Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 930: The Lu Family Adds Another Talent

Yes, it is already the 21st century. If Lu Shaohua did not enter the oil industry, it would probably affect his ultimate plan. Fortunately, Lu Shaohua took over half of the Rockefeller Consortium's oil industry, which is a good start.

However, in the 21st century, not only oil is important, but there is another industry that is very important, and that industry is none other than the Internet industry. The 21st century is also known as the information age, and the Internet industry is the first representative of the information age.

Lu Shaohua started developing the Internet many years ago. Now, whether in Hong Kong or China, Internet providers are basically controlled by Lu Shaohua. Apart from the state-owned China Telecom, the only other provider in China is Phoenix Communications.

As for other things related to the Internet, Phoenix Group also has everything. After all, it is the instant messaging software used by the Internet. Phoenix Group also has Phoenix Tencent, the world's largest instant messaging platform. Phoenix Group also has online information, and there are more than one, there are two, namely Phoenix Tencent Information and Yahoo Information.

As for online games, there is no need to say more. Lu Shaohua started preparing for the development of online games as early as the same year. Now that so many years have passed and the game has not been officially launched, all the employees of Phoenix Online Games Company will be fired by Lu Shaohua.

As early as 1999, Phoenix Online Games officially launched a fairy-tale online game, which was well received by players and made Phoenix Online Games the first formalized online game company in China, as well as the most famous online game company.

Now two years have passed, and Phoenix Online Game Company has once again launched a new game. This game is based on the fantasy genre and has also achieved great success. It is operated simultaneously with the fairy-tale online games and has occupied nearly 80% of the online game market, making it the country's largest online game company.

Another thing related to the Internet is free email. Since Lu Shaohua acquired Yahoo, Yahoo Email has officially entered the domestic market and has been vigorously developed. For example, it now has tens of thousands of users and also occupies a vast majority of the market share.

As for search engines, there is only one company in China, which has 100% of the domestic market share and is the undisputed number one. Yes, it is 100% of the market share and is the undisputed number one.

In Lu Shaohua's previous life, no one could occupy 100% of the search engine market share in China. Even the powerful Baidu was occupied by Google with the same large share. However, Phoenix Search occupied 100% of the market share, which sounded like a joke.

But would Lu Shaohua be joking? The answer is obvious, Lu Shaohua would not.

That is 100% share. The reason for this is that Google has not entered the domestic market. The reason why Google has not entered the domestic market is that Lu Shaohua is the absolute controlling shareholder of Google Search.

It can be said that Google is completely controlled by Phoenix Group, but Phoenix Group does not participate in the management of Google's affairs. However, it cannot be denied that Google is a subsidiary of Phoenix Group in name only.

When Google was first established, it was impossible for Lu Shaohua to hold absolute controlling rights. However, an accident happened later, and Lu Shaohua never stopped buying Google shares. Over time, Lu Shaohua controlled more than 51% of Google's shares and became the de facto largest shareholder.

The major shareholder has told Google not to enter the Chinese market. Does Google have any objections?

No, because he is the boss. When the boss gives the order, the employees and shareholders can only stare blankly, feeling jealous of the huge Chinese market that they cannot enter.

It can be said that the Internet industry under Phoenix Group has entered a new stage, but Lu Shaohua still feels that it is not enough. Although some funding was allocated some time ago, the development speed is still a bit slow.

So, Lu Shaohua did not hesitate at all and immediately decided to go to Shenzhen in person to see what was going on with his own eyes.

It may take one or two hours for others to travel from Hong Kong to Shenzhen, and this time is spent on traveling and going through customs. However, for Lu Shaohua, it was not difficult at all. He could board the special plane directly and skip even the customs clearance process, and he went almost directly to his destination.

But even so, when Lu Shaohua arrived at the Phoenix Base, it was almost noon. He did not even bother to visit the Phoenix Base. He got in the car and headed towards the villa in a mighty manner.

Speaking of Lu Shaohua's villa in Shenzhen, it is much more luxurious than the villa in Hong Kong, but the area it occupies is a little small and cannot support the landing of an airplane outside the yard. This is different from the villa in Hong Kong.

However, when it comes to facilities and decoration, the villas in Hong Kong cannot be compared with those in Shenzhen. You should know that Lu Shaohua spent over 100 million yuan to build this villa. It was over 100 million yuan, and it was built a few years ago. At that time, building materials and other things were relatively cheap, but it still cost over 100 million yuan.

If it were now, the construction of this villa in Shenzhen would definitely cost more than 400 to 500 million RMB, which shows how luxurious it is.

However, since Lu Shaohua stayed in Hong Kong for many years and seldom came back to Shenzhen, no matter how luxurious this villa was, not many people lived in it. The people living there now were Lu Xiaoxian, Lu Shaohua's sister, and Weng Wende who occasionally came to live here. As for Lu Shaohua's third and fourth uncles, they had already started their own families and had their own properties, and they almost never came back to live here.

