Chapter 388 Controlling the Economic Lifeline
"It's hard to say," Rawdon replied. "I just know that Mr. Adani is short of funds to invest in coal mines, and he has been very anxious about this funding gap recently. So I think Mr. Ambani, as the richest man in India, should be able to afford it, so I just mentioned it. Mr. Ambani, now that you have agreed, I will ask Mr. Adani for you."
"Then I'll trouble you, Director Mahesh." Mukesh thanked.
"You're welcome. Mr. Adani and I are friends, and I also want to see his investment project go smoothly." Luoton said with a smile, "No matter whether it succeeds or not, I will give you a reply as soon as possible."
As for Adani, Roton has never mentioned this matter.
But Rawdon felt that he could have a good talk with him.
After all, Adani really lacks the funds to invest in the Carmichael coal mine.
Sori invested several hundred million dollars, and Adani has found another few hundred million dollars during this period.
But there is still nearly $1 billion that we really can’t solve.
This makes Adani very worried.
The current $2 billion in funds is not impossible to invest, but the gap between it and the investment scale he expected is still a bit large.
Adani called Rawdon several times regarding funding matters.
It's not that I asked Rawdon to help raise funds.
Adani knew that it was already very good for Sori to come up with a few hundred million dollars, and it was unlikely that Roton would come up with more.
He went to see Roden just to find someone to talk to about his troubles.
He now regards Rotun as a good friend, and only a good friend can allow him to confide his true words.
Of course, it was because Rotun was not a businessman and had no conflict of interest with him, so there was no psychological burden to talk about it.
Luoton thought it would be best if this could be accomplished.
Adani has itself to thank for getting adequate funding.
As for Mukesh, with the help of this introduction, he has established a relationship with Adani.
As for whether Mukesh can further establish some relationship with the old immortal in the future, it all depends on himself.
As for the subsequent situation of Reliance Group, no matter what methods Mukesh used or who he found, he finally succeeded in getting on the old immortal's track.
So, now I am just taking advantage of my foresight to gain great benefits for myself.
Once successful, these two former and current richest men in India will have to thank me and owe me a big favor.
As for the failure of this matter? It wouldn't be a big loss for me, it's just a matter of asking a question.
I can introduce other people to Mukesh, and I also know some people on the BJP side. Anyway, I want to let Mukesh know that I have helped him, and that's enough.
After Rawdon returned to Suwei and Kanina's residence, he called Adani and told them about Mukesh's intention to invest in Carmichael Coal Mine and fill the funding gap.
Adani was silent for a moment before replying to Roden, "Brother, the situation with Mukesh is a bit complicated. It has something to do with the government. Of course, it's mainly a problem with the Congress Party. Reliance Group was too close to the Congress Party before and has gained too many benefits over the years, so..."
There were some things Adani didn't say explicitly, but Roton certainly understood what they meant.
Needless to say, Reliance Group is definitely in the BJP's sights.
It is obvious that during the Congress Party's rule, Reliance Group received too much policy support from the government.
That is how the Reliance Group came to be today.
Now that the People’s Party is in power, they will definitely want to settle accounts.
This is not for the country. Most of the starting points are selfish.
Think about the huge wealth of Reliance Group, who wouldn't be jealous? If Reliance Group can be divided up, everyone can get a big piece of fat meat.
It can be said that the People's Party is eyeing these big fat sheep.
Of course, Reliance Group is not a company that can be manipulated easily.
What New Delhi did before cannot be replicated in Reliance Group.
Because the influence of Reliance Group is still very large, it is impossible to bring it down all at once.
Roton dared to say that the BJP might have already discussed some countermeasures and formulated some plans against the Reliance Group.
As a close confidant of the old immortal, Adani should know some inside information.
So, Adani is not very interested in Mukesh's so-called investment.
Because Reliance Group will become the target of the BJP, there is no need for him to have any interaction with Mukesh.
