Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 528: Arrangements for Sali

Just as Lu Shaohua said, 'If others have feelings, we should be intentional'. Lu Shaohua has never treated meritorious officials unfairly. The military forces cultivated in the former Soviet Union have helped Lu Shaohua a lot over the years. Lu Shaohua will definitely not be ungrateful. What's more, they can almost be regarded as his own people, so he cannot treat them unfairly.

But everyone has their own aspirations, and some people are unwilling to come to Africa, a desolate place like this. Lu Shaohua can't force them, so for those who don't want to come, Lu Shaohua still wants to make a proper arrangement.

"Let's put it this way, for those who refuse to come, we will ask them what they plan to do in the future, and we will try our best to satisfy them. Well, there is also the issue of money. We will give them a large sum of money, a sum that will allow them to live a worry-free life for the rest of their lives." Lu Shaohua finally made the decision.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements." Li Zhijie paused and asked, "Now that we have developed the oil field, does that mean everything is over for us in the Soviet Union? The people who are still there don't have to come back with us, do they?"

Li Zhijie asked two questions at once, which stumped Lu Shaohua.

Lu Shaohua had never really thought about the issue of leaving people, but now that Li Zhijie brought it up, and with only one month left before the oil field development was completed, he had to think about this aspect.

"It's over." This was the final conclusion Lu Shaohua came to, and then he said, "The people over there should also come back. Well, they have been there for so many years and have worked hard. You tell our people that they can choose their future. Those who want to come to Africa to help can come, and those who want to go to Phoenix Security in Shenzhen can also do so. I will ask my brother to arrange for them."

When Chen Guobang left the Soviet Union, he handed over all his network of relationships to a special forces soldier who had followed him there. Now think about it, he had stayed in the Soviet Union for nearly ten years and now decided to leave. Lu Shaohua could not treat him unfairly.

"Well, there is no problem with these. I will arrange them. But I still have a problem. We have always had a relationship with the military, and the smuggling business is still going on. If we send all the people back, I don't think the smuggling business will be able to be done." Li Zhijie's considerations were very comprehensive. He thought about every detail, including the smuggling business.

If we don't talk about the smuggling business, Lu Shaohua had actually forgotten about it. Now that it was mentioned, Lu Shaohua remembered everything. He couldn't help but pat his forehead and sighed. "Hey, I almost neglected this. How about this, let's end the business."

The smuggling business was very profitable, but that was in the past. For Lu Shaohua now, that little money was nothing at all. It was over when it was over, and it was no big deal.

It’s just that ending the business may affect the three daily necessities factories in Shenzhen. After all, all the smuggled daily necessities over the years were produced by those three factories, and those factories have not expanded their domestic sales network. If a large order is suddenly cut off, it may have an impact.

After thinking for a while, Lu Shaohua felt that this problem had to be solved after all, so he suddenly stood up and said to everyone, "Let's stop here today. I'm going to make a phone call first, and then take a rest. We can talk about anything tomorrow. Well, I'm not coming back so soon this time, so there's plenty of time."

Having said that, Lu Shaohua turned around and left the meeting. Then, led by Li Zhijie, he walked upstairs. As he walked, he used the satellite phone to dial a number. It was to call Chu Lei.

The three daily necessities factories had always been managed by Sun Guangrong. If there was any emergency, Sun Guangrong would report directly to Chu Lei, but there was usually nothing urgent. Gradually, Chu Lei didn't care much about the problems there. Now that they were about to be ended, Lu Shaohua had to let Chu Lei, who didn't care much, worry about them.

The call was connected, and Lu Shaohua introduced himself, then quickly got to the point. "Do you remember the incident with the three daily necessities factories?"

"Oh!" Chu Lei on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned, and then he reacted and said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it. Um, what happened to the three daily necessities factories?"

"It's nothing. I'm planning to end it. I want to get rid of those three daily necessities factories. I want you to arrange it. Well, if possible, sell them to someone else." Lu Shaohua said lightly into the phone.

"Okay, I'll find a way." Chu Lei agreed without hesitation.

"Well, as for the factory director Sun Guangrong, he can't be let go. He is a talent. Bring him to the Phoenix Base and arrange for him to be the factory director." Lu Shaohua ordered.

Lu Shaohua attaches great importance to talents. Sun Guangrong has managed three daily necessities factories over the years and managed them in an orderly manner, which shows how capable he is. Although the daily necessities factories are going to be closed now, Lu Shaohua does not intend to close him too and has found a better way for him.

"Ok."

