Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 476 Being Followed

Lu Shaohua's age and identity are both surprising. Although he wore a suit this time and looked more mature, and his eyes revealed a sense of vicissitudes, anyone could guess his age, which was only in his early teens or twenties.

Phoenix Group was revealed to be the 1987th largest group in the world. Some people have known about the development history of Phoenix Group for a long time. They know that it was Phoenix Financial established in and then developed into its current scale in just eight years. Who would not be surprised?

Furthermore, through Philip and the reporters just now, most people also knew that Lu Shaohua was the founder of Phoenix Group, so everyone had to ask themselves in their hearts, how old was Lu Shaohua when he established Phoenix Group.

Fortunately, everyone present had seen many storms and soon calmed down. After everyone calmed down, Lu Shaohua continued to speak. "Phoenix Group was officially established at the end of 1987. It has been eight years now. From a small comprehensive company to the 8th in the world, it has achieved a very good result. Here, I am very grateful to the employees and management of Phoenix Group. It is them who made Phoenix Group develop into what it is today. At the same time, I am also very grateful to the organizers. It is the organizers who gave me the opportunity to stand here and say these words."

"Pah, pah."

There was a warm applause in the venue, which lasted for nearly a minute.

A minute later, the applause stopped. Lu Shaohua smiled and nodded slightly, thanking everyone for their applause, and then continued, "Eight years ago, I founded Phoenix Group on a whim. Today, I have achieved such success. I am proud of it, and at the same time, I am also very excited. After all, this achievement is unprecedented and will never be repeated."

"Thank you everyone!" These were Lu Shaohua's last words. He then left the podium and handed the time over to the host.

When Lu Shaohua walked down from the podium, the cameras in the hands of the reporters were also killing the film and taking pictures crazily.

Fortunately, Lu Shaohua had gotten used to the flashing lights just now, and was able to adapt to them again. He smiled and waved to the reporters, then walked towards where Liu Mingzhang was standing.

No matter how disproportionate Lu Shaohua's age and status were, representatives or bosses from other groups were very willing to establish good relationships with this upstart. When Lu Shaohua walked down and passed by them, they would take the initiative to extend their hands to shake hands and say hello to Lu Shaohua.

In response to this, Lu Shaohua also smiled. In the business world, one more friend means one less enemy. However, no matter whether the other party was insincere or not, Lu Shaohua politely extended his hand, shook hands with everyone, exchanged a few simple words, and then turned to the next target.

After walking and stopping for a while, it took Lu Shaohua nearly five minutes to return to his original position. He remembered that the last person who shook hands with him was the president of the world's number one group. He exchanged a few words with Lu Shaohua and said there was a chance for cooperation.

Lu Shaohua didn't mean to refute him. He smiled and agreed. Then he came to Liu Mingzhang, took the wine handed to him by Liu Mingzhang, clinked glasses with Lu Shaohua, drank the red wine in one gulp, and toasted silently.

He, Lu Shaohua, succeeded. Yes, he succeeded. He had drawn the spotlight to himself and achieved his goal. He believed that before tomorrow, the name Lu Shaohua would be known all over the world.

Of course, the banquet has just begun, and Lu Shaohua is not sure how the media will report it. He will have to wait until it is over to know how they report on Lu Shaohua and Phoenix Group.

However, Lu Shaohua could have anticipated one thing.

"Legendary Chairman", Lu Shaohua believes that there will be many articles with this title. After all, his experience can definitely be called legendary.

Getting back to the topic, after Lu Shaohua finished his speech, the cocktail party officially began. Several representatives of the organizer and the CEOs or representatives of the top 50 group companies gathered together and started chatting with their glasses raised.

There was naturally no need for much explanation for some people who were familiar with each other, so they all gathered together. As for those who were not familiar with each other, they also got to know each other through the social platform of the cocktail party and started chatting afterwards.

Lu Shaohua was no exception. As a new upstart, he was the object of many people's flattery, especially those group companies that were ranked lower. They couldn't help but come to Lu Shaohua and intend to get to know him.

Lu Shaohua's social skills have never been revealed, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to socialize. On the contrary, his social skills are no worse than anyone else's. After all, he has lived two lives! In addition, he has seen people and things in the 21st century in his previous life, and his grasp of human nature has reached an unprecedented level, so he can handle it with ease.

Liu Mingzhang completely became a supporting role, a very good translator. If Lu Shaohua could understand, he didn't say anything. If Lu Shaohua couldn't understand, he would whisper a few words in Lu Shaohua's ear. He was a completely qualified translator.

