Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 211: A General is Hard to Find

Lu Shaohua did not immediately tell the real purpose of his visit today, but asked first: "Have your former subordinates in Hong Kong come here?"

According to what Lin Qiquan told Lu Shaohua last time, it has been a few days since the people from Hong Kong came. Lu Shaohua guessed that they had already arrived, but he didn't dare to confirm it. He had to ask Lin Qiquan to find out!

"Well! They just arrived yesterday, three of them. Today I let them all take a day off, get familiar with the environment, and start working tomorrow." Lin Liuquan replied.

"That's good." After saying that, Lu Shaohua pondered for a moment and continued, "How about this, assign the task of building the manor to one of you, and the other two will go with you to the Baoan base to make preparations."

Everything has been resolved in Shenzhen. Without Lu Shaohua telling him, Chen Guobang knew that he had to bring talents to Shenzhen. After all, this matter had been agreed upon in the Soviet Union. Lu Shaohua told Chen Guobang in the morning that everything had been resolved in Shenzhen. I believe that Chen Guobang will bring the first batch of talents to Shenzhen in a few days. "Some technical talents will come in a few days. When the time comes, you have to discuss with them how to build the factory building of the base, and then start to do it."

"Okay, I understand." Lin Qiquan had already made preparations. He knew that the construction of the base in Bao'an would start soon, and he had been expanding the engineering team in the past few days.

"Well, I came here today just for this matter, and also to see if your family is used to living in Shenzhen. There is nothing else to do." Lu Shaohua really didn't have anything to do. Apart from the matters at the base, he really came to see Lin Qiquan's family. Just imagine, their family was living well in Hong Kong, but they moved to Shenzhen for Lu Shaohua's needs. As a boss, he didn't come to show concern, which seemed a bit disheartening.

"Yeah." Lin Qiquan nodded and changed the subject. "Do you want to meet my former subordinates? I rented a house for them not far away."

"Oh, I won't go. The base can start production while it is under construction. Now there are only technical talents but no management talents. I have to find management talents later." Lu Shaohua said the truth. It is not enough to have technical talents. There must also be management talents to set up a factory, and he plans to find this management talent in China.

"Okay then." Lin Qiquan seemed to understand Lu Shaohua's action and nodded.

"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'm leaving." After saying that, Lu Shaohua stood up from the chair, said something to Lin Qiquan's parents and his wife, and walked out the door.

……

If you want to find a management talent in Hong Kong, it should be an easy task, but Lu Shaohua does not plan to look for one in Hong Kong. He plans to find one in China. However, Lu Shaohua does not have any connections to use in China, so finding one may not be as easy as imagined!

Sitting in the car, Lu Shaohua closed his eyes and his mind raced, searching his memory to see if there was anyone suitable. However, after searching for a long time, it seemed that no one he knew was qualified for the position.

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with an answer. He sighed and said to Zhang Qingyun, "Brother Zhang, drive the car to Wende's restaurant and sit there for a while."

After saying this, Lu Shaohua wanted to close his eyes and think again, but suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. "Wait! Where did you say you were going?" Lu Shaohua said secretly in his heart. "Huh? Wende's restaurant, yes, how could I forget about him? Maybe he can help me find a suitable candidate."

"Brother Zhang, drive faster and go to the restaurant." Do it as soon as you think of it. Once you have an idea, you must seize the time to put it into action.

When he arrived at Weng Wende's restaurant, he saw that Weng Wende was not in the lobby, so he knew without a doubt that he must be in the office. Lu Shaohua ran to Weng Wende's office without saying anything. Sure enough, Weng Wende was really in the office.

"I say, could you please knock on the door before you come in?" Weng Wende said as if he was very angry, but after he finished the whole sentence, his face was full of smiles.

"Tsk!" Lu Shaohua knew him very well and looked at him with contempt. "Oh, well! I came to ask you for help."

"Wow! There are times when the 'child prodigy' also asks for help. How rare! Yes, very rare." Weng Wende said with a smile.

Lu Shaohua was speechless. What was going on? He rolled his eyes at Weng Wende and said, "Okay, okay, I have something important to do. Let's be serious."

There was no way. If he didn't act more serious, Weng Wende would keep joking. Sure enough, looking at Lu Shaohua's expression, as if he really had something serious to say, Weng Wende also became serious and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."

Nodding with satisfaction, Lu Shaohua then expressed his idea of ​​hiring a production base administrator. To be called a manager, one must have management capabilities, and Weng Wende knew this without Lu Shaohua saying more.

"How big is your base?" Weng Wende asked cautiously.

"Haha! I can't really explain it. It doesn't look big now, but it will grow bigger and bigger in the future. As for how big it will be, I'm not sure." Lu Shaohua said truthfully.

……

……

Weng Wende fell into deep thought, seemingly searching for a suitable candidate.

