Chapter 259 WeChat Pay is launched, and Lao Liu Catering is fully promoted!

The outside world is speculating about the wealth of Mr. Liu of the Liu Group.

On March 15, the bad news came unexpectedly and reasonably, Liu Xiahui's grandmother suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and after rescue failed, she died on the same day.

The reason why it is unexpected and reasonable is because in the previous life, Liu Xiahui's grandmother died of a cerebral hemorrhage this year, and Liu Xia Hui has hired a private doctor for the old people, and from time to time he will do a full body examination.

But in the end, he still couldn't escape the arrangement of fate, and his grandmother still died at the beginning of this year at the age of 79.

At this age, it is already a rare longevity in ancient times, even in modern times, it is actually qualified to be called longevity, looking at the entire Qinghe Village, there are really not many people who can live to be over seventy years old.

Many of them died of illness in their fifties and sixties.

In her previous life, her grandmother left suddenly, which made Liu Shita Hui sad for a while.

Experiencing such a thing again in this life, Liu Xiahui's ability to bear it has greatly increased.

After all, he can be regarded as a human being in two lives, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has died once, and death is not as unbearable as in his previous life.

Next, Liu Xiahui asked someone to do the ritual for three days and three nights, and then gave his grandmother a beautiful funeral.

When it was a certainty, even if he had the same experience once, Liu Xiahui still couldn't help but cry for a long time, the death of this kind of blood relatives, no matter how open-minded people were, they would inevitably be sad.

When my grandmother was buried in my previous life, it was basically a person from their branch who was buried in the funeral, and they were all relatives who did not wear five clothes.

However, in this life, not only people surnamed Liu from Qinghe Village came to the funeral, but even the entire Bainiu Town had an unknown number of people who spontaneously came to the funeral.

Coupled with relatives and friends, the funeral procession reached an astonishing 20,000 people.

You must know that there are more than 40,000 people in the entire Bainiu Town, and it can be said that in addition to the elderly and children, 90% of the families have sent representatives to the funeral, which is really amazing.

It can be said that this funeral can be regarded as a precedent for the funeral of Bainiu Town.

According to the customs and habits of Bainiu Town, people are basically buried on the mountain after death, and the funeral procession of more than 20,000 people is really terrifying, and the mountain simply can't accommodate so many people.

Therefore, many people just followed the funeral procession to the foot of the mountain, and did not follow.

More than 20,000 people set up more than 2,000 tables, and the banquet was placed from Liu Xiahui's villa to the roadside, as well as the large open space in front of the ancestral hall, and the place where the banquet could be placed on a large scale was requisitioned.

As for the tables and chairs, the villagers of Qinghe Village took the initiative to move the tables and chairs from their own homes, and these were arranged properly without Liu Xiahui's orders.

This funeral was done unprecedentedly, and even many old people in the village were envious when they saw it, if they could have this treatment after they died, it would be to let them die now, and they could die without regrets!

After finishing his grandmother's funeral, for the next month or so, Liu Xiahui stayed in his hometown to accompany the elders, according to the fate of his previous life, in the next few years, several elders who did not come out of five clothes passed away one after another.

In fact, there are really not many old people who really die, and nine times out of ten they actually die of illness.

In this regard, Liu Xia Hui can only find the best doctor for these elders, but in fact, he understands in his heart that several elders in his previous life have incurable diseases, even if the best doctor is invited, the best result is nothing more than a few more years.

Understand and understand, but the personnel who should be done must still be done.

......

In the blink of an eye, it is May.

On May 26, Alipay and the company obtained the first batch of third-party payment licenses issued by the central bank.

On the same day, the version already had 30 million registered users.

This version update adds the function of shaking and sweeping, and also adds support for the Chinese traditional language interface like Q Letter, and adds mobile phone numbers for users in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, the United States, and Japan.

The most important thing is that WeChat Moments has also been launched.

Of course, the most important thing is that WeChat Pay is finally officially launched.

Also on this day, Liu's Group's Laoliu fast food chain, Laoliu spicy crayfish chain, Laoliu seafood restaurant chain, Laoliu beef bone soup chain, Laoliu ace pigeon soup chain, Laoliu roast duck chain, Laoliu roast goose chain, Laoliu white cut chain, Laoliu night snack chain, the world's first Chinese restaurant, the world's first Western restaurant and many other industries, all enabled WeChat payment function.

All restaurant chains put out advertisements that have been printed for a long time as soon as possible.

......

Hu Lijuan is 25 years old and a typical urban white-collar worker.

