Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 457: Suspension of Two Projects

The Phoenix Group was subjected to a joint inspection by three departments. The accounts were messed up, and the internal operations would definitely be hindered. Maybe it's not as simple as being hindered. Since they want to mess up the Phoenix Group, it is reasonable for them to create obstacles!

However, the facts are exactly as Lu Shaohua guessed. It is not just a simple matter of setting up obstacles. It has already seriously threatened the normal operation of Phoenix Group.

"The tax bureau is investigating our group's accounts, the customs is also checking our export documents, and has stopped our export business. As for the fire department, they are deliberately making things difficult for us, saying that many of our group's firefighting equipment is substandard and they want us to suspend operations for rectification." Chu Lei said truthfully, and added at the end. "Just now, the fire department issued an order for us to suspend operations for rectification."

The situation was more serious than Lu Shaohua had imagined. Lu Shaohua had not expected that they were so bold. They suspended the business for rectification, which was tantamount to strangling the Phoenix Group. No one could calculate how much loss the Phoenix Group would suffer if it were suspended for rectification for one day.

"Humph!" Lu Shaohua snorted coldly, and then said, "Don't worry about them. The group is operating normally. Also, if they come again tomorrow, they must not be allowed to step into the gate of Phoenix Base."

After Lu Shaohua gave the order, he turned around and said to Li Shangkui and the others, "Leave two of you behind, bring your weapons, gun licenses and officer certificates, and guard the gate tomorrow morning. If anyone dares to step in, shoot without mercy."

Lu Shaohua was really angry this time. He was bullied at his doorstep, so he decided to make a big deal out of it. He used Li Shangkui and his colleagues' identities as majors in the Central Security Bureau to prevent the three departments of Shenzhen City from entering the Phoenix Base.

"I understand." Li Shangkui nodded. He knew what Lu Shaohua wanted him to do, and he also knew how authoritative his hidden identity was. If those people didn't listen to his advice and forced their way in, he would just shoot them. Even if they killed them, no one would dare to stand up and say a word. Who gave the Central Security Bureau the power to execute first and report later?

Of course, the purpose of Lu Shaohua's arrangement was not just to prevent those people from entering for inspection, but the more important purpose was to lure out the people standing behind.

Just imagine that the joint inspection team was blocked outside by the Phoenix Group and not allowed to enter. They would definitely report to their superiors. Once they report, how could the people above not seize this opportunity to severely punish the Phoenix Group?

You should know that obstructing public duties is illegal. Since you are determined to deal with Phoenix Group, why don't you seize this opportunity to attack Phoenix Group in one fell swoop?

After instructing Li Shangkui, Lu Shaohua turned his head and looked at Chen Guobang, saying, "Brother, send someone to investigate now. The focus of the investigation is on the deputy governor of the Standing Committee. See if he has committed any illegal acts. If so, collect evidence directly. I want him to fall."

After a pause, Lu Shaohua still felt uneasy and added viciously, "If there is no illegal behavior, make one for me, and I will bring him down."

Lu Shaohua's purpose was simple, which was to bring down the deputy governor, but the sentence he added later was just in case. Based on his son's actions and behavior, Lu Shaohua believed that the deputy governor's background would not be very clean.

"Okay, I'll go now." After saying that, Chen Guobang left to investigate what Lu Shaohua had instructed him to do.

Chen Guobang's departure did not affect Lu Shaohua's continued arrangements. He glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Everything in Phoenix Group is the same as usual. Don't worry about other things. I will handle everything."

If Phoenix Group stops operating for one day, the loss to Lu Shaohua will be huge. Lu Shaohua will not let it stop operating. No matter what, it must operate normally. As for how to solve it, that is Lu Shaohua's business, and Chu Lei and others do not need to intervene.

Everyone nodded to show that they understood, and then left and returned to their posts.

However, there was one person who did not leave, that was Lu Shaohua's fourth uncle, Lu Jiahui. He did not leave, but sat inside with a worried look, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he spoke. "Xiaohua, although there are some things that the fourth uncle does not understand, our goal is to make money, there is no need to make such a big deal!"

It is said that harmony brings wealth, but it is no longer possible to do so in the current situation. They want 40% of the shares of Phoenix Group and they are determined to get it. If they are not given, they will let the government departments unite and investigate until Phoenix Group agrees.

"Fourth Uncle, you think the whole thing is too simple. If they didn't have someone above them, they wouldn't dare to mess with our Phoenix Group. Since they have someone above them, we only have two choices. One is to compromise and give them 40% of the shares for free. The other choice is to fight to the end." After saying that, Lu Shaohua paused and continued. "Fight, I choose to fight. If we want to fight, we have to make it big. If we don't make it big, we will always be the weak side."

