Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 866: America's Internal and External Troubles [Part 3]

The Morgan Consortium suddenly realized that they had made a mistake, a huge mistake. They should not have exposed Phoenix Financial. Now, Phoenix Group has found a legitimate excuse to attack the US financial market.

In addition, the Morgan Consortium is also afraid of one thing, which is that the Phoenix Group's targeting of the entire US financial market is fake, and the real target is the Morgan Consortium. This is revenge, revenge for them exposing Phoenix Finance.

It took Phoenix Group just over ten years to develop into what it is today, which shows how powerful the group is. The Morgan Consortium has no doubt that Phoenix Group has its own intelligence system, so it is natural for them to find out that it was the Morgan Consortium that leaked the news.

Under normal circumstances, if Phoenix Group wanted to target the Morgan Consortium, the Morgan Consortium would not be afraid, because the Morgan Consortium was quite powerful and was a top-level consortium. But now it was different. After all, their base, the United States, was in disaster, and it became a joke to stop the Phoenix Group's attack.

It is undeniable that Lu Shaohua chose the right time. The people of the Morgan Consortium realized that this was the best time to defeat the American financial market and attack their Morgan Consortium. As long as there was strong financial backing, the success rate would be almost 100%.

So, the Morgan consortium was scared.

The U.S. stock market is as afraid as the Morgan Consortium. They are afraid for two reasons. One is that a silent business group dares to make threats. If it has no backing, how dare it make such a statement?

What’s more important is that the backing of Phoenix Group cannot be found out. We only know that Phoenix Group has a certain connection with Tiger Roar Base, and that Lu Shaohua is the godgranddaughter of Mr. Deng. Nothing else can be found out.

Mysterious, yes, very mysterious. Looking at the development of Phoenix Group, it can only be described by the word mysterious. It is precisely because of the mystery that the US government is cautious.

It is true that the United States is powerful, but don't forget that behind its power is a paper tiger. They also get afraid sometimes, especially when there is no benefit. They have many concerns, and it is normal for them to panic.

With all these factors combined, the situation suddenly became serious.

Moreover, after Lu Shaohua made his statement, a chain reaction started, and the first to speak out were the Chinese officials. It is true that Phoenix Group is a business group, but it is a leading enterprise in China, and it seems a bit unreasonable not to stand up and support Phoenix Group at this time.

Therefore, not long after Lu Shaohua made his statement, a Chinese spokesperson held a press conference on behalf of the central leadership, condemning the US and demanding that the US present evidence, taking a tough stance, as if he would not give up until things were clear.

Lu Shaohua also received the news, but in Lu Shaohua's view, this was an act by the top leaders to please him, and it was also intended to strike a blow to the United States. After all, Lu Shaohua was on the side of reason this time. Supporting Lu Shaohua while also taking the opportunity to strike the United States was killing two birds with one stone.

Aircraft carrier. Yes, the top leaders came for the aircraft carrier. Last time, due to an accident, Lu Shaohua did not sell the aircraft carrier technology to the country. Now that so many years have passed and Lu Shaohua has not given in, the top leaders of the country are getting anxious.

It is not difficult to imagine that after this show of support, the country's top leaders will definitely send representatives to negotiate with Lu Shaohua, hoping to purchase the aircraft carrier technology in Lu Shaohua's hands.

In response, Lu Shaohua smiled and said nothing, because in Lu Shaohua's mind, the aircraft carrier technology would be sold to the country sooner or later. Selling it early or late was just a matter of time. Now that we have entered the 21st century, it is time to sell it.

However, the development of the incident far exceeded Lu Shaohua's imagination. After the country stood up, it also caused a stir. Several countries that hated the United States stood up to condemn the United States and demanded an explanation from the United States.

The country stood up and the situation became more tense. However, what happened next gave the United States even more headaches. That was the commercial interference. Many large business groups jumped out and listed a lot of evidence to prove that the US government had investigated their companies before, and demanded an explanation from the US government.

Well, those were all foreign condemnations, which did not pose much pressure on the United States. What came next was fatal. Domestic financial groups also jumped out and joined in the fun, making the already chaotic United States even more chaotic.

The clashes between diplomatic and business groups created a double layer of pressure, like a huge rock pressing on the heart of the U.S. government, almost suffocating the U.S. top brass.

This is what the U.S. government fears the most. It would be fine if the business groups could just suppress the government, but they can also suppress the government and face international condemnation. This is something the U.S. government cannot bear.

Explanation, account, evidence.

