don’t scan the goods at this time, if the speed is slow, there will be no such low-price plantations.

Once the situation is reversed, no one will sell it anymore, let alone the high price.

So these few years are the best time for acquisitions.

"Boss, that young Indian man has returned to China, and the Indian man who stayed here to manage is his father." The assistant came in and reported to Li Shenjinghui.

He knew that his boss was more interested in Indians than Maupassant, a Frenchman.

"Got it." Li Shenjing responded, then looked at the report in his hand, "24,000 hectares, acquired with mortgage, really courageous."

"Boss?" The assistant didn't quite understand what the boss said.

"This is the latest news I got. Binlin Plantation Company acquired 24,000 hectares of plantation this month." Li Shenjing threw the report in front of her assistant.

After the assistant picked it up and took a look, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Boss, it seems that they have the same idea as you, boss, and are very optimistic about the palm oil industry."

"Yes, I'm very optimistic about it." Li Shenjing said with a smile, "I have met someone who is of the same mind. You should pay more attention to the developments of Binlin Company in the future."

"What?" the assistant couldn't help but asked hurriedly, "Boss, do you think they will continue to acquire? Probably not? If they have enough funds, do they need a mortgage? And if they have sufficient funds, they can definitely continue. It seems to have stopped now.”

"Maybe they are still raising funds." Li Shenjing pondered for a while and said, "We also have to increase our efforts to raise funds and continue to acquire plantations."

Li Shenjing had been thinking about the financial problem of Binlin Plantation for several days.

Judging from all indications, this time it should be all their funds.

But if you lack funds, you should not purchase plantations that have not yet produced fruit, because even if they bear fruit next, the quantity will be limited.

It will take several years to reach its peak period. It will not make any money at all in these years, and it will even have to operate at a loss in the first few years.

So this operation of Binlin Company made him a little confused.

It should be a more reliable guess that Binlin Company will raise funds together and then invest in this industry.

It must be said that the other party is still very ambitious, so that it can occupy the source of the palm oil industry as quickly as possible.

But the risk is also very high, because it is basically in the investment stage now, unlike investing in plantations during the peak production period. Although the price is high, palm oil is sold every year, and a lot of money can be recovered.

Once Binlin Company cannot keep up with its follow-up funds, it is very likely that the capital chain will be disconnected, and it will only end in disgrace.

Li Shenjing felt that she had already been said to be very radical, but she didn't expect to meet someone even more radical now.

It’s true that there are mountains beyond the mountains and heaven beyond the sky.

"Boss, do you want to go to India to check the details of Binlin Company? Or France?" the assistant asked after thinking for a while.

"It's not necessary." Li Shenjing waved her hands and said, "We are not sworn enemies. We might be able to cooperate in the future. However, it is up to you to keep an eye on the activities of Binlin Company in Malay. You must report their activities to me in time. report."

On November 21, Jogo returned to Mumbai.

Early the next morning, he summoned the heads of various companies in the conference room of the Gupta Department Store. Three days before his return, he informed them that they had been waiting in Mumbai.

The most amazing thing this time is naturally our three major cash flow companies.

The mineral water department has started to gain momentum in the month since I went to Malaysia. Customers who have signed up for organic agricultural products will add mineral water because this mineral water is very suitable for their appetites.

Qiao Ge divides the mineral water into luxury version and hardcover version of Ganges Source Ice Spring.

The luxury bottle is made of crystal glass, which is crystal clear and carefully designed.

The transportation is all by air, the output is limited, and it looks high-end at first glance.

These are provided to the rich and wealthy, and are ordered by government departments in small quantities for use in some high-end hotels. Most of them are hardcover.

There are actually two types of hardcover models, one is bottled water, and the other is bottled water.

Although it is a plastic bottle and a plastic bucket, Qiaogo has also put great effort into the design of the style and packaging.

Of course, bottled water is of higher quality than bottled water, so the price of bottled water of the same weight is three times that of bottled water.

The price of bottled water is relatively low, mainly due to volume.

For example, the amount of water consumed for washing and cooking must be several times that of drinking water alone, so as long as the volume is large, the profit will not be low.

