Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 566: Acquisition of Lenovo

In its past life, Lenovo was the only well-known computer manufacturer in China. It was founded in 1984 and mainly produced desktop computers, servers, laptops, printers, PDAs, motherboards, mobile phones and other products. By the time computers became popular, the Lenovo brand was almost on par with international brands.

Lu Shaohua originally did not want to target such a brand company, but Lenovo chose to provoke him and make small moves behind the scenes. Instead of pointing the gun outward, it turned the gun around and pointed it at Phoenix Group.

Lu Shaohua knew that there was nothing wrong with competitors being enemies, and there was nothing wrong with business competition, but at this critical moment, Phoenix Group was in trouble, and Lenovo was targeting Phoenix Group like a foreign company. This was unacceptable to Lu Shaohua. If it were usual, when Phoenix Group was under normal circumstances, and Lenovo provoked and competed with Phoenix Group, Lu Shaohua would just smile and use normal business means to deal with it. But now the situation was different. Lu Shaohua completely treated Lenovo as an outsider.

A phone call came into Li Yunqing's office. When Li Yunqing heard that it was Lu Shaohua calling, he didn't dare to say much. He listened quietly without interrupting.

"Lenovo Group was listed in Hong Kong four years ago. You must mobilize funds for me to suppress the group's stock. Well, when you have suppressed it enough, buy out their stocks for me. Buy as much as you can. I want Lian Ming to become a part of Phoenix Group." Lu Shaohua's words were relatively simple, but the gist of his words revealed a frightening message.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Lu Shaohua is just bragging and talking big without any specific bragging. But Li Yunqing doesn't think so. Li Yunqing knows exactly how powerful the Phoenix Group is and how much power Lu Shaohua has. Lu Shaohua said that he wanted to make Lenovo Group a part of Phoenix Group, so it won't be long before Lenovo Group will become a part of Phoenix Group.

But then again, Lenovo Group is a listed company. There are not that many shares circulating in the stock market. It only accounts for a small part. The rest of the shares are in the hands of shareholders. It is not easy for Lu Shaohua to make Lenovo Group a part of Phoenix Group.

However, these things were not something Li Yunqing could control. Lu Shaohua's intention was very clear. He wanted to suppress Lenovo Group's stock price to the lowest point, and then acquire it. He wanted to control as many stocks as possible that were circulating in the market. This was Li Yunqing's forte, and it was also the task that Lu Shaohua assigned to him.

As for achieving absolute controlling rights, or fully owning Lenovo Group and making Lenovo Group a 100% subsidiary of Phoenix Group, that is not something Li Yunqing needs to worry about. Lu Shaohua will naturally arrange someone to do it.

"Understood, I'll do it right away." Li Yunqing's answer was simple and very serious.

It sounds ridiculous that a phone call determines the fate of a listed company, but when Lu Shaohua said it, it was not ridiculous at all, and there was no need to question it. If someone familiar with Phoenix Group heard Lu Shaohua's words at this moment, then that person would definitely have only one thought, that is, Lenovo Group is already a subsidiary of Phoenix Group.

Lu Shaohua is just so awesome, so capable, and so powerful...

However, things did not end so quickly. After Lu Shaohua hung up the call with Li Yunqing, he played with his exquisite mobile phone for a while, and then dialed another number. The owner of this number was none other than Chu Lei.

"It was me, Lu Shaohua, who suppressed Lenovo Group's products and devoured their domestic market share." When the call was connected, Lu Shaohua didn't say any nonsense and went straight to the point.

Chu Lei on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time. His brain froze and he couldn't react. It took him a full ten seconds to gradually recover, and a message flashed through his mind.

'Lenovo Group has offended Lu Shaohua.'

Yes, Chu Lei thought so. He believed that Lenovo Group had offended Lu Shaohua, and did not think about the market share being swallowed up, because Chu Lei knew that Lenovo Group was not worthy of being a rival of Phoenix Group, either at home or abroad, and they did not have the strength to be a rival of Phoenix Group. Chu Lei also believed that Lenovo Group could not be involved in this market share swallowing up.

Thinking this way, Chu Lei had only one answer in his mind, that is, Lenovo Group had offended Lu Shaohua. However, Chu Lei did not dare to neglect it. He knew Lu Shaohua's temper very well, and he knew that Lu Shaohua's calm voice was full of anger, so he asked immediately. "To what extent was it suppressed?"

"Attack with all your strength." Lu Shaohua's voice sounded again, and he did not forget to add one more sentence at the end. "Be prepared to take over Lenovo Group. I want Lenovo Group to become a subsidiary of our Phoenix Computer subsidiary."

With a "buzz" sound, Chu Lei finally realized the seriousness of the situation and overturned his previous speculation. At this moment, Chu Lei no longer thought that Lenovo Group had simply offended Lu Shaohua, because if it had just offended Lu Shaohua, Lu Shaohua would not directly wipe out Lenovo Group. After all, they are brands from the same country, and Lu Shaohua would not be so cruel.

"Understood. I'll get someone to do it right away." After realizing the seriousness of the situation, Chu Lei did not dare to hesitate and responded in a deep voice.

