Reborn as the richest man in India

On February 9, the ruble loan from Dark Horse Investment Bank was paid off.

The assets of Dark Horse Investment Bank were actually resold earlier, and now they have settled their worries.

It's safe to drop the bag.

Although the five people felt regretful, they were still happy to have made money.

Lawrence and Jogo talked about Goldman Sachs.

Qiao Ge revealed to Lawrence and Rohatin that Goldman Sachs had brought together three major families to join forces against him.

In this regard, everyone thinks that Rubin's group is a little angry.

This time it was mainly White Horse Investment Bank that won a lot of assets.

You know, Rubin and the others must have been eyeing these high-quality assets for a long time, but it is a pity that Qiaogo and the others took action first.

Rubin and the others didn't want to retaliate against Rohatin and Lawrence, so they set their sights on Qiaogo.

There is no way, who said that Qiao Ge is an Indian? If he doesn't bully you, who will he bully?

Regarding this matter, Rohatin reassured Qiaogo.

He is on Qiao Ge's side, and will give Rubin some warnings and will not let them mess around.

However, Rohatin also clearly told Qiaogo that he could not completely stop Rubin and the others from making small moves against Qiaogo.

For example, giving Lakshmi and others various support, funds, connections, connections, etc.

By lending Lakshmi their hand to suppress Jogo and so on.

Qiao Ge is already very satisfied with these.

As long as it's normal support, he doesn't have to worry.

Previously, he was worried that forces like Goldman Sachs would use some special means.

With his current strength, he really can't compete with such a big force abroad.

If you cannot solve these problems, you may not be able to implement your overseas strategy immediately, and you will miss countless good opportunities.

Fortunately, Rohatin has now entered an important government position, otherwise Qiao Ge felt that Rohatin's words would not be so useful.

It would be terrible if we were attacked by a big power like Goldman Sachs.

Qiao Ge felt at ease now. Not only did Rohatin come forward to warn the other side, but he could also get financial support from Lazard Investment Bank and HSBC.

Therefore, in terms of funds, I am not inferior to Lakshmi.

To be honest, his own funds are nearly 2 billion US dollars, which is higher than Lakshmi.

In terms of personal connections, the support of Rohatyn and Lawrence is not a bad match.

Qiao Ge felt that it was impossible for Goldman Sachs to fully support Lakshmi and the others.

He, Rohatin and Lawrence have interests entangled, and their relationship is not ordinary.

In short, now I don't have to worry about the suppression of those big forces and conglomerates. I just need to compete with Lakshmi and the others normally.

The matter of Goldman Sachs was not the focus of the discussion between Qiaogo and Lawrence. The focus was on some foreign investments that Qiaogo was preparing for next.

Qiao Ge knew very well that he was investing in various minerals and other commodities, as well as mines and so on.

These are not just investments.

You must have a good relationship with the local government.

As an Indian myself, this identity is obviously not enough now.

So he had to bring people in, and Lawrence and the others had very good identities.

"Invest in iron ore or coal mines?" Lawrence was a little surprised after hearing what Qiaogo said. "Qiaogo, the funds for these investments are huge. Besides, we already have many energy and mining-related companies here in Russia. "

He knew there were steel companies in Chogo, both in India and abroad.

White Horse Investment Bank has iron ore, coal mining and other companies under its name, and its output is not low.

With this output, a steel plant of that size in Qiaogo simply cannot consume it.

"Not enough." Qiaogo said, "It's not enough here alone. I need more international market share. Mr. Lawrence, since I basically monopolized the domestic grain and oil market in India, this feeling is really wonderful. So in In other industries, I also aim to occupy a large share. Even if I cannot monopolize, I must at least ensure that my share is at the forefront of the industry."

"Haha~~" Lawrence laughed, "Of course it's fun to have a monopoly."

This is the goal pursued by major companies. Unfortunately, it is too difficult to achieve such a goal.

It might still be possible in a small place, within a small area.

It is basically impossible to do it internationally.

Even if there were, it would only be possible for a few companies to join forces to achieve a monopoly, and it is really unlikely that one company will dominate.

Of course he is very clear about Qiaogo's situation in India now.

The lifeline of India's food now is indeed in the hands of Qiaogo.

The reason why he values ​​Qiao Ge so much is not just because he made money in Dark Horse Investment Bank this time.

He values ​​Jogo's influence more in India.

Although India is still very poor, its population is still there, and I believe that its international influence will become greater and greater in the future.

Then of course there is no harm in being friendly with such a person.

As a senior investor, Lawrence certainly has a keen eye and is able to take a long-term view of problems.

Of course, when it comes to influence in terms of size, Lawrence feels that the ancient country in the east has more potential.

"So, Mr. Lawrence, are you interested in joining?" Qiao Ge asked with a smile.

"Are you planning to bring a lot of people in?" Lawrence asked, staring at Qiao Ge.

He quickly understood what Qiaogo meant.

