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

The news that Li Yi wanted to acquire the Sheffield Company quickly spread back to the Sassoon family and also to the Sheffield Steel Company.

Both the Sassoon family and other shareholders of the company were angry. They never expected that the hateful guy was not just trying to make money, but was also targeting the company.

This is totally unforgivable for people like them!

We must know that Sheffield Steel Company is not only a cornucopia of wealth for the Sassoon family, but also an important bargaining chip for the family to influence the imperial politics.

In the past few years, they have used this company to exchange interests with certain people in the imperial political arena to benefit the family.

Now asking them to hand over control of the company is no longer as simple as poaching, but digging their ancestral graves!

At that moment, the Sassoon family reacted immediately and rejected Li Yi's acquisition request.

At the same time, after it was determined that Sheffield Steel's expired contracts were less than 1000 million tons and the actual gap was less than 800 million tons, all efforts were immediately mobilized to raise funds and steel to ensure on-time delivery.

In addition, other shareholders of the company also shared the same hatred and decided to tide over the difficulties with the Sassoon family.

After learning about this situation, even front-line workers who had been causing trouble with the management in the past few months temporarily chose to compromise and agreed to resume production.

For a time, the entire Sheffield United Steel Company was united and prepared to jointly defend the company.

However, just when they were full of confidence, an unexpected news spread throughout the London futures market.

On the afternoon of June 6, news came out that Sheffield Company had encountered an unprecedented long squeeze.

But the news that day did not cause much disturbance, and no one took it seriously.

But just one day later, in the early morning of the 22nd, authoritative media such as The Times and the Oxford Gazette once again reported a shocking news in the form of front-page headlines. Sheffield, the largest steel production company in the empire, was going bankrupt!

At the same time, multiple newspapers reported that the Sheffield company encountered an unprecedented long position squeeze, with more than 2000 million tons of spot goods worth nearly 80 billion pounds required to be delivered to long positions within a maximum of five days.

At present, the company's inventory of steel spot is less than 200 million tons, and the company's book funds are less than 5 million pounds. In addition, the 15 billion obtained from mortgage equity and assets is still far from the funds required to "settle the account."

Therefore, it can be said that the possibility of Sheffield Steel defaulting this time is very high, and once the forced position is successful, bankruptcy is almost inevitable.

This news instantly detonated the entire futures market. You must know that in the past two months, three steel companies have gone bankrupt due to bullish pressure.

But even so, before that, everyone still had great confidence in Sheffield United Steel Company.

On the one hand, as the largest steel company in the empire, there is no doubt about the strength of Sheffield Company.

After all, not only do they rank first in production capacity in the country, but they also own many high-quality iron mines around the world.

In addition, in the past few years, this company has used shameless means of manipulating steel prices to cut off investors.

No matter what everyone thinks of their behavior, it is irrefutable that they are indeed strong enough to deal with the crisis.

On the other hand, in the past period, although Sheffield Company has been continuously squeezed by bulls, it has been able to avoid danger time and time again. This also makes many people think that Sheffield Company can tide over the difficulties this time.

Sheffield Steel did not disappoint investors and stockholders. They quickly responded, saying that the company's expiring contracts were less than 1000 million tons, not 2000 million tons as reported.

Although there is indeed a certain gap in the company's inventory, all shareholders have been actively helping themselves, the workers have given up their previous demands and have returned to work, and the company has resumed production.

Sandy, the person in charge of the company, expressed in a high-profile manner that he believed that with the efforts of everyone, the company would be able to overcome the difficulties!
However, their response not only failed to calm the concerns of shareholders and investors, but made them even more panicked.

For shareholders and investors, there is actually no difference between 1000 million tons and 2000 million tons. Anyway, it is certain that the company does not have enough spot stock.

Affected by this, on the 22nd, Sheffield's stock price plummeted 12% in one day, and more investors began to sell their stocks!

For a time, the shareholders of Sheffield Company were all numb.
While Li Yi was killing everyone in the futures market of the British Empire, Jiang Xue, who was far away in the capital, was also working hard for his dream.In the courtyard, Jiang Xue got up early.

After cleaning up briefly, she carried the two babies, Yun Rui and Yun Jin, into the eldest sister's room, and then took Zhang Feng out.

Half an hour later, the two came to an antique building in the city center.

This is the temporary headquarters of Xingchen Investment Company's mainland branch, which was converted from the former office of the Beijing Education Bureau.

At the same time, this is also where Jiang Xue works now. No, more accurately, it is the place where she has an internship.

Under Li Yi's suggestions and arrangements, Jiang Xue now goes to the company's financial department for internship every Saturday and Sunday.

The reason for doing this is that on the one hand, Jiang Xue can learn and adapt to international accounting principles, and on the other hand, Li Yi wants his wife to have a better understanding of the company's situation.

After all, this girl is determined to manage her own money. As the hostess of the family, she must be given a chance no matter what.

Jiang Xue and Zhang Feng arrived at an office with a sign called "Finance Department".

Other people in the room took the initiative to greet her, very enthusiastically.

Everyone knows that this beautiful girl who is always accompanied by a female bodyguard is the real wife of the company boss, the boss's wife.

As soon as she arrived at her desk, Zhou Weiping, the master in charge of taking care of her, came over and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoxue, Director He came here just now and said that you would go to his office after you arrive!"

"Okay, Sister Zhou, I'll be there right away!"

Jiang Xue knew that these staff from Hong Kong Island were very dedicated and efficient at work, so she did not dare to neglect them.

After talking to Zhou Weiping, she immediately walked towards the supervisor's office next to her and knocked on the door.

"Deng deng deng"

"Come in!"

After Jiang Xue opened the door and came in, she then said to the financial director and immediate boss He Tiansheng: "Supervisor, are you looking for me?"

He Tiansheng took out a document and pushed it in front of Jiang Xue.

Then he said in half-baked Mandarin: "The cock's mouth is tight during this period."

After a lot of effort, Jiang Xue finally understood what He Tiansheng meant.

What he meant was that this report was the company's financial expenditure in the recent period, and he asked her to send it to General Manager Lan now!
"it is good!"

After saying that, Jiang Xue picked up the file and walked out.

Jiang Xue has done this kind of thing a lot in the past two or three months. At first, she thought it was Supervisor He who was training her, but later she realized that this was not training at all, but just for He Tiansheng's fancy. Her identity as "Mrs."

You must know that the company's finances need to be approved by General Manager Lan Xinyi, and He Tiansheng, the financial director, also has to act based on Lan Xinyi's face.

Before Jiang Xue arrived at the unit, documents from the financial department often had to go through several procedures after they were sent, which was time-consuming and laborious, and might not necessarily pass.

But since He Tiansheng tried to ask Jiang Xue to send the application materials, he found that General Manager Lan signed it on the same day.

At this point, He Tiansheng seemed to have found the password for batching money. If anything happened, he would call his wife.

But what Jiang Xue doesn't know is that today's document is different. She will face the tyrannical boss of her company for the first time.
