Chapter 265 The Avengers

Stockings in the left hand, gunpowder in the right.

That was the Du Pont family during the First World War.

This family, which has been prosperous for more than 200 years, is really scary if you get into it.

Everyone knows that the ownership of the atomic bomb belongs to the United States, but no one knows that the intellectual property rights of the atomic bomb are owned by DuPont Military Industries. Every atomic bomb in the United States needs to pay DuPont Military Industries.

From medical chemistry to plastic bags, even the layer of packaging material outside the wires needs to be paid to DuPont Chemicals.

Nearly 1.7 main categories allow DuPont Chemical to penetrate into every corner of life.

But DuPont also has its shortcoming, which is the financial field.

It's not that he doesn't have it, or that he doesn't have money, but that no one allows such a giant without shortcomings to appear.

This is why Tao Xi dared to harden DuPont.

But Jared DuPont, who stayed where he was, was stunned.

Chevrolet is famous enough in the GM system, but the priority of Chevrolet is not very high within the DuPont Group, otherwise a seventh-generation child would not be allowed to manage this.

According to the normal inheritance sequence, he is already an outcast in the family.

If he doesn't have any outstanding achievements in the next ten years, he may be like those uncles, relying on the family fund to live and dream, and get the management authority of a certain branch company.

Jared DuPont is certainly not reconciled.

But he had no way to represent DuPont Chemical and Tao Xi to have the capital to negotiate. He who was still a little happy could not help but fell into deep thought.

It seems that there is only one Murdoch among his allies, and it is not enough to make Taoxi feel nervous!
The Mumbai Grand Hotel far away in Mumbai started the first appreciation banquet belonging to [Panama Commercial Insurance Group] as scheduled.

"It's hard to believe that you can let Ratan Tata go to the United States to negotiate business in person!"

Tao Xi, who looked tired, lay on the sofa and calmly shook the red wine glass in his hand and replied: "If the technology of special steel doesn't interest him, then have I been fooling around all these years?"

Modi smiled and said nothing, but waited for the group of old men from the Tata Group to arrive.

"You showed up at the banquet tonight, and the conflict between you and the Tata Group has intensified! Aren't you worried?"

Tao Xi raised his eyebrows and asked arrogantly: "Oh, afraid? Is it because I am afraid that I have such a big deal?"

The major directors of the Tata Group who had already been present looked at each other in blank dismay, and even some directors who were unwilling to cause trouble even moved their minds to leave here.

"If everyone is here, I believe we will still have a chance to be friends in the future!"

"But if you leave here, you are either my enemy or my opponent." Modi deliberately turned his face to one side and showed the back of his head to the directors of the Tata Group in a daze.

"Haha, Morty! Don't be so fierce!"

"These old guys are the backbone of the Tata Group, and they are actually victims too!"

"They certainly don't know that the consulting firms that Ratan Tata hired with their money were discussing with him how to drive them out of the management of the Tata Group."

The black and white faces of the two of them sang and harmonized like this made the big shots present stunned for a while.

"What evidence do you have!"

"That's right! We can't just listen to what you say!"

Although the group of directors were old, they were not fools, and there was even a place where Ratan Tata's people slammed the door angrily and left.

Moody wasn't worried at all.

A familiar voice sounded.

【"Oh? Are you talking about reorganizing the Tata Steel Group?"】

This recording has just been released, and several of the shareholders below have a lot of ugly faces.

【"Yes! Now all the profit points of the Tata Group are in real estate and steel, and the holdings of many subsidiaries do not make them absolutely convinced of me. I need an opportunity!"】

As soon as Latan Tata's voice came out, one of the shareholders couldn't suppress his anger: "Ladan is a traitor, I helped him back then."

【"Tata Steel Group has outdated equipment and too many personnel. Although you have laid off 3 people, it is not enough."

"Well, don't worry, Modi has stepped down. I just rejected the investment from Panama Commercial Bank. If they don't parachute to the Tata Group, I think there should be no problem in doing these things!"]

