Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 251: Planning Arms

On the 25th, Lu Shaohua ate something hastily after finishing the phone call, and then took a hot shower before returning to the hall to sit. Yes, he was waiting for a call from Chen Guobang. Giving Chen Guobang five days to prepare should be very appropriate. In other words, in a few hours, those technical personnel will board the plane to Africa. As long as they board the plane to Africa, Chen Guobang will pass the news to Lu Shaohua.

The wait was always long, and Lu Shaohua finally got his chance. Time passed by bit by bit, and one second seemed to be longer than a normal minute. However, Lu Shaohua felt much more relaxed and not as anxious as before. With Chen Guobang's ability, this matter should be foolproof.

When the clock hanging on the wall struck 10 o'clock in the evening, the phone next to Lu Shaohua rang. After only one ring, Lu Shaohua picked up the receiver, said "Hello!" lightly, and then listened quietly without interrupting.

The call was from Chen Guobang. When he heard that it was Lu Shaohua himself who answered the phone, Chen Guobang didn't say anything else and went straight to the point. "Everything has been transferred."

"Well, it's good that it's been transferred. You should go to bed early." Lu Shaohua said calmly, and then hung up the phone.

This was good news, and at the same time, it was the answer Lu Shaohua expected. "All have been transferred." This sentence was the result, and only when those technical personnel boarded the plane to Africa and the plane took off, would Chen Guobang give Lu Shaohua this answer.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shaohua was completely relaxed. Since they were on the plane, the talent transfer was successful. They would arrive in Africa in a while. When they arrived at the base in Africa, they would be truly safe. However, Lu Shaohua was not worried. In his opinion, as long as they were on the plane, they would be safe. He turned off the TV in the living room, returned to his room, and fell asleep. Normally, he would have gone to bed by now. If he hadn't been waiting for Chen Guobang's call today, he would not have slept so late.

……

After getting up the next day, Lu Shaohua called Li Zhijie after breakfast. Although Chen Guobang should have contacted him, Lu Shaohua still had to call again. Whether it was to ask him to receive those technical talents or arrange the next work plan for them, Lu Shaohua had to make this call.

Li Zhijie's voice was heard on the phone soon. Lu Shaohua didn't say anything else and went straight to the point. He first asked him to treat those technical talents well, and then told Li Zhijie that they were going to build a large transport aircraft. Li Zhijie naturally didn't say anything and agreed to everything.

After the explanation was completed, Lu Shaohua asked into the receiver, "How is the mission going?"

Lu Shaohua hasn't asked about this matter for a long time. It has been a while since he accepted the internal war mission of a small country, and he doesn't know what the result is. Now that he remembers it, he would like to ask about it.

"Haha! Our weapons and equipment are more advanced than others, and we have always had the advantage. The damage is not very great. Jianwei and I take turns going to the front line, and Jianwei is commanding at the front line now." Speaking of the mission, Li Zhijie seemed very happy. This was the first real mission after the formation of the mercenary group, and it was a large-scale mission. Judging from the previous situation, the success of the mission was a foregone conclusion. How could Li Zhijie not be happy?

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua also heard something from Li Zhijie's tone, and without saying anything more, he changed the subject. "After this batch of technical personnel arrives at the base, Huxiao's weapons and equipment should not be purchased from others, but should be manufactured by ourselves."

Lu Shaohua would never waste money. Most of those talents are top talents. It is not difficult for them to produce advanced weapons and equipment. If they are given more time to research, it is not impossible to develop more advanced weapons and equipment. No, it is not that they cannot, but they can definitely do it as long as there is time.

"Okay." Li Zhijie replied, and after a moment's silence, he spoke again. "The amount of equipment our mercenary group needs is limited, and there are so many technicians. It won't take long for the supply to become saturated. I personally suggest that we sell the excess equipment, which can also increase fiscal revenue!"

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua laughed. He asked Li Zhijie to form a mercenary group because he saw that he had a good brain. Now it has been proved once again that Lu Shaohua had thought about this a long time ago. Arms is a highly profitable industry. It is not Lu Shaohua's style to not make money. It's just that the time is not ripe yet. "Don't rush. I have my own arrangements. When it is saturated, you can let those technicians research more advanced technology, and we can talk about other things later."

Arms are profitable, but they are profitable only if they are technologically advanced. If your weapons are inferior to others, who will buy from you? But if you are technologically advanced, it is different. Not only are they easy to sell, but the price can also be raised, and you can get the most profit from them.

"I understand." Li Zhijie responded.

"Well, I will transfer another sum of money to you in a few days, so please pay attention to it." Lu Shaohua said lightly.

