Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 599: Grudges

Lu Shaohua already had a clear idea about the four American companies. He knew that no matter how much Liu Mingzhang and others suppressed them, they would not be able to collapse them. That was why Lu Shaohua unscrupulously entered the market to suppress and acquire them. Moreover, Lu Shaohua had no intention of really crushing them. The reason he did this was nothing more than to reap some benefits from it and teach them a profound lesson.

Now, the reason why Lu Shaohua asked Liu Mingzhang and others to wait and see and not take action is very simple. That is to wait for others to take action first, and he will follow suit to raise the stock price so that the stock price can recover faster and he can make more profits from it.

"I see. Let's wait until the market opens in the afternoon and see how things go." Liu Mingzhang had a quick reaction and quickly figured out the key points. He immediately made his statement.

"I didn't think it through, haha!" Li Zongen was a little embarrassed, but overall, he was still very calm when facing Lu Shaohua, and did not feel guilty because of his momentary inconsideration.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua nodded and smiled, then stopped talking about trivial topics and said, "You haven't eaten yet, I'll ask Brother Li to go out and buy some supper. I'll stay here tonight too.

Lu Shaohua wanted to see with his own eyes how the four companies ended up, and at the same time, he also wanted to see how much benefit he could get from this "battle". It was precisely because he wanted to see it with his own eyes that Lu Shaohua came here in the middle of the night.

"That's great." Liu Mingzhang was the first to raise his hands in agreement.

Come to think of it, it was late at night and everyone was asleep. When the stock market opened, one had to concentrate on staring at the trend charts on four monitors. There was no way of getting someone to buy it, and no one could be sent out to buy it. Now the stock market was closed, and there were still a few hours until it opened in the afternoon. The time in between was free time and something to fill one's stomach. Naturally, Liu Mingzhang would not object.

"Haha!" Li Zongen didn't say anything, just laughed. However, his next action exposed his intention, because one of his hands subconsciously touched his stomach, and it was obvious that he was hungry.

What else could Lu Shaohua do? He could only shake his head with a wry smile, and then told Li Shangkui to take a few people out to buy some delicious food. Of course, Lu Shaohua also specifically told them how much to buy. After all, there were dozens of bodyguards following him, and it was the middle of the night, and Lu Shaohua couldn't let them go hungry.

After instructing Li Shangkui to buy a midnight snack, Liu Mingzhang's voice also rang out, asking Lu Shaohua, "Is the group stable?"

Don't forget that Liu Mingzhang is also a member of Phoenix Group and the executive vice president of Phoenix Group. Although he usually only manages his own business, he still has a sense of the overall situation at critical moments. As for his sense of responsibility, there is no need to say more. Liu Mingzhang is the oldest person in Phoenix Group and the first employee of Phoenix Group. His sense of belonging to "home" is stronger than anyone else.

"It's almost done. We will start a major counterattack tomorrow. After taking back the share that originally belonged to us, we will launch a large-scale attack to snatch more food from their mouths." Lu Shaohua said casually, with a slightly smug look on his face.

This is indeed the case, and Lu Shaohua should be proud of it. After all, Phoenix Group was in danger of bankruptcy at the beginning. But now, after a counterattack, it has not only saved the situation, but also regained its original market share in just a few days. It is also launching a large-scale attack to expand the market. This earth-shaking change is indeed worth being proud of.

"Ha ha!"

Liu Mingzhang laughed loudly and said, "Then they lost both the lady and the army?"

It is easy to tell who Liu Mingzhang refers to as 'they'. They are simply the rivals, enemies, and business competitors of the Phoenix Group.

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua also laughed and asked, "Now that we have so many stocks in our hands, can they still make money?"

"That's right, haha!" Liu Mingzhang then realized the grammatical error in his words and laughed again.

However, at this time, Li Zongen, who had been listening quietly, suddenly spoke up and asked, "I heard that a few days ago, a vice president of the Yamaguchi-gumi in Japan died, along with his entire family, as well as the current president of Toyota Motors and the former president of Honda Motors?"

Hearing this, Lu Shaohua's face changed instantly and became very cold. Lu Shaohua didn't know why Li Zongen suddenly asked such a question. On the surface, they couldn't possibly know that it was Lu Shaohua who did it, but in fact it was Lu Shaohua who did it. Lu Shaohua was more or less resistant to people mentioning this question, so after Li Zongen asked, Lu Shaohua did not speak, but stared at Li Zongen with a cold face.

