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

Cao Tianlei is a technology fanatic. His greatest joy is not how much money he makes, but how many awesome products he makes.

His idol is Linus, the creator of the Linux kernel, who is like a god who has benefited the entire Internet. He hopes to be remembered by the entire industry by making awesome products, but he has never had top product ideas to help him realize his dream. But since joining Haobo Technology, he increasingly feels that Zhou Hao is the super product manager who drives him to develop top-notch products. What he needs most in his industry career is to have such a person to guide him and drive him to work hard in that direction.

This express delivery information processing system may not sound like a big deal, but once it is completed, we cannot compare it with those Western express delivery companies with valuations of over 100 million yuan, but at least it can become a leader in the domestic express delivery industry, and even a benchmark for information technology in the domestic physical industry.

Moreover, Cao Tianlei also knew that this was just the beginning. He had just joined Haobo Technology and was young. Zhou Hao was even younger. By working together with him, he might be able to create a product that would amaze the whole world. Right now, what he needed to do most was to make the management system that Zhou Hao wanted as soon as possible. Since it involved the matching and compatibility of hardware and software, he couldn't help but think further and said to Zhou Hao, "Mr. Zhou, if possible, I would like to recruit a group of hardware engineers and set up a hardware testing and research department in Haobo Technology. The future logistics system will not only require a barcode scanning gun, but perhaps in the future our sorting conveyor belts will need to have automatic barcode scanning functions. In the future, our entire sorting system may need to be automated. Only the combination of software and hardware can form a system, an online and offline, virtual reality solution, so work in this area must be started as soon as possible."

Zhou Hao agreed with this very much and nodded, saying, "Hardware is a major trend in the future development of the Internet. We must get involved in it in advance. So you will take the lead in establishing our first internal laboratory at Haobo Technology, which will specialize in hardware and the combination of hardware and software."

In the future, the combination of software and hardware will indeed be the core of the entire Internet and even the national industry, light industry and electronic manufacturing industry. Many oligopolistic companies in the Internet field have their own hardware laboratories. If this can be done, it will be of great significance.

A hardware laboratory, no matter how simple it is, would cost tens of millions of dollars a year. Zhou Hao agreed so readily that Cao Tianlei couldn't believe it. He felt more and more that joining Haobo Technology was the most important and correct decision he had ever made.

Then, Zhou Hao said to Liu Qiangdong, "Brother, although the logistics company is starting from scratch, it will be an extremely large structure in the future. I don't have the energy to run such a large plate, so its future operation will have to be handed over to you. Just let me know if you need any support."

"Don't worry, I will do my best."

How could Liu Qiandong not understand Zhou Hao's meaning? Zhou Hao took the initiative to give him 10% of the shares just because he wanted to hand over the logistics company to him. Although he was just a self-employed person years ago and his potential as a domineering president has not yet been stimulated, Zhou Hao has decided to boost him. Zhou Hao is like a turbocharger in a car engine, injecting surging air into Liu Qiandong's engine, allowing it to burn more fully and burst out with stronger power.

Zhou Hao said: "The two of us will take out another 10% of the shares in proportion to each other as the future team option pool. The specific distribution is up to you. My principle is what I said before, regardless of everything, try my best to recruit people!"

After sorting out the entire logistics company development process, Zhou Hao immediately called Ye Shao and Shen Haoshun to make an appointment for a meeting. These two people were the two with the best resources and channels that he knew. He wondered if they had any resources in the airline company. If they did, that would be great.

……

Hangzhou, Ali Bar.

Boss Ma also convened a meeting of core members in Alibaba. Taobao contacted ZTO Express. For Boss Ma, this was equivalent to triggering the fuse he had prepared in advance. As for whether the fuse would detonate a bomb or an opportunity, it depended on Zhou Hao's decision.

In Boss Ma's plan to counterattack Taobao, there are two generals who are responsible for two major links respectively. One is Cai Chongxin, who is responsible for building the logistics system. Now he is responsible for ZTO Express, STO Express and YTO Express; the other is Lu Zhaoxi, who is responsible for building Alibaba's own c2c platform.

