Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 987: Prelude to Layout

Ho Ying-tung came, Li Ka-shing came, and Xiang Huaqiang came as well. More than a dozen important figures from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce arrived at Lu Shaohua's villa one by one, making the originally quiet villa bustling with activity. As the host, Lu Shaohua naturally had to exchange some courtesies with them.

As for words of thanks, although Lu Shaohua had said it on the phone, at this moment, Lu Shaohua said it again, which could be regarded as a face-to-face thank you.

Since Lu Shaohua had not fully recovered yet, he did not drink alcohol or treat everyone to a meal, otherwise it would have been considered a banquet. However, even so, there were still some snacks, and it felt more like a party.

"I know that you are actually short of funds, so Phoenix Group will not lend you money for too long. If fast, we will return it tomorrow. If slow, it will be within three days." Lu Shaohua said in a light tone with sincerity on his face.

Lu Shaohua is not a fool. This time, Ho Ying-tung and his men have tried their best to help Phoenix Group and have withdrawn all the funds from their company. Now, seeing that so much time has passed, their own company is also facing financial difficulties.

"There's no need to worry. Everyone has taken out loans from banks, so there will be no problem getting through this difficult time." Ho Ying-tung said on behalf of everyone.

How could Lu Shaohua not know that Ho Ying-tung and others had already borrowed money from the bank? It was precisely because they had borrowed money from the bank that Lu Shaohua could not delay. After all, if the bank loan was not repaid for one day, the interest would be charged every day. Although the interest was not much, a small amount of money was still money.

"Don't worry, I'm back. There won't be any problem with Phoenix Group's funds. I'll pay everyone back and there will be some left over." Lu Shaohua waved his hand, obviously rejecting the proposal to postpone the repayment.

Lu Shaohua had said so much, so naturally Huo Yingdong and the others would not say anything more. They all smiled and kept silent.

……

……

Everyone left, but one person stayed behind, and that person was Weng Wende. Weng Wende originally wanted to go with everyone else, but Lu Shaohua stopped him and asked him to stay.

Sitting on the sofa, Lu Shaohua's face lost its usual smile, and was full of seriousness. He closed his eyes and rested for a long time without speaking. Weng Wende was the same, he did not speak either, and the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became solemn.

This atmosphere lasted for about twenty minutes before Lu Shaohua opened his eyes and glanced at Weng Wende. Seeing that he looked calm, Lu Shaohua spoke. "Brother Wende, I won't say more. If it weren't for your 400 million yuan, I'm afraid the group would be in a bit of a crisis."

Yes, it is just a little danger, not a real danger. After all, in an emergency, Qin Sichen can use the reserves of Phoenix Bank and the money from the Tiger Roar Base, which will prevent the Phoenix Group from really going bankrupt.

"Don't say such things. I know the group still has money, it's just useful and inconvenient to take it out. And my property is basically nothing. Even if it is taken back by the bank in the end, as long as the Phoenix Group does not collapse, I will have a day to make a comeback." Weng Wende said confidently.

Weng Wende knew Lu Shaohua too well and knew that Lu Shaohua could not be without a backup plan. The reason why Phoenix Group was passive everywhere this time seemed to be due to a funding gap, but in fact, Phoenix Group had plenty of money, it was just that Qin Sichen did not use it.

As for Weng Wende, he knew very well that even if the Phoenix Group went bankrupt in the end, as long as Lu Shaohua was not dead, he, Weng Wende, would make a comeback sooner or later.

"..." Lu Shaohua smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't say much at the moment, but changed the subject. "Tomorrow I will give you 500 million RMB. You should pay off the bank loan first. As for the rest, you'd better use the Zeng family's connections to see if you can get an interest-free or low-interest loan. If you can, lend as much as possible."

After finishing his speech, Lu Shaohua paused for a moment and continued, "This is a super big operation. The more money you have, the more money you can make in the end. There are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in the financial market. How much money you can make in the end depends on how many chips you have."

Lu Shaohua's words were very clear. The action was coming, and he asked Weng Wende to do everything he could to get money, the more the better.

"Hundreds of trillions of dollars?" Weng Wende asked, his mouth wide open, enough to swallow an egg. "Is it that big?"

You can't blame Weng Wende for his ignorance, because in his opinion, money in the financial market is easy to make, but it is so easy to make money when there are hundreds of trillions of dollars in the financial market, so the storm must be extremely big. Weng Wende has never seen such a big financial storm in his life.

"Sweeping the world, do you think it's a big deal?" Lu Shaohua asked back.

