Reborn as the richest man in India

"If it's $1 million, I can still get it together." Qiao Ge thought for a moment.

"Boss, it's not that urgent. The construction of the factory will take half a year at the fastest, so the 1 million US dollars will not be used all at once. The remaining funds are now for the construction of the sidewalk in the forest and other labor expenses. It lasts for several months,” Clark said.

"Then it's no problem. When I go back, I will transfer you $500,000 first." Qiao Ge said with a smile.

The money has to be transferred from Malay.

Domestic foreign exchange transfers have basically stopped in Qogo.

Benlin Company's palm oil is still exported, and there is a sum of funds in the account these days. There is no problem in transferring US$500,000.

As for the remaining US$500,000, it can still be collected in half a year by selling oil in Malay.

Moreover, my wig company exports, and the foreign exchange is intercepted through Panda Company. Even Manmohan can't say much.

So this million-dollar gap is nothing to Qiaogo.

Even if Malay can’t raise funds, it’s no problem.

If it really affects the investment here, Qiao Ge will definitely use some means to transfer one million US dollars from the country.

Is the government really targeting itself just for this million dollars?

Of course, now that I have other solutions, there is no need to provoke the government.

After all, the current government is having a hard time and is short of money.

If he passes on the clues, maybe the government will come and give him a blow.

Think about supervised accounts, they can really do this kind of thing.

After all, even the Reliance Group and the Wallis family have been cheated, and my background is much worse than theirs, so it is better to be honest for the time being.

"Have you encountered any trouble in other areas?" Qiaogo asked, "For example, the government?"

"Boss, the government is still very enthusiastic. After all, we are foreign investors, so they welcome us." Clark said with a smile.

Qiao Ge smiled inwardly. Clark's British face probably accounted for a large part of the reason why the other party was so enthusiastic.

These days, foreigners have a market in many countries. There is no way, this is the reality.

"By the way, the heads of some local companies have sent people to contact us." Clark added.

"Oh? What companies are they?" Qiao Ge asked.

"The paper industry and the wood processing industry are basically these two industries, and of course there are some other local companies," Clark said.

Qiao Ge realized that he now claims to invest in these two industries.

"These are competitors." Qiao Ge sighed.

"No." Clark said with a smile, "Boss, the market is still very big, and these are basically exported. There is still a huge demand for these products outside. As long as there are products and the quality meets the standards, there is no need to worry about selling them. . For example, that Sinar Mas Group."

"Singapore Group?" Qiao Ge was stunned for a moment. This seemed a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Seeing that his boss didn't understand much, Clark explained.

After listening, Qiao Ge came to his senses. It turned out to be a Chinese company. No wonder he felt a little familiar just now.

Through Clark's introduction, Qiaogo remembered more things about Sinar Mas Group.

Huang Yicong, the founder of Sinar Mas Group, later became the richest Chinese man in Indonesia and was known as the ‘Edible Oil King’ and ‘Paper Industry King’.

Of course, that's pretty much what Qiaogo knows. He knows that Sinar Mas Group's main businesses are the paper and palm oil industries.

In its previous life, the paper industry was almost the number one in the world, and the palm oil industry was larger than Li Shenjing's IOI Group.

In the previous life, Sinar Mas Group owned more than 500,000 hectares of oil palm plantations, making it the largest among private companies.

Li Shenjing's IOI Group's oil palm planting area in its previous life was probably more than 200,000 hectares.

Those with a larger planting area than Sinar Mas Group are some state-owned companies, such as the Malaysian Sime Darby Group, which has an oil palm plantation area of ​​800,000 hectares. Including land reserves, it may be nearly 1 million hectares.

However, these are owned by the government, which accounts for the majority, so they are not considered private companies.

Sinar Mas Group is now a behemoth in Indonesia.

Qiao Ge didn't expect that they would all come to contact him.

"We only invested US$10 million, why did Sinar Mas Group take a fancy to us?" Qiao Ge asked curiously.

This investment should be nothing in the eyes of Sinar Mas Group, right?

"Boss, the other party is well-informed. I believe they must know about your situation in Malay." Clark smiled, "So it's not surprising that they come here."

Qiao Ge thought about it. For a company as big as the other party, it must have a deep relationship with the government. He could get an idea of ​​his side with just a few questions.

Considering the scale of the palm industry in Malaysia, it was not surprising that the other party came to contact me.

Because the industries here really overlap with those of the other party, so they are considered peers.

Although the investment is only 10 million US dollars now, more will definitely be added in the future. Naturally, we cannot really treat ourselves as a small company.

"They said at the time, boss, if you come to Indonesia, I hope I can notify them, do you think?" Clark asked.

