Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 1138: Counterattack First Shot (Part 1)

Although the trouble with Lu Shaohua's Phoenix Group was caused by the Wall Street Journal, everyone knows that the governments of Western countries also intervened and wiped out the Phoenix Group. This can be seen from the fact that after the trouble with the Phoenix Group, their governments sent people to investigate the Phoenix Group.

Yes, after the Wall Street Journal broke the news, in addition to the ** protests, Phoenix Group's branches in those countries were all subject to official investigations, and the excuse for the investigation was tax evasion.

Over the years since its establishment, Phoenix Group has been well-known in the industry in terms of taxation. Although it will avoid taxes reasonably, it is well-known in the world for tax evasion and tax avoidance. Phoenix Group has always paid full taxes.

However, their country is still investigating Phoenix Group's overseas branches. What does this mean? It is nothing more than adding insult to injury. However, they also know that they cannot go too far, so they keep everything simple during the investigation. As a result, the investigation came to an end quickly.

Lu Shaohua also knew about the investigation, but he knew that Phoenix Group's overseas branches would not evade taxes, so Lu Shaohua did not say anything, only saying: "Let them investigate!"

However, does it count if they just check?

The answer is simple. Lu Shaohua will definitely not let it go. Many people know this, including foreign media. They also know that Lu Shaohua's name is too famous. So famous that they all know that Lu Shaohua will not let it go.

Look at the current environment. There is a global financial crisis. European countries, including the United States and Asia, are all experiencing financial crisis, while Lu Shaohua's Phoenix Group is thriving. There has been no news of Phoenix Group having a funding gap.

There are only a few listed companies under the Phoenix Group. Among them, there is a telecommunications company that is listed, and Yahoo, which is controlled by the Phoenix Group and is listed. Another one is Lenovo Computer, which is also listed by the Phoenix Group.

But now Phoenix Group has stopped its overseas industrial business, which means that Lenovo Computer does not need to be considered at all. Even if there is an impact on the stock market, the most it will suffer is bankruptcy.

As for telecommunications, they are only in Hong Kong and they can hold on. As for Yahoo, the industry is strong, especially with a huge number of users. If you want to touch Yahoo, you have to see if you are qualified enough and have enough money.

Therefore, Phoenix Group will not be greatly affected by the financial crisis. Although the end of the industrial sector has greatly damaged the strength of Phoenix Group, don't forget that everyone now knows that the most profitable part of Phoenix Group is not the industrial sector, but Phoenix Finance.

Last time, the U.S. government secretly investigated the Phoenix Group, and the Phoenix Group found out. What was the result? The result was that Lu Shaohua took advantage of the 9/11 incident, which affected the United States and caused the stock market to fall, and the U.S. financial market was in a mess because of Lu Shaohua.

Two things can be seen from this incident. First, Lu Shaohua is a vengeful person. Second, Lu Shaohua is cruel.

The United States is not a group of random people. Lu Shaohua started a fight as soon as he disagreed with the other party and beat them without any chance of fighting back. What about their country?

You have to know that this caused the Phoenix Group to lose its industrial business. Although it was just adding insult to injury, the grudge was huge. Based on Lu Shaohua's previous character, those reporters had reason to believe that Lu Shaohua's counterattack would definitely be against their country.

What is the current environment? How does it compare to 9/11? How is their country's economic strength compared to the United States?

The answers are all the same, they are not the United States, and their situation is more serious than 9/11!

Therefore, once Lu Shaohua sounded the clarion call for counterattack, the answer would be obvious.

Ruined!

This is what almost all foreign media reporters are thinking.

Compared with foreign media, Hong Kong reporters are happy. Phoenix Group is the signature of Hong Kong. When it comes to national justice, everyone stands on the side of Phoenix Group.

Maybe those reporters had written bad things about Phoenix Group in the past, but at this time, they supported Phoenix Group. Even if Phoenix Group was wrong, they would still support it and defend Phoenix Group.

However, what made the Hong Kong media even happier was that Phoenix Group finally announced that there would be no restrictions on tomorrow's press conference. As long as you have a press card, no matter what TV station you are from or what newspaper you publish, even if it's a horse racing newspaper or an entertainment newspaper, you can all participate.

It's very gratifying, especially for those entertainment newspapers, they are very, very happy.

Just now, at the headquarters of a magazine with eight pages, the chief editor just received the news and almost jumped for joy. Then, his cell phone rang. Someone claimed to have photographed a certain celebrity having a secret meeting with her mysterious boyfriend and wanted to sell the photos for money.

As a result, the chief editor started to curse loudly, and was still unhappy after cursing. He added one more sentence before hanging up: "Brother, don't you read the news? If you don't read it, check it out again. And, let me remind you, you don't need to call other magazines and newspapers. They won't accept it."

