Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 2690 Tata Company

From this we can see that rulers will use every possible means to maintain their rule, and religion is naturally one of their means.

Although the racial system was later abolished, how could something that was so deeply rooted in a country be so simple?

Coupled with a series of reasons such as the already formed class stratification, these high caste people still dominate the country.

Although some of the lower-class children were selected because of their excellence, so what? They would soon understand the meaning of class solidification.

In fact, this is true in any country, where a minority of people own most of the wealth, while the majority of people become tools.

They were helpless but willing to be enslaved by others, and then happily fought for the so-called democracy and freedom.

This has been the development model of human society till now.

Along the way, most of the people were quite friendly, and from time to time someone would greet us warmly.

Especially the street vendors, who look generous and invite you to taste their goods.

Several people also tried these appropriately, and even Yang Geyong became cautious. There was no other way, as he had learned a lot of lessons from Nepal.

The city population here has obviously increased, and the streets are relatively narrow, so cars drive very slowly.

In fact, this country is not as dirty and messy as described by the media. The dirty places are just some slums.

There are many high-end communities here, as well as tall modern buildings.

A few people just couldn't adapt to the diet, and their favorite food was to eat pancakes dipped in a paste made of various beans and vegetables.

And there is a very strange phenomenon here. Almost 40% of people do not eat meat. Some are so particular that they don't even eat eggs.

They only eat vegetables, pasta and rice, and I don’t know how they ensure their nutritional supply?

Ye Yuze and a few others also tried to go to their vegetarian restaurant.

However, these people are carnivores. No matter how colorful the food they made, they still couldn't swallow it and had to give up.

Also, Hindus do not eat beef. Cows are gods here, so they have to look for meat if they want to eat it.

Ye Yuze can understand people who selectively eat meat, but Yang Geyong simply cannot understand why there are still people who do not eat meat? Is there any meaning in life without eating meat?

New Delhi is not far from Nepal and is close to the north of India, so they arrived there in a few days.

Erhong and the others had already booked a room, but what surprised Ye Yuze and the others was that they were greeted by a group of officials.

After Erhong explained, they realized that their identities were known and officials had come forward to see if they could attract some investment.

This is true in every country. People's livelihood is the foundation. Once the ruler makes people's lives miserable, he will not be far from stepping down.

The population of India is currently no less than that of China, but its area is only 298 million square kilometers.

It is naturally a very difficult task to feed such a large population with such an area.

Fortunately, most of their land is plains, very suitable for farming. They have vast plains and arable land areas and can accommodate such a large population.

For example, the Gangetic Plain and the Indus Plain are the eighth and seventh largest plains in the world, respectively.

With the development of global integration, ordinary people are no longer satisfied with just having enough food to eat.

To satisfy more desires, the only way is to develop the economy, but this country has a weak foundation, so it can only rely on attracting foreign investment.

Nowadays, many foreign-funded enterprises have settled here, including the newly settled Junken Supermarket and several branches of Warrior Steel.

Now that the former CEO of Warrior Group has come here, how could they not fight for it?

I have to say that this group of people were very rational. They did not start to support Ye Yuze and his party as soon as they entered the country. Instead, they waited patiently until they arrived before coming out to receive them.

After figuring out the situation, Ye Yuze became indifferent. He just didn't like to show up in public. As the CEO of a world-famous company, he had to give some face wherever he went.

The reception was of a very high standard, but there were too few dishes. Ye Yuze couldn't understand why they always couldn't figure out why they served staple foods as dishes.

Later I thought about it and felt relieved. There were not many dishes to begin with, so we had to make up for the number, right?

Among the people who received them were two representatives from Tata Company. To be honest, Ye Yuze admired them quite a lot.

Because Tata is one of the few test brands that does not use the Warrior engine.

But it’s not because they have better engines, but because people here have lower requirements.

For example, they have several models that don’t even have air conditioning and are as simple as a tricycle.

To be honest, it would be impossible for the Warrior Group to compete with them because the costs have been reduced to the lowest level.

