Chapter 503 - Foresight or Fortune Telling?
Lu Zhichuan did not return to his office, but followed Pang Rui to Alipay's business group building.
Pang Rui asked the secretary to pour him a cup of tea and let him sit first.
Until this moment, Lu Zhichuan didn't know what he was doing here, and he didn't know what Mr. Pang meant by what he just said, but as Pang Rui brought a document over, everything was revealed.
"What is this?"
"The cooperation agreement between Alipay and the group."
“?”
Lu Zhichuan was stunned for a long time, and then reacted, immediately opened the contract and looked at it for a long time, and finally showed an incredible expression: "October 2009? ”
Pang Rui sat on the chair and nodded very indifferently: "On the National Day in 2009, Alipay has signed a cooperation agreement with the group, we help them provide payment services, and they help us promote our business." ”
"How is this possible......?"
Lu Zhichuan's first reaction was to doubt the authenticity of this agreement.
Alipay in 2009 was really nothing, it could only act as a bridge program when shopping online, and its best function was just to pay phone bills, electricity bills and gas bills online.
However, at that time, the thermal coal system of most communities did not support online payment.
As for the function of paying the phone bill, it also needs to use the U shield to connect, and the recharge time limit is 24 hours, but with this effort, the time for you to go downstairs to buy a recharge card is enough.
Why is this happening?
Because Alipay wants to be a third-party platform, it is equivalent to moving the bank's cake and digging their moat, how can they allow this kind of thing to happen.
Otherwise, how could Boss Ma be angry and shout directly at that time, saying that if the bank does not change, then we will change the bank.
At that time, no one thought that the payment platform could be done, and even their internal employees were skeptical.
But if this contract was really signed in 09, it would be equivalent to the golden cicada not touching the fish when the Buddha was preaching, and a monster started to boil the pot on the westbound road, waiting to fry the Tang monk meat.
Lu Zhichuan is willing to believe that some people have advanced vision, after all, he has worked in Ali for so many years, and he has seen a lot of such people, but he doesn't believe it at all.
"At that time, Alipay couldn't even get a license, and the future was dark, how could he sign a cooperation agreement with Alipay so long in advance?"
"He said he was going to bet with me."
“?”
"During that time, I was on vacation, and he did everything possible to find one of my salesmen and handed me a development plan.
"He is very young, he is really a college student, at that time he was doing a campus forum, that is, Zhihu, he said that in a year, he will do it all over the country, hoping that Alipay can sign a cooperation agreement with the group and join forces."
Pang Rui picked up the teacup and leaned lightly on the back of the chair: "I also told him at the time that if he couldn't get a payment license, Alipay didn't make any sense, but he said that he bet that Alipay could get a license, and he also asked me to bet that he could do it all over the country within a year, so the two of us bet on something that no one had at that time." ”
Lu Zhichuan: "......"
Pang Rui looked at him: "If you win the bet, Alipay can quickly popularize it among college students with the help of Zhihu, if you lose the bet, the agreement will be invalidated, and there will be no loss, if you want to bet, do you bet or not?" ”
"Does he know how to tell fortunes?" Lu Zhichuan suddenly understood what she meant by the terrible sentence just now.
"I thought the same thing at the time, but he said that the torrent of the times is unstoppable, and he doesn't have confidence in Ali, but in this era."
Lu Zhichuan was stunned for a long time, and his eyes were fixed on the two big words "Join the group" on the cover of the agreement.
He doesn't care about the possibility of such a forward-looking vision now, after all, the cooperation agreement is laid out here in black and white.
What he was thinking about now was the end of the handle.com.
Handle's business ability was not as good as the group, and now it even has the idea of escaping from the first-tier cities.
He originally thought that the access of the payment platform would be a turning point, a turning point that could bring Handle.com back to life, but now it seems that it will only accelerate the fall of Handle, and when the time comes, the group will become a unicorn in this market.
【I'm in the final exam】
Lu Zhichuan couldn't help but show a confused expression with a missing brain stem, and finally understood what Pang Rui meant by terrible.
A 20-year-old college student, step by step, has calculated the development of the market.
He used what he didn't have to bet on what others didn't, made a two-year layout, and then at the most critical moment, this layout became his biggest killer weapon, and this killer weapon could have become a weapon that would have killed him.
Some things can't be felt without experiencing them by themselves, and at this moment, he finally understands why Handle, Glutinous Rice and Dianping lost so badly in the group buying market.
"In that case, the handle is about to end."
Pang Rui was silent for a long time with a teacup: "Now it's not a matter of holding hands and feet, it's the value of the group that far exceeds the estimate, even if Ali doesn't buy shares, he will become a strategic partner with the group." ”
Lu Zhichuan looked at her: "Mr. Pang thinks that the group will be the final winner?" ”
"If you've ever seen a person, twenty years old, laid out everything two years in advance, and fulfilled them one by one, you'd feel the same way......"
