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

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed!
In the past few days, with the mediation of Calvin and Daniel, Li Yi finally reached a reconciliation with the Conservative Party.

Of course, the premise for reconciliation is that the Conservative Party fully accepts the three demands put forward by Li Yi, but the way of accepting the conditions is slightly different from Li Yi’s previous requirements.

First of all, regarding the apology, the Conservative Party and Margaret did not come forward, but asked the Governor's Office to apologize to Li Yi, Star Investment Company and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

The Conservative-controlled Weeks company paid a symbolic compensation of 1000 million pounds to Star Investments as compensation for losses and reputation.

Although it seemed a bit like trying to cover up one's own faults, it managed to save some face. In order not to affect subsequent plans, Li Yi finally accepted their apology and compensation.

Secondly, in accordance with the agreement, the British Empire officially issued a financial license to Star Investment Company and guaranteed that it would not interfere with Star’s normal operations within the empire.

Finally, stop all unfriendly behavior, including lifting the surveillance on Li Yi and employees of Xingchen Company.

After the other party met his three demands, Li Yi publicly stated that he and his team came to London to invest and would not participate in any rectification activities, including this election.

This can be regarded as a reassurance to the royal family and the Conservative Party. After all, public figures like him still have a sense of dignity. Once they have made a public statement, it is unlikely that they will go back on their words.

But during the negotiations between the two sides, the Labor Party also learned about this, and many of their important figures wanted to meet with Li Yi through various channels.

Some even offered Li Yi some very favorable conditions for cooperation, but they were all rejected by Li Yi.

As a hacker, Li Yi was very clear about the result of this election. Margaret won the election with an overwhelming advantage in public opinion and was re-elected with a strong force, becoming the most famous prime minister in the history of the British Empire.

The opponent, the Labour Party, lost so miserably that it almost collapsed.

Because in this general election, the Labour Party only won 27.6% of the votes, lost more than 300 million voters, and lost 160 seats in Parliament.

This is the worst result achieved by the Labour Party since the First World War, which has made many people very dissatisfied with the current party leader Michael and even caused a split within the Labour Party.

You have to know that the traditional elements in the Labour Party have always been moderate. Like the traditional elements in the Conservative Party, they are deeply desperate about the result of this election.

After the general election, a large number of people, represented by Jenkins, directly withdrew from the Labour Party and established the Social Democratic Party.

Although this newly formed party was short-lived and later merged with the third largest party, the Liberal Party, it caused heavy losses to the Labor Party, and it took 14 years for the Labor Party to recover from the defeat in this election.

The winner takes it all. As for the party that is destined to lose, Li Yi has no interest in cooperating with them, even if the other party is strong.

Of course, there is another very important reason why Li Yi ignored the requests for cooperation from those people in the Labour Party, and that is that Margaret's re-election is the key to his next investment action.

All this is thanks to Margaret's unremitting efforts to promote privatization policies.

In order to "liberate" producers and consumers at the same time, to improve the international competitiveness of the British Empire, and to gain sufficient political capital, after her re-election, Margaret and the Conservative Party behind her began to liquidate state-owned and state-owned assets and vigorously promote privatization policies.

In the eyes of the Conservatives, almost everything falls under the purview of privatization.

The first is the privatization of small businesses and small groups, in which the government owns part or most of the shares.

Then came the privatization of "natural" monopolies such as telecommunications, energy, and aviation, starting with the sale of Telecom Group in 1984. The government also sold off large shares of state-owned postwar public housing: first to the current occupants, then to everyone.

Between 1984 and 1991, the value of privatized assets in the United Kingdom alone accounted for one-third of the world's total. Privatization was neither right nor wrong for the British Empire, which was on the decline. After all, even if privatization had not been carried out, the once-empire on which the sun never set would have been on the road to decline, and decline was their inevitable result and final outcome.

Although privatization caused many social problems, the huge profits obtained from the sale of state-owned assets enabled the national economy to achieve great development in the next decade.

None of this is important. What is important is that the privatization promoted by Margaret was a carnival in the global capital market. When state-owned enterprises with bright prospects were put on the shelves and packaged for sale, all the capital went crazy.

This is because these state-owned enterprises not only have very low valuations, but also have very good market prospects. In fact, as long as you can buy them, you can make a lot of money by resell them.

Therefore, this time Li Yi brought such a large team and funds to London just for these high-quality state-owned assets of the British Empire.

That's why, Margaret ****, if those lunatics from the Labour Party win the general election, his plans will be completely ruined.

Therefore, even if the royal family and the Conservative Party did not make concessions, Li Yi would not come forward to attack Margaret, nor would he cooperate with the Labour Party.

Since Li Yi did not make trouble and even helped the Conservative Party point out several fatal loopholes in their campaign plan, Margaret defeated the Labour Party in the following election debates and the situation was very good.

The Labour Party was already at a disadvantage, and their campaign plan was so disappointing that a large number of supporters directly switched to the Conservative Party.

As one side gained strength while the other lost strength, the Labour Party's situation became increasingly difficult. By early June, almost everyone realized that the Labour Party might not be able to prevent Margaret from being re-elected.

While the Conservative Party and the Labour Party were fighting to the death for the position of Prime Minister, Li Yi, together with Pang Feiyan, Yang Qian, Zhang Qiu Sheng and others, started a buying spree in the London stock market.

Li Yi would buy any stock of any company related to the Conservative Party, and he would buy as many as he could.

In just less than half a month, the four teams poured 133 billion pounds into the London stock market, almost one-third of their funds.

It’s just that at the beginning, people didn’t know what Li Yi was thinking. Except for a few people who followed the trend and bought, most people were just waiting and watching.

But as the Conservative Party's advantage became more and more obvious, the stocks of the companies that Li Yi had acquired all skyrocketed, and people then discovered Li Yi's intentions.

Soon, those retail investors and even brokerage institutions all targeted Li Yi's team. As long as the stocks were purchased by Li Yi's team, these people would scramble to buy them.

These people's crazy following directly affected Li Yi's investment plan, causing many companies' stocks to be snatched away by these followers, and their investment speed quickly slowed down.

Of course, there are pros and cons. These people's crazy following has pushed up the stock prices of some companies, and even made some high-quality stocks directly enter a soaring mode.

Li Yi saw this situation and was happy about it.

If these people were not crazy, who would take over the stocks he acquired?

So, follow the trend.
Just as the securities market was in turmoil, a new round of general elections in the British Empire also reached its white-hot stage.

On June 6, after three months of fierce battles, the general election finally came to an end.

The British government then officially announced the results of the general election. The Conservative Party represented by Margaret won 397 seats in the general election and officially won the election. Margaret was successfully re-elected and started her second term as prime minister.

When the election results came out, the stock market, which had been pent up for more than a month, exploded