After getting off work at noon, Hu Lijuan came to the company's downstairs Lao Liu fast food, she is a loyal eater of this fast food, since Lao Liu fast food opened downstairs in their company, her lunch has never changed places.

As soon as she walked to the door of Lao Liu's fast food, Hu Lijuan saw the huge billboard standing at the entrance, with the six big words "Thanksgiving Feedback Activity" written directly above the billboard, and the content below is as follows:

"In order to thank all new and old customers for their support to our store, we are now holding a thanksgiving activity, from now until the end of this month, customers can enjoy a 20% discount when using WeChat Pay to checkout, and the first time you use WeChat Pay can enjoy the lowest 5% discount!

The opportunity is not to be lost, the time will not come, I hope that all new and old customers can tell each other.

Finally, thank you for your support and wish you all a happy meal!"

After reading the content of the billboard, Hu Lijuan couldn't help but look at the waitress standing next to the billboard and asked, "Hello, I want to ask what this WeChat payment is?"

The waitress smiled and said, "Hello, have you ever used WeChat?"

Hu Lijuan nodded and said, "Of course I have used WeChat, but I have never heard of this WeChat payment!"

The waitress smiled: "It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because this is a new feature that WeChat just launched today, you can see it if you upgrade your WeChat version!"

Hu Lijuan was surprised: "It turns out that WeChat has been updated, I was busy with work and didn't pay attention to it, I'll update it first!"

While speaking, Hu Lijuan took out a brand-new Apple 4 mobile phone from her shoulder bag and skillfully connected to mobile data.

Seeing this, the waitress hurriedly said: "Beauty, our store has now opened WiFi, you can connect and use it, the WiFi is called Lao Liu Fast Food, and the password is 12345678." ”

Hu Lijuan was pleasantly surprised and said, "Your store can be connected to WiFi? That's great!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly turned off her mobile data, then began to connect to WiFi, and only opened WeChat after the operation was complete.

At this time, WeChat prompts whether to update, which must be needless to say, click Update.

Soon, after the WeChat update was completed, Hu Lijuan began to familiarize herself with the updated version.

The waitress introduced next to her: "You click on me at the bottom right, you can see the word payment, which has two functions: payment and wallet, and there are also two functions in this payment and payment, one is the payment code to pay to the merchant."

For example, when you order and check out, you can show this payment code, and we can scan it with a code scanner here, and you can check out directly. And this QR code collection, if your family and friends want to transfer money to you, you can use WeChat's scan function to scan this QR code, and then enter the transfer amount and payment password, and you can transfer the money to you. ”

Hu Lijuan listened to the waitress explain, while operating, and asked, "Then if I show this payment code to checkout, where will the money be deducted?"

The waitress explained: "You can deduct it directly from your WeChat wallet, or you can bind your credit card and other bank cards, and then deduct it from your credit card or bank card!"

When Hu Lijuan heard this, she frowned and said, "Is it safe to deduct it directly from a credit card or bank card?"

The waitress smiled: "Don't worry, there are prompts for this collection and payment, don't worry about security, as long as you keep your mobile phone and don't show the payment code to strangers to scan, there will be no problem." ”

The conversation between the two also attracted the attention of other diners, and at this time there were already several people gathered here, and when they heard the waitress say this, someone immediately asked: "If the phone is dropped or stolen, how can the funds be safed?"

The waitress said: "Don't worry about this, now smartphones can generally set up password locks, even if the phone does not have a password lock, then WeChat Pay can also set a gesture password."

As long as you set the gesture password in advance, you need to verify the gesture password when entering the WeChat payment interface, even if the phone is really dropped or stolen, others don't know your gesture password, and there is no way to enter the payment interface.

Even if someone can crack the gesture password, it will take a certain amount of time, as long as you log in to your WeChat with the mobile phone of a family or friend within this time, or call the WeChat staff to contact, you can well protect the safety of your funds!"

Everyone nodded again and again, and then the diners on WeChat began to tie cards on the spot according to the guidance of the waitress. And diners who don't have WeChat can't wait to start downloading and registering WeChat, and then also start tying cards on the spot.

As for diners who don't have smartphones, they can only watch with envy.

Hu Lijuan was the first to tie a card, she first tied a credit card, and then under the guidance of the waitress, she scanned the code to receive a five-fold coupon, and then rushed over to order.

After ordering a super luxurious package, Hu Lijuan showed the WeChat payment code to the waiter in charge of collecting money according to what the waitress taught just now, and only heard a dripping sound, prompting that the payment was successful.

