Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 221 Banquet Invitation

"Okay, let me announce this next." Lu Shaohua paused and said, "In Shenzhen, our company has officially started the project of developing computers, cars, and electronic products, and we need to do everything well in Hong Kong. In the future, we will use Hong Kong as a springboard to go global."

Hong Kong is a springboard for entering and exiting Asia, and it is also a springboard for Lu Shaohua to export his products to the world. These were decided shortly after Lu Shaohua was reborn. If he wanted to break out to the world in China, he would have to wait for several years, but Lu Shaohua could not wait any longer and could only choose Hong Kong as a transit point. Hong Kong, known as one of the Four Asian Tigers, has opportunities and other aspects that are incomparable to those in China. It will be easier to go global through this springboard.

The project in Bao'an, Shenzhen has just started, but Lu Shaohua believes that the time to produce the first batch of products is not far away. Many of the top technical talents come from the Soviet Union, which gives Lu Shaohua great confidence. It may take a few months, or even a year or two to produce mature products, and this period of time is exactly the time for Hong Kong to prepare.

If you don't fly, you will soar into the sky. If you don't sing, you will make a stunning sound and break the world. This is what Lu Shaohua wants, either do nothing, or make a stunning sound, burst out all at once, and let all industries bloom.

Liu Mingzhang The four of them were all stunned, and then surprised. All along, Lu Shaohua had not told them what he had done in Shenzhen, but they never expected that he would enter the fields of automobiles, computers, and electronics.

After being surprised, Liu Mingzhang quickly recovered and asked with doubt, "These aspects are all high-tech, and it seems that a lot of technical talents are needed."

Liu Mingzhang did not choose to speak directly, but instead asked indirectly. His real purpose was to ask where Lu Shaohua's technical talents came from.

Lu Shaohua had great trust in Liu Mingzhang, who had been with him the earliest, so he naturally would not hide anything from him, nor did he need to. Lu Shaohua also trusted Li Yunqing and the other three, so it was okay to let them know. "Soviet Union."

The two gave Liu Mingzhang's answer, and also gave the answer to Li Yunqing and the other three. Only then did they understand why Lu Shaohua tried every means to avoid people's sight, transferred to Japan and then went to the Soviet Union.

Liu Mingzhang and others were senior executives of the company. Paying attention to the news was a compulsory course for them. Naturally, they knew the extent of the chaos in the Soviet Union. However, what they wanted to know more was why Lu Shaohua was able to recruit technical talents from the Soviet Union. However, this was destined to be unanswered. This involved Lu Shaohua's core secrets, and the fewer people knew about it, the better.

“Okay, I’m telling you all this today because this is the company’s future development direction. As senior executives, you should know about it and try your best to be prepared. When the time comes, the company’s sudden launch of a product will definitely be a focus and may bring certain impacts to the company.” In addition to telling Liu Mingzhang and others about the company’s development direction, Lu Shaohua also wanted to sound the alarm for them and prepare them to meet challenges.

Obviously, the four of them understood what Lu Shaohua meant and nodded seriously.

"Yes!" Lu Shaohua nodded and said, "There is nothing else to do. I will take my mother to visit the company tomorrow. I want to meet the manager of the sales subsidiary company. Mingzhang, please arrange it."

So far, Lu Shaohua has not met the manager of the sales subsidiary. As for this manager named Xu Jiarui, Lu Shaohua has only seen him from his profile. He still remembers that when Liu Mingzhang wanted to recruit him, he specially reported the profile to Lu Shaohua. Later, it was Lu Shaohua who personally decided to promote him to manager.

Phoenix Sales is like the "axe" in Lu Shaohua's hand, splitting a path in the market so that future products can quickly occupy the market smoothly and quickly through this path. So Lu Shaohua had to meet this manager whom he had never met before, and also formulate the future development direction of the company. As for the details, he had to slowly play his role.

Everyone chatted in the small living room for a while, and Liu Mingzhang and the others went back one after another, while Lu Shaohua went downstairs to chat with Yang Long and the others. Unknowingly, it was time for lunch, and Yang Jianlong suggested going out to eat. Of course, he had an excuse. As a local Hong Konger, Chen Li came from her hometown, so he had to do his best to be a good host.

Lu Shaohua had no objection, but could he let Yang Jianlong pay for it? Of course he couldn't. Before they finished their meal, Lu Shaohua went to pay for it first. As long as Yang Jianlong was willing, it was fine. As for whether he would pay for it or not, as the behind-the-scenes boss of Phoenix Group, he didn't like to let others pay for it.

After lunch, Yang Jianlong and his wife returned to their home, and Lu Shaohua and his family also returned to their villa. After returning to the villa, Lu Shaohua asked Chen Li to take a nap, and he himself was already used to riding in the car, and didn't feel tired at all. He lay alone on the sofa in the living room, watching some news.

