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

London. Suburbs!

In the luxurious castle, Li Yi slowly got down from the car and walked into their place in London surrounded by Li Yunbao and others. Zhang Ziqiang, Zhou Wen, Pang Feiyan, Liang He and others also followed closely behind!

This old castle is owned by the Li family and was purchased by Li Yunbao's grandfather.

Usually the house is taken care of by the housekeeper and servants, and only the Li family will move in after they arrive here.

After Li Yunbao and others arrived here, they regarded this castle as a temporary stop. After all, if they were to stay in a hotel or something, it might be difficult to use the telegraph machine and it would be easy for others to misunderstand them.

After entering the castle, Li Yunbao first arranged a room for Li Yi.

He originally wanted to give Li Yi the master room with the best lighting, the largest area and the most comfortable space in the castle, but he was rejected by Li Yi.

After choosing a clean and tidy guest room to stay, Li Yi and Li Yunbao went to the conference room of the castle, where Zhou Xinghua, Zhang Qiusheng and others were already waiting for him.

In the conference room, Li Yi took the main seat without hesitation, while Li Yunbao and others sat on both sides of the conference table.

After looking around for a week, Li Yi then asked: "I already understand your situation here. You are doing a good job. Tell me about the current situation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qiusheng straightened up and said: "Li Sheng, I am in charge of futures investment. The price of steel here has risen to 248 pounds per ton. We hold a total of 152 million futures contracts in our hands, and we have made a profit on the books. £14.4 billion!"

"The price of copper has risen to 1679 pounds per ton, which is 101 pounds per ton higher than our average purchase price. Our copper futures investment made a profit of 3.03 million pounds on our books!"

"The price of aluminum is currently 1220 pounds per ton, which is 53 pounds per ton higher than the average price we purchased. Our book profit is HK$2.37 million! This time we came to London for 18 days and made a total profit of 19.8 billion pounds from futures investment!"

After finishing speaking, both Zhang Qiusheng and other people in the conference room looked excited.

Profit of nearly 18 billion in 20 days, more than [-] million a day!
The most important thing is that the unit is still pounds. If converted into Hong Kong dollars, it is a full 17 billion!

However, unexpectedly, Li Yi just nodded lightly after listening, and then looked at Zhou Xinghua aside.

He learned from Li Futiao that Secretary Zhou was now responsible for acquisitions in the spot market.

Seeing Li Yi looking at him, Zhou Xinghua immediately stood up and said: "Li Sheng, in accordance with your request, we have launched a comprehensive acquisition of steel on the British Isles market. So far, we have purchased more than 900 million tons of high-quality steel. , with a total profit of more than 6000 million pounds!"

Li Yi nodded and asked again: "How is the rise in the futures market now?"

"Since the Navy's performance on the battlefield is not very good, the stock market and futures market have seen an obvious rise in the past few days!" Zhou Xinghua said.

The main reason why the stock market and futures market will rise if the army performs poorly on the front line is that if the army performs poorly, it means that the war will not end in the short term.

If this war becomes a war of attrition, the resources the country needs to consume in this war will increase significantly, and may even become a bottomless pit.

Then at this time, the prices of various war materials on the market will rise significantly!

Some people may say, isn’t this just trying to enrich the country?
Yes, but in Western capitalist countries, as long as it is legal.

As for patriotism and collectivism, people don’t care!

Li Yi was silent for a moment, and then said: "I already understand the situation, and now I will announce a few things!"

Hearing this, everyone's attention focused on Li Yi again, but Li Yi's next words confused everyone present.

"Yinbao, Secretary Zhou, Manager Zhang, your mission has been completed. From now on, all of you will stay in the manor. No one can leave without my order. All work will be handed over to Manager Pang, Liang He and others. People are responsible!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qiusheng frowned and said, "Li Sheng, why is this? Do you not trust us?"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Yunbao on the side said: "Shut up and apologize immediately!"

"Master." Zhang Qiusheng wanted to explain something, but Li Yunbao said again: "Our current success is the result of Brother Yi's command. I believe he did this for a reason. It's not that he doesn't trust us, so you Must apologize”

Li Yi saw this scene and was very satisfied with Li Yunbao's actions.

"Rainbow, that's it!"

Then Li Yi looked at Zhang Qiusheng and said: "If I didn't trust you, tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in funds would not be handed over to you for operation. This amount of money is equivalent to more than half of the cash flow of our Chinese Chamber of Commerce. You understand what this means. What are you wearing?"

"If our investment fails this time, the operation of almost all companies and families in the entire Chinese Chamber of Commerce will be affected. Do you still think I don't trust you?"

Zhang Qiusheng hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry Li Sheng, I was wrong!"

Li Yi nodded and said: "The reason why I asked you not to go out for the time being and let others take over your work is mainly because Dolson and others have also arrived in London, and I don't want him to know your existence!"

"Li Sheng, do you want Dolson and others to be the receivers?" Zhang Qiusheng said thoughtfully.

He is a smart man. When Li Yi said this, he knew the meaning behind the words.

Once Dolson and others are made aware of their existence and investigate that they have begun acquiring copper, iron, and aluminum contracts in the futures market a long time ago, they will surely guess something.

Based on Dolson's understanding of them, if he sees them shipping, there is a high probability that they will not take over the order, and may even run away with them.

Li Yi said lightly: "I haven't thought about this, but if Dolson knows that we have invested all that money, he might attack our company on Hong Kong Island!"

"Didn't it mean that both of us have signed a settlement agreement and agreed on a high amount of liquidated damages? What are they doing?"

Before Li Yunbao could finish speaking, Li Yi shook his head and said, "You are too naive. Do you think that contract can ensure that everything is worry-free?"

"Can't you?"

"Of course not. If he wants to cause trouble, there are countless ways. For example, he can just transfer a financial team from here to handle the matter. Do you have any evidence that this matter has anything to do with him?"

Then Li Yi continued: "Furthermore, the British-owned groups have many allies in East Asia and Southeast Asia. If Dolson asks them to take action, can we blame Dolson? The Hong Kong Governor's Office and the City Hall will support us. ?"

"This"

Li Yi said again: "That agreement was just made by us for outsiders to see. We told those people not to stir up trouble, especially after we all came here!"

"hiss!"

Li Yunbao and others couldn't help but take a breath. If Li Yi hadn't told them this, they would never have imagined that there were so many twists and turns.

After a long time, Li Yunbao said with a hint of resentment: "Brother Yi, do you usually look at me like a fool?"

"No, I just feel that there is a trace of clear stupidity in your eyes occasionally!" Li Yi said with a smile.

Li Yunbao: @#￥%……&
Zhou Xinghua: @#￥%
After a while, Li Yunbao looked at Li Yi and said, "Brother Yi, we have almost spent our money, so what are you going to do next?"

"Check things out!" Li Yi said.

"Check what?"

Li Yi smiled slightly, and then said: "Sheffield Steel United Company!"

Everyone, Wen Yan, was confused again.
