Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 595: Counterattack III

With Xu Jiarui's final speech, the press conference officially ended, which also meant that Lu Shaohua's second counterattack was over. However, this "battle" was not over yet. In addition to the second counterattack, Lu Shaohua also had the third and fourth counterattacks.

Regardless of what Lu Shaohua's third counterattack was like, it was none of Xu Jiarui's business. After holding the press conference, Xu Jiarui began his next job, which was to negotiate with several large American media outlets about advertising. This was a task that had been arranged long ago.

But Lu Shaohua was different. The moment Xu Jiarui announced the end of the press conference, Lu Shaohua gave away the TV. No matter how late it was, he picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number.

The familiar number belonged to none other than Liu Mingzhang. It was indeed late at night in Hong Kong, but it was daytime in the United States. Lu Shaohua could not wait until tomorrow to start arranging the tasks, because then everything would be too late.

"Mingzhang?" The moment the call was connected, Lu Shaohua's first question was a tentative one. But as soon as he said it, Lu Shaohua regretted it because he dialed Liu Mingzhang's number, and Liu Mingzhang was on standby. Who else would answer the phone if not him? "Mingzhang, did you watch TV?"

There was no way. After realizing his mistake, Lu Shaohua immediately came to his senses and asked the second question.

"I've been waiting for your call. I was bored, so Yunqing, Zong En and I were all watching TV. We happened to see the press conference held by Jiarui and watched it carefully." Liu Mingzhang did not hesitate to be verbose and used a few sentences to explain that he had watched it and explained the cause and effect.

"Then you should know why I can help you save the trouble of buying goods, right?" Lu Shaohua asked again.

"Now I understand. Haha, you know what, this trick is amazing. I'm sure that the Americans are crazy now, and those stock investors will definitely go crazy with them. In the afternoon, if nothing unexpected happens, the stock prices of those four companies will definitely fall in the afternoon in the United States. If we take action to suppress them again, there will be no problem in having a big drop." Liu Mingzhang said while laughing.

"That's good to know. You guys calculate the time. When the US market opens in the afternoon, you can immediately enter the market and make this muddy water even more muddy." Lu Shaohua, who was listening to the phone, had no expression on his face. "Also, use offshore companies for everything. I don't want to see any trace of our Phoenix Group."

Lu Shaohua had already instructed about using an offshore company for the acquisition, but to be on the safe side, Lu Shaohua couldn't help but remind him again. After all, it is better to be cautious in such matters, otherwise if it is discovered, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Those four companies are all star companies in the United States, especially IBM, which undertakes orders from the US government and has close relations with the government. If it is discovered that the company's shares have been acquired by Phoenix Group, it is hard to say whether the consequence will provoke a strong counterattack from the US government.

Lu Shaohua can accept everything that happens in the open. No matter how big the challenge is, Lu Shaohua is not afraid. What he is afraid of is what happens in the dark. A single shady trick will be enough to get Lu Shaohua in trouble, not to mention that it is a shady trick played by the US government.

Liu Mingzhang also knew the reason for Lu Shaohua's arrangement, and quickly made a promise, saying, "Don't worry, we have activated more than 30 offshore companies, and the accounts are very scattered. If you want to find out, the possibility is too low, too low, so low that it is impossible."

"That's good." Lu Shaohua was very satisfied and said, "Also, take this opportunity to make a profit. As for the shares, you don't need too many. One company can keep 5%. The rest can be sold at the end of the operation. You can earn some hard work fees."

Lu Shaohua could have retained a little more shares in this operation, but he did not, and only asked to retain 5%. As the saying goes, greed is insatiable, and Lu Shaohua is greedy, but his greed is based on safety. Since he does not have absolute control over the four companies, if he holds too many shares, it will be announced one day, which will be very bad.

"Okay." Liu Mingzhang also wanted to ask why only 5% was retained, but in the end, Liu Mingzhang still did not ask, because he knew that Lu Shaohua must have his own intentions for making such arrangements.

"Well, also, let Yunqing go and have a rest. Don't waste time. He still has his mission tomorrow, so don't get involved in this matter." Before hanging up the phone, Lu Shaohua did not forget to let Li Yunqing have a rest. After all, Li Yunqing had to take over Liu Mingzhang's mission and also had to pay attention to the stock market in Hong Kong. He had a lot of burdens on his shoulders.

"I'll tell him." After a long pause, Liu Mingzhang added, "He means he can handle it and wants to get involved."

