Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 698: Internet Kingdom

Lu Shaohua agreed, not only because he saw the potential of Longteng Venture Capital, but more importantly, he wanted to tie both Henry Fok and Li Ka-shing to his chariot. After all, these two people have great influence in Hong Kong, and making friends with them will only benefit Lu Shaohua and not harm him. More importantly, $1 million is nothing to Lu Shaohua now.

For Ho Ying-tung and others, 1 million and more than 1 million US dollars were a bit stressful. However, after the financial crisis, both Ho Ying-tung and Li Ka-shing made a grand slam and there was no problem anymore, so they could definitely afford it.

So, after Lu Shaohua expressed no objection, Ho Ying-tung and Li Jiacheng took out their checkbooks on the spot, signed the checks, and then waited for Lu Shaohua to sign the checks as well. After everything was done, they handed the three checks to the current general manager of Longteng Venture Capital.

"I think it's about time. Let's go have a meal together." After discussing the serious matters, Ho Ying-tung felt that the three of them had not been together for a long time, so he simply suggested that the three of them go out for a meal.

Li Jiacheng made a decision quickly and nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

As for Lu Shaohua, he had no problem at all. He had dealt with the group's affairs and had nothing to do at home. It seemed nothing wrong to have dinner with Ho Ying-tung and the others. So, Lu Shaohua smiled lightly, nodded, and agreed.

When the three giants of Hong Kong's business community dine together, they have to be treated carefully no matter which hotel they are in. So when Lu Shaohua, Ho Ying-tung and Li Jiacheng walked into a five-star hotel, the front desk immediately called the general manager of the hotel, who quickly came down and personally arranged a private room for Lu Shaohua and his party. Then he took the menu and personally introduced Lu Shaohua and his party, acting completely like a waiter.

Are Lu Shaohua and his group worthy of being served by a hotel general manager? The answer is beyond doubt: they are worthy, and they are very worthy. Even if the owner of the hotel comes to serve Lu Shaohua and his group, there is no problem.

Things are different now. In the past, Lu Shaohua had a lot of money, but his reputation was far less than it is now. After the Asian financial crisis, Phoenix Group stands like a god in Hong Kong.

He is completely like a god. Not to mention that Lu Shaohua has a lot of money, just the fact that Lu Shaohua defended Hong Kong twice is enough to make people worship him as a god. After all, Lu Shaohua's contribution to Hong Kong is irreplaceable.

As for Ho Ying-tung and Li Ka-shing, there is no need to say more. Not only did they participate in the defense of Hong Kong, but they have also stood in Hong Kong for many years. They are both celebrities. In Hong Kong, anyone who sees them has to give them some courtesy.

Reputation is always empty, and strength is the most important. On this issue, whether it is Lu Shaohua, Huo Yingdong, or Li Jiacheng, they are all very clear that the most important thing is to improve their own strength. As for empty reputation, they don't care about it.

"Okay, let's have these dishes first. We can order more later if needed." After ordering two dishes, Ho Ying-Tong returned the menu to the general manager and spoke.

The general manager of the hotel responded with an apologetic smile, left the box and went to arrange for the serving of the dishes.

All of a sudden, the box returned to silence, with only three people left. They could talk freely about anything without worrying about being disturbed.

At this time, Huo Yingdong also picked up a topic and said, "The business in Shenzhen is getting better and better, and we have made a lot of money. Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Xiaohua. Well, I have to drink a few more glasses before I can finish my work, hehe..."

"Yes, our business is doing well and is constantly growing. This is all thanks to you, Xiaohua." Li Jiacheng echoed.

"Haha..." Lu Shaohua laughed, stopped, and said, "Let's make money together. No need to thank me. China is such a big market, I can't take it all by myself. If that's the case, why not bring a few friends to make money together."

Just as Lu Shaohua said, it is impossible for him to take over such a large market as China by himself. Why not let a few friends with whom he has a good relationship make money together? This is the original intention of establishing the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. As the initiator, Lu Shaohua has this responsibility.

Huo Yingdong and Li Jiacheng have known Lu Shaohua for such a long time, of course they know his character, seeing this, both of them smiled lightly and did not continue the topic, but Huo Yingdong took the initiative to change the subject. "I want to go to Shenzhen to have a look. I haven't been there for a long time. I want to go and inspect it."

"I'm planning to go there too. Let's find a time to go together." Li Jiacheng also said.

"I plan to go there too." Lu Shaohua smiled and said, "I may go to Shenzhen for a while to see the situation there and speed up the progress of a project."

Lu Shaohua really planned to go to Shenzhen. In addition to taking a look at the development of Shenzhen Phoenix Group, he also wanted to learn about network construction issues, which could be regarded as preparation for his network kingdom.

