Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 940: Getting Started

The fact that Phoenix Group's products were being imitated was a crisis for the group, but once the truth was revealed, the crisis turned into an opportunity. Of course, this opportunity was not for Phoenix Group, but for Lu Chang.

It is conceivable what kind of situation would arise if the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee Secretary suddenly fell. As a special economic zone, as the saying goes, a family cannot be without a master for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day, the number one person in Shenzhen will naturally have to be replaced by someone.

As the second-in-command of Shenzhen City, Lu Chang might be ordered to take over as the acting secretary of the municipal party committee and quell the disturbance at this time. If he performs well during this period, and with the Zeng family's operations in Beijing, it is not impossible for Lu Chang to take the next step and become the secretary of the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee.

Secretary of the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee is a ministerial-level official and also a member of the Political Bureau. If Lu Chang can get to this point, given Lu Chang's age advantage, it is not impossible for him to become a vice-state-level official. Of course, it is possible for him to go even further.

Originally, Lu Shaohua's expectation for Lu Chang was to make him a ministerial-level official, or even the head of a province or secretary of a provincial party committee. However, judging from the current situation, it seems that Lu Chang will exceed Lu Shaohua's expectations.

Lu Shaohua is happy to see this kind of unexpected result. Lu Shaohua is also constantly striving for it and trying every means to make Lu Shaohua continue to improve. Just like this time, Lu Shaohua asked Lu Chang to make all preparations and show himself, so the chances of success will be greatly increased.

But then again, if Lu Chang fails to become the number one official in Shenzhen as he wishes, he still has a chance to go further with his outstanding performance.

Isn't this the mechanism in the country? As long as you take the acting position, if nothing unexpected happens, then further advancement is almost a sure thing. Even if you can't be promoted, transfer and promotion are common.

Lu Shaohua was striving for this. If he couldn't be promoted in the end, at least Lu Chang should be transferred out of Shenzhen City and appointed to another place, perhaps as the head of a province or something.

All this is just Lu Shaohua's idea. As to whether it will go according to Lu Shaohua's idea in the end, it depends on the senior officials of the central government. However, one thing is certain, that is, Lu Chang will definitely have an outstanding performance this time.

The reason is simple, because the director of this play is Lu Shaohua, and Lu Shaohua is Lu Chang's nephew, Lu Shaohua will naturally help Lu Chang, and with the current prior preparations, it is almost certain that the storm will be quelled in a very short time.

As long as he can perform outstandingly and use his connections, even if Lu Chang cannot be promoted this time, he will definitely be listed in the central government, which will be very helpful for his future promotion.

"Everything is ready. It all depends on God's will." Lu Shaohua muttered to himself.

……

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Lu Shaohua got up early, exercised for a while, had breakfast, and then watched TV leisurely.

Getting up, exercising, eating breakfast and watching TV, these four steps have almost become Lu Shaohua's recent habits. However, Lu Shaohua has a purpose for making such arrangements. For example, watching TV, Lu Shaohua seldom watches TV at ordinary times, but recently Lu Shaohua has been paying attention to TV programs.

If for no other reason, just to pay attention to the news about Phoenix Group, now the whole of Hong Kong is in the midst of a frenzy of anti-counterfeiting, and the mobile phone market is constantly being swept up. Any mobile phone store that is found to be selling counterfeit Phoenix mobile phones will have its phones confiscated at the very least, and the store will be closed and fined at the worst.

Hong Kong is a society ruled by law, where laws and regulations can be seen everywhere. Now the anti-counterfeiting campaign has begun. Although Hong Kong's law enforcement agencies are under pressure from the Phoenix Group, they are also under pressure from the public.

As the outside world sees, Hong Kong is a society ruled by law and a free city. If citizens are dissatisfied with the actions of government agencies, they may file complaints. Once a complaint is received, the head of that agency is finished and his political career ends there.

This also includes Hong Kong's Chief Executive, but due to too many complaints, his support rate has dropped and his position will be shaken, and the possibility of him stepping down will greatly increase.

In order to give an explanation to the public, Hong Kong's law enforcement agencies had to take action to crack down on counterfeit mobile phones, indirectly solving the trouble for Phoenix Group. Such a large-scale action will definitely be reported by the media.

It is precisely because of the media reports that Lu Shaohua pays attention to the morning news every day to see the strength of the anti-counterfeiting efforts and what results are achieved.

It is undeniable that Hong Kong's law enforcement agencies are very powerful. In just two days, they seized thousands of counterfeit mobile phones and closed dozens of mobile phone stores. The results are very good.

Lu Shaohua was very satisfied, very satisfied with Hong Kong's law enforcement agencies. Look, a slight smile appeared on Lu Shaohua's gloomy face, which showed that Lu Shaohua's mood improved after seeing the news.

