Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 709 Chinese Search Engine

Lu Shaohua always believed that he was a person who could distinguish between public and private affairs, and in fact, this was true. Lu Shaohua was indeed a person who could distinguish between public and private affairs. When talking about official business, his tone and style of doing things were all business-like. Just like now, facing his own sister, if there were some things that were not handled well, Lu Shaohua would still give her a different look.

Apart from anything else, even regarding the network coverage, Lu Shaohua thought the speed was too slow, but he still said it out loud without giving Lu Xiaoxian a good look. Regarding the problem with the cable, Lu Shaohua also thought that Lu Xiaoxian did not handle it well, and his tone was not very natural.

Fortunately, Lu Xiaoxian is his biological sister. If it were in someone else's hands, Lu Shaohua would probably have cursed. After all, this kind of thing is a big deal. Not to mention the network coverage, Lu Shaohua was short of funds at the time, so it can't be blamed on Lu Xiaoxian. But what about the problem of the cable?

That was something that was within their ability. Just because of Lu Xiaoxian's hesitation, Phoenix Group had to pay much more money. This was a low-level mistake, but Lu Xiaoxian made it. As the executive president of a group, she should learn to be thrifty and should not make such low-level mistakes.

Lu Xiaoxian also knew that she was in the wrong, so she didn't say anything because she understood her brother's character. He might seem calm on the surface, but once he started yelling, it would be a disaster. It was the first time they were able to talk it out nicely.

But then again, Lu Shaohua was already very satisfied that Lu Xiaoxian could keep a cool head in the face of major issues. Over the years, it was not easy for Lu Xiaoxian to take care of such a big business as the Phoenix Group in Shenzhen.

After taking a few long breaths to calm himself down, Lu Shaohua returned to normal and started to move on to the next topic.

The next topic was nothing else but Lu Shaohua's plan for his internet empire. First of all, Lu Shaohua proposed to form an online game development team. He wanted Lu Xiaoxian to register a company, recruit talents in this field, arrange work space, and so on.

Lu Shaohua had the idea of ​​building this online game development company in the Phoenix Base, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. After all, the Phoenix Base was full of production workshops, and it would not be appropriate to put the company there.

Apart from anything else, the headquarters of Phoenix Operating System used to be located at Phoenix Base. When Phoenix Building was completed and officially moved into the new headquarters, Phoenix Software Company, to which Phoenix Operating System belongs, had already moved here and is now located in the office building of Phoenix Building.

Lu Xiaoxian also agreed. Although she felt a lot of pressure, she could not stop Lu Shaohua's plan. What's more, Lu Xiaoxian had more faith in Lu Shaohua and knew that Lu Shaohua would not enter a new industry for no reason.

Lu Xiaoxian agreed, and the establishment of Phoenix Game Company was a foregone conclusion. Lu Shaohua then explained some details in detail. After Lu Xiaoxian understood his words, Lu Shaohua changed the subject and moved on to the next topic.

The next topic is very simple, it is about Phoenix Software Company. This time Lu Shaohua came to Shenzhen with a huge amount of money. The nearly 100 billion US dollars is not only for speeding up the grid coverage, but also for other aspects.

For example, Lu Shaohua wanted to improve Phoenix Antivirus Software as soon as possible so that it could appear in the market earlier and participate in the competition. To this end, Lu Shaohua also specifically instructed Lu Xiaoxian to register another company and name it Phoenix Network Security Company to completely develop the antivirus software business.

**Yes** came out, but Lu Shaohua did not do it too thoroughly. It was still affiliated with Phoenix Software Company and was considered a subsidiary of Phoenix Software Company. The same was true for Phoenix Game Company, which were all affiliated with Phoenix Software Company.

Lu Xiaoxian also did not raise any objection and nodded in agreement. However, Lu Xiaoxian did make a suggestion, proposing that Phoenix Software be upgraded to a group and all the companies under it become subsidiaries.

According to the rules for registering a group, it must have five subsidiaries to become a group. Now, if we calculate, Phoenix Software seems to have almost five subsidiaries, namely Phoenix Games, Phoenix Network Security, Phoenix Operating System, and Phoenix Finance mentioned by Lu Shaohua.

There are four subsidiaries now, and Lu Xiaoxian did not make a mistake in her calculation. She knows that four subsidiaries cannot allow Phoenix Software to be upgraded to a group company, but this kind of thing can be changed. The meaning revealed in Lu Xiaoxian's words is already very clear.

Another shell company was established to make the number five, successfully upgrading Phoenix Software Company to Phoenix Software Group, a Phoenix Software Group under Phoenix Group.

