Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 4 Negotiation ()

Lu Shaohua did it on purpose, absolutely on purpose. He stopped talking halfway to keep Zeng Jianguo and Commander Lin in suspense.

The reality proved that the "suspense" plan was successful. Seeing that Lu Shaohua hadn't said anything for a long time, the hot-tempered Lin Si finally couldn't wait any longer and said, "I say, can you stop keeping us in suspense and tell us what conditions you have?"

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua smiled and said pretentiously: "You also know that as my wealth grows, it will inevitably bring some dangers. Therefore, I hope to get me a few gun licenses, so that my personal safety can be better guaranteed."

Guns are strictly controlled in China. Ordinary people are not allowed to carry guns, except for some bodyguards with official status. There are very few bodyguards of entrepreneurs like Lu Shaohua who can legally carry guns. Of course, some bodyguards of entrepreneurs do have guns, but these guns are not legal and are obtained through some informal channels.

Actually, Lu Shaohua didn't know that seeing Lu Shaohua's Phoenix Group flourishing in Hong Kong, some senior executives had already thought about protecting him, but when they saw that Lu Shaohua was accompanied by a retired special forces soldier like Li Shangkui, their thoughts were wiped out. Just kidding, if even a retired special forces soldier like Li Shangkui couldn't protect Lu Shaohua, then whoever was sent would be the same, and they would not be able to protect him either.

Zeng Jianguo was naturally aware of the ideas of some senior officials. It seemed that there was nothing unreasonable about Lu Shaohua's request for a gun license. Not to mention other things, just the batch of weapons and equipment that the two experts called top technology had made a huge contribution to the country, not to mention that Lu Shaohua's investment in Shenzhen had helped the development of the national economy. A few small gun licenses did not seem to be too much.

Besides, if there was a first time, wouldn't there be a second time? If Lu Shaohua could get this technology, he would definitely be able to get it in the future. Yes, Zeng Jianguo thought that Lu Shaohua would also be able to get more advanced technology than this time in the future.

"I can promise you about the gun license, but the gun must be registered. Also, it's best not to shoot unless necessary. Can you agree to that?" Zeng Jianguo said.

"No problem." This was Lu Shaohua's answer. Originally, Lu Shaohua didn't need to ask Zeng Jianguo for a gun license. He could just get a few guns from the Soviet Union. But that was illegal. If an accident happened and the gun was fired, it would be difficult to investigate. There was no other way, so he had to ask for a gun license. It was better to carry a gun openly than in secret.

"Well, you have to remember what you just said." Zeng Jianguo warned Lu Shaohua meaningfully, and then changed the subject, saying, "Let's put aside the gun license. It will be done in a few days. Now you should state your last condition."

What is to come will come. This last condition is the key to this negotiation. If this condition cannot be met, everything is empty talk, and there is no need to dwell on the previous four conditions. Assuming that this condition cannot be met by Lu Shaohua, then Lu Shaohua will not hand over this batch of military technology to the country, and his investment in Shenzhen will also end. In other words, if it cannot be met, Lu Shaohua will turn his focus to foreign countries, and will only invest in some unrestricted investments in China.

However, Lu Shaohua still hoped to get a promise. In his subconscious, he still hoped to help the country's economic development. But if he couldn't get a promise, he would have no choice. His economic empire was inevitable and he couldn't afford to delay. The sooner it was implemented, the sooner it would be completed.

To put it bluntly, Lu Shaohua was also gambling. He was gambling that the country's top leaders would not give up the only opportunity to take the military to a new level. For a country's economy to develop, it is only a matter of time before those restrictions are lifted. Anyway, they have to be lifted. It's just a little earlier now. From an optimistic point of view, isn't this also an opportunity?

He took a deep breath and was silent for a moment, organizing his words in his mind. After a long time, Lu Shaohua finally spoke: "My last condition may embarrass you, and I don't force you to agree to it now. But if you can't agree to this condition in the end, then all my plans will have to start over."

Lu Shaohua's tone was very decisive when he said this, and at the same time, he also revealed a message, that is, he would give up the idea of ​​focusing on investment in Shenzhen and turn to other places. It is now 91, and there are still 10 years to enter the 21st century. In these ten years, the development of science and technology is as fast as riding a rocket. If Lu Shaohua cannot establish his science and technology industry at this time, what will he use to compete with others in the future?

On the contrary, if Lu Shaohua has established a company now and has occupied a certain position in the international market, he will be the winner. It is undeniable that taking a step slower than others is bound to be full of difficulties.

