Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 95 Budget Report

Chapter 95 Budget Report

Arriving at Weng Wende's restaurant, Lu Shaohua pulled Zeng Yuling straight to the office. His main purpose of coming here today was not to have breakfast, but because he had something important to say to Weng Wende. Of course, enjoying his BMW was also one of his purposes. Since no one was free in the store now, he could only come to find Weng Wende, the idle guy.

"Hey! Who did I think it was? It's you." After opening the door, Weng Wende saw Lu Shaohua and Zeng Yuling, and smiled. He stepped aside and said, "Come in."

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua laughed. "I thought you were going to let us in."

Weng Wende rolled his eyes and scolded with a smile: "You kid, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"

"Tsk!" Lu Shaohua curled his lips and smiled, then went straight into the office and sat down on the sofa. With a serious expression, he asked, "How is your money prepared?"

Weng Wende did not answer. He ran to pour two glasses of water, one for Lu Shaohua and one for Zeng Yuling. He sat down next to Lu Shaohua, pondered for a moment, and said with some frustration: "We have collected a little, only a few hundred thousand, which is already the limit."

Lu Shaohua nodded but didn't say anything. He knew that a few hundred thousand was indeed the limit for Weng Wende. He probably couldn't come up with more, but a few hundred thousand could expand slowly like a snowball.

"A few hundred thousand is fine." Lu Shaohua paused for a moment before continuing, "Use all your funds to buy cigarettes and bars."

"Cigarettes and alcohol." Weng Wende frowned. He didn't quite understand what Lu Shaohua meant. Although Lu Shaohua had smuggled with him, he didn't expect that the smuggled goods were cigarettes and alcohol. Cigarettes and alcohol were both relatively expensive items, and with only a few hundred thousand in capital, he couldn't import much. "A few hundred thousand seems a little too little!"

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua smiled. He could guess what Weng Wende was thinking. When it came to smuggling, how could he not go big? As the saying goes, greed is the key to success. "Take your time. It's not just one time."

"I understand." After Lu Shaohua said this, Weng Wende was relieved and his expression relaxed, but he still seemed to have some doubts. "You tell me! Do you want me to go there in person when the time comes?"

"Oh!" Lu Shaohua responded naturally and fell into deep thought. He had not thought about whether Weng Wende should go to the scene in person. "Do you think you should go in person or send a trusted person?"

"I'll listen to you." Weng Wende himself couldn't make up his mind. "If it's necessary to go in person, I'll go in person. If it's not necessary, I'll let a trusted person take care of it."

"You should send a trusted person." Lu Shaohua thought carefully. "After all, you still have such a big restaurant to manage."

"Okay! Let's send a trusted person." Weng Wende felt that what Lu Shaohua said made sense. Although Lu Shaohua said that he could make money, Weng Wende chose to be cautious about things that he couldn't see. Since he had decided to send a trusted person, the business was done. But he didn't believe that Lu Shaohua came here today just to talk about this. "Tell me, what else is there."

"Hey! When did you become so smart?" Lu Shaohua was so depressed. It turned out that in Weng Wende's mind, he was the kind of person who would not come to him unless there was something important. However, although he was depressed, he did not take it to heart. He said cheerfully: "Use your BMW to take us to the city government. I have something to do."

"Humph!" Weng Wende snorted and muttered unhappily, "I knew it was no good."

……

Sitting in the BMW on the way to the city government, Lu Shaohua suddenly remembered an important thing. That's right, he forgot to ask Weng Wende how he planned to solve the problem of cigarettes and alcohol, so he couldn't help but ask, "Where do you plan to get cigarettes and alcohol from?"

Weng Wende rolled his eyes at the rearview mirror, then turned his gaze forward with a smile on his face. "I have my own ways, you don't have to worry about this."

"Tsk, you're still being mysterious." Lu Shaohua looked at him with disdain. "You don't have money, but I do. Can you help me get some goods? The market is so big, what's lacking is goods."

Weng Wende let go of one hand and made an OK gesture, indicating that there was no problem.

......

Since Weng Wende said it was okay, Lu Shaohua didn't say much and turned around to chat with Zeng Yuling...

The car drove slowly on Shennan Avenue, and the scenery on both sides of the road kept receding. Lu Shaohua, who was chatting with Zeng Yuling in the car, didn't notice it at all until Weng Wende stopped the car and realized that they had arrived at the city government. "Are we there?"

"What do you think?" Weng Wende replied unhappily as he turned off the engine. "Get out of the car quickly, do your business and then go back."

