Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 834: Desire to Dominate

Lu Shaohua's character dictates that he always plans before he acts. He will not do meaningless things. Sometimes he likes to kill two birds with one stone, achieving two or more goals at once, like setting up an accounting center this time. On the surface, it seems to be to monitor the accounts and financial situation of overseas branches, but who knows that Lu Shaohua actually has other purposes.

If the purpose was to monitor the accounts and financial situation of an overseas branch, Lu Shaohua would not have to mobilize so many people to do so much. He could just check the accounts and then activate the secret sentries hidden in the overseas branch, and cooperate with Li Zhijie's intelligence to conduct an investigation, and he would definitely be able to get the whole picture clearly.

But Lu Shaohua chose to mobilize a large number of troops, which seemed to be a long-term plan. But in fact, Lu Shaohua wanted to clean up the cancer in the overseas branches. Well, I have to emphasize that it means to clean up completely, not just individually.

Of course, Lu Shaohua also did this for the long term. So, Lu Shaohua set up such a new department and invited his father-in-law to come out of retirement. In fact, he did it with two purposes: to monitor the accounts and financial status, and to clear out the cancer within the company.

As for why he had to clean it up? Lu Shaohua certainly had a special purpose.

That’s right, Lu Shaohua did all this with a special purpose.

I still remember that when Lu Shaohua just came back from Africa, he specially summoned Liu Mingzhang and three other giants of Phoenix Financial to a meeting. The content of the meeting was very simple, which was to acquire several companies in the Internet industry.

Now, more than half a month has passed, and Liu Mingzhang and his team have already completed the acquisition. Among them, 85% of the Alibaba website was acquired by Lu Shaohua, and the founder Jack Ma only held 15% of the shares. As for Yahoo, there is no need to mention Lu Shaohua personally went to the United States and signed a 51% stake at that time.

But then again, Lu Shaohua had promised Jerry Yang and the other two founders that he would return a portion of the shares within three months, bringing their shareholding to 20%. Now that more than half a month has passed, how could Lu Shaohua not take action?

Lu Shaohua was an impatient person, and Yahoo was very important to him, so when he came back from the United States, he had already ordered people from Phoenix Group to take over Yahoo first, and then further acquire the shares of those shareholders.

Americans value money more than their life. This is Lu Shaohua's new experience. According to the report sent back from the United States, those small shareholders all want to sell their shares, but they keep begging and the answer is just one word: money.

Yes, bargaining, both sides were trying hard to determine the price. The small shareholders wanted to get more money, while Phoenix Group wanted to pay less. As a result, the two sides were deadlocked, one side raised the price, and the other side lowered the price.

However, just over half a month had passed, and it was still a long way from the three-month deadline agreed upon by Lu Shaohua and Yang Zhiyuan. Lu Shaohua had plenty of time and was not in a hurry, so he did not ask them to speed up.

However, even so, Lu Shaohua was 20% confident that he could drive all shareholders out of Yahoo within three months, leaving the two founders with 51% of the shares, while he himself would hold 9% and put the remaining % on the market.

This is what Lu Shaohua envisioned, and at the same time, he was 100% sure that he could complete the idea. Well, it can be said that Yahoo already belongs to Lu Shaohua, and he doesn't have to worry about any accidents at all.

In this way, Lu Shaohua’s first step of the plan was finally completed, but it was only the first step. What about the second and third steps?

In addition to the Internet, Lu Shaohua wants to develop and expand all industries that Phoenix Group is involved in. No matter it is automobiles, computers, or Phoenix Electronics, Lu Shaohua wants to develop it into a company that dares to claim to be second and no one dares to claim to be first.

With ambitions in his heart, Lu Shaohua naturally did not want to procrastinate, because in the next few years, Lu Shaohua had plenty of time, and he could use this time to do these things. This was why Lu Shaohua chose to put the plan on the agenda at this time.

Now, Qin Sichen is back from vacation, Qin Lei has taken over the accounting center directly under the Phoenix Group, has gained a firm foothold, and has played a role. He has been sharpening his knife and has hurt many people. Now that the cancer has been cleared, how can Lu Shaohua not take action?

Lu Shaohua wants to develop the industries involved in Phoenix Group. This is within Lu Shaohua's plan. But don't forget that the industries involved in Phoenix Group are diverse, and every product is exported abroad, occupying a certain proportion in the international market.

Now that Lu Shaohua is going to fully enter the international market, those overseas branches will inevitably play a big role. Funds and data in all aspects will increase as Lu Shaohua increases his efforts.

If Lu Shaohua did not clean up the internal cancer, the money that was hacked and swallowed up might be even greater.

This is the core reason why Lu Shaohua cleaned up the internal affairs of the overseas branch. In order to avoid trouble in the future, Lu Shaohua had to clear all obstacles before launching his plan.

