Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 301: Pull orders! Pull orders!

Lu Shaohua looked at the expression on Li Jiacheng's face when he spoke. It seemed that it was not just lip service, but sincere praise. And when he mentioned the appearance of the car, his expression was a little relaxed, as if he saw a beloved thing and wanted to possess it.

Thinking of Li Jiacheng's identity, Lu Shaohua suddenly had an idea in his mind, an idea that could help him make a deal, which was to let wealthy people like Li Jiacheng buy a Phoenix brand car.

Even if all the wealthy people in Hong Kong buy a Phoenix brand car, the number is not large, but Lu Shaohua does not care about the quantity. What he cares about is the influence. If all the wealthy people in Hong Kong with a certain influence drive or sit in Phoenix brand cars, wouldn't it be a disguised publicity? The effect of this kind of publicity is far higher than the effect of broadcasting it on TV dozens of times a day.

Moreover, Lu Shaohua's ambition is not that simple. He wants to use this opportunity to establish the Phoenix brand in the circle of wealthy people. If the foundation is successful, it will be even better to make Phoenix brand cars a symbol of wealthy families, just like Rolls-Royce, riding in a Rolls-Royce becomes a symbol of status.

After making up his mind, Lu Shaohua said in a half-joking tone, "Uncle Superman, if you like it, I'll sell you one. Oh, but it's a bit of a discount."

"Hehe! I seem to remember that the general manager of Phoenix Sales Company was Xu Jiarui. Why did he change? It's you?" Li Jiacheng did not answer Lu Shaohua's question directly, but mocked Lu Shaohua from the side.

"Haha! Phoenix Group is mine, I have to be responsible for it. It is necessary for me to be a full-time worker!" Lu Shaohua ignored Li Jiacheng's sarcasm and tried to resolve it.

"Haha!" Li Jiacheng also laughed, without refuting Lu Shaohua's words, and then his expression changed and he said seriously, "You're right, I really want to buy a car like yours."

"Since you want it, I can deliver it to your door for free." Lu Shaohua waved his hand and became serious. He knew Li Jiacheng was not joking and he really wanted to buy it. "There is only one family-sized sedan in the newspaper. I personally feel that if you want to buy it, you should buy an extended version to match your status!"

There was no other way. Due to the tight time schedule, Lu Shaohua was unable to get people to build sports car versions and extended versions of cars in a short period of time. As a result, there was only one type of car available to the outside world, and that was the family version.

"Oh! Is there an extended version?" Li Jiacheng asked.

"Well, you are not satisfied with yourself. I designed the car model myself, and designed three types, namely the family version of ordinary sedan, the extended version of luxury sedan and the high-speed sports car." Lu Shaohua did not feel complacent because he said that it was his own design. On the contrary, he said it calmly.

"Haha! After hearing what you said, my interest is growing. Please introduce him to me. If there is no problem, I would be very happy to be your first customer." Li Jiacheng said with a smile.

"Yes, I need to explain in detail." Huo Yingdong, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up, paused, and said in a pretentious tone. "The life of my car is almost over."

'There's hope', this was Lu Shaohua's first feeling. He originally just wanted to lure Li Jiacheng over, but now even Ho Ying-tung became interested, so he just took advantage of the situation and brought both companies in at once.

"Okay, let me talk about the advantages of cars first." At this point, Lu Shaohua paused, looked around at the two people, and continued. "Phoenix brand cars have two major advantages. The first advantage is the engine. I dare not say that it is the best car engine in the world, but it is not far from the best."

I still remember that the top technical talents from the Soviet Union said that each car engine has its own characteristics, but Lu Shaohua does not agree with this statement because it is too conservative. According to the information Chu Lei later inquired about, the engines developed by Phoenix Group firmly occupy the world's advanced level, so Lu Shaohua dared to say "It is not far from the best."

Before the two elders could speak, Lu Shaohua continued, "The second biggest advantage is the steel used on the exterior. The quality of this steel is several times better than that of other cars."

The quality of the steel material on the exterior of a car can have a great impact on safety. For example, if two cars collide at 120 miles per hour at the same time, the driver of the car with good steel material may be safe and sound, but the one with poor steel material is self-evident. Not only will the whole car be damaged, but the collision force will also cause a huge shock. It is like taking a ball of mud and colliding it with an iron ball. The result is that the ball is intact, while the ball made of mud will be dented. Then is there any possibility for the driver sitting in the front seat to survive? The answer is obviously impossible to survive.

The word "safety" occupies a very important position in everyone's mind. Even if you have enough wealth to spend in several lifetimes, but your life is threatened, what is the point? And people like Li Huicheng, who have a lot of wealth but cannot do without cars as a means of transportation, undoubtedly want to gain a little more safety space.

"Oh? Is the steel that good? Can it be bulletproof?" Li Jiacheng asked.

