Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 1 The Counterattack Begins ()

Lu Shaohua ignored everything and didn't care what happened to the car incident outside. It wasn't that Lu Shaohua didn't want to care, but there was no need to care, because Lu Shaohua believed in Xu Jiarui's ability, and he believed that Xu Jiarui and Chen Darong could handle this incident perfectly.

Facts have proved that Lu Shaohua's trust was worthwhile. Xu Jiarui and Chen Darong accomplished this task perfectly. They had clear division of labor. One was responsible for the publicity work of Phoenix Satellite TV, while Xu Jiarui was preparing to expand the market, hoping to take advantage of this favorable wind to successfully open up the Southeast Asian market.

Of course, preparations must be made to open up Southeast Asia, but the response plan for this incident is also being quietly prepared, and preparations have been made on both ends. On the one hand, we are trying to get an internationally authoritative steel certificate, and on the other hand, we are contacting the car manufacturer that jumped out to cause trouble.

It was easy to find that car manufacturer, but there was no rush now. Xu Jiarui did not contact the manufacturer's senior management so quickly, but first collected the company's information for future retaliation.

Speaking of retaliatory strikes, Lu Shaohua had already made arrangements long ago. Of course, Lu Shaohua's arrangements also require the manufacturer to dare to respond. Yes, they must dare to respond, only then can Lu Shaohua's plan succeed.

If Lu Shaohua proposed that the manufacturer drive its best car to collide with the Phoenix car, and they agreed, then Lu Shaohua's plan would be successful, because the result of the collision would definitely be that the Phoenix car would be the winner. Since there is a winner, there will be a loser, and the loser will be the one who suffers great damage to the reputation of their company.

Since it concerns the reputation of a company, anyone with a bit of brains would consider it, and those Koreans must be very smart, but they are too arrogant. As long as Lu Shaohua brings up the matter of two cars colliding, there is an 80% chance of success.

Lu Shaohua's suggestion of a collision between two cars is seen as a provocation by the Koreans. To have someone provoke them at their doorstep is an insult to the self-satisfied Koreans, so the chances of agreeing to it are very high.

This is also the reason why Lu Shaohua came up with this plan. Lu Shaohua understands human nature too well. Anyone would be overwhelmed by provocation, let alone a proud country like South Korea. That's why Lu Shaohua is sure that there is an 80% chance of agreeing to it.

On the other hand, even if they don't agree, it doesn't matter. Lu Shaohua has thousands of ways to arrange this collision of two cars that looks like a duel. To give a simple example, Lu Shaohua can ask Xu Jiarui to arrange for someone in South Korea to tell the media about this matter, so that this matter can be accomplished. After all, if the incident is reported to the media, even if they don't agree, it will be useless.

Of course, this was the worst option. Lu Shaohua still hoped that his opponent would show some courage and simply agree to it, so that Lu Shaohua could save a lot of effort. There was a laborious plan, and there was also a non-laborious plan, which was to just drive a car of that company's brand and collide with the Phoenix car in front of the coal body.

Although it is possible to do so, Lu Shaohua does not want to do so. Doing so will give people a sense of far-fetchedness. Therefore, what Lu Shaohua wants most is that the company is willing to come out and fight. Only then will Lu Shaohua have a sense of accomplishment after winning.

Who doesn't have vanity? I believe no one dares to stand up and say that he doesn't have vanity. In addition to being a reborn person, Lu Shaohua is also a normal person, so he also has vanity. That's why he wants to defeat that company fairly, and the prerequisite for defeating 'it' is that they are willing to come out and fight.

……

The passage of time cannot be stopped by human power. Before we knew it, a day had passed. The development of the incident was just as Xu Jiarui and Lu Shaohua had reported. By the evening, the news had spread throughout Southeast Asia. Some people in Europe and America had also heard of the news. I believe it will spread around the world in less than half a day.

Just as Lu Shaohua guessed, when Lu Shaohua got up the next morning, Chen Darong called him and told him that this incident had become the focus of the world, and it was estimated that it would spread all over the world before noon. Of course, the world here refers to most countries on the planet, and it cannot really spread all over the world, because now both the economy and technology are underdeveloped, so it is normal that many places do not receive news.

But this is nothing. Lu Shaohua does not require the whole world to know about this. As long as some developed areas can know the news, Lu Shaohua will be satisfied. After all, in this era, not many people can afford to buy cars.

The development of the incident was exactly as Lu Shaohua had predicted, and Lu Shaohua was also happy, so happy that he wanted to laugh three times and then shout that he succeeded. However, Lu Shaohua did not do so. Instead, he walked out of the door, looked up at the blue sky, and eased the excitement in his heart.

