Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 472: The Opportunity to Step on Stage

Lu Shaohua's English level is okay, but just okay, not first-rate. If he goes to the United States to participate in such an event, he will make a fool of himself if he makes any mistake. Lu Shaohua is the boss of a company ranked among the top 50 in the world, so he naturally cannot afford to make such a fool of himself.

Since he couldn't make a fool of himself and Lu Shaohua's English was not very good, he could only take an interpreter with him. But taking that interpreter with him gave Lu Shaohua a headache. If he took someone he was not familiar with, Lu Shaohua would feel uneasy. If he took someone he was familiar with, it seemed that there was no suitable candidate.

His eyes rolled around and scanned the four people in the office, finally stopping on Qin Sichen, but after a while they moved again and scanned the three grown men including Liu Mingzhang.

When Lu Shaohua looked at them, Liu Mingzhang and the other three were all confused. They didn't know what was going on. Especially, there was something wrong with the look in Lu Shaohua's eyes. They were naked when he looked at them, which made them feel something was wrong.

Lu Shaohua definitely did not mean anything, and his eyes did not mean anything either. While he was selecting the right person, he was secretly considering whether the person was suitable.

Originally, Qin Sichen was the most suitable person to go with him. Not only had she lived in the United States for more than ten years and had an excellent level of English, she was also familiar with the American environment. In addition, she was the executive president of Phoenix Group, so she was the most suitable person to go.

But now the normal operation of Phoenix Group is completed by Qin Sichen, and the group cannot do without her. Therefore, Qin Sichen cannot go. Then, Lu Shaohua shifted his attention to the other three people. The English level of the three of them is no problem and they can pass the test, but who has a mission and who does not need to be considered.

Finally, Lu Shaohua stopped his gaze on Liu Mingzhang. Lu Shaohua thought that Liu Mingzhang was more suitable. He did not need to interfere too much in the affairs of Phoenix Group. He had just returned from Mexico and needed to rest for a few days before officially carrying out the task assigned to him. During the rest period, he could go to the United States with him.

What is more important is that Liu Mingzhang is the deputy executive president of Phoenix Group. Although he has gradually faded out of the outside world's sight, he is still the deputy executive president of Phoenix Group and the youngest financial expert in Asia. When he goes to the United States, those people dare not look down on him.

Of course, there is another candidate who is more suitable, that is Li Zongen, but he is the manager of an offshore company. Now he has been given 20 billion US dollars in funds. He will probably take action after a few days of rest. He will not go to the United States with Lu Shaohua.

As for Li Yunqing, he didn't want to think about it. There were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in Hong Kong, so it wouldn't work. Therefore, Lu Shaohua finally chose Liu Mingzhang.

After checking the invitation time, I saw that there was still a week left. This week was just enough time for Liu Mingzhang to have a good rest, and then I would follow him to the United States to participate in the event.

With a plan in mind, things became much easier. Lu Shaohua spoke directly. "Mingzhang, I'll give you a week to rest. After a week, you will accompany me to the United States. Um, you, the vice president of the group, can act as a translator."

"Going to the United States?" Liu Mingzhang frowned and asked.

"Yes, it's to the United States." After saying that, Lu Shaohua threw the invitation letter to Liu Mingzhang without waiting for him to react, and asked Liu Mingzhang to go and see it himself. At this time, Lu Shaohua's voice also sounded very cooperatively. "Just look at this and you will know."

"Oh!" Liu Mingzhang responded, took the invitation letter thrown by Lu Shaohua, opened it, and began to read it carefully.

Ever since the invitation letter passed from Qin Sichen's hands to Lu Shaohua's, it has attracted everyone's attention. Just now it was in Lu Shaohua's hands, and Li Yunqing and others were embarrassed to ask Lu Shaohua for it to look at it. Now that it has fallen into Liu Mingzhang's hands, they naturally found an opportunity and leaned close to Liu Mingzhang and started to look at it.

After a long while, about three minutes, the three of them finished reading the invitation letter, and Liu Mingzhang closed it again. However, he did not ask Lu Shaohua why he asked him to be a guest translator, but asked in surprise, "Our group has been selected as the 37th strongest in the world?"

That’s right, the group companies that received the invitation this time are among the top 50 in the world, and Phoenix Group is ranked 37th, which means it is the 37th in the world. Although the ranking is a bit low, it does not affect the strength of Phoenix Group. What’s more important is that Lu Shaohua does not mind this ranking.

Come to think of it, the real strength of Phoenix Group is probably even better than that of the number one group. It is just hidden in the dark and not exposed. Otherwise, the number one group would have to stand aside.

However, Lu Shaohua is still somewhat self-aware. He is not proud of owning hundreds of billions of dollars, nor does he not want to be proud, but Lu Shaohua knows the truth of the saying "there are mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people". Those families with hundreds of years of inheritance probably have assets dozens or even hundreds of times that of Lu Shaohua, but they are hidden, and coupled with their extremely powerful strength and power, they are not included in the ranking.

