Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 320 High Compensation

A representative of Phoenix Group revealed to Coal Media that they demanded an apology from the other company. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was Phoenix Group's attempt to restore its reputation. To put it bluntly, it was trying to save face after victory. However, this was understandable. After all, the other party had tarnished the reputation of Phoenix Group and caused them damage for no reason. It was only right that they should make a public apology.

On the surface it seems as they should, but for the Korean side it is not as they should. Instead, they feel that Phoenix Group is getting too far. After all, this is Korean territory and they are the local bosses. Asking them to apologize publicly would be a loss of face. If the issue is raised to a higher level, it would be a loss of face for the country, since Phoenix Group is a Hong Kong company.

People need to maintain their reputation when they live, let alone the always arrogant South Korea. Asking them to apologize is no different from asking for their lives. So when Phoenix Group asked for an apology, they also responded, saying that they would not apologize publicly and that they were not at fault.

This matter was caused by that car manufacturer from the very beginning. Phoenix Group has a lot of evidence to prove that it was they who raised doubts about Phoenix Automobile, so Lu Shaohua is not worried about any accidents. On the contrary, he is more willing to see them continue to be arrogant. The more arrogant they are, the more it will play into Lu Shaohua's hands, allowing Phoenix Group to more legitimately add fuel to the fire and make the muddy water even more muddy.

Now that the Korean side has responded that they will not apologize, Lu Shaohua will no longer be polite. No, it should be said that all of this is part of Lu Shaohua's plan. There is no such thing as being polite or not. Even if the other side does not respond to an apology, Lu Shaohua will find a way to add fuel to the fire.

As the saying goes, it is better to lose the battle than the personal defeat. The Korean side has already responded. Lu Shaohua no longer hesitated and called Xu Jiarui's office.

"It's me, Lu Shaohua." As soon as the call was connected, Lu Shaohua introduced himself and continued, "Let the people over there spread the news of the lawsuit, and then send someone to formally sue them in the High Court of South Korea for defamation."

"Yes, I understand." Xu Jiarui responded without hesitation. After a moment's silence, he continued to raise his concerns. "Mr. Lu, if we sue the Korean High Court, will the High Court side with them just because we are outsiders?"

"Do you mean they will be biased?" Lu Shaohua asked back.

"Well, that's my guess."

"Haha, your guess is not without reason." Lu Shaohua laughed. He had thought of this a long time ago, but he did not say it out loud. He waited until the lawsuit was completed before making a second-hand preparation. But now that Xu Jiarui had spoken out first, Lu Shaohua did not hold back any more and said, "It cannot be said whether they will or not, but it is 100% certain."

At the end, Lu Shaohua paused and continued, "My arrangement to file a lawsuit with the Korean High Court is just a formality. Our main event should be in the International Court of Justice."

Lu Shaohua did not expect the Korean High Court to make a fair ruling. The other party would definitely take the "delayed approach" approach, which would eventually lead to nothing. If it could not be delayed, then it would just be a light punishment.

Lu Shaohua is not a kind person. Since he has anticipated the result, he will naturally not go this route. Instead, he chooses to take the international route, which will not only allow him to re-establish his influence but also allow him to get effective treatment.

"Well, don't worry, I will arrange it." Xu Jiarui assured.

"Well, while dealing with this matter, don't give up on expanding the market. After all, opportunities are rare." Lu Shaohua said meaningfully.

"clear."

……

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shaohua did not stop, but picked up the phone again and made another call. This call was not to anyone else, but to Li Zhijie. The purpose was to get the intelligence system moving to prevent any accidents.

The car incident might seem over to outsiders, but Lu Shaohua knew that it was far from over. Of course, the initiative was in Lu Shaohua's hands, and he could end it immediately if he wanted to, but the problem was that Lu Shaohua was unwilling to end it like this.

Since it's not over yet, in order to prevent the Korean man from getting into trouble, Lu Shaohua can only take precautions in advance and let Li Zhijie and others get involved so that they can respond quickly when an unexpected situation occurs.

Although Li Zhijie was far away in Africa, he had built a large intelligence network. Naturally, the car incident in South Korea could not be hidden from him. When the call was connected, Li Zhijie asked, "Is it about the car incident?"

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua laughed and said directly without further ado. "Well, they are adding fuel to the fire now. I'm afraid if I push them too far, they will resort to shady tactics."

"What do you need me to do?" Li Zhijie seemed to understand what Lu Shaohua meant and went straight to the center.

