Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 208: Reply and Request

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Shaohua also waited for three days for news, but Zeng Jianguo had not given him a reply. However, Lu Shaohua was not in a hurry. Their agreement was for a week, and only three days had passed, so there were still four days left. Even though Lu Shaohua was confident that the country would eventually agree, he was still afraid of accidents. Nothing is absolute in the world, and only when he got a real answer could Lu Shaohua really feel relieved.

During these three days, Lu Shaohua almost stayed in the fruit shop and didn't go anywhere. The only time he went out was to see Zeng Yuling. Now she had to go to class, so he didn't play with her. He just looked at her, gave her a gift and left. Of course, Zeng Yuling had a gift, and An Teng Chiyo also had one. She and Zeng Yuling were now sympathetic sisters and stuck together all day long. When Lu Shaohua went to see Zeng Yuling, he naturally saw her as well.

As she got older, Zeng Yuling also changed. She used to be like a follower, and liked to follow Lu Shaohua every time she saw him. But now she is different, as if she has grown up a lot. When Lu Shaohua came to see her, she did not ask to play with him, but only said: "I will come back to Shenzhen to see her when I have time."

If she had time to return to Shenzhen, Lu Shaohua would come to see her without Zeng Yuling saying anything. However, it would take a few years for Lu Shaohua to have time, and he was destined to be busy in the future.

Of course, in addition to meeting Zeng Yuling, Lu Shaohua also made a special trip to the construction site behind "Outside the World". This construction site is Lu Shaohua's future home, so he naturally has to care about it. When he walked into the construction site, Lu Shaohua's first feeling was that it was in full swing. Hundreds of people were busy on the construction site, each doing their own job. When they saw Lu Shaohua and his team walking into the construction site in neat clothes, the workers just took a look and then continued with their work at hand.

Lu Shaohua walked in front, followed by Li Shangkui, Zhang Qingyun and four others. The team was quite large. Lin Qiquan, who was directing everything on the construction site, naturally noticed Lu Shaohua and his party. When he saw that the person coming was Lu Shaohua, he immediately put down his work and went to greet him.

"You're back?" Lin Qiquan asked with a smile.

"Yeah. The development is pretty good!" Lu Shaohua nodded and said. "By the way, how is the establishment of the engineering team going?"

One purpose of coming here is to see how the development is going, but the most important thing is to ask about the progress of the establishment of the engineering team. If Zeng Jianguo agrees, a large number of workers will be needed to start building the production base.

"Well, it's already a medium-sized construction team. Only a part of the people are here. I have arranged for the other part to do some peripheral work in Anbao District." Lin Qiquan replied.

"Well, that's good." Lu Shaohua nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "Are there any other difficulties?"

"Yes." Lin Qiquan said firmly. "I have to pay attention to the situation here and manage Baoan at the same time. I can't split my time."

Yes, if one person has to run between the two places, he will either be exhausted or annoyed to death. Lu Shaohua gave him the task of quickly forming an engineering team, and Lin Qiquan had no choice. Now the engineering team has been formed, but building a manor-style villa does not require too many people. He can only transfer a group of people to the production base in Bao'an. Once the transfer is made, he will have to run between the two places.

"Well, see if there are any people with leadership qualities and recruit a few of them. Otherwise, you will be exhausted to death." After understanding Lin Qiquan's difficulties, Lu Shaohua gave a solution.

"Okay." Lin Liuquan said happily, and then thought for a moment and said, "Some time ago, the boss of the real estate company I used to work for in Hong Kong got angry and cleared out several employees who worked under me. Until now, they have not found a suitable job. They called me and wanted to come to Shenzhen, but I didn't reply to them."

After Lin Qiquan finished speaking, Lu Shaohua rolled his eyes at him and sighed with a look of disappointment. "I'll leave Shenzhen to you. You don't need my consent for anything. You can do whatever you want. I don't care."

When Lin Qiquan came to Shenzhen, Lu Shaohua had told him that he would be in charge of everything, but now Lin Qiquan seemed to be unable to do anything, which made Lu Shaohua very depressed. If Lu Shaohua didn't trust Lin Qiquan, he wouldn't have let him come to Shenzhen to be the CEO of a real estate company.

"Hehe" Lin Qiquan smiled awkwardly. He had not been with Lu Shaohua for a long time, and his understanding of Lu Shaohua was limited to the surface. Therefore, he did not dare to make decisions on some matters, especially recruiting people from Hong Kong. After all, the salary of people recruited from Hong Kong was much higher than that in China. He was afraid that if he recruited them, Lu Shaohua would be unhappy because of the salary issue. But now he was relieved. From Lu Shaohua's tone, he said that you can recruit whoever you want, I don't care. "How about this, I will call and ask them to come over tomorrow. Those people have worked under me for several years, and they are all experts."

"That's right! Haha!" This time, Lu Shaohua showed a satisfied smile. "After you recruit your former subordinates, you can decide how to arrange them. I don't have any other requests. It's still about the engineering team. We need to expand it as soon as possible. It may be useful soon."

