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

On June 1983, 6, the election results came out!
The Conservative Party, led by Margaret, had gained great prestige from the victory in the Falklands War and used economic reform as its campaign plan, winning the support of a large number of voters. It successfully defeated the Labour Party headed by Michael and was successfully re-elected.

Although many people had anticipated this result in the later stages of the election, the entire British Empire was still in an uproar when the results were announced.

People expect this female prime minister to lead the country out of the quagmire of economic downturn, restore the British Empire to its former glory and make it great again.

This was most evident in the stock market. With Margaret's re-election, the already restless stock market could no longer be suppressed and went straight into a soaring mode.

In particular, the stocks of those conglomerates controlled by or supporting the Conservative Party have skyrocketed.

仅仅6月9日当天，伦敦股市有112支股票的价格暴涨了10%，涨幅超过20%的股票则是有47支。

As for stocks with an increase of less than 10%, there are countless of them.

From this we can see that Margaret's re-election was what everyone expected, and it was she who gave the people great confidence.

In the following week, as Margaret's new government began to fulfill its campaign promises, a considerable number of listed companies began to reap the benefits of the policy, share prices continued to rise, and the entire London stock market entered a carnival mode.

Of course, some are happy while others are worried. While companies that support the Conservative Party are making a lot of money, those consortiums and companies that support the Labour Party are in trouble.

Since the political party they supported did not win the election, it was naturally unable to formulate policies and regulations that would be beneficial to the development of their companies, and the stock prices of quite a few companies fell.

More importantly, after the election results were announced, the Labour Party fell into internal strife, and many veterans were very dissatisfied with the performance of the current party leader Michael.

Especially regarding his campaign plan, some even commented that it was a suicide statement of the Labour Party.

But Michael did not think that the defeat in the election was not his fault. After internal negotiations failed, it eventually turned into an internal conflict of astonishing scale.

This situation has had a greater impact on the consortiums and companies that support the Labour Party, and their share prices have continued to fall.

Fortunately, the economy of the British Empire is now fully recovering. Even if the Labour Party's companies decline due to political reasons, the decline will be limited and will not affect the normal operation of these companies, let alone cause them to go bankrupt.

In mid-June, as the stock price gradually stabilized, Li Yi ordered various investment teams to start closing their positions.

But in order not to cause panic among investors, Li Yi used a trick that his ancestors had inherited for the London investors - escaping from the trap.

While he had people continue to buy the stocks of those companies, he also conducted inspections of some key companies under the coordination of Sandy, Daniel, Calvin and others, and acted as if he was going to take full control of these companies.

During this period, major newspaper media reported Li Yi's itinerary in full.

As the situation developed, the stock prices of some companies continued to rise as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Li Yi asked his team to continue to push up the stock price, attracting retail investors and other brokerage institutions to follow suit.

At the same time, he asked Dolson's team to quietly sell the stocks they had previously acquired and start cashing out.

Since Xingchen Investment Company held too many stocks, the cashing process was very slow. It took the entire team more than 20 days to sell all the stocks in their hands without causing too much fluctuation in the stock price.

On July 7, after the team sold the last stock in their hands, Li Yi’s first phase of investment in London finally ended.

Afterwards, Li Yi held a summary meeting at the station.
London. Royal Hotel!
The large conference room on the top floor of the hotel was bustling with people and the sound of conversation was everywhere, like a huge vegetable market.

However, unlike ordinary vegetable markets, everyone in the conference room was very happy, even a little excited.

A considerable number of them are old employees of Xingchen Investment Company. They have previously followed Li Yi and others to invest in London, New York and other places, so they naturally know what the summary meeting means.

On the one hand, it means that the investment project has been successfully completed, and on the other hand, it means that rewards should be given according to merit.

Mr. Li, the company's president, has always been generous. After every successful investment, he would reward the team members handsomely. How could they not be excited?

Just as the employees were discussing the profitability of the investment and how the company would reward them, the half-closed door of the conference room was pushed open from outside.

Then, everyone saw Li Yi striding in, surrounded by several senior executives of the company.

I don't know who started it, but first the people in the front row began to applaud, and then more and more people started applauding, and the applause became louder and louder.

Soon, the originally messy conference room turned into a sea of ​​applause that lasted for a long time.
Li Yi, Dolson, Zhang Zhen, Pang Feiyan, Yang Qian, Zhang Qiu Sheng, Liang He and others came to the front row of the conference room and sat down according to the order of their table signs.

After sitting down, Li Yi first raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

Then, he said loudly: "Today we are gathered here for three main things. The first is to summarize the investment situation in the first phase, the second is to reward the merits, and the third is to arrange the investment tasks for the next phase."

"Next, please invite the leaders of the four major teams to report on the investment status of their respective teams. Please welcome them with applause!"

"clap clap"

After a round of warm applause, Pang Feiyan, the most senior of the four team leaders, stood up first and said, "Boss Li, colleagues, our team is responsible for acquiring the stocks of British Petroleum, Second Textile Company, and Bailey Company. We have invested a total of 78 billion pounds. As of this morning, all the stocks have been sold, and we have raised a total of 119 billion yuan, with a pre-tax profit of 41 billion yuan, and a return on investment of 52%."

Before he finished speaking, warm applause broke out again in the conference room!
After the applause died down, Zhang Qiusheng, the leader of the second team, stood up and said, "Our team is mainly responsible for acquiring the stocks of the group companies directly controlled by the Conservative Party. We invested a total of 66 billion pounds in this investment operation, and made a pre-tax profit of 36 billion, with a return on investment of 54.5%."

"Mr. Li, our team is responsible for the acquisition of financial company stocks. We have invested a total of 74 billion pounds and made a profit of 38 billion, with a return on investment of 51.3%." Yang Qian also stood up and reported.

Then, the leader of the last team, Liang He, stood up and reported: "Mr. Li, our team is responsible for investing in the British Empire Public Service Company. Compared with the other teams, the stock price of the companies in our sector has not increased much, with an average increase of only about 25%. We have invested 55 billion pounds and made a profit of only 17 billion, with a return on investment of only 30.9%."

After Liang He finished his report, Li Yi immediately stood up and said, "In just one and a half months, we have made a profit of more than 130 billion pounds. Although it is before tax, such a record is absolutely amazing. You can give your applause to yourselves!"

As he spoke, Li Yi took the lead in clapping his hands.

The other people in the conference room followed suit and applauded. For a moment, the whole conference room was filled with thunderous applause, as if the roof was about to be blown off.
