Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 321 Results

When Lu Shaohua heard the news, he was stunned at first, and then he was looking forward to it. You know, that was a huge compensation of 50 million US dollars, and it was also a windfall. Lu Shaohua himself was a typical money-grubber, so he was naturally looking forward to it! That's why he couldn't wait to ask about the result.

Hearing Lu Shaohua's urgent tone, Xu Jiarui didn't dare to keep him in suspense and told the whole story from the beginning. "When I came back to work just now, I received a call from them saying that our lawsuit had come to a conclusion and we won. Oh! But...but..."

Xu Jiarui didn't say anything else. He just couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Xu Jiarui's hesitation made Lu Shaohua, who was in a hurry, furious and yelled into the phone. "Stop hesitating and just say what you want to say."

"Oh!" Xu Jiarui said, not feeling uncomfortable because of Lu Shaohua's yelling, and said bravely, "It's just that the compensation is not 50 million US dollars."

"Not fifty million dollars?" Lu Shaohua asked again, and then continued, "How much is it?"

"Oh, only 30 million dollars." Xu Jiarui on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, and then continued to explain. "I have asked about the compensation, and the explanation from the other end is that our request for 50 million dollars in compensation is unreasonable. They said that although our Phoenix Group has suffered losses, it is not serious enough to be out of control, so their judgment is to compensate us 30 million dollars."

"Oh?" Lu Shaohua's tone became very flat. To be honest, although he loves money, he doesn't really have much hope for the high compensation of 50 million US dollars. After all, Phoenix Group only lost a little reputation and a few days of turnover. It's really not that out of control. 50 million US dollars is really a bit too much. After a long sigh, Lu Shaohua said with some regret. "30 million US dollars is 30 million US dollars. It's fine as long as there is compensation."

The more money the better, but sometimes there is a limit. Thirty million in compensation is enough. Lu Shaohua doesn't dare to desire too much. After all, thirty million US dollars is a lot of money. Thirty million US dollars is a lot of money, but this is just Lu Shaohua's self-consolation. If he had fifty million, he wouldn't mind.

Hearing Lu Shaohua's agreement, Xu Jiarui on the other end of the phone also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Lu Shaohua was their immediate superior, oh, that is, the boss of Phoenix Group. As the general manager of Phoenix Sales Company, he had to do whatever his boss told him to do. If Lu Shaohua was not satisfied with the 30 million in compensation and asked him to appeal again, he would have no choice but to do as Lu Shaohua told him. This way, he would have more troubles.

"Mr. Lu, is this the case?" Xu Jiarui asked tentatively. At this moment, Xu Jiarui was not sure what Lu Shaohua meant, so he could only confirm it again.

"Well, forget it, forget it." Lu Shaohua shook his head helplessly while holding the receiver. This matter had been dragging on for so many days, and Lu Shaohua had lost his patience and wanted to end this farce. "Let's end it here, and focus all your attention on expanding the market."

Losing patience is certainly one of the reasons, but another reason is that Lu Shaohua wants Xu Jiarui to focus all his attention on developing the market, because according to the news from Chu Lei, several products at the base in Shenzhen have entered the testing phase, and new products will be released soon.

When new products come out, they are bound to enter the market. However, because of the car incident, Phoenix Group's pace of opening up the market has slowed down. As the saying goes, time waits for no one, and Lu Shaohua cannot wait, so he plans to settle this matter hastily.

"Okay, now that our Phoenix Group has become famous, we should be able to speed up the pace of market development, but..." Xu Jiarui paused here and pondered for a long time before continuing. "Other countries in Southeast Asia are fine, but I am most afraid of Japan. After all, they have two major automobile manufacturers, and it may not be easy for our Phoenix Automobile to enter the Japanese market."

Xu Jiarui's worries were unreasonable. The Japanese hated China to begin with, and Phoenix Group was a Chinese product. It would probably take a lot of effort to enter their country. Moreover, with two major automobile manufacturers eyeing them, the resistance would naturally not be small.

Lu Shaohua is not an arrogant person. He understands the principle of Ji Zhong and also understands Xu Jiarui's worries. Even if Phoenix Automobile successfully enters the Japanese market, the sales volume may not be too ideal. In this case, it is a bit of a thankless task. In this regard, Lu Shaohua chose to take a detour and not enter the Japanese market first, but turn to other countries first, and then return to enter when he has time.

"Don't enter the Japanese market for now. We will deal with it later when we have the energy." This was the order issued by Lu Shaohua, and the implication of this order was to abandon the Japanese market.

Lu Shaohua explained it so clearly that even someone as smart as Xu Jiarui could understand it. Without further ado, he said, "I understand."

