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

Li Yi, who was far away in London, did not know what was happening on Hong Kong Island. At this time, he was already preparing to return to Hong Kong Island.

In the past few days while Li Yi was waiting for bank funds to be available, the London stock market and futures market once again set off huge waves because of the resumption of trading by Sheffield Steel Company.

As a large number of short steel orders were sold, the steel trading volume in the futures market surged in just a few trading days, and the trading volume of Sheffield Steel Company increased significantly.

The company's performance is naturally reflected in its stock price. The Sheffield company's stock price has been cut in half, and its market value has also plummeted.

However, stimulated by this, the stock price has experienced three consecutive rises, from the previous 17 pounds to 26 pounds per share, and the market value has also increased from the previous 55 billion pounds to 82 billion pounds.

And this is just the beginning.
On June 6, the Times, Oxford Gazette and other media publicly reported the news: Since the new board of directors of Sheffield Steel Company has reached an agreement with workers on wages and benefits, and the company has promised to resume production in the middle of next month, the government Investigation into Sheffield company suspended.

This news is undoubtedly a great benefit to Sheffield Company, which is equivalent to taking away the sharp sword hanging over the company's head.

Immediately afterwards, news came out that Sheffield Steel Company was preparing to spend huge sums of money to acquire Montra Steel Company, which had gone bankrupt due to bullish pressure.

Once the news came to light, it quickly detonated Sheffield Steel's share price.

You must know that before bankruptcy, the company had been the second largest steel company in the empire, accounting for 20% of the entire British Empire's annual steel production.

If Sheffield Company annexes Montra Steel Company, it will solely control 80% of the empire's steel production in the future, which will almost monopolize the empire's steel industry.

Once any industry reaches such a scale, it will be difficult not to make money.

More importantly, after these few months of futures wars, most investors know that the production capacity of the Imperial Steel Industry is not as high as imagined.

In other words, the British Empire's steel production capacity may be slightly more than consumption, but it is definitely not overcapacity.

In addition, the government has just announced that in order to stimulate the economy, large-scale investment in infrastructure will be made in the next few years.

Infrastructure construction naturally consumes a large amount of steel. Therefore, after the war, while the prices of other metals continued to fall, the price of steel did not change much.

Due to various favorable conditions, Sheffield Steel's share price soared again, approaching the previous mark of 35 pounds.

The company's market value has also skyrocketed, and the situation is excellent.

But Li Yi doesn't care about this. He doesn't care whether the company's stock price rises or falls.

This is not to show off, but mainly because of high-quality companies like Sheffield Steel Company. Li Yi has no intention of taking action, at least not yet.

It's like you only have one house and you don't plan to sell it, so the price of the house has nothing to do with you.

But seeing the company's stock price rising, he was still in a good mood.

But what made him feel better was that after three days of waiting, the bank funds were finally in place.

Subsequently, Li Yi and others finally boarded the flight back to Hong Kong Island, officially ending their trip to London.
Hong Kong Island. Kai Tak Airport!

Entering July, the temperature on Hong Kong Island rises sharply, reaching [-] to [-] degrees Celsius.

This is even more true today. It's not even noon yet, but the heat wave is already hitting us, and even the road surface is about to be baked.

But under such circumstances, luxury fleets appeared in the parking lot outside the airport without warning.

After a while, the parking lot, which was not very big, was filled to the brim.

Citizens near the airport soon discovered that these luxury fleets came from well-known Chinese families on Hong Kong Island, including not only the Li family of the Far East Club, but also the He family, Luo family, Bao family, Huo family, etc.

It can be said that several of the most powerful Chinese families on Hong Kong Island have sent people here.

Just when everyone was speculating about who these families were waiting for when they gathered together, the media suddenly revealed the news: Li Yi, vice president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and boss of Xingchen Investment Company, was coming back.

Once the news was exposed, it quickly attracted everyone's attention, and media from all walks of life rushed to the airport to get first-hand news information.

As a large number of media and people flocked to the airport, traffic jams leading to the airport were inevitable.In fact, it's no wonder that everyone is so crazy. The main reason is that everyone wants to know how much money Li Yi made during this trip.

You know, the people of Hong Kong Island have long known that the two major talkers, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the British Capital Group, shook hands and made peace and jointly conquered London.

The two went to London to invest together, so they were naturally compared.

There has been discussion a long time ago about which of the two has a better record. For this reason, some casinos have even opened handicap.

Just two days ago, the British Group released news that this time Dolson used 15 billion pounds of principal to gain 21 billion pounds in profits in three months, equivalent to 357 billion Hong Kong dollars.

This news instantly caused a sensation throughout Hong Kong Island. Even when Li Yi went to New York last year, his net profit was only about US$50 billion, which is equivalent to less than 300 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Because of this, both the people and the media on Hong Kong Island are looking forward to Li Yi's return.

Everyone wants to know what kind of achievements this legendary investor can achieve!
At 11:30 in the morning, as the airport flight landing announcement sounded, the crowd outside the airport couldn't help but start to move.

At the same time, the bodyguards of the major families, as well as Yang Wenguang, Yan Guangming and others who came to perform escort missions, were also on high alert.

Since several companies belonging to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce were attacked a few days ago, the situation has become tense, and they have to guard against the other side using underhanded tactics.

Therefore, after Huang Lixing learned that Li Yi was coming back, he directly sent Yang Wenguang and others over to protect Li Yi's safety.

Soon, under everyone's gaze, a team of more than a dozen people appeared at the exit of the airport.

Sharp-eyed people soon discovered that the young man surrounded by several bodyguards was Li Yi.

For a time, all the guns and cannons in the hands of the reporters were aimed at Li Yi, and they kept pressing the shutter, murdering the films!

At the airport exit, Li Yi was also shocked by the dark crowd outside.

Just when he was surprised at what so many people were doing outside, he saw Li Futiao, Huang Lixing, He Dongying, Charter King, Li Chaoren and others getting out of the car one after another, and then came to greet him.

Li Yi was also a little flattered when he saw that all the Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong came to the airport to greet him.

But when he thought about it, he felt relieved. After all, he was going to London this time to make money for them. It seemed reasonable for them to pick him up at the airport.

After meeting, Li Futiao first gave Li Yi a big hug, and then said with a smile: "Brother Li Yi, welcome home!"

"Old Li, why are you all here? In fact, there is no need to"

Before Li Yi finished speaking, He Dongying said directly: "We have to come. We, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, cannot let those ghost guys compete!"

Seeing Li Yi's slightly confused expression, Li Futiao immediately explained: "When Dolson and others returned to Hong Kong Island some time ago, almost all members of the British Group came out to greet them, which caused a huge sensation."

"Just the few of us combined, we can't let those ghost guys compete, so not only are there more people coming to greet you today, but the scene is also bigger."

Li Yi stood in the crowd and looked forward. In addition to a large number of luxury cars, he saw a large number of people and security personnel.

To his surprise, he saw his eldest brother-in-law Yang Wenguang in the crowd.

Seeing how he quickly directed the people around him to maintain order, it was obvious that his health was getting better.

"Brother Li Yi, how are you? Is this card good enough?" Huang Lixing asked with a smile.

"Enough!"

Then Li Yi said to everyone: "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to come here to welcome us. I won't say much else. As usual, Genting One is on its way!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yi followed Li Futiao into the Li family's car, and then went straight to Genting One in Taiping Mountain.
