Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 326: Order from Yu Xiang's Family

As a gang leader, Heung Hua-keung has a very calm personality, otherwise he would not have become what he is today. After all, being in a gang is a skill, and the fighting is more intense than you can imagine. If he is not calm, it would be difficult to develop Xin Anyi into its current size. Therefore, calmness is a personality that Heung Hua-keung must possess.

However, in some cases, Xiang Huaqiang is also a man of temperament. No matter what happens, he always wants to solve it first and then do other things. Just like now, Xiang Huaqiang has something to ask Lu Shaohua, and his approach is to talk about the matter first and then eat.

As soon as everyone sat down around the table, Xiang Huaqiang spoke and got straight to the point. "Xiaohua, I asked you to come here today because of the car."

After bringing up the topic, Xiang Huaqiang continued, "The cars produced by your group are the first choice in terms of both appearance and quality, and my current car is too old, so I came to buy a car from you."

"Buy a car?" Lu Shaohua was stunned, then a smile appeared on his face. "If Uncle Xiang wants to buy a car, why don't you just go to the car dealership? Why are you looking for me?"

Lu Shaohua is a typical example of pretending to be confused. What a joke! If Xiang Huaqiang didn't know that he could just go to Phoenix Car Dealership to buy a car, but he didn't do that. The purpose is self-evident.

"..." Xiang Huaqiang was speechless for a while, and said with a bitter face. "You know that I should go to your Phoenix Car Dealership to buy a car, but I just want to buy it from you, the boss, so I can get a discount!"

Seeing that Lu Shaohua was pretending to be confused, Xiang Huaqiang simply cooperated with Lu Shaohua and launched a silent counterattack.

"Haha! That's easy." Lu Shaohua's expression was very indifferent. After saying that, he turned around and said to Xu Jiarui in a pretentious manner. "Manager Xu, Uncle Xiang wants you to buy a car, and Phoenix Car Dealership is managed by you, so give Uncle Xiang a 50% discount."

As smart as Xu Jiarui was, he knew that Lu Shaohua and Xiang Huaqiang were joking, but he didn't know how to respond, so he could only continue to be confused, nodded, and said, "No problem."

Xiang Huaqiang's silent counterattack was resolved by Lu Shaohua in a snap, leaving Xiang Huaqiang speechless again. In the end, he could only raise the white flag helplessly and said, "Okay, I admit defeat!"

Xiang Huaqiang could not find any benefit from bickering with Lu Shaohua, so he had to admit defeat and changed the subject, saying seriously, "Before the first batch of cars produced by your group came out, I heard that Mr. Huo and several directors of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce ordered a batch of cars. When the cars were delivered to them, I had the honor of seeing them once. To be honest, I liked them the first time I saw them. Since then, I have been trying to find a time to ask you to get me one, but I have never been able to see you. Today is the right time, and I ran into you. You have to get me one."

There was no other way, Xiang Huaqiang could only tell his true purpose. Talking about discounts or not was complete nonsense. How much is a car worth? To Xiang Huaqiang, it was not even a drop in the bucket. He would not mind that little bit of money.

There is no doubt that the appearance of Phoenix cars is attractive. Xiang Huaqiang liked it at first sight, and Lu Shaohua also believed it. As for whether it is really as Xiang Huaqiang said, that he wanted to buy one because he liked the Phoenix car, it is worth Lu Shaohua's deep thought.

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua laughed first, then asked in a mysterious tone. "Uncle Xiang, I don't think you want to buy one just because it looks good."

Lu Shaohua's intuition told him that Xiang Huaqiang did not want to buy the Phoenix car because of its good looks, but the Phoenix car had some other advantages that Xiang Huaqiang was attracted to. As for what those advantages were, Lu Shaohua could not guess for the time being.

At this moment, Xiang Huaqiang discovered that Lu Shaohua was as smart as a ghost and guessed his thoughts with just one or two sentences. The same was true for the hidden truth. Although the appearance of the Phoenix car was attractive, it was far from the point that Xiang Huaqiang had to buy it.

"Hey! I'll tell you the truth." Xiang Huaqiang shook his head with a wry smile and continued, "You know what I do. I have a lot of enemies. I might be shot to death by a bullet while sitting in a car one day."

Not yet finished. After finishing speaking, Xiang Hua paused for a moment and continued, "I heard from Mr. Huo that the quality of the cars produced by your group is very good, especially in terms of bulletproofing. Oh, I'll tell you something in secret. Mr. Huo once did an experiment, shooting at a car with an AK47 at close range, and the final result was that the car was only slightly damaged, and could not be penetrated."

"Oh!" Lu Shaohua responded, as if he had realized it. Yes, as if he had realized it, because the news Xiang Huaqiang told Lu Shaohua reminded Lu Shaohua of something that happened some time ago.

