Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 245: Large-scale Equipment Purchase

Lu Shaohua was excited for a whole week about the aircraft carrier technology. One morning a week later, Chen Guobang called Lu Shaohua again to tell him that all the technical data had been secretly shipped to the mercenary base in Africa. So far, the aircraft carrier was truly in his hands, and Lu Shaohua felt relieved after this phone call.

If the military is willing to sell aircraft carrier technology, then there is no problem in purchasing other technologies. Still according to the original idea, all the purchased technologies will be transferred to Africa. It is also to purchase other technologies that Lu Shaohua allocated another 30 billion US dollars to Chen Guobang, intending to make a large purchase.

Although the Soviet Union is in turmoil now, the senior military officials are not stupid. Other things can be sold at a low price, but those military technologies are not easy to come by. They will not be sold to you at any price. You have to pay according to the international value. Fortunately, Chen Guobang has done several business deals with them, so they are willing to sell. Otherwise, it would depend on them whether to sell or not.

In order to purchase military technology, Lu Shaohua has spent nearly 50 billion US dollars, including the current 30 billion US dollars, but he has no complaints. He knows that these technologies will bring him far more than 50 billion in the future.

Chen Guobang knew how to deal with military technology, so Lu Shaohua naturally didn't need to explain more. However, there was one thing Lu Shaohua hadn't asked about. Chen Guobang happened to call him today, and Lu Shaohua just remembered it, so he asked casually. "Brother, did you get those precision instruments and other equipment?"

I still remember that when Lu Shaohua was about to leave the Soviet Union, he talked about this with Chen Guobang. I don’t know if he remembers it. Anyway, Chen Guobang has not mentioned this precision instrument until now. I guess he has forgotten it.

Sure enough, Chen Guobang's answer proved that he had forgotten. "I have been busy with the aircraft carrier issue recently and forgot about it."

"Well, those precision instruments are also very important. Let's do this. You ask a trustworthy person to go to the secret base and ask the scientists what instruments they need, make a list, and then buy them all at once." Lu Shaohua said lightly, as if buying those things was like buying garbage. In fact, it was true. In the turbulent Soviet Union, buying those precision instruments with the help of Chen Guobang's connections was not difficult at all.

"Well, I'll get someone to do it." Chen Guobang on the other end of the phone said seriously.

"Yes, by the way, there are also production lines for cars and some electronic products. Just bring them back if you can get them." Lu Shaohua gave Chen Guobang another task. The base in Bao'an, Shenzhen has been roughly built. Both the car production line and the electronic product production line will be needed soon. Lu Shaohua can only plan ahead and make preparations in advance.

"Okay, I'll let others do all these. I can't spare the energy by myself." Chen Guobang said. He couldn't spare the energy by himself, but this was not the most important thing. The important thing was that he was already training his successor, so it would be good to let him exercise this matter.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua didn't care who Chen Guobang assigned to do it, as long as he could get it. Besides, Lu Shaohua was always confident in Chen Guobang's work.

……

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shaohua finally relaxed. Everything went as he expected. He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go out for a walk, but unexpectedly the phone rang again.

"Hello! Who is it?"

"Haha! It's me. Are you free tonight?" The voice of Ho Ying-tung came from the phone.

Lu Shaohua was very familiar with Huo Yingdong's voice, so he knew who it was as soon as he heard it. "It's Grandpa Huo, haha, I stay at home all day, so I'm free anytime."

"Okay, come to my place for dinner tonight and I'll introduce someone to you." Ho Ying-tung said again on the other end of the phone.

"Oh? Okay then." Although Lu Shaohua had doubts in his mind, he still agreed.

"Well, I'll wait for you."

After Huo Yingdong finished speaking, he hung up the phone, leaving only the beep, beep sound to Lu Shaohua who was holding the receiver. Lu Shaohua did not feel strange, because Huo Yingdong was like this, not once or twice, he would hang up the phone directly after finishing his business.

Lu Shaohua did not think much about it. He was happy to have a free meal. Besides, the chefs in Ho Ying-tung's family were really excellent, at least five-star level. Thinking of the dishes at the last family dinner, Lu Shaohua felt his mouth was watering. As for who Ho Ying-tung wanted to introduce to him, he had long forgotten about it.

……

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shaohua went out to the courtyard of the villa to breathe some fresh air, and then returned to the study room on the second floor to start his high school self-study career. Immersed in the ocean of knowledge, he forgot about time and everything around him. Soon noon came. He put down the textbook reluctantly, rubbed his sore eyes, and walked out of the room, ready to call Li Shangkui and others to go out for dinner.

Lu Shaohua is used to eating big fish and meat. Sometimes he is okay and is not picky about food. He can eat anything, even instant noodles can fill his stomach. But sometimes he is very picky about food, especially when he is in a good mood, he will go out to a hotel to eat. Like today, Chen Guobang's call brought him good news, so he called Li Shangkui to go out to a hotel for a meal.

