Urban God-level Youth-Chapter 581 - 583: Xinghai Mall Goes Live

Qin Hao nodded, "If Mr. Chang set the launch for today, then it should indeed be today."

Bai Jing spoke up, "Mr. Qin, what are the requirements for us to join the Xinghai Mall?"

Qin Hao, "Large companies need to pay a deposit, and then they can open a store within Xinghai Mall. My goal is for anything that can be sold in reality to also be sold in Xinghai Mall."

"Can we sell steel materials there, Mr. Qin?" Deng Zhenyuan asked.

Qin Hao nodded, "Of course, for example if Mr. Deng wants to open a store, you need to provide all sorts of business certifications, the company's full name, and detailed information.

Other companies interested in steel materials can search for them and then contact the appropriate company for further investigation.

If everyone wants to join Xinghai Mall, you can prepare the relevant documents after you go back, and then I will have Mr. Chang review them.

The sooner you join, the greater the benefits might be. After all, when the platform matures, definitely more companies will join, and then the competition will be fierce."

"Then we have to thank Mr. Qin," Bai Jing said with a smile.

Her behavior was no longer as frivolous as before, after all, the current Qin Hao was no longer the Qin Hao of the past.

Deng Zhenyuan spoke up, "Now, when the members of Shuinan Chamber of Commerce go out to do business, nobody dares to look down on us anymore, all thanks to Mr. Qin."

"Indeed, with Mr. Qin around, no one dares to look down on people from Shuinan Chamber of Commerce anymore."

Qin Hao, "You all give me too much credit. I don't have that much strength."

"Don't be so modest, Mr. Qin. When you stamp your foot, the entire business world trembles."

This lunch was more about flattery and sycophancy, something Qin Hao could understand. No matter where he went now, many people flattered and fawned over him, because his status no longer allowed these people to speak to him on equal terms, nor did they dare to speak to Qin Hao in the same tone.

Flattery and sycophancy aren't necessarily the doings of deceitful and cunning people; sometimes it's just a product of the environment.

These people wanted to cling to Qin Hao's massive ship, hoping to make money with him.

As for Qin Hao, he was indifferent. It was the same to him whether he made money alone or took these people along to make money, as they had their uses for him.

…

On the web forum Wei Yan, this morning at nine o'clock, Xinghai High-tech Company officially announced through its Wei Yan that this afternoon at five o'clock, Xinghai Mall under Xinghai High-tech Company would go online.

The news caused quite a stir. Was Qin Hao really going to overturn the three internet giants? With social software, a search engine, and an e-commerce platform all rolled out, especially the Xinghai Browser and social software, he had already dealt a significant blow to Qiandu Company and Tenglong Group.

Especially for Qiandu Company, whose market value was evaporating the fastest, coinciding with the increasing download numbers of the Xinghai Browser.

No longer as powerful as Tenglong Group and Amao Net Shopping's internet ecosystem, Qiandu Network Company naturally suffered the most damage.

Lv Tian was one of the first to receive this news. Even before Xinghai Mall went online, the stock of Amao Net Shopping began to fall.

This revealed the terrifying influence of Qin Hao. Merely an announcement of an e-commerce platform going live caused the market value of Amao Net Shopping to evaporate by several billion Federation dollars.

It was mainly because of the impressive strength Qin Hao had shown a few days ago. Both Xinghai Social Software and Xinghai Browser were reflections of Qin Hao's potency in the internet arena.

If Qin Hao was to run an e-commerce platform, they believed it wouldn't be any worse.

This was why the announcement from Xinghai High-tech Company caused Amao Net Shopping's stock to plummet.

The three major carriers were also panicking. Star Domain Network was including more and more apps, causing a sharp decrease in the cost of calls and data. Without the support of Tenglong Group and Amao Net Shopping's users, they could not last even three months.

…

Upon returning home in the afternoon, Mrs. Qin said to Qin Hao, "Xiao Hao, we're going to your grandmother's house the day after tomorrow morning."

Qin Hao nodded, "Okay, I know, Mom."

Mrs. Qin, "Xiao Hao, did you intentionally make things difficult for your uncle's mall?"

Qin Hao nodded, "The online public opinion incident was initially pushed behind the scenes by Su Yi Group. Don't worry, Mom. I'm just teaching him a lesson. As long as he knows his place, I won't make it too hard for him."

"You keep saying 'him'. Watch how you speak. He is your uncle, my brother. If you dare to speak like this when we're there, don't blame me for hitting you," Mrs. Qin said with a hint of annoyance.

Qin Hao gave an embarrassed smile, "Got it, Mom."

After speaking with his mother, Qin Hao went to his study and logged onto his computer.

Suddenly, his phone rang. It was a call from Chang Jing, "Mr. Qin, I've restructured Xinghai Social Software, Xinghai Browser, and Xinghai Mall under the subsidiary companies of Xinghai High-tech Company. Xingyu Network Communication Company will only handle Star Domain Network separately."

Qin Hao, "Okay, I'm aware."

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

Chang Jing continued, "Mr. Qin, there's another matter. A company has approached us. They work in the micro-research field and want to cooperate with us."

Qin Hao, "How are the talks going with the micro-research side? Are they interested in cooperating?"

Chang Jing, "They are, but they also have conditions. Star Domain Network has to sign a contract with them to prevent future network bans against their micro-research."

Qin Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp light flickered within. The upper echelons of the micro-research had far-reaching thoughts.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "We can sign the contract, but in the future, they must pay fees according to the charging mechanism of Star Domain Network."

The profit potential of one micro-research entity was limited, and Qin Hao wasn't interested in pursuing it. With the time it would take, he could develop several high-tech projects that would earn far more money.

Chang Jing, "Okay, Mr. Qin, I'll discuss with the micro-research side shortly. There shouldn't be any big problems."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Hao logged onto Wei Yan. If the micro-research fell into Star Domain Network's domain, it would cause a significant upheaval.

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Xinghai Mall went online. In just half an hour, the download count reached a terrifying two hundred million.

It was primarily because of the red packet grabbing event at six o'clock, which required downloading Xinghai Mall; otherwise, one couldn't snatch the red packets.

Qin Hao downloaded it as well and took a look at it. There were many categories: mobile phones, computers, clothing, jewelry, maternal and infant toys, alcohol, books, etc., and all these stores belonged to well-known large companies, with detailed addresses, all authentic.

Close to six o'clock, the download count for Xinghai Mall reached over five hundred million.

A five hundred million download count in one hour stunned those in the industry when they saw the data.

Many shuddered at the thought; the pulling power and influence of Star Domain Network and Xinghai Social Software had grown so immense?
