Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 2 The Counterattack Begins ()

Lu Shaohua became a little irritated, and the reason for his irritability was the phone call from someone unknown that disturbed his peace. It is easy to imagine that a person who is resting his eyes but is disturbed halfway would be irritated, just like a person who is sleeping soundly and is suddenly woken up.

Although he was a little annoyed, Lu Shaohua still answered the phone. The reason was simple: not many people knew the phone number of his villa, so the person who could call directly must know Lu Shaohua, and only important people would call.

Although he knew it was an important person calling, Lu Shaohua did not respond in a good tone. Instead, he said in a very stiff tone, "Hello! Who is this?"

"Hello! Mr. Lu, I'm Xu Jiarui." Xu Jiarui's voice came from the receiver.

"Oh?" Lu Shaohua was a little slow to react, but after thinking about it, he immediately understood that it was probably about the car, but Lu Shaohua was not sure, so he asked. "Is it about the car?"

"Yes! They have accepted our challenge." Xu Jiarui said with some excitement.

"Well, I know about this." Lu Shaohua responded, changing the subject and said, "How about this, you talk to Manager Chen and ask him to send someone to broadcast the collision live."

"Okay, I understand. Oh, by the way, the collision is scheduled to take place at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and I have asked the people over there to invite more people to participate." Xu Jiarui finished speaking in one breath, including everything that needed to be arranged at the time.

"Not bad." Lu Shaohua used the word "not bad" to express his appreciation for Xu Jiarui, and then couldn't help but remind him again. "You must keep a close eye on this matter."

"I will." Xu Jiarui hastily assured him, and then added, "We are almost ready to enter other countries' markets. Should we start tomorrow?"

In fact, Xu Jiarui started preparing to enter the markets of other Southeast Asian countries several months ago, but he had never taken action. It was precisely because he started preparing several months ago that he was able to prepare so quickly this time.

"There's no rush. News takes time to spread." After a pause, Lu Shaohua continued. "How about this, when the time is right, I'll call you."

"Okay, I'll call Manager Chen now and ask him to arrange for someone to broadcast it live."

"Okay, then hang up." After saying that, Lu Shaohua hung up the phone without waiting for Xu Jiarui to hang up first.

……

At this point, the incident has come to an end. We just have to wait for the two cars to collide at ten o'clock tomorrow, and then we can fight back all the way, and then it will be officially over. Of course, the result is certain, that is, Lu Shaohua wins, and wins a complete victory.

Although the outcome has already been determined, Lu Shaohua still has to calculate everything carefully, because this "battle" can bring great benefits to Lu Shaohua. It is not because Lu Shaohua is not serious. After all, Lu Shaohua is a person who wants to maximize his benefits. If you want to maximize your benefits, you have to be careful in calculations.

But it doesn’t matter now. The early arrangements were to pave the way for the later stages. Now that the preparations have been completed, Lu Shaohua only has to wait to reap the fruits of victory.

……

After eating and watching TV, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Lu Xiaoxian returned home from the group. She was about to cook when she was stopped by Lu Shaohua, who asked her to change into a more formal outfit and prepare to attend the banquet at the Huo's house.

Lu Xiaoxian had no objection to her brother Lu Shaohua's arrangement. She chose to obey, gave up the idea of ​​cooking, and went back to her room to change clothes.

People say that it takes time for a woman to dress up, but Lu Xiaoxian is an exception. She doesn't dress up much. She just changes her professional attire and puts on a suit. Then she goes downstairs with a smile, as if telling Lu Shaohua that she is ready to go.

Lu Shaohua naturally had nothing to say. He was naturally happy if he could avoid waiting for half an hour or an hour. After tidying up his clothes, he waved to Li Shangkui and the others to signal them to set off.

Lu Shaohua had already informed Li Shangkui and the others that he was going to the Huo family for a banquet, so when Lu Shaohua and Lu Xiaoxian walked out of the villa, the car was already waiting outside, waiting for Lu Shaohua to get in the car before they could set off.

The car started moving. Lu Xiaoxian did not sit in her own car, but sat in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce with Lu Shaohua.

"Sister, the family that will be attending the banquet is the famous Huo family in Hong Kong." Lu Shaohua stopped talking because he suddenly felt something was wrong. The Huo family is a famous family, but Lu Xiaoxian has only been in Hong Kong for a few days, so she definitely doesn't know. "Oh, don't worry about whether he is famous or not, just behave like usual, don't be restrained."

"Okay, I understand." Lu Xiaoxian nodded in response, looking very relaxed. But in fact, she was very nervous deep down in her heart.

Lu Shaohua also felt that Lu Xiaoxian was pretending to be relaxed, but he did not expose Lu Xiaoxian. Instead, he gave her a smile and said nothing more.

The car drove very fast and arrived at the Huo family villa in a short while. Lu Shaohua got out of the car very naturally, then took Lu Xiaoxian's hand and walked into the villa.

Entering the Huo family villa, Huo Yingdong naturally disdained to say more. He sat on the sofa in the hall as usual. When he saw Lu Shaohua coming in, he smiled and asked Lu Shaohua to sit down. Then he looked at Lu Xiaoxian and asked, "You are Xiaohua's sister, right?"

