Reborn as the richest man in India

Luo Boda's work efficiency is very fast, which is very inconsistent with the past style of Indian government departments.

Probably because Qiao Ge's investment is large enough, he can also get huge benefits, so he will naturally be active in doing things.

Three days later, a team of people, various geological experts, planning experts, and exploration experts were convened to study and discuss a suitable location for building the factory.

As a local expert, he was very familiar with the surrounding area. He immediately suggested several suitable locations for building the factory, and listed their advantages and disadvantages.

The cost of corresponding supporting facilities, mainly roads, has also been estimated.

These data were sent to Qiao Ge and others.

After discussion, we tentatively selected three of them as sites, and then we will go to the site for an on-site inspection.

The official source of the Ganges in India is called the Bagirati River, which originates from the Gund Glacier at the southern foot of the Himalayas.

In fact, the real source should be in a place called Gomko, more than 20 kilometers southeast of Gent.

Due to Gende's special status, there are many sacred mountains near Gengodri Glacier, such as Mount Shiva, which are sacred pilgrimage sites for Hindus.

Therefore, officials considered the influence of religion and regarded the Gangotri Glacier as the source of the Ganges.

Now we have selected three places, one is at the Gangodri Glacier, the second is at the real source of the Gomko Ganges, and the third is at the foot of a glacier near the Gangodri Glacier.

After five days of inspection, Qiao Ge found that the third place to build the factory should be the most suitable. The terrain here is low, the water volume is the most abundant, and the investment in road construction is the least.

But this location is a bit awkward, a bit far away from Gangodri.

Next is the second real source of the Gomko Ganges. The water volume here is much smaller than the third one, and the investment in roads and other supporting facilities is not too large.

The first site requires the most construction difficulty and investment. The terrain here is difficult and it is not easy to build a factory. Moreover, if you build a road, the distance will be more than twice that of the previous two sites so that it can be connected to the government's main road.

In addition, the construction is too difficult, and the cost per kilometer is at least twice as much as the previous two. Counting the length, that is at least 4 times the investment.

According to the government's budget, the investment in supporting roads in the first two places is about 5 million each, but Qiao Ge doesn't believe this figure. The government must have underestimated it, because it is too high for fear that he will have objections until he actually invests it. , the discovery was too late.

So Qiao Ge’s estimate is around 7 million.

In order to estimate his own construction costs, Qiaogo specifically asked Hebicha and others for help a few days ago and found some professional estimators in New Delhi.

The level of these people is much higher than that of the people recruited by Luo Boda.

Also, the people Luo Boda hired had tampered with the data and deliberately concealed it, making the cost look much lower.

After these people checked, the costs of building factories in each of the three locations were estimated.

The first investment is about 200 million, including 30 million for supporting roads.

The second and third places are similar, both around 150 million.

However, according to Qiao Ge’s expected annual production volume, the water volume in the first and second sites may not be enough.

This is a bit embarrassing.

The amount of water in the third place is completely sufficient and too rich, but the biggest problem is that it is a little far away from Gangodri and is not the source of the holy river in the hearts of Hindus. This deviates from the original intention of producing mineral water.

For Luo Boda and others, the bigger the investment in Qiaogo, the better.

But Qiao Ge has to consider input and output.

It is impossible to give up the root of Godli in the first place. This is the foundation. Without this, the soul will be missing.

Insufficient water, that should be solvable, right?

For this reason, Qiao Ge consulted many experts to see if it was possible to divert water from the upper reaches of the glacier, such as diverting some tributaries to flow here.

In the end, they were all rejected. One was that the construction was very difficult, and the second was that it was too close to the Holy Mountain. The temple did not allow Qiao Ge to move too much.

Allowing him to build a factory at the foot of the mountain is already the biggest concession. If Qiao Ge moves too much and expands the scope, he will be pushing the envelope.

This made Jogo scratch his head a little.

It's okay to reject it directly from the beginning and stop thinking about it.

Now you can build it for yourself, but if the water source is not enough and the production is not enough, how will the sales increase?

Just when Qiaogo was extremely confused, Hamid's words made an idea flash in his mind.

"The holy water here at the source is not enough. Can we use water from other places to replenish it?" These were Hamid's original words.

His original intention was to use water from other places as the source water.

But Qiao Ge can't do this, and he definitely can't do such a thing that tarnishes his reputation.

Once the reputation is bad, it will be completely ruined.

After all, my water has to face the high-end market. Are these rich and powerful people so easy to fool?

If exposed, the consequences would be serious.

The garbage money incident in Gauhaga had just passed not long ago, and Qiao Ge did not want to follow in its footsteps.

