Reborn as the richest man in India

Three days later Felix Rohatyn arrived.

Originally, Felix Rohatyn didn't want to come.

But when Arnaud said that Lawrence, Thomas and Qiaogo had gathered here in London, he changed his mind and decided to come and have a look.

He knew the backgrounds of Lawrence and Thomas, and he had to say that their status was not low.

But to him, he didn't care too much.

But when Arnault mentioned Jogo Gupta, it made him a little curious.

The name Jogo Gupta was quite impressive to him. When Arnault took over the LVMH Group, Jogo's shares were very crucial.

It was precisely with the support of Giorgio that Arnault was able to win over the LVMH Group so easily.

At that time, Qiao Ge took advantage of the plummeting stock market to acquire a large number of stocks. I have to say that he seized the opportunity very well.

Over the years, he had learned about some of Qiaogo's actions and knew that he had invested in many industries overseas.

Especially the oil fields in the United Arab Emirates. It has to be said that with this Middle East war, this guy made a lot of money from his investment, and the oil field assets rose sharply.

And he already knew that Qiaogo originally planned to invest in the oil fields in Kuwait, but was preempted by Reliance Group and chose the United Arab Emirates.

This was a blessing in disguise, he lamented Qiao Ge's luck.

Of course, he would not be interested in Qiaogo just because Qiaogo had some luck.

He knew that Qiao Ge was young, only in his early 20s, and he had such huge assets overseas. Even outstanding young people from developed countries in Europe and the United States were not so powerful.

What's more, being an Indian is simply unbelievable.

Of course, he also knows what Jogo has achieved in India.

A person from a lower caste who starts from almost nothing is a miracle.

Now Qiogo has become one of the three giants in India, on par with the Tata Group and Reliance Group. In just a few years, he has reached the top. It is impossible not to be curious.

So Felix Rohatin came here mainly because he wanted to see Jogo.

After all, Qiao Ge has indeed made money from his investments over the years, and they have all been successful.

So this is a big business opportunity, and since Qiao Ge is here, maybe I can get some of his luck?

Of course, this is just a little joke in Felix Rohatin's mind.

Whether this business opportunity is reliable or not, he will make his own judgment at the time.

Moreover, he is very confident in his own vision. He does not need to rely on other people's luck to make money. He relies on his own strength.

If we invest in another business and rely on luck, wouldn’t we be courting death?

After the two sides communicated for a while, Felix Rohatin learned about Lawrence's goal.

The target is Da Mao, of course he knows this.

Da Mao has recently become everyone’s most popular investment target, and it is also a hunting ground.

With his position in the financial world, he certainly knew some of those guys' moves.

Of course, he also knew that those guys were hiding some important plans from him.

In other words, those guys didn't take him with them.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be.

But over the years, Felix Rohatin has been suppressed and ignored.

Felix Rohatin is a Democratic Party candidate.

But the last three presidents have been Republicans, including two terms of Reagan and now George H.W. Bush.

This resulted in Felix Rohatyn being dormant and his influence weakened a lot.

Although he didn't know some of the real details of this plan, he could still detect something unusual based on his many years of experience.

Obviously, the United States and other Western countries have intervened. Those institutional forces actually represent the country and major financial groups.

Since he was recently suppressed by the government, those people naturally excluded him.

Felix Rohatyn found that his group of people really suffered from the same problem.

Especially Lawrence, he was also excluded from this plan.

"Okay, then we're going to have a big fight." Felix Rohatin said, "We're going to show those bastards who is the king of the financial world."

Of course, Felix Rohatyn was holding his breath about this matter.

Now that Lawrence has such a plan, he has no reason to refuse.

Lawrence and others each represent some forces, and the total is considerable.

Of course, Qiaogo's personal influence abroad is very average, and can be said to be negligible compared to others.

However, Felix Rohatin still recognized Djogo.

One is that Qiao Ge has reliable acquaintances with Damao, which will be very helpful for his future plans.

Without a reliable local person to lead the way, many things would be much more troublesome.

And Yuri's identity deserves everyone's attention. The KGB, such a guy's network of connections is indeed amazing.

Second, in Felix Rohatin's view, Jogo has a greater advantage than them.

That is to be able to get the full support of the Indian government.

Although their international influence exceeds that of Qiaogo, no one can match Qiaogo's influence on their own country.

You must know that Qiaogo is definitely a giant in India, and even the Indian government has to take his ideas into consideration.

