Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 3: Jedi Counterattack ()

A day passed slowly, and after Lu Shaohua arranged the follow-up work for Phoenix TV, he quietly left the company. He didn't know why, but he felt uncomfortable staying in the company with nothing to do, so he chose to leave and return to his villa where he felt more comfortable.

After returning to his villa, Lu Shaohua called Chu Lei immediately. This incident would definitely affect the sales of cars. It was normal for cars to be unsold in the short term, but after the incident, there would definitely be a wave of car buying. So Lu Shaohua had to call Chu Lei and ask him to increase the production of cars in the next two days to prevent shortages when the car buying boom occurred.

The call was connected soon, and Chu Lei's voice came, asking the first question. "Xiaohua, this incident in South Korea is very troublesome, and it may affect the sales of cars."

It was natural for Chu Lei to know about the Korean issue. After all, he was the CEO of Phoenix Group Shenzhen Head Office and was also responsible for the production of cars. Now that there was a problem in Korea, Xu Jiarui would definitely inform him immediately and ask him to stop the production of cars. Therefore, he naturally knew about this matter, and it was because he knew about this matter that he asked Lu Shaohua immediately.

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua laughed into the receiver, and then said in a mysterious way, "Don't worry about these. This matter will be resolved in two days."

"Oh?" Chu Lei was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "What's the matter with you calling?"

"Well, there is something." After a pause, Lu Shaohua continued, "Once the Korean incident is resolved, I estimate that there will be a car buying boom, and it is also possible that sales companies will expand into other countries' markets at the same time, so you have to increase the production of cars over there to avoid a shortage of cars."

This time, Chu Lei was really confused. Doubts kept circling in his mind, becoming bigger and bigger, and finally came together to become a big mystery. At the same time, what Lu Shaohua had just said flashed through his mind. The final result was that Lu Shaohua could not only resolve this incident perfectly, but also make the Phoenix brand car famous.

Yes, Chu Lei thought so. All along, Chu Lei had never doubted Lu Shaohua's ability, even if he doubted himself. He believed that Lu Shaohua could solve this incident beautifully. But Chu Lei still didn't believe that Lu Shaohua could make Phoenix brand cars famous.

After holding the receiver for a long time in silence, Chu Lei couldn't help but ask, "Xiaohua, do you have any idea to make the cars we produce famous?"

"Haha! What do you think?" Lu Shaohua asked back, but he didn't wait for Chu Lei to speak again, and answered his own question. "The Korean car manufacturers are using the steel of our cars to make a fuss, and they are also using coal to help. Isn't this also a way to help us promote in a roundabout way?"

"Could it be that Lu Shaohua wants to rely on the negative news about Phoenix Automobile to promote its brand?" This was Chu Lei's first reaction, but Chu Lei had no idea whether it was true or not.

Lu Shaohua also knew the doubts in Chu Lei's mind, but he did not explain. "Your task is to find a way to produce more cars, and we will find a way to solve the problem in South Korea."

"Okay, I got it. I'll make arrangements now." Chu Lei responded and hung up the phone. After putting down the receiver, he muttered to himself, "I was thinking of stopping production for a few days, but now I don't think I have to stop, but I'm going to increase production. How unpredictable things are!"

……

After instructing them to increase automobile production, Lu Shaohua called Xu Jiarui again. The content of the call was probably to ask him to prepare for market expansion.

Xu Jiarui was puzzled as to why Lu Shaohua called him right after he returned and asked him to prepare for market expansion. But after a while, Xu Jiarui felt relieved because he thought that the result of this incident would be that Phoenix's brand of cars would become famous. Once the reputation was established, they could take advantage of this favorable situation to open up markets in other countries.

Yes, Lu Shaohua's goal is to take advantage of this favorable situation for Phoenix Automobile to quickly open up the Southeast Asian market and consolidate it, and then open up the European and American markets. Of course, this is a later story, so let's not talk about it for now.

After figuring out Lu Shaohua's purpose, Xu Jiarui naturally didn't dare to delay and responded. "I'll go and arrange it now," he quickly hung up the phone and held an internal meeting of the company.

Facts have proved the saying again. "The boss makes a statement, and the people below are busy fighting for their lives." Phoenix Group is busy at this time. Xu Jiarui held an internal meeting, and Chen Darong also called together several key members of Phoenix TV to arrange for them to follow up the report in Korea, and also explained some things they need to pay attention to.

Xu Jiarui and Chen Darong were busy in the group, so Lu Shaohua naturally didn't know about it, because at this time he was staying in the villa, watching TV quietly and leisurely. No! It would be more appropriate to say that Lu Shaohua didn't watch TV, but the TV was on, his eyes were fixed on the TV, but he didn't pay attention to the program on TV, but was thinking about something in his heart.

