Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 903: Locking on the Enemy

"Who is the opponent?"

Lu Shaohua kept thinking about this question while sitting in the car on the way back to Phoenix Building.

In Lu Shaohua's opinion, this incident can be understood as a business competitor or a revenge action, because so far, the phenomena that have evolved from this incident are all directed at the Phoenix Group.

Business competitors engage in a price war with Phoenix Group in the hope that Phoenix Group will be unable to bear the losses brought by low prices and exit the market. At the same time, they spread information that is harmful to Phoenix Group's products and discredit Phoenix Group, also with the goal of forcing Phoenix Group to exit the market.

Judging from this phenomenon, it is entirely the work of business competitors, but Lu Shaohua believes that this possibility is very small. The reason why Lu Shaohua thinks so is that it is impossible for Phoenix Group's competitors to take action on all of Phoenix Group's products.

Of course, opponents can also unite, just like those last time, Microsoft, Apple, Dell, IBM, didn’t they unite together, Phoenix Computer and Phoenix Operating System took action.

Since they can unite, why can't the opponents unite multiple companies to suppress Phoenix Group? But Lu Shaohua thinks that it won't happen. There is a reason for this. The reason is that Phoenix Group has a variety of products. If the opponents want to unite, they must unite at least more than a dozen companies, and these dozen companies must be large companies.

Yes, if the companies that come together are not large, they are not eligible to participate in the action. After all, price wars are not something that ordinary companies can engage in. If they are not large companies, they simply do not have the funds to spend.

And the problem arises here. It seems so unrealistic to have more than a dozen large companies from various industries join together. Let alone how to find these dozen large companies. Even if they are found, can they cooperate closely?

Looking at the current situation, the attack on Phoenix Group's products was very planned, and it was obvious at first glance that it was a group effort. Therefore, the possibility that more than a dozen large companies joined together is very, very small, extremely small, so small that it is impossible.

Of course, it is also possible that there is a very powerful person behind the scenes who can command any company and arrange actions in a unified manner, so it is not impossible to achieve such perfect coordination.

However, if this happens, then the nature of the situation changes and it becomes not a business competitor but a revenge, because if that person does not have a grudge against the Phoenix Group, it is impossible for him to spend such a huge price to unite with others to deal with the Phoenix Group.

After this analysis, Lu Shaohua was almost certain that the opponent was an enemy of Phoenix Group, or possibly an enemy of Lu Shaohua.

Since Lu Shaohua was reborn and founded the Phoenix Group, he has offended many people. However, almost every enemy has been made miserable by Lu Shaohua. If the situation is serious, Lu Shaohua will even wipe out the enemy completely, leaving no future troubles.

Now there are only two enemies in front of Lu Shaohua. One is the US government. Lu Shaohua has just attacked the US financial market and has formed an irreconcilable feud with the United States. However, just a few days ago, Lu Shaohua just reconciled with the US government, and it was witnessed by the No. 1 leader. Lu Shaohua believes that it is almost impossible for the US government to retaliate against him at this time.

Then, there was only one enemy left, and that enemy was the Morgan Consortium. The reason for the enmity with Lu Shaohua was entirely because Soros was too talkative, and then the senior executives of the Morgan Consortium had selfish motives, and they spread Soros' suspicion that the mysterious funds in the US stock market at that time were from Phoenix Financial, which later attracted the US government's secret investigation into the Phoenix Group.

Later on, it became even simpler. Lu Shaohua fought back and defeated the United States, and took the Morgan Consortium with him, attacking several major pillar industries under the Morgan Consortium, including General Electric, General Motors, IBM Computers and a pillar financial company under the Morgan Consortium.

It can be said that while Lu Shaohua attacked the U.S. stock market, he also greatly discredited the Morgan Consortium and made a large sum of money from the Morgan Consortium, while all the losses were borne by the Morgan Consortium. It would be a lie to say that the Morgan Consortium did not bear a grudge against the Phoenix Group.

Therefore, it is very likely that the Morgan Consortium is behind this incident. After all, the Morgan Consortium has the strength to attack the Phoenix Group, and also has the energy to fight against the Phoenix Group.

Of course, there is a premise here, and that is that Lu Shaohua does not include the Tiger Roar Base. If the Tiger Roar Base is included, then the Morgan Consortium will have to be ten times stronger to be able to compete with the Phoenix Group.

"Huh? Financial hacker team?" Lu Shaohua frowned, not having time to appreciate the scenery outside the car window, and muttered to himself.

Just now, Lu Shaohua suddenly remembered something that Li Zhijie once said, that the organization that attacked the Phoenix Bank's network system was a group of financial hackers. If Li Zhijie's intelligence was correct, then Lu Shaohua could be almost 99% sure that the mastermind behind the scenes was the Morgan Consortium.

