Reborn as the richest man in India.

Chapter 227
"Gavalli, I want to separate the architectural design department and set up an architectural design company, what do you think?" Jogo asked.

"No problem, actually I also have this idea." Gavalli said hastily, "Boss, you have too many projects now, and the design department as a department is too restricted."

He is still very clear in his heart that Jogo seems to be asking for his own opinion, but in fact he has already made a decision.

And he also realized that Jogo is now very demanding in the field of construction, and the project investment is very large.

Then we must pay attention to the design.

It is better to leave these aspects to professionals.

"Then set up Gupta Architectural Design Company, Witty, you are in charge." Jogo looked at Witty and said.

Witty was overwhelmed with excitement, never expecting that he could manage a company independently.

"Boss, I will definitely not let you down." Witty said hastily.

"In terms of design, your business can't be limited to the projects of our related companies, you have to accept other people's design projects." Jogo said, "Whether it's ours or someone else's, the effect and quality must be guaranteed. I hope that the design The company can become a benchmark in the architectural design industry. In the future, the scope of this design business can also be expanded, not only in architectural design, but also in various designs in other industries.”

Of course, Witty's heart is very hot. Needless to say, he also has such expectations.

Who doesn't want to be the leader in the industry?
Jogo certainly recognized Witty's ability.

Only then did Ben Famo confirm that Jogo was really planning to move on with his unfinished project.

Moreover, Jogo's ideas are obviously more mature and more achievable than his own.

Thinking about how passionate I was back then, looking back now, in fact, it was full of problems from the very beginning, with congenital deficiencies, and I was doomed to fail.

Benfamo felt a little regretful and disappointed.

However, he thought that this commercial center could be built under his own responsibility, and he was proud to be able to participate in such a project.

And according to Qiao Ge, one or more will be built in other big cities in the future, and this model will be extended to the whole country.

Let these commercial centers become the landmarks of major cities and the status symbols of the rich.

This scale was beyond his imagination.

This kind of achievement is far beyond what I imagined back then.

Thinking of the future, he is now full of passion.

The auction of petrochemical licenses is finally underway.

Although Jogo didn't go to watch it live, he was still paying attention like most people.

A lot of news from the scene came out.

There are a total of 21 companies or individuals participating in the auction, which is much more than the dozen or so that everyone expected, almost doubled, and the deposit is 630 billion.

Originally, in everyone's opinion, the threshold for this investment is very high, and the conditions are quite harsh, and it is almost the same for a dozen or so companies.

The current situation is hot, obviously because everyone is optimistic about the petrochemical industry. Even if these conditions are harsh, they can accept them.

"There are so many rich people." Jogo couldn't help sighing secretly.

Most of these companies and individuals are backed by several forces.

It is still rare for a family or a company to participate in the auction.

The number of people bidding is large, and even more people are present to watch.

It is said that there were more than 300 people, and these people did not hesitate to lend 1 million in order to watch the auction in person.

This is another deposit of more than 300 billion.

Not counting the starting price of 100 billion for the three licenses, the deposit alone is nearly 1000 billion.

too crazy.

The poor in the slums have nothing to eat, and people starve to death every day.

And the people at the top are no different from the wealthy people in developed countries abroad, and their behavior is even more arrogant.

In the previous life, in this world, it was well known that the rich men in the Middle East with a white cloth on their heads were inhumane, but the rich men in India were not too arrogant.

At the same time, Qiao Ge was a little puzzled. There were no new rules for the auction.

He thought that the government would not let go of the investment funds of the three companies with a total of 900 billion yuan, but he didn't expect that they didn't say anything about it.

It may be that the margin here has greatly exceeded expectations, so the establishment of a special account to monitor the size of funds failed.

After all, if you want to establish this regulatory account, you will definitely be resisted by these bidders. These are not ordinary people, and they still have a lot of energy.

The auction starts at [-]:[-] pm and ends at [-]:[-] pm.

In the end, the forces that got the three licenses were the Reliance Group, the union of several families of Hebecha and the union of several families on Rupa's side.

The prices they won the licenses were 167 billion, 228 billion and 150 billion respectively.

The prices of the three licenses can be said to be very different, and the difference between them is outrageous.

It stands to reason that this kind of gap cannot be so large, and it can fluctuate by hundreds of millions at most.

There is a reason why this happens.

"Sure enough, the Reliance Group is still worse than the family on Lupa's side." Qiao Ge thought to himself.

A lot can be seen from these won prices.

The bidding price is actually a reflection of their respective status.

Rupa's family is similar to Benny's family, it is the top rich family with huge influence.

So when they made a move, many competitors simply gave up.

Even if there is a competition, if the other party still insists after reaching a certain price, they will give up.

