Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 803 Final Result, Eating

In Lu Shaohua's opinion, the senior vice-state-level official had already gotten what he deserved, which was already a punishment. There was no need for Lu Shaohua to keep pestering him, and the matter had come to an end.

Yes, this matter has come to an end, but this is only relative to the vice premier. As for other officials, Lu Shaohua is still very interested in knowing their fate.

I still remember that Lu Shaohua had collected a lot of evidence about the vice premier. The evidence showed that most of the officials promoted by the vice premier were corrupt officials. Lu Shaohua also gave an order to Phoenix TV to expose the whole matter.

At that time, the country's top leaders also paid attention to this matter, but before Lu Shaohua went to Africa, the results did not seem ideal. It was obvious that the country's top leaders wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter.

Originally, those officials had no grudge against Lu Shaohua, and Lu Shaohua had no intention of dealing with them. But later, something unexpected happened, forcing Lu Shaohua to go back to his old ways and conduct comprehensive follow-up reports on the people involved, which forced the country's top leaders to take action.

Now, nearly three months have passed, and the matter should have come to a conclusion. Lu Shaohua really wants to know what the final fate of the officials involved in the case will be.

The result was just as Lu Shaohua had expected. According to the information collected by Chen Guobang, all the people involved in the case were punished. Some with serious circumstances were even sentenced to suspended death penalty. Many officials were removed from public office. There were also many officials who were given light sentences of a few years, accounting for two-thirds of the total.

From this, we can see that the country's top leaders did not show mercy, but instead severely punished the perpetrators without mercy. However, Lu Shaohua knew that there must be a black hand behind this matter, otherwise there would not be such a large-scale change.

This is how the Chinese Communist Party is. On the surface, it seems harmonious, but when the leader of a faction falls, there will always be people who take advantage of the situation. Among them, the Zeng family represented by Zeng Jianguo is definitely an important part.

Zeng Jianguo was a contributor to the founding of the country and a key part of the domestic political system. Although he also participated in the struggle, he would definitely consider the country. As for why he played the role of adding insult to injury, it was because he disliked those corrupt officials.

Don't forget that when Lu Shaohua passed the evidence to Zeng Jianguo, Zeng Jianguo made a big fuss in South China Sea. Suddenly, many officials were involved. How could Zeng Jianguo not feel heartbroken and severely punish those corrupt officials?

But then again, those things have nothing to do with Lu Shaohua anymore. Lu Shaohua has already learned the outcome, and his enemies have been punished. It seems that Lu Shaohua has nothing to do with this matter anymore.

Of course, Lu Shaohua got a more important piece of news from Chen Guobang, that is, the top leaders of the country wanted to restart the negotiations to purchase an aircraft carrier and wanted to buy the aircraft carrier technology from Lu Shaohua.

In response, Lu Shaohua smiled back, a very strange smile that made Chen Guobang's heart skip a beat and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Chen Guobang knew Lu Shaohua too well. Whenever Lu Shaohua showed an ambiguous smile at this time, Chen Guobang knew that someone was going to be in trouble. And now it was obvious that the unlucky person was none other than the top leaders of the country.

There are two possibilities. One is that Lu Shaohua does not sell, and the other is that Lu Shaohua sells at a high price.

If so many things had not happened, perhaps Lu Shaohua would have sold the aircraft carrier technology at a higher price, well, not too high. However, no one should have set their sights on Lu Shaohua, which led to his final resistance.

The relationship between the two sides became strained after they had fallen out. How could Lu Shaohua be as friendly as before? Therefore, Chen Guobang thought that either Lu Shaohua would not sell the aircraft carrier technology, or he would sell it at a terrifyingly high price.

Indeed, Lu Shaohua thought so, but he did not intend to sell the aircraft carrier technology at a high price. Lu Shaohua chose the first possibility guessed by Chen Guobang, which was not to sell it.

No, to be more precise, it should be not sold for the time being, and wait to sell it later. As for how long the wait will take, it depends on Lu Shaohua's mood.

Waving his hand, Lu Shaohua decided not to continue talking about this topic, and changed the subject, asking, "Which ore will account for the majority of the next batch of ore?"

"Mostly iron ore, this is what our partner wants. Well, our iron ore partner is a domestic steel group. Because our iron ore is of extremely high quality, they can't wait to buy more." Chen Guobang paused for a moment and then said, "We also sent the news back to Africa at the request of our partner, so that they can mine more iron ore."

Lu Shaohua has not paid attention to the mineral sector since the last arrangement, so he doesn't know the developments here. Fortunately, Chen Guobang is in charge of the warehouse and knows a lot of things, so Lu Shaohua doesn't need to ask Qin Sichen.

"Where is the gold? Has it been transported here?" Lu Shaohua asked again.

"Yes, but the quantity is not large." Chen Guobang nodded, and then explained, "Originally, a large amount of gold would have been shipped over this time, but it seems that the seal means that it is not necessary to ship it over for the time being, which has led to a reduction in the amount shipped."

