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

Chapter 718 Brother-in-law, help me figure it out!
"Boom!"

A rapid knock on the door interrupted the conversation between Li Yi and Li Yunbao!

Li Yi's voice paused for a moment before he immediately said to the door: "Come in!"

As the door of the reception room was pushed open, Li Yi saw Lan Xinyi walking in with a capable look, but there was a trace of sadness on her face.

Seeing that Li Yunbao was there, Lan Xinyi immediately nodded to him as a greeting.

Li Yunbao also knew her character, and also understood that Lan Xinyi must have something very important to talk to Li Yi. He immediately stood up and said: "Brother Yi, you go first, I'll go out first!"

"Row!"

After Li Yunbao left, Lan Xinyi said immediately: "Boss, there are some things at the head office that I need to ask your permission for!"

"What's the matter, tell me!" Li Yi said.

"It's like this. The news we just received today is that the idle funds on the books of our head office have reached more than 170 billion Hong Kong dollars. Currently, there are no investment projects there that can accept such a large amount of funds, but there are still a large amount of funds every day. Investors have entrusted their funds to us for operation, and the situation is not very good!" Lan Xinyi said.

"170 billion Hong Kong dollars, so much?" Li Yi said with some surprise.

He remembered that after the dividends were distributed two months ago, the money on the company's books was less than 30 billion. Excluding the local taxes that needed to be paid to the British Hong Kong government, the book funds would definitely not exceed 5 million Hong Kong dollars!
Unexpectedly, in just two months, the book funds exceeded 170 billion.

In other words, the company has recruited 165 billion in funds in such a short period of time. This speed is a bit scary!
Lan Xinyi immediately explained: "Since we distributed dividends to the company's shareholders and investors in January, it has caused a huge sensation, and everyone is willing to let us operate their idle funds. In less than two days, Within a few months, we have attracted a huge amount of funds of nearly HK$80 billion!"

"In addition, after the Li family, Bao family, and Luo family distributed the dividends, they handed over half of the dividends to us again. Adding in your and Mr. Huang's money, the idle funds in the company's accounts now have reached more than 170 billion. Got it!"

"More importantly, the money is still increasing. If we can't find suitable investment channels, this money will bring a huge burden to the company!"

Li Yi naturally understands what Lan Xinyi said.

For an investment institution, the ability to recruit funds must be directly proportional to profitability.

Being able to recruit funds is not a skill. Recruiting funds and using them as capital to make profits is a skill.

Otherwise, the funds recruited will become a burden on the company, and the more money recruited, the greater the pressure on the company.

After all, this money is not lent to you for free, and corresponding interest must be paid!

Think about Lehman Brothers, which went bankrupt in 08. Their ability to recruit funds was not weak. The reason why they went bankrupt was because there was a problem with their investment channels.

It can only invest the borrowed money in the overheated real estate market, use large amounts of borrowing to increase returns, and recognize the losses later than other companies, ultimately driving the entire company into the abyss.

"Are all the company's funds in Hong Kong dollars?" Li Yi asked calmly, without any sign of panic.

"Basically, it's mainly in Hong Kong dollars, but Mr. Huang's 4 million is US dollars!"

"Well, you should contact the head office immediately and ask them to keep a small part of the funds for their own use, and convert all the remaining money into pounds for backup!" Li Yi said.

"Yes!"

Then Lan Xinyi said again: "Furthermore, Vice President Huang wants you to go back and take charge of the overall situation as soon as possible. He is a bit busy by himself!"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Tell Lao Huang, I have to stay here for a while, and I have to go to Hong Kong Island in late March at the earliest to let him hold on for a while!"

"Yes"

Then the two chatted about the branch office, and then Li Yi left the Jianguo Hotel.
After coming out of Jianguo Hotel, it was almost noon.

Li Yi immediately decided to go home for dinner first and talk about other things in the afternoon.

Just as the car returned to the entrance of the alley, Li Yi saw a jeep parked arrogantly in front of his house, almost blocking the entire alley.

Even without looking at the license plate, Li Yi knew that the car was [-]%. No, at least [-]% probably belonged to Jiang Longcheng.

Sure enough, after pushing the door open and entering, I heard this guy's loud voice coming from a distance.

Several people in the room heard the movement at the door and immediately stood up to check.

