I am a master in India

Chapter 415 Big Explosion
"Our nuclear test was a success! From today onwards, India fears no one!"

"Ah!" The bigwigs in the conference room exclaimed and stood up.

Ron was also shocked by the news; the BJP had indeed pulled off a major operation.

Everyone, whether genuinely or feigning it, became overjoyed.

A short while later, Vajpayee came over to greet them personally and announced the exciting news that thrilled all Indians once again.

Those seated in this meeting are all influential figures in the country, each one incredibly wealthy.

Unlike the few words they had just heard, this time Ron and his group learned much more detailed information.

It turns out that in May, the BJP ordered a nuclear test to be conducted underground in the desert of Rajasthan, in western India.

The person in charge of the experiment was Karam, who excitedly wrote in his diary that day, "I heard the earth rumble beneath our feet, and then the dust rose violently into the air above us. It was a beautiful sight!"

Ron and his group received the news earlier than ordinary people, which is also an effective means for the BJP to win over and intimidate its financial backers.

They felt that from this day forward, India would be different.

That wasn't all. In just a few weeks, Rajasthan conducted three nuclear tests, including the launch of a hydrogen bomb.

People sang and danced in the streets, handing out candy to celebrate the success of the three tests, while Washington and the rest of the world felt deeply uneasy.

Soon after, Barba sheep followed suit and conducted the same test explosion, where the people celebrated with an even grander spectacle.

The Indian subcontinent has become the world's most dangerous "nuclear flashpoint," despite the beginning of "normalization" in relations between the two sides.

Many of those who once believed in the moral diplomacy advocated by Hrulu after independence and opposed nuclear weapons suddenly found themselves waving the tricolor flag in celebration.

At a party, Ron talks to a turtle who claims to be a liberal.

“I do not support the BJP, but this is a very special moment in Indian history,” he said. “For the first time in over a thousand years, we have a Hindu government that has the courage to challenge the United States with nuclear tests.”

It must be said that this move by the BJP has earned it tremendous prestige among the people.

Even many neutral groups believe they have elevated India to a whole new level.

Ron didn't rush to leave New Delhi, knowing that the BJP hadn't yet "rewarded those who had contributed."

Sure enough, he soon received confirmation from Vajpayee, and Ron immediately called Uttar Pradesh.

My second uncle, Adiya, rushed over, his face beaming with excitement.

"How is it, Ron?"

“Minister of Transport,” he chuckled.

"Wow!" Adiya waved his hands repeatedly, his face flushed.

Yes, as a major financial backer, Ron transferred his second uncle to New Delhi.

Starting today, he is India's Minister of Transport, overseeing the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.

The Post Office oversees 16 post offices across India, providing services such as mail delivery, money orders, small savings, insurance, and retail services including bill collection and sales forms.

The Ministry of Telecommunications—that's the real battleground; mobile communications and fixed-line networks are its core businesses.

Which companies are in the Suer Technology Group?

India Mobile! Goldwing Telecommunications Equipment Company!

This is truly like a mouse falling into a rice jar.

Not only was Adiya extremely excited, but even Ron couldn't help but swallow hard.

If he doesn't make the most of this position, he's not Mr. Sue.

"Second Uncle, after you resigned from Lucknow, who took over your position?"

“Your cousin, Vijay,” Adiya said confidently.

“Sure, he’s been training in New Delhi for a few years, so going to Uttar Pradesh would be a good opportunity for him to put his skills into practice.”

Since the Minister of Commerce of Uttar Pradesh has been taken over by the Sur family, there's no reason for him to relinquish his position.

Political legacies can be inherited within a family; this is a generally accepted rule.

"By the way," Adiya leaned closer mysteriously, "how much did you spend on this operation in total?"

"Ten billion."

"Rupees?" Adiya gasped.

“Did you think it was US dollars?” Ron was speechless.

"I just have too much!"

"Otherwise, why would they agree so readily? This is the Minister of Transportation who controls the entire country; that money helped them take down countless competitors in the election."

"Alright, we have to earn this money back!" Adiya said fiercely.

"I'll come up with a plan first for the specific procedures."

"You need to prepare a plan before you start corruption?" Adiya was stunned.

“Vulgar! How can a businessman’s actions be called greed? I’m pushing forward India’s mobile communications project,” Ron corrected him.

“Yes, yes, just tell me what to do then.” Adiya shook his head.

"In short, it's a perfect plan. We can get the money openly and honestly, and leave people speechless."

“Wow, Ron, you’re an ambitious and corrupt official.”

"Just remember, don't take any money that's openly illicit. The Suer family doesn't need that. Our money comes from business. Corruption is the lowest form of barbarity."

"Just do it as soon as possible. If you don't use your power, it will expire."

"I'm going back to Mumbai next month, and I have some things to discuss in the next couple of days."

After rewarding those who had performed meritorious service, Ron, using the BJP's influence, met with the Chief Minister of Karnataka.

With general elections and leadership transitions underway, chief ministers from all the states have gathered in New Delhi, making it a prime time for lobbying.

