Reborn as the richest man in India.

Chapter 224 Received more than 600 billion (seeking monthly ticket)

"Manmohan, Jogo's words seem a bit absurd, but they make sense after careful consideration. Let alone Iraq, who can guarantee that there will be no conflicts and wars in other places? The world is not peaceful. " Bu Peng reminded aloud, "The issue of foreign exchange really needs to be paid attention to. Don't find out that there is not enough foreign exchange at the end of the matter. It will cause a big mess."

Manmohan shook his head, in fact, he had already realized it.

Although Jogo's words were all guesswork, he still needed to take this kind of thing into consideration.

As a policy maker, one must consider everything thoroughly, otherwise it will be too one-sided.

"Then Qiao Ge, how do you increase foreign exchange? Apart from saving, you are doing well now. Organic agriculture and high-end mineral water have indeed saved a lot of foreign exchange consumption." Manmohan said.

From what he has learned about foreign exchange consumption in the past month, the import of organic agricultural products and high-end mineral water has almost fallen off a cliff. This is really thanks to Qiao Ge.

"How to increase exports is a matter for the country to consider. I don't have any good solutions, but there is one thing that can be done." Jogo said, "Strive to let more expatriates and laborers abroad remit foreign exchange back, and the remittance is completely A little more discount can be given, for example, the exchange price can be higher."

"That's a way." Manmohan smiled and said, "But it may be very difficult to pass these policies."

Jogo didn't answer, these have nothing to do with him.

Besides, what I said is almost the same, no matter how good the method is, what's the use?

Anyway, the parliament is basically unable to pass.

Otherwise, it would not have almost bankrupted the country later.

"It's really not safe to have too little foreign exchange. You really have to raise this issue with the higher-ups," Bu Peng said.

"Do your best." Manmohan sighed, "Our prime minister is about political economy~~~"

Having said that, Manmohan didn't continue talking.

Jogo knew what he wanted to say.

Rajiv's political and economic talents are actually very average.

After all, he was not in politics at the time, but after his mother was assassinated, he was forced to take over and then became a politician.

A lot of things are really not as good as one would like in terms of politics.

The same goes for the economy.

In 91, the economy collapsed and foreign exchange was tense, mainly because he relaxed import controls, which led to a large consumption of the country's foreign exchange reserves.

But Rajiv has accomplished a lot during his reign.

For example, the investment in education is still quite large, especially in the IT industry. Thanks to his strong support, India's IT industry is famous all over the world.

"Forget it, let's not mention the foreign exchange in advance, and the domestic finances are still tight at the moment." Manmohan said, "Actually, I don't agree with the license auction. If this sets a precedent, then other licenses will be Doesn’t it have to be auctioned? The license auction is fine, so can other things be auctioned? For example, the positions of government departments?”

"Manmohan, you think too much." Bu Peng said.

"This is not alarmist talk, old friend." Manmohan stared at Bu Peng and said, "Once you have tasted the sweetness, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop, not to mention the position, then some state-owned mines, resources and so on, these It can always be sold, right? If there is no money to sell, then what future does this government have?"

Bu Peng didn't speak anymore. It cannot be denied that Manmohan's worry is justified, but what can be done?
Anyway, the thing that is certain about the license auction is the difference in how to operate it.

Regarding these, Jogo didn't want to answer, nor did he want to participate.

But he felt amused in his heart. At that time, wouldn't all these be sold?
During the reform in 91, marketization, the privatization of state-owned companies, and the permission of private companies to enter industries such as energy and mines, weren’t they all sold out?

And it was the person in front of me who formulated these policies, although he now firmly opposed it.

But Jogo also understands in his heart, this time is right now.

The economy is not so difficult now, so Manmohan obviously would not think of using what seems to be an extremely extreme method at the moment.

Even if he thought of it, he wouldn't use it, and no one would support it.

"Jogo, according to your idea, how many petrochemical industry licenses are more suitable for auction." Manmohan suddenly stared at Qiaogo and asked.

