Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 587: Backhand

After hanging up the call with Xu Jiarui, Lu Shaohua felt tired. Yes, Lu Shaohua was really tired. Phoenix Group was in trouble a few days ago, and Lu Shaohua was exhausted physically and mentally. Now there was finally a turnaround. He thought he could relax for a few days, but he encountered an absolute opportunity. Lu Shaohua had to stand up and plan to fight a good counterattack.

Plan first and then act, this has always been Lu Shaohua's style of action. This time is no exception. Lu Shaohua also chose to plan first and then act. This plan is so huge that Lu Shaohua feels that his brain is not enough.

Being forgetful is his most notable characteristic. For example, when QQ was demonstrated at the press conference, Lu Shaohua did not take Xu Jiarui into consideration. It was a common mistake. He thought that everyone was like him, a reborn person, who knew QQ very well and knew every function in it.

Wrong, Lu Shaohua was very wrong. How could someone who had never touched QQ software understand its functions and operate everything in a short time? Xu Jiarui was the one who had never touched QQ. He didn't understand QQ, let alone operate it. In addition, time was imminent, and he had almost no time to familiarize himself with QQ.

Helpless, deeply helpless, Lu Shaohua could only call Chu Lei again and ask him to send someone to the United States first, and then give him some instructions about the website.

Now that QQ is about to be officially launched, it becomes necessary to have its **homepage. Otherwise, how can users download it and register an account?

For the current Phoenix Group, which is full of talented people, it is very simple to build an official homepage and apply for a link domain name. The servers are also ready-made. Several servers can be easily pulled out in the Phoenix base. Just let Phoenix Mobile contact them and it will be connected to the network in an instant.

Lu Shaohua gave corresponding instructions for the official homepage, registration page, and allocation of account codes. Especially regarding the account codes, Lu Shaohua gave a strict order to apply starting from the ninth digit.

That’s right, nine-digit QQ accounts were issued from the beginning, which is very different from the previous life. In the previous life, Ma Huateng started with five digits. But now it is different. Not only was QQ released ahead of schedule, it was also first promoted in the United States and then globally.

Since it is being promoted globally, the demand for accounts will naturally increase. If five-digit QQ numbers are issued, they will probably be snapped up in a short time. More importantly, with the current prospects of QQ, there will be more and more users in the future, so five-, six-, seven-, and eight-digit QQ numbers will be a huge fortune. How could Lu Shaohua give up this huge fortune that can be regarded as a treasure?

Chu Lei always resolutely carried out Lu Shaohua's orders. Now that Lu Shaohua had made arrangements, how could Chu Lei disobey them? He agreed to everything one by one, then hung up the phone and hurriedly went to dispatch personnel to do things.

However, just when Lu Shaohua thought he could relax and take a break, the cell phone he had just put back on the table suddenly rang. Lu Shaohua could only shake his head with a wry smile, looked at the caller ID, and then pressed the answer button.

"Brother Li, are there any results over there?" Lu Shaohua asked.

The person who called was none other than Li Zhijie, who was in charge of the intelligence network. When he heard Lu Shaohua get straight to the point, Li Zhijie did not hesitate and continued the conversation. "There is already a result. Our people have already found out that it is Microsoft, Dell, IBM, and Apple that have joined forces. Their goal is very simple, which is to completely defeat the Phoenix Group and seize all the market shares of Phoenix computers."

Lu Shaohua was certain of this result when Xu Jiarui reported back that it was Microsoft's doing. Now, after hearing Li Zhijie's confirmation again, he could almost reach 2% accuracy, that is, the four companies joined forces. However, since Lu Shaohua already knew the answer, it didn't matter whether they joined forces or not. What mattered was their next move.

"Have you found out their plan?" Lu Shaohua asked again.

"Their plan is very simple. Microsoft will take the lead and deal a blow to Phoenix Group first. The other three computer manufacturers will follow suit, but their actions are very simple. They only want to seize the market. Oh, and by the way, those three computer manufacturers have large quantities of finished products in their warehouses. They will prepare to sell them in the next two or three days and completely squeeze Phoenix computers out of the market." Li Zhijie selected the important parts of his investigation results and stated them.

"Their plan has failed. I have obtained evidence that has nothing to do with Phoenix Computer and Phoenix Operating System. It is impossible for them to use volume to squeeze Phoenix Computer out of the market." Lu Shaohua said mockingly.

