Reborn as the richest man in India.

Chapter 219 Preemptive Acquisition
Jogo's arrival was warmly welcomed by the Surat government.

Since the old fairy played a decisive role in Jogo's trip to Surat, his status in Surat has been significantly improved.

Of course, the main reason is that Laoxian hinted to his colleagues and superiors intentionally or unintentionally that he had an unusual relationship with Jogo.

Everyone didn't have much doubt, after all, not everyone can invite Jogo.

Don't say please, even seeing Qiao Ge is not easy.

The old fairy can do this step, if there is no certain relationship, it really can't.

Speaking of which, the relationship between Lao Xian and Qiao Ge is indeed good now.

After the old fairy came back, he searched around for a large area of ​​land suitable for planting that Jogo needed, and kept running around almost without stopping.

Therefore, the old fairy can only be responsible for Qiao Ge's investment here, because he is the most prepared and understands Qiao Ge's needs best.

"Mr. Gupta, after a few days of searching, I found that this area may be more suitable for your requirements." The old fairy drew an irregular circle on a map of Surat.

"This piece of land doesn't feel small." Jogo looked at the map and said.

The plots on the map certainly don't look that big, but it's different if you zoom in on the scale.

"It's huge." The old fairy laughed, "No less than a few thousand acres. You see, this is the Dabuti River. Here is the alluvial plain in the lower reaches of the river. The land is fertile and very suitable for agricultural planting."

Since he was going to come to Surat, of course Jogo had done his homework and knew about it.

The Dabuti River, with a total length of more than 700 kilometers, flows into Cambay Bay in Surat.

Jogo thinks that Surat is more suitable as a vegetable supply base in Mumbai. The main reason is that there is this river, so there is no need to worry about the water resources needed for agriculture.

The old fairy painted a large piece of land along the river, close to the water source and easy to irrigate.

"Is the terrain of these places a bit low? Will there be flood disasters?" Jogo asked.

"Indeed, but the place I chose is the best location, basically without too much flood." The old fairy did not hide it, "These lands are large enough, and Mr. Gupta can choose to be farther away from the river." The land, the higher terrain over there, is basically not affected by the flood."

"What about land acquisition?" Jogo asked.

This point is very important. If you say that you are fancy, but the land cannot be acquired by then, is it not a waste of work?

"Some people are indeed planting these lands. Although it is a bit difficult to expropriate, I think they will agree as long as our price is right." The old fairy stared at Qiao Ge and said, "Mr. Gupta, to tell you the truth, these The land with higher terrain was mainly bought by several big local families, so if you really want to come forward to buy it, you only need to negotiate with a few of them, I believe it will be much easier."

"This is a matter for your government, right? I can't let me do the land acquisition myself?" Qiao Ge said.

"Of course, the government will definitely come forward, but I don't know how much land Mr. Gupta needs." The old fairy asked with anticipation.

Although Jogo had always told him that there was a great demand for land, he was still a little unsure about how much it was before he heard Jogo mention it in detail.

"Let's start with a few hundred acres. If there are thousands of acres, I will accept it." Qiao Ge laughed.

Hearing this, the old fairy's eyes brightened: "Mr. Gupta, don't worry, I will report to the administrator, I believe I will not disappoint you."

There are thousands of acres of land here, which can fully meet Jogo's needs.

If Qiao Ge invested hundreds of thousands of acres here, not to mention how many rupees it would be, would it be necessary to recruit a lot of workers?

In short, it can bring huge benefits to the local area.

The old fairy immediately asked the administrator of Surat, Namu Naniwadkar, for instructions. After all, it involved thousands of acres.

The administrator agreed on the spot, and personally told Jogo that there is no need to worry about the land acquisition, and the government will take care of it.

Afterwards, under the leadership of the old fairy, Qiao Ge also went to the field to investigate.

The terrain is really flat, and the land near the river is slightly lower, with puddles appearing from time to time, which can be regarded as swampy land. According to the old fairy, those lands are government lands, not private lands.

Occasionally flooded here, mainly due to the siltation of the Dabuti River, which caused the river bed to rise, and the water overflowed as soon as it was big, but the water was not too large. In recent years, the deepest water that has been flooded here is only a few tens of centimeters .

The land belonging to several major local families is farther away from the river, and Jogo can see that the terrain there is indeed much higher, and the flood is indeed unlikely to affect it.

The above are all farmland, there are greenhouses, etc., and many of them are planted with crops.

These higher lands probably span thousands of acres and are fertile.

Qiao Ge believes that if he can acquire this piece of land, he may not be able to become the largest planting base in the country, but it is definitely not small in terms of single area.

After two days of investigation, Jogo was very satisfied.

The administrator asked Jogo to give him another three days to do the work of those landlords.

Jogo is not in a hurry about this, he can still wait for three days.

Two days later in the afternoon, Hudi Oga suddenly hurried into Djogo's room.

Hudi Oga, a handsome guy in his early thirties, is now Jogo's assistant.

