Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 667: Business Intelligence Network

On the afternoon of the day when he saw off his mother and daughter Lu Yuting, Lu Shaohua received a call from Li Zhijie. The content of the call was very simple, that is, there was a result in Saudi Arabia. The second prince inherited the throne of the royal family and became Lu Shaohua's most solid ally.

It is said that they are the most solid allies, but is it true that they say one thing and do another? This is still an unknown. We have to wait for the actions of the second prince to prove it.

Therefore, when Lu Shaohua received Li Zhijie's call, he immediately gave Li Zhijie an order to keep an eye on the movements of the Saudi Arabian royal family to see whether the second prince had done what he promised at the time.

Li Zhijie was not an ordinary person. He knew that people's hearts were unpredictable, and he certainly would not relax his guard against the second prince. So when Lu Shaohua told him about this, Li Zhijie only used one sentence to answer. "I have already made arrangements. If they do something that is not good for us, we will know it in less than three minutes."

"That's good." Lu Shaohua seemed very satisfied. At this moment, he truly realized the terrifying nature of the Tiger Roar Intelligence Network.

In the past, Lu Shaohua only knew that the Tiger Roar Intelligence Network covered all parts of the world, and a large amount of intelligence was delivered to Li Zhijie every day. But at this moment, Lu Shaohua realized that the Tiger Roar Intelligence Network had become so powerful that even the Saudi Arabian royal family had been infiltrated by the Tiger Roar Intelligence Network.

But Li Zhijie didn't care. In his opinion, the Saudi Arabian royal family was nothing. Even in a country like the United States, some actions of their cabinet officials were covered by the Tiger Roar Intelligence Network, and some things were known to Li Zhijie.

Yes, Lu Shaohua didn't know how much money he had invested in Li Zhijie's establishment of an intelligence network. According to preliminary estimates, no less than 200 billion US dollars had been invested from the initial establishment to now.

Two hundred billion US dollars may not seem like a lot, but it has only been a short time since the intelligence network was established, and two hundred billion US dollars in real money have been invested in it. It is really terrifying.

But then again, the money invested is still worth it. At least in recent years, the intelligence provided by the Tiger Roar Intelligence Network has played a key role, both in Asia and in the Middle East.

The Middle East mainly operates oil fields. Whenever there is an oil field, the intelligence network will launch activities, collect intelligence, make all kinds of guarantees, and then make acquisitions, which is basically achieved 100%.

Asia provides convenience to the Phoenix Group in terms of business activities, which relieves the Phoenix Group of many worries. If they encounter competitors, they can know the other party's purpose in advance, collect relevant intelligence, and launch targeted counterattacks, allowing the Phoenix Group to develop smoothly.

But now is not the time to discuss how powerful the Tiger Roar Intelligence Network is. In addition to telling Lu Shaohua that the second prince has inherited the throne, Li Zhijie called to tell him about the changes in the situation over there.

"The second prince's personality suddenly changed. He stopped hesitating and acted decisively to wipe out the eldest prince's line. Even his grandfather's family was wiped out by the second prince. I really didn't expect that." Li Zhijie sighed at the end, narrating the crucial cruelty.

For a superior like the Second Prince, it is obviously impossible to ascend to the throne without being stained with blood. Lu Shaohua also suggested that the Second Prince should be more decisive. The final result showed that the Second Prince listened to Lu Shaohua's advice and wiped out the First Prince's line.

"Where is the third prince?" Lu Shaohua asked after pondering for a moment.

In Lu Shaohua's eyes, the eldest prince will never achieve great things. The person who poses a threat to the second prince is the third prince. Although he looks like a dandy boy, he is actually a real forbearer and the biggest threat. Moreover, the third prince and the eldest prince are from the same faction. If the third prince is not eliminated, he will always be a threat.

"He was also killed." At this point, Li Zhijie paused and sighed. "Speaking of the Third Prince, he was quite cunning. It took a lot of effort to find him, and he was killed with our help. If it was just the Second Prince's men, it would be impossible to kill him."

Hearing this, Lu Shaohua smiled secretly in his heart. Lu Shaohua knew what kind of person the Third Prince was. It was normal for him to have power in secret. It was even more normal for such a thing to happen now.

"It's over now!" Lu Shaohua said without thinking, and after a pause, he continued, "Now our focus is to manage Saudi Arabia. If the second prince is sensible and becomes a true ally with us, then both sides will benefit. If he does something ungrateful, then we don't need to be polite to him."

