Chapter 150 Zhang Zhidong

……

Early in the morning, after Guo Shouyun opened his eyes and looked at Molly Bevan, who was still asleep in his arms, he gently pulled his arm out from under her neck. Slowly got out of bed, covered his lover with a gown, put on his clothes lightly, opened the door and walked out.

"Good morning, boss!"

Matthew Bloom greeted him respectfully.

"Good morning!" After tidying up the clothes on his body, he beckoned to the other party, "Let's go!"

Matthew, who knew Guo Shouyun's habits, nodded, and the two of them walked out of the room and towards the hotel's gym.

"Have you done what you did yesterday?" asked Guo Shouyun as he walked on the road.

"I saw the man's car go into the Richmond Manor of the Westmarton Manor!"

"Simaden Manor?"

"Yes!" Matthew nodded affirmatively.

"So this person's background shouldn't be difficult to check!"

"I have inquired from the mouths of the people around me that the Simadon Manor belongs to Baron Oliver Barin, the heir to the Count Cromer branch of the Bahrain family!"

"Oliver Balin, a member of the Bahrain family?" Guo Shouyun frowned.

"Yes!"

"It's really unexpected. ”

Guo Shouyun doesn't know much about the Bahraini family. In addition to the 'Bank of Bahrain bankruptcy' that caused a sensation all over the world in the last century, it was this family who personally handled the astonishing transaction between the United States and France in the 18th century about 'Louisiana'. This unprecedented land sale nearly doubled the size of the United States at that time. In any American history textbook, this is an event that cannot be left unmentioned.

Bahrain, this is a family with an illustrious history, at its peak they were comparable to Rothschild, and of course now they are in decline like the Rothschilds. However, there is a saying that 'the hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen', and the collapse of the Bank of Bahrain does not mean that the family has really disappeared. There is no family that does not know how to diversify risk, and the Bank of Bahrain is not the whole of the Bahrain family.

"Boss, I spotted David Hayman on the way to track Oliver Balin!"

"David Heyman, does he know Oliver Barin?" Guo Shouyun was surprised.

"I'm afraid it's not just the acquaintance, but the relationship between them is very close. I saw them leave the hotel in the same car. ”

"That's interesting!"

Guo Shouyun touched his chin, and his eyes became deep.

Matthew hesitated for a moment, "Boss, David Hemman already has a grudge against us, and now with the addition of Oliver Balin, I'm afraid our situation will be even more unfavorable!"

"With the addition of a Bahraini family, David Heyman has also become the climate. However, 'the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth', and we are not soft persimmons now!" patted Matthew's shoulder with a confident expression, "Let's go, we're here!"

Matthew nodded and followed Guo Shouyun out of the elevator. While walking out of Matthew's sight, Guo Shouyun's expression instantly became gloomy. Although he had to be calm and calm in front of his subordinates to give them confidence, he knew that the hostility of an old family, even if it was a declining old family, was not so easy to bear. What's more, Bahrain is no ordinary family.

Seeing that the gym had appeared in front of him, Guo Shouyun temporarily put his troubles behind. No matter how much energy Bahrain still has. There is no room for retreat from matters concerning the dignity of men!

As a five-star hotel, Hilton naturally has a good gym. Although there are not many things, the decoration and equipment are extremely high-end.

Although it's still very early. But there are already a lot of guests here who are sweating it out. To Guo Shouyun's surprise, there was also a familiar figure among them.

"Hey, Zhidong, you're here too?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Zhidong hurriedly held the treadmill and turned around, "Boss, are you also here to exercise?"

"Yes, I have developed a habit for many years, I must run for half an hour every morning, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable!" Guo Shouyun walked over with a smile, "What about you?"

"I'm the same, I'm used to running in college, and if I don't run, I always feel that something is not done, and I feel very uncomfortable!"

"So we're quite similar!By the way, why didn't you see the old horse, aren't you two in the same room?"

"I guess he hasn't gotten up yet! He's a man who has a lot to worry about, and he doesn't sleep well. Zhang Zhidong said with a smile.

Guo Shouyun nodded, and after pressing a few times on the treadmill next to him, he chatted as he walked: "What about you, did you sleep well last night?"

"It's okay!"

"Looks like I didn't sleep well... Something on your mind?"

Glancing at him, Zhang Zhidong nodded after a slight hesitation, "I've been thinking about the development plan about Tencent that you mentioned yesterday, and all kinds of thoughts popped up in my head, I was nervous and excited, and I slept late!"

"It's the same with the old horse, right?" Guo Shouyun smiled.

