Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 668: Injection of Fresh Blood

The Tiger Roar Intelligence Network has been in a state of only investment but no income, which is what Lu Shaohua does not want to see. Therefore, when the time is ripe, Lu Shaohua starts his long-planned plan to sell intelligence. In addition to this, Lu Shaohua has another plan targeting the entire Tiger Roar Base to seek development for the future of the Tiger Roar Base.

The main source of income for the current Tiger Roar Base is the arms business. It is no longer the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group of the past. Instead, the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group has become a foil, serving the oil plan.

Since the arms business is the key to the entire Tiger Roar Base, where do the arms come from? They come from the secret base. The secret base contains a large number of world-leading technologies, and all of this comes from the large number of military talents in the secret base.

This is where the problem arises. A large number of military and industrial talents in the secret base came from the Soviet Union. Some of them are already in their sixties or seventies. After nearly ten years, some of them can no longer use their smart brains and stay in the Tiger Roar Base to enjoy their old age.

This was the promise Lu Shaohua made when he was recruiting talents. Not only would he give them a lot of money, but they would also be well guaranteed for the rest of their lives. On the day they retired, the Tiger Roar Base would make arrangements for them, whether they stayed at the Tiger Roar Base or went somewhere else.

Having worked at the Tiger Roar Base for nearly ten years, many military talents have developed feelings for the base, so after retirement, in addition to sending their next generation out, they stay at the Tiger Roar Base to truly enjoy their old age.

It is precisely because some military and industrial talents can no longer give full play to their remaining energy that the military and industrial talents in the secret base are reduced one after another. Although the secret base will not be in a state of talent shortage in the short term, it will definitely not work in the long run.

Without the injection of fresh blood, the secret base was doomed to fall into complete ruin. This was something Lu Shaohua did not want to see, nor did Li Zhijie and Xie Jianwei. However, Li Zhijie and the others had thought about this problem, but ultimately they were unable to find a complete solution.

The only problem that can be solved is the descendants of the original military and industrial talents. Some of them are interested in scientific research. Inherited from their fathers, they continue on the path of scientific research. The Tiger Roar Base is basically their home. Why not work for there instead of for their home?

However, scientific research requires years of experience accumulation, and it is impossible to participate in deeper work in a short period of time. Therefore, if this continues, the secret base will be in a lack of successors and will gradually decline.

The things researched in the secret base can be the greatest guarantee for the Tiger Roar Base. If the secret base is lost, the Tiger Roar Base will be in danger. Lu Shaohua had considered this problem a long time ago, but he never took action. The reason is simple: there is no large amount of funds.

The arms business is very profitable, but can Lu Shaohua’s oil plan be stopped?

The answer is obvious. The oil plan cannot be stopped. Since it cannot be stopped, the money earned from the arms business, in addition to a portion being used to supply the normal operation of the base, the rest will be invested in scientific research and oil.

The funding arrangement is very tight. If the Tiger Roar Base wants to recruit military and industrial talents to join, it must spend a lot of money. According to Lu Shaohua's preliminary estimate, this amount will probably be more than 500 billion US dollars.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Shaohua would feel double the pressure with 500 billion US dollars, but it is different now. The Asian financial crisis has swept in, giving Lu Shaohua an opportunity to make a huge profit. In addition to keeping part of the funds in Phoenix Group, he can consider investing the rest in Tiger Roar Base.

However, it is not easy to recruit military and industrial talents. Many of the stronger military and industrial talents work for some countries and organizations. It is not easy to poach them. However, Lu Shaohua always believes that as long as the hoe is used well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down.

With money and a good development space for them, Lu Shaohua doesn't believe that there are no military talents who would not be tempted. More importantly, the secret base has many world-leading technologies, which is a very attractive option.

But before that, it is necessary to do a good job of investigation and prepare the candidates for poaching. All this requires a lot of work. Lu Shaohua prepared for the rainy day and had instructed Li Zhijie to do the preparation work.

"Expand the intelligence network and investigate whether there are any military talents that match the research of our base. If so, focus on investigating them, then contact them and try to poach them to inject fresh blood into the secret base." Lu Shaohua said heavily.

Li Zhijie didn't say anything in a hurry. He was silent for a long time before he said helplessly, "I need money."