Lu Shaohua has done so many things, even directly participating in their royal dispute, and what was it all for? It's nothing more than oil. Now that his goal has been achieved, if the second prince turns against him, Lu Shaohua will certainly not be polite to him.

Lu Shaohua's usual style of doing things is that he could ignore it in the past, but now that he has worked hard, achieved his strategic goal, he must manage it well. It was obtained with hard work and must be cherished.

"I understand. There are so many princes in their royal family. If the second prince is disobedient, we can support another one. After all, we have done so many things, and we may leave in disgrace." Li Zhijie said in a gloomy and unfriendly tone.

Just like Lu Shaohua, either don't fight for it, or if you win, there must be benefits to be gained, otherwise, Li Zhijie will not give up.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua responded calmly, paused for a few seconds, then changed the subject and continued, "You should keep an eye on Saudi Arabia. The problem now is the intelligence network. After years of development, the intelligence network has gradually improved, but we can't just feed it and not let it bring us benefits. Even if that brings convenience to our development, it's still a loss-making business after all."

Lu Shaohua is a typical businessman. Businessmen are profit-driven, but the Huxiao Intelligence Network has only been losing money up to now. Although it has brought a lot of convenience to its development, Lu Shaohua is also heartbroken by the investment of money.

"What do you mean?" Li Zhijie on the other end of the phone frowned and asked.

"Selling information." These four simple words revealed Lu Shaohua's true intention.

That's right, Lu Shaohua's idea is to sell intelligence. Intelligence, which is something in the form of words, can sometimes be sold for money. For example, in business, if Li Zhijie and his team collect intelligence about a company's development plan, they can sell the intelligence to their rival companies and make a profit from it.

"Business-wise?" Li Zhijie understood what Lu Shaohua meant, but he was not sure whether his idea was correct, so he asked again tentatively.

"No." Lu Shaohua refused without hesitation, and then said, "It's all the information. As long as it can create profits, we can sell it. Well, we can sell it in the name of the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group."

Finally, after finishing his words, Lu Shaohua knew that Li Zhijie had not fully understood what he meant, so he gave him a simple example. "Isn't the Middle East very chaotic now? There are many armed organizations plotting evil. If we can collect information about those organizations and sell it to the other party, wouldn't we be able to gain benefits? Also, for example, selling some gathering places of armed organizations so that the other party can accurately eliminate them can also be exchanged for benefits."

The Middle East is in chaos because of oil, and the analogy Lu Shaohua made was also directed at oil. If he knew that by selling such emotional services, the Tiger Roar Base could not only gain the favor of the other party and achieve the goal of building a network of relationships, but also gain benefits from it. What's more, it could also exchange intelligence for oil. How could Lu Shaohua let go of such a good plan to kill two birds with one stone?

At this point, Li Zhijie's guess finally became clear, and he understood Lu Shaohua's deeper purpose. He originally thought that Lu Shaohua simply wanted to use intelligence to exchange for benefits, but Lu Shaohua used the Middle East as an example, which clearly showed that he had an ulterior motive.

Li Zhijie is not a fool. After thinking carefully, he instantly understood that Lu Shaohua was targeting oil and indirectly catalyzing his oil plan.

"I will plan it carefully." Li Zhijie said cautiously.

This is a big plan, which is related to Lu Shaohua's oil plan. It is all linked to the big plan. Since it is a big plan, Li Zhijie cannot be careless. If something goes wrong in the middle, it may cause Lu Shaohua's plan to fail, which is not what Lu Shaohua wants to see. Similarly, Li Zhijie does not want him to fail when implementing the plan.

"Well, I believe you can do it." Lu Shaohua did not forget to encourage Li Zhijie at this time. After a moment of silence, Lu Shaohua added, "This kind of thing needs to be done slowly. We can't be impatient. Besides, we have been holding on for so many years and don't mind waiting for a while. So, try to make the plan as perfect as possible before starting to implement it, so that we can be more confident."

In a word, Lu Shaohua was not in a hurry, nor did he let Li Zhijie be in a hurry. He let him take it slow and only started to implement the entire plan when he was 100% sure.

"I will, don't worry." After understanding Lu Shaohua's meaning, Li Zhijie certainly knew what he should do.

"I'm glad you understand." Lu Shaohua seemed very happy, and secretly said in his heart: "It's not that hard to talk to smart people."

However, Lu Shaohua had not finished speaking. After talking about operating the intelligence network, Lu Shaohua suddenly remembered something else, a matter related to the entire base, which also required Li Zhijie and others to carry out.
