Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 516: Setting up the Network

The reform of Phoenix Yingke has been basically completed, and the next things have become much simpler. Together with Phoenix Communications, Lu Shaohua can be said to be doing both wired and wireless, gaining a foothold in the communications industry and quickly spreading out. It won't take too long before Lu Shaohua is given the title of communications tycoon.

That’s right, in Hong Kong, there are more than one company like Phoenix Pacific in the wired communications industry, but there is only one company, Phoenix Communications, in the wireless communications industry. Coupled with the influence of Phoenix Group in Hong Kong, there is no problem in becoming stronger and bigger. It is only a matter of time before Lu Shaohua becomes a communications tycoon.

However, even so, Lu Shaohua has some regrets, that is the domestic side, the domestic side is a big market, but so far, Lu Shaohua is only in charge of wireless communications. As for wired communications, it has been occupied by China Telecom, which is a state-owned enterprise, and Lu Shaohua cannot intervene.

Unable to intervene, Lu Shaohua had no choice but to give up, take a longer-term view, combine his own memory, and fully explore the communication industry's core competencies to make Phoenix Group's foothold in the communication industry more stable.

Communication was very simple for the communications industry in the 1990s. It was just making phone calls, but what happened after the call?

Internet, this is Lu Shaohua’s answer.

As for the Internet, Lu Shaohua plans to build a network, including the domestic one. Lu Shaohua wants to build the network quickly to get ahead of China Telecom and gain market advantage.

Do it as soon as you think of it. This is Lu Shaohua's principle of doing things. Two months after Phoenix Communications was officially launched in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, Lu Shaohua officially launched his follow-up plan to build networks across the country.

But then again, the money Lu Shaohua earned in Mexico was only over 80 billion US dollars. Apart from giving some to Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen, Lu Shaohua now has very little money left. It is not easy to set up a network across the country.

Money, as a person, all you need is money. Fortunately, Phoenix Communications in China is very popular, and the call charges are relatively expensive, so the profit is quite high. After two months, nearly 500 million yuan has been accumulated, which is a lot of money.

Lu Shaohua didn't think highly of 500 million RMB, but when necessary, the role that these 500 million RMB could play could not be underestimated. At least there would be no problem in setting up a network in Shenzhen by spending 500 million RMB.

So, Lu Shaohua went back to Shenzhen and started to build the network. Funds were limited at present, so he went one city at a time, first Shenzhen, then Guangzhou, and then Beijing, Shanghai and other places. Anyway, Lu Shaohua built the networks in the more developed cities first, and the funds were provided by Phoenix Communications. Except for necessary expenses, all other funds were invested in it, forming a self-sufficient cycle.

China's territory is the third largest in the world. This is not an exaggeration. It is so huge that if Lu Shaohua wants to build a network all over the country, it will be a huge project. It is impossible to complete it in one or two years.

Lu Shaohua was also mentally prepared for this. He said that if one year didn't work, then two years would work, and if two years didn't work, then four years would work, and if four years didn't work, then eight years would work, and so on until one day everything was completed.

The thing Lu Shaohua has the most is time. He has plenty of it and can afford to waste it. Anyway, it is still a long way for the Internet to become popular. He doesn't need to rush. He still has plenty of time.

The construction of the Internet in China has entered a white-hot stage, but it is different in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is relatively developed both economically and in other aspects, and the popularization of the Internet should be much faster than in China. Fortunately, Hong Kong is not a big city, so it does not take too long to build a network.

But does Lu Shaohua still need to set up a network in Hong Kong?

The answer is obvious, he doesn't use it, and even if he does, it's only a small part.

Why do I say that? This has to do with Phoenix Yingke. Phoenix Yingke's predecessor, Yingke, was engaged in wired business. The wires it pulled up can be used to indirectly form a network. This is why Lu Shaohua wants to control Phoenix Yingke.

"Look three steps ahead before you take one step" was originally a phrase used in chess, but it is more suitable to describe Lu Shaohua now. He always looks three steps ahead before he takes one step. The acquisition of Phoenix Yingke is a living example.

……

Networks were being set up in both places, and Lu Shaohua was busy for a while. When the construction started, Lu Shaohua became free and stayed in his villa in Shenzhen all day, leading a leisurely life. Occasionally, he would go shopping with Zeng Yuling and Chiyoko Andeng, and do what he usually did with Zeng Yuling. He lived a very happy life.

But Lu Shaohua still had a little regret, that was Chiyoko Andeng. Looking at this quirky and occasionally seductive little beauty, Lu Shaohua could only wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth and wait for the opportunity to eat her.

However, God always likes to play tricks on Lu Shaohua. No matter how hard Lu Shaohua looks for an opportunity, he never gets the chance to do it, because Zeng Yuling is watching him very closely. When An Teng Chiyo is there, Zeng Yuling is definitely there, but when Zeng Yuling is there, An Teng Chiyo may not be there. This makes it impossible for Lu Shaohua to do anything and he can only stare blankly.

After a whole month, Lu Shaohua returned to Hong Kong with regret. This return to Hong Kong was not for no reason, but Lu Shaohua planned to go to Africa.

