Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 942 Game

The farce was finally over, and Phoenix Group returned to its former self. However, since its reputation had been damaged, it needed more publicity to recover. To this end, Lu Shaohua did not hesitate to invest heavily in repairing the reputation of Phoenix Group, such as donating to certain charities, building more Hope Primary Schools in certain places, and other things that could restore its image.

But then again, this incident has had some impact on the reputation of Phoenix Group, but it is not very serious. It is mainly because the reputation of Phoenix Group has been damaged passively, not because Phoenix Group has done anything excessive that has caused its reputation to be damaged.

Lu Shaohua could have used time to slowly repair this passive damage, but he did not do so. Instead, he invested heavily to repair his damaged reputation. Lu Shaohua did this for two reasons. The first reason is already known, which is to repair the reputation of Phoenix Group. The second reason is that Lu Shaohua believes that charity is necessary.

Take from the people and give back to the people! The reason why Phoenix Group has grown to its current size is that consumers buy a large part of the products produced by Phoenix Group. Therefore, it is time for Lu Shaohua to give back to the society.

To this end, Lu Shaohua specially established a fund within the group. This fund is not open to the public and only supports the Phoenix Group. The main funds come from donations from employees and group companies within the Phoenix Group.

Don't underestimate the employees within the Phoenix Group. None of the people who can enter the Phoenix Group are simple. They are the elites among the elites in the society. Since they are the elites among the elites, their abilities are naturally needless to say.

If you have the ability, you can earn more money. Therefore, the salary of Phoenix Group is very high. With high salary, the employees are rich. Not all of them are millionaires or billionaires, but six-digit deposits are very common among the employees of Phoenix Group.

Now that Phoenix Group has established an internal fund, those people will naturally not be stingy and have donated some money. It is with this little money that the base's funds have reached eight figures, almost nine figures, in just a few days.

This does not include the money from the group company. If it were included, the amount would have exceeded nine digits. However, even if the money from the group company was not included, the amount still exceeded nine digits in the end. The reason for the breakthrough was because of the senior executives of Phoenix Group.

The executives of Phoenix Group were the last group to donate money and property. They are all billionaires, and donating hundreds of thousands of dollars is just a drop in the bucket of their total assets, which does not pose any pressure on them.

Especially for people like Liu Mingzhang and Li Yunqing who are at the top of Phoenix Group, their assets are measured in hundreds of billions of US dollars, so naturally the money they donated will not be small.

According to subsequent registration, the person who donated the most money was Liu Mingzhang, who donated a total of 20 million yuan. The next one was Li Yunqing's Li Zongen, who also donated a lot, with each donating 18 million yuan.

The amount donated by the three giants of Phoenix Financial has exceeded 50 million RMB. When the donations from ordinary employees and some senior executives are taken into account, it becomes a matter of course to exceed 100 million RMB.

As the boss of Phoenix Group, Lu Shaohua naturally could not lose to his employees. With a wave of his hand, Lu Shaohua donated 500 million yuan into the base's account, making him the person who donated the most.

This is the amount donated by an individual. If it is counted as the donation from the group company, then the money donated by Lu Shaohua this time will be as much as 1 billion RMB, because the money donated in the name of the group company is the same as the money donated by Lu Shaohua, both are 500 million RMB.

Tens of billions of RMB, that's a lot of charity that can be done with that much money.

However, Lu Shaohua also announced that this was only the first phase, and there would be second, third, and fourth phases. As soon as the news spread, the outside world reacted in an uproar, not for anything else but because of the huge number.

Lu Shaohua's name suddenly appeared in the public eye again, but this time it was not his legendary story that appeared, but his generosity and his love. The title of charity king fell on Lu Shaohua's head.

Looking around the world, there are not many people who can donate 1 billion RMB to charity like Lu Shaohua did. It seems that Lu Shaohua will continue his charity work. The outside world cannot predict how much Lu Shaohua will donate next time.

But everyone knows that the amount of money Lu Shaohua will donate next time will probably not be less than this time. The lowest level will remain unchanged at 1 billion RMB.

However, for Lu Shaohua, charity work is just a small episode. Developing the Phoenix Group is the foundation, especially the oil company under the Phoenix Group. Lu Shaohua has listed it as a key development target.

Lu Shaohua paid tens of billions of dollars to take over half of the Rockefeller Consortium's oil industry, but it was definitely worth it because that half of the oil industry covered a huge share. Even if the Rockefeller Consortium kept the most profitable half, that half cannot be underestimated.