The blue sky was filled with white clouds, forming a beautiful picture that gradually calmed Lu Shaohua's heart. After taking two deep breaths of fresh air, Lu Shaohua's excitement also subsided. He murmured with some emotion, "I tried to steal a chicken but ended up eating the rice. I wanted to attack the Phoenix Group but ended up making it successful. How unpredictable things are!"

It was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon and time for lunch. Lu Shaohua had finished expressing his feelings and it was time to have lunch and then wait for the show. He walked back and happened to see Lu Xiaoxian coming out of the kitchen wearing a scarf.

"Sister." Lu Shaohua called out.

"Yeah." Lu Xiaoxian smiled and continued, "It's time to eat."

"Okay, I'll be right there." Lu Shaohua responded and walked towards the canteen.

……

After a hearty lunch, Lu Shaohua patted his bulging belly and sat down contentedly on the sofa in the hall. After a while, he picked up the phone and called Xu Jiarui.

The call was connected soon, and Lu Shaohua said lightly without saying much, "Call the staff in South Korea and ask them to provoke the car manufacturer and ask them to collide with our company's car."

"Yeah." Xu Jiarui nodded on the other end of the phone, then frowned and hesitated for a moment before speaking into the phone. "I guess that car manufacturer doesn't want to collide with our company's car."

"Haha, this is not their call. They started this incident, and they must pay the price." Lu Shaohua gloated over the phone, and then said, "If they don't dare to come out and fight, then we will challenge them in front of the coal body."

"Huh? Forced?" Xu Jiarui asked.

"Yes." Lu Shaohua responded.

"What if they are still unwilling to come out to fight? What should we do?" Xu Jiarui asked again.

"Then forget about them and let our employees buy their company's best cars, and then drive them out to collide with each other." Lu Shaohua stated his bottom line, which was also his last move.

"Ok, I see."

"Well, by the way, whether you are willing to come out to fight or not, we must do it in front of the coal body, um, to be fair!" Lu Shaohua's voice became more and more sinister.

"Okay, I'll do it right away." After saying this, Xu Jiarui hung up the phone in a hurry. He couldn't stand Lu Shaohua's sinister tone, and secretly mourned for the Korean car dealer who came to cause trouble.

……

Less than ten minutes after Lu Shaohua hung up the phone, a piece of news appeared on TV that attracted Lu Shaohua. After a quick look, he realized that it was about Phoenix Automobile and a car company issuing a challenge, and that company also responded to the staff of Phoenix Group in South Korea, expressing its willingness to compete with Phoenix Automobile to see which company's car is better.

In response to this, Lu Shaohua smiled and turned off the TV. His expression also changed qualitatively. If outsiders saw it, they would definitely say two words, "sinister". Yes, Lu Shaohua's expression became very sinister, because the big fish had been hooked. The next step was for Lu Shaohua to pull the line and close the net to end this farce.

After turning off the TV, Lu Shaohua wanted to go outside to calm down, but unexpectedly, the phone next to him rang as soon as he got up. Lu Shaohua didn't even look at the caller number and directly picked up the receiver. "Hello! Who is this?"

"Haha! It's me." A steady voice came from the phone. Who else could it be but Stanley Ho?

"Oh, it's Grandpa Huo!" Lu Shaohua said politely.

"Haha, it's me." Huo Yingdong laughed and changed the subject. "You also came up with this conspiracy, right?"

"Yes." Lu Shaohua did not deny it, but admitted it directly. "If you want to ruin the reputation of my Phoenix Group, you must be mentally prepared."

"Oh, you are becoming more and more insidious." Ho Ying-tung's tone became somewhat emotional. Knowing Lu Shaohua well, as soon as he saw the news, he knew that all this was planned by Lu Shaohua, and he also knew that Lu Shaohua's counterattack had officially begun.

"..." Lu Shaohua was speechless for a while, and could only change the subject. "Grandpa Huo! Do you have a meal? I'll go to your place for dinner tonight."

"Haha, come on, I have no shortage of rice, haha." Ho Ying-tung said cheerfully.

"Okay, I'll take my sister with me in the evening." Lu Shaohua said.

"Oh? My dear sister?"

"Yes, she just came to Hong Kong a few days ago, and I'll take her to visit you." Lu Shaohua said lightly. In fact, this was his purpose, to take Lu Xiaoxian to the Huo family to meet Huo Yingdong.

"Haha, come on, if there is anyone else, bring them over as well." Ho Ying-tung said with a smile.

"No more." Lu Shaohua said.

"Haha, okay, I'll wait for you in the evening."

……

After finishing his phone call with Ho Ying-Tong, Lu Shaohua simply sat on the sofa and did not go out of the villa. He leaned on the sofa with his eyes closed to rest, but this posture did not last long, because the phone next to him rang again, bringing Lu Shaohua back to reality.

"Oh, they don't even let me rest. This is not a human way." Lu Shaohua sighed and secretly cursed the person who called him in his heart.

"Hello! Who is this?"