Lu Shaohua has connections in high-level positions, and if he doesn't make a big deal out of it, he will really be in a weak position. Only by making a big deal out of it and getting the attention of the top management can Phoenix Group finally win. Besides, Lu Shaohua also wants to make an example of someone to scare the monkeys.

The Phoenix Group is a big tree that attracts the wind. In the past, it did not reveal the power behind it. People thought that the Phoenix Group did not have a strong background. If it does not reveal the power behind it, there may be more and more troubles in the future. Even cats and dogs can be bullied. Wouldn’t that be even more troublesome?

Therefore, if Lu Shaohua did not take action, it would be fine. But once he took action, he would defeat the other party to serve as a warning to others. It was also revenge, revenge for their ignorance. They dared to offend the Phoenix Group and offend him, Lu Shaohua. There was only one outcome.

After so many years of doing business, Lu Jiahui is no longer the Lu Jiahui of the past. He sees things more clearly and thinks more clearly. Lu Jiahui naturally knows what Lu Shaohua's words mean. He nodded and said, "Then you can do it. Anyway, you also have the Phoenix Group in Hong Kong. If it doesn't work out in the end, our whole family will move to Hong Kong, and they can't do anything to us."

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua laughed, a gleam in his eyes, and he had a better idea. He turned and said to Chu Lei, "Call the civil aviation base now and tell them that there is a problem with the headquarters and it has stopped operating."

After a pause, Lu Shaohua still felt that it was not enough, so he continued, "The Phoenix Communications project has also been temporarily stopped."

The two areas that need the money the most are now progressing very slowly and are just running at a normal speed. Now that this has happened, Lu Shaohua might as well stop first and take a break, and then start the project again after this period of time.

Although there will be losses in doing so, for Lu Shaohua it is only a loss of a little time.

Yes, it is just a loss of a little time, because when the project is restarted, the one in Mexico will almost be finished, and then a large amount of funds will pour in. The funds can speed up the progress of the project and completely make up for the losses during the suspension period.

What is more important is that the civil aviation aircraft base and communication projects both have state shares. Lu Shaohua is now stopping the project on the grounds that there are problems at the headquarters. The top management will definitely notice it. As long as they notice it, Lu Shaohua will achieve his goal.

Making the top management pay attention to what is happening in Shenzhen is what Lu Shaohua wants. Yes, in this way, Lu Shaohua can indirectly tell them his determination and that he will not allow himself to be bullied. At the same time, Lu Shaohua is also telling people one thing, that is: pretending not to know will not solve the problem, but will only make the problem develop to an uncontrollable level.

"Okay, I'll call and notify them right away." After saying that, Chu Lei started to make calls. He made two calls in a row. After he put down the receiver, he looked up at Lu Shaohua, nodded, and said, "It's arranged."

"Okay." Lu Shaohua nodded, and then said, "From now on, except for calls from within the group, don't answer calls from other numbers. Don't delay."

The project has been suspended and will be uploaded soon. Someone will definitely call to inquire later. Lu Shaohua asked Chu Lei not to answer the phone just to delay it. Let's talk about everything tomorrow.

After giving the order, Chu Lei didn't answer the phone. There was basically nothing else to do. Lu Shaohua said a few words to Li Shangkui and asked him to pick two people to stay. Then he left the base and returned to his villa.

After returning to his villa, Lu Shaohua immediately called Deng Lao, but before Lu Shaohua could speak, Deng Lao took the lead. "I was just looking for you, and you called me."

"Oh!" Lu Shaohua responded. How could he not know why Deng Lao wanted to see him? But even if he knew, Lu Shaohua was unwilling to say it out loud. Instead, he pretended not to know and asked, "What do you want to see me about?"

"What do you think?" Deng Lao asked back, and then added, "You don't have to pretend with me, you know why I want to talk to you."

The truth had been revealed, so there was no need for Lu Shaohua to pretend any longer. "Is it about the civil aviation aircraft base and the communications project?"

"Well, someone just called me and said that Phoenix Group has suspended two projects, saying that there is a problem at the headquarters." As he spoke, Deng Lao became more and more angry, and his voice became much louder. "What could happen to your Phoenix Group? This excuse is nonsense."

Such a big thing happened to Phoenix Group, and Lu Shaohua was even angrier than Deng Lao. However, facing Deng Lao, Lu Shaohua could not vent his anger, and could only hold it in and explain. "Phoenix Group headquarters is now facing a major inspection by three major departments. The tax department is inspecting taxes, the customs is investigating smuggling, and the fire department said there are problems with the facilities. A notice has been issued to suspend business for rectification. Do you think this is not a big deal?"

Lu Shaohua didn't dare to vent his anger at Deng Lao, but his tone was different from usual.

"Oh?" Mr. Deng on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned, and then asked. "Is this true?"

"You'll know if you check it out." Lu Shaohua said unhappily.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll call and ask."