Hu Lijuan looked at the deduction prompt on the payment interface, just like Columbus discovered the New World, this payment method is too convenient, you don't need to bring a wallet when you come here for lunch in the future, just bring a mobile phone to scan the code.

With Hu Lijuan's successful payment, other diners who have completed the card binding also began to come to order and pay.

As a result, many diners have gained insight today, and they have to give money to find money, wasting a lot of time, while other diners take their mobile phones and put them in front of the cashier, and the cashier takes the code scanner and scans it, and the payment is completed.

Needless to say, no money, no change, just a sweep and easy to get.

Such a convenient payment method is naturally something that many people want to experience.

What's more, with this payment method, you can get a 5% discount on the first successful payment, and you can get an 8% discount until the end of the month, which can save at least dozens of dollars for frequent diners.

This visible benefit immediately attracted countless diners, as long as they have smartphones, they basically download and register WeChat, and then tie the card to pay to enjoy discounts.

For diners who have downloaded and registered WeChat, it is even simpler, and they can directly bind the card to pay, and they can enjoy this discount that ordinary people can't enjoy.

At the same time, they all can't wait to share the good news with their relatives and friends.

Hu Lijuan, the first to pay successfully with a WeChat payment code, was eating delicious fast food while calling relatives, friends and colleagues one by one.

Other diners are no exception, and after they really get the benefits, they can't help but want to inform their relatives and friends.

As a result, at least dozens of diners join the ranks of WeChat Pay every day in this Laoliu fast food store.

Nationwide, the number of Laoliu fast food stores has now exceeded 4,000.

In other words, more than 100,000 diners join WeChat Pay every day.

In addition to Laoliu fast food, there are also other chain restaurants under the Liu's Group, almost all of which have launched similar activities, such as the world's first Chinese restaurant, the world's first western restaurant, Laoliu seafood restaurant chain and other high-end restaurants, the discount is naturally much smaller.

9% off for the first payment and 95% off for the current month, which is attractive enough.

Liu's Group has tens of thousands of restaurant chain stores, and the daily customer flow exceeds 10 million levels, and the WeChat Pay discount activity has caused a huge response once it was launched, and the registered users of WeChat began to skyrocket in an instant, and the users of WeChat Pay are developing at the speed of light.

On the first day alone, the number of registered WeChat users increased by more than one million, and the number of card-bound users of WeChat Pay skyrocketed from zero to more than two million.

By the end of this month's event, the total number of registered users of WeChat has directly exceeded 40 million, and the number of card-bound users of WeChat Pay has reached a terrifying 18 million.

It's incredible how far we've gotten to this point in just a few days.

Tencent was stunned!

Ali was also stunned!

Tencent's Q letter registered users, since the end of last year, have been biting the tail of WeChat, although has not yet used the technology of corner overtaking, but the entire Tencent executives are convinced, with their Tencent in the social volume and heritage, Q letter surpasses WeChat and replaces it is only a matter of time!

But who would have thought, WeChat has been calm for a few months, and if you don't make a move, it will be a shock!

This version, every function launched, is a classic among the classics, and what Tencent didn't expect is that WeChat is not only engaged in mobile social networking, but also focuses on the field of mobile payment.

As soon as this WeChat payment came out, especially the scanning code payment function of the magic pen of the QR code for receipt and payment, it simply opened a new door to mobile payment for everyone.

At the same time, Tencent was shocked, and their hearts were also extremely hot, they have actually wanted to enter the payment field, but unfortunately the performance of QQ wallet and Tenpay is not good, and the entire third-party payment field is completely dominated by Alipay.

But now WeChat's QR code collection and payment function has made Tencent finally see hope.

As a result, under Mr. Ma's order, Tencent's R&D department began to work overtime to develop the QR code collection and payment function of Q Letter, as well as the functions of Shake, Scan, and Circle of Friends of Q Letter.

As for whether they will be scolded for plagiarism by doing this, it is not a matter for Tencent, they have long been used to it!

When Tencent's R&D department began to engage in R&D nervously, Mr. Ma, who breathed a long sigh of relief because Alipay had just obtained a third-party payment license, frowned at this time, feeling a headache for WeChat Pay, a sudden opponent.

Although Alipay was a dominant company in the payment field at this time, as early as the end of last year, the number of registered users was as high as 550 million.

However, what makes Mr. Ma a headache is that almost all of the 550 million registered users are PC users, while the number of mobile users can be said to be pitiful.

With Mr. Ma's vision, it can naturally be seen that the next is the era of mobile Internet, and if you can't keep up with the times, you will be abandoned by the times as soon as possible.