The man still didn't believe it and actually called other newspapers. However, the advice was proven true and no newspaper was willing to accept his offer. He finally looked through the news and found out that the chairman of Phoenix Group would hold a press conference tomorrow.

Suddenly, that person felt that he was out of luck and could only let it go.

There is no place for it to be on the front page headlines, and probably only some gossip will be reported in inconspicuous places. As usual, is there any other place to report the celebrity’s private meeting with her mysterious boyfriend?

No, not just tomorrow. The Hong Kong media has reason to believe that in the next week or even half a month, they will not report any other news and will focus all their efforts on Phoenix Group.

……

Some people were happy and some were sad outside, but in Lu Shaohua's villa, it was peaceful. After not sleeping all night, Lu Shaohua went to bed after dealing with some things, and left the rest to Li Shangkui.

Li Shangkui will tell Lu Shaohua what news he received and how to deal with it when he wakes up. Lu Shaohua is not worried at all about this.

However, when Lu Shaohua got up and received the news, he still felt a little bit unbelievable because the situation outside was so crazy. If he turned on the TV, as long as it was a Hong Kong channel, he would see news about the Phoenix Group.

Some TV stations even cancelled some unimportant programs and instead produced a program introducing the development history of Phoenix Group.

This was something Lu Shaohua had not expected, but he quickly calmed down. After listening to Li Shangkui's report and finding that there was no problem, Lu Shaohua asked Li Shangkui to go to rest early, while he went into the study and began to prepare.

It was Lu Shaohua who told Chief Executive Zeng about holding a press conference the next day. At the same time, he also intentionally mentioned it and asked Chief Executive Zeng to release the news. However, Lu Shaohua never expected that Chief Executive Zeng would release it in this way.

But no matter what, it doesn't matter what form the news is released in. What matters is that there will definitely be a lot of reporters arriving tomorrow, from China, Macau, Hong Kong, other Asian countries, Europe and other Western countries. There should be many reporters present.

Therefore, Lu Shaohua is almost certain that there will be no less than 300 reporters at the press conference tomorrow. Faced with such a big scene, Lu Shaohua has to prepare well.

Fortunately, Lu Shaohua didn't have to worry about the venue, as it could be solved with just a phone call. All Lu Shaohua needed to prepare was to record some important information in his notebook and take it with him when the time came. He believed it would be useful.

But even so, Lu Shaohua was still busy for about two hours. Adding on the time he went to sleep and listened to Li Shangkui's report, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Qin Sichen is back too. Yes, Qin Sichen is back from work.

Although the villa was attacked, Qin Si Chen stayed in the basement until she returned to the surface in the early morning. However, there were too many things to do in the Phoenix Group and they could not do without her. After returning to the surface to rest for a while, Qin Si Chen went to work in the group.

"Everyone outside is crazy now." This was the first sentence Qin Sichen said when he saw Lu Shaohua.

"Going crazy is better. It proves that the situation is still on our side." Lu Shaohua responded with a faint smile on his face.

How could Lu Shaohua not know that there was a lot of applause in Hong Kong, but the foreign media were constantly stirring up trouble, saying that Lu Shaohua would not be able to cause any big waves at that time.

"The foreign media didn't say a single good word about us." Qin Sichen lamented.

"The fact that they have nothing nice to say proves that they are afraid, otherwise they wouldn't say such things." Lu Shaohua still had a faint smile on his face.

Isn't it? If they are not afraid, why would they say such harsh words? Just do it, and it will be a waste of words.

"That's indeed the case." Qin Sichen figured it out, but she still couldn't help asking. "Are you sure?"

Whether or not they can fire the first shot of the counterattack is very important to Phoenix Group and Lu Shaohua himself. Although Qin Sichen has always been quite confident in Lu Shaohua, this matter is too important, and Qin Sichen still can't help but feel a little worried.

"I won't do it unless I'm 100% sure." Lu Shaohua gave Qin Sichen a positive answer.

Take one step, look three steps ahead, and think ten steps ahead!

This has always been Lu Shaohua's code of conduct, especially when it comes to life and death, Lu Shaohua will sort out the whole thing and think it through, otherwise he will not act. And now that he is taking action, it proves that Lu Shaohua already has the answer in his mind and is 100% sure.

"That's good." Qin Sichen finally smiled, and added one more sentence. "By the way, the venue has been set up."

"How many people can it accommodate?" Lu Shaohua asked.

"About five hundred people."

“Can we expand the venue?”

"Are you afraid that there are too many people and we can't accommodate them all?" Qin Sichen asked.

"Ah."

"Then I'll call someone to find a way to make it bigger."

"it is good"