Okay, everything is ready, except for the east wind.

This is Lu Shaohua's current situation, and this east wind is nothing else but an order from Lu Shaohua. As long as Lu Shaohua gives an order, his plan will be fully launched.

But before that, Lu Shaohua still has a lot of issues to consider, such as which industry to start first?

This is a headache. Of course, Lu Shaohua could also ignore it and directly issue an order, ordering his subordinates to fully implement the plan without any order of priority.

However, Lu Shaohua knew very well that he had to participate in this plan. If everything was launched at once, even if he had ten heads, they would not be enough. It would probably be even busier than the work he did when he replaced Qin Sichen some time ago.

With no other choice, Lu Shaohua could only take it slowly, one step at a time, slowly and steadily.

"Which industry should I start first?"

This question has been circling in Lu Shaohua's mind, and he has not answered it for a long time.

Finally, after much deliberation, Lu Shaohua decided to put network-related aspects first, such as the two major industries of Phoenix Computer and Phoenix Operating System.

Phoenix Computer and Phoenix Operating System, the two major industries, have occupied an absolute share in the international market. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the well-deserved number one. However, Lu Shaohua feels that this is not enough. The international market is such a big pie that there is still a large share that has not been tapped.

More importantly, Lu Shaohua would cut off Apple, Dell, and IBM. These three companies mainly deal in computers and are competitors of Phoenix Computer. Apple even has its own operating system, which is also a competitor of Phoenix's operating system.

Apple, this is Lu Shaohua’s first target.

Lu Shaohua, who was reborn, knew that when the 21st century came and computers became popular, Apple's operating system was no longer seen. However, in this era, Apple's operating system still occupied a certain market share.

Since Apple's operating system will disappear from the market over time, can't Lu Shaohua speed up the time of their disappearance? Can't he bring it forward?

Yes, what Lu Shaohua wanted to do was to eliminate Apple's operating system market in advance and take it for himself. Anyway, there was still Microsoft, so Lu Shaohua was not afraid of anyone suing Phoenix for operating system monopoly.

Microsoft is destined to exist because Lu Shaohua is afraid of the monopoly fee of up to 20 billion US dollars. However, it does not mean that Lu Shaohua will let Microsoft grow and become stronger. After taking care of Apple's operating system, Lu Shaohua's next step is to squeeze Microsoft's operating system share.

As for the computer industry, Phoenix Computer is strong enough and occupies a large share. Well, according to statistics, 50% of the global market share belongs to Phoenix Computer, that is to say, half of the global market share belongs to Phoenix Computer, and the remaining half is divided among other brands.

On the surface, half of the share is already enough, but Lu Shaohua is not satisfied. He wants not only 50% but also more than 70% to become the undisputed overlord.

Of course, all this is just Lu Shaohua's plan. So far, it is just a fantasy and no action has been taken. If he wants to achieve the set goals, he still has a long way to go.

Lu Shaohua has plenty of time and he can afford to waste it. The most important issue right now is funding. After all, opening up the market and expanding market share is not a matter of just a few words. It requires investment, especially advertising, which is an important link and burns money the fastest.

Also, all of this was just Lu Shaohua's idea. Lu Shaohua didn't tell anyone else, including Qin Sichen. Lu Shaohua never said a word about it. Now that the plan is about to start, Lu Shaohua can't hide it from Qin Sichen.

Who is Qin Sichen? She is not a vase-like woman. She is a strong woman in the business world, the iron lady of Phoenix Group, and is very good at business. Lu Shaohua now has a plan, but sometimes there are bound to be mistakes. If Qin Sichen is used for reference, Lu Shaohua believes that the plan will be much more perfect.

Both funding and references are inseparable from Qin Sichen.

So, in the early stage of implementing the plan, Lu Shaohua planned to confront Qin Sichen, tell Qin Sichen the plan, and then let him refer to it to see if there are any loopholes or suggestions.

There is another issue, which is the funding issue. Whether there is a problem with Phoenix Group’s funding chain and whether it can support Lu Shaohua’s plan is also a problem.

Although Qin Sichen was not in charge of finance, she knew the financial situation of Phoenix Group very well. Moreover, she was the decision maker of Phoenix Group, and she knew exactly where Phoenix Group would need money. If Lu Shaohua rashly launched the plan, and Qin Sichen did not have any problems, and Phoenix Group happened to need money in some aspect, then Phoenix Group's capital chain might have problems.

Fortunately, when Lu Shaohua asked, Qin Sichen immediately stated that there was no problem with the Phoenix Group's capital chain and Lu Shaohua could implement his plan.

"So what do you think of my plan?" Lu Shaohua asked.