Lu Xiaoxian didn't know what to say, so she smiled and nodded as a response to Ho Ying-tung's words.

"Haha!" Huo Yingdong laughed, ignoring Lu Xiaoxian's nervous expression, and continued, "Xiaohua calls me grandpa, you are her sister, just call me grandpa."

"Haha, Mr. Huo, you want to be recognized as a godparent. You have to give a red envelope if you do that!" Lu Shaohua teased.

"You little brat, hey!" said Ho Ying-tung with a smile on his face.

"Hey! You back off when it comes to red envelopes, how stingy." After saying that, Lu Shaohua turned around and introduced Lu Xiaoxian without waiting for Huo Yingdong to refute. "Sister, this is the founder of the Hong Kong Huo Yingdong Group. You will know it later."

Lu Xiaoxian also nodded, but never spoke.

Seeing this, Lu Shaohua did not say much, turned around and chatted with Huo Yingdong, and the topic of conversation naturally had to do with the car incident. Seeing that Huo Yingdong seemed to be very concerned about this matter, Lu Shaohua felt warm in his heart, and did not hide anything, and told him all his plans one by one.

In the end, Ho Ying-tung used the word "high" to comment on Lu Shaohua's plan.

"Ah!" Lu Shaohua sighed and continued, "It's not my style not to fight back when someone comes to my door."

"Well, a small Korean country dares to come and provoke us. They really don't know how to live or die." Ho Ying-tung is a typical patriot. He does not have much good feelings towards the Korean country that claims that Chinese culture belongs to their country. He said viciously.

"Haha! They will pay the price for their stupid behavior." Lu Shaohua said with a smile, but there was a knife hidden in his smile.

"Haha!" Huo Yingdong laughed. After learning about Lu Shaohua's overall plan, Huo Yingdong naturally knew what the final result would be, but he still couldn't help but worry. "You have to be careful too. If they lose to you, they probably won't just let it go."

In the business battle, Huo Yingdong was more experienced than Lu Shaohua. He lost the open battle and suffered a big loss. It is estimated that the other party will turn to attack behind the scenes. As the saying goes, even rabbits will bite when they are angry. What's more, the Koreans are not rabbits, but barking dogs. If they are pushed into a corner, the possibility of them biting back is still very high. Of course, this is Huo Yingdong's speculation based on past experience, and it is not certain.

After Huo Yingdong's reminder, Lu Shaohua showed a solemn expression, nodded heavily, and said, "I will prepare it."

"That's good." Seeing that Lu Shaohua took the matter seriously, Huo Yingdong said no more, looked at the watch in his hand, and said, "It's almost time for dinner, let's go and sit down."

Naturally, Lu Shaohua had no objection to eating. He stood up, signaled to Lu Xiaoxian, and then followed Ho Ying-tung's footsteps towards the cafeteria.

……

The simple family dinner lasted a full hour. After the meal, Lu Shaohua did not stay in the Huo family for long before leaving for his own villa.

On the way back, Lu Xiaoxian also relaxed and started chatting with Lu Shaohua.

"Xiaohua, is the family with the surname Huo called the Huo family?" Lu Xiaoxian asked.

"Well, the general name of their group is the Ho Ying-Tong Group, but the outside world calls them the Ho Group." Lu Shaohua nodded and replied.

"Oh! Is it the one that has cooperation with our group in real estate?" Lu Xiaoxian asked again.

"Yes, it's that company. They also invested in two other projects with us, such as Longteng Venture Capital, in which they hold 30% of the shares. Another project is to invest in a movie." Lu Shaohua explained carefully.

Lu Xiaoxian nodded and said, "I read some documents this afternoon about Longteng Venture Capital, and it also invested in a company called 'Cheung Kong Industries'."

"Well, Longteng Venture Capital is a joint venture of three companies. We hold 30% of the shares, and the other 40% is owned by Cheung Kong Holdings. The CEO of Cheung Kong Holdings is our fellow villager, from Chaoshan. I'll take you to meet him when I'm free some other day." Lu Shaohua said lightly.

"Okay." Lu Xiaoxian also understood the reason why her brother did this. It was undoubtedly to introduce her to more people in the business world and pave a way for her.

Seeing that Lu Xiaoxian agreed, Lu Shaohua didn't say much and turned the topic to some family matters, asking Lu Xiaoxian whether she was accustomed to working in the Phoenix Group. Naturally, Lu Xiaoxian answered truthfully about her situation in the Phoenix Group.

The result was naturally good. Just kidding, as the chairman's sister, it goes without saying how well she was treated in Phoenix Group. No one dared to treat her badly, especially Qin Sichen, who was even better to Lu Xiaoxian. He didn't have a cold face like usual, and always helped Lu Xiaoxian enthusiastically.

Lu Shaohua also heard some of Lu Xiaoxian's good and bad feelings in Phoenix Group from her words, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, was finally put at ease. It was not until he got home that Lu Shaohua stopped talking about it, went back to his room, took a shower and went to bed, waiting for dawn.
