Reborn as the richest man in India

In terms of transportation, Jogo began negotiations with the country's railway department on transportation issues connecting the port to the railway.

With Qiao Ge's current influence and the promotion of Manmohan and others, this matter will of course be implemented smoothly.

In fact, we had already negotiated with the railway department for the transportation of mineral water, and the two parties had a happy cooperation.

Yes, there are many more routes involved this time, covering almost all parts of the country.

That is, Qiaogo spent his own money to build branch lines from major ports to the nearest railway station. The government will allocate trains to Qiaogo to ensure smooth transportation of his goods.

In the previous life, the railways in India were definitely backward, but they are still OK in this period.

Regardless of the quality, the coverage of this railway network is still acceptable.

The reason why it lagged behind in the past life is that the railway has basically not changed or been updated, and it has remained the same for decades.

Decades have passed and it has become even older.

For example, China has updated it countless times.

This gap has been widened.

For land transportation, trains are definitely the most economical. It is impossible for Qiaogo not to use the country's railway network.

As for the construction or upgrading of the country's railway network, that is a matter for the country. Just like the power grid, it is impossible for Qiao Ge to participate.

At most, it is only partial construction, mainly to ensure the construction and operation of its own factories, and the overflow will give the government an advantage.

However, this is also to enhance one's voice in the government.

After all, these are infrastructures that are related to people's livelihood. No government can avoid these things.

Once these big problems arise, it can easily become an excuse for the opposition to attack.

These are of similar importance to necessities such as food, and can affect social stability.

Investment in transportation is mainly to cooperate with its own port cargo transportation.

Internal goods are transported to the port for export, and various imported materials are transported to all parts of the country through the railway network.

So rail connectivity is critical.

Qiao Ge naturally attaches great importance to the port. Now he is looking for a suitable location for port construction. Once he decides on it, he will first acquire a large piece of land nearby.

It doesn't matter if you can't build it, just put these aside and take your time.

After all, if you occupy one good place, you will lose one.

You must know that many domestic forces are also eyeing the port industry, such as the Tata Group and Reliance Group.

This person is strong, and good things must be good things.

But there are many worries.

That is, everyone is staring at you, and if you do something, the whole world will soon know it.

Port investment, such a big news, cannot be hidden even if you want.

Many people are staring at Qiao Ge and want to invest behind him.

After all, judging from past experience, Qiao Ge's investments basically have high returns, and he can make a lot of money even from drinking soup.

Due to the large amount of investment funds in the port industry, many people would like to join the industry, but unfortunately they do not have the financial resources.

These do not include Tata Group and Reliance Group. He has sufficient financial support, so he also entered this industry.

This is Qiaogo's main competitor.

However, the port does not just need to be built, it must also include operations, and various supporting facilities must be added.

If there are not enough ships to dock and not enough goods to be imported and exported, won’t the port lose money?

So these have to be taken into account.

Qiao Ge knew these things well.

He also knew that he could not really monopolize all domestic ports.

Although I have captured the Mumbai Port, the domestic coastline is very long and there are still many ports.

All I can say is that I want to take the lion’s share, the absolute majority.

Of course, Qiao Ge had no doubts about this.

After all, Mumbai Port is in its own hands, which means that it can account for at least half of the domestic import and export goods.

Mumbai, the economic and financial center of India, is not just for talk. Its status is here, and the port is of course an important reason.

If iron ore is important to China in the future, then coal mines are equally deadly to India.

Even in the previous life, India's power supply was in a mess. Not to mention the poor rural areas without electricity, power outages in cities were also the norm.

In addition to the failure caused by the aging of the power grid, the main reason is actually the problem of power generation and insufficient power.

Here, thermal power generation occupies an absolute dominant position.

Power plants require a large amount of coal. As mentioned before, domestic coal reserves are large, but the amount of production each year is very limited. Basically, it relies on manual labor, which is very inefficient. Coupled with transportation problems, it leads to domestic of coal is not enough.

This requires large quantities of coal to be imported overseas.

Once coal prices fluctuate, such as price increases, major power plants will be unable to purchase coal, and power generation will naturally decrease.

Qiao Ge definitely doesn't want the property under his name to suffer from these problems. He can't rely on others, he has to rely on himself.

In a highly efficient country like China, just do your own main business well, and there is basically no problem in cooperating with other companies in other aspects.

But here, every link is unreliable, and it will be very troublesome if we don’t develop our own full supply chain.

Upstream, midstream and downstream industries must all be laid out and have their own companies so that they can coordinate and coordinate.