Morty saw the time was ripe.

He stood up and wobbled to the side of the stereo and pulled out the recording pen on it.

All the shareholders looked at the recording pen in Modi's hand and instantly fell silent, while Tao Xi, who had been silent for a long time, took out a document file from under his feet and sent a document to each shareholder.

"Dear esteemed shareholders of the Tata Group, it is a pleasure to meet you."

"Actually, Panama Commercial Bank, as a comprehensive investment bank, is very optimistic about the industry in your hands, but what Ratan Tata said is the problem of the Tata Group now!"

When Modi heard Tao Xi said this, he immediately took over the question: "But! I will not do the same thing as Radan Tata."

"If I were to come to power, I would integrate all the scattered forces of the Tata Group into my hands, and set up a comprehensive foundation in India!"

Immediately, one of the directors understood the meaning of Modi's words: "Then what is the difference between what you and Ratan Tata do!"

"Don't worry!"

"Mr. Tao Xi will invest in the equity replacement of the shares in the hands of everyone here!"

"After you get a generous principal, you can still get shares in this foundation. Everyone here is getting old. It's time for you to think about your future generations."

"And Panama Commercial Bank has many excellent assets internationally, such as this [Iraq refined oil purchase contract with 8% discount] in my hand!"

"The term of the contract is ten years, and this contract will be placed under the name of this foundation, and all the directors here will share the profits."

Modi's words are very deceptive.

But Tao Xi didn't take it seriously, because the United States' military operations against Iraq were almost a certainty, and Tao Xi really didn't think Iraq could withstand the US attack.

As a defeated country, Iraq will hardly have the right to use the oil in its territory at that time.

You must know that among the top ten oil-poor countries in the world, India ranks third, and the consequent consequence is that the largest oil factories in India are all owned by the United Kingdom and the United States.

This [Refined Oil Agreement] is enough to tempt those old fellows, who wouldn't be tempted by the energy business?
When Tao Xi saw that the atmosphere was basically the same, he went to the door and called a lot of financial personnel in.

"Okay, now that Mr. Moody has made it very clear."

"I'm going to cut to the chase. If you are interested in the local Indian foundation I am talking about, you can sign a letter of intent for equity acquisition with me."

"And what you can get is a copy of the [Refined Oil Agreement] in my hand."

"You can go to OPEC to check the authenticity of this refined oil agreement at any time!"

an hour later

Standing beside Tao Xi, Modi looked enviously at the letter of intent worth 30 billion U.S. dollars in his hand.

But Tao Xi has some regrets, because the Tata Group in this period is far less powerful than what the radio said. It only monopolizes the three industries of textile, steel and tea in India.

As for the three industries of construction, hotel, and automobile, in Tao Xi's eyes, they are only qualified.

"The support of 27 shareholders and 4 bureau members is enough for you to wrestle with Rattan Tata."

Modi smiled and nodded: "I want 10% of the shares of the Indian Sunshine Foundation!"

"Yes! The premise is to let me see your value. This is the first time I help you, and it is also the last time I help you. If the next time I wait for me to play, I hope it will be when I am dealing with the negative assets of the Tata Group .”

Morty nodded and left.

But Ratan Tata, who just woke up in the hotel, received a call from his secretary.

"Boss, Modi took advantage of your absence to get rid of 1/3 of the shareholders in the group, and there are 3 members of the presidium who are on his side."

When Ratan Tata heard this sentence, he immediately understood that he was fooled!
"Are they trying to get me out?"

"Here is the strange thing. After Modi got the support of those people, he did not initiate the matter of getting you out of office. Instead, he was actively contacting other members of the presidium to carry out internal reforms of the Tata Group."

"Um"

Ratan Tata, who was silent for a moment, asked, "What are Modi's reform measures?"

"Separate traditional industries from emerging industries. Listening to those directors, Modi seems to want to be a director of emerging companies, and you should be a director of traditional industries."

Ratan Tata looked in a hurry as he left the hotel.