These words made Qiao Ge's heart skip a beat.

I don't want to talk about such a big event.

Just now he just said that there were too many licenses, but he really didn't think about how much he really had to say.

"Well, since the government has decided to auction, I think we should find a balance between everyone's needs and the government's collection." Jogo replied.

"You're being cunning." Manmohan stared at Qiao Ge and said, "Don't worry about saying it boldly, it's still the same sentence just now, there are only three of us here, and the words will not enter the ears of the fourth person."

Qiao Ge smiled awkwardly, he seemed to have said what he said just now, but in fact it seemed that he hadn't said anything.

He thought that he could get away with it so easily, but he forgot how easy it is for the two in front of him to be fooled?

Having said that, Jogo didn't dare to fool around anymore.

He pondered for a while and said: "Mr. Singer, I think that in industries like petrochemical industry, even those bidders must have a corresponding entry threshold. If the quantity is not large, then ensure the quality and let them invest The scale must be large. For the government, a few large-scale petrochemical companies are easier to manage than a dozen or twenty companies of various sizes.”

"That makes sense, so how many do you think are appropriate?" Manmohan asked.

"I think~~5 are about the same." Jogo said, "The number is small, and the competition is fierce, so everyone will fight for it during the auction. Otherwise, there are too many places, and everyone may get them anyway, so those people may be in private. If an agreement is reached and a low-price transaction is made in the end, wouldn’t it be the government that suffers?”

Manmohan smiled and said, "Then the starting price must also be raised."

"That is, the higher the better, the higher the power, the stronger it is, and there will be no problems at that time." Qiao Ge laughed.

"Qiao Ge, you don't participate yourself, so you wish the price was higher, the better? That's a bit of gloating." Bu Peng said a little speechlessly.

"Professor, you can't say that. I'm doing this to increase the country's financial revenue." Qiao Ge looked like a public servant.

For Jogo, it is better to issue fewer petrochemical licenses.

Otherwise, if there are too many, it will be much more difficult for me to intervene in the future.

Now that there are fewer licenses issued, there will be fewer petrochemical companies. In a few years, our own side will become stronger. If we ask the government to increase licenses, I believe there will be less resistance.

Otherwise, there are some objections. It can be said that there are enough companies in the petrochemical industry, and that is too bad for themselves.

After Jogo came back from Bu Peng, he kept thinking about what Manmohan was thinking.

Has he listened to himself and reduced the number of licenses.

These are big bosses, and there are very few things that can make them emotional. Anyway, I can't see anything from the changes in Manmohan's expression.

It can be said that Manmohan's expression did not change at all.

However, Qiao Ge still prefers that the number of licenses should be reduced. A dozen or so are really too many.

No matter what industry it is, if so many similar projects are launched at once, will the market be able to digest them?

It is likely to cause unnecessary waste and loss.

Of course, Jogo was too lazy to think about it.

It can be heard from Manmohan's words that the license auction should be a recent event.

And it is very likely that it will be carried out in Mumbai.

This surprised Jogo a little.

Not in New Delhi?
Is this to avoid interference from the dignitaries over there?
Unlike, even if it is placed in Mumbai, the dignitaries in New Delhi will interfere or will interfere, and they will still intervene.

Then it is very likely that it is to let more rich people from Mumbai join.

It makes sense to think so.

It's just that Qiao Ge still has a third thought in his heart, that is, whether it is because of the Reliance Group.

Qiao Ge remembered that in his previous life, Reliance Group entered the petrochemical industry in the next few years, anyway, before the reform and opening up.

The headquarters of the Reliance Group is in Mumbai. If he comes forward and some wealthy people in Mumbai make efforts, it is really possible.

"Reliance Group." Jogo secretly sighed in his heart.

Even if the Reliance Group has not grown into the giant it was in the previous life, it is still a giant in India now, and its influence is naturally great.