These three key words have become a thorn in the hearts of Americans. If they fail to resolve them and give an explanation or list evidence, the US government will be plunged into a crisis. Not only will diplomacy be under pressure, but the domestic situation may also get out of control.

Don't underestimate the power of the people, especially in capitalist countries. Once business groups form a force to resist, the government of that country will have a headache. At this time, the United States had just experienced the 9/11 incident, and the situation was tense. If such a thing happened again, it would be like adding insult to injury.

Evidence, we must list the evidence for why we are investigating Phoenix Group, but what evidence do they have? They just heard what the Morgan Consortium said and believed it to be true. They made such a big deal out of it all of a sudden. It was really a miscalculation by the US government.

Without evidence, the US government can only choose to remain silent, not to answer, and try to eliminate the impact with silence.

However, this time the US government was wrong because the opponent they were facing was Lu Shaohua, a tough opponent. The US government did not present evidence on the first day, and Lu Shaohua began to take action again.

"Use the U.S. government to provide evidence immediately, otherwise we will launch an attack on the U.S. financial market in two days." This was Lu Shaohua's ultimatum. At the same time, Lu Shaohua also issued a statement saying that Phoenix Group had no intention of making an enemy of American financial groups and commercial companies. If the U.S. stock market was attacked and listed companies suffered losses, it would be entirely the responsibility of the U.S. government and had nothing to do with Phoenix Group.

This was a vicious plot by Lu Shaohua, which completely pushed the US government into the storm. At the same time, Lu Shaohua was also shifting the responsibility.

"We are in a difficult situation now, right?" Lu Shaohua murmured to himself, mockingly.

This is indeed the case. The current US government is in a dilemma. It thought that secretly investigating a business group would not cause any trouble, but it turned out to be like this. There are already forces in the United States calling on the people to organize protest teams and demand that the US president step down.

However, the US government still did not believe that Phoenix Group had the strength to defeat the US financial market, so they did not give Lu Shaohua a reply, but chose to appease the domestic people and quell internal troubles.

Just like that, another day passed. The outside world was in an uproar and there were still many protests, but the US government was slow to make a statement, which disappointed some people who wanted to see a good show.

Others' disappointment does not mean Lu Shaohua's disappointment. On the contrary, the U.S. government's lack of response just suits Lu Shaohua's wishes. Lu Shaohua is overwhelmed with joy because he just wants to see the U.S. government not respond so that he can naturally take action on the U.S. financial market.

On that evening in Hong Kong time, the atmosphere in Lu Shaohua's villa was solemn. On the surface, it looked no different from usual, but a closer look revealed that it was actually heavily guarded.

In the parking garage of the villa, there are three top-of-the-line Phoenix brand sedans. People who are familiar with the situation will easily find that the license plate numbers of the three cars are very familiar.

That's right, the license plate numbers of those three cars are exactly those of Li Yunqing, Liu Mingzhang, and Li Zongen. The license plate numbers of the three of them are consecutive and easy to remember. The first four digits are all '8' and the last digits are 1-3.

It is obvious at first glance that the three giants of Phoenix Financial have gathered together and it is not a good thing. Well, this is for the outside world. For Phoenix Group, it is a good thing because when they gather together, it often symbolizes that a big action is coming.

There is a saying circulating within Phoenix Financial: "Big actions equal big money."

Indeed, the gathering of the three giants including Liu Mingzhang means that there will be a big move, and with it comes big money.

This major action also clearly shows that Lu Shaohua is preparing to take action against the United States, and now he has summoned Liu Mingzhang and others just to make the final arrangements.

"This is information about the Morgan Consortium. You can take a look first." Lu Shaohua took out three copies of the information printed on A4 paper and said.

Two days were enough time for Li Zhijie to collect a lot of information about the Morgan Consortium. Now, two days had passed, and Li Zhijie had brought back a lot of information. Lu Shaohua sorted it out and printed it out into a document for Liu Mingzhang and the others to see.

Finally, after Liu Mingzhang and the others had read the documents, Lu Shaohua spoke again. "Although our target this time is the United States, our focus is still the Morgan Consortium. We will strike hard at the Morgan Consortium."

Liu Mingzhang and the others all knew that the Morgan Consortium had an inevitable connection with the entire United States. This was a good opportunity for Lu Shaohua to focus on taking care of the Morgan Consortium.

No one said anything, but just nodded heavily to show that they understood.

Seeing this, Lu Shaohua was very satisfied and nodded. After a pause, he spoke again. "There is another goal."

"Oh?"

"Oh?"

"Oh?"