When he arrived at the Los Angeles Airport with a hurried expression on his face, a general commercial vehicle crossed in front of him.

Just when Ratan Tata was about to go around, Jared Dupont, who got off the business car, stopped him: "Mr. Tata, I think we can have a good chat. After all, the enemy of the enemy is the friend." It still makes sense."

Ratan Tata, who stopped in his tracks, looked back.

"Hello, my name is Jared DuPont, the general manager of Chevrolet, the seventh generation successor of DuPont Chemical!"

"Why don't we talk in another place?"

"There is another old guy who is also very interested in the Tata Group. Maybe he can help you a lot in terms of media and public opinion."

After hesitating for a moment, Latan Tata handed over his suitcase to his subordinates and got into the commercial vehicle and left.

An Avengers alliance revolving around Jared DuPont was quietly established.

Another behemoth is slowly devouring the insurance market belonging to India in the dark.

"As of now, the number of our life insurance participants has exceeded 70, and it is expected that our number will exceed 140 million next month!"

Tao Xi looked at the financial report that Georgina handed over to him and nodded in satisfaction.

"The progress is very good, but all the funds of the Panama Commercial Bank have been locked."

"For the acquisition of Tata Group's shares, you still need to work harder. The funding gap is not very big, and there are still about 11 billion US dollars!"

Georgina nodded seriously when she heard Tao Xi's answer.

"In fact, don't limit life insurance too much. Auto insurance and work-related injury insurance can also be launched online. Try to eat as much of the Indian local insurance market as possible."

"I heard that the Indian government may gradually open up the market recently, and we will be under a lot of pressure at that time."

Georgina carefully recorded Tao Xi's words with a pen and paper, but Tao Xi scratched the back of his head and looked at an Indian employee outside the office holding a pager with his head down, not knowing what he was fiddling with.

"Sigh~"

"Is private operation allowed in India's communications market?"

Georgina followed Tao Xi's line of sight and instantly understood: "It may indeed be as you said, the private economy is a little loose, because the communication costs of mobile phones are very high, and many small paging stations have been established nearby."

Hearing this, Tao Xi snapped his fingers proudly.

"Help me make an appointment with a high-level Indian government recently. Forget it, I'll go and communicate with Charles."

Georgina heard that Tao Xi mentioned Charles, and hurriedly submitted a financial report on "Prince Charles Fund Insurance".

Tao Xi saw it compared with Japan.

It has been three months since the immigrant insurance business, which is quite different, has attracted a list of less than 1700 people. I couldn't help shaking my head helplessly.

Japan's aging population and perfect welfare benefits are really not comparable to India.

If it weren't for the event Tao Xi helped Monica plan in the Middle East, this group of Indians might not have realized the importance of insurance to them.

But a small island of 1700 people should be able to barely deal with Charles.

Tao Xi, who has learned a lot of information from the radio, learned that India's communication market will develop greatly in the next ten years, and India will become the second largest communication market in the world in the future.

If the timing is right, Tao Xi may also build a few mobile phones for fun after occupying the Indian communication market.

Just when Tao Xi was still thinking about how to communicate with Charles.

A phone call from across the ocean disrupted all of Tao Xi's plans.

"Tausi! Tata Group, Chevrolet Motors under General Motors, and Murdoch have jointly invested in a company. Although no one outside knows their plan, these three people have joined together."

Old West didn't know where he got the news.

If these three people are fighting independently, he can deal with it well, but if these three people are united, his situation may not be so good.

This is a three-front battle.

The United States, the United Kingdom, and India, one capital, one media, and one industry, the combination of these three people is not just a 1+1+1 effect.

"I still underestimate the Dupont family."

"I advise you to come back and think about countermeasures. The [Australian] under News Corp. is like a mad dog constantly picking on the Neil Group."

"If you didn't say it, don't talk to him, I will definitely let the legal department sue him!"

Tao Xi, who was silent for a moment, said: "Okay! Wait for me to go back. Since it has already happened, let's deal with it one by one!"