Qiao Ge does not expect to achieve the level of efficiency that China has, but as long as he works hard, he believes that he can still rank high among developing countries in the world, so that his products will be competitive.

Domestic companies basically rely on various relationships to operate, or rely on the protection of national policies to survive.

After defeating them, Qiao Ge no longer has much sense of accomplishment. He still has to go out and ensure the quality of his products.

Petrochemical plant, Chogo began construction of a new plant.

For example, at Mundra Port, Qiaogo has begun to build a new factory, which will be much larger than the current one.

Mundra Port is very close to the Middle East, which can effectively reduce freight costs. Oil from the Middle East can be unloaded there quickly, and then processed into various types of diesel, gasoline, etc. at refineries, and then transported by rail. Sold online across the country.

The petrochemical industry is definitely an industry that Qiao Ge focuses on. After all, this was the core industry of the Reliance Group in his previous life.

I can't let him become big in this industry, especially if the other party joins forces with the Tata Group.

Now that I have the resource advantage of Damao, I believe it will be no problem if I want to suppress the Reliance Group.

And this advantage will become greater and greater with subsequent development.

After all, no matter what product, under the same conditions, low cost means it is competitive.

If you earn more here, Reliance Group will earn less.

Qiaogo believes that with his own intervention, Reliance Group would not be able to achieve the amazing achievements of its previous life.

It can be said that Qogo launched targeted counterattacks and suppression against both Tata Group and Reliance Group.

One is competition in the truck field, and the other is competition in the petrochemical industry. In these two industries, Qiao Ge will never show mercy.

As for the steel industry of Tata Steel and the Mittal family, Djogo's attack was not so fierce.

Of course, this is at home.

The construction of steel plants in China is not fast at Qiaogo, and they are not even active in acquisitions and mergers.

Regarding expansion, Jogo is obviously not that concerned.

Why is this?

Qiao Ge has his own ideas. There will be development in the country in the next few years, but this development is hugely different from that of China.

Especially in terms of infrastructure construction, the investment here is not of the same magnitude at all.

There is insufficient investment in infrastructure, which means that the future demand for steel in India will not be that large.

The current steel plant is actually sufficient.

Therefore, Qiao Ge feels that the domestic steel industry is almost enough. When he masters iron ore and overseas coal imports, it will be easy to kill the domestic steel industry.

To put it bluntly, I will use my cost advantage to defeat Tata Steel, and then I will have a good chance of taking over Tata Steel directly.

My main focus in the steel industry is abroad and Lakshmi.

This is a wizard in the steel industry, so we must keep a close eye on him.

The current steel market is still dominated by overseas markets, such as Asian island countries, Europe and the United States, and other countries. They are the major producers and consumers of steel during this period.

Although China is developing rapidly, it is not yet big enough at this time, so let the bullets fly for a while longer.

So Jogo will target Lakshmi’s overseas investments.

Lakshmi has been very troubled recently because his investment in Indonesia has not gone well.

Whether it is acquiring a steel plant or an iron ore mine, it will be subject to various competitions to raise prices, which is obviously malicious.

After a little research, he found out that his main opponent was Qiao Ge.

For any project he participates in, Qiao Ge’s mad dogs will come over and raise the price.

Lakshmi's current plan is to first stabilize the fundamentals of Indonesia, expand his steel company here, and then expand abroad.

Therefore, he is very determined to acquire these steel plants.

Therefore, he was not afraid at all in the competition for the acquisition of various steel plants. Even if the price premium was high, he still gritted his teeth and won.

It can be said that he won the acquisition of steel plants in Indonesia.

For example, out of ten steel plants, it can be said that eight of them have fallen into his hands. Only one may be taken over by Qiaogo, and the other one belongs to someone else.

He was able to succeed in acquiring steel plants because he gave up acquiring iron ore mines.

Previously, he was thinking of attacking on two fronts, whether it was a steel plant or an iron ore mine, and purchasing both together would ensure his supply of iron ore.

If there is still funds left, he even wants to get involved in the acquisition of coal mines. It is of course best if he can control these raw materials himself.

I dare not say that it can fully meet the consumption of its own steel plant. Even if it can meet part of the demand, it will be very helpful for cost control of the steel plant.

But after Qiao Ge intervened at the steel plant, his acquisition costs increased rapidly, exceeding his psychological expectations.

So he could only give up everything else and focus on keeping one industry.

He chose to acquire steel plants first, which was his old business. (End of chapter)
