Reborn in 1984: Starting with the Development of the Chinese Character Card, Chapter 355: Alipay Charity. Uber's development speed is truly too fast, making other competitors hesitate.

Everyone knows that ride-hailing services are a hot trend, but in reality, there are not many companies and investors who dare to get involved in this market.

More than 99% of investment institutions prefer to invest in Uber.

...

...

As the year draws to a close, Uber's rapid growth and breakthroughs have astonished the world, and the surge in users is undoubtedly due to the rapid increase in new smartphone users.

To date, the number of smartphone users worldwide has exceeded 920 million, with 480 million users in China alone.

New ride-hailing apps and bike-sharing services have emerged in the market, leading to fierce competition, but none of them can shake the position of Uber and Qingju Bike.

In the Chinese mainland market, food delivery apps are emerging one after another, and the competition is fierce, with a trend of a thousand-group war emerging. However, Meituan still holds the dominant position.

Competition drives development. China's development speed in the mobile internet field has far surpassed that of foreign countries, which is quite impressive from this perspective.

Not to be outdone, Alipay updated its app and launched four major charitable businesses: education, healthcare, poverty relief and disaster relief, and humanities and nature, with many sub-projects under each business option.

Given Zhao Ye's personality, if he's going to do something, he'll do it to the best of his ability.

Alipay has invested tremendous human and material resources in philanthropy, aiming to develop and expand Alipay's philanthropic endeavors and become the world's largest charitable organization.

On December 1st, while updating its app, Wujiang Group announced that it would donate 300 billion RMB to Alipay's charity projects.

This news is truly shocking.

300 billion RMB is an astronomical figure.

Besides Wujiang Group, what other company in the world could come up with such a thing?

However, this is not difficult for Wujiang Group.

The exchange rate between the US dollar and the Chinese yuan has now dropped to 1:5, meaning that 300 billion yuan is only 600 US dollars.

It's worth noting that since the advent of smartphones, Wujiang Group has been making a fortune, with mobile phone manufacturers all over the world working for Wujiang Group.

Furthermore, Chinese companies can deduct money from their taxes.

Given the size of Wujiang Group, the amount of tax deductions alone would be enormous.

Alipay's launch of its charity business was already a sensation, but Wujiang Group's donation of 300 billion RMB has made Alipay's charity a household name in China.

Who has ever heard of a company donating 300 billion yuan these days?

I simply can't believe it!

This time, Alipay's charity initiative has been a resounding success. Under the guidance of Wujiang Group, people across the country have enthusiastically participated in charitable activities, opening the Alipay app and selecting suitable charitable projects.

The threshold for charitable donations is very low, starting from one yuan.

It doesn't matter how much money you have, as long as the sentiment is there.

Zhao Ye didn't actually expect donations from everyone. To be honest, the amount of money that ordinary people could donate was not much, probably less than one-tenth of the vast amount donated by Wujiang Group.

Zhao Ye opened the donation channel on Alipay mainly to encourage participation and cultivate compassion among the public.

"Wujiang Group's donation of 300 billion yuan to charity is truly admirable. I wouldn't be exaggerating to call it the most conscientious company of our time, would I? I'm just an ordinary worker, and although I don't have much money, I'm willing to do my part to help others! So, I've decided to donate one month's salary to those in need! Love knows no bounds, and virtue endures forever! If everyone gives a little love, the world will become a better place!!!" A netizen commented on their Weibo.

This Weibo post attracted countless likes, comments, and reposts from netizens.

Subsequently, more and more people online began to share their charitable acts.

What surprised Zhao Ye even more was that major domestic companies successively expressed their intention to donate to Alipay's charity platform.

Haier donated 100 million yuan, Gree donated 100 million yuan, Huawei donated 100 million yuan, and so on...

At this moment, many celebrities in China are also actively donating money. They have no choice but to donate; what would their fans think if they didn't?

The hype is there, we have to jump on the bandwagon...

Of course, there are still quite a few celebrities who are stingy and unwilling to donate even a few hundred thousand yuan. They can easily earn tens of millions of yuan a year, but they are not willing to donate even a few hundred thousand yuan.

Of course, not donating is one's right, while donating is a matter of righteousness and there is nothing wrong with it. Zhao Ye will not use morality to coerce others.

Therefore, Zhao Ye's media platforms did not expose or criticize those who did not donate.

However, Wujiang Group will not have any collaborations with these celebrities.

With Alipay Charity receiving so many donations, it's only natural to take immediate action.

Knowing about the major earthquake in 2008, Zhao Ye's immediate priority was to build earthquake-resistant schools and warehouses in the area. These warehouses could store ample supplies, ensuring timely and sufficient logistical support for disaster relief.

Generally speaking, after an earthquake, roads are blocked, making it difficult to transport supplies to the disaster area. Therefore, building disaster relief material warehouses locally is a good option.

They've found an excuse: Wujiang Group is investing in building large chain supermarkets and chain pharmacies in Sichuan, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to build a few warehouses to store things, right?

Zhao Ye wanted to warn everyone that there was an earthquake, but who would believe him?

Making irresponsible statements that cause public panic is a crime.
