Reborn as the richest man in India

Benfamo was overjoyed that Qiao Ge was willing to acquire it. To him, these words were like the sound of nature.

But the second half of Qiaogo's next sentence made him a little confused: "For a loser like me, what else can Mr. Gupta value?"

Qiao Ge could see that Benfamo had been hit really hard.

However, this Famo was very determined before. If it had been someone else, he would have collapsed a long time ago.

"Actually, I quite agree with your idea, which is the business idea." Qiao Ge said.

"Really?" Benfamo's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again, "Mr. Gupta, if you are really willing to acquire it, you'd better push that commercial building for reconstruction..."

"No, maybe I can make this project better." Qiaogo smiled.

Benfamo couldn't figure out Qiao Ge's true thoughts for a while.

Could it be that he is really optimistic about his idea?

Regarding the Wanda Plaza model in the previous life, Qiao Ge felt that it could be tried, and it was very necessary.

Now his wealth is growing fast enough, but the relationship with the government is improving too slowly.

If there is a huge gap between the two, if you have more and more money, it may bring disaster.

It's like a child walking on the road carrying a box of money, but the robbers around him don't come to snatch it.

So Qiaogo felt that he needed to tie himself up with the government as soon as possible.

Now, both the federal government and state governments are short of money.

Well, I am using this new business model to speculate on surrounding land prices. I believe the local government is willing to cooperate.

And all this definitely requires a stunning start.

Then the Benfamo project in New Delhi is a perfect fit.

The main part of the commercial building of his project has been completed, leaving only the subsequent decoration.

After Qiao Ge took over, he was able to save a lot of time.

Otherwise, if we start from scratch, we may not be able to complete it in less than three years.

And here, Qiao Ge feels that it can be opened in half a year to a year, and people will soon be able to see the impact of dimensionality reduction brought by the experience of later generations.

As for how to contact the government in New Delhi, Jogo naturally focused on Manmohan.

He is in Mumbai now. If he misses this good opportunity, Jogo might as well hang himself.

Benfamo's negotiations went smoothly, and Qiao Ge readily agreed to the 700 million acquisition.

This surprised Benfamo.

Benfa did not refuse Qiaogo's invitation.

In his mind, it was unlikely that Qiao Ge really agreed with his business idea.

The reason why I was invited was probably because I was familiar with this project.

Qiao Ge hasn’t said much to Benfamo about his plans for this project, because there are too many things that need to be done to achieve his goals.

After opening, how to get those high-end brands to enter is a very critical issue.

Qiao Ge definitely wants to be a commercial shopping mall for the wealthy class, so the brands inside cannot be accessible to everyone.

Think about Wanda Plaza in the previous life. It had stable cooperative customers, and these brands almost followed Wanda Plaza’s lead.

Every time one is opened, these brands will settle in.

Due to Wanda Plaza's popularity, it occupies a dominant position in various cooperations.

Now Qiao Ge has just started, let alone taking the lead, it is probably asking them to settle in, and it also needs to give them a lot of discounts.

After your own model is successful, this situation should be able to be reversed.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and Qiao Ge is mentally prepared.

On January 1, 1987, Qiaogo officially acquired Benfamo's long-unfinished project in the suburbs of New Delhi for a purchase price of 700 million.

The news spread quickly in newspapers and spread across the country in an instant.

After all, Benfamo's project was often in the news. From the initial enthusiasm to the final cynicism, it was a disaster.

Although Qiaogo has created many miracles, many people are still ready to see Qiaogo's jokes.

700 million, this price is still too high in their opinion.

Moreover, the layout of Benfamo is completely inconsistent with the current aesthetics. What does it mean to put that weird shopping mall in the most important position?

Tear down and rebuild?

Then the cost incurred by Qiao Ge would be even greater.

In December 1986, the net profit was 2.1 billion, which was similar to Qiaogo’s estimate.

After paying off the purchase price of Benfamo, nearly US$50 million was transferred to Panda Foreign Trade in this month, equivalent to 600 million rupees, so Qiaogo still had 1.2 billion in his account.

In the next six months, Qiao Ge believes that he can still guarantee a net profit of at least 2.1 billion every month.

In other words, half a year later, not counting his previous assets, profits alone will make him a billionaire.

It’s just that Qiao Ge can’t let the money sit in his bank account and earn interest. Wouldn’t that be an idiot?

All the money I earn cannot be transferred to Panda Foreign Trade Company in time, so a lot of funds will be accumulated in China.

Where this money goes, it can be used to implement its own Gupta Square plan.

After all, the investment in these square projects is still very large, and it is really difficult to bear without strong funds.

Although the bank could provide loans, Qiao Ge felt that he didn't have the ability to do so as Wanda was so crazy.

Especially the banks in India are also full of countless uncertainties, so I can't trust them too much.

So whether it is the investment and utilization of its huge funds, or the need to establish strong government relations as soon as possible, this Gupta Square plan can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, or perhaps more birds.

Qiaogo met Manmohan through Bupeng.

Manmohan has recently stayed in Mumbai as the auction for petrochemical licenses takes place in ten days.

There were so many people in Bombay who wanted to visit him.

