Chapter 692: Online Payment Launched
The sweeping popularity of "Legend" can be said to have attracted the attention of many optimistic Internet industry bigwigs. At present, although the mainland's Internet industry is a desert in the eyes of foreigners, there are now many small trees growing in this desert.
For example, Ding Sanshi's NetEase was established in 97, but when NetEase was first established, it was not a game, but a search engine, yes, he took the path of Baidu. Last year, a free mail service and a free domain name system were introduced. This year, "Computer News" is a bit of a taste of wanting to take the road of combining Xinlang and Baidu.
Before "Legend", there was another existence in Chinese online games that had become a god, that is, Zhonglian. In the domestic online game industry, where content is extremely scarce, "Zhonglian" can be said to be the first batch of people to eat crabs, and it has taken away a large piece of the tempting cake.
Therefore, there is the pearl and jade of Zhonglian in the front, and then there is the legendary and hot proof in the back. The bigwigs who have been involved in the Internet industry have focused on games even if they have a good reaction.
Based on the game, gaining a firm foothold and starting to spread to other Internet industries is the first step for Yang Dongxu to prepare to dominate the domestic Internet, and the most important step is instant messaging.
Originally, he wanted to use Yiting technology as a springboard to poach professional programmers from the United States, but after a few contacts, people were not willing to come to China to work, so he could only do it himself.
The chat system in the game, although there is a gap with instant messaging, is undoubtedly a very good way to train the team. And it's an integral part of the game's content.
Therefore, Yang Dongxu plans to do a good job of the in-game communication function of the legendary egg pain first, and start developing instant chat communication software based on this.
Because the legend has become popular, it is bound to the instant messaging software without worrying about the problem of promotion, as long as it is converted, there are more than 100,000 highly active users as the base, and it is directly a big step forward to start developing.
And these more than 100,000 people are undoubtedly like a virus in the computer, spreading the instant chat software from the game to the people who don't play the game, and slowly realizing Yang Dongxu's goal of registering at least one communication chat account for every netizen. By that time, Glorious Sun Technology can become the largest Internet company in China.
However, this matter is not achieved overnight, and it can be done slowly. At present, it is necessary to do a good job of the game "Legend" first, because it now has the opponent of Zhonglian, although the game format is different.
But now there are so many netizens in the mainland who can play games, so you can't play Legends if you play Zhonglian. Therefore, the content of the legend must be done well in order to attract more players to come in, and the trend of competing for players has actually begun.
After arranging the company's affairs, Yang Dongxu and Yu Qipeng, who is now in charge of people's livelihood, sat down for dinner in the evening. Compared with the public's perception of the country's four major banks, the existence of private banks similar to Minsheng, although they are also under the banner of the state, their status in the public's hearts has undoubtedly dropped several notches.
Although Minsheng has been very clear about its positioning at the beginning of its establishment, and has taken many detours compared with other private banks, the speed of development is not very fast, after all, the expansion of infrastructure requires a large amount of money, not to mention that it is also very time-consuming.
"Online payment?" Yu Qipeng looked at Yang Dongxu and frowned.
For one of the shareholders of the bank in front of him, and the youngest shareholder. Yu Qipeng has never despised it, otherwise he would not have come to Yang Dongxu with several other shareholders at the beginning, and he very much hoped that the other party would be able to take a stake in Minsheng.
And Yang Dongxu's performance did not live up to their expectations. Not only injected a large amount of money into Minsheng, but also gave some foreign exchange help, so that Minsheng left other banks far behind from the beginning.
Therefore, Yu Qipeng must think carefully about Yang Dongxu's suggestion, but he really doesn't know about the Internet, so he has doubts about this aspect.
"It's mainly game recharge or transaction payment, I recently opened a game company, launched the first game "Legend", which is currently doing well, and has 200,000 players online.
"Legend" is a paid game, that is, a certain fee is charged according to the length of the game, so the recharge window of the charge I want to connect with Minsheng Bank. ”
"What kind of docking?" Yu Qipeng's eyes lit up when he heard that there were 200,000 users.
Although the base of 20 does not sound like much, after all, China's population of more than one billion, the number of bank users in the hundreds of millions, and 200,000 is at most a drop in the bucket, but if it is 200,000 active users, or even just 10,000 active users, it is a very objective business.
"I will designate Minsheng Bank as the only official bank for Legends players to recharge their deposits. If you want to top up the game, you must apply for a bank card of Minsheng Bank. ”
"Do you have any requirements?" asked Yu Qipeng.
