Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 482 Taking advantage of the situation
The land transfer in Mumbai city has attracted countless people's attention.

Especially the news media are very positive.

Because almost all the major real estate development companies in India are gathered here, everyone has been hyping up the matter in the news media, claiming that their company will acquire the land at any cost and then build another landmark project in Mumbai on this land.

In addition to these, the area and unit price of the land to be transferred this time will be the highest in India's land transfer history. I just don't know what this historic price will be, and everyone is very curious.

Cyrus was present in person.

"Boss, Sori is there." The assistant whispered in Cyrus' ear.

Cyrus looked in the direction his assistant pointed and saw Sori coming with his men.

They were positioned far apart, and Sori didn't notice Cyrus.

"Hmph, pay more attention to him." Cyrus said.

He didn't care about Sori. The small country businessman was just a dog under Rotten.

In the past, he would not even look at such a small person.

However, he also knew that as a civil servant, it would be inappropriate for Roton to get involved in business affairs.

He is now targeting Sori, which means he is targeting Rotten.

It is difficult to completely let go of the grudge between him and Rotun.

Of course, there won’t be any noise on the surface, but there will still be secret struggles.

"Boss, don't worry. They have raised a lot of funds, but it's far less than what we have." The assistant whispered.

In order to take over this land, Cyrus made various preparations.

In addition to various ways of raising funds, such as from banks, he also sought loans from many financial companies. Although the interest rate was much higher than that from banks, Cyrus did not think it was a big problem at this time.

As long as we take over this piece of land, we will make greater profits in the future.

This is for myself, and I also collect various information for external parties.

He must be aware of the funding situation of some of the main opponents identified by Cyrus.

Sori's side is the most important one.

Only after understanding the opponent's situation can we make more advantageous countermeasures.

This is the battlefield of the business world, and there is no room for carelessness.

If you are careless, you may end up in trouble and suffer heavy losses.

Cyrus smiled. He was still very confident about the amount of funds he raised this time.

None of the opponents present had more funds than he did.

I have to say that this time, borrowing money from those financial institutions was relatively smooth.

Not only was there some favorable interest rates, but the most important thing was that he was a little surprised by the amount of money they borrowed, which was much more than he expected.

Cyrus didn't think much about it. In his opinion, this was the foundation of his Mistry family.

If you can borrow money, why not?
Even if it cannot be used up in this project, it can be used in other projects.

For example, continue to acquire land. In short, the scale must be increased so that we can have greater influence.

He wanted to develop SP Group's real estate development business and let the people at Tata Group see that Cyrus could do his best in everything he did.

Their removal was the biggest mistake and the biggest loss for the Tata Group.

……

"Very good." Rotten put down the newspaper and smiled at Sori opposite him.

There is a very detailed report in the newspaper about yesterday's land auction in downtown Mumbai.

However, Roton had actually watched the live broadcast yesterday.

I know how fierce the bidding was at that time.

After hundreds of rounds of competition, it was finally won by Cyrus at an extremely high price, setting a record for land transfer in India, including unit price and total price.

It was Sori who fought Cyrus to the end.

At the beginning, all the major bidding companies were very active, but as the bids continued to increase, other companies withdrew one after another, and in the end, only Sori and Cyrus were left competing.

"Every time I made an offer later, I felt a little nervous. What if Cyrus gave up?" Sori said.

Thinking of the exciting moment yesterday, he still felt a lingering fear.

The land prices at that time were already extremely high, a price that had never been seen in Indian history.

It even exceeded his expectations.

His purpose was not to take over the land, but to create trouble for Cyrus, to raise the land price as much as possible, and to make it more expensive for Cyrus to get the land.

If Cyrus thinks the land price is too high and gives up, then this piece of land will be taken by me, which is not my original intention.

Therefore, Sori was still a little worried about the bidding price at that time, fearing that Cyrus would suddenly give up and stop bidding.

Fortunately, the result was good, and Cyrus really went all the way.

