Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 412: Prelude to Private Jet

Lu Shaohua suddenly remembered something which was of vital importance to him, but he himself could not confirm it. He could only ask Ho Ying-tung, a man who possessed an extraordinary status and huge wealth in Hong Kong.

"Actually, it's nothing important, I just want to ask later." Lu Shaohua scratched his head, preparing for the following questions before rushing to the point. "I just want to ask if it's troublesome to apply for a flight route in Hong Kong?"

Route, yes, route. Lu Shaohua was going to apply for a route. Originally, Lu Shaohua could apply in China, but Hong Kong had not yet returned to the motherland and was still a colony. Lu Shaohua had to make efforts in Hong Kong.

"Route? One?" Huo Yingdong frowned, puzzled, and after thinking for a while, he continued to ask. "Are you planning to buy a plane?"

It is undeniable that Lu Shaohua applied for a route just to buy a plane, a private plane.

"Yes! I may have to travel between Hong Kong and Shenzhen in the future. It takes two hours to drive, which is too troublesome." Lu Shaohua said with a smile, unable to hide a hint of anticipation on his face. He really hoped that Ho Ying-tung would know whether it would be troublesome to apply for the route.

Ho Ying-tung did not rush to answer. He was surprised at first, surprised that Lu Shaohua actually wanted to buy a plane. But after thinking about it, he felt relieved. With Lu Shaohua's wealth, it seemed that buying ten or a hundred private planes would not be a problem at all.

"Applying for air routes may be a bit troublesome, but Hong Kong is a capitalist country after all. To put it bluntly, money makes the world king. Although it is a bit difficult to apply, it is not a big problem." This was the final result given by Ho Ying-tung.

There is a chance. This was Lu Shaohua's first reaction. Phoenix Group has a great influence in Hong Kong, but Lu Shaohua has never been involved in the official government, so it is always a bit troublesome to get things done. But it is different for Ho Ying-tung. After all, he is a member of parliament and has an official background, so Lu Shaohua wanted to ask him for help.

"Can you help me? I plan to apply for a flight route so that I can travel between the two places." Lu Shaohua finally stated his purpose.

"No problem, I will do my best to help you." After saying that, Huo Yingdong paused and said half-jokingly, "But let's make it clear in advance that you have to pay the money, I'm a poor man."

The money for applying for the route should have been paid by the owner, Lu Shaohua. Lu Shaohua knew it without Ho Ying-tung saying anything. As for saying that Ho Ying-tung was a poor man, that was simply an international joke. If someone with a net worth of over 10 billion was said to be a poor man, people would definitely laugh their heads off if they said that.

"" Lu Shaohua was speechless for a while, but he still had to be polite. "Thank you, old man."

"It's a small matter." Huo Yingdong waved his hand, and then said with some doubt. "There is no problem in Hong Kong, but it may be difficult to deal with in China. I suggest you go to Mr. Deng and ask him to help. It should be easier."

It is not easy to apply for a domestic route, otherwise how come Lu Shaohua, who lives in the 21st century, has never heard of anyone owning a private jet? It is not that no one can afford it, but it is probably that the application for a route and the national policy do not allow it.

But would Lu Shaohua worry that he would not be able to apply for a flight route? No, the word "not being able to apply for" was not in Lu Shaohua's dictionary. Even if he did not ask Deng Lao, Lu Shaohua could still handle the matter. The reason was that he held the rank of major general. Although it was a sinecure, it was a general rank after all. It would not be a problem for him to apply for a flight route.

However, Lu Shaohua did not want to reveal his identity in front of Huo Yingdong, so he nodded to indicate his agreement with his suggestion and said, "I will go find grandpa!"

"Well, that's no problem. I will help you with it as soon as possible." Ho Ying-tung made the assurance again.

Now Lu Shaohua felt relieved, smiled and said nothing more.

The two exchanged a few words, but it was thrilling, at least, in the eyes of Li Zeju, Li Zijian, and Chen Chao Thaksin, it was thrilling. What? Buy a private jet? A plane is not a car or a bicycle, which can be bought with a few hundred or a few million. It is a plane that flies in the sky, and it cannot be bought without tens of millions.

This kind of crazy behavior may only be done by Lu Shaohua, the behind-the-scenes boss of Phoenix Group. As for them, it may be possible in ten or even dozens of years. While they were surprised, they were envious. Think about it, other people go in and out on airplanes, while they can only sit on four-wheeled cars on the ground. It forms a sharp contrast, one is the sky, the other is the earth!

Lu Shaohua didn't know what Li Zeju and the other three were thinking. It wasn't that Lu Shaohua didn't notice them, but that their thoughts were hidden, so Lu Shaohua couldn't see anything from their faces.