However, Jogo is very satisfied with being able to meet Manmohan this time and have an in-depth communication with him. I believe that the impression he has given him should be deep enough.

Three days later, the government issued an announcement formally confirming the auction of petrochemical industry licenses.

The time was set for January 1987, 1, almost half a month later.

The time given to everyone is not too much, but everyone has already prepared before, half a month is actually almost enough.

Of course, Qiao Ge understood it immediately, and he was very surprised by the above content.

There are only three quotas for the auction, two less than the five I proposed.

He felt that his 5 quotas were almost enough, but he didn't expect that Manmohan directly cut off two more places.

It has been clearly stated in the announcement that the State Planning Commission is responsible for this matter, so it does not mean that Manmohan is responsible.

Qiao Ge could imagine that the following auction would be extremely tragic.

A few days ago, after the news of the license auction came out, there were many rumors on the market.

Due to the large number of licenses, some family forces that originally did not intend to enter the petrochemical industry have also begun to act.

As Qiao Ge said, some people really began to contact and collude with each other in private, which was to prepare for the low-price auction.

But with the announcement now, the previous efforts of these people were in vain.

There are only three places, and only truly powerful forces can grab them.

In addition to the reduction in the number of places, the starting price for one place is also astonishing, 100 billion rupees.

As Jogo said, the higher the starting price, the better, and the price is also beyond Jogo's imagination.

He didn't expect the starting price to be so high.

This price is enough to dissuade [-]% of people.

According to the previous number of more than a dozen licenses, everyone guessed that the starting price would not exceed one billion.

But now, one has almost doubled by ten times, who can bear it?
This is just a license, and then you have to buy land, buy equipment, and various constructions, all of which will cost a lot of money.

If it's not those wealthy families, how can they bear it?
For people or organizations who want to bid, the government has issued very strict regulations this time.

The total investment in petrochemical plants in the future should not be less than 300 billion.

This means that those who successfully obtain the license must invest at least 400 billion.

Bidders who want to enter the auction must pay a deposit of 30 billion.

The 30 billion will not be refunded by the government immediately after the auction, but will be refunded after five years, and the interest will be based on the bank interest rate for the same period.

In other words, the government forcibly borrowed money from these wealthy families for five years.

In addition, the auction will be very strict. It is not that bidders are not allowed to enter, and even journalists are not allowed. After the auction is over, the government will hold a press conference.

Of course, the government is not so impersonal, if anyone wants to watch, that's fine.

With a deposit of 1 million, you can enter and watch the entire bidding process.

However, the 1 million guarantee will be the same as the 30 billion, and the government will borrow it for five years.

Qiao Ge was amazed in his heart. These regulations all tried their best to help the government get money.

The deposit was used as a loan, and Qiao Ge thought that there must be a dozen family members participating in the auction.

As for the bystanders, there may be more people.

A bid of tens of billions is absolutely rare, and some rich people may not be able to bear it.

Although it is said that a 1 million deposit is required, it will be returned after five years, with interest calculated, which is not too bad a loss.

Huaida also called Jogo specifically about this matter.

Jogo said he would not go to see it.

This surprised Huai Da a bit. According to him, a young man like Qiao Ge, who is not short of money, should go.

Jogo is not short of [-] million now, but he doesn't need to lend the money to the government, and it's still five years.

After waiting for five years, I don’t know how much the value has been depreciated, especially the rupee depreciation after the 91 reform. He doesn’t want to be taken advantage of.

Besides, isn't it just an auction?
I haven't experienced tens of billions, but I have experienced billions of scales. It's not bad.

Why should I join in the fun?
Huaida originally wanted to go, but when he heard that Qiao Ge would not go, he gave up the idea.

Qiao Ge thought in his heart that the government definitely didn't even want to pay interest, but in order to attract more bystanders, it added interest.

The margin alone should be more than 300 billion.

Coupled with the three license quotas, the government will be able to collect more than 600 billion funds at once this time.

