Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 372 Heading to Africa

A week is neither long nor short. Weng Wende stayed in Hong Kong for a whole week before returning to Shenzhen. In this week, four days were spent in Phoenix Building. No one knew what Weng Wende was thinking, but the first thing he did after getting up one day was to ask Lu Shaohua to accompany him to the building. When he arrived at the building, he did nothing but stay at the window of Lu Shaohua's office to look at the scenery.

Although Weng Wende's excitement was very strange, Lu Shaohua did not care. He stood aside and watched the scenery. He sat at his desk to deal with the backlog of documents and occasionally asked about the integration of the shipping company. However, nothing happened that required Lu Shaohua to have a headache.

On the contrary, there was no headache, but there was one thing that made Lu Shaohua happy. The Phoenix Base finally produced the bulletproof and explosion-proof car that Lu Shaohua wanted. On the day of completion, Chu Lei called Lu Shaohua to report. Lu Shaohua didn't even think about it and asked him to send the car to Hong Kong the next day.

Chu Lei was very capable and he really delivered a stretched luxury version and three high-end versions of the cars to Lu Shaohua the next day. Thus, Lu Shaohua realized his dream of changing cars and started to drive cars produced by his own company.

As for the original Rolls-Royce, Lu Shaohua asked Weng Wende to drive it back to Hong Kong when he returned to Shenzhen, and then asked someone to drive it back home so that his husband Lu Jiayao could enjoy the international sedan.

Time passed quickly and a day went by quickly. Early the next morning, Lu Shaohua called Chen Guobang and asked him to put down his work and rush to Hong Kong to meet him. As for what he wanted to come over for, Lu Shaohua did not say.

Chen Guobang knew Lu Shaohua's character very well. If Lu Shaohua didn't have something important to tell him, he wouldn't have let him come to Hong Kong. So without even asking what the matter was, he drove to Lu Shaohua's villa that afternoon.

The hall of the villa was quiet. Lu Shaohua and Chen Guobang were both sitting on the sofa. Neither of them spoke a word. Lu Shaohua closed his eyes and was thinking about something, while Chen Guobang was looking at Lu Shaohua with a calm face.

Lu Shaohua didn't let Chen Guobang wait for long. He thought for a while, then opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "I want to go to the base in Africa tomorrow."

"Oh!" Chen Guobang was shocked. His calm face changed. He opened his mouth wide and said in a deep voice after a long while. "It's too dangerous over there. If you have anything to do, let me go and tell you."

The Tiger Roar Mercenary Group is stationed in a small African country, which is the base camp of the mercenary group. There are dangers everywhere, so it is normal for Chen Guobang to be worried.

Lu Shaohua shook his head. How could he not know there was danger? However, some things could not be given up just because of danger. For the sake of his plan, Lu Shaohua had to choose to go. After all, many things would be difficult to understand if he didn't give detailed instructions.

"No, I have to go there in person after all." Lu Shaohua said firmly.

Chen Guobang knew that Lu Shaohua had made up his mind and could not change it, so he hesitated for a while before saying, "If you want to go, let them make arrangements first, and we will go together the day after tomorrow."

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua nodded and agreed. For his personal safety, it didn't matter if it slowed down the passage of a day.

Lu Shaohua agreed. Without saying much, Chen Guobang picked up the phone and called Li Zhijie. He told him about Lu Shaohua's visit and finally asked Li Zhijie to arrange measures to protect Lu Shaohua's personal safety before hanging up the phone.

After Chen Guobang hung up the phone, Lu Shaohua spoke again and asked, "How is the situation in the Soviet Union?"

Chen Guobang's expression darkened and he said, "The situation is not optimistic. The forces we cultivated at that time were already changing."

Lu Shaohua had expected this situation. It was normal for him to want to fly on his own after he had grown wings. A person who relied on his own financial support to build his own territory in the Soviet Union during the turbulent period proved that he was very ambitious. Since he was ambitious, it was normal for him to want to get rid of Lu Shaohua's control.

After a pause, Chen Guobang did not wait for Lu Shaohua to speak, and continued, "There have been some changes in the political arena, but it will take more than one or two days to get rid of our control. As for the military, they have not made any moves so far, so they are still loyal."

When supporting that person, Lu Shaohua had reminded Chen Guobang, and Chen Guobang had also made preparations, so it was really impossible to get rid of control in a short period of time.

"Based on his development, if we don't do anything about him, how long will it take him to break free from our control?" Lu Shaohua asked.

Chen Guobang did not answer Lu Shaohua immediately, but thought for a while before saying, "The fastest speed is two years. If we set up some obstacles in the middle, it will probably take three years."

"Three years?" Lu Shaohua frowned, then said, "Three years is enough, just ignore him."

Yes, three years is enough for Lu Shaohua. Before getting rid of Lu Shaohua's control, I dare not act rashly. Everything must be carried out according to the orders given by Lu Shaohua.

