Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

With a better plan, Li Yi finally did not join the state-owned enterprise reform leadership group.

But he did not completely clear himself. At the unanimous request of Mr. Chen, Wang Tianrong and others, he still held a nominal position as an advisor within the leadership group.

This so-called consultant usually does not need to interfere in the specific matters of enterprise restructuring, nor does he need to go to the company to work.

But if there is a real need there, Li Yi will give advice to the company and provide solutions and ideas to the big guys to solve the problems.

All in all, these old foxes will not easily let go of his free labor.

But you have a plan, and I have a ladder.

In Li Yi's opinion, as long as it is not mandatory, everything will be much easier.

In order not to be distracted by the messy issues of state-owned enterprise reform, after the meeting, Li Yi returned home and started working on the plan for the new company.

After all, as long as the new company is established, he will have enough reasons to turn down the matters of the state-owned enterprise reform leading group.

No matter how powerful and overbearing the bosses are, they cannot ask Li Yi to do this and that. Li Yi is a human being, not a donkey in the production team.

Besides, even the donkey in the production team needs to rest!
Anyway, Li Yi would rather lead people to make money for the country in the stock market or futures market than waste his energy on the reform of state-owned enterprises.

That’s right, it’s a waste!
Although the reform of state-owned enterprises is imperative and the only way to save those state-owned enterprises on the verge of bankruptcy, this kind of thing is too energy-consuming.

In Li Yi's view, this is a double internal consumption of both spirit and body.

After all, every problematic state-owned enterprise affects the jobs of thousands of workers and cadres.

From the details to the whole, we don’t know how many families’ lives are affected.

Although the purpose of restructuring and reforming state-owned enterprises is good, it will inevitably affect the interests of many people.

It is said that blocking (cutting off) someone's financial resources is like killing his parents. Faced with their fundamental interests being affected, some employees, cadres and their families will not back down.

Therefore, the reform of state-owned enterprises is not at all as imagined, where the leaders above determine the plan, the employees below fully cooperate, and everyone happily solves the problem.

In fact, the restructuring and transformation of every state-owned enterprise is accompanied by the struggle and game of various forces, which is far from as easy as imagined.

Therefore, in Li Yi's opinion, such a challenging task should be left to others.

As for himself, the only thing he can do is to use his own abilities to bring back more foreign exchange for the country, and he is quite good at this.

This guy should just do what he is good at.
Human beings are really strange animals. Without motivation, even the simplest things will seem difficult.

But if you have motivation, you will find a way to solve any difficult problem, and it will be much easier to do.

With Li Yi's full efforts, the plan to set up a new company soon came out.

Then, the specific plan was submitted by Li Yi.

The government department, which has always been criticized for its efficiency, responded surprisingly this time. The plan was approved in less than three days after it was submitted.

After review and approval by higher authorities, the state-owned Warwick Investment Company (Warwick, ha ha ha!) was formally established, led by the Development Commission, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the Huaguo Bank.

The company is headed by Li Yi, director of the Investment Department of the Development Commission. The initial capital is 3.2 million US dollars, of which million is contributed by the Development Commission, million is contributed by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and the remaining million is contributed by Huaguo Bank.

The responsibility and profit distribution are also divided according to the proportion of investment.

Although the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, the leading unit proposed by Li Yi, was changed to its superior unit, Bank of China, the impact was not significant, so the establishment of a new company had to be put on the agenda.

After all, it is a state-owned investment company, so naturally, all its personnel cannot be foreigners. The leaders and backbones of each department have to be selected from the country.

At that moment, Li Yi consulted with Chen Lao and Wang Tianrong about this matter. After discussion among these bigwigs, they finally decided that the backbone of the new company would be selected from the existing staff and cadres of the Development Committee, the State-owned Assets Department and Huaguo Bank. However, for the sake of prudence, the internal security department would conduct a second political review of these staff and cadres before the selection.

Only employees and cadres who have passed the second political review have the opportunity to enter this new company.

In the following week, these units conducted internal reviews of employees and cadres who were interested in joining the new company.