For the national finances, this is also a huge sum of money, which can effectively relieve financial pressure.

However, Qiao Ge feels that this is likely to make the government dependent.

Perhaps without the 91 reforms, the government would have started the sales model.

Anyway, on the eve of the reform and opening up, there were signs of this, such as the release of licenses, and the reduction of restrictions on private enterprises.

In short, financial pressure forces the government to make various choices.

While Jogo was waiting for the auction, an unexpected person came to his door.

"Mr. Jaeger, your piece of land is large enough, and it is really attractive, but the buildings on it are just~~" Qiao Ge sighed at this point.

It was Benfamo Jaeger who came to find Jogo.

He was worried about his unfinished project, and the bank's loan repayment period was coming up, and he couldn't afford the money to repay it.

If the project is not sold in time, once it is taken away by the bank for auction, the loss will be even greater.

Due to the auction of petrochemical licenses, countless rich people gathered in Mumbai, especially Mumbai itself has many rich people, so he put his last hope here.

When he came from New Delhi, he immediately went to visit some famous rich people in Mumbai.

It's a pity that many of them were rejected, and only a few received him. Of course, there was no result.

His project has long been famous, how can everyone not know his purpose?
No one dares to take on this kind of unfinished project.

Of course, in Qiao Ge's view, the main issue is the price. There is nothing that cannot be sold. As long as the price is lowered, how can no one want it?

As Herbiecha told himself before, he said that 5 million can be considered.

Of course, this price is unacceptable to Ben Famo, otherwise he would not have insisted on [-] million for a long time, and has been biting his tongue.

After hitting the wall countless times, Benfamo suddenly thought of Jogo.

The main reason is that there have been a lot of stories about organic agriculture and high-end mineral water in the newspapers recently, so he wanted to try his luck with this legendary young rich man.

After all, Qiao Ge has the strength to acquire his own project, which is the key.

Benfamo's eyes darkened when he heard Jogo's words.

How could he not know the value of his land?
The value has appreciated a lot over the years, but the unfinished building above, as long as it is the central commercial building, is unacceptable.

This is the design I am most proud of, and it will change the business format in the future.

But it was this design that he was proud of that caused no one to take over this project, which was too sad and ironic.

"[-] million, Mr. Gupta, how about it?" Ben Famo cried out his offer in pain, staring at Jogo expectantly.

This is almost his limit.

The debt outside is about [-] million. If [-] million can be sold, he can keep tens of millions. This money can allow him to live a good life. If he doesn't make trouble, he can live a lifetime.

"Mr. Jaeger, do you still have dreams?" Jogo asked instead of directly answering his words.

"Dream?" Ben Famo whispered.

Who doesn't dream.

How high-spirited was he when he invested in this project?
Looking forward to the future.

But the difficulties in reality far exceeded his imagination, and various blows followed, and he became like this.

As time went by, Benfamo began to doubt himself a little, and his previous beliefs had begun to crumble.

This project has become like this, and those dreams of mine can't be realized at all, it's just a dream.

"Mr. Gupta, I have woken up from my dream." Ben Famo said calmly.

"Are you willing?"

"So what if you're not reconciled?" Ben Famo smiled wryly, "It's been so many years, and now I realize how wrong the decision was."

"That's a pity," Jogo said.

Jogo's words made Ben Famo stunned for a moment, and he stared at Jogo in puzzlement.

"I can acquire your project, but Mr. Jaeger, why don't you join my company." Qiao Ge smiled.

Qiao Ge thought about this project before Ben Famo, and chose to give up after careful consideration.

But the situation is a bit different now. It's not that there is any change on Ben Famo's side. Even if the price drops, if there are no other changes, he will not make a move.

The main reason is that Manmohan and the government have used unscrupulous means to increase finances, so maybe I can do what they like and win their support.

With the support of the government, the biggest problem of this business model is solved.

Jogo felt that he had great confidence in convincing Manmohan.
