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

Star Investment Company. Mainland Branch!

In the general manager's office, Li Yi sat on the soft sofa, listening to Lan Xinyi report on the company's operating status.

After briefly talking about the operation situation of the branch during this period, Lan Xinyi concluded: "Boss, this is basically the situation of the mainland branch. Although the overall situation is still in a state of loss, the operations of each business segment are still in a state of loss. It’s all considered stable. Once we officially complete the transformation of those new brands, we will be able to turn losses into profits.”

Before Lan Xinyi could finish speaking, Li Yi coughed and interrupted her: "Xinyi, I already understand the general situation, but there are a few points I want to remind you!"

"Boss, please tell me!" Lan Xinyi said.

"The first thing is not to care about the company's losses. During the expansion of a new company, losses are inevitable."

Then Li Yi continued: "Secondly, don't rush to turn losses into profits. After we acquire or invest in those state-owned factories, we must straighten out all aspects of the relationship, especially the transformation of technical equipment and personnel management, and then Let’s start operations again!”

"Finally, and most importantly, our company must strengthen communication with the government. All operations must comply with laws and regulations. This is the bottom line, do you understand?"

The reason why Li Yi said this was because he was worried that Lan Xinyi and others would bring the bad atmosphere from Hong Kong Island here.

You must know that when doing business on Hong Kong Island, almost no company can truly abide by laws and regulations. Government agencies, associations and gangs all need to pay for management.

This matter is nothing on Hong Kong Island, everyone does it, but if it is found here, the consequences will be serious.

Especially in the next few years, the situation will be very tense, and Li Yi does not want to go to prison to fish for people like them.

"understand!"

Then Lan Xinyi said again: "Don't worry about the situation at the branch. We will strictly follow the development plan you formulated and advance steadily. However, there are some things on Hong Kong Island that need you to deal with as soon as possible!"

"What's going on?" Li Yi asked immediately.

Lan Xinyi said immediately: "Boss, I received a telegram from the Hong Kong headquarters two days ago. The contracts of many investors of Dahai Private Equity have expired recently, and the headquarters is preparing to settle principal and interest for customers."

"Since this includes a large amount of funds from you and Vice President Huang, the amount of funds involved is too large and requires your personal approval."

Li Yi nodded and said, "Well, you just need to contact the headquarters and ask them to do everything in accordance with the original contract."

"Yes!"

Then Lan Xinyi said again: "Then the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is planning to hold a general membership meeting in December to discuss the admission of new members and the annual meeting of the chamber of commerce."

"President Li sent a list of people yesterday. They are all people who applied to join this year. I need you, boss, to take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yi smiled and said, "Just let them discuss and decide on this kind of thing. I don't know these people very well!"

"You'd better take a look. I heard what Chairman Li means is that he is worried that there are people on this list who are not compatible with our Xingchen Company. If there are any, pick them out in advance!"

With that said, Lan Xinyi handed over a document.

Although Li Yi is not very interested in this kind of thing, since Lan Xinyi has handed the list to him, it would be rude not to read it.

At the moment, Li Yi took the document and read it carefully.

The document has five pages. The content and format of each page are the same. The first column is the name of the person, the second and third columns are the gender and age, and the fourth column is the position in the company or family. , the fifth column is the personal asset assessment.

Perhaps due to telegrams, this information is not too detailed, but people who are familiar with the business community on Hong Kong Island also know who they are talking about.

"Lin Wenxiong, male, 48 years old, general manager of Hong Kong Island Shengxiong Paper Co., Ltd., HK$3 million!"

"Zhang Ping, female, 55 years old, president of Hong Kong Island Fuji Catering Investment Company, 8 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"Liang Hui, male, 44 years old, general manager of Hong Kong Island Guanghui Clothing Co., Ltd., HK$6 million!"

"Cheng Qingsong, male, 47 years old, general manager of Hong Kong Island Jianing Group Company, HK$80 billion."

Cheng Qingsong .80 billion Hong Kong dollars?

