Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 1071: One Cut, One Cut (Part 2)

Lu Shaohua's handling of the matter was inappropriate? Is that really unfair?

Lu Shaohua founded the Phoenix Group. If he didn't have certain skills, it would be impossible for him to develop the Phoenix Group into what it is now. Maybe Lu Shaohua will make mistakes in decision-making, but one thing is certain, that is, in major decisions, Lu Shaohua will not make big mistakes.

As it is now, it can be regarded as a major decision, because Lu Shaohua adopted a one-size-fits-all approach to solve it, that is, to expel all employees participating in the strike from Phoenix Petroleum Europe Branch.

You know, this strike is not a small-scale strike, it is almost a collective strike, but Lu Shaohua wants to fire them all. Wouldn't that really stop the entire company from operating?

Qin Sichen never thought that Lu Shaohua would make such a decision, but she was convinced that she had heard correctly that Lu Shaohua was planning to fire all the employees. Now, Qin Sichen was anxious.

"What should we do with the company?" Qin Sichen asked.

However, Lu Shaohua did not rush to answer, but smiled faintly, and replied after a long time. "Close the European branch of Phoenix Petroleum."

Taking the initiative to close a company, this was Lu Shaohua's decision, but Lu Shaohua did not finish his words. He paused for a while, as if giving Qin Sichen some time to accept it, and then continued. "Phoenix Petroleum Europe Branch has just been taken over from the Rockefeller Consortium. I guess our Phoenix Group has no new partners after taking over?"

In response to Lu Shaohua's question, Qin Sichen nodded, indicating that he agreed with what Lu Shaohua said.

"It's obvious. Since they are partners of the old master, and the old master has taken action against us, the new master, they must have persuaded those partners to come and claim compensation from Phoenix Petroleum. And you have already made the decision to terminate the cooperation after compensation, which means that our Phoenix Petroleum Europe Branch actually has no business." Having said this, Lu Shaohua paused for a moment and then continued. "Since there is no business, why do you keep so many idle people, and they are a group of idle people who are paid high salaries but know nothing about sex? How can the company develop if you don't take this opportunity to clean them up?"

"What's more, they have deceived our master. Can't our master get angry and make them lose their jobs and go home to eat old rice?" Lu Shaohua's tone became faster and faster, and in the end, he spoke quickly and with strong anger.

Lu Shaohua had already thought about firing those employees. Those employees had no other choice but to stay at home and eat rice, because they would not be able to find a job in a short period of time. At least, it would be difficult for them to find a job before the financial crisis was over.

This is revenge, naked revenge, revenge against a group of foolish people who are paid high salaries but want to ride on their masters' heads.

At this point, Qin Sichen had already reacted. Just as Lu Shaohua said, the partner who came to claim compensation terminated the cooperation after compensation. So Phoenix Petroleum Europe Branch was actually an embroidered pillow with only a facade.

In this case, it would be beneficial to choose to fire the employees who participated in the strike. Not only can it save expenses, but it can also eliminate hidden dangers. More importantly, it can let the world see the determination of Phoenix Group and warn the employees of Phoenix Group's overseas companies that if there is a strike like this time, their fate will be to be fired from Phoenix Group.

Lu Shaohua is a strong person. He does not allow any strike to happen because in his previous life, Lu Shaohua always heard that a certain company had a big strike, causing so much loss, and the company's top management was helpless and so on.

Although in Europe and the United States, the trade unions there are very powerful and they are the ones who organize strikes, but in Lu Shaohua's eyes, those so-called trade unions are nothing but clouds. If they dare to cause trouble, Lu Shaohua doesn't care about the rights of their trade unions and the laws of those countries.

Law? Rights?

Those were said to some people who have no power, not including Lu Shaohua. Lu Shaohua’s current power is enough to override the laws of any country, even the United States. Lu Shaohua can still step on the head of the United States.

There is no exaggeration. If it were a few years ago, Lu Shaohua would not dare to say it is 100%, but it is different now. The financial crisis is destined to bring bad luck to the United States, but Lu Shaohua has taken advantage of the financial crisis to increase his strength. In this case, why should Lu Shaohua be afraid of the United States?

It was precisely because of all these factors that Lu Shaohua decided to cut it off with one stroke and eliminate the malignant tumor that had already festered.

"Actually, there are many very capable people among those people." Qin Sichen's words sounded a little weak, but it could not be denied that Qin Sichen was persuading Lu Shaohua to withdraw his decision.

"When will there be no talent?" Lu Shaohua asked back, and then added, "Many companies will be laying off employees. By then, there will be plenty of people to choose from for whatever talent we want. Why worry about not being able to find people?"

It is hard to find a three-legged frog, but there are plenty of people with two legs!