Hardcover models are mainly transported to all parts of the country by railway, and some are transported to the nearest port, and then sent to major ports across the country by sea, and then transferred to the destination by train or truck.

After all, Qiaogo has its own shipping company and freight company, so there is absolutely no problem in terms of shipping capacity, and it can also better control costs.

Jenner's previous suppression of their shipping business has left them with a bit of excess shipping capacity. Even though several oil tankers have begun to help a state-owned oil company transport oil from the Middle East, other ships can only park at the port.

It can be said that the transportation of mineral water in Qiaogo is carried out by sea, land and air at the same time.

The companies acquired in the early stages finally came in handy.

Otherwise, no matter how popular the product is, you can’t ship the goods and deliver them to customers in time, so what’s the use?

It's like leaving money there, and you can only look at it, but you can't take it away. How miserable is that?

The price of hardcover mineral water and bottled water is more than ten times that of similar products on the market. This pricing is the same as that of organic agricultural products.

The deluxe model is five times as expensive as the regular model.

Compared with organic agricultural products, mineral water is more profitable.

Isn’t there a saying?

Just a porter of nature.

The essence is revealed, which is to put nature’s water in bottles and sell it for money.

Of course, we don’t care about the production procedures and costs for the time being.

The main thing is to sell the concept. The cost of actually producing mineral water is still very low.

Since the factory can only be in Uttar Pradesh, the cost of transportation accounts for a large part.

The transportation cost is much higher than that of organic agricultural products. After all, agricultural products generally have planting bases in the suburbs of major cities and can be supplied nearby, reducing transportation costs.

Of course, because the growth steps of organic agricultural products are more complicated, the cost is much higher. Generally speaking, the cost is still higher than that of mineral water.

With the addition of TV series, mineral water quickly occupied the high-end market and replaced many foreign products.

No matter how high Qiaogo sells it here, it is still more than half cheaper than imported products from abroad.

For the rich, they may not be too sensitive to price, but if they measure too much, the account can still be settled.

In addition, the federal government paid the bill, and the exquisite and luxurious design and packaging of Qiaogo conquered them, which is very sincere.

This kind of design is more in line with the local Indian aesthetics and also shows their noble status.

You can use this water for your own use or to entertain distinguished guests.

In just one month, mineral water has signed a one-year cooperation contract of 2.5 billion nationwide, with a net profit of 1.8 billion, and the same half of the advance payment of 1.25 billion.

The total annual cost is about 700 million, and the monthly cost is about 60 million.

So just half of the advance payment has covered one year's costs, and there is still an income of 550 million. The other half of the balance payment at the end of the year is pure profit.

Next, we will slowly dig deeper. For example, in some small and medium-sized cities, at least 500 million more contracts can be added, but these will be much slower.

Because Neil's distribution company was established and started at the same time, and now it is overloaded to meet the needs of these big cities, and everything needs a process.

Mineral water retail is also crazy. It is very popular among the middle class and ordinary elites. Its monthly sales exceed 600 million and its net profit is nearly 500 million, which is still growing.

Mainly hardcover models, and occasionally some luxury models.

In Qiao Ge's view, there is still a market size of tens of billions in mineral water retail. In addition to the replacement purchases by the rich, it can promote the consumption of some middle-class people. Because they had no better choices before, this market will only be available in the future. It will get bigger and bigger.

The net profit of clothing this month is 500 million, and the ten garment factories are working at full capacity.

Sen'ao now laments Qiao Ge's previous foresight. If the factory had not been expanded in advance, how much would have been lost?

But even so, the clothes of the Qiaogo clothing brand are basically sold out as soon as they arrive, and they are still in short supply.

This is the power of Ramayana. Its influence is so great that it far exceeds that of previous lives.

For this reason, Qiao Ge asked Senao to continue to build branch factories so as to meet production capacity.

Moreover, the scale of garment factories in Mumbai needs to be expanded.

Although the land price and labor here are much higher than other places, Qiao Ge thinks it is still a good deal.

To build the factory in Mumbai into an industry benchmark, one is large scale, and the other is that in a metropolis like Mumbai, the scale and location show its strength and enhance the brand value.
