Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter 352 Tata Family

…

"The Tata family, I really look forward to meeting Ratan Tata!" Guo Shouyun thought thoughtfully. {щww{suimеng][lā}

Strictly speaking, his attitude towards wealth and family inheritance is similar to that of the Tata family. As the largest consortium in India, the Tata family controls 66% of the voting rights of the Tata Group through more than a dozen "sincere funds", that is, charitable funds, which avoids the division of family wealth and ensures the inheritance of the family.

In the past 100 years, although they have never been on the Forbes rich list like the successors of the Indian giants such as the Ambani family, the Bola family, the Birla family, and the Mittal family, they have won the envy of everyone, but they have made Tata Group. It has always been sitting in the position of India's largest consortium.

Such means and effects are exactly what Guo Shouyun wants and intends to follow.

"Do I need to make an invitation to Ratan Tata now?" Rebecca asked.

"Not for now. I'll talk about it when I have a better understanding of Indian society!"

Any negotiation, the most taboo is information asymmetry. If you negotiate and cooperate deeply without a deep understanding of India's electricity market and operating mechanisms, you will definitely suffer.

After a few simple chats, Guo Shouyun's eyes turned to the outside again. Compared with the dark night of yesterday, now the sky is bright, and the city of Mumbai can be seen more clearly.

Sure enough, as Rebecca said, the traffic here is not orderly at all. All kinds of vehicles are mixed together, except for the horn, the mirror does not play any role at all. Of course, the speed is no different from the turtle crawling.

In such a state, the distance between the Taj Mahal Hotel and the Anping India headquarters was no more than 6 kilometers, and it took more than an hour to walk.

"Is all traffic like this in India?"

Rebecca nodded, "This is a super city with a population of 20 million, including nearly 7 million poor people. In the absence of good traffic order, congestion is the norm here."

"Maybe I should take a helicopter when I go out in the future!" Guo Shouyun complained.

"This is the preferred mode of transportation for most of India's richest people, and it's one of the reasons why they choose to build high-rise residential buildings instead of the manor-style villas that are common in the United States."

Guo Shouyun nodded, looking at the tall buildings that were clearly different from commercial buildings and had unique shapes outside the window. After a while, "I still prefer manor villas to this steel jungle. By the way, is there such a place in Mumbai?"

"Yes! There are many similar villas in the wealthy area of ​​southern Mumbai. The boss wants?"

"Help me keep an eye on it! The staff at the hotel is too complicated, and I don't want to be stuck on the road for an hour every time I go out!"

"clear!"

"Boss, we're here!" Matthew said.

"Well, let's get off!"

I simply looked at the business building in front of me, the ordinary business building on the 22nd and 3rd floors, with square, white exterior walls, plus windows with no sense of design, floor-to-ceiling windows or anything else does not exist. Seeing it, Guo Shouyun thought of those old buildings in China in the 1980s. No modern design. So, after just looking at it, I walked inside under the leadership of Rebecca.

"The company bought a floor here, about 1500 square meters. The staff is divided into two parts, the headquarters has 257 people, and the Dabor power plant has 1288 people! It is investing in the new Dabor steel plant and rolling mill, because we only hold There are shares, and they are not involved in management, so the personnel are not counted." Rebecca said as she walked.

"Has it always been like this?"

"When An Ran was still there, the place was almost empty. It wasn't until we bought it that it returned to its current level."

While the two were talking, the elevator door opened. Guo Shouyun nodded slightly when he looked at the Enron Pacific company logo facing the door, and the well-dressed and smiling front desk. It can be seen that Rebecca has worked **** the Dabor project.

"Is Shahrukh here?"

Looking at the serious and capable Rebecca, the two young Indian girls looked nervous. They obviously knew Rebecca.

"Yes, I will contact you immediately!"

"No need. You do your own work, and I will find him myself."

Rebecca waved her hand, and her tone showed a domineering arrogance that could not be rejected.

Guo Shouyun, who was standing beside him, watched her performance with an interesting look on his face. To be honest, although it is not the first time to see Rebecca's shrewd and capable work style when dealing with subordinates, it still brings him a different kind of freshness every time. Because usually, it is really difficult to see women have such a strong style.

"Boss, this way!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "Rebecca, it seems that people here are a little afraid of you!"

"I was also forced. Indians are very emotional and can make good advertising ideas and publicity strategies. But they seriously lack respect for time and efficiency. But time and efficiency are often the foundation of a business's success. So, for them To be able to get to work on time and get things done, I had to be tough."