So Qiaogo changed Hamid's words.

He decided to build a water plant at both the first and third sites.

The first place has less water, so a smaller water plant will be built according to the water volume to produce the most authentic and high-end mineral water from the source of the Ganges.

The second place has a large amount of water, so a large water plant will be built. Although the brand of the Ganges source is still used, the grade will be lower and the price will be cheaper.

In other words, Qiaogo classified the mineral water from the water plant from the beginning, so there was no deception.

The two grades of water need to be differentiated in terms of packaging, material and design of water bottles.

For example, for high-end mineral water, the bottle must be made of glass or crystal glass, and efforts must be made in the shape to reflect the status of a tall and upper-class elite.

The mineral water in the first place is very expensive and must be provided to the high-end elites. Some middle-class people can also consume it occasionally.

Secondly, most of the middle class should be able to afford it, and some ordinary people can also consume it occasionally.

Due to the large amount of water, the second water plant Qiaogo not only produces bottled mineral water, but also produces barreled mineral water with a larger capacity, which can increase production.

High-end products have less output and higher prices.

The smaller one has a larger output, which can guarantee the price and increase the volume at the same time.

The two can complement each other perfectly.

At the same time, Jogo did not forget the original second site, which was Gomko, the real source of the Ganges.

Qiao Ge spent 10 million to buy the land suitable for building a factory. He and Luo Boda said that it would be used as a backup water source for future factory expansion.

Of course Luo Boda and Ban Bo have no problem with it. They are eager for Qiao Ge to invest more.

Qiao Ge had his own ideas in doing this.

He may never build a factory here, but this real source must be held in his own hands.

Although he had the official source, he still had to be prepared just in case.

Who knows if someone will be jealous of me in the future and cause all kinds of trouble for me.

This real source might be brought out to make an argument.

Then hold this source in your hands now, and you won't be so passive when the time comes.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be terrible if it was bought by someone else?

Now the government will sign an exclusive agreement with itself, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future.

The chief executive and minister have been replaced for who knows how many times. When the time comes to make profits, it is not uncommon for local governments to break contracts.

This is still a common thing in India, so you must have a plan in advance.

Of course, the root cause lies in whether you are strong. As long as you are strong enough, who dares to do anything to you?

The team recalculated according to the construction budget of the two factories and finally found that the cost was about 200 million, including production machines and equipment.

The factory on the Gangotri Glacier side was more expensive to build, and a lot of money was saved after downsizing.

Therefore, the cost of building both sides together is about the same.

Qiao Ge has already thought about it. The one on the Gangodri Glacier is the Gupta Ganges Ice Spring Main Factory, and the other one is the branch factory.

Gangheyuan Ice Spring is the mineral water brand of the future.

Originally, Qiao Ge still had about 300 million in hand, but now, only 100 million is left, which is considered his working capital.

The donation to the temple, the benefits from the monks in the temple, the government and others, as well as the land purchase money from the real source, totaled less than 20 million. For Qiaogo, the money was well spent.

It is impossible for the water plant to spend 200 million at once. He hopes to get everything done within half a year, so within this six months, he can usually guarantee 100 to 200 million in liquidity.

Qiao Ge thought for a while and realized that he had to make money quickly, otherwise if he continued to spend like this, his funds would be cut off.

Now among the industries I have acquired, some have just got on the right track and have not yet started to make money, while others have just been acquired, are in good order, and are preparing to start normal operations.

Therefore, Qiao Ge does not have many profit points now.

However, the companies under my name are all running well. For example, the freight company has begun to make profits, but the profits are not at the same level as what I spend on them, and can almost be ignored.

Of course, Qiao Ge is not afraid that his capital chain will be cut off.

After three months, Ivanov's goods will make him a lot of money.

The TV series "Ramayana" should make him popular in half a year, and clothing should become a cash cow for him by then.

If we can catch up, organic agriculture and mineral water will be on the market at about the same time as clothing. Even if we can't catch up, we can postpone it for a few months.

Anyway, it takes a while for TV series to be broadcast. This kind of popularity will continue and the effect will get better and better.

Moreover, Qiao Ge has plans to shoot a second TV series. The popularity of the mythological drama can be maintained for a long time, which can consolidate his economic foundation.

In fact, even the remaining 100 million is almost enough to support my next expenses.

Because he won't have any big investments for the time being, he has to take time to digest the crazy investment during this period.

Wait until digestion is complete before setting off.

For Qiao Ge, other industries can also make money one after another. Even if the profit is not much at the beginning, it will gradually add up over time and cover many other costs.

Qiao Ge is still very confident about this.
