Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 895: America’s Revenge

The purge operation began, especially the forces supported by the Americans, which were within the scope of elimination of Lu Shaohua and the second prince. They took advantage of this opportunity to completely drive the Americans out of Saudi Arabia. Yes, Lu Shaohua and the second prince formed a tacit understanding to drive the American forces out of Saudi Arabia.

However, the cleanup over there was taking place in Saudi Arabia and had nothing to do with Lu Shaohua. Lu Shaohua was in Hong Kong at the time and Hong Kong was peaceful and would not be affected. However, Lu Shaohua could take advantage of this opportunity to speculate in oil futures and drive up the price of oil.

A change of government in Saudi Arabia may not seem to have much impact, but Saudi Arabia is an oil-producing country. A change of president will have some impact on oil, but under normal circumstances, the impact will not be that great.

But now it is different. This president was elected with a super high number of votes, which can be called a miracle in history. Therefore, it has greatly stimulated the price of oil. In addition, Lu Shaohua and others are secretly doing some small tricks, and the price of oil continues to soar.

Lu Shaohua had anticipated all this would happen long before the presidential election, so a week ago, Lu Shaohua made arrangements and mobilized a large amount of funds to enter the oil futures market, sell at a low price, and then wait for the price of oil to rise.

Making a profit from the price difference was Lu Shaohua's goal. Seeing the oil price rising continuously, Lu Shaohua couldn't help but feel excited. That was money. For every cent the oil price went up, Lu Shaohua would have more money in his pocket.

But soon, Lu Shaohua regained his composure, because Lu Shaohua knew deeply that as the second prince and he were cleaning up the forces in Saudi Arabia, the price of oil would continue to rise. At least until the cleanup was completed and Saudi Arabia returned to peace, the price of oil would slowly fall.

There is still a long time to go, and he will continue to make money. Naturally, Lu Shaohua will not be too excited. What's more important is that the money he earns is just a small amount compared to the financial crisis. There is nothing to be surprised about.

What concerned Lu Shaohua was the progress of the cleaning. For this purpose, Lu Shaohua specially called Li Zhijie and asked him to organize the daily progress into materials and send them to him so that he could pay attention to them every day.

What Lu Shaohua could not have imagined was that after the cleanup operation in Saudi Arabia began, the US government was in a panic. The reason for this was entirely because their forces had been wiped out, and the force that they had spent more than ten years to build was wiped out. It was truly heartbreaking!

It's not that the US government has not thought about providing support there, but they are powerless. Up to now, the United States is still under martial law, and officials and departments at all levels are busy. How can they spare the energy to deal with things in Saudi Arabia?

In the end, the Americans had no choice but to give up their support and wait until the country stabilized before integrating the forces in Saudi Arabia.

But can the Americans enter Saudi Arabia again?

No one knows the answer, but Lu Shaohua can answer the Americans that it is difficult, too difficult, harder than climbing to the sky.

According to Lu Shaohua's character, he will have a foolproof plan once he takes action. This foolproof plan is not only for the cleanup, but also for the precautions after the cleanup. No matter how strong the Americans are, they cannot infiltrate the alliance between Lu Shaohua and the second prince.

One is a local tyrant, and the other is a powerful mysterious organization. The combination of the two is truly a powerful combination, and their strength cannot be calculated by the formula one plus one equals two.

……

The Americans can only stand by and are unable to respond to the situation in Saudi Arabia. However, they can create some trouble for their former enemy, Lu Shaohua's Phoenix Group.

First, the Americans expressed their opposition to the malicious attacks on the U.S. stock market by Phoenix Financial, a subsidiary of Phoenix Group. They also put pressure on China through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and seemed to want to use official procedures to crack down on Phoenix Group.

But Americans don’t know that both the Phoenix Group in Hong Kong and the Phoenix Group in Shenzhen have to pay a lot of taxes to the country every year. They are big taxpayers. In addition, the relationship between China and the United States does not seem as friendly as it seems on the surface. Will the Chinese government pay attention to the Americans’ demands and requests?

The answer is obvious. The Chinese government responded to the US government, claiming that it was a business group and that it could not take any action unless it violated Chinese law. In addition, in order to shut the US government up, under the instructions of senior officials, a spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the incident was caused by the US government's secret investigation of the Phoenix Group.

What is the secret investigation of Phoenix Group by the US government?

This is what is said on the surface, but the subconscious is that the current situation is entirely caused by the U.S. government's secret investigation into the Phoenix Group. If there is any fault, it is that the U.S. government should not investigate the Phoenix Group.

