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

Manhattan Island. Green Manor!

In the living room, Li Yi's eyes were fixed on the TV in front of him.

At this time, in the picture on the TV, the Iron Lady was talking to a group of reporters: "In order to quickly recover the national economy from stagflation and depression, the government has decided to adjust the existing economic policies. The state decided to withdraw from major enterprises and push them into the market, no longer subject to government interference."

Listening to these measures, Li Yi knew that the Iron Lady was going to start implementing her privatization policy.

According to the economic adjustment plan formulated by the Iron Lady and his cabinet, they will completely push some of the state-controlled enterprises with poor economic returns into the market in the coming time, without any further interference from the government.

It has to be said that this woman is indeed a person with ideas and clever means. She actually has the courage to let the company survive and develop in market competition according to the law of survival of the fittest, so as to improve the competitiveness and economic benefits of the company.

This is not over yet. This woman also implemented a consumption tax system throughout the country, combining taxation with personal income to stimulate people's enthusiasm and encourage people to start businesses and invest, thus promoting the economic development of society.

Li Yi, who is familiar with history, listened to the sound coming from the TV and was thinking about the economic reform that almost overturned the British Empire a few years later.

That reform began in 1985, and its core was what is now called the privatization of state-owned enterprises. However, compared to the policy she announced now, the economic reform in 85 was larger in scale and deeper, involving almost all of the United Kingdom. All aspects of empire.

Of course, since this reform has received support from a large number of people, the effect is pretty good.

仅仅三年，其国民生产总值已达到3847.78亿美刀，通货膨胀率也从1978年的18.1%下降到4.4%；失业人口数下降至200万以下；劳动生产率每年平均每年增长5.5%；人均年收入增长率约为3%，创造了连铁娘子自己都为之震惊的经济奇迹。

In short, these economic measures are just paving the way for reforms in a few years.

But these have nothing to do with Li Yi. What he really cares about is not these, but the Iron Lady's financial policy adjustments.

Soon, what Li Yi wanted to hear came from the TV screen: "The government implements monetary tightening policies by strictly controlling the amount of currency and reducing currency issuance to achieve the purpose of controlling market price stability and reducing the inflation rate. .Reduce personal income tax to stimulate the production enthusiasm of enterprises and individuals."

"In addition, from now on, the government will also increase the exchange rate of the pound. The exchange rate of the pound against the US dollar will increase from the current 1.54 to 2.45."

Hearing the news, Li Yi felt relieved, and the expression on his face completely relaxed.

The news was finally announced, and my previous layout finally came to fruition.

Now we just need to wait for this news to ferment and the exchange rates of various countries to stabilize, and then we can reap the results.

Once the news about Iron Lady was announced, it quickly caused turmoil in the capital market.

As the world's second largest payment currency, although the rise and fall of the pound exchange rate is not as influential as the US dollar, it will still have a certain impact on the world economy.

Some people, like Li Yi, had their assets soar by more than 60% without warning, and they were naturally happy.

But there are also people who have just exchanged their pounds for US dollars, and their assets have plummeted by half in an instant, and their mentality has almost collapsed.

For a time, some families were really happy and some were sad.
Urban area. Brothers Grimm!

Green Reggie was busy in the office when his assistant hurriedly opened the door and walked in.

"What's the matter? What happened in the panic?" Green Reggie asked with a frown.

"Boss, there is news about the thing you asked me to pay attention to. The British Empire government has adjusted the pound exchange rate."

Upon hearing this, Greene stood up from his seat and asked with a hint of nervousness: "Has the pound appreciated or depreciated?"

It’s no wonder he was so nervous. You have to know that this time he not only exchanged all the company’s own US$82 billion into pounds, but also spent all the US$55 billion the company had loaned back.

Furthermore, in order not to miss this opportunity to make a fortune, Green Reggie also invested all his personal assets in it.

If the value of the pound depreciates, he will suffer a lot of losses. Although he will not go bankrupt, he will probably be injured.
Fortunately, the assistant's next words did not disappoint him. When he heard the word "promoted", he felt relieved.

"How much has it appreciated?" "According to the exchange rate announced by the British Empire Government, the pound has appreciated by 62% against the US dollar."

Upon hearing this value, Green Reggie's whole body went numb instantly!
After the shock, he immediately called Brian at the bank and asked about the current exchange rate of pounds to U.S. dollars.

After receiving the affirmative answer of 1:2.45, Green Reggie immediately asked someone to prepare a car and went straight to his manor.
Going back to the manor, when Li Yi was calculating the profit this time in the study, there was a sudden "thump, thump, thump" knock on the door.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ziqiang and Green Reggie were seen pushing open the door and walking in.

As soon as he entered the door, Green Reggie said excitedly to Li Yi: "Li, you must be the biological son of the goddess of luck. You are really amazing."

Seeing Green Reggie being so excited that he was incoherent, Li Yi immediately smiled and said, "Green, it's just a small profit. Are you so excited?"

"Li, you Chinese people are too humble. This time we made at least 85 billion pounds, which is a huge profit!" Green Reggie said.

Li Yi smiled and said, "Want to make another fortune?"

Green Reggie's face lit up and he hurriedly said: "Think about it, how can I make money?"

"When can our money be converted into U.S. dollars?" Li Yi said.

"anytime!"

"you sure?"

"I asked Brian specifically before coming here, and his words should be correct!" Green Reggie said.

"Well, you can immediately convert all the pounds into U.S. dollars. At least 30 billion will be received before tomorrow morning. Can you do it?" Li Yi said.

"Yes, what should I do after the money arrives?"

Li Yi immediately said: "As soon as the money arrives, buy our company's stocks immediately!"

Greene Reggie was stunned at first, but he quickly came to his senses: "Do you want to go long in our own company's stocks?"

"Yes, not many people know that our company is betting heavily on the pound, and the company's stock price has not changed much now. But as long as we release this news, the company's stock price will inevitably rise, and we can definitely make a fortune!" Li Yi said.

Green Reggie thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it will be a bit late if I do it tomorrow. After all, I exchanged pounds through Blaine's channel. I'm worried."

"Are you worried that Blaine has already taken action?"

"Well! I know Brian very well. He is a person with a unique and keen investment vision. Moreover, JPMorgan Chase also has its own investment department. He will not miss this opportunity!" Green Reggie said.

"It doesn't matter, the stock market will close in ten minutes. Even if they take action, they won't have long time to operate. We still have a chance."

Then Li Yi continued: "Furthermore, making money by speculating on our own company's stocks is only one aspect. The more important thing is to push up the company's stock price. If done well this time, the company's market value may exceed 200 billion US dollars in one fell swoop. !”

Hearing this, Green Reggie was once again shocked by Li Yi's thoughts.

Good guy, I am still narrow-minded after all.

I originally thought that Li Yi just wanted to take this opportunity to get some profits from his company, but I didn't expect that the other party was actually trying to push up the company's stock price and market value.

As an investor, Greene is very aware of the benefits of an increase in the company's stock price and market value. Not to mention the skyrocketing shareholder value, the benefits to the company's own development are obvious.

If the company's market value can exceed US$200 billion, Green Brothers will suddenly become the fifth largest investment company in the world. By then, whether it is recruiting funds or its position in the market, it will be different from what it is now.

Thinking of this, Green Reggie couldn't sit still. He first called the company's financial director, then briefly said a few words to Li Yi, and hurriedly left the manor.