While talking to Lu Shaohua, Liu Mingzhang covered the microphone, said a few words to Li Yunqing, and finally brought up Li Yunqing's idea to Lu Shaohua.

Lu Shaohua already knew that Li Yunqing was itching to participate, and he also knew that Liu Mingzhang must have communicated with Li Yunqing after pausing for a long time, and finally conveyed his intention on behalf of Li Yunqing, wanting to obtain Lu Shaohua's consent to let him participate.

"Tell him that the impending financial crisis in Asia is the only opportunity I value in recent years. I don't want to mess it up, and I can't afford for a single person to make a mistake." After saying that, Lu Shaohua hung up the phone without waiting for Liu Mingzhang to speak.

Lu Shaohua's meaning was very clear, that is, it is not easy for one person to make mistakes during the Asian financial crisis, and now Li Yunqing asked to stay there and participate in the operation. Even if he is an iron man and his spirit is good, after an all-night operation, will he still be energetic the next day?

There are twenty-four hours in a day and night, and a person needs six hours of sleep. That is to say, a person needs to sleep for six hours in twenty-four hours to avoid feeling tired. However, Li Yunqing requires thirty-six hours of no rest. Will he still have the energy to deal with other things?

Lack of concentration and fatigue will definitely make the brain less clear. As for taking over Liu Mingzhang's position, he has to direct the funds to be deployed bit by bit in various Asian countries. If one link goes wrong, it may lead to the failure of the entire plan.

Amid the Asian financial crisis, Lu Shaohua did not want to see any mistakes, and Li Yunqing's request might cause him to make mistakes, which Lu Shaohua would not allow. So after saying the last sentence, he hung up the phone without caring whether Li Yunqing could understand what he meant.

Anyone with a little bit of common sense could understand what Lu Shaohua meant, let alone someone as smart as Li Yunqing. After hearing Liu Mingzhang convey Lu Shaohua's meaning, Li Yunqing instantly suppressed the impulse in his heart, and then thought of Lu Shaohua's big move, and everything became clear to him.

There is no need to say more about the rest. Li Yunqing parted ways with Liu Mingzhang and the others. However, Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen were different. The two of them picked up the phone and made one call after another, arranging tasks for each group.

With the application of computers and the Internet, it is no longer necessary to go to the securities exchange to operate in person. You only need to set up a few computers at home and connect to the Internet to operate remotely. However, Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen are different. They are only responsible for commanding, and other things are done by their subordinates. They don't even go to the scene.

With the development of modern communications, and the fact that the teams are divided into many groups and cannot be discovered by each other, Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen can only adopt this separate method. It is impossible for them to run to every place, so they simply sit together and use the phone to remotely control the operations of the people below.

With each phone call, the teams below received orders and learned the purpose of the mission. They all stood on high alert and made all preparations, waiting for the stock market in the United States to open before they would take action.

Time passed by bit by bit, and no one knew how long it had been before the stock market in the United States finally opened. In the room where Liu Mingzhang and Li Yunqing were, there were four computers in front of them. The monitor of each computer showed the trend chart of a stock, and one could clearly see the rise and fall of the stock.

Less than five minutes after the stock market opened, the stocks of Microsoft, Apple, Dell, and IBM fell to varying degrees, but the decline was not large and the trading volume was small. It seemed that many people were still waiting and watching.

"I think we can start now. As long as we lower the stock price, many people will already be selling their stocks." Li Zongen took a look and said leisurely.

"Haha! I think so too." Liu Mingzhang said with a smile.

……

There is no need to say more about what happened next. Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen started making phone calls again. Every time a call was connected, the two of them said two words in the same tone, which was "start". After that, there was no further news and they just hung up the phone.

It took several minutes to make the call, and when I finished the call, I looked at the data displayed on the four monitors, which were completely different. The speed of decline was obviously very fast, which meant that my side had already started to act.

Yes, you know, Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen could have spent several minutes on the phone. When they finished the last call, the people who made the calls had already started to act. It was normal to lower the stock prices and make the four companies fall faster.

Time always passes by unknowingly. Soon, an hour passed, then two hours passed, and the stock market closed. Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen both wrote down the data at the moment the stock market closed. Then the two looked at each other and smiled. No one spoke, but from their expressions, it can be seen that they were very satisfied with the data.

"Today's mission is completed, looking forward to tomorrow." Liu Mingzhang said with a faint smile on his face.

"Well, there will be another good show tomorrow." Li Zongen also said gloomily.

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha!"

The two of them had a tacit understanding, and they laughed out loud when they felt each other's thoughts...