Finally, the Chinese Foreign Ministry also criticized the U.S. government for investigating Phoenix Group when there was no evidence that Phoenix Group had maliciously speculated on the U.S. stock market during the 9/11 incident, which violated the regulations of the international community.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs hit back at the US government, leaving the US government speechless!

However, the foreign ministries of both sides are constantly arguing, but people don't know that there are actually a lot of things involved. For example, everything the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs says and does is instructed by China's top leaders and is decided after a meeting of the nine Standing Committee members.

Generally speaking, it is very rare for the nine Standing Committee members to reach a consensus, but this time they passed it unanimously. No one knows the reason, and only the nine Standing Committee members know it clearly.

As the person involved, Lu Shaohua more or less understood that the nine Standing Committee members were killing two birds with one stone. First, they could take the opportunity to strike the United States and add insult to injury. As for the second, it was even simpler. They were concerned about Lu Shaohua's strength.

The scene a few years ago is still vivid in my mind. Lu Shaohua only allocated a batch of funds into the Shenzhen and Shanghai stock markets. In just a few days, the stock markets in Shenzhen and Shanghai were swept up. In the end, he even forgot to buy stocks and held a great deal of control.

If Lu Shaohua were to do it again and hold a lot of stocks, I believe it wouldn't take too long for the stock markets in Shanghai and Shenzhen to face another disaster. Even worse, if the Phoenix Group were to be defeated, the stock markets in Shenzhen and Shanghai would also be in turmoil, since they hold a large number of shares.

The top executives didn't dare to take the risk. They had already suffered a lot at the hands of Lu Shaohua. If they took any action against Lu Shaohua again, Lu Shaohua would definitely fight back, and then things would get really bad.

Lu Shaohua saw through this, but he didn't say much, because he knew that the retaliation of the US government had already come, and filing a complaint with the authorities was just the first salvo, and there would be even more fierce attacks to come.

After realizing that the U.S. government would launch more fierce attacks, Lu Shaohua would certainly not sit still and wait for death. He ordered Li Zhijie to activate the intelligence network and start searching for information to see if he could find out the U.S. government's plans or collect some evidence of the U.S. government's involvement.

It is undeniable that the Tiger Roar Intelligence Network is powerful. In less than three days, Li Zhijie collected a lot of intelligence, one of which was about how the US government took action against the Phoenix Group.

It's very simple. The US government is going to use its force to investigate Phoenix Group's branch in the United States in the name of tax investigation. They firmly believe that a company like Phoenix Group cannot be clean, and a detailed tax investigation should be able to reveal problems.

This is just the first step. The second step is to check taxes and account books. If there are any abnormalities, the accounts of Phoenix Group’s branch can be withheld and then checked slowly. By then, there will be no need to worry about not finding any problems.

Finally, the Phoenix Group branch was put to death, and the US government had the final say on any crime it could accuse.

It's just that wishes are beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Phoenix Group's overseas branches are all staffed by a team of lawyers, which is set up just in case. In addition, the accounts of Phoenix Group's overseas branches are very clean, and there is no tax evasion, so the US government is destined to have no handle on them.

It can be said that the US government’s plan is not feasible. Not to mention the trilogy, even the first step is not feasible.

Lu Shaohua just said: "Don't they want to investigate? Let them investigate."

However, will Lu Shaohua really allow the US government to openly investigate Phoenix Group's overseas branches? The answer is very certain, Lu Shaohua will not. He is not the kind of person who will endure the grievances and fight back.

How to fight back?

This became a problem that Lu Shaohua had to solve urgently. Fortunately, the Huxiao intelligence network was very powerful and they managed to find evidence that the US government wanted to target Phoenix Group's overseas branches.

It is common for a government to do something shady, but once the evidence is made public, the government of that country will be unrecognizable, its international reputation will plummet, and it may even cause a counterattack from business groups.

However, Lu Shaohua has this evidence in his hand, which is the secret of the US government. As long as Lu Shaohua makes good use of this evidence, he is not afraid of the US government dealing with him.

Lu Shaohua is in an invincible position. No matter how the US government targets Phoenix Group, Lu Shaohua can turn the tables at any time and bite back at the Americans.

But then again, if the US government were allowed to investigate Phoenix Group's overseas branches, it would inevitably affect the normal operation of the branches. Once there was an abnormality in the operation, a lot of money would be lost, which was something Lu Shaohua did not want to see.

To stop the American investigation, Lu Shaohua must solve this problem.

But how to solve it? It has become a difficult problem.

"How to solve it?" Lu Shaohua asked himself secretly.
