Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 705: Targeting Network Mailbox

What is the Internet Kingdom? In Lu Shaohua's conception, the Internet Kingdom is a plan for the Internet, or it can be said to be the IT industry. However, Lu Shaohua's plan is different from the general IT industry. Lu Shaohua wants to mobilize all resources to coordinate and develop a wide-ranging plan.

Judging from the current situation, Lu Shaohua is indeed doing it. In terms of hardware, he has Phoenix Computer to support him, and Phoenix Communications Company as a foundation, controlling the network providers. In the future, it is possible that Phoenix mobile phones will also be involved, allowing mobile phones to be connected to the Internet.

As for computer software, Phoenix Operating System opened the way first, followed by Phoenix Antivirus, then Phoenix Financial Management, and there may be more in the future. As long as there is potential software, Lu Shaohua wants to develop them one by one and build a software empire.

As for the Internet industry, up to now, Lu Shaohua only owns Phoenix Tencent. Other areas are still waiting for Lu Shaohua to develop to perfect the dominant position in the Internet industry in his mind.

What is the Internet industry? This is an industry that does not have a complete description. However, when Lu Shaohua thought about it, the Internet industry was nothing more than an industry related to the Internet, and Lu Shaohua already had a preliminary plan in his mind.

Phoenix and Tencent are part of the Internet industry. Lu Shaohua already has them, so there is no need for him to enter this industry. But what about online games, online cinemas, and online shopping?

There is no need to say much about online games. Shanghai's Shanda Group made a name for itself with "Legend of Mir" and eventually became the leading company in the online gaming industry. The only company that could compete with it was Perfect World. This shows how great the potential of the online gaming industry is. After all, Shanda Group's market value reached hundreds of billions of dollars in the later period.

Then there is the online cinema. Needless to say, this online cinema is a website for watching movies online. The cost is not high, but the potential of this industry is no less than that of online games.

In his previous life, Lu Shaohua worked as a technical supervisor in an Internet cafe and knew that many people who went to the Internet cafe would watch movies online when they were bored. Later, a series of online movie websites were born, such as Tudou, 56, Ku6, Youku and other famous websites.

Lu Shaohua wants to participate in the online movie industry, and he wants to make it stronger and bigger. However, it is not advisable to enter the industry too early at this time. In Lu Shaohua's plan, the entry into the online movie industry will be postponed until a few years later.

Some people may wonder why Lu Shaohua doesn’t enter the online movie industry now. Isn’t it said that entering the industry early can better establish its position?

Not necessarily. Lu Shaohua is not stupid. With the current network, can it support online movies? The answer is obvious. It cannot be supported. Even if an online movie website is opened, who can wait patiently if the playback is stuck?

Furthermore, the Internet is not yet popularized, and many people still don’t know how to surf the Internet. If an online movie website were to be opened now, it is hard to say whether the website’s traffic would be zero.

This is Lu Shaohua's only choice.

There is another industry that needs to be put behind, and that is online shopping. Similar to online movies, it would be a disaster to launch it when the Internet is not yet popular. More importantly, online shopping has many drawbacks. It is unwise to enter this field when relevant policies have not yet been introduced.

After screening out the three major industries, only online games are left for entry. This makes Lu Shaohua very helpless. However, Lu Shaohua is not discouraged at all. As the saying goes, one must eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. Lu Shaohua is not in a hurry, and there is no way to be in a hurry.

In fact, Lu Shaohua also overlooked an industry, that is the email business, online email. This business made NetEase shine. With the 163 and 126 email products, it squeezed into the top three domestic IT giants and surpassed Tencent.

However, this was only in the early stages. With the development of the times, NetEase shifted its focus to the Internet industry and occupied a place in it. Although its email business performed well, it declined after all.

Of course, the decline of NetEase Mail is not entirely due to the shift in focus. The more important reason is that its competitors are too strong and have squeezed NetEase Mail out of the circle.

Who is that competitor?

There is only one answer, and that is Tencent. Online email is a big business, so how could Ma Huateng not be tempted? After stabilizing QQ, Tencent began to enter the email business. Finally, relying on the large number of QQ users, it successfully squeezed out NetEase Email's position and replaced it.

Since Tencent in the previous life was able to replace NetEase's position in the email market, what about this life? Don't forget that Lu Shaohua is a reborn person. He knows the trajectory of historical development. Why doesn't Lu Shaohua make things that are inevitable happen in advance?

