Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 407: Negative Hype (Part 1)

Lu Shaohua was very angry at this time, but his good psychological quality prevented him from exploding. Instead, he kept it in his heart. However, it was not difficult to tell from his expression that he was on the verge of going crazy and might explode at any time. It could be said that he was like a powder keg and would explode completely as long as there was a spark.

Li Yunqing and Qin Sichen didn't dare to speak, but sat there quietly, because they all knew that if something went wrong, Lu Shaohua, who had never lost his temper, might get furious. People with bad tempers are not scary, but those who know how to restrain themselves are scary. Once they explode, it will form a big storm.

Li Yunqing was better off. He only managed Phoenix Finance. Phoenix sales were none of his business. If Lu Shaohua wanted to lose his temper, it would not be on him. However, he still felt reluctant. Lu Shaohua had worked so hard to create the Phoenix Group, and it had taken several years of development to get to where it is today. But he watched as the people below almost destroyed the reputation he had worked so hard to build. As a veteran, Li Yunqing also felt reluctant!

As for Qin Sichen, her thoughts were much more complicated. First, this incident happened under her management at Phoenix Sales, and she had direct responsibility, which meant dereliction of duty. Second, the person who discovered this incident was not her, the executive president, but Li Yunqing, a person who had nothing to do with it. Of course, she was not angry because Li Yunqing told this matter. On the contrary, she would thank Li Yunqing because it was still early to discover it, and things had not reached an irreversible point. As long as it was handled well, it would be possible to make up for the loss and recover the losses.

It's just that Qin Sichen was wrong. Oh, no, it can't be said that she was wrong, but her consideration was too limited. He only knew how to make up for the loss, and did not think about whether he could use this incident to build momentum for the company after it happened.

The incident of taking kickbacks seemed to be a bad thing on the surface, and Lu Shaohua was very angry, but his anger did not go to his head. The first thing he did was to think of a countermeasure, and he came up with it not long ago, and it was a countermeasure that was beneficial to the group.

So, after Lu Shaohua controlled the deputy general manager named Du, he began to lay out the plan and arrange the follow-up matters, and making a phone call was the first step in Lu Shaohua's plan.

"Manager Chen? This is Lu Shaohua. Please come to my office now." When the call was connected, Lu Shaohua's first words were to ask the other party to come to his office.

There are not many managers with the surname Chen in Phoenix Group, and the general manager of Phoenix Entertainment is only one, Chen Darong.

Chen Darong is now considered a prominent figure in Hong Kong, but this is only to outsiders. Although he also has a certain status in the Phoenix Group, it is far less glorious than outside, because Chen Darong knows very well that the Phoenix Group can operate without him. If there is a major mistake, he will also pack up and leave.

Especially when facing the mysterious boss Lu Shaohua, Chen Darong had to behave himself, because everything he had now was given by Lu Shaohua. What's more, he had seen Lu Shaohua's methods before, which could directly prevent a star from getting into the entertainment industry.

Lu Shaohua could make a star unable to get into the entertainment industry, so what about Chen Darong? It was the same. Lu Shaohua had every chance to make him unable to get into Hong Kong. So when he received Lu Shaohua's call, he didn't dare to stay for a moment. He put down the work at hand and went directly to the 30th floor.

There were only two chairs in front of the desk in Lu Shaohua's office, which were occupied by Qin Sili and Li Yunqing. There was no room for Chen Darong to sit in the two chairs. Lu Shaohua simply stopped talking in the office. When Chen Darong came into his office, he stood up and said calmly, "Let's go to the conference room to talk."

The 30th floor of Phoenix Building belongs to Lu Shaohua alone. Next to his office is a small conference room. If someone has something to say, Lu Shaohua will choose to speak here and will never stay in the office.

Everyone sat down, and Lu Shaohua's voice also rang out in the conference room. "Boss Qin, please tell Manager Chen what happened, and I'll tell you how to deal with it later."

Although Qin Sichen is the executive president and his rank is one level higher than Chen Darong, Lu Shaohua still asked Qin Sichen to introduce the matter. The reason is simple. Lu Shaohua is the boss and it is impossible for him to explain the course of events to Manager Chen, so he can only choose to let Qin Sichen do it.

Qin Sichen did not mind the level, because now was not the time to worry about these things. The important thing right now was how to deal with this matter to avoid affecting the reputation of Phoenix Group. So almost as soon as Lu Shaohua finished speaking, Qin Sichen began to introduce the whole process of the incident.

"" Soon, Qin Sichen told everything one by one, and then looked at Lu Shaohua. The meaning was very clear, telling Lu Shaohua that she had finished speaking and was waiting for him to speak.

