Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 366 Mobile Payment Frenzy
  At 10 o'clock in the morning the next day, Alipay issued a public announcement that it would officially plant trees in the desert area on Arbor Day, March 3, and welcomed volunteers from all over the country to participate in the tree planting activities!
  As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation on the entire Internet.

On that day, tens of thousands of people signed up to participate in tree planting activities.

At the same time, the popularity of Ant Forest has increased again, attracting widespread attention.

Players’ sense of participation and enthusiasm instantly exploded!

Wujiang Building, Chairman's Office.

Zhao Ye looked at Alipay's various recent data and couldn't help but feel satisfied.

"Ant Forest should be on the right track. Next, we should vigorously develop mobile payment. I am still looking forward to this!" Zhao Ye smiled, picked up the teacup, and took a few sips.

"While foreign countries are still using cash, credit cards or bank cards for transactions, China has already popularized mobile payment. When you go out, you only need to carry a mobile phone. Just thinking about it makes people excited and proud!"

Zhao Ye took out his mobile phone and played a new song "Compendium of Materia Medica" released by Jay Chou last year.

"If Hua Tuo is reborn
  Chongyang is healed
  Foreigners come to learn Chinese characters
  Arouse my national consciousness
  Nux Vomica Cassia
  cocklebur and lotus seeds
  ......"

Zhao Ye leaned his head back on the chair, closed his eyes slightly, and listened to the song with a contented look on his face. As he listened, he fell asleep unknowingly...

……

……

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon that day, executives from Alipay, WeChat and Facebook rushed to Zhao Ye's office for a meeting.

Here, Zhao Ye introduced to everyone for the first time the use of QR code technology to solve mobile payment problems.

"Using QR code technology to scan and pay will be the mainstream method of mobile payment in the future! Just imagine, when merchants print out their payment QR code stickers and stick them in the store, and when consumers pay, they only need to Just scan the payment QR code with your mobile phone. In this way, there is no need to conduct cash transactions. Isn’t it very convenient?! In the past, cash transactions were slower and required change, which was very troublesome! "Zhao Ye said with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, Facebook CEO Qing Hongyuan, Alipay CEO Hu Gangyi, WeChat CEO Zhang Xiaolong and others were shocked, and their faces immediately showed surprise.

"Director Zhao's idea is simply shocking! Such a convenient and efficient mobile payment method will definitely completely change people's consumption habits and lifestyles, and is of great epoch-making significance!!!" Facebook CEO Qing Hongyuan said Face said with admiration.

"Yes, Director Zhao, you are so awesome! People no longer need to carry cash when going out, which was unimaginable before!" Hu Gangyi sighed.

Everyone praised and agreed, but the idea of ​​mobile payment was really refreshing and shocking to them.

Zhao Ye smiled faintly, and after a while, he said to everyone: "It's actually nothing, it's just that many people didn't think of it. If this layer of window paper is broken, everyone will understand..."

After a pause, he said, "You should know what to do next, so I don't need to explain it in detail."

"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.

“Prepare as soon as possible, especially offline, and let merchants support the use of QR code payment methods!”

"Okay, Director Zhao!" Everyone nodded.

"Director Zhao, I think the consumer side is more important. We should mobilize the enthusiasm of consumers and let them actively use the mobile scan code payment method. For example, if we hold an event and consumers scan the code to pay offline, You can get a cash draw, limited to 10 times a day. In this way, consumers will definitely use the scan code payment method, and merchants will definitely support QR code collection in order to gain customers!" Zhang Xiaolong looked excited. Color, he opened his mouth and said.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "This is a good suggestion. We don't need to send a large number of local promoters to visit merchants. We only need to spend money on consumers and let them develop the habit of scanning QR codes to pay." Can!"

In the previous life, hawkers selling vegetables and fruits at rural fairs were already using payment codes. This was mainly because consumers had developed the habit of scanning QR codes to pay and rarely brought cash with them when they went out. If hawkers still wanted to be one of these people, Business, then make changes and print out the payment code, it is not difficult.

"Director Zhao, I think we can also guide public opinion and launch a challenge to see if you can survive for a month without cash. Through this challenge, let everyone see that mobile payment can replace cash transactions!" Facebook CEO Qing Hongyuan suggested.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he couldn't help but nodded: "Mr. Qing's suggestion is also very good, you can try it!"

