Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 704 Software

It is true that computers are high-tech products. They will also be a good helper for entertainment, leisure, and office work in the future. As a reborn person, Lu Shaohua naturally knows this. And according to the current situation, Phoenix Computer has already made a name for itself and has become a well-known brand, which makes Lu Shaohua very satisfied.

However, what would happen if one became too complacent? Lu Shaohua was also very clear that if he did not strive for progress and make more efforts to manage the Phoenix Computer brand well, the result would be the collapse of the entire high-rise building.

If the Phoenix Computer brand is to survive, the only thing it can do is to continue researching and improving the performance of Phoenix Computer. How to improve the performance? There is only one answer, that is to research new technologies, break through ourselves, and make the hardware in Phoenix Computer more powerful.

There is another more important point, that is quality. We must strictly control the quality. Once there is a quality problem, a customer buys a Phoenix computer, but finds that the computer has problems after just a few days of use. Then the Phoenix Group’s reputation of "high-quality products" will be destroyed.

In the end, there are two requirements. One is to ensure the quality. Lu Shaohua can rest assured about this. Chu Lei knows how to do it without his instructions. The second requirement is to increase the intensity of research and strive to develop a new generation of hardware as soon as possible.

Lu Shaohua stood downstairs in a daze for a while, then he spoke directly. "I didn't want to say more, but I have to. As for Phoenix Computer, it's still the same as before. We need to continue researching and strive to develop a newer generation of hardware. Well, if necessary, there is no problem with increasing investment. If there is a problem with funds, we can mobilize more from Hong Kong."

Continuous research is an old topic. Lu Shaohua has been emphasizing this matter since the day when the Phoenix Computer Production Base was laid. However, when he saw that Chu Lei was a little too confident, Lu Shaohua still wanted to pour cold water on him.

Arrogant soldiers will be defeated, this sentence is from ancient books and has been confirmed by history. Lu Shaohua doesn't want to see Chu Lei, the top general, relax at all, thinking that he can relax now that Phoenix Computer has a prominent position.

Why Phoenix Computer has the status it has today? It is because Phoenix Computer is always one step ahead of others. When others are selling computers with one configuration, Phoenix Computer can always come up with computers with a higher configuration than others. This is how it has the status it has today.

According to the memories of Lu Shaohua's previous life, with the development of the times, computers gradually became popular. By that time, computers were updated and replaced so quickly that a computer with a certain configuration would remain on the market for less than half a year before a computer with a higher configuration would appear. The pace of using computers to move towards high configurations was accelerated.

Lu Shaohua would not make such a low-level mistake, nor would he allow his subordinates to make it, especially Chu Lei, the person in charge of the Phoenix Base. Lu Shaohua did not want to see him make a mistake, so he spoke out to remind him.

No matter what, as the owner of Phoenix Group, Lu Shaohua cannot impose this responsibility on others. But don't look at Lu Shaohua's real situation. How can he stay in the Phoenix base to supervise all the time!

Since it is impossible to supervise all the time, Lu Shaohua can only push the responsibility to the supervisor Chu Lei, and let him take charge and let the computer business that occupies a large proportion of Lu Shaohua's heart shine.

What does Lu Shaohua mean by this?

Chu Lei is not a fool. At this time, although Lu Shaohua brought up a topic that couldn't be any older, it was nothing more than asking Chu Lei to take it seriously. Thinking back to his own expression and his true inner thoughts, Chu Lei couldn't help but sweat.

Chu Lei was underestimating it and was overconfident. If Lu Shaohua hadn't reminded him, Chu Lei would have really forgotten the topic that Lu Shaohua always emphasized. He thought that Phoenix Computer now occupies an absolute position and can remain unchanged for fifty years.

With Lu Shaohua's reminder, Chu Lei realized that the situation was far from that simple. Your research and development speed is fast, but others are not slow either. Once you relax and they concentrate on tackling key problems, they will catch up and may even surpass you.

If that happens, what will be the final result?

Chu Lei couldn't imagine what the situation would be like, but one thing was certain, that is, when that time really came, Phoenix Computer's advantages would be gone. It would be standing on the same starting line with others and competing with each other, and it might even be surpassed by others, leaving Phoenix Computer far behind and becoming a second-rate brand, and finally might even gradually fade out of the market.

Thinking of this, Chu Lei ignored his chaotic thoughts, firmed his expression, and said solemnly, "Don't worry, I will run the Phoenix Computer Production Base well."

At this time, Chu Lei had already come to his senses and knew what to do next. He did not need Lu Shaohua to remind him at all. The only answer he could give to Lu Shaohua was a solemn promise, which was also to correct his mentality.

