Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 1070: One Size Fits All (Part 1)

The European branch of Phoenix Petroleum Group was facing huge challenges due to demands for compensation from partners and the short-term shortage of important employees. The headquarters of Phoenix Group was also under great pressure because the financial crisis was about to come. Qin Sichen had to take this factor into consideration.

However, the result was not satisfactory. No matter how hard Qin Sichen and the three senior executives of Phoenix Petroleum Group racked their brains, they could not come up with a perfect solution. In the end, Qin Sichen could only bear the pain and let the executive president of Phoenix Petroleum compensate the partner who came to claim compensation according to the agreement in the contract.

However, Qin Sichen also attached a condition, which was that the cooperation would be terminated and Phoenix Petroleum Europe Branch would no longer cooperate with them. In other words, after the compensation, the relationship between the two parties would no longer be a cooperative one.

Qin Sichen's decision seems to be a self-defeating one, but if you think about it carefully, it does not mean that it is a self-defeating decision. It is still for the same reason. The financial crisis is coming. Although it will not cause too much impact on the oil industry, it will definitely have an impact.

Phoenix Group had been prepared in advance, so the impact it would suffer would be greatly reduced, and it would be able to survive the financial storm. However, other oil companies would have to leave it to fate. Once an oil company collapsed, those companies that relied on its cooperation would be finished.

What? Come back to cooperate with Phoenix Petroleum Europe Branch?

That is impossible, and don't think about how tough they are when it comes to claiming compensation. For such a company, both Qin Sichen and Lu Shaohua would make the same decision, which is not to cooperate.

If possible, I would not mind giving it another push, pushing the already dangerous company into the bottomless abyss, and retaliating against their claims.

This was one of Qin Sichen's considerations. Another consideration was that Qin Sichen felt that this matter had a great negative impact on the Phoenix Group. If it was not dealt with as soon as possible, the impact on the Phoenix Group would be even greater if it was delayed for a long time.

Strike a ruthless blow and resolve everything quickly, not only can the Phoenix Group get back on track, but it will also prevent the Phoenix Group from bearing this negative impact!

However, Qin Sichen couldn't help but feel heartbroken, because the price to pay for doing so was too high. Not to mention the compensation would be a huge sum of money, but also a large amount of business would be lost. Business means making money, and now the business is gone, and compensation has to be paid. That is a double loss.

But Qin Sichen knew that if she could not make a decisive decision, the consequences would become more serious as time passed. This was not what Qin Sichen wanted to see, nor was it what Lu Shaohua wanted to see.

After arranging the operations of each link, Qin Sichen announced the end of the meeting. However, she never expected that it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. When she returned to the office to deal with some backlog documents, it was already time to get off work.

Looking at the dozens of documents on the table, Qin Sichen shook his head helplessly. He could only pack up and take the documents home to deal with them.

When Qin Sichen returned home, she couldn't help but cheer up. The reason was very simple. When her car drove into the yard, she found three planes parked in the yard, two small and one large. What else could they be but Lu Shaohua's escort plane and exclusive plane.

Lu Shaohua is back...

Qin Sichen realized that Lu Shaohua had returned to Hong Kong, which made Qin Sichen feel relieved.

The affairs of Phoenix Petroleum Group have almost overwhelmed Qin Sichen, and the other subsidiaries of Phoenix Group also have a lot of things to do. Although Qin Sichen has become accustomed to this busy life, what happened to Phoenix Petroleum Group this time was really too big, causing Qin Sichen unprecedented pressure.

After getting off the car and entering the villa, Lu Shaohua had indeed returned. He was sitting in the living room smoking, looking very leisurely.

Is it really leisurely?

Qin Sichen, who knew Lu Shaohua well, saw a solemn look in Lu Shaohua's eyes. Then, when he saw the channel Lu Shaohua tuned the TV to, Qin Sichen knew even more that Lu Shaohua was actually under a lot of pressure in his heart.

The channel that Lu Shaohua was watching was none other than the Central Channel, and at that moment the Central Channel was broadcasting images from interviews in Wenchuan. Houses had collapsed, and the army was constantly clearing the rubble, making people involuntarily recall the destructive power caused by the earthquake.

If the civilians had not been evacuated in advance, judging from this scene, the death toll would have been astronomical.

Okay, it's all over, there were no casualties, but what about the reconstruction work?

This is definitely a long-standing problem, and Lu Shaohua's solemn expression comes from the long-standing problem of reconstruction work.

However, Qin Sichen's return still woke up Lu Shaohua. He looked up and saw that it was Qin Sichen. Lu Shaohua couldn't help but smile and said lightly, "Are you back?"