Although Li Yi was not quite sure whether their review was strict enough, the necessary procedures should still be followed.

This is also the characteristic of the way government departments and state-owned enterprises do things. No matter what the effect is, at least you can't find any fault with the procedure.

Time quickly came to the beginning of March, and the political review work of various units was preliminarily completed!

On March 3, after receiving notifications from various units that their internal audits had been completed, Li Yi personally led a team to visit these three major units and interviewed all employees and cadres who had passed the audit.

After all, these people will be the future team of Warwick Investment Company. Li Yi dare not neglect them, let alone be careless. He must personally control the personnel aspect.

After three days of interviews and a preliminary screening of more than 66 staff members who passed the political review, Li Yi finally selected people as the backbone of the new company.

Among these 66 "chosen ones", there are 28 cadres. In addition to Li Yi, the director at the bureau level, the highest-ranking ones are the two presidents at the division level of the Beijing branch of the China Bank, namely Zhang Zhen and Xu Shen.

In addition, the Development Commission and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission each have two division-level cadres selected for the short list, namely Han Hongjun, director of the Second Division of the Political Research Office of the Development Commission, Huang Xu, director of the Third Division of the General Administration, Gao Ying, director of the Audit Division of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and Xu Mingzhu, director of the Finance Division.

Among the remaining cadres, there are 9 deputy division-level cadres and 13 section-level cadres.

The remaining 44 people are all ordinary workers, but their educational level is above college level, they know some foreign languages ​​and have some special skills.

The most important thing is that these people have one thing in common, that is, they are unwilling to be ordinary!
After the personnel were initially determined, Li Yi unexpectedly transferred Jiang Longcheng and Ye Jianhua to the new company.

In his opinion, although the people selected at the moment are excellent, if they are asked to directly take on the responsibility of Warwick Company, they are obviously unqualified and need to be well trained before they can be reused.

In that case, I might as well bring my two older brothers-in-law along as well.

Anyway, one sheep is herding, and so is a group of sheep.

Although it is a bit impolite to think this way, it is the fact and also the truest thought in Li Yi's heart!
On March 3, after nearly a month of intense preparations, the new company was finally officially established amid the sound of firecrackers.

At the same time, Warwick announced the nature of the company and personnel appointments.

Warwick Company is a wholly state-owned investment company of the Chinese government. The company's general manager is Li Yi, and deputy general managers are Zhang Zhen and Han Hongjun; investment manager is Yang Qian; office director is Jiang Longcheng; risk control manager is Xu Shen; research manager is Gao Ying; public relations manager is Ye Jianhua; marketing manager is Huang Xu; finance manager is Xu Mingzhu, and security director is Zhou Wen.

After the company was established, US$3.2 million in funds were quickly in place, and the next step was to consider starting business.

However, Li Yi did not arrange for these people in the company to carry out research in this area. Instead, at his order, except for a small number of people left to coordinate various domestic units, the rest of the people all rushed to Hong Kong Island through the channels of Xingchen Investment Company.

After these people arrived in Hong Kong Island, they had to build the company headquarters while the entire department went to various departments of Star Company for internships to understand the investment and financial rules here.

As an investment tycoon who has lived two lives, Li Yi is well aware that China does not lack investors with strategic vision, but many times our failures are not due to strategic or tactical problems, but to problems in our understanding of the rules.

Therefore, before really leading these people to start investing, Li Yi must let them understand the rules of international finance and investment.

Only by understanding these can you operate within the rules and avoid being caught by others.

With the arrival of Warwick's employees, the business situation in Hong Kong Island has quietly changed.
PS: Lao Cang has been busy seeing a doctor these two days. Taking advantage of the opportunity of successfully completing the next book, Lao Cang plans to take good care of his health.

After two days of examinations, the situation is still quite serious, especially the blood sugar, which is already so high that it cannot be controlled by ordinary drugs. If it is not resolved, uremia is imminent.

Fortunately, I don't need to be hospitalized, and I will be able to resume updating tomorrow! (End of this chapter)
