Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 302: Order for Fourteen Vehicles

Lu Shaohua had wasted so much time talking, naturally he wanted to get more orders. You know, these guys are the people in Hong Kong business circle who can shake the stock market with just a stomp of their feet. If they were allowed to drive Phoenix brand cars, then the Phoenix brand would become popular among Hong Kong business celebrities, which would mean Lu Shaohua would achieve the first step in establishing a reputation for this brand among the wealthy.

Although Phoenix Group is not listed, none of the other ten people present dared to doubt the strength of Phoenix Group because, superficially, Phoenix Group has assets of over 10 billion US dollars. Although they are the CEOs of first-tier listed companies in Hong Kong, their assets are not that much. Remember that Henry Fok told them privately that even the assets of their ten listed companies combined are not as much as those of one Phoenix Financial subsidiary.

There are all kinds of signs that the market value of Phoenix Financial's stocks is an astronomical figure, so they believe what Huo Yingdong said. And now Lu Shaohua has quietly made a car. Based on their understanding of Lu Shaohua, he will not do anything without certainty. So now that the car has been produced, if it does not have certain advantages, Lu Shaohua will probably not push it to the market.

With this in mind, the other seven CEOs expressed their willingness to order one car each. For no other reason than that they believed that the products of Phoenix Group must be high-quality. At the same time, it was also a way of giving face to Lu Shaohua. Even if the quality was poor, they could just buy it and not drive it, and it wouldn't cost much.

A car is indeed a small matter for them. Considering their wealth being measured in billions, it is not uncommon for a family to have three or two luxury cars. One less or one more is just a small matter.

The unintentional act of selling it to Lu Shaohua to save face unexpectedly won them a lot of praise in the business celebrity circle in the future. You know, this is the first generation of Phoenix brand cars. Owning one will be antique-level in the future. It made them smile a lot when showing off in front of others. Of course, this is a later story, so we won't stop for now.

With seven more orders coming in at once, Lu Shaohua was so happy that his mouth was crooked with smiles, and said, "No problem, I'll call them tomorrow and ask them to make them first and then deliver them to your door for free."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Shaohua was immediately despised by everyone. They said it was door-to-door delivery, but in fact it was a necessity, but Lu Shaohua said it without changing his expression, which really made them despise him.

"Oh! Well, I want one too." Just as everyone was despising Lu Shaohua, a voice suddenly sounded.

Now everyone present, including Lu Shaohua, looked in the direction of the voice and realized who was speaking. It turned out to be Li Ka-shing's son, Li Zekai, who is also the current general manager of Longteng Venture Capital.

"Haha! Brother Li, when did you come? Why are you standing here without making any noise?" Lu Shaohua did not answer Li Zekai's question directly, but asked the thoughts of everyone present.

"Hello, uncles and aunts." Li Zekai was the first to greet everyone, and then explained, "I came here a long time ago, but you were chatting so happily that you didn't notice me."

It's true, the other eight CEOs were all listening to Lu Shaohua introducing the car, while Ho Ying-tung and Li Jiacheng were thinking about Lu Shaohua's tactic of retreating to advance, and they didn't notice the visitor at all, so it was normal that they didn't notice it.

Everyone laughed when they got the same case, but Lu Shaohua returned to the main topic after laughing and asked, "Brother Li, do you want to buy a car too? An extended version, a sports car, or a family version?"

"I want the sports car version." Li Zekai answered without even thinking, obviously after careful consideration.

"Okay." Lu Shaohua nodded and agreed, but he was secretly calculating in his mind. "Ten extended bulletproof cars and one sports car."

At this time, three middle-aged men in black suits came in from outside. They were the three sons of Huo Yingdong. Seeing that everyone was sitting together, they politely greeted the CEOs of those listed companies. Then Huo Zhenyu looked at Li Zekai and asked, "Zekai, why did you ask Xiaohua to buy a sports car?"

"Hehe! Don't you know? The Phoenix car that was hyped up in the media a few days ago is exactly produced by Xiaohua's group. There is a discount if you find the boss behind the scenes!" Li Zekai explained.

"Haha! I was just thinking of changing my car." Huo Zhenyu laughed and turned his attention to Lu Shaohua. "Xiaohua, you are not a decent person. Your company has developed a car, why didn't you disclose it in advance?"

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua smiled awkwardly and said, "It took quite a while to develop it, but I dare not reveal it until it is successful."

This is another principle of Lu Shaohua. Lu Shaohua will not say anything before something is settled. If he makes a boast before success, he will be embarrassed and be labeled as a braggart.

"Haha!" Huo Zhenyu waved his hand to show that he understood Lu Shaohua, and changed the subject. "I saw the model of this car in the newspaper a few days ago. I like it very much and want one too."

"Oh! A sports car?" Lu Shaohua asked.

"No! I want the type of car that's in the newspaper." Huo Zhenyu's personality is different from others. Besides, he is no longer at the age of being arrogant, so he decided to buy a regular version.