Seeing that Li Yi and Zhang Ziqiang were back, Jiang Longcheng strode out immediately.

"Hahaha, brother-in-law, you are finally back!"

"When did you come? Why don't we call in advance?" Li Yi asked with a smile.

"You were still talking about me not long after you came here. If I hadn't gone back to my old house today because of something else, and saw my third aunt there, I would have known that your boy was back!" Jiang Longcheng said. "What? I came back a little late last night, so I didn't bother you!" Li Yi said.

"This reason barely makes sense."

Then several people walked and talked, and soon returned to the house.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Jiang Xue say happily: "The third brother said that he wanted to celebrate the full moon of the child, and he wants us to go there then!"

Li Yi was slightly surprised and said: "Hey, it's the full moon, isn't it?"

"No, there are still about ten days!" Jiang Longcheng said.

"Then what are you worried about?"

Jiang Longcheng grinned and said immediately: "This is not to ask you to make time in advance, so as not to make mistakes again later!"

Li Yi glared at him and said, "Look at what you said, when did I fall off the chain?"

Jiang Longcheng touched his head and said: "It seems that there really isn't. Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. I have other things to ask you for when I come here today!"

"What's the matter?"

"Let's go to your study to talk!" Jiang Longcheng said.

Knowing that Jiang Longcheng might not be comfortable speaking in front of so many people, Li Yi immediately nodded and said, "Okay!"

Then, the two of them walked into the study room in the back room one after another!
After entering the room and sitting down, Li Yi poured water for Jiang Longcheng and said, "What is going on? Can we talk about it now?"

"Well, I want you to help me figure it out!"

Li Yi was stunned at first. If it weren't for Jiang Longcheng's reminder, he would have forgotten that he still had the identity of a magic stick.

Although he really doesn't want to be labeled as a magician all the time, after all, it takes countless lies to cover up a lie, so it's better not to pretend if you can.

But Jiang Longcheng had no doubts about his identity, and he really couldn't refuse him casually.

Thinking of this, Li Yi immediately asked: "Third brother, what do you want to do?"

Jiang Longcheng said immediately: "The organization came to talk to me a few days ago. In view of the achievements I have made in the Second National Cotton Factory in the past two years, they want to transfer me to the Ministry of State-owned Assets and raise my administrative level and salary by one level." !”

"But I don't know much about the work of the Ministry of State-owned Assets, so I'm a little confused. I want you to help me decide whether it's better to stay at the Second State Cotton Factory or go to a ministry."

Li Yi glanced at him, and then said: "You said you went to the old house just now. Did you go to ask the old man?"

"Yeah, but the old man didn't say anything. He just asked me to ask you!" Jiang Longcheng said.

Hearing this, Li Yi fell silent.

The old man is a sensible person. He has clearly seen the purpose of transferring Jiang Longcheng to the Ministry of State-owned Assets. He is a drunkard who does not care about drinking.

To put it bluntly, people are not interested in Jiang Longcheng, but Li Yi.

Everyone knew that the two of them had a good relationship, and with his help, Jiang Longcheng was able to turn the Second National Cotton Factory from losses to profits.

If Jiang Longcheng is brought to the ministry, if anything happens in the future, as long as Jiang Longcheng comes to see him, he can still say no?

Because of this, the old man asked Jiang Longcheng to come to him and let him decide whether to help him or not!
Thinking of this, Li Yi immediately asked: "Third brother, let's forget about this matter. After all, fortune telling is leaking secrets, and I will lose my life."

"Besides, we don't have to worry about such trivial matters. Let me analyze it for you. Is this true?"

"Okay, brother-in-law, tell me!" Jiang Longcheng said.

Li Yi clarified his thoughts, and then said: "If you work in a ministry, you can improve your administrative level and get more salary, which will be good for your career!"

"Staying to work in a cotton spinning factory, the salary is not that high, but you have more freedom, and you alone have the final say in the factory. The specific choice depends on your own decision!"

Jiang Longcheng thought for a while, and then said: "I'd better stay in the Second National Cotton Factory. We don't want to pursue an official career, and we don't lack the money, so why should we make trouble for ourselves?"

"Okay, just think about it yourself."

While the two were talking, they saw Jiang Xue push the door open and walk in, and then said to Li Yi: "Director Zhou is here and is waiting for you in the living room!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yi immediately stood up and walked towards the living room
