Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 1123 Losing Control and Not Responding

The Kim family of North Korea is the undisputed ruler of North Korea. The entire North Korea is ruled by their family, and it is passed down from generation to generation, just like in ancient China, a bit like a feudal society.

It is already the 21st century, an era when the whole world is clamoring for democracy, but the Kim family of North Korea is still so strong, which shows how extraordinary their family is. Like now, they can make a decision by holding a meeting. It shows that the Kim family is very courageous.

To start a war, perhaps for a powerful country, it only needs to discuss, come up with a plan and then open fire immediately. However, it is different for North Korea. They are not powerful. On the contrary, they are very weak. Yet they can make a choice so quickly. What else could this be but courage?

But then again, that's not important anymore. What's important is that they have made their choice now and have sent their next successor to visit China secretly to test the Chinese government's attitude, and then it will be confirmed.

But all this had nothing to do with Lu Shaohua. At this moment, Lu Shaohua was sitting in the study, smoking, looking very worried.

Sitting opposite Lu Shaohua was Qin Sichen. Today, Qin Sichen was too busy. There were too many things for her to deal with. When she had almost finished dealing with them, she went home without even bothering to eat. She went into the study and wanted to exchange ideas with Lu Shaohua.

"Is there no compromise?" Qin Sichen couldn't help but ask when he saw that Lu Shaohua chose to remain silent.

Lu Shaohua decided to end the industrial business of Phoenix Group. Qin Sichen didn't quite agree with it, but under Lu Shaohua's order, Qin Sichen had no choice but to do it.

Qin Sichen was thinking that things were far from the point where he had to end the industrial business. Perhaps there would be a compromise or a way to have the best of both worlds. Well, even though he hadn't figured it out yet, Qin Sichen firmly believed that there would be a compromise.

As for why Qin Sichen wanted to find a compromise, the reason was actually very simple. She didn't want the Phoenix Group's business to be ruined. Phoenix Group was Lu Shaohua's hard work, but it was also her Qin Sichen's hard work.

Over the years, Phoenix Group has invested so much in the industrial sector. Now it is ending just like that. Isn't that tantamount to throwing away all the hard work put in over the years?

Qin Sichen was unwilling!

"There is a compromise, even if I haven't figured it out yet. However, even if there is a compromise now, I will not hesitate to end the industrial business." Lu Shaohua said lightly, and then he did not forget to look at Qin Sichen. Seeing the latter move her lips, as if she wanted to speak, Lu Shaohua did not let her speak again. "After so many years of hard work, no one wants to throw it away like this. I don't want to, you don't want to, and I think the employees of the entire Phoenix Group don't want to, but we have to make this choice."

"Industry is the symbol of Phoenix Group, that's true. We have invested years of hard work to create a miracle in the business world, that's true too. But it is also our weak link and the only breakthrough for the enemy to attack us. Maybe we can come up with a compromise solution today and solve it smoothly, but what about tomorrow? Tomorrow the enemy will come up with a more deadly way to attack us." Lu Shaohua added at the end.

In fact, there was one more thing Lu Shaohua didn’t say, which was: Even if there is a compromise and it can be saved, Phoenix Group will lose its former glory in the industrial sector.

Just imagine that now all European countries are holding protests, which have a huge impact. It can be said that Phoenix Group has become famous, but it has become famous with a bad reputation. There are boycotts of Phoenix Group's products everywhere, which is undoubtedly a fatal blow to Phoenix Group.

It can be said that under the exaggeration of some people with ulterior motives, the reputation of Phoenix Group has been ruined. If it wants to save it, it must first restore its reputation, and then solve the problems of boycotts and protests step by step.

But how to restore the reputation?

Perhaps Lu Shaohua can clarify things by listing evidence to show that Phoenix Financial did not make a fortune from the disaster, to restore some of its reputation, and then release evidence to say that this financial crisis was entirely the result of the U.S. government kidnapping countries around the world to pay for its real estate bubble.

Well, this method can solve the problem, but Lu Shaohua saw further and thought further.

If something like this happens today, who can be sure that something else won’t happen tomorrow?

It would be better to terminate the industrial business of Phoenix Group. Not only can it gather some funds to make it more confident, but it can also make a lot of money in this financial storm.

One is an extremely troublesome choice, and the other is a choice with huge benefits. What choice will Lu Shaohua make?

Undoubtedly, Lu Shaohua chose the latter. He abandoned the troubles and focused on the benefits.

In addition, even if Phoenix Group has ended its industrial business now, it does not mean that it will end forever. It is entirely possible for it to make a comeback.

Well, no, it's not a possibility, but a certainty. At least in Lu Shaohua's plan, after this moment, I'm afraid that Phoenix Group will soon return to its status quo in industry. No, not the current state, it should be even stronger.