Lu Shaohua shook his head and did not answer. How could he not guess what Weng Wende was thinking? He was just afraid that he would drag them into playing again and make him bleed again.

He arrived at Secretary Xu's office with familiarity, ready to report before going in. However, Lu Shaohua did not expect that when Secretary Xu saw Zeng Yuling behind him, he actually asked Lu Shaohua and the others to follow him directly to Zeng Aimin's office without reporting.

But if you think about it, you will understand. Zeng Yuling is Zeng Aimin's daughter. Secretary Xu, as the mayor's secretary, cannot be unaware of this. There is no need to inform that Zeng Aimin is not meeting other guests at the moment, so they can go in directly.

"Uncle!" As soon as he entered the door, Weng Wende was the first to call out.

Zeng Aimin looked up and saw that the people who came were Lu Shaohua, Weng Wende and his beloved daughter. "Wende is here too, please sit down." After saying that, he said to Secretary Xu, "Go make some tea and come over."

"Yes! I'll go right away." Secretary Xu responded and went to make tea.

"Xiaohua. You don't mind me calling you that, do you?" After everyone sat down, Zeng Aimin looked at Lu Shaohua and said.

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua smiled and nodded, indicating that he didn't mind. "I came here today to ask Mayor Zeng for help with something."

"Hey! You should call me uncle. Calling me mayor doesn't sound right." Zeng Aimin seemed a little disgusted by Lu Shaohua's address. He waved his hand and continued. "Just tell me what you want to say, as long as it's not against the law."

"Uncle Zeng, I won't be polite." Lu Shaohua certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity to get closer to Zeng Aimin. "It's like this, I'm going to send people to foreign countries to open up the daily necessities market, but a few people don't have visas, so they're bothering me."

Zeng Aimin thought for a while and decided that getting a few visas was not a big deal. He could get it done with just one phone call. However, he didn't know who the visas were for. It would be bad if they were some random people.

Lu Shaohua was so smart that when he saw Zeng Aimin didn't speak for a long time, he knew what he was hesitating about. Before Zeng Aimin asked, he spoke first. "Don't worry, Uncle Zeng, those people are all veterans."

"Well, that's good." Zeng Aimin was finally relieved. "Write down their names, I'll let them know and ask them to do it as soon as possible."

Lu Shaohua nodded, took a piece of paper from the desk, and wrote down the names of the ten new special forces soldiers and Zhang Qingyun. As for their names, Lu Shaohua remembered them deeply because he had introduced them when they first arrived.

"Just these 11 people." Lu Shaohua handed the paper to Zeng Aimin and said, "I will ask them to send the photos over tomorrow."

"Hmm!" Zeng Aimin took the paper, glanced at it, and raised his head just in time to see Secretary Xu bringing tea over. He handed the paper to him and instructed, "These 11 people need to apply for visas. You call them and ask them to do it first. Once the photos are sent tomorrow, you can stamp them."

"Yes." Secretary Xu took the paper without even looking at it, turned around and walked out, apparently to make a phone call.

The business was over. Lu Shaohua took a sip of the tea that Secretary Xu had just brought over, put the cup on the table, and said, "Uncle Zeng! How is the factory going?"

"Haha! If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. I've already estimated it. Wait a moment, I'll get it for you." Zeng Aimin stood up and went to the desk to get a thick stack of papers and handed it to Lu Shaohua. "Take a look. If you have any questions, ask me in person."

Lu Shaohua didn't say anything, he took it and turned the pages one by one. At first, he was a little interested and read slowly, but the more he read, the less interested he became, because it was all numbers, which gave him a headache. He simply skipped it and turned directly to the last page to see the final result. "I want to take these back and take my time, okay?"

"Okay, I prepared it for you. I wanted to have someone send it to you, but I didn't know you would come here by yourself." Zeng Aimin nodded and said.

"Okay, I'll take her back." Lu Shaohua stood up from the sofa and was about to say goodbye, but suddenly he seemed to remember something and stopped. "Uncle Zeng! Yuling asked me to take her out to play, what do you think..."

Zeng Aimin glanced at Zeng Yuling, who nodded with joy. How could Zeng Aimin say no? It was obviously impossible, so he could only say to Lu Shaohua with a little apology: "Then I'll trouble you."

"Haha! It's okay, I have time." Lu Shaohua said, turning around and signaling Zeng Yuling with his eyes to "let's go." "Then we'll go."

"Okay." Zeng Aimin nodded. Watching Lu Shaohua and the other two walking towards the door, his expression suddenly changed, as if he had something else to say to Lu Shaohua. "Xiaohua, wait a minute, I have something else to tell you."
