This time, Nie Yuan was no longer the only sensitive person. The entire Sina senior management had just experienced a sharp drop in stock prices, which had just eased somewhat. Everyone was like a frightened bird, and their reactions were even more sensitive than Nie Yuan's if the situation was a little unusual.

Originally, they thought that Zhou Hao would not put Sina's link on pp123 unless Sina purchased traffic from pp123, but they did not expect Zhou Hao to restore Sina's link without asking for any compensation. This was a good thing, but Zhou Hao's recommendation position for Sina on pp123 and Zhou Hao's adjustments to other portals made them realize that something seemed wrong again. If this inference is true, the blow to Sina may be more serious than the previous blocking by pp.

Sina's top management all guessed that Haobo Technology would focus on portal websites. Even Sohu and NetEase, which had previously benefited from it, contacted Sina's top management. All portal websites that had been adjusted by Haobo Technology were aware of Haobo Technology's ambition. For these companies, portal websites are currently the top priority for survival. If PP really builds a portal website, it will be a huge shock to everyone, because in this age where traffic is paramount, no one dares to compete with Haobo Technology in traffic. Haobo Technology has strong traffic support and is almost invincible in the entire Internet field.

Nie Yuan angrily called Zhou Hao. As soon as the call was connected, he directly questioned: "Zhou Hao, we have disbanded UC as you requested, and you have also accepted the people. What do you mean by doing this now?"

Zhou Hao pretended to be curious and smiled and asked, "Brother Nie, what do you mean?"

Nie Yuan repeated what he had just said, but his tone was even angrier than before.

Zhou Hao said, "Brother Nie, calm down first. You may have misunderstood."

Nie Yuan asked: "What's the misunderstanding?"

Zhou Hao smiled and said, "I never asked you to disband UC. You disbanded UC on your own. Now you say you did it at my request. Isn't that a bit far-fetched?"

Nie Yuan was speechless. Zhou Hao had indeed never said this before, not even anything related to UC. It was Liu Qiangdong who said this vaguely. Although this was also what Zhou Hao meant, when it came down to it, he really couldn't blame Zhou Hao. He could only curse him for being shameless in his heart.

So Nie Yuan asked Zhou Hao again: "What is your intention in adjusting the positions of Sina and other portal websites on pp123?"

Zhou Hao smiled and said, "Brother Nie, pp123 is a subsidiary of Haobo Technology, and they have confiscated your money. How to adjust it has nothing to do with other companies, right?"

"You are too..." Nie Yuan was speechless. Zhou Hao's words made him not know how to respond.

Zhou Hao smiled and said, "If pp123 belongs to Sina, you can adjust it however you want. I have no right to interfere, right?"

Nie Yuan felt that Zhou Hao was making up his mind. He was not a man of integrity in the first place, and now he was getting himself into trouble. This was really too much, so he angrily said, "Don't quibble. You deliberately tricked Sina into cutting off UC, and now you have made such a big adjustment to the positions of several major portals on pp123. Do you want to build a portal website too?"

Nie Yuan said this in anger, with a questioning tone. Zhou Hao was not angry at all, but said very frankly: "Yes, we want to build a portal website. Why, Senior Brother Nie? Is it not possible?"

"you……"

The question "Isn't it possible?" stumped Nie Yuan again.

When it comes to creating content, Zhou Hao can't compare to him, and when it comes to being thick-skinned, he can't compare to Zhou Hao.

Nie Yuan was angry and anxious, but he couldn't refute. Zhou Hao's question was very realistic. Haobo Technology wanted to build a portal website, couldn't it? Of course it could. The country and the law didn't care, and he had no right to interfere. But after hearing him speak so frankly, Nie Yuan was furious. Now that he thought about it, everything made sense. Building a portal website was Zhou Hao's goal. Suppressing Sina and forcing Sina to cut off UC was just a convenience for Zhou Hao.

