Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 898: Standing on Wall Street

Lu Shaohua considers himself a Chinese, and he did not speak xenophobically when speaking to the No. 1 leader. Instead, he said, "In a few years, we will not be afraid of the Americans." This sentence may seem insignificant, but the "we" in the middle is full of meaning. That was Lu Shaohua expressing his position.

Lu Shaohua's strength is strong enough to confront the United States, but even with such powerful power he has never had a clear position. It was not until this time that Lu Shaohua clearly expressed his position, which made the No. 1 leader extremely happy.

Leader No. 1 did not expect that he would gain so much from just chatting about something off topic. He was so happy that he chatted a few more sentences with Lu Shaohua, like two old friends chatting, and seemed very cordial.

They chatted like this for nearly half an hour before the call was terminated because the No. 1 leader had something to deal with.

It is undeniable that Chief No. 1 is a man of great insight. During the conversation, Lu Shaohua benefited a lot and understood many principles that he did not understand before. At the same time, Lu Shaohua's impression of Chief No. 1 was deepened.

However, Lu Shaohua did not forget that his former No. 1 leader chose to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between two tigers. He watched Lu Shaohua being bullied without any reaction, which made Lu Shaohua very heartbroken. After all, when Mr. Deng passed away, Mr. Deng had instructed the No. 1 leader to take care of Lu Shaohua, but what was the final result?

Don't forget that the reason why the No. 1 leader was able to become the No. 1 leader was entirely because of the support of Mr. Deng. If it weren't for the support of Mr. Deng, the No. 1 leader would at most be a vice-state level official, and it would be almost impossible for him to reach the top further.

Now, look what happened. Old Deng has passed away, but the No. 1 leader has not completed the tasks he assigned him. Instead, he has been sitting on the sidelines watching the fight between two tigers, and even tried to wait for Lu Shaohua to lose so that he can stand out and reap the benefits. This is something Lu Shaohua cannot tolerate.

Therefore, the feeling of gratitude flashed through Lu Shaohua's mind, and was soon replaced by another emotion. At the same time, Lu Shaohua couldn't help but sigh secretly. "Maybe this is the *** character."

Some people say that women are fickle, but in Lu Shaohua's opinion, prostitutes are the most fickle. Maybe they are your allies, friends, and brothers who can talk about anything today, but what about tomorrow? You can't guarantee tomorrow, maybe they will stab you in the back.

In Lu Shaohua's opinion, he believed that corrupt officials were the least trustworthy, so Lu Shaohua was only briefly grateful to the No. 1 leader and did not keep the favor in his heart.

……

Time always passes by unknowingly, and soon another week has passed. During this week, Lu Shaohua was neither busy nor free, because if he was busy, Lu Shaohua seldom went to the group, and if he was not busy, Lu Shaohua did have things to do.

Phoenix Financial's branch in Wall Street is what Lu Shaohua has been busy with recently. After reaching a settlement with the US government, Lu Shaohua asked Liu Mingzhang and his team to speed up the pace, overturn the previous plan, and quickly build the framework of the branch to start operations as soon as possible.

I have to say that with Lu Shaohua's full support, things were done much faster. In just one week, the preliminary framework was built. Sun Qian and Tang Qian also rushed to the United States with their children, with the intention of settling down there.

Of course, it is impossible for Tang Qian to reveal his identity. He went to the United States in secret and never revealed his identity because he was in charge of a secret company under Phoenix Financial, which was also named Longteng Financial Company.

The name Longteng was decided by Lu Shaohua. Longteng means dragon soaring, a name with very Chinese characteristics. However, it was this name that caused an uproar a few years later.

Well, that is a story for later, let’s not talk about it for now and talk about Phoenix Financial’s branch on Wall Street. Since internationally renowned financial companies are familiar with Phoenix Group, especially after this attack on the US stock market, many financial companies have realized that Phoenix Financial seems to be very powerful.

Now that a branch of Phoenix Financial has settled in Wall Street, will it pose a threat to Wall Street?

This is what many financial giants are worried about. They are afraid that Phoenix Financial's involvement will affect them. Therefore, on the day when Phoenix Financial's branch opened, many financial giants on Wall Street gathered together to analyze whether Phoenix Financial's establishment on Wall Street will have any impact.

The result of the discussion was that Phoenix Financial Branch would have an impact on them, so the financial giants present at the meeting unanimously expressed their intention to form an alliance to resist Phoenix Financial Branch and create obstacles for Phoenix Financial.

But those financial giants were disappointed, because Phoenix Financial Branch did not make any major moves after its opening. Even if there were any moves, they were legitimate investments in the stock market and there was nothing excessive. It seemed that Phoenix Financial Branch came to Wall Street to invest in the US stock market and had no intention of competing with them.

