Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 719: The End of the Shenzhen Trip

As for Phoenix Search, Lu Shaohua developed it according to his memory of Baidu in his previous life, including its functions and some important details. Lu Shaohua instilled them to the senior management and program engineers of Phoenix Search, and finally solved a long-standing problem.

In the following period of time, Lu Shaohua also made orderly arrangements. He took a week to set up the other four subsidiaries and instilled his advanced new ideas in them. However, this arrangement was very strange. Phoenix Games was allocated four days, Phoenix Finance was allocated only half a day, and the remaining two and a half days were given to Phoenix Network Security.

In fact, this arrangement is not very strange. Let's just talk about Phoenix Financial Management. This subsidiary was originally a department of Phoenix Software. It developed a financial management software and has been in use for a long time. It can be said to be very mature. The only thing it lacks now is how to sell it.

It was just a question of how to sell, which Lu Shaohua didn't care about. He actually arranged half a day not to instill his business philosophy, but to go there and take a look. If there was anything wrong, Lu Shaohua would point it out.

As for Phoenix Antivirus? Lu Shaohua had his reasons for arranging two and a half days. The reason was simple: antivirus software would not be competitive in the future market. If it was competitive, it would only be in the next few years.

With the emergence of 360 Guard and 360 Antivirus, the network security market has completely lost, because 360 ​​is free. According to Chinese habits, if there is free stuff and it is not very backward, people will of course choose to use the free stuff.

However, Lu Shaohua did not mention these things. His philosophy is to make Phoenix Antivirus software as good as possible and to improve it as soon as possible. Also, when the antivirus software is running, its CPU and memory usage should be reduced as much as possible to avoid jamming.

This is a development direction. The programmers of Phoenix Antivirus also nodded to show that they understood and assured Lu Shaohua that they would develop in this direction.

Lu Shaohua was of course happy to get the programmer's statement. In the last half of the two and a half days, Lu Shaohua also emphasized that Phoenix Antivirus Software should be compatible with Phoenix Operating System and strive to achieve the best.

Of course, this final requirement cannot reach 100%, but must reach 99%.

No one knows what Lu Shaohua meant by this, but Lu Shaohua is very clear-headed. He is thinking about the future of Phoenix Anti-Virus Software. One day in the future, 360 will appear and the anti-virus software market will disappear. Then, if Phoenix Anti-Virus Software is to continue to develop, it will have to work hard on the Phoenix operating system.

In China, more than 90 percent of users use Phoenix operating system, but Phoenix Antivirus Software has only compiled a Chinese version of the engine so far. In addition, Lu Shaohua does not plan to let the antivirus software enter the overseas market in the next few years. Therefore, the popularity of Phoenix Antivirus Software can only be increased by bundling it with Phoenix operating system.

At the same time, this is also an opportunity for Phoenix Anti-Virus to enter overseas markets. Don't forget that Phoenix operating system accounts for more than half of the global market share. As long as Phoenix Anti-Virus is bundled with Phoenix operating system, it will be a signal of entry.

Before that, Phoenix Antivirus Software had to be developed in multiple languages.

These are not problems. When the time comes, Lu Shaohua will naturally order someone to develop it. It will just be a matter of translating it and taking some time. There will be no technical problems.

With a plan in mind, Lu Shaohua did not say much. He just arranged the development direction for the near future and then left, leaving half a day for Phoenix Wealth Management Subsidiary.

Phoenix Financial Management had already had a development direction, and there was no need for Lu Shaohua to interfere. The only thing it lacked was experience in entering the market. On this point, Lu Shaohua gave the general manager a suggestion, asking him to cooperate well with Phoenix sales, and all problems would be solved.

Half a day passed quickly, in the blink of an eye. Lu Shaohua estimated that there were only four days left. Lu Shaohua planned to use these four days on the Phoenix Games subsidiary.

The online gaming industry is something Lu Shaohua is extremely familiar with. After all, he was a technical director of a large Internet cafe in his previous life. Many online games have gone through his hands. More importantly, Lu Shaohua has accounts for dozens or even hundreds of games and has played them. Lu Shaohua has a certain understanding of the settings and scenes in the games.

So, starting from the eleventh day, Lu Shaohua went straight into the office of Phoenix Games' subsidiary. He first summoned all the members of the Phoenix Games development team, and then went to collect materials.

It is understandable that Lu Shaohua resorted to plagiarism again, and the objects of plagiarism were the games "Westward Journey Online" and "Fantasy Westward Journey" launched by NetEase in its previous life. Both of these games are encounter-type games and were important contributors to NetEase's success. Lu Shaohua certainly would not miss them.

