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

Chapter 579
The Lin family secretly sent people to the Li family's gold shop to purchase gold. Although it was done very secretly, it could not be hidden from Li Jiuying.

After all, there were so many people buying gold in kilograms all at once in the store, which was obviously not normal.

When most people buy gold these days, they either buy some jewelry or some gold bars of one or two taels for investment or wealth preservation.

There are not many big customers like this who ask for a few kilograms at the first glance.

Moreover, Hong Kong Island is so big. Although there are many rich people, even if the really rich people want to invest in gold, they don’t need to go to gold shops to buy gold. It is not good to go to banks or securities institutions to buy gold financial products. ?

Therefore, Li Jiuying immediately asked people to check the details of those people.

It didn't matter. It was soon discovered that those people were all from a society in Causeway Bay, and this society was inextricably linked to the Lin family.

After a little analysis, the truth will come out!

Later, Li Jiuying did not dare to neglect and immediately reported the situation to Li Yi.

After receiving the news from Li Jiuying, Li Yi responded immediately. He asked Li Jiuying to immediately adjust his strategy and limit the daily shipment volume to no more than [-] kilograms.

At the same time, let him continue to contact the previous sales channels, make a gesture of urgent need for gold, and spread the word that he is willing to purchase gold at a price higher than the market price.

Although Li Jiuying didn't quite understand why Li Yi didn't take advantage of this opportunity to ship a large amount of goods to the Lin family through their Li family gold shop, but instead limited the shipment volume.

But he knew that he was not at the same level as Li Yi in terms of business strategy. He thought that Li Yi might have other considerations in doing so, so he didn't ask any more questions and just followed the instructions.

As soon as the Li family's adjustment announcement came out, Lin Zhengrong, who thought he had hit the Li family's weak spot, felt as if he had been given a shot of blood.

Especially after learning that Li Jiuying was purchasing gold from various channels and offering a high price of US$2200 per ton, Lin Zhengrong believed that his strategy of cutting off supply and buying back the Li family's gold on a large scale had worked.

At the moment, while he was ordering people to continue to buy back the gold sold by the Li Family Gold Shop, he was also seeking credit from the big bosses of the British-owned group.

Taking credit is only one aspect. More importantly, he requested financial assistance from Smith and others.

The Lin family itself is not that big, and its total assets are less than one billion Hong Kong dollars, including fixed assets.

If calculated according to the current exchange rate, this value is only 1.5 million US dollars.

After just eating 1.5 tons of gold from the "Zhou family", the Lin family's liquidity is running low. If they want to comprehensively stop the Li family, they need the support of the British group.

Of course, Lin Zhengrong did this not entirely because of the Lin family's lack of strength. More importantly, he had to guard against Smith and others and had to drag them into the water.

The Li family had been treated as an abandoned son because they were alone in fighting, and as a result, something happened. If Li Jiuying had asked people from the British Group to contribute money and efforts at that time, he would not have been abandoned so easily. .

Therefore, although the Lin family acted as pawns this time, they would not fight alone.

Whether it's Smith or the Jazz, it doesn't matter if you're afraid of getting your hands dirty and don't want to end the game in person, just pay for it!

As long as everyone becomes a true community of interests, Lin Zhengrong will not worry about becoming the second Li Jiuying.

Sure enough, after receiving a call from Lin Zhengrong, HSBC executive Smith immediately stated that they were willing to provide the Lin family with a low-interest loan of HK$[-] million.

However, before the loan from the Lin family was completed, they received another news. The He family, a long-established wealthy family in Hong Kong, had a batch of gold to be liquidated and was looking for a buyer.

What's more important is that as soon as Lin Zhengrong received the news, the spy who was planted in the Li family called.

According to the informant's report, Li Jiuying suddenly withdrew all the funds from the company's account, and also prepared a generous gift to visit He Wendong, the talker of the He family, in the evening.

After learning the news, Lin Zhengrong did not dare to neglect and immediately called Smith to report the situation.

If it were an ordinary family, Lin Zhengrong would definitely go there immediately and never let this gold fall into Li Jiuying's hands.

But this time he met the He family, and he was somewhat powerless.

As a well-known old family in Hong Kong Island, although the Ho family has been in decline over the years, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.With Lin Zhengrong's current status, he still does not have access to big bosses like He Wendong, so he can only turn to Smith and others for help.

