Become the richest man in the world starting from the rebirth of college entrance examination

There are currently only two online casual game platforms in China, one is the well-known Lianzhong, and the other is the yet-to-be-formed Bianfeng.

Lianzhong is the leader in online casual games and can be described as a powerful empire. However, due to its single product, although this empire looks strong, it has actually been in danger for a long time. Even if Zhou Hao does not pick his fruits today, according to the course of history, Mr. Ma will also pick them next year. Once a real rival with the concept of building an ecosystem appears, Lianzhong will be overthrown in an instant.

As for Bianfeng, it has only a few million players now and is completely powerless. When faced with an Internet giant like Zhou Hao who does not play by the rules and also runs an online casual game platform, it doesn't even need to do anything, as Lianzhong will be crushed to death the moment it falls.

At this time, Zhou Hao didn't know that he was actually facing three opponents, or strictly speaking, two and a half. In addition to Lianzhong and Bianfeng, there was also the QQ game platform which had been half developed.

Tieba has recently been promoting "Happy Camp" which will be broadcast later this month, and users are paying close attention to it. After all, Zhai Yue, Dream Times, and Chen Qi will all appear on "Happy Camp" for the first time. However, at 5 a.m. on May 10, all Tieba promotions were replaced by a series of inexplicable advertisements.

"He's rich and willful, a tycoon you've never seen before!"

"Haobo Technology's new event in May starts at 70 o'clock tonight. Three mobile phones will be given away every hour, one Motorola v, one Samsung, and one Nokia!"

"The event lasts for 72 days, with mobile phones given away every day!"

When users see these inexplicable ads, they are confused because they are too strange. They only say that there will be an event and give away mobile phones, and three mobile phones will be given away every hour for 15 consecutive days, but how will they be given away? There are not even specific rules for the event. How can we participate?

In the morning, this inexplicable activity of Haobo Technology became the most talked about topic on the Internet.

There is no other way. What Zhou Hao wants is simple and crude. Nothing else but spending money, and every penny is spent with great impact. When netizens learned that Haobo Technology was going to give away 15 mobile phones within 1080 days, they were almost crazy and were racking their brains to know how the gifts would be given away.

But no one was clueless. No one knew what activity Haobo Technology was going to do, how it would be done, or how the mobile phones would be given away. Everyone who was interested in the advertisement began to look forward to eight o'clock in the evening. No one knew whether a link would suddenly be given at eight o'clock in the evening for everyone to click on and grab. If they were late, they would miss out.

To be exact, Zhou Hao learned this trick from Alibaba's Jack Ma. In 2009, Jack Ma launched the first 1 yuan flash sale on Taobao with a very simple and crude rule: in each time period, several products of different values ​​would be released, but each product was sold for only 1 yuan, and whoever got it first would own it. Zhou Hao had heard people mention that this event directly pushed Taobao's traffic to an unprecedented peak, and the cost was not high; it simply took advantage of netizens' self-confidence.

This is a clever trick, and if used properly, the effect can be amazing.

A large number of online trolls started to move around, commenting or guiding discussion topics everywhere, and always saying something like, "People with money can be willful, this really is people with money can be willful..."

Judging from the popularity online, Zhou Hao estimated that there are at least several million netizens waiting for Haobo Technology to give away mobile phones at 5 o'clock tonight. As soon as o'clock arrives, he will release the pp game platform and announce the rules of the pp National Landlord Competition. Millions of people are scrambling for computers, and everyone thinks they can get one. Now three mobile phones are given away every hour, and everyone will definitely think they can win one. Moreover, this process is much more comfortable than the flash sale where you stare at the time without blinking and press F. All prizes are won in the game duel. You can win a mobile phone while playing. It doesn’t matter if you don’t win, just keep playing. Anyway, this game is quite fun.

This inexplicable move by Haobo Technology has not only attracted the attention of a large number of netizens, but also attracted the attention of many peers in the industry. Many companies now regard Haobo Technology as a benchmark and operating textbook, and pay attention to Haobo Technology's every move every day. Although they still don’t understand what Haobo Technology is doing, everyone understands: if you pay close attention, you will definitely learn something from it.

Tencent's CEO Ma was also very curious.

What the hell? Are they going to hold a lottery on PP?