After lunch, Lu Shaohua didn't want to stay in the villa all day without going out. Anyway, he hadn't been to the company for more than a month, so he simply came to the Phoenix Building. What was different from the past was that Lu Shaohua did not go directly to the 30th floor, but took the elevator to the 29th floor. The 29th floor was the office of the general managers and executive presidents of various subsidiaries. These people had all seen Lu Shaohua and were not afraid of exposing his identity.

Without any obstruction, Lu Shaohua led Li Shangkui and four others directly to the 29th floor. As soon as they came out of the elevator, they saw the office of the executive president, which was also Qin Sichen's office. They knocked on the door, and when they heard the voice of "Come in" from inside, Lu Shaohua pushed open the door.

Walking in, Lu Shaohua's first impression was "fragrance". Yes, the whole office was filled with fragrance. Scanning the layout inside, Lu Shaohua felt that it was very feminine, simple, elegant and tidy. In fact, Liu Mingzhang only gave Qin Sichen an empty office. As for the decoration and other office supplies, they were all selected by Qin Sichen herself, and even the furnishings were made by her.

After reading the layout, Lu Shaohua noticed Qin Sichen sitting in the boss' chair reading documents. He didn't know whether Qin Sichen was working too hard or pretending not to see him, the boss, but he still maintained his posture and looked at the documents.

"Cough, cough." Lu Shaohua pretended to cough twice before speaking. "Are you used to it?" Lu Shaohua's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just right for Qin Sichen to hear.

Qin Sichen raised his head at this time, and when he saw that it was Lu Shaohua, he smiled first, and then said, "Thank you for your concern, Chairman. I'm used to it."

"Well, you'll get used to it." Lu Shaohua didn't say much, and didn't even prepare to sit down. He turned around and said, "Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll just take a look around." After that, Lu Shaohua walked towards the door.

Qin Sichen was confused all of a sudden. Why did Lu Shaohua come into her office as the CEO and just ask about the company's situation and then leave? Qin Sichen couldn't be blamed. She had just been in the company for a short time and didn't know Lu Shaohua at all. It was normal for her to be confused. She shook her head and ignored Lu Shaohua and continued to look at her documents.

Lu Shaohua had a different idea. He went to Qin Sichen just to take a look around, and he had no other intention. He had to care about his subordinates anyway! As for the company's situation, he knew it clearly without asking Qin Sichen. Liu Mingzhang and the general managers of other subsidiaries would give him a summary every month, so he didn't need to ask.

After walking out of the door, Lu Shaohua went straight to Liu Mingzhang's office. The door was open. Lu Shaohua didn't knock and walked in directly. It was quite lively at first glance. Li Yunqing and Wang Qian were both inside.

"Hey! Are you guys at work or just chatting together?" Although Lu Shaohua tried to sound serious, he couldn't help laughing at the end.

Liu Mingzhang and the other three all looked at Lu Shaohua at the same time. When they saw it was Lu Shaohua, Liu Mingzhang was the first to roll his eyes. Li Yunqing just smiled and said nothing, while Wang Qian seemed a little exaggerated. She patted her chest with her hand, looking like she was frightened.

"Do you know how you found time to come to the company?" Liu Mingzhang asked.

"After dinner, I had nothing to do so I came to the company. And I happened to see you guys gathering together to chat." Lu Shaohua said lightly, but he couldn't help smiling when he mentioned gathering together to chat.

"Hey! Let me make it clear first, we are not gathering to chat, but discussing the company. Besides, it's not time to go to work yet." Liu Mingzhang retorted.

In fact, they were indeed discussing business matters. Also, it was just past one o'clock, and the Phoenix Group's stipulated working hours were two o'clock in the afternoon, which was still a few dozen minutes away.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding." Lu Shaohua waved his hand, found a chair and sat down, and asked seriously after he was seated. "Nothing has happened in the company recently, right?"

"Well, I don't know about the other things, but everything is going well in the financial sector." Liu Mingzhang replied. He is the general manager in charge of the financial sector, so he should be the one with the most say.

"Well, you guys continue chatting. I'll go to the office." Lu Shaohua didn't say much. He stood up from the chair and ignored the strange looks from everyone. He walked straight to the door.

Lu Shaohua had a key to go from the 29th floor to the 30th floor, so he didn't have to go down to the first floor and take the elevator, and went directly from the 30th floor to the th floor. There was nothing to do when he returned to the th floor, so he flipped through the documents on the table, signed his name on the ones that needed his signature, and read the others carefully.

The time for looking at the documents and signing passed quickly. Only after reading all the documents did he stand up, stretch, and check the clock. "Hey, it's already past four o'clock. It's time to go to the Huo family. I don't know if Mr. Huo invited me to dinner or introduced me to someone?"

Yes, Lu Shaohua had no idea what Huo Yingdong was up to, but Lu Shaohua didn't care. He went there simply for the food. As for who was introduced to him, Lu Shaohua didn't care. However, when Lu Shaohua arrived at the Huo family, he truly understood Huo Yingdong's purpose, and this purpose made Lu Shaohua extremely depressed.