The British Group spared no effort to punish the Li family. After receiving Lin Zhengrong's request for help, they immediately made a decision to ask Smith to take Lin Zhengrong to the He family.

At the same time, they reached an internal agreement that no matter how much gold the He family sells this time, as long as there is no problem with the gold, they will eat it all.

After all, gold is hard currency. It is different from stocks and bonds. As long as the supply of goods is good, you don't have to worry about being cheated, unless the price of gold suddenly plummets.

However, the probability of a sudden drop in gold prices is very small, and even if it suddenly falls, it will rise again after a while, and the possibility of losing money is extremely slim.

And what if they lose money? Their British conglomerate has a huge business, so losing a little money is nothing. As long as they can bring down the Li family, it will be worth paying no matter how high the price is.

The reason why people like the British Group hate Li Jiuying so much and want to destroy him at all costs is not just because the betrayal of the Li family makes them look bad.

More importantly, the Li family's betrayal made the British group's plan to suppress the Chinese banking industry, which had been planned for many years, come to nothing.

This touches the fundamental interests of the British-owned group!
As we all know, the most profitable thing on Hong Kong Island is not the transit trade or the processing industry, but the financial industry.

In almost all financial industries, banks are the foundation and an unavoidable link.

Therefore, in the past few decades or hundreds of years, Hong Kong Island has spawned hundreds of thousands of banks, large and small. These banks have Chinese and British capital, and the two sides have been fighting fiercely.

In order to completely control the financial industry of Hong Kong Island and to better harvest leeks, the British-owned groups have continuously used various means to suppress and annex Chinese-owned banks in the past 20 years, including but not limited to asking the British Hong Kong government to personally Ended up as a thug.

After more than 20 years of hard work, almost all Chinese-owned banks in Hong Kong Island have been defeated. The top ten major banks are all controlled by British-owned groups without exception.

Even if all Chinese-owned banks have not collapsed, the remaining ones are still some small banks that are struggling to survive and eat scraps, with no sense of existence.

Therefore, those in the British-owned group believe that they have completely wiped out the Chinese-owned banks in Hong Kong Island, and they will eventually control the financial industry here.

Now they not only control the currency issuance rights of Hong Kong Island, but also control almost all major banks and financial industries. Whether it is the stock market or the property market, it is just their leek field, and they can cut it however they want.

This time, the reason why the British group made trouble for the Li family was not only unkind, but more importantly, they were interested in the 42% shares of Longheng Bank held by the Li family.

Although they used various means to prevent Li Jiuying from serving as the chairman of the board of directors of Longheng Bank, they still could not reassure Jazz and others.

We understand that people who are not of my race must have different minds, and so do the ghosts.

Therefore, they have repeatedly proposed to acquire these shares, even at a premium, but Li Jiuying did not agree.

In this way, Longheng Bank became the only major bank that the British-owned group did not fully control.

Last month, the Li family encountered a crisis. The British group saw an opportunity to take advantage of the Li family. But just when they were preparing to take over the 42% shares of Longheng Bank from the Li family, the Li family betrayed them. .

What the British group didn't expect was that the Li family actually sold their coveted shares to the Li family at a low price, in exchange for a reconciliation between the two parties.

And that bastard Li Futiao took advantage of the plummeting stock price of Longheng Bank to quietly acquire a large number of shares from other shareholders and the stock market. By the time they discovered that the situation was not good, Li Jia had already taken control of Longheng Bank. 76% of the shares.

Subsequently, when the British-owned group was caught off guard, Li Futiao parachuted into Longheng Group, took these equity certificates, and demanded that a shareholders' meeting be convened immediately to reorganize the board of directors.

The current chairman of the board of directors of Longheng Bank holds a measly 17% of the shares. Facing the powerful Li family, he has no choice but to obediently give up the throne of the chairman of the board of directors.

This not only means that they lost control of Longheng Bank, but also means that there is a major loophole in their plan to control the banking industry on Hong Kong Island.

And all this is because of the Li family, because of Li Jiuying, so the people in the British-owned group will spare no effort to wipe out the Li family.

After unifying their opinions, Smith personally prepared the gifts and then headed to He's house with his frontman Lin Zhengrong.

But what they don't know is that the He family's selling of gold is basically a game against them. They are rushing over now, but they are just throwing themselves into a trap!
