Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 604: The Last Day of the Year

Four hundred million dollars to build a house. Even in the 21st century, no one would be so luxurious. Not to mention building it yourself, even buying it from a real estate developer would not cost so much money. However, Lu Shaohua mobilized four hundred million dollars to build a house.

In fact, Lu Shaohua wanted to build a house in his hometown for a purpose. In addition to having a place to live when he returns, another purpose is to provide a place for his parents, grandparents and sister to enjoy themselves, which can be regarded as a way of showing filial piety.

Another reason is for the safety of his family. Lu Shaohua's hometown was in a village with houses all around. If someone wanted to do something bad to his family, it would be too easy to sneak in. Even if Lu Shaohua sent ten bodyguards to his home and Du Xiaofeng and the other four who were to be arranged later, it would probably be difficult to control the situation.

But it is different now. Long before Lu Shaohua decided to build a manor-style villa, he had already thought of the location. He planned to build it on a hill not far from the village. As for the land issue, Lu Shaohua was not worried at all. After all, the current Lu family is no longer the Lu family of the past. With the exposure of Lu Shaohua's identity, not only in the world, but also in China, the current Lu family can be said to be a big family.

It is very easy for a big family to buy a hill of land to build a house. After all, the current policy has not reached the level of the 21st century. Land is allowed to be bought out. In addition, if you want to buy land, you only need to go through the town-level government, and then go up layer by layer to handle the formalities. With the reputation of the Lu family, there will be no big problem in buying it.

Lu Shaohua did not even get involved in the matter of buying the land, leaving it entirely to his father Lu Jiayao. When Lu Shaohua told Lu Jiayao over the phone that he wanted to build a villa, of course Lu Jiayao couldn't help but nag him.

Fortunately, Lu Shaohua had a killer move that made Lu Jiayao shut up completely. This killer move was nothing else but Lu Shaohua telling Lu Jiayao that he was going home to live for a while, and finally asked Lu Jiayao if his home could accommodate dozens of people.

Yes, the original house was no longer able to accommodate people. If a big villa was not built, where would there be place to live? In the end, Lu Jiayao had no choice but to agree, and he also said that he would negotiate with the people from the town government to obtain the land, and then cooperate with the construction team when they arrived to build it.

Lu Jiayao had no idea how much Lu Shaohua was worth, but he was not a fool. As his family had become wealthier over the years, they were no longer busy purchasing fruits. Instead, they handed it over to a few trustworthy people to take care of it, and he would just sit at home all day watching TV, reading newspapers, and so on.

After being exposed to the news, Lu Jiayao naturally saw the news about Phoenix Group. He also knew that Phoenix Group is now a group company with a market value of at least 200 billion US dollars. Who owns Phoenix Group? It is Lu Jiayao's youngest son, Lu Shaohua, who is only 18 years old. He can't help but feel very proud.

People living in the countryside are relatively simple. The news said that the market value of Phoenix Group was 200 billion. Lu Jiayao thought that Lu Shaohua had 200 billion US dollars. It didn't seem like a big deal to have a fortune of 200 billion US dollars to build a manor-style villa in his hometown. It was just a drop in the bucket.

In addition, Lu Jiayao is also vain. If he lives in a manor-style villa, one can imagine how jealous the villagers will be. That is a villa. The name alone is scary enough. You have to know that some of the houses where people in the village live are covered with tiles.

Various reasons led Lu Jiayao to agree, and Lu Shaohua finally broke into a sweat, secretly saying that he was lucky to be facing Lu Jiayao, if he was facing his mother Chen Li, he would probably nag her a few more times.

"Xiaohua, your mother is here. Do you want her to answer the phone?" Lu Jiayao asked at the end.

"Oh!" Lu Shaohua said with cold sweat on his forehead. "Dad, I'm busy at the company now. Call my mom when you have time. Well, you should go and take care of the land today. At the latest, a part of the construction team will arrive at home in two days. You should be prepared."

"it is good."

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua responded, then hung up the phone in a hurry.

Just kidding, if Chen Li snatched the phone away, it would be difficult for Lu Shaohua to hang up. He would have to let her nag for at least another half an hour. What's more important is that Chen Li is a stubborn person. She believes that money should not be spent. She would definitely not agree to something as expensive as building a manor-style villa.

I have to say that it was very wise for Lu Shaohua to hang up the phone in a hurry. The moment Lu Shaohua hung up the phone, the receiver in Lu Jiayao's hand was snatched away by Chen Li, but when she found that the call had been hung up, Chen Li was very angry.

