Urban God-level Youth

Qin Hao's eyes brightened, and a smile appeared on his face, "Mr. Chang, you are right, this kind of event is indeed good. Is the plan ready?"

Chang Jing began, "I have contacted more than ten internet companies, each contributing twenty million, totaling around two billion.

At that time, a cash red packet distribution event will take place on Xinghai Social, which will not only increase the download count of our Xinghai Social Software but also enhance the exposure and download counts of our partner companies' software. Mr. Qin, how much funding do you think should be allocated from our side?"

Qin Hao spoke, "Tenglong Group and Amao Net Shopping have always contributed over ten billion in the past; this year, they might allocate even more funds to recapture the customers we've taken from them. Mr. Chang, how much do you think is appropriate?"

Chang Jing responded, "The more, the better, of course. Given your current status and position, it wouldn't be appropriate to contribute less than them."

After thinking it over, Qin Hao said, "Then let's put forth ten billion. Do we know how much those two companies are planning to allocate?"

Chang Jing replied, "This New Year, Tenglong Group plans to distribute two billion in cash red packets, and Amao Net Shopping will distribute 2.4 billion. They have already started their promotion, and some of their customers have started to come back. I've prepared everything; we just haven't settled on the funding."

Qin Hao spoke, "Then let's go with the ten billion cash red packet promotion."

He knew that defeating the three major internet giants wouldn't be easy. They were deeply ingrained and widespread across the internet. A money-burning war was inevitable.

Zhao Yuying stated, "I have already picked our spokesperson, Yu Tiantian from Yuhao Media Company. She's currently a popular, well-regarded young actress. This will also help boost her popularity and reputation again."

Qin Hao replied, "No problem, just talk to her directly. She knows what to do. I'll start for my hometown tomorrow. Call me if there's anything."

Chang Jing nodded, "All right, Mr. Qin."

After giving some instructions to Chang Jing, Qin Hao then left the office and returned home.

When he got home, Zhao Yuying had just come back from the office as well.

"Yu Ying, have you finished with the company matters?" Qin Hao asked as he looked at her.

Smiling, Zhao Yuying nodded, "It's all taken care of; I'm also headed home tomorrow."

Entering the house, Han Meng and Qiao'er were watching television, having already packed their things today, preparing to head home tomorrow morning.

Qin Hao handed out some things he had bought to Zhao Yuying, Han Meng, and Qiao'er, "This is the jewelry I bought yesterday. See if you like them."

The delighted Zhao Yuying opened it and saw a three-piece diamond jewelry set, "It's so beautiful."

Although Han Meng did not know the price, she knew it must be expensive. Her face blushed slightly, "Xiao Hao, I shouldn't take this."

She felt that she and Qin Hao did not have that kind of relationship and should not accept such a gift.

Qin Hao responded, "Meng, you've taken care of me for several months now. Consider this your New Year's reward. Take it."

Zhao Yuying also persuaded, "Meng, he isn't short of money; don't be shy, just take it."

Unable to resist them both, Han Meng reluctantly accepted, "I'll go cook then."

The television was showing the 6:30 p.m. news.

"Today at five in the afternoon, Old Cellar Wine Group and Nanlang Wine Group announced their bankruptcy and closure."

When Qin Hao saw this news, he remained composed. The closure of these two mid-to-low-end brand wine groups meant that Xinghui Wine had now fully dominated the domestic market for mid-to-low-end liquor.

Zhao Yuying spoke to Qin Hao, "Look at Wei Yan, the video from your company's annual meeting has been uploaded online by an employee."

Curious, Qin Hao took out his phone and opened Wei Yan, where many people were discussing the Jiangshan Group annual meeting.

"Wow, five apartments in Jianghai City, and ten luxury cars worth half a million each, Mr. Qin is really generous."

"Working at Jiangshan Group must be amazing, I want to join Jiangshan Group."

"All employees of Jiangshan Group got triple their monthly salary this month, usually around 10,000, but this month it's over 30,000, so satisfying."

"Holy crap, do ordinary workers at Jiangshan Group earn that much?"

"A friend of mine works at Jiangshan Cooked Food, slicing duck meat, and he told me he earns over 10,000 a month. I thought he was bragging, so I unfollowed him..."

"Don't even start, a while back a high school classmate who works at Huafei Clothing Factory as an ordinary worker earning about 10,000 a month, invited me to join thinking he was involved in pyramid selling, I cussed him out and blocked him, wondering now if it's too late to apologize."

...

"Props to the guys above, impressive, impressive."

"I graduated from a decent university and make about 6,000 a month, dang it, I'm quitting my job, heading to Jiangshan Group."

"With such high salaries, they must work you to death, be very careful before deciding."

"No, that's just nonsense. I work at Jiangshan Cooked Food. Yes, slicing meat is tiring because we sell a lot every day, but we only work nine hours a day with two days off per week, and make over 10,000 a month."

"I work at Huafei Clothing Factory. Before Mr. Qin took over, our salary was the same as before.

But since he took over, salaries went from about 4,000 to now nearly 9,000 to 10,000."

Jiangshan Group has over fifty-six thousand employees, and many of them are on Wei Yan, clearing up any misconceptions for their company.

Suddenly, Qin Hao had an idea. He sent Chang Jing a message on Xinghai Social, "Mr. Chang, hasn't anyone approached to discuss partnership at Wei Yan?"

Chang Jing replied, "Not at the moment, I once reached out to them, and their condition was that we pay them a collaboration fee of one billion per year."

Wei Yan dared to make such demands because they have a huge sticky user base. In the whole of Xuan Country, there's only one Wei Yan.

Wei Yan indeed has impressive capital, ranking among the top on the internet besides those three giants, with over a hundred million active monthly accounts.

Their annual revenue from advertising amounts to several billions.

Once the New Year event is over, and the traffic for Xinghai Social Software inevitably explodes, Chang Jing did not believe they would still have the audacity to speak such words.

Qin Hao sneered, "Let them dream on."

Free use of Star Domain Network, and they even expect us to pay them a billion? Do they think I'm a fool?

Chang Jing reassured, "Mr. Qin, don't worry. After the New Year event, they should realize the immense potential of Star Domain Network. The daily active users of Xinghai Social Software are not lower than theirs."

Qin Hao nodded, "Right now, let's focus on the three giants. We can deal with Wei Yan later. When is the e-commerce platform going to be ready?"

Chang Jing replied, "It's estimated to officially launch on the second day of the lunar new year. It's still in the beta testing phase, and we are also contacting some major brands to join."