Therefore, Lu Shaohua had already made plans for online email. After a while, he notified Ma Huateng and asked him to start preparations and officially begin to enter the email field.

Things are different now. The current Tencent is no longer the Tencent of the past. Due to the intervention of Lu Shaohua, Tencent QQ has become Phoenix Tencent. It used to be the leader only in China, but now it is the leader in the world.

China has a large population and a vast land area, but after all, it is only China. Compared with the entire earth, China's land becomes insignificant. Having a place in China, a country with a large population, does not necessarily mean having a place in the world.

Now, the development trajectory of Phoenix Tencent has changed. It is moving around the global market. The number of registered users is increasing at a terrifying rate every day. The situation is very good.

Well, if Lu Shaohua wants to use Phoenix Tencent to enter an industry, he must enter the global market. Therefore, Lu Shaohua's ambition is not in China at all. A NetEase mailbox is not even in Lu Shaohua's eyes. Lu Shaohua's idea is: to defeat competitors and occupy a certain position in the world by gathering a large amount of popularity through QQ.

Yotaro is arrogant...

If Lu Shaohua tells others about his idea, some people will definitely say that he is arrogant, but Lu Shaohua doesn't mind at all. He has the ability to push Phoenix Tencent to the top. After all, Phoenix Tencent is backed by Phoenix Group.

But then again, all this is just Lu Shaohua's idea, and it is just talk. There is still a long way to go. It is too early for Lu Shaohua to draw a conclusion now.

"Take it slow..." Lu Shaohua secretly warned himself in his heart.

In Lu Shaohua's dictionary, nothing is empty talk. Without ambitious plans, how can the company develop? Without goals, it will lose its direction. So now, occupying a certain position in the world is a goal, and Phoenix Tencent will work towards this direction in the future.

This is the only way for now. There is no point in being anxious. Lu Shaohua can only let it develop slowly and reach that ambitious goal step by step.

Everything was planned, and the next things became much simpler. The next morning, Lu Shaohua came to the headquarters of Shenzhen Phoenix Group and went directly into the chairman's office. Then he called his sister, Lu Xiaoxian, the current executive president of Phoenix Group.

"Sister, how is the group doing recently?" Lu Shaohua asked when he saw Lu Xiaoxian come in and sit down.

The Phoenix Group in Shenzhen is only responsible for the domestic market. When the Asian financial crisis hit, the domestic market was basically unaffected. Everything was as usual. The products of the Phoenix Group were also sold as usual.

"It's OK here, especially our Phoenix Supermarket, which has developed a lot. We have established head offices and branches in several major cities." Lu Xiaoxian said with a smile. "But, Fourth Uncle is too busy. He spends all day outside."

As Lu Xiaoxian said, Phoenix Supermarket is developing at the fastest speed. In the retail industry, Phoenix Supermarket has defeated Hualian and is the largest seller in China. And all this is due to Lu Jiahui.

After all, Lu Jiahui is a high school graduate. In the past few years, he could be considered a top student. After a period of training, he now knows a lot about business and is a complete entrepreneur.

Lu Shaohua knew more or less about the situation here. He smiled in his heart when he heard what Lu Xiaoxian said. He was happy to see this scene today. After all, Lu Jiahui was his uncle. Lu Shaohua was happy for him for his achievements today.

"It's my duty to be busy." After saying that, Lu Shaohua paused for a moment and continued, "However, you should also tell Fourth Uncle that as the general manager of Phoenix Sales, there is no need to be present at everything in person. Some things can be handed over to the people below to do."

Lu Shaohua’s meaning is very clear: we must know how to delegate power and also know how to use people.

"I have told him, but it cannot be changed at once. Fourth uncle is still the same fourth uncle as before, running around all day when he has nothing to do." Lu Xiaoxian seemed helpless when she said this.

As a nephew, Lu Shaohua knew very well what kind of person Lu Jiahui was and what his personality was like. At the same time, Lu Shaohua also knew that it was basically impossible to change Lu Jiahui's personality, and the only way was for him to change himself.

Since it couldn't be changed, Lu Shaohua had nothing to say, so he smiled bitterly and shifted the topic to the point. "Sister, Phoenix Communications has been developing very fast recently."

Lu Shaohua was just throwing out some ideas. Phoenix Communications was developing very fast, but that was overall. For example, the speed of network coverage was too slow. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as a turtle's pace. Lu Shaohua was very dissatisfied with this...