Lu Shaohua had the qualifications to laugh at the other party, at the three computer manufacturers. If he had not obtained the evidence, he might have let them succeed. But now it was impossible. As soon as the evidence was released tomorrow, all the negative impacts of Phoenix Group would disappear, and their plans would fail.

However, Li Zhijie seemed not so optimistic and dropped another bombshell. "They came prepared this time. Dell, IBM, and Apple, the three computer manufacturers, had already developed high-level configuration hardware in the middle of the year. Now they are also desperately manufacturing this configuration. This is their backup plan in case the previous plan fails."

"You mean, they plan to use a higher-level configuration as a backup, and use configuration warfare after the initial plan fails?" Lu Shaohua asked.

"Yes, this information was passed on by one of my commercial spies. It is 100% accurate," Li Zhijie said again.

"..." Lu Shaohua was silent for a while, and then asked after a long while. "Do you know what their higher-level configuration is?"

"Yes, I have a detailed list in my hand, which records all the configurations of the three companies." After that, Li Zhijie asked again. "Do you want me to pass the list to you?"

"Yes, but don't send it to me, but to Brother Guobang. By the way, let Brother Guobang contact the people at the base as soon as possible and ask them to compare the configuration with our Phoenix computers. After the results are out, let Brother Guobang call me." Lu Shaohua said hurriedly.

"Okay." Li Zhijie responded, and then changed the subject, saying, "Also, I have evidence that the four companies are working together to put the Phoenix Group to death. Do you want to pass it along?"

"Yes." Lu Shaohua said only one word, very firmly.

Are you kidding? This is the most powerful killer move. How could Lu Shaohua not want it? At the critical moment, this killer move might have unexpected results. Why do you say that?

The reason is simple. It is normal in business, but this kind of competition that requires tricks is not so glorious in any way. Although we cannot prosecute them through legal means by having evidence of their collusion, we can ruin the reputation of these four companies. And ruining the reputation of competitors will definitely bring great benefits to Phoenix Group.

"Okay, I'll teleport over right away."

"Well, send someone to keep a close eye on those four companies. Call me as soon as there is any movement." Lu Shaohua made his final instructions and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shaohua felt powerless again. He thought he was about to get out of the predicament, but suddenly, the situation changed again. Dell, IBM and Apple all had backup plans and dealt a fatal blow to Phoenix Computer at the last moment.

It is true that Phoenix Computer's configuration has always been ahead of any other computer manufacturer. Even the computers currently circulating in the market are also ahead of Phoenix Computer in configuration. But now the three companies are holding back. Lu Shaohua is almost certain that the configuration in the hands of the other party is definitely higher than the highest configuration of Phoenix Computer now.

It is not terrible that the other party has computers that are better than the ones Phoenix Computer currently circulated in the market. What is terrible is that Lu Shaohua has no time left. He does not have extra time to let Phoenix Computer produce higher-level computer configurations. Phoenix Computer is destined to fall behind.

Facts have proved this. Not long after, Chen Guobang called and confirmed that the configurations of the three companies were higher than those of Phoenix Computers currently circulating in the market. In comparison, Phoenix Computers were eclipsed and its competitiveness was greatly reduced.

"Xiaohua, why don't we start producing computers that are higher level than theirs?" Chen Guobang said tentatively on the phone.

Phoenix Base has no shortage of technology and has all the configuration technology for a higher level. The problem is that time waits for no one. By the time Phoenix Computer's higher level computer configuration is produced, it will be too late and Phoenix Computer will have lost its leading position.

But then again, production must be started, and it must be started immediately. "Brother, tell Brother Chu to start producing a higher level of computers immediately. Well, this time we need to produce them in large quantities, without restrictions."

Things have come to this point, Lu Shaohua can no longer care about so many things, not to mention that Lu Shaohua already has an absolute plan in mind. Unfortunately, this plan must be carried out with the cooperation of a large number of high-configuration computers. This is the source of Lu Shaohua's decisive order.

"Okay, I'll go find Chu Lei right away." Chen Guobang's voice did not change at all, still so steady and calm.

After hanging up the phone, a sinister smile appeared on Lu Shaohua's face. Yes, it was a sinister smile. If outsiders saw it, they would definitely point out at the first moment that Lu Shaohua was going to scheme against someone, and would make that person miserable.