Lu Shaohua invested huge amounts of money to develop the oil company, recruited a large number of people, and tried to develop the oil industry he had taken over as quickly as possible.

Lu Shaohua also did it. After a period of familiarity, he finally took over the Rockefeller Group's half of the oil industry. Note that this refers to full acceptance, not just superficial acceptance.

As we all know, when you acquire a brand new company, you know nothing about it, so it takes a lot of time to familiarize yourself with its business and operating procedures. Phoenix Petroleum has now taken over the company in full, which means it is already familiar with the business and operating procedures of the oil industry.

It has been fully taken over, and with the huge amount of funds allocated by Lu Shaohua and cooperation with the Saudi Arabian Royal Oil Company, it is not difficult to develop. But before that, Lu Shaohua still has one thing to do, which is about the oil industry in Asia.

That's right, it's the oil industry in Asia. In the past, Phoenix Petroleum occupied most of the market share in Asia, but those were just the cooperation between Phoenix Petroleum and other oil companies. At the beginning, it cooperated with Royal Dutch Shell. Later, Royal Dutch Shell tried to get rid of Phoenix Petroleum and monopolize the Asian oil market share.

However, he was severely punished by Lu Shaohua, and after that incident, the cooperation between Phoenix Petroleum and Royal Dutch Shell was terminated.

Soon after, several major international oil giants, fearing that Phoenix Group would invade the oil field, came to cooperate with Phoenix Petroleum, and thus, a new company formed by the four major companies was officially established.

That’s right, it was a cooperative relationship, and Phoenix Petroleum’s role in it was just that of an agent. Although this agent held a lot of shares in the company, Lu Shaohua was still not satisfied.

What Lu Shaohua wants is full control rather than cooperating with others to share the big pie of the Asian oil market. Even before, Lu Shaohua had no plans to enter the oil field, but now it is different. After taking over half of the Rockefeller Consortium's oil industry, Phoenix Group has announced that it has officially entered the oil field.

Now that he has officially entered the oil field, how could Lu Shaohua possibly share the big pie of the Asian market with others?

Termination of cooperation was an issue that Lu Shaohua had been eager to resolve. Fortunately, the cooperation contract signed by the four companies had expired, so termination of cooperation was not considered a breach of contract.

The cooperation was terminated, but those three companies were originally there to restrict Phoenix Petroleum from entering the oil field. Now, seeing that they are about to enter the oil field, how can they be willing to accept this?

So, the three companies joined forces and planned to establish a new oil company in Asia to compete with Phoenix Petroleum.

When Lu Shaohua received the news, he just smiled, a smile that was directed at his opponent being too stupid and naive.

Royal Dutch Shell did the same thing in the past. After getting rid of Phoenix Petroleum, it wanted to gain market share in Asia and compete with Phoenix Petroleum. But what was the result? Royal Dutch Shell was defeated.

It is no exaggeration to say that in Asia, Phoenix Group is the sky and the earth. In this small piece of land, no company dares to challenge Phoenix Group. Now, the three oil companies are standing opposite to Phoenix Group.

Lu Shaohua couldn't help but admire their courage to challenge the Phoenix Group, but thinking about it, it was also somewhat in line with normalcy. Those three oil companies were all large international oil companies, and there were even more powerful forces supporting them behind them. It was understandable that they dared to challenge the Phoenix Group.

However, they forgot the background of Royal Dutch Petroleum, which was a company jointly established by the Dutch government and the British royal family. Such a force is no match for Phoenix Petroleum. So, are those three oil companies rivals of Phoenix Petroleum?

People can have self-confidence, but excessive self-confidence is arrogance.

Lu Shaohua would never give face to arrogant people. He would hit them hard and make them go back to where they came from.

After a period of operation, the three oil companies that cooperated to fight against Phoenix Group finally tasted defeat and had to withdraw from the Asian market and return to their European market.

Those who dare to challenge Phoenix Group will never have a good ending. Although the three oil companies have been defeated, Lu Shaohua has no intention of letting them go. He ordered the European branch oil companies that had just been taken over to concentrate their forces to attack them and seize their market share.

The Rockefeller Consortium has been involved in the oil industry for many years and has stood firm until today. How could the foundation it has laid be simple? Even if what it gave to Lu Shaohua were some unimportant industries, they should not be underestimated. With the integration of Phoenix Petroleum and Lu Shaohua's capital injection, its strength is even greater than before.

Their strength is very strong, but after all, they are also the overlords in the oil field, and the war is being fought on their territory, so it is really unknown who will win in the end.