Lin Qiquan didn't say anything, but nodded seriously, patted his chest, and silently said to Lu Shaohua: "Leave it to me, don't worry."

"Okay, I'm going back. Don't run around all day, spend more time with your family when you have time." Lu Shaohua said with a smile. Lin Qiquan's entire family moved to Shenzhen several months ago, but Lu Shaohua hadn't visited them yet.

……

Time passed quietly, and it had been four days since the negotiation with Zeng Jianguo, and there was still no news in these four days. Lu Shaohua was a little anxious. Although the agreed time was one week, the one-week deadline was slowly approaching, and he could not help but be anxious.

On the morning of the fifth day, Lu Shaohua just got up, tidied himself up a bit and walked out of the fruit shop. He did not walk far, just wanted to breathe in the sweet and refreshing air in the morning. Not far from the door, he looked up at the clean blue sky and a few naughty clouds. His heart suddenly became clear and he murmured, "The sky is clear!" He took a deep breath of the morning air with the fragrance of dew, as if all the distracting thoughts were squeezed out with the inhalation of fresh air. He turned around and went back to the fruit shop, ready to get some fruits for breakfast in the store, but unexpectedly, before he got the fruits, the phone rang.

When he picked up the phone, he realized it was Zeng Jianguo calling. The content of the call was just a few simple words, asking Lu Shaohua to go to Zeng Aimin's current home. Needless to say, Lu Shaohua knew that there must be news, so he answered and called Li Shangkui and others to rush to Zeng Jianguo's home.

As expected, Zeng Jianguo got straight to the point after he sat down at the door. "I just flew back from Beijing this morning. After discussion, all your conditions were approved unanimously, but there are a few requirements."

The blood seemed to be boiling! Excited! Apart from excitement, Lu Shaohua couldn't think of anything to describe his mood. Even though he had guessed that this would be the answer, he couldn't help but feel excited when he heard it with his own ears. After working so hard for so long, three years ago, Chen Guobang led the other nine special forces to the chaotic Soviet Union to build connections. Wasn't it for the success of today's plan?

I still remember that Lu Shaohua told Chen Guobang that he asked him to make connections for the sake of Soviet talents. In fact, that was not the case. Lu Shaohua knew Chen Guobang well. If he had told Chen Guobang the purpose of buying military technology from the Soviet Union, he probably would not have agreed.

But that was in the past. Now that he had succeeded, Lu Shaohua did not want to recall it. The next step was to ask the country's top leaders what their requirements were. "Grandpa Zeng, what are your requirements?"

"Well, there are only three requests." Zeng Jianguo said without waiting for Lu Shaohua to ask more. "The first request is that after the restrictions are lifted, if your company develops some advanced things, I hope you can share them with the country."

Lu Shaohua understood that it was nothing more than some technologies, such as the engines of future cars. If the technology was advanced, the country hoped to share the technology. "Okay, I agree." Lu Shaohua answered simply. It seemed that there was nothing wrong. You know, a technology can remain advanced for one year, but it can't last for two or three years. In the future, it is easy to be eliminated. If you keep innovating and researching better things, you are doomed to be eliminated.

"Well, the second requirement is the gun license. You should also know that the country has always been very strict in the management of guns. If you want your bodyguard to have a gun license, you must let your bodyguard have an official identity." After a pause, Zeng Jianguo continued. "We have checked and found that your bodyguards are all retired special forces soldiers. We can give them a position in the army, so that it will be a natural thing."

"Brilliant," said Lu Shaohua. In the modern era, if a private enterprise boss's bodyguard is given a gun license, it will inevitably lead to gossip. However, if Li Shangkui and his men are given an official identity, it will be very different. However, this also caused some trouble for Lu Shaohua. How can Lu Shaohua, a private enterprise boss, be equipped with an official bodyguard?

"Grandpa Zeng, if I give them an official identity, it seems like my identity will be a little off." Lu Shaohua expressed his doubts.

"Haha! You can rest assured about this. We have already made some arrangements, which is to give you an official identity. After all, you have obtained so many top military technologies and made great contributions to the country's military strength. It is only right that you be given a position." Zeng Jianguo said seriously.

After hearing this, Lu Shaohua was full of contempt. He was trying to win over the government, but he acted so righteously. But then again, it seemed that having an official identity would only bring him benefits and no harm, so Lu Shaohua could still reluctantly accept it.

"Well, I can't make the decision on whether to get an official identity. I have to ask them first. But it's not a big problem." Lu Shaohua thought about it and replied. Giving Li Shangkui and others an identity would make things much more convenient. He just didn't know whether Li Shangkui and others would accept it.

"Okay, then I'll tell you my last request. If you can agree to it, then there won't be any problem with the others." Zeng Jianguo didn't seem to care about the first two requests. It was a bit like when Lu Shaohua put forward five conditions. Didn't he care about the first four?

"Please go ahead." Lu Shaohua pretended to listen attentively.
