The conversation at Li Family Manor continues!
Li Futiao didn't know how to describe his feelings when he heard that Li Yi was planning to attack the British group non-stop tomorrow, and this time the target was Hang Seng Bank!
Even though the British-funded group seems to have neither momentum nor much funds now, they are the largest business alliance of the ghost guys in the entire Asia, with influence spread across Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Jiaobenji, Nanbang and the entire Southeast Asia.
Now the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is only fighting against these local British members in Hong Kong Island. Once these people are pushed into a hurry, British members from other places will inevitably intervene.
At that time, whether it is Star Investment Company or the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, they will not only face Dolson and others, but members of British-funded groups throughout Asia.
Thinking of this, Li Futiao immediately said: "Brother Li Yi, are you going too fast and launching a takeover war against Hang Seng in such a hasty way..."
Li Yi shook his head and said: "It is indeed a bit hasty, but we must do it now!"
"Why is this?" Li Futiao asked puzzledly.
Li Yi did not answer his words, but asked: "Old Li, do you know the story of Zhuge Liang's six expeditions to Qishan?"
"Of course I know. Although I don't dare to say that I know the Three Kingdoms by heart, I have read it several times. Why do you suddenly ask this question!" Li Futiao said.
Li Yi immediately asked: "Then do you know why Zhuge Liang left Qishan six times? Even though he knew that the national strength of Shu Han could not support such frequent Northern Expeditions, he still persisted?"
"Of course it is to help the Han Dynasty dominate the world, but also to seize population, food, land and other resources!" Li Futiao replied.
"This answer can't be wrong, but it doesn't get to the core!" Li Yi said.
Li Futiao was intrigued by Li Yi's words and immediately asked: "Brother Li Yi, what do you think is the reason for Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition?"
"Stay alive!"
"?"
"The fundamental reason for Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition is to allow the Shu Han to survive. He left Qishan six times just to extend the life of the weak Shu Han!" Li Yi said.
"This...how is this possible?"
"Old Li, since you are familiar with the Three Kingdoms, you should naturally know that since Guan Yu lost Jingzhou due to carelessness, and later Liu Bei lost to Wu general Lu Xun in the Battle of Yiling, Shu has completely lost its ability to fight for hegemony in the world. It’s possible.”
Then Li Yi continued: "At that time, Cao Wei's strength was far higher than that of the Shu Han. The longer it lasted, the more powerful it became. If Zhuge Liang did not use offense as defense when he was alive, the Shu Han would not be able to survive for a few years. They will definitely be destroyed by Cao Wei."
"That's why Zhuge Liang continued his northern expedition to exert military pressure on Cao Wei, making them mistakenly think that the Shu Han was very powerful."
"This... empty city strategy? Hiding the truth?"
Li Yi shook his head and said: "No, this is called offense and it is the best defense!
"Offense is the best defense?"
Li Futiao was stunned by Li Yi's point of view, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that his words were very reasonable.
Zhuge Liang left Qishan six times. Although he did not succeed in the Northern Expedition, he achieved great achievements and even consumed the national power of Shu.
But he made the Wei army exhausted and had no time and energy to prepare to attack Shu, which actually delayed Shu's progress.
Thinking about the current situation of the Chinese-owned and British-owned groups, when their main funds are not in Hong Kong Island, in order to prevent the British-owned groups from counterattacking, they can only continuously launch attacks to confuse the other party and attract attention.
After understanding this, Li Futiao said with a look of amazement: "Brother Li Yi, those ghost guys deserve bad luck when they encounter you!"
"You can't say that. After all, they are playing with technology and tactics, while we are playing with strategy!" Li Yi said.
"Hahaha, regardless of tactics or strategy, I just know that those ghost guys are going to be beaten again!" Li Futiao said with a smile.
Li Yi shook his head and said: "Old Li, you may have thought wrong this time. I guess we will suffer some losses in this confrontation!"
"What's the meaning?"
"If we take action on Hengsheng, given the current situation of those ghost guys, they are likely to give up on Hengsheng!" Li Yi said.
"Survival with a broken arm?"
"Yes, after losing a lot of money, they will most likely sell out all their shares and let us take over, thereby consuming our funds and allowing them to quickly withdraw their funds!" Li Yi said.
"It is indeed possible, but we can also run away in advance, so how can we suffer a loss?" Li Futiao said.
"We can't run!"
"Uh... why can't you run?" Li Futiao asked in confusion.
"Because we are barbarians with 60 billion in hand now, and taking the initiative to run away is likely to expose our strength!" Li Yi said.
The 60 billion boss, this is the persona Li Yi set for himself, and he now relies on this persona to scare the gangsters of the British-owned group.
The market value of Hang Seng is only HK$3 billion. Even if it is speculated, it is only HK$5-6 billion, which is just a drop in the bucket compared to HK$60 billion.
If they escaped as soon as the war started, wouldn't his 60 billion boss character collapse?
Once the character collapses, the true strength will be exposed, and the follow-up will be even more troublesome, so this time he can only endure it!
"So we can only be taken advantage of?"
"It can't be said that we are being taken advantage of. If the battle for Hang Seng can delay us for half a month, it will be worth it!" Li Yi said.
After all, for half a month and twenty days, the Falklands War has already begun.
At that time, the layout in London was basically completed, and he didn't have to worry about those guys counterattacking like he does now.
"What do you need me to do here?" Li Fujian asked.
"Help me contact some shareholders of Hang Seng Bank. I want to acquire their shares. If possible, it is best to sign the contract before tomorrow afternoon!" Li Yi said.
"no problem!"
Then Li Futiao said again: "By the way, Green Reggie contacted me this morning!"
"What's wrong?"
"Your brother-in-law's surgery was successful and he is recovering well. He is expected to be discharged from the hospital in another week!" Li Futiao said.
Upon hearing the news, Li Yi immediately became happy and said with a smile: "This is really good news. My eldest sister has been very worried during this time!"
"Don't worry now!"
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first!"
Then Li Yi explained again: "I have to tell my eldest sister the good news as soon as possible to save her from worrying!"
"Okay, I'll send you off..."
"Stay, no need to be so polite!"
"Okay, then I won't give it away..."
After watching Li Yi leave, Li Futiao immediately stood up and walked to the basement of the manor.
Surprisingly, the basement space of Li Manor is very large, and the decoration is also very high-end.
More importantly, this basement is like a secret base, with not only a telephone and radio station inside.
At this time, more than a dozen staff members were busy working nervously, and the entire underground space was filled with the beeping sound of radio stations and the sound of sending and receiving telegrams.
Seeing Li Futiao walk in, a middle-aged man came over immediately: "Boss!"
"Immediately give it to Yunbao and let them continue to add positions according to the original plan. Except for leaving 150 million pounds of emergency funds, the rest will be spent in a short time!" Li Futiao said decisively.
"yes!"
"Send another telegram to Lao Wu and ask him to hand over all our funds in London to Yun Bao for operation!" Li Fujian said.
"yes..."
With the sending of Li Futiao's telegram, the already turbulent situation in the London metal futures trading market soon became completely chaotic...