It's no wonder that Lu Shaohua treats Li Zongen like this. After all, Li Zongen has half Japanese blood. During the Japanese stock market crash in 89, Li Zongen had no objection to attacking the Japanese stock market. But he is a half Japanese after all. Now that the killing of Japanese is mentioned again, Lu Shaohua always feels a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Li Zongen was also looking at Lu Shaohua without blinking. When Lu Shaohua cast his eyes at him, their two eyes happened to meet. Seeing Lu Shaohua's eyes were so cold, Li Zongen was already sure in his heart that this matter was related to Lu Shaohua.

Since it was confirmed, Li Zongen did not look at Lu Shaohua. After all, Lu Shaohua's eyes were too scary. He looked away, but he was very happy in his heart. After pondering for a long time, he said, "Director Lu, there is a reason why I asked this question. I know that I have half Japanese blood, but I don't have much sense of belonging to Japan. Not only do I not have any, but I hate it."

Li Zongen knew very well that if he didn't make things clear today, there would always be a gap between him and Lu Shaohua, a gap that could never be repaired, and he might not be able to stay in Phoenix Group anymore because of this incident and would no longer be able to manage dozens of offshore companies.

"Oh?" Lu Shaohua remained expressionless, staring at Li Zongen without blinking, putting pressure on him. At the same time, Lu Shaohua knew in his heart that Li Zongen must have something unknown. "Tell me why?"

"Haha!" Li Zongen laughed, but with his eyes that were uglier than crying, the nature of his laughter changed completely, becoming so desolate and sentimental. "My father and my father were originally engineers in Toyota Motor Corporation, but when a contract expired, they were both ready to leave Toyota Motor Corporation, but were rejected. They were not allowed to leave, and they were forced to sign another contract. Later, my father and mother refused and had a big fight with the senior management. On the second day, they both died at home with multiple stab wounds. Later, after investigation, I learned that the person who killed my parents was none other than the vice president of the Japanese Yamaguchi-gumi, and the person behind the scenes was a senior member of the Toyota Motor Corporation family."

Hearing this, Lu Shaohua's heart skipped a beat, but he was relieved. At the same time, he also understood one thing, that is, Li Zongen had been in Phoenix Group for a long time, and his wealth was at least tens of billions, but he had never seen Li Zongen's parents. He only saw Li Zongen's elderly grandmother. It seemed that both his parents had passed away.

However, Lu Shaohua still had some doubts, that is, why did the senior executives of Toyota Motor send people to kill two powerless engineers? Logically, this would not happen. After all, if the talents left, they could be recruited again. There was no need to be so cruel.

Li Zongen seemed to see Lu Shaohua's doubts, and without waiting for Lu Shaohua to ask, he began to explain. "I lived in the school dormitory and didn't know what happened. But later I asked a private detective to check and found out that my parents had a very high position in Toyota and mastered a technology. This was the reason why Toyota didn't let them leave, and it was also the reason why they were killed."

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua nodded, and everything was relieved. He knew that Li Zongen had no need to deceive him. He patted Li Zongen on the shoulder, comforted him, and then said, "Now the vice president of the Yamaguchi-gumi has been killed, and the murderer has also received retribution. As for the mastermind of Toyota Motor's senior management, well, I will give you the opportunity to take revenge personally. At that time, I will acquire Toyota Motor in full and destroy their century-old foundation."

Lu Shaohua was not talking nonsense. He had thought about acquiring Toyota Motor a long time ago, but had not put it into action yet. Small R Country cannot be compared with the United States. Lu Shaohua does not have Small R Country, so he does not need to worry about suppression from Small R Country's government in acquiring Toyota Motor.

There was nothing more to say. Lu Shaohua had said so much. Li Zongen was certainly moved, but he was not like other people who would work hard for a token of gratitude. He just said lightly, "Thank you!"

"No need to be polite. Acquiring Toyota has long been in my plan. I was going to acquire them in 89, but Phoenix Group had not yet been established, so I never took action. Now it's different. Phoenix Group has grown stronger, and it's time to swallow it up." Lu Shaohua waved his hand and said, and then he didn't forget to add one more sentence. "The time is coming soon, maybe next year, when the Asian financial crisis breaks out, the opportunity will come."

"I will take action myself when the time comes." Li Zongen made a request.

"I agree." Lu Shaohua smiled and said.

The acquisition of Toyota Motor would mean cutting off the financial resources of the family behind Toyota Motor and causing their century-old business to change hands. This would be a great shame and humiliation. More importantly, Toyota Motor also played a role as the main instigator in the Qin Sichen kidnapping incident. Given Lu Shaohua's character, how could he let them go so easily?

However, Li Zongen did not know that he thought that acquiring Toyota Motors was already revenge. After all, revenge sometimes does not necessarily mean killing the enemy. The shame of losing their century-old foundation is more painful than killing them.
