Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 584 QQ, Lenovo

Lu Shaohua's words were so clear that Xu Jiarui couldn't have failed to hear them. After all, Xu Jiarui was also in sales and was quite sensitive to sales. When it came to the time given to the sales department for preparation, Xu Jiarui could already think of something.

Yes, just think about it, if those evidences were made public, then what the result would be, you would know it without me saying anything. There would definitely be many users who have purchased Phoenix computers who would give up using the Windows operating system and switch to the Phoenix operating system.

Since many users will switch to Phoenix OS, early preparation becomes necessary. Xu Jiarui can understand, and at the same time, he will make corresponding arrangements. "Director Lu, I will call back to Hong Kong and ask Phoenix Sales to prepare. After that, I will personally hold a press conference to reassure the users in the United States."

"Okay." After saying that, Lu Shaohua still felt a little uneasy, so he gave another reminder. "Remember not to be so transparent at the press conference. Keeping a little suspense will be of some benefit to us now."

"clear."

"Then go ahead and do it. I'll call President Qin and tell him what happened."

This is absolutely good news. Phoenix Group has finally turned from being passive to active, and a breakthrough for Phoenix Group's predicament has been found. All they need to do is publish the evidence, and Phoenix Computer will be able to stay out of the quagmire, return to its past state, and increase its popularity.

There is also the Phoenix operating system. The cause has been found out. Even if evidence is found that it is not MSN's fault, it is certain that it is an MSN problem and has basically nothing to do with the Phoenix operating system. The Phoenix operating system can also get rid of this mess and recover.

But Lu Shaohua thought long-term. In his opinion, this was a crisis that Phoenix Group had to face, but at the same time, it was also a great opportunity, a good opportunity to take Phoenix Group's business to the next level.

If Xu Jiarui and his team can really get evidence that MSN is spreading Trojans, how can Americans, who have long been accustomed to chat software, tolerate it? They must have an instant messaging software to replace it.

Phoenix Group has such a software. Don't forget that a few years ago, Lu Shaohua had already won over Ma Huateng and gave him great support to let Ma Huateng develop the QQ chat software. Several years have passed now, and Ma Huateng did not disappoint Lu Shaohua. In the middle of the year, the QQ chat software had been developed, but now the domestic economy is not developed and is still under beautification, so it has not been launched on the market.

Now is undoubtedly a great opportunity, a good opportunity for QQ to enter the American market. However, so far, QQ has only developed a Chinese version, and the English version has not yet been developed. However, this is not a difficult task. You just need to change the language, and an English version of QQ can be born.

Just change the language and some of the things inside it. It is not a difficult task. Send a few people with high English proficiency and a few programmers to work overtime, and it can be completed in one night. There is no problem with time at all.

So, after Lu Shaohua finished calling Qin Sichen and presented the evidence proving there was no problem with the Phoenix computer and asked Phoenix sales to prepare the Phoenix operating system, he called Chu Lei's cell phone.

"The United States has already obtained evidence." This was Lu Shaohua's first sentence after the call was connected, and it was also a good news for Chu Lei.

"Really?" Chu Lei was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. "That's great, that's great."

Obtaining evidence means that Phoenix Group can get out of the predicament. To put it bluntly, Phoenix Group is fine. This is great news for Chu Lei, and there is no need to say more.

The Shenzhen Phoenix Base has been established for many years. Over the years, Chu Lei has been managing the entire Phoenix Base. He has long regarded the Phoenix Base as his own home. When his family was in trouble, Chu Lei couldn't eat or sleep well. After finally getting out of the predicament, Chu Lei can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"What's the result?" After Chu Lei's overjoyed state, he came to his senses and started to care about the result.

"It can now be basically confirmed that there is a problem with the Microsoft Windows operating system. It was Microsoft that was at fault." Lu Shaohua said with great anger in his voice.

Hearing this, Chu Lei on the other end of the phone was also very angry. It could be heard from his panting. At this time, Chu Lei was breathing heavily to calm his anger. After a long time, he said, "It's good that the results are out. As for the Microsoft matter, I suggest that we settle with them slowly later. Our most important thing now is to stabilize the group first."

After this incident, Phoenix Group suffered heavy losses. Even though the crisis is almost over, it is necessary to stabilize it and not to make drastic changes. From Chu Lei's words, it seems that a gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years. After the group stabilizes, it will settle accounts with Microsoft bit by bit.

In response to this, Lu Shaohua just smiled slightly. What kind of international joke is this? Maybe others may think that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but for Lu Shaohua, he is not used to waiting for the autumn to settle the score. Lu Shaohua is used to taking revenge in this life, which means immediate revenge.

