Reborn as the richest man in India

On the way home, Qiaogo thought about what he had told Huida in New Delhi, which was to enter the grain industry.

In fact, Qiao Ge thinks that it is not just rice, but also food that he cannot let go.

The main foods are naturally rice, wheat and corn.

In India, rice has the highest yield, followed by wheat, with both accounting for more than 80% of the total output.

Last year's grain output was about 150 million tons, including about 90 million tons of rice, about 50 million tons of wheat, and about 10 million tons of corn and others.

Punjab, known as the granary of India, covers an area of ​​50,000 square kilometers, which is not large among the states. However, it accounts for 2% of the country's arable land and provides 50% of the country's commercial grain.

These grains are mainly used to supply major cities such as New Delhi and Mumbai.

In fact, Punjab is called the granary of India. This does not mean that it has the largest output. Large states like Uttar Pradesh produce much more grain than Punjab.

But there is a problem here, that is, Uttar Pradesh has the largest grain output. This is due to its large land area and being the most populous state. So the grain produced is basically consumed by the people of the state.

This means that there is not much surplus grain to sell, and the amount of commercial grain is negligible.

This is almost the same in most other states, which basically digest it internally.

Punjab is different. It has a small population and its output per unit area is among the best in the country. This allows them to have a lot of surplus grain every year to become a granary to supply commercial grain to other big cities.

This situation arises, of course, due to the strategic location of Punjab, whose name means the place where five rivers flow.

The plains impacted by the five major rivers are fertile. Coupled with the existence of the five major river systems, irrigation has an advantage and ensures agricultural water use, so this place has become the granary of India.

It is said that most of India is tropical. It stands to reason that rice can be harvested three times a year, which is very advantageous.

In fact this is not the case.

India's climate is divided into dry season and rainy season. During the rainy season from June to October, all the rain for the year may fall in one fell swoop. During the other dry seasons, the country has to rely on these rainwater stocks to survive.

Due to imperfect water conservancy facilities, high temperatures and droughts are prone to occur, leaving people without water to drink, let alone farmers.

Plus other effects, like fertilizers.

The current use of chemical fertilizers in India is actually very low, which has led to a decline in production.

Unlike in previous lives, India used a large amount of cheap and low-quality chemical fertilizers, which led to soil hardening and so on.

In short, there are various reasons.

Some of the reasons cannot be changed, but Qiao Ge feels that manpower can still change some situations and increase food production.

Regarding water conservancy facilities, the simplest ones are to build reservoirs to store water and clear channels to ensure there is water for irrigation during droughts.

However, Qiao Ge felt that he had to talk to Manmohan about this matter at some point. After all, it would not be easy to handle this kind of thing without the permission of the government.

Of course, Qiao Ge has never thought about engaging in water conservancy construction across the country. He has neither the ability nor the funds.

However, within the scope of the land acquired by oneself, water conservancy facilities must be improved.

Moreover, if a reservoir is built, in addition to ensuring water for agricultural irrigation, it can also be used to generate electricity.

Agriculture is a long-term industry.

Although the initial investment in improving water conservancy facilities is large, it is imperative for future considerations.

The ones I face like the Aiyar family are very powerful and cannot be defeated in one fell swoop.

Then there will be price wars in the future. As long as we reduce costs and increase production, we will be invincible.

Jogo also thought about one thing, that is, Punjab is mainly a gathering place of Sikhs.

The fact that this place can become the granary of India has a lot to do with the Sikh people.

While other ethnic groups believe in various religions and worship great gods, the Sikhs attach great importance to agriculture. The entire nation is united and hard-working, so they can produce so much food.

For other ethnic groups, most of their thoughts are on worshiping gods, so how can they think about production?

The Sharma family has a very good relationship with the wealthy Sikh families, and both parties have marriages.

Then Qiao Ge thought he could find an opportunity to ask Yas to get in touch and see if he could meet with the wealthy Sikh family.

This does not mean going to Punjab to buy land, but it means working with them and becoming their acquirer.

Of course, Jogo knows that this is not easy, because the largest acquirer in Punjab is the Aiyar family, which means grabbing food from the tiger's mouth.

But Qiao Ge will definitely not give up. No matter whether he succeeds or not, he must try.

Once successful, it would be possible to break one of the Aiyar family's legs and bite off a large piece of fat from his body.

As for chemical fertilizers and pesticides, Qiaogo has actually already done research on it.

Because he needs it for vegetables.

Therefore, the investment in research in this area is not small. When the time comes, we will have to build our own fertilizer plants and pesticide plants, which can naturally be used in the grain industry.

After thinking about it, Qiao Ge found that focusing on the rice fields was a bit too single-minded, and he also had to pay attention to wheat.