"Okay, of course I want to meet you." Qiao Ge said with a smile.

It never hurts to get to know some of the local big shots.

Especially the Chinese bosses.

After all, in Southeast Asia, wealthy Chinese almost control the economy here.

Especially among these wealthy Chinese, many of them are involved in the palm oil industry, and the scale is not small.

Now that Qiaogo has entered the palm oil market, it is important for him to grow bigger, but he also needs to have a good relationship with his peers.

To put it bluntly, it’s just a group thing.

Only in this way can we better control palm oil pricing and have a say.

Although colleagues are enemies, this is also a matter of circumstance.

The palm oil market is developing too fast, and the demand is huge, so everyone will have meat to eat, and naturally there will be no need to engage in infighting.

Even if there is internal fighting, it will only happen after the market is saturated in the future.

There are still decades to go before that time, so there is no need to rush.

Besides, my main market in the future will be India, and the competition with them will be smaller.

"Boss, Sinar Mas Group has been in trouble recently," Clark said.

"trouble?"

"Yes, they have some conflicts with the Sanlin Group." Clark introduced the matter to Qiao Ge in detail.

After hearing this, Qiao Ge was dumbfounded. He was another Chinese. The boss of Salin Group was Lin Shaoliang, now the richest man in Indonesia.

The thing is like this. Sinar Mas Group and Salim Group previously jointly established a edible oil factory called Bimoli Oil Factory. Later, Bimoli brand cooking oil became very popular and created a lot of profits for the two groups.

Where there are interests, there will be disputes. Conflicts and differences have arisen between the two groups in terms of company operation and management.

In the oil plant, Salim Group holds 55% of the shares and Sinar Mas Group holds 45%.

Sinar Mas Group suffered a loss in terms of shares, and the strength of Salim Group now far exceeds that of Sinar Mas Group. In other aspects, such as the government, Lin Shaoliang's connections far exceed Huang Yicong.

Therefore, Sinar Mas Group is completely at a disadvantage.

"This? Jinguang Group doesn't want to join forces with us, right?" Qiao Ge asked, "No, no, we don't have any foundation here, so why should we fight against Sanlin Company?"

"I think they want to find another way, such as cooperating with us in other aspects." Clark said with a smile, "The battle between them and Sanlin Company is their own business."

"If we want to cooperate, I think as long as the conditions are right, we have no reason to refuse." Qiao Ge laughed and said, "Let's wait until their people come."

Qiao Ge thought about it. It was impossible for him to participate in their fight.

If we can have some cooperation with Sinar Mas Group, I believe it will be possible.

After all, the other party is a powerful local snake. I believe many things will be much easier.

Of course, this all depends on the situation, such as what kind of conditions Sinar Mas Group will impose, whether they are harsh, etc.

The next day, Qiaogo went to see the tropical rainforest under his own name under the leadership of Clark.

Wearing rain boots, various armors, raincoats, etc.

The road was muddy and difficult to walk on. Originally there was no road here, but Clark had ordered people to start building a road here.

Qiao Ge saw logs as thick as buckets lying on the road, half of them stuck in the mud.

The shortest logs are more than ten meters long, and the long logs can be twenty or thirty meters long.

"Too extravagant, too wasteful." Seeing this scene, Qiao Ge couldn't help but whisper.

"Boss, these are small trees, and the tree species are also very common. They are suitable for use as cushions, otherwise it will be impossible to walk on this road." Clark said.

Qiao Ge was speechless for a while. These tree trunks were at least 40 centimeters thick. In the previous life, they were quite big trees.

But he also knew that Clark was right, this was really a small tree for a few people hugging a big tree in the tropical rain forest.

He was now at the edge of the forest. Looking towards the forest, he could already feel the height of the trees over there.

Jogo moved forward on a bulldozer, and his bodyguards were armed with shotguns.

There is no way, there are wild beasts here.

Clark told Qiao Ge that he had really seen a tiger when he first came here.

Later, shots were fired to scare him away.

In addition to tigers, there are other wild animals that can also endanger human safety.

The roads here have not yet been sorted out, making it difficult for trucks and the like to enter. Nine times out of ten, they will get stuck in the mud and cannot drive.

At present, some engineering vehicles are working, such as bulldozers and excavators. These are crawler-type and are more suitable for such harsh terrain environments.

Of course, even these crawler-type engineering vehicles must pass through these roads paved with logs, otherwise they will get stuck in the mud.

The soil is so soft that it can almost be said to be a muddy swamp.

Therefore, there is a lot of preliminary work. If there is no large investment in building access roads, leveling the land, not to mention transporting the trees out, it is impossible to even go in and cut down the trees.