Lu Shaohua was a person who didn't like to talk too much. After finishing the main topic, he hung up the phone. At this time, Li Zhijie arrived at the room that Lu Shaohua had arranged. He opened the door for Lu Shaohua and let Lu Shaohua in. Then he said goodbye to Lu Shaohua and returned to his work station.

Lu Shaohua is now in the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group. He is in the best position here and does not need anyone's protection at all. He asked Li Shangkui and the others to rest, and then he picked up the phone and called Weng Wende.

Weng Wende also had a share in the Soviet Union's smuggling business. Now that the smuggling business was going to end, Lu Shaohua had to tell Weng Wende about it so that he could be mentally prepared.

After the call was connected, Lu Shaohua didn't say anything extra and went straight to the point. Weng Wende didn't say anything either and agreed right away.

To be honest, Weng Wende is no longer the same person he used to be. Like Lu Shaohua, he no longer cares about the money he made from the smuggling business. Now that it’s over, it’s over, and it won’t have much of an impact.

Come to think of it, with Weng Wende's current wealth, the money earned from the smuggling business is just a drop in the bucket. Giving Wende an order from the Phoenix Base would be enough for ten or even a hundred smuggling operations. Ending the risky smuggling business would also give him peace of mind.

Weng Wende agreed, and Lu Shaohua didn't say anything else. He let Weng Wende discuss anything with his father Weng Fuming himself. What he needed to do now was to have a good rest and then enjoy his trip to Africa happily.

When he woke up, it was already six o'clock in the evening. He washed up, ate some food brought by Li Shangkui, and quickly finished his work. Then he took Li Shangkui and his party downstairs to the secret base.

The Tiger Roar Base has changed a lot and is very different from before. Although it is still underground, it is obviously different from before. The space is now larger and brighter than before, and many new buildings have been built inside.

When they arrived at the main control room, Xie Jianwei and Li Zhijie were both there. I didn't know what they were talking about. When they saw Lu Shaohua coming, they stood up to welcome him and waited until Lu Shaohua sat down before sitting down.

"Have you all eaten?" Lu Shaohua asked.

"Ate."

Xie Jianwei and Li Zhijie both nodded at the same time and spoke in unison.

"That's good." Lu Shaohua said softly, and then asked, "What's the situation here?"

In addition to the defense system, the entire underground world in the main control room of the secret base has a monitoring system. Every corner can be seen through the cameras from the main control room. This is also where Xie Jianwei works. If there is anything happening outside, he will call here to report.

"Everything is normal." Coming to the secret base means coming to Xie Jianwei's territory. Here he has the final say and the words are in his hands. "But recently we are rushing to complete a large order. Well, this order is very strange."

"Strange? How is it strange?" Xie Jianwei's words aroused Lu Shaohua's curiosity, and he couldn't help but ask.

"An order for three short-range missiles and five hundred machine guns." Xie Jianwei spoke simply and to the point as he did in the past, without dragging his words or beating around the bush.

"Oh!" Lu Shaohua was obviously stunned, and felt a little unbelievable. This order was indeed a bit strange. Five hundred machine guns were normal, for use in war, but three short-range missiles were different. These were large-scale triple-damage weapons. "Where did you receive the order?"

"Saudi Arabia." Xie Jianwei quickly gave the source of the order.

"Saudi Arabia?" Lu Shaohua murmured, thinking for a while, and then asked again. "Is it ordered by their government?"

"It was ordered by a general of a warlord, and the price was a small oil field." This time it was Li Zhijie's turn to speak. He controlled the intelligence network and had a say in this matter.

"Haha! Interesting." Lu Shaohua laughed. He thought he had figured it out. Then he sighed and said, "Benefits can kill people. They are fighting for oil. Oh, it's another organization that wants to overthrow the government."

It is obvious that the purchase of three short-range missiles and five hundred machine guns is for use in war. Small battles do not require such weapons of high firepower and mass destruction. Only organizations that want to overthrow the regime will purchase them.

Therefore, Lu Shaohua could conclude that the warlord general mentioned by Li Zhijie wanted to overthrow the current government and take power himself. However, this was none of Lu Shaohua's business. He just wanted to make money from the oil fields.

But then again, the Tiger Roar Base is, after all, making a deal with an organization that is not yet in power. If their rebellion succeeds, that would be a good thing, but if they fail, then the oil fields obtained in the deal would be a problem.

"Although their affairs have nothing to do with us, our oil fields are over there. If an accident happens, it will be a big problem. You have to be careful." Lu Shaohua reminded.

"Don't worry, we won't do business with them if we are not 100% sure." Li Zhijie said with a smile, not caring.

This confused Lu Shaohua, and he asked, "Why is that?"
