Chapter 707 - Online Payment 2.0 Plan (1st Update)
Brother Xiaoma, who single-handedly founded Tencent and led it through difficult years, looks elegant on the outside, but in fact he is also a decisive and resolute hero.
The launch of the QQ7-day membership card, in addition to his already a bit of a picky character, there is a deeper reason, good things can't be taken out at once.
If WeChat can grab the market share of Youxin, Brother Ma doesn't mind giving away some Q coins.
However, this Q coin is also learned, and Tencent, who is well versed in this, has achieved this kind of marketing to the point of perfection.
For example, in the past, when Penguin launched its own games, it often engaged in similar gimmicks: players would give away a corresponding amount of Q coins as many levels as they advanced.
However, when players reach the corresponding level, they will find that getting Q Coins is special and can only purchase the value-added services of this game.
Players shouted that they had been deceived and denounced the penguin as being shameless.
If this step doesn't work at that time, Pony will use the last hole card to give away some real Q coins.
In just a moment, various thoughts flashed through Huang Ming's mind. In order for WeChat to gain a foothold in the market as soon as possible, he is eager to give away real Q coins immediately
But this matter can only be done by Brother Xiaoma, otherwise Mr. Zhang will definitely kill himself.
The bigger the company, the less intrigue there will be, but the boss is like the emperor of a country, he is willing to see the intrigue between his subordinates, fighting for power and profit, rather than being monolithic.
Brother Xiao Ma glanced at Huang Ming meaningfully and said: "Xiao Huang, I know your thoughts, I want to do a good job of WeChat, but these hole cards cannot be used at one time, they need to be gradual, but I can guarantee one thing." I am bound to win this battle, and I will not give up as easily as Weibo. ”
Huang Ming nodded cautiously, he didn't understand the importance of WeChat, it was even related to the company's layout in the entire mobile Internet.
After he left, Brother Xiao Ma made a pot of tea and put it to his lips and tasted it slowly, but his face was still full of grimness.
"If WeChat loses, Tencent can only be a game company with peace of mind. ”
......
China World Trade Center Phase 3 is now the tallest building in Yanjing and the city's landmark, with 80 floors. Construction began in June 2005, topped out in November 2007, and officially opened in December 2010.
In the evening, the opening ceremony was held in the splendid Grand Ballroom, where the scene was crowded with celebrities.
Lei Jun, as one of the few business tycoons in Yanjing, was also invited, and Liu Yun happened to be in Yanjing these days, and under his recommendation, he easily passed the qualification review.
The 80th floor of the "Tallest Bar in Beijing" and the 79th floor of the "Highest Restaurant in Beijing" are two of the most popular venues in the building.
The 79th-floor restaurant design is similar to the revolving restaurant at the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai. As long as the public is willing to spend a little more, they can feel the open vision and comfort of eating and drinking coffee at an altitude of more than 300 meters.
When you're condescending, sitting in a comfy chair in a dining room looking down at the bustling city at night, you get the illusion that you're working hard to make money just to enjoy the moment, or that you're a successful person too.
"Mr. Liu, look. Rebus took a sip of red wine from his glass, waved his hand, and said with a smile, "Today, almost all the celebrities in Yanjing have gathered, and of course there are people from other places. “
Liu Yun saw an old acquaintance, Liu Qidong, the boss of JD.com, and his partner, Zhang Lei of Hillhouse Capital.
But this time, the two simply nodded and did not communicate in depth.
When Jingdong raised the second round of financing, Dongge did not inform Liu Yun, this was the first time that the two sides had a gap;Soon, at the Internet conference not long after, Liu Yun did not inform Dongge, and directly imported Tmall into the third-party service program of Youxin, and appeared on the side of Jingdong in a grand manner, which was regarded as his counterattack.
Liu Qidong looked at Liu Yun in the distance, and then at Lei Jun beside him, and sighed secretly.
These two guys are very beautiful now, especially in the past few days, Xiaomi Mi 1 is selling well, and many media are even more praised for Liu Yun's high wind and bright festival.
As a competitor, he put aside his personal interests and resolutely helped the other party to stand on the platform, and considered the problem from the height of the entire Huaxia smart phone.
With such a hand, his reputation and face have been replaced by him, and there are many hidden benefits.
"Lao Liu, it seems that the one who is yours still has resistance to you. Zhang Lei walked up to Liu Qidong and whispered.
"Well, I can tell. Liu Qidong nodded helplessly, and did not deny the estrangement between the two.
But for these industry bigwigs, whether it is cooperation or confrontation, there is only one reason for this: "profit".
"Lao Liu, I remember that when Liu Yun came to Yanjing, he often came to meet you. Zhang Lei said in a deep voice, "But now it's different, he basically only came to Yanjing to find Lei Jun, and he didn't even inform you." ”
Obviously, these inadvertent actions just show that the relationship between the two is getting more and more sparse.
Maybe he thinks he can get more rewards from Lei Jun. Liu Qian sighed helplessly, "Yoyo's focus is on smartphones, and our JD is in e-commerce." Liu Yun may think that with JD.com's stock, it is enough to sit back and wait for appreciation. ”
Zhang Lei squinted his eyes slightly and said: "I remember that Tencent will launch WeChat soon, and then they should also import Jingdong into their third-party programs, which is the same as Youxin." For you guys, it's nice to have one more traffic channel. ”
At the mention of Youxin, Liu Qidong's face became inexplicably complicated.
According to the latest statistics, after the introduction of Tmall into the third-party service program, netizens clicked on these two e-commerce websites through this platform, and the click rate of Tmall was much higher than that of JD.com.