But Lu Shaohua didn't say it, and turned the topic to business. "Is QQ busy now?"

"Oh!" Maybe it was because Lu Shaohua changed the subject too quickly, so quickly that it was a bit off topic, which caused Chu Lei to be stunned and a bit unable to react. However, Chu Lei was Chu Lei after all, and he soon realized that Lu Shaohua must have a reason for asking this question, so he answered honestly. "QQ's market is not good. Although it is constantly building momentum, there are too few people in China who can afford computers. There are not many users, and it is not too busy."

It is only the end of 1996. Not many people in China can afford computers and access the Internet, and there are few Internet cafes. Lu Shaohua expected that there would not be many users. However, this is not a problem. In a few years, QQ will skyrocket in value and become one of the three major Internet giants in China.

"It's OK if they are not busy. We have an important task to give them now." Lu Shaohua seemed to be in high spirits, speaking with a strong sense of joy, and without waiting for Chu Lei to interrupt, he said, "Our QQ may enter the US market. You have to let them work hard to develop an English version of QQ."

"How much time do you give us?" Xu Jiarui asked directly.

"We only have one day and one night. We must have them develop it tomorrow morning and send it to the United States." Lu Shaohua said very seriously.

"One day and one night?" Chu Lei was stunned and said helplessly. "Isn't the time too tight?"

"To be precise, it's not a day and a night, it should be half a day and a night." At the end, Lu Shaohua did not forget to add one more sentence. "It must be completed. What kind of talents are needed to help you as soon as possible."

Things have come to this point, what else can Chu Lei do? He knows very well that Lu Shaohua did this entirely to cooperate with the actions of the United States. If the United States takes action and the English version of QQ is not released, all the efforts may fail.

"I can't promise to complete the task, I can only say I'll try my best." Chu Lei was not sure that he could complete the development of the English version of QQ in half a day and a night, so he could only do his best. After a pause, he changed the subject and said, "There is one more thing I want to tell you, it's about Lenovo."

"Has the acquisition been completed?" Lu Shaohua asked very directly.

Speaking of Lenovo, Phoenix Group has already controlled more than 51% of the shares, forming an absolute controlling stake. It is only a matter of time before it acquires all of them. Moreover, several days have passed, and according to Lu Shaohua's estimate, the acquisition should have been completed.

"Haha." Chu Lei laughed and said, "You guessed right. If you didn't call me, I would have called you. Just now your sister called me and said that everything has been done and she is now on a plane back from Sichuan."

"That's good." After a pause, Lu Shaohua continued, "The follow-up arrangements have been made. We will integrate Lenovo's computer technology as soon as possible and merge it with our Phoenix computers to learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses."

Lu Shaohua's acquisition of Lenovo Group was certainly for revenge, but it was also for Phoenix Computer. Phoenix Group's current technical level can be considered top-notch, but it also has some flaws. If Lenovo Computer is merged with it, Phoenix Computer's technology will definitely have a qualitative leap.

"That's no problem. I've already arranged for someone to go over there. It won't take much effort to integrate it." Chu Lei said confidently, and then added, "Now that Lenovo Group has acquired it, their trademark is also owned by Lenovo Group, not by an individual. We can't waste such a trademark."

Lu Shaohua knew what Chu Lei wanted to say, which was simply not to waste a trademark, that is, not to waste the Lenovo brand, let Phoenix Group have two computer brands, and preserve the Lenovo brand.

Before acquiring Lenovo Group, Lu Shaohua had already considered this issue. Now, after Chu Lei's reminder, Lu Shaohua also knew that it was time to make some arrangements. "Keep it, so that our group has two computer brands, but Lenovo Computer still needs to work hard on technology and improve its overall level, so that it can have a certain degree of competitiveness."

After finishing his words, Lu Shaohua did not wait for Chu Lei to speak and continued, "We can also do this. We Phoenix Computer mainly produces desktop computers, and Lenovo Group will let them focus on notebook computers. The market is also huge."

The two companies belong to the same Phoenix Group. How could Lu Shaohua bear to see them competing with each other? It would be better to separate the two and have each company focus on one aspect, thus avoiding the existence of competition.

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Chu Lei agreed without saying a word.

“Also, Lenovo Group will have to change its name to Phoenix Lenovo.” Lu Shaohua emphasized at the end.

Lenovo is now a subsidiary of Phoenix Computer under Phoenix Group and also belongs to Phoenix Group, so changing the name becomes very important. How could Lu Shaohua still let them call it Lenovo Group?

"clear."
