Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 828 The Forgotten Cigarette Factory

Lu Shaohua is very particular about efficiency in his work. It is precisely because he, as a boss, is so efficient that his employees are also like him and pay attention to efficiency when doing things. So when Lu Shaohua finalized the filming of "The King of Comedy" in collaboration with Xiang Huaqiang the day before, it was officially put on the agenda the next day and they were really ready to start filming.

As a direct participant of "The King of Comedy", Chiyo Ando had a hard time. As soon as she entered the Phoenix Building, she was informed that Chen Darong was looking for her. Then she went straight to Chen Darong's office and was told to go to China Star Film Company. After that, she went to China Star Film Company, but did not stay there. She then rushed to the set.

Lu Shaohua was completely unaware of all this, because at this moment he was sitting in the office that originally belonged to Qin Sichen, with a pen in his hand and his eyes focused on the desk. If someone didn't know, they would have thought that Lu Shaohua was staring blankly at the office.

Of course, only those who don't observe carefully would think that Lu Shaohua was staring at the office. If you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that Lu Shaohua's eyes are not fixed on the desk, but on the folder on the desk.

That's right, Lu Shaohua was reviewing documents at the moment, his expression was very focused, and he was extremely serious, giving people a feeling of being completely oblivious, but would Lu Shaohua really be so oblivious? That was obviously impossible, Lu Shaohua was just too focused and ignored the surrounding environment.

This went on for the entire morning. When the bell rang for noon, Lu Shaohua came back to his senses. He rubbed his aching forehead, exhaled heavily, and glanced at the documents in the office intentionally or unintentionally, then he smiled knowingly.

It is undeniable that Lu Shaohua was proud at this moment. When he saw that the pile of documents that had been stacked high was showing a tendency to decrease, Lu Shaohua couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart. Yes, this was the result of my hard work.

In one morning, Lu Shaohua reviewed nearly forty backlog documents. This was a huge project. Lu Shaohua thought that this was his limit and the speed was acceptable. How could Lu Shaohua not feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction?

After exhaling several times and then taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Lu Shaohua stood up and stretched. He roughly tidied up the messy office before walking out of the office door and heading towards the elevator.

Lu Shaohua is also a human being, he also needs to eat. Now it is almost twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and his stomach is like a computer hardware conflict, constantly sending alarms. Lu Shaohua can't continue to work, and eating to replenish energy is necessary.

After a quick working lunch, Lu Shaohua did not stay in the Phoenix Group's cafeteria for long. Instead, he left after finishing his meal and quickly returned to his office. He asked the secretary outside to make him a cup of tea, drank a few sips of it, leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes slightly, and looked like he was enjoying it very much.

The quality of life was good, but Lu Shaohua felt a little dissatisfied. He didn't know why, but he just felt his mouth was dry and his mind was a little unclear.

This was a sign of fatigue. Lu Shaohua wanted to take a break so much, but when he saw the piles of documents on his desk, the idea of ​​taking a break was dispelled. He shook his head with a wry smile, feeling helpless.

However, when Lu Shaohua drank the concentrated tea, he felt more energetic, but his mouth still felt a little dry. Oh, no, maybe it can’t be said to be dry mouth, but a little itchy, just like Lu Shaohua’s previous life, when he was mentally tired, he would drink a cup of tea, light a cigarette, and take a deep puff, and all the fatigue would be driven away, returning to his best condition.

There was tea and the sofa was unusually soft, but Lu Shaohua always felt dry mouth, as if something was missing. After thinking about it carefully, Lu Shaohua realized that what was missing was nothing else but cigarettes that were not good for the body.

In his previous life, Lu Shaohua smoked at least a pack of cigarettes a day, and sometimes he smoked two or one and a half packs. But after his rebirth, Lu Shaohua rarely smoked anymore. If he did, it was only one or two, and that was when he was socializing. Lu Shaohua never smoked at home.

It's strange to say, Lu Shaohua never has a craving for cigarettes, but now he feels like something is missing, and his mouth is a little dry and itchy, which is obviously a craving for cigarettes. Isn't this strange? Lu Shaohua suddenly wants to smoke, and can't find the reason, which makes him extremely headache.

In the end, after thinking about it over and over again, he still couldn't find the reason. Lu Shaohua could only attribute his smoking addiction to the fact that he had been exerting too much energy these days.

It is generally acknowledged that cigarettes are not good for the body, but why do so many people still smoke something that is not good for the body? The reason is very simple. Cigarettes are sometimes very beneficial, for example, they can refresh the mind and are very therapeutic.

In addition, when you are worried or overusing your brain, cigarettes can also effectively relieve fatigue and eliminate worries.

Lu Shaohua is very, very tired now, and he is also a little worried. All these things combined together make Lu Shaohua suddenly want to smoke.

