Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 990: Resurrection...

Lu Shaohua asked the No. 1 leader to borrow 500 billion US dollars. Whether the No. 1 leader would lend it or not was up to him. However, Lu Shaohua was absolutely sure that the No. 1 leader would agree, because Lu Shaohua had already reminded him in his previous words that if he did not lend it, then Lu Shaohua would not be able to make money for the country.

Although Lu Shaohua's words were very obscure, Lu Shaohua believed that with the intelligence of the No. 1 leader, he could definitely hear the meaning contained in Lu Shaohua's words. And the facts also proved that the No. 1 leader did hear it, so he agreed after a little consideration.

In this way, Lu Shaohua had an extra 500 billion US dollars in his hands, but he owed 500 billion US dollars. However, Lu Shaohua did not take it to heart. After all, 500 billion US dollars was not a lot of money for him.

Don't forget that Lu Shaohua's current net worth is as high as tens of trillions of US dollars. Fifty trillion US dollars is really nothing. What's more, there are a large number of advanced military technologies in Lu Shaohua's Tiger Roar secret base. If there is no way to withdraw five hundred billion US dollars to return to the country, the worst that can be done is to use technology to pay off the debt!

Perhaps Chief No. 1 also knew that Lu Shaohua had valuable technology. In addition, Phoenix Group was too important, so important that it affected tax payments. Therefore, Chief No. 1 only considered it for a moment before agreeing to lend Lu Shaohua 500 billion US dollars.

Now that the money had been borrowed, Lu Shaohua naturally would not say much. He only asked the No. 1 leader to make preparations as soon as possible, and then sent a team of traders to Hong Kong to obey the command of Liu Mingzhang and others. As for other matters, that was no longer something Lu Shaohua wanted to control.

Five hundred billion US dollars were solved, but it was still half of Lu Shaohua's goal of ten trillion US dollars. Therefore, after hanging up the call with the No. 1 leader, Lu Shaohua called Li Zhijie without any hesitation and told him about asking him to raise another five hundred billion US dollars.

Lu Shaohua suddenly added another 500 billion US dollars. Li Zhijie naturally knew that Lu Shaohua would definitely be able to use it, so he agreed without even thinking about it and said that he would try his best to raise the money.

Li Zhijie agreed very quickly, but Lu Shaohua knew that Li Zhijie had no choice but to agree, because Li Zhijie promised to raise 500 billion US dollars, which would inevitably sacrifice some projects and even the entire Tiger Roar Base would have to tighten its finances.

But times have changed. In the past, Lu Shaohua would not have raised an additional 500 billion US dollars. But now it is different. After being attacked by assassins sent by the Rothschild family, Lu Shaohua decided that he could no longer be so passive. He had to raise more money and take advantage of the financial crisis to sweep the world and make more money. He might even acquire the Rothschild family's industries after the financial crisis broke out.

Lu Shaohua needs money to make more money, to acquire the Rothschild family's industries, to make Phoenix Group rise immediately after the financial crisis, and to control oil.

It can be said that no matter whether it is future plans or current actions, Lu Shaohua needs more money. This is the last financial crisis in Lu Shaohua’s memory. Lu Shaohua needs to take this opportunity to make more money.

It was because of these issues that Lu Shaohua suddenly added another $1 trillion in investment in an attempt to make more money.

The funds are now being prepared, and Lu Shaohua just needs to wait.

Soon, the money that the country agreed to lend to Lu Shaohua arrived in his account. After confirming that the money had been received, Lu Shaohua immediately called the No. 1 leader to express his gratitude to the country. At the same time, Lu Shaohua also gave one more reminder, saying that the financial crisis at this time was far beyond what people could imagine, and he hoped that the country could think in the most serious direction, so as to minimize the losses.

Even with Lu Shaohua's ability, he had no way to prevent his brainchild, Phoenix Group, from the financial crisis. One can imagine how big the impact of the financial crisis was, let alone a country. It was almost impossible to avoid it. The only thing that could be done was to minimize the losses.

The No. 1 leader seemed to have convened financial experts to analyze the current situation, but the result of the analysis was calm, without any waves. Of course, domestic financial experts also said that if there were external factors, it was not impossible for a global financial storm to break out.

For this purpose, the No. 1 leader specifically told Lu Shaohua everything the domestic experts had said word for word. The meaning was very clear, he hoped Lu Shaohua could give him some insight.

The No. 1 leader had said so much, so Lu Shaohua could no longer pretend to be mysterious, and spoke up. "If there is a problem in the U.S. real estate subprime mortgage market, and the U.S. economic bubble that has existed for many years bursts, do you think it is possible that a global financial storm will break out?"

