Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 70: Finding the 'official system'

Lu Shaohua came to Weng Wende's restaurant as if he was escaping. As soon as he entered, he saw someone who left a deep impression on him. Yes, this person did leave a deep impression on him. She was the snobbish waitress who asked their boss if his name was Weng Wende when Lu Shaohua first came to Shenzhen. It was because of her snobbishness that Lu Shaohua had a deep impression of her. "Is your boss here?"

"Oh! It's you! Hello, our boss is in the office. I'll go and inform you right away." The waiter thought that the person came to the restaurant to eat, but when he took a closer look, he realized that it was Lu Shaohua. He quickly smiled and pretended to inform Weng Wende.

"Haha, no need. Just go about your business. I'll go find him myself." Lu Shaohua waved his hand, turned around and walked towards Weng Wende's office.

Arriving at the door of Weng Wende's office, Lu Shaohua knocked on the door. Not long after, Weng Wende's voice came from inside.

Lu Shaohua gently opened the door and went in. He saw Weng Wende sitting at the table, flipping through the account book with his head down. He didn't care at all who came in. Lu Shaohua didn't disturb him. He walked lightly to the chair in front of the table and sat down, waiting for Weng Wende's reaction when he looked up with a playful look on his face.

Weng Wende heard the sound of the door opening, but because he was checking the accounts at a critical point and could not be distracted, he did not even raise his head. However, after a while, the person who came did not speak, which made him very strange. After hearing the sound of the door opening, there was no movement, so he had to raise his head to see who it was.

As soon as he raised his head, his eyes shrank and he rubbed them, thinking he had seen it wrongly. But it was indeed Lu Shaohua that he saw. "Hahaha, when did you come back? I thought I had seen the wrong person!"

"Oh, big bosses are different. They only care about money and not people!" Lu Shaohua acted like I was a small fry.

"You are here to mock me again, right? Don't you see how much money your family makes? It is now several times my total assets. Alas, the public has sharp eyes." Weng Wende had a sad face, as if he was pitiful. But what he said was true. A restaurant only makes tens of thousands of yuan a month, while a fruit shop is different. If it is the lychee and longan season, the money earned in a month is more than ten times that of a restaurant.

"Oh, look at how pitiful you are, it's not that serious." Lu Shaohua has been with Weng Wende for so long, doesn't he understand him well? Acting pitiful is his strong point.

"Hehe! I'm not going to talk nonsense with you. Why did you come back? Aren't you doing fine in Hong Kong?" Weng Wende's expression changed faster than a book. He looked pitiful just now, but now he suddenly became serious.

"I have important things to do when I come back. I may have to stay for one or two months." Lu Shaohua also became serious. Why was he so anxious to find Weng Wende? In fact, he needed his help. When he first came to Shenzhen, he saw that Weng Wende could open such a big restaurant. Lu Shaohua knew that he must have an official backer, but he didn't know how high the official position was.

And Lu Shaohua's first purpose in coming back this time was to buy the land where the Window of the World was built in his previous life. The area of ​​that land is not small, and Lu Shaohua also wants to buy the piece of land behind it, so it would be difficult to reach an agreement without official acquaintances.

"Important things? What's so important?" Seeing that Lu Shaohua didn't seem to be joking, Weng Wende became curious.

"Well, how should I put it? I made a small fortune in Japan, and I want to find a project to invest in here." Lu Shaohua knew that Weng Wende was different from others. He would get to the bottom of things once he made money, so Lu Shaohua did not hide it and told it directly.

"Do you have a project?" Weng Wende was so smart. He had been torturing Lu Shaohua all the time. He knew that he would never fight a battle without confidence. Since he said he wanted to invest, he must have a project in mind. As for why Lu Shaohua came to tell him, he said he couldn't guess, but since Lu Shaohua had said so much, he would definitely tell him the purpose. He was not in a hurry. He would first find out what the project was and see if he could invest in it.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua nodded and pointed in the direction where the Window of the World was built in his previous life. "The land outside."

"You want to buy that piece of land?" Weng Wende couldn't believe it. Although the piece of land was large and worth some money, what Weng Wende was thinking at this moment was what Lu Shaohua was going to do with that piece of land?

"Yes, I want to buy that piece of land, but I don't have any official acquaintances, so it may be difficult to buy it. That's why I came to you." Lu Shaohua felt that it was time to state his purpose. There was no point in beating around the bush. After all, the two families were old friends, and he didn't believe that Weng Wende would not help. Of course, if Weng Wende didn't have the ability to help, that would be another matter.

"Can you tell me what you are going to do with that piece of land? Build a factory, a building?" Weng Wende thought for a while. He had the ability to help, but he had to ask what it was going to be used for to see if it was worth investing in. On the one hand, he was checking for Lu Shaohua, and on the other hand, he wanted to see the "money prospects" of the project so that he could talk to Lu Shaohua about participating in the investment.

"No, we won't build a factory or a building." Lu Shaohua shook his head, indicating that Weng Wende had guessed wrong.

In fact, there were two meanings to Lu Shaohua's shaking his head. The first was that Weng Wende guessed wrong, and the second was a helpless sigh. He didn't understand Weng Wende's thoughts. It was just that investing in the Window of the World project was extremely expensive, and the money Weng Wende had was like a drop of water in the ocean. It was impossible for him to participate in it. What's more, he was unwilling to let others participate.

"So what are you going to do with it?"

"I plan to build a large tourist attraction there that integrates tourism, leisure and entertainment." Lu Shaohua said all the words in one breath, but added one more sentence in his heart: "But that will happen in a few years."

"Travel? Leisure? Entertainment? Attractions?" Weng Wende was a little overwhelmed. He really wanted to take a knife and chop open Lu Shaohua's head to see what he was thinking about.

"That's right." Lu Shaohua answered affirmatively. In fact, he built the Window of the World to commemorate his rebirth, but he also wanted to make money. In his previous life, Shenzhen became one of the most developed cities in the country, and the level of consumers improved. A ticket to enter the Window of the World reached 140 yuan, and the price was increased during holidays. This was a way to make money, so how could he miss it?

"Can it make money?" This is the issue that Weng Wende is most concerned about at this moment. He doesn't know anything about this tourist attraction, but in the final analysis it is still a question of whether it can make money.

"Haha, you can make money for sure, but Brother Wende, the investment is huge." Lu Shaohua's words were obviously telling him that the investment is huge and your money is not enough.

"Oh!" Weng Wende was a little disappointed and sighed.

"Okay, stop sighing, can you help me?" Lu Shaohua had no choice but to think about whether there were any small projects he could do, but it was not the right time now, and if he wanted to help him, he had to wait until after 1989.

"I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee 100% success. I can only say that I'll try my best." Weng Wende thought about it, considered the pros and cons, and decided to give it a try.

"Well. Now that we've finished discussing the serious matters, shouldn't you, as the big boss, show some local courtesy? I came all the way back from Hong Kong and showed up at your place the second I could." When Lu Shaohua learned that Weng Wende could give it a try, he knew that his backer was still influential, otherwise he would definitely say that he was powerless.

"Hey, you little devil, you come to exploit me again, have pity on me."

"Here they come again, here they come again. Go and ask the kitchen to prepare some delicious food. I guess Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle and the others will be here soon." Lu Shaohua was completely speechless. Sometimes Weng Wende was so serious that it was scary, and sometimes he was so unserious that he was completely unruly.

"Got it. I'll go right away. If you want to drink tea, go ahead and do whatever you want." Weng Wende said as he stood up and walked towards the door.

"understood."
