Chapter 997: See Lisboa
The Portuguese Emperor, who was not tall and had a strong face, found a time to meet Zhou Shi, the purpose was simple, he just invited Zhou Shi to invest in Erross.
"I don't have this plan anytime soon!" Zhou Shi said bluntly
"Why?" Portugal obviously didn't expect Zhou Shi to respond like this, he was not polite at all, he was the head of a country!
"Investing is all about purpose, and we discussed whether or not to invest in Erross, but after all considerations, we chose to give up. The market size of Erross is not large, but the risks are too great. We are already making small-scale investments, but large-scale investments are not currently on our radar!"
"You're very bold!"
"I have always had a lot of respect for the Emperor and I don't want to find a reason to prevaricate. ”
"Erros didn't attract you?"
"There are a lot of them, but I can't do them well!" Zhou Shi
"Is there anything else in this world that can stump you?"
"What I can do is not to make something out of nothing, but to make a difference after someone else has laid the groundwork. In other words, I can only compete in an orderly market economy environment, and I can't grow in those markets with major flaws. ”
"Erros's environment is so bad?"
"There is no way to reconcile the conflict between the lighthouse country and Erross in the short term, and there is even a great possibility of aggravation, which is first; Erross is not friendly to Chinese businessmen, and cannot even be treated fairly, this is second; second, there is not enough credibility ......"
"Not good enough?"
"We have a small drinking water company, and around 2013 we wanted to build a factory on the side of Lake Baikal in Rosros, and we signed a contract with the local court in accordance with the formalities, but we have not been able to build a formal operation until now. Although the plant is small and has little impact on us, we did our research for future investment in Ross, and we didn't expect to get an explanation that seemed outrageous to us, because there was a local entrepreneur there who also had a water plant, and he didn't want to see a competitor. So he struck us!
It's a small matter, but it can be seen that if we want to develop in Erros, if we go the normal way, there is probably no hope. Because our competitors are good at solving problems by unconventional means. But our corporate culture requires us to follow the rules in everything, and we can use the rules to do things that are beneficial to the company, such as tax avoidance, but we can't do things that violate local laws......" Zhou Shi
"You did an investigation in Erros?"
"We commissioned local university students, consulting firms and our own team to investigate several industries from three perspectives, and the results were different, but they did not have much impact on our final judgment. Zhou Shi said, and took out a document, in Russian.
Portugal browsed it, but didn't look closely.
"So you're not going to invest in Erros?"
"I will definitely go to Erros to invest, and it is a big investment, but there are more important things to deal with at present, the strength of our team is limited, and now the market environment of Erross is not mature enough, and it may take more time to wait for the conditions to be ripe!" Zhou Shi
"What conditions do you want?"
"The Emperor should ask us what kind of investment we want to make first, right?" Zhou Shi
"......" Portugal
"The Emperor knows about the plan to digitize India! We cooperate with the Indian government to implement their plan, and there may be many surprises......" Zhou Shi
"Can you reveal something?"
"It's hard to say what they did, but I can talk about what Time is going to do
Time is ready to promote a cashless society around the world, preferably directly into mobile online payments.
If the Emperor has time, he can experience the mobile online payment jointly promoted by Time and Ahri in Huaxia, and our goal is to use mobile payment in every consumption scene in Huaxia, so as to eliminate cash and reduce all kinds of troubles caused by cash transactions......" Zhou Shi
"I've also considered a cashless society, but it's too difficult to achieve!"
"Maybe it's not as difficult as you think!" Zhou Shi
"Is there any good way for you?"
"We can try to demonstrate!" Zhou Shi didn't know how much the Portuguese Emperor knew about mobile online payment, anyway, there is no country in the world except China that has such a popular mobile online payment as ours.
"Alright!"
After taking out two mobile phones and installing Alipay and WeChat respectively, Zhou Shi showed him how to use WeChat Alipay to pay and receive money.
"We can use WeChat payment to collect money, which can be individuals or businesses, and we can also print the collection code into stickers and post them where payment is needed. If necessary, this collection code can be printed out by Time Company and mailed to them. For consumers and merchants who use mobile online payments, if they use a smartphone with internet access, their cost of use can even be negative because we can reduce the cost of use for them. "Zhou Shi
The Emperor of Portugal tried with two mobile phones.
"Actually, it may not be intuitive for me to say this, the emperor can go to any corner of Yanjing city life to try, and now there is almost no place where WeChat payment cannot be used.
Every transaction of mobile online payment can be traced, that is, you can know the time and place of each transaction and the information of both parties to the transaction. If you go further, you can also keep the content of both parties to the transaction in each transaction, so that once there is a transaction dispute, it can be well resolved. It is not so easy to evade taxes and enjoy money. "Zhou Shi
"It's really a great step forward, are they technically difficult?"
"Any small Internet company can do it, technology is not a problem, but the promotion of mobile payment is not a technical problem...... Zhou Shi
"Well, it's a market problem!"
The problem of money laundering and tax evasion is very serious, and in 09 years, a large market where smugglers gathered was closed because of "gray customs clearance", and many Chinese businessmen were seriously damaged. At that time, this incident caused an uproar in domestic public opinion, believing that this was Erross's discrimination against Huaxia. But if you understand the concept of "gray customs clearance", you will know that those businessmen evade more than half of the tariffs through false declarations, false declarations and other means. What else can be said on the premise that they have already broken the law? Not to mention money laundering, it is almost an open secret that senior officials of Ross have a lot of overseas wealth, and they are even threatened by the lighthouse state to freeze their wealth overseas.
Time's mobile payment can improve this situation, and the role of mobile payment is not only to provide a convenient payment method for the public. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Rebirth of the Post-80s Legend Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
