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

Huang Yemin has been working in the economic field for so many years and is not one to just get by. After analyzing what Li Yi said before and after, he immediately knew what Li Yi wanted to do.

"Gold is worth foreign exchange. Are you planning to use the government to quickly convert gold into cash?"

Li Yi nodded and said, "Yes, according to my inference, the price of gold will soon bottom out and rebound, and will reach its peak around November, so my people are buying gold on a large scale around the world."

"But I think this wave of gold price increases will not last long, so we must sell all the physical gold on hand before the gold price falls back."

"Why do you need us to cash in the gold? Can't you do it yourselves?" Huang Yemin said.

Li Yi shook his head and said, "No, firstly, we don't have enough sales channels, and the shipment volume is too slow, and we may not be able to keep up with the speed of gold's decline."

"Secondly, if we sell a large amount of gold to the market, it will inevitably cause the gold price to plummet rapidly, which is not conducive to our subsequent plans."

In fact, Li Yi's original idea was to wait until the gold price reached its peak and then sell part of it through HSBC Bank, and then package the rest and mortgage it to the Bank of England or Scotland.

In this way, not only can you cash in the gold in your hands, but you can also cheat those British devils after waiting for the gold price to fall.

But thinking that Margaret's government would soon carry out privatization reforms, if he offended the major banks in the British Isles at this time, it would have a great impact on his future plans.

More importantly, Star Investment Company is now a world-renowned large investment company, and will inevitably have to deal with various banks in the future. If they really cheated several major banks in the British Isles, other banks will probably become very cautious when cooperating with their company in the future.

Therefore, if there are other ways, Li Yi decided not to attack the Bank of England or the Royal Bank first.

Huang Yemin nodded and said, "If the country uses the gold as foreign exchange, the gold will not flow into the market in a short period of time, and the effect will be different, but..."

"Just what?"

"But the risks here are not small. What if the gold price does not rise as you expected, or even falls? Have you thought about the consequences?" Huang Yemin said in a deep voice.

Li Yi smiled and said, "Of course I have thought about it. Investing is like fighting a war. You have to consider failure before you win. But I think even if the gold price does not meet expectations, or even falls, we can afford the cost!"

"After all, the price of gold is about to hit bottom, and there is not much room for it to fall. Even if we let the price of gold fall, a maximum drop of more than ten dollars per ounce is already the limit. What's more, the country is only responsible for spending the gold I sent. Even if there are risks, I will bear them."

Before he finished speaking, Huang Yemin said directly: "We have to take all the risks into consideration. What if we sign a purchase contract with someone, but you don't buy enough gold? We won't have the money to pay for the goods, and that will be troublesome!"

"Not only will this deal a heavy blow to our country's business reputation, making us an international deadbeat, it will also affect our country's national image, which is a huge impact."

"Don't worry about this, Boss. I have already instructed several teams of the company to go to New York, Tokyo, London, Hong Kong Island and other places to purchase physical gold and futures contracts. Even if there is not enough physical gold, we can wait for the futures contracts to be delivered."

Then Li Yi? Continued: "At worst, our company still has more than 30 billion US dollars in funds. If it really comes to that, I can also use the money in the company's account to advance the payment."

Huang Yemin nodded, and then said: "Well, what you said makes sense. The current international gold price is indeed the lowest in the past three years. Even if it falls, there is not much room. But how can you be sure that it will rebound, and how can you be sure that it will reach the peak in November!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "This is a secret, I can't tell you!"

Huang Yemin glared at him, but he also knew the importance of trade secrets. If they were accidentally leaked, the consequences would be very serious.

After all, Li Yi is not just his subordinate, but also the big boss of Xingchen Investment Company. He is responsible for the jobs of tens of thousands of people in the company.

"Okay, since this is a commercial secret, I won't ask this question, but there is one question I must ask clearly!"

"What's the problem?" Li Yi asked.

"Even if our plan succeeds, the tens of billions of dollars have actually been spent. How can you expect the country to pay it back?"

Huang Yemin then said, "Besides, this is also considered as our joint cooperation, so the country must also have a share of the profits. How should the profits be distributed?"

Li Yi immediately said: "Let's talk about the distribution of profits first. Almost all the costs of this cooperation are paid by our company, so the profits can be divided into 10:9 at most, 10% for the country and 90% for us." Before he finished speaking, Huang Yemin frowned and said: "How can that be possible? You let such a big country like us cooperate with you, and you only share one layer of profits. Who are you looking down on, kid?"

"How much do you want?"

"Fifty-fifty split, half for each family!"

"That won't work. All the risks are borne by our company. The country will make a profit without any loss. For such cooperation, the maximum split is 28, with the country taking 20%!" said Li Yi.

"It's a 40% to 60% split, with the state taking 40%. It can't be any less!" said Huang Yemin.

"Director Huang, if you still ask for such an exorbitant price, then just pretend that I have never been here today. Anyway, I can cash out by mortgaging the gold to those foreign banks. If it weren't for increasing some foreign exchange for the country, I would not want to cooperate with you!" Li Yi frowned.

Huang Yemin gritted his teeth and said, "Then we'll split it 70% to 30%, with 30% being the bottom line."

"make a deal!"

Hearing Li Yi's decisive voice, Huang Yemin's heart suddenly beat fast. It seemed that he might have been too careless!
After adjusting his mood a little, Huang Yemin said again: "Let's not talk about other things first. Tell us how you plan to make the country pay back your debt of tens of billions of US dollars!"

That's right, debt.

When the gold is used to pay for various materials and equipment, it will become a real debt of the country, and Li Yi and Xingchen Investment Company will become the country's creditors.

"This is also simple. After deducting the part of the profit that is distributed to the country, the remaining country can be repaid in three parts!" Li Yi said.

"What are the three parts?"

"The first part is to repay about half of the funds with Chinese currency and directly transfer it to the account of Xingchen Investment Company or Xingyao Company. This should not be a big pressure for the country!"

Then Li Yi continued: "The second part is to use domestic enterprises, factories and land and other assets to compensate. To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to Xingchen Investment Company using gold to purchase these enterprises and factories from the country."

"The remaining part can be repaid with the foreign exchange saved by the country, or directly deducted from Warwick's profits!"

After listening to Li Yi's repayment plan, Huang Yemin thought about it carefully and said, "Well, from what you said, this plan is really promising."

"But I definitely can't make the decision on such a big matter alone. Let me report your ideas to Elder Gu and other leaders of the Council of Elders and let them make the decision."

"Row!"

"You should work hard to perfect this plan in the next few days. It would be best if you could have a written report so that it would be convenient for you to report when the leaders ask about it!" Huang Yemin said.

"it is good!"

Then Li Yi suddenly remembered what Gu Lao had said to him yesterday, and immediately changed the subject and said again: "By the way, Director Huang, Gu Lao said that there is something in the department that needs my attention. What is it?"

"It's nothing. The higher-ups have selected a group of talents from various units and universities for Warwick Company. You can take some time to see which ones are suitable!" Huang Yemin said.

Li Yi's eyes lit up immediately, and he smiled and said, "That's great, do you have a list?"

"Have!"

After saying that, Huang Yemin immediately took out a file bag from the drawer of his desk and handed it directly to Li Yi.

But when Li Yi opened the file bag and saw the first name on the list, he was suddenly shocked.

A question popped up in my mind: how could she be on this big list?
