Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 909: Money Headache

The Morgan Consortium had a wishful thinking, but unfortunately they did not understand the strength of Phoenix Group, nor did they understand Lu Shaohua's character. Even if Phoenix Group was defeated in the end, they would not be able to obtain the subsidiaries of Phoenix Group.

However, the problem is that Phoenix Group cannot be defeated, and Lu Shaohua cannot fall, because Lu Shaohua has already stood on the winning side before the battle even started.

Why do you say that?

The reason is very simple, because if at the last moment, Lu Shaohua cannot defeat the Morgan Consortium, Lu Shaohua can completely mobilize the armed forces of the Tiger Roar Base to destroy the entire Morgan Consortium. Although it will bring a lot of trouble to Lu Shaohua, if it comes to that, Lu Shaohua will have no choice.

But then again, unless it was absolutely necessary, Lu Shaohua would not choose to use the power of the Tiger Roar Base, because if Lu Shaohua used the power of the Tiger Roar Base, his last trump card would be exposed.

At this stage, it is necessary to maintain the necessary mystery. Lu Shaohua is not stupid enough to expose all his strength. That would be extremely disadvantageous for Lu Shaohua now or in the future.

Therefore, unless it comes to a life-and-death situation, Lu Shaohua will never mobilize the armed forces of the Tiger Roar Base on a large scale.

Fortunately, Lu Shaohua no longer needs to consider mobilizing the armed forces of the Tiger Roar Base, because Lu Shaohua already has the weapons of the Morgan Consortium in his hands. As long as Lu Shaohua has made arrangements, I believe the Morgan Consortium will evacuate on its own initiative.

The problem is none other than the Morgan Consortium's current shortage of funds.

Just imagine what it means for a consortium to be short of funds. This means that once they are attacked, they will be unable to fight back in a short period of time and the situation will become one-sided.

Yes, as long as Lu Shaohua mobilizes funds to attack the Morgan Consortium, the Morgan Consortium will be unable to resist Lu Shaohua's attack due to lack of funds. The situation will tilt towards Lu Shaohua, and Lu Shaohua will naturally become the winner.

Now that their own group is under attack, does the Morgan Consortium still have the mind to attack others at this time?

No, no matter who they are, they cannot do both at this time. At most, they can save one side. They can either continue to attack the Phoenix Group and give up defense, or defend and have no intention of participating in the attack on the Phoenix Group.

This move is similar to the indirect way of saving the country. Fortunately, Lu Shaohua is strong and can free up his hands to attack the Morgan Consortium while defending.

However, the question then arises: how to attack the Morgan consortium? Attack through finance? Or attack through industry?

This time, the Morgan Consortium really took a two-pronged approach, with strength as the main force, taking the lead, and finance as the supplement, attacking from the side, with the two working together.

In a situation like this, Lu Shaohua's response was to stay stable, hold out for a day or two, make preparations for a counterattack, and then launch a counterattack to regain lost ground and attack the enemy's base camp in one go.

It is an attack on the entire industrial sector. In Lu Shaohua's original plan, the financial sector was almost only on the defensive and did not participate in the attack. But in the current situation, it seems that the strategy has to be changed. Not only does finance have to come out, but finance also has to take the lead. As for the industrial sector, there is no need to mobilize, just defend.

It was turned upside down. Lu Shaohua turned the original strategy upside down. He changed the non-use strategy into use strategy and used it as the main force. He changed the use strategy into non-use strategy, only doing defense and not taking any action.

This reversal can be said to have overturned Lu Shaohua's original plan. It can also be said to have overturned the original plan and created a completely new plan.

Since it is a brand new plan, Lu Shaohua must plan it all over again.

How to plan?

First of all, one thing must be modified, and that is the defense time. Originally, Lu Shaohua asked the subsidiaries to hold on for three days. After three days, they would no longer need to defend and could counterattack. However, looking at the current situation, it seems that this approach is not feasible. Not only do they have to hold on for three days, but the time limit must be extended.

The reason for prolonging the time is very simple. Fighting a defensive battle can consume the opponent's financial resources and make the Morgan Consortium lose more. In that way, when Lu Shaohua counterattacks, even if they want to gather funds, it will be much slower, so they can attack for a longer period of time.

The Morgan Consortium is a treasure house. If you can capture this treasure house, the Golden Horn Jewels inside will be yours for Lu Shaohua to take. This is a good opportunity to make money. Lu Shaohua, who is very interested in making money, how can he miss such a good opportunity?

Well, back to the point, in addition to extending the time of holding out, another thing is to gather funds. Gather a considerable amount of funds to participate in the attack on the Morgan Consortium. Only in this way can we break into the treasure house of the Morgan Consortium.

Funds are a headache for Lu Shaohua at this stage. Originally, after the 9/11 U.S. stock market turmoil, Lu Shaohua attacked the U.S. stock market and made a lot of money, so there was no problem with funds.

