Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 547: Cars - Another Turbulence

Li Shangkui knew that Lu Shaohua had not eaten yet, so he naturally did not dare to neglect him. He did not wait for them to finish eating before returning the food. Instead, he asked his men to bring the food back first, and then they stayed in the hotel to eat. The people who continued to stay in the Phoenix Building to protect Lu Shaohua also had a share of the packed food.

Lu Shaohua certainly cared about everything around him, but he also knew that he didn't need to worry too much about this aspect, Li Shangkui would arrange everything, so when the food was being packed, Lu Shaohua just asked and didn't say anything else. He ate in the office with Qin Sichen to fill their stomachs.

Having followed Lu Shaohua for so many years, Li Shangkui deeply understands Lu Shaohua's appetite. He knows exactly what dishes he likes to eat. The food he brings back is also to Lu Shaohua's taste. There is no food that makes Lu Shaohua lose his appetite, so the food tastes quite comfortable.

After lunch, Qin Si Chen wanted to go back to work, but was stopped by Lu Shaohua. Looking at her tired face and dark circles under her eyes, Lu Shaohua knew that Qin Si Chen had been through countless nights, so how could he let her continue working?

Fortunately, there is a separate room in the president's office, which is fully equipped with a bed, a chair and everything you need. It wouldn't be a big problem even if you live here all day.

But after all, she had just eaten, so it was impossible to sleep immediately. She just leaned on the bed and half-sat on it to talk. After entering the room, the partition effect was very good. In addition, the bodyguards around Lu Shaohua already knew that she was with Lu Shaohua, so Qin Sichen did not show any restraint, just like usual.

Sweet words were indispensable, but after entering the room, Qin Sichen still had serious matters to discuss with Lu Shaohua, and he unknowingly brought up the serious matter.

"Do you know what I'm busy with here?" Qin Sichen suddenly asked.

Lu Shaohua had just gone to Africa, stopped in Saudi Arabia, and stayed there for a few days. He really didn't know what was happening in Hong Kong. When Qin Sichen asked him this, Lu Shaohua became curious.

"Something happened in the group?" This was Lu Shaohua's intuition. His intuition told Lu Shaohua that something happened in the group. Otherwise, no matter how many things the group had to deal with, Qin Sichen would not be so tired.

Facts have proved that Lu Shaohua's intuition was correct. Something had indeed happened to the Phoenix Group. No! To be more precise, it was Phoenix Automobile, a subsidiary of the Phoenix Group, that had an accident.

"Yeah." Qin Sichen responded, and then got to the point. "Our Phoenix Automobile has been developing the European market over the years, and it has basically been completed some time ago. According to the plan you made a few years ago, the Japanese market was left for last. When you went to Africa, General Manager Xu Jiarui reported the situation and asked for permission to officially enter the Japanese market. You were not there, so I agreed. However, Phoenix Automobile was challenged as soon as it entered."

"Challenge?" Lu Shaohua frowned, not knowing how Qin Sichen used this word to describe it.

"It's a challenge, just like the challenge from South Korea last time." Qin Sichen said calmly, pausing for a moment before adding, "It's a little different from last time. Not only did they bring up the steel problem in our cars, they also doubted the performance and quality of our cars."

"Is it Toyota and Honda?" Lu Shaohua asked the key question directly without thinking about other details, nor did he want to say anything else.

Toyota Motor and Honda Motor are two automobile manufacturers that are already giants in the automotive industry, and Japan is their domestic market. They may not be able to do anything to Phoenix Automobile in foreign markets, but in Japan, they are the local tyrants, and it is easy for them to suppress Phoenix Automobile.

What’s more important is that since Phoenix Auto came out of nowhere, it has dominated the international market and repeatedly frustrated the two auto manufacturers. Now that they have finally caught an opportunity, how could they not fight back?

"Well, they are the ones who are playing tricks. Last time you won by crashing your car, and now they are using the same trick to compete with us." At this point, Qin Sichen glanced at Lu Shaohua, who was still smiling lightly, with an arrogant look on his face, which made Qin Sichen worried and reminded him. "This time is different from the last time. I sent someone to investigate. The steel of their two car manufacturers is very solid. The results show that Toyota's steel is slightly better than ours, while Honda's steel is the same as ours. If the two collide, the final result will be that we will lose and tie, and we will not be able to win in the end."

After finishing speaking, Qin Sichen was obviously a little excited. He took a deep breath and continued, "That's why I didn't respond to them. But yesterday, they issued the final ultimatum. Tomorrow will be the deadline. We have to make a statement one by one whether we collide with them or not."

"Oh!" Lu Shaohua responded, frowning even deeper. He did not continue speaking and fell into deep thought.