How did the Morgan Consortium start its business?

It is not difficult to know that the Morgan Consortium was founded on finance and is the leader of the entire Wall Street. For such a consortium, if they say that they do not have a group of financial hackers, Lu Shaohua would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.

There is strength, energy, and a financial hacker organization.

These three clues almost matched the current situation of the Morgan Consortium. In addition, the Morgan Consortium had a grudge against Lu Shaohua, so Lu Shaohua could not help but place his suspicion on them.

Of course, this is just Lu Shaohua's guess. Before any evidence is obtained, Lu Shaohua will not be sure that this incident was created by the Morgan Consortium.

However, this does not mean that Lu Shaohua will suppress this speculation. Since he has a speculation in his mind, Lu Shaohua must confirm it.

So, Lu Shaohua called Qin Sichen in the car, and as soon as the call was connected, Lu Shaohua asked directly, "Is there a company called General Motors among those involved in the siege?"

Speaking of General Motors, many people may be unfamiliar with it, because this American automobile company is not very famous, but if you mention the group to which this automobile company belongs, it is very famous.

General Motors is the parent company of General Motors. General Motors and other companies are also part of the General Motors Group. The founder of this company is one of the most amazing people in history - Edison.

Anyone who has been exposed to science knows that Edison is an inventor, a great inventor. He invented countless things in his life, including the familiar movies, which were also invented by Edison.

However, such a great man founded the General Motors Group and made it glorious for a time. Later, with the death of Edison, it fell into trouble. After several twists and turns, it fell into the hands of the Morgan Consortium and became the pillar core industry of the Morgan Consortium.

Lu Shaohua understood the relationship between General Motors and the Morgan Consortium. In order to confirm whether the Morgan Consortium was behind this, he called Qin Sichen to ask whether General Motors was involved.

If General Motors was involved and played a major role, then Lu Shaohua could almost be sure that the Morgan Consortium was the mastermind behind these events.

Finally, the information Qin Sichen fed back did not disappoint Lu Shaohua. General Motors was really involved and played the role of a commander. It is certain that General Motors is the center of the attack on Phoenix Automobile.

"In addition to General Motors, the Morgan Consortium's presence can be seen in other areas to a greater or lesser extent. For example, in the computer field, IBM is in the lead, and companies such as Apple and Dell are also involved." Qin Sichen added one more piece of information at the end.

"Okay, I got it." Lu Shaohua responded and hung up the phone without saying anything else.

It’s not that Lu Shaohua doesn’t want to say more to Qin Sichen, but Lu Shaohua already has some idea in his heart. In this situation, what Lu Shaohua should do is not to tell Qin Sichen his guess, but to let Li Zhijie arrange someone to investigate.

But then again, Lu Shaohua asked Li Zhijie to arrange people to investigate just to confirm it 100%. In fact, Lu Shaohua was almost certain that the Morgan Consortium was behind this matter.

The reason for this certainty is not entirely because General Motors has gotten involved, but also because Apple and Dell are involved.

In the United States, both Dell and Apple are powerful companies, but they have to obey orders from others. How powerful is the power behind them? The Morgan consortium has the ability to command them, and IBM also got involved. The answer is obvious: it is the Morgan consortium that is behind this.

"Looks like it's a waste of time." Lu Shaohua looked out the window with a smile on his face and muttered to himself.

After confirming who his opponent was, Lu Shaohua was no longer worried. What worried him most was that after being attacked, he still didn't know who the enemy was. The most headache was that he would be in the dark, unable to find the target, and not knowing where to start.

Now that the target has been found, what does Lu Shaohua have to worry about? Lu Shaohua can stabilize the situation first and then launch a counterattack. It is only a matter of time to solve this trouble.

However, Lu Shaohua was more or less unhappy in his heart, because in the final analysis, the Morgan Consortium was at fault first. If Soros hadn't been nosy, how could the US government have secretly investigated the Phoenix Group? And how could Lu Shaohua finally retaliate against the US financial stock market and include the Morgan Consortium in the mix?

The Morgan Consortium had not been brought along, and there had been no revenge from the Morgan Consortium this time. So, in the final analysis, the wrong party was not Lu Shaohua, but the Morgan Consortium. Now, the wrong party has taken the initiative to cause trouble. How could Lu Shaohua give up?

"Since they feel that the last lesson was not enough, then let's give them another harsher lesson." Lu Shaohua still had a smile on his face, but this smile looked sinister.

Yes, Lu Shaohua has already made up his mind to teach the Morgan Consortium a severe lesson, but he has no plan on how to teach them. Everything will have to wait until he returns to the group, listens to the reports from his subordinates, and makes a decision based on the actual situation.