"..." This time Weng Wende didn't say a word. He stared at Lu Shaohua blankly. It was obvious from his expression that he couldn't accept it at all.

Lu Shaohua didn't care whether Weng Wende could accept it or not. He just waved his hand and said lightly, "Try every possible way to make money. This is related to how much you will earn in the end. Well, time is also urgent. There are only three or four months left."

"I'll be back right away."

"Ah."

……

Weng Wende returned to China in a hurry, but Lu Shaohua was not idle. After a day's rest, Lu Shaohua finally took action again. Lu Shaohua summoned Liu Mingzhang and others to start reviewing the plan.

Originally, Lu Shaohua planned to review the plan after the Spring Festival in 2007, but Lu Shaohua was shot on the second day of the Chinese New Year, so it has been delayed until now. Fortunately, the time is not too long and it does not affect the plan.

After Liu Mingzhang and the others arrived, they naturally greeted Lu Shaohua and showed concern for his health. Only after Lu Shaohua said he was fine did they find a seat and sit down. It was obvious that they were waiting for Lu Shaohua to get to the point.

Lu Shaohua did not let Liu Mingzhang and the others wait any longer, but the topic Lu Shaohua introduced was not about the plan for the financial crisis, but about the issue of money. "Tomorrow, the group's account will receive 500 billion US dollars. Mingzhang, you can take as much as you borrowed from the group this time. And the traders below, return all the money you borrowed from the group."

The financial crisis is coming, and this time, as in the past, Lu Shaohua will not restrict the traders under him from participating privately. It is precisely because Lu Shaohua will not restrict the participation of his traders that Lu Shaohua is anxious to return the money to others.

It is true that he works for Phoenix Financial, a subsidiary of Phoenix Group, but Lu Shaohua is also a human being, an ordinary person. He naturally knows the importance of making money to everyone. However, the traders under him have lent most of the money to the group, and they don’t have much money left.

If they did not have much money left, it would inevitably affect their participation in this financial crisis. If Lu Shaohua did not return the money, he would be blocking other people's financial path. Both publicly and privately, Lu Shaohua would not allow himself to do so.

Liu Mingzhang seemed to understand what Lu Shaohua meant, so he didn't say much, just nodded to show that he understood, and replied, "I'll get it done."

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua also nodded, and then said, "Okay, let's talk about the plan. Did you bring the plan with you?"

"Yes." Liu Mingzhang responded, and then took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase. Obviously, it was the plan for this financial crisis.

There was a stack of documents, all filled with words. Lu Shaohua naturally didn't have the energy to read them carefully, but it was okay to take a quick look. So Lu Shaohua glanced through all the documents one by one. After he had a general understanding of the plan, he put it down.

"In general, there is no problem with your plan, but it is only in general because the details of the plan are not detailed enough." After a pause, Lu Shaohua added, "This operation is a big one, so big that we have never encountered it before, and it covers a wide range. But precisely because of this, we have to make the details more detailed, otherwise when we take action, we may forget a link."

Complex, yes, Lu Shaohua could fully imagine that once the financial crisis broke out, the situation would be very complicated. If the details were not written into the plan, some links might be forgotten at that time. Once a link was forgotten, the consequences were self-evident. In serious cases, it would affect the overall plan, and in minor cases, it would result in a lot of money lost.

Liu Mingzhang and his colleagues seemed to be aware of this, knowing that the outbreak of a global financial crisis was absolutely unimaginable. Not to mention that there would be many traders involved, even if there were not many, a group of traders would be responsible for several operations. If the details were not detailed, chaos would only happen sooner or later.

"We don't have much time, but it won't have any impact on the details. We can just make the layout and fill in the gaps at the same time." Lu Shaohua finally came up with a compromise.

In fact, this method can only be regarded as a helpless method, because Lu Shaohua no longer has much time for Liu Mingzhang and others to concentrate on modifying the plan.

Liu Mingzhang and the others also knew that they didn't have much time left, so they didn't say much. They just nodded and indicated that they would use this time to fill in the details.

Seeing Liu Mingzhang and the others nod, Lu Shaohua made the final decision and said, "Let's follow the plan. Well, I will give you detailed data and dates in two days. You should think about it carefully and make changes as soon as possible if there are any that need to be modified."

Lu Shaohua had been in a coma for more than half a month, so he had no time to get the data on the financial crisis. Now that he has finally woken up, the layout can begin. Lu Shaohua can only take the time to get the data and hand it over to Liu Mingzhang and others.

"Ok."