"Okay!" Lu Shaohua agreed with a smile.

"I want one too, like my second brother."

"I want one, too. A sports car."

All of a sudden, Ho Ying-tung's other two sons also placed orders. Ho Chun-ting asked for a regular version, while Ho Chun-wan, as Ho Ying-tung's youngest son, was relatively young, so he asked for a sports car.

So far, Lu Shaohua has already pulled in ten bulletproof extended versions, two regular versions and two sports cars, a total of fourteen cars. Fourteen! This number was beyond Lu Shaohua's imagination. A simple chat before the banquet resulted in an order for fourteen cars. Who would believe it if he told others about it? Including Lu Shaohua, he was a little bit unconvinced, but now it has become a fact. In front of the facts, Lu Shaohua can't help but believe it.

"Haha! Xiaohua, with so many orders for cars, the discount should be lower." Ho Ying-tung said with a smile.

"Haha, no problem. Our relationship is here, right?" Lu Buhua said generously.

"Well, I like to hear that." Zhang said cheerfully, and then pretended to be serious and said, "Even if we are all so close, Xiaohua, shouldn't you give it away for free?"

"That's right, that's right." Everyone in the audience echoed and said in unison.

"..." Lu Shaohua was speechless for a moment. This was clearly a joke on him. He straightened his face and fought back. "Hey guys, we are all businessmen. We should be businessmen!"

Everyone was speechless after Lu Shaohua's counterattack, so they had to give up on making fun of Lu Shaohua. At this time, Huo Yingdong also waved his hand and asked Lu Shaohua, "Will you choose Hong Kong as your first stop to conquer the market?"

Lu Shaohua looked at Huo Yingdong meaningfully and nodded. "In fact, Hong Kong is just a transit point for me, but it is indeed the first stop. When Shenzhen can start mass production, the first stop will be the Hong Kong market."

"Oh?" Huo Yingdong's eyes suddenly flashed with light, as if he realized the business opportunity here, and then asked, "Do you have a specific sales plan?"

"There is no general plan yet, but there is a rough outline. My own group sales subsidiary will invest in opening a few car dealerships in Hong Kong, and for the others, we will look for dealers to cooperate with."

"Hehe!" Huo Yingdong laughed, feeling proud. He guessed correctly that Lu Shaohua was looking for an agent. Then he said, "There is a big car dealership under my group. Give me the agency rights when the time comes."

"Okay." Lu Shaohua had no doubts about the Huo family. He chose to trust them completely and agreed without thinking.

There is more than one car dealership in Hong Kong, and the Huo family is not the only one that owns one. One of the CEOs of listed companies sitting inside also owns a car dealership, and he spoke up at this time. "I want an agency, too."

We are all directors of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, so Lu Shaohua would not refuse. "No problem, I will ask someone from my company to discuss this with you when the time comes."

"Very generous, no doubt about it." The boss who spoke just now said with a smile.

Lu Shaohua laughed and shifted his gaze to Ho Ying-tung. He knew that Ho Ying-tung would definitely have something to say.

As expected, Huo Yingdong spoke again, "Our Chinese Chamber of Commerce has been established for some time, and the number of members has gradually increased. Xiaohua, since you have this project and are looking for partners, why not just put this project on the Chamber of Commerce. If there are members willing to act as agents, let them act first."

The Chinese Chamber of Commerce was proposed by Lu Shaohua. Based on the principle of making money together, Lu Shaohua certainly would not refuse. Moreover, even if Huo Yingdong did not mention it, Lu Shaohua would come to Huo Yingdong, the chairman, to talk about it. "Originally, I was going to discuss this with you in a few days. Now that it's all said, I'd rather do it today than tomorrow. Youwan's car is a new brand, and some people may not want to be the agent, but it doesn't matter. The members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce have the priority to choose. If they don't want to be the agent, I won't force them."

"Well, as the president, I will try my best to initiate cooperation. I believe your car will not be bad, haha! It is just a matter of time to build a brand." It seemed that Ho Ying-tung was fulfilling his due responsibility, but in fact, he was not. If it were a normal matter, he would just throw the project to the Chamber of Commerce, and then the interested parties would discuss cooperation. Only Lu Shaohua's projects would receive such treatment as personally appearing in person to facilitate cooperation between the two parties.

Lu Shaohua was not involved in the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, so naturally he didn't know what was going on. But since Ho Ying-tung had said this, Lu Shaohua still said "thank you" to Ho Ying-tung out of politeness.

"Haha! You don't have to be so polite." Huo Yingdong waved his hand and changed the subject. "It's getting late. Let's go eat something first. The banquet doesn't start until eight o'clock."

"That's great, we have free meals." Lu Shaohua stood up first and said loudly.

"Ha ha!"

This caused laughter in the audience, but everyone stood up and prepared to go to the restaurant.
