Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 231: Powerful Alliance

Although he paid attention to the news in Hong Kong, there weren't many that could interest Lu Shaohua. But when he saw the TV just now, Lu Shaohua focused all his energy on it. He picked up the remote control and slowly turned up the volume so that he could hear more clearly what was being said.

The TV screen showed a woman in a sexy suspender pajamas lying quietly on the ground on a street, her head facing the ground, her left leg slightly bent, and her hands in a very weird posture. There was a lot of blood on the ground around her head, and it was obvious that she was dead.

People die every day in Hong Kong, and Lu Shaohua is used to seeing these things, which do not interest him. What really piqued his interest was the moment when the TV screen shifted to the face of a woman lying on the ground. Lu Shaohua knew the woman, who was none other than the saleswoman at the jewelry counter named Xiaoli.

When he first saw it, Lu Shaohua was dumbfounded, then shocked, and then smiled bitterly. Seeing Xiaoli lying on the ground, it was obvious that she had jumped to death. Why did she jump to death? Lu Shaohua knew why without thinking.

"It seems that Li Dahai is also a ruthless character!" Lu Shaohua muttered to himself. In Lu Shaohua's opinion, Yongsheng Jewelry was maliciously hyped by Phoenix Finance, and the loss was certain, and the cause of this situation was the dead Xiaoli.

What made Lu Shaohua smile bitterly was the announcement on TV, which said that according to the police's preliminary investigation, it was a suicide case and the possibility of homicide had been ruled out. The word homicide was so ridiculous in Lu Shaohua's eyes. If it were normal, Lu Shaohua would still think it might be suicide, but those who knew about this matter knew that Xiaoli had become the target of Li Dahai's anger, and the price of bearing Li Dahai's anger was death.

With a bitter smile, he shook his head and didn't watch TV. Lu Shaohua didn't feel sorry for Xiaoli. Trouble comes from the mouth. If you want to blame someone, blame her for not keeping her mouth shut. She didn't realize the fragility of life and thought she had a useless backer so she dared to offend people everywhere. It's not that Lu Shaohua is cold-blooded or unkind, but that Lu Shaohua knows a truth: he has to pay the price for the trouble he caused. It's just that the price Xiaoli paid was a little higher.

Although Xiaoli paid the price of her death, Lu Shaohua was not afraid that Li Dahai would take revenge on him. Even if Li Dahai had a hundred guts, he would not dare to retaliate against Lu Shaohua. Once he really retaliated, Li Dahai's fate might be no different from that of Xiaoli who was lying quietly on the ground.

……

After calming down and not thinking about those unimportant things, he took Chen Li in the car to continue their trip to Hong Kong. According to Chen Li, she would go back to her hometown after playing for a few more days and attending the Huo family's family dinner. Although she had a good time in Shenzhen and then in Hong Kong, she still missed her home.

After today, the Huo family will hold a banquet tomorrow, which means that after visiting Hong Kong today, they will prepare to attend the banquet tomorrow. Chen Li will only stay in Hong Kong for two more days before leaving and returning to her hometown. As a son, Lu Shaohua can only try his best to let Chen Li see more of this beautiful city of Hong Kong in these few short days.

In fact, it is better to say that strolling around Hong Kong is sitting in a Rolls-Royce and looking through the window at the buildings on both sides of the street. Sometimes when you see a shopping mall or something like that, you might get out of the car to see what there is to buy, but most of the time you just stroll around and don't actually buy anything. Even if Lu Shaohua wanted to buy something, Chen Li would stop him. The words "don't spend money indiscriminately" blocked Lu Shaohua, and he could only shake his head helplessly and let Chen Li decide.

The day passed quickly. When I returned to the villa in the evening, Liu Mingzhang had already arrived. He came to deliver diamond jewelry. Knowing that Lu Shaohua would attend the Huo family's banquet tomorrow night, he had to deliver the jewelry today.

"Aren't you going in?" Lu Shaohua asked.

"I'm not going in. I have something else to do." Liu Mingzhang shook his head and then said, "By the way, the Huo family has also invited me this time. Should I go with you or alone?"

"Let's go alone. I don't want too many people to know my identity right now." Lu Shaohua answered without thinking. Lu Shaohua did not plan to show up in public when attending the Huo family's banquet this time.

"Okay, then I'll go back first." After saying that, Liu Mingzhang got into his car and drove away.

……

The banquet was to start at 8pm, and the guests would set out before pm, gather together and wait for it to start. However, Lu Shaohua did not want to wait until the evening, so he chose to go a few hours early to avoid being seen.

At 5pm, Lu Shaohua took Chen Li, who had already changed into a dress and diamond jewelry, to the Rolls-Royce again. Before leaving, Lu Shaohua told Chen Li about the background of the Huo family. Chen Li was a little surprised at first, but then Lu Shaohua calmed her down. "Mom, just act normally. The Huo family has a strong background in Hong Kong, but they still have to give me some face in the business world. Besides, his ancestral home is in Guangdong, so he is half a fellow countryman. Acting normally will actually add a sense of intimacy."

"Haha! You little brat, I know your company has a great influence in Hong Kong, but you can't be too arrogant." Chen Li scolded with a smile, and then gave Lu Shaohua a lecture.

