Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 2 Negotiation ()

After Li Shangkui left, Lu Shaohua turned around and took a deep look at the old man sitting with Zeng Jianguo, and said lightly: "Can you make the decision on some things?"

Yes, Lu Shaohua's tone was very calm, so calm that it was scary. But it was not his fault. After all, this matter was of great importance. If someone who could not control himself came to discuss it, there would be no result at all. Therefore, Lu Shaohua had to confirm it again.

This is exactly the manifestation of Lu Shaohua's change of mentality. It is not that Lu Shaohua is arrogant because he has more than 420 billion US dollars, nor is he proud, but he has the capital to be arrogant and proud. To put it bluntly, he is now a shareholder of many companies in the United States, and the same is true in Japan. He owns shares in many companies. This is their background, a background that can contain the official, and this does not include the Soviet Union. If it is counted, it is a terrible existence, and he is fully qualified to speak in this tone.

The country can give up rich people like Lu Shaohua to help the country develop, and it can also give up business talents like Lu Shaohua, but it can't ignore the international comments and pressure. A country's international image is very important. If Lu Shaohua has an accident and the news that he owns shares in many companies is made public, no one can predict what will happen.

When Lu Shaohua asked this, the old man's face suddenly turned cold. He couldn't stand that a child who looked like a teenager dared to talk to him like this. It was no wonder. He was in the military and didn't know that Hong Kong Phoenix Group Co., Ltd. was behind Lu Shaohua. He only regarded Lu Shaohua as a person who was slightly better than ordinary people. And a person who was slightly better than ordinary people actually talked to him who stood at the pinnacle of power like this. How could he stand it? "Humph!..." The old man snorted and stood up. His face was blue with veins, and he seemed to be on the verge of going berserk.

Seeing that the old man was about to lose his temper, Zeng Jianguo knew a lot about Lu Shaohua. If he had not been talking to Lu Shaohua as an elder, he would have given in. He pulled the old man's clothes and said, "I say, old man, can you control your temper? We are here to discuss important matters today." Zeng Jianguo emphasized his tone when talking about important matters.

Indeed, this old man really has a hot temper, but he is still quite calm, looking at Lu Shaohua deeply. "Huh!"

In response to this, Lu Shaohua shook his head, expressing his speechlessness, but he still realized one thing, that is, this old man has a lot of power to make decisions. No, to be precise, this matter cannot be decided by one person alone, and it must be decided after discussion among several senior executives. However, in Lu Shaohua's mind, the so-called decision-making means having a say. From this, Lu Shaohua knew that this old man has a lot of say, otherwise he would not have lost his temper so much.

"Haha! Xiaohua, this old man has such a temper, otherwise he wouldn't be called Lin Huobao." Zeng Jianguo said the old man's nickname without leaving any name. "Let's ignore him and talk about business."

From Zeng Jianguo's words, Lu Shaohua learned that the old man's surname should be Lin. Judging from his reaction just now, he must be at least a lieutenant general or a general. He smiled slightly. In fact, he didn't mind at all. The question just now did not rule out the possibility that Lu Shaohua was probing. In order to achieve a complete victory in an important negotiation, it is necessary to understand the other party's character, otherwise he would not ask a question that he knew.

I still remember that when Lu Shaohua called Zeng Jianguo, he asked to meet at least the head of a military region, and Zeng Jianguo agreed. Apparently, the "Lin Huobao" who came today was the head of a military region.

"Haha! Grandpa Zeng, I want to ask one more question before we get down to business." After a pause, Lu Shaohua continued, "Has the expert I told you about come?"

There are many things that Lu Shaohua needs to confirm clearly before he can really get into the topic. Although the two middle-aged men sitting on the side look like experts, Lu Shaohua still doesn't really believe them without confirmation.

"Yes!" Zeng Jianguo nodded and pointed at the two middle-aged men sitting on the side and said, "They are experts in weapons and equipment. Oh, no doubt, they are very authoritative experts."

Nodding with satisfaction, Lu Shaohua did not speak. He was waiting, waiting for Li Shangkui to come back. He had asked Li Shangkui to go out just now to get something, the materials that Chen Guobang had asked someone to organize and translate into Chinese.

There was no other way. Lu Shaohua couldn't possibly carry that pile of information with him. Besides, he left all the information in the car as a backup plan in case of any accidents.

……

Not long after, Li Shangkui, who had gone out, came back in, but this time he came in with a black briefcase in his left hand. Looking at his cautious look, one could tell that the things in the briefcase were of no trivial importance.

