Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 602: The Road Ahead

It is only a matter of time to slowly recover. Lu Shaohua has always believed this, and it is indeed the case. But then again, Lu Shaohua still cannot judge whether this incident is a blessing or a curse for Phoenix Group.

If you want to say it is a blessing, it has been developing steadily for so many years, but suddenly such a change happened. This is what Lu Shaohua does not want to see. After all, less trouble is worse than more trouble. If it can develop steadily and maintain the original momentum, it may not be a bad thing for Phoenix Group.

The incident not only damaged the reputation of Phoenix Group, but also delayed its development time. Even if it could quickly regain the original market share, it would still delay the time. Moreover, in the meantime, Phoenix Group also suffered losses, which can be said to be a waste of time and money.

Lu Shaohua didn't want to see this kind of thing. Qin Sichen, as Lu Shaohua's woman, didn't want to see it either. From Qin Sichen's face now, it can be seen that Qin Sichen is very tired, which is entirely caused by the mental breakdown.

However, in other words, while suffering from the disaster, Phoenix Group also gained a lot of benefits.

The first benefit is that some employees who cannot share weal and woe with Phoenix Group have been driven away. This is what Lu Shaohua is very willing to see. With the development of the times, talents emerge one after another. Now Lu Shaohua is no longer afraid of not being able to recruit talents. As for those who cannot share weal and woe with Phoenix Group, Lu Shaohua does not want them even if they are top talents.

Loyalty is what Lu Shaohua loves most, and ability is what Lu Shaohua likes most. If the two are combined, loyalty plus ability, then it will be a perfect person. After this incident, Lu Shaohua finally saw the true face of some employees, and drove away dozens of people who were not loyal to Phoenix Group. It was an unexpected gain.

However, Lu Shaohua is very clear that among the talents still staying in Phoenix Group, there are some people who are disloyal to Phoenix Group. But those people did not leave this time, which proves that they still have a sense of belonging to Phoenix Group. With the future development of Phoenix Group and without any crisis, their sense of belonging will deepen, and they will become loyal people!

Loyalty can be cultivated, Lu Shaohua knows this, but the cultivation should also be targeted at people. For example, Lu Shaohua can't say much good things about those "fence-sitters" who have left Phoenix Group. It would be safer to recruit new people instead of cultivating them.

In addition, it is about market share. In this regard, Phoenix Group has also benefited greatly. In the past, Phoenix Group occupied a large share, but that was already the limit. Phoenix Group could no longer expand its market share.

Some people may ask, why can't we expand our market share?

Are Phoenix Group's products uncompetitive? No, the saying that all Phoenix Group's products are high-quality has become well-known internationally and has become a law and an unchangeable fact, but why can't the market share be expanded?

The reason is very simple, that is, some consumers cannot afford the products produced by Phoenix Group, such as Phoenix computers. The models produced by Phoenix computers are all high-configuration and excellent quality products, which make them high-end products, and the pricing of high-end products will naturally be high.

There is another reason, which is that there are too many people and too little porridge. It is impossible for a product to be monopolized, and it should not be monopolized, so competitors will naturally exist. If competitors do not occupy a certain market share, they will go bankrupt directly.

But it was because competitors occupied a certain market share that Phoenix Group could not expand its share. What about now? All the enemies of Phoenix Group were defeated by Lu Shaohua. They had no intention or ability to compete with Phoenix Group in the market. Phoenix Group pressed on everywhere, and it became inevitable that it would grab some market share.

This is the benefit, the benefit of making Phoenix Group stronger. It has broken through the bottleneck and taken an important step, making Phoenix Group even stronger. This is a blessing for Phoenix Group!

Therefore, Lu Shaohua could no longer tell whether it was a blessing or a curse. If it was a blessing, then the Phoenix Group suffered losses, which made Lu Shaohua very sad. But if it was a curse, the Phoenix Group expanded its market share and broke through the bottleneck, which made Lu Shaohua very happy and he said it was a blessing for the Phoenix Group.

Finally, Lu Shaohua gave an evaluation of this incident, that is, blessing and disaster are interdependent and coexist. If we have to break it down, blessing prevails and is greater than disaster.

But then again, being able to expand market share now is just like snatching food from other people's mouths. Although Phoenix Group has the ability to keep the market share it has regained, it will eventually reach a higher level of bottleneck. If Phoenix Group wants to continue to grow and develop, it has to come up with ideas in other areas.

What are your plans in this regard?