It is easiest to fall asleep while lying down and watching TV. Soon, Lu Shaohua's eyes closed unconsciously, and he wanted to sleep without any warning. But just after closing his eyes, the ringing of the phone in the living room brought Lu Shaohua back to his senses. He walked to the phone and picked up the receiver. "Hello! Who is this?"

"It's me, Mingzhang. I just received an invitation from the Huo family. They are holding a banquet this Sunday. They thought you were not in Hong Kong, so they sent the invitation to me. Are you interested in going?" Liu Mingzhang said on the other end of the phone.

"Oh? The Huo family?"

"Well, I just received the invitation. I heard that all the participants are celebrities from Hong Kong's business community." Liu Mingzhang said with a smile.

Lu Shaohua was silent for a while. He wanted to go, but there were only two days left before the banquet, and Chen Li was coming to Hong Kong. He couldn't just leave his mother and go to the banquet alone. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's talk about this later. I'll call Mr. Huo later."

After saying that, Lu Shaohua hung up the phone. It was reasonable for him to thank Mr. Huo. This time, the goods shipped from the Soviet Union could be transported to Hong Kong quickly and without obstruction. Mr. Huo had helped him a lot.

After a while, Lu Shaohua didn't think much about it. He picked up the phone and dialed the Huo family's number. Soon the call was connected. A very steady voice came from the other end. Lu Shaohua knew it was Huo Yingdong, so he spoke. "Hello! Mr. Huo, I'm Lu Shaohua!"

"Haha! It's you! What? Are you coming to Hong Kong?" asked Ho Ying-tung.

"Yes, I just came here this morning." After saying that, Lu Shaohua paused and said, "I called you this time mainly to thank you for your help, otherwise the goods would not have been transported to Hong Kong so smoothly."

"It's a small matter. If you still consider me a fellow countryman, don't mention it, haha!" Huo Yingdong said cheerfully, as if he didn't care about the matter at all. "By the way, I'm going to hold a banquet this Sunday. Can you come and attend it? It will be helpful to meet some business celebrities in the future."

"Haha! Well, hey! How should I put it? This time I came to Hong Kong, my mother also came with me. As a son, I have to take her around, so I may not have time by then." Lu Shaohua said directly.

"Haha, you are really a filial son." Huo Yingdong first praised Lu Shaohua on the phone, then changed the subject and said seriously, "How difficult is this? I will now formally invite your mother, and I will come with you when the time comes!"

Before he finished speaking, Huo Yingdong did not wait for Lu Shaohua to reply, and continued, "To be honest, I really want to see what kind of mother can raise a child like you."

This was what Ho Ying-tung really thought. He had always been curious about Lu Shaohua. What kind of parents and what kind of environment could have created a teenager who could accumulate hundreds of billions of dollars in wealth in just a few years?

At that time, he thought that Phoenix Group was just a group with several billion dollars. But later, he learned from the senior officials in China that Lu Shaohua's real wealth was far more than the number on the surface. Huo Yingdong didn't believe it anymore, saying that several billion was already a huge number. But the facts were in front of him, so he had to believe it, because the senior officials showed him a top-secret document, which contained data on Lu Shaohua's stock market crash in 89, from land grabbing to buying high. As for the later buying low, it was unknown, but it was scary enough, because Lu Shaohua had already made more than billion in the first wave of buying high. Of course, those data were also calculated by Huo Yingdong himself, and the specific figures were unknown.

All signs indicate that Lu Shaohua is a genius in the stock market, but how did such a genius come about? This is a mystery, a mystery that makes people want to know the truth.

Lu Shaohua did not speak. He was thinking whether it was okay to take Chen Li to the banquet. The celebrities in Hong Kong all followed the British customs and paid attention to aristocratic etiquette. It was not that Lu Shaohua was afraid of being embarrassed, but that Lu Shaohua did not want to see his mother being uncomfortable. Moreover, Lu Shaohua was very disdainful of those who paid attention to aristocracy. As a Chinese, he forgot the culture left by his ancestors and learned from others.

However, since Mr. Huo had personally invited him, Lu Shaohua couldn't just refuse. After thinking for a while, he said, "Thank you for Mr. Huo's invitation. I will go with my mother when the time comes. But my mother is not used to that kind of occasion. I think there is no need to interact with people after I participate."

Lu Shaohua's meaning was very clear. Even if he went, he would not hang out with those business celebrities.

"Haha! That's no problem. I'll treat you to a private family dinner later." Grandpa Huo's voice was still as cheerful as ever.

"Haha! That's settled then." Young Master Lu also laughed. "Oh! By the way, um, um, Mr. Huo, I have another thing I want to ask you for help with!"

"Oh? Don't be so polite. Just tell me what you need. I will definitely help you if I can."
