Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 929: Entering the Oil Field

Oil and gold futures themselves belong to the category of finance, but Phoenix Financial Corporation itself has a lot of business, and there are two persons in charge of Phoenix Financial who appear in public, namely Li Yunqing, the direct person in charge, and Liu Mingzhang, the general person in charge.

How can two persons in charge take care of so many things? First, Li Yunqing is responsible for the daily affairs of Phoenix Financial and Hong Kong's finance, while Liu Mingzhang leads a team to take charge of overseas affairs. They do not have a fixed point and fight all over the country.

As for another giant, Li Zongen, he is even simpler. He does not participate in the affairs of Phoenix Financial. He manages offshore companies and fights in the dark. He does not appear in public directly. In addition, Li Zongen is also responsible for an industry, which is Toyota Motor.

Speaking of Toyota Motor, this company is already a subsidiary of Phoenix Automobile Company, but only in name. It has not been actually incorporated, but kept secret and not announced to the public.

It can be said that the three giants of Phoenix Financial Company each have their own things to do, and Lu Shaohua has to get involved in the two major futures of oil and gold, which adds to the workload. In the past period of time, Liu Mingzhang and others were struggling to hold on, and now they have held on for such a long time, so Lu Shaohua must take the initiative to reduce the pressure on them.

In fact, Lu Shaohua had long planned to reduce the pressure on Liu Mingzhang and others, but he was too busy in the past few years. He was either developing industries or planning for the future. Later, the Morgan Consortium attacked. How could Lu Shaohua have the energy to reduce the pressure on Liu Mingzhang and others?

Now that oil futures have just happened to be involved, Lu Shaohua might as well just deal with this matter so that he can have some free time without having to worry about it all the time.

……

As time went by, the turmoil brought to Phoenix Group by the Morgan Consortium finally subsided slowly. Everything in Phoenix Group returned to normal. It was quietly consolidating the market share it had seized and developing rapidly.

However, Lu Shaohua was not very satisfied with that speed of development. In the eyes of outsiders, it was already a very fast development speed, but Lu Shaohua did not think so. Lu Shaohua felt that it was still a bit slow.

Therefore, Lu Shaohua once again invested in accelerating the development, and this time the investment reached 100 billion US dollars. This 100 billion US dollars was a combination of more than 20 billion obtained from the Morgan Consortium in the financial market and more than 80 billion remaining.

Lu Shaohua had almost no interest in keeping any money. He waved his hand and gave Liu Mingzhang an order. Then the 100 billion US dollars was divided up and transferred to the accounts of various subsidiaries. As for how the subsidiaries spent the money, it was not Lu Shaohua's business.

In Phoenix Group, an eternal rule has been formed, that is, the boss does not take care of trivial matters, and trivial matters are managed by the executive president. This is indeed the case. Lu Shaohua is only responsible for the general development direction, while all internal affairs are placed on Qin Sichen alone.

It can be said that in the Phoenix Group in Hong Kong, apart from Lu Shaohua who has the highest status, the next highest status is Qin Sichen, who holds the greatest power.

But then again, although Qin Sichen was powerful, he did not abuse his power for personal gain. After all, in Qin Sichen's opinion, Phoenix Group was his own family, and he had always worked hard for his own group.

Perhaps it was because he felt that Qin Sichen had been working hard that Lu Shaohua felt at ease to hand over the Phoenix Group to her. Otherwise, with Lu Shaohua's personality, it would be impossible for Qin Sichen to hold such great power.

Those who want to accomplish great things must have a strong mind, otherwise the foundation they have finally built may cause chaos like a family business. This can be seen from the Huo Group. Although the Huo Group is very powerful, there are many insects inside the group.

If Huo Yingdong had not listened to Lu Shaohua's advice and made up his mind to eliminate the insects, I am afraid that the Huo Cuo Group would have disappeared in the long river of history a few years later.

Just imagine that in a company, because of personal connections, any relative can get in and take up a managerial position. Not only do they have no ability, but they also rely on their relatives to do whatever they want within the company and fail to abide by the rules. Over time, won't the company be in chaos?

But someone like Lu Shaohua, who owns a powerful Phoenix Group but does not have many relatives in it, has a very simple reason: few of Lu Shaohua's relatives meet the talent requirements of the Phoenix Group.

If Lu Shaohua had not been ruthless enough to follow the procedure, all the gossipy women in his hometown would have pushed their sons and daughters into the Phoenix Group. In that case, it is very likely that someone would rely on their relationship with Lu Shaohua to bully others in the group.

Of course, someone would scold Lu Shaohua for doing this, but Lu Shaohua didn't mind. Think about his previous life. Lu Shaohua did not reincarnate, and his family lived in poverty, but not a single relative helped him. Why was that?

