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

Stock exchange. Hall!

The white old man walked up to Li Yi with his head held high, then stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Li from the East. Let me introduce myself. My name is Royce."

Before he could finish, Li Yi said in a cold tone: "I'm not interested in knowing your name. I just want to know if you found them here?"

Putting aside other things, the timing of the appearance of the white old man in front of him was too strange. He came just when the bastard who wrongly accused Jiang Longcheng was about to give out the person behind the scenes. This was definitely not a coincidence.

Royce did not deny it, but said apologetically: "Li, I'm sorry to get to know you in this way. Please rest assured that we have no ill intentions!"

"Haha, you find someone to frame us and claim that you have no ill intentions. Do you think I will believe it?" Li Yi said in a deep voice.

"Li, we just want to discuss cooperation with you, but you rejected us several times. We have no choice but to do this!" Royce said.

Li Yi looked at Royce, then frowned and said, "Are you from the Labor Party?"

He has been in London for almost a week, and during this time many people have wanted to meet him through various channels, including not only business elites but also some political celebrities.

The most anxious among them are those from the Labour Party. They want to cooperate with Li Yi to prevent Margaret from being re-elected.

After all, everyone knows the relationship between Li Yi and the Conservative Party, so they believe that Li Yi does not want Margaret to be re-elected. Adhering to the idea that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, they come to Li Yi again and again, hoping to cooperate with him.

But unfortunately, Li Yi didn't want to get involved in their party disputes at all. No matter who came to deliver the message or any heavyweight of the Labour Party came to visit, he refused to meet them.

"Li, it's good to talk to a smart person like you. It can save you a lot of trouble."

Royce then said again: "I am indeed a member of the Labour Party. I came here just to talk to you. I don't know..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yi said in a cold voice: "I'm not interested. I won't cooperate with a group of people who only use despicable means. Now take these bastards and get out now!"

After saying that, Li Yi turned around and left the scene, leaving Royce standing there with an embarrassed look on his face.

He originally planned to wait until the matter got out of hand, then personally come forward to help them settle the matter, and then appear in front of Li Yi and others as a benefactor.

In this way, discussing cooperation will be much easier.

But no one expected that Li Yi's mind was so meticulous that he could see the truth of the matter at a glance, and in less than two minutes he forced the people he found to kneel down and beg for mercy, forcing him to show up early.

Before coming out, he thought about Li Yi's various reactions and also thought that he might be very angry, but he never expected that Li Yi would be so disrespectful to him.

This made Royce feel very embarrassed. He looked at the receding backs of Li Yi and others with anger, but he could do nothing about it.

Just as he was thinking about how to save the situation, the lunch break bell rang.

The people who were watching the fun dispersed when they saw that there was nothing to eat.
After Li Yi and others returned to the VIP room, Jiang Longcheng immediately said, "Brother-in-law, are you going to let those bastards go so easily?"

"Then what do you want to do?" Li Yi asked back.

"Those bastards falsely accused me of innocence. They must pay the price. I won't be willing to let them go just like that!" Jiang Longcheng said.

Li Yi shook his head and said, "Third brother, you have to know that if you want the other party to pay the price, you must have the corresponding strength, otherwise you can only hold it in. The water is too deep and the wind is too strong. If you don't have the strength, don't talk too much!"

After hearing this, Jiang Longcheng fell silent.

He somewhat understood what Li Yi meant. Now they were in a foreign country, surrounded by powerful enemies. Even if they knew that others were framing him, they could only endure it. After all, even if the police came, the worst that could happen was to lock up those little bastards who came forward to frame him for a few days, which was not very meaningful at all.

At this moment, Jiang Longcheng felt frustrated, but at the same time he was full of desire for strength.

Just as Jiang Longcheng was deep in thought, Sandy on the side spoke up: "Li, you can actually talk to Royce, maybe you will become friends, after all, you have a common opponent!"

"Sandy, you are wrong. Sometimes the enemy of my enemy may not necessarily become my friend!" Li Yi said lightly.

Li Yi was very clear about Royce's purpose in looking for him. With the general election approaching, both the Conservative Party and the Labour Party were trying every means to attack each other and win the election.

Although the Labour Party was very powerful, it was still defeated by the Iron Lady, so when these people learned that he had arrived in London, they wanted to win him over.

But Li Yi had no interest in this. Although Margaret Thatcher was ruthless and unscrupulous, she was a normal person.

But those people in the Labour Party are completely different. It's as if they have lost their brains. They are obviously a group of extremely smart people, but they lack political acumen.

This can be clearly seen from the current general election. Just when Margaret proposed her famous campaign plan of a package of privatization reforms, these people in the Labour Party shamelessly launched a campaign plan that was out of step with the times in the general election.

Their agenda was an attempt not only to overthrow Thatcherism but also to undo the concessions made by previous Labour governments.

If they succeed, the British Empire might withdraw from the international economic stage, with no more plans for privatization, open markets, "Europeanization" or other foreign characteristics.

In short, these left-wing English petty citizens, led by Labour Party leader Michael, attempted to hide in the walls of a closed economy, ignoring opposition and accusations from others and going their own way in order to ultimately build a New Jerusalem.

Therefore, in Li Yi's eyes, although Margaret is a little annoying, she is a respectable and admirable person.

As for those people in the Labour Party at the moment, they are just a bunch of idiots with no vision and are nothing.

"Li, although I don't know why you hate the Labour Party so much, you should know that the Labour Party has a great influence in the British Empire's political arena. You have already offended the Conservative Party headed by Margaret. If you offend the Labour Party again, this..."

Li Yi knew what Sandy was worried about. It was just that the old enemy had not been eliminated and a new enemy had been made. It was no big deal!

"Don't worry, there are no absolute friends or absolute enemies in this world, only absolute interests."

Then Li Yi continued: "Whether it's the Conservative Party or the Labour Party, their attitude towards me is not fixed. Maybe tomorrow I will have a drink with Margaret. Who can say for sure?"

After hearing Li Yi's words, Sandy, Dolson, Daniel and others all showed thoughtful expressions.

After a long while, Sandy said again: "Lee, although what you said makes sense, I still think you shouldn't reject Royce so directly. If the Labor Party wins the election this time, we will be passive!"

Li Yi was very satisfied with Sandy's words, not only because of his genuine concern, but more importantly, Sandy used the word "we" when speaking.

Obviously, he has already regarded himself as a part of the star system.

At that moment, Li Yi smiled and said, "Believe me, the winner of this election will definitely be Margaret. As for those people in the Labor Party, I heard that they will lose miserably."

Seeing Sandy, Daniel and others showing curious eyes and eager to ask, Li Yi immediately changed the subject and said again: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. It's almost time. I think Mr. Calvin has arrived. Let's go over there and don't keep him waiting!"

After saying that, Li Yi stood up and walked towards the outside of the stock exchange.