"Boss, something is wrong." Hu Di said with a serious face.

"Huh? Something happened to the land?" Jogo asked.

This kind of land acquisition is not so easy. The administrator of Surat told him to give him three days, but Jogo still didn't think he could do it.

This kind of thing has to be negotiated for some days, and there are some big local families on the opposite side, and these people are not easy to settle.

After knowing that someone bought it, I'm afraid they will sit on the ground and raise the price.

Qiao Ge knows this well, as long as they are not too outrageous, he will satisfy them with a higher price.

In the previous land acquisition process, I was often much higher than the average local land price, even higher than the highest price.

For Qiaogo, efficiency is the most important thing. If the land price is slightly higher, it is not a big problem. The most important thing is to quickly take the land and start building a planting base.

Otherwise, use some repressive means, maybe you can win it cheaper, and there will be great hidden dangers in the future.

In short, Jogo will not be stingy with things that can be solved with money.

Of course, it can't be too outrageous, such as a lion opening his mouth wide, so let's keep it.

The world is so big, are you afraid you won't be able to find land?

"The few pieces of land we were looking at were suddenly traded yesterday." Hu Di said.

"Eh? Is this a government acquisition? It's so fast. I didn't expect the Surat government to be so efficient." Jogo's face suddenly changed when he said this, "Why? Wasn't it acquired by the government?"

If it was purchased by the government, Hudi wouldn't have come here to tell him that something was wrong, right?
"Someone got the news in advance?" Jogo said in a low voice.

What I am most afraid of is this kind of thing. Some people know that they want to buy land, so they will buy the land first, and then sell it to themselves at a high price. As long as the transfer is successful, they can make a lot of money.

Jogo was not surprised at all by the leak from the government.

He believes that the old fairy must be tight-lipped, but it is useless for him to keep it secret, because some senior government officials in Surat know about it, because the old fairy needs to report to the higher authorities.

"Yes." Hudi replied.

"This matter has to be referred to the Surat government." Qiao Ge said in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid it's useless." Hudi said with a wry smile, "Boss, now that piece of land belongs to a company named Nani Wadekar Agricultural Company."

"Nanniwardkar?" Jogo said, the surname was all too familiar, "Namu Nanniwardkar?"

"According to my investigation, Namu came from that family." Hu Di replied.

Qiao Ge laughed out loud, this is using power for personal gain.

This makes sense, who else has better news than Namu, the administrator.

After his own side took a fancy to the range of those lands, the old fairy reported him, and then he let the family members buy the land of other families overnight.

To be able to complete the transaction so quickly, in addition to the great power of the Nanivadekar family, it probably also relied on the power of Namu's administrator.

Of course, the purchase price may be higher than usual, and for Namu, the land must be acquired as quickly as possible.

After they took all the land into their pockets, they obviously wanted to sell it to themselves at a higher price.

"Boss, this Surat government is unreliable and not worth investing in." Hudi said, "Let's go."

'Dong dong dong', at this time there was a knock on the door, and the bodyguard outside the door said that the old fairy had come.

Jhogo tells Hudi to open the door.

As soon as the old fairy came in, he saw Hudi beside Qiao Ge staring at him coldly, and he understood in his heart that Qiao Ge obviously knew about it.

Although Jogo looked normal and couldn't see anything, anyone would be angry if something like this happened.

The old fairy looked a little embarrassed and said: "Mr. Gupta, I really can't tell you about the land acquisition~~"

"I want to ask if this has anything to do with the administrator?" Jogo asked.

The old fairy could only shake his head and admit it, there was nothing to hide, Qiao Ge must have known it all.

"If this is the case, it's hard to convince me of the sincerity of the Surat government. Even if I buy the land, I'm afraid there will be big problems in the future. No one wants to do this kind of business, right?" Qiao Ge said lightly. Said.

"Mr. Gupta, I am very sorry about this matter." The old fairy took a deep breath and said, "But I will give you an explanation."

"You?" Jogo was stunned for a moment, "Can you convince Namu? Or make their bid not so outrageous?"

"Mr. Gupta, their bids cannot be low. They are a group of extremely greedy people. I know this very well." The old fairy said in a deep voice, "Even if Mr. Gupta agrees, I cannot let you be killed They kill you, I invited you, and I have to take responsibility. I will not let them do whatever they want."

He has already received the news that the Naniwadkar Agricultural Company has quickly acquired the land of other landowners at a price 3% higher than usual.

The price they paid must be recovered several times or even dozens of times from Jogo, which is known without thinking.

"What are you going to do?" Jhogo asked.

"Even if I quit my job, I still have to pull these bastards down." The old fairy said resolutely.

Qiao Ge didn't expect the old fairy to say such a thing, but it was in line with the tough character of his previous life.

"Actually, I can leave now and let them work for nothing." Jogo laughed, "You don't have to do that."

Now they sign everything, and they don't have to invest in it at all. What kind of land they buy, just let them play by themselves.

It doesn't have to be here, and suitable agricultural land can also be found in other places.
