Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 738 Chaos

Zeng Aimin wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly back to Shenzhen at this moment, because he knew that Lu Shaohua was going to take action on Shenzhen's financial market. Once Lu Shaohua took action, without any preparation, Shenzhen's stock market would definitely plummet. As the secretary of the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee, Zeng Aimin had to go back to take charge of the overall situation.

Of course, Zeng Aimin had thought about persuading Lu Shaohua not to attack Shenzhen's financial market, but Zeng Aimin knew that it was useless because Lu Shaohua was determined to take revenge, and no matter how he tried to persuade him, it would be useless.

But will it be useful for Zeng Aimin to go back to Shenzhen to arrange defense?

Since Lu Shaohua dared to tell Zeng Aimin the news in advance, Lu Shaohua was 100% sure that he was not afraid of Zeng Aimin's deployment of defense, because as early as when the Hong Kong stock market plummeted, the Shenzhen stock market also had small fluctuations, and when the Shenzhen stock market just opened in the morning, Liu Mingzhang and others had already entered the market.

The outcome for Hong Kong is already certain. It will fall, and there is no other way. As the Hong Kong stock market falls, Shenzhen will also be affected. The longer the time, the greater the impact. Coupled with the operations of Liu Mingzhang and others, the Shenzhen stock market is also destined to plummet.

The outcome is already determined, and there is nothing Lu Shaohua cannot say. Shanghai is also Lu Shaohua's target of attack, and he will take the opportunity to acquire some shares and expand his influence.

Holding shares is a form of investment, but there is another form of investment, which is influence. If it is placed on others, it may be just a long-term investment, but for Lu Shaohua, it is a deadly nuclear weapon.

It is well known how strong Phoenix Financial, a subsidiary of Phoenix Group, is. It can almost be compared with the top international financial companies. If Lu Shaohua had not deliberately concealed its strength, those so-called large financial companies would be like children and not on the same level as Phoenix Financial.

As the boss of Phoenix Group, Lu Shaohua owns such a financial company and holds a large number of shares. Just imagine how big a role he can play. If he deliberately wants to cause trouble, he can almost bring down the economy of a region or a country.

In the United States, a capitalist country, their rich people are the bosses. Sometimes, the rich are even more powerful than the country's leaders. Why is that? It is because they have more money and control the country's financial markets and bonds, which give them the magic weapon to win and eventually turn them into boss-like figures.

Let's talk about the Morgan Consortium. Why is their influence so great? They are big shots in the United States and have an extremely high status. Why is that? It's because they control the financial market in the United States. If the government wants to deal with them, they can use a trick to make the US economy collapse in an instant.

This is the magic weapon, the best magic weapon for self-protection.

Lu Shaohua also wanted to emulate the Morgan Consortium and establish absolute influence, so that he would have an extra magic weapon to protect himself.

In fact, Lu Shaohua had thought about doing this many years ago, but he never carried it out as planned. That was because Lu Shaohua felt that he already had enough protective magic weapons and didn't need them anymore. Also, Lu Shaohua's funds were tight in recent years, so he didn't do so.

But suddenly, Lu Shaohua discovered that his protective magic weapons did not seem to be as many as he had imagined. So Lu Shaohua took this opportunity to complete his plan.

Although it is a bit late now, but with such a good opportunity, Lu Shaohua can reduce investment and make some money by the way if he attacks. He doesn't have to do it for a good opportunity. After all, before doing such a thing, he needs an excuse.

If Lu Shaohua wanted to acquire shares in the past, he could only do it bit by bit, over a long period of time, and he couldn't do it openly, because China is a socialist country. If he did it openly, Lu Shaohua would be under a lot of pressure.

It’s different now. Lu Shaohua has found an excuse. He makes a lot of money under the banner of revenge, and then announces how many shares he holds, thus completing his plan.

This was another plan that killed two birds with one stone. Lu Shaohua's wishful thinking was very sound and he also seized the opportunity, which actually proved the saying "after hardship comes happiness".

But then again, it's a bit too early to talk about this now. After all, the plan has just started, and we need to wait until Liu Mingzhang and his team have conquered the financial markets in Shenzhen and Shanghai before we can reach a clear conclusion.

Lu Shaohua was not in a hurry. He believed that Liu Mingzhang and the others would succeed. Lu Shaohua had absolute confidence in Liu Mingzhang, Li Yunqing and Li Zongen.

……

Liu Mingzhang and the other three did not disappoint Lu Shaohua. As soon as the stock market opened in the afternoon, the first to react was the Hong Kong financial market. After the chaos in the morning, the afternoon became even more chaotic. Even if the Monetary Authority of Hong Kong stepped in to rescue the market, the result was the same and the decline could not be stopped.

