Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 234 New Mission

There are indeed a lot of things that Ho Ying-tung has to consider. Letting him serve as the chairman is not as simple as a matter of the interests of their Ho family. Hong Kong has not yet returned to China, and it is difficult to open up the domestic market. There are many checkpoints, not to mention Hong Kong, where general checkpoints are still easy to get through. However, it is not that simple in the mainland. Although Ho Ying-tung is a vice chairman of the CPPCC in China, all problems cannot be solved with just a few words.

After much deliberation, for the sake of domestic economic development, Ho Ying-tung decided to take on this challenge and this important task. "Everyone has said so, so I will not refuse. I hope you can make every effort to cooperate with each other and unite to develop the domestic market."

As soon as Ho Ying-Tong said this, everyone present laughed and applauded.

Huo Yingdong stopped the applause with his hands and said, "As the saying goes, there is no order without rules. Since we have organized a chamber of commerce, we have to set some rules, and we also need to come up with a name."

"Yes, give it a name and set rules." One person said cheerfully.

Someone spoke up, and then everyone came out to express their opinions. The first thing was to come up with a name. It was not difficult to come up with a name, as none of the people sitting inside had low intelligence. Soon, Li Jiacheng proposed the name "Huaxia Chamber of Commerce", which was supported by everyone.

Now that we have a name, setting the rules is not as easy as we imagined. However, now that Henry Fok is the chairman, he has to propose each rule one by one, and then get the consent of everyone present before it can be truly finalized.

Lu Shaohua did not express any opinions from the beginning to the end, but just listened quietly. Every time Huo Yingdong proposed a rule, he thought for a while and then nodded to indicate that he had no objection. Huo Yingdong was more experienced in this regard, and the rules he proposed were very reasonable and fair, and also conducive to mutual cooperation.

"Well, let me say the last thing." After a pause, as if giving everyone some time to react, Huo Yingdong continued. "I personally think that since we have established the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, and you are all members of the Chamber of Commerce, if there are projects that need to be looked for partners, the Chamber of Commerce members must be given priority. If both parties cannot reach a consensus, then look for the object that the members think of. What do you think?"

This is a rule that has been in place since the beginning of the Chamber of Commerce. That is to say, if there is a project, first look to see if there is anyone in the Chamber of Commerce who can cooperate. If so, both parties will negotiate for cooperation. If cooperation fails, then look for another partner.

"I agree. Aren't we setting up this chamber of commerce so that everyone can work more closely together? If we don't even give priority to our own members, but instead look for others first, what's the point of setting up this chamber of commerce?" This time Lu Shaohua spoke.

"Yes, what Mr. Lu Shaohua said is absolutely right. If that's the case, we might as well not set up this chamber of commerce." A company CEO spoke up to agree with Lu Shaohua's opinion, and his tone was extremely serious.

"I support."

"I have nothing to say, I agree."

"Me too, I agree."

……

Finally, this rule was passed by unanimous vote. With the rule and the name, the next thing was some trivial matters, such as finding a place to serve as the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce. Everyone present had a net worth of hundreds of millions and owned a lot of real estate. Finally, a CEO donated his office building in a certain place as the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce.

Just as Ho Ying-Tong said, establishing the Hua Xia Chamber of Commerce was a great feat. Obviously, everyone realized this and was quite excited. Everyone contributed to perfecting the overall structure of the entire chamber of commerce, and it was not until nearly eleven o'clock in the evening that everything was finalized.

The Huo family's banquet had ended long ago. When everyone walked out of the small living room, there were only a few people there. There were only some servants of the Huo family who were cleaning up things outside the open-air banquet.

Except for Lu Shaohua, everyone else was over fifty years old. It was nearly eleven o'clock in the evening. They should have fallen asleep early, but they had delayed until now to set up the Chamber of Commerce. So when they walked out, they said goodbye and went back. Lu Shaohua did the same. As soon as he came out, Lu Shaohua took Chen Li back to the villa.

……

Nothing happened that night. The Chamber of Commerce planned by Lu Shaohua was successfully established, paving the way for his future plans. So he fell into a sweet sleep after returning to the villa and did not wake up naturally until nine o'clock the next morning.

After washing up and eating some breakfast, Lu Shaohua sat down on the sofa in the hall. Chen Li was watching TV in the hall as well. When she saw Lu Shaohua coming over, she said, "Xiaohua, Mom is going back to her hometown tomorrow. She has been away for more than a week. I wonder how messy the house is now."

Although Chen Li was very happy to be out, she was always thinking about the situation at home. Now she has traveled around Shenzhen and Hong Kong. She has been to all the places she should go. It is time to go home, otherwise the housework at home will become a mess.

Lu Shaohua knew his mother, she wanted to go back, Lu Shaohua didn't say anything, nodded to show his agreement and said, "Since mom is going back tomorrow, let's go out and buy some things today, and we can bring them back then."

Chen Li had no objection. It was necessary to bring some things back when going out. Knowing that Lu Shaohua was rich, she no longer said to save money where necessary, because she knew that the building of Phoenix Group alone was enough for their family to live a wealthy life for the rest of their lives.

