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

At eight o'clock the next morning, Haobo Technology still had an hour and a half before work started, but the company was already very busy. More than eighty former QQ employees who had left UC came to the company early to handle their onboarding procedures. All the people in the human resources department also came to work early to handle the formalities for the new employees. Lu Nan and his old subordinates also came early. Although there was nothing for them to do, as they had joined Haobo Technology earlier, they still wanted to greet their old colleagues.

It was inevitable that everyone would sigh and lament when they met, but Lu Nan could see that these people had no resentment towards Haobo Technology, which was what made Lu Nan most pleased.

Guo Kaiyu arrived at the company half an hour early. The entry procedures for these people were almost completed. Seeing that the company had added so many experienced technical talents at once, he was in a good mood. However, when he thought that the two workplaces upstairs and downstairs of the company were almost full, it would be very crowded with more than 80 people coming in, so he found Lu Yatong, "Yatong, with so many people coming at once, will it be too crowded? How many more people can sit in our workplace?"

Lu Yatong smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. President Zhou has already instructed us in advance, so the administration department has been looking for a new workplace. It just so happens that the company on the tenth floor of our building is about to expire, and they are not renewing their lease, so when their lease expires, we will take over the entire tenth floor, and then we will have more space."

Guo Kaiyu said in surprise: "They took over the entire tenth floor? One floor can hold at least three or four hundred people. Isn't it too big?"

Lu Yatong said: "Mr. Zhou wants to move the Taobao team here as well. It's too troublesome to run back and forth all the time."

Guo Kaiyu nodded: "I understand, this is good, so I don't have to miss him all the time..."

Lu Yatong smiled and said, "It's not the first day you've known him, so you don't know his style? Even if Taobao moves here, once Taobao is on the right track, we and Taobao's people won't be able to see him anymore."

Guo Kaiyu smiled slightly, "You are right..."

Lu Yatong said, "By the way, we are going to have an induction training for new employees this afternoon. We will talk about our company's situation, benefits, rules and regulations. Mr. Zhou is not coming. Do you want to come and give a talk?"

Guo Kaiyu wanted to refuse. He was not good at speaking. If he wanted to deceive people, it would have to be Zhou Hao. However, Zhou Hao did not have time. Then he thought that these 80 people were all technical people, and Guo Kaiyu was also from a technical background. If Lu Yatong said some encouraging words, it might not be effective. If he said it himself, it would be more convincing to these IT talents. So he nodded and said, "Then I'll go and say a few words in the afternoon."

……

UC is gone and the team is in Zhou Hao's hands. Zhou Hao is not worried that his portal network plan will be leaked. Instead, he feels that now is the time to show his fangs to the traditional major portals.

After acquiring hao123, pp123 became Zhou Hao's second largest product in terms of traffic. Now the average daily active users of pp has exceeded 123 million, and pp is the second product with more than million daily active users.

After pp123's daily active users reached tens of millions, the traffic on the PC side was basically stuck in its hands. Although Baidu's traffic is also very large, Baidu's traffic is different from that of hao123. Now Baidu can only passively guide users based on user search behavior, but all the display positions of pp123 are placed there actively. Whoever is on pp123 and has a good position can get more traffic from pp123. Whoever is cut off by pp123 will lose this part of the traffic from pp123.

Sina wanted to spend money to solve this problem, but unexpectedly, as soon as they proposed to Haobo Technology to spend money to purchase the recommendation position of pp123, Haobo Technology refused without hesitation.

Haobo Technology said: "pp123 is Haobo Technology's own end traffic product, and we do not sell recommended positions to the outside world."

While clearly rejecting Sina, they also gave Sina a hope: "We will open the Sina link on pp123 as soon as possible, and it will be completely free."

Sina breathed a sigh of relief instantly. They felt that Haobo Technology was not so arrogant. At least after cutting off UC, they did not continue to target Sina. Now they have agreed to reopen Sina's link on pp123. This is good news for Sina. As long as pp123 reopens Sina's link, Sina's traffic loss can be recovered and the stock price will definitely return to its previous high.

