Chapter 498: The Dark Side
The oil plan formulated by Lu Shaohua was launched as early as a few years ago, but the start was started, it was just an early preparation, and there was no real sailing, the purchase of oil fields and the storage of crude oil were only the bottom, and the core part has not really begun, and the establishment of Phoenix Petroleum means that the oil plan has set sail, and it also proves that Lu Shaohua's ultimate plan has officially begun.
The plan is long and short, Lu Shaohua's oil plan is a long-term plan, since it is a long-term plan, it means that it will take several years or even more than ten years to complete, in fact, Lu Shaohua's oil plan was formulated until 2010, and there has been no ending, and it continues continuously.
It's just that it's only 1995 now, and there are still 15 years before 2010, it's too long-term, plus Lu Shaohua is also crossing the river by feeling the stones, taking one step at a time, the plan only formulates a general outline, a main line, and other details are added with changes.
Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is the implementation at this stage, the establishment of Phoenix Oil, and the Royal Dutch Shell into cooperation, acting as an agent for their company's natural gas, gasoline and diesel, lubricants also purchased from their Royal Dutch Shell.
However, since it is a cooperation, both parties must have a free surname, and the last clause of the contract adds a date for the termination of the cooperation, which is five years later, that is, in 2000. This date was determined by the two sides after discussions, and it was also Lu Shaohua's opinion.
Lu Shaohua's oil plan has been formulated, and it is a matter of time before he operates independently, and after five years, how much crude oil can be stored in the Tiger Roar base, Lu Shaohua knows in his heart, and by that time, Lu Shaohua's crude oil reserves are enough for him to squander, and there is no need to act as an agent for Royal Dutch Shell.
And Royal Dutch Shell also thought very clearly, five years is enough time for them to expand their influence, and they agreed without any objection.
However, Lu Shaohua knows that there is another reason why the shareholders of Royal Dutch Shell agreed to come down, and they are also ambitious, thinking that they can compete with the Phoenix Group in five years, and then they will be able to gain a firm foothold in the Asian market even if they do not rely on the Phoenix Group.
In this regard, Lu Shaohua couldn't help sneering in his heart, Asia is Lu Shaohua's base camp, will Lu Shaohua let a vicious tiger sleep on his territory? The answer is obviously impossible, Royal Dutch Shell is just a transition for Phoenix Oil, and when Phoenix Oil becomes stronger, Phoenix Oil will change its role and become a tiger destroyer or hunter.
The shopping mall is like this, otherwise no one will compare the shopping mall to a battlefield, it will always be so cruel, today it is a very good friend, tomorrow it may turn its face and not recognize people, six relatives do not recognize, and in a blink of an eye it has become an enemy.
Lu Shaohua knew the cruelty of the shopping mall, and he had been on guard for a long time, and he had done a lot of work to prevent it from happening, and he was not afraid that Royal Dutch Shell would occupy the Asian market in the future and compete with him.
Preventing Royal Dutch Shell from competing with him is what Lu Shaohua must prepare, but an Asian market is not in Lu Shaohua's eyes, Lu Shaohua's ambition is that his goal is global, the world.
Lu Shaohua also has this capital to look at it bigger, because when Phoenix Oil gets on the right track and starts to operate independently, his assets and even oil reserves will reach an unprecedented peak.
To put it mildly, at that time, it is possible for Lu Shaohua to eat Royal Dutch Shell, are you still afraid that he will make waves in the Asian market?
Sometimes, Lu Shaohua thinks that he is a little paranoid in doing things, and in order to prevent it from happening, Lu Shaohua actually gave Li Zongen an order, an order that was very unfavorable to the Royal Dutch Shell Company.
"Acquisition of shares in Royal Dutch Shell."
This is an order issued by Lu Shaohua, of course, there are two more words in front of this order - secret, secretly acquire the shares of Royal Dutch Shell, and it is still a decentralized acquisition, using more than ten or twenty offshore companies to quietly acquire, without alarming anyone.
There is no way, Royal Dutch Shell is a listed company, and the shares are scattered, there are dozens of large and small shareholders, and there are many stocks flowing in the market, so it is very easy to acquire.
And the acquisition of the shares of Royal Dutch Shell, Lu Shaohua is with a purpose, and it is also the best prevention. Suppose that if Li Zongen acquires most of the shares of Royal Dutch Shell and then integrates them, Lu Shaohua will become the majority shareholder of Royal Dutch Shell, and the big shareholders have the power to make decisions in the company.
With decision-making power, Royal Dutch Shell has basically become a semi-subordinate company under the Phoenix Group, will Lu Shaohua still be afraid of them? If necessary, Lu Shaohua can also use some means to privately acquire the shares of other minority shareholders, and it is possible to expand the shares to 51 percent, turning Royal Dutch Shell into a real subsidiary of the Phoenix Group.