"I know." Roton smiled. "I think even if the government takes action against them in the future, it will take some time, right? It probably can't be done in the short term. Besides, if it really succeeds, there will be too many people who want to share the benefits. If too many people benefit, you will get too little. I think it's better for you to take the lion's share."
In fact, what Roton said was quite blunt and direct.
Adani was stunned after hearing this.
He knew that Rotun could understand the hidden meaning in his words, but he did not expect Rotun's answer to be so direct.
Even if the BJP takes over the Reliance Group in the future, there will certainly be many people who will participate in dividing the benefits.
The old immortal and people like him definitely got more benefits, but what Roton said also made sense.
There are too many people involved here. Even if each of them only gets a little, due to the large number of people, the total amount of these distributed parts is very considerable.
If too much is distributed, even if they account for the largest proportion, it is still too little overall.
It was obvious that Roton wanted to eliminate some of those guys.
Who doesn’t want to get more benefits?
But there are still some difficulties in this.
After all, the Reliance Group is not that easy to deal with. If the BJP is not united, it may not be able to take down the Reliance Group.
At least it will be very difficult to completely win.
"I think a complete Reliance Group is not a bad thing. If they can stand on the side of the Congress Party, they can naturally stand on the side of the BJP. Now Mukesh obviously wants to find connections with the BJP. I think you can give him a chance to take advantage of it." Luoton smiled and said, "If you win over the Reliance Group, the BJP's rule will be more stable."
If it were in the past, Roton would definitely not have said these words. This concerns some decisions within the People's Party. How could an outsider like him have much to say?
However, since this matter involves two big bosses, Roton thinks it is still worth it.
I am now just a middleman, a matchmaker.
Moreover, because he knew the final outcome of Reliance Group, he wanted to let Mukesh know that he had helped him.
This is very important.
Adani began to think about what Roton said.
To be honest, he did have the same opinion as the vast majority of the BJP, which was to get rid of the Reliance Group, divide up their wealth, seize the resources they controlled, replace the Reliance Group, and take over their industries.
But if they really do this, even if they get the assets of Reliance Group, their influence will probably be greatly reduced.
Because it is impossible for me to get everything, even some important industries cannot be taken over completely.
If too many people are involved, then too many benefits will need to be divided.
Perhaps this idea of Roton is most in line with the goals of himself and the old immortal.
Only a complete Reliance Group can have great influence. If it is split up, it will soon fall apart and its current influence will no longer exist.
Adani still understood the old immortal's thoughts. The old immortal needed to grasp power, and this meant not only grasping the power of the entire Indian federation.
What is more important is to grasp the internal power of the People’s Party.
After all, there are still many factions within the People’s Party, and not everyone submits to the old immortal. Some people want more power.
If the Reliance Group is divided up, some opposition factions within the BJP will also benefit greatly.
This is not the result that Laoxian and Adani want to see. They certainly don't want this group of people to get big benefits.
Luoton's meaning is very clear, that is to incorporate Reliance Group and make it his own.
This is indeed a good idea and method.
By then, it will be Laoxian and his people's side. Once Reliance Group changes direction, the strength on our side will inevitably increase greatly.
In this way, some opposition factions within the People's Party can be better suppressed, allowing the old immortal to exercise greater power.
Lao Xian is strong, which means Adani is strong. The cause and effect relationship is very clear.
"Are you worried that once Reliance Group joins, it will have an impact on some of your industries?" Luoton asked again.
This made Adani a little embarrassed.
Of course he was concerned about these things.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Reliance Group is such a huge company that is involved in all walks of life.
If Reliance Group is allowed to come over, it will inevitably affect his Adani Group.
"To be honest, yes," Adani did not deny it.
This kind of thing cannot be hidden from Luoton.
"I think this is better." Luoton smiled, "Now that we are one family, you can discuss which industry you want to get involved in. Besides, given your friendship with the Prime Minister, I don't think you have to worry about this. At that time, it will be the Reliance Group that will give in, not your Adani Group."
Adani immediately understood what Rawdon meant.
This means that in the future, we and Reliance Group will each choose some industries, so as to avoid unnecessary malicious competition.