However, today's villa is different from usual. There is one more person in the villa today. This person is none other than Lu Shaohua's brother, Lu Shaopeng.

When talking about Lu Shaopeng, Lu Shaohua felt a little guilty. Thinking back to the time when Lu Shaopeng failed the high school entrance exam and had to repeat a year, it was Lu Shaohua's arrangement, but Lu Shaohua didn't care much about his future.

Of course, Lu Shaohua knew where Lu Shaopeng was going. After failing the college entrance exam, he repeated a year and was admitted to Jinzhong in Shantou Special Economic Zone, a relatively good school. After that, he studied in high school for three years and was admitted to Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou. After all, he was an undergraduate student in the end.

Now, considering the time, Lu Shaopeng has graduated from university. Lu Shaohua did not ask whether he would continue to study for a master's degree at the school or study for a master's degree while working. As the younger brother of a boss with a net worth of over one trillion US dollars, how could Lu Shaohua not feel ashamed?

They just happened to meet today, Lu Shaohua drove away all the distracting thoughts in his mind, and planned to have a good talk with Lu Shaopeng, his only brother, to see what he thought, so that Lu Shaohua could make corresponding arrangements.

However, this was obviously not possible now, because Lu Shaohua and his group had not eaten yet, including Lu Shaopeng, who had not eaten either. So, Lu Shaohua did not say much, and took Lu Shaopeng with him, and the group walked towards Weng Wende's restaurant.

Lu Shaohua hasn't been to Weng Wende's restaurant for a long time, which is quite a few years. Weng Wende's wealth is no longer what it used to be. A restaurant is not something he is interested in, so he handed it over to his father, Weng Fuming, whom Lu Shaohua calls uncle.

After entering the restaurant, Lu Shaohua naturally had to greet the elders and be cordial with them, and then go to the private room and wait for the food to be served.

Taking advantage of the free time when the dishes were being served, Lu Shaohua did not hide anything and asked Lu Shaopeng, "Brother, you have graduated from university, right? What are your plans?"

Lu Shaohua's tone is very special, as if he is the elder brother and Lu Shaopeng is the younger brother. But in the Lu family, this is nothing unusual. Lu Shaohua is the person in charge of the Lu family. In addition, he has been in a high position for many years, so it is natural for his spoken language to change.

Lu Shaopeng was obviously used to Lu Shaohua talking to him in this tone. After thinking for a while, he said, "I have graduated from college after three years, but I still want to continue my postgraduate studies. I just haven't decided whether to study on campus or outside."

"Hmm!" Lu Shaohua smiled faintly and then asked, "So which side do you prefer?"

"I want to study abroad so that I can adapt to society first." Lu Shaopeng expressed his plan.

But Lu Shaopeng only stated his plan. After that, Lu Shaopeng looked at his only younger brother with expectant eyes, wanting to hear Lu Shaohua's advice.

It’s not that Lu Shaopeng has no opinions of his own, but that Lu Shaohua is simply too successful, so successful that it cannot be replicated, and his experience can even be described as legendary. The opinions given by such a person will definitely be the best choice.

At least in Lu Shaopeng's opinion, the advice Lu Shaohua gave him would definitely not be bad and would be helpful to his future.

"I also think it's better to work and study part-time." Lu Shaohua gave his opinion directly, and then added, "Society changes very quickly. If you stay in school all day, you won't be able to see the changes in society. Therefore, going out into society and venturing out will definitely be beneficial and have no harm."

Lu Shaohua didn't know about other places, but in Guangdong and even in the whole country, changes were very fast. If you stay on campus all day, you might be eliminated by this society. Therefore, Lu Shaohua's suggestion was to work part-time and study part-time.

"Well, then let's work and study part-time." Lu Shaopeng accepted Lu Shaohua's suggestion.

"..." Lu Shaohua didn't rush to speak, he smiled, and said after a while, "Just go to the group to help. You're a computer major, so go to Phoenix Software Group, it's related to your major."

When Lu Shaopeng was in college, he chose computer science as his major, and Lu Shaohua agreed. As for why Lu Shaohua agreed, there is no need to explain the reason. Computer science will definitely be a popular major in the future. In addition, Phoenix Group has entered this field. When Lu Shaopeng graduates in the future, he can come to work in Phoenix Group without worrying about not being able to find a suitable major.

After a few seconds of pause, Lu Shaohua continued, "When you study for a master's degree, you can choose to take more elective majors, such as business administration. This major will not be lost if you study it."

Lu Shaohua's brother is a man of great rank. Lu Shaohua cannot bear to let him stay in the laboratory as an ordinary researcher for his whole life. He should learn business administration and know how to manage a company so that he can stand on his own.

Lu Shaopeng obviously knew what Lu Shaohua meant, so he didn't say much and just nodded to make it clear.