For the whole day, Lu Shaohua took Chen Li to visit various stores and shopping malls in Kowloon, buying all the food and clothes. They did not return to their villa until they had dinner outside in the evening.

The next day, Lu Shaohua got up early because his mother Chen Li was going back to her hometown, so he had to come and see her off. However, this time he was going to Shenzhen. After arriving in Shenzhen, Lu Shaohua asked Yang Yang to drive the Rolls-Royce to take Chen Li home, while he himself drove the bulletproof Mercedes to the Bao'an base.

The speed of base construction was getting faster and faster. Lu Shaohua took a walk inside and chatted with Lin Qiquan for a while. Then he hurried back to Hong Kong. The first thing he did after returning to Hong Kong was to go to Phoenix Building. Now that the Chamber of Commerce was to be established, Lu Shaohua had to tell Liu Mingzhang and let him fully participate in this matter.

"Mingzhang, you know about the Chamber of Commerce. Please keep in touch with Mr. Huo. If there is any help we can provide, please do our best." Lu Shaohua said seriously. He was the head of this Chamber of Commerce. Although the president was Huo Yingdong, Lu Shaohua could not stay out of it.

"Yes, I understand." Liu Mingzhang responded.

"Well, let me talk about another thing next." After a pause, Lu Shaohua continued. "The night before yesterday, I reached a cooperation project with Mr. Huo and Li Chaoren. The three of us will invest in a venture capital company. Phoenix will invest 3000 million Hong Kong dollars. You have to prepare this money first, so that it can be transferred quickly when the time comes."

"Well, I'll ask the finance department to prepare it first." Liu Mingzhang was still in charge of the company's finances. He only had to say anything and the people below would automatically do it. What's more, 3000 million Hong Kong dollars was just a small number for Phoenix Group.

"It's up to you to handle this matter. Also, after the registration is successful, a press conference will be held, and you can go and attend it then." Lu Shaohua said lightly.

It was necessary for the company formed by the Huo family, the Li family, and the Phoenix Group to hold a press conference. This was also part of the discussion between Lu Shaohua and Huo Yingdong. As long as the press conference was held, the influence would definitely be extraordinary. Moreover, it was not an exaggeration to describe the influence of the three companies in Hong Kong as pivotal. Even if it was just one company, it would have a great influence. Moreover, the total investment was 1 million Hong Kong dollars. This was not the 21st century. 1 million Hong Kong dollars was an astronomical figure for some people. It was obvious that this news would definitely become explosive news. Lu Shaohua could foresee that the headlines on the front page the next day after the press conference would definitely be something like "Hong Kong's three giants stand on the same front" or "Strong alliance".

"Well, there is no problem with that. Facing reporters is a common thing." Liu Mingzhang said with a smile, and then changed the subject and asked, "Should our group send someone to manage this venture capital company?"

"No need. Superman Li invested 4000 million Hong Kong dollars and holds 40% of the shares, and gave full authority to his son Li Zekai to manage. Not only will we at Phoenix not send anyone, but the Huo family will also not send anyone." Lu Shaohua waved his hand and said.

Lu Shaohua believes in Li Zekai's ability and letting him take full charge of the management will help him to bring out his talents. If some outsiders are brought in, sometimes due to different opinions and objections, it will seem to be a hindrance and not conducive to unity.

"Yeah, I understand." Liu Mingzhang knew what Lu Shaohua meant and didn't say anything more.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do. Tell me about the company's situation these days." As he spoke, Lu Shaohua leaned back in his chair, ready to listen to Liu Mingzhang's report.

"There's nothing wrong with the company. The recruitment notice you mentioned last time about recruiting some talents in the field of tea beverages was sent out the day before yesterday. However, there are not many people in this field, and there are very few applicants. Those who do apply are not very good, so we haven't found any so far." Liu Mingzhang told Lu Shaohua the situation truthfully.

"Take your time. There's no rush. I don't believe that Hong Kong doesn't have a single talent in this field." Lu Shaohua really didn't believe it and said angrily.

"Well, there are fewer applicants in this field, but the job of recruiting an executive president can be described as terrifying. I don't know how many resumes the human resources department receives in a day." Liu Mingzhang said with a wry smile.

Phoenix Group is a dream job for people in Hong Kong. Not only is the salary high, but the benefits are also the best in Hong Kong. More importantly, there is one more thing, which is the future. Phoenix Group is undoubtedly a very promising group.

Lu Shaohua also smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had thought about this situation before, but from Liu Mingzhang's tone, it seemed that it was beyond his expectations. "You guys can screen the resumes and hand them over to me in the end. I will then decide who to choose."

"Okay." Without saying anything more, Liu Mingzhang nodded.

"Well, let's just leave it at that." Lu Shaohua made the final decision and changed the subject. "How are the troops you lead?"

"Everything went well. Following Soros in his campaigns, the profits were huge." Liu Mingzhang said happily.

Lu Shaohua knew that following Soros to do business was profitable, and a high return was a must, so he nodded calmly, thought for a moment, and said, "Just let the people below continue to follow Soros, and as for you, I have another task for you."

"Oh? Mission? What mission?" Liu Mingzhang became a little excited at the end. He was sure that this was another big operation, but he didn't know the content of the operation.
