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

Looking at Sandy who was hesitant to speak, Li Yi said calmly: "Sandy, from now on you will be my spokesperson in the company. If you have any questions, please just ask!"

"Boss, 20 billion pounds is really a waste for our company. We can't use that much money. The more we borrow, the higher the cost of capital, so I think a maximum of [-] million pounds is enough!" Sandy said truthfully.

"I just said that [-] million of it will be used by the company to resume production. I have other uses for the rest, which have nothing to do with the company. I just need your help to find a suitable bank to mortgage it, that's all!"

Then Li Yixue continued: "As for the cost of using funds, you don't need to worry about this. I have a sense of discretion in my mind. Now I ask you whether this matter can be completed?"

"No problem. Although the company's stock price has plummeted, it is still a high-quality stock in the market. It is no problem to mortgage 30% of the shares for 20 billion!" Sandy said confidently.

Li Yi nodded and said again: "Of course, it would be better if you could lend more funds, but you must state two points in the contract when lending!"

"The two o'clock?"

"The first point is that the loan term is three years, but as a lender we have the right to repay the loan early. When will we repay the debt and when will the interest be settled!"

Then Li Yi continued: "The next day, when we repay the loan, we can't just limit ourselves to pound local currency transactions. It can also be US dollars, Japanese yen, or gold!"

Sandy thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with these two points, and immediately said: "Okay, I will handle this matter as soon as possible!"

"Well, it's already so late. Let's talk about anything tomorrow!" Li Yi said.

"it is good!"

As he spoke, Sandy stood up from the chair and walked out the door.

But when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly stopped.

Then he turned around and looked at Li Yi and said, "Boss, you anticipated that something would happen to the plane in advance, didn't you?"

"Are you talking about the air accident reported in the news today?"

"Yes, something happened to that plane, but I don't know what the situation is now!"

Sandy was in a hurry all the way and didn't have time to contact his father after arriving in Sheffield, so he didn't know what happened to the plane.

Li Yi immediately said: "There is already news. The radio reported this two hours ago. The plane will successfully make an emergency landing on an island, and there will be no casualties among all passengers and crew!"

Hearing this result, Sandy was relieved and at the same time shocked.

He remembered clearly that when the new boss in front of him made this terrible prophecy, he had said that he would be frightened, but he would not die.

The plane made a successful emergency landing and no one was injured or injured. Isn't this true?
Thinking of this, Sandy said again: "So, Boss, you expected all this?"

Li Yi shook his head and said: "No, but I can tell from your face that you should not travel far during this period, otherwise something bad will happen."

After hearing this, Sandy finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the so-called mysterious prophecy of the new boss is just a general approximation and cannot accurately predict every event. He can still accept this result.

"I understand!"

After saying that, Sandy turned around, opened the door, and walked out!
Seeing Sandy's leaving figure, Li Yi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
This steel tycoon and financial giant in his previous life has actually become a wage earner under Li Yi. No, he should be a partner. These days are getting more and more promising!
The next day. Early morning!

Li Yi got up early again, had a simple breakfast, and then arrived at Sheffield Company surrounded by everyone.

When they arrived at the company, Sandy had already arrived and gathered all the remaining management members together.Together with the employees waiting for negotiations, they all came to the gate early, waiting for the arrival of the new boss, Li Yi.

After the grand welcome ceremony, surrounded by everyone, Li Yi and all the management came to the company's conference room, while ordinary workers were waiting for news outside.

Li Yi promised them that he would negotiate with them after handling the company's personnel issues.

After presenting the company's equity certificate, Li Yi directly announced the appointment of Sandy, and also appointed Wood and Ward as the company's deputy general managers.

Li Yi did not intervene in the remaining positions, and Sandy and the others decided on their own.

After an hour of busy work, the basic framework of the Sheffield Steel Company's management was finally set up. Then Li Yi asked Sandy to negotiate with the workers on behalf of the company.

The entire negotiation process was relatively smooth. With the red line drawn by Li Yi, Sandy did not argue with these miners.

Not only did they agree to repay all previous back wages, but they also decided to give all employees a 10% salary increase starting from next month.

In addition, working hours have also been reduced from the previous 11 hours to 8 hours.

The workers were also very satisfied with the company's concessions and immediately said they could resume work at any time.

At this point, this matter has a happy ending.

However, this only resolves the internal conflicts of Sheffield Company, and it will take some time before the company can truly resume production and work.

On top of that, the official British Empire investigation into their company continues.

But these things did not trouble Sandy. He asked Wood, who was in charge of production, to immediately lead his employees to inspect and count all damaged equipment, and he himself returned to London with Li Yi.

After returning to London, Sandy first met with the investigators responsible for investigating the matter through family connections. After making a guarantee to resume production within one month, the officials suspended their investigation.

Of course, the reason why this matter is so easy to solve is because the Henry family has considerable influence in the imperial political arena and the military.

More importantly, when investigators investigated this matter, they discovered that the Sheffield Company matter was very complicated, involving not only the Sassoon family, but also many political families.

If the investigation continues, I don’t know how many people will be implicated.

Now that Sandy has told them part of the truth and guaranteed that the Sheffield company can resume production in one month at the latest, they are happy to delve deeper.

After settling the official investigation, Sandy once again submitted an application to the exchange for resumption of trading, and Sheffield Steel's futures contract reappeared on the London metal futures market.

And in order to get the money back as soon as possible, Sheffield Company sold short-term short orders this time!
Since there are few sellers in the steel market now, the trading volume of steel has not increased during this period. Fortunately, the market is still active.

Therefore, when these short-term short-term orders of Sheffield Company were put out, they were quickly snapped up by investors and large companies in urgent need of steel.

After seeing this scene, Li Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as these short orders are sold, it means that the batch of steel in his hand has been sold, and the funds can be settled just waiting for delivery.

In addition, with Sandy's help, Li Yi's pledge of the company's share loan also progressed smoothly.

However, just when everything seemed to be going smoothly, urgent news came from Hong Kong Island, and the gang of ghosts took action.
