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

The meeting is still going on!

Li Yi saw that the time was almost right and immediately stood up from his seat.

When the people who were expressing their opinions saw his actions, they immediately quieted down, and everyone's attention was focused on Li Yi.

"Everyone, as we all know, we Chinese are the most gentle and peace-loving people in the world. We usually don't easily take the initiative to invade others, but if you regard our tolerance as timidity and cowardice, you are wrong!"

Then, Li Yi said again: "Obviously, those rats and bastards hiding in the dark don't know this, and they come to provoke us again and again. In this case, let's teach them what it means to not offend others unless they offend me, but if someone offends me, I will punish them even if they are far away!"

Somehow, after hearing this, all the Chinese businessmen present suddenly felt their blood boiling.

For many years, facing the oppression and humiliation of foreigners and white people, the Chinese and Chinese businessmen could only bow their heads and endure.

But now, the world seems to have changed all of a sudden.

The words "Even if they are far away, they must be punished" seem to remind us of that era of strength when the sword pointed to everything and was invincible.
Just as everyone was extremely excited, Li Yi said again: "Regarding the countermeasures, I have a few suggestions. First, we should hold a press conference in the name of the Chamber of Commerce to make our attitude clear. We will not accept incitement and provocation from any force, and we will investigate malicious rumor mongers to the end."

"Secondly, we will report the case to the Hong Kong Police Station, claiming that the Chamber of Commerce's reputation has been damaged, and ask them to identify the person who spread the rumor. Xingchen Investment Company and Warwick Company will also follow up. No matter who is behind this malicious slander and rumor, once they are found out, they will be severely punished. If necessary, the relevant departments of China will also intervene."

When these words came out, everyone in the conference room was shocked again.

When Li Yi said he would report the incident to the police station, many people scoffed at this. After all, everyone knew that the police station and the British Hong Kong government and the Governor's Office behind it were at loggerheads with Li Yi. How could they possibly help them investigate the matter?

What's more, those who maliciously spread rumors are likely to be related to them. Isn't it wishful thinking to let those people deal with themselves?
But if the government on the other side of the strait takes action personally, that would be a different matter.

At this time, Li Yi's voice sounded again in the conference room: "In addition, the panic and irrationality shown by the people of Hong Kong Island in this incident all come from their lack of understanding of the mainland."

"So in the coming time, I will form several filming teams from Hong Kong Island to shoot documentaries on the customs and daily life of mainlanders. They will be broadcast in Hong Kong Island. Friends in the media and film and television industries are welcome to help!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ho Tung-ying said, "Mr. Li, our Ho family owns shares in TVB, so we can let them handle the filming and broadcasting!"

"Mr. Li, our Luo family owns shares in ATV, and ATV will fully cooperate with Mr. Li's plan!"

"Mr. Li, we are from the Liu family"

Li Yi raised his hand and said again: "Thank you for your support and help. I will have someone discuss this matter with you later. Now let's talk about the third thing to be discussed in today's meeting, which is also the most important thing!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention was focused on Li Yi again.

The expressions of Li Futiao, Huang Lixing, He Dongying and others around Li Yi became excited. They knew that the focus of today's meeting had finally arrived.

If what I just said was just an appetizer, then what I am going to talk about next is the real luxurious meal.

Sure enough, Li Yi coughed lightly and said seriously: "In order to thank you for your support and to give back to the new and old customers who support Xingchen Company, we have decided to launch a new round of investment plan."

Before Li Yi finished speaking, the conference room was in an uproar. Everyone became excited and looked at Li Yi with fiery eyes.

It's no wonder that these people are so excited. You know, in the past two years, every time Xingchen Company has a big move, the members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce have made a lot of money.

Not to mention big families like the Li family and the He family that have made profits of tens of billions, even ordinary members have made several times the profit.

Therefore, there is a consensus in the circle that if Mr. Li takes action personally, it would be giving money to everyone for free, and they must seize the opportunity.

At this time, Li Futiao stood up and said, "Everyone, be quiet. Let's listen to brother Li Yi talk about the specific requirements for this investment!" After hearing Li Futiao's words, the conference room became quiet again.

Li Yi did not keep everyone waiting for long, and stood up and said, "Regarding this investment plan, I would like to say three things. The first point is that this investment action will be open to all customers in Hong Kong who support and trust Xingchen Company, including all of you present here."

"Secondly, there is no limit on the amount of funds for this investment campaign. You can participate with one Hong Kong dollar or one hundred million Hong Kong dollars. But I only accept orders above one billion Hong Kong dollars. For orders below one billion Hong Kong dollars, please go directly to the business manager of Xingchen Investment Company to sign the contract."

"Third, Xingchen Investment Company and I personally promise to compensate for any losses of the funds raised by this investment plan, and to halve the investment service fees for all investors."

Before he finished speaking, everyone in the conference room cheered instantly. The conditions were really too generous.

Not to mention that not everyone dares to promise to compensate for losses, Li Yi's concession on service fees alone made everyone excited.

Everyone knows that the service fee of Xingchen Investment Company is ridiculously high. Normally, they charge 50% of the profit.

The service fee was halved, and the savings were not just a small amount. For people like them, it could be hundreds of millions or even billions of Hong Kong dollars. How could they not be excited?

For a moment, the entire conference room was in an uproar!

Afterwards, when everyone's excitement had calmed down a little, Li Yi discussed some investment details with everyone, and the meeting ended at 9:30.
A speechless night!
The next morning, Li Yi got up early again, washed up simply, and went straight to Xingchen Investment Company.

Afterwards, he personally attended the press conference of Xingchen Investment Company and formally responded to the various rumors that have been circulating in recent times. At the same time, he announced a new round of investment plans and publicly recruited funds.

Soon after, Warwick Company and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce also held press conferences to follow up on this matter.

Afterwards, Li Yi, Star Company, Warwick Company and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce successively reported the case to the Hong Kong Police Station, asking them to find out as soon as possible who was making up rumors and maliciously slandering Li Yi and his company.

At the same time, the Li family, the He family, the Bao family, the Huo family and other leading Chinese business families and wealthy families have also publicly expressed their support for Li Yi and Xingchen Company and resolutely resisted all kinds of false rumors.

However, with the all-out counterattack by Li Yi and the Chinese businessmen, the outside world's opinion changed instantly.

The gossip tabloids that were once full of malicious rumors disappeared almost overnight. The media that had previously reprinted such articles also came out to refute the rumors and even publicly apologized to Li Yi and Xingchen Company.

The police station was also under pressure and not only set up a special task force, but also publicly solicited clues from the public.

Regardless of whether it works or not, at least the effort is made.

With a multi-pronged approach, the effect is still very obvious.

As the wind direction changed, the people of Hong Kong Island, who were originally skeptical, gradually let go of their guard against Li Yi and Star Investment Company.

In addition, the new investment plan released by Star Investment Company was so attractive that a large number of people soon flocked to Star Investment Company, including some who had just cooperated with the company.

After all, no one can escape the law of true fragrance.

Under such circumstances, Li Yi's reputation and the company's reputation were recovering rapidly, and the adverse effects of the rumors were quickly dispelled.

However, Li Yi knew that this counterattack was not enough and he had to work harder.
ps: I just came back from a follow-up visit, and the situation is slightly better. The high blood sugar is finally under control. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It was really scary some time ago. My blood sugar level was as high as ten points every day, and even medicine couldn't control it. If complications arose, I would be doomed.

Fortunately, I finally got through it. Although I still have to take medicine and get injections, there is still hope for recovery. (End of this chapter)
