Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 997: Undertaking Satellite Technology

In his previous life, Lu Shaohua had seen the appearance of the Bird's Nest in pictures more than once and was very familiar with it. Even though it has not been built yet, a rough outline is already there. So, Lu Shaohua just glanced at the exterior and then stepped into the Bird's Nest.

After walking around the Bird's Nest, Lu Shaohua finally took a careful look. Seeing that it was getting late and he had another stop to make, he did not stay for long and led the way to the Water Cube.

In the meantime, Lu Shaohua called Lin Qiquan into the car and sat in the same car with him. As for the purpose? It couldn't be simpler. Lu Shaohua was going to listen to Lin Qiquan's report in the car and also to hear Lin Qiquan give him an answer.

Lin Qiquan seemed to understand what Lu Shaohua meant, and he spoke after getting in the car. "The State Sports General Administration has given us less than a year to complete the project by July 2008. Judging from the current status of the project, we will have no problem completing it in the coming time. However, if we take on the project, I'm afraid we will have to go all out, and we may even have to go to Hong Kong to retrain the construction team."

This was the answer given by Lin Qiquan. The answer was a bit ambiguous, but Lu Shaohua still understood it. That is, the project can be taken, but we must go all out and mobilize a construction team from Hong Kong to help.

Hearing this, Lu Shaohua nodded, but did not speak in a hurry. Instead, he thought for a while before saying, "If we gather all the construction teams in China together and stop some unimportant projects, can we complete it?"

It is a very troublesome thing to mobilize a construction team from Hong Kong. After all, although Hong Kong has returned to China, crossing the border is still a hassle. What is more important is the language problem of Hong Kong people. When the construction team comes to Beijing, language becomes an obstacle.

Also, the financial storm is about to begin, and the country will be swept up in it. The country will be affected, and the economy will inevitably be affected. By that time, I'm afraid that the projects we have undertaken will not exist. There will be absolutely no problem in transferring most of the construction teams here at this time.

Not only will there be no problem, it will also ease the layoffs at Phoenix Real Estate. Yes, the financial crisis has come, and Phoenix Real Estate, such a large engineering team, has no projects to do, so layoffs have become a necessary part. Now, if Phoenix Real Estate can undertake the two major projects of the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, there will be no layoffs. Even if there are layoffs, they will be after the projects are completed.

After the completion of the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, will Lu Shaohua lay off employees? The answer is obvious. By that time, Phoenix Group will have survived, and Lu Shaohua himself can provide a sum of money to Phoenix Real Estate, so there is no possibility of layoffs.

Although Lin Qiquan knew that Phoenix Group had made a big move recently, he did not know that Phoenix Group's big move was to continuously shrink its defenses to cope with the coming financial crisis. Therefore, he did not know the deep meaning of Lu Shaohua's arrangement.

"If most of the domestic construction teams are transferred here, it will be enough to handle the two major projects, and there is no need to transfer construction teams from Hong Kong." After thinking for a while, Lin Qiquan finally came up with an answer. However, there is no need to mobilize the construction teams, but the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube are iconic buildings after all, and there are more construction talents in Hong Kong, so Lin Qiquan soon made a request. "There is no need to mobilize the construction teams, but it is still necessary to mobilize some professional talents. After all, there are not many professional talents here."

"There is no problem with this. Just go to Hong Kong and pick the talent you need. You can transfer whoever you like." Lu Shaohua waved his hand and agreed without even thinking about it.

It's no wonder that Lu Shaohua agreed so quickly. The reason is that Hong Kong Phoenix Real Estate gradually faded out of the real estate industry a few years ago. The talents there are very idle every day. In addition, the coming financial crisis has had a greater impact on Hong Kong, and there may be more idle personnel. Finding something for them to do seems to be in line with strategic significance.

"If that's the case, there won't be any problem." Lin Qiquan seemed somewhat happy, smiled and responded.

"That's fine. You can start negotiating the contract with the people from the General Administration of Sport of China tomorrow. Well, I won't show up. You can take charge of everything." Lu Shaohua finally set the tone and made the final decision to take over the two remaining projects of the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube.

"it is good."

......

The car was driving very fast and arrived at the Water Cube in no time. Led by people from the General Administration of Sport of China, Lu Shaohua and his party entered the Water Cube without any resistance. They saw that the interior of the Water Cube was the same blue as the exterior, a living ocean.

The Water Cube covers an area of ​​79532 square meters and can host swimming and diving events mainly. Its construction cost is as high as 10.2 billion yuan, which is definitely one of the super buildings. Of course, the Water Cube cannot be compared with the Bird's Nest. The construction cost alone is incomparable, as it is only one-third of the Bird's Nest.