Mainly those who want to enter the petrochemical industry.

How could Manmohan not understand what they were thinking, so he refused them all. During this period, he kept talking and didn't see anyone.

However, Manmohan agreed to Bu Peng's invitation.

But there are some changes. Manmohan did not come to Bupeng, but Bupeng secretly took Qiao Ge to Manmohan's residence in Mumbai.

"Qiaogo, if people know that I have met you, I don't know how many people in Mumbai will be dissatisfied with me." Manmohan looked at Qiaogo and said, "If what you said does not satisfy me, you have to accept it. punishment."

Originally, he didn't want to see anyone, not even Bupeng. This was to avoid suspicion.

It’s just that Bupeng called and said that Qiao Ge had a very important matter and wanted to see him, which might be able to effectively increase government revenue.

If there is anything that is Manmohan's biggest problem now, it must be the rising fiscal deficit.

The annual government financial expenditure budget, etc., is one of the responsibilities of their planning committee.

This kind of power is very powerful, such as the budget of a certain department for the next year, which state can launch what projects next year, or push it forward.

Anyway, these all involve money.

Therefore, Manmohan agreed to meet Qiao Ge.

In addition to matters related to government finances, Qiaogo also promised that his topic would not involve petrochemical licenses, that he would not participate in the auction, and would not carry any messages for others.

Otherwise, Manmohan really might not meet him.

"Punishment?" Qiao Ge didn't expect Manmohan to say that.

"It's not a difficult thing for you. If you can't satisfy me, you have to promise me to borrow 1 billion from the government for five years. The interest will be based on the bank interest rate and you won't suffer any loss. How about that?" Manmohan said.

Qiao Ge was speechless for a while. Isn't this the same as the deposit for a petrochemical license?

They were forced to pay 3 billion to bid for the auction, but they didn't get any benefits, so they were forced to borrow 1 billion?

If you don't let yourself suffer a loss, just with the bank's interest, in five years, your one billion will be lost to your grandma's house.

"Mr. Singh, is the government so short of money? What use can I have with this little money?" Qiao Ge was speechless for a while.

Qiaogo knew in his heart that although Manmohan was not the Minister of Finance or the Prime Minister, he really took the country's financial issues very seriously.

This shows that the fiscal deficit is really serious.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a request.

"Who says it's useless?" Manmohan said, "I know you can get it."

"Then let's talk about me first." Qiao Ge said with a smile.

If his one billion can be exchanged for Manmohan's friendship, then it's just a loan.

However, Qiao Ge is still very confident in his plan, because if it succeeds, the effect will be far more than one billion loans.

"I have an idea. If implemented, it may bring tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of revenue to the government." Qiaogo said.

"Qiao Ge, don't talk nonsense." Bupeng was startled.

When Qiao Ge asked him to contact Manmohan before, he said there were ways to solve some financial problems, but he didn't know the details.

He believed that Qiao Ge would not talk nonsense, and he knew that Manmohan was currently troubled by the financial aspect, so he agreed.

Now I hear Qiao Ge saying that it can bring in tens or hundreds of billions of revenue. Is there such a big project?

The petrochemical industry doesn’t even dare to say that.

It's simply too exaggerated.

In his opinion, if Qiao Ge can help Manmohan solve tens of billions, even if it is several billion, it will be considered a success.

Bu Peng certainly understands some of Qiao Ge's thoughts.

Jogo's background in the government is weak, and it is completely understandable that he would want to get to know a powerful figure like Manmohan.

Bu Peng is also willing to help Qiao Ge.

But Qiao Ge can't use such exaggerated stunts to attract everyone's attention. You must know that Manmohan still likes to do practical things, and doesn't like people who talk nonsense and do things in a mess.

Qiao Ge's statement will easily be disliked by Manmohan.

"Let him say it." Manmohan glanced at Bu Peng and said.

He still wanted to hear what Qiao Ge had to say.

In his opinion, Qiao Ge should have some ways to increase fiscal revenue, but such a large amount of revenue must be an exaggeration.

Don't say hundreds of billions, even if there are tens of billions, he will not pursue Qiao Ge's exaggerated statement.

“I just acquired Benfarmo Jaeger’s project in New Delhi,” Jogo said.

"I saw it in the newspaper." Manmohan shook his head.

Qiaogo is definitely well-known now, even if Manmohan sees reports about him, he will take a second look.

Plus, Ben Farmer’s project itself is eye-catching.

As for Qiao Ge's project to acquire Benfamo, he doesn't think there is any problem with it.

As long as many of the relationships are straightened out, the price of 700 million cannot be said to be more profit, but it will not lose much.

Now that Qiao Ge has acquired it, he should have some ideas.

Manmohan is not like most people who dislike Qiao Ge.

"Don't you think this project can bring hundreds of billions of revenue to the government?" Manmohan suddenly felt something in his heart and couldn't help but hastily added.

"That's right." Qiao Ge said loudly.

Bu Peng's eyes widened. He really wanted to remind Qiao Ge not to go too far in front of Manmohan, otherwise it would be counterproductive.

But he didn't say anything in the end because he felt that Qiao Ge was not that unwise.

