Chapter 1791: Commencement
A week later.
. In front of the W Film and Television Building, a bus slowly stopped.
The weather was not good, it was only 16 o'clock, the sky had already darkened, the temperature plummeted, and the moment the door was opened, a cool air eroded, and everyone in the bus couldn't help but tighten their coats.
The crew of "New Journey to the West" came to pick up Park Ji-hoon, Kang Ho-dong and Lee so-geun.
It didn't take long for Park Ji-hoon to come down first.
Dressed in a black suit, through the open jacket, you can see that only a shirt is worn inside, and it doesn't seem to feel cold at all.
"Zhixun, what's wrong with you?" Luo Yingxi got out of the car to greet him, and as soon as he met, he couldn't help but ask in surprise. Park Ji-hoon's appearance at the moment, if you use a cartoon to show it, must be with green eyes shining, like a big bad wolf who has been hungry for a few days.
"It's okay, it's good. Park Ji-hoon waved his hand and said.
It's really fine, it's just that it's a little too much, but fortunately he stopped Master Sun's kindness of using something indescribable to make up for him, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy now.
After saying hello, Park Ji-hoon got into the car.
"Jihoon. ”
"Seniors. ”
Yin Zhiyuan, Ahn Jae-hyun and Song Min-ho were all there, and they all got up to say hello.
After returning the salute one by one, Park Ji-hoon found a place to sit down and said, "The weather is really cool today. ”
"Uhhhhh
Everyone looked at each other, did he have any misunderstanding of the word "cool"?
Several people chatted while waiting for the last two.
Jiang Hudong and Li Xiugen have not yet come down to shoot "Brother I Know".
Finally, when the street lights came on, Jiang Hudong and Li Xiugen appeared with big suitcases.
As soon as he saw the camera, Jiang Hudong was like a child who saw a toy, and he performed as soon as he passed. I have to say that his attitude towards work is really admirable, he must be very tired after filming "Brother I Know", but he didn't show it in the slightest, and he still looks energetic.
You know, he's 47 years old!
"You're all here!" After getting in the car, Jiang Hudong found that except for himself and Li Xiugen, he had already arrived, and couldn't help but say sadly, "Wow——, you didn't even come down!"
Song Min-ho and Ahn Jae-hyun laughed, knowing that he was joking, but after all, they were very seniors, and they were not very familiar with each other.
Yin Zhiyuan looked like he didn't care.
"Brother Hu Dong wants to make a "New Journey to the West" victim alliance again?" Park Ji-hoon smiled and shook hands with Jiang Hudong and asked.
In "Brother I Know", it was originally a joke by Kim Hee-cheol, but as more and more guests cooperated, a "Starking" victim alliance gradually appeared, including Jackson, haha, Lee Hong-gi, SJ members, 2PM members, etc., and there is a trend of "rumors will become facts if they are said too much".
"Zhixun, don't ...... like this" When Jiang Hudong heard this, his face immediately changed, and he said coquettishly.
The reason why many people say that he has changed a lot is because his domineering and strong image used to give people too deep an impression, but now he likes to be coquettish and cute at every turn.
Li Xiugen and Yin Zhiyuan laughed loudly.
As Jiang Hudong's right-hand men, they are the deepest "victims".
"You have to change your state quickly!" Yin Zhiyuan said after laughing. Jiang Hudong and Li Xiugen are still in the studio, although they are both variety shows, they are very different.
The bus starts.
On the way, Luo Yingxi told them the destination of the trip, Guilin, China.
Following Tang Seng, Sha Wujing, Zhu Bajie, and Sun Wukong in the previous issue, two new characters of Turtle Immortal and Bulma have been added in this issue. It is important for the members to answer questions to decide the order in which to pick the characters, as they need to be disguised, and some of the characters are punished in the same way.
"The first question is, unlike paper money or coins, what is the introduction of a decentralized trade bill method that allows individuals to trade directly without going through a bank, as an imaginary currency on the Internet without a physical form?"
A group of people listened in a daze.
"Yes, My Pay!" Li Xiugen replied.
Park Ji-hoon's first mobile payment method, My Pay, now occupies half of South Korea's market, and the other half is being contested by Kakao Pay, Naver Pay, Samsung Pay and many others.
The root cause is because Park Ji-hoon is one step ahead at every turn.
The South Korean government has a lot of restrictions on mobile payment, and My Pay is the first mobile payment to be officially approved.
&nby Pay's precedent, Kakao, Naver, Samsung, etc., although it is much more convenient to apply for qualifications, but it also takes a long time. By the time these companies entered the market, My Pay had already begun to set foot in the financial field, opened Korea's first online bank, and began to sell physical bank cards this year.
South Korea issued credit cards back in 1969, even though there were. W's vigorous promotion is still far ahead of cash, credit cards, and bank card payments. Strictly speaking, the mobile payment market in South Korea was developed by My Pay, and the delays of several companies such as Kakao and Naver are also waiting and seeing.
As a result, one step is slow, one step is slow, although the data released to the public is that My Pay occupies half of the country, but it dominates the young people! Film and television variety shows, games, e-commerce, live broadcasts, and various apps such as neighborhood socialization, plus My Pay and online banking, only one .W account can log in to all of them at will, Park Ji-hoon's advantage is too great.
At the beginning of this year, the Internet bank was officially established, and in less than a month, more than 5 million users registered! Although the opening activities accounted for a large factor, after all, it attracted people, and now the number of registered users has exceeded 25 million.
Live is a V Live live broadcast platform launched by Naver in August 2015, which mainly promotes celebrity and fan interaction, and .W accounts for 50% of the shares.
Originally. When the W streaming video site was first launched, Park Ji-hoon often put some small videos shot at home on it, such as acting skills teaching Yuna, usual small games, food, etc., and the live broadcast was not popular at that time, let alone food bloggers, which really attracted a lot of popularity to the website.
Later, the video website was standardized, and it was a little reluctant to cancel this section directly, so a sub-site was established, but it has not been carefully operated, and the popularity is not low, but it is not very high.
Unexpectedly, the people of Naver had a sudden inspiration and launched the live broadcast platform V Live.
. Although W neglected this field, he was not willing to be overtaken by Naver, so he took the initiative to negotiate and wanted to acquire V Live, which is also one of the methods that Park Ji-hoon is used to in the world, and logistics companies, e-commerce platforms, and various studios have acquired a lot.
Naver didn't agree, but he was also worried that .W would fight with him, so he proposed a way for the two parties to operate together.
Naver Special Eye-Catching.W's User Information Data!
Although Naver is the largest search engine in South Korea, together with Kakao, the user information data is not exhaustive!
What's more, the power of My Pay lies in the fact that it's the equivalent of Adyen's branch in South Korea.
Adyen is one of the two projects that Alberto Garcia is working on, initially holding a 10% stake, but last year, for the global business of the e-commerce platform, Park Ji-hoon invested hundreds of millions of dollars in bank loans, with a stake ratio of 51%, which also made Adyen's valuation reach $2.3 billion, and launched Adyen's full-featured POS machine.
Adyen's strength lies in its partnerships with payment gateways, financial regulators and card clearing networks in more than 200 countries around the world, supporting more than 250 payment methods and 187 currencies around the world.
. The former saves a lot of energy and attracts more merchants and users, while the latter's transaction volume exceeded $60 billion last year and is expected to exceed $100 billion this year!