Needless to say, with Lu Shaohua's wealth, let alone smoking, even taking drugs, Lu Shaohua can afford it for the rest of his life, and he will not have any problem with money. What's more, with Lu Shaohua's status, he naturally would not smoke cheap cigarettes. If he had to smoke, he would smoke the most expensive ones, which would not cause too much harm to his body.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Lu Shaohua wanted to get rid of this thought, but when he saw the pile of documents on his desk, he felt a little depressed. Lu Shaohua knew very well that if he didn't have something to relieve his fatigue and eliminate his worries, he wouldn't have to do what he was doing next.

"Hey……"

Lu Shaohua sighed, ultimately feeling helpless, he could only ask Li Wusheng to go out and buy him a pack of cigarettes. As for what kind of cigarettes to buy, Lu Shaohua didn't specify, he just asked Li Wusheng to buy a pack of better ones.

If Lu Shaohua were in China now, perhaps he could specify a brand of cigarettes, but he was in Hong Kong now and he was not familiar with the cigarette brands here, so how could he specify one? He could only let Li Wusheng buy it later.

Li Wusheng was quite efficient and came back not long after. He bought a pack of a brand of cigarettes that Lu Shaohua was very familiar with, which made Lu Shaohua extremely depressed.

Yes, Lu Shaohua was very familiar with the cigarettes that Li Wusheng bought. They were exactly the "Greater China" cigarettes. However, this kind of "Greater China" cigarettes was not easy to buy on the market because they were in soft packs and could not be found everywhere like the hard packs of Zhonghua cigarettes.

Come to think of it, a pack of soft Zhonghua Hong Kong cigarettes sold for about 70 yuan in Lu Shaohua's previous life, and some high-quality Greater China cigarettes sold for hundreds of yuan. Just imagine how many people in this world can afford to smoke them.

Lu Shaohua knew clearly that cigarettes imported from China were made in China, and there was no other place to make them. The fact that they were sold in Hong Kong proved that they were imported from China.

However, Lu Shaohua was holding the cigarette in a daze, his eyes were a little empty, as if he remembered something.

Yes, Lu Shaohua remembered something he had forgotten for many years, and this thing was also related to cigarettes.

I still remember that when Lu Shaohua was smuggling daily necessities and cigarettes to the Soviet Union, Lu Shaohua acquired three daily necessities factories and two cigarette manufacturing factories in Guangdong Province. Later, Lu Shaohua let go of the three daily necessities factories, but the remaining two cigarette factories disappeared without a trace.

Oh, no, it wasn't silent, but Lu Shaohua didn't pay attention, didn't investigate, and didn't ask.

The reason for this situation is very simple. That is, Lu Shaohua has expanded his business too much over the years and has been unable to take care of it. It can also be said that Lu Shaohua does not attach importance to the two cigarette factories.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it still counts, not to mention that they are two cigarette factories with exports and imports. With the progress of human civilization and the improvement of living standards, the price of cigarettes is also constantly increasing. The increase in price means that the profit is constantly increasing. If the two cigarette factories can be managed well, Lu Shaohua will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Lu Shaohua looked down on small money, but at the same time, Lu Shaohua knew very well that big money was accumulated bit by bit from small money. Thinking in this way, Lu Shaohua seemed to have no reason to give up the two cigarette factories.

Since there is no reason to give up, just run it.

But don't forget that smoking cigarettes will cause addiction. Lu Shaohua bought a pack today and he might buy another pack tomorrow. In this case, why should he give his money to others to make money? By running two cigarette factories, he can not only smoke cigarettes but also make money.

So, thinking of this, Lu Shaohua decided that he could not give up the two cigarette factories. He had to run them up. Well, not only run them well, but also run them vigorously to make them strong and big.

With a plan in mind, it was time to get to work. While Lu Shaohua was still resting and had not yet started processing the documents in the group, he took a break and called Chu Lei on his cell phone to ask about the two cigarette factories.

It is true that Chu Lei is the person in charge of the Phoenix Base, but his responsibility is not limited to the Phoenix Base. There are also some factories and production bases outside that are also under the charge of Chu Lei. Coincidentally, Chu Lei is in charge of the cigarette factory, so it would be right to ask him.

This was indeed the case. When Lu Shaohua asked, Chu Lei gave him a brief account of the situation, and the result satisfied Lu Shaohua. The two factories were operating normally, mainly targeting the domestic cigarette market, with very small output.

Lu Shaohua is an ambitious man. How could he let his industries only focus on the domestic market? He not only wants to occupy the domestic market, but also wants to promote the brand overseas and let people know that none of the products under Phoenix Group are of inferior quality.

So, Lu Shaohua told Chu Lei about his plan and asked him to go to the government to handle it. In a word, he would give the cigarette factory money and people if they wanted them, and strive to make it strong and big before the end of this year.

In addition, Lu Shaohua gave Chu Lei one more instruction, asking him to order the two cigarette factories to produce some of the best of the best for him to smoke.

Although Chu Lei was surprised why Lu Shaohua suddenly started smoking, he did not ask. After all, Lu Shaohua's affairs were not something he could interfere with. He could only swallow his words and quickly assured that he would do as Lu Shaohua wished.

"Then you just hold on tight, yeah, that's it."