Lu Shaohua was not afraid of not being able to find talented people, which was why he unscrupulously fired those who participated in the strike.

It can be said that Lu Shaohua's move can definitely be regarded as killing three birds with one stone. With such a good thing happening, how could Lu Shaohua resist taking action?

Obviously, Qin Sichen made a common mistake again. It was not that Qin Sichen did not think about it in detail, but that the direction of Qin Sichen's thinking at the beginning was wrong. He was too concerned about the overall situation and did not think about breaking down and then building up.

But now Qin Sichen's thinking has changed. He felt that what Lu Shaohua said did not make sense, so he nodded, indicating that he agreed with Lu Shaohua's decision.

But Lu Shaohua never thought of letting it go. In his opinion, since someone dared to play tricks on his company, Lu Shaohua would never let him go. Lu Shaohua didn't want to let any of those old servants of the Rockefeller Consortium go.

"Have you collected any evidence of those tricks?" Lu Shaohua asked.

"According to the investigation, there are five people, three of whom have solid evidence, and two of whom did it very cleanly, and no evidence can be found." After saying this, Qin Sichen seemed to find some loopholes in his words, and quickly added a sentence. "It is true that there is no evidence for the time being, but if we dig deeper, we should be able to find evidence."

"No need for that. If you can't find evidence, use other means to deal with it. As for those who have evidence, just sue them directly in the local court. At the same time, hold a press conference to ruin their reputation." Lu Shaohua said murderously.

The tricks are nothing more than destroying the company, such as leaking secrets, falsifying accounts and so on. These methods are all crimes, but the charges are not serious. Only the crimes of leaking information and embezzling public funds are slightly more serious. The others can be covered up by some means.

Since they are being instructed by the Rockefeller Foundation, it is obviously not feasible to deal with them through legal means. All the Rockefeller Foundation needs to do is spend some money and take some action, and those people will be safe.

In order to prevent this from happening, Lu Shaohua planned to make the matter public. In this way, his reputation would be ruined. Lu Shaohua no longer believed that those people could be of any use to the Rockefeller Foundation.

Once the matter became public, the Rockefeller Foundation would probably not even help them, because if the Rockefeller Foundation took action, it would make it clear to others that everything about Phoenix Petroleum Europe was related to them.

Unless his brain is stuck in the door, he will not do anything that will damage his own reputation.

Abandoned pawns, this was the only fate of those people. They were treated as abandoned pawns by the Rockefeller Consortium and kicked away.

Of course, this only refers to the three people with evidence. As for the two people without evidence, Lu Shaohua has his own ways to deal with them.

What means?

What will be the fate of those who dare to offend others? From Lu Shaohua's past, we can see that there is no other way except death. Even the three people who were sued by Lu Shaohua in court will probably not escape death.

Lu Shaohua started to make follow-up arrangements. "Don't sue those people to death when you take them to court. Suing them to court is just a show. If you really want to deal with them, then..."

Lu Shaohua did not finish his words, but made a throat-wiping gesture at the end.

In front of Qin Si Chen, Lu Shaohua didn't need to disguise himself. If he wanted to kill someone, he would kill him. There was no need to hide in front of Qin Si Chen, because Qin Si Chen was not unaware of Lu Shaohua's past practices.

What else could Qin Sichen say? He could only smile bitterly and then remain silent.

Qin Si Chen really wanted to persuade Lu Shaohua not to do that, but when he thought of the hateful nature of those people, Qin Si Chen suppressed the idea. It was not for anything else, but because they had caused Phoenix Group to suffer losses, and the losses were not just a few hundred or a few thousand, but a loss of up to hundreds of millions of dollars.

Some people's lives are very valuable, like Lu Shaohua, his life is definitely valuable, but some people's lives are not that valuable. Hundreds of millions of dollars are enough to buy those people's lives, so Qin Sichen feels that they deserve to die.

What's more, Qin Sichen knew Lu Shaohua too well and knew that Lu Shaohua had made a decision and it was not something she could change, so why bother wasting her expression saying it out loud.

Just like that, the final handling of Phoenix Petroleum European Branch was determined by Lu Shaohua in just a few words. However, it was rare for the two of them to discuss things together, and Lu Shaohua also had something to ask Qin Sichen. Taking this opportunity, Lu Shaohua simply asked.

"How much money is in the group's account?"

"Want money?" Qin Sichen frowned and asked back.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua responded. He did want money.

Asking for money at this time made Qin Sichen feel embarrassed. The reason was that the money in the Phoenix Group's account was all useful. Moreover, the money Lu Shaohua asked for must be not a small amount.

"How much do you need? What do you plan to do?" Qin Sichen shouldn't have asked this question, but the situation was different and funds were too tight, so Qin Sichen thought it would be a good idea to ask.