Unknowingly, it was almost time to get off work, and everyone had been chatting for more than two hours.

Zhao Ye looked at his watch, finally summarized the afternoon's conversation, and then announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Starting from the next day, Alipay, Facebook and WeChat all began to carry out in-depth development of mobile payments.

The technical difficulty is not great and it was all done in less than a week.

Subsequently, it was tested for a period of time to verify technical and safety issues.

By February 2007, 2, everything was ready and all we needed was the east wind.

Before the mobile payment function is launched, at least some merchants must already support QR code payment.

Wujiang Group's offline market channels are still very impressive. Wujiang flagship stores, Wujiang supermarkets, Wujiang convenience stores, as well as movie theaters, hotels, hospitals, pharmacies, print shops, etc. are simply not too many.

Moreover, Meituan, a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, is the dominant player in the food delivery field, so it does not believe that food delivery merchants will not give face.

Uber can also provide payment codes directly when taking a taxi, reducing cash transactions.

In short, if Wujiang Group wants you to pay by scanning the QR code, you will never use cash.

At 2 o'clock in the morning on February 24, Alipay, WeChat and Facebook jointly held a press conference, which caused a sensation.

At the press conference, with the appearance of three CEOs at the same time, the press conference instantly became excited.

"Oh my god, there must be big news again today! Alipay, Facebook and WeChat, no matter which one is the dominant one, now three of them appear on the same stage, I can't help but be shocked!"

Everyone stared at the three people on the stage with eyes filled with anticipation.

Sure enough, in the subsequent press conference.

The three of them took turns introducing mobile payment, a mobile payment based on offline code scanning. It is a new payment method for people to go out and no longer use cash or credit card transactions!

As the big guys described, pictures couldn't help but appear in everyone's minds.

Immediately afterwards, the big screen at the press conference began to play a seven or eight-minute video. The video showed the audience various usage scenarios of mobile payment in detail, which once again deepened people's understanding of mobile payment and aroused people's enthusiasm. Everyone is interested!
  As soon as the video ended, the audience burst into applause that lasted for a long time.

"I go to the bun shop to buy buns and soy milk in the morning, go to the restaurant for lunch at noon, and go shopping in the evening... Mobile payment is everywhere, it's awesome, cash is going to be eliminated!"

"It feels so sci-fi. Even science fiction novels dare not write this, but in reality, we actually achieved it!"

"Technology changes life. Wujiang Group has always been at the forefront of the times. It is worthy of being the greatest company in modern times. It truly deserves the title!!!"

“…” 　　Everyone was in awe and admiration, but also looked forward to it. They wanted to leave the press conference immediately and go to a nearby store to experience the joy of mobile payment.

"Ahem! Everyone, please be quiet. The mobile payment function will not be officially launched until 12 noon today. Please don't worry. In addition, we have some good news to tell you!"

Zhang Xiaolong said loudly, paused, and saw that everyone was attracted by the good news he wanted to say, and then slowly said, "Next, we will conduct a week-long scan-code payment to draw cash! As long as consumers pay offline If you scan the QR code to pay, you will get a chance to draw cash, limited to 10 times a day. The draw amount is related to the consumption amount. For example, if you spend 100 yuan, the draw amount ranges from 0 to 100 yuan, that is to say , if you are lucky and win 100 yuan, you don’t have to spend a penny, this order will be completely paid for by Alipay, Facebook and WeChat!”

Having said that, the reality is that very few people draw the full prize money.

What is the profit on an item? ? If it is 30%, then I let you draw 10%, then I can still earn 20%. Of course, some people are allowed to draw more and some are allowed to draw less, as long as the average is 10%.

Looking at this routine, isn't this equivalent to a discount promotion?
  You must always believe that when you feel that you have made money, Wujiang Group will only make more.

At this moment, the guests in the audience and the audience watching the live broadcast of the press conference were all very surprised.

"Holy shit, shit, shit, Wujiang Group is throwing away money again. It's like a money-splitting boy. I love you so much! You can also win prizes when you buy things. There is such a good thing in the world!!!" Netizens said in shock! , I can’t wait to go shopping in stores outside. If I’m lucky and get the full quota, can’t I get a free whoring? Even if you can't pay the full amount for free, you can at least save a little money, right?

