Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 462 Waiting for the Results

Deng Lao was also in a dilemma at this time. Lu Shaohua's words were very clear. Although they were a bit strong, Deng Lao could still understand them. To put it bluntly, they came to help the country's economic development and solve the employment problems of more than 40 workers. This was a great contribution. Now, they asked for % of the shares. How could Lu Shaohua not be angry?

However, Mr. Deng is a retired man after all. As the saying goes, one should not do what is not his responsibility. Even if he wants to say something good about Lu Shaohua, he is powerless. What he says is only for others to refer to. Whether it is adopted or not is another matter.

But will the top management reject Lu Shaohua’s request?

No, at this moment, rejecting Lu Shaohua's request would mean solving the employment problem of more than 100,000 people, as well as the impact of the withdrawal of investment and the country's reputation. Anyone with a little bit of common sense would not reject Lu Shaohua's request.

So although Mr. Deng remained silent on the surface, he actually discussed with the person sitting next to him for a while, and finally gave an answer, agreeing to Lu Shaohua's request.

But Elder Deng did not tell the result immediately, but asked tentatively, "Xiaohua, is there no room for maneuver in this matter?"

"No." Lu Shaohua spoke without even thinking, paused, and continued, "Grandpa, you know my character. If someone treats me well, I will treat him ten times better than him, but if someone bullies me, I will also return the favor ten times."

"Ah!" Deng Lao sighed into the phone, but he didn't give up and continued. "But have you thought about the consequences? The country needs stability, not chaos."

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua laughed. He had already calmed down a lot, but after hearing what Deng Lao said, his anger suddenly rose again. He said in a cold voice, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. If I had stopped it earlier, this wouldn't have happened."

At this point, Lu Shaohua didn't care who the other person was. Even if it was to Old Deng, Lu Shaohua dared to say such impolite words and became tough. After all, reason was on his side.

What's more, what Lu Shaohua said was all true. If he had known that a situation like this would happen, why didn't he stop it when they issued the joint inspection?

"..." Elder Deng was speechless. Just as Lu Shaohua said, after a pause, Elder Deng continued, "How about this, let's just get rid of the person behind the scenes, and forget about the mayor of Shenzhen and the people behind him!"

This is a compromise, and it is also a bargaining with Lu Shaohua. If it is put on the business table, it is bargaining and negotiation, but the advantage of this negotiation is on Lu Shaohua's side, and Deng Lao can do nothing about it.

However, from what Mr. Deng said, Lu Shaohua did learn one piece of information, that is, the person who ordered the joint inspection was not the same person as Mayor He.

"No!" Lu Shaohua did not back down at all, and continued to give his reasons. "I hit Mayor He, which is no different from hitting the man behind him in the face. If I let it go, I will have to deal with all the troubles he has caused me in the future."

After finishing his words, Lu Shaohua paused for a moment, and then continued in a deep voice, "If you don't remove the roots, they will grow again in the spring breeze. I will not give the enemy a chance to revive. Since they have already done it, I can only rest assured if I eliminate all their power."

Lu Shaohua acted as if he was not willing to negotiate.

Yes, Lu Shaohua is strong, but the strong background is also caused by anger. Phoenix Group is such a big group, and Mayor He is a smart person with a high position. He cannot be unaware of the strong background of such a group, but he still took action against Phoenix Group.

what does this mean?

This means that the people behind him also agree with his approach. This is a disguised form of cooperation, which was carried out with the tacit consent of the people behind him. If we want to investigate, he can be considered as an accomplice.

How could Lu Shaohua let go of those who participated in this incident? If he was going to do it, he would do it thoroughly. This was Lu Shaohua's principle of doing things. Only when the enemy was beaten to the point where there was no possibility of turning over, Lu Shaohua could rest assured.

At this moment, Mr. Deng didn't think as much as Lu Shaohua. It wasn't that he couldn't think of it, but he didn't have the energy to think about those complicated things. After all, solving the complete withdrawal of Phoenix Group and preserving the country's image were the top priorities.

"Xiaohua, always leave some way out so that we can meet again in the future." Old Deng still didn't give up and advised.

The fall of two high-ranking officials at once was a huge impact on the country's political situation. Mr. Deng was well aware of this, and he could only persuade Lu Shaohua to let go.

"Hey!" Lu Shaohua sighed, then said, "Grandpa, you don't need to say anything more. I will not change my decision. You can tell the people above that this is my opinion. It is up to them whether they do it or not. Well, if this matter is handled, I will remember this favor from the country and will also give the country a big gift."