At this time, Jiang Qin didn't know what happened to Ali, he was chasing a five-cent steel hammer out of the door of the teaching building, and when he saw that it was about to fall into the sewer, he rushed over and snapped it down
Then, he bought an old popsicle with the five-cent coin at the store in front of the door, and for a while.
The final exam was real, he had just finished the exam, but it was indeed a reason to prevaricate that Manager Lu.
Because he is not short of money now, he doesn't want to be involved with a group like Alibaba.
After all, compared with these Internet giants, the group is much smaller, and sometimes being weak is a kind of original sin, or don't contact, if you want to contact, it is likely that there will be something beyond your own plan.
Jiang Qin made the popsicle smooth and round, and said in his heart, who would have thought that a popular fried chicken in the Internet business would eat such an unpretentious old popsicle.
At this time, Cao Guangyu also came out of the teaching building, and looked at Jiang Qin, who was expressionless, and suddenly laughed: "What's wrong?" You can't take the test, right? ”
"It's not about the exam, it's Ali who wants to send me money, but I don't want it, but I don't know how not to hurt and refuse, what do you say, young master?"
“……”
Jiang Qin showed a bright smile, not caring about Young Master Cao's life or death at all, and then saw Feng Nanshu walk out of the hall and immediately beckoned.
Feng Nanshu ran over all the way, stuffed his hand into his hand, and whispered a word to his brother.
followed by Gao Wenhui and Wang Haini, who opened their mouths to go to 207 to rub the air conditioner, relying on Feng Nanshu's best friend, they didn't see anything at all.
Then a few people went to the canteen to buy food, and then went to the entrepreneurial base.
The temperature in this hot summer has been above 30 degrees, and I can't sleep on a hot nap, since I have been to 207, who wants to go back to the dormitory.
The three girls sat cross-legged on the newly bought carpet, watching "Palace" in the TV series intently, saying that they wanted to review well and all the materials they brought were all set aside.
"This theme song is so good, what's it called?"
"It seems to be the suicide of love, and then ask for offerings."
“……”
"Who do you say Harukawa likes?"
"The Eight Sages."
Gao Wenhuisheng looked back at Jiang Qin without love: "I said Mr. Jiang, how can there be eight sage kings here?" ”
Jiang Qin's mouth was crooked, and he said in his heart, "Can I still be reborn? Unless he looked at the string, but at this moment, his mobile phone suddenly began to vibrate again, and the caller was an unfamiliar number, which showed deep city.
He guessed for a moment and thought that maybe it was Tencent, so he reached out and pressed the answer button.
As expected, the other party claimed to be the manager of Tencent's investment department, named Peng Sheng, which was similar to Ali Lu Zhichuan's rhetoric.
Jiang Qin adheres to the principle of being able to do what he can and never offend the big guy, and he also talks back and forth, but he does not answer some key issues, but when the other party says "when there is a chance to cooperate", he expressed a positive attitude.
"The funds for the group are still enough, thank you for your concern, but we may have other opportunities for cooperation."
"Oh? What is Mr. Jiang referring to? ”
Jiang Qin coughed: "Our Zhihu is the largest campus forum in the country, with tens of millions of student users, I heard that you have a communication service application called WeChat, you can come to our Zhihu to do promotion." ”
Peng Sheng thought for a moment: "When will Mr. Jiang come to Shencheng, we can talk in detail?" ”
"I should have the opportunity to go once in the last two months."
"Well, I will sweep the couch to greet you."
Jiang Qin thought for a moment, and then spoke again: "Mr. Peng, I still have a question. ”
Peng Sheng's voice came out of the earpiece: "Mr. Jiang, please speak." ”
"Does Mr. Ma have a daughter?"
"Huh? I have a daughter. ”
"Oh, is her birthday June 22nd?"
"This ...... Probably not. ”
Jiang Qin nodded, hung up the phone, and glanced at the QQ message sent by a high school classmate: Today is the birthday of Ma Huateng's daughter, forward this message to ten groups, you can get a free one-month membership.
"Don't mess around, I just asked, today is not his daughter's birthday!"
Boss Jiang typed a line of words back to the past, with an arrogant expression.
Tencent and Ali have been playing against each other, whether it is an e-commerce platform or a group buying industry, the two companies are pinching very hard.
In particular, the follow-up WeChat payment can be said to have really shaken the foundation of Alibaba and directly invaded Alibaba's ecological layout.
Jiang Qin doesn't like to participate in this kind of melee for others, but now that he has been targeted, he might as well be a left-right and right-go-to-be, and then see if there is anything cheap to take advantage of.
