Rebirth of England.

Chapter 924 Distinguished Guest

"Welcome back, Master."

When Barron arrived in Mumbai with Jenny and checked into Barron's villa, he saw Jenny's strange look when she heard Neha Dalvi address him...

"Uh, Neha, from now on you can just call me Your Highness the Duke or Boss..."

"Yes, Master."

"..."

Neha Dalvi is the "most beautiful female student in Indian universities" and the "most beautiful model" whom Barron had "favored" once before he came to India...

At this time, Neha Dalvi had graduated from college and was arranged to live in Barron's villa and became his housekeeper.

Compared to when I first met her, she still looked a little immature. Now Neha is wearing pink traditional Indian clothing, revealing her slender waist. She looks more mature and charming.

In addition, it can be clearly heard that Neha's English pronunciation is now much more fluent than before, and there is almost no "curry flavor". It seems that she has also put in a lot of effort in this regard.

"You take a rest first. Mukesh will hold a welcome party for us in the evening. If you don't want to attend, I will come back early."

After all, Jenny is pregnant now and doesn't really like such formal occasions.

But tomorrow her brother, Earl Bute, will come to Bombay to meet them.

Argent Real Estate Group has a lot of business here, and before that, Earl Bute was in Australia "handling business" - as far as Barron knows, in fact, this earl who likes to "face up to the challenge" has just changed a new personal assistant and is a little reluctant to leave...

After learning that Barron and his sister have come to Bombay together, Earl Bute will arrive in Bombay tomorrow to meet them.

Reliance Industries is Barron's main partner in India, and the cooperation between the two sides covers a number of businesses including petrochemicals, telecommunications, finance and automobiles.

As the largest private enterprise in India, Reliance Industries is naturally not satisfied with just dominating in India. It can be said that the cooperation between the two parties is mutually beneficial. The cooperation with Reliance Industries enables Barron's capital to enter the Indian market; while Barron can obtain overseas channels for Reliance Industries.

More importantly, Barron knows how many pitfalls there are in investing in India, and that one can suffer huge losses if one is not careful. However, as the world's second most populous country, India's market is very attractive to any capital.

Therefore, by cooperating with Reliance Industries, one of the most powerful local capitals in India, Barron can also ensure the relative security of his investment.

Reliance Industries is collaborating with Barron’s for similar purposes.

Barron's strength is unquestionable, and he is also a British duke. Even though Britain has long ended its rule in India, it still retains a certain influence in this land.

You know, in a country like India, if a private enterprise wants to grow to the scale of the Reliance Group, it will inevitably be involved in collusion between officials and businessmen.

Take the development of Reliance Industries, the Reliance Industries Group founded by Mukesh Ambani’s father Dhirubhai Ambani in 1957, as an example.

Dhirubhai was a poor boy from India. At the age of 17, he followed his brother across the ocean to work at a Shell gas station in Yemen.

One day, Dirubai discovered that a kind of silver coin in Yemen was worth more than his own currency, so he exchanged and purchased a large amount of it, melted it, refined it into silver bars and sold it, earning his first pot of gold in his life.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. His business was discovered by the Yemeni government three months later and he had to stop it.

In 1957, Dhirubhai returned to India and founded Reliance Industries, engaging in the export trade of spices and textiles.

Later, he entered the business world.

In the early 80s, Dhirubhai met Indira Gandhi, India's first female prime minister, known as the "Iron Lady of India" (no relation to "Mahatma" Gandhi, Indira Gandhi is the daughter of India's first prime minister Nehru).

With the help of this "Iron Lady", Dhirubhai's business expanded rapidly like a balloon in just a few years, soaring into the sky and becoming the largest private entrepreneur in India.

However, after Indira Gandhi stepped down, Reliance Industries was "liquidated" by the government and was once in trouble and almost bankrupt. If it had not coincided with the stock market crash in the United States, the Indian government would have had to rescue the economy in order to protect the domestic economy. As the most important component stock in the Indian stock market, Reliance Industries would have been on the rescue list and would have escaped. Then, if it had escaped the disaster, there would be no richest man in India today.

It is also because of his family's past experiences that Mukesh Ambani will use the cooperation with Barron, the Duke of England, as a kind of "protection" for the Reliance Industries Group he owns - that is, a kind of "using foreign powers to gain power" to avoid future mistakes in his "political investment" and to protect his own industry.

"Your Highness, it is a great honor for you to come to today's welcome banquet..."

Today is a welcome banquet hosted by Mukesh for his most distinguished guest, the Duke of Devonshire. On the one hand, it is to express his respect for Barron, and on the other hand, it is to show his close relationship to the Indian upper class who are attending the banquet today.

"Prime Minister Singh is visiting a foreign country and will return tomorrow. His secretary has specifically informed us that he hopes to have a meeting with you..."

"I will stay here for a few days and look forward to meeting Mr. Singh."

Before this, Barron had met with Indian Prime Minister Singh. This time, the other party specifically stated that he wanted to see him, so there must be something to discuss.

As Barun was chatting with Mukesh, he couldn't help wondering what this was all about.

From Mukesh's words, it was revealed that Singh had gone to Japan after his visit to China...

So…it’s about DMIC (Mumbai-Delhi Industrial Corridor)?

Those who were able to attend this banquet were naturally members of India's upper class society. When Mukesh was away, many people came over and chatted with Barron.

To be honest, Barron knew the nature of Indians and would not believe all the projects proposed by some of them. Well, being able to listen to those blueprints at a 10% discount was already enough respect...

So after Barron dealt with it casually at first, he simply asked Neha, who came with him, to accompany him to the balcony to get some fresh air...

"That is……?"

Following Barron's line of sight, Neha Dalvi saw Mukesh talking to another middle-aged man in the garden downstairs. Because they were too far away, she could not hear what they were talking about, but from their actions and expressions, it seemed that the conversation was not very harmonious.

"That seems to be Mr. Anil..."

Neha opened her eyes wide, looked carefully, and said affirmatively:

“Yes, it is Mr. Anil Ambani, he is Mr. Mukesh’s brother.”
