Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 904: Response Meeting (Part 1)

It is said that the business world is like a battlefield. In the business world, a little carelessness can lead to an irretrievable situation. Therefore, over the years, Lu Shaohua has been developing in the business world based on the principle of being cautious, careful and cautious again. Especially every time he faces an enemy, Lu Shaohua is doubly careful.

This time was the same. Lu Shaohua felt that it was better to be careful. After all, his opponent was the Morgan Consortium, a top-level consortium. Although he could not compare with him in terms of strength in all aspects, he would suffer losses if he underestimated the enemy.

It was precisely because Lu Shaohua did not dare to underestimate the enemy that he was very careful when thinking about how to respond. He had to wait until the subsidiaries reported the situation, and then wait for the Huxiao Intelligence Network to collect some intelligence before Lu Shaohua made targeted arrangements.

It's unfortunate to say that it was pure luck that the Morgan Consortium retaliated against the Phoenix Group at this time. If Li Zhijie hadn't been focusing all his attention on Saudi Arabia, then any move by the Morgan Consortium would have been known to Li Zhijie long ago.

Yes, the Morgan Consortium has made such a big move, and it has united more than one company. It is impossible for them to keep the secret. Since they can't keep the secret, the Tiger Roar Intelligence Network will definitely receive the information.

However, Li Zhijie was so focused on Saudi Arabia that the Morgan Consortium was able to plan this operation smoothly without being discovered. But it didn't matter anymore. Lu Shaohua knew there would be such a battle, but the time was brought forward.

Many years ago, Lu Shaohua knew that it was only a matter of time before he would run into the Morgan Consortium. The reason why he felt this way was because Lu Shaohua wanted to develop Phoenix Financial. And if he wanted Phoenix Financial to reach the top, it would inevitably threaten the Morgan Consortium, the overlord of the financial industry. At that time, a showdown between the two sides would be a necessary step.

Isn't it? Didn't Lu Shaohua make a plan two years ago to make all the subsidiaries of Phoenix Group reach the pinnacle, and no one dared to say they were second. Once this goal was set, the Morgan Consortium was destined to be the enemy, because the Morgan Consortium would never watch someone surpass them.

Since they were destined to be enemies, Lu Shaohua didn't care if they had to fight. But then again, Lu Shaohua still felt it was a pity that the time was too early. If Lu Shaohua was given another seven or eight years, he would be confident that he would plunge the Morgan Consortium into the bottomless abyss and leave it no chance of recovery.

"Let's teach them a lesson first, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop after a few years." Lu Shaohua made the decision secretly in his mind.

Obviously, it is not realistic to destroy the Morgan Consortium now. At least, it is impossible to destroy the Morgan Consortium in one fell swoop without opportunity. Therefore, Lu Shaohua can only teach the Morgan Consortium a lesson, but it is just a lesson.

……

When he arrived at Phoenix Group, Lu Shaohua did not hesitate and went directly to the conference room. At this time, the conference room was already full of people, all of whom were senior managers of Phoenix Group and general managers of subsidiaries. If the general manager was not at the headquarters, the deputy general manager would come to replace him.

When everyone saw Lu Shaohua coming in, they all stood up to show their respect for the chairman.

Seeing this, Lu Shaohua naturally accepted it, and finally walked to the main seat, then he pressed it with his hand, motioning everyone to sit down, and then Lu Shaohua sat down first.

Lu Shaohua swept his eyes across every corner of the conference room. He could be said to have seen the faces of all the senior executives of Phoenix Group. Seeing that they all looked serious, Lu Shaohua said after a moment of silence. "I called everyone here because I believe everyone knows what happened. Yes, Phoenix Group is under attack. Well, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as an attack, because the business world is like a battlefield. This is a war, a commercial war."

At this point, Lu Shaohua paused deliberately to give the people below some time to react, and then continued. "In the more than ten years since the establishment of Phoenix Group, we have encountered many things, including malicious attacks from competitors, trying to pull Phoenix Group off the altar and exclude us, but the results are without exception, they all failed, and our Phoenix Group has not been sad for a long time. Well, many people here have experienced what happened in the past, and they are all aware of the dangers of the group. Here, I will not say more. What I want to say next is that this time is different from the past. In the past, it can be said that it was a small fight. Although it was a danger, it was just a danger and did not turn into a crisis. But this time is different. This time we are facing a more powerful opponent, and there is a crisis."

After saying this, Lu Shaohua couldn't help but feel that he was becoming more and more experienced in speaking at conferences, if for no other reason than that Lu Shaohua could tie many things together without making the point in a confusing way.

