Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 701: Inspecting the Base (Part 1)

It was impossible for Lu Shaohua to visit all the production workshops in the Phoenix base in one afternoon, so after visiting the beverage production base, Lu Shaohua decisively paused and went to Chu Lei's office, intending to understand the basic situation of the entire base through documents.

Phoenix Base, and even the entire Phoenix Group, will have a summary at the end of every month. This has been the rule since the establishment of Phoenix Group, and it was also set by Lu Shaohua. The same is true for Phoenix Base. Chu Lei has the habit of summarizing every month, which allows Lu Shaohua to have traces and documents to look at.

For the entire afternoon, Lu Shaohua was immersed in the densely packed text. Although Lu Shaohua hated reading documents, it was related to the situation of the entire Phoenix Base. Since he hated it, Lu Shaohua had to force himself to read it.

It took a whole afternoon to understand the situation of the entire Phoenix Base. When the sun was setting, Lu Shaohua had just finished reading the documents. He closed the thick folder, took a deep breath, rubbed his eyes, and said a few words to Chu Lei before leaving the Phoenix Base and returning to his villa in Shenzhen.

In the evening in Shenzhen, the street lights are all on. Occasionally, people can be seen walking on the side of the road, in a hurry. They must have just got off work and are anxious to return home.

This is the pace of life in Shenzhen. People are always in a hurry, rushing to work, rushing home after get off work, eating, and resting. Some young men and women take some time to date, go shopping, and occasionally enjoy a nightlife, and then wait for the next day to come.

Looking at the crowd on the street, Lu Shaohua was deeply touched. In his previous life, Lu Shaohua lived in Shenzhen for ten years. During those ten years, Lu Shaohua's pace of life was always in a hurry. It was not until the later period that Lu Shaohua successfully applied for the job as the technical director of an Internet cafe. Then he went back and forth between the dormitory and the workplace.

But now everything has changed. Lu Shaohua is now a real billionaire and no longer has to live the same life as in his previous life. His family no longer has to call him every year to urge him to go home for the New Year, and his parents no longer have to be busy in the fields all their lives like in his previous life.

Everything has changed after starting over again. Although Lu Shaohua is under pressure all the time, he does not regret it. God has allowed him to start over again, and Lu Shaohua will defy fate and completely change his destiny from his previous life.

Facts have also proved that Lu Shaohua was successful. In his previous life, he was extremely poor and his family lived a poor life. Now, that is no longer the case. His family lives a wealthy life, and Lu Shaohua himself has countless wealth, forming a sharp contrast with other people. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as one is heaven and the other is earth.

With his thoughts in a mess, Lu Shaohua looked at the people and scenery outside the car window in a daze. The memories of his past life and what he saw with his own eyes now merged and were secretly compared in his mind. However, Lu Shaohua forgot how luxurious his motorcade was. There were eleven cars in a row, all of which were high-end Phoenix brand cars. It was so spectacular that it naturally attracted the attention of curious people.

Fortunately, the convoy was moving quite fast and passed by in a flash. The people on the street could only watch the convoy go away, feeling envious, and then watch the convoy leave their sight and disappear.

After returning to the villa, Lu Shaohua felt a little tired. He called Weng Fuming, an old friend whom Lu Shaohua called uncle, to send some food over. Then he went into the bathroom to take a shower, went downstairs to eat, took a short rest, and then went to bed.

When the next day's sunlight shone through the window into the room, Lu Shaohua opened his eyes, looked at the time, and found that it was already late, so he got up and washed up.

Lu Shaohua came to Shenzhen, and although he would stay for a while, he was not in a hurry. But now that he was here, Zeng Yuling and Chiyoko Andeng were not in Shenzhen, so Lu Shaohua could only devote all his energy to work.

Inspection is what Lu Shaohua must do at this stage, and the first stop of the inspection is not somewhere else, but all the bases in the Phoenix Base. Yesterday, we visited the beverage production base, so today we will visit the automobile production base, computer production base, home appliance production base, and Phoenix Security.

Coming to Shenzhen, Phoenix Security's headquarters is inside the Phoenix Base, so Lu Shaohua naturally had to meet with Chen Guobang and take a look at the situation inside, so Phoenix Security became Lu Shaohua's first stop for inspection today.

The result is also obvious. Chen Guobang did not disappoint Lu Shaohua. He made Phoenix Security well organized, like a large enterprise with strict discipline and closed management.

Chen Guobang is from the army, but he has been retired for many years. In addition, he has been in the business world in recent years. Both his personality and handling style have changed a lot, which is also an important reason why Phoenix Security has become what it is today.

