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

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Daniel suddenly felt a huge pressure.

He subconsciously wanted to deny the existence of this thing!
After all, for a president of a large company like him, if he admitted that his company was in a major crisis, the consequences would be very serious once the news got out.

Especially if competitors find out about this, they don’t know how they will take this opportunity to attack Xinfeng Bank!
But when the words came to his lips, Daniel swallowed them back.

After all, he was now facing an Oriental man who was suspected to know the art of prophecy, and his denial would be meaningless to the other party.

Therefore, facing the inquiring gazes of the crowd, Daniel simply remained silent, and only his constantly changing expression could reflect the complexity of his heart at this moment.

Seeing his reaction, Li Yi's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing an inexplicable smile. It seems that he made the right bet again this time.

Of course, Li Yi didn't understand any great prophecy. What he said just now were all reasonable speculations based on some basic information and had no actual basis.

Unlike the things that happened in the country, Li Yi knew clearly the development and outcome of the matter, so he was very sure most of the time.

But the current situation is a little different. Since Xinfeng Bank went bankrupt early, Li Yi actually didn't know much about this company and naturally didn't know their specific operating conditions.

But because he had seen the Gold Robbery, Li Yi knew that this bank would go bankrupt in 85. This was the basic information.

However, a three-foot-thick ice does not form overnight. Such a large financial bank would certainly not collapse suddenly. There must have been problems in their operations for a long time, but these problems broke out two years later, ultimately causing the bank to fail.

This is a reasonable guess!
When basic information + reasonable speculation = great prophecy!
Obviously, judging from Daniel's current reaction, his speculation was correct, and the situation of Xinfeng Bank was even more serious than he imagined.

Daniel's reaction was also seen by Old George, Sandy, Dolson and others. They were all smart people and could not figure out what was going on.

At that moment, Old George said with a hint of shock: "Daniel, what Li said can't be true, can't your Xinfeng Bank really have a big problem?"

After a little hesitation, Daniel finally sighed and said, "Yes, our bank is indeed facing some problems, but it has not yet affected the life and death of the company."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yi said again: "Mr. Daniel, excessive loans and large-scale bad debts will not cause your company to go bankrupt completely, but will only aggravate your losses."

"Under normal circumstances, your Xinfeng Bank would be like those poorly managed commercial banks, half dead but not alive, and would last for ten, twenty years, or even longer. However..."

When they heard the word "but", everyone's expressions turned serious and curious, and everyone knew that the point was coming.

"But there is an old saying in China that if a person is unlucky, even drinking cold water will get stuck in his teeth. Xinfeng Bank is in such a bad luck state now. If nothing unexpected happens, an accident will happen!" Li Yi said.

"What accident?" Daniel asked hurriedly.

At this moment, he was shocked and terrified. Li Yi mentioned excessive loans and large-scale bad debts just now, which was indeed the most serious problem their bank was currently facing.

If it is not handled properly, it will indeed cause huge losses to the company.

However, these issues are highly confidential even within their bank, and only a small number of senior executives know about them. How did Li Yi, who has never had any contact with their bank, know about them?
Could it be that he really had the ability to predict the future? At this moment, Daniel was shaken.
Li Yi saw all the changes in Daniel's expression. He said immediately: "I can't reveal too much about the specific situation, but I can tell you that this accident will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back, and will eventually lead to your bank's complete destruction!"

Daniel couldn't hold it in any longer this time. He said anxiously, "Li, please help us. We won't let you help us for nothing. How about 1 million pounds? As long as you..."

Before he could finish, Li Yi interrupted him and said, "Mr. Daniel, this is not about money. You have to know that the impact of changing the future is too great. It is not something an ordinary person like me can afford, let alone 100 million pounds, even 10 billion pounds is not enough!"

Although 100 million pounds is a lot, Li Yi wants more than that.

Hearing this, Daniel's expression quickly turned gloomy.

At this time, Old George next to him couldn't help but say, "Li, is it true that the bankruptcy of Xinfeng Bank cannot be changed?" "That's not the case, it's just..."

Seeing that Li Yi seemed to be in a dilemma, Old George hurriedly said, "Just what, Li, do you have any solution?"

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "There is a solution, but now is not the time to talk about it!"

"When can we tell?"

"Half a year, it will be fine after half a year!"

Li Yi knew that the last straw that broke the camel's back for Xinfeng Bank was the Brinkmart gold robbery. His solution had to be considered after the robbery so that it could play the greatest role.

As for the reason, it is very simple. Li Yi wants to be the world-famous Bian Que, rather than being like his two unknown brothers.

According to the Records of the Grand Historian, King Wen of Wei asked Bian Que, "Who among you three brothers has the best medical skills?"

Bian Que replied: "My eldest brother is the best, my second brother is the second best, and my medical skills are the worst."

King Wen of Wei asked again: "Then why are you the most famous?"

Bian Que replied: "My elder brother treats diseases before they occur, when most people are unaware of the disease. He directly removes the cause of the disease, so there will be no subsequent disease. No one will really think that he is a great doctor."

"My second brother treats patients when they are just ill. Most people think he can only treat minor illnesses, so his fame is limited. My medical skills are average, and I only treat patients when their illnesses become serious. Most people think that I am the one who relieves their pain and has the most advanced medical skills, so I am the most famous."

Xinfeng Bank is now like a seriously ill patient, but all the senior executives including Daniel do not know how dangerous the company's situation is. If Li Yi takes action now and solves all the problems, I am afraid no one will think how great he is.

Therefore, only after the great gold robbery occurred, the entire Xinfeng top management would realize his value.

By then, it will be much easier for Li Yi to make another request.

Therefore, Li Yi has to be a hero who turns the tide, rather than a strategist who takes precautions before problems arise!
The gold robbery took place in November, which is exactly half a year ago.

Daniel thought for a moment, then said, "Li, does it have to be half a year later?"

"Yes, but before that I can help you stabilize the situation, at least to ensure that your bank's financial situation does not continue to deteriorate!" Li Yi said.

"Really?" Daniel asked hurriedly.

He took the initiative to come this time because he was impressed by Li Yi's strong investment ability. If he could cooperate with him, he would definitely be able to turn around the company's unfavorable situation.

"Of course it's true. I just talked to Mr. George about the investment plan in London. If Mr. Daniel and HSBC Bank are interested, they can also participate!" Li Yi said.

"Of course I'm interested!"

Li Yi nodded and said: "In this case, let's talk about the next investment plan!"

"It's my honor!" Daniel said excitedly.

Afterwards, under the leadership of Old George, several people came to a very private reception room inside the manor to discuss the next investment plan.

With the participation of the George family, Daniel and HSBC Bank, Li Yi's investment in London is about to begin.