Lu Shaohua was very happy that Chu Lei could clearly understand himself. He smiled, patted Chu Lei on the shoulder, gave him an encouraging look, said nothing, turned around, walked a few steps, got in the car, and quietly left the Phoenix Base.

The inspection was over, and the task that Lu Shaohua had set for himself was declared completed at this moment. Lu Shaohua, sitting in the car, was more or less tired. After all, he had been to so many places and walked so much distance, so it was normal to feel tired.

However, Lu Shaohua knew that it was impossible for him to idle away. It was not that he was unwilling to idle away, but that he could not and would not be able to idle away.

Lu Shaohua came to Shenzhen this time with a huge plan. Now that the inspection of the Phoenix Base must be completed, the huge plan in his mind should also be implemented and completed as soon as possible.

Internet kingdom, this is the plan in Lu Shaohua's mind. Lu Shaohua wants to build an Internet kingdom, which not only includes the Internet, but also transplants the Internet industry into it, and hardware facilities may also be linked.

In fact, Lu Shaohua had already started this Internet kingdom plan many years ago, such as establishing Phoenix Software Company, which was the first link of the plan. However, it was too monotonous at that time, as it only developed operating systems and did not involve other fields.

A few years later, Lu Shaohua ordered people to buy office software and merge operations. Later, he also tried to enter the field of anti-virus software, but the efforts were not great, the results were not obvious, and the progress was not fast.

It is not easy to create an antivirus software engine. It is pieced together from thousands of data. To reach advanced levels, it requires even more powerful technology and time to verify.

Before coming to Shenzhen, Lu Shaohua had specifically checked out the progress of Phoenix Anti-Virus Software. The final result disappointed Lu Shaohua. The engine of Phoenix Anti-Virus Software was written, but in Lu Shaohua's opinion, it was still too rough and the effect was not ideal.

With such a result, would Lu Shaohua dare to launch Phoenix Antivirus Software into the market? That would be like shooting oneself in the foot.

Don't forget that Phoenix Group has always prided itself on being a symbol of quality products. If a product launched on the market is not a quality product, wouldn't that be a slap in its own face?

Someone suggested that Lu Shaohua bring the antivirus software to the market, but that was a year ago. However, Lu Shaohua did not agree at the time and only said lightly that it was still a long way from being launched. Then he ordered his subordinates to continue to improve the engine of Phoenix Antivirus Software.

In fact, Lu Shaohua rejected the suggestion of his subordinates at that time out of today's considerations. Lu Shaohua had already calculated that there would be a large amount of funds after the Asian financial crisis, and Lu Shaohua had already allocated a part of this large amount of funds to develop his Internet empire.

With the funds, Lu Shaohua could recruit people and a Phoenix anti-virus software engine would be a piece of cake. To develop a high-quality Phoenix anti-virus software is just a matter of time.

In terms of software, Lu Shaohua has tentatively only planned office software and anti-virus software, as well as a financial management software. The financial management software had been completed earlier, but Lu Shaohua did not launch it into the market and only provided it for internal use.

Perfect in practice, so to speak.

Lu Shaohua’s idea is very simple. It is to provide it for internal use. If problems are found, they can be corrected in time, and if there are deficiencies, they can be added as soon as possible. This is a necessary step in creating high-quality products.

Lu Shaohua is also working on this link. Now that so much time has passed, what needs to be improved has been improved, and the deficiencies have already been supplemented. It is time to launch it on the market.

At this moment, Lu Shaohua has made up his mind to officially name the financial management software Phoenix Financial Management. After this period of time, he will prepare to list it on the market and officially enter the field of financial management software.

Speaking of financial management software, there are only a few on the market now, but their functions are not powerful. Lu Shaohua has reason to believe that once the Phoenix Financial Management software is launched on the market, it will have great advantages and its competitiveness will become stronger. It may even become famous and establish an absolute position.

Of course, all this is just Lu Shaohua's wishful thinking. What will happen in the end will depend on the facts. Only when the real results are in hand will Lu Shaohua dare to make the final conclusion.

Phoenix Software has developed quite well. It has basically formed a shell. It only needs some more additions to fully realize its application function and help Lu Shaohua realize his great dream - to build a network kingdom.

But the Internet is not bad either. Phoenix Tencent, referred to as QQ, is an instant messaging chat software that has won the hearts of the people. Its reputation has spread all over the world, and its influence is growing day by day...

What will it bring to Lu Shaohua's plan?
