Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 2: Planning for Hong Kong ()

He Chengyi and Lin Qiquan were discussing quietly, as if they were trying to push the position of general manager to each other. Lu Shaohua naturally ignored it and told them to make their own decision. He looked at the scenery outside the car window, a little dazed!

……

After a long while, the two stopped talking in low voices. Lin Qiquan pretended to cough twice before saying, "Boss, I think Chengyi should be the general manager, and I will be the deputy general manager."

Although both of them are real estate elites, Lin Qiquan never thinks that he is better than He Chengyi. When they were discussing just now, he had always supported He Chengyi to be the general manager, but He Chengyi also seemed to support himself to be the general manager.

When they were in Japan, although there was no distinction between the two of them as to who was senior or junior, Lin Qiquan knew that He Chengyi was slightly better than him in terms of vision or experience, and he was willing to give up the position of general manager.

As soon as Lin Qiquan finished speaking, He Chengyi moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but unexpectedly Lu Shaohua interrupted him and said with finality, "Okay, Mr. He will be the general manager."

Actually, the two of them had not come to an agreement and had been pushing it for a long time. Lin Qiquan knew that even if they continued to discuss, they would not be able to come to an agreement, so he simply proposed to Lu Shaohua that he would give up the position. However, what Lin Qiquan did not know was that Lu Shaohua still preferred He Chengyi. After this experience in Japan, He Chengyi had indeed performed better.

"Haha! Boss, can you let me say something?" He Chengyi said with a bitter face.

"Oh?" Liu Mingzhang frowned. "Just say what you want to say!"

"Well! I think it's better to let Qi Quan be the general manager. After all, he is two years older than me and may be more mature than me in handling various aspects." He Chengyi said seriously.

"Oh! Boss, don't listen to him. His vision and experience are much richer than mine, so he is the best candidate for the position of general manager. Although I am a little older, I can only help out. I think it's a bit strange for me to be the general manager." There was no way. Lin Qiquan really didn't want to be the general manager. What should I say! It was okay that he didn't know He Chengyi before, but after the trip to Japan, the two of them were considered comrades in the same trench, and their relationship was upgraded from strangers to the most intimate friends. There was no need to argue about who should be the general manager, which was also the reason why they shirked each other.

……

……

The two praised each other's strengths and picked out their own weaknesses, thinking that the other was the best candidate for the position of general manager. Lu Shaohua was helpless and thought to himself, "Others are fighting for the top position, but these two are just not interested in the top position, but in the position."

However, seeing them like this, Lu Shaohua still admired them. They were willing to push each other to a high position and put themselves in a difficult position. In addition to their good relationship, they also had their own strengths. "Okay, stop pushing the issue. Let me decide. Mr. He will be the general manager and Mr. Lin will be the deputy general manager. The salary will be the same. As for the authority, you two can discuss everything."

Helplessly, the play that allowed them to make their own decision ended in failure, and Lu Shaohua, as the boss, had no choice but to come out to uphold justice.

The boss made the final decision again. He Chengyi and Lin Qiquan had nothing to say. They nodded at the same time and agreed to follow Lu Shaohua's decision.

……

The Mercedes-Benz 500 drove slowly on the road, and before they knew it, the car drove into the villa. Lu Shaohua opened the door and got out first. Looking at the villa that he hadn't lived in for nearly a year, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "Finally home!"

Walking into the villa, I saw familiar furnishings. Although no one had lived there for a long time, it was still spotless, as if someone came to clean it regularly.

There was indeed someone who came to clean the villa. After Lu Shaohua left, the key to the front door was given to Li Yunqing. Li Yunqing also knew that Lu Shaohua would be in Japan for quite some time, so he hired a part-time worker to clean the villa once a week.

Lu Shaohua simply glanced at it and sat down on the sofa. He would be lying if he said he wasn't tired after sitting on the plane for several hours. But seeing He Chengyi and Lin Qiquan standing there, he couldn't help but smile and patted the sofa. "Why are you being so polite here? Sit down and wait for Mingzhang to come back. I have something else to tell him. I have to go back to Shenzhen the day after tomorrow."

Lin Qiquan and He Chengyi didn't know Lu Shaohua's temper as well as Liu Mingzhang, so they were naturally a little restrained. They didn't dare to sit anywhere without the boss asking them to. But now that Lu Shaohua had spoken, they didn't have anything to say, so they just sat down.

……

As soon as everyone sat down, Liu Mingzhang came running in, ignoring the presence of He Chengyi and the others. He lay down on the sofa, shouting "I'm so tired, I'm so tired", which made everyone roll their eyes.

"Okay, okay, it's just a few hours of flying!" Lu Shaohua really couldn't stand Liu Mingzhang's exaggerated actions. "Next, I will arrange the company's work. I probably won't be able to get up before noon tomorrow, and I have to go back to Shenzhen the day after tomorrow. I have some time now to arrange the next step of work."

Leaving home and living in a foreign country, it is basically impossible to sleep well every day. Now that he is back in Hong Kong, Lu Shaohua of course wants to relax and have a good sleep, so he arranged his work after getting off the plane so that he can relax for a day without any worries tomorrow.

When he heard about the next step of work, Liu Mingzhang stopped making exaggerated movements, sat up straight, and his face regained its serious expression.

"Well! First of all, I have just told Mr. He and the other two that we are going to enter the real estate industry in Hong Kong. Mingzhang, you need to cooperate. You can provide as much capital as needed. I want to develop Phoenix Real Estate into one of the best companies in Hong Kong." After saying that, Lu Shaohua glanced at Liu Mingzhang and saw the latter nodded before continuing. "As for the office building, Mr. He and Mr. Lin, you two can discuss it with Mingzhang in a few days. I won't say more here. Next, let's talk about the second thing. In the end, a company needs to be diversified. We can't just do finance and real estate. We still have to follow up with other industries, such as entertainment, catering, and sales. To develop these, we need professional talents in this field. So, you should pay attention. If there are talents in this field, you should absorb them into the company first and then develop slowly when the time is right."

Liu Mingzhang, He Chengyi and the other two all nodded. They knew that what Lu Shaohua was talking about was the company's development direction, and it could be considered a high-level meeting.

"Well! Now let me talk about the third thing. Mingzhang, you will notify the coal industry tomorrow and hold a press conference in your capacity as the general manager of Phoenix Financial Company." Having said that, Lu Shaohua stopped talking.

"Well, that's no problem. But what should the content be about?" Liu Mingzhang asked.

Lu Shaohua smiled and did not rush to continue.
