Reborn as the richest man in India

"Of course, with your current success and reputation overseas, I believe no one will raise such concerns, and they may not necessarily think of this." Manmohan smiled again, "I don't think you will be so either. do it?"

"Of course, I am Indian." Jogo smiled.

This is Qiao Ge’s truth.

Many rich people in India may try their best to transfer their assets and immigrate overseas to developed countries such as Europe and the United States.

But Qiao Ge didn't think so.

He wants to base himself on India.

When you go abroad, you are like a rootless person. If you are targeted by some powerful foreign forces, what will you do to fight them?

Especially as a migrant, it is too easy for people to kill you on their territory.

Therefore, it is impossible for Qiaogo to immigrate.

On the Indian side, his current influence is already great, and not many people can threaten him.

Next, he will continue to increase his influence. Who is willing to abandon the support of a country?

Now India is poor and has limited influence in the world.

In the previous life, India could not compare with China.

But it doesn't mean that India is weak. After all, its size is here.

One thing needs to be made clear. India's strength is lower than that of the Wuchang, and that is also the ceiling.

Let's take military strength as an example. Everyone may laugh at India's military equipment. The weapons and equipment they produce can be held in exhibitions.

But looking around the world, being able to buy so much equipment is also a sign of strength, and it takes countless money to accumulate it.

Other countries also want to do this, but unfortunately they don’t have the money.

An individual cannot be compared with a country. In the future, I will have the entire country of India as my backing.

At that time, even if developed countries in Europe and the United States attack themselves, they will have to consider India's response.

In this way, at least not a single bone of his overseas investment will be left behind.

If any conflict does occur, it can be negotiated in the name of the country, but the nature is completely different.

"But one thing I am still worried about." Manmohan pondered for a moment and said, "That is, those foreign banks may not recognize the State Bank of India. After all, our country is running out of foreign exchange."

Manmohan is still aware of India's current international status.

Although we are close to and have good relations with countries in Europe and the United States, those countries still don't take our own country seriously.

"No, I believe that our country will definitely become stronger and stronger. Even European and American countries dare not underestimate it. Currently, there is a shortage of foreign exchange. I believe that we will be able to overcome the difficulties and there will be more and more foreign exchange in the future." Qiao Ge He said, "And as long as the government has this attitude, whether banks in other countries recognize this guarantee is something to be considered in the future."

Now that India's international influence is weak, coupled with the shortage of foreign exchange, it is indeed unlikely that some foreign banks will recognize this guarantee.

But this plan is not short-term for Qiaogo, but long-term.

After India's reforms, the economy has continued to develop greatly. The foreign exchange held by a country is huge, so there is no problem in providing a guarantee.

In this way, there will be no problem with funds for overseas investment in the future.

"Okay, Jogo. These days, some rich people who have made money are thinking of escaping from India. You are just the opposite. You are really lucky for the country to think so." Manmohan sighed, "Don't worry, this I will definitely do my best to help persuade the Prime Minister."

I lamented that Qiao Ge, a young man, is truly patriotic. There are really not many such people left.

Of course, he also knows that those rich people who want to escape from the country are all guys who make dirty money, and the money in their hands comes from improper sources.

But Jogo is completely different.

Manmohan thought about himself. He wanted power, but he also wanted the country to become rich and powerful. This was not a contradiction.

"Are there any other conditions?" Manmohan asked.

"No more." Qiao Ge said with a smile, "I believe Mr. Singer will take care of me if anything good happens in the future, right?"

"You can rest assured, let's go, let's go see the Prime Minister." Manmohan laughed.

He was in a very good mood.

To be honest, he was still thinking about what harsh conditions Qiaogo would put forward, and he was afraid that he might not be able to make the decision.

What Qiaogo is proposing now actually does not cause any loss to the government, it is just a guarantee.

Of course, it is wrong to say that there is no loss. That is, if Chogo defaults on a loan abroad, the National Bank will have to fulfill its responsibility to repay foreign debts.

But Manmohan didn't think Qiaogo would do this.

Therefore, Qiaogo's condition is really nothing to the government.

Of course, Jogo knew Narasimha, but their relationship at that time was very ordinary.

But this time it was different. As Prime Minister, Narasimha seemed more cordial.

Because he learned from Manmohan that Qiaogo had a lot of foreign currency deposits overseas, which was urgently needed for the government.

Narasimha was surprised when Manmohan raised Qiaogo's conditions.

"Do you think there is any problem?" Manmohan was shocked. Could it be that Rao did not agree with this condition?