Ron didn't have to do much; he simply showed the other party the Sunshine Smart City plans for Mumbai and New Delhi.

He then took him to a construction site in the southern suburbs where a large-scale development was underway, and the other party readily accepted Suer Real Estate's ambitious plans for Bangalore. The taste of power is indeed unforgettable.

With the backing of the BJP, he easily acquired thousands of acres of land in Bangalore.

That can no longer be called a business district; it should be called a "special economic zone"!
What a resounding name, just like the one from the University of Tokyo.

That's right, that's imitation.

Ron was the first to shout out this slogan, and he also made a project proposal based on the Pengcheng model.

It's basically a copy; both the BJP and the Chief Minister of Bangalore have noticed it.

But no one objected; as long as it works, who cares about the name?

The enormous success of the University of Tokyo is undeniable, and there's nothing shameful about imitating it.

Since it is a special economic zone, it is naturally subject to tax reduction and exemption policies.

This is to attract other companies to set up shop, especially foreign-invested enterprises and those in the IT industry.

The cost was enormous; just acquiring the land cost $500 million, and that was at least a half-sale, half-gift price.

The result of these raids in Mumbai, New Delhi, and Bangalore is that even a small fortune of $25 billion isn't enough.

Suer Electric Appliances' monthly profits of over 10 billion yuan, accumulated over half a year, have now all been poured into it.

He had less than $200 million in cash on hand, but luckily the bank was willing to lend him 70% of that amount; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to come up with the money to develop the land.

This is one of the benefits of the BJP coming to power: by leveraging their connections, many state-owned banks can easily issue loans.

The Asian financial crisis is not over yet, so it is quite remarkable that Suer Real Estate can receive such treatment.

Ron had read detailed information about the entire project and even flew over to New Delhi to take a look before coming here.

That area was originally farmland near a lake, also in the suburbs, and had a nice landscape.

Ron liked the feeling of drawing on a blank canvas, without having to worry about the surrounding buildings or the annoying demolition process.

Sunshine Smart City's project in South Mumbai has recently been plagued with problems.

That was the old town area, with a huge number of residents. Even though Suer Real Estate provided compensation, some people still threatened suicide.

Having lived in Mumbai for so many years, they are all incredibly cunning, only interested in making more money.

That is, Mumbai. In other rural areas, those unruly people would have been physically wiped out long ago.

It was only after Ron called Johnny that things were mostly resolved.

Gangs always have a way of dealing with these kinds of people.

Having learned from this experience, Ron now prefers the suburbs of New Delhi and Bangalore.

Both of these major projects have very long construction periods, with New Delhi's Sunshine Smart City expected to be operational by the turn of the millennium.

The construction of the Bangalore Special Economic Zone is being carried out in phases, with the earliest phase scheduled for two years later, but full completion may take five years.

Ron had given away almost all his money, leaving only basic working capital.

The new century is approaching, and all industries are booming. He is doing everything he can to seize the opportunity.

He lacks the foundation of Tata and Reliance, and can only use these large projects to make up for the gap between them.

Ports, real estate, energy, telecommunications, and consumer electronics – these are all sectors where you can expect to do well.

All he lacks is time; the millennium will be the opportunity for him to take off.

In the last few days of May, Ron began to frequently meet with the Great Sage and other high-ranking members of the Indian Party.

After the BJP came to power in New Delhi, other states began to stir.

The most conspicuous are Gujarat and Tamil, which unfortunately both have ties to Ron.

The Haigwara in Gujarat was originally a faction of the BJP, but later defected and joined the Congress Party.

He's still sitting in the Chief Minister's position, and the BJP will never be satisfied until he's removed.

So the question is, who will take over after Haigwara steps down?

Ron chose the immortal without hesitation, having invested a lot of resources in him over the years.

It's been featured a lot on TV and in newspapers in New Delhi.

The exposure rate of the "Great Immortal" is much higher now than in the past, and his status within the Party has also significantly improved.

Most importantly, with Ron as a major financial backer, the Indian Party didn't hesitate for long before accepting this choice.

The sage was already favored by the current president, Leva Pajai, and in recent years, as the party secretary in New Delhi, he has also made many connections with BJP officials.

Many people spoke in his defense when he was appointed Chief Minister of Gujarat.

Of course, the process won't be that simple. After all, he is the Chief Minister of the state, so there will be plenty of speeches and rallies.

The master is currently gathering people to prepare to return to Gujarat.

However, before leaving, Ron spoke to him alone.

"How can you attend a rally without making a name for yourself?"

"What?" The immortal was puzzled.

"Here you go." He handed over a card with something written in English.

"This is…"

"My newly purchased helicopter is at your disposal for the next two months, and it can go anywhere."

“Ron…” The immortal suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

“The roads in the rural areas of Gujarapang are difficult to travel, so having a helicopter would be much more convenient. I specifically hired a foreign crew, who are very reliable.”

"Come find me after the situation in Gujarat stabilizes," the Great Immortal said solemnly.

“Okay!” Ron nodded with a smile.
