Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 613 Storm (Part 1)

Having met many big shots, Lu Shaohua was not surprised. Moreover, his current identity was different from the past. Even if he had to meet the head of state of a country, it would not be a big deal. However, Lu Shaohua was China after all. Facing the head of state of his motherland, Lu Shaohua more or less retained respect. So before calling the chairman, Lu Shaohua was still a little excited.

But now that Zeng Jianguo hung up the phone, Lu Shaohua's heart calmed down. After thinking about it for a while, Lu Shaohua quickly understood that Zeng Jianguo probably called to ask for instructions, and then waited for approval from his superiors before giving Lu Shaohua the phone number.

But Lu Shaohua was wrong. Not long after he hung up the phone, Lu Shaohua's cell phone rang. The caller ID could not display the number and there was no way to know the source of the call. Lu Shaohua knew it must be a confidential call. He took two breaths to calm himself down and then pressed the answer button.

"Hello! I'm Lu Shaohua." Lu Shaohua's tone was very calm and polite. Of course, it was not overly respectful because Lu Shaohua used 'hello' instead of 'hello', which shows how arrogant Lu Shaohua is.

Is Lu Shaohua really arrogant? No, Lu Shaohua has never been arrogant. Even if his wealth has reached a terrifying figure and he has the Tiger Roar Base as a backing, he has never been arrogant. The fact that he did not use the word "hello" is not because Lu Shaohua is arrogant, but because with his current status, he can stand on the same level as the head of a country and does not need to deliberately respect him.

"Haha!" A chuckle came from the other end of the phone, very amiable, and said. "I heard from Mr. Zeng that you have something to talk to me about?

That’s right, the person on the phone was the No. 1 leader. Lu Shaohua had met him once and had heard his voice. Although the tone was a little off on the phone, Lu Shaohua still recognized it.

"Well, about Asia." Lu Shaohua said calmly. "When my grandfather was alive, he told me that there would be a chance to make a fortune with the country's funds like in 94. Now the time is almost right and the arrangements are almost complete. The only thing left is how much money the country needs to mobilize."

Lu Shaohua has lived two lives, and his mental age is over 40 years old. He has seen the new humans of the 21st century, so when facing the No. 1 leader, he remained calm, and his tone was the same, and formal.

"I know about the Mexican financial crisis in 94. Speaking of this, the country should thank you very much. In just a few months, you brought the country more than 97 billion US dollars in revenue, which added a lot of funds to the national treasury, haha!" The No. leader still laughed and then said, "It is now. I also heard Deng Lao say last time that you predicted that something big would happen in Asia. Now it seems that you are right. Well, let's do this, just like last time, let Lao Feng lead the team. As for the funds, the country needs money in many places now, so there may not be too much, billion US dollars."

"Okay, two hundred billion dollars." Lu Shaohua responded, thought for a moment, and then said, "Hong Kong will be returned soon. If I'm not wrong, the outbreak should have happened by then. Also, Hong Kong will probably be affected. I hope the country can prepare early."

What Lu Shaohua said went a bit off topic at the end, but it’s not Lu Shaohua’s fault. After all, it is certain that Hong Kong will be attacked. Lu Shaohua revealed it first so that the country can prepare early and will not be hesitant when the time comes.

"Well, I will ask all departments to pay attention to the situation over there." After the No. 1 leader finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then said, "If something happens in Hong Kong, I hope you can do your best to help."

Even though the No. 1 leader spoke calmly, he could not hide the meaning of his request. There was no other way. With the current strength of the country, there were ways to support Hong Kong, but it was too much trouble. After all, Hong Kong had only been returned to China not long ago, and everything had not yet been completely settled. If there was someone like Lu Shaohua, who was half a local and had strong strength, to help, Hong Kong would have no problem getting through the crisis.

Lu Shaohua also knew that it was impossible for a person like the No. 1 leader to beg him humbly. Now that he was asking in such a peaceful tone, Lu Shaohua was very satisfied and said, "I have a lot of investments in Hong Kong, and I will not let my assets shrink."

Although Lu Shaohua did not agree directly, protecting his assets from shrinkage means that he wants to protect Hong Kong. Giving Hong Kong a helping hand means he will help.

"it is good."

The call was finally made, and Lu Shaohua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Things became simple after that. He passed all the numbers to Li Yunqing, indicating his identity, and asked Li Yunqing to arrange an extra residence for the operation. Everything was then arranged.

In the blink of an eye, May came to an end and June arrived. On June 1st, International Children's Day, Lu Shaohua did not let the children celebrate the holiday happily. Instead, he held his mobile phone with a serious face and made a call.

"How is the fund mobilization going?" Lu Shaohua asked.

"As of today, there is still a shortfall of 950 billion US dollars out of the 50 billion US dollars." Li Zhijie on the other end of the phone said a little helplessly.