Of course, even if Lu Shaohua saw their wonderful expressions, he would not say anything. After all, it was only the 1990s, and buying a private jet as a means of transportation was not something that ordinary people could imagine. Only Lu Shaohua, a reborn person, would have such a wild idea.

Half an hour passed as Lu Shaohua and Huo Yingdong chatted. At two o'clock, Li Shangkui and others came down from upstairs dressed neatly. Lu Shaohua knew it was time to leave, so he stood up and said, "Let's go."

Lu Shaohua had four cars, one for himself and three for his guards. Together with the eight cars of Ho Ying-tung and his men, there were a total of eleven cars, forming a small convoy that headed towards the customs.

This car dealership is very unique, with four luxurious extended Phoenix cars, four ordinary black Phoenix cars, and three models that have never been seen before. However, it is not difficult to tell from the logos on the front of the cars that they are all produced by the same company, Phoenix Group. Another one is a high-end extended car that looks noble and elegant, with a special appearance. It is also a model that has never appeared before, and it also has the Phoenix car logo.

That’s right, the car with a special appearance is Lu Shaohua’s car, a new explosion-proof and bulletproof car. It is also the only Phoenix car of this type on the market. It is unique and one of a kind.

It has to be said that Lu Shaohua's new car is remarkable in terms of both design and appearance. It is comfortable and stable to sit in, and has excellent driving performance. The most important point is that it is safe. It cannot be penetrated by bullets or exploded by bombs. It is no different from an iron barrel.

More than an hour later, the car entered Shenzhen and drove directly towards Bao'an. When they arrived at the base, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Lu Shaohua also knew that Ho Ying-tung and the others had to rush back in the evening, so without stopping, he took them directly to Chu Lei's office on the fifteenth floor.

The first thing he did when he entered the office was to see the projects. Chu Lei, who had already prepared a list, also took out the list for the other three to choose from. In the end, each of them decided on a project, then hurriedly said goodbye to Lu Shaohua and returned to Hong Kong.

Seeing the four of them rushing around, Lu Shaohua just shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said nothing more. He sent them downstairs. After watching their car drive away, he followed Chu Lei, who had come down to see them off, back to the office on the 15th floor.

After entering the base, Lu Shaohua drank a cup of hot water first, and then asked leisurely, "Nothing has happened in the base recently, right?"

"Everything is normal." Chu Lei smiled and said.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua nodded, very satisfied, and then asked, "How is the research on those technical materials going? How is the progress?"

Chu Lei was not a technical person, but after being at the base for so long, he had learned a lot and knew the value of the technical information. His eyes lit up, indicating that he was very excited. After a long while, he spoke. "Very good, very good."

After talking for a long time, Chu Lei couldn't utter a complete sentence, and his words were a bit irrelevant, like a bull's head talking to a horse's mouth. It was obviously caused by excitement, and Lu Shaohua was a little confused.

"What's going on?" Lu Shaohua was a little helpless.

"Oh, haha! I don't know what to say." Chu Lei scratched his head, took a deep breath, calmed down, and finally said, "I can't say it either. Anyway, it's very good. It's very helpful for our current hardware. As for the progress! It's not very fast. Although the hardware is the same, the technology is still different. It takes time for the two to merge."

In response to this, Lu Shaohua just waved his hand and didn't care. The speed of progress was really not important to Lu Shaohua now. The important thing was to develop a more advanced bull than others. This was Lu Shaohua's ultimate goal.

"As long as it's useful!" Lu Shaohua said with a smile.

"Oh! By the way, do you want to go and take a look?" Chu Lei asked hurriedly, as if he suddenly remembered something.

"No." Lu Shaohua refused. It wasn't that he didn't want to go, but it was already late. "I'll come back tomorrow."

"That's fine, there's no rush." ​​Chu Lei paused and said, "Wende came here this morning. His factory has been built and he's ready to hire people to start work. I gave him a project!"

"Well, what project should we give him?" Lu Shaohua asked.

"Little things like resistors and capacitors." Chu Lei said truthfully.

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua laughed and said, "This project is great!"

Just kidding, not to mention the production of computers, resistors and capacitors are needed for other things too. For example, the televisions and VCDs that have been almost developed at the base all need them. In the future, there will be more in the electronics field and the demand will increase, and Weng Wende's business will also increase accordingly.

Chu Lei also smiled. He heard the word "satisfaction" from Lu Shaohua's words. At the same time, he also knew that this was a growth project, which would be of great benefit to Weng Wende's future development. Naturally, he was happy in his heart.

"Try to do whatever you can for him." This was Lu Shaohua's last instruction, and then he stood up and prepared to leave.

However, it seemed as if God was deliberately teasing Lu Shaohua. When Lu Shaohua was about to leave, Chu Lei spoke up to stop him, forcing Lu Shaohua to stop and turn around to ask. "What's the matter?"
