Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 1067 Reconstruction

Lu Shaohua was in Sichuan, where an earthquake had just occurred. Almost all household communications were paralyzed. However, this did not affect Lu Shaohua's communications. For example, Lu Shaohua could surf the Internet freely.

As the earthquake passed, there were many things to be arranged, but Lu Shaohua did not intervene. It was not that Lu Shaohua did not want to intervene, nor that Lu Shaohua was incapable of intervening, but that Lu Shaohua really did not want to intervene, because Lu Shaohua had already made up his mind. In the evening, he would call the No. 1 leader and ask him to send someone who could take charge of the overall situation that night, and he himself would return to Hong Kong.

The earthquake was over. As for Sichuan's earthquake reconstruction, Lu Shaohua would send someone to follow up with Phoenix Group's reconstruction fund, and he didn't need to handle it personally. What's more, there was a Phoenix Group in Hong Kong, and the financial crisis was about to break out. As the boss of Phoenix Group, he was destined not to stay here.

Therefore, after the earthquake, Lu Shaohua could be said to have retired with accomplishments and had some free time. Once he had some free time, Lu Shaohua wanted to go online uncontrollably. Once he connected to the Internet, he found that the news that he had been pushed to the front by the Prime Minister had already exploded on the Internet.

The title of chairman of Phoenix Group is enough to make headlines, but now he has several more titles. If the media does not hype it up, it would be a shame for the Prime Minister's revelations.

After reading a piece of news written by a reporter from Phoenix Tencent, Lu Shaohua shook his head with a wry smile, feeling indescribable emotions in his heart.

Phoenix Tencent itself is a company wholly owned by Phoenix Group (Note: As mentioned in the previous chapter, all the shares of Phoenix Tencent belong to Lu Shaohua). As a reporter of Phoenix Tencent, of course I have to praise my boss lavishly.

It can be said that almost all the words of praise were used, which made Lu Shaohua's scalp tingle. However, Lu Shaohua could not deny it, because what was written in the news release was all true, just with some rhetoric.

Well, it is natural to praise the information website of your own company, but when Lu Shaohua opened other information websites, it was the same, all full of praises, such as philanthropist, the most successful entrepreneur, and legendary figure who made great contributions to the country.

This was not the highest praise. When Lu Shaohua went to the website of CCTV, a long article introducing Lu Shaohua's actions was the highest praise.

The title is simple, consisting of only seven words.

《The benefactor of millions of lives! 》

This is a title on the homepage of CCTV's website. When I read it, I found that the article introduced the earthquake and listed a series of data, indicating that if Lu Shaohua had not provided the information about the earthquake and promoted the migration plan, the number of people who died in the earthquake would have reached a terrifying number.

In the middle of the article, the data from the Tangshan earthquake was used as a metaphor, and then compared with the expected data, which suddenly became clear. Although it cannot be described in tens of millions, the data is definitely scary.

After reading the entire article, Lu Shaohua felt indescribable. To be honest, no matter how good others say and use all the compliments, it is not as good as the data on the CCTV website. Lu Shaohua would rather people say how many lives he has saved, rather than saying that he is a philanthropist or something like that.

Lu Shaohua felt extremely proud to let those who died in the earthquake in their previous life live again. This is also the reason why he felt most comfortable after reading the article on the CCTV website.

But no matter what, Lu Shaohua knew that he had been completely pushed out of the spotlight, so what impact would this have on him?

There are definitely impacts, both good and bad. The bad thing is that he was given the identity of a military general, which is a symbol of power, but also a tight hoop around his head!

However, after careful calculation, Lu Shaohua still felt that exposing all his identities would do more good than harm and would be beneficial to the actions he was about to launch. Yes, Lu Shaohua was sure that he was now respected by the people in the country, which also meant that he had the support of millions of people behind him, which was definitely a very strong backing.

Since the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, Lu Shaohua had nothing more to say. While waiting for the night to fall, Lu Shaohua called the No. 1 leader and prepared to resign from him and return to his identity as a businessman.

Chief No. 1 seemed to understand that Lu Shaohua had the Phoenix Group behind him, so he did not dare to force him to stay. He said that he would send someone here as soon as possible to take charge of the situation. Then, Chief No. 1 also said that he would come to the disaster area in person tomorrow and told Lu Shaohua not to leave in a hurry, as he wanted to meet with Lu Shaohua.

The earthquake had just occurred not long ago, and the No. 1 leader came in person. This seemed a little unreasonable. After all, the earthquake had just occurred, and according to past practice, there would be aftershocks. Needless to say, the No. 1 leader's identity meant that his safety was very important, and it was not justified for him to come in person at this time.

Lu Shaohua did not hide his concerns and spoke frankly, telling the No. 1 leader not to rush over as the situation here was not stable enough.

However, Chief No. 1 said that he just wanted to meet him and talk about some things.