"The whole story is clear. Phoenix Group has been established in Hong Kong for several years and finally gained the reputation it has today. But who would have thought that such insects would appear inside? It makes me very sad." Lu Shaohua sighed with a dark face and pondered for a long time before saying, "So, this matter must be dealt with seriously and will not be tolerated."

Lu Shaohua has already expressed his position, and his tone is irrefutable. He directly sentenced the deputy general manager surnamed Du to death.

"Mr. Lu, I personally think it's inappropriate. If our group makes a big move, it may have a negative impact on their group." Qin Sichen heard the firmness in Lu Shaohua's tone, but at this time, she had to stand up and refute it.

Just as she said, if any major action is taken it will have a negative impact on Phoenix Group. This is something Qin Sichen should consider as an executive president. It is for this reason that Qin Sichen had to stand up and refute Lu Shaohua's decision.

Lu Shaohua was dissatisfied with Qin Sichen's rebuttal. On the contrary, he was satisfied with Qin Sichen's consideration from the perspective of the group. He stopped and said, "Boss Qin, don't be anxious. We must make a big move, and let outsiders know. This will greatly deter those insiders with malicious intentions."

Qin Sichen was puzzled by Lu Shaohua's behavior.

Chen Darong and Li Yunqing were also puzzled. They didn't know why Lu Shaohua did it in such a high-profile manner, but one thing was certain, Lu Shaohua had his reasons for doing so, because Phoenix Group was owned by him, Lu Shaohua, and Lu Shaohua would never bear to see Phoenix Group's reputation ruined because of this incident.

From the moment Lu Shaohua sat down on the chair, his eyes had never left the faces of Qin Sichen and the other three. Naturally, Lu Shaohua caught the changes in their facial expressions, and at the same time he also understood their confusion.

With a faint smile, Lu Shaohua said in an unfathomable way. "On the surface, this may seem like a bad thing, but if it is hyped well, it may not be a bad thing. On the contrary, it may even give our Phoenix Group a good reputation."

Are you kidding? Phoenix Group belongs to Lu Shaohua. Would he have the heart to let it lose its reputation? The answer is obviously not possible. And preparing to make a big move is also a hype for Phoenix Group. As long as the hype is done properly, negative news can also become positive news.

As for how to hype it up, we have to talk about the influence of Phoenix Satellite TV. After several years of development, Phoenix Satellite TV has become one of the two giants in Hong Kong. It is a TV station of the same level as TVB8 (Wireless). Under the guidance of Phoenix Satellite TV, it is not difficult to hype it up into positive news. What's more, Lu Shaohua has a good relationship with Uncle Shao, so it is no problem to ask TVB8 for a little help.

As for who controls Phoenix Satellite TV, it goes without saying that it is linked to Phoenix Entertainment. This is why Lu Shaohua called Chen Darong up, because Chen Darong is the top leader of Phoenix Entertainment, and who else can he go to if not him.

"Oh?" Still confused, Qin Sichen didn't know what Lu Shaohua was up to.

The same was true for Chen Darong, he still couldn't figure it out.

Li Yunqing was different. He had been with Lu Shaohua the longest, since Phoenix Group was not yet established. He knew that Lu Shaohua would never fight a battle without confidence, so not long after Lu Shaohua spoke, Li Yunqing vaguely understood something, but he did not say it out loud.

Lu Shaohua smiled strangely. He had almost finished keeping the secret, so he stopped talking and said, "Manager Chen, call the TV station now and ask them to send their most capable reporter to interview Mr. Qin. I want this to be reported on the news immediately."

After a pause, Lu Shaohua continued, "Oh! Remember, you have to find a powerful reporter. You can ask whatever questions you want. It's best to ask sensitive questions, such as whether the kickback incident was decided within the Phoenix Group. Don't hesitate."

Chen Darong frowned. If he followed Lu Shaohua's instructions, it would undoubtedly push the reputation of Phoenix Group into the abyss. He moved his lips and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it. Instead, he said seriously, "Okay, I'll do it now."

"Go ahead, do it now and let the reporters go directly to Mr. Qin's office to wait." Lu Shaohua waved his hand, indicating that Chen Darong could go.

Chen Darong took the order and left, but that was not the end. Lu Shaohua only took the first step of his plan. The second and third steps had not yet been arranged.

"Mr. Qin, don't you understand why I do this?" Lu Shaohua asked with a smile.

It is undeniable that although Qin Sichen is smart, she was a little slow to react to such a big incident, and she did not think carefully about some aspects. "Yes, I think if this incident is reported in the news, our group may be in trouble."

"No!" Lu Shaohua directly denied Qin Sichen's words, and then said, "Not only will there be no trouble, but it will also win a fair reputation for our group."

"Oh?" Qin Sichen was still confused.