Although Yang Dongxu is a shareholder of Minsheng Bank, it is his responsibility to help the bank expand its business. But looking at Yang Dongxu's attitude at this time, he undoubtedly wants to talk about this matter as a business, a matter of two companies, not simply expanding business as a shareholder of Minsheng Bank.
"Transaction fee waiver. Yang Dongxu didn't beat around the bush and said directly.
Regarding the fact that charging transaction fees is one of the main revenue means of domestic banks, Yang Dongxu does not want to complain about anything. But he felt that he should change something, and it was obviously difficult to start from reality, not to mention that he was just a shareholder of the people's livelihood, even if he was the governor of the central bank and wanted to move this big cake.
"How much is the reduction?" to give some customers certain discounts, which is one of the main attractions of the bank's business expansion, so Yu Qipeng was not too surprised by Yang Dongxu's request.
"Of course, it's better not to charge anything. Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
Yu Qipeng rolled his eyes, obviously saying that you kid is dreaming.
"Seriously, I hope Minsheng doesn't charge any fees in this transaction. ”
"What's in it for people's livelihood?"
"People who play online games and charge money must have a certain economic foundation. Although I am going to make a software for online payment, everyone still feels unreal about online things.
Therefore, gamers will use this software to bind their Minsheng bank cards to charge money to play games, but they will not put money in the software. Therefore......"
Although Yang Dongxu didn't say it, Yu Qipeng already understood. It is "Legend" that can bring tens of thousands of high-quality users to Minsheng Bank, and the price that Minsheng has to pay is that the handling fee is free in the online recharge process.
In this way, it seems that people's livelihood is at a loss, and they still have to calculate interest for users, which means that although these people are high-quality users, they enjoy the same treatment as other users while enjoying the free procedures for game recharge.
"100,000 users a year?" Seeing Yu Qipeng's hesitation, Yang Dongxu continued to speak.
"Huh?" Yu Qipeng raised his eyebrows.
"This year, "Legend" has brought at least 100,000 bank users to Minsheng. Yang Dongxu said very firmly.
Although Legend is a paid game, and everyone has to recharge, not everyone will do a bank card for people's livelihood, for example, the main component of Legend players is Internet café players, and the way they recharge is to find a network manager.
But in terms of the current popularity of the legend, 100,000 people apply for Minsheng bank cards a year, and the purpose is to play this game, which sounds a little unrealistic, but this number is only a lot more in Yang Dongxu's estimate.
"Legends has a good chance of surpassing one million players next year. Yang Dongxu said again.
Yu Qipeng frowned and thought about it seriously, providing services to Yang Dongxu but not charging handling fees, no matter how you look at it, it is a loss for people's livelihood.
From another point of view, people's livelihood still has a profit. For example, even if not all of the 1 million players have a bank card, everyone will definitely know about the bank.
Or to say that Minsheng is a bank, yes, now the people of the country basically only recognize the four major banks, the popularity of private banks is very low, and even many people don't know what Minsheng is for.
To promote the popularity of Minsheng Bank in the way of gamers, and there is no need to pay for advertising, Minsheng is undoubtedly profitable from this aspect.
"I need to think about it and maybe have a shareholder meeting. Yu Qipeng realized that this might be an opportunity for people's livelihood to reach a higher level again, and his face became cautious.
"Okay, but I won't attend the shareholders' meeting to avoid suspicion. Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
In fact, there are some places in this negotiation that he said a little vaguely and did not make it clear, because this is related to the big cake of online payment, although he is a shareholder of Minsheng, but at most it is only to let Minsheng take this express train earlier than other banks, but it is absolutely impossible to let the big cake of online payment out.
Therefore, giving Minsheng an early opportunity is the greatest kindness given by him, a shareholder. If Minsheng doesn't agree to miss it, then he can't be blamed.
When Yang Dongxu and Yu Qipeng were talking about the legendary payment method binding people's livelihood. At the corporate headquarters of Zhonglian World, a group of shareholders frowned.
It was a niche game company in the world of knowledge in the later generations, and was eventually acquired by other companies. But now Zhonglian World is definitely the boss of Internet games, even if it is just a game lobby type online game. It's kind of like the non-mainstream of the online game world.
"Old Bao, what do you think of this "Legend"?" Jian Yang squinted his eyes and swallowed the fog in his mouth.
Recently, Jian Yang actually has a headache, because the negotiations with the telecom side have not been negotiated. At present, telecom charges for broadband mainly by hourly charges.
That's right, now Internet telecommunications are calculated by the hour, even if you are at home on a private computer, you need to pay an hour like going to an Internet café, of course, there are monthly packages or something, but it is also expensive.
