Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 2 One Year Later ()

In addition to the company moving into the new office building, there was another thing that made Lu Shaohua happy for a long time, that was the bank's full acquisition was finally successful. Speaking of the acquisition of the bank, Lu Shaohua made a special trip to the Fok family after completing the acquisition to thank Fok Ying-tung for this matter. After all, Mr. Fok made a lot of efforts to make the acquisition successful, and it was because of his persuasion of the shipping king that it was successful.

A drop of water should be returned with a spring of water. This is Lu Shaohua's personal principle. He will remember the favor of those who helped him. However, when Lu Shaohua expressed his gratitude, Mr. Huo just smiled and said modestly, "I didn't do much. The main reason is that the price you offered was too tempting."

Mr. Huo said so, so Lu Shaohua naturally didn't say anything. He just kept it in mind and would repay him when he had the chance in the future. It was also because of the acquisition of the bank that Lu Shaohua and the Huo family became much closer.

After acquiring the bank, the first thing Lu Shaohua did was to change the name of the bank, removing the original name and officially putting it on the name of Phoenix. With a new name, the employees inside naturally had to be changed, especially the management staff. Lu Shaohua carried out a major cleanup and cleared out all the employees who were incompetent and had poor service attitudes from the bank. Old blood replaced new blood, this is an eternal truth, and it was necessary to recruit a large number of relatively excellent employees to enter the bank.

I don’t know if it’s because the bank’s name is changed to Phoenix, or because of Lu Shaohua’s reorganization, but the bank’s performance is growing day by day. It can be said that the bank has undergone a complete makeover and stands tall in the city of Hong Kong with a brand new look.

The development of the bank gradually got on track, and Lu Shaohua began his next plan, training talents who could speak Russian and had good service attitudes. Liu Mingzhang and Li Yunqing were puzzled by Lu Shaohua's plan. After all, Phoenix Bank was under the financial subsidiary, so everything had to be arranged indirectly through them.

Lu Shaohua did not explain much, just let them do as he said. Although Liu Mingzhang and Li Yunqing were puzzled and had doubts, they still gave the order seriously. The only thought in their minds was that Lu Shaohua wanted to march into the Soviet Union, but Lu Shaohua had not mentioned it before, and their doubts continued to deepen...

Time passed unknowingly, and in the blink of an eye it was already February 1991. Lu Shaohua was preparing to return to Shenzhen. After all, the traditional Chinese festival - Spring Festival was approaching. Lu Shaohua spent last year's Spring Festival in Japan. After returning to Shenzhen, he called his mother Chen Li, but she nagged him for a long time. If he didn't go back to Shenzhen for the New Year this year, she might nag him again.

Furthermore, the two projects in Shenzhen had been under construction for several months, and Lu Shaohua also wanted to go back and take a look, and arrange the next things. After that, he would go to the Soviet Union and would be away from the country for a while.

On February 2, Lu Shaohua set off from his villa in Kowloon Tong in a Rolls-Royce and drove all the way to the customs. He also brought someone with him when he returned to Shenzhen, Lin Qiquan. Lu Shaohua had talked to Lin Qiquan long before Phoenix Real Estate was on the right track, and wanted him to go to Shenzhen to help him set up a real estate company. At first, Lin Qiquan neither agreed nor refused, saying that he would consider it for a while.

Lu Shaohua could understand this. After all, Lin Qiquan had parents and children to take care of in Hong Kong. If he went to Shenzhen alone, he would definitely be busy day and night and would have no time to return to Hong Kong. It would even be difficult for him to visit his family, so Lin Qiquan hesitated.

It was Lu Shaohua who knew this, and in the end Lu Shaohua offered to let Lin Qiquan move his family to Shenzhen, and Lin Qiquan agreed. To be honest, after experiencing the Japanese economic bubble, he knew that if he wanted to have his own stage, he had to do without Phoenix Company, and only Phoenix Company could give him a stage big enough for him to perform.

Going to Shenzhen to start from scratch was nothing more than a chance for him to challenge himself. He was only in his early thirties and needed such an opportunity. It was also an opportunity he had longed for. Now, Lu Shaohua asked them to move their family to Shenzhen, so that they could work hard in their careers and be with their family. Of course, he was happy.

……

Arriving in Shenzhen, Lu Shaohua did not rush back to the fruit shop, but asked Zhang Qingyun to drive to Bao'an District. He wanted to see how the residential community project was going. When they arrived in Bao'an District, the vacant land had changed and had the flavor of a residential community. Lu Shaohua found the person in charge of the project, but he did not expect that the person in charge of the project was Fu Haitao.

This was something Lu Shaohua had never expected, that a company CEO would personally go to the construction site to be the general director of the project. But after thinking it over, he didn't say anything, and after Fu Haitao led him around the construction site, Lu Shaohua went there.

When returning to Window of the World from Bao'an District, they had to pass by the fruit shop first, but Lu Shaohua did not let Zhang Qingyun stop the car. Instead, he asked him to drive straight ahead because he wanted to take another look at the Window of the World project. This project occupied a large place in Lu Shaohua's heart. After all, his soul traveled through Window of the World Square in his previous life.

When we arrived at the vacant land where the Window of the World was to be built, the result was similar to that in Bao'an, except that the speed was slower. This was no wonder, as Fu Zhentai's construction team was not very large, so not much manpower was invested in the Window of the World project, and the slow speed was natural.

After viewing the two projects, Lin Qiquan was shocked, especially the large vacant land in Bao'an District. He did not expect that Lu Shaohua had set up such a large group company in Hong Kong, and it was not weak in Shenzhen either. Just by looking at the vacant land in Bao'an, he knew that he wanted to build a large factory. However, he did not ask Lu Shaohua what he wanted to produce.

"Haha! What do you think, Mr. Lin? This project is called Window of the World. It is going to be built into a large tourist attraction integrating swimming, entertainment and leisure." Lu Shaohua said as he looked at the Window of the World under construction.

Lin Qiquan smiled and said, "I think it's best to build it here. Shenzhen has developed rapidly in recent years and is one of the few special economic zones in the mainland. After it is completed in the future, it will definitely become the first choice for people to relax and vacation."

"Haha! I hope so." Lu Shaohua said calmly. He never thought of making money from Window of the World. "Okay, let's go have lunch first, and then I'll take you to where you'll live in the future."

As for Lin Qiquan's family moving to Shenzhen, Lu Shaohua had already prepared a house for him. It was a newly purchased house with all the furniture and daily necessities ready. He could move in anytime he wanted.

"Okay!" Lin Qiquan responded.

Lu Shaohua nodded and led the way towards the parking lot, preparing to take Lin Qiquan to Weng Wende's restaurant for a meal.