Of course, Phoenix Security has another feature, which is the atmosphere of a military camp. This is the only thing that Chen Guobang has not changed. He has never forgotten that he was once a soldier, and the people recruited by Phoenix Security Company are all retired soldiers, which makes Phoenix Security have a more military atmosphere.

The current atmosphere of Phoenix Security is all thanks to Chen Guobang alone, because Phoenix Security has always been managed by Chen Guobang alone, and Chu Lei has not been involved. Now that the results are out, of course Chen Guobang should be credited when it comes to commendation.

However, given the relationship between Lu Shaohua and Chen Guobang, there is no need to talk about merits and demerits. To put it bluntly, Chen Guobang is now a member of the Lu family, and Lu Shaohua does not need to say those polite words to Chen Guobang.

Chen Guobang didn't need Lu Shaohua to thank him or commend him. After Lu Shaohua inspected the Phoenix Security, since there were still some things he needed to take care of, Chen Guobang had to say goodbye and leave, letting Lu Shaohua go to inspect other places alone.

The first stop of the day has been inspected, and the next stop is set at the Phoenix Automobile Production Base. However, the Phoenix Automobile Production Base is at the back of the entire Phoenix base, so Lu Shaohua has to spend some time on the journey.

The Phoenix Base is so huge that if you walk from the entrance of the Phoenix Base to the back, it will take at least twenty minutes, and that's at a brisk pace. But if you stroll, it will take at least half an hour to get there.

It took Lu Shaohua fifteen minutes to reach the Phoenix Automobile Production Base, which was a 10-story building that was used to produce Phoenix Automobiles. The building didn't look very special, but when he walked in, Lu Shaohua realized that everything was wrong.

Since it is a car manufacturing facility, the first and second floors are the final processing steps for the car manufacturing process. Therefore, when designing the building, we had to add a staircase, a smooth staircase that allows cars to drive down from the second floor.

There is a large square under the car production workshop. Under the square is a car warehouse. All cars are produced and inspected and passed and then sent to the underground warehouse for storage.

Lu Shaohua naturally went to the underground warehouse to have a look. He knew the underground situation completely from Chu Lei's introduction. The underground warehouse has two floors and occupies a large area. The largest car parking capacity reaches 876.

Hearing this number, Lu Shaohua was also shocked, but thinking of the sales of Phoenix Automobile, Lu Shaohua was relieved. If there was not such a large space, Phoenix Automobile would probably not be able to supply it.

However, this number is far from enough to meet the demand. What can be met now can only be said to meet the current needs. With the changes of the times and the increase in private car ownership, Phoenix Automobile is destined to increase its production, and the storage capacity of the warehouse must also be increased.

So, Lu Shaohua gave instructions on the spot, requiring Chu Lei to be prepared to increase production. It is necessary to plan ahead so as not to be timid and nervous in the future.

Chu Lei seemed to be self-aware, but in Chu Lei's plan, he believed that the current automobile production base had reached its limit. Not to mention that only more than twenty floors could be built when the foundation was laid, the underground warehouse below had also been excavated to its limit and there was no way to expand the space. If he wanted to expand the scale of the entire production base, he had to build more buildings and then dig underground warehouses.

"My idea is to buy the small hill near our base, then renovate it and expand it." Chu Lei expressed his idea, then looked at Lu Shaohua, waiting for his response.

As for Lu Shaohua, he didn't rush to say anything, but watched the elevator numbers keep jumping, and asked after a long time, "Has the land on the hill behind been sold?"

It is easy to buy a piece of land. Lu Shaohua has plenty of money, but he is afraid that the land has already been owned and the owner will not be willing to buy it from him. If the land is still in the hands of the Shenzhen government, it will be much easier. He can just say hello to Zeng Aimin and get it smoothly.

"I've inquired about it. Since it's a small hill, it takes a lot of work to level it, so it has never been sold." Chu Lei gave a quick answer.

"Yes." Lu Shaohua nodded, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "Then buy it. Well, let's get it done in the near future, and then let Qi Quan and the others find someone to design the blueprints and start construction as soon as possible."

Lu Shaohua had no choice but to do this. The space in the Phoenix Base was very large, but there were already buildings in front of the car base, which could not be rebuilt. If he wanted to expand it, he had to find a way to do it in the rear.

Chu Lei also had the same idea, which eventually coincided with Lu Shaohua's idea. Looking at the current time, it was already the end of 1998 and was about to enter 1999. Lu Shaohua had to make up his mind and start construction.

1999 was a year of rapid economic development in China. With the rapid economic development, the demand for private cars increased. In addition, Lu Shaohua intended to compete for car market share in other countries and regions, so expansion and increasing production became a must.
