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

After receiving a reply from Haobo Technology, Li Xingping came to Beijing immediately.

For him, hao123 is now a hot potato, and the opponent is a new Internet giant that relies on product clusters to expand rapidly. In this situation, hao123 alone has no power to resist, and he has realized that he is powerless to turn the situation around, so the only way is to take action as soon as possible.

When hao123 was at its peak, its monthly income was as high as 123. Based on a valuation of times the PE, it would have at least or million. But now it has been hit hard by Haobo Technology, and its monthly income is less than . Its income has dropped sharply, so Li Xingping's current expectation is only million. He has no confidence even at this price. He has contacted many Internet companies, including several companies that had been very interested in hao before, but these companies were concerned about Haobo Technology and were unwilling to take over.

Now, Li Xingping also understands that the real buyer of hao123 is only Haobo Technology. In this case, the psychological expectation of million is difficult to achieve, but he still has to fight for what he should fight for.

Zhou Hao did not meet Li Xingping when he came to Beijing. Haobo Technology's attitude towards hao123 is to kill him. It doesn't matter whether to recruit him or not. In this case, it is good enough to let Lu Yatong meet him. If Zhou Hao was not eager to recruit hao123, he would probably let a department manager talk to Li Xingping.

It just so happened that Cao Yi, who was earning an annual salary of 500,000 yuan at Haobo Technology, had just resigned from NetEase with his small team of ten people and joined Haobo Technology. Zhou Hao, together with the heads of the technical department, human resources department, business department and legal department, held a portal network strategy meeting with Cao Yi. He asked Cao Yi to take action first and get the pp portal online as soon as possible.

Cao Yi is thirty-five or thirty-six years old this year. He has been in the industry for many years and his professionalism is naturally impeccable. However, he did not expect that as soon as he reported to the company, the boss would personally formulate the next strategic plan for him. Before joining Haobo Technology, he did not know how much Haobo Technology valued the portal network.

Zhou Hao gave Cao Yi a heavy burden. In his words, "It must be launched within half a month. It must not only clearly divide the content of multiple sections, but also fill in a large amount of content."

Cao Yi's thinking was also very quick. When he saw the legal department was present, he guessed what Zhou Hao might be thinking. In addition, Zhou Hao was so anxious to launch the portal, he understood that Zhou Hao might want to import some content from external sites first.

For portal websites, the most important thing is content. If there is no content or insufficient content in the major channels after the portal website goes online, user retention will definitely be very poor and it will be difficult to achieve results.

But if we start from now and slowly accumulate content, the process will be too long. Not to mention half a month, it may take even half a year to complete the content. Therefore, the fastest and simplest way right now is to import content from external sites.

Today's copyright law is not clear, especially for online copyright. Many websites reprint content from other platforms and individuals, and rarely communicate with the original author or copyright holder. The default approach is to put it online first. If someone comes to them, they will use vague legal methods to argue with the other party. If they cannot win the fight in the end, they will ask the staff to remove the content complained by the other party. The cost of infringement is very low.

So Cao Yi expressed his idea: "Mr. Zhou, we can first grab some high-quality content from other websites, fill it in, and then go online as soon as possible. At the same time, we can expand the team and vigorously develop our own original content. As the original content increases, we can slowly block the content we grabbed before, so that we can meet our needs."

Zhou Hao smiled slightly, knowing that Cao Yi had misunderstood his meaning, and explained: "I don't want to actively infringe. Although the cost of infringement is very low now, it will inevitably leave a stain on us. I called the Human Resources Department and the Legal Department here today, mainly to convey two points to you:

First, if you have any needs for team structure, you can communicate directly with the Human Resources Department. They will help you build the team as quickly as possible and provide you with full support;

Second, we need content from external sites, but not in an infringing way. The business and legal affairs departments are all here. If you are interested in the content of any website, you can communicate directly with the Ministry of Commerce. They will help you negotiate with the other party. For example, Zhongguancun Online, their content is frequently plagiarized by major websites, but there is no way to complain. We do not plagiarize their content. We cooperate with them and pay them a certain amount of money each year. Their content can be fully authorized to us for reprinting. Because they are vertical portals and we are comprehensive portals, there is no direct competition between us. Our user groups are also different and there is less overlap. So if we actively give them money, they will definitely agree. If we talk to more vertical portals like this, our content in these specific categories can be quickly filled.”

Cao Yi then realized that Zhou Hao was not trying to skirt the rules, but wanted to directly pay for authorization and fundamentally solve the problem of introducing content from external sites.

Cao Yi looked ashamed and said to Zhou Hao seriously, "Mr. Zhou, I understand what you mean. I will screen some vertical portals and local portals as soon as possible, evaluate their content, and then hand them over to colleagues from the business and legal departments to communicate for authorization."

Zhou Hao nodded with satisfaction: "After our portal goes online, we must also launch a submission channel at the same time, and formulate a generous fee standard to solicit articles from all people. All people who can write articles can submit articles to our PP portal. Once accepted, we will pay according to the quality of the content or the number of words. Only by having all people submit articles can we quickly increase our content reserves. As the quantity increases, our high-quality content will naturally increase. Moreover, we have Alipay as a support, and the payment of manuscript fees is also quick and convenient. It would be best if we could cultivate a group of high-quality columnists."

Cao Yi was shocked by Zhou Hao's words. Nowadays, few websites are willing to accept manuscripts for a fee. The model of receiving manuscripts for a fee is only applicable to magazines and newspapers. After all, the demand for magazine and newspaper content is not large. However, a comprehensive online portal has a very large demand for content.

But what Zhou Hao meant was that as long as they dared to do it, he would give them money and people. Such great support showed how much he valued the portal. For Cao Yi, although the fact that his work was highly valued by the leaders put him under certain pressure, it was also the driving force that urged him to move forward.

So Cao Yi assured Zhou Hao: "I will immediately start to formulate the process and fee standards for all submissions. It would be best if we could open a submission backend on our website so that all registered users can submit directly. They can submit according to categories, and our editors will review the manuscripts in their respective categories. So we also need the support of our technical department."

Zhou Hao nodded: "The technical department is here to serve you. In addition to these, if you want to add features like content screening, rating and grading, and display weighting, you can directly write product requirements and meet with the technical department for communication. The technical department will also spare no effort to provide you with support."

Haobo Technology now has hundreds of technical developers and one of the strongest development teams in the country. It not only supports the entire Haobo Technology, but also supports Taobao, Alipay, and other products. With such a large team, just a dozen people can easily support the portal. If you want to speed up, Zhou Hao can mobilize dozens or even hundreds of people in a short period of time to jointly support the portal. With a large development team as a backing, Zhou Hao is confident in making any Internet product.

Zhou Hao himself comes from a technical background and is very clear about how important the role of technical development teams in the future Internet field will be. He poached Cao Tianlei not only to make him responsible for Taobao or a certain product architecture. His biggest task in the future is to take charge of the technical R&D department of Haobo Technology. In the future, Haobo Technology will definitely transition from product development to technology development. The future Internet and mobile Internet will not only be dominated by products, but also by patents. Communication protocols, architecture support, browser support, data transmission, data processing, and data analysis all require extremely strong technical reserves. Accumulating technology from now on is the top priority for Zhou Hao.