The construction cost is 34 billion RMB, which is definitely three times the cost of the Water Cube.

But those were not what Lu Shaohua wanted to care about. Lu Shaohua was now free of distractions, constantly observing the internal construction of the Water Cube. His mind was wild, which brought a great shock to Lu Shaohua.

After a round, Lu Shaohua took in the internal structure of the Water Cube one by one. Seeing that it was almost evening, Lu Shaohua turned around and left. However, before leaving, Lu Shaohua still specifically instructed Lin Qiquan to ensure the safety of the construction workers after taking over the project.

Lu Shaohua still remembers that there were accidents during the construction of the Water Cube and the Bird's Nest, in 2006 and 2007 respectively. Well, so far, they have passed, but Lu Shaohua is not sure whether similar accidents will happen again after Phoenix Real Estate takes over.

Safety is above all else. This is the order Lu Shaohua gave to Lin Qiquan.

......

After returning to Zeng Jianguo's residence, Lu Shaohua met his father-in-law Zeng Aimin. Naturally, they had some small talk when they met. However, Zeng Aimin came to see Lu Shaohua specifically, so naturally they had to talk about business.

"How is the evaluation of the two major projects, the Water Tower and the Bird's Nest, going? Can we take them over?" This was the first question Zeng Aimin asked when he talked about business.

Zeng Aimin knew that the appraisers from Phoenix Real Estate had come to Beijing, and he also knew that Lu Shaohua went out to visit the construction sites of two projects. Now that Lu Shaohua is back, Zeng Aimin thought that the results should be out.

Lu Shaohua did not hide it, nodded and said, "You can take it, Phoenix Real Estate is also capable of completing it, but we still need to smooth things over in other areas."

Lu Shaohua did not make his words so clear, but Lu Shaohua knew that his father-in-law was not a simple person and should be able to hear the deeper meaning in his words. Sure enough, Zeng Aimin heard it.

"I have already reported this matter to the No. 1 leader, and the No. 1 leader has also spoken. There should be no problem." Zeng Aimin said seriously.

This matter concerns the Phoenix Group and Lu Shaohua. The No. 1 leader dare not be negligent. If he accidentally angers Lu Shaohua, the result can be imagined. A storm is bound to blow in Beijing.

The world situation is chaotic now. There are already signs of the coming financial storm. If Lu Shaohua makes a fuss again, the two major storms will erupt at the same time, which will definitely affect the domestic situation.

A few years ago, Lu Shaohua retaliated against a serving Vice Premier of the State Council, but he used the power of the media. At that time, the Internet was not very developed and its influence was limited, so in the end the matter did not become too big a deal.

But now it’s different. As time goes by, the Internet is developing faster and faster. If Lu Shaohua uses the power of the media and the Internet, things will definitely be bigger than what happened in previous years.

If the impact exceeds a certain limit, it can be called a storm.

But then again, if it wasn't necessary, Lu Shaohua wouldn't have done so many things for no reason. He still hoped that nothing unexpected would happen. Now that the No. 1 leader had spoken, Lu Shaohua could rest assured. He nodded and said, "If that's the case, there will be no problem."

Yes, there is no problem. Originally, Lu Shaohua was thinking of taking some time to meet with the No. 1 leader and have a good talk with him face to face. But now, Zeng Aimin has already done the job, so there is no need for Lu Shaohua to meet with the No. 1 leader.

But soon, Lu Shaohua found that some things deviated from his imagination, because Zeng Aimin then conveyed the words of the No. 1 leader to Lu Shaohua. "Now the country's military technology is constantly developing, but it still cannot catch up with other countries, such as satellites. I heard that the United States is already developing spy satellites that can allow satellites to take images of the earth below. Well, the No. 1 leader wants me to ask you, do you have this technology?"

Spy satellites, Lu Shaohua does have this technology, but it is still under research. Of course, the research progress is nearing completion and it will be completed soon. In this way, Lu Shaohua can be said to have this technology.

"This technology does exist, but it is not yet mature. We will have to wait for some time before it matures." Lu Shaohua said lightly.

"Oh!" Zeng Aimin was obviously delighted to hear Lu Shaohua's answer. After a pause, Zeng Aimin asked, "Can we sell this technology to the country?"

Buy technology. That’s right. Zeng Aimin came here with the mission of buying technology. As for who gave this task, it’s easy to guess. Of course, it was the No. 1 leader.

Lu Shaohua smiled slightly, a little strangely, then shook his head, refusing to sell the technology. But after a while, he said, "It's impossible to sell the technology, but I do have a way to let the country have spy satellites?"

"What method?" Zeng Aimin asked, obviously a little nervous.