Time passed in silence, and ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, Weng Wende suddenly opened his eyes, his expression was a little hard, and he said a little uncertainly: "I do have a candidate, a cousin of mine, who I heard just returned from studying in the United States two years ago. Oh, he studied business management in the United States. I haven't seen him for a long time, I don't know if he can do it."

"Oh! He's an international student?" Lu Shaohua looked at Weng Wende meaningfully, as if to say to Weng Wende, 'You have such an awesome cousin!' "Can you contact him? I want to meet him."

When it comes to managing the base, Lu Shaohua chooses to handle it with caution. He doesn't need useless people, people without management skills, or people who have a lot of knowledge but cannot apply it in reality.

"It should be possible to contact him, but do you really want to meet him?" Weng Wende looked at Lu Shaohua and asked, and the latter nodded. "Okay, I'll call my aunt now and find him, but I have to explain in advance that my cousin seems to be two years older than me, so he's a little young."

Lu Shaohua could see that Weng Wende was taking precautions. He was afraid that when his cousin came, Lu Shaohua would judge him as not competent because he looked younger. But was Lu Shaohua that kind of person? Now the management of the Phoenix Group in Hong Kong seemed to be all young people. "As long as he is capable, it's better if he is younger. Young people are more motivated, right?"

"Oh, you talk as if you are very old and you are so energetic as young people. I despise you." Weng Wende really couldn't stand it anymore. Lu Shaohua was obviously only in his teens, but he talked as mature as if he was in his 40s or 50s. He was not used to it.

"Bullshit, call them quickly." Lu Shaohua scolded with a smile.

Finally, Lu Shaohua stayed in Weng Wende's office for an entire afternoon, chatting and gossiping. During this time, Weng Wende also called his cousin whom he hadn't seen for more than a year. Coincidentally, his cousin was still working in Shenzhen, but he was in Shekou, Nanshan District. It would take at least an hour for him to come here, so he had no choice but to make an appointment to meet tomorrow.

It wouldn't be a big deal if it was delayed for one or two days. As long as he was a real talent, Lu Shaohua would feel it was worth it even if he had to wait for eight or ten days. After all, money is easy to get, but a general is hard to find!

"I hope this person won't let me down." Lu Shaohua said secretly in his heart.

……

The next morning, at about ten o'clock, Weng Wende came to the fruit shop and found Lu Shaohua, saying that his cousin was already in his restaurant, and asked Lu Shaohua to come and talk to him. Lu Shaohua naturally agreed, since he had nothing else to do anyway.

When he arrived at Weng Wende's office, Lu Shaohua finally met the cousin that Weng Wende had mentioned. Yesterday, he had learned from Weng Wende that his cousin's name was Chu Lei, and he was an extremely serious person.

Hearing about someone is not as good as meeting him in person. Just as Weng Wende said, Chu Lei was indeed very serious, with a sullen face, as if someone owed him millions. When he saw Lu Shaohua come in, he just nodded slightly, and nothing else happened after that.

"Haha! You are Brother Wende's cousin, so I'll call you cousin too." Lu Shaohua said with a smile, regardless of Chu Lei's dark face.

"Yeah!" Chu Lei nodded.

After the greeting, Lu Shaohua went straight to the point and introduced the situation of the Baoan production base, including the plans for automobile, computer and some electronic production that will be launched soon. After the introduction, Lu Shaohua asked: "All the technical talents I recruited are from the Soviet Union. As a top management, it is inevitable to communicate with some technical talents, so English must be passed. Of course, it would be better if you can speak Russian."

"I have no problem with English, but I don't know Russian." Chu Lei answered simply.

Seeing that he answered so calmly, Lu Shaohua believed that this person was definitely not simple. He believed in his own judgment and believed that he would not make a mistake. From the time he entered the door until now, Lu Shaohua's eyes had never left Chu Lei's face. The first impression Chu Lei gave him was that he was steady and calm. As for his management ability, Lu Shaohua had to wait for him to slowly develop it. However, if his management ability was not strong, it was no problem at all, because if he was not good at management, he could learn it slowly. The most important thing was his personality. If he was not calm in dealing with things, no matter how strong his management ability was, it would be useless.

Although management ability is not important, Lu Shaohua does not want someone who knows nothing, so Lu Shaohua asked Chu Lei to talk about corporate management, which could be considered an interview. However, it seems that today's appointment with him was originally an interview. Chu Lei also knew that today was an interview because Weng Wende had mentioned this matter yesterday through his aunt, who is also Chu Lei's mother.

It is undeniable that Chu Lei has a lot of insights into business management. From his words and sentences, we can tell that he is quite good at management.

Since the handling and management aspects were cleared, Lu Shaohua had a plan in mind, so he asked directly: "Are you willing to come over and help?"

Chu Lei glanced at Lu Shaohua, moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about something.

Chu Lei neither agreed nor refused. Lu Shaohua knew that his invitation was too sudden and he might not be able to react for a while. But it didn't matter. Lu Shaohua gave him time to think about it. As for whether he was willing to come or not, it was his business.