"Well, that's it for now." After saying that, Lu Shaohua wanted to hang up the phone, but suddenly he seemed to remember something and reminded him. "Our Phoenix Group is not just about cars. We will diversify in the near future, so you have to be mentally prepared and don't be caught off guard."

There was no other way. There was already news in Shenzhen that a new product was about to be developed. Lu Shaohua had to remind Xu Jiarui to make preparations in advance. Otherwise, it would be just as he said, and he would be caught off guard at the last minute.

After Lu Shaohua's reminder, Xu Jiarui finally came to his senses. Come to think of it, according to his visit to the production base in Bao'an, Shenzhen last time, his intuition told him that such a large base could not only produce cars, but also had many other projects. However, he had no choice. He had been busy with cars for some time, and subconsciously thought that Phoenix Group only had cars as a product, and really ignored the possibility of other products.

"I'll arrange it." Xu Jiarui assured repeatedly, but he was secretly complaining in his heart. As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four legs. No matter how capable he is, he is alone, and the tasks assigned by Lu Shaohua are really numerous. How can he complete them?

As if he could see through Xu Jiarui's mind through the phone line, Lu Shaohua said, "You are fully responsible for the sales company. If you need to recruit people, you don't need my consent, just discuss it with President Qin."

At the end, Lu Shaohua paused, and then continued with a serious tone, "I trust you, you can handle anything you want."

Lu Shaohua's words undoubtedly gave Xu Jiarui a shot in the arm, and the implication was that he was giving up full authority.

Hearing this, Xu Jiarui was overjoyed, emotional, and his voice became very volatile. "Thank you for your trust, Director Lu. I won't let you down."

"That's good. I'm counting on you." After saying that, Lu Shaohua didn't say any more words to Xu Jiarui and directly hung up the phone.

Thinking back to when Xu Jiarui had been the general manager of Phoenix Sales since its inception, and thinking back on the years that had passed, Xu Jiarui's hard work for Phoenix Sales was obvious to all, and his achievements were beyond reproach. Lu Shaohua would naturally not treat such a contributor unfairly.

But then again, Xu Jiarui is not Liu Mingzhang and others after all. Although he says that he trusts them, Lu Shaohua always keeps a line of defense in his heart to prevent accidents. One must always be on guard against others!

"Oh! Human nature!" Lu Shaohua sighed. As a person who was reborn, Lu Shaohua knew very well that even brothers could turn against each other, let alone people who were not very close to him. Lu Shaohua would naturally not trust them without reservation.

But then again, Lu Shaohua didn't trust them but didn't take any effective measures. He was just secretly on guard in his heart.

Thinking of this, Lu Shaohua couldn't help but break out in sweat on his forehead. All kinds of scenarios emerged in his mind. If the group's secrets were stolen by those senior executives, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Phoenix Group.

"No, some measures must be taken." Lu Shaohua muttered to himself.

The emergence of a problem also means that it must be overcome. Lu Shaohua must take effective measures to prevent it. So how to prevent it? This will be another problem.

"Hmm? How to prevent it?" This question lingered in Lu Shaohua's mind.

"Oh?" A flash of inspiration flashed through Lu Shaohua's mind, but the flash of inspiration flashed too quickly, so Lu Shaohua couldn't grasp the key. "How to prevent it?"

"Ah! Got it." Lu Shaohua suddenly stood up from the sofa, his face full of smiles, and then he patted his head hard and muttered to himself. "How could I not think of such a simple thing? Oh! Is my brain degenerating?"

"Bah! I'm a reborn person, how could my brain degenerate? My IQ is over 300." Lu Shaohua continued narcissistically.

After feeling good for a while, Lu Shaohua recovered, sat back on the sofa, and picked up the phone. However, he did not dial the number. Instead, he paused for a while and put the phone back, as if he had encountered a problem.

Yes, Lu Shaohua suddenly realized that his idea was not mature. He only formed a general framework without a detailed plan. That's why he didn't make the call immediately. Instead, he put the receiver back and arranged the next step after every link of the plan was mature.

After so many years of rebirth, Lu Shaohua has developed a habit that he will not execute a plan immediately before it is formed, but will wait until it is fully mature before taking action. Of course, there are some different situations, which are another matter.

Time passed. Starting from the moment Lu Shaohua hung up the phone, half an hour passed silently. Lu Shaohua sat quietly on the sofa without moving, his face changing constantly, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing, sometimes smiling, and sometimes becoming solemn.

Finally, after Lu Shaohua's face changed for a while, he patted his thigh, picked up the phone, and prepared to implement his plan.
