Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 739 Preliminary Results

As early as in the Shenzhen Phoenix Group incident that year, Lu Shaohua used the method of withdrawing investment to suppress those who wanted to take over the Phoenix Group. Lu Shaohua did not expect that he would use this trick again today, but this time was a little different from the last time. This time there was a street protest, and the commotion was much louder than the last time.

Of course, there are still many differences. The last time Lu Shaohua said that the withdrawal of investment was an internal decision, it was just a show. Lu Shaohua reported the situation to the higher-ups. But this time it was very different. Lu Shaohua didn't even say hello, but directly held a press conference to announce the matter.

If Lu Shaohua was just threatening last time, and the top management could see it as a trick played by Lu Shaohua, then it would be different this time. As we all know, Phoenix Group has always been a reputable enterprise in China. Since the matter has been reported to the media, it means that it is true.

What's more important is that Phoenix Group also cooperated internally. With a little encouragement, the employees took to the streets to protest, making it look like the real thing. In addition, Lu Shaohua did things so thoroughly that no one would suspect that Lu Shaohua was just acting for the people above him.

In order to solve the employment problem of hundreds of thousands of employees, Shenzhen’s fiscal revenue will be reduced by several hundred million yuan each year. In addition, the companies near the Phoenix Base will also go bankrupt, which means that Shenzhen’s famous tourist attraction, Window of the World, will be closed indefinitely. It is imaginable how much impact this will have on Shenzhen.

Shenzhen has finally come to where it is today, and has worked hard to develop and become the window to the outside world it is today. If Phoenix Group were to go away, the loss would be huge. Whether it is Shenzhen officials or the country's top leaders, how can they not be heartbroken?

Especially the top leaders of the country, it was because of them that Phoenix Group left. If Lu Shaohua revealed the reason for the withdrawal of investment, the top leaders of the country would not only become a laughing stock internationally, but also become incompetent and useless officials in the eyes of the people. Who would dare to be careless about this matter?

Therefore, under the order of the central government, Shenzhen officials acted quickly and first talked to the CEO of Phoenix Group, hoping to suppress the parade and then discuss other matters later.

The executive president of Shenzhen Phoenix Group is Lu Shaohua's sister. Of course, she has a way to contact Lu Shaohua. Through QQ, Lu Xiaoxian conveyed the city government's intention and asked Lu Shaohua to make a decision. Lu Shaohua also agreed and asked the parade team to withdraw first, and other things would be dealt with slowly.

In fact, in addition to wanting to create pressure on the people above him, Lu Shaohua organized this march more for the stock market. Only by making a big fuss would the stock market fall. This way, it would be easier for Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen to operate on the state side without being under too much pressure.

Now the goal has been achieved. The stock markets are falling in both Shenzhen and Shanghai. There is no need for Lu Shaohua to continue the march. It is enough to just go for the sake of pretending. He will take the next step according to the change in the situation.

As the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes. Lu Shaohua has a general plan, but sometimes plans have to keep up with changes, otherwise Lu Shaohua might go astray. Therefore, Lu Shaohua's current approach is to wait and see.

The telephone lines were cut off, mobile phones were turned off, and the gate of the villa was under martial law. No one was allowed to enter without Lu Shaohua's permission or the people living inside. No one could see Lu Shaohua, which made officials in China and Hong Kong very helpless.

The matter has become so serious, and the source of everything is the Phoenix Group, and the boss of the Phoenix Group is Lu Shaohua. Now we can't even see Lu Shaohua, so how can we talk about solving the problem? The only thing we can do is to worry. As the situation continues to deteriorate, we can only wait anxiously for Lu Shaohua to show up.

But Lu Shaohua just refused to show up, and no one could do anything about it.

Lu Shaohua definitely did it on purpose. He deliberately did not show up, letting things mess around outside for a few days, and then sat down to have a good talk with the representatives sent from the country.

Some people may ask what is the significance of Lu Shaohua doing this?

No point? No, Lu Shaohua never does meaningless things. Now Lu Shaohua is stalling for time. Don't forget that Liu Mingzhang and the other two are operating the stock markets in three places. If Lu Shaohua talks with the domestic representatives now and reaches an agreement, then this farce will be over.

Once the farce is over, Lu Shaohua's hidden purpose will not be accomplished. What's more, the stock markets in the three places have not yet hit the bottom, and it is far from the time when it hurts the nerves. In other words, it is not yet possible to give a profound lesson to the domestic top leaders. How can Lu Shaohua stop at this time?

"Let's talk about it in two days." Lu Shaohua muttered to himself.

This is the time set by Lu Shaohua, and it is also a signal, a signal of when to end this farce.

……

Two days! Lu Shaohua can wait for two days, but can the officials of the country and Hong Kong wait for two days?

