Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 365: Talking with Huo Chang

After walking two steps, Mr. Deng stopped and called Lu Shaohua. Naturally, Lu Shaohua stopped walking and asked something. The expression on his face was also very cooperative, with a questioning look and a bit of expectation.

"It's nothing big. Ho Ying-tung and I are old acquaintances. When you see him later, please give him my regards. If possible, ask him to come back with you. I haven't seen him for a long time." said Mr. Deng.

"Yes!" Lu Shaohua nodded and said, "I will pass on your words to you, old man."

Although Lu Shaohua knew that Deng had received Ho Ying-tung during his tenure, he did not expect that Ho Ying-tung and Deng were old acquaintances. However, when he thought about the fact that Ho Ying-tung had funded the army during the Anti-Japanese War, Lu Shaohua felt relieved.

"Well, go ahead." Old Deng waved his hand and turned to walk towards the room.

Xiao Li was Deng Lao's personal guard, so it was easy for him to leave the residential area, but he still had to check his ID before he could leave. As for Lu Shaohua, this time there was no Deng Lao to greet him, and although he was with Xiao Li, he still had to be checked. Fortunately, Lu Shaohua had the ID that proved he was a colonel with him, so he took it out and had it checked by the guards, and then he was able to leave the residence smoothly.

Lu Shaohua didn't know where Ho Ying-tung and other members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce were, but his not knowing didn't mean that Xiao Li didn't know, so Lu Shaohua didn't even need to say anything. Xiao Li took Lu Shaohua to a hotel. Xiao Li went to the front desk to ask again and then took Lu Shaohua to the seventh floor of the hotel.

Hong Kong has not yet returned to the motherland. Although Ho Ying-tung and his entourage are Chinese, they hold Hong Kong passports and are considered foreign guests. In addition, they were invited to Beijing by the country's major leaders, so security is extremely strict. Naturally, Lu Shaohua had to pass identity verification if he wanted to see Ho Ying-tung.

However, when Xiao Li took out his identity card as a central guard, the guards in charge of the guard welcomed Lu Shaohua and Xiao Li in without thinking.

When they entered the room where Huo Yingdong lived, there was no one inside. Only Huo Yingdong was sitting on the sofa. When he saw that the person was Lu Shaohua, Huo Yingdong smiled and complained, "You are one of the directors of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, but you disappeared as soon as you got off the plane. It's us old bones who have to bear the brunt of it."

Lu Shaohua smiled, and without hesitation, he found a seat and sat down, saying, "I am not going to show up in public even if I go to Beijing with you. After all, my age is a big problem."

After saying that, without waiting for Huo Yingdong to speak, he continued, "Today I came here mainly to say hello to you on behalf of my godfather."

"Oh? Your uncle." Ho Ying-tung asked with a frown.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua nodded and added casually, "My grandfather's surname is Deng, so you and I should be old acquaintances."

Lu Shaohua's tone was plain and ordinary, but it was like a sea of ​​​​water and earth-shattering to Huo Yingdong. There may be many people with the surname Deng in Beijing, but Huo Yingdong's old acquaintances with the surname Deng are few, except for Mr. Deng.

"Haha!" Huo Yingdong laughed bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that you are actually the grandson of Brother Deng."

After sighing, Huo Yingdong seemed to suddenly wake up and asked, "How is Brother Deng now?"

"Yeah, he's fine." Lu Shaohua said, and added, "His family had two big bowls of rice at noon."

"That's good, that's good." Ho Ying-tung looked excited.

Lu Shaohua observed the changes in Huo Yingdong's expression and saw that he was genuinely excited without any false feelings. He nodded secretly in his heart and then changed the subject, saying, "Grandpa also told me to take you back later!"

"Okay!" After saying that, Huo Yingdong glanced at Lu Shaohua and asked again, "Should we go over now?"

"Let's wait a while. When I went out, he had just gone for a nap." Lu Shaohua shook his head and said.

Huo Yingdong did not object, but nodded, his expression also relaxed a lot, and then said, "Yesterday our Chinese Chamber of Commerce was received by the main leaders and held a symposium. The country expressed its welcome for us to return to invest in the country."

Ho Ying-tung was not an impulsive person. There were certain rules for discussing things. He would always start with small things.

Lu Shaohua nodded. This was within his expectations. He casually agreed with a few words and went straight to the point. "I got news from my grandfather that the country intends for our chamber of commerce to use its influence to stabilize the situation in Hong Kong?"

Lu Shaohua is not like Ho Ying-tung, who goes straight to the point as soon as he opens his mouth. Of course, this is also the main purpose of Lu Shaohua's visit to Ho Ying-tung. He wants to test the other side's opinion.

Hearing this, Huo Yingdong's face became more serious, and he said after a moment of silence, "The leader does have this intention, but I'm afraid that the influence of our Chinese Chamber of Commerce will not have any effect!"

