Reborn as the richest man in India

As this report came out, a lot of controversy immediately arose in Surat.

It is said that Namu wanted the newspaper to come forward to clarify that the report there was untrue, but the newspaper refused, which also triggered an incident where the local police stormed the newspaper and arrested people.

And all these things were reported. This was a newspaper in Gujarat. It can be said that it spread throughout the state very quickly. It didn't take long for the whole country to know.

Things are obviously getting worse.

Qiao Ge couldn't help but admired him. He was indeed an old immortal. Although his official position was not big, his energy was definitely not small.

He should have used the power of the People's Party.

Speaking of which, Lao Xian joined the People's Party shortly after its establishment. He is not considered a big boss now, but there is no problem with the elite backbone. He has been trained and supported by the People's Party, so it is not surprising that he has such ability.

Namu was unable to suppress this kind of thing immediately, which shows that his ability is limited.

Not so capable, but greedy.

In short, after this matter becomes big, it will be difficult to end it.

On the afternoon of the third day as agreed with Lao Xian, the Surat government issued a news announcement that Namu Nanniwadkar would step down.

The new administrator, Hutiho Gokel, parachuted in from the state capital and arrived that night.

As soon as he arrived in Surat, he and Lao Xian came to find Qiao Ge.

Hu Tihe apologized deeply for Namu. He still hoped that Qiao Ge could invest in Surat. People like Namu were only a small number of scum.

Of course, he didn't ask Qiaogo to buy Gaoji's plantation at three times the price.

Hu Tihe means that Qiao Ge can choose another place. As long as he chooses the place, the government's land acquisition will be completed for him, and when the time comes, the land price will not be exorbitant, but will be based on the market price.

Qiao Ge was still satisfied with this statement, but he had an idea in mind.

So the next day, Qiao Ge and Lao Xian went to the place where they last inspected again, which was near Gao Ji's land.

But this time Qiaogo and the others took a boat up the Dabuti River.

"The Dabuti River is now silted up, so we can only use small boats." Lao Xian introduced to Qiao Ge.

Qiao Ge could clearly see small mounds of dark brown soil exposed from time to time near the river bank. These were due to the accumulation of silt. The siltation was really serious.

Even in the middle of the river where the water is the deepest, there are actually many small raised mounds like this under the water, but they are difficult to see underwater, so the river can only be used by small boats like theirs that carry a few people. .

"Approximately how many acres is this land? It's the part in front of Gaoji land near the river." Qiao Ge asked while standing on the boat and pointing to the land not far from the river bank.

The old immortal looked at the area drawn by Qiao Ge, then compared it with the map and said: "Mr. Gupta, I'm afraid it's no less than 1,000 acres."

"Last time, the ownership of these lands still belongs to the government, right?" Qiao Ge asked.

"Yes." When the old immortal said this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Mr. Gupta, is it possible that you have taken a fancy to this land? Although the floods of the Dabuti River are not serious, even if they happen occasionally, the floods are not serious. , but this land is almost along the river, and the terrain is still too low-lying. You see, there is a lot of water there, which is considered a swamp. You can't think that this is government land. It's less. If there is no trouble with expropriation, then just acquire it, right?”

The old immortal is still not very optimistic about this land. If it really needs to be used as planting land, even if there are not floods every year, it will be too much for a few years.

"I don't think anyone else wants this piece of land, so if I want it, the price must be a little better, right?" Qiao Ge asked with a smile.

Lao Xian was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Qiao Ge to be so determined.

"The price is certainly easy to negotiate, but do you really use it as a planting base?" Lao Xian asked.

"I think so." Qiao Ge replied, "You can rest assured that the land price is not high, which does not mean that my investment is small. After all, the area is here, and I will definitely recruit local employees by then."

The old immortal smiled. This is true. As long as Qiao Ge can invest, it can stimulate the local economy and solve many employment problems.

Returning to the Surat Government Building, Lao Xian reported the situation to Hu Tiha.

Hu Tihe was also surprised by Qiao Ge's choice.

After he came to Surat, he immediately understood the local situation.

Because the previous administrator had problems on the land beside the Dabti River, he still had an in-depth understanding of the place.

Knowing that the land Qiaogo chose was low-lying, it was not suitable as a planting base.

But Qiao Ge was so insistent that he couldn't say much.

Since these lands used to be swamp wasteland and no one wanted it, the transfer price was very cheap, 10,000 rupees per acre. Qiaogo chose 1,000 acres, about 400 hectares, with a total price of 10 million.

Surat still values ​​Qogo's investments, which can bring economic benefits to the local area.

This can be regarded as turning wasteland into treasure, and large investors have been introduced.

"Your Excellency, Administrator, aren't you curious why I insist on this land?" Qiao Ge said with a smile.

"It's very strange." Hu Tihe said with a smile.

Everyone is very curious.