What happened was that Ho Ying-tung bought another bulletproof extended luxury car from Lu Shaohua. At first, Lu Shaohua found it strange why Ho Ying-tung bought two. At that time, Ho Ying-tung said that he was taking care of his business. Now, after what Xiang Huaqiang said, Lu Shaohua suddenly understood that the first car Ho Ying-tung bought had scars after testing, so he bought another one.

"Hehe! It seems that Mr. Huo doesn't trust me. I have to talk to his family when I have time." Lu Shaohua said cunningly.

"Don't, don't, don't." Xiang Huaqiang said "don't" three times in a row. You have to know that except for a few people who knew about this matter, Huo Yingdong did not tell anyone else. If Lu Shaohua really went to talk to Huo Yingdong about it, it would not be difficult for Huo Yingdong to know that it was Xiang Huaqiang who told Lu Shaohua the news, and then Xiang Huaqiang would be in trouble.

"Yeah! Don't worry, I won't reveal that you said it." Lu Shaohua looked like he would keep the secret a secret, but in his heart he secretly added, "No way."

Xiang Huaqiang patted his chest and cursed himself for not being able to keep the secret. But it was too late now, the words had been spoken. He could only pray that Lu Shaohua would not tell anyone about it, because he was afraid that Ho Ying-tung would get angry with him!

Back to the point, Xiang Huaqiang was afraid to continue talking about this matter, so he simply changed the subject and said, "I know your group rarely makes this kind of bulletproof car, but our relationship is here, no matter what, you have to get me one, I can't watch others sitting in a bulletproof car and enjoying it while I don't have one, I'm jealous."

The number of extended luxury bulletproof sedans produced so far is small. Apart from the nine people including the directors of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Li Jiacheng, each of whom owns one, and the two owned by Ho Ying-tung, there are a total of eleven. There is also another one kept in the base in Shenzhen as a backup for Lu Shaohua, making a total of twelve.

As the saying goes, scarcity makes things valuable. Phoenix Automobile's bulletproof cars are rare and it is not easy to buy one. Unless Lu Shaohua orders production, no one else can get an order because Lu Shaohua had already instructed Chu Lei not to accept such orders.

That was why, when Xiang Huaqiang wanted to get this type of car through various channels, he was told that he could not place an order. In the end, he had no choice but to come to Lu Shaohua, the behind-the-scenes boss, to place an order.

Lu Shaohua understood the reason. It was not easy to order Phoenix's bulletproof sedan, not to mention that Xiang Huaqiang wanted to order a stretched luxury version of the bulletproof sedan, which was even more difficult. "No problem, I'll call them tomorrow and ask them to start producing one."

Lu Shaohua agreed. After all, Xiang Huaqiang was his fellow villager, so Lu Shaohua had to give him some face. Moreover, Xiang Huaqiang's status and position in Hong Kong were second to none, and Lu Shaohua could not refuse him.

"Oh, by the way, are you in a hurry? If you are, there is one reserved for you over there." Lu Shaohua's meaning was very clear, that is, if Xiang Huaqiang needed it urgently, Lu Shaohua could give the car reserved for himself to Xiang Huaqiang.

"That's great." Xiang Huaqiang wasn't going to be polite with Lu Shaohua and took it directly.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to deliver it tomorrow." Lu Shaohua waved his hand, as if he had done something insignificant.

Speaking of the spare car for himself, we have to mention Lu Shaohua's new idea. Although the bulletproof effect of Phoenix cars is good, it still cannot satisfy Lu Shaohua. Although it is bulletproof, it cannot be riot-proof. The car is for his own use, so Lu Shaohua naturally wants the best. Therefore, bulletproof and riot-proof are Lu Shaohua's first choice.

Furthermore, as the boss of Phoenix Group, Lu Shaohua drives a Rolls-Royce, which is not a brand of his company. This is not a long-term solution. Changing the car is inevitable, it is just a matter of time.

"Oh, well, Xiaohua, you can't forget about me. My brother already has one, so I have to get one too." Xiang Huasheng was not to be outdone and started ordering one right away.

"Haha! No problem." Lu Shaohua readily agreed.

Just kidding, Lu Shaohua is a businessman. If he doesn't do business, he's a fool. Two orders for luxury versions came in at once. He can make some money more or less.

"Well! You see, I asked you to come here today because of the order for two cars. Plus, I'm also a member of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, so you have to give me a preferential price, at least." Xiang Huaqiang acted as if he was the one who brought me the business, so he had to give me a discount.

It is true that Xiang Huaqiang is a member of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and he is also the first batch of members recruited by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. However, there is a joking element in the fact that he used this lame excuse to ask Lu Shaohua for a preferential price.

"Hey! I didn't expect Uncle Xiang to be so stingy." Lu Shaohua pretended to be helpless, and then changed his tone and said, "Okay, okay, I'll give you a discount."

"Hehe! That's more like it!" Xiang Huaqiang said with a smile.

Just like that, the business of the two cars was done, and the next thing was to eat. However, it seemed that God didn't want Lu Shaohua to eat so soon, and suddenly appeared at this time to deliberately go against Lu Shaohua.
