Chapter 384 The boss comes to visit
Luoton remembered that there were some comments against Laoxian on the Internet later, such as, as the prime minister, attending various bridges, shopping malls, and ribbon-cutting ceremonies for the completion of some temples, etc., is it very free?
I feel that he spends all his time on these things, which means he is not doing his job. Doesn't he want to do government work?
In fact, this is not just the old man doing it randomly. He needs to rely on these activities to increase his exposure and prestige among the people. There is no other way. The federal central government and local states in India are fighting for power in various ways, and it is very fierce.
The old immortal wanted to return power to the federal center and weaken the power of the local states, but the interest groups in the local states resisted in various ways.
Later on, the old immortal even almost deified himself, and he needed to rely on religion and deification to fight against these interest groups.
In fact, during his tenure, Laoxian did take back some power from local states.
But these obviously offended the interest groups in the local states.
These interest groups, such as the big landlords, later staged farces such as the farmers' march into Delhi in order to resist some of the old immortal's agricultural policies.
Because Laoxian's new regulations on agricultural food subsidies and selling prices harmed the interests of the landlord group, they organized these farmers to start making trouble.
The opposition is still very powerful.
In the end, the People's Party compromised and stopped implementing the new policy.
Judging from the results of India’s third general election, Laoxian tried his best but still failed in the end.
Even though he succeeded in taking back some power in local states, the BJP's number of seats in parliament fell drastically, to less than half, which was a huge failure.
This means that the People's Party has lost the support of a lot of people.
Many of these people are controlled by local interest groups because they face these people directly.
As long as there is coercion or inducement, and some price is paid, it can be done.
The old man is getting old, and his third term should be his last.
He is considered to be a very outstanding prime minister in all the Indian governments. Unfortunately, India is such a weird country that even a strong man like him is powerless.
These local interest groups are deeply entrenched and almost difficult to shake.
He can't change this situation.
It will be difficult to find someone like Laoxian in the future, and this situation will certainly not change. It is very likely that with Laoxian's departure, various interest groups will definitely make a comeback, and will become even more aggressive.
Make up for what you lost previously by doubling it.
Then India’s future is that there is no future.
Luoton's cell phone rang. He picked it up and found that it was Wulundi calling, so he answered the phone.
"What? Reliance Group agreed?" Luoton was a little surprised after hearing what Wulundi said.
Reliance Group actually agreed to acquire his telecommunications company, and the conditions were the ones he had asked Wulundi to propose before.
Luoton knew very well that the price and conditions were actually exaggerated, far exceeding the actual price.
He did have room for bargaining with Reliance Group, for example, if the price could be lowered by 30% to 50%, he would be able to accept it.
And now, the other party accepted it all without any bargaining.
This actually made Roton alert, as this was not normal.
"What are their conditions?" asked Rawdon.
"No, the acquisition company will follow exactly the conditions we set." Wulundi replied.
When the people from Reliance Group came to see him, Wulundi was also shocked when he heard what they said.
There has been no news since the last meeting with the other party.
In Wulundi's mind, this matter was a failure.
After all, he knew that the price he offered was a bit outrageous.
I had thought that the other party would continue to talk to me, but now it seems that the other party has given up directly.
This is not too surprising, as the other party can easily find other telecommunications companies with lower prices.
But who could have thought that the other party would come to the door again at this time and agree to everything at once.
"Oh, there is a condition, but this condition has little to do with the acquisition of the company." Wulundi said again.
"What conditions?" Rawdon asked curiously.
"Mr. Mukesh Ambani, the boss of Reliance Group, wants to come and visit you. Oh, he means he can come to Delhi to find you, what do you think?" asked Wulundi.
Wulundi's words gave Luoton a lot of thoughts and ideas.
Mukesh, a big shot, came to visit him personally? Luo Dun probably guessed what the other party wanted to do.
Reliance Group must have been having a hard time recently. Even though there are no major problems now, the morale within the group may be a little unstable.
After all, everyone knows that Reliance Group had a very good relationship with the Congress Party before, and received a lot of policy support from the government during the Congress Party’s rule.
Now that the Congress Party has lost power, it is not surprising that it is being purged.
Reliance Group will certainly not just sit there and wait for death, it will have to save itself.
Find yourself?
Luoton didn't think he had the ability to save the Reliance Group.