They dare not raise the price too high for fear of offending others.

Those who really compete with the Rupa family must be wealthy families of similar status.

There are not many of these giants, the competition is not so fierce, and the final price is the lowest.

The Reliance Group belongs to the second level. Compared with the powerful families with a long history like Rupa and the others, the Reliance Group’s background is not as good, and its deterrence is slightly weaker. There will be more people participating in the competition, and the price will naturally go up. up.

However, the Reliance Group has huge wealth after all, and it is not known whether he has secretly benefited some other bidders, so this price is not too outrageous.

In short, the price of 167 billion can be fully afforded by the Reliance Group. It is just that he rarely has the power to come to the auction with the financial resources of a family, and there is no need to find someone to join forces.

The joint venture of the Hebicha family is almost the weakest among these bidders.

It's not that they are at the bottom, but most of the bidders here are similar to them. They are all joined by multiple families or some individuals. Their strength is much worse than that of the Rupa family and the Reliance Group.

Since the first two licenses were owned, they could only fight for the last one, so the killing was extremely fierce. In the end, it can be said that the killing was red-eyed, and the price was raised again and again.

It is said that the smell of gunpowder at the scene was very strong, and many bidders uttered foul language, which was completely inconsistent with their identities as children of wealthy families.

But everyone didn't say much, and they can fully understand their feelings.

Every bid is to make the last bidder pay a little more.

In the end, Hebicha and his family's joint forces had the last laugh and won the third license.

But Hebicha and his family's joint forces paid a much higher price than the previous two, which was a full 78 billion more than the Rupa family.

This is the so-called lack of status and money to make up for.

After all, the joint forces of the Hebicha family are similar in strength to the competitors, and no one is ready to let go easily.

In the end, they could only compete financially, so the final auction price was a sky-high price.

Qiao Ge could imagine that the government should be happy.

In fact, he could hear some inside information from Manmohan's words before. For example, the government was still a little bit pessimistic about the starting price of 100 billion, thinking that it would be embarrassing if no one bid.

After all, a quota of 100 billion is very expensive.

Therefore, in their minds, even if someone auctions it, adding a dozen or two billion should be the most.

Who would have thought that a total of 545 billion yuan would be auctioned, almost double the starting price.

It's true that some families are happy and some are sad. Jogo can also think that the Hebicha family may be frowning.

But it’s always a good thing. The petrochemical industry is entering now, and there are few competitors. The sooner you enter, there must be an advantage. If it doesn’t make money, then the person in charge can be pulled out and shot.

Just when everyone thought the dust had settled, the government issued a new announcement the next day, targeting the three companies that successfully bid for the license.

Qiao Ge heard it from the radio, and after confirming it, it was true news.

The government requires the three companies to deposit at least 300 billion yuan in a regulatory account specially opened for them by the government within one month. The purpose is to monitor the availability of their funds and prevent the three companies from falsely reporting the amount of investment.

These funds can only be used for project construction, and the government will distribute funds sequentially according to the construction progress of the project.

At the same time, other demands were placed on the three governments.

That is, the petrochemical plant must be completed and produced within five years. If the deadline is exceeded, the 30 billion deposit will not be refunded and a fine will be imposed.

For petrochemical licenses, the government allows the transfer, but the above conditions remain unchanged. Even if there is a successor, the above conditions must be complied with.

"Tsk tsk tsk, eating looks a bit ugly." Qiao Ge said in admiration.

He also thought that the government did not consider this measure because the auction price and the amount of the deposit exceeded expectations too much.

Unexpectedly, I still don't want to let go of the 900 billion.

However, Jogo thinks about India’s methods of defrauding foreign companies later. Laws can be formulated at any time and can be retroactive, so the government just adds a few conditions the next day, which is completely a routine operation.

In response to this situation, the three companies have protested, among which Hebicha's reaction is the most violent.

No way, they are the weakest of the three, including financial resources.

Getting a place at a high price has already greatly exceeded their budget, and now they have to raise 300 billion within a month, which is a bit terrible.

Their original plan did not say that they would delay the construction of petrochemical plants.

It's just that during the construction process, the funds can be gradually put in place, so that the pressure will not be so great.

Now that the government has done something like this, it is simply fatal.

In addition to the Reliance Group, even if it is the combined forces of the Rupa family, it is difficult for them to come up with so much cash at once.

A protest is a protest, and the government is determined.

Moreover, the government has made it clear that the petrochemical industry is related to national security and must be treated strictly.

With such a big hat off, who can say more?
So this matter cannot be changed, unless you don't want to do it yourself and transfer the license.

No one is willing to transfer the license that was obtained desperately.