And their influence on the country is not that great. Even if their personal influence is great, their country is too powerful, which makes their personal power seem small.

Of course, India's international influence cannot be compared with that of developed countries in Europe and the United States.

If offset in this way, Qiaogo's influence is actually about the same as theirs.

Even Jogo can have a slight advantage.

After all, if something goes wrong, Qiaogo can definitely ask the Indian government to come forward.

Negotiating with Mao in the name of a country would definitely be infinitely more powerful than financial people like them.

This is Qiao Ge's potential influence. Many times, one cannot judge a person's value solely by his appearance.

It is precisely because of this that Felix Rohatin recognized Qiaogo's strength.

In the final analysis, everything depends on strength.

Several people continued to discuss some specific details.

For example, you can also invite additional people to join, the number of people and the funding ratio, etc.

In the end, everyone decided to raise US$1 billion this time.

Felix Rohatin contributed 200 million, Arnault 100 million, Lawrence 100 million, Thomas 100 million, Djogo 200 million, and 300 million for others who joined.

Of course, of the US$300 million, US$100 million will be given to Yuri.

Only 200 million is left to actually be distributed to others.

As for how Yuri's 100 million is divided among those in the country, Qiaogo doesn't care.

Yuri can't fight alone there. He must find some friends to join him, so he has to give them a part of his 100 million.

After learning that Yuri was cooperating with people abroad, his friends had nothing to say and all joined in.

Of course, the friends Yuri is looking for are capable people with various connections, such as connections in government departments or banks and financial departments.

In short, it will be helpful to their plan this time.

Yuri finally told Qiaogo that of the 100 million US dollars, his share was 80%, which was absolutely dominant.

This plan is headed by five people from Qiaogo. They serve as decision-makers, with Yuri as their collaborator.

In fact, Qiu Ge is lending 500 million US dollars to the Indian government, and he still has 700 million US dollars available.

However, investing US$200 million here is enough, and you can still find opportunities for the other US$500 million.

It would be better to go with Felix Rohatin and the others first. This was his plan.

Although he invested US$200 million, personally, he and Felix Rohatin invested the most, but the real leadership of this plan is still in the hands of Felix Rohatin and Lawrence.

Qiaogo had no objection to this.

He needs to keep a low profile and let other European and American institutional forces know that this is led by Felix Rohatyn and others. In other words, these are also European and American forces, so they will not be suppressed.

Besides, if you really have to take responsibility for yourself, a young man like you cannot convince the public.

Other investors probably won't buy into your account, so there's no need for you to cause trouble.

Qiao Ge knew very well that Lawrence and the two of them would have absolutely no problem with the early operations. They were both experts in this field.

In the later stage, you can still operate it yourself.

Everyone quickly established the ‘Dark Horse Investment Company’ in London, and then applied to the Mauritian government to open a foreign bank in this name.

The name was thought up by Felix Rohatin, who wanted to tell those who abandoned him that he would enter the game as a dark horse.

It's just a name, so Qiao Ge and others will naturally not object.

Financial controls in Damao have been completely relaxed, and numerous financial institutions in Europe and the United States have begun to open various foreign banks in Damao.

Therefore, Dark Horse Investment Company’s application was quickly approved.

They opened the Black Horse Bank in Damao, and Felix Rohatin personally served as the president. It was really not subtle at all, and he announced his arrival to his foreign counterparts so nakedly.

Qiao Ge felt funny in his heart.

Felix Rohatin was obviously holding his breath and wanted to compete with those people.

But he was not worried that Felix Rohatyn would be under siege.

It is true that the benefits of Damao are too great to accommodate everyone, and everyone is busy preparing for future acquisitions.

Wouldn’t it be foolish to fight among ourselves at this time?

Black Horse Bank is temporarily in charge of Yuri. Qiaogo here instructs him to open branches in major cities around the world, absorb people's deposits, and provide higher interest rates and better services than the state-owned banks in Damao.

The only purpose is to absorb large amounts of ruble deposits.

These advance preparations naturally allowed Yuri to start first, because Qiaogo and the others did not go over immediately.

Qiao Ge and Felix Rohatin made an agreement to go to Damao together in February 1992.

Laurence, Thomas and Arnaud couldn't get through this time. They couldn't get away.

Therefore, the trip in February is just for Qiaogo and Felix Rohatin. With Felix Rohatin here, everyone feels relieved.

It is now January 1991, and there is still one month left. During this month, Qiaogo and Felix Rohatin return to China to deal with some matters at hand. (End of chapter)
