Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 237 Good News

"What's the matter?" Lu Shaohua asked Li Zekai.

"While my father and you are both here, I want to say something first. When this company is on the right track in the future, I hope I can leave." Li Zekai has his own plans. Although it is fulfilling to manage a company with a capital of 100 million Hong Kong dollars, that is not what he wants. After all, no matter how big Longteng grows or how much money it has, it does not belong to him.

Lu Shaohua smiled, his face full of smiles. An eagle will fly into the sky one day. Li Zekai is unwilling to be subordinate to others. It is only a matter of time before he starts his own business. Lu Shaohua knows this. Looking at the current situation, Lu Shaohua can guess that Li Zekai is willing to be the general manager of Longteng just to train himself and accumulate experience. To put it bluntly, Longteng is a springboard, a springboard that allows him to jump the highest.

Lu Shaohua didn't mind, not at all. He had no intention of letting him stay in Longteng forever. Little Superman would become a wealthy man in Hong Kong one day. This was history and Lu Shaohua could not change it.

"Haha! I know what you mean. You want to start your own business." Lu Shaohua revealed Li Zekai's thoughts in one sentence, and then continued after a pause. "I have no objection, but before you leave, you have to train someone who can take on the responsibility of Longteng."

Lu Shaohua agreed, and as a father, Li Jiacheng looked at his son and nodded in agreement. No one knows his son better than his father. Li Jiacheng knows exactly what his son is thinking, doing, and what he needs in the future. At the beginning, Lu Shaohua suggested that Li Zekai be the general manager of Longteng, and he agreed with the attitude of giving his son a chance to exercise.

Li Zekai did not speak, but looked at Lu Shaohua with gratitude in his eyes. He moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but unexpectedly Lu Shaohua interrupted him again.

"Haha! You want to talk to Mr. Huo about this, right?" After saying that, Lu Shaohua did not wait for Li Zekai to answer and asked himself. "No need to say it, Mr. Huo will agree. As a 'rich second generation', you must be enterprising, and you want to start your own business, which is enterprising. Mr. Huo will not say anything."

"..." Suddenly, Li Zekai didn't know what to say, as if Lu Shaohua had seen through all his thoughts. His evaluation of Lu Shaohua also rose a step, and a question also came to his mind. "Can Lu Shaohua really see through other people's minds?"

This question was destined to have no answer, so Lu Shaohua did not talk about it anymore. He changed the subject and started chatting about family matters.

Unconsciously, more than half an hour had passed, and the clock had jumped to half past eleven. Li Jiacheng stood up from his chair and said, "Let's go back. I think the meal will be ready soon."

"Hehe! Uncle Li, can you ask someone to cook more? There are five of us here alone." Lu Shaohua said jokingly. In fact, this sentence has another meaning. On the surface, it is true that Li Shangkui and the others are his bodyguards, but Lu Shaohua has never regarded them as bodyguards to block bullets, but as brothers.

Since they are brothers, no matter whether it is a meal or anything else, he cannot treat them as bodyguards. Even if it is Li Jiacheng's family dinner, he should sit with them. This shows Lu Shaohua's respect for them.

Li Jiacheng understood what Lu Shaohua meant immediately, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, I already calculated that there are five of you, so I guarantee there will be enough food. Haha, I'm just worried that you won't be able to finish it!"

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua laughed and said nothing, then walked outside with Li Zekai in the front row.

When they got downstairs, Li Jiacheng drove in his own car in front, Lu Shaohua followed behind, and Li Zekai did not drive his own car, but sat in Lu Shaohua's Rolls-Royce. The car drove smoothly on the street without even a little fluctuation, and Li Zekai could not help but sigh. "Wow! Rolls-Royce is different, it's really comfortable."

"Haha! Rolls-Royce, you will have it in the future. Not to mention just one, you will have eight or ten in the future." Lu Shaohua said with a smile.

"Thank you!" Without saying anything else, Li Zekai said these two words sincerely.

……

After having a happy lunch at Li Jiacheng's home, Lu Shaohua chatted for more than an hour before returning to his villa.

It had been more than a month since he came back from the Soviet Union. Since he had nothing to do, Lu Shaohua picked up the phone and called Chen Guobang to inquire about the situation there. The inquiry was not important, but he got good news, a good news that made Lu Shaohua extremely excited. There was progress in buying an aircraft carrier, and further negotiations were underway. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just a price negotiation.

The aircraft carrier technology is something Lu Shaohua is determined to obtain. Even if the price is a little higher, Lu Shaohua will not frown. Now that we have entered the stage of negotiating the price, it is already a success for Lu Shaohua. This is undoubtedly great news!