There are no absolutes in the world, this sentence Lu Shaohua's heart occupies a large proportion, Lu Shaohua also believes in this sentence, with his hidden capital, it is not difficult to acquire more shares of Royal Dutch Shell, if you use an unclean means, absolute control is not impossible.
But there is no need for this at the moment, after all, in the next five years, it is impossible for the Phoenix Group and Royal Dutch Shell to stand in an opposing position, and Lu Shaohua secretly made small moves just to prevent it from happening.
Yes, Lu Shaohua only felt that he was taking precautions, and he didn't think in another direction, let alone think about it, because it was not honorable to do so.
Aren't all people like that? His dark side is always deeply hidden, Lu Shaohua is not a god, he is an ordinary person, he also has a dark side, plus the mall is cruel, Lu Shaohua has no choice.
If Lu Shaohua wants to protect his plan from obstacles, he can only use the dark side and use dishonorable means to prevent it.
However, while guarding against Royal Dutch Shell, Lu Shaohua did not let Phoenix Oil stop, not only did not stop, but also accelerated the progress, recruited troops, filled the foundation of Phoenix Oil, and began to operate.
It has to be said that the influence of the Phoenix Group has been unprecedentedly expanded since it entered the top 37th in the world, and when Phoenix Petroleum released the recruitment information, the reaction from the outside world was extremely strong, and many talents have put their resumes to the personnel department of the Phoenix Group, wanting to try their luck and work in the Phoenix Group.
Lu Shaohua also received Qin Sichen's report, three days after the recruitment information was issued, the personnel department of the Phoenix Group received a total of more than 58,000 resumes, all kinds of talents, including more than 25,000 sent from abroad, and more than 33,000 were local to Hong Kong.
For this situation, Lu Shaohua also seemed a little speechless, but what this phenomenon meant, Lu Shaohua knew very well, while smiling bitterly and speechless, Lu Shaohua was more happy and excited.
He can now say out loud that he succeeded.
Yes, he succeeded, he knocked out the name of the Phoenix Group, and the goal that had just been reborn before could be considered achieved. The economic empire, the current Phoenix Group has half stepped into the circle of the economic empire.
Therefore, Lu Shaohua succeeded.
The reaction of the outside world has verified Lu Shaohua's achievements, Phoenix Group has succeeded, Lu Shaohua has succeeded, but the current situation is really a headache for the employees of the personnel department, after all, more than 58,000 resumes can not be reviewed at once.
But there is no way, Lu Shaohua still said that the Phoenix Group only needs the elite of the elite, and the waste materials are not wanted, which makes the employees of the personnel department have to cheer up, carefully read the resume, and then call for an interview, and only after passing two passes can they enter the door of the Phoenix Group.
After nearly a week of busyness, Qin Sichen sent dozens of people to the personnel department, and finally reviewed more than 58,000 resumes one by one, but the final result was in stark contrast to the total number of resumes, and less than 200 resumes were retained.
These two resumes are kept does not mean that their owners can enter the Phoenix Group, they have to go through an interview before they can come in, and there is a three-month probationary period after coming in, if they do not have excellent performance during the probationary period, they are waiting for the same result and are swept away.
It took a week to review resumes, another week to interview, and nearly half a month later, the owners of more than 200 resumes confirmed that they had entered the Phoenix Group for probation. More than 80 people were eliminated in the interview process, and only 120 people were able to enter the probationary period.
Phoenix Petroleum has just been established and entered into cooperation with Royal Dutch Shell, but even so, it does not need too many employees, only nearly a hundred people are enough.
That is to say, there will be twenty people out of the one hundred and twenty people entering the probation period, which is an ironclad fact, and at the same time, others may also be out, after all, there are talents, if someone performs badly, Lu Shaohua will not leave them in Phoenix Oil, and it is a big deal to recruit again.
In this way, more than a month passed in the blink of an eye, and in this more than a month, Phoenix Petroleum was officially put into operation, and the one hundred and twenty people who entered the probation period were also eliminated during the period, and the personnel continued to shrink.
But according to Qin Sili's observation, among the rest of the people, they performed very well and could stay in the Phoenix Group to work. In this regard, Lu Shaohua didn't say anything, just let Qin Sichen watch it, if it was worth staying, Lu Shaohua didn't mind a dozen more people.
At this point, the craze of Phoenix Oil finally subsided, and Lu Shaohua was also relieved, however, at this time, two months had passed since Lu Shaohua returned to Hong Kong, and after the past two months, Lu Shaohua also ushered in a happy thing.