As for what he was thinking about, only Lu Shaohua himself knew, but one thing that was certain was that what he was thinking about must be related to this incident.

……

Time flies, and night soon comes. The coming of night also means the passing of a day. When the sun is high in the sky, Lu Shaohua lies on the bed, rubs his eyes, and then slowly opens them. Seeing the light shining into the room, Lu Shaohua sits up, puts on his clothes, and goes downstairs to eat breakfast.

When he came downstairs, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. After breakfast, Lu Shaohua turned on the TV, switched to Phoenix TV, and watched TV quietly. When the time reached half past ten, Phoenix TV broadcast an event about Phoenix Car.

Just as Lu Shaohua said, the Phoenix Motors incident was like a tornado, growing bigger and bigger, and quickly exploded in quiet Hong Kong, causing a strong reaction. Ten minutes later, when the news report was over, the phone in Lu Shaohua's villa also rang in coordination.

After looking at the number, he saw that it was a call from the Huo family villa. Lu Shaohua picked up the phone without thinking and listened to the words coming from the phone.

There are only a handful of people who can call from the Huo family villa, no one else except the Huo family. The person who called Lu Shaohua this time was none other than Huo Yingdong himself. As for the purpose of the call, it goes without saying that it must be about the car incident.

In response to Huo Yingdong's concern, Lu Shaohua smiled and asked mysteriously, "Mr. Huo, do you think there is something wrong with the steel in the car?"

"Hmm?" Huo Yingdong on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before he said, "The advantage of the cars produced by your group is steel, so there is naturally no problem."

"Haha! As long as there's no problem!" Lu Shaohua said with a smile.

"Haha!" Huo Yingdong on the other end of the phone also laughed. He suddenly realized that he was a little too anxious and said, "Do you have a solution?"

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua said very affirmatively.

Just kidding, this little thing can really stump Lu Shaohua, if it can stump him, then he is not worthy of being a reborn person. The intrigues and deceptions in business wars are just a small matter for Lu Shaohua, who came from the 21st century, not to mention that this incident is just a minor matter.

"It's OK as long as you have a solution. If you need my help in anything, just tell me. My old bones can still be of some use." Ho Ying-tung said sincerely.

"Thank you, Grandpa Huo." Lu Shaohua said politely, and then said, "If I can't solve it, I will call you, old man."

"Well, that's it." After saying that, Ho Ying-tung hung up the phone.

Lu Shaohua heard the "beep, beep" sound coming from the phone being hung up, sighed, and gently put down the receiver. This incident was just a small matter, and there was no need for Huo Yingdong, an old man with a certain influence in Southeast Asia and even the world. Lu Shaohua said that he would call him for help if he couldn't solve it, but it was just a polite remark. After all, he was kind-hearted!

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shaohua called Chen Darong again to inquire about the situation. After listening to Chen Darong's report and confirming that the whole thing developed as he had guessed, Lu Shaohua again told Chen Darong to keep a close eye on it before hanging up the phone.

The development of events on the first day was the same as Lu Shaohua had guessed, so Lu Shaohua felt relieved. After receiving several calls from the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce expressing his concern, Lu Shaohua turned off the TV and leisurely studied English as if nothing had happened.

……

A day passed quietly. The next morning, Lu Shaohua got up on time at nine o'clock as usual. He brushed his teeth, washed his face, and ate some breakfast before turning on the TV to watch the news.

However, this time I didn't wait to see the news about the car, but received a phone call from Xu Jiarui to inform me.

"Mr. Lu, the whole incident has expanded further and further. Almost all Southeast Asian countries have broadcast the news that our company's cars have problems. It is estimated that it will reach Europe and the United States by evening." Xu Jiarui said calmly on the other end of the phone.

"Well, that's good. Is there any reaction from the outside world to this news?" Lu Shaohua asked.

"The reaction was very strong, especially in Japan. The media there exaggerated the situation and all kinds of speculation emerged." Xu Jiarui's voice rang out again.

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua smiled at this and didn't pay much attention. With the current situation of Phoenix Group, it is only a matter of time for its cars to enter the Japanese market. Japan cannot fail to react and want to kill Phoenix Automobile, which has not yet posed a threat. "Don't worry about them. It's better if they want to exaggerate. By then, the facts will completely shut them up."

"Okay, I understand." Xu Jiarui said.

After learning about the progress of the incident, Lu Shaohua smiled and then shook his head, sighed and stopped thinking about it, waiting to see what the outcome would be.
