Start with hooves

After sending Miss Baani away.

More than ten hours later, with her assistance, Suri and Mr. Baani had an online communication that lasted for more than an hour.

It may take two or three hours for others to "talk casually". For Suri, this is a rare long meeting.

It can be seen that the richest man in Asia does not have much interest in the asset management business.

But with "co-founding an Internet company" as a bargaining chip, the other party was still willing to help matchmaking and invited Suri to visit New Delhi.

You don’t know if you don’t ask, but Su Rui discovered during the communication that Mr. Baani graduated from Stanford Business School and was his old senior.

With this relationship and the common interests in business, the communication period was naturally smooth.

Although some cities in India are the "software capital of the world", their own Internet industry is not very developed. There are products from Silicon Valley that can replace them. In many aspects, there is no need for independent development.

Companies like China Penguin, Alibaba, etc., mainly because of the existence of the "wall", have been able to develop and grow smoothly, avoiding the complete collapse like other markets in Europe, South America, Asia, etc.

In order to capture the South Asian market, before the video conference, Suri specially sent people to study relevant information and found that Silicon Valley did not pay enough attention to India, such as social platforms, online shopping, mobile payments, review ticket purchases, etc., and there was no dedicated Customized for India.

If combined with the actual situation of the local market and Mr. Baani's huge influence in the local area, it seems that there is a chance to successfully incubate several products.

Since this is a big business worth tens of billions of dollars, it deserves Suri to put a little thought into it.

But it was only "a little bit". In the process of starting a business, Mr. Baani mainly relied on help. It was difficult for Suri to take the lead. During the preliminary negotiation process, he only held 40% of the equity share. The specific situation remains to be seen.

When the time comes, people will get a share here and people there will get a share. If it is successfully hatched and can still account for more than 30% of the shares, Suri will be thankful.

A business like this, which involves making wedding clothes for others to a large extent, can only allow him to be a consultant at best. It is not worth investing 100% of his time and energy. It is completely different from Dongjing Mall.

The video conference just ended.

Jiang Jiaya, who was responsible for recording on the side, rubbed her sore wrist and asked curiously:

"Didn't you say that the market is a scam? Why did you agree to invest 200 million US dollars in start-up capital? Aren't you afraid that someone will take advantage of you and then kick you away? Even the law can be improvised and used to investigate previous problems. , this approach is too weird.”

Su Rui first turned off the power of the computer, then smiled, shook his head and said:

"Actually... that would be better. When the time comes, I will promote it globally and make money from India and spend money in India. I want to take it home with me. I will also call it the cemetery of foreign companies and shout it out so that people in the primitive tribes in Africa will know it." It would be best for all multinational companies not to dare to invest in it, which would completely ruin its development for at least half a century. It can be said that I am in Caoying and my heart is in Han, making contributions to my compatriots in my hometown."

Third Brother’s side is relatively rich in resources and its labor force is young and cheap. It does have the opportunity to become a competitor to the mainland.

But if foreign companies dare not invest, no matter how abundant the resources are and how cheap the labor force is, it will be in vain.

While these aspects are important, a sound business environment, preferential tax policies, abundant water and electricity, convenient transportation, etc. are also particularly important to investors.

Just because they cannot take away profits and may be unreasonably suppressed, the third brother loses the opportunity to compete with the mainland.

To some extent, mainland residents should be grateful to the oligarchs on the Third Brother side.

If they hadn't prevented others from taking away the benefits for their own benefit, without looking at the overall situation, tens of millions of jobs in the country might have been lost.

After all, Third Brother is close to Europe and the United States, and multinational companies are willing to invest and set up factories there. This will affect the economic development of the mainland and cause many people to lose their jobs.

Suri knew the crux of the matter, but he would never say it publicly.

After listening to what he said. Jiang Jiaya thought about it for a while and figured out the key to the problem, and said with a smile:

"You say such vicious words in a light tone. You are indeed different from before. You didn't think about this before. You were lazy every day."

Suri replied:

"When it's time to use your brain, you still have to use it, otherwise it will get rusty. I can't be fooled and say good things for them. In fact, I hope they lose their credibility internationally for this small profit."

Personal credibility is important, but the country's credibility is even more important.

The reason why Suri is focused on transferring assets outside the United States is to plan for the long-term future.

As one of the richest people in the world, Suri doesn't want to be targeted.

And considering that I will be very, very rich in the future and can easily be criticized, the possibility of facing risks is extremely high.

When he thought that one day in the future, he might face the same fate as the Russian rich because he stored most of his assets in Europe and the United States. His yachts, mansions, deposits, shares, etc. would be confiscated and frozen, which made him restless and a pain in his back.

This prompted Suri to give up some benefits and consider safety in advance.

For example, investing in shares of Penguin Group and two unfinished projects in Dubai was far inferior to directly investing in stocks of Apple, Nvidia and other companies in terms of return, so he still chose to take action.

Su Rui shook his head and said to Jiang Jiaya:

"How can this be called evil? Take the train problem where ten people are lying on one side and one person is lying on the other side. Although I don't know why they are stupid enough to lie on the railroad tracks, but if there are your mother on one side and ten strangers on the other side, Are you going to send your mother to the West just to save ten strangers?"

"...My mother would not lie on the railroad tracks, and the train problem is full of strangers, otherwise it wouldn't be a problem, and normal people would choose to save their own mother."

Jiang Jiaya understood what Su Rui meant.

Since the number of job opportunities and investment projects is limited, it is obviously better to let his own people get them. This explains why Suri has invested the most money in China besides the United States.

She continued:

"I guess I was wrong. You should be smart. When I was a kid, I lived in Chinatown. Why didn't I see how kind you were to your compatriots? Why did you always say that their parents were stupid?"

When talking about this topic, Suri couldn't help being happy and told:

"They gave up an emerging market where they could get rich and came here to work as coolies. Aren't they stupid? There are also people who sold courtyard houses in the capital and old houses in Shanghai and raised money for traveling expenses. Go and check these houses yourself. How much is it worth now.”

Jiang Jiaya was a person who listened to advice, so she did the investigation when asked.

You won’t know it if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it. Last year, an old bungalow was sold for a full 1000 million US dollars.

Although other houses are not so expensive, the properties that could raise funds to immigrate to the United States in the 1990s are definitely not cheap now, and the landlord can make a fortune just by sitting at home without having to do anything.

Looking at it this way, it is indeed quite silly.

Despite the high wages in the United States, it is not easy to save money. Only half of the families in Los Angeles own their own houses, and many of them are very remote, old and not valuable.

She continued:

"Look at it this way, the location of your new hotel is very good, and the purchase price of more than 200 million US dollars doesn't seem too expensive..." (End of Chapter)