In the end, of course, they gave up very reluctantly, which made Cyrus extremely proud.

"If Cyrus gives up, it doesn't matter. It's okay as long as we take the land." Rotten said with a smile.

"But didn't you say that we can't make large-scale investments?" Rotun's words made Sori very confused.

The Bombay Garden Scheme has been terminated, so what is the point of acquiring this land?
Moreover, with Cyrus raising the price in various ways, the cost of acquiring it was already very high.

"If we don't invest, can't we transfer it?" Roton said with a smile. "Even if we acquire the land, we can find some partners to split up the majority of the shares, or even transfer all of it. I believe this land is still very attractive, so it should be easy to find someone to transfer it to."

Sori was stunned for a moment. Yes, he found that he was getting too stuck in a rut.

Since the amount of land auction this time is very large, many companies actually conducted the bidding in the form of a joint auction.

It means two or more real estate companies jointly bidding.

These companies are relatively weaker and have less funding, so only by joining forces can they ensure sufficient bidding funds.

There are only a few families like Sori and Sellers who can raise large amounts of funds.

So, if Sori really wants to take over this land, he can still find some partners.

This is to share the risk, so the investment risk will not be so great then.

Since this is a piece of land recognized by everyone as high-quality, when the time comes to transfer it, I will definitely not lose money. At least I can break even, or even make some money.

So, my previous worries were a bit unnecessary.

"Speaking of this, for the projects currently under construction, we should recover the funds as soon as possible. If some projects cannot be completed in the next few years, we can transfer some shares or even the entire project." Luoton added.

"If this happens, will Cyrus think there's something wrong with us?" Sori asked.

"You announced to the public that the purpose of recovering funds was to acquire more land." Roton said with a smile.

Sori thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. Cyrus shouldn't be suspicious."

"Of course, you can actually get the land, it's not just talk." Roton said with a smile.

"This?" Sori was confused by Rotten's words again. Isn't this another big investment?

"I don't think Cyrus will just sit there and watch if you go get the land, right?" Roton chuckled. "From what I've seen so far, Cyrus has his eye on me. He wants a hand in every project I want. If he can, he'll grab it. If he can't, he'll drive up the price," Sori said.

"Let him come. If the price of these lands is right, you can take them. If it exceeds your expectations, give them to Cyrus. I want to see how much money he has available." Rotten said with a smile.

Due to the government's tightening policies on real estate development, land prices have actually dropped significantly recently.

After all, there are not many real estate developers with strong financial resources like Sori. Once banks tighten their loans, it will have a huge impact on the funds of these real estate companies.

So, among these land auctions, there are still some relatively high-quality ones.

Of course, the so-called quality also requires a long time to observe.

In the next few years, especially during the epidemic, the prices of these lands will definitely not increase, but will fall.

Only after the epidemic is over can land prices increase substantially.

In general, real estate prices in India are still rising. The land acquired by Sori will also be in major cities in India. Only these places have enough wealthy people.

These places are high-quality lands, and only then can high profits be generated by building luxurious communities in the future.

In addition to the opportunity to hoard some land, it was also to consume Cyrus's funds and allow him to borrow more money.

The more money Cyrus spends, the worse off he will be during the epidemic.

Since Cyrus was targeting his side, Rotun was taking advantage of the situation and letting him come to compete and cause trouble.

For Roton, if he can get the land next time, he will take it. If Cyrus offers a higher price, he will give it to him.

It will be very difficult to transfer the land in the next few years.

No one will take over unless you break a bone.

Rodon did this to make Cyrus suffer huge losses so that he could acquire the Tata Group shares held by the Mistry family.

"I see." Sori said.

He didn't know why Rotun did this, but no matter how confused he was, he still firmly believed in Rotun.

Everything he has now is because of Rotun. Without Rotun, he would still be a small businessman with a little money and a little fame in the local area.

It’s not like now, when he was the top figure in Mumbai.

Looking at Rotun's success, he had no doubt about Rotun's words.

