Second floor. Study!
After teasing Yun Rui and Yun Jin in the living room for a while, Zhou Rui immediately made a request to talk to Li Yi.
Knowing that this man must have something going on, Li Yi took him to his father-in-law's study.
After the two sat down across the desk, Li Yi immediately asked with a smile: "Zhou Bureau, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
Zhou Rui nodded and said: "Comrade Li Yi, I would like to ask, how many people can the security company on Hong Kong Island accommodate at most?"
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Director Zhou, what do you mean by asking? Could it be that the higher-ups want to crowd people there on a large scale?"
"I do have this idea!"
Then Zhou Rui continued: "Right now, the higher-ups are planning a major disarmament. A large number of troops will be disbanded soon. How to place some people who have combat talents but are not suitable to stay in the army? This has always been a headache for superior leaders. The problem."
"Furthermore, our negotiations with the British Empire are about to begin. They want to use the power of their victory in the Falklands War to force us to make concessions. But when it comes to territorial sovereignty, we will naturally not give in. We must guard against certain people. The dog is so anxious that he jumps over the wall..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Yi took over the conversation and said, "So the higher-ups want to continue transporting personnel over there?"
Zhou Rui nodded and said: "Well! Comrade Guangming and Comrade Wenguang acted decisively and quickly on Hong Kong Island this time. Whether it is the use of tactics, the battle process, or the final results and impact, it can be said that It’s textbook level, and it also gave us a lot of inspiration!”
"Transferring people there will not only give those warriors with fighting talents a place to use, but also complete the important task of disarmament. When necessary, they can also become a special force in the hands of the country. Do more than one thing with one stone!"
"Is this a new task assigned to me from above?" Li Yi said.
Zhou Rui shook his head and said: "Yes, but no!"
Li Yi smiled and said: "Zhou Ju, you are playing riddles with me. If we are, we are, if we are not, we are not!"
Zhou Rui immediately said: "The leaders above naturally want to push this matter forward. After all, this matter involves a lot, but the leaders also know that whether this matter will succeed or not mainly depends on the security company's attitude towards personnel. The demand cannot be forced!”
Li Yi thought for a moment, and then said: "I really can't answer you for the time being about how many people are needed. After all, you know that I usually don't pay much attention to the situation of the security company."
"But if the superiors intend to send people there, then I will adjust the security company's business. I dare not say if there are more people, but three or two thousand people will still be no problem!"
Hearing this, Zhou Rui's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Can you really afford to support so many people?"
"To be honest, the higher-ups will not let you take in so many idle personnel when you don't need them. Otherwise, it will be a burden for the country to dump on you, so you don't need to have too many scruples when making decisions... .”
"Director Zhou, I understand what you mean, but I'm not insisting on taking on the burden, but if the company expands its business, it can indeed accommodate a lot of people!"
Li Yi said this not to make a fool of himself, but because he really can do it.
You must know that after this battle, Aegis Security Company has become truly famous among the wealthy circles of Hong Kong Island, and it is also famous and prestigious.
Everyone also understood at this time that the company was not, as it seemed on the surface, the place where Huang Lixing installed his gang of gangsters.
They are a peerless sword that he, Li Yi, has inserted in Hong Kong Island. They are usually placed there inconspicuously, but when necessary, they can make the entire Hong Kong Island bleed into a river.
And with Gusta as a prominent figure, it is completely conceivable that Aegis Security Company will inevitably become the target of cooperation with those wealthy families in the future.
Furthermore, he will soon invest tens of billions to carry out large-scale reconstruction and expansion of the entire New Territories warehouse. Not only will there be a large number of new hotels, restaurants, amusement parks, high-end clubs, clubs and other entertainment venues, but also new Many real estate projects.
These projects and places require a large number of security personnel, and it is definitely not enough for SHIELD to rely on the more than 2,000 people they currently have.
It's just that Li Yi's idea before was that Huang Lixing could just recruit the security team from local young people for ordinary projects, and he didn't want to deal with such trivial matters.
But now that it’s needed above, that’s another matter!
Seeing what Li Yi said, Zhou Rui felt relieved, and then said: "Okay, I will report this to the superiors as soon as possible. If the leaders above make up their minds to implement the plan, I will contact you again! "
"OK!"
"By the way, Lao Xu asked me to ask you, is this investment project over?" Zhou Rui asked again.
"What, he needs money over there?"
"It should be, as far as I know, since the beginning of spring, many big projects have been launched one after another. The foreign exchange in the hands of the foreign exchange bureau has decreased rapidly, and now it can hardly hold on!" Zhou Rui said.
Li Yi thought for a while and said: "The first round of investment in London has basically ended. Now we are waiting for settlement. It is estimated that settlement will be completed in one or two weeks!"
The investment in London has actually ended, but all the money was used by Li Yi to acquire Sheffield Steel Company.
Now Li Yi is waiting for the delivery of the 20 million tons of steel contracts in the futures market. As long as the delivery date arrives, he can successfully settle nearly 7 billion pounds of funds.
The money will be used by him to distribute dividends to investors, which naturally includes the money invested by the state.
"Okay, in a week or two, Lao Xu and the others should be able to hold on..."
However, before Zhou Rui could finish speaking, Li Yi said again: "Director Zhou, to be honest, if Lao Xu and the others don't need a lot of funds, I suggest not to use the money in London yet!"
Zhou Rui was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Yi and said, "You just said that the first round of investment is over. Does this mean you have follow-up plans?"
"Yes, there will be an opportunity soon, which will most likely double the principal and interest of the capital invested this time. It would be a pity to withdraw now!"
Then Li Yi said again: "Furthermore, the funds I invested for the superiors last year are about to expire. By then, the principal and interest will be more than one billion Hong Kong dollars. How about using this funds first to deal with emergencies?"
Li Yi was talking about the 1.2 billion time deposit deposited with Citibank last year. That money will expire in half a month.
When I saved, I used Hong Kong dollars to exchange for U.S. dollars, totaling more than 7 billion Hong Kong dollars. But now the exchange rate of Hong Kong dollars to U.S. dollars has dropped from 5.06:1 to 9.6:1. If you include the 2.6% interest on the deposit, it is almost equal to Doubled.
Zhou Rui immediately said: "Okay, I'll tell Lao Xu and I will report this situation to the superiors!"
"Can!"
"By the way, how long do you plan to stay in Yangcheng this time and go back there? Do you need me to prepare some cars for you?" Zhou Rui asked again.
"No, if nothing else happens, I want to go back tomorrow. There are still some things that need to be sorted out over there!" Li Yi said.
"Okay, I'll see you off when you leave. After all, you don't even have a car here, so it's not convenient to go anywhere!"
Li Yi did not reject Zhou Rui's kindness, and immediately said: "Then I will ask Awen to contact you before we leave!"
"good..."