Of course, Lu Shaohua would not be hit by someone being stronger than him. He also understood that he was a strong potential stock with great stamina. It was not impossible for him to be on par with those old families in the future. The important thing was that he was willing to work hard and history would not change. Then, he would not have no chance to surpass those old families.

Lu Shaohua was always aware of his position, neither too high nor too low. As for why Liu Mingzhang was suddenly surprised, Lu Shaohua also understood. After all, Liu Mingzhang was a veteran of the Phoenix Group and held the financial power of the Phoenix Group. He knew how powerful the Phoenix Group was. What surprised him at the moment was that he was suddenly rated. Did it mean that the Phoenix Group had exposed all its assets?

"Last week, I asked Li Yunqing to announce that the Phoenix Group in Hong Kong and the Phoenix Group in Shenzhen are part of the same company." Lu Shaohua's words sounded a bit irrelevant, but they explained the reason.

Liu Mingzhang was also a smart man, and he understood it immediately. However, he suddenly had a new question. "You want to attend this event in person? Are you planning to step out of the front desk?"

Liu Mingzhang's words hit the nail on the head and also revealed Lu Shaohua's next plan, which made Lu Shaohua appreciate it from the bottom of his heart. He nodded and said, "Yes, I'm always behind the scenes. People still think I'm a little brat."

"You? Little brat? That's bullshit." Liu Mingzhang was very excited when he finished speaking. He took a deep breath in the middle, as if he wanted to calm down, and then said with a smile. "You are a typical pig pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. Whoever treats you as a little brat will be unlucky."

"..." Lu Shaohua was speechless for a while, but thinking back over the years, he felt that what Liu Mingzhang said made sense. Over the years, he treated Lu Shaohua like a little kid. He was either shocked by the disproportion between Lu Shaohua's age and status, or was severely beaten up by Lu Shaohua. It was indeed a bit like playing the pig to eat the tiger.

Shaking his head with a wry smile and sighing, Lu Shaohua said with emotion, "Mingzhang, you are in Mexico, watching the stock market and exchange rate all day long, and you may not know the details of the situation in Shenzhen. It is precisely because I hide behind the scenes all day long and have no influence that those cats and dogs come to bully me. This time, being selected as the world's 37th strongest can increase the popularity of our Phoenix Group. At the same time, I can also expand my international influence... Hey... It's time to stand up. It's only a matter of time."

Lu Shaohua had never thought of hiding behind the scenes forever, but he felt that the time was not ripe before. The same is true now. The time is not ripe, but there is a good opportunity, an opportunity where the stage is set and waiting for Lu Shaohua, the protagonist, to appear. So, Lu Shaohua decided to step out and change his previous plan.

However, Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen were stunned when they heard Lu Shaohua's words. They knew that Lu Shaohua rushed back to China at that time, but Mexico was in a critical period at that time, so he did not pay attention to the news. This also caused the blockage of information and they were completely unaware of the situation.

"Oh!" Liu Mingzhang responded, and then asked the question that Li Zongen also wanted to know the answer to. "What happened in Shenzhen?"

Lu Shaohua did not answer, but shifted his gaze to Li Yunqing and signaled with his eyes.

After receiving Lu Shaohua's signal, Li Yunqing also understood the meaning, nodded gently, and explained to Liu Mingzhang and the others in a low voice...

It took Li Yunqing nearly three minutes to introduce the general course of events to Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen.

The two people's reactions were different. Li Zongen was relatively calm, but the expression on his face was not good, and he seemed very angry.

Liu Mingzhang was different. After hearing this, he got angry. He had participated in the development of Phoenix Group from 1987 to now, which lasted for 8 years. He had a deep affection for the group. His face was full of anger and he said in a deep voice, "Xiaohua, give me billion funds and I will go to the mainland to create a financial crisis."

Twenty billion, only twenty billion is needed. Lu Shaohua did not dare to doubt that Liu Mingzhang was bragging. With the domestic financial system just starting out, many things were still being done by trial and error and were still in the trial stage. If twenty billion yuan were really transferred to Liu Mingzhang, Liu Mingzhang could really create a financial crisis in the country.

He shook his head with a wry smile, then gave up and said, "Forget it, it's all over, and the top management has given me a reasonable response, so there's no need to make trouble again."

After that, Lu Shaohua obviously didn't want to talk about the incident in Shenzhen anymore, so he changed the subject and said, "One week later, you will go to the United States with me. This matter is settled."

"Okay." Liu Mingzhang nodded heavily, then smiled like a fox, and said, "Hey, free travel, um, expenses are reimbursed, and you can bring your family members, it's cost-effective, so there's no reason not to go."

"Get out of here!" Lu Shaohua had a dark face and almost pissed Liu Mingzhang off to death, he yelled in a bad mood.
