Chapter 387 Blackmailing the Richest Man
To be honest, Mukesh really doesn't think highly of Rodon's level.
After all, he is the only richest man, and there are many deputy police inspectors like Rawdon. Even the deputy commissioner of the New Delhi Police has several deputy commissioners, right?
But now Rotun has a great influence, and the most important thing is the relationship between Rotun and the People's Party. This means that Rotun can no longer be treated as an ordinary deputy police inspector.
In Mukesh's view, Rodun was obviously someone who could have a say with the BJP.
Of course, he had already contacted his connections in the People's Party, but as of now, no one there could give him a clear answer.
Even some of the replies were of very low level.
These responses did not reassure him at all.
He needs to find every opportunity to increase Reliance Group's defensive strength.
If an influential figure like Rawdon could get some support and goodwill from him, it would definitely be a great thing for the Reliance Group.
He came to see Roton in person to show how seriously he took the matter.
Rodun could feel Mukesh's sincerity.
Of course, Rodon also knew that Mukesh was doing this for the Reliance Group, otherwise he would not be so approachable.
Given my identity, the other party generally doesn't care too much.
The main reason is that Mukesh feels that he is of some use to him.
These businessmen would not do anything without profit, and Roton could understand that.
The two first talked about the acquisition of the telecommunications company. Later, Mukesh gradually turned the topic to Rodon, such as the relationship between Rodon and the BJP.
These words were somewhat roundabout, and Mukesh did not say them directly.
But Luoton could understand the hidden meaning in his words.
Even if Mukesh didn't say anything, Rodon could guess his intention of looking for him this time.
It is for self-rescue and for Reliance Group.
Luo Dun did not answer Mukesh directly, but said: "A friend of mine, oh, that's Sori from Shencha Company, he is planning to invest in a project recently."
"Oh? What project?" Mukesh asked immediately with his eyes lighting up.
In his opinion, Rotten should be putting forward conditions.
He had already investigated some of Luoton's situations and knew that the Shencha Company belonged to Luoton and that Luoton was the boss behind the scenes.
Nasori is just a person in charge on the surface.
This kind of thing is very common in official circles, and no one can find any fault with it.
Besides, there is really no shady stuff about the Shencha Company, unlike some officials who let their relatives set up companies and then use their power to make profits for them.
However, this magic tea is indeed good. He has tried it and the effect is indeed very good.
I don't know how this guy Rotten came up with such a thing.
Isn't he a policeman?
Is this considered a waste of time? In Mukesh's opinion, Rodon actually has a good business sense.
If he concentrated on business, he might become a young genius in the business world.
These thoughts just flashed through his mind. After all, Rawdon's achievements in the police system were also amazing.
Mukesh thought to himself that Rodon wanted him to invest in this project.
It is called an investment, but in fact it is just giving money to Roton.
He understands these routines.
He is not afraid of Rotun making conditions now. As long as Rotun has the conditions, then half of his business will be done.
What's a little money? "He said that the project he was going to invest in was very large and required a lot of money." Luo Dun smiled.
"How much is the investment amount?" Mukesh asked.
He thought he had heard something behind what Rawdon said.
Is the project big?
Need a lot of money?
That means Roton’s offer this time is not low.
You have to be prepared to be slaughtered.
As long as it is within your psychological expectations, it can all be negotiated.
"We're probably still $1 billion short," said Roton.
"Dollar?!" Mukesh's face changed.
100 crore is nothing to him if it is Rs.
But if it is US dollars, it is different.
Now 1 US dollar can be exchanged for more than 60 rupees, which means this is 60 billion rupees.
This Rodon is really bold to speak. The lion asks for a lot. Does he think he is the one being taken advantage of?
I'm in trouble, but I can't be ripped off like this.
Billions, or even tens of billions of rupees, as long as what Rawdon does for him is reliable, he can actually accept it.
After all, he was ready to pay a heavy price this time.
Now that Rodon offered $1 billion, Mukesh no longer had a good impression of Rodon and even felt angry.
The price was completely beyond his expectations.
There was no way he would agree to this; it was blatant blackmail.
"Sori is cooperating with Adani Group this time to invest in the development of Carmichael Coal Mine in Australia. The investment this time is huge. It is said that the investment scale is 3 billion US dollars. Now we have raised nearly 2 billion US dollars." Luoton said, "It is difficult to raise the remaining funds. I heard that banks are not willing to lend. Now we have borrowed almost all we can, but there is still a big gap. So I was thinking about Mr. Ambani, I wonder if you are interested?"