Li Yi didn't notice this person at first, but when he saw the person's personal assets of 80 billion noted later, he couldn't help being surprised. These days, the assets of the wealthy businessmen on Hong Kong Island have not skyrocketed like they did after the millennium. Even the famous billionaire Li Chaoren's current assets are less than billion.

Therefore, Mr. Cheng, who has an asset of 8 billion, is definitely the most powerful group of top wealthy people in Hong Kong Island, but Li Yi has no impression of this person.

After thinking for a while, he didn't remember which Buddha this was.

At that moment, Li Yi asked Lan Xinyi, "Do you know what this Mr. Cheng Qingsong does?"

Lan Xinyi immediately replied: "Boss, you are talking about Mr. Cheng from Jianing Company. He was the most legendary investor in Hong Kong before you. He went from a real estate consultant to a billionaire in just a few years. "Two years ago, he made a huge profit of HK$7 million from just one real estate project."

"What is even more legendary is that after the company under his name was listed, the stock price soared by 250% in just a few months. It has become the fastest-rising high-quality company in Hong Kong Island in recent years, and it is also the most promising among major investment companies. one of the companies”

Listening to Lan Xinyi's introduction, Li Yi suddenly felt that Cheng Qingsong seemed a bit inexplicably familiar.

Cheng Qingsong. Jianing Group’s Golden Finger.

Damn it, isn't this the "scam king" who single-handedly deceived Hong Kong Island investors and brought down the entire Hong Kong Island judiciary?

"Wait a minute, you said that Jianing Company is the most promising high-quality enterprise among major investment companies. Could it be that our Xingchen Investment Company also holds shares in this company?" Li Yi asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, our company currently holds 14% of the outstanding shares of Jianing Company, worth about one billion Hong Kong dollars!"

hiss!

Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Good guy, I just said that Cheng Qingsong is a trap, and Jianing Group is the biggest trap in the Hong Kong stock market this year, but I didn't expect that my own company turned out to be the biggest trap in this trap.

Thinking of this, Li Yi immediately said: "Xinyi, immediately send a report to the headquarters and ask them to sell all the Jianing Company stocks immediately!"

Lan Xinyi was stunned for a moment, then confirmed again: "Boss, is that all you said?"

"Yes, don't keep any of them, clear them all!"

Then Li Yi said in a serious tone: "At the same time, let them do their best to check the following to see if there are other business transactions between the company and Jianing Group. If so, strengthen supervision immediately to prevent major losses!"

"Yes, I'll go right away!"

Although Lan Xinyi was full of doubts, she knew Li Yi's character and did not allow anyone to question it at this time.

"Wait a minute, you send another order to the Investment Department, asking Pang Feiyan to immediately start shorting Jianing Group, and all departments will fully cooperate." Li Yi said.

"Yes!"

After Lan Xinyi left the office, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he is here today, otherwise, this billion Hong Kong dollars may have been wasted.

Although he didn't go out of his way to get to know Cheng Qingsong and the Jianing Group in his previous life, the Jianing case on Hong Kong Island caused a sensation, and he also learned about it from the side.

As expected, in mid-September, Jianing, a business giant with a market value of tens of billions, would suddenly announce that the company had encountered financial problems, and then the company's stock price began to plummet.

Just when investors were expecting the company's leader, Cheng Qingsong, to turn the tide, lead the company out of trouble and regain its glory, just three and a half months later, Jianing Group's shares were stopped from trading, and hundreds of thousands of people invested billions of Hong Kong dollars. It just went down the drain.

Later, there was the decades-long investigation and prosecution of Cheng Qingsong by the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Li Yi was not interested in the life and death of Cheng Qingsong and Jianing Company, but he did not want to be the one who was buried with Jianing Group.

As for shorting Jianing, in addition to chasing down rabbits, more importantly, even if he does not take action, the market value of Jianing Group's billions will turn into a bubble in a few months.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to fall into his pocket, and then maybe it can help those trapped people.

But what Li Yi didn't know was that his order directly caused an unprecedented shock in the business community of Hong Kong Island.
