In the elegant hotel room, Zhou Hao sat with Liu Qiangdong and Nie Yuan. As a junior, Zhou Hao took the initiative to pour wine for the two and said to Nie Yuan, "Brother Nie, I have heard of your name for a long time, but I have never had the chance to meet you. Today I finally got my wish. Let me introduce myself. I am Zhou Hao, a student of our school's class of 01."

When Zhou Hao was pouring the wine, Nie Yuan held the glass with both hands. From this, we can see that although Zhou Hao respected him as his senior brother, he unconsciously lowered himself to a lower level. He felt that he was like a junior in front of Zhou Hao. After all, he had been in the society for so long, and he no longer ranked people by age and time of enrollment, but by social status and strength.

He was not inferior, but he still felt inferior to Zhou Hao.

Hearing Zhou Hao being so polite, Nie Yuan felt a little overwhelmed and said modestly: "Mr. Zhou is too polite. Compared to you, I am not that famous."

Zhou Hao smiled and said, "If Senior Brother Nie didn't graduate from the University of Science and Technology, I wouldn't say anything if you called me Mr. Zhou. But you and Senior Brother Liu are both seniors from the University of Science and Technology. Out of respect for the school, I have to call you Senior Brother. Besides, we don't have much business dealings. I can barely accept Senior Brother Liu calling me Mr. Zhou in the workplace, but it's unreasonable for you to call me Mr. Zhou in a private gathering."

Zhou Hao's words caught Nie Yuan off guard. Although his tone was calm, Nie Yuan felt pressured. So he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll do the same as Qiang Dong and just call him by his name."

Zhou Hao nodded and said with a smile: "I listened to everything that Senior Brother Nie said today, and I was deeply touched. On behalf of the Taobao team, I would like to thank you for your selfless teaching today."

Nie Yuan waved his hand politely: "You're too polite. It's not a big deal. I just want to talk about my views on the Internet. I don't know if it will be useful to the Taobao team."

"Of course." Zhou Hao said with a smile: "The Taobao team is different from the technical team. The technical team is mostly made up of the technical backbone of Haobo Technology. They are top in the industry in terms of experience and strength. However, the operation team has just been established and lacks experience. You have taught them a very meaningful lesson today, which will definitely have a great positive effect on their future development."

Liu Qiangdong also said: "Yes, Senior Brother Nie, e-commerce is a new industry and has never really developed in China, so everyone has no experience. We especially need senior people like you to share some profound insights in the Internet field."

Nie Yuan's face was a little hot, "No matter now or in the future, your achievements on the Internet will far exceed mine, so don't flatter me..."

"It's different." Zhou Hao waved his hand and said, "Brother Liu and I are focusing on products, platforms, and ecosystems, but our control over content is far inferior to yours."

Nie Yuan asked Zhou Hao curiously: "What does ecology mean?"

Zhou Hao said: "Ecology is the vertical and horizontal cooperation between various products to jointly create an ecological system that maximizes resource utilization and investment returns, such as the mutual cooperation between several major products of Haobo Technology, the sharing and joint expansion of user groups, etc."

Nie Yuan nodded thoughtfully: "Haobo Technology is involved in so many fields, is it building its own ecosystem?"

Zhou Hao nodded: "Yes, including Taobao and Alipay, they are also part of this big ecosystem."

Nie Yuan took the opportunity to ask: "What is the positioning of the navigation website in Haobo Technology? This kind of website with no technical content seems to be out of line with the style of Haobo Technology."

Zhou Hao smiled and asked: "In your opinion, what is the style of Haobo Technology?"

Nie Yuan thought for a while and said, "I feel that the style of Haobo Technology is to use superior concepts and technologies to do things that others have not thought of or cannot do."

Zhou Hao smiled and said, "That's only part of it. The Internet is more about high-low matching. Although navigation websites are not high-tech, they are an indispensable Internet tool for most users."

There is one thing Zhou Hao didn't say. He now controls the users' communication entrance to the Internet, the users' shopping and payment entrances, but he has not yet controlled the users' ordinary Internet entrance. Navigation websites are very important Internet entrances, and portal websites are even more so.

Nie Yuan also felt that Zhou Hao must be hiding something. He felt that most of the products made by Haobo Technology in the past were high-profile and well-known in the industry. However, when it came to pp123, they did not make a big fuss and just promoted this own navigation site through their own products. The previous high-profile promotion was not seen at all on the navigation website.

In fact, Zhou Hao had already prepared for a big move, but his energy had been focused on Taobao recently. Now that Taobao is online and has achieved a successful start, he can free up his energy to deal with hao123 and Sina.

