Chapter 217 Sahara Company
Subrata, the boss of Sahara India, was born in one of the poorest states in northern India. Although his family is a small landowner, it is not particularly wealthy.
Subrata has been very interested in business since she was a child, but her previous ventures, such as selling some food and electric fans, all ended in failure.
It wasn't until 1978 that he finally enlightened and started a great cause - helping the poor make money.
Well, what he does is to sell a fund product to those poor people, claiming to be able to give returns of more than 300%!
The lives of the people at the bottom of India are so miserable. As long as there is the slightest hope that they can escape from their current life, they will not hesitate to fight against everything.
Moreover, most banks in India at that time only operated in cities. The poor people in slums and remote towns had nowhere to save money, even if they had meager savings.
And the literacy rate in India is extremely low, especially among the poor, few of whom have gone to school...
It was because of this that Subrata was able to boldly sell his business model to the poor people in India.
In the eyes of the poor in India, this is not a scam at all, but an opportunity to change their lives.
Initially, in order to expand his business, Subrata rode his motorcycle through the streets every day. Of course, the villagers were also curious about this new investment method. Under his instigation, they all took out their savings. , just like this, you have 10 yuan, I have 20 yuan, Subra raised a lot of funds.
In order to achieve rapid business development, Subrata began to recruit a team of agents to sell his "fund plan" to more low-income people through agents.
With recommendations from acquaintances and attractive investment returns, agents can easily attract investment, and part of this investment becomes the agent's salary and commission.
In addition, Subrata usually organizes investors for collective activities.
Sometimes Subrata would come among these Indian people, care about their lives, and solve some practical difficulties for them.
In 1992, Subrata invested in a primary school in a village in Gorakhpur.
According to Subrata's request, many media reporters were present to record this moment.
Soon, Subrata's image among India's poor became increasingly positive.
Some poor people in India even shouted slogans of "Long Live Subrata" in excitement.
In addition, Subrata once held a grand mass wedding for dozens of Indian men and women who were unable to get married due to poverty.
Like the previous investment donation event, Subrata invited a large number of media reporters at the wedding.
After accepting Subrata's banquet, these reporters wrote a large number of press releases praising Subrata.
Suddenly, Subrata became a popular business figure in India.
Although Subrata's wealth is not as rich as Ambani, India's richest man at the time, his reputation cannot be underestimated.
Subrata's series of actions directly made him "one of his own" in the hearts of poor people in India.
Many Indians feel that if they work on projects with Subrata, he and his company will not treat them badly.
It is precisely because Subrata grasped the mentality of the lower class people in India that he was able to make his investment business successful.
In order to gain everyone's trust, Subrata managed the company in a family style. All agents and investors were affectionately called family by him. Through charity, he created his perfect personality among the poor, and He himself is like the patriarch of the family. No matter where he goes, he is sought after and worshiped by everyone.
Under this model, Subrata's business scale grew day by day. In 1997, the Sahara Group's capital reached US$1 billion and its employees reached an astonishing hundreds of thousands.
It is obvious that what Subrata is conducting is a large-scale "Ponzi scheme". Are you familiar with the operation of calling his leeks "family"?
Later, China’s pyramid schemes and micro-businesses were all left over from Subrata’s tricks...
By 2000, he directly established the Sahara Group.
Subrata used the money raised to invest heavily in India's real estate and electronics industries, which allowed him to accumulate astonishing wealth in a short period of time.
Because Subrata had extraordinary talents in interpersonal communication, he quickly became a leader in the Indian business field.
No matter what time it is, Subrata always has a few sure-fire deals on his hands.
He founded "Sahara TV", purchased many newspapers, mastered the tools of propaganda and public opinion, and supported the Sahara Group.
It is now 2003. Although the Sahara Group is already very well-known in India, it is not that well-known globally. Later, the creator of "India's largest Ponzi scheme" will also spend a lot of money to acquire London-based Grocery. Furner House Hotel - This hotel formerly belonged to Barron's old acquaintance, the Duke of Westminster, and is one of London's landmark buildings.
Not only that, he also spent a huge sum of money to acquire the Dream City Center Hotel in New York.
At that time, his actions began to make him famous in front of people all over the world.
After hearing what Alia said about the plan, they initially hoped to cooperate with the "Raphael" organization and target the Sahara Company in India for "fraud". They couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
To defraud India’s largest “Ponzi scheme” company?
For a moment, he actually put the other party back to see if they would succeed in the end...
Of course, this is impossible. After all, as the "Raphael" organization that has harmed the Devonshire family, Barron must eliminate it to maintain the dignity of the family.
As for Sahara Company?
To be honest, Barron doesn't care about them. After all, although Subrata's "earned" wealth has reached billions of dollars, on the one hand, the other party is doing it in India and has no impact on him; on the other hand, Barron My current net worth is not lower than that of the other party. There is no need to get involved in the Sahara Company. After all, this company will be targeted by the Indian government in the future...
Now Barron will still keep Alia under custody, and will first investigate the various details of what she said to determine whether the other party is lying.
Her greatest value in the future may be to help her find all the "Raphael" members.
After all, according to her statement, she had the most contact with another more core member of "Raphael" before. This time she just went to see Soslan and was ready to discuss follow-up plans, but she didn't expect that she would be "recruited" by the special operations team. Take advantage of the situation."
Barron admitted that Alia is extremely beautiful, and as a beauty from the Middle East with Arab descent, she is more in line with Barron's aesthetics than many European and American women.
But in the final analysis, he could vaguely feel that there were still many secrets in Alya's body, and he would naturally not take risks. No matter how tempting she was, he would not easily keep her by his side.
After confirming the authenticity of what Aliya said, her next fate will be decided.
At present, not all "Raphael" have been arrested, and behind Alya and her "adoptive father", Louis Lafayette, it is estimated that they are not ordinary people, so Barron will be more careful.
Although he is not afraid of those hidden forces now, it does not mean that he is willing to be harassed by them all day long.