Nie Yuan felt even more aggrieved when he thought that the entire Sina was fooled by Zhou Hao, and that not only did the stock price plummet, but UC, which had been in business for so long, also destroyed itself. Now, not only did Haobo Technology not stop, but it was also trying to shake up Sina's foundation.

But he couldn't blame Zhou Hao. What could he say? Say that Zhou Hao shouldn't have cheated Sina? It was useless. Zhou Hao didn't admit it. Say that Zhou Hao shouldn't have built a portal? It was even more useless. On the contrary, it made him look childish. Whatever Haobo Technology wanted to do was his freedom. He had no right to interfere or blame him.

Nie Yuan could only sigh in frustration. He really couldn't afford to offend Zhou Hao. Sina shouldn't have continued to develop UC in the beginning, let alone poach Xu Bin's people. Zhou Hao must have regarded Sina as a big enemy at that time, so he went to such great lengths to target and suppress Sina.

Feeling depressed, Nie Yuan could only say angrily: "Zhou Hao, it's rare to see someone so shameless!"

After saying that, Nie Yuan hung up the phone.

Zhou Hao smiled helplessly and said to Liu Qiangdong in front of him: "It seems that I have offended Senior Brother Nie now."

Liu Qiangdong shook his head and said, "I guess he hates me too."

Zhou Hao smiled and said, "Forget it. Let's break it down and then rebuild it. I won't contact him for now. I'll wait until he can't stay at Sina anymore, or Sina can't survive anymore."

Liu Qiangdong said: "Given the current number of users of pp and pp123, it is too easy for pp to become the number one Chinese portal. It won't be long before these other major portals will be anxious."

Zhou Hao smiled slightly: "There is no other way. After all, Haobo Technology is now the creator of Internet traffic."

Haobo Technology is not only the creator of traffic, but also controls the source of traffic and the destination of traffic!

Because as long as he has enough internal channels to digest the traffic, he will never have to worry about any trouble. As for other downstream companies, they can only pray that Haobo Technology will delegate the huge traffic that it cannot digest. Only in this way can they live easily.

This is also the reason why Zhou Hao wants to build a portal, to enhance the channels and capabilities for digesting internal traffic. Therefore, he not only wants to build a portal, but also other classified and various products, such as videos, novels, games, cloud services... He must make his own ecosystem bigger, stronger, and more complete!

By then, most of the users and traffic controlled by Haobo Technology will be absorbed by itself, just like Tencent in later generations. It will never direct its own users to other companies or products. Only when it really cannot absorb them will it seek cooperation to exchange resources.

Zhou Hao will not be a good guy in the Internet industry. He must form a complete closed loop between his products, his product groups, his ecological system and his users. He must not only erode market share as much as possible, but also try his best to prevent other competitors from profiting from it. He must hold his ground while vigorously expanding his territory. He will do something open when he grows into a true industry giant in the future.

For example, the WeChat public platform of the future mobile Internet, as well as online distribution platforms such as music, video, and reading, these open products and platforms will bring benefits to the industry, allowing the entire industry to treat Haobo Technology as a star, revolve around Haobo Technology, and draw heat from Haobo Technology, thereby further consolidating Haobo Technology's dominant position.

Precisely because of this idea, Zhou Hao will not be soft on any rivals and will never give up any development opportunities during the growth of Haobo Technology. This time, he will not only target old portals such as Sina, NetEase, and Sohu, he will also snatch blogs from Sina and open them directly on the pp space; then he will snatch "Fantasy Westward Journey", a domestic online game money-printing machine, from NetEase and start building a pp online game business group; he will also snatch Sogou input method and make it a part of the pp ecosystem.

Now, it's not just Sina that is worried, but also NetEase, Sohu, and Yahoo. The most annoyed among them is Sina. It just reluctantly cut off UC to show goodwill to Haobo Technology, but unexpectedly Haobo Technology has no intention of reconciling with it, but has a bigger killer move. Not only did Sina fail to solve the problem by cutting off UC, but it was fooled by Zhou Hao and gave up the only weapon in its hand!