Lu Shaohua took Li Shangkui's company, put it on his feet, gently unzipped it, carefully took out a few pages of paper full of bold text and put them on the table, and said to the two people Zeng Jianguo called experts, "Take a look at this first."

The two experts did not speak. After exchanging glances, they picked up a few pages of paper on the table and began to read them. The two experts did not say anything, but Zeng Jianguo was different. He asked, "You called and asked people to come just for these few pages of paper?"

Lu Shaohua shook his head and said he was speechless. Don't underestimate these few pages of paper. The contents in them are absolutely shocking. Oh, they are quite shocking to the Chinese side. As for the few pages of paper Zeng Jianguo mentioned, Lu Shaohua was even more speechless. He was kidding. He bought frigates, cruisers and several new types of fighter planes in the Soviet Union. It would be just a few pages. These papers are just a few pages in the briefcase, accounting for less than 1% of the total.

On the other hand, the two experts seemed calm at first, but the more they looked down, the more their expressions changed, from calm to surprise, and then from surprise to shock, until finally their mouths opened into a O shape, enough to fit a duck egg.

……

……

Time passed bit by bit, and finally, a thin expert could no longer sit still. He put down the papers in his hands, took a deep breath, and asked in the most excited tone of his life: "Is this true?"

Only Lu Shaohua and another expert understood this sentence. What he asked was whether everything in the information was true. Lu Shaohua had expected this. In the 90s, the Soviet Union's military equipment was far superior to China's, and the information these two experts had seen was beyond China's existing technology.

For experts like them who are obsessed with military technology, when they discover something with technical content beyond their understanding, their first reaction is to study it. Yes, this is what the two experts are thinking at the moment. If Lu Shaohua really has what is described in the information, they will study it as soon as possible.

Lu Shaohua didn't rush to answer his question. He pondered for a moment, nodded and said seriously. "Really."

"what!"

"what!"

……

Two screams echoed throughout the house. The expert who had just asked Lu Shaohua a question suddenly stood up from the sofa, came to Lu Shaohua with an eager look, and said, "Can you give us the entire fighter plane for research?"

"Oh, that... that is fine for you to study, but..." Lu Shaohua stopped here.

"Just what?" the expert demanded.

"Hehe!" Lu Shaohua chuckled and changed the subject. "Don't worry now. Since you have finished reading a few pages, you can look at the rest." After saying that, Lu Shaohua didn't waste any words and simply took out all the information in the briefcase and threw a thick stack of information on the table.

This time, Lu Shaohua didn't need to say anything. The two experts started to work immediately, picked up the information and began to read it carefully. The most exaggerated thing was the expert who had just come to Lu Shaohua. He picked up the information, sat down on the ground, crossed his legs and started to read it.

……

Zeng Jianguo and 'Lin Huobao' were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. They didn't know why the two experts suddenly became like this, especially 'Lin Huobao'. He didn't know the real situation inside, so naturally he couldn't react.

But he couldn't be blamed for this. Zeng Jianguo called him and only told him to bring two experts in weapons and equipment to Shenzhen to discuss a military technology transaction. As for what military technology, he had no idea. At first, he was just giving face to Zeng Jianguo, an old friend, but now his thoughts have changed. To make two authoritative experts behave like this, this military technology transaction is definitely not that simple.

Regardless of the complicated thoughts in Zeng Jianguo and Lin Huobao's minds, the two experts worked very hard on the content on the paper, and were extremely serious. It usually took them 2 minutes to finish reading a piece of paper, but they took a full 5 minutes to turn the page, which shows that their seriousness was beyond the normal level.

In addition to being serious, their expressions also told everyone present that they were very excited. Yes, very excited. It seemed that the paper in their hands was like their wives, and they couldn't let it go. Oh, no! If Lu Shaohua came, their expressions would be more like seeing a group of naked beauties, constantly tempting them.

……

Time passed, and Lu Shaohua arrived at Zeng Aimin's home at two o'clock in the afternoon. In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed, and the two experts were still reading the contents of the paper. Except for occasionally turning the page, they sat there motionless the rest of the time.

Another hour and a half passed, and Lu Shaohua was getting a little impatient. If he continued to show them the information, they probably wouldn't be able to finish it in a day. He pretended to cough twice and said loudly, "Okay, you two, you can take your time reading this information. We still have to talk about business."

After being brought back to reality by Lu Shaohua's move, the two experts were somewhat confused as to what Lu Shaohua meant and looked at him with questioning expressions.

"Haha! No need to look at me like that. Just answer me one question." Lu Shaohua waved his hand.

"What's the problem?" they both asked.