Hearing this, Lu Shaohua already understood the intention of the No. 1 leader. It turned out that the No. 1 leader had something to talk to him about, but he couldn't say it on the phone, so he had to meet him. Lu Shaohua had just said that he would fly directly to Hong Kong tomorrow.

As the other party is the country's top leader and wants to meet him, Lu Shaohua can't let him risk the danger to meet him, so after thinking about it, Lu Shaohua decided to change the route and fly to Beijing first, and then fly back to Hong Kong from Beijing.

Since the decision has been made, there is nothing more to say. He hung up the phone in a hurry. Without even bothering to take a shower, Lu Shaohua returned to his temporary residence and fell asleep. He did not wake up until the next morning.

Long before the earthquake occurred, Lu Shaohua had planned everything. His private plane was parked at the airport closest to the command center. It only took about half an hour to drive from the command center to the airport.

Now that an earthquake has occurred and the roads are destroyed, it will probably take Lu Shaohua twice as long to get to the airport. But Lu Shaohua didn't mind at all. He washed up, got in the car and left for the airport.

At exactly nine o'clock in the morning, Lu Shaohua boarded his private plane. The iron guy flew straight to Yunxiao, disappeared in the airspace of Sichuan, and headed towards the capital.

At exactly twelve noon, Lu Shaohua and his party appeared at a military base in Beijing. When Lu Shaohua got off the plane, the No. 1 leader was already waiting there.

That’s right, the No. 1 leader came in person to pick us up at the airport.

Lu Shaohua is also worthy of the No. 1 leader coming to pick him up at the airport, both for official and private reasons.

From a public perspective, Lu Shaohua saved tens of thousands of lives for the country this time. From a private perspective, Lu Shaohua, as the boss of a business group, was conscripted by the No. 1 leader. From a personal perspective, Lu Shaohua was completely acting on behalf of the No. 1 leader, so it was only right for the No. 1 leader to personally pick him up at the airport.

However, Lu Shaohua was still surprised that the number one leader came to pick him up at the airport. After all, from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, there has never been a number one leader of the country who came to pick him up at the airport. Even if the guests were very precious, the number one leader would not come to pick him up at the airport.

At most, the vice chairman would come, which is already the highest level. Those who would be received are the presidents of powerful countries like the United States, and the number one leader is destined not to appear at the airport.

However, for Lu Shaohua's sake, the No. 1 leader came in person. How could Lu Shaohua not be surprised?

But soon, Lu Shaohua concealed his surprise, calmly shook hands with the No. 1 leader, exchanged some pleasantries, and then left the military base in the same car with the No. 1 leader.

After entering Zhongnanhai, Lu Shaohua did not hesitate to sit down on a soft sofa with a calm yet serious expression on his face.

Lu Shaohua's expression was to tell the No. 1 leader that it was time to get down to business.

To be honest, Lu Shaohua has not had enough rest these days. Now that he has left Sichuan, Lu Shaohua's first plan is to have a good rest, but unexpectedly he is taken to Zhongnanhai by the No. 1 leader.

The No. 1 leader seemed to understand what Lu Shaohua meant, and he said bluntly without being polite. "Phoenix Real Estate has developed rapidly in China, and has a large construction team. Now that Wenchuan has been confirmed, it is inevitable to tear down and rebuild. As for other construction teams, I really don't trust them."

To be honest, there are very few serious real estate companies in China. Even the semi-state-owned engineering teams often cut corners, which can be seen from the inside stories of the Bird's Nest and Lishuifang projects.

Wenchuan has already experienced the test of a disaster, and the No. 1 leader does not want any shoddy construction to happen again in a few years. If that happens, even if the No. 1 leader retires, he will be left with a bad reputation.

Well, no, not only the No. 1 leader will be cursed, I am afraid that the current core of the central government will also be cursed. Therefore, the quality of the reconstruction work in Wenchuan must be guaranteed, and it must even be completed under the condition of 10% for 1 penny.

There is no need to say much about the reputation of Phoenix Real Estate, which is well-known in the industry. In addition, Lu Shaohua has donated 200 billion US dollars this time, and there is absolutely no chance of cutting corners. Therefore, if the entire reconstruction work of Wenchuan is handed over to Phoenix Real Estate, it can definitely be completed with ten times the money.

The quality must be good, this is the decision reached unanimously by the No. 1 leader and other senior officials.

Of course, there is the factor that they do not want to leave a bad reputation, but isn't it also about ensuring the property safety of the people? That is the top priority. As one of the few core senior officials in a country, they have almost put their own reputation aside and are only considering the interests of the people and the country.

"Do you mean to let Phoenix Real Estate do this reconstruction work?" Although Lu Shaohua already understood what the No. 1 leader meant, he still couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Leader No. 1 did not hide it and nodded.

However, at this time, Lu Shaohua remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