Whether it is upgraded or not has no impact on Phoenix Group or Lu Shaohua. Lu Shaohua certainly has no objection, but Lu Shaohua is unwilling to set up a shell company. That would be a shame for Phoenix Group, and Lu Shaohua disdains to do such a thing.

In Lu Shaohua's Internet empire plan, he still has many projects that he has not yet launched. Just taking out any one of them will make up five subsidiaries.

But the problem arises again. Lu Shaohua suddenly couldn't come up with a project that could be implemented now. As for online movies, it was too early and not suitable to be established. As for online shopping, it was still too early and had nothing to do with it.

Headache. Lu Shaohua had a terrible headache. For a moment, he was in a dilemma and didn't know how to deal with it.

Phoenix Software's upgrade to a group is a foregone conclusion. Lu Shaohua doesn't want to change it, but it's a bit difficult to find a project that can be implemented now.

Finally, Lu Shaohua racked his brains. Fortunately, he did not waste his time. He actually thought of a project, a big project that Lu Shaohua almost overlooked. Once this big project succeeded, Phoenix Group would really become a giant in the Internet.

This project is nothing but a search engine. In the previous life, Baidu made Robin Li's fortune soar, and he became one of the richest people in the world. It is conceivable how great the potential of this industry is.

If Lu Shaohua wanted to build a network kingdom, how could he miss a search engine? This was one of the big projects that Lu Shaohua had neglected. It was not Lu Shaohua's fault. Lu Shaohua had too many things to think about these days, so it was normal for him to neglect one.

The Chinese search engine looks simple on the surface, but Lu Shaohua knows how difficult it is to develop such a search engine. The number of programs required has reached a terrifying number.

However, Lu Shaohua was not worried at all. He believed that as long as he invested the money, there would be no problem. The main issue was whether the time was ripe.

Baidu was launched in the market in 2000, and now it is 1998. That is to say, Robin Li has not yet developed Baidu, and Lu Shaohua has plenty of time to start one before him. By then, China will be dominated by Phoenix Group.

Developing a Chinese search engine in two years is not a problem at all with Lu Shaohua's current financial and human resources. In addition, Phoenix Communications has a huge capital injection, which may speed up the development of China's Internet. The timing is about right, so it is a feasible project.

Lu Shaohua is a man of action. However, Chinese search engines are a new industry after all. Not only have they not been heard of in China, but also in foreign countries, except for Google, no one has even heard of them. If Lu Xiaoxian wants to start such a company, she will probably have no idea where to start unless Lu Shaohua explains it clearly.

So, Lu Shaohua explained to Lu Xiaoxian the functions of Baidu in his previous life and some other things, and then explained the development model. After Lu Xiaoxian nodded repeatedly to show that she understood, Lu Shaohua gave a name to the Chinese search engine project he was going to enter.

"Phoenix Baidu"

This was the name Lu Shaohua gave to the industry he was planning to enter, and then he asked Lu Xiaoxian to quickly register such a company and prepare to recruit people to develop a Chinese search engine to establish his dominant position in this field.

Lu Xiaoxian has limited knowledge of computer technology, but it doesn't matter, someone will understand it. As long as she registers the company and finds some professionals, it can run smoothly. This is what Lu Shaohua taught her - "You don't need to understand, you just need to manage and employ people."

What a joke! As the executive president of Phoenix Group and Lu Shaohua's biological sister, Lu Xiaoxian holds an extraordinary status. Moreover, she has studied with Qin Sichen for several years and has practiced for so long that she has become an expert. Naturally, she has no problem with management and employing people. Therefore, when Lu Shaohua proposed this project, Lu Xiaoxian only heard of the introduction and knew about it, so she readily agreed.

After explaining this, Lu Shaohua knew that today's topic should come to an end. He chatted with his sister for a few more words before letting Lu Xiaoxian go about her business.

Lu Shaohua seldom comes to the Phoenix Building in Shenzhen and is not very familiar with it, but it does not affect Lu Shaohua's movement inside the Phoenix Building. After all, the internal layout of this building was designed by Lin Qiquan and others, and it is not much different from the Phoenix Building in Hong Kong. Lu Shaohua is naturally familiar with it.

After leaving the chairman's office, people began to stroll down the floors, which could be considered an inspection of the group.

Lu Shaohua's young face has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. As an employee of Phoenix Group, there is no one who does not know their boss, so when Lu Shaohua was strolling in the Phoenix Building, no one came to stop him. On the contrary, seeing the boss inspecting, the atmosphere in the group became more solemn.

However, what Lu Shaohua could not have imagined was that when he reached the 23rd floor, something unexpected happened in a room that was known as the most important computer room.
