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

Chapter 660 I'm Not Fighting Alone!
Connaught Place. Jardine House!

While investors in Xingchen Building were reveling in the ultra-high yields, Li Yi brought Zhao Xinlan, Li Yunbao and others to the Jardine headquarters.

He has only one purpose for coming here this time - to pay off his debt!
That’s right, it’s about paying off debt!
When competing with the Jardine Matheson Group for the New Territory Warehouse, due to insufficient funds, the final 2100 million shares were all blank checks given to Powell.

Now that you have money, it’s time to pay off your debt!

When Powell received Li Yi's call, he also took it very seriously. He immediately summoned the company's executives and waited for the arrival of Li Yi and others at the Jardine headquarters.

The God of Wealth is here, don’t dare to neglect him!

In fact, before this, many people in the Jardine Department were worried about whether Xingchen Company would regret it.

Although they both made clear stipulations on the liability for breach of contract by both parties when signing the contract, the current situation is that due to the impact of the general environment, both the property market and the stock market on Hong Kong Island have plummeted.

Especially in the past few days, the other side suddenly dispatched warships to seize more than 20 coast guard ships of the British Hong Kong government. This caused the Hong Kong Island property market and stock market, which felt the "threat of war", to be hit hard again. Property prices were cut in half again. The stock market was also shaky, and many companies The stock price has dropped to one-tenth of its original value.

Under such circumstances, the stock price of New Territory Warehouse was inevitably affected. From the previous high price of HK$110 per share, it plummeted to HK$55 per share, almost halved.

If Li Yi fulfills the contract at this time, based on the current stock price, they will need to lose at least HK$11 billion.

And if he breaks the contract, he will only have to pay less than 5 million in liquidated damages.

There is a gap of 6 million Hong Kong dollars. It is not difficult at all to choose. Even Powell and others are mentally prepared for Li Yi to regret the breach of contract.

But what they didn't expect was that instead of returning, Li Yi called them on the day of the company's dividend distribution and said he wanted to pay the debt. This moved Powell and others to death.

Good man!
Therefore, before Li Yi and others arrived, Powell personally led a group of executives from the Jardine Group to greet them at the entrance of the headquarters, which gave Li Yi enough face.

After the simple and warm welcome ceremony, everyone came to the conference room of Jardine Matheson Group to formally carry out the final payment process of the New Territories Warehouse equity acquisition transaction.

Although this transaction involves HK$23 billion, since the contract has been signed, this time Li Yi just paid the owed acquisition money to Jardine Matheson Group, so the whole process is very simple.

After paying the money, the transaction is completely completed!
Both parties are very satisfied with this transaction.

For the Jardine Matheson Group, if Powell had not made a decisive decision to sell all the New Territories Warehouse shares held by the Jardine Matheson Group to Li Yi two months ago, they would have suffered heavy losses now.

In other words, Powell's move not only protected the Jardine Department from the retaliation of Li Yi and Xingchen Company, but also avoided the company's heavy losses. This transaction was really worth it.

For Li Yi, what he values ​​​​is the huge potential of New Territories Warehouse in the future.

It doesn't matter whether he makes money or not now, even if the stock price plummets, causing heavy losses on his previous investments.

He knew that after Hong Kong's economic recovery a few years later, the property and stock markets would skyrocket.

Companies like New Territory Warehouse, which holds a large amount of land and high-quality properties, will see their stock prices rise ten to twenty times.

One Hong Kong dollar invested now will be earned back dozens of times in a few years.

Therefore, in Li Yi's view, your Jardine Group may not lose money, but I will definitely make a profit!
Since both parties were very happy about this cooperation, after finishing the official business, Powell invited Li Yi to sit in his office for a while, and Li Yi agreed.

In the reception room of the office, Powell poured coffee for Li Yi and said, "Li, thank you very much for fulfilling our agreement. If you regret it, my situation in the company will be passive!"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Powell, I just did something I thought was right!"

"As a businessman, it is right to pursue maximizing profits, but you must have the most basic integrity. In the words of you Westerners, you must have the spirit of contract, otherwise you will not be able to go far!"

"Li, what you said is great, but it's a pity that in the face of such huge interests, there are not many people who can keep the bottom line."

Then Powell said again: "To be honest, if I change my position, I may not be able to do it, so I admire your character very much." Li Yi did not smile or continue to struggle with this matter, but Looking at Powell, he said: "I heard that someone was planning to remove you as the general manager some time ago. It seems that the other party did not succeed?"

There was a trace of sarcasm on Powell's face, and then he said: "The Sassoon family also knows these dirty tricks, but he forgot that this is Hong Kong Island, and the tactics they played in Europe will not work here."

"Just like what happened two days ago, they thought they were perfect, but in the end they failed miserably. Li, you did a great job!"

The fact that Dawson failed to plot against Li Yi and instead tricked the Hong Kong Governor's Office may be hidden from ordinary people, but it definitely cannot be hidden from business tycoons like Powell.

What's more, he himself has countless connections with the British-owned group, even if Dolson doesn't want him to know about it.

Li Yi nodded and said: "Powell, you are right. Unscrupulous methods may gain the upper hand for a while, but they cannot be popular forever!"

Suddenly Powell said with a mysterious face: "Li, I have some good news for you!"

"What good news?"

"Dolson is punished!"

"Oh, who was punished and what kind of punishment?" Li Yi asked curiously.

"Of course he was punished by the senior officials of the Sassoon family, and he was disqualified from being the heir!" Powell said with a smile, with a look of gloating on his face.

"so serious?"

"Yes, but it's understandable!"

Then Powell continued: "Because of his reckless actions, he not only broke the balance in the Far East that London tried to maintain, causing the situation in the Far East to suddenly become tense, but also caused the British-owned group that was already alienated from Germany to completely alienate Germany and almost fall apart! "

"The prestige that the Sassoon family has built up in Hong Kong Island over decades has been completely destroyed by him and his uncle. Such a punishment is already very light!"

"It's your own fault!"

Then Li Yi asked again: "Will he leave Hong Kong Island?"

"Probably not, he still needs to clean up this mess on Hong Kong Island!" Powell said.

"That's good. If he leaves, I have to go to Europe to find him. It's too troublesome. It's better to stay!" Li Yi said lightly.

Hearing this, Powell's heart was slightly shaken.

Li Yi's words were too obvious. It was obvious that he had no intention of letting Powell go.

"Li, although I am happy to see you deal with that son of a bitch, I still want to remind you that the Sassoon family behind that guy is very powerful."

Then Powell said again: "No, it should be particularly scary. If possible, try not to conflict with them head-on. That is not a wise choice!"

Li Yi said calmly: "Thank you for the reminder, but there is an old saying among us flower growers, anyone who offends my strong man will be punished no matter how far away he is!"

"The family behind Dolson may be powerful, but behind me are 10 billion compatriots. I am not fighting alone!"

Powell was silent for a moment, and then said: "I understand, if you need anything in this matter, I will try my best to help you!"

"Okay, if there is really a need, I will definitely speak up!"

"it is good"