As the chairman of the Hong Kong Ho Ying-Tong Group, Ho Ying-Tong has great influence in Hong Kong and Asia. In addition, the reputation of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong is also growing. In theory, this should have a certain effect. However, Ho Ying-Tong did not feel confident about this. On the contrary, he looked worried.

All of this is caused by the current situation in Hong Kong. On the surface, Hong Kong seems very calm, but with Ho Ying-tung's identity, he still knows a lot of inside information. He knows that this is the prelude to the coming storm. Otherwise, Hong Kong is already undercurrent.

Lu Shaohua has been in Hong Kong for many years. He seems to have never left the house and does not understand the situation in Hong Kong. But is this true? No! Lu Shaohua knows the current situation in Hong Kong better than anyone else. It’s just that he didn’t know much about it before. Now that he came to Beijing and met Zeng Jianguo and others, he found this opportunity to speak out.

After taking a deep breath, Lu Shaohua asked Huo Yingdong, "What do other people say about this matter?"

The other people Lu Shaohua mentioned of course refer to the other directors of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

"They all said they would do their best," Ho Ying-tung responded, and then expressed his concerns. "Our Chinese Chamber of Commerce has a certain influence in Hong Kong, but the influence is limited to this chamber of commerce. As for those who have not joined the chamber of commerce, I don't think it will have any effect!"

"Well, let's stabilize the situation within the Chamber of Commerce first. As for those who have not joined the Chamber of Commerce, we will influence them to the extent we can. We can't force them." Lu Shaohua said lightly.

What Lu Shaohua wanted to express was very clear. You have to try your best, but you have to do it within your ability. If you go beyond that, you can only leave it to fate. This is also the result that Lu Shaohua came to after thinking for a long time. He wants to help the country, but these things are not something he can decide alone. What matters is what those people think.

"This is the only way for now. Let's try our best." After saying that, Huo Yingdong waved his hand, as if he didn't want to talk about this issue anymore, and said, "I discussed with others last night that after finishing things in Beijing, we will return to Shenzhen to investigate the investment environment. If everything goes well, we plan to put all our projects in Shenzhen."

Lu Shaohua nodded, analyzed the situation for Huo Yingdong, and said, "Shenzhen is indeed a good city. It is close to Hong Kong, is a special economic zone, and has a port. It is indeed the best choice."

It is undeniable that Huo Yingdong and his team also know these advantages of Shenzhen. "We are also interested in these. There is another more important factor, that is, you have built such a large base in Shenzhen, and we are also following your trend!"

Lu Shaohua smiled and said nothing. He wished that Ho Ying-tung and his people could invest in Shenzhen. This would make the city much more lively and would also boost many industries. Of course, this also had a prerequisite, which was that Ho Ying-tung and his people could not compete with him.

"What area do you plan to invest in?" Lu Shaohua asked seriously.

Huo Yingdong looked at Lu Shaohua meaningfully, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't compete with you. After all, we are all family members, and we should be involved in all walks of life so that we can help each other in the future!"

Huo Yingdong had already made his point clear, so Lu Shaohua no longer had any concerns and said, "Then let's do a thorough investigation after we go back."

In fact, Lu Shaohua was worrying too much. Ho Ying-tung and his friends had gone through many hurdles in the business world and knew what they could and could not do. They would need Lu Shaohua's help when they returned to China to develop. How could they compete with Lu Shaohua? Moreover, there would be no benefit in competing with Lu Shaohua because the fields involved in Lu Shaohua were too powerful. If they wanted to compete with him, the final result would be failure.

"Oh, by the way, you have a real estate company in Shenzhen, right?" Ho Ying-tung suddenly asked.

Lu Shaohua nodded. Shenzhen Phoenix Real Estate had been established several years ago. Now Lin Qiquan was following Lu Jiacheng to conquer the world and seize market share.

"Are you always planning to invest in real estate in Shenzhen?" Lu Shaohua did not answer but asked back.

"Yes, my company in Hong Kong is mainly engaged in real estate. I am also planning to invest in real estate when I come to Shenzhen." Ho Ying-tung expressed his thoughts.

"China is so big, I can't finish it all by myself." Lu Shaohua said without thinking.

Although it seemed like an unintentional statement, Ho Ying-tung got the answer he wanted from Lu Shaohua's words, that is, Lu Shaohua had established a real estate company. At the same time, Lu Shaohua also told him that he agreed to let him get involved in the real estate industry.

Although Lu Shaohua doesn't like others to compete with him, there are exceptions to everything, and the real estate industry is an exception. As Lu Shaohua said, China is so big that he can't do it all by himself. Besides, Lu Shaohua's eyes are not on Shenzhen, but on other cities.

After getting the answer he wanted, Huo Yingdong was naturally satisfied and had a clear idea of ​​the project he was going to invest in. "I won't say more. We are all family members. There won't be situations that we don't want to see."

Lu Shaohua knew that this was Huo Yingdong's promise, so he just nodded and changed the subject to some irrelevant topics.
