Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 3 Negotiation ()

"What's the problem?" The two experts asked almost at the same time, with anxious looks on their faces. They were absorbed in reading the information just now, and were suddenly brought back to reality by Lu Shaohua's cough. They felt very confused, but there was nothing they could do. The information belonged to Lu Shaohua, and they did not dare to lose their temper with the owner of the information. They could only let Lu Shaohua ask the question quickly, and after they answered it, they could delve into the content of the information again.

"Haha, before answering the questions, I need you to guarantee that every word of your answer is true and you can't hide anything." Lu Shaohua said.

"No problem." The two experts answered at the same time, but this time they seemed a little impatient.

Lu Shaohua ignored their impatience, and asked solemnly, "What is the international level of the military technology here?"

Yes, Lu Shaohua wanted the two experts to say what level it was. Was it top-notch? Advanced? Or relatively backward? Only if these two experts gave the level, would Lin Huobao and Zeng Jianguo believe it. Once they believed it, Lu Shaohua could negotiate terms with them.

As soon as Lu Shaohua asked the question, the two experts looked at him like an idiot, thinking to themselves, how could he get the information but not know the level of the technology inside? This seemed to be no different from an idiot, but they didn't think much about it. The most important thing at the moment was the information, and they wanted to stuff it into their heads. They answered in unison: "Top-notch."

Their answer was just two words, but these two words shocked Lin Huobao and Zeng Jianguo. The word "top" looks simple, but its meaning is not simple! From the military's point of view, if you have the world's top military technology, it means that your country's military strength and national defense strength are far superior to others, and your international status will also rise to a higher level because of your strong military strength.

At this time, although China had nuclear weapons very early, it still couldn't keep up with others in other aspects. Not to mention now, even in Lu Shaohua's previous life, that is, in 2010, the military strength was still far behind that of the United States and Russia.

As a Chinese, who doesn't want to see their country become stronger? Zeng Jianguo and Lin Huobao are both old revolutionaries, so how can they not want their country to become stronger? Now the opportunity has come. The information provided by Lu Shaohua can make the country's military strength rise to a higher level. How can they miss this opportunity?

"Are you two telling the truth? Top notch?" Lin Huo Bao asked loudly. There was no other way. To be honest, he didn't believe that Lu Shaohua, a 'little brat' who looked only in his teens, could get the world's top military technology.

The two experts were furious at this remark. This was a blatant insult to their reputation as experts. "Commander Lin, although you are the commander, please do not doubt our ability to identify technology."

As commanders, the two experts showed no weakness when it came to technical issues and reputation, and stared at the "Forest Fire Storm" with their noses blown and their eyes wide open.

"Oh, well, I'm not doubting you, but..." 'Lin Huobao' hurriedly explained, but he stopped abruptly halfway through his words because he wanted to say 'I don't believe Lu Shaohua', but suddenly remembered that the owner of the information seemed to be Lu Shaohua. If he said this, he might offend Lu Shaohua.

From their conversation, Lu Shaohua got another piece of information, that is, 'Lin Huobao' was a commander, but it was unknown which military district he belonged to. Lu Shaohua didn't care which military district he belonged to, as long as he made the 'deal'. As for the question that 'Lin Huobao' later asked about not trusting him, he automatically filtered it out and pretended not to know.

"Haha! Grandpa Zeng, I didn't disappoint you, did I? These are all top-notch techniques!" Lu Shaohua said with a smile.

This statement has two meanings. The technology is top-notch, but it depends on whether the country wants it or not. If the country wants it, it will have to put forward conditions. That's right, this is the other meaning of Lu Shaohua's words.

Zeng Jianguo couldn't understand what Lu Shaohua meant! He smiled and said directly: "Let's be straightforward. Just tell me what you want."

"Here it comes, here it comes." Lu Shaohua exclaimed in his heart. He had been preparing for this moment for so long, wasn't he? He took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions and said, "I have a frigate, a cruiser and two types of fighters, a total of five types. My conditions are also five. As long as you agree to my conditions, all the things in the data will be turned into existing machines and sent back to China."

"Oh? Five conditions?" Zeng Jianguo frowned. Apparently, according to the two experts, the technologies in the data were all world-class. They really liked the top technologies! After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Tell me your five conditions. As long as they are not too excessive, I can agree to them now. But if they are too excessive, I can't do anything about it. I have to ask my superiors before I can give you a reply."

When Zeng Jianguo came to Shenzhen to prepare for negotiations with Lu Shaohua, he passed the news to Deng Xiaoping, and Deng Xiaoping only gave one instruction: if there were really advanced military technology, some conditions that were not too excessive could be agreed to.

