Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 86: Chips become gifts

Everything was arranged, but time quietly reached nine o'clock, and Lu Shaohua stood up first. "Brother, Brother Xiaofei, come with me to have breakfast, and then we can go buy a car."

The two nodded at the same time and followed Lu Shaohua. Li Xiaofei even showed off proudly to Zhang Haixin.

……

It was nine in the morning, long past breakfast time. When he walked into the restaurant, he could only hear the sound of porcelain clinking. Lu Shaohua took a quick look and saw that it was the waiters clearing away the dishes after the guests had finished their meals. "Miss! Go and ask your boss to come down and bring some breakfast up."

"I'll go get it." The waiter turned around and saw that it was Lu Shaohua, and nodded with a smile. "Please wait a moment, I'll go to the kitchen and ask the chef to make it."

……

Not long after, Weng Wende came to Lu Shaohua's table, greeted Chen Guobang and the others, and then found a chair to sit down. "Xiaohua! I helped you with that matter, the car..."

"After breakfast, let Brother Guobang go with you to buy it." Lu Shaohua rolled his eyes at him, secretly despising Weng Wende in his heart. "Is there any news from over there?"

"Not yet." Weng Wende pretended to be relieved, as if he was afraid that Lu Shaohua would break his promise. "By the way, I told you that you are going to open branches now, why don't you put a phone in each store? That will be much more convenient."

"Yeah!" Lu Shaohua nodded. "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about it."

"Hehe!" Weng Wende rubbed his head with his fingers, as if to say, "I have a smart brain."

Lu Shaohua was disdainful again and was about to say something to attack him, but before he could open his mouth, a waiter came over in a hurry. As he walked, he shouted, "Boss, there's a call for you."

"Coming." Weng Wende nodded to the waiter. "You guys chat, I'll go take a call first."

"Haha! Go ahead." Lu Shaohua smiled. "Maybe it was that girl calling."

"Get out!" Weng Wende said unhappily.

"Hahaha! You must be feeling guilty." Lu Shaohua laughed, but Weng Wende had already walked away and couldn't hear anything...

Weng Wende had just answered the phone when the waiter brought breakfast. Lu Shaohua started eating immediately. This was a different time. In his previous life, he often didn't eat breakfast, which made his stomach very bad. After his rebirth, of course he would insist on eating breakfast to avoid stomach problems.

Lu Chang, who was far away in his hometown county government, was sitting in a chair in a daze. He didn't know what had happened today. Since he came to the office to work in the morning, there was an endless stream of people coming to ask him for favors, and all of them were higher-ranking officials than him. They all had smiles on their faces, and all the words they spoke were respectful, which made him a little confused.

It was not until nine o'clock in the morning that he received a phone call. The call was from the Municipal Organization Department, and the content of the call was that he would be transferred to the Shenzhen Municipal Government to serve as the mayor's second secretary. Now he finally understood that all the people who came to him for help had received the news that he would be transferred to Shenzhen. But he was confused again. He really couldn't understand why he was suddenly transferred to Shenzhen?

Lu Chang sat in the chair and pondered for a long time. Various assumptions formed in his mind, but they were overturned in an instant. "What is going on?"

As he was thinking, suddenly, Lu Chang remembered that Lu Shaohua once told him to be prepared for the handover. It suddenly dawned on him that he believed all this was arranged by Lu Shaohua, otherwise he would not have asked him to be prepared for the handover.

Now that he understood, his first priority was of course to sort out the work at hand. Once someone came to take over, he could immediately go to Shenzhen...

"What did you say?" Lu Shaohua put down his chopsticks and looked up at Weng Wende. "Are you saying that your uncle's transfer to Shenzhen has been settled?"

"Yes!" Weng Wende nodded with a smile. "Uncle Zeng just called and said that he had called the municipal party committee in his hometown this morning."

"That's great!" Although this result was within Lu Shaohua's expectations, he couldn't help but feel a little happy. "You can pick any car within one million."

"Hahaha! That's what you said!" Weng Wende laughed. "Oh! By the way, Uncle Zeng asked you to go to the city government this afternoon to see him."

"Hmm!" Lu Shaohua was a little confused. He didn't know what Zeng Aimin was up to. He had given him the plan for Window of the World, and everything was clearly stated. Why did he still go to him? "Did he say anything?"

"No." Weng Wende rolled his eyes, as if recalling what he had just said on the phone. "Yeah! It seems to be about that piece of land. I need to discuss some details with you."

"Okay!" Lu Shaohua thought about it and felt that it would be a good idea to go. Now that Lu Chang's problem was solved, he should also implement the next plan...

Lu Shaohua had a lot of calculations in mind. If Zeng Aimin had not transferred Lu Chang to Shenzhen, Lu Shaohua would have considered whether to acquire a factory in Shenzhen.

In this era, most state-owned enterprises are losing money. If they want to reform, they will definitely offend many people. So no one will come forward. The only way to avoid seeing the loss of enterprises and not offending people is for someone to come forward to acquire them. Of course, it does not mean that if you come forward to acquire, the government will beg you to acquire it. This also needs to be decided after a meeting and discussion.

Lu Shaohua was still confident about acquiring some state-owned daily necessities factories. The reason was very simple, and that was the issue of price. He could add a few million to the original price as long as he could acquire them.

In other words, Lu Shaohua's acquisition of some factories was completely to create political achievements for the leaders. If Zeng Aimin did not agree to transfer Lu Chang, then Lu Shaohua would use this bargaining chip to exchange with him. Of course, this is the worst option, and the best option is for Weng Wende to come forward to handle this matter. Facts have proved that Weng Wende's face is still useful. So now Lu Shaohua's bargaining chip has become a "gift", and this gift is of course a political achievement.

"I'm full!" Lu Shaohua touched his bloated stomach and put a toothpick in his mouth. "You guys go buy a car, I'll ask Uncle San to go to the Telecommunications Bureau to get a phone."

"Hey!" Weng Wende waved his hands, as if to chase Lu Shaohua away. "Go quickly, go quickly."

Lu Shaohua could only shake his head to express his helplessness. That was how Weng Wende was. However, he felt quite relaxed when being with Weng Wende.

It still took several minutes to walk from the restaurant back to the fruit shop. As he walked, Lu Shaohua wondered what Zeng Aimin had asked him to discuss at the municipal government. Although he didn't know Zeng Aimin very well, Lu Shaohua knew that it was definitely not just about the land that had asked him to go to the municipal government.