This made him angry and helpless.
Unlike Tencent, which really wants to try something in the field of e-commerce, Yoyo's demand for the field of e-commerce does not seem to be so great, and they care more about the layout of the social field.
Liu Qidong couldn't see through Liu Yun, and felt that this was a guy who didn't play cards according to the routine. In his opinion, Liu Yun only agreed to Ma Yun to introduce the program's program into Uxin's third-party services in order to obtain the payment right of Uxin on the Tmall website.
"This kind of behavior is like losing watermelons and picking up sesame seeds. He shook his head, "Maybe Liu Yun, who is young and ambitious, and has already stood at the top of the business world, is rich and willful, and in order to take revenge on me, he would rather lose money than gamble?"
Zhang Lei saw Liu Qidong's somewhat gloomy face, so he said: "Mr. Ma of Tencent is an ambitious and far-sighted boss, and we should actually deepen the cooperation with him." ”
Liu Qidong glanced at Zhang Lei with some complications, and suddenly thought of an idea in his heart: Jingdong's second round of financing, without notifying Liu Yun's idea, was this guy and Brother Xiao Ma planning together?
Forget it, it's already here, so I don't care about that.
"Mr. Liu, there are a few of my business partners over there, take you to meet me. ”
"Okay. ”
......
The opening ceremony of the third phase of the International Trade Center was attended by celebrities. But the celebrities who come here are not just for an opening ceremony.
Many people hope to use this platform to expand their networks and business resources, in short, the successful people who come here have their own scheming.
As the founder of Yoyo and ranked among the top three on the list of China's richest people at the age of 25, Liu Yun is famous, and there is an endless stream of people who come to talk to him, but there is one guy who caught his attention, he is now Ren Deqi, the president of the Bank of Communications.
Before Uxin introduced Tmall, Uxin's payment function was only limited to Yoyo's products, and cooperating with Tmall was the first step in their outward expansion.
Since this step has been taken, it is like opening a bow without turning back, and you can only move forward bravely.
During this time, he had been thinking about how to take the second step, and after seeing the president of the Bank of Communications, he felt that the opportunity had come.
At this point in time at the end of 2010, online payments were a new phenomenon, but they will grow at a very rapid pace in the coming years.
For today's major state-owned banks, this is like an unknown flood beast, bringing no idea whether it is good or bad.
Therefore, most of them are still conservative and cautious about online payments.
Liu Yun has been thinking about how to take this second step, and even thought about whether to follow behind Ali and let the other party attack the city and enjoy the fruits of victory directly.
"I could have done it a different way. He suddenly had an idea, and he quickly made up his mind, "Hello, President Ren." ”
The two briefly shook hands and began to talk.
"Mr. Liu, you've been making a lot of moves lately. Ren Deqi said with a smile, "Although Apple is in a state of excellence in today's smartphone market, in the market of about 3,000 yuan, domestic mobile phones led by YOYO have held this field." ”
Liu Yun smiled: "It should be." A few years ago, the days when the four major foreign manufacturers monopolized the Chinese market are gone. ”
These four foreign manufacturers refer to Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, and Sony.
Today, it seems that only Samsung is still strong. Of course, the emergence of the Apple mobile phone is another matter.
"The speed of mobile Internet development is too fast. Ren Deqi sighed lightly, and the words changed, "It's only been one year, and the changes brought about have a sense of earth-shaking." ”
Liu Yun's heart moved, and he immediately picked up the topic: "It's really fast." The development speed of the PC Internet in three years has not caught up with the mobile Internet in one year. ”
Ren Deqi looked at Liu Yun and said with a smile: "Since the beginning of the mobile Internet era for a year, I personally think that the best product is your company's Youxin. Our internal staff of Bank of Communications have also established a > for the convenience of work contact
Liu Yun also replied with a smile: "It's easier to use than the QQ group, right?"
After hearing this, Ren Deqi shook his finger and smiled: "Mr. Liu, there is really yours, at this time, don't forget to ridicule your old opponent." ”
Liu Yun shrugged his shoulders, smiled, and continued: "The opportunity in the mobile Internet era is not only a huge opportunity for us Internet companies, but also for banks. ”
"Oh?" Ren Deqi, who was also an old Jianghu, showed an intriguing smile, "Mr. Liu is referring to online payment." ”
Executives at several major banks know that Alibaba is now at the forefront, wanting to gain more authority for online payments.
It is impossible for Yoyo, who is also a giant in the industry, not to know this news, and it is impossible to have no ideas.
"I always remember the rapid development of online payments, which has also benefited from the decentralization and support of major state-owned banks. ”
"Mr. Liu is too polite. ”
"I understand your caution, though. After all, financial security is the top priority of banks. ”
Liu Yun only mentioned one core problem, and also consciously avoided another core problem, online payment is likely to seize the bank's market business.
Ren Deqi nodded approvingly. He replied: "Indeed, the security of online payment is the most important consideration for several of our banks. ”
He also wisely avoided another core question, after all, such a topic is not suitable for such a public forum, as long as you know it in your heart.
Liu Yun put the wine glass to his mouth, took a sip of tea, and smiled indifferently: "Bank of Communications' credit card business has always been good and is well recognized by the market. ”
Ren Deqi was a little puzzled why Liu Yun suddenly mentioned this matter, and asked: "Yes, the credit card is a bright spot of our bank." ”
Liu Yun flashed his eyes and suddenly said, "I'm wondering if I want to add a new highlight to Youxin, the function of repaying the credit card." ”