He felt that Haobo Technology must feel that it was in financial difficulty, so it was competing with him to see who had more wealth. Because Haobo Technology announced at the beginning that it would not accept any commercial promotion, he was forced to terminate all advertising cooperation. Not only did the advertising revenue drop sharply, but it also generated a lot of liquidated damages. Now Haobo Technology is not only not making money, but also bleeding money into it. If he wants to keep up with the pace, he will be a little overwhelmed.

The entire network is paying close attention to the new developments of Haobo Technology. Unconsciously, the four words "rich and willful" began to become popular in the circle of netizens. The magic of these four words also began to show. The Internet was full of comments about "rich and willful". Some of them were guided by the Internet trolls, and some of them were spontaneous comments by netizens. In short, these four words became popular within a day.

No one knows what Haobo Technology is doing, but everyone is paying close attention and waiting for eight o'clock in the evening.

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, a large number of promotional offensives were already ready in the trenches, waiting to rush in at eight o'clock.

There is great anticipation throughout Haobo Technology, including other departments which have now lifted the ban on the news, and everyone is waiting to witness the emergence of pp game hall.

This also includes Lu Nan who just joined the company.

When he left Tencent, Mr. Ma had not yet decided to develop the QQ Game Hall, and the QQ Game Hall was also highly confidential within Tencent, so he didn't know that his old employer was also developing the same product. When he learned that his new employer, Haobo Technology, had developed the PP Game Hall and saw the introduction of the PP Game Hall, he quietly mourned for his old employer. He could see that once the PP Game Hall came out, QQ would no longer be able to resist.

However, Lu Nan quickly adjusted his mood. Now he was not an employee of Tencent, but an employee of Haobo Technology. The most important thing was that by the end of the month, Ruan Yun, whom he had been thinking about day and night, would come to Haobo Technology to join the company. This was his biggest hope besides work. Therefore, Tencent was not too much of a hindrance to him.

The administrative department ordered pizza from Pizza Hut for employees who were working overtime or waiting to witness the historic moment. As a result, the huge order volume mobilized several Pizza Huts to rush to make pizza. Zhou Hao looked at the hundreds of employees in front of him and said to Lu Yatong, "Find a capable subordinate to prepare a fleet for the company."

"Fleet?" Lu Yatong asked, "What are the specific requirements?"

Zhou Hao said: "Investigate the living conditions of employees, select some relatively concentrated locations, and open several employee buses to and from the company. In addition, I think our workplace will soon be full of seats. The size of the team will continue to expand in the future. We should hurry up and find a new workplace. It is best to choose a high-end office building with convenient transportation. It would be even better if we can take over an entire floor or even two floors. Decoration also takes time, so we have to start in advance."

Lu Yatong nodded. "We can only add a hundred more people to our current office area. If we move out the customer service and editing departments, we can still free up dozens of workstations. We should be able to support ourselves for another half a year. Do you think we should look for someone now or wait a little longer?"

Zhou Hao said: "Looking for a job now, the company is not short of money, the revenue is not bad, we have to find a way to spend some money, the workplace must be good, big, but it is best not to go outside Zhongguancun."

In later generations, Internet giants such as Tencent, NetEase, and Baidu all have their own office buildings in Beijing, and each one is bigger than the other. Zhou Hao thought that in the second half of next year, after the company's influence, capital, and tax payment have been further improved, he would communicate with the government to buy a piece of land to build the Haobo Building, which will be the headquarters of Haobo Technology. Moreover, he can directly hand it over to Lin Hui for construction at that time, which can be regarded as getting some work for the real estate company jointly established by him, Ye Shao, and Lin Hui, killing two birds with one stone.

However, the cycle of buying land, building, decorating and using the building would probably take until 2004 at the earliest. So before that, they had to rent a workplace outside. As companies grew in size, many workplaces were decentralized, with departments split up and scattered across the capital. It would be very difficult to coordinate internally, so Zhou Hao would rather spend more money to rent a large workplace and leave it idle when not in use. It was always more convenient than looking for one temporarily when it was not in use.

Lu Yatong understood what Zhou Hao meant and said immediately, "I will arrange for someone to go to Zhongguancun to learn about the situation of the office building tomorrow."

Zhou Hao hummed and looked at the time. "There are still twenty minutes left. It will be almost time."

At this moment, far away in Shenzhen, Jill Masi, who was sent by MIH to help Tengxun overcome difficulties, came to Mr. Ma's office as usual. When Mr. Ma saw him coming in, he hurriedly picked up his notebook and greeted him, saying, "Jill, you came at the right time. We can drink tea while waiting to see what Haobo Technology is doing?"