However, don’t think that what Lu Shaohua said is useless. In fact, Lu Shaohua said this to review the experience of Phoenix Group. After all, some of the people sitting inside entered Phoenix Group at a later stage and are considered newcomers. They don’t know much about the past history of Phoenix Group. So Lu Shaohua had to talk about it to let those newcomers have a qualitative understanding of the history of Phoenix Group.

In fact, understanding the history of Phoenix Group is also a way to cheer up the people below. After all, some newcomers only know how Phoenix Group rose rapidly, but they don’t know that Phoenix Group was able to stand firm after many battles.

If the newcomers knew this, they would find that the Phoenix Group had fought off many enemies. This would help to boost their morale in the next battle. That is why Lu Shaohua told these things to the people below.

Judging from the faces of the newcomers, what Lu Shaohua said was undoubtedly successful. He aroused the fighting spirit of those people, which made Lu Shaohua very satisfied. After a pause, he continued, "As I said just now, this time is different from the past. Although there were several powerful companies standing against us in the past, their strength was only strong, not yet strong."

"However, this time it is different. According to various phenomena, the opponent we are facing this time is the famous American financial group - Morgan Financial Group." Lu Shaohua suddenly dropped a bombshell, throwing out the Morgan Financial Group. Then, without waiting for everyone to react, Lu Shaohua continued. "Morgan Financial Group, I believe everyone is familiar with this financial group. As early as 1997, Morgan Financial Group invested heavily in the Hong Kong stock market. When Soros created the financial crisis in Asia in 1997, Morgan Financial Group sold a large number of Hong Kong stocks, causing the Hong Kong stock market to plummet. If Phoenix Financial Group had not had abundant funds at that time to rescue the market, I believe the Hong Kong stock market would have collapsed long ago."

Lu Shaohua's last words were not meant to show off, nor to belittle the Morgan Consortium, but to state a fact, and at the same time, to arouse everyone's hatred towards the Morgan Consortium.

Yes, almost all the senior managers of Phoenix Group are from Hong Kong. They witnessed the financial crisis in 1997 and knew that it was Phoenix Financial that saved the Hong Kong stock market. At the same time, they knew even more that the Morgan Consortium was the culprit that caused the crisis in the Hong Kong stock market.

Angry, yes, many people showed anger, which made Lu Shaohua very satisfied. Seeing the good effect, Lu Shaohua waved his hand and said, "Okay, we already know who the enemy is. Next, let's talk about how to deal with it. But before that, everyone needs to talk about the situation of each company first, and then discuss the countermeasures."

This is Lu Shaohua's habit. He brings up the problem for discussion. Who knows, the people below may be able to come up with some good solutions. As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang!

But before that, reporting the current situation is still of utmost importance. Xu Jiarui stepped forward. He is the general manager of Phoenix Sales and has a more comprehensive understanding of the situation. It is appropriate for him to be the first spokesperson.

"According to the current situation, their offensive is very fierce. Not only do they want to engage in a price war with us, they also use the media to discredit our group. In addition, they have contacted our agents, hoping that the agents will stop representing our Phoenix Group's products, so as to reduce the sales area of ​​our group's products in the market." Xu Jiarui told the general situation at once, which was probably the method used by the enemy.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua nodded, then asked Xu Jiarui, "So what happened to our agents? Has anyone terminated their agency?"

Agency is a fatal point and also a weak point of Phoenix Group. If an agent terminates the agency of Phoenix Group's products, there may be a vacancy period in a short period of time, which is enough for competitors to occupy market share.

This problem is very serious, so Lu Shaohua asked whether any agent had terminated the agency.

"Yes. So far, thirteen agents around the world have terminated their contracts with us. Well, it's just at the negotiation stage now. They seem to want to resolve the issue peacefully with us through negotiation." Xu Jiarui replied.

"Don't even think about it. When you go back, tell those agents that it's impossible to terminate the contract at this time unless they unilaterally break the contract. Also, if someone breaks the contract, we will sue them in court and we will claim compensation. Anyway, the liquidated damages in the contract are very high, a considerable sum of money." Lu Shaohua gave the order directly, and then added one more sentence. "Also, if someone breaks the contract, we will send an agent invitation to that area. We will quickly replace them to prevent vacancies in that area and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage. Also, we will announce that those agents who broke the contract will be blacklisted and will never be given the right to represent Phoenix Group products."

Lu Shaohua was very annoyed. Thinking back to when Phoenix Group released the agency rights, those companies rushed over like cats smelling blood. But now, as soon as they were bribed, they wanted to withdraw, and they wanted to break up peacefully. Their wishful thinking was quite sound.

"Okay, let's put this matter aside and continue talking about the situation." Lu Shaohua stopped talking about the agent and got straight to the point.