At present, the red, white and green list function of pp website and the domain name blocking function have been developed but have not yet been launched. Once a head-on war with Sina begins, all information about Sina will disappear from the pp ecosystem with over 123 million users. After hao123 also gets it and successfully links to pp123, Sina will completely disappear from pp.

At the dinner table, Nie Yuan found an opportunity to ask Zhou Hao about portal websites: "Does Haobo Technology plan to build its own portal website?"

Zhou Hao could see Nie Yuan's feelings towards Sina.com, and he couldn't poach him just by saying it, so he lied about this question, shook his head and said, "The portal website is not very meaningful to Haobo Technology at this stage, and I don't have this idea at the moment."

Although lying is inappropriate, he cannot tell Nie Yuan that he has already started preparing for the portal website. What if he gives feedback to Sina and combines it with his own efforts to create pp123, allowing Sina to guess his purpose, and things will become a little tricky. Before he successfully acquires hao123, the news of building a portal website cannot be leaked.

Even though Zhou Hao did not reveal his plan for the portal, Nie Yuan was still worried. The ecological concept that Zhou Hao emphasized today finally made him understand what Zhou Hao wanted to do. He was constantly building new weapons, and the ultimate goal was to create one or more powerful aircraft carrier battle groups, and PP was one of the aircraft carriers, and it was the soul of Haobo Technology's huge ecological system. Sina is now high-profile poaching people to develop UC and compete with PP, which is definitely Zhou Hao's future enemy. Who knows what countermeasure Zhou Hao will make next.

The three of them chatted for a long time in the box. After all, they were all alumni of the University of Science and Technology. Although Zhou Hao was a freshman, he shared the same roots with them. In addition, they all worked in the Internet industry, so they had a very good chat. However, Nie Yuan was always wary of Zhou Hao. Although he hid it well, he could not hide it from Zhou Hao's keen sense.

Although Nie Yuan is a typical paranoid in Zhou Hao's eyes, Zhou Hao's expectation to recruit him into Haobo Technology is getting stronger and stronger. In the future, Haobo Technology will not only be a portal website, but also an Internet entertainment company, and it will have its own high-quality content library, not just content, but also videos, music, books, movies, and games... All of these require a powerful content controller, and Nie Yuan is the most suitable candidate.

There is a long way to go to dig his way.

……

After bidding farewell to Nie Yuan and Liu Qiangdong at the hotel entrance, Zhou Hao walked back to Huimin Garden alone. Because he wanted to drink, he parked his car downstairs at Taobao.com.

Halfway through the journey, Ning Hao, who had not been in contact for a long time, suddenly called Zhou Hao. Zhou Hao thought that there was some progress on the two movies, but he did not expect that he told Zhou Hao a strange news: a charity fund in Hong Kong suddenly contacted Haobo Image and wanted to invite Chen Qi to participate in a fundraising gala to be held in Hong Kong in the middle of this month.

Zhou Hao asked in surprise: "Why did you invite Chen Qi to the fundraising party in Xiangjiang?"

Ning Hao said: "What they meant is that the person in charge of their foundation admires Chen Qi very much, and Chen Qi is also very popular in Hong Kong, so they want to invite Chen Qi to participate in this fundraising gala as a special guest, which can also promote cooperation between Hong Kong and the mainland in charity."

Zhou Hao was even more puzzled and couldn't help asking, "What charity fund?"

Ning Hao cleared his throat and said, "The Seedling Fund is a charity fund dedicated to protecting minors."

Zhou Hao smacked his lips and said, "I haven't heard much about this fund..."

Ning Hao said, "I haven't heard of it. The other party knew that Chen Qi's agent contract was with our company, so they sent a formal letter directly. If you think it's not suitable, then I rejected them."

Zhou Hao thought for a moment and said, "Well, you forward the email to me. I need to talk to Chen Qi about the endorsement. I'll ask Chen Qi what he thinks then."

Ning Hao said: "Okay, I'll forward the email to you later."

Zhou Hao hummed and asked him, "How is the preparation for "Thief Among Thieves" going?"

"The script and storyboards are almost done. I have found some old friends and the team is almost ready. I will go to Sichuan and Chongqing this week to choose a suitable filming location."

Zhou Hao said, "Speed ​​it up. If a time for filming has been set, quickly make an appointment with King Liu's agency to see if you can lock in his schedule."

Ning Hao said, "Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible. By the way, last time you asked me to find a director suitable for filming a campus romance movie, I do have a suitable candidate!"