"Well, send someone to negotiate with Lenovo's shareholders and buy their shares privately." After a pause, Lu Shaohua continued, "I have already asked people to start working on the stock market in Hong Kong. In less than two days, Lenovo Group's stock will plummet. When you send someone to negotiate, you don't need to explain the situation to them. Just push the price down as much as possible. I want to buy their shares with the minimum amount of money."

Lu Shaohua once again stated his position and at the same time, taught Chu Lei some strategies, letting Chu Lei know that he could delay. The reason was simple. If the stock was suppressed to a certain extent, it might lead to the bankruptcy of Lenovo Group. When the shareholders of Lenovo Group saw the stock plummet, they would be very anxious, and selling shares at a low price would become their only option.

"Okay, I know what to do." Chu Lei said.

"Well, send someone who is trustworthy and capable. If she can spare the time, let my sister go with her so that she can see the negotiation strategy." Lu Shaohua added.

Lu Xiaoxian operates in the domestic market and has not ventured into foreign markets. The domestic market is calm, with no competitors swallowing up market share. It is not as tense as in Hong Kong, and the situation is not that chaotic. Lu Xiaoxian is not very busy and can spare some time to negotiate the acquisition of shares.

"it is good."

……

As Lu Shaohua's words spread, Lenovo Group was destined to become a part of Phoenix Group. There was no need to question it. Because Lu Shaohua was determined, everything could be accomplished. Even if Lenovo Group had the support of the government, Lu Shaohua would not compromise.

According to Lu Shaohua's memory, Lenovo Group was originally a state-owned enterprise. Later, it was reformed and suddenly became a semi-state-owned and semi-private enterprise. After rapid development, its shares gradually became diluted, and 30% of it has become a private enterprise.

Regarding this situation, Lu Shaohua would not think too much. In a word, acquire, acquire, and acquire again. Full acquisition, even though it would offend people and affect the interests of some people, Lu Shaohua would not let go.

Lu Shaohua at this moment is no longer the Lu Shaohua of the past. The previous Lu Shaohua did not have much influence. He had a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars, but he had to rely on the status of a shareholder of several foreign companies to be restrained. Now it is different. He has stepped out into the spotlight and his influence has increased. In addition, with the trust given to Lu Shaohua by the Tiger Roar Base, Lu Shaohua can completely compete with some big forces, even a country. Lu Shaohua no longer has to worry.

In addition, Lu Shaohua had already been tough once in the last incident, and he didn't mind being tough again. Of course, Lu Shaohua would not take the initiative to intensify the conflict. He acted on the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me". Now that Lenovo Group has offended him, Lu Shaohua has a legitimate reason to take action.

"Huh" Lu Shaohua took a long breath and suddenly felt a little tired. He put his phone back in his pocket, then stood up from his boss chair, motioned to Li Shangkui, and said lightly, "Let's go back."

The meeting was over and preliminary arrangements had been made. Lu Shaohua no longer needed to worry about other matters. It would be redundant for him to stay in the group. It would be better for him to stay in the villa, which would be much quieter.

Li Shangkui has followed Lu Shaohua for many years and knows Lu Shaohua very well. Lu Shaohua said he wanted to go back, although he did not say he was going back to his residence, but Li Shangkui knew very well that Lu Shaohua was going back to the villa. He opened the door, walked out first, arranged the situation of the bodyguards outside, and then escorted Lu Shaojie to the elevator and left Phoenix Building.

In the car, Lu Shaohua had been resting with his eyes closed. People who didn't know him would think he was asleep. However, in silence, Lu Shaohua suddenly spoke. "Brother Li, you are not young anymore. It's not a good idea to always follow me. I think it's better to do this. I'll let my eldest brother arrange something for you. You go to Shenzhen Phoenix Security to help and find a partner to get married."

Li Shangkui has been with Lu Shaohua for seven or eight years and is now in his thirties. During this period, Li Shangkui was shot twice and almost lost his life once. But after he recovered from his injury, Li Shangkui still chose to stay with Lu Shaohua to protect his safety, which made Lu Shaohua feel very guilty.

"I'd better stay in Hong Kong." Li Shangkui said without any expression. He paused, a little embarrassed, but still said it. "Don't worry about the partner. I will find one in the group."

"Oh!" Lu Shaohua was stunned, and suddenly opened his eyes, staring at Li Shangkui. Lu Shaohua knew what Li Shangkui meant by saying this, and asked with a smile. "Do you have someone you like in the group?"

Li Shangkui has a somewhat cold personality, and is very strict in what he says and does. What he said now is nothing more than revealing a message, that is, there is someone he likes among the female employees of Phoenix Group, so Lu Shaohua made further confirmation.

Although Li Shangkui was a little embarrassed, he was in his thirties after all, so he could still bear this little embarrassment. He nodded and said, "There is one."

"Good news, good news." Lu Shaohua patted his thigh excitedly, very happy, and then said, "Come to the group more often when you have nothing to do in the future. Okay, let's put it this way, if your partner is that, tell Si Chen directly and ask Si Chen to give her a promotion and a raise."

"Do not……"

"Just do as I say." Lu Shaohua made the decision forcefully without waiting for Li Shangkui to finish his words. Then he looked at Li Shangkui with a smile and a serious look in his eyes. Li Shangkui could not refuse.

When Li Shangkui met Lu Shaohua's serious eyes, he knew that Lu Shaohua had decided on the matter. He didn't say much at the moment. He just nodded to show that he understood and didn't speak a word.