The market continued to fall, and Li Yunqing, who was in charge of Hong Kong, led his traders to stir up trouble in the market, taking the opportunity to make huge profits, just like an international financial speculator.

Affected by the Hong Kong stock market and the mischief of Liu Mingzhang, who was in charge of Shenzhen, the Shenzhen stock market also plummeted when it opened in the afternoon. In less than half an hour after opening, it fell by nearly 100 points.

More than a hundred points may not be a big deal for Hong Kong, just a fraction, but it is incomparable to Shenzhen. The total points are only a few hundred or a thousand points. It fell by more than a hundred points in half an hour, and the total decline exceeded 10%.

At this time, Shenzhen's Financial Management Bureau also intervened. Following instructions from Zeng Aimin, a large amount of funds entered the market to rescue the market. At the same time, it was announced that the government would not stand idly by in order to stabilize the stock market.

But not long after, Shenzhen media broke another explosive news. The employees of Phoenix Group took to the streets to protest. It was an illegal protest, not organized by the trade union. There was only one reason for the protest, that is, the CEO of Phoenix Group announced at noon that Phoenix Group would withdraw all its investments and move its assets overseas.

There are more than 100,000 local and foreign employees. If half of them took to the streets to protest, it would be a spectacular sight. Moreover, there was someone behind the scenes instigating the protest. Nearly 70% of the employees of Phoenix Group took to the streets to protest, and the number of people reached nearly 80,000.

Needless to say, the mastermind behind the scenes was Lu Shaohua. It was Lu Shaohua who instructed his employees to do this, to take to the streets to protest, whether it was illegal or legal.

As the situation escalated, the stock market fluctuated even more. The stock market, which had just been somewhat stable, fell again, and the decline was even more severe.

This is Lu Shaohua’s killer move, and it is also the strongest killer move. It is also the magic weapon that Lu Shaohua is not afraid to tell Zeng Aimin about when he wants to attack the Shenzhen financial market.

The incident escalated, the stock market's decline was irreversible, and with Liu Mingzhang's mischief, the Shenzhen Municipal Government was completely helpless.

The stock markets in Shenzhen and Hong Kong plummeted. Although Shanghai was a bit far away, it was unable to escape. It began to fall when it opened in the afternoon. With Li Zongen's small moves, the decline became larger and larger. The Shanghai Municipal Government also stepped in, but it still could not stop the downward trend.

As the saying goes, good news travels a thousand homes, while bad news travels a thousand miles.

This is the current situation. A large-scale demonstration took place in Shenzhen. All of a sudden, all parts of China knew about it. Shanghai was no exception. The news also spread there, and the stock market was inevitably turbulent.

The simultaneous occurrence of this situation in three places made the authorities very helpless. In the afternoon, another group of people representing the country came to Hong Kong again and wanted to meet Lu Shaohua, but Lu Shaohua did not give them a chance. He blocked them outside the door and did not give them any face.

At the same time, leaders of various Asian countries issued invitations in front of the media, inviting Phoenix Group to relocate to their countries, and made generous promises, such as tax exemption, free land, etc.

In particular, countries that are hostile to China have been desperately encouraging the Phoenix Group to move into their countries. Among them are Japan, South Korea, and even Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party, which did not miss the opportunity and expressed that Taiwan welcomes the Phoenix Group to move to Taiwan.

The whole of Asia was in chaos, and it became a mess in just one afternoon. The cause was the Phoenix Group’s announcement of divestment and transfer of investment.

It’s not over yet. In the evening, important leaders of some European and American countries also expressed their welcome to Phoenix Group. They wanted to join in the fun and make some veiled attacks on the Chinese government.

In response to this, Lu Shaohua expressed helplessness, but he was not surprised, because the development of the matter was completely within Lu Shaohua's expectations.

What kind of company is Phoenix Group? It is one of the top companies in the world. It is a blessing for any country where it is stationed. It can boost economic development, and at the same time, the fiscal revenue of that country will increase greatly.

This is a good thing, just like a delicious and sweet cake, very attractive, who wouldn’t want to get it.

But the funniest thing is Japan's Toyota Motor. Without Lu Shaohua's instructions, the current president of Toyota Motor actually told the media that he was willing to pay to acquire the production base of Phoenix Motor after it withdrew, and planned to build the largest automobile production base in China.

Toyota Motor is already a subsidiary of Lu Shaohua, and they want to acquire the production base of Phoenix Motor. They also act as if Phoenix Group will definitely withdraw. It is simply the funniest joke in the world.

However, at this time, Phoenix Group did not respond at all. This was also instructed by Lu Shaohua. After all, Lu Shaohua's purpose was to create pressure, to create pressure on the country's top leaders, to let the country's top leaders know that if they angered Lu Shaohua, once Phoenix Group withdrew, the country would face the problem of having to resolve hundreds of thousands of employees and reducing a lot of fiscal revenue.