Guo Shouyun understood. Rebecca's words reminded him of the descriptions of Indian behavior and personality that he had read on the Internet.

From a management point of view, everything has controllable and uncontrollable aspects. For example, the market, pricing, publicity strategy, packaging, etc. are uncontrollable in China, Japan and Western countries, because no one can accurately predict the market, pricing, publicity strategy and packaging will vary with the audience, wear and tear, The market is constantly changing.

But in contrast, factors such as production cycle, time-consuming, and employees are all controllable. These can be decided by the management of the enterprise.

But in India, it's all the other way around. The cycle, time-consuming, and employees have become uncontrollable. The market and publicity strategies have become controllable factors. So, when foreign companies come to India, you will find that everything is different from what you know.

Worker absenteeism and delays in construction schedules have become commonplace.

And under the dominance of this kind of thinking, the whole Indian society has become very strange. The most typical example is the Mumbai government. Mayor is just an honorary title with little real power at all. The real municipal power is in the hands of various committees, such as the Mumbai Electricity Commission, the Water Commission, the Education Commission and so on.

The uncontrollability of politics has resulted in low administrative efficiency, rampant violence, and all kinds of wonderful things.

In addition, because of 'freedom' of speech, on political TV programs in India, you find that cricket or Bollywood star gossip is discussed throughout. Don't think it's unbelievable, because everything is 'uncontrollable'!

Passing through the office area, almost all the employees here are looking at them curiously. Of course, I was curious about him, and mostly feared for Rebecca.

"Dong dong...!"

After passing through the office area, she knocked on the inner door.

Soon, with the slight friction, a fair-skinned young woman wearing a black lady's professional dress opened the door, and it seemed that she belonged to the role of an assistant.

"Ms Mark!"

The woman looked nervous.

"Is Shahrukh in there?"

"exist!"

Rebecca nodded, took a half step back, and gave Guo Shouyun the road.

"Boss, please!"

Although he doesn't care about these rhetoric, it does feel good to be respected. After nodding slightly, Guo Shouyun was not polite.

The general manager's office and the assistant's office outside are separated by a layer of tempered glass. Because of the curtains and the angle, the people inside did not notice the movement outside.

But as the tempered glass door was pushed open by Rebecca, Shahrukh Singh, the head of Anping's Indian market, appeared in front of Guo Shouyun.

"Ms. Mark...!"

Just as Shahrukh Singh was about to stand up to say hello, his eyes were quickly drawn to Guo Shouyun who walked in from behind.

Since Enron Pacific implemented the regional reform, Mumbai, India has become the headquarters of South Asia and the Middle East. As the president of the region, Shahrukh Singh is also one of the top executives of Enron Pacific. He naturally met Guo Shouyun at the company's meeting.

"boss!?"

"What? Are you surprised to see me?" Guo Shouyun smiled.

"No, why didn't you notify me when you came to India. I can also organize a welcome at that time!"

Shahrukh Singh is a typical Indian elite. After graduating from the Indian Institute of Management, he studied at Harvard. After receiving a doctorate, he joined Dalizhi Company. After three years of work, he joined Pacific Power and Gas Company, where he worked for eight years. Before Guo Shouyun acquired Pacific Power and Gas Company, he was the company's senior vice president in charge of natural gas business.

Later, with the expansion of the company, especially after the acquisition of Enron, the head office valued his Indian background and excellent work experience, and promoted him to the position of president of South Asia and the Middle East.

"It's okay to greet him. If you have this time, it's better to manage the company well!" Guo Shouyun waved his hand.

Beckoned~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The three sat down on the sofa in the reception area next to them.

"Shahrukh, you know the purpose of my coming to India, so tell me, how is the Dabor project now?" Guo Shouyun said directly.

"The first phase of the Dabor Steel Plant in cooperation with Tata Steel Group is 4 million tons, and it is still two years away from completion..."

"Two years?" Guo Shouyun frowned. This is also too slow.

"Boss, you know this is India. Although the construction is our own, the workers are still Indians. The three-year construction period is already very fast."

"Okay! Does this mean that the Dabor power plant will lose another two years?"

“Theoretically it is. But we are negotiating with the Gujarat State Electricity Commission and there are some good developments.”

"Oh?"

"They agreed to buy our power for .5 rupees, but they want a 10% rebate! Also, they want us to participate in the investment in the Shahabad hydropower plant."