Therefore, since last year, Mr. Ma has begun to consciously develop in the direction of mobile Internet.

How to transfer Alipay's PC users to mobile is a problem that Mr. Ma has been thinking about.

In his previous life, it wasn't until 2013 that Mr. Ma came up with a simple and crude idea, that is, Alipay's PC transfer is charged, while the mobile transfer is free.

As soon as this idea came out, although it caused a strong backlash from users, as the saying goes, it is very honest to say that you don't want to be physical, and from the data point of view, the end users still flow quickly from the PC side to the mobile side.

And now it's only 2011, and 2013 is still two years away.

From last year to this year, most of Mr. Ma's thoughts were on how to withdraw Alipay from Ali and set up a special company to obtain a third-party payment license, which is indeed a top priority for Mr. Ma.

After all, this third-party payment license has not been obtained, so the nature of Alipay's funds has not been determined, this is a bomb that may explode at any time, and Mr. Ma really can't pay too much attention to it.

Anyway, Alipay has no opponents in the field of payment, PC users can slowly turn to the mobile terminal, Ma always has time, naturally solve the most important things first.

But who would have thought, just solved the third-party payment license, and before I had time to breathe a sigh of relief, WeChat began to set foot in the field of mobile payment in a very high-profile manner, and launched the blockbuster weapon of WeChat payment.

If there is a wallet or Tenpay, then Mr. Ma doesn't even look at it, but the key is that WeChat Pay launched the barcode function before Alipay.

And this function, which WeChat calls the QR code for collection and payment, is more complete and perfect than the barcode scanning function that Alipay has developed and is testing.

No, once WeChat Pay was launched, it became a dominant company in the field of mobile payment in just a few days, leaving Alipay far behind, which made Mr. Ma really anxious.

In particular, Mr. Ma knew that WeChat was created by Mr. Liu of Liu's Group, the most outstanding young man of our time, and he rushed to Hangzhou City to meet him last year, expressing his desire to invest in Alipay.

It's a pity that Alipay is now one of Mr. Ma's lifeblood, and has been upgraded to a strategic-level weapon.

Therefore, Mr. Ma rejected the young man's request to buy shares.

Mr. Ma forgot about this in a blink of an eye.

It wasn't until two months later that the release of WeChat, a mobile social software, made Mr. Ma pay attention to the young man again, but he didn't expect that the young man who had been engaged in catering suddenly set foot in the social field.

And the social field,There is no doubt that Tencent cannot afford to lose,This young man engages in mobile social software,Tencent will definitely not sit idly by,A big war is inevitable。

At that time, to be honest, Mr. Ma still had some mentality of watching a play.

Ali and Tencent are both Internet hegemons, although a core is in e-commerce, a core is in social networking, but the competition between the two sides is everywhere, and now someone can add some trouble to Tencent, Ma is always happy to see.

And the result was not as expected by Mr. Ma, and then Tencent developed the letter with the fastest speed, and then the two sides competed in the field of mobile social networking.

From last year to this year, the number of registered users on both sides is getting closer and closer, if WeChat does not have any other big moves, then there is QQ this behemoth behind the support of Q letter, this year to surpass WeChat should have no suspense.

However, Mr. Ma really never dreamed that after the central bank issued the WeChat third-party payment license, WeChat updated the version on the same day, and then launched the big killer of WeChat payment.

Moreover, it can be seen from the promotion of WeChat payment that WeChat has been prepared for a long time, and when the third-party payment license is in hand, the promotion plan can be launched instantly.

This series of operations really caught Mr. Ma off guard.

Even, Mr. Ma had a ridiculous idea in his heart, he knew that the young man had such ideas in the field of mobile payment, and he should have let him invest in Alipay last year.

Of course, it's too late to say anything now, the young man can't become a shareholder, and has decided to go down in person to engage in mobile payment, what Mr. Ma needs to do now is to quickly improve Alipay's barcode scanning function, launch the same QR code for collection and payment as WeChat payment, and then find a way to transfer Alipay's PC users to the mobile terminal.

Otherwise, the pitiful number of users on Alipay's mobile terminal alone really can't do WeChat Pay, which has a very fierce development momentum.

As a result, under the order of Mr. Ma, Alipay's R&D department, like Tencent, began to work overtime day and night for research and development.

At the same time, Mr. Ma also sent elite soldiers to start discussing cooperation with offline merchants, and when Alipay's QR code for payment was developed, he would carry out offline promotion as soon as possible.