"I want to help dredge the Dabuti River." Qiaogo said.

Hu Tihe was stunned for a moment by these words. Didn't he ask why he purchased this land?

Why are they suddenly talking about dredging rivers? Are the two related?

"What do you mean by helping?" Hu Tihe felt a little panicked.

Surat's finances are a bit difficult. It would be really difficult for Qiao Ge to pay for it himself.

When the government attracts investment, why should it help enterprises solve some preliminary problems, such as water, electricity, roads, etc.

For example, the Qiaogo area is mainly flooded, so his request for the government to fund dredging of the river is actually reasonable.

It’s just that the Surat government has no money.

But if Qiao Ge cannot meet some of his basic requirements, he might really stop investing.

"These expenses are all mine." How could Qiao Ge not understand this.

"That's it~~ That's really a great act of kindness by Mr. Gupta, and the people of Surat will be grateful." Hutiha said happily.

He didn't have to pay for it, and Qiao Ge helped dredge the river. This was of course a great thing.

The richest people in Mumbai are so generous, he sighed secretly in his heart.

"But I have a condition." Qiao Ge said.

"Mr. Gupta, please speak." Hutiha said with a smile.

He felt a lot more relaxed, and with this, Qiao Ge gave himself a political achievement.

As for Qiao Ge's conditions, that's natural. As long as they are not too outrageous, I will definitely satisfy him.

"All the silt dug out of the river belongs to me." Qiao Ge said.

"No more?" Hu Tihe was stunned for a moment.

"Gone."

Hu Tihe was a little confused. This condition was not considered a condition at all for the government.

"Of course it's no problem, you can handle it however you want." Hu Tihe said with a smile.

"Boss, do you want to use this sludge?" Hu Di suddenly thought of a possibility.

Qiao Ge did not hide anything: "I am going to dig out the silt and fill it on that piece of land. Can't it raise the ground? The river will be dredged and the water will flow smoothly, so the possibility of the river overflowing will be small. Plus, I If the land is high, I believe there will be no problem of flooding the land."

"Wonderful." The old immortal praised.

Hu Tihe also felt the same way. No wonder Qiao Ge had such a fortune at such a young age. They really didn't expect it.

But even if they thought of it, probably no one would do it.

Because for river dredging, the investment is not small.

Both parties were satisfied, and in default of the contract, Jogo received the land and would also help dredge the Dabuti River.

Back at his residence, Hu Di couldn't help but asked his doubts: "Boss, after all, the investment in dredging will probably far exceed the money for purchasing the land. Isn't it necessarily cost-effective? You can choose other places to purchase it. Of land.”

"This silt is very fertile and suitable for planting." Qiaogo smiled. "Of course, this alone is not enough. If the river is dredged, our vegetables in the future can be transported to Mumbai by ship, which can save a lot of transportation costs. In the long run, this investment is still very cost-effective.”

Hu Di sighed in his heart, he really didn't expect this.

As an assistant, I still need to keep up with some of my boss's ideas. If I can't keep up with them, the assistant is incompetent.

The selected land had a very suitable topography.

Further upstream, the land becomes a bit narrow and long, and the terrain is not suitable.

Moreover, it is not far from the estuary, so the amount of dredging work is not too much. It only needs to dredge the section from this land to the estuary.

After all, the total length of the Dabuti River is more than 700 kilometers, and it is impossible for Chogo to dredge all of it. That is unrealistic.

"Besides, I chose not to leave Surat because I was preparing to bring down the Nanniwadkar Agricultural Company." Jogo added.

"I understand, boss." Hu Di said in a deep voice.

Qiaogo did this not only because Gao Ji was from Wim's side, but also because the other party was in the same industry as him, and it was normal for peers to compete and suppress him.

In particular, this guy was preparing to focus on traditional mid- to low-end agriculture, which made Qiaogo feel a little threatened.

Although the size of Gaoji Company cannot be compared with mine at all, if the other party has such a vision, it cannot be underestimated.

Once given the chance, he might get out of hand.

So now I set up a planting base next to him and compete with him for the market. Even if there is a price war, he will not be able to survive.

Of course, Qiao Ge doesn't deny that this is just to vent. Anyone can come and blackmail him, so what's the point?

Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

Jogo's acquisition of a government swampland as a plantation immediately made headlines in major newspapers.

This is not because of Qiao Ge.

But Namu's use of power for personal gain caused quite a stir, and it was noticed by newspapers across the country.

Then these newspapers learned that Qiaogo was an investor, so many reporters focused on this matter.

"Is this kid crazy?" This was Wim's first feeling after reading the newspaper.

Buying swamp land to build a planting base?

Can anyone think of this?

In Wim's opinion, Qiao Ge is an agricultural person, so he doesn't understand this basic common sense.

Just like for the organic farming company, he learned a lot about this industry.