Just like that, Zeng Jianguo suddenly became an important representative of this negotiation, but Commander Lin could not be ignored. Lu Shaohua knew that he had a condition that both Zeng Jianguo and Commander Lin had to agree to, and he wanted the two experts to state the level of technology.

How to say it, one more person has to speak up. As long as the technology is advanced, Commander Lin, who is in the military, will definitely like it. When he reports the matter to his superiors, he will definitely support and agree to Lu Shaohua's conditions because of the advanced technology.

"Haha! Let me first state four small conditions, I think you can agree to them." After that, Lu Shaohua smiled and raised a finger to indicate the first condition. "You should also know that the Soviet Union is in chaos, and it is difficult to go abroad normally. I want to recruit some technical talents from the Soviet Union to Shenzhen, and I can only rely on some abnormal channels to send them to China. Oh, my condition is that I hope the country will not see it, and then after I bring the talents to Shenzhen, I can give them an identity."

This condition did not seem difficult to Lu Shaohua. It was just a matter of not caring about the fact that Zeng Jianguo used abnormal channels to transport people and giving the people he transported in an identity. This should not be a difficult task for Zeng Jianguo, who was a senior official in the central government.

"Well! This is not a difficult task. As long as those are really technical talents recruited by you, we will welcome them very much." Zeng Jianguo said.

On the surface, this seemed to be an agreement, but at the same time it was also a warning to Lu Shaohua, that is, if Lu Shaohua recruited some messy people instead of technical talents, he would not agree to it.

"You can rest assured about this." Lu Shaohua said with a smile.

"That's good. I'll make the decision. I agree to your request." Zeng Jianguo nodded and said, "Tell me your second condition."

"Haha! My second condition may trouble the military." After saying that, Lu Shaohua glanced at Commander Lin before continuing, "I have negotiated a deal in the Soviet Union. There may be a steady stream of goods shipped across the border. I hope the military can give me convenience."

At the end, Lu Shaohua paused and continued, "Don't worry, most of the goods are electronic products, and there are no contraband items."

The troops of the Northeast Military Region were guarding the Sino-Soviet border. If Lu Shaohua wanted to transport the goods over, it would be much more convenient if he just said hello to the army. But if he didn't say hello to the army, it would waste a lot of time just to check when crossing the border.

"That's no problem. I'll give a heads up to the head of the Northeast Military Region and facilitate the delivery of your goods." This time Zeng Jianguo did not speak, but Commander Lin spoke. Although he was not the top leader of the Northeast Military Region, they were both from the same Chinese Army and had some friendship. What's more, if the Northeast Military Region could get the military technology from Lu Shaohua, it would also be one of the beneficiaries in the future.

Just like that, the second condition was agreed to. Lu Shaohua said without further ado, "My third condition is that I want to set up a security company in China. This security company will recruit many retired soldiers, and my requirement is that I don't want anyone to accuse me of wanting to rebel."

As the industry in Shenzhen gradually developed, security companies were indispensable. The security company that Lu Shaohua wanted to set up did not need ordinary security guards, but retired soldiers. If too many soldiers were recruited, it might cause some unnecessary trouble. For example, as Lu Shaohua said, if he was accused of rebellion, he would be in big trouble.

This time, neither Zeng Jianguo nor Commander Lin spoke, but looked at each other. At the moment of looking at each other, they both smiled at the same time. Just kidding, the army is now undergoing a large-scale reduction in troops. The soldiers who are laid off can only be assigned to one unit, and the rest of the large part are still unknown. It just so happens that Lu Shaohua also wants to recruit security guards. Isn't this a good place to place them? In other words, Lu Shaohua's condition indirectly solved a headache for them.

"No problem, I can promise you, but we also have requirements, that is, the nature of this security company and what it is used for?" Commander Lin asked.

"Yes!" Lu Shaohua nodded, and then explained: "Grandpa Zeng knows that I am building a large production base in Shenzhen. In the future, I may develop many industries, such as real estate companies and other industries. So in a word, security guards are absolutely indispensable."

In Lu Shaohua's vision, real estate companies need security guards, but there is another project that needs security even more, and that is the supermarket. Yes, Lu Shaohua is going to develop his own supermarket. Otherwise, in a few years, many foreign companies will enter China, such as Walmart, Carrefour, etc. As long as they enter the Chinese market, the competition will be fierce. If you set it up now and gain a firm foothold, will you still be afraid of them then?

"Well, that's good. Let's move on to your fourth condition." Zeng Jianguo asked.

"Okay, my fourth condition is even simpler, which is..."
