Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 908: Wishful Thinking

Lu Shaohua opened the encrypted file with a relaxed mood, but at a glance, Lu Shaohua was stunned. It was not because the information in the file concealed a huge secret, but the content of the file was so shocking. If Lu Shaohua did not think that Li Zhijie would not make a spoof on the intelligence file, Lu Shaohua would have wondered if Li Zhijie was making a spoof.

The content of the document only had two big words at the beginning: Top Secret.

Then comes the content. Rourong's general meaning is: Because the Morgan Consortium has paid a huge price to win over allies, it is now short of funds.

It's just a paragraph like this. Okay, this paragraph is describing the current situation of the Morgan Consortium, but the two big words above and this paragraph took up a whole A4 paper. Also, the typeface looks awkward no matter how you look at it. What else could this be but a spoof?

However, Lu Shaohua, who knew Li Zhijie well, did not think that Li Zhijie would make a spoof. But this was really a little unacceptable to Lu Shaohua, so Lu Shaohua was stunned when his eyes came into contact with the content.

He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, but no matter what, Lu Shaohua couldn't do it. He couldn't calm down. Finally, Lu Shaohua could only look away, pour a bottle of red wine and drink it, and smoke a cigarette. Only then did he feel much better and calm down, and then he began to analyze the contents of the intelligence.

Intelligence shows that the Morgan Consortium has paid a huge price to recruit allies everywhere. What does this mean?

The answer quickly formed in Lu Shaohua's mind. It should be that the Morgan Consortium would compensate the losses of those allies who fought a price war with Phoenix Group. This made those people stand together and dare to fight against Phoenix Group.

The more Lu Shaohua thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, because at this moment, Lu Shaohua suddenly remembered something about Phoenix Supermarket. According to the person in charge of Phoenix Supermarket in Hong Kong, Carrefour Supermarket will have special offers in the next week.

Yes, it is a week, and the scope of Carrefour's special price promotion is global, not in specific locations. As we all know, special price promotion is a marketing strategy of supermarkets, which is to attract customers.

Although only a portion of the products were on sale, and many products were not on sale, the majority of the people who came to buy bought the discounted products, while the minority bought the products that were not on sale.

If you calculate it this way, every time a special price is offered, at best the company can just break even, with no loss or profit. But this is only a few exceptions, as most companies are still losing money. Since they will lose money, Carrefour cannot afford it given its current situation. After all, there are hundreds of Carrefour supermarkets around the world offering special prices.

With such a loss, Lu Shaohua didn’t believe that Carrefour’s headquarters had the courage to do so!

Well, there is only one answer, that is, it will not hurt Carrefour's foundation at all. Someone is helping them to pay for their losses, and this bill is paid by the Morgan consortium.

From this, it can be seen that the Morgan Consortium is determined to go against Lu Shaohua at all costs, even if it means losses.

However, Lu Shaohua knew that no one in the Morgan family was a fool. If they just wanted revenge, they would not rush over at all costs. They rushed over now, so there must be a purpose, right?

For what purpose?

Lu Shaohua racked his brains and thought desperately. Finally, Lu Shaohua and Zhang Xintiandi came up with a reasonable explanation, which was that the Morgan Consortium had taken a fancy to the Phoenix Group and wanted to take it over.

Just imagine, if the Morgan Consortium's plan for Phoenix Group succeeded, then Phoenix Group would inevitably face a huge crisis in its industrial sector and face the possibility of bankruptcy. Since it would go bankrupt, according to normal business logic, Phoenix Group should sell those subsidiaries.

If the normal procedure were to follow, Phoenix Group would really sell its subsidiaries at that time. Once the price was put up for sale, then the Morgan Consortium's opportunity would come and they could spend some money to buy the subsidiaries of Phoenix Group.

Suppose the Morgan Consortium bought a subsidiary of Phoenix Group, and they asked their allies to stop attacking, what would be the result? A three-year-old child knows that by that time, the subsidiary of Phoenix Group will be revived and its original market value will be restored.

This is a highly profitable deal. If the Morgan consortium succeeds, they will be able to recover all the costs they paid and make a huge profit.

This was the result of Lu Shaohua's analysis. However, the Morgan Consortium obviously did not know much about the Phoenix Group. They underestimated the strength of the Phoenix Group and did not understand Lu Shaohua's character. If the Phoenix Group went bankrupt one day, Lu Shaohua would not sell it to the Morgan Consortium even if he set fire to the Phoenix production base.

What's more, the strength of Phoenix Group is far beyond what their Morgan Consortium can compare to. If they fight a war of attrition with Phoenix Group, they will be courting death, because Phoenix Group's capital chain is too strong. Even if this war of attrition is fought for a year or two, Phoenix Group can still stand on the earth.