Chen Guobang knew Liu Mingzhang. He did not know him from TV or newspapers, but from meeting him in person.

As early as 1987, when Chen Guobang was Lu Shaohua's bodyguard, he followed Lu Shaohua to the police station. At that time, Lu Shaohua happened to recruit Liu Mingzhang to be a police dealer. This led to Chen Guobang's contact with Liu Mingzhang, and thus he had a certain understanding of Liu Mingzhang.

The same goes for Liu Mingzhang. He knows that Chen Guobang's status is not low, although he is only the general manager of Phoenix Security. But if any senior executives of the group are disrespectful to him, then Lu Shaohua will definitely fire that senior executive without hesitation.

It was precisely because Chen Guobang had a very high status that every time Liu Mingzhang met Chen Guobang, he always treated Chen Guobang with respect. Although he had not yet reached the point of flattering him, he was almost there, and he always interacted with him on an equal footing.

Lu Shaohua naturally saw all of this, so he didn't say much. After all, Lu Shaohua was very happy to see that the two of them could handle their relationship, because both of them were very important to him.

Yes, Phoenix Group is what it is today thanks to Liu Mingzhang's efforts. He is now in charge of the financial sector of Phoenix Group, which can be said to be the most important part of Phoenix Group. And coincidentally, gold is in the control of Liu Mingzhang. He said that reducing the number of deliveries naturally has his own purpose.

However, Lu Shaohua could vaguely guess Liu Mingzhang's intention. It should be that the quantity of gold futures was to be controlled again to reach the price increase, so the export volume of gold was cut off, and then the futures with increased prices were purchased, waiting for the next shipping date.

"As for gold, we'll follow Mingzhang's instructions. As for other mines, it depends on the situation." Lu Shaohua said slowly, and after a moment's silence, he continued. "By the way, if necessary, let's get some more diamonds. We have already established a jewelry company, so we can process more and then open a store to run it."

Phoenix Jewelry Company and Phoenix Mineral Company were established at the same time, but Phoenix Mineral Company has been in operation for a long time, while Phoenix Jewelry Company has only entered into internal operations and has not yet opened to the outside world.

"You have to tell the people at Phoenix Jewelry about this so that I can contact the African side." Chen Guobang said with a frown.

Chen Guobang is only in charge of the warehouse at the dock. His specific work is to guard the minerals in the warehouse and place orders to Africa. The order placement is determined by Phoenix Minerals and Phoenix Jewelry. The required quantity will be transmitted to Chen Guobang, who will then be responsible for the contact.

However, this is where the problem lies. Up to now, Chen Guobang has not received any order from Phoenix Jewelry, and he cannot introduce diamond mines on his own initiative.

"I overlooked it." Lu Shaohua smiled awkwardly, then said, "How about this, you decide on the quantity, not too much, not too little, as for Phoenix Jewelry, I'll tell them."

"Okay." Chen Guobang answered straightforwardly.

……

Chen Guobang agreed, which meant that the serious business was done and the next things became much simpler. Lu Shaohua stayed in the warehouse and watched the people below constantly vacate their positions. It was not until five o'clock in the afternoon that he left with Chen Guobang.

Lu Shaohua had returned to Hong Kong without telling Qin Sichen. Now that Qin Sichen was about to get off work, she would know that Lu Shaohua was back as soon as she got home and saw the private plane parked in the yard. Lu Shaohua was thinking about going out to eat with Chen Guobang, so she called Qin Sichen to tell her that it was necessary not to go home for dinner.

Obviously, Qin Sichen was not mentally prepared for Lu Shaohua's sudden return to Hong Kong. Fortunately, it was not a big deal. Lu Shaohua gave her a surprise. As for whether he could go home for dinner or not, Qin Sichen didn't take it to heart.

Oh, no, when Qin Si Chen heard Lu Shaohua say that he was going out to the hotel to have dinner with Chen Guobang, Qin Si Chen seemed to become interested and said that he wanted to come over to eat with Lu Shaohua and the others.

His wife said she wanted to come over for dinner, and since Chen Guobang and the others were not outsiders, Lu Shaohua did not object. He agreed with a smile, told them where to eat at the hotel, and then hung up the phone.

What Lu Shaohua never expected was that after Qin Sichen hung up the phone, he made another call and told him about Lu Shaohua's return to Hong Kong and going out for dinner, and then made an appointment to come to the hotel together.

The call Qin Sichen made was not to an outsider, but to An Teng Chiyo, Lu Shaohua's friend.

Chiyo Anten has been in Hong Kong for some time, and she and Lu Shaohua have been apart for a long time. Now that Lu Shaohua is back, how can Chiyo Anten not be excited? So she came here without even thinking about it.

At the same time, Chiyoko Andeng made another phone call on her way to the hotel. It was the same call that Qin Sichen made to her. She also told her about Lu Shaohua's return to Hong Kong and dinner, and then hung up the phone in a hurry.