Arrogant? Lu Shaohua has never been arrogant. He knows that there are always people better than you and there are always mountains better than you. He will never underestimate a potential enemy. As for the attitude towards the Huo family, Lu Shaohua made friends with them with a sincere attitude. As for how the Huo family made friends with him, it was not his business.

Lu Shaohua smiled and said nothing. He pulled Chen Li into the car and told Zhang Qingyun to drive. Although Chen Li had only been in Hong Kong for a few days, she knew a lot, especially Liu Mingzhang, a person who often appeared on TV. A person who often appeared on TV turned out to be her son's subordinate. What kind of existence was the Phoenix Group in Hong Kong? Chen Li knew it even if she didn't want to use it.

The car set out from the villa and arrived at the Huo family's villa in less than a few minutes. This time, it was Huo Zhenyu who came to greet Lu Shaohua and the others. After the last incident, it seemed that the Huo family also realized that Li Shangkui and the others were not ordinary people, so when Li Shangkui and the others got out of the car, they just looked around and opened the door, and did not find any danger.

After exchanging pleasantries with Huo Zhenyu, the group went into the villa. Mr. Huo and Li Jiacheng were both there. On the other side of the sofa sat two somewhat old women who looked like noble ladies dressed like they were.

Seeing Lu Shaohua and Chen Li coming in, Mr. Huo laughed twice as a greeting before asking them to sit down. With so many people sitting together, it was inevitable to introduce them. During the introduction, Lu Shaohua also got to know the two old ladies, one was the wife of Huo Yingdong, and the other was the wife of Li Jiacheng. With the two ladies, Chen Li seemed much more relaxed, chatting with them on the side, while Lu Shaohua sat aside and chatted with Mr. Huo and Li Jiacheng.

"Xiaohua, I see that your Phoenix Group is developing so rapidly. Please give me a hand when you have the chance." Li Jiacheng said with a smile on his face.

According to Lu Shaohua, the reason why Li Jiacheng is called Superman Li by all Hong Kong people is that he has his own way of operating in the capital market. It is this way that has made his assets increase several times or even dozens of times.

"Haha, Uncle Superman, your Yangtze River seems to be developing faster than my Phoenix. It's almost like you're helping me." Lu Shaohua turned the tables on Li Jiacheng.

"Ah! Compared with your Phoenix, my Yangtze River is nothing. There is no comparison, no comparison." Li Jiacheng said with some emotion.

“…” Lu Shaohua was speechless.

"Okay, both of you stop talking. Xiaohua's Phoenix Group has been developing very fast in recent times. It is no exaggeration to say that it has blossomed all over the place. And the speed of your Cheung Kong Industries, Jiacheng, is obvious to all. So don't cry and say it's slow. Our Fok family is the slowest. You see, we walk like a turtle. In one word, slow. In two words, too slow." Fok Ying-tung looked very pitiful at the end.

As soon as he said this, two eye rolls came over him. Hearing Huo Yingdong's tone and facial expression, Lu Shaohua blurted out four words: "Disrespecting the elderly."

"That's right, he is disrespectful to his elders. He is already very old, but he pretends to be wronged like a child." Li Jiacheng also turned his gun around and stood on the same front with Lu Shaohua, pointing the gun at Ho Ying-tung.

“……”This time it was Ho Ying-Tong’s turn to be speechless.

The three of them forgot their identities and ages, and chatted carefreely. At this time, they were undoubtedly chatting with an equal mentality, occasionally joking around, and as long as one of them pretended to be pitiful, the other two would immediately aim their guns at that person and shoot.

"By the way, Xiaohua, if you have time next time, come to Changjiang and I will introduce my youngest son to you, so that he can learn from you." Li Jiacheng said with a smile.

Lu Shaohua knew who Li Ka-shing's youngest son was. Lu Shaohua was also looking forward to meeting Li Zekai, who was known as the Little Superman. Li Zekai could be said to have worked hard in his career without relying on his father Li Ka-shing. In ten years, he won the title of Little Superman and was said to be the second richest man in Hong Kong. "Haha, I will definitely go to the old company to learn in a few days."

"No, no, no. My company doesn't dare to let you, the boss of Phoenix Group, go to learn. It's better for me to go to your group to learn." Li Jiacheng waved his hand and said.

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua laughed. He was also joking. It's not like we were going to learn. Every company has its own way of operating. What works in your company may not work in other places. "Okay, no more joking. It's rare for us to get together today. I think we should find a project to cooperate on and join forces!"

Lu Shaohua's idea is very simple. His Phoenix Group is now mainly developing its own fields, and he has not participated in other fields. Now the opportunity has come. He can cooperate with the Huo family and the Li family on some projects, which will not only enable rapid development, but also increase the relationship between them.

"Well, I agree. We should join forces. But are there any projects we can cooperate on?" Li Jiacheng nodded and said.

"Well, I agree too, but what aspect of this project should be done well?" Ho Ying-tung also said.

Yes, everyone agrees with cooperation, but the cooperation projects must exist.

"Well, let's think about it and see if there are any projects with prospects." Lu Shaohua said lightly, and then he fell into thought.

Li Jiacheng also began to think.

The same goes for Henry Fok.

After a long time, Lu Shaohua suddenly became alert and a smile appeared on his face, as if he had found a good project.