Needless to say, those people are snobbish. Even if you want to borrow money from them, they are unwilling to lend. In this life, Lu Shaohua was reborn and became rich. Why did those relatives desperately try to get close to him? The reason is also very simple. They are snobbish and want to get benefits from it.

There must be something hateful about pitiful people. Lu Shaohua had seen through this a long time ago. Why do people with more difficult lives have more difficulties? They also have two hands, but their lives are more miserable than others. It's because they are lazy and just want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.

It was because Lu Shaohua saw through all kinds of life that he became determined after his rebirth. He would help those who deserve his help, but would turn a blind eye to those who did not deserve his help and show his ruthless side.

That’s right, it’s Yin La, ruthless and heartless.

This ruthlessness covers a wide range of aspects, including Qin Si Chen. If Qin Si Chen abuses her power for personal gain, Lu Shaohua will not be polite even if Qin Si Chen is his woman.

Fortunately, Qin Sichen worked hard, which made Lu Shaohua feel at ease. In addition, Qin Sichen was very capable and managed the Phoenix Group in an orderly manner, which made Lu Shaohua sleep with a smile.

It is also because of Qin Sichen's strong ability that Phoenix Group has reached its current scale and has its current speed of development. Just look, with Lu Shaohua investing 100 billion US dollars, I believe it won't be long before Phoenix Group will take a small step forward.

However, before this, Qin Sichen also told Lu Shaohua that of the new investment of US$100 billion, US$30 billion would be invested in Phoenix Supermarket to accelerate its development.

Phoenix Supermarket, after its collision with Carrefour, has now become a retail giant, but it is only a retail giant in name only, with great temperament but no real foundation. If it wants to truly become a retail giant, it still has a long way to go.

Opening branches and continuously opening more branches is the most direct way to expand the foundation, and Phoenix Supermarket is doing so. Under Qin Sichen's orders and with Lu Shaohua's 30 billion US dollars in funding support, Phoenix Supermarket is growing and becoming stronger.

Phoenix Supermarket is growing and becoming stronger, but so is Phoenix Petroleum. Today's Phoenix Petroleum is no longer what it used to be. In the past, Phoenix Petroleum was just a shell company that only acted as an agent.

But now it is different. After taking over half of the oil industry under the Rockefeller Foundation, Phoenix Petroleum has become a real oil company. It has also formed a cooperative relationship with the second prince's oil company, and crude oil is flowing in continuously.

Yes, at this time, Lu Shaohua finally stretched out his claws and began to invade the oil field.

In fact, when taking over half of the Rockefeller Consortium's oil industry, Lu Shaohua was considering whether to continue cooperating with other oil companies as before and only act as an agent. But after thinking about it, Lu Shaohua decided to do it on his own and began to invade the oil field.

Now it is 2001, the st century, an era of rapid economic development. If Lu Shaohua does not enter the oil industry, it may be detrimental to his future plans.

Controlling oil is not just about controlling oil fields and the amount of crude oil input. Lu Shaohua wants all-round control, including the oil in the market. Lu Shaohua also wants to control it. And to control it, it is imperative to intervene in the oil industry.

So, Lu Shaohua entered at this time and invested a large amount of money, intending to grow rapidly.

Fifty billion dollars? Oh! No, five billion dollars is too little to get involved in the oil industry. Lu Shaohua's original plan was to invest one hundred billion dollars, but because he couldn't come up with that much money at once, Lu Shaohua could only settle for the next best thing and invest in installments.

The first investment was 20 billion US dollars. These 20 billion US dollars were not taken from the 100 billion US dollars, but from the Morgan Consortium.

The Morgan Consortium had 30 billion US dollars in the oil futures market, of which 25 billion US dollars were swallowed up by Liu Mingzhang and his group. Excluding the bonuses of the traders, there were more than 22 billion US dollars left. Lu Shaohua deducted the decimal and invested the exact 200 million US dollars into Phoenix Petroleum.

Whether it is a dragon or a worm depends on the person in charge of Phoenix Petroleum.

Indeed, a person in power is very important, and it determines the direction and speed of development. Phoenix Petroleum is now just a little higher than its starting point. If the person in power cannot steer the ship well, the development of Phoenix Petroleum will inevitably be hindered.

And if that situation occurs, Lu Shaohua doesn't mind changing the person in power.

As a popular saying goes: Phoenix Group does not want to waste talents. If there are any wastes, they should be put on the bed immediately and be ready to pack up and leave.

Look, isn’t Lu Shaohua undergoing the test?

Lu Shaohua gave a month. If he could not see any further data of Phoenix Petroleum after a month, then the person in charge of Phoenix Petroleum would have only one way to go, that is to leave Phoenix Group.

And if Lu Shaohua can see your improved results after a month, then you are very lucky, as you have officially become a core executive of Phoenix Group.