Technical personnel will soon arrive in Africa. Whether it is food and lodging, daily necessities, or research and manufacturing of weapons and equipment, everything needs money. The money Li Zhijie has on hand is for base construction, and there is no extra money to spend. Lu Shaohua can only allocate more money. As for how much to allocate, Lu Shaohua has a rough idea in his mind. Phoenix Group is already profitable, and expenses can be drawn from profits, so Lu Shaohua can use the remaining money at will.

"it is good."

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua didn't say much. He told Li Zhijie again to ensure the safety of the base and then hung up the phone.

……

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shaohua wanted to call Liu Mingzhang, but after thinking about it, he put the phone down again. The reason was that Hong Kong was celebrating Christmas, and it was December 12th, and people were still on holiday. They would not be able to return to work until tomorrow. Liu Mingzhang was no exception and was still on holiday. Lu Shaohua could only contact him tomorrow.

Since he couldn't make a phone call, Lu Shaohua had nothing to do, so he just started watching TV. But after a while, the doorbell suddenly rang. He had no choice but to drag his tired body to open the door. Lu Shaohua knew who was coming without guessing. He was almost 100% sure that it was Huo Xiaoyue.

Since meeting Huo Xiaoyue at the Huo family half a year ago, she has often run to Lu Shaohua's villa. The two of them gradually became familiar with each other. Lu Shaohua learned from Huo Xiaoyue that she was assigned to come to Lu Shaohua's villa by her grandfather, Huo Yingdong. As for the purpose, Lu Shaohua had no idea.

I still remember the first time Huo Xiaoyue came to Lu Shaohua's villa, Lu Shaohua asked her what she was doing there, and her answer made Lu Shaohua a little speechless. "Studying homework", yes, she came to study homework and let Lu Shaohua tutor her.

With the financial resources of the Huo family, it would not be a problem to find a doctor or a postgraduate to tutor Huo Xiaoyue, but Mr. Huo just wanted her to study with Lu Shaohua, which made Lu Shaohua almost speechless.

What made Lu Shaohua speechless was yet to come. In order to get clarification, Lu Shaohua made a special call to Huo Yingdong, but Huo Yingdong shut Lu Shaohua up with one sentence. "You are known as a genius in the 'Government School'. Is it wrong for me to let Xiaoyue study with you? Besides, we are all family, and it can save money!"

"What? Save money?" Does the Huo family need to save money to hire a tutor? The answer is obviously impossible. What made Lu Shaohua speechless was the word "family". What does "family" mean? When did Lu Shaohua and the Huo family become family? He himself didn't know when. For this sentence, Lu Shaohua specifically asked again, and Huo Yingdong's next answer made Lu Shaohua even more speechless. "Haha, you are Xiaoyue's future husband, and my grandson-in-law. Aren't you a family member?

The last time when he went to the Huo family for a family dinner, Lu Shaohua could clearly remember Huo Yingdong's proposal for arranging a child marriage, but Lu Shaohua didn't say anything afterwards, that is, he neither refused nor agreed.

Since the old matter was brought up again, Lu Shaohua could only make it clear to Huo Yingdong on the phone that he had not agreed. However, Huo Yingdong then started to act like a rogue, saying that Lu Shaohua didn't seem to have refused at the time. For this reason, he even specially quoted a saying, "Silence represents acceptance". This made Lu Shaohua unable to find words to refute, so he just shut up passively and let everything take its course.

However, Lu Shaohua was relieved that Huo Xiaoyue did not have the willful temper of a young lady from a big family. She looked gentle and relatively well-behaved. Anyway, Lu Shaohua had nothing to do at home. He could tutor her homework. It didn't seem to be a big deal. Besides, having a beautiful woman by his side was not a bad thing. To be more precise, having a beautiful woman by his side was not a bad thing. At least it made Lu Shaohua feel less dull and added a little vitality to the villa.

As the saying goes, once there is a chance of a second time, Huo Xiaoyue came the first time and the second time. In half a year, she came twice almost every week, and she would come on time every Saturday and Sunday, no matter whether it was windy or rainy outside, she would come when the time came.

Lu Shaohua didn't say anything about Huo Xiaoyue's insistence. It was fine as long as she liked it. He slowly opened the door, and it was Huo Xiaoyue standing outside. Seeing Lu Shaohua open the door, Huo Xiaoyue showed a lovely smile and said sweetly, "Brother, I'm here."

"Well, come in." Lu Shaohua stepped aside to let the lively Huo Xiaoyue in before closing the door. At that moment, Lu Shaohua could clearly see through the crack in the door that four bodyguards in black suits got on and left the villa entrance.

Lu Shaohua was no longer surprised by these things. As the eldest daughter of the Huo family, it would be strange if she didn't have a bodyguard. Moreover, when Huo Xiaoyue came to the villa for the first time, Lu Shaohua knew that she was brought there by a bodyguard, but the bodyguard left after Lu Shaohua closed the door.

Watching the bodyguard leave, Lu Shaohua shook his head. Just as he turned back, he unexpectedly...