The Internet Kingdom is something Lu Shaohua has planned for a long time. Until now, only a shell has appeared and it has not grown stronger. Now that there is funding, Lu Shaohua should also put the core construction of the Internet Kingdom on the agenda.

In Lu Shaohua's plan, this Internet kingdom includes the development of the Internet industry. Lu Shaohua plans to enter a series of fields such as online games, online cinemas, online shopping, etc.

Of course, Lu Shaohua also plans to enter the field of computing software, and currently has a form, the Phoenix operating system, and Phoenix anti-virus software, which appeared a few years ago. Next, Lu Shaohua plans to expand the scale and tap into some industries with commercial value.

Lu Shaohua could have entered those industries several years ago, but unfortunately, China's economic level was still relatively low, not many people had computers, and the consumer group was limited, so Lu Shaohua could only delay. And China's Internet, needless to say, is far from being popularized, so some industries are destined to never rise.

Things are different now. With the efforts of Phoenix Group, the network coverage area is getting larger and larger. With the improvement of economy, the consumer group is gradually expanding. Although computers have not yet changed, many people can afford them. This forces Lu Shaohua to start a comprehensive plan.

And what Lu Shaohua said, that he was going to Shenzhen, was for this matter.

"Oh!" Huo Yingdong was stunned, then smiled and said, "It seems that we are lucky and can enjoy your private plane. Well, don't forget to notify us when the time comes, and we will go with you."

It was an open secret in the Hong Kong business community that Lu Shaohua owned a private jet. Of course, Ho Ying-tung also knew about it. He had also thought about getting a private jet to use as his own vehicle, but his wealth was limited after all, and could not be compared with Lu Shaohua's, so he had to give up the idea in the end.

Now that Lu Shaohua was going to Shenzhen, Ho Ying-tung certainly did not want to miss this opportunity. He decided to take a ride on the special plane to take a look and feel the atmosphere he had never felt before.

"Yes, remember to inform us when you are there." Li Jiacheng also smiled and raised his voice.

"No problem." What else could Lu Shaohua say but to agree.

During the meal, Lu Shaohua, Ho Ying-tung and Li Ka-shing spent the meal chatting and laughing. In the end, the three of them rushed to pay the bill, but it was still Lu Shaohua who paid for it. He used the excuse that he, a younger generation, was treating the elders, so Ho Ying-tung and the others had to let Lu Shaohua pay the bill.

After dinner, the three of them dispersed and left. Li Jiacheng returned to his company, Ho Ying-tung returned to his residence, and Lu Shaohua did the same, returning to his residence and resuming his previous life.

However, after returning to his residence, Lu Shaohua did not sit idle, but went into the study and began to write down the industries that he was going to be involved in but had not yet been involved in, and also noted some matters that needed attention, making all preparations before the trip.

In the evening, Qin Sichen came back and Lu Shaohua told her that he would be going to Shenzhen for a while. Qin Sichen did not object, but she made a request, which was that she should go home once before Lu Shaohua went to Shenzhen, because she wanted to see Lu Yuting.

Lu Yuting is the daughter of Lu Shaohua and also the daughter of Qin Sichen. Lu Shaohua decided to go to Shenzhen, and it is unknown when he can return to Hong Kong. Although Hong Kong is not far from Shenzhen, it is always a bit troublesome for Qin Sichen to go to Shenzhen to take a special plane home. Qin Sichen simply wants to go home before Lu Shaohua goes there, which can save a lot of trouble.

The next things were much simpler. He took some time off, took a special plane home in the evening, stayed at home for one night, and rushed back to Hong Kong the next night. Afterwards, Qin Sichen resumed his normal life, going between the company and home every day.

On the third day after returning to Hong Kong, Lu Shaohua called up Ho Ying-tung and Li Ka-shing. The three of them left Hong Kong on a special plane and landed at the square of Phoenix Base, starting Lu Shaohua's journey to Shenzhen.

The plane just landed at Phoenix Base. Lu Shaohua did not hesitate to call Zeng Yuling and Anten Chiyo, asking them if they had time to come to Shenzhen. He wanted to get together with them.

But the result disappointed Lu Shaohua. How could Zeng Yuling and Anteng Chiyo have time in mid-October? If it was half a month earlier, Zeng Yu and Anteng Chiyo would have had the National Day holiday and maybe they would have had some time. But now it's probably not possible.

However, in the end, Lu Shaohua could not resist Chiyoko Andeng's constant nagging and agreed to her. After finishing his business in Shenzhen, Lu Shaohua would go to Beijing to accompany them, which could be regarded as fulfilling the obligations of a boyfriend.
