Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 1096 Doubts Arise

It is true that Lu Shaohua is a shareholder of Longteng Venture Capital Company. He has not learned about the situation of Longteng Venture Capital Company, but this does not prevent Lu Shaohua from understanding the Longteng Venture Capital Company team. Lu Shaohua only needs to know their capabilities.

It was obvious that Lu Shaohua knew too well the capabilities of the Longteng Venture Capital team, so he merely gave orders, mentioned a few key points, and then said nothing more. He did not mention the inspection from beginning to end.

Originally, Lu Shaohua could have conducted the inspection at this time, because Lu Shaohua knew very well that after such a long time, there should be an evaluation report, but that was not the final result. What Lu Shaohua wanted was the final evaluation, not the current rough evaluation.

Lu Shaohua had reason to believe that if he mentioned the Rothschild family, the Longteng Venture Capital team would re-evaluate the situation. After all, the Rothschild family was too famous. When evaluating their industry, missing some details might cause the evaluation report to deviate.

Perhaps it was because of this reason that Lu Shaohua changed his mind temporarily and decided not to test the results first. Instead, he gave the Longteng Venture Capital team another half a month to test the results again after half a month. At the same time, the test after half a month would also be a prelude to the acquisition.

Lu Shaohua left and returned to his residence, but he was not idle. Instead, he went into the study and called Li Zhijie.

As early as a few days ago, Lu Shaohua contacted Li Zhijie and asked Li Zhijie to collect all the information about the financial crisis in the next period of time, and at the same time, collect information about some heavyweight companies in the world.

It is easy to understand that Lu Shaohua wanted to keep abreast of the inside stories behind the financial crisis, but it is a bit difficult to understand why he wanted to collect intelligence on some of the world's most important companies.

The financial crisis broke out, and it is possible that some heavyweight companies will not be able to hold on and will go bankrupt. However, Lu Shaohua can simply acquire them when they go bankrupt. There is no need for Li Zhijie to pay attention to this aspect.

However, is this really the case?

The reason why it can be called a heavyweight company is that it is a very powerful company. For example, Microsoft and Google in the past were powerful enough, right? They can be called heavyweight companies, right?

The answer is obvious. They are. They are all heavyweight companies, and they are the pillars of a country. If an accident occurs to a company like this, their country will take over or support it and will not allow outsiders to interfere.

If Lu Shaohua wants to increase his international influence, acquiring some heavyweight companies will be of great help. If those companies are taken over or supported by their countries, then Lu Shaohua will have no chance to acquire them, right?

Therefore, Lu Shaohua has to keep an eye on them. Once they encounter some unexpected events, Lu Shaohua will act quickly and act before the official government reacts. In this way, there is a great chance of acquiring them.

Of course, even if it was finally acquired by Lu Shaohua, the official government of their country could still put pressure on Phoenix Group and force Lu Shaohua to give up.

But if it develops to that extent, Lu Shaohua will already be on the winning side.

You want to sell the company? Okay, give me a high price.

This is Lu Shaohua's purpose, but then again, times have changed. Today's Microsoft and Google are nothing but floating clouds. They are no longer the invincible companies they were in their past lives. At most, they are now companies with decent strength.

This situation was entirely caused by the rise of the Phoenix Group. With the Phoenix Group around, they would not have the underground base they had in their previous lives, let alone almost monopolizing the market like they did in their previous lives.

Phoenix Search and Phoenix Operating System are two huge mountains. According to the data Lu Shaohua received recently, Phoenix Search has occupied 82.3% of the global market, almost reaching the level of monopoly, and Phoenix Operating System is even more terrifying, reaching 85.6%, completely surpassing Microsoft in its previous life.

In previous lives, it was already good for Microsoft to have a global market share of 60 to 70 percent. To think that it could exceed 80 percent was undoubtedly a dream.

However, the Phoenix operating system has now reached over 80 percent, becoming the dominant player, while Microsoft has become a minor player, struggling in the United States, and has almost lost the opportunity to challenge the Phoenix operating system.

But those are no longer important. What is important is that in addition to the current good companies, there are many awesome companies in the world. Lu Shaohua's goal this time is to target them, either by acquiring them or by acquiring their governments and then buying them back at a high price.

However, Lu Shaohua was disappointed. When he called Li Zhijie, Li Zhijie's answer was that those heavyweight companies were still normal. Although they were affected by the financial crisis, they were far from being in chaos or having big problems.