Since this is the case, Lu Shaohua has nothing to worry about. It's over when it's over. It's just a temporary tight spot. Once Lu Shaohua has freed up, he won't be afraid of anyone.

Qin Sichen seemed to understand Lu Shaohua's intentions and future plans. After thinking for a while, he took the initiative to change the subject and said, "If we end our overseas business, what will happen to the employees of the Phoenix production base?"

Layoffs, Qin Sichen means layoffs, layoffs again!

Lu Shaohua also knew Qin Sichen's plan, shook his head and said, "We have the ability to support idle people, so there is no need to lay off employees. On the contrary, once we lay off employees, we will have to recruit and train employees when we start over, which is a hassle. It is better to use money to support them."

The Phoenix Production Base has already laid off employees once, which caused panic among the employees. Lu Shaohua even promised the remaining employees that there would be no more layoffs. If he did, it would be a bit against his will. More importantly, Lu Shaohua did not want to make the Phoenix Production Base feel uneasy again.

What's more, Phoenix Group is not completely shutting down its industrial business. You have to know that China is the world's largest market, and with domestic support, although it is not yet profitable, it is not impossible to operate at a break-even and even a slight loss.

"Then don't lay him off." Qin Sichen had no choice but to obey Lu Shaohua's wishes.

The end of one topic also means the beginning of another. Qin Sichen paused and spoke again. "The situation is not good for us now, and the outside world is constantly speculating. Do we need to hold a press conference to clarify things?"

"No, it's useless to clarify now. Others have the tongue. Before evidence is produced, any explanation we give will be in vain. It's better not to show up. Wait until we get the evidence, and then stand up. That way, we can not only clarify, but also fight back." Lu Shaohua shook his head and said.

Li Zhijie has been collecting evidence. Although it has not been long, Lu Shaohua has confidence in Li Zhijie. He firmly believes that in a few days, evidence should appear in front of him. At that time, Lu Shaohua's counterattack will begin. At the same time, the quagmire of the world pattern will become more chaotic.

"Still no response?" Qin Sichen couldn't help but ask one more question.

Qin Sichen obviously had some differences with Lu Shaohua on the matter of response. In her opinion, response was the key to restoring the image of Phoenix Group and also to give some confidence to those who supported Phoenix Group.

But now Lu Shaohua doesn't want to respond. You know, a day has passed since the incident happened. If Lu Shaohua doesn't respond, it may be a bit late.

"I have to respond, but not now. At least, I won't make any response within the next two days." Lu Shaohua knew that it was a bit late not to respond, but he still insisted.

After that, Lu Shaohua didn't wait for Qin Sichen to say anything else, waved his hand, and added, "I have already made the decision on this matter, no need to say more."

Yes, Lu Shaohua is playing a big game of chess. He has already set up his formation, but is still in the process of layout. When the layout is completed, Lu Shaohua will start to show his killer moves. Then, it will be time to respond.

What else could Qin Sichen say but to smile bitterly.

"By the way, we will announce internally tomorrow morning that all business in country *** will be terminated. This can be considered a silent counterattack." Lu Shaohua did not forget to mention the matter of country ***.

*** Country, Lu Shaohua has already decided to take action. Now that he has decided to take action, it is necessary to withdraw first.

"Yeah." Qin Sichen nodded, which meant he agreed.

"Then you should go and have a rest first. You will be busy tomorrow." Lu Shaohua couldn't help but say a word of concern.

"Okay, you go to bed early too."

"I'll wait a moment, you go to sleep first."

……

It was getting late, almost midnight. At this time normally, Lu Shaohua would have already crawled into bed, but today, Lu Shaohua was not sleepy at all. It was not that he did not want to force himself to sleep, but Lu Shaohua was waiting, waiting for news from Li Zhijie.

It has been a day since the Wall Street Journal released the news, and then it fell silent. However, Lu Shaohua does not think that this is the end of the matter. He uses a series of moves, and this strategy is suitable for any struggle, whether it is a business war or a battle in the officialdom.

The opponent had set up such a big chess game, and Lu Shaohua didn't believe that they would just fire one shot and then make no move.

Since there will definitely be follow-up actions, Li Zhijie should receive the information soon. Once he gets the information, Li Zhijie will definitely call Lu Shaohua.

This is also the reason why Lu Shaohua has been waiting.

As time was approaching midnight, Li Zhijie called as expected. Lu Shaohua did not hesitate and pressed the answer button directly.

"They're starting to make some moves!"

The moment the call was connected, Li Zhijie did not beat around the bush and the first thing he said was to get straight to the point.