Hearing this, Chen Guobang just nodded and didn't say anything, because he knew that Lu Shaohua's "don't care about him" was only temporary. When one day Lu Shaohua didn't need him anymore, he might order that person to be killed.

Lu Shaohua is not a good person. Although he has never killed anyone, those who dare to challenge his authority generally do not get any benefits. In order to cultivate political power, Lu Shaohua invested tens of billions of dollars. Although the benefits he gained over the years have been compensated, Lu Shaohua will not let it go.

Maybe if that person had stood on the stage honestly and not done any tricks, Lu Shaohua would have let him go for the benefits he had gained over the years. But Lu Shaohua did not want to see betrayal, so that person was doomed to end up destroying himself and paying the price of his stupidity with his life.

Putting the Soviet matter aside, Lu Shaohua did not mention it again. He asked Chen Guobang to go upstairs to rest first, and he stayed in the hall alone, in a daze, thinking about some things.

Two days passed quickly. Chen Guobang came to Hong Kong to rest for an afternoon. The next morning, he brought Li Shangkui and the others together, except He Qiang. Because He Qiang belonged to the National Security Bureau, Lu Shaohua would not take him to Africa, and at the same time, he would not tell him any news.

The purpose of calling Li Shangkui and others together was nothing more than to arrange the personal safety of Lu Shaohua. Chen Guobang is not Lu Shaohua's bodyguard now. Although he will also protect Lu Shaohua, the situation is different after all. Some things still need to be done by Li Shangkui and others.

Lu Shaohua did not listen to what Chen Guobang was arranging. He stayed alone in the study, took out the book "Petroleum Plan" from the safe, equipped it with a password lock that had been prepared long ago, then opened the safe and took it out again when he was about to set off.

That night, the lights in Lu Shaohua's villa were bright and the hall was bustling. Liu Mingzhang, Li Yunqing and Li Zongen, three financial generals of the Phoenix Group, gathered here. Liu Mingzhang and Li Yunqing even brought their wives, and Li Yunqing's son also came.

Looking at Li Feng who called him "Uncle", Lu Shaohua showed a friendly smile and gave a big red envelope as a gift to Li Yunqing's son, which was considered to be worthy of Li Feng calling him uncle.

"Okay, I called you here today for two reasons." After a pause, Lu Shaohua continued, "The first is to get together, and the second is that I will be away from Hong Kong for a while. Company matters will remain the same. If you have any questions, you can call me."

Lu Shaohua's trip to Africa will not be too short. With Qin Sichen, a gifted girl from heaven, in several subsidiaries of Phoenix Group, Lu Shaohua does not have to worry about anything. Only Phoenix Finance needs stability, so Lu Shaohua had to call the three of them to give them some instructions.

After these words were spoken, both Liu Mingzhang and Li Yunqing remained silent, as they knew that Lu Shaohua had not finished speaking.

Sure enough, Lu Shaohua didn't finish his words. He swept his eyes across the faces of the three people and continued, "The Hong Kong stock market is still relatively stable. Yunqing, you can increase your investment a little, but not too much. As for Mingzhang, your task is the same as before, follow Soros. Zong En's situation is a little more complicated. Well, how about this, transfer an extra 10 billion US dollars over, and you can follow the original route."

Although Lu Shaohua said that everything remained the same except for the route, he still had to increase investment. For people like Li Zongen, Lu Shaohua planned to give him a heavy burden and added $10 billion.

The three of them nodded at the same time to show that they understood, but still didn't say anything.

Lu Shaohua smiled, clapped his hands, and said, "Okay, there's nothing else to do. I'm leaving tomorrow. I'll leave the company's affairs to you."

"Don't worry!" Liu Mingzhang is the first executive president of Phoenix Group. Although he is only in charge of finance, he still has the power to inquire about other matters.

Lu Shaohua glanced at Liu Mingzhang, nodded, and said nothing more, and started chatting about some casual topics.

The next day, it started to drizzle, but this did not stop Lu Shaohua from going to Africa. When it was nine o'clock in the morning, Lu Shaohua and his party set off. Chen Guobang replaced He Qiang and became Lu Shaohua's temporary driver, and the party packed up and headed to the airport.

At 10 am, a passenger plane took off from Hong Kong International Airport, and Lu Shaohua and his group were going to board this plane. There was no other way, because the place where the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group was stationed was too remote, Lu Shaohua could only take a plane to a small country nearby, and then transfer to the base by a helicopter sent by Li Zhijie.

Lu Shaohua spent more than ten hours on the plane, and the plane didn't land at an airport until 11 o'clock in the evening. Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Shaohua could only find a hotel near the airport to stay.

Looking at the environment of the hotel room, Lu Shaohua shook his head helplessly, thinking that this is not a hotel at all, it may not even compare to some high-end hotels in Hong Kong. But there is no way, this so-called "hotel" is already the best one.

"Oh! Just make do for one night." Lu Shaohua sighed, took a shower, and then lay on the bed staring at the ceiling, his mind full of thoughts. He knew that when he set foot on the land of Africa, his plan would start to work.