I have to say that what Roton said makes a lot of sense.
He represents the BJP side. If Reliance still represents the Congress Party, there will definitely be a big business war between the two.
Generally speaking, this kind of thing will hurt the enemy by a thousand and your own side by eight hundred.
If Reliance Group can be brought into one's camp, this unnecessary fight can be avoided.
Since we are family, we can discuss who will enter which industry.
The old immortal and I do have a very good relationship, so I definitely have the advantage in this regard.
No matter how powerful the Reliance Group is now, it is a new investor after all.
The BJP may not liquidate the Reliance Group, but its trust in the Reliance Group is definitely not as high as its own.
"That makes sense. I'm worried about this and that now, which makes me look timid." Adani laughed.
"I believe that in the near future, Adani Group will be another Reliance Group," said Luoton.
Luoton was very clear about the care that Laoxian took for Adani. The various policies that followed were simply tailor-made for the Adani Group, with all kinds of gifts and giveaways.
If you want money, the bank will lend you money; if you want projects or assets, the state-owned assets will be sold directly at a low price.
In just a few years, Adani's wealth increased hundreds of times, making him the richest man in India.
Although Reliance Group later joined Lao Xian's side, the benefits it obtained were definitely much less than Adani.
Of course, this is the best outcome for Mukesh.
After all, the Reliance Group has not suffered a crisis and has also developed.
It is normal that his development is not as exaggerated as that of Adani Group.
After all, Lao Xian’s support for him is definitely not as great as that of the Adani Group.
Adani is the person that Laoxian truly trusts.
The two major groups each have their own business areas.
For example, Reliance Group’s petrochemicals, telecommunications, etc.
Adani Group's power, ports, coal and more.
In short, the main industries of the two major groups are staggered to avoid direct competition.
This can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the two, or the result of discussion.
In fact, it’s not just them, the Tata Group is also the same.
For example, Tata Steel, Tata Motors, etc.
In the steel and automobile industries, Tata Group is stronger than both of them.
These large groups each have their own monopoly industries and advantageous industries, which can avoid all kinds of vicious competition.
These large conglomerates have monopolized and divided up all major industries in India, becoming giants that control the economic lifeline of India.
"Brother, even if I agree to this, it doesn't count." Adani said, "Give me some time. Whether it succeeds or not, I will give you a reply by tomorrow night at the latest."
Roton was not surprised by this, as he knew that Adani still needed to discuss this with the old immortal.
At least we have to convince the old immortal.
After hanging up the phone, Luoton couldn't help but stretch himself, saying that these things were still very exhausting.
Now I have done everything I should do regarding this matter. It all depends on what the old immortal chooses.
In fact, Roton was able to guess the final result.
A powerful figure like Laoxian must know how to choose, and accepting Mukesh is in his best interests.
Reliance Group can play the greatest role in the hands of Mukesh. If it is really divided up by the BJP, the biggest possibility is that it will fatten the pockets of some people below, which may not be a good thing for the entire BJP.
Moreover, the Congress Party will definitely create all kinds of trouble by then, such as making various public opinions, saying that the BJP is taking advantage of its power to embezzle Reliance Group's assets and so on.
Reliance Group has considerable influence, and this kind of thing cannot be kept secret, so the BJP will definitely be under great pressure.
The best way is naturally to incorporate Reliance Group, which is most beneficial to me.
Strengthen yourself without letting some people inside get too many benefits.
Most of these benefits went to the old immortal.
This is very attractive to the old immortal.
"Honey, it's getting late. You should rest." Su Wei came into the study and said.
Looking at Su Wei wearing cool and transparent pajamas, Luoton's eyes lit up.
The beauty hidden inside is so fascinating that one can't take their eyes away.
Then there was Su Wei standing over there. Her posture and charming look were all tempting to Luoton.
Roton knew that these women were very dedicated in trying to please him, and they took great care in how they dressed and dressed.
The Reliance Group’s affairs have been settled, and now it’s time to do what I want to do.