"I say, why build a villa? Our house has only been built for a few years. We have to build another house and spend money. Even if Xiaohua is very rich now, he can't spend it like this. Ah, you agreed, huh!" Chen Li originally wanted to talk to Lu Shaohua, but now Lu Shaohua hung up the phone. She was so angry that she could only vent to Lu Jiayao.

Not yet, after letting out a breath, Chen Li still didn't give up, staring at Lu Jiayao and yelling, "You are already a very old man, but you still show off, you only know how to show off, are you afraid that others don't know that our family is rich? Ah! Do you think that building a villa will give you another asset to show off, and you can brag to others again? Humph, you still agree, agree, and you are so happy, you know that Xiaohua earned all that money through hard work, but you are so good, you are in your forties, not only did you not leave some assets for your son, but you used your son's assets to show off..."

It must be said. Chen Li was very strong and made Lu Jiayao speechless.

In fact, it's not that he was speechless, but Lu Jiayao himself was a half-bronchitis person. Besides, Chen Li was angry now. If he dared to talk back, she would scold him even more severely. Moreover, Lu Jiayao was also guilty. Ever since Lu Shaohua became rich, he always boasted about his family's wealth in front of relatives and friends. Now that Chen Li had said it out, he had no possibility of refutation.

……

At this time, Lu Shaohua, who was far away in Hong Kong, had no idea that a quarrel had occurred because of his plan to build a villa. If he knew, he would probably stand aside and laugh secretly, because his father Lu Jiayao was just that kind of person, always bragging in front of others and didn't know how to be low-key at all.

Of course, Lu Shaohua is not against being high-profile, but it depends on the situation. When necessary, the higher the profile, the better. But sometimes it is not necessarily the case. The higher the profile, the more likely you are to be seen as the one who sticks out, and you may be shot down one day.

However, Lu Shaohua was completely unaware of everything that had happened. Now that Phoenix Group was getting back on track, Lu Shaohua had to pay some attention to it. What's more, the end of the year was approaching, and with the arrival of the new year, Lu Shaohua had to redefine the development direction again.

The more businesses he expanded, the more things he had to consider. In addition, 97 was not a peaceful year. When making plans, Lu Shaohua had to consider everything carefully, otherwise he would not be able to predict what would happen.

Just like the last time, a small mistake led the Phoenix Group into crisis, which caused a chain reaction. All kinds of things happened one after another. Fortunately, the problem was finally solved, allowing the Phoenix Group to return to normal, and Lu Shaohua did not have to waste all his efforts over the years in the East China Sea.

If a small mistake can lead to such a situation, then what will happen if a mistake is made when formulating the general direction of development? Will it cause Phoenix Group to fall into crisis again, or will it cause Phoenix Group to disappear completely?

Lu Shaohua was not sure, nor did he dare to predict. So he could only be careful at every step.

It took Lu Shaohua nearly a month to work out the general development direction of the entire group for the next year, and he gave it to Qin Sichen to revise and improve it. By the time it was completed, it had unknowingly arrived on December 1996, 12.

The last day of 1996 is a very memorable day, but for Lu Shaohua, it is not a good day, because on this day every year, Lu Shaohua holds a summary meeting for the whole year.

Not only that, after the summary meeting in the morning, a company executive meeting will be held in the afternoon to discuss the development trends of the group next year.

It's the same every year, but the development trend is not in-depth. Just a little bit of the surface is mentioned. As for the in-depth, Lu Shaohua did not say much. After all, the formulation of the development trend is a secret of the group. If someone knows about it and takes targeted measures, it will be troublesome.

However, amid the discussion, Lu Shaohua also ended the last meeting of the annual meeting. Lu Shaohua no longer needed to be involved in the following matters because the dividend issue was not under his jurisdiction.

Yes, dividends were distributed. After a year of hard work, both senior and ordinary employees received dividends when they got off work in the afternoon of that day. Then they had a day off for New Year’s Day and officially returned to work on January 1997, 1.

In the evening, Qin Sichen came back after a busy day. She half-lay on the sofa as soon as she entered the door. She was obviously very tired, because the word "very tired" was written on her face.

"What's wrong? Are you tired?" Lu Shaohua asked with concern.

"Yes, today is the most tiring day of the year." Qin Sichen said helplessly.

Come to think of it, not to mention anything else, there are a lot of documents to sign, and he also has to summarize the group's situation for the year. It's a mess. How can Qin Sichen not be tired?

"Then don't cook, let's all go out to eat," Lu Shaohua suggested.

We are about to enter the year 1997, and on this special day, there seems to be nothing wrong with going out to celebrate and having a meal.

Qin Sichen didn't seem to object, he nodded and said, "I'll go change my clothes and then leave."

"Ah."