If the wood board wasn't so fragile, they would probably dare to use wood for the car shell. The main point is that it's cheap.

There is no way around this. Most of the cars they produce nowadays are joint venture cars, and they basically have no technology of their own.

As the only independent brand, it is completely maintained by cost and selling sentiment. This is also the reason why they approached Ye Yuze.

The cars produced by Warrior Automobile Nepal Branch are very popular in northern India. They have strong horsepower, are durable and are reasonably priced.

Ye Yuze did not express any investment intention, and this matter was not his responsibility.

The main reason was that he heard from Wei Yuxiang that although they were very diligent in soliciting investment, they would encounter many problems once they built a factory.

For example, there is insufficient electricity supply, some wrangling with the government, and poor labor discipline among the workers. Once a commotion breaks out, they side with their own people.

When these problems accumulate, they become big problems.

After all, the real economy is based on cost calculation. Once consumption exceeds the limit, profits will be gone.

Wei Yuxiang's final solution to the problem was to hire all local people, let them handle all matters, pay them higher wages, and stimulate their sense of being the protagonists.

You know what, this method actually works and obviously reduces a lot of trouble.

As long as the main technical personnel are our own, the steel produced here are ordinary products anyway.

If you want to buy special materials, you can only get them in Junken City. This is the bottom line.

Wei Yuxiang is already very familiar with doing these things and can handle them with ease everywhere, which is why the soldiers' steel is everywhere.

Naturally, no substantive issues were discussed at the banquet. Ye Yuze understood that this was the official support for Tata so that it would have some bargaining chips in the subsequent negotiations.

Otherwise, what can a manufacturer without any technology bring to the table to discuss cooperation with Warrior Auto? Naturally, the only thing they can offer is some policy support.

Ye Yuze didn't mind cooperating with them. After all, it was a country with a large population, and the more people there were, the bigger the market would be. Otherwise, why would Erhong be jealous as soon as he arrived here?

If this market is well developed, the profit will be higher than that of the entire Africa. After all, the population base is here.

However, Ye Yuze did not show any interest. After all, the Tata Group is also a large multinational group.

It is the largest group company in India, founded in 1868 and headquartered in Mumbai. It is one of their oldest and largest companies.

With operations around the world and 72 employees, its business operations span seven sectors: communications and information technology, engineering, materials, services, energy, consumer products and chemicals.

It has more than 100 operating companies, offices in more than 80 countries on six continents, exports products and services to 85 countries, and has more than 45 employees worldwide.

The Tata Group has 31 listed companies with a total market value of approximately US$936.7 billion and 380 million shareholders.

And most importantly, 58% of their revenue comes from overseas, but they are clearly weak in the automotive sector.

Ye Yuze naturally had to be cautious when dealing with such a company. Although he didn't care about them, he had to at least put on enough airs.

After all, a deal that is being chased is not a deal. Let them show enough sincerity in the discussion so that Ye Yuze can come up with his own plan.

In fact, it is interesting to say that "Tata" is a household name in India. The founder of the group, Jamsetji, used to supply military supplies to the British army. After the transaction, he liked to say "TaTa" (goodbye). Over time, this became the family name.

The fact that they can change their catchphrases into their surnames shows how casual they are about their surnames. If this happened in China, it would be a joke.

But we have to admit that several generations of Tatas had vision and courage. Their first textile factory was established in the 1870s.

The eight-hour workday, pensions and dividends were first introduced in the country. A hundred years ago, the Tata family had become the country's richest family.

Under such a social system, India is the only country that dares to make such concessions to workers.

Speaking of which, Wei Yuxiang had also been bullied by them. After all, their steel products were among the best in the world, and they were competitors.

As a result, Wei Yuxiang opened a business directly in the family's home. Although it was also an investment, how could the family be happy? He did a lot of things to hinder him, both openly and covertly.

However, Wei Yuxiang was a resilient person. After a series of open and secret struggles, he managed to gain a firm foothold and became a strong competitor of theirs in India.