The financial crisis in 2008 was caused by problems in the U.S. subprime mortgage market. At the beginning, nothing was discovered, just something a little wrong. This also shows that the U.S. economy is strong and there was no major chaos.

But it is a big hidden danger after all. As the saying goes, if you don't treat a minor illness, it will eventually turn into a major illness. Once a major illness breaks out, the whole body will be affected, and the whole world will be involved.

It was obvious that the No. 1 leader understood economics. Even if Lu Shaohua didn't explain it too clearly, he could confirm it with a little thought. "If that's the case, I think a global financial crisis is inevitable."

"hehe…"

Lu Shaohua laughed and then continued, "According to reliable information, the United States is already in trouble, but their economy is strong and you can't see any problems unless you look closely. But if you dig deeper, you will find that other financial storms can no longer be stopped."

Lu Shaohua came up with some wording, and the purpose was obvious, which was to cover up the secret of his rebirth and find the most perfect excuse for why he knew that there would be a financial crisis.

Because Chief No. 1 knew very well that Lu Shaohua had an intelligence network under his command. As for how big the intelligence network was, Chief No. 1 did not know. However, one thing was certain, that is, with Lu Shaohua's close relationship with the Tiger Roar Base, it was not difficult to obtain some intelligence from the Tiger Roar Intelligence Network.

Therefore, Chief No. 1 did not doubt the source of Lu Shaohua's intelligence, and at the same time, Chief No. 1 also believed that Lu Shaohua's intelligence was true. So, at this moment, Chief No. 1 made up his mind to let the intelligence department of the National Security Bureau collect intelligence and confirm whether it was really as Lu Shaohua said.

The matter had been discussed, and Lu Shaohua did not say any more to the No. 1 leader. He hung up the phone directly and focused all his energy on his work.

There is only one thing Lu Shaohua needs most now, and that is to make Phoenix Group recover quickly so that it can withstand the coming financial crisis.

……

That day, Lu Shaohua summoned Xu Jiarui to inquire about the sales of Phoenix Group's products and the market response.

Although Lu Shaohua received statistical reports, they were in document form after all, and were far less comprehensive than real-person reports. It was precisely because of this incompleteness that Lu Shaohua summoned Xu Jiarui to ask about the situation, especially the market reaction, which was something Lu Shaohua was eager to know.

"What's the reaction outside?" Lu Shaohua asked directly.

The market's response is related to Phoenix Group's road to recovery. At the same time, it can also be used to judge the effectiveness of efforts over this period of time. If the market's response has improved, then there is no doubt that the efforts over this period of time have been fruitful, and there is hope on the road to recovery.

If the market's reaction is somewhat reluctant, it means that the efforts during this period are not enough, or even that the strategy is wrong. If this happens, Lu Shaohua will have to find other solutions.

Fortunately, the market responded well, and Xu Jiarui spoke up. "Our Phoenix Group has always had a good reputation. The reason why the market share shrank so much this time was entirely due to price and stigma. Now that the price war has ended and the stigma has disappeared, the performance has recovered, and the speed is not slow. Given time, it is certain that it will recover. Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, under the condition of no wind or waves."

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua nodded, and then asked, "If we increase our advertising campaign, is it possible to speed up the recovery?"

"Advertising will definitely be effective, and the greater the intensity, the greater the effect." Xu Jiarui gave Lu Shaohua his consent directly.

"Okay, then let's get back to the big advertising campaign. Well, you list a few important regions and hand them over to President Qin. I'll tell her to make the list you listed a key target." Lu Shaohua gave the order directly.

The strategy adopted by Lu Shaohua was very simple. He first increased advertising in some important areas to revive that area, and then slowly pulled up other areas. It was just like China's economic development model. First, let some people get rich, and then slowly make progress until everyone gets rich.

"I'll make a list as soon as I get back." Xu Jiarui nodded and said.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua responded softly, then changed the subject and asked, "How is the recent sales growth rate?"

"Soon, it was above 10% every day, but this situation probably cannot be maintained for too long. In the later stages, the speed may drop down." Xu Jiarui said truthfully.

"It's normal for it to drop. After all, it's abnormal to maintain a 10% growth rate. But it doesn't matter, as long as it's recovering." Lu Shaohua nodded, and then added, "Of course, you have to find ways to recover as quickly as possible."

"I will."

"Ah."

……

Xu Jiarui left and Lu Shaohua breathed a sigh of relief, with a slight smile on his face. But soon, Lu Shaohua's smile disappeared, because at this time, Li Shangkui hurried in, leaned over and whispered something in Lu Shaohua's ear, making Lu Shaohua's face gloomy.