"Bulletproof?" Lu Shaohua was stunned. When he asked the military talents in Africa to develop steel refining technology, he only asked them to research this technology that was slightly better than usual, and did not develop a bulletproof vehicle. However, this is not difficult. Take armored vehicles for example. They are bulletproof. Would such a military technology as armored vehicles be difficult for those military talents? "Uncle Superman wants bulletproof?"

"Of course." Li Jiacheng answered without hesitation, but when he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something and said something like "It's not that I'm afraid of death, it's just for safety, safety!"

Is it really just for safety? Lu Shaohua knew it well. Who is not afraid of death? Even Lu Shaohua himself is afraid of death, otherwise he would not be sitting in a bulletproof car and with eight bodyguards. He waved his hand and ignored the question of whether Li Jiacheng was afraid of death. "If you want bulletproof, that's fine. They have the ability to make it, but the price is more expensive."

"Oh! With our current relationship, can't we just give you a discount?" Li Jiacheng said with a smile. He was also joking with Lu Shaohua. How much is a bulletproof car worth? For him, whose assets are measured in billions, it is just a drop in the bucket. Why would he care about such a small amount of money?

This meant that Li Jiacheng was going to buy it, and Lu Shaohua was very happy. After all, this was his first deal. "No problem, I'll give you a discount then, haha!"

"Well! How can I be left out of a discount? I want one too." Ho Ying-tung also spoke, but at this time he was a bit like those women who would rush forward when they saw an opportunity to take advantage of a small bargain.

"No problem." Lu Shaohua said generously.

"Hehe! Quality, we must ensure the quality, otherwise we will return the goods when the time comes." Li Jiacheng said.

"Yes, if the quality is not good, return it." Ho Ying-tung also echoed.

Lu Shaohua could tell they were joking, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, you don't have a chance to return the goods."

The top technical talents from the Soviet Union gave Lu Shaohua strong self-confidence. He even blindly believed that Phoenix brand cars were the best in the world. Of course, this was also Lu Shaohua's personal opinion. As to whether it was the best, time would tell.

At this moment, there were chaotic footsteps outside the door. The three people sitting inside knew that someone was coming, and there were more than one or two people, so they stopped talking and looked towards the door. Since Lu Shaohua had his back to the door, he turned around to see who was coming.

The people who came were none other than the other eight directors of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. They arrived at the Huo's villa together and walked into the hall together, as if they had made an appointment.

"You three are chatting so happily that we can hear your voices from outside. What are you talking about?" asked an old man named Zhang.

"Haha! Sit down first, sit down first, and then we can talk about what we just talked about." As the host, Ho Ying-tung stood up to greet them and asked everyone to sit down.

After a while, the eight people who came later all sat down. Fortunately, there were many sofa seats in the hall, enough for the eight of them to find a place to sit.

When he found that his butt was still not strong enough, the old man named Zhang became a little impatient and spoke again. "I seemed to hear you guys were buying things just now. Come on, if you have any good stuff, share it with us!"

As soon as this was said, the other seven people echoed it, and they all said that Lu Shaohua and the other two could not keep the good things to themselves, but must share them.

This is great, and it plays right into Lu Shaohua's hands. He had just dragged in two companies, and now eight wealthy CEOs of first-tier listed companies have been sent here. How could Lu Shaohua miss such a good opportunity?

"Haha! What good stuff is there?" Lu Shaohua used a tactic of retreating to advance. He first kept a little mystery to arouse their curiosity, and then set a trap for them to fall into.

As expected, another person spoke up, "Xiaohua, you are being disrespectful. The relationship between us is clear. How can you be so selfish?"

The word "high" appeared in the minds of both Ho Ying-tung and Li Ka-shing at the same time. They were insiders and of course knew what was going on. At the same time, they were now outsiders. Lu Shaohua's purpose of retreating to advance was naturally clear to them, so they had to admire Lu Shaohua's cleverness.

Lu Shaohua glanced at Huo Yingdong and Li Jiacheng. He knew that these two people who had been in the business world for most of their lives should have seen through his intentions, but seeing that they did not intend to speak, Lu Shaohua felt relieved. He then repeated what he had discussed with Li Jiacheng and Huo Yingdong, and finally said, "In the end, it's not about buying a car. It's not a good thing!"

"Haha!" The old man surnamed Zhang laughed first, then said, "The car brand you mentioned is called Phoenix, but your group seems to be called Phoenix too, right?"

Lu Shaohua's heart skipped a beat. He knew that he could no longer hide the fact that the car was produced by him, so he said directly, "The car was produced at the base I invested in Shenzhen."

"That's right! It's been hard for me to hide it." Seeing Lu Shaohua admit it, the old man surnamed Zhang waved his hand, not minding at all, and changed the subject. "After all, we are both from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. I will definitely take care of your business. How about this, I want a bulletproof car, hehe! But I want a discount, otherwise I won't take it."

Lu Shaohua made an OK gesture to indicate that there was no problem, and then turned his attention to the other seven people. He really hoped that this deal could be done. If it was done, with Li Jiacheng and Huo Yingdong, that would be ten cars. But were they really willing to buy it? Or would they choose to wait and see?