However, as for Mukesh coming to see him, Rodon understood that it was because he was in the limelight recently.
Especially since his relationship with the BJP is pretty good now, Mukesh wants to establish some connections with the BJP through himself.
That's no problem. I can act as a matchmaker and so on. As for whether Mukesh can resolve the crisis of Reliance Group, that depends on himself.
However, Luoton knew the situation behind the Reliance Group and became the old immortal's right-hand man. Although the support he received was definitely not as great as that of the Adani Group, he was safe after all.
The reason why it is safe and sound must be that some price was paid, but as to what price, that is not clear.
In short, even if he doesn't rely on himself, Mukesh can get through this crisis.
So Rodon was willing to help, and it would also make Mukesh owe him a favor.
In this case, it makes sense for Mukesh to pay a high price for his own telecom company and accept various conditions.
All of this is just to benefit yourself.
The price is a bit high, but it is a fair deal.
Thinking about the future of Reliance Group's telecommunications companies sweeping across India, Luoton is still very satisfied with this.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After all, he will also own shares in the new telecommunications company and have a say.
In addition, he can easily make friends with Mukesh, so there will be no major problems in the telecommunications sector in the future.
No matter what, Mukesh has been the richest man for many years. Even though the old man later focused his support on Adani, the existence and influence of Reliance Group cannot be ignored.
Arguably, India's best-known and most influential companies are the Tata Group, the Reliance Group and, in the future, the Adani Group.
There may be some other groups, but these three basically cover countless traditional basic fields in India.
For example, petrochemicals, automobiles, electric power and so on have penetrated into every aspect of society.
It can be said that Indian people cannot live without their products.
The Tata Group is an old group and of course they have great influence in politics.
However, due to his long history, he will not completely stand on the side of a certain political party in the political arena and will appear to be more low-key.
Of course, in the beginning, the Tata Group also relied on the government. At that time, it had a very good relationship with Nehru and received various support.
By now, the Tata Group has grown in size and strength to the point where it no longer needs to take sides as it did before.
There are advantages to taking sides completely, but there are also great disadvantages.
Once the supported political party collapses, the company will also be in great trouble and may be liquidated, suppressed or even destroyed.
Therefore, the Tata Group has basically maintained a certain degree of neutrality in its political stance. No matter which party comes to power, it will support it. Due to the influence of the Tata Group, these ruling parties generally will not really do anything to the Tata Group.
In this way, the Tata Group may not be able to obtain the benefits of standing in line as before, but at least it will not have too much trouble.
When a business reaches his size, there is no need to make that much money. The safest approach is to proceed step by step.
Reliance Group and Adani Group are different in this respect. Both of them started later and have less foundation than Tata Group.
Therefore, they need to rely more on their relationships with the government, so they must support a political party in order to gain greater benefits.
Reliance and Adani are a good example of comparison.
Reliance Group was a beneficiary of the previous ruling party and is now facing liquidation and suppression.
The Adani Group is an emerging company and will definitely receive various policies and resource support from the government. Everyone can see this.
This is the next Reliance Group.
In short, for the sake of their own interests and development, everyone will definitely choose a different path.
After a few years, when the Reliance Group becomes stable and strong, it will adopt a strategy similar to that of the Tata Group.
We may not be able to obtain huge benefits from the government all at once, but we can gain stability and security.
And given the size of their companies, the government has to give them many benefits.
Because even if the government wants to support some companies, those companies may not be able to take it up.
For example, there are various reasons such as lack of strength, poor skills, etc. After all, these cannot be achieved all at once.
So most of the work still depends on these large companies and groups.
Of course, the most important thing is that large groups like the Tata Group, which have a history of hundreds of years, have a network of relationships that has penetrated into all areas and aspects of India and is deeply rooted.
In addition, the Tata Group has always had a very good reputation among the Indian people, which is also a huge halo for them.
What Roton is doing now is actually similar. The support and recognition of the people can become a talisman to a certain extent.
"Tell them, it's no problem. If I weren't so busy at the police station recently, I could go to Mumbai to visit Mr. Ambani." Rawdon replied with a smile.
As the richest man, he should still be given some respect.
Putting aside the various other interests involved, Mukesh is a very influential boss after all, and it won't do any harm for Rodon to get to know such a person.