That's right, the person Lu Shaohua called was none other than Li Zhijie, who was far away in the Tiger Roar Base. He managed the finances of the entire Tiger Roar Base. At the end of last year, Lu Shaohua gave Li Zhijie half a year to mobilize 100 billion US dollars in funds. Now more than seven months have passed, and of course Lu Shaohua had to ask about the situation of the funds.

"What's going on? It's been more than seven months, why are we still short of 5 billion US dollars?" Lu Shaohua asked in a dissatisfied tone.

Of course Lu Shaohua was dissatisfied. He had only given Li Zhijie half a year, but now more than seven months had passed and he still hadn't mobilized the troops. It was Li Zhijie's fault. Of course Lu Shaohua was angry. After all, the most critical 15% of the 100 billion US dollars would affect Lu Shaohua's plan if something unexpected happened. Fortunately, Lu Shaohua was ahead of schedule and had not used the money until now. Otherwise, Li Zhijie would have become a sinner.

"Listen to me, some time ago, the base received a large order from a major customer in the Middle East. We had worked so hard to establish the connection, and if we don't take it, it will inevitably affect the relationship between the two. And it was because of that order that the base invested a lot of money, which slowed down the process. However, if it is urgently needed, we can always raise $100 billion. It's just that that will affect the normal operation of the base, so there is no need to worry about any accidents." Li Zhijie explained quickly.

Yes, Lu Shaohua had given the order more than seven months ago, and Li Zhijie knew that Lu Shaohua needed the money, so of course he didn't dare to joke around. Even if it meant offending a big customer, he would not hesitate. The reason why he chose this slow-moving tactic was entirely because Li Zhijie had the backup plan to quickly mobilize $100 billion, so he dared to accept the order.

Furthermore, Lu Shaohua had never asked Li Zhijie for funds, and Li Zhijie was not in a hurry until today, when Lu Shaohua came to ask for it. Li Zhijie had also mobilized 95 billion US dollars, and only needed 500 million US dollars. It would take only a moment to get it together, so there was no need to worry about any accidents.

After hearing the explanation, Lu Shaohua's dissatisfaction dissipated a lot. After thinking for a while, he said, "How about this, transfer the 950 billion US dollars first. As for the remaining 50 billion US dollars, I will give you half a month to slowly adjust it. We still have time."

"It won't take half a month. Give me three days, and I will transfer 50 billion US dollars over there in three days." Li Zhijie said confidently.

Come to think of it, the working capital of the Tiger Roar Base is hundreds of billions of US dollars. It would only take a moment to transfer 50 billion US dollars. It's just that Li Zhijie didn't want to transfer it in a way that would affect the normal operation of the base. Otherwise, how could it take three days?

"It's up to you. You just need to complete the task in half a month." Lu Shaohua said without any expression.

"Yeah." Li Zhijie on the other end of the phone responded, paused, and then changed the subject. "My wife has also come to Africa, but she stays in the base every day and has nothing to do. She wants to help find something to do. Do you think it's okay?"

There are too many secrets in the Tiger Roar Base. Lu Shaohua will not let outsiders touch the core secrets unless they are trusted. Li Zhijie's wife cannot be considered a trustworthy person. Li Zhijie knows this very well, so he asked Lu Shaohua for instructions and listened to Lu Shaohua's opinion.

"I have no objection, you arrange it." Lu Shaohua knew Li Zhijie too well. Even if Li Zhijie wanted to arrange something for his wife, he would not arrange something that would touch the core secrets. Therefore, there was no need for Lu Shaohua to raise his own opinions. However, Lu Shaohua still gave one more reminder in the end. "She can know other things, but she must not know about the secret base. Even if she is allowed to tell us that we are smuggling arms, she must not know about the secret base manufacturing weapons."

It is no longer a big secret that the Tiger Roar Base is smuggling arms. What others don’t know is that the arms of the Tiger Roar Base are actually manufactured by themselves, and there is a large-scale secret base under the base, which manufactures nuclear weapons, large warships, fighter jets and other military forces.

"I know, I'll make the arrangements." After a pause, Li Zhijie seemed to be thinking, and then said, "She is also a good businessman and is better at negotiation. Let's just let her go to the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group to help, and let her negotiate with them to buy oil fields and so on."

"Okay." Lu Shaohua agreed without even thinking about it, and then he joked, "You're not bad, you know how to make use of waste."

"Go, my wife is not useless. To be honest, she is very smart. If one day she doesn't want to stay here anymore, I want her to go to Hong Kong and join the Phoenix Group. She is definitely a first-class business genius." Li Zhijie said complacently.

Li Zhijie was answered by a silence for a long time, and then Lu Shaohua replied word by word. "The yellow… woman… sells… yellow… melons…"