No, things have developed to this point. If we delay for another day, the losses will increase exponentially. Who can afford to wait? But we have to wait even if we can't. Lu Shaohua just won't see them, no matter how high their official position or how familiar they are with each other. Lu Shaohua will not see them.

Facts also confirmed Lu Shaohua's determination. In the next two days, the highest-ranking official who came to the door of Lu Shaohua's villa was a vice-state-level senior official, the current vice premier. Although he was not a member of the Standing Committee, his status was also extremely high. However, he was still blocked by Lu Shaohua. In a word, he refused to see him.

As the highest official in Hong Kong, he has visited Lu Shaohua many times in the past two days, but Lu Shaohua has refused to give him any face and refused to meet him, no matter whether he is the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region or a high-level celebrity.

Even though Lu Shaohua had a good relationship with Ho Ying-tung and Li Jiacheng, Lu Shaohua did not allow them to step into the villa. In other words, no matter who it was, I would not see them.

With no other choice, everyone had to retreat. No matter how patient everyone was, they came at least twice a day to ask to see Lu Shaohua, and only left after being turned away.

At this point, everyone knew that Lu Shaohua was angry, and very, very angry. The situation was becoming more and more serious, especially the stock markets in the three places, which were falling every day and were about to plummet. In the end, no one could stop it. All those who knew the situation realized how powerful Lu Shaohua was and that he could easily grasp the lifeline of the economy.

And on this day, which was also the third day after the incident, Lu Shaohua finally spoke up and personally called Ho Ying-tung, asking him to come to the villa to meet the first outsider in three days.

The matter has been investigated clearly. Chen Guobang spent more than two days to find out everything about the vice premier who wanted to oppress Lu Shaohua. He then compiled the information and passed it to Lu Shaohua, awaiting Lu Shaohua's decision.

Just as Lu Shaohua guessed, the man who could become the vice premier was indeed not an ordinary person. During his tenure, he did not make any major mistakes, but there were a few minor ones. There was not much evidence to hold against him. However, his two sons and one daughter became the fatal points of his political future.

One of his two sons is in the system and is now the mayor of a prefecture-level city. He has used his power to pursue many personal gains, including corruption, bribery, and violations of regulations and disciplines. Lu Shaohua has found a sore spot in his body.

There is also a younger son, a typical playboy, who opened a shell company and made a lot of money by using his father's connections. On the surface, he looks like a successful businessman, but in fact, he is no different from other second-generation officials.

As for his daughter, she is doing well in life and also runs a company, but this company is constantly reselling state-owned assets, taking advantage of loopholes in the reform, buying low and selling high and low.

After preliminary investigation, Chen Guobang found that his youngest daughter had earned no less than 100 million RMB a year by leveraging her relationship with his brother, the mayor of that prefecture-level city. This was even more profitable than Lu Shaohua's arms smuggling.

As for the vice premier himself, he came from a grassroots background and climbed up to a high position step by step. His life was somewhat bumpy. He is a respectable person, but in terms of Lu Shaohua, he is Lu Shaohua's enemy. How could Lu Shaohua respect him?

He was born in a grassroots family and has no family. However, he has a group of direct officials behind him. He forms his own faction and looks very glorious.

Perhaps it was because he was a unique person that he had the courage to challenge Lu Shaohua. He thought he was the most powerful person in the world. After provoking Lu Shaohua, Lu Shaohua couldn't do anything to him, so he was so arrogant.

Unfortunately, he was wrong, extremely wrong, and he offended Lu Shaohua, and ultimately could not escape a tragic end.

According to Chen Guobang's investigation, among the group of officials behind him, there is a provincial governor and more than a dozen mayors, all of whom are well-known figures. According to preliminary investigations, among this group of people, nearly ten people have problems. They are all corrupt officials, and they are extremely corrupt. Including the provincial governor, he is a protective umbrella for evil forces.

As the ancients said, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked. However, this deputy prime minister has an upright upper beam but a crooked lower beam. Ninety percent of his direct relatives are rotten. He has made a mistake in selecting people. He can't even manage his own sons and daughters. How can he take on such an important responsibility?

Move down.

Lu Shaohua had already made up his mind. Originally, Lu Shaohua still had some hope in his heart, hoping that the vice premier was a good official, and maybe he would let him go if he softened his heart, but the result was very different, so Lu Shaohua didn't need to be polite to him.

With a plan in mind, Lu Shaohua didn't want to meet the senior official who came to see him, so he asked Huo Yingdong to come over. Huo Yingdong had a good relationship with him, and he was the messenger. Who else could Lu Shaohua find if not him?

When he heard that Lu Shaohua wanted to see him, Huo Yingdong rushed over from home without saying a word.

Look, it originally took nearly 40 minutes to drive, but Ho Ying-tung shortened the journey by 10 minutes. It took him more than 20 minutes or half an hour to reach Lu Shaohua's villa, and he entered Lu Shaohua's villa alone.