At present, what Cai Chongshen has to do is to take control of these three logistics companies as soon as possible and be prepared to block Taobao even if it means losing money in the future; as for Lu Zhaoxi, his biggest task is to complete the platform development and testing as soon as possible.

Boss Ma said at the meeting: "Taobao has realized that its transportation capacity is insufficient. If they are willing to sit down and have a good chat, we can jointly plan the domestic C2C market. If they still refuse, then we have to do it ourselves. I have recently been in contact with the leaders of several major banks in Hangzhou. Now the central bank has not given direct feedback on Alipay. It seems that it has tacitly approved of this form. If we are sure to do it ourselves, we can also open an online merchant entrance in the four major banks. If we have our own payment channels and also provide transaction guarantees according to the Alipay model, then we will have our own Alipay, and the gap with Taobao will be closer, and the chances of success will be greater."

After a pause, Boss Ma continued, "In the new round of financing that we just completed, we suffered a big loss in order to quickly receive funds, but as long as we can gain a foothold in the C2C market, this loss will be worth it. So everyone must cheer up. No one can relax until we achieve our goal!"

As he spoke, Boss Ma looked at Cai Chongxin and said, "Chongxin, your position is of utmost importance. You need to block Haobo Technology downstream, making it unable to bear the burden in the middle and upper reaches, causing its resources to flee and causing it to collapse. This is your most important point."

Cai Chongxin said: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Boss Ma nodded and said to Lu Zhaoxi, "Zhaoxi, we are going to compete with Taobao from head to toe. It has a platform, so we must have one too. It has Alipay, so we must have one too. It has traffic but no manufacturers, but I have manufacturers but no traffic. So you have to follow up on these online products, such as the platform, Alipay, and traffic."

Lu Zhaoxi immediately said: "No problem, leave it to me."

Boss Ma said to everyone with satisfaction: "Think about it now, if we build a good platform and connect our payment products, what do we lack compared to Taobao? It seems that apart from traffic, there is no weakness, but we still have a very obvious advantage over them, that is, our manufacturer resources and our downstream logistics capacity. Manufacturers can provide us with more products, and express delivery can provide us with higher transaction efficiency and at the same time drag down competitors. By grasping these two advantages, it is only a matter of time for us to win Taobao. Once our own platform is launched in the future, what we need most is to poach small and medium-sized sellers from Taobao. As long as they cooperate with us, they can get better and more sources of goods and faster turnover. As long as they migrate to our platform, their customers will surely follow, and then we will be close to success."

Boss Ma's strategic conception was very clear, and the people present agreed with his strategic plan. After finishing what he wanted to say, Boss Ma said, "I will have someone contact Taobao and make an appointment with Zhou Hao to see what his attitude is."

Cai Chongxin smiled and said: "If he has foresight, he must be anxious now. Knowing that the logistics resources are in our hands, he will definitely be eager to meet you."

"I think so too." Boss Ma nodded, then shrugged and smiled: "Who knows, Zhou Hao is a guy who often doesn't follow the routine. Maybe he cares more about face."

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Hao was about to leave Taobao because he had made an appointment with Ye Shao and Shen Haoshun to have lunch together at six o'clock. Before leaving, he discussed the next steps with Liu Qiangdong again. Liu Qiangdong stayed at Taobao until the next round of Lychee flash sale. As soon as the flash sale was over, he immediately invested his energy in the preparation of the express delivery company and went around the world to recruit logistics talents, especially from the four companies of ZTO Express, SF Express, YTO Express and STO Express. He was responsible for raising funds immediately and then finding airlines to get a share of the belly cargo space.

Zhou Hao did not expect to expand the logistics company all at once. He planned three logistics bases in the early stage, namely Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. It did not matter even if he could only do point-to-point transportation in these three cities at the beginning. He would start by getting started and then gradually expand the coverage.

After deciding on their respective responsibilities, Zhou Hao was about to leave. At this time, Taobao's business contact person came to the office and said to Zhou Hao, "Mr. Zhou, Hangzhou Alibaba called and said that their Mr. Ma wants to make an appointment with you. You promised to make time to meet with him before."

Zhou Hao waved his hand without hesitation: "Reply to them and tell them that I am too lazy to see him and don't want to see him, not now and not in the future! Reply with my exact words, immediately!"
