Chapter 454: Tyranny
Cyrus is now the chairman of Tata Group, and SP Group will naturally benefit.
Since Cyrus' father is old, the business of SP Group is mainly managed by his eldest son, Cyrus's brother Shapur.
Ever since Cyrus came to power, his identity as the chairman of the Tata Group has made his brother Shapur act arrogant and domineering.
Due to the power of the Tata Group, his opponents basically dared not fight back and could only accept all kinds of losses.
SP Group's profits have been rising steadily in recent years, which makes Shapur very proud.
"Since you were not in Mumbai before, I suffered a loss in this matter, and I basically accepted it," said Sori. "But now you are back, so..."
Of course Sori felt unfair before, but thinking about the other party's power in Mumbai, even if Rotun stepped in, there would probably be nothing they could do.
So Sori thought that he could just mention this matter to Rotten later.
After all, when others suffered losses when facing Shapur, they basically just considered themselves unlucky.
Sori can still afford the loss of more than one billion rupees.
The main reason is that the other party has a strong background. If they really continue, the loss will be more than tens of billions, and it will also bring various troubles to Roton.
Now that Rawdon is back and has become the Commissioner of the Mumbai Police, Soli feels that there may be a turning point in this matter.
Rodun holds enormous power in Mumbai, and can be said to be in charge.
The nature of this is different.
And he also knew that there were some conflicts between Rawdon and Cyrus.
Since this matter involves Cyrus, Rotten will not let it go easily if there is a chance.
This incident can also deal some damage to Cyrus.
Rawdon did not answer immediately.
This kind of thing is too common.
A good project, with too many people watching.
Those powerful people are all eyeing these fat pieces of meat, so now it’s time to compete with your connections and relationships.
Whoever is stronger eats the meat.
This time, the relationship on the SP Group's side is stronger.
As for this, Rotten could understand and would not blame Sori.
I had a good network of connections in Mumbai before, but there was a big problem: I was not in Mumbai.
So, most things can be solved through your own network of relationships, but some big problems cannot be solved.
The SP Group is a local tyrant, and with the influence of the Tata Group, basically no one dares to offend them.
It is not surprising at all that SP Group snatched the project from Sori.
"Didn't they say anything about compensating for our losses?" Roton asked after a while.
Sori was almost able to get the project. There was some investment in the early stages, such as leveling the fields and of course various expenses for building relationships with the government.
"They said we started the work without permission, which is illegal..." Sori said with a wry smile.
In the past, he thought such things were a done deal, and there was no problem starting construction before the formalities were completed.
Who could have thought that the SP Group would emerge later? Now the government is completely on the side of the SP Group, and we have been completely left aside.
Those investments are definitely wasted.
"It's too ugly to eat incense." said Roton.
After all, the SP Group is a company with a long family history. It is not fair for them to do such a thing.
Luoton understood that this was probably because the SP Group was used to being domineering.
Before Cyrus became the chairman of Tata Group, SP Group was also so arrogant. After all, they were the largest shareholder of Tata Group besides the Tata family.
This identity is enough to make countless people in awe and fear.
Not to mention that Cyrus has become the chairman of Tata Group in recent years, and the Mistry family is now in its heyday and at its peak.
At this time, not many people would offend them, so they should retreat.
Roton knew very well that someone like Shapur was well-informed and it was impossible for him not to know that he was behind Sori.
But he did it anyway. Besides his usual arrogance and domineering attitude, it was also because he knew that Cyrus had a conflict with himself.
Then it becomes normal to target yourself.
"Who else is involved here?" Rawdon asked again.
"There are quite a few people from the government, oh, and the police system, including Moss, who helped Shapur a lot. He sent the police to expel all of us from the construction site." Sori said.
Roton was not surprised. Moss was on Cyrus' side, so it was not surprising that he helped Shapur.
Needless to say, this project involves a lot of people, mainly from the government side.
With the Tata Group as their background, those officials and politicians are definitely on the side of the SP Group.
As for the police, Rawdon no longer cared.
Moss is no longer the Commissioner of Mumbai Police.
As for the people on the government side, Rawdon felt that he needed to make some plans.
This matter cannot be left alone.
This is not a matter of a few crores of rupees.
If he can't even handle these things now that he is here, the director's authority will be greatly challenged.
"Has anything happened since the SP Group took over this project?" Luoton asked, "For example, some violations of laws and regulations, preferably related to the police."
Hearing what Rotten said, Sori's eyes lit up.
"There are many illegal things." Sori said immediately, "They didn't pay the land acquisition fee that was originally promised. Even if they did pay that price, it was very low, far from what was agreed. The people over there protested, but the SP Group hired someone to suppress it. Conflict broke out between the two sides, and many people were killed and injured."
Luo Dun thought to himself that it was indeed so.
Speaking of which, Rotten's requirements for Sori are quite strict.
Although Sori still has Indian characteristics in running the company, using government connections to make profits, it is much better in comparison.
When it comes to the SP Group's gang-building and murderous activities, Sori basically listened to Rodon and did nothing, or did very little.
In terms of the land acquisition price, Sori gave a relatively fair amount and was not too harsh.
Companies like the SP Group are suppressing the land prices to the extreme and they do not treat the land owners as human beings.
The main owners of that piece of land are all ordinary people. Even if there are some who own more land, they are just small landlords and their scale is not large.
These people are like an egg hitting a stone in front of the SP Group.
It can be said that the SP Group is engaged in robbery.
This kind of thing is all too common in India.
"I see." Rawdon smiled.
In matters like this, the police have an excuse to intervene.
In fact, the police can basically intervene in all matters, big or small, in society, and it is easy to find excuses.
This is why the police have great power locally.