Many people were addicted to these two games at that time, and there was no age limit. Some were teenagers, and some were 45 years old. These two games were considered popular games, which is why NetEase was successful.

Lu Shaohua had also played these two games at that time. Relying on his memory, Lu Shaohua explained some of the designs in them, and then handed them over to the programmers below to write the game engine. This was considered the first step towards online games.

It is 1998 now, and the domestic game industry has not yet taken off. Lu Shaohua does not need to rush and should give Phoenix Games Company enough time. Of course, there is a time limit, and Lu Shaohua gave a timetable of more than a year.

In 2000, Lu Shaohua's requirement was that one of the two games, "Westward Journey Online" or "Westward Journey Online Fantasy", must be developed in 2000. No matter which one it was, as long as it was developed and launched on the market, it would be fine.

No one knows why Lu Shaohua chose to launch the game in 2000. But Lu Shaohua knew very well that after the release of "Legendary World", it was the starting period of the development of domestic online games, and it was the best time to launch the game.

There is no other way. The Legend World revived an emerging industry - Internet cafes. A large number of people began to learn how to use the Internet and then entered the game world. But those were games made by foreigners after all. For Chinese people, once domestically produced games appeared, they would naturally be more attractive.

At this point, the prototype of Phoenix Games had already appeared, and the next thing was the business philosophy. Regarding the business philosophy, Lu Shaohua only discussed it with a few senior executives, and finally decided to mainly charge by point cards and began planning the online game sector.

The rise of the domestic game industry started with a point card system, and later on it became free games and charged for props. This was the general trend, and Lu Shaohua had no choice. If he could control the point card system, Lu Shaohua would certainly be willing to do so, because point card games are more profitable.

"It's a pity...it's a pity..."

Lu Shaohua secretly shouted in his heart, but Lu Shaohua knew that shouting was useless. That was the trend of development and it was forced by the situation. Only by following the trend could he survive, otherwise he would be eliminated from the market competition one day.

Just like that, everything was settled, and at this time, the half-month period estimated by Lu Shaohua also arrived. It was just right, not a day more or less, just half a month, and it was also the twentieth day since Lu Shaohua came to Shenzhen from Hong Kong.

Yes, Lu Shaohua has been in Shenzhen for twenty days. During these twenty days, Lu Shaohua has thoroughly implemented his plan for building an Internet kingdom. It will only take a few years for him to become the dominant force in the country.

However, when the expected period ended, Lu Shaohua did not stop, but planned to make an ending, which was also the final end of his trip to Shenzhen. This ending was nothing else but the problem of network coverage.

One day, Lu Shaohua wanted to use a day to settle this issue and understand the current network coverage distribution of Phoenix Communications.

Look, on this day, Lu Shaohua came to the chairman's office early. As he had been notified a few days ago, when Lu Shaohua arrived at the office, there was already a folder on his desk, which contained all the files related to the establishment of Phoenix Communications Network.

When I translated the document, I saw densely packed words, all of which were names of cities in the country, from provincial-level cities to townships. There were even some that were currently under construction, which were also noted in the document, along with the expected date of completion.

Things are different now. Twenty days ago, Phoenix Communications' network construction project was in a semi-suspended state. Only some large cities were constructing it, and other places had stopped, all because of lack of funds.

But it is different now. Lu Shaohua has come with nearly 100 billion US dollars in funds. All the suspended projects have been put on the agenda and started again. In addition, with Zeng Jianguo's greeting, there is no resistance at all, and the construction speed is of course fast.

It took Lu Shaohua half a day to read the entire document. He rubbed his eyes and found that it was already noon. Lu Shaohua came to his senses, closed the folder, left the office and went out to eat.

After lunch, he returned to the office and took a short rest. When Lu Xiaoxian came to the group to work, Lu Shaohua called her over and asked her about the situation verbally.

The final result came out very quickly. Lu Shaohua was quite satisfied with what he learned from Lu Xiaoxian. Finally, he did not forget to ask a few questions about funds. For example, on the allocation of funds, Lu Shaohua asked Lu Xiaoxian if she had a plan.

Originally, there was no need to ask this kind of question, because today, Lu Xiaoxian is no longer the country sister she used to be. She is now a qualified executive president. Of course, she would plan things like fund allocation, otherwise she would not dare to start work.

It was another satisfactory answer, and Lu Shaohua finally put an end to the matter, completing the purpose of this trip. He spent the rest of the time visiting the Phoenix Building, visiting all the buildings that he had not visited that day.