"Yeah." Qin Sichen looked a little tired, but her face was less solemn at this moment. In her opinion, Lu Shaohua was the sky. Even if the affairs of Phoenix Petroleum Group were complicated and difficult to resolve, they could be perfectly resolved in front of Lu Shaohua.

Yes, Qin Sichen firmly believes that all problems can be solved smoothly in front of Lu Shaohua. Qin Sichen firmly believes...

However, Qin Sichen was not in a hurry to speak, but went upstairs to put down the documents, changed his clothes, and then walked downstairs with a perfect posture, sat next to Lu Shaohua, and slowly spoke. "The Rockefeller Consortium and the Goldman Sachs Group are in collusion, eyeing our Phoenix Group, starting with the Phoenix Petroleum European Branch, trying to defeat our Phoenix Group."

Qin Sichen's words were neither too much nor too little, but they were able to express the whole story.

"Oh?" Lu Shaohua's eyebrows were wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, which quickly disappeared. Then he asked, "How did they do it?"

What is the Rockefeller Foundation? Lu Shaohua knew very well that they looked very powerful, but in Lu Shaohua's eyes, they were just lambs to be slaughtered. Lu Shaohua could take a bite whenever he wanted.

If a bite is not enough, Lu Shaohua can also injure it, and then wear away its vitality bit by bit, and finally kill it and swallow it in one fell swoop.

As for Goldman Sachs, this fraudulent group, if Lu Shaohua had not seen at the time the complicated relationships behind them and that it was not appropriate for Phoenix Group to take large-scale actions at this stage, he would have eliminated Goldman Sachs long ago.

Now, one is a group that Lu Shaohua can kill at will, and the other is a consortium that looks powerful but has fallen into Lu Shaohua's trap. They have actually joined together and colluded with each other to try to attack the Phoenix Group.

Do they have that ability?

Maybe in their opinion, it would be easy for the two companies to join forces and take down the Phoenix Group, but is it really that easy?

That's just their wishful thinking.

Yes, it was just their wishful thinking. In Lu Shaohua's opinion, their two families were just two flea market clowns who could not cause any trouble.

But even so, Lu Shaohua still felt it necessary to understand how they did it. After all, they had already done it, and it would definitely cause some trouble to the Phoenix Group. If the trouble was not resolved first, it would always be a problem.

"The ones taking action now are just the Rockefeller Consortium. They instigated several people from the European Oil Company to do some small tricks, and then they were fired. Then, because they had too much influence in the company, they instigated again. Now there has been a general strike over there, and the company can't operate normally. Former partners have also come to us and demand compensation." Qin Sichen introduced the general situation.

"How long ago did it happen?" Lu Shaohua's eyes became increasingly cold, and he asked with a strong murderous intent.

"The high-level executives' trickery was discovered a week ago, the general strike took place the day before yesterday, and the demand for compensation took place in the early hours of today." Qin Sichen listed the three important links one by one.

As for the early morning this morning that Qin Sichen mentioned, she believed that Lu Shaohua could understand it. There was a time difference between Hong Kong and Europe, and what happened early morning this morning was equivalent to the morning in Europe.

"How do you deal with it?" Lu Shaohua asked again.

"Compensate those who come to claim compensation, and then terminate the cooperation." Qin Sichen repeated her order, and then did not forget to add one more sentence. "As for the strike, I haven't thought of a better way to explain it yet. I plan to wait until tomorrow to see the situation before making a decision."

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua nodded, indicating that he agreed with Qin Sichen's solution, but he only agreed to the compensation. As for the strike, Lu Shaohua did not think that dragging it out was a good solution.

In Lu Shaohua's opinion, the reason why there was such a big strike was that apart from the fact that those employees wanted to put pressure on Phoenix Group, they were more likely to ask for benefits. Lu Shaohua did not want such employees.

You know, since Phoenix Petroleum took over, it has already increased the wages of the employees. It can be said that the salaries they receive are higher than before. But now they are going on strike. Aren’t they just trying to increase their wages?

For such unsatisfied and greedy employees, Lu Shaohua will take a one-size-fits-all approach and let you eat the rice.

Are you kidding? The financial crisis is about to come, and people are already laying off employees on a large scale, but I haven't heard of any recruitment. Now if we kick those employees out of the company and let them find jobs on their own, can they find jobs?

Others can do it on the first day, and Lu Shaohua can do it on the fifteenth!

Things have become so tense that Lu Shaohua doesn't need to consider them. "It's a one-size-fits-all approach. Anyway, the company's new regulations have been issued a long time ago. Any employee who is absent from work without asking for leave will be fired. Now that a day has passed, those who didn't ask for leave will be considered to have violated the company's regulations and will be fired."

Lu Shaohua handled it with decisive action, but was it appropriate?

No, Lu Shaohua's way of handling the matter was inappropriate. Qin Sichen immediately raised the question.