No matter who you dislike, the police will always come to cause trouble for you.
"SP Group has committed many other illegal acts," said Sori.
"Okay, tell me everything you know." Rotten said with a smile.
Sori had nothing to hide and talked for hours.
A lot of what he said was backed by solid evidence, but because the other party was the SP Group, few people dared to cause trouble for them.
Rawdon took note of all of this.
Needless to say, Roton will definitely not let this project go.
If he were still in New Delhi, the project might have gone unnoticed.
But now, Mumbai is his territory.
This is a case of being bullied to the extreme. If I back down, how will others view me?
Also, Cyrus’ tenure as chairman is almost over, and he will be out in a few months.
Later, because Cyrus was kicked out of the Tata Group, the Mistry family and the Tata family fell out.
They stood against the Tata family, which meant that all their previous power was gone in an instant.
In Roton's opinion, the Mistry family, especially Cyrus, was a little too proud and could not recognize the situation.
The power they have now actually has little to do with their family itself, but is entirely dependent on the power of the Tata Group.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Once they lose the Tata Group platform, they will be nothing.
It's just an ordinary wealthy family.
Later, they had a falling out with the Tata Group and were targeted by the Tata Group, and their end was very miserable.
Therefore, Luoton doesn't care about the SP Group at all.
There are only a few months left, and I can take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble for SP Group.
From Ratan Tata's perspective, causing trouble for the SP Group is like doing them a favor.
In short, Roton was willing to make friends with the Tata family. He would give them some benefits from time to time and make them do him a favor.
Of course, this matter is also beneficial to Rawdon.
That 100 billion project must be brought back.
"Sori, this project needs to involve more people," said Roton.
"I understand. It's unrealistic to eat all the spoils alone for such a big project," Sori said with a smile.
Such a large project could not be accomplished by one company alone, and he had previously cooperated with many local forces.
Unfortunately, with the intervention of the SP Group, no one on their side can fight against them.
"The people you found before were not strong enough." Luoton said, "I will contact Reliance Group and Tata Group for you later."
"That's great." Sori's face was delighted.
Reliance Group, then SP Group is not good enough.
"But is there something wrong with the Tata Group?" Sori quickly asked with some worry, "The chairman is Cyrus."
"It doesn't matter. I will contact Ratan Tata and cooperate with the Tata family. I believe they will be interested." Roton said with a smile.
"That's no problem." Sori also smiled.
He knew that Roton had a very good relationship with the Tata family.
In this case, the forces for reintegration on our side will include the Ambani family and the Tata family. With the joining of these two top Indian wealthy families, what is the SP Group?
Considering the power of Rodon as the chief of the Mumbai Police Department, Sori could imagine Shapur's wonderful expression when he learned the news.
"Is my project so easy to snatch?" Sori sneered in his heart.
Sori must be angry.
After all, he is a well-known figure now, and it would be best if he could get this position back.
Since he was planning to target the SP Group, Roton was not idle and decisively sent people to start various investigations.
As long as we investigate, all kinds of illegal activities will basically be unable to escape detection.
There are many things that SP Group does not hide at all.
This is not just their problem.
In India, this is often the case with powerful people.
The main reason is that they are used to being arrogant and think that no one can do anything to them.
Even if it is murder or arson, there is no fear of being found out because the evidence is ready.
Rodon contacted Mukesh and mentioned the 100-crore real estate project in Mumbai.
For Mukesh, these projects are not very attractive to him, mainly because they involve trouble. Normally, he does not need to compete with the forces related to the Tata Group.
However, since Luoton was involved, he was still willing to get involved and let a real estate company under the Reliance Group join in.
Later, Rodon also contacted Ratan Tata.
Ratan was also very supportive and allowed a real estate company owned by his family to invest in the company.
Sori's confidence soared. After all, with the joining of the Ambani family and the Tata family, he is now full of confidence.
Several parties began to raise funds, waiting for Roton to expel SP Group from the project. That would be the time for Sori to take over again.
On this day, a group of police broke into a real estate development company under the SP Group and took away all the company's management.
"What?" Shapur was shocked when he heard the news.
"Boss, the Mumbai police sent people to arrest him," said the secretary.
Shapur quickly calmed down.
"Roden?" Shapur said in a deep voice.
The police dared to arrest his people, it must be the order given by Rotten.
Otherwise, no one else in the Mumbai police would have the guts to do it.
He knew about the conflict between his brother and Roden.
Moreover, he knew that the real estate development project was originally initiated by Sori, and he was also clear about the relationship between Sori and Roton.
The last time he snatched the project was actually because of the conflict between Roton and his brother.
I want to vent my anger on my brother about these things.
Of course, he also values the profit of this project.
In short, in his opinion, if he snatched this project, he would not only be able to hit Luoton, but also make a lot of money, so why not do it? Luoton was in New Delhi, and even if he had some connections in Mumbai, these connections were far inferior to his.
Even if Rotun knew, he couldn't do anything to him.
However, no one expected that Rawdon would be transferred to Mumbai at this time.
If he had known that Rawdon would be transferred to Mumbai, he probably would not have taken action on this matter.
Now that he has made a move, he will not let go of this piece of fat meat easily.
"Boss, do you want to ask Mr. Cyrus?" asked the secretary.
"No, this is SP Group's business," said Shapur.
He couldn't always go to Cyrus for everything, right? He was in charge of SP Group, and he was capable, otherwise why would their father hand over the company to him.
"You should first go to the police and try to find out what that kid Rotun wants to do," said Shapur.
Now he needed to know Roton's specific intentions.
Only in this way can we take the next step.
If Roton thought he could do anything to himself by arresting people from his own company, he would be naive.
