Chapter 11

Bosh was also very happy. He immediately called the city hall and reported the situation here.

After the administrator Tedli Faga heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He immediately started preparing to report the matter, and spread the news through the radio as soon as possible, so as to calm down the increasingly violent strike workers. one time.

At the same time, he planned to invite Hu Lin and his party to a banquet in the evening. Of course, Qiao Ge was also invited.

A dinner was held at the official residence of the Mumbai City Government that night, with a very high standard.

Most of the attendees were senior officials from the Maharashtra and Mumbai governments, and even the chief minister of Maharashtra attended in person. After all, Mumbai is the capital of Maharashtra.

Singh and Yadra were able to attend because of Jogo.

During the dinner, Lindi Das, the head of the State Bank of India branch in the northern central area of ​​Mumbai, patted Singh on the shoulder enthusiastically. This time, he was only able to participate in the dinner because of Singh's favor, otherwise he would not have the qualifications to come .

As for Jogo's loan of 50 rupees, he approved it before he came here, and the money will be credited into Jogo's account tomorrow at the latest, which is amazing.

India’s work efficiency is low, it must be low. Some things can be done in one day, but it is normal to delay it for a few days, ten days and half a month.

But if it is fast, like this loan, it is very fast, so fast that it is difficult for you to react.

Jogo was honored to have a few words with the administrator Fajia, and was encouraged by Fajia. Even the chief minister praised Qiaogo a few words, which made the people around him envious.

Especially when Qiao Ge was young, he was still a high school student.

But when they knew that Qiao Ge was the son of old Gupta, they lamented that he gave birth to a good son, and they turned over immediately.

Of course, the main reason is that they are a little jealous. If they are more courageous, wouldn't the Chinese start doing business with them?
I didn't expect to be preempted by Qiao Ge.

Ten thousand bales of cotton is not too much, but it is not too little.

Bosh privately gave Qiao Ge the names of several people, saying that they had thousands of bales of cotton in their hands, and hoped that Qiao Ge could buy them.

Jogo immediately understood in his heart that these people were close to Bosh, and even close to the administrator, but the administrator would not come forward directly, and Bosh would handle it all. They wanted to share in the ten thousand bales of cotton. accounted for part of.

After all, not to mention the backlog of cotton now, as the new cotton in the southern production area goes on the market, the price of their cotton in stock will get lower and lower. It is natural for them to sell it as soon as possible.

Qiao Ge did not refuse, anyway, it is an acquisition, who is not an acquisition?

After all, Bosh helped him a lot, so he was regarded as one of his own people, and of course his own people were given priority, so of course he had to give him some face.

However, he made an agreement with Bosh to buy it at the market price. Bosh had no objection to this, and he made it clear with Jogo that he didn't need to pay a deposit, and he didn't need special treatment, so feel free to do it.

Qiao Ge has already inquired, and in the past three days, the purchase price of cotton has dropped by 130 dollars from 10 dollars per pack to 120 dollars per pack.

This trend is still going on, and many people are pessimistic that it will fall to $100 per pack, and may even fall below $100.

For Qiao Ge, the lower the purchase price, the better, because he and Zhao Rui agreed on a price of US$170 per pack.

In fact, the change in cotton prices this time is only a fluctuation in India.

Qiao Ge felt that the Suez Canal was unlikely to be blocked for too long. After all, he had no memory of this in his previous life. If something major happened due to the ship blockage in this era, he would probably be able to know something about the well-developed network in the future.

Therefore, the capacity has been slightly affected, but India has been more affected.

This means that the canal may be opened at any time, so Jogo wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible.

In addition, Bosh also brought him good news. He had asked people to contact more than a dozen temples in the city center, and made an agreement with them that as long as Qiao Ge paid a [-]% deposit, he could have his hair removed first.

This news made Qiao Ge very happy. Although there is no exact amount, according to the information provided by Bosh, each temple has about two to three tons of hair, which means that there are two to three million tons of hair here.

With his current 80 rupees in hand, even if he pays 3% of the deposit, there is no problem.

The main reason is that Jogo can't be sure that those temples will cooperate with him and sell their hair to him. Now that Bosh has come forward, this has happened.

Double happiness.

After the purchase of temples in the city center is completed, he still has to go to the suburbs to purchase them. In fact, he can still do a lot of things in seven days.

After the banquet was over, Jogo returned home, and Gal and Jajam happened to come to visit his parents. He couldn't help thinking of something, and asked them how many younger brothers they had.

At the same time, he asked Aunt Seth to go home first, and called Uncle Seth and Luke to come over, because he had work for them.

This made Aunt Seth very happy.

After all, my husband, son, and son-in-law Luke didn't have much work recently. Of course, it's good to have work here, so they left in a hurry.

"Twenty or so people?" Qiao Ge couldn't help thinking for a while after hearing the two people's answers. There were a little few people.

"Master, are you teaching someone? If you think there are not enough people, we will find a way to borrow some from other bosses." Seeing that Qiao Ge was silent, Jajam couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Hearing his words, Qiao Ge couldn't help being speechless for a while. He is not a social person, so he doesn't think about those things.

"Don't get me wrong, I want you to do something for me." Jogo said with a smile, "There will be a reward."

"How can I ask for your money, young master?" Gal immediately shook his head, "If you have anything to do, just ask."

Jogo knew that the two were the kind of people who would reciprocate their kindness, such as the five workshops that protected his father before.

They have been out in the society these years, but their lives are not very good. Old Gupta often helps the two of them.

"It's a business." Jogo said his thoughts.

He wanted Garr and Jajam to organize a hand to buy hair in the Dharavi slums.

Dharavi is only 2 square kilometers in area, but there are more than 60 people living in it.

It probably doesn’t make any sense to say that. In my previous life, Shenzhen was the most densely populated city in China, with about 9000 people per square kilometer, while Dharavi had 30 people per square kilometer, more than 30 times. This shows the degree of congestion here.

Even if there are 20 women in Qiao Ge, if there are 5 women who are willing to sell their hair, and the hair of 10 people counts as one kilogram, then it will be 5000 kilograms, 5 tons.

Dharavi is not the only slum in Mumbai. These slums are densely populated and poverty is added. If hair can be exchanged for a few rupees, Jogo thinks he can buy a lot.

The only problem is the shortage of staff.

After listening to Jogo's words, Jajam smiled and said, "Master, are you afraid that no one will be there if you have a salary?"

When Qiao Ge heard this, he secretly thought that he was confused, yes, he was only thinking about their little brother just now, if he paid the wages himself, he could let them recruit some people to work.

"What do you think is a suitable daily wage for a person, 10 rupees?" Jogo asked.

"Why do you need so much?" Gal said immediately, "There are plenty of people rushing to make 5 rupees a day."

Qiao Ge quickly figured it out. Although ordinary people in India earn about 400 rupees a month on average, the slums don't even reach half of it, and many of them are even below 100 rupees. After all, they don't have work every day.

People in the slums starve to death every day, miserable.

Before, old Gupta gave 200 rupees a month to the employees in the workshop, which didn’t seem like much, but in fact it was quite a lot, because he calculated it on a monthly basis, even if he didn’t live this month, he still gave 200 rupees.

For the people in the slums, it is difficult to have a stable job.

If you do part-time jobs, you may only be able to work for half a month, or even less.

"The issue of wages, I think it's up to you to decide. After all, you know it well." Jogo laughed, "As for your wages?"

"We don't need it," Gal said hastily.

"Of course, I won't give you wages." Jogo laughed, "But you can get a commission."

The two were confused, what commission?