All of a sudden, those financial giants who had long planned to suppress Phoenix Financial Branch felt as sick as if they had eaten a fly, and felt uncomfortable all over. They didn't know whether they could not find a chance to suppress Phoenix Financial Branch or they were afraid that if they continued like this, Phoenix Financial Branch would soon gain a foothold on Wall Street.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The same is true for Wall Street. Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and disputes are inevitable. As a newcomer, Phoenix Financial Branch has to gain a firm foothold, which is the first and most basic step if it wants to develop here.

If we can't gain a foothold here, there's no point in talking about development, and it doesn't seem easy to gain a foothold.

In fact, Lu Shaohua had thought about this problem a long time ago. The first thing to do when going to Wall Street is to gain a firm foothold. Lu Shaohua also expected that he would be suppressed, so Lu Shaohua came up with this idea. Investing honestly in the US stock market seems to be no different from an ordinary financial company. It is all in line with the rules and regulations, and people cannot find any loopholes that can be used as an excuse to suppress it.

The strategy was very successful, leaving the financial giants on Wall Street helpless. In the end, they could only watch Phoenix Financial branch take root on Wall Street.

It only took Sun Qian half a month to take root in Wall Street and gain a firm foothold. Although Lu Shaohua's strategy played a role in the process, it is undeniable that Sun Qian, as the actual author of the conspiracy, made the greatest contribution.

For this purpose, Lu Shaohua also promoted Sun Qian, making his status second only to Liu Mingzhang and other three giants of Phoenix Financial. It can be said that Sun Qian is already the fourth most important person in Phoenix Financial, and his status is very prominent.

Merits should be rewarded and mistakes should be punished. This is Lu Shaohua's principle of doing things. If Sun Qian has made merits, Lu Shaohua will reward him, but if Sun Qian makes unforgivable mistakes in the future, Lu Shaohua will not show mercy when punishing him.

Including Liu Mingzhang and Li Yunqing, old servants of Phoenix Group, if they made unforgivable mistakes, Lu Shaohua would definitely not let them go because of their contributions to the group. If the circumstances were serious, Lu Shaohua would not mind kicking them out of Phoenix Group.

Liu Mingzhang and his friends knew Lu Shaohua's character clearly, and they knew that once their bottom line was crossed, he would not go easy on them, and would inevitably cut them off with a knife. So, no matter what time it was, Liu Mingzhang and his friends looked happy and cheerful on the surface, as if nothing had happened, but when it came to working hours, they were extremely alert and would not allow themselves to make routine mistakes.

But then again, Lu Shaohua is not someone who only knows how to punish. If someone makes a mistake, but that mistake is caused by other factors, Lu Shaohua will still remember the merits.

Just like when Li Yunqing invested in the Hong Kong stock market before, he occasionally suffered losses, but that was affected by external factors, so Lu Shaohua didn't say anything. Instead, he comforted Li Yunqing, saying that investing involves risks and so on.

Facts have proved that Lu Shaohua is such a person. It is precisely because Lu Shaohua is such a person that Liu Mingzhang and others are convinced, and they have accompanied Phoenix Group through all the ups and downs until now, and even forever.

But those are no longer important. What is important is that Phoenix Financial needs to develop. Phoenix Financial has opened two branches on Wall Street, one in the open and one in secret. Now the branch in the open has gained a firm foothold, but what about the branch in secret?

The Longteng Financial Company in the dark is headed by Tang Qian. It can be said that Tang Qian and Sun Qian came to the United States almost at the same time and started to set up the company at the same time. Now that Sun Qian has established himself, how could Tang Qian, whose ability is not much different from Sun Qian, not have established himself?

Don't forget that Longteng Financial Company is a secretive financial company. It doesn't have to be as cautious as Phoenix Financial Branch in its actions. It can go all out and the progress will naturally not be slow.

Therefore, when Sun Qian gained a firm foothold, Tang Qian had already achieved results and entered a new stage, developing extremely rapidly.

For this reason, Lu Shaohua also praised Tang Qian, and naturally it was necessary to promote him. However, Tang Qian was in the dark after all, so promoting him was done in secret. Only a few people knew that he was from Phoenix Financial.

Number five, this is Tang Qian's latest identity. He is only below the three giants Liu Mingzhang and Sun Qian, so he can be considered a person who can call the wind and rain. Of course, if Tang Qian wants to call the wind and rain, he has to show his identity as the fifth person in Phoenix Financial. However, relying on the identity of the general manager of Longteng Financial Company is still a long way to go. He has to wait until Longteng Financial Company becomes a giant financial company.

There is a reason for saying this, because Tang Qian's identity is in the dark, the same as Li Zongen, and it is impossible to make it public in a short period of time, unless one day Lu Shaohua is in charge of everything, maybe their identities will be made public.

Therefore, at this stage, Tang Qian can only be the unknown little figure behind Phoenix Financial.