In fact, the Aiyar family occupies a large share not only in the rice market, but also in the wheat and corn market. It is all combined that makes them the leader in the grain industry.

In short, other grain varieties must also exert their own efforts.

After thinking about it, he arrived at Maduli's residence. When Qiao Ge opened the door, he discovered that there was a woman in the living room.

Is Xili Daiyu also there?

The two women obviously didn't expect Qiao Ge to come over, and they hurriedly tidied up their messy clothes.

"Sister is here too." Qiao Ge noticed that the two women looked unnatural, especially Xili Daiyu, so he was the first to speak.

"Brother Qiao Ge, thank you very much this time." Xili Daiyu quickly recovered and thanked her.

"I promised you, I can't break my promise, right?" Qiao Ge said with a smile.

Xili Daiyu talked with Qiao Ge for a while and then went back to her room, leaving it to Qiao Ge and Maduli.

Xili Daiyu has been living here these days. After all, there are still many rooms here.

"Shall we take a rest too?" Qiao Ge smiled at Maduli.

Maduli gave Qiaogo a hammer and granted his wish.

…

After a storm, Maduri whispered beside Qiaogo: "You don't know, my sister was so moved just now."

"Really?" Qiaogo asked, "How touched are you?"

"I can't wait to commit myself to you."

"Nonsense."

"Yeah, don't you want to?" Maduli asked.

"That's my god-sister." Qiaogo replied seriously.

Maduli looked at Qiao Ge suspiciously, but she didn't find anything strange.

"Am I overthinking it?" Maduli couldn't help but start to doubt herself.

Qiao Ge couldn't help but think of Xili Daiyu's face, and he had to say that Maduli's words touched his heart.

What a man says is completely different from what he thinks.

…

"Second Young Master, that kid Qiao Ge is indeed planning to invest abroad." Yinjid came over with a big news newspaper and said.

"Really? Last time we got the news that he ran away to Malaya, he was indeed planning to invest. What are he planning to invest in?" Anil asked.

He is now very concerned about Qiao Ge's movements, mainly to grasp Qiao Ge's investment direction in a timely manner.

As long as he can grasp Qiao Ge's trends, he can even seize the industry that Qiao Ge plans to invest in first.

Think about the industries Qiao Ge invests in, which have subverted tradition, and their ability to make money is so extraordinary.

With his own strength, he can definitely be one step ahead of Qiao Ge.

Even overseas, as long as the project is suitable, I can definitely keep up with it.

"It's not Malay, it's probably Indonesia." Inkid handed the big news newspaper to Anil.

Anil took it and looked at it, a little surprised.

"It turns out to be Indonesia. I probably visited Malaysia first." Anil said with a smile.

After all, the two countries are next to each other, so it’s not surprising that we visited them together by the way, and we will choose a suitable one when the time comes.

"What do you think about the timber, furniture and paper industries?" Anil asked.

Qiaogo recruits managers from these industries, so it is easy to deduce Qiaogo's next investment trends.

"After I saw the recruitment in the newspaper, I roughly checked some relevant information in Indonesia. My time was limited, so I only found some. Judging from the current situation, these industries are quite prosperous in Indonesia. After all, the forests there are There are rich resources." Yinjid said, "No matter how much information you want to find in China, it will be very limited, so you can only go to Indonesia to learn more. Second Young Master, do you think you should send someone to investigate?"

As Anil's trusted confidant, he is absolutely reliable in handling matters.

Anil couldn't help but think about it.

The industry that Qiao Ge wants to enter must be profitable.

Just going abroad made Anil feel a little weak.

In the country, with the reputation of Reliance Group, it is unfavorable.

But overseas, this reputation is not so easy to use.

Government relations alone are not that simple to straighten out.

At home, the local governments are all looking for themselves, but outside, it is not that simple.

"Do you want to ask people who invest in Indonesia?" Inkid said, "Someone from the Mittal family invests in Indonesia."

"Which Mittal?"

"The one who works in steel." Inkid replied.

"Oh, they only have the assets of a few small and broken steel plants in China and they dare to invest overseas." Anil said lightly.

In fact, the Mittal family has been operating in the steel industry for several generations. It is certainly incomparable to large private companies like Tata Steel. Even among private steel companies, it can only be considered to be somewhat large, at most medium-sized. It is indeed limited.

Compared with a behemoth like Reliance Group, the Mittal family is naturally nothing, and Anil certainly does not like it.

After all, the Mittal family has not yet exerted its strength at this time.

And even if it breaks out later, it will be Rakshair Mittal's success overseas. In India, his two younger brothers are usually responsible for the domestic industry, and the achievements are far behind.

At present, people in the country know very little about Rakhir's situation in Indonesia.

Just like Inkid, he knew that the Mittal family had invested in building a factory in Indonesia and sent his eldest son to manage it, but he didn't know much else.