However, what made Lu Shaohua feel better was the next piece of news. This news was an interview with the head of the Hong Kong Customs. The content of the news roughly said that a large number of smuggled mobile phones were seized at the customs, all of which were various models of imitation Phoenix mobile phones, and the largest mobile phone smuggling case was cracked.

"Ha ha……"

Lu Shaohua laughed and muttered to himself, "Someone is going to be distressed."

Yes, some people will feel bad. Although the counterfeit mobile phones cut corners on quality, the accessories inside still cost money. Now that they are seized by customs, those mobile phones will become dead goods. The loss will definitely be borne by the counterfeiters.

Lu Shaohua gloated over the misfortune, as if he was mocking the imitators. But the fact was also worthy of Lu Shaohua's mockery. Who made them mess with Phoenix Group when there were so many mobile phone brands that didn't copy them? More importantly, they would be even more unlucky in the future, and it was almost an unchangeable fact that they would be thrown into prison.

……

The gears of fate began to turn, and as time passed, the gears of fate had reached the end, and the fate of the ultimate boss who imitated the Phoenix mobile phone had come to an end.

The reason I say this is because Chen Guobang has almost investigated it clearly. Imitation of Phoenix mobile phones is just one of them. They also imitate other products of Phoenix Group, and the quantity is huge. If Lu Shaohua wants to sue him, then even if he lives another ten lifetimes, it will not be enough to compensate Lu Shaohua's claim.

In addition, various evidences show that this matter is related to Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee Secretary. Even if he was not involved, he is still guilty of dereliction of duty. His fate is doomed and stepping down is his only option.

Resigning is the least of his problems. If other problems are discovered, imprisonment becomes inevitable. However, so far, Chen Guobang has not found any evidence that the municipal party secretary was involved, and Lu Shaohua is helpless.

However, even so, Lu Shaohua still did not give up and asked Chen Guobang to continue the investigation, because Lu Shaohua firmly believed that it was almost impossible for the municipal party secretary to be clean with such a son.

"Now that the investigation has come to this, I think we should take action. Anyway, it won't affect our subsequent investigation. If we take action, I think it will be beneficial to our investigation. After all, he is still in his position, and we will encounter certain resistance if we want to go deeper." Chen Guobang explained the whole story with only one purpose, which was to get Lu Shaohua to give the order to act.

However, Lu Shaohua did not rush to give orders, but fell into deep thought.

What Lu Shaohua was thinking about was a senior official at the ministerial level in the Politburo. How could he not have a backer? If Lu Shaohua touched him, would his backers stand up?

Although Lu Shaohua is not afraid of anyone, it is better to investigate some things thoroughly to avoid causing trouble, which would be bad.

"Let's put it this way. It's getting late now, and we have to wait until tomorrow to take action. Well, we have one night to investigate the background of the municipal party committee secretary to avoid any future troubles." Lu Shaohua did not accept Chen Guobang's suggestion, but asked Chen Guobang to investigate first.

After a pause, Lu Shaohua continued, "Although we are not taking any action tonight, we still need to conduct necessary surveillance. I think they have already noticed it. If they are not stupid, they will probably escape."

Realizing that the situation was not good, many people escaped. Lu Shaohua had seen many precedents, so, to be on the safe side, Lu Shaohua thought it would be better to keep a close eye on them to prevent anyone from escaping and causing more trouble.

"Don't worry, I have people watching them." Chen Guobang responded, and then asked another question. "What if they try to escape? Should we take action immediately?"

"Action will definitely be taken, but it will not be us who will take action, but the official authorities. Well, I have already told my uncle about this matter, and he is also prepared. If you find any signs of them escaping, you should immediately notify our uncle and ask him to send someone to arrest them." Lu Shaohua said lightly.

"Okay, I know what to do."

"Well, and my uncle may send someone to you later. When you meet that person, you can hand over all the evidence to him. We don't have to worry about what happens afterwards." Lu Shaohua obviously wanted to hand the entire matter over to the authorities for handling.

"Yeah." Chen Guobang also realized Lu Shaohua's intention, and stopped talking about it. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, they copied our Phoenix Group's products and registered a formal company. Now that it has to be handed over to the authorities for resolution, can we use official means to treat the industries they left behind as compensation for our group?"

"You mean we sue them, go through official procedures, and then use the valuation of their property as compensation?" Lu Shaohua asked back.

"Yes, that's what I mean." Chen Guobang smiled and said, "After all, they have a lot of industries. If we can swallow them up, our strength will also increase a little."

"Ha ha……"

Lu Shaohua laughed and said, "Brother, you have become more like a businessman. Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll make the arrangements."

"Ah."
