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

As night falls, the lanterns come on!
The luxurious conference room on the top floor of the Emperor Hotel was bustling with people and wealthy people gathered.

Those who are eligible to attend today's meeting have one thing in common, that is, members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

Although the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has only been established for a little over a year, it is already the strongest and most influential chamber of commerce in the entire Hong Kong Island.

Since the Chinese Chamber of Commerce was established on the basis of defeating the British capital groups, and after its establishment, they have repeatedly crushed the malicious attacks of foreign capital, and even forced the Governor's Office of Hong Kong to temporarily avoid their edge.

It is precisely because of this record that the Chamber of Commerce not only has a huge influence in the business community, but even ordinary people in Hong Kong Island are full of goodwill towards this business organization.

Because it was the Chinese Chamber of Commerce that made millions of people in Hong Kong feel proud for the first time.

At the same time, it also made them feel for the first time that those high-ranking foreign masters were nothing special.

Therefore, the status of Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong Island is rapidly improving, and more and more Chinese businessmen are proud to join the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, the world is bustling with people seeking profit, and the world is bustling with people seeking profit.

In addition to the reasons mentioned above, the reason why businessmen are so eager to join the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is more because of interests.

Like all chambers of commerce, the essence of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is also a business alliance, which also requires internal members to be united and friendly, to help each other, to cooperate with each other, and to support each other.

But unlike other business alliances, everyone is only superficial in their attitude towards these demands and no one takes them seriously. They will never hesitate when it is time to plot and will never show mercy when it is time to kill.

However, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is different. The chamber truly regards its purpose as a creed. Although there is competition among members, they never fight. Instead, they focus more on win-win cooperation.

Someone has specifically calculated that over the past year or so, even though the impact of the 81 stock market crash was still ongoing and the overall environment was still in a depressed state, the assets of all members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce increased.

Among these people, there are many whose net worth has doubled, such as Huang Lixing, Li Futiao and He Dongying.

As the Chamber of Commerce has gained a firm foothold in Hong Kong Island, its influence is also expanding to surrounding areas. Now, not only Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong Island want to join the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, but many Chinese businessmen in many Southeast Asian countries have also contacted them, hoping to join the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, the current Chinese Chamber of Commerce has become a business force in East Asia and Southeast Asia that cannot be ignored.

As the largest membership meeting held by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce since its establishment, all members in Hong Kong Island came today.

There were so many people that the huge conference room was packed to the brim. All you could see were people and buzzing noises.

Of course, when wealthy elites meet, they naturally won’t brag or chat like ordinary people.

They would not miss such a good opportunity to build relationships and find cooperation opportunities. Before the meeting time and when the bigwigs of the Chamber of Commerce had not arrived yet, these ordinary members gathered in groups of three or five to chat enthusiastically.

"Have you heard that Mr. Li from Xingchen Investment Company is back? This meeting was held at his request!"

"Everyone knows about this. Mr. Li came back yesterday and showed up at Xingchen Investment Company today. I heard that he even called a meeting with all the executives of Xingchen Group!"

"Old Liu, your information is outdated. I heard that Mr. Li went to Warwick Company at No. 18 Racecourse this afternoon and officially announced that he would be the president of Warwick Company!"

"Is this true? Mr. Li is the president of Warwick Company. Could it be that Warwick Company was really established to take over the Star System companies?"

"Who knows? But Mr. Li called us to a meeting at this time. I think he will give us an explanation!"

"What's there to explain? Those are all internal affairs of the Star System. Do they need to explain them to us? What I care about most now is when Mr. Li will make a new round of investment. Then we can also get some benefits!" "Yes, yes, yes, I think so too."

Just as everyone was talking, the half-closed door of the conference room was pushed open.

Then, seven or eight business tycoons strode in, surrounded by several sturdy and tall security guards with resolute and vigilant expressions.

The one walking in the middle was Li Yi. As for Li Futiao, Baochuanwang, He Dongying and others, they all followed beside him. It was clear that Li Yi was the center of attention.

Seeing this scene, the conference room, which was originally as noisy as a vegetable market, quickly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Li Yi, Li Futiao and others.

After Li Yi and others entered the venue, they immediately went to the front row and sat down according to the pre-arranged seats.

As soon as they finished speaking, there was warm applause in the conference room, which lasted for a long time!

After a long while, the applause died down, and the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Li Futiao, said, "Ladies and gentlemen, new and old members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, good evening. Thank you very much for taking the time to attend our meeting. I and the Chamber of Commerce are very grateful for your presence. Now, please welcome Vice President Li Yi to give a speech. Please welcome him with applause!"

"clap clap"

After another round of warm applause, Li Yi stood up and bowed to everyone present.

Then, he said, "Everyone, I have suddenly called you all together today because I have three main things to discuss with you."

"The first thing is about the Huawei Company incident that has been making a lot of noise recently. I have three points to clarify about this matter. First, regarding the nature of Huawei Company, this company is a state-owned enterprise wholly owned by the Chinese government. I am the president of the company. At the same time, I am also the director of the Investment Department of the China Development Commission!"

"Secondly, the purpose of establishing Warwick Company is to invest and earn foreign exchange. The so-called takeover of Xingchen Investment Company, control of the economic lifeline of Hong Kong Island, and hollowing out Hong Kong Island are pure nonsense. Someone is deliberately discrediting Warwick Company and maliciously attacking me and Xingchen Company. At the same time, they are also targeting the Chinese government. Don't believe it."

"Finally, Warwick will conduct business in Hong Kong Island all year round, and will inevitably cooperate with your companies in the future. You can trust Warwick as much as you trust Xingchen Investment Company. Please support Warwick."

As soon as the words fell, the whole conference room went into an uproar.

Some people were surprised at the nature of Warwick Company, some were shocked at Li Yi's official identity, and some were secretly inquiring about the business scope of Warwick Company to see if they could cooperate with this company.

For a moment, the conference room was filled with a buzzing sound, as if thousands of bees were flapping their wings at the same time.

After everyone discussed for a few minutes, Li Yi knocked on the conference table in front of him, then raised his hand and pressed it, signaling everyone to be quiet.

After the meeting room quieted down again, Li Yi changed the subject and said again: "I will stop here to explain the matter of Huawei Company. Tomorrow, Xingchen Investment Company and Huawei Company will each hold a press conference to explain this matter to the public."

"Now let's talk about the second thing we want to discuss today, which is how to deal with these malicious rumors. You must know that these rumors not only damage the reputation of me, Xingchen Investment Company, and Warwick Company, but also harm the reputation and interests of our entire Chinese Chamber of Commerce. We must respond!"

As soon as Li Yi finished speaking, he heard Li Futiao next to him saying, "Vice President Li is right. Those rumors are malicious slander and provocation against our Chinese Chamber of Commerce. We must respond positively and resolutely safeguard our interests."

The charter king also echoed, "Yes, no matter who is behind this, we must find them out and make them pay a heavy price!"

"Mr. Bao is right. Our Chinese Chamber of Commerce cannot be humiliated. The mastermind behind the scenes must pay the price!" He Dongying also expressed his opinion.

Seeing that these bigwigs had expressed their opinions, others also spoke up, demanding a direct response to the other party's smears and provocations, and to expose the mastermind behind the scenes.

Seeing this scene, Li Yi's mouth corners slightly raised, he knew it was time to fight back.
