Chapter 315: Golden Trade Wind
On this day, Shakru was bored at home watching the first part of "Rushing to the Clouds", and sighed that he had just finished watching the second part not long before the time travel, it was really impermanent, white clouds and dogs. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Just when he was lamenting his life, Priti came in and reported: "Boss, someone from the Ministry of Commerce and Trade has sent an invitation letter inviting you to participate in a trade fair held at the end of the year. As he spoke, he handed over an invitation letter and documents.
For this kind of so-called trade fair invitation, Shakru can receive it almost every day, if he participates in every event, then he almost doesn't have to do anything else a day, so he just flips through this kind of thing, and then arranges a subordinate to go over for him to cheer for him, but today he just opened the invitation, and his expression immediately became very solemn.
Because the name of this trade fair is "Golden Trade Wind - 2003 India China Week", this is really the first time that a Chinese company has carried out activities in India, and it is estimated that this is also related to the official visit of Indian Prime Minister Vajpayee to China in June this year, which is the first Indian prime minister to visit China in ten years.
Since this matter is related to China, then he has to go over in person anyway, so Shakru began to look through the documents of this trade fair in detail, and finally he suddenly found that even if this trade fair has no Chinese color, he should also go, because the organizer behind this time is actually the former Finance Minister Manmohan Singh.
From 1991 to 1996, he served as finance minister in the Rao government, carried out unprecedented economic reforms, broke the shackles that constrained India's economic growth, and put India's economy on the track of rapid development, and he himself is also known as the "father of India's economic reform".
But Shakru values him not for this, if he remembers correctly, then in next year's general election, this Mr. Singh will achieve the final victory and become the new prime minister, so this kind of person's field must be praised, and having a good relationship with such a person will be of great benefit to his future business and life.
After confirming his itinerary, Shakru thought about it and called Mukesh again: "Brother, did someone from the Ministry of Commerce and Trade send you an invitation to the trade fair at the end of the year?" ”
"Well, wait for me to ask." After two minutes, Mukesh said, "Well, there is indeed such an invitation. "Obviously, this matter was not handled by Mukesh himself, but this is normal, this kind of trivial matter is usually handled by the secretary, and Shakru is also received by Priti here.
"Are you going to go to this trade fair?" Shakru asked.
Mukesh smiled dumbly and said, "Little Shakru, do you think I have time to participate in such a boring thing now?" Mukesh is telling the truth, because he is so busy with a big thing that he doesn't have the time or energy to do anything else. This big thing is nothing else, it is a fight for inheritance.
Mukesh's father, Drubhai Ambani, founded Reliance Industries, is India's largest private company that controls the direction of the country's power, oil exploration, finance, biotechnology and telecommunications sectors, as well as the country's economy.
By the time of Druby's death in July 2002, Reliance Industries had become a veritable "business empire" in India, with total assets of $16.8 billion, equivalent to 3.5 percent of India's GDP, 5 percent of annual exports, and 30 percent of the total profits of all private companies in India that year. 1 in 4 India-wide investors bought shares in the group.
In 2003, Reliance Industrial Group's oil exploration, petrochemical and other businesses were fully profitable, and its market value nearly doubled compared with 2002. At the same time, the successful implementation of the diversification strategy into the mobile communications field enabled Reliance Telecom to seize a 21% share of the Indian mobile communications market in less than a year, making a profit that year.
In the face of this inheritance of more than 30 billion US dollars, no one will not blush, and the most troublesome thing is that Drubai did not leave a word for the distribution of the inheritance when he left, so Mukesh and his younger brother Anil naturally had to start a protracted open and secret battle.
However, Shakru is very confident in Mukesh's final victory, firstly, because he knows that the final victor in the previous life is Mukesh, and secondly, the petrochemical part of the most important core industry of the Prudential Group has been firmly in the hands of Mukesh since Drubai became seriously ill, and many large oil refineries and chemical plants have been completed under his personal leadership, so controlling this piece has basically stabilized the overall situation.
So Shakru persuaded: "Brother Mukesh, I advise you that it is better to go to this trade fair, even if you don't buy anything, just show your face and cheer for it." ”
"Is there something that can't be done in this trade fair?" Mukesh asked, confused.
"There is no doorway in this trade fair, and the organizers behind it are the organizers behind it."
"Organizers? Let's see, Manmohan-Singh, he actually set it up, but what if it was him? He is not the Minister of Finance now. Mukesh said disapprehantly.
Shakru smiled and said slowly: "He is indeed not the Minister of Finance now, but he will soon be the Prime Minister of India, so do you think we should give him some face?" ”
"What? He will soon be the Prime Minister of India? How is this possible, although next year is an election year, but even if the Congress Party wins, then the prime minister should be the current chairman Sonia Gandhi, how can it be his turn? What's more, he is still a Sikh, and no Sikh has ever been a prime minister, is it good? Mukesh said in shock.
"Just because no Sikh has been prime minister before doesn't mean there won't be, and don't forget that Sonya is of Italian descent, and she can't be prime minister anyway based on that alone, as for why I have so much faith in this Mr. Lion (Singh means lion in Hindi, and three out of ten Sikhs are called Singh), don't forget my prediction skills." Shakru said eloquently.
PS: It's not easy to talk about Sonia Gandhi, a woman who was assassinated in 1984 by her mother-in-law Ing-Gandhi, and in 1991 by her husband Rah-Gandhi, after that, the entire Gandhi family relied on her to take the lead, and it wasn't until 2007 that her son Rahul-Gandhi became the president of the Congress Party, and she was relieved.