"Say it, I'll listen." Manmohan said calmly.

His face was calm, but his heart was really a little turbulent.

He could see and hear that Qiao Ge was really confident.

Could it be that this kid can really do it?

If the fiscal revenue can be increased by 100 billion, then the current deficit problem will not have to worry so much.

Because of these things, he couldn't eat well or sleep well.

This was considered to have piqued Qiao Ge's interest.

"I would like to ask, what would happen if Benfamo's idea was realized?" Qiao Ge asked.

"Your kid still wants to take the exam for us?" Manmohan said with a slight smile, "If he succeeds, he will naturally make money. How can you come to acquire his project?"

When Manmohan said this, seeing Qiao Ge staring at him with a smile, he suddenly felt that his answer was a bit hasty.

This kid obviously doesn't want such a simple answer.

"If his project is really successful, and the land he acquired around it is used to build buildings, the housing prices will rise sharply and the profits will be very high." Manmohan added.

"It's a pity that he failed. The idea was good, but the result was not good." Bupeng sighed, "Qiaogo, why do I feel that you are optimistic about Benfamo's idea? Are you planning to continue his plan back then?"

Qiao Ge was not surprised that Bupeng thought of this.

They are all powerful people, and it is easy to detect clues from some of their words.

"Yes, I very much agree with Benfamo's plan, that's why I made the acquisition." Qiaogo said, "He made many mistakes before that led to difficulties in the project. With his lessons in mind, I can avoid a lot of mistakes in the future. Question. Mr. Singh, you are absolutely right when you say that house prices will rise sharply. What about the land prices?"

"Of course land prices have also increased, but they are already included in the house prices." Manmohan smiled, but as soon as he said this, his expression suddenly changed, "You mean those around you that have not been bought by this law? land?"

Bu Peng's eyes lit up and he realized it.

"But the question is, how do you ensure the success of this project? If you want to significantly increase the surrounding land prices, then this success cannot be ordinary. It must be a big fire and an amazing success." Manmohan said very He quickly raised his concerns.

As for house prices and land prices, the main thing is to be favorable.

For example, whether the surrounding traffic will be improved, and whether other hospitals, shopping malls, etc. have complete supporting facilities.

For now, these benefits are conducive to the rise in land prices, but the rise will not be too outrageous.

Therefore, the revenue growth from government land sales is probably still limited.

There is obviously a big gap between the fiscal revenue plan of 100 billion mentioned by Qiao Ge.

"So I want to make this project what you call an amazing project, Mr. Singer." Jogo smiled.

"Oh?" Manmohan was very interested, "Can you elaborate more?"

So Qiao Ge expressed some of his ideas to create a luxurious shopping district for the rich, providing one-way services for eating, drinking, having fun, and experiencing various experiences.

Of course, most of the commercial complexes in the previous life were ordinary and people-friendly.

But it's different now. In India, that was the first one.

Whether it is high-end or ordinary, and how it is positioned, it is all up to Qiao Ge.

Based on the national conditions here, ordinary people may not be able to afford it. In these places, rich people, at least the middle and wealthy classes, are the main consumers.

Some of the experiences in the previous life are of course shocking now, and the two bosses are amazed from time to time.

If Qiao Ge is really allowed to do it, then this area will really become a landmark building, and there will be no problem at all if the surrounding land prices skyrocket.

"Qiaogo, even if you do it, no matter how the land prices in New Delhi rise, it won't bring in tens or even hundreds of billions more to the government's finances, right?" Manmohan asked.

"So, I am not just building such a shopping mall in New Delhi. This model can be promoted to major cities across the country." Qiao Ge said proudly, "For this reason, I have prepared a large amount of funds to invest in these shopping malls." For the project, we must first ensure that construction starts in several major cities.”

"A large sum of money? How many billion?" Bupeng asked curiously.

"I think it will cost several billion anyway." Qiao Ge said with a smile, "By then, projects in these dozen major cities can be carried out at the same time."

These words made the two of them look at each other.

I have to say that Qiao Ge’s plan is very bold.

More than a dozen major cities are starting construction at the same time, which is a great test of financial resources. If Qiao Ge dares to invest in such a large amount, it is because he has identified this industry.

"If major big cities also succeed, then I will move to other small and medium-sized cities. Mr. Singh, do you think this can boost the government's fiscal revenue?" Qiaogo asked again.

Manmohan was silent. If Qiaogo's plans were realized, the government's fiscal revenue would definitely be greatly increased.

There are so many cities across the country, not to mention all, even half or even one-third, the increase in fiscal revenue will not be small.

This guy really wasn't bragging, he really came up with a very good solution to the financial problem.

"It just takes a few years." Manmohan sighed.

The land transfer will not happen all at once, and will only follow up after Qiaogo's project is successful.

"Mr. Singer, are you trying to force others to do something difficult?" Qiao Ge said a little speechlessly, "To increase fiscal revenue by hundreds of billions at a time, only God can do it."

Manmohan couldn't help laughing and said: "I am greedy. However, there are still big problems with your project. For example, how do you ensure that the luxurious decoration of the shopping mall can attract wealthy people to pay for it? It's not that you want to It can be done.”