But Zhou Hao is not a hypocritical person. He does want to restore Sina's display on pp123, but the specific way to do it is not what Sina has imagined.

Soon, pp123 made adjustments, and this adjustment caused a sensation in the industry again.

pp123, which was previously the most eye-catching and highest-traffic first-tier website display position, has now undergone subtle changes. Sina has reappeared in this section, but no longer appears in the first row as before, but in the fourth row, which is the last row, and the second to last in the last row.

If ranked by traffic weight, the section with the best traffic diversion effect is naturally the first link in the first row, followed by the second..., and then the first few in the second row. In short, the area with the highest traffic is concentrated in the upper left corner of the entire section, and other positions get worse as they go back. However, the last position in the lower right corner has a slightly better traffic diversion effect than the middle part because it is on the diagonal line, so Zhou Hao did not give this position to Sina.

Sina is ranked second to last in the last row, which can be considered the worst position in the entire section. Ahead of it are three portal websites: NetEase, Sohu, and Yahoo.

In other words, Zhou Hao moved these four portals from the most conspicuous position in the first row to the least conspicuous position in the last row. His idea was that since pp123 is a navigation website, it naturally cannot remove well-known websites for a long time, because that would make the website collection incomplete for users and also lose the basic function of a navigation website. However, Zhou Hao did not want to continue to use his own channels to direct traffic to portals such as NetEase and Sohu, so he tried his best to weaken the display weight of these websites on pp123 and throw their display positions into the corner.

Originally, Sina was suppressed by Haobo Technology, which made Sohu and NetEase very happy. However, they never expected that after Haobo Technology dealt with Sina, it immediately turned its spearhead towards them. Once the position weight was reduced, the traffic they received on pp123 also began to plummet.

Haobo Technology's subsequent actions aroused Nie Yuan's vigilance. As early as when Haobo Technology was developing pp123, he felt that Haobo Technology might have a strategic layout, and might even be laying the foundation for a portal network in the future, but that was also his personal guess; but now Zhou Hao not only still blocked Sina's traffic channel on pp123, he even adjusted the position weights of several other portal networks, greatly reducing the traffic they obtained from pp123. This move revealed too many signals.

If Zhou Hao targeted Sina because Sina's UC threatened Haobo Technology, then the only explanation for Zhou Hao's current targeting of other portals is that Zhou Hao also wants to build a portal!

Only this inference can explain Zhou Hao's motive for doing so. Although he has not yet launched his own portal, he has begun to weaken the traffic of other portals. In this way, as soon as Haobo Technology's portal goes online, he will immediately place it in the most prominent position of pp123, directly directing tens of millions of users to his own portal. In that way, the other portals will be hit hard.

Nie Yuan thought about it again. The time when Zhou Hao revealed this intention was very subtle. UC was disbanded yesterday, and today Haobo Technology accepted those more than 80 employees. Then it started to attack other portals. This was enough to prove that Zhou Hao had planned it long ago. But why did he choose to do it at this time? The reason was that Zhou Hao must have wanted to build a portal a long time ago, but he was afraid of provoking a backlash from Sina. So he first killed UC and snatched the UC team away, so that Sina would no longer be a threat to them, and then he would show his real fangs.

Thinking of this, Nie Yuan couldn't help but sigh that Zhou Hao was really ruthless. The reason why Sina took the initiative to cede land and pay compensation was to obtain new businesses with uncertain futures and preserve core businesses, sacrificing small things to protect big things and giving up pawns to save the rook. But he didn't expect that after losing the pawns, Zhou Hao wanted to destroy the rook as well!

In fact, UC means little to Zhou Hao. Sina ceded territory, paid compensation, and dismantled its own strength. For Zhou Hao, it lost the bargaining chip to threaten him.
