Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 496: Proper Arrangements

Early the next morning, Lu Shaohua gathered people and rushed to the new villa, where he began to direct the delivery of furniture and daily necessities. It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that everything was ready. Lu Shaohua finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he found a professional moving company to go to the old residence to move some things over. It can be said that the move and relocation were completed at the same time.

At one o'clock in the evening, the bodyguards from Africa finally arrived. There were 40 of them, and they also came with two brand new helicopters. Lu Shaohua also knew about the arrival of the helicopter, so when he sent someone to pick up the plane, Lu Shaohua specially arranged two freight trucks to go together to transport the plane.

There are more bodyguards around Lu Shaohua, and they follow him when he goes out every day. The two helicopters he used to have could still be used, but with the addition of thirty bodyguards, plus the two previous helicopters, there are four helicopters in total, and it is difficult to fit thirty-eight people.

Fortunately, Africa has a lot of aircraft technology and a lot of funding to support research, so it is no problem to make a more advanced aircraft. Lu Shaohua has already ordered them to build a small private plane for him to use when he goes out.

By that time, Lu Shaohua would be able to sit in a special plane with four helicopters escorting in front and behind, forming a flying team.

Of course, it would take some time for the small special plane to be manufactured. According to Xie Jianwei's estimate, it would take at least two months for the special plane to be manufactured. Lu Shaohua was not in a hurry, and he could still wait for two months.

Besides, Lu Shaohua is busy with other things now, so he doesn't have many planes available. The two months of time just spent filling up the vacancy does not conflict with Lu Shaohua's schedule.

But for now, Lu Shaohua still has to make arrangements for the forty people who came here first. You know, among these forty people, Lu Shaohua plans to arrange ten people to go back to his hometown to protect his parents. So after they arrived in Hong Kong, Lu Shaohua picked out ten people as soon as possible and asked He Qiang and others to drive two helicopters to send them back to their hometown. As for the gun license, he will have someone send it over in a few days.

Forty people came over, and ten of them left at once. The remaining thirty people were taken back to the villa by Lu Shaohua, who arranged for them to rest first, and only then did they relax.

The helicopter transported this time was different from the last time. Only some large parts were disassembled. As long as you refer to the drawings, you can reassemble it yourself. It was precisely because it didn't require so much trouble that Li Zhijie did not send a mechanic over, and planned to have Lu Shaohua's people install it themselves.

When the people arrived, Lu Shaohua of course had to say hello to Li Zhijie, so he picked up the receiver and dialed a number.

"Brother Zhijie, the people are here." Lu Shaohua spoke after the call was connected.

"Okay." Li Zhijie on the other end of the phone replied calmly, then changed the subject and asked, "Did they give you a few large password boxes when they went there?"

"Password boxes?" Lu Shaohua was stunned, a little overwhelmed, and after thinking about it, he was relieved and asked back. "Four black boxes, right?"

"Yes, those are the four." Li Zhijie seemed to be relieved. He hesitated for a moment before continuing. "The four boxes contain forty-eight pistols and fifty-six magazines. Well, the pistols are made according to your requirements and can pass security inspection. Also, the bullets in the pistols are commonly used bullets and do not need to be specially matched."

Lu Shaohua had instructed last time that he wanted to manufacture a pistol that could pass security checks so that he could take it with him when traveling abroad. This wish was soon realized. In more than ten days from the time he had instructed to now, the pistol was manufactured in Africa and sent to Hong Kong. The speed was unusually fast.

"I understand. I haven't looked at those four boxes yet. Let's look at them later." Lu Shaohua seemed somewhat happy, and his tone of voice was much more relaxed.

"Okay." Li Zhijie responded, paused, and then continued, "Well, due to the urgency of the time, the number of guns to be manufactured is large. So far, only 48 guns have been manufactured. But don't worry, I have asked people to hurry up. It won't take long to manufacture some powerful guns. I will have someone send them to you when the time comes."

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua responded. He was always very confident in Li Zhijie's work, so he didn't say anything else. He changed the subject and asked, "How is the investigation of the American incident going?"

Li Zhijie on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped talking, and after a long while he spoke, "The person involved was killed by our people, and all the clues were cut off. We didn't find any other results, but don't worry, I have someone investigating, and I will tell you as soon as I have any news."

It has been confirmed that there is a hidden story behind the fact that Lu Shaohua almost lost his life in Washington. Lu Shaohua has always wanted to know the secret behind this, but the clues were cut off and Lu Shaohua was helpless.

