Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 1 Live Broadcast ()

The coming of night also meant that day was not far away. Lu Shaohua had a good sleep, and when he opened his eyes, it was already the next morning. He sat up on the bed, stretched his body, and then reluctantly lifted the quilt and got dressed. After washing up, he went downstairs.

Coming to the small dining room on the first floor, Lu Shaohua looked at the two covered small plates and a note on the table and shook his head with a wry smile. He was used to it. When he got up in the morning and walked into the dining room, he would always see this familiar scene. Needless to say, the covered small plates were the breakfast made by Lu Xiaoxian, and the note was also left by Lu Xiaoxian. The content was the same every day.

"Xiaohua, I made breakfast for you, eat it while it's hot."

Yes, these few words were written on the note every day. Lu Shaohua would always open the lid after reading the note and then see the steaming breakfast.

Today was no exception. After opening the lid, Lu Shaohua picked up the steel fork that had been placed on the plate and enjoyed the breakfast that his sister had specially prepared for him.

Eating breakfast has become a habit for Lu Shaohua now. Compared with his previous life, his habit has changed completely. In his previous life, Lu Shaohua never ate breakfast. He drank a bottle of milk every morning and then started smoking. In this life, he eats breakfast every morning. Of course, he also drinks milk often, but he no longer smokes.

After breakfast, Lu Shaohua touched his bloated stomach before walking out of the hall. He glanced at the clock on the wall and found that it was already half past nine. He hurriedly turned on the TV and switched the channel to Phoenix TV. He then took out a bottle of frozen milk from the refrigerator and put it on the table, ready to drink it while watching TV.

……

There is an unwritten rule in Phoenix Group that all orders issued by Lu Shaohua are ironclad orders. As long as he issues an order, the people below will execute it according to his will, and they are very serious about it. Just like this car incident, Lu Shaohua asked Xu Jiarui and Chen Darong to cooperate. Both of them dared not be slow and carefully checked to avoid omissions.

You must know that Lu Shaohua, the authority of the Phoenix Group, is not a good person. If you fail to complete the tasks he has ordered, you will be regarded as incompetent. The lighter punishment will be demoted, and the heavier punishment will be fire.

Everyone desires to work in the good environment of Phoenix Group. No one wants to lose his job due to his momentary carelessness, because there will be no regrets if he does that.

So regarding this car incident, Chen Darong strictly followed Lu Shaohua's instructions. Lu Shaohua asked him to broadcast a live broadcast of the collision with the Korean car, so he did a live broadcast and cancelled the program originally scheduled to be broadcast at 10 o'clock in the morning, and only reported the whole process of the "car collision incident".

Lu Shaohua himself knew that Chen Darong carried out his orders meticulously, so he sat leisurely beside the TV waiting for ten o'clock, ready to be the first to watch the 'end' of this farce.

At exactly 9:55 in the morning, Lu Shaohua finally got to see the footage of the car incident as he wished. A large square paved with cement appeared on the TV. As the camera switched, a beautiful host with a melon-shaped face and long hair appeared.

The beautiful host held a microphone with the Phoenix TV logo printed on it and smiled like a professional. She said slowly, "Hello, dear audience in front of the TV! I am Wang Xiao, the host of Hong Kong Phoenix TV."

After that, the host named Wang Xiao paused for a moment and continued, "I believe everyone knows about the car incident that was a hot topic a few days ago. Of course, it is possible that some viewers do not know the origin of the whole incident. Here, I will once again introduce the whole story to everyone."

"A few days ago, Phoenix Group's Phoenix cars entered a Korean car manufacturer and accused Phoenix cars of having serious steel problems. For this reason, our station specifically followed up on this matter and interviewed the executives of the manufacturer that accused Phoenix cars. They all said that the statements they made were the result of verification." At this point, Wang Xiao paused again, as if to take a breath, and then continued. "Of course, as a coal media, our starting point is to pursue fairness, so yesterday afternoon, we specifically interviewed the executives of Phoenix Group, but the executives of Phoenix Group did not give us an accurate answer, but asked us to wait and see."

"Okay, this is the specific event. Next is my station's live broadcast, and the content of the live broadcast is the peak showdown between two automobile manufacturers. According to reliable sources, this showdown was initiated by Phoenix Automobile, and the purpose of initiating this showdown is to verify whether there is really a problem with Phoenix Automobile's steel. As for how to verify whether there is a problem with the steel, please allow me to keep it a secret for a while. Just like the top management of Phoenix Group said, let us wait and see!" Wang Xiao said with a smile.

Finally, after saying all this, Wang Xiao did not forget to follow the routine. "Let's go to a commercial. Please tune in to Phoenix TV. We will be back to broadcast the live coverage of this matchup after the commercial ends."