"He excitedly pulled me to chat for half the night, and he must have slept late when he went back. Otherwise, he would have gone for a morning jog with me. ”

Guo Shouyun nodded, adjusted the speed of the treadmill to a gear of seven kilometers per hour, and jogged.

"What are your thoughts on yesterday's plans?"

"There are a lot of ideas, but they are not systematic! There is no clue about the construction and detailed development strategy of the Internet and music website you mentioned!"

"What about wireless value-added services?" Guo Shouyun nodded and continued.

"Lao Ma has worked in communication systems before, so he knows a little bit about it. ”

After nodding, Guo Shouyun was silent for a moment and said, "Zhidong, have you considered jumping out of Tencent?"

Zhang Zhidong was stunned, "I don't understand what you mean!"

"I'm going to set up a new Internet company in Huaxia, and I want you to be the CEO!" Guo Shouyun didn't mince words.

In later generations, Tencent developed so hugely, as a partner and CEO, Zhang Zhidong contributed a lot. For such top talents, Guo Shouyun is also extremely eager. As for Tencent, it is enough to have Ma Huateng.

"But I...!"

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse. Listen to me before you make a decision?"

Zhang Zhidong nodded after a slight hesitation.

"The new business I founded is called 'PayPal', and the main service it provides is 'third-party payment'! similar to PayPal in the United States!"

"PayPal? isn't that your company?"

After glancing at him, Guo Shouyun smiled and said, "It seems that you know me quite well!"

"Of course. After all, I don't want to be fired because I don't know the boss!" Zhang Zhidong said humorously.

"I'm very precious to a talent like you, so I'm willing to fire you!" After the two of them showed their value and appreciation for each other, Guo Shouyun continued, "Okay, let's get down to business." Now that you know PayPal, I'll skip the talk. To put it simply, PayPal is the Chinese version of PayPal. The features and services of both are similar. The ultimate goal and purpose is to provide buyers and sellers with a security guarantee that they can trust each other when conducting online transactions!"

Zhang Zhidong thought for a moment and nodded, "Why don't you put PayPal under Tencent and NetEase, especially NetEase, this third-party payment channel guarantee is especially important for it to enter e-commerce in the future!"

His wisdom and vision surprised Guo Shouyun a little. Looking at Zhang Zhidong's inquiring eyes, Guo Shouyun organized the language in his heart, "As I said earlier, third-party payment is to provide a security guarantee of mutual trust between buyers and sellers when conducting online transactions. And buyers and sellers are more than just two sides of e-commerce. Rather, it encompasses all business activities in the whole society. For example: water, electricity and gas property costs, train tickets and air ticket purchases, medical bills, and even bank loans and credit card payments, etc.!"

"It's... Is it really possible?"

Zhang Zhidong was a little shocked. Guo Shouyun's words include almost all commercial activities in the whole society, and the scope is too large.

"Of course it's possible! With the development of third-party payments. In the next 15~20 years, we will enter a truly cashless society. More than 90% of business activities are transferred and paid through the Internet, and the platform that completes this is 'third-party payment'!"

After being dumbfounded for a long time, Zhang Zhidong took a deep breath and shook his head slightly.

"It's just too big for me to imagine. Moreover, with the current state of development in China, a cashless society is too far away! In addition, if the society really enters a cashless state, as you said, then the state will probably not allow such enterprises to be controlled by private individuals!"

Guo Shouyun, who has experience in the previous life, understands that China's cashless society is coming faster than any other country in the world. But now he doesn't plan to introduce more. After all, this is beyond the imagination of too many people, and if you talk too much, it feels like 'introducing aliens' is unreliable.

"A cashless society is not far off. As for the national side.... Guo Shouyun smiled, "Now the tolerance of the top leadership in China surpasses the whole world. Moreover, in the state of reform and opening up, do you think the state will make such a move of compulsory public ownership reform? This will only worsen China's investment environment and be detrimental to the country's development. As for benefit-sharing, it is necessary. Whether in China or the United States, or even the world. If a company wants to grow, it is impossible to keep its own one-third of an acre. Only by attracting more allies can we grow up more smoothly. ”

"Benefit sharing, risk sharing?" Zhang Zhidong said thoughtfully.

"Not bad!" Guo Shouyun nodded.

After a moment of silence, "Then Tencent and NetEase will also introduce other investors in the future?"

"Of course!" Guo Shouyun replied affirmatively, "Just like you said: benefit sharing, risk sharing." If Tencent and NetEase want to develop bigger, they naturally need more people and institutions to share the risks on the road to development for us!"