As long as we follow Rotun's orders, we will definitely be right.

The time came to 2019, and Luoton started to get busy.

In fact, this busyness is relative.

Whenever there is something going on, it is usually the people below who handle it.

Given Rotten's status and position, there are basically very few things that require him to personally handle, unless they are some major cases.

2019 is the year of India’s five-year general election.

The election date has been set. It will start on April 2019, 4 and end on May 11. The entire voting process will take 5 days. It will be a long battle.

This isn't just true for politicians, it's also true for the police.

Every election is a very chaotic time.

There were quite a few people causing trouble.

Many of these troublemakers are orchestrated by electoral parties, who want to suppress their opponents by contacting local gangs and launching various attacks. These attacks are not just in the form of public opinion, but may also include personal attacks, physical disappearances, etc.

In addition, people are needed to maintain order at the election site, the ballot boxes, etc.

Many of these tasks fall on the police.

Although there are a lot of police officers in India, many of them are used to protect politicians and some senior civil servants, so the police force that can be mobilized is very limited.

For a big city like Mumbai, it's still okay.

But when something like a general election happens, a lot of police force has to be deployed all at once, which makes maintaining law and order in other areas of Mumbai very stressful.

This is after Rodon became the Commissioner of the Mumbai Police Department, and the public security in Mumbai has improved a lot.

Otherwise, Mumbai would become much more turbulent during the general election.

This turmoil is foreseeable because all major political parties have reached the final stage of canvassing for votes and may use all kinds of means.

If Mumbai is relatively stable, other parts of India are in chaos.

Various acts of vandalism and looting have occurred, causing chaos and many casualties.

During the election, Rawdon's nerves would also be tense, and he didn't want to cause any big trouble.

He doesn't care what happens in other places, Mumbai must remain stable.

"Well, the situation should be much clearer now, right?" Roton said into the phone.

The call came from Vides.

"Based on our current surveys, the People's Party has a significant advantage, and its popularity is even greater than in the last election," Vides replied. "Well, before, everyone said the People's Party had a good chance, but now the situation is indeed clearer. I dare say the People's Party is a sure winner."

Although the Central Bureau of Investigation is outnumbered by the Enforcement Bureau, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

The Central Bureau of Investigation still has its own advantages, that is, it is far stronger than the Enforcement Bureau in terms of information and intelligence collection.

Although the law enforcement bureau has expanded its staff, Powede basically uses these people to arrest people, attack opponents, etc.

If you want to make progress in intelligence gathering and other areas, it will not take just one or two years to produce results.

The Central Bureau of Investigation has been able to place various spies in various departments thanks to its strong position over the years and the efforts of successive directors.

If the BJP wins, the Enforcement Directorate's position will be more secure and its power will be increased.

Vides certainly doesn't want to see this situation.

Judging from the feedback from all sides now, this result is basically unchangeable.

In other words, the Central Bureau of Investigation will have an even harder time during the second term of the BJP.

"Then let's prepare for this outcome," Rawdon sighed. "It's always better to prepare early."

"Since we listened to your advice, the Central Bureau of Investigation has been much more low-key. The problem is that bastard Powede keeps causing trouble for us from time to time. It's really hateful." Vides cursed Powede.

Bowede is becoming more and more proud now. The low-key concession from the Central Bureau of Investigation has further fueled his arrogance.

From time to time, it would cause some trouble for the CBI and disgust Vides.

This can be regarded as a form of targeting and revenge by Bowede.

For this, Vides could only endure it for the most part.

After all, the Enforcement Bureau now has the capital to be so arrogant, and the Central Bureau of Investigation wants to fight back, but it is somewhat powerless.

"Let's not talk about these annoying things, brother. There is a piece of news that you should be interested in." Vides said again.

"What news?" Rawdon asked curiously.

The CBI is well-informed, and when Rotun contacts Vides, he also intends to ask Vides for some information.

"That guy Cyrus donated a lot of money to the Congress Party this time," said Vides.