Everything Qin Sichen said was clearly heard by Lu Shaohua. The issue with steel surprised Lu Shaohua even more. After all, the steel refining technology for the Phoenix car shell was developed in Africa and was top-notch.

Logically speaking, the possibility of being surpassed is extremely small, but according to Qin Sichen, the steel technology has been surpassed, which is why Lu Shaohua frowned. Lu Shaohua is very confident in the quality of his steel, but it is more or less unacceptable to be surpassed suddenly.

But after thinking about it carefully, Lu Shaohua felt relieved. The steel refining technology was invented several years ago and has been used until now. Toyota also has its own unique steel technology methods, so it is natural for it to surpass Phoenix Automobile.

"Did they say they would pick the latest cars to crash into each other?" Lu Shaohua asked without thinking. He already had a plan in mind.

"Yes." Qin Sichen said in a deep voice.

"That's good." After saying that, Lu Shaohua chuckled and changed the subject, asking, "Have you sent anyone to investigate the performance and quality?"

"We have sent them, and the results of the investigation are out. Their doubts are groundless. Phoenix Automobile's engine performance has been constantly updated, and its technology is also world-leading, not inferior to any other car brand. As for the quality, there is no need to say more. We at Phoenix Automobile have strict control over quality, and there is no problem at all."

"Typical case of looking for trouble." Lu Shaohua said this with a smile. This was the conclusion Lu Shaohua came to in the end. He just wanted to embarrass Phoenix Automobile.

At the same time, Lu Shaohua is also sure of one thing, Toyota and Honda will definitely let Phoenix Automobile compete in steel first to save Phoenix Automobile's face. If they win, then they will win even without testing the performance and quality issues, because this is in the minds of all consumers. If your steel is inferior to others, then it proves that their doubts are not wrong and there are problems with both performance and quality.

It’s a very clever move, but will Lu Shaohua let them win the first round?

The answer is yes, Lu Shaohua will not lose, and he cannot lose. If he loses, then the road ahead for Phoenix Auto will be bumpy. In the global world, Phoenix Auto will also decline and may even reach a trough.

When Phoenix Automobile came out of nowhere, it was full of momentum, especially after competing with South Korea, its popularity reached its peak and laid the foundation for the global market, allowing Phoenix Automobile to enter very smoothly, and its sales volume even reached the championship.

The situation is so good, Lu Shaohua will not let Phoenix Automobile fall from the altar. Lu Shaohua cannot and will not allow Phoenix Automobile to fall from the altar, because falling from the altar also means that the future fate of Phoenix Automobile will be very bleak.

"Do you have any way to deal with it?" Qin Sichen asked tentatively when he saw Lu Shaohua looked relaxed.

Qin Sichen has lost a lot of weight these days. She has thought about it but can't find any solution. Lu Shaohua has gone to Africa again. She seems to have been separated from the organization and is like a headless fly, bearing all the pressure.

Now, Lu Shaohua is back, and he looked relieved after learning about this. The big stone in Qin Sichen's heart was half put down, and he breathed a sigh of relief. However, as the ultimatum date approaches, it is not easy for Qin Sichen to completely put down the big stone in his heart.

It is undeniable that Lu Shaohua already had a plan in mind. As for why he asked whether there was an investigation into performance and quality, it was because he wanted to be on the safe side. It would be embarrassing if he won the first game but then lost the next two.

If you want to win, you have to win everything. This is Lu Shaohua's bottom line. What's more, losing means that Phoenix Automobile will enter a trough period, which is definitely a loss. Therefore, Lu Shaohua does not allow losing, even losing a meeting is not acceptable.

At this time, Qin Sichen was finally completely relieved. His blind trust in Lu Shaohua told him that he had a plan to deal with it, so the problem could be solved and nothing would happen to Phoenix Car.

But Qin Sichen was still very curious about what Lu Shaohua’s response was.

"Tell me quickly, how to deal with this matter?" Qin Sichen said impatiently.

"Hehe!" Lu Shaohua chuckled, looking like a complete pervert, smiling without saying a word.

After waiting for a long time and seeing that Lu Shaohua didn't speak, Qin Sichen felt something was wrong. She looked up slightly and met Lu Shaohua's eyes. She knew what Lu Shaohua was going to do.

Although she had not been intimate with Lu Shaohua for a long time, Qin Sichen knew Lu Shaohua's style very well. Usually, when this kind of situation occurred, Qin Sichen knew exactly what would happen next. But she did not resist, nor did she want to resist. She subconsciously wanted to cater to him.

Qin Sichen is already thirty years old. He didn't think it was a big deal before, but once it started, it became an obsession. Especially since this kind of thing is a physiological need, how could he resist it?
