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

When Daniel went to make a phone call, only Li Yi, Sandy and Dolson were left by the sofa.

Listening to Daniel's slightly embarrassed voice on the other end of the phone, Sandy said with some concern: "Lee, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Que?"

"Lee, Calvin is not an ordinary businessman. In the British Empire, almost everyone knows that he is the spokesperson for the royal family!" Sandy said.

"Then what?" Li Yi said lightly.

"If you decide to meet Calvin, you'd better take the initiative to go to him. It's a bit inconsiderate to let Calvin come in person!" Sandy said in a deep voice.

Dolson immediately echoed and said, "Mr. Sandy is right. Calvin and the Jones family behind him are deeply tied to the royal family. Your behavior will make Calvin lose face, and to a large extent it is equivalent to slapping the face of the royal family. Maybe the royal family will feel offended!"

Li Yi glanced at them, then said calmly: "Sandy, Dolson, I really don't like the condescending word "offense."

"The royal family may be sacred and inviolable in your eyes, but in my eyes, they are no different from ordinary citizens. If they feel they have been offended, they can refuse my invitation and cancel this meeting."

After a brief silence, Sandy said again: "Lee, you may not know much about the British royal family. Although the royal family does not have much power, its prestige among the people is very high. The consequences of offending them are even more serious than offending those politicians in Downing Street!"

"After all, those politicians can only mobilize some government forces at most. If the royal family gets angry, in addition to government forces, they can also mobilize the forces of various families. If necessary, they can even mobilize major royal families across Europe to come to help. Their strength is extremely terrifying."

Dawson also said: "Lee, even if you have the strength and courage to fight against the British government, I still advise you not to provoke the royal family, especially not to make the queen angry, otherwise the consequences will be serious."

As aristocrats born into the upper class, Sandy and Dolson were well aware of how powerful the royal family was.

You know, apart from the elected government, the most powerful forces here are the traditional aristocrats, and these traditional aristocrats are headed by the royal family.

More importantly, the long feudal history has caused serious class stratification in the entire country, and the existence of the royal family is not only a symbol. The royal family has become a bridge connecting historical traditions and modern society, allowing the aristocratic forces to still have an unignorable presence in today's society.

Even Sandy, who was born into the George family, and Dolson, who was born into the Sassoon family, could not help but feel fear and a little awe when talking about the British royal family.

However, Li Yi's reaction surprised Sandy and Dolson. He did not refute them, but gave a meaningful smile.

"Sandy, Dolson, I know the power of the royal family cannot be underestimated, but the more so, the more I have to do this!"

"Li, did you do this on purpose?" Dolson said thoughtfully.

Li Yi nodded, and then said: "Yes, I want to take this opportunity to test the intentions of Calvin, or the British royal family."

"How do you test this?" Sandy asked in confusion.

Li Yi immediately explained: "This involves some psychology. If Calvin really represents some people to negotiate with me as Daniel said, he will naturally lower his posture. Even if they feel offended, they will endure it."

"On the contrary, if their purpose is not pure, they will definitely not be offended by this. So just by looking at Mr. Calvin's attitude, I can roughly infer their purpose of meeting me!"

Sandy opened his mouth, his face full of shock and admiration.

However, Dolson on the side shook his head and said, "Lee, you don't just want to test them. You are also demonstrating to them at the same time."

"Dolson, I have to say, you are a really smart man."

Then Li Yi said again: "Yes, I do want to demonstrate to them!"

"Why? It's not a good idea to protest to the royal family. They may think you are challenging their dignity!" Sandy said. Li Yi said calmly, "Sandy, there is an old saying in China: ghosts attack the weak, and Buddhas attack the good. Often, your kindness is not treated kindly, but bullied twice as much."

“When facing someone with unclear intentions, only by bravely showing your own sharp thorns and swords will others know that you are not to be trifled with, and will they treat you with equality and respect.”

Li Yi knew the situation of the British royal family. On the surface, they looked like a mascot and had no rights at all.

But in fact it has huge commercial output, political influence, and social status. It is an extremely important spokesperson for aristocratic forces and an indispensable part of the British Isles.

From the Scottish succession miracle to the rise of a business empire, to the role of political checks and balances and amplifiers, the royal family, with its multiple identities and irreplaceable status, has built an intricate and interdependent system.

Now that such a huge force's spokesperson has come to him, Li Yi must be extremely cautious and accurately judge his purpose and intention, so as not to put himself and the entire team in danger.

After a long while, Sandy looked at Li Yi and said, "Li, are you worried that the royal family is looking for you for other purposes?"

"That's not necessarily true, but we Chinese have always believed that we should not have the intention to harm others, but we must be on guard against others. I must consider the safety of myself and the entire team!" Li Yi said.

"Then what will you do if the royal family really has other intentions towards you?"

Li Yi said calmly: "What can we do? Of course we will handle it according to the principles of our Chinese people!"

"What principle?"

"Burning incense to Buddha, drawing gun when meeting a thief!" Li Yi said coldly but domineeringly.

After hearing Li Yi's words, both Sandy and Dolson looked awed. These words were so meaningful.

This made the two of them wonder, did Li Yi really come to London simply to make money, bringing a team of 200 people and a huge amount of funds of tens of billions of pounds?
Combined with Li Yi's red background, for a moment, the two of them thought a lot.
While the two were thinking, Daniel hung up the phone and walked over.

After coming to Li Yi, Daniel immediately said: "Li, it's noon. Calvin has booked a seat at the Winster Hotel downstairs. He wants to invite you over. What do you think?"

Li Yi showed a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth. This Calvin still couldn't let go of his identity. It seemed that his purpose in looking for him was not simple.

However, considering that the other party took the initiative to locate the location, and the location was chosen downstairs, it was considered a concession. Asking me to go over was his last stubbornness.

In view of this, Li Yi nodded and said, "Okay, for Mr. Daniel's sake, I'll go over there!"

Daniel was relieved when he heard that Li Yi no longer insisted on Calvin coming to see him.

When he told Calvin about Li Yi's request just now, he heard a series of unfriendly greetings from that person. When he hung up the phone, he even heard the sound of a water cup breaking on the ground. It was obvious that the knight was very angry.

He really couldn't imagine how angry that person would be if Li Yi insisted on his request.

Fortunately, Li Yi did not insist on his own ideas and made concessions, which saved him from having to face Calvin's anger.

At that moment, he hurriedly said: "Okay, then I'll talk to Calvin!"

Having said that, Daniel hurried towards the phone again.

At this moment, the door of the VIP room was suddenly pushed open, and then Li Yi and others saw Yang Qian running in with a panicked look on her face.