This is a problem that Lu Shaohua must face, because Lu Shaohua wants Phoenix Group to continue to grow and become a true behemoth. Expanding market share is a necessary step. In other words, Phoenix Group must continue to break through bottlenecks in order to move forward courageously.

The key to breaking through the bottleneck lies in the consumer groups, which is the aspect that Lu Shaohua needs to target. The products produced by Phoenix Group are currently high-end or partially mid-to-high-end products, and many consumer groups cannot afford them. If you want to continue to break through the bottleneck, you have to satisfy all consumer groups.

Then, the production of low-end or mid-end products should be done. In the past, when Phoenix Group was just starting out, Lu Shaohua planned to take the high-end route. Until now, Phoenix Group is still taking the high-end route and has not changed.

The situation is different now. The reason why the route was not changed before was because Phoenix Group was not strong enough. Now that Phoenix Group has grown to a certain extent and has sufficient strength, it is no longer a problem to take the low-end route. Although it is a bit difficult, how can a group that cannot overcome difficulties survive?

"High, medium, and low, three routes to take together..."

At this moment, Lu Shaohua had made up his mind, but Lu Shaohua had his own considerations. He believed that the timing was not yet ripe, and even if he wanted to participate in the competition for low-end products, he needed to choose a good time.

Yes, having just won a victory, it is unwise to suddenly start to attack the low-end product market, because before that, necessary preparations should be made. Moreover, 97 is about to come and the Asian financial crisis is approaching. The market downturn is inevitable. A hasty entry will only lead Phoenix Group to run into obstacles everywhere.

"After the financial crisis." Lu Shaohua thought secretly in his heart.

However, before that, necessary preparations can be carried out, such as market surveys and the production of low-end products. Coincidentally, the market was sluggish after the Asian financial crisis, and the Phoenix Base was in a sluggish period. This period of time can be used to produce low-end products, providing a good opportunity to enter the market after the market recovers in the future.

Kill two birds with one stone. This is definitely a matter of killing two birds with one stone. First, the preparatory work was done silently, and in the meantime, the Phoenix Base was kept in a state of suspension. In other words, the Phoenix Base could survive the Asian financial crisis safely without laying off any employees.

With a plan in mind, Lu Shaohua threw all his thoughts into it. The first thing he did was to write a plan. The name of this plan was very eye-catching, it was called "The Road to the Future". Yes, the plan written by Lu Shaohua was the future path for the development of Phoenix Group!

After three days of hard work, Lu Shaohua finally came up with the "Road to the Future" plan. He then handed the plan to Qin Sichen and asked her to take a look at it and make any revisions if necessary.

Unfortunately, when Lu Shaohua gave the plan to Qin Sichen, Qin Sichen happened to have something to report to Lu Shaohua, which was about market share.

Seeing the word "happy" written on Qin Sichen's face, Lu Shaohua could already guess the answer with a good accuracy. He did not let Qin Sichen report, but interrupted her and asked, "Have the three computer suppliers in the United States launched new computers?"

"Oh!" Qin Sichen was a little slow to react, and was stunned for a moment. Then he thought about it and said, "I haven't heard of such news."

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua laughed, his face full of satisfaction, he was very happy.

What does this mean? It means that the three companies have suffered a loss and cannot speak out. They are powerless and can only watch Phoenix Group buy high-configuration computers, while their so-called high-configuration computers can only lie quietly in the warehouse.

"What's wrong?" Qin Sichen asked blankly.

"It's okay." Lu Shaohua smiled and didn't say anything to Qin Sichen. He changed the subject and said, "You don't have to report. You just need to know everything. The most important thing now is to look at the plan, improve it, and then start to implement it."

Why would Lu Shaohua, who already knew the general results, go to listen to Qin Sichen's report? It would be a waste of time.

"..." Qin Sichen had nothing else to say but to smile bitterly and nodded. "I'll take a serious look at the plan.

"Ah."

……

The product share of Phoenix Group has become a foregone conclusion. Phoenix Group has won this battle, but that is only for Phoenix Automobile, Phoenix Operating System, and Phoenix Computer. It is not known how the newly launched products of Phoenix Group will perform.

Now, Lu Shaohua is very eager to know how this new product turns out, but unfortunately, the outcome of this new product is not in the hands of Qin Sichen, but in the hands of Ma Huateng, the founder of QQ.

That’s right, the new product that Lu Shaohua was eager to know was QQ. It has been a while since it was launched, and the results, whether good or bad, should have come out.