It is indeed impossible to do this kind of thing alone. You must bring together various people, make use of the personal connections and relationships that everyone has, and make good use of all available resources to achieve international investment.

"I mentioned it to Mr. Rohatin last time, and he was not opposed to it," said Jogo.

"Then what else is there to say? Count me in." Lawrence smiled, "I believe Arnaud and Thomas will also be interested."

"I also mean this. We are all friends, and we are stronger together." Qiao Ge said.

"You must have a plan, right?"

"Currently, my main target is iron ore. If there is a chance, I will buy coal mines. If there is no chance, I can let them go first." Qiao Ge said.

"Iron ore?" Lawrence pondered for a moment and said, "The steel industry is currently in a slump and the future is unclear. If we make a mistake, acquiring a large number of iron ore companies now may be a negative asset."

"Mr. Lawrence, if the future is clear and everyone sees it, what opportunities will there be to make money?" Qiao Ge asked.

Lawrence was stunned for a moment by these words. He didn't expect that he would be lectured by this young man, Qiao Ge, who had been in the business world for most of his life.

"This is the principle. You have to be forward-looking. Intervening in advance when others don't see the opportunity can indeed maximize the benefits." Lawrence quickly reacted, "But this kind of thing is very risky."

"So Mr. Lawrence, what do you think of the prospects of the steel industry? For example, when will it recover, or will it continue to sink like this?" Qiao Ge asked again.

Lawrence thought for a while and said: "I think the recovery of the steel industry should be no problem, but I can't say when. Now those experts generally believe that this will be a long winter, ten or several decades." All are possible.”

"I think it will recover faster, and the steel industry will be extremely prosperous in the future." Qiaogo said.

"What's the basis?" Lawrence asked.

He really valued some of Qiaogo's opinions.

He also communicated with Yuri some time ago, because he knew that Yuri admired Qiaogo very much.

According to Yuri, Qiaogo is known as the messenger of the gods in India, and it is said that he is a person who can receive prompts from the gods.

Lawrence certainly didn't believe this.

However, he has studied Qiao Ge's experience of getting rich, and he has to say that every choice Qiao Ge makes is amazing. Whether it is planning in advance or something else, he succeeds in the end.

So this time when Qiao Ge was preparing to invest in iron ore, coal mining and other industries, he also wanted to hear some of Qiao Ge's analysis.

"The basis is that the economy is recovering." Qiao Ge said with a smile, "The economy is slowly recovering now. I think as the global economy picks up, the demand for various steel products will be higher, right?"

"Your reason is too general. The economy has recovered a bit, but if you say that the steel industry can also explode, and even reach the prosperity you call it, the difference is not one or two points." Lawrence said, "Tell me, what other reasons are there? , stop hiding it."

"What do you think of China?" Qiao Ge asked.

Lawrence looked at Qiao Ge in surprise.

Why do you say that the steel industry suddenly involves that mysterious and ancient country in the East?

"Over there, they seem to have been engaged in reform and opening up for more than ten years, and the results are good." Lawrence said.

"I am very optimistic about China." Qiao Ge said solemnly, "It will be an engine of the world economy in the future."

"Is that an exaggeration?" Lawrence smiled.

He still disagreed with Qiao Ge's words.

He is more optimistic about China and thinks they will be better than India.

But if you want to become the engine of the world economy, it’s not China’s turn, right?

In the past few years, the island country could be regarded as an engine, but it has declined in recent years.

Even so, the island country is also the largest economy in Asia, and it will never be China's turn.

"It's not an exaggeration." Qiao Ge said seriously, "Even if it can't be an engine, think about the size of the country over there, its population, etc. These are destined to require a lot of infrastructure, bridges and houses. Which one doesn't need steel? Once If there is any development, their demand for steel will be terrifying. It will definitely have an impact on the international steel industry."

Lawrence took a deep look at Qiao Ge and had to think carefully.

"It makes sense." After thinking for a while, Lawrence nodded.

It has to be said that he thinks Qiaogo's words make sense.

The economy there is developing, but it is still very backward. It does need huge infrastructure, and steel is just needed.

"So you are planning to invest in the iron ore industry first, is there anything clear about it?" Lawrence asked again.

"Brazil and Australia," said Jogo, "their iron ore is rich and of high quality."

Lawrence smiled and said: "Yes, I think so too. If you want to invest, it is mainly these two countries. However, there are already many iron ore companies in these two countries, and many large mines are located in several large The company’s name is already in our name, so it’s a bit difficult for us to get involved. It doesn’t seem cost-effective to acquire a small company, right?”

"I think we can contact those big companies to see if they are willing to sell. We can make some concessions in terms of price. Even if we don't sell the whole company, we can take a stake. Of course, we must hold a controlling stake." Qiao Ge said.

"Are you really determined to get into this business?" Lawrence said.

If the acquirer gives away profits, it means acquiring at a high price.

Generally speaking, I’m not very optimistic about it, and I definitely won’t do it.
