Urban God-level Youth-Chapter 535 - 537: The Three Giants Make Their Move to Suppress
Qin Hao answered the phone, "Hello, what's wrong, Auntie?"
Feng Xiangyi said with some difficulty, "Xiao Hao, I twisted my ankle. Do you have time to come over?"
Qin Hao frowned, "What happened? Wait for me, I'll be right there."
Feng Xiangyi, "I twisted it getting out of the elevator because of my high heels."
Qin Hao also had been planning to ask her about the land for the building since the design for the Emperor Building exceeded that of ordinary buildings, and an average plot probably wouldn't suffice.
He had Leng Xuan drive him to Feng Xiangyi's residential complex.
Arriving at Feng Xiangyi's place, she was sitting on the couch, her complexion a bit pale, one foot raised, with the ankle completely swollen.
Qin Hao walked over, saw her ankle, and asked in surprise, "Auntie, how did you twist it so badly?"
Feng Xiangyi, "The heels were a bit high, but thankfully I was right by the elevator. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to make it home. You are skilled in medicine, aren't you? Can you treat me? I still have a lot of work to take care of at the company tomorrow."
Qin Hao took out a silver needle and began to insert it into her ankle, "Auntie, has the land deal been settled?"
Feng Xiangyi, lying on the couch, replied, "It's almost settled; we just need to make the payment and sign the contract."
Qin Hao, "How big is the area? I'm planning to build a 288-story comprehensive skyscraper."
Feng Xiangyi almost jumped up at his words, "How many?? 28 floors or 288 floors?"
Qin Hao, "288 floors. I plan to construct a complex that includes a shopping mall, exhibition hall, movie theater, library, bank, hospital, hotel, park, apartments, and so on."
Feng Xiangyi stared at him blankly, "Mr. Qin, do you have more money than you know what to do with? I've never even heard of a 288-story building."
Qin Hao, "The initial construction may cost just tens of billions of Federation dollars, and if we include the interior design, it will probably need over a hundred billion. After completion, we can rent out many spaces, and the money can be earned back in just a few years."
Feng Xiangyi, "Mr. Qin, there's no building with 288 stories in the world. I'm afraid no one can design such blueprints."
Qin Hao, "Don't worry about the blueprints; I've already designed them. I'm simply concerned about the size of the plot, as the surrounding area of the building will also need space for landscaping and so on."
Feng Xiangyi said, "Well, we'll discuss it and buy the surrounding land later as well, which might increase the costs."
Qin Hao, "Don't worry about the money; I'll take care of it."
After finishing, Qin Hao pulled out the silver needle and took paper from beside him to wipe the bruising that had surfaced on her ankle.
Once he finished wiping, Qin Hao stood up and said, "There, Auntie, all done."
Feng Xiangyi was stunned for a moment, looking at her ankle, "Is it healed just like that?"
Qin Hao smiled, "What else? It's not a serious illness. Try walking."
Feng Xiangyi slowly stood up, holding onto Qin Hao, and cautiously began to walk forward.
After a few steps, she indeed didn't feel as much pain and could walk normally, though she still didn't dare to exert too much force.
Qin Hao, "You should be fine after resting for the night. Auntie, have you had dinner?"
Feng Xiangyi, "Not yet. You haven't eaten either, right? Let me cook for you."
"You rest for a bit; I'll cook," Qin Hao said as he pressed her back onto the couch and went into the kitchen.
Sitting on the couch, Feng Xiangyi watched Qin Hao in the kitchen. Du Wanrou had come to see her a few days ago and had also told her about Qin Hao having several girlfriends.
She had long anticipated that someone as capable as Qin Hao would be like this.
Ordinary bosses and tycoons usually have several women, let alone Qin Hao, as long as he doesn't grow tired of the old for the new, Feng Xiangyi felt that was enough.
Remembering the question Du Wanrou had asked her before, she felt her cheeks grow hot.
She had never expected Du Wanrou to ask if she liked Qin Hao and if she wanted to be with him, suggesting that two people could support each other.
...
Initially, Feng Xiangyi thought Du Wanrou was testing her, so she vehemently refused.
But after thinking it over, she realized Du Wanrou probably wasn't testing her.
About twenty minutes later, Qin Hao finished preparing dinner and set it on the dining table, saying to Feng Xiangyi, "Auntie, come and have dinner."
They sat opposite each other. Qin Hao spoke while eating, "Auntie, secure the land deal as soon as possible."
Feng Xiangyi nodded, "Mm, I will handle it tomorrow."
About five minutes later, Qin Hao received a call from Kang Youyi, "Mr. Qin, Qian Du Network Company, Amao Net Shopping, and Tenglong Group have blocked and delisted all our products online."
Qin Hao frowned, "Is the company significantly affected?"
Kang Youyi, "Our bagged Jiangshan Roasted Duck, duck necks, duck wings, and the like have very good sales online, we're losing at least nearly ten million in revenue each month."
Qin Hao, "Alright, I understand. For now, slow down production a bit, let's just supply some to retail distributors and large shopping malls,"
After hanging up with Kang Youyi, Qin Hao received another call from An Linxuan. Xinghui Wine was also being blocked by these three industry giants.
These three giants have tremendous influence on the internet, their combined reach almost covers over ninety percent of internet user traffic.
It wasn't just Jiangshan Roasted Duck and Xinghui Wine, but also Huafei Clothing Official Flagship Store and Huamei Cosmetics Company's products as well.
Any product from Qin Hao's companies was being blocked by these three giants, with a direct economic loss of several billion each month.
Qin Hao searched on his mobile phone for Xinghui Wine, Jiangshan Roasted Duck, etc., and couldn't find anything.
In the end, he searched for Xinghai High-tech Company and still found nothing, although this time there was an explanation from Qian Du Company.
Because it had not reached a cooperation agreement with Xinghai High-tech Co., Ltd, Qian Du Company would temporarily cease all collaborations with Xinghai High-tech.
Xinghai High-tech was too well-known, and Qian Du Company didn't dare to block it silently; after all, this was not some small company.
After reading, Qin Hao's expression turned very cold. It might not look like a lot of money was lost, but the invisible impact on the reputation and prestige was immense.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Feng Xiangyi asked, noticing his expression.
Qin Hao, "Those three internet giants have blocked all my companies, you can't find anything about Jiangshan Group online."

Feng Xiangyi's expression shifted slightly, "What about the other search engines? Can't find anything there either?"
Qin Hao, "I haven't tried the others yet."
There are several search engine software providers besides Qian Du, including search engines from Amao Net Shopping and Tenglong Group.
There's no need to check; theirs definitely wouldn't have anything.
Beyond these three search engine providers, there is also Mige, a search engine from the Federation, backed by the Robert family, and even it had nothing.
Qin Hao's companies were thoroughly and completely blocked.