In addition, the Morgan Consortium underestimated the strength behind Lu Shaohua. A Tiger Roar Base is as solid as Mount Tai. Once Lu Shaohua mobilizes the power of the Tiger Roar Base, even ten Morgan Consortiums will not be Lu Shaohua's match.

Therefore, from the very beginning of this battle, the Morgan Consortium was already at a disadvantage. It was only because Lu Shaohua wanted to compete with the Morgan Consortium in the business world and did not want to use armed force that the Morgan Consortium gained the upper hand.

"That's a good plan."

After figuring everything out, Lu Shaohua couldn't help but secretly admire the Morgan Consortium. It was undeniable that such a plan was very good. Of course, there was a prerequisite, that is, if the opponent was not Lu Shaohua, perhaps the Morgan Consortium might still have a chance of success, but when it met Lu Shaohua, there was no chance of success at all.

On the contrary, it was the Morgan Consortium's "long-term investment" that put itself in a difficult situation. Oh, no, it cannot be described as a difficult situation, it should be described as an irreversible situation.

If one had to use an animal to describe Lu Shaohua at this moment, then only one animal could be used, and that animal is the wolf. Yes, it is a wolf, that ferocious prairie wolf, a wolf that has been hungry for more than ten days and is looking for prey everywhere.

A hungry wolf is the most terrifying because it may pounce on you and bite you at any time, and this bite is definitely fatal.

Lu Shaohua is a hungry prairie wolf, and the Morgan Consortium is the prey, well, a wounded prey at that.

Yes, the Morgan Consortium has been hurt because they have problems with their funding. If Lu Shaohua, like a hungry prairie wolf, pounces on them and bites them hard, it will definitely be fatal to the Morgan Consortium.

If they hit the vital point, they might even kill the Morgan Consortium.

However, the probability of that happening is too low. Lu Shaohua knows very well that the Morgan Consortium is the largest creditor of many countries, especially the United States. Many national debts are in the hands of the Morgan Consortium. If the Morgan Consortium encounters a crisis, the US government will help.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to completely defeat the Morgan Consortium, especially at this time.

Lu Shaohua had to wait, waiting for the opportunity to come. Only then could he deal a fatal blow to the Morgan Consortium and completely destroy it.

Lu Shaohua knew very well that it was impossible to completely eliminate the Morgan Consortium now, so he stopped thinking about it. What he had to think about now was how to deal with the Morgan Consortium and get the Phoenix Group out of the crisis. This was the most important thing.

Lu Shaohua drank half a glass of red wine in one gulp, lit a cigarette, concentrated his attention, and started reading the intelligence again.

However, Lu Shaohua did not look at the information below, but stared at the first page of information. It seemed that he was studying the information on the first page of information. But the first page of information only had a few words. What was there worth Lu Shaohua's study?

No, don't underestimate that line of words. The content contained in this line of words is very rich. Not only does the line of words reveal the crisis of the Morgan Consortium, but it also lists the reasons. This is worthy of Lu Shaohua's special attention.

Of course, research is secondary. The main thing is that when Lu Shaohua looked at this line of words, he was thinking in his mind how to use this crisis of the Morgan Consortium to teach them a lesson. This is why Lu Shaohua studied the content of this line of words.

Many times, when reading documents, Lu Shaohua often only looks at the general meaning and does not read the entire content. This is a shortcoming, and Lu Shaohua is well aware of this shortcoming. Therefore, when encountering a very important document, Lu Shaohua will read it several times in a row. This is a habit.

Obviously, this intelligence document is very important, extremely important. Lu Shaohua is afraid of missing some information if he doesn't read it several times, which may lead to unpredictable consequences.

Finally, Lu Shaohua read it five times before he was finally sure that there was nothing missing. Lu Shaohua closed his eyes and thought for a while, deducing the plan in his mind, and then continued to turn to the next page, intending to read the information below.

But Lu Shaohua was disappointed. Although the following intelligence had some value, it was not as good as the first top-secret intelligence. They were all intelligence about industrial companies under the Morgan Consortium, including General Motors. A lot of intelligence was collected, but it was all about the defects of General Motors.

In the end, Lu Shaohua simply stopped reading it, closed the file, and deleted it directly. Then he leaned back in his boss chair, turned around, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought again.

Don't get me wrong, Lu Shaohua is not thinking about boring things there. Lu Shaohua has no time to think about other things at the moment. His mind is full of the plan for which he has just built a general framework.

"It's time to perfect this plan." Lu Shaohua muttered to himself.