Lu Shaohua's words sounded a bit like inducement, but they were also giving the country a way out.

"Okay, I remember your gift." After saying that, Mr. Deng hung up the phone.

After talking on the phone with Mr. Deng for nearly half an hour, Lu Shaohua felt a little tired. After putting the phone back in its place, he lay down on the sofa, closed his eyes, rubbed his forehead, and then he returned to normal.

Lu Shaohua didn't speak, but that didn't mean Chu Lei had no questions to ask. He heard the entire conversation between Lu Shaohua and Deng Lao, and could guess the final result, so he couldn't help but ask. "Are you still preparing to withdraw your investment?"

"Continue." Lu Shaohua said two words lightly.

Although he had reached a conclusion with Deng Lao, how could Lu Shaohua know what the ending would be? To put it bluntly, Lu Shaohua did not trust those senior executives, and at this critical moment, if Phoenix Group did not make a bigger move, those senior executives would think that he, Lu Shaohua, was just joking.

Therefore, we must not only continue to prepare, but also make a bigger move. "Let everything run, let the outside world see our determination. If this matter is not resolved by tomorrow morning, then all investment will be withdrawn."

"Okay." Chu Lei nodded, responded, and started to work.

As for Lu Shaohua, after instructing Chu Lei to do something, he picked up the phone on his desk and called Chen Guobang. The content of the call was very simple. He asked Chen Guobang to step up his investigation into the matter and to get the results before tomorrow morning.

Chen Guobang also knew that this was an extraordinary period and he did not dare to be negligent. In addition, the intelligence network that had been established for several years was extremely complete. It would be easy for him to investigate this news now. There was no difficulty and there was no problem in making the guarantee.

After finding out the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, Lu Shaohua had only one goal, which was to see tomorrow's results and whether the top management would really do as he asked. If they managed to get away with it, Lu Shaohua would not discuss it further and would withdraw his investment.

"Huh!" Lu Shaohua let out a heavy breath and murmured to himself. "Tomorrow, everything will depend on tomorrow."

The result will be known tomorrow. Whether Phoenix Group will stay or go will depend on tomorrow.

The arrival of night means the end of a day, while the arrival of light, on the contrary, tells people that a new day has arrived.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Lu Shaohua got up, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and then sat blankly beside the phone, waiting for news.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon, an hour had passed and the clock struck eight.

Lu Shaohua glanced at the time shown on the clock, then looked away and continued to be in a daze. He looked very calm, but his mind was not as calm as his face. Four big words flashed in his mind: "One hour."

Yes, there is only one hour left before the appointment with Mr. Deng. If there is no news after one hour, Lu Shaohua will give the order to withdraw investment without hesitation, and he will leave Shenzhen and the land that raised him. Whether he will have the chance to come back in the future depends on the circumstances.

Lu Shaohua was unwilling to leave the land where he was born and raised, but he had no way back. He had already gambled everything. If he lost in the end, he would no longer have a place to stand in the country.

Lu Shaohua had thought about these things a long time ago, but he still made such a decision. As the saying goes, it is better to lose the battle than the battle. Lu Shaohua could not afford to lose, and did not want to lose. He was determined to release the final CD.

Time flies, and soon more than half an hour has passed, with only about twenty minutes left. At this time, Lu Shaohua's heart has calmed down. He is no longer as confused as before. He stares at the clock in a daze, waiting for time to come.

"Ring, ring."

When the phone rang, Lu Shaohua immediately picked up the receiver without even looking at the number and put it to his ear. "Hello!"

"Xiaohua, I've found out. The other party is..." The call was from Chen Guobang, who gave the information he had found back to Lu Shaohua. He hung up without saying anything more.

Phoenix Group was going to withdraw all its investments, and Chen Guobang, the Phoenix security guard, had a lot of things to do, so he didn't have much time to chat with Lu Shaohua. Well, even if Chen Guobang wanted to chat with Lu Shaohua, Lu Shaohua wouldn't say much to him, after all, Lu Shaohua was still waiting for a call.

Lu Shaohua put down the receiver gently with a calm expression. He looked at the time again and saw that there were only fifteen minutes left until nine o'clock in the morning. After another fifteen minutes, everything would be settled.

Fifteen minutes was neither long nor short and it passed in the blink of an eye. The clock hanging on the wall also struck the time and the phone rang at the same time.

Lu Shaohua knew it was Mr. Deng calling, he knew it without looking at the phone number, but the result was still unknown.