The cocktail party lasted for two hours before everyone dispersed. After the cocktail party, Lu Shaohua took Liu Mingzhang back to the room, planning to stay in the United States for another day.

At the party, Lu Shaohua drank a lot of wine. He was fine at first, but when he returned to his room, he felt the aftereffects of the red wine. He felt dizzy and fell asleep after a while.

When he woke up, it was already six o'clock in the evening. Lu Shaohua rubbed his aching head, sat up, washed up, and then called Li Shangkui and others to go downstairs for breakfast.

After a late meal, Liu Mingzhang and his wife took their son to go shopping on the street alone. Lu Shaohua was bored, so he took Li Shangkui and others out to see the night view of Washington.

However, not long after Lu Shaohua and his group left the hotel, Li Shangkui became cautious, looking around, sometimes turning his head to observe the situation behind him, and after confirming, he whispered in Lu Shaohua's ear, "We are being followed."

"Oh!" Lu Shaohua was stunned and stopped naturally, wanting to find out what was going on.

But Li Shangkui did not give Lu Shaohua a chance, but pulled Lu Shaohua to continue walking forward, and whispered, "Keep going forward, others have discovered it."

Lu Shaohua did not speak, but nodded gently and continued to move forward as Li Shangkui said. Li Shangkui quickly passed the information that they were being followed to Yang Yang and others, asking them to be careful.

Yang Yang and his men were all former special forces, so they had naturally seen a lot of things like this. They all nodded slightly and moved closer to Lu Shaohua to deal with any emergencies that might occur.

After a while, Li Shangkui paid attention to everything around him and finally came to a conclusion. He whispered in Lu Shaohua's ear, "The people following us are not simple. They are all armed and there are quite a few of them, about twelve. Well, this number is only on the surface. There is no way to know the number in secret."

Lu Shaohua was very calm and nodded gently. His brain worked quickly, thinking about the other party's intentions. Soon, Lu Shaohua came to a conclusion.

"Kidnapped."

Yes, this was the final conclusion that Lu Shaohua came to. He believed that the other party wanted to kidnap him, and they were targeted when they attended the gathering of the world's top 50 people. The enemy should have come to kidnap him in exchange for money.

"Is there any way to kill them and get away safely?" Lu Shaohua asked in a low voice.

Lu Shaohua's idea was very simple. Since everyone was targeting him, it was impossible for him to leave without being noticed. He could not leave quietly, so the only way was to kill this group of people and then leave.

At any time, personal safety is the most important. Lu Shaohua has no intention of dealing with this group of people, nor does he think about what is behind them. His only thought is to leave safely and investigate again after he is safe.

"It's difficult." Li Shangkui shook his head and then explained in a low voice, "The other side all brought weapons, it's difficult to deal with them."

When coming to the United States, Li Shangkui and his companions did not have legal gun licenses, and they did not carry guns. The chances of winning a fight with their bare hands against twelve or more armed people were not high, which is why Li Shangkui said it was difficult.

If Li Shangkui and his men were each given a gun now, Li Shangkui could almost say without hesitation that there would be no problem at all.

But reality is always cruel. Li Shangkui and his men did not bring guns, and they had to protect Lu Shaohua's safety, which would distract them and make it much more difficult to fight against the enemy.

Helpless, Lu Shaohua was very helpless at the moment. At the same time, he also blamed himself for being careless. If Li Zhijie and others had sent a few guns, he wouldn't have to worry about anything. However, Lu Shaohua thought that he would only stay in Washington for a day or two to attend such a party, so there was no need to make it so complicated. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen now...

"No way out?" This sentence flashed in Lu Shaohua's mind, and the expression on his face became more and more serious from the relaxed one just now, and then it turned cold, and he asked Li Shangkui next to him angrily. "Find a way to get out, don't worry about anything else."

"I understand." Li Shangkui nodded gently, and then said, "We are now on the street. The other party didn't attack us because there are too many people and it's not convenient for them to act. As long as we go to a place with fewer people, they will definitely attack us."

Li Shangkui quickly came to the conclusion. It had been more than 20 minutes since they walked out of the hotel. They had been walking along the busy street, and the other party had not taken any action. So this conclusion was completely correct.

"Safety is the most important thing. Try every possible way to get out." Lu Shaohua gave the order in a cold voice. As for how to get out, Liu Mingzhang was an expert, and he, Lu Shaohua, could not provide any ideas...
