Chapter 1563 Attention

Bordering the Arabian Sea, Mumbai, known as the western gateway of India, is the well-deserved pride of Indians.

In a sense, Mumbai is to India what SH is to China.

Indians think so too, so they have a self-motivating phrase, "Mumbai is only 20 years ahead of SH,"

which means that if they don't work harder, they will soon be caught up by SH - haha, I don't quite understand their humor.

The humid rainy season has just passed, and Mumbai, which has just entered the dry season, is clear and refreshing. It is a good time to visit.

Overall, this commercial and financial capital of India is very consistent with the situation in Bangalore. The infrastructure is seriously in arrears, the gap between the rich and the poor is obvious, the rich areas are comparable to the rich areas in Europe and the United States, and the slums look really no different from the poorest tribes in Africa.

In the ancient castle area, there is a small building that looks inconspicuous, but to Indians, it is famous - the Bombay Building.

It is called the Bombay Building, not because it is the administrative center of Mumbai, but because it is the headquarters of the Tata Group, one of India's largest private enterprise groups.

In 1924, 56 years after the founding of the Tata Group, it moved into the most modern building in Mumbai at that time. It has been in this building that it has been commanding its companies all over the world for 80 years.

Eighty years later, the once magnificent headquarters building has become insignificant, and is not even as magnificent as the headquarters buildings of some of its secondary companies, but it is still the center of the Tata Group.

The tall communication towers on the top of the building symbolize its unique identity.

At this time, on the top floor of the Mumbai building, the chairman of the Tata Group, Ratan Tata, 66 years old, is looking at a document in his hand seriously. On the first page of the document, the young Feng Yiping smiles brightly and sunny.

Although he only has less than ten pages of thin paper in his hand, there are two cartons in front of his desk. What Tata holds is the essence of the contents of the two boxes.

Next to his desk, there are 6 capable men and women holding a computer, ready to respond to Ratan Tata's inquiries at any time.

These people were very respectful, because the old man with deep nasolabial folds in front of them was definitely not like Feng Yiping, the subject of this investigation.

For a family business with a long history like Tata, it is not easy for a family member to become the helmsman.

As a member of the Tata family, Ratan Tata was designated as the successor by his predecessor, his distant uncle J.R.D. Tata. This road was naturally very difficult.

A bold guess is that the difficulty of becoming the successor of such a group is no less than the difficulties faced by those who start their own business from scratch.

After taking over the power of the company, his cleanup of the veterans, the thorough cleanup of the steel industry, the spiritual pillar of the group, and the disguised layoffs of tens of thousands of people..., fully demonstrated his iron-bloodedness and coldness.

It is the natural choice of his assistants to be respectful enough in front of him.

The office is very quiet, with only the sound of Ratan slowly turning the paper. From this sound, it can be seen that he is reading very seriously, and sometimes he will turn back to read the previous content.

As two neighboring ancient civilizations, India and China do not have much communication, to be honest.

More than a decade later, when our annual outbound tourism reached over 100 million, only 1 million people came to India. This ratio is really very small.

On the contrary, India is even more so, otherwise there would not be such positive views that they think are so funny to us.

Of course, the Tata Group has offices in China at this time. A large part of the two boxes of information, including documents and video materials, are provided by Tata China's institutions, and the other part is collected by its American company.

Just those more than ten pages of A4 paper, Ratan Tata read them for more than an hour without distraction.

Ratan Tata, who looks calm on the outside, is extremely turbulent at this time. This young man who is famous in the world but he didn't pay much attention to before is indeed a genius.

The Tata Group he took over from his uncle is actually just a glamorous appearance, with a loss in its main business, and the business areas of the entire group are too wide, but the veterans are still unaware and very proud.

In the more than ten years from 1991 to now, he has made great efforts to revitalize the aging Tata Group. Fortunately, almost all of his actions are very correct.

This makes him very confident in his vision, but compared with the young man in the information, the vision that makes him proud is actually nothing.

In today's society, it is unimaginable for a young man to start from scratch and create such a big business in just a few years.

Feng Yiping's resume was summarized very concisely by his subordinates, and each year was summarized in just a few short sentences.

But it was this concise resume that made Ratan Tata shake his heart and feel passionate.

He couldn't help but put himself in it, following those concise summaries and growing with Feng Yiping, but every time Feng Yiping grew up, he was unexpectedly outstanding.

According to his calculations, under the same circumstances, if he could develop one or two of Feng Yiping's current businesses well, such as furniture and convenience stores, it would be a very good result.

However, Feng Yiping actually successfully developed so many companies.

What impressed him even more was the development achievements of Feng Yiping's companies.

As the head of a comprehensive group, Ratan Tata very much favors the view of Welch, the former CEO of General Motors. If a company cannot be among the top three in its industry, then it should be sold.

He did just that and reduced the size of the group from more than 300 companies when he took over to just over 100 now.

However, many of Feng Yiping's companies, whether in traditional or non-traditional industries, are currently not only among the top three in their fields, but also at the top of the list.

Such a result was unimaginable to him.

On the other hand, Feng Yiping's actions in the field of mergers and acquisitions also amazed him. The rigorous planning, smooth implementation, and perfect results were all what he had dreamed of.

As for his investment, let’s not mention it at all. There is no need to mention Google. Let’s just say that NAVTEQ and Skype, which he invested in, were both very successful...

If only I had his vision!

After reading Feng Yiping's information, Ratan Tata knew that he had witnessed the birth of a legend. "Notify the heads of each department to convene a temporary emergency meeting tonight,"

"I hope they will think about a question now, this rare visit from Mr. Feng, how should we seize this opportunity," he told his assistants.

"Based on the characteristics of Mr. Feng and his company, in which areas do we have the potential to cooperate with him, and how to implement it specifically...,"

"I hope to hear their views then,"

"Yes, Mr. Bin Laden," the assistants said respectfully.

It is indeed rare for Mr. Bin Laden to take this seriously.

"Also, let Vice President Sean pick him up at the airport in person,"

The Vice President Sean he was talking about was the first person under him in the Tata Group. This courtesy was indeed grand enough.

…………

When the business jet began to descend, Feng Yiping returned to the main seat. At this time, Marika had also put down the phone, "Mr. Feng, I only have one request. Since there are no important work arrangements tonight, can you Let me arrange it?”

This is really straightforward.

"Ms. Marika, thank you for your kindness, but I'm very sorry. I plan to have a good rest in the hotel tonight," Feng Yiping refused very directly.

"I understand, what I mean is, can I have the honor to have dinner with you tonight?" Her big eyes flickered, and this electricity made Feng Yiping feel a little numb in his body.

And the intoxicating fragrance...

"You know, today's dinner...,"

"I know, so what I mean is that today's dinner will be arranged by me. I guarantee that it will be hygienic and safe, and it will definitely change your view of our food. Are you willing to try it?"

Feng Yiping was quite happy to eat, not to mention there were so many people following him.

"Then I'll trouble you again?"

"No trouble, no trouble, it's my pleasure," Marika waved her hands and said, oh, there was such a surge that Feng Yiping had to move his eyes away again.

Through the porthole, he could see that there seemed to be a motorcade parked at the airport. However, the motorcade looked like a black line at this time, while the people next to the motorcade looked like small dots.