"I know you need money." Lu Shaohua said indifferently, and after a moment's silence, he said, "After this financial storm is over, I will transfer 500 billion US dollars to you so that you can poach talents and develop secret bases as much as you want."

Lu Shaohua had already planned for 500 billion US dollars. According to the current situation, the money earned from this Asian financial crisis will exceed 1 trillion US dollars.

Yes, there should be no problem in breaking through the trillion dollar mark. A rough estimate shows that in the first phase of the financial crisis, Lu Shaohua has made a net profit of more than 400 billion US dollars. In the next two phases, there should be no problem in making another 600 billion US dollars.

It was just that the variable of Hong Kong appeared in the first stage, which caused Lu Shaohua to invest more than 400 billion US dollars. As a result, a part of the original 200 billion US dollars of principal was cut off, and the remaining more than 100 billion US dollars was reserved as entry funds for the second stage.

To put it bluntly, Lu Shaohua now has little left on hand except for more than 10 billion US dollars, and this more than 10 billion US dollars is still useful and cannot be used. It is impossible to transfer it to Li Zhijie.

There is another funding gap. Lu Shaohua is very troubled by this problem. On the surface, he seems to be doing very well. In the first phase of the Asian financial crisis, he made a net profit of more than 400 billion US dollars. However, in order to save Hong Kong, Lu Shaohua has a funding gap.

Fortunately, there were no more problems where money needed to be spent, and the money earned could be used directly. This allowed Lu Shaohua to promise Li Zhijie that he would give him 500 billion US dollars after the Asian financial crisis ended.

Li Zhijie knew very well how much money 500 billion US dollars was. Now that Lu Shaohua had spoken, he would give him 500 billion US dollars to develop the secret base. He was so happy that he said with a smile, "As long as your money is in place, I will recruit people. As long as there are people who are useful to our secret base, I will recruit them for you."

Li Zhijie is full of confidence!

Come to think of it, in Li Zhijie's view, money is infinitely omnipotent. As long as there is money, there is nothing that cannot be done. Recruiting some military and industrial talents is even easier. He will invest money desperately and he doesn't believe that he won't be able to recruit people.

But in Lu Shaohua's opinion, Li Zhijie was still careless, and couldn't help but say, "Some things are not as simple as you think. Many military talents now work for the country and certain organizations. It is not easy to dig them out and ensure their absolute reliability."

It is already a headache to find a reliable person, let alone snatching food from a tiger's mouth, which is even more difficult. Lu Shaohua had to consider this problem.

Li Zhijie could hear the heaviness in Lu Shaohua's words. After thinking about it carefully, he knew how difficult it was. He couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. He took a few breaths in succession before calming down and regaining his fighting spirit. "Don't worry, I will poach people at all costs, even if it means taking some measures."

Means, what is a means? When Li Zhijie said this, he was referring to only one thing, that is, dark means. It is not difficult to imagine how good the dark means mentioned by an intelligence chief would be.

In order to achieve the goal, no matter what the cost, Lu Shaohua also agrees with this point, because Lu Shaohua has done this before. In order to achieve his goals and fulfill his dreams, he will do it at all costs!

"You can use tricks, but you have to arrange them well, otherwise you'll be discovered. Even if we recruit people, they won't be able to work for us sincerely. You have to find a balance in this regard and don't mess things up." Lu Shaohua couldn't help but remind him.

What Lu Shaohua needs is a group of military and engineering talents who are willing to work for him sincerely, rather than a group of military and engineering talents who are half-hearted, unwilling, and reluctant to work for him. In that case, it is hard to say whether a big chaos will occur.

"Don't worry about me." Li Zhijie was more confident than ever before, and his words revealed a signal all the time, as if he wanted to tell Lu Shaohua: "If I can't do this little thing well, I'm not Li Zhijie."

Lu Shaohua didn't need to worry about Li Zhijie's work style and his smart brain, and now after his own reminder, Lu Shaohua had reason to believe that Li Zhijie could get things done, so he didn't say anything more and changed the subject. "How is your wife? Are you used to staying there?"

Li Zhijie and his wife are both in Africa. Lu Shaohua couldn't bear the situation there, it's very bad. But Lu Shaohua couldn't bear to see both of them staying there. So it was inevitable that Lu Shaohua would show concern for them in his free time.

"She's fine. She runs around all day and is very happy." Li Zhijie smiled and said.

"That's good."