But Lu Shaohua had a bad habit of allocating funds immediately, which resulted in a large amount of funds being allocated. Now there seems to be not much spare money left, only about 100 billion US dollars. In addition, 20 billion US dollars of the 100 billion US dollars were given to Phoenix Financial, and the remaining tens of billions of US dollars were gathered together and allocated to the subsidiaries to hold on.

It can be said that Lu Shaohua now has no spare money. If he wants to gather funds to attack the Morgan Consortium, he has to mobilize them from other places, such as the Tiger Roar Base, which is a place where Lu Shaohua can mobilize a large amount of funds.

However, Lu Shaohua had just given the money to Li Zhijie and others a few days ago, and only a few days later, he transferred money from them again. It seemed awkward, especially Li Zhijie's words: "The money was gone before it even got warm in my pocket", which made Lu Shaohua extremely ashamed.

It has happened several times. Several times, just a few days after the money was transferred to Africa, Lu Shaohua transferred money from them again. It was just as Li Zhijie said, the money was gone before it was even put to good use.

But there was no other way. For the sake of the overall situation, Lu Shaohua could only be transferred from Africa. Otherwise, how could Lu Shaohua defeat the Morgan Consortium? With his bare hands?

"Hey……"

Lu Shaohua sighed deeply and muttered to himself, "Fortunately, the money needed this time is not that much, so it should be easy to withdraw."

200 billion US dollars, Lu Shaohua only needs 200 billion US dollars to break through the Morgan Consortium.

Of course, this is just Lu Shaohua's estimate. As to whether it will exceed this number, Lu Shaohua has no idea. He needs to tell Liu Mingzhang and others about the situation, and then professionals like Liu Mingzhang will calculate it and finally confirm it.

"Hey……"

Lu Shaohua sighed again, not for anything else but because of the money. As a super-rich man with a net worth of trillions of dollars, he usually had hundreds of billions of dollars at his disposal. But this time, he had to ask Africa for help even for 20 billion dollars. How could Lu Shaohua not sigh?

But there was no way. The current situation was very critical. Although there was still money in the Phoenix Group's account, Lu Shaohua did not dare to move it, because Lu Shaohua was afraid that once the Phoenix Group's liquidity was lost, it might put the Phoenix Group into an irreversible situation.

"We can only transfer them from Africa." Lu Shaohua finally made the decision helplessly.

……

It was late at night, and the time had quietly reached midnight. Lu Shaohua had been thinking of calling Liu Mingzhang and the others, but then he gave up. After all, they had been busy all day because of the attack on Phoenix Bank's network system and the fierce attack from the Morgan Consortium, and they should have gone to bed by now.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Lu Shaohua secretly decided to wait until tomorrow to make arrangements.

Once I had made the decision in my mind, the next step became much simpler. I poured a glass of red wine and lit a cigarette, drinking and smoking at the same time, with no distractions in my mind and enjoying it immensely.

Indeed, the plan has been finalized, and the leader of the Morgan Consortium has been found. Lu Shaohua is no longer worried about being defeated in this battle, so naturally he doesn't have to think too much.

It’s true, smoking and drinking red wine is actually a wonderful enjoyment, especially when the mind is free of distractions, it makes one feel extremely relieved and happy. At least, at this moment, Lu Shaohua felt that the feeling was really good.

In this way, Lu Shaohua finished a bottle of red wine by himself, and the only remaining half pack of cigarettes was left with only an empty shell. After looking at the time, Lu Shaohua tidied up a little and walked towards Qin Sichen's room with light steps.

Usually, Lu Shaohua sleeps in Zeng Yuling's room, but today is different. It's not that Zeng Yuling is inconvenient, but Zeng Yuling has been very busy since she came to Hong Kong. It's already very late and Zeng Yuling has fallen asleep long ago. If Lu Shaohua returns to the room at this time, he will wake Zeng Yuling up.

Therefore, Lu Shaohua simply went to sleep in Qin Sichen's room. After all, although Qin Sichen was busy, she was busy for a long time and was very good at adjusting herself. It didn't matter whether she slept less or more. Lu Shaohua was not afraid of disturbing Qin Sichen.

What Lu Shaohua never expected was that when he carefully pushed open the door, the light in the room was on. It was obvious that Qin Sichen had not gone to bed yet.

What is Qin Sichen doing?

No need to ask, Qin Sichen is still busy dealing with the group's documents.

"What's the situation?" Qin Sichen saw Lu Shaohua coming in, calmed down and asked.

Qin Sichen knew that Lu Shaohua had entered the study, and he could probably guess what Lu Shaohua was doing there, so the first thing Qin Sichen asked was about the progress of the matter.

"There's no problem. We've caught the Morgan Consortium. With careful planning, we should be able to teach them a lesson." Lu Shaohua said nonchalantly.

Qin Sichen didn't say anything, but her expression said it all, she was very curious.