However, when Lu Shaohua was still disappointed, Li Zhijie brought good news.

"The Rothschild family is in trouble." Li Zhijie on the other end of the phone dropped a bombshell.

The Rothschild family is in trouble? This is definitely big news. Think about how powerful the Rothschild family is. As early as the 20s, their wealth had reached a terrifying figure, even more than Lu Shaohua's current net worth.

But such a powerful family has fallen into trouble.

However, this did not sound like big news to Lu Shaohua. On the contrary, Lu Shaohua felt that this news was absolutely normal.

The reason is simple. Isn't it to maintain their position in the oil field? Relying on their wealth, they continue to buy oil fields, but ignore that many of their industries require a lot of funds to maintain operation.

Under normal circumstances, they might not need so much money to maintain themselves. But now it is different. The financial crisis has broken out, and the amount of funds needed has reached a terrifying number, several times or even dozens or hundreds of times the usual amount.

Some time ago, the Rothschild family drew a large amount of funds to purchase oil fields. Now that they need to use the money, they suddenly find that they have little funds left and it is difficult to maintain normal operations.

If this is not a dilemma, then how can one be said to be in trouble?

Financial difficulties!

The Rothschild family was in financial difficulties, which was something Lu Shaohua had thought of a long time ago, and the current development of events was just as Lu Shaohua had expected. So when Li Zhijie dropped the news, Lu Shaohua was not surprised, but just thought it was normal.

"Did they take any action?" Lu Shaohua asked.

This is what Lu Shaohua is most concerned about. He wants to know how the Rothschild family will deal with financial difficulties.

It is either difficult to maintain or to borrow money, or to rob Peter to pay Paul.

It is almost certain that the Rothschild family will be attacked. Then, the movements of the Rothschild family will be related to Lu Shaohua's next plan. If the Rothschild family chooses to use the method of robbing Peter to pay Paul to overcome the crisis, then Lu Shaohua can formulate targeted plans against them.

If they are struggling to maintain it, Lu Shaohua can choose to wait and see, wait until the day they can no longer hold on, and then work together to give them a fatal blow.

"We have not received any information about their actions yet." This was Li Zhijie's answer, but Li Zhijie did not stop there and continued to tell the next piece of information. "Little Rockefeller disappeared."

Rockefeller Jr. disappeared? Is there any connection between this and the Rothschild family's difficulties? No, not only is there a connection, but there is a big connection, but Li Zhijie did not say it explicitly.

But Lu Shaohua heard it and asked, "Do you suspect that the disappearance of Rockefeller Jr. is related to the Rothschild family?"

"Yes." Li Zhijie responded.

"What about those people from the Morgan family?" Lu Shaohua did not continue the topic, but asked a question off topic.

Off topic? Is it really off topic? No, Lu Shaohua did not think it was off topic to ask about the whereabouts of the Morgan family at this time. On the contrary, Lu Shaohua attached great importance to this issue, because if the Morgan family was like Rockefeller Jr. and confirmed that their disappearance was related to the Rothschild family, then the matter would be serious.

The fall of the Morgan Consortium was entirely caused by Lu Shaohua, and the fall of the Rockefeller Consortium was also caused by Lu Shaohua. Although the two consortiums were hostile to each other, they had one thing in common, that is, they were separated from the Rothschild family.

In the past, the Morgan and Rockefeller consortiums were both branches of the Rothschild family. Both the Morgan and Rockefeller consortiums were brought down by Lu Shaohua. Now the Rothschild family is on the opposite side of the Phoenix Group. It can be said that all three are on the opposite side of Lu Shaohua.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

What's more, the Morgan Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium were originally branches of the Rothschild family, so it doesn't seem strange that they come together.

More importantly, Lu Shaohua had long suspected that there was a hidden story behind the Morgan and Rockefeller consortiums' separation from the Rothschild family. Well, no, not only was there a hidden story, but there were also unknown secrets.

We can think back and think about it. The Morgan Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium separated from the Rothschild family and grew independently. Then the Rothschild family announced to the outside world that it had declined, but in fact, the Rothschild family is still strong. Is there something unknown here?

Lu Shaohua didn’t know, Li Zhijie didn’t know either, and people outside didn’t know even more. The only people who knew were those within their group.