As for foreign countries, let’s not even talk about it. Although they are known as the fifth largest steel company in the world, they are not good enough in Wei Yuxiang’s eyes.

Although Warrior Steel cannot be ranked number one at the moment, it is still far ahead of them, and this naturally does not include special materials.

This is also the reason why the Tata Group sent two middle-level managers to contact Ye Yuze. Otherwise, with Ye Yuze's identity, he would have to be received in person by old Tata, the real boss of their group.

To put it bluntly, they are just trying to find out if there is any hope. If there is no hope, they will not come to embarrass this person.

Nothing substantive was discussed at the banquet, and the officials' speeches consisted of official words such as "welcome Ye Yuze and others".

After the banquet, an official from the Ministry of Commerce introduced the representative of Tata Company to Ye Yuze and asked if there was any possibility of cooperation between them.

Ye Yuze remained silent and looked at the representatives from Tata. They had been introduced before the cocktail party. The man was called Shaha and the woman was called Indira.

Both of them were from high castes and had very fair skin. Shah was in his forties and was the CEO of Tata Motors, and Indira was his secretary.

Shahe shook hands with him again and directly stated his demands. This guy actually wanted to form a joint venture with the soldiers collectively, and it was an all-round one.

In other words, even the engine batteries have to be produced together.

Ye Yuze smiled. He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen anyone so shameless as to ask for other people's core technology right away.

Seeing Ye Yuze's meaningful smile, Shaha felt a little embarrassed and quickly explained:

"We will also show our sincerity, that is, all the expenses required for building the factory will be borne by us!"

"Also, of all the profits from now on, you will take half, and we will take the other half after deducting the expenses."

Ye Yuze suddenly didn't bother to talk nonsense with him and just said something directly.

"Then in exchange, why don't you also build a factory in Junken City? Didn't you buy Land Rover? If you want to produce in Junken City, I can agree to it. The conditions are the same."

Shaha was stunned, rubbing his hands, not knowing what to say.

The Land Rover is their flagship product, and they rely on it to keep the company running. This is the result of their acquisition of Ford.

The Cool Tiger is an all-terrain vehicle with good performance in terms of energy consumption and various terrains, so its sales are quite good.

In fact, today's Land Rover cars also use Warrior engines. It seems that Shaha wants to directly take the engine technology over.

Ye Yuze's words obviously cut off his thoughts. He stood there in a daze for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Indira smiled and poured tea for Ye Yuze, and did not forget to explain for Shaha:

"Mr. Ye, if you have any good cooperation methods, you can also tell us. Negotiations must naturally reach the satisfaction of both parties, right?"

Looking at this woman, Ye Yuze couldn't help but praise her in his heart. She's so damn beautiful.

She has both white and Asian features.

But her skin is more delicate than that of white people, and her facial features are more three-dimensional than those of Asians. Her big eyes are like two bottomless lakes, and her long eyelashes are flickering, like two frightened pigeons spreading their wings to fly.

She has a slim figure, and the traditional long dress she wears makes her look even more graceful.

There is a natural charm in her every move, sexy red lips, charming eyes, every frown and smile, which always makes men fantasize.

Someone once said that Indian women are the dreamy sexy goddesses of Asian men. This is really true. The experienced Ye Yuze was a little absent-minded at this moment.

Indira captured this scene very keenly, and her smile became even more charming. Her two big eyes looked at Ye Yuze affectionately. The temptation in her eyes made Ye Yuze really unable to resist!

At least Erhong and Dasha noticed this and came over immediately. Erhong picked up the wine glass:

"Hello Indira, I am Mr. Ye's wife, nice to meet you."

Indira looked at Ye Yuze with some doubt, seeming a little unconvinced.

Because Erhong and Dasha are older than Ye Yuze and have obviously aged over the years, while Ye Yuze has not changed much and looks much younger than his peers.

At least when I am with Yang Geyong and Wei Yuxiang, I don't seem like a generation apart...