"Concentrate your forces and monitor their movements. If there is an emergency, you can take direct action." Although Lu Shaohua's tone was calm, it revealed a murderous aura.

"Okay." Li Zhijie responded heavily.

The reason why Li Zhijie was able to quickly gain a foothold in Africa, in addition to the massive financial support from Lu Shaohua, was because of his ruthlessness. It was precisely because of his ruthlessness that he became the current Tiger Roar. In other words, Tiger Roar jumped over the corpses of his enemies.

As the founder of Tiger Roar, Li Zhijie's hands were covered in blood. Killing people and taking away the sexual intercourse of those he considered to be enemies was just like a daily routine, and it couldn't be easier. Now Lu Shaohua asked him to keep a close eye on the Korean country and take action directly when necessary, so Li Zhijie would naturally not hold back, and that's why Li Zhijie responded heavily.

……

After explaining the operation of the intelligence system, Lu Shaohua was free from worries and could finally relax. The next step was to wait for victory in the case to bring the reputation of Phoenix Group to a new level.

"Reputation", yes, it is reputation, Lu Shaohua made a fuss about this matter just for this reputation. Of course, it is not ruled out that Lu Shaohua has hatred towards the Korean country, but the most important thing is that Lu Shaohua wants to take this opportunity to make the word "Phoenix" famous.

You should know that a group's brand name plays a vital role in its future development. Once the reputation is established, future products will be labeled "Phoenix products, must be high-quality"!

To give a simple example, the car that Lu Shaohua rides in, the Rolls-Royce brand, has built its image as a high-end sedan in later generations after a long period of accumulation. Therefore, reputation is very important. When the brand becomes famous all over the world, all products produced by that company will be automatically marked with a brand name symbol.

This is what is called a famous brand. In fact, the reason why famous brands come about is because of publicity. What Lu Shaohua needs to do now is to promote the brand of Phoenix Group and make it a world famous brand.

……

Time passed neither fast nor slow. A week had passed. Since the day Lu Shaohua asked Xu Jiarui to appeal to the High Court of South Korea, there had been no result for a week. As time passed, Xu Jiarui's heart, which had still held a little hope, was finally completely shattered. He angrily gathered the evidence, disclosed it to the media, and then submitted it to the International Court of Justice.

At this point, the car incident had become an international incident, and Xu Jiarui's lawsuit for compensation was shockingly high, asking for $50 million and a public apology. $50 million! In 1992, $50 million was an astronomical figure, and it was precisely because of this amount that the world was shocked and Phoenix Group once again became the focus.

Becoming the focus of the world, everyone knows that Phoenix Group is serious this time, but who knows that all this is controlled by a teenager! Yes, whether it is a compensation of 50 million US dollars or a public apology, it is all part of Lu Shaohua's plan. Lu Shaohua also knows that the high amount of compensation will shock the whole world, but Lu Shaohua resolutely does so because his purpose is to make Phoenix Group famous.

Obviously, Lu Shaohua's goal has been achieved. The reputation of Phoenix Group is as high as the sun, and the car manufacturer in South Korea has become irrelevant. However, Lu Shaohua has no intention of letting it go. He continued with the lawsuit and refused to give in to the compensation, which was still 50 million US dollars.

Although Lu Shaohua is rich, who would complain about having too much money? Lu Shaohua regards the 50 million US dollars as a windfall, so he will not give up this easy-to-get windfall, and he will fight the lawsuit to the end.

As time slowly approached, a few days passed, and August was coming to an end. In two days, August would pass and a new January would come. However, today, two people were suddenly missing from the Phoenix Group. These two people were none other than Liu Mingzhang and his wife.

The outside world did not notice the disappearance of the two people. Only Li Yunqing and Lu Shaohua knew where they went. As for other internal staff, they did not know either. They only knew that they could not see the vice president of the group, but had no idea where they went.

On the afternoon of the same day after Liu Mingzhang and the others left, news finally came from the International Court of Justice, but the news was sent to the Phoenix Group instead of being notified directly to Lu Shaohua.

But this doesn't matter. The fact that Phoenix Group headquarters received the news means that Lu Shaohua will know the news soon, because when Xu Jiarui learned the news, Xu Jiarui called Lu Shaohua immediately.

"Hello! Is this Mr. Lu?" Xu Jiarui asked excitedly the moment the call was connected.

Lu Shaohua was stunned. He recognized Xu Jiarui's voice. His mind was spinning rapidly. After a moment, he said, "It's me. Is there any news over there?"

"Well, I just received the news that the verdict has come out."

"Oh, how did it turn out?"