Almost at the moment when Wang Xiao finished speaking, the TV screen switched again and a Phoenix Auto commercial came in. It was only after the commercial that Lu Shaohua's highly concentrated mind relaxed for a while, but Lu Shaohua did not just sit there and wait for the next live broadcast, but picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number.

"Hello! Hello, I'm Chen Darong from Phoenix Entertainment." Chen Darong's steady voice came from the phone.

"It's me, Lu Shaohua!" Lu Shaohua gave his name.

"Oh! Hello, Mr. Lu, is there anything I can help you with?" Chen Darong asked.

"Well, the host named Wang Xiao is good, give him a raise and promotion." Lu Shaohua said calmly, but he did not expect that this sentence today would completely change Wang Xiao's fate.

There was no way. Lu Shaohua was very satisfied with Wang Xiao's performance. Besides, he was in a good mood today, so it was normal for him to do such a thing.

"I understand, Mr. Lu." Chen Darong responded quickly.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua said "hmm" and hung up the phone.

The receiver was hung up, and Chen Darong didn't react for a long time. He held the phone in a daze for a long time without moving. After a while, he gently put down the phone and muttered to himself, "Wang Xiao is really lucky. Even the chairman called in person."

It is indeed as Chen Darong said, Wang Xiao is lucky. But then again, if Wang Xiao's performance did not satisfy Lu Shaohua, I believe Lu Shaohua would not have made this call.

Shaking his head vigorously to stop himself from thinking too much, Chen Darong went back to his work. As for Wang Xiao's work arrangements, Chen Darong knew about it, but he would have to wait until this incident was over before saying anything about it.

Lu Shaohua, who was far away at home, naturally had no idea that his phone call had caused Chen Darong to have so many complicated expressions. After hanging up the phone, Lu Shaohua took another sip of milk, and then turned his gaze back to the TV, because just as he drank the milk and put down the cup, the TV screen returned to the live broadcast.

"Dear viewers, this is back from commercial, thank you for continuing to watch. According to the latest news our station has received, the showdown between the two companies will take place in another minute. Please follow our camera to see what the showdown between the two companies is about." Wang Xiao's figure appeared on TV again.

As soon as he finished speaking, the camera began to switch. The first scene was aimed at a Phoenix brand car. It was not known whether it was intentional or unintentional, but what Lu Shaohua saw was that the camera was deliberately aimed at the Phoenix logo on the front of the Phoenix car, and finally switched to the trunk of the car, where G-500 was clearly written.

Speaking of G-500, we have to mention the series of cars produced by Phoenix. According to Lu Shaohua's original setting, the first batch of ordinary cars produced were all classified as the G series, and 500 was a code name and also a model.

In addition to the G series, Lu Shaohua also added another series, that is the S series. The S series is a high-end sedan. It is different from the G series in terms of price, design, and accessories. Not to mention anything else, the design of the exterior alone took Lu Shaohua two full days, which is several times the time of the ordinary version!

The screen stayed on G-500 for a while before switching to another screen. Lu Shaohua couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. This move was obviously a deliberate arrangement, and the purpose was to take advantage of this opportunity to advertise.

Although he expressed his helplessness with a wry smile, Lu Shaohua did not say anything. On the contrary, he felt that it was a good idea. Publicity was everywhere and he should not let it go as long as he had the chance. Moreover, he did not know how many Hong Kong people were watching TV at that moment!

When the Phoenix G-500 car appeared on the screen, the host Wang Xiao's voice was also on the TV, introducing the configuration and advantages of the G-500. "This G-series 500 sedan is the first generation of sedans produced by the Phoenix Group. After the G series, the Phoenix Group also launched another series of high-end sedans, collectively known as the S series..."

Wang Xiao had obviously done a lot of preparation. She introduced both series of Phoenix cars, and then introduced the cars produced in South Korea. Of course, as she introduced, the camera also switched to the cars produced in South Korea.

However, the cars produced in South Korea were not as lucky as Phoenix Cars. Wang Xiao just briefly mentioned it and let it go. However, she also specifically emphasized that the car that appeared today was the latest product of South Korea's car manufacturers.

Lu Shaohua knew without any guessing that this was another masterpiece of Chen Darong. He was 100% sure that Chen Darong had signaled Wang Xiao to do this in order to pave the way for the collision. As we all know, Phoenix Automobile used the ordinary first-generation G-series sedan to collide with it, while the Korean country brought out its latest product. If the Korean country lost the collision, the result would be predictable. It would be an absolute blow to them and an opportunity to mock them.

"Okay, the time is almost up, the showdown will begin soon. Friends in front of the TV, please do not leave and concentrate on watching this historic moment." Wang Xiao's voice came again.

Hearing this, Lu Shaohua's eyes shrank, then opened wide without blinking, for fear of missing the historic moment that Wang Xiao mentioned. At the same time, Lu Shaohua was wondering in his heart what the situation would be like after the collision?