In addition to buying aircraft carriers, there is another piece of good news, which is the political and military forces. The political forces are developing very quickly. The people they have added are quite capable. In just a few months, they have quickly expanded their forces and trained a large number of talents in various departments. The military forces are a bit slower, because they are trained in secret, so they are only given money and then allowed to develop slowly, but it is also very fast.

Both forces developed in the direction that Lu Shaohua hoped for. Lu Shaohua only gave Chen Guobang an order, asking the political side to start "occupying" resources after reaching a certain strength. There was nothing else. As for the smuggling of daily necessities, Lu Shaohua did not ask, because he knew that with the relationship with the military and the political side, the development was smoother than before, and the scale was also slowly expanding.

"Brother, after you finish this last deal, train someone to succeed you. You've been in the Soviet Union for so many years, it's time to come back." Lu Shaohua said seriously. Lu Shaohua has a lot of family affection for Chen Guobang, and now that the situation over there is back on track, it's time to transfer him back. He is not young anymore and should start a family.

"Well, let's talk about it after this busy period." Chen Guobang said calmly on the other end of the phone. He was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something, and suddenly spoke again. "By the way, Xiaohua, there is something I need to tell you."

"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me." Lu Shaohua's voice became a little hurried.

"I met with the general a few days ago, and he mentioned the secret base. He seemed to know exactly what we were going to do. I feel very insecure!" Chen Guobang's cold and cruel voice came again.

"Well, it's normal for a leader to know about this, but he won't touch us now. Let's hold on for a while. The construction in Africa has already started. We'll move there when it's almost finished." Lu Shaohua's tone also became serious.

"Okay, I will try my best to deal with them and try to prevent them from attacking us." Chen Guobang said.

"Well, be careful and call me if anything happens."

"Okay, hang up."

.....

Lu Shaohua could guess what was going on in the Soviet Union, but this time there seemed to be a bit of tension. "Is this a warning?" Lu Shaohua guessed secretly.

After thinking about it, Lu Shaohua couldn't think of a second result, and finally determined that this was a warning. However, Lu Shaohua had no choice but to implement the plan he had formulated. The only thing he could do was to speed up the process in Africa.

I did it as soon as I thought of it. I picked up the phone and dialed Li Zhijie's number. Soon, Li Zhijie's voice came. "Hello!"

"It's Brother Zhijie, right? I'm Xiaohua." Lu Shaohua said lightly.

"Haha, it's Xiaohua! What's the matter?" Li Zhijie first laughed and then asked.

"Well, nothing, I just want to ask you about the situation over there?" Lu Shaohua asked into the phone.

"There are now more than a thousand mercenaries, and they are currently undergoing intensive training. The first batch of recruits have performed well after this period of training, and all their data have reached the expected goals. The training tasks are currently being intensified, and it won't be long before they can reach the capabilities of ordinary soldiers." Li Zhijie answered truthfully.

"Well, it looks pretty good, haha! Keep working hard. If necessary, pick out some with better qualities and focus on training them to create an ace team." Lu Shaohua first praised and then expressed his opinion.

"Haha! I have started implementing this a long time ago. I selected twenty people and Jianwei and I taught them hand in hand. Before long, you will be able to see a strong defensive team." Li Zhijie seemed a little proud.

"That's good!" Lu Shaohua said indifferently, and then changed the subject. "How is the construction of the base going?"

"Well, even if you don't ask me, I have to tell you that some time ago, Brother Guobang found several talents from the Soviet Union. According to their calculations, the cost of completing the project may exceed 30 billion US dollars." At this point, Li Zhijie paused and explained. "My location is quite remote, and I have to go to far away places to buy many construction materials. Some of them even require airplanes to buy, so the cost will be much higher."

"Money is not a problem. I will ask someone to send another 20 billion dollars. Tell those experts to design a more solid base, otherwise the whole base will be destroyed by a missile." Lu Shaohua didn't care about that. According to the plan at that time, he wanted to build a base that could withstand missiles. As for how much money it cost, he didn't care at all. "By the way, tell them to speed up. There is a bit of tension over there in the Soviet Union. We need to transfer talents to your side as soon as possible."

"Okay, I understand, I will tell them." Li Zhijie promised.

"Well, there's nothing else to say. Let's talk about the five-card team. How long will it take to reach the level where they can stand on their own?" Lu Shaohua asked again.

"Solo?" Li Zhijie on the other end of the phone seemed to be talking to himself, and after a while he continued. "I feel like I should be able to solo now, but what I lack is practical experience."

"Oh? Well, I'll give you a task." Lu Shaohua said seriously.

"Hey! There is a mission. Tell me quickly, what mission is it?" Li Zhijie revealed his warmongering nature at this time, and his voice became a little excited.