Yes, Lu Shaohua planned to go to Africa again. Thinking about the many unpleasant experiences he encountered during his last trip to Africa, Lu Shaohua did not give up on going there again. After all, Lu Shaohua's ultimate goal in life was being carried out there, so how could he not go?

The oil project is Lu Shaohua's ultimate goal in life. Although there will be reports in the form of documents every once in a while, Lu Shaohua always feels so empty when looking at the papers full of words. He can never feel at ease unless he sees them with his own eyes.

Times are different now. It is not an exaggeration to use this sentence to describe Lu Shaohua at this moment. In the past, Lu Shaohua needed to take a plane to go to the Huxiao Base, but now it is different. Lu Shaohua has his own private plane. When he wants to go, he only needs to apply for a route and he can go there on his own private plane.

It was just that Lu Shaohua's decision to go to Africa was temporary, and applying for a flight route took some time. Up to now, the application had not been formally approved. After returning to Hong Kong, Lu Shaohua could only wait patiently.

Time passed day by day, and soon, half a month had passed. Half a month had also passed since the route application, and it was still being processed and had not been officially approved, which almost made Lu Shaohua lose his patience.

"Oh! If I had known earlier, I would have applied earlier and wouldn't have to waste time." Lu Shaohua muttered softly.

There was no way. Lu Shaohua's decision was too sudden, so I had to wait like this. However, Lu Shaohua didn't stay in the villa all day doing nothing. Just as Lu Shaohua finished muttering, the phone in his villa rang.

The person who called him was none other than the leader of the famous Sun Yee On gang in Hong Kong - Heung Wah Keung, who is also the president of China Star Motion Picture Company.

Speaking of Xiang Huaqiang, Lu Shaohua hadn't seen him for a long time, nearly two years. The last time he saw Xiang Huaqiang was when Xiang Huaqiang wanted to buy a Phoenix bulletproof car, and Lu Shaohua gave him his own car first. This time Xiang Huaqiang called him for nothing else, just to ask him to go out for a drink.

Drinking is nothing to Lu Shaohua. He has never tried drinking in bars or other entertainment places. No! It should be said that he has not tried it in this life. In his previous life, Lu Shaohua went to the bar so many times that he couldn't even count them.

Lu Shaohua certainly wouldn't mind if someone invited him to drink. What's more, Xiang Huaqiang wouldn't invite him to drink for no reason. He must have called him for something. As a fellow villager and a very good friend, Lu Shaohua of course had to go.

Without saying much, he took Li Shangkui and the others, got in the car and slowly drove towards the destination according to the location provided by Xiang Huaqiang.

The Kowloon area is not big, and Xiang Huaqiang is not far from Lu Shaohua's residence. Not long after, Lu Shaohua arrived at the bar. The convoy of ten cars was very grand. It was obvious that a big shot had arrived.

Sun Yee On is a black gang, whose main business is entertainment. Of course, they have bars in Kowloon. When Lu Shaohua arrived, someone was already waiting at the door of the bar. The person waiting for Lu Shaohua was none other than the man called "Brother Scar". He knew Lu Shaohua, and when he saw Lu Shaohua get off the car, he immediately came up to lead the way for Lu Shaohua.

As it was still early, just after eight o'clock in the evening, there were not many people in the bar. When Lu Shaohua and his friends walked into the bar, there were only a few people there. They didn't have to squeeze with others and could just walk in directly.

However, in order to meet Xiang Huaqiang, Lu Shaohua could not bring all the thirty bodyguards around him with him. After entering the bar, Lu Shaohua asked Scar to open a private room for him and let some people go to the room to drink. He only took Li Shangkui, He Qiang, Yang Yang, and Li Wusheng with him.

He entered the box where Xiang Huaqiang was and sat down next to him. Then he instructs Li Shangkui and the others to sit down as well. Lu Shaohua then found an empty glass, poured a glass of wine, and toasted Xiang Huaqiang as a punishment for being late.

"Three cups of lateness." Just when Lu Shaohua was about to put down his glass, Xiang Huaqiang spoke with an honest smile on his face, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"..." Lu Shaohua was speechless for a while, but he didn't care if he was fined for his slowness. He poured the wine and drank two glasses in a row before putting the glass back and said with a smile, "Is this okay now?"

"Ha ha!"

Xiang Huaqiang laughed, gave a thumbs up and said, "Generous."

After that, Xiang Huaqiang poured another glass for Lu Shaohua, and filled his own empty glass as well, then raised his glass again and drank. "Come on, let me toast you."

"Okay." Lu Shaohua smiled, clinked glasses with Xiang Huaqiang, and drank the wine in one gulp. After four glasses in a row, the beginning was finally over. Lu Shaohua knew it was time to get down to business, so he asked. "Uncle Xiang didn't ask me to come here just to drink today. If you have anything to say, just tell me. You don't need to be polite to me."

"Okay, I like it this way." Xiang Huaqiang patted Lu Shaohua on the shoulder, smiled, and then poured himself another glass of wine and drank it. He was very annoyed and didn't get to the point for a long time...