He sighed softly, feeling somewhat unwilling, but still said, "If you can't adjust it, forget it. Don't focus all your energy on something so vague."

Lu Shaohua wanted to know the truth and to find out the enemy behind it, but things had come to this point and Lu Shaohua had nothing to say. As he said, don't focus all your energy on Piaomiao's affairs, you should pay more attention to the arms business.

Of course, Lu Shaohua didn't just give up like that. In Lu Shaohua's opinion, if the enemy behind him dared to target him once, he would definitely do it a second time. Now his defense force has increased, and his safety is not a problem. If he attacks again, it will not be difficult for Lu Shaohua to find clues and find out who the enemy is.

"Ah."

Although Lu Shaohua was a little disappointed with the result that there was no answer, some things cannot be forced. Lu Shaohua was very clear about it. He shook his head to stop himself from thinking too much, took a hot bath, and went to bed to sleep.

The next day, as soon as Lu Shaohua got up, he called He Qiang and asked him to go to the Guangzhou Military Region to get back the forty gun licenses, and then take ten pistols, twenty magazines and some bullets. After getting the gun licenses, he would send them back to his hometown and then return to Hong Kong.

He Qiang used to be a bodyguard of Zhongnanhai. He was always quick in doing things. After receiving Lu Shaohua's order, he drove a helicopter towards Guangzhou.

Lu Shaohua's villa was not idle either. After He Qiang left, Lu Shaohua took the lead in getting to know the new bodyguards. After getting to know them one by one, he asked them to install the two brand new helicopters.

This time is different from the last time. The two helicopters delivered last time were old and second-hand. This time is different. They are brand new and just came out of the factory. In addition, the control equipment inside has also been improved a lot, which has brought the helicopter to more than one level.

More importantly, the two helicopters this time have added something, a weapon system is installed under the fuselage, which has its own combat power. Of course, what is loaded is not a missile, but a machine gun, which can shoot targets at low altitude.

As the installation came to an end, Lu Shaohua had a smile on his face and felt indescribably satisfied.

At this point, most of everything has been completed. The next step is to obtain the legitimate identities of the thirty bodyguards. Yes, a legitimate identity is very important. For example, Li Shangkui and his men have the rank of major and an official identity.

Of course, Lu Shaohua was also able to arrange an official identity for the 30 new people, but Lu Shaohua didn't want to do it. He didn't want to trouble Mr. Deng anymore, so in the end he simply didn't make the arrangement and let them serve only as bodyguards. Anyway, they had legal gun licenses, so they had nothing to be afraid of.

Having made the decision, Lu Shaohua did not do anything else. The most important thing at the moment was to let Phoenix Group quickly register another oil subsidiary, which also meant that Phoenix Group began to enter the oil industry.

As the owner of Phoenix Group, Lu Shaohua would not be present at everything in person. He only summoned Liu Mingzhang, Qin Sichen and other senior executives of the company and held a small meeting in the new villa, and the matter was settled.

Half a month later, the subsidiary Phoenix Petroleum was officially listed and established.

The current identity of Phoenix Group is different from before. It used to be a huge company in Hong Kong, but now it can be regarded as an international giant. The move of establishing an oil company has naturally attracted attention from the outside world. Within a few days, news of Phoenix Group's entry into the oil industry was broadcast all over the world.

A week after Phoenix Petroleum was established, Phoenix Group welcomed a guest, a man who had met Lu Shaohua and Liu Mingzhang once before - Philippe Watts.

Philippe Vaz came here on behalf of Royal Dutch Shell and brought with him a cooperation plan. His goal was simple, which was to cooperate with Phoenix Group in the oil sector.

Lu Shaohua was not that arrogant. When Philippe Vaz arrived in Hong Kong, he personally met with him and began to discuss cooperation.

The cooperation plan of Royal Dutch Shell is very complete and comprehensive, revealing a message that it wants to cooperate with Phoenix Group in all aspects, whether it is refining crude oil, natural gas, gasoline, diesel and other fuels.

But to put it bluntly, Phoenix Petroleum is now a shell company. What can Lu Shaohua use to cooperate with them?

Does Lu Shaohua have oil?

The answer is very affirmative: yes, and quite a few.

It's just that Lu Shaohua doesn't want to take it out now. Most of his oil is stored. He only takes out the part needed for the Tiger Roar Base and doesn't let it flow out to the market. Therefore, the cooperation plan with Royal Dutch Shell cannot be achieved. However, everything can be flexible. The inability to cooperate in all aspects does not mean that the two companies cannot cooperate. If comprehensive cooperation is not possible, then one-sided cooperation can be achieved.