He didn't think there was anything wrong with this condition, and Rao probably wouldn't object.

"No, don't get me wrong. I'm a little surprised because the Tata family also talked to me last night, and the content was similar to the conditions you proposed, which is to ask the government to provide foreign exchange support when they invest overseas in the future. For you, The country is also willing to support patriots who have made great contributions to the country. Qiaogo, I accept your conditions. I will sign an agreement with you in the name of the national government later." Narasinghe said, "It's just that I don't It’s such a coincidence that you and the Tata family have the same ideas, Qiaogo. Have you discussed it with them?”

"Ah? That's such a coincidence. I really didn't discuss it with them." Qiao Ge said hurriedly.

His heart sank, thinking that the Tata family had indeed expanded overseas in its previous life, and had made many large-scale acquisitions.

Perhaps the most well-known brand in China is the Land Rover Jaguar brand that acquired Ford Motor Company.

In fact, the Tata Group had already started acquiring international brands before acquiring the Land Rover and Jaguar brands.

It started around 2000.

Among the acquisitions were tea companies, steel companies, etc.

In short, the Tata Group in its previous life had a lot of overseas assets, and its annual overseas revenue accounted for more than half of the group.

Later, Reliance Group overtook the Tata Group and became India's largest private company. However, overseas, it was still far behind the Tata Group.

If we really talk about overseas achievements, only Lakshmi's steel empire in the previous life can overwhelm the Tata Group.

Of course, most of the later Adani Group still had domestic assets.

When something breaks out in a short period of time, it is often due to collusion between politics and business. This cannot be tolerated abroad and can only be achieved by channeling various interests domestically.

In terms of international influence, Reliance Group and Adani Group are definitely not as good as Tata Group.

Qiao Ge couldn't help but sigh. It turned out that the Tata Group had been prepared for a long time. These business families with profound foundations really had unique vision.

They were later able to carry out acquisitions and mergers on a large scale abroad, which would have been impossible without the strong support of the Indian government.

At least during the acquisition, the government provided foreign exchange support or guarantees.

Otherwise, where would the Tata Group get so many dollars?

Narasimha smiled.

He actually knew some of the grievances between Jogo and the Tata family, and knew that the relationship between them was not very good.

So this matter was indeed not discussed in advance, it was really a coincidence.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, are the Tatas also prepared to lend US dollars to the government?" Jogo asked.

As soon as these words came out, Narasimha's laughter stopped suddenly, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Manmohan couldn't help but hurriedly smooth things over: "The Tata family has given the government some support in other aspects."

He was not aware of the fact that the Tatas had also proposed foreign exchange support.

But he still knew it very well.

If the Tatas put forward this condition, it would definitely be impossible for them to lend dollars to the government like Jogo did.

One is that the Tata family's relationship network is so strong that even the Congress party needs their support.

The second is that he knows very well that even the Tatas cannot have that many dollars.

But not everyone can have huge foreign exchange reserves like Qiaogo.

He was trying to ease the atmosphere so as not to embarrass Rao, and also to give Qiaogo a hint.

Qiao Ge smiled and did not continue to ask. He could understand the meaning of Manmohan's words after just a moment's thought.

"Qiao Ge, tell me, how many dollars can you lend?" Manmohan winked at Qiao Ge as he spoke.

"This time the country is in a foreign exchange crisis. Manmohan told me that you have hundreds of millions of dollars in hand, so can you support the country?" Narasimha's expression returned to normal and he spoke up.

"I can borrow US$500 million here." Qiaogo said.

Hearing this amount, Narasimha's face lit up and said: "Qiaogo, is this true? Is it really 500 million US dollars?"

"Yes, if the government needs it." Qiaogo said.

I told Manmohan before that it would be up to 800 million U.S. dollars. At that time, Qiao Ge even made plans to borrow 800 million U.S. dollars.

But now, Qiaogo has reduced this amount.

Because the Tata family has also received such benefits.

I paid US dollars here, which is real money.

The Tata family probably paid nothing.

As for what Manmohan said about providing some support to the government in other areas, it was purely a matter of smoothing things over.

The main reason is that the Tatas used their influence to make some deals with Narasimha.

Speaking of which, the influence here cannot be compared with that of the Tata family.

Look at others, they have received foreign exchange support from the country with such influence.

And you need to pay the price of borrowing money to get these benefits.

It is precisely because of this that Qiaogo will reduce the amount of lending. If the benefits are not exclusive to himself, then it is not worth lending him US$800 million.

500 million U.S. dollars is almost enough, which is already a huge favor for Narasimha. (End of chapter)