After hearing what Rodon said, Mukesh's anger quickly faded away.
He found that he seemed to have misunderstood Roton.
This is not the case that Roton wants to give him money himself.
It is a real investment.
Of course, this can’t really be considered a real investment. It can be said that it’s an attempt to get himself involved in dealing with Adani.
How could he not know Gautam Adani? They were all in the business world, so how could he not know about Adani's success in Kupang? Adani had a close relationship with Lao Xian, and in Kupang, he received various policy preferences from Lao Xian, which could be said to be a clear transfer of benefits to the Adani Group.
It can be said that Adani is the same as him in this respect.
Because of his close relationship with the Congress Party, he was given various policy preferences during the Congress Party's rule. As a result, the Reliance Group has developed rapidly in recent years and his personal wealth has increased significantly, allowing him to be the richest man in India for so many years.
It’s just that now the Congress is out of power and the BJP is in power, and Adani’s next days will be his former glory days, and he is on the decline.
"This?" Mukesh hesitated.
"Mr. Ambani, what are your concerns?" asked Rawdon.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Director Mahesh, to be honest with you, Mr. Adani and I have met several times~~" Mukesh stopped talking here.
Rawdon understood immediately.
Mukesh and Adani probably don't have much in common.
This was due to my own negligence.
Adani is still not as strong as Mukesh now. The gap in assets is too big and he is not even a heavyweight at all.
Adani can only be considered to have influence in Kupang, and it has basically few industries in other places.
After all, he mainly relies on his relationship with Laoxian. Laoxian is the chief minister in Kupang, so his industry is naturally mainly in Kupang.
Next, as Laoxian becomes the prime minister, he will start to advance into other states.
The current Reliance Group has long been a large national group.
If the old immortal had not taken over, Mukesh probably would not have taken Adani seriously.
But now it’s different. Rodon believes that Mukesh also knows the future potential of Adani, which is definitely another Reliance Group.
After all, this is almost how the Mukesh family made their fortune, and they are very familiar with this routine.
It’s not so easy to find connections with Adani now.
"I know Mr. Adani, but I don't know if Mr. Ambani is interested in this project?" asked Roton.
Mukesh's heart moved. He did know something about the relationship between Rodon and Adani.
After all, there are traces of some exchanges between Roton and Adani, so he was able to get such information.
If Roton could help him connect with Adani, perhaps he could use Adani to establish a relationship with Laoxian.
After all, the relationship between Adani and Laoxian is obvious.
When Luoton mentioned this investment project, it was obvious that he was trying to get close to the old immortal.
He felt a little sad in his heart. If this thing really came true, he would owe Luoton a big favor.
Of course, he still had some concerns in his heart.
Although Rotun was helping him so much, he still had some concerns in his heart.
After all, he and Roden had no relationship before.
So, it is possible that Rodon did this just for the $1 billion, and teamed up with Adani to defraud himself of the money?
This possibility still exists.
After all, it is 1 billion US dollars, which is not a small amount of money. There are opportunities here, but also risks. Mukesh is thinking about it in his mind.
He quickly replied: "Of course I am interested, but I don't know whether Mr. Adani will agree to my investment."
Mukesh chose to believe.
The reason is simple.
If Rotun really wanted to blackmail him, it would actually be simple.
Given Luoton's current influence, it is actually easy to cause trouble for Reliance Group.
By then, even if Roton said nothing, he would have to give him a huge benefit. Maybe not as exaggerated as 1 billion US dollars, but it would probably be several hundred million US dollars.
Therefore, if Roton really wanted to take his own money, there was no need to involve Adani.
If they join forces with Adani, the two of them will have to share the money, and it may not be just the two of them who share the money, there may be others as well.
By then, what Rotun gets may not necessarily be more than what he could achieve alone.
Of course, it is also possible that Roton chose this method because he wanted to share the benefits with others.
But by this time, Mukesh felt it was worth the gamble.
He actually doesn't have much choice now.
The most important thing is to gain the understanding of the BJP and not to pursue his previous relationship with the Congress Party.
The investment that Luoton mentioned is the opportunity to get in touch with Laoxian, which is his most desired goal.
As long as he can solve this problem, he can pay any price.
Moreover, looking at Rodon's experience, Mukesh felt that Rodon was still trustworthy.
These can be seen from Luoton's working style.
At least Roton still has principles and is not the kind of person who has no bottom line.
If they were people with no bottom line, Mukesh would definitely not believe them.
