R.K.
GUPTA: You know, unless your file is prepared from below,
nothing can be done.

properly.
TEHELKA: Okay, sir.
R.K. GUPTA: If there are three bids…
TEHELKA: Okay, okay.
R.K. GUPTA: …you are also one of them.
TEHELKA: Okay.
R.K. GUPTA: …then they have the option to select you
and reject others.
TEHELKA: Okay, sir.
R.K. GUPTA: But from…somebody should work from below,
no?
TEHELKA: Okay. But, sir when…?
R.K. GUPTA: Your work will be done. You will see the
result in three-four months. Immediately you will start getting
orders.
TEHELKA: Okay, that I have to give that 25 to your
hand…
R.K. GUPTA: Yeah.
TEHELKA: …and you will give that…[gestures].
That is not my headache.
R.K. GUPTA: But when your principal comes…
TEHELKA: Haan.
R.K. GUPTA: I'll then take him to our treasurer. Not
Brajesh Mishra.
TEHELKA: Okay, okay, okay.
R.K. GUPTA: I don't deal with them because they are
bureaucrats.
TEHELKA: Okay.
R.K. GUPTA: This is…

TEHELKA: Okay.
R.K. GUPTA: Settle with them…
TEHELKA: Okay.
R.K. GUPTA (continuing): …your work is done…we
will pay you so much.
TEHELKA: Sir, I don't know how to work out. That is
the problem.
Gupta
also talks about how they build up a project from Brazil
for two-and-a-half years. How they employed Generals and
Brigadiers from the Indian Army and spent Rs. 10 lakh
a month and how they are confident about getting an order
before December 31. But moving on, Gupta details further
how he will handle
the project. He is confident of doing the project within
6 months. |
R.K. GUPTA: And we take from them. In six months the
project will be built up. Complete project will be built up.
TEHELKA: Okay, okay, okay.
R.K. GUPTA: Then at the highest level…
TEHELKA: Hmm.
R.K. GUPTA: Secretary of Defence is the highest boss.
TEHELKA: Okay, okay.
R.K. GUPTA: That "Sir, we are interested in this project.
How should we go?" Once you have built ground below. Then
he will say, "Okay, I will charge this much. One per cent,
one-and-a-half per cent." Then rest you manage below. Everything.
Users and other things…. Then when 40 crores…total expense
how much is possible…six per cent, seven per cent, eight per
cent.
TEHELKA: Yeah.
R.K. GUPTA: Okay?
TEHELKA: I got it.
R.K. GUPTA: Then we give…when the tender is given to
us…we are the lowest, we have been granted… They'll place
orders, open the LC. It is very, very clear.
Gupta
admits to expecting commissions of around Rs.100 crore
in
the year 2000. He says if the Defence Secretary wants
money,
he will give it with his 'own' hands. |
R.K. GUPTA: I have direct relations with the Defence
Secretary.
TEHELKA: Sir, Naresh Nigam entered the plan and I had
some doubts about him.
R.K. GUPTA: Nigam is a small type of person. Give him
10,000, 4,000, plane ticket to Bombay. We oblige him.
TEHELKA: Okay.
R.K. GUPTA: How does it matter? When the game is big,
when I am expecting commission this year…myself commission…100
crores…
TEHELKA: Okay.
R.K. GUPTA: …why should I bother about him, giving
him, two, three, four, ten lakhs?
TEHELKA: Yeah, yeah, that's all.
R.K. GUPTA: I don't care.
TEHELKA: Okay, okay.
R.K. GUPTA: He's a small timer.
TEHELKA: Now I got it, the picture, sir.
R.K. GUPTA: Defence Secretary when he wants money,
I'll give him with my own hand. That, "Sir, this is a cheque
worth two crore…" So I'll tell your principal to deposit in
his account.
TEHELKA: Okay.
R.K. GUPTA: Hmm.
TEHELKA: That's all.
R.K. GUPTA: And this party people…that they are supposed
to settle for two per cent.
TEHELKA: Haan.
R.K. GUPTA: Out of 40 crore order, suppose it's one
crore per annum.
TEHELKA: Hmm.
R.K. GUPTA: For one or two crore.
TEHELKA: That also…that also is sanctioned.…one crore?
R.K. GUPTA: No, no. Just listen. When the order is
with us…LC is with us…then we are paid. Drawdown 30 per cent
payment they give, no? Twenty per cent payment. When you get
the payment, then you pay them. Which account, they will nominate
it. Send. Finished.
TEHELKA: That's all.
