Urban area. Li family!
While Li Yi was discussing with Li Futiao, Huang Lixing and others on how to defeat the Li family, the Li family in the other corner of the city had a different scene.
In the study, Li Jiuying looked calm on the surface.
The gold store was run by investors. Although this incident happened suddenly, he was not mentally prepared at all.
After all, the current price of gold is so high that the price when some investors originally accumulated gold may be only half of what it is now, or even less.
If you do it now, you will be able to double the net profit. There will definitely be people who can't resist the temptation and prepare to withdraw the gold from their accounts, or simply exchange it for money.
Therefore, while making a lot of money this time, he also reserved a sum of money in the accounts of various gold stores in order to prevent possible runs.
However, the current situation was still a bit beyond his expectation.
First of all, there were too many people running on him. A large number of customers poured into his various branches and asked to withdraw the gold accumulated in their accounts.
Secondly, the media was also adding fuel to the flames. Almost overnight, newspapers of all sizes were saying that the Li family was at risk of defaulting on their contract, which gave Li Jiuying a strong sense of conspiracy.
Judging from his many years of experience in shopping malls, it was obvious that someone was behind this matter. Therefore, while he ordered people to issue an announcement to stabilize people's hearts, he also asked people to investigate the matter.
"Ding-deng-deng!"
Just as Li Jiuying was deep in thought, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Enter!"
As the study door was pushed open, Li Jiuying saw his right-hand assistant Liao Yong walking in with an ugly expression.
"Boss, in less than half a day, 190 million Hong Kong dollars have been withdrawn from all our branches. Several branches have run out of funds. What should I do?"
After listening to Liao Yong's report, Li Jiuying did not answer him, but asked: "Is there any progress in the matter I asked you to investigate?"
"have!"
Then Liao Yong continued: "We spent a lot of money to bribe the editors of several gossip tabloids. According to them, they only reported the news that we might breach the contract after receiving money from others, and..."
"And what?"
"And the other party had approached them a week ago, but the manuscript was only given to them yesterday..."
Hearing this, Li Jiuying couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, which showed that the other party had already planned it.
No wonder so many newspapers and media suddenly reported those things that were not true, and they spread so quickly!
"If nothing goes as expected, it should be the big guy!" Li Jiuying said coldly.
Ever since Xingchen Company suddenly purchased a large amount of physical gold some time ago, he had vaguely sensed that it was coming for him, but he didn't expect it to actually come true.
"Boss, what should we do now?"
"Continue to mobilize funds to ensure that the gold in every customer account can be redeemed!"
Li Jiuying is very clear about the importance of business reputation. Hong Kong Island is so big, with only a few million people in total. Once a family's business reputation is gone, there will be no chance for a comeback in the future.
What's more, the Li family is not insolvent.
Although the gold accumulation plan did cause them to suffer certain losses, they have used the raised funds to invest in real estate and banking over the years and have made a lot of money, so they are fully capable of paying those customers' funds.
"Boss, some customers don't want money, but gold..."
"Then find a way to buy gold!"
"What's the price?"
"According to the market price, if the company's funds are not enough, it will borrow money from the bank."
Then Li Jiuying looked at Liao Yong and said with a serious face: "I tell you, crises are also opportunities. If we survive this time, the Li family's sign will be 10% gold-plated. From now on, the citizens of Hong Kong Island will only invest in gold." They will identify our Li family!"
Li Jiuying now also figured out why Xingchen Company suddenly wanted to acquire physical gold on a large scale. Its purpose was to quickly increase the price of gold.
Once the price of gold skyrockets, and they exaggerate it in the media, it can easily cause people to run into Lijia Gold Store.
If the Li family cannot survive, bankruptcy is inevitable.
But it is a pity that the strength of the Li family is much more than this. Although one billion Hong Kong dollars is a lot, it is not enough to defeat the Li family.
Despite this, Li Jiuying was still shocked by the terrifying methods of the young man from Xingchen Company.
The business methods of that big guy were really shocking. He had almost forced the Li family into a desperate situation in just ten days after he returned to Hong Kong Island. This person was really terrifying.
At this time, he was also reflecting on whether it was worth it to offend such a powerful and capable business wizard.
But there was no turning back when he opened his bow. At this point, he could only go to the dark side in one way!
Thinking of this, Li Jiuying said again: "I heard that that bitch Ma Biao has taken down all Huang Lixing's dozen ships and three casinos?"
"Yes, it has been taken down!"
"Let him spit out half of it. Our Li family has suffered such a heavy loss this time. Someone must share the loss!" Li Jiuying said solemnly.
"Wouldn't this be good? After all, we used to..."
"There's nothing good or bad about him. Who is Ma Biao? Why are we here to bear the attack of that big guy, while he is reaping the benefits!"
"What if he refuses to submit?"
"Hmph, even he doesn't have the guts. After offending the Li family and the entire Chinese-owned group, even if he was given ten courages by Ma Biao, he would not dare to offend our British-owned group again." Li Jiuying said confidently.
"Yes, I will contact Ma Biao right away!"
"Go ahead and tell the person in charge of the gold store to ensure that every customer can be paid no matter what!" Li Jiuying warned again.
"yes!"
After saying that, Liao Yong left in a hurry.
After watching Liao Yong leave, Li Jiuying thought for a moment, then picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.
"Dudu..."
Soon, the phone was connected, and a deep voice came from the receiver: "Who is that?"
"Sir, that big gangster launched a counterattack against our Li family. Our Li family's gold shop suffered a run and suffered heavy losses!"
"I already know the situation on your side. I can assure you that the entire British-owned group will stand behind you. No matter how much your Li family's losses are this time, we will give you equal compensation!"
"With your words, I feel relieved!" Li Jiuying said with a grateful face.
"What's the situation now? Do you have enough funds to cope with this crisis?"
"It's not a big problem. Although part of our funds are backlogged in the real estate project on Happy Race Road, with Longheng Bank here, it's impossible for the big circle guy to use this trick to bring down our Li family!" Li Jiuying was confident. said.
"Okay, let's deal with that person. If you need anything, call me directly!"
"OK..."
With the support of the boss of the British-owned group, Li Jiuying suddenly felt confident.
But what he didn't know was that Li Yi not only had one trump card against him, but also a counterattack.
Just when Li Jiuying thought he was sure of victory, Li Yi took action again...