"Brothers, it's time to compete for luck. Go ahead~~~ The more you spend, the more cash you will get. Let's build luxury cars and villas!!!"

"Damn, brother, you are so smart. If Wujiang Group sees what you say, I am afraid that I will faint in the toilet from crying!"

"Brother is awesome! I have learned, I have learned, I will pick up the car now!!!"

"Hahahahaha, of course, I'm a professional at shearing wool~!"

"..."

Unexpectedly, there was a craze on the Internet wanting to harvest Wujiang Group's wool.

Wishful thinking, absolutely wishful thinking.

Can you harvest the wool from Wujiang Group?
  Zhao Ye and the group executives were all grinning from ear to ear. The city has many tricks, so you should go back to the countryside...

The press conference was over by now, and it was almost 12 o'clock noon.

With everyone's expectations, domestic Alipay, Facebook and WeChat apps have all been updated and mobile payment functions have been launched, mainly payment codes and collection codes.

At this time, merchants who had already cooperated with Wujiang Group immediately posted the payment codes prepared in advance in their stores.

Some merchants have purchased QR code scanning machines specially launched by Wujiang Group. Consumers present their payment codes and the QR code scanning machine scans them to complete the transaction.

Wealth and silk attract people's hearts, and lottery draws make them happy.

During the lunch break, many people flocked to the stores owned by Wujiang Group.

Good guy, all the major stores are full.

There was even a queue of hundreds of meters in front of a Wujiang supermarket in Shanghai, which stunned the Wal-Mart supermarket across the street.

"Oh my God, what's going on over there at Wujiang Supermarket? Business is so good, it's so scary!" A shopping guide looked across the window with great confusion.

She glanced back at the Wal-Mart supermarket. It was empty, and every few customers were there. It was very miserable, giving people a feeling of depression.

At the front desk of Walmar Supermarket, several young men ran over excitedly.

"Hello, does your store support mobile payment?" the young man asked the cashier.

"Mobile payment???" The cashier was stunned, with confusion on his face.

The young man frowned and said, "Just scan the QR code to pay...Scan the QR code to pay!"

The cashier knows about QR codes. She can scan the QR code to add WeChat friends, and she can also scan the QR code to ride shared bicycles, but she has never heard that you can also scan the QR code to make payment.

"Sorry, sir, our Walmart supermarket doesn't support mobile payment yet!" the cashier shook his head.

When several young men heard this, they were speechless. Such a big supermarket didn't even support QR code payment. It was so rubbish!
  In fact, since Wal-Mart Supermarket is the main competitor of Wujiang Supermarket, Wujiang Supermarket deliberately did not communicate with Wal-Mart Supermarket in advance. Of course, Wujiang Group will not prevent Wal-Mart supermarkets from opening the QR code payment function in the future.

With the crazy traffic in the early stage, Wujiang Supermarket will definitely be well fed.

"Hey, if there weren't too many people at Wujiang Supermarket, I wouldn't want to come to Wal-Mart. Forget it, let me go check out other places."

After saying that, several young men turned around and left.

This group of people drove away, and another group of people came and asked whether Wal-Mart supports mobile payment.

Of course the answer is still not supported.

As a result, this group of people also left, leaving the cashier ladies at the front desk very confused.

At this time, a cashier who was playing with his mobile phone suddenly said loudly: "Oh, I know! I know why they ask if our Walmart supermarket supports mobile payment!"

"Oh? Why?"

"Because of the lottery! When consumers shop in offline stores, they can use mobile payment to scan the QR code when paying to get the chance to win the lottery. The lottery amount is related to the consumption amount, and the highest order can be free!!"

After hearing this, several cashier ladies suddenly realized.

"According to this, if our Wal-Mart supermarket does not support mobile payment, wouldn't it mean that there will be no customer source? What will we do~"

"It's cool~ The worst I can do is work as a cashier at Wujiang Supermarket. I heard they are still hiring..."

"..."

The effect of crazy coin throwing is extremely significant.

Countless people went on a shopping spree for the lottery opportunities, almost using up the 10 lottery opportunities every day.

Offline, as long as the store does not have the scan code payment function, the situation in the store can be described as empty.

This is only the first day. As more and more people receive the news, how big of a shopping frenzy will there be? Can you capture this overwhelming wealth?