Seeing Lu Shaohua so solemn, Zeng Jianguo and Commander Lin also realized that the next condition might not be decided by them, and at the same time, their faces became solemn. Zeng Jianguo pondered for a moment and said, "Tell me what this condition is?"

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua pretended to laugh, easing the atmosphere in the hall, and then said, "I know that the country has restrictions on many industries now, and the large-scale production base I built in Shenzhen is intended to produce products that are restricted by the country."

Having said this, Lu Shaohua paused again. He wanted to give Zeng Jianguo and the other man time to react. Although he did not continue speaking, Lu Shaohua's eyes never left the faces of Zeng Jianguo and Commander Lin.

Hearing this, Zeng Jianguo and the other man's expressions became more solemn. He should have thought that Lu Shaohua built such a large base to produce things related to technology, but he had too many things to deal with in his daily life and forgot to ask Lu Shaohua.

"Do you want the country to lift restrictions on you?" Zeng Jianguo asked.

"Yes." Lu Shaohua did not deny it and said it directly.

"Well, so the three conditions you mentioned earlier are not your goals. The real goal is to remove the restrictions." Zeng Jianguo asked again.

"No, it cannot be said that this is not the real purpose. I think you have guessed it. The technical talents of the Soviet Union are what I prepared for this production base, and asking the military to provide convenient transportation is another business of mine." Everyone is a smart person. Now many things are related to the Soviet Union. It is impossible to conceal them. Even if it is something that cannot be concealed, Lu Shaohua's choice is to tell it.

"Oh!" Zeng Jianguo replied calmly, and then asked, "Can you tell me what you are going to produce at the base in Shenzhen?"

"Cars, computers and some electronic products." After a pause, Lu Shaohua added, "This is a project that needs to be started urgently. It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but one thing is certain, the areas involved will be wider in the future. In short, the base in Bao'an District will only receive technological things, and other things will not be in Bao'an District."

Zeng Jianguo exclaimed, "Isn't this right?" Thinking back to Lu Shaohua's first condition, everything became clear. Didn't Lu Shaohua say it just now? The technical talents recruited by the Soviet Union were prepared for that base.

After taking a deep look at Lu Shaohua, Zeng Jianguo's only feeling was that he had underestimated Lu Shaohua. From the time Lu Shaohua entered his sight until now, has he not thought three steps ahead before doing anything? Oh! No, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he thinks ten steps ahead before doing one step.

Why do I say this? The Shenzhen base began construction in 90, which means that Lu Shaohua started preparing as early as 90. If we dig deeper, Lu Shaohua started planning as early as 1988, because Chen Guobang went to the Soviet Union in 88.

"Terrible", Zeng Jianguo, who knew Lu Shaohua's past, suddenly remembered this word. If all this was really planned in 1988, then Lu Shaohua was really terrible. A plan was actually planned as early as 3 years ago, and it slowly came to this point.

After thinking about it, Zeng Jianguo secretly told himself to "stay calm, you must stay calm."

……

Zeng Jianguo took a long breath and said, "Do you think the country will agree to your conditions?"

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua laughed. Yes! He laughed. He had all his plans in mind. He always believed that he could use these military technologies to impress the top leaders of the country. There was no leader who didn't want to see the country become stronger. "I think the country will agree."

Seeing that Lu Shaohua was confident, Zeng Jianguo also agreed to remove the restrictions on Lu Shaohua. After all, Lu Shaohua could not only bring top military technology to the country, but also help the country's economic development. It can be said that there are two benefits, and the country only has to remove the restrictions in advance.

These are not things that Zeng Jianguo can decide alone. Everyone has a different stance. Lu Shaohua has his own considerations, and the country has its own considerations. What the country needs to consider is whether lifting the restrictions will cause adverse effects.

"It's not something I can decide on my own. I have to discuss it before I can make a decision." Zeng Jianguo expressed his difficulties.

"Haha, it's okay. I've already said that I can wait." Lu Shaohua nodded calmly and said, "How about this, Grandpa Zeng, give me a week. Give me an answer in a week. Do you think it's okay?" Lu Shaohua was also in a hurry. A week was already a long time for him.

"Okay, it will probably take at most a week. I might be able to give you an answer in two days." Zeng Jianguo nodded and replied.

"Okay then." Lu Shaohua had no objection. "Well, Grandpa Zeng, since there is nothing else, I will go back now."

Now that the business was over, it was time for Lu Shaohua to leave. Besides, it was getting late.

"Well, let me take you there." Zeng Jianguo stood up and said.

Lu Shaohua felt a little strange, as if Zeng Aimin had never seen Zeng Jianguo off before, but he had to see him off this time. "There must be something strange about this?" This was Lu Shaohua's first feeling.
