However, although Meituan employees have stopped making a fuss on the surface, they are saying privately that it was because of their fuss that the boss changed his mind. The issue of deducting wages was already under discussion, and it is said that the boss's secretary leaked the information. When someone who is familiar with the boss's secretary asked her quietly, the secretary dodged the question and refused to give a direct answer.
In the end, Wang Xing had no choice but to take out a sum of money from the reserve funds to pay out bonuses and fill the hole in the promotion fee of Huasuan.com. The matter was not over until everyone received their bonuses. Although the bonuses were less than last month's, it was better than nothing.
Within a few days, Meituan's incident became common knowledge in the group-buying industry. While everyone was mocking Meituan, they also gained a better understanding of the fairness of Huasuan.com. After all, Wang Xing was Zhang Yiming's former boss. If even he couldn't get a discount, then other companies had even less reason to complain.
Especially for Wowo Group, they were initially puzzled as to why their advertising on Huasuan.com was not performing well, and even thought that Huasuan.com was cheating them. However, after this incident, they began to believe that it was due to their own shortcomings.
Lin Chen, the instigator, finally met Wang Sicong at the company. Wang Sicong had been out of contact since coming to Shanghai. Looking at Wang Sicong's dark circles and unsteady gait, Lin Chen gritted his teeth with envy.
"Lin Chen, I've been a bit busy these past few days. I have a party tonight, oh no, I mean a meeting."
Lin Chen said speechlessly, "Come on, Brother Cong, don't pretend with me."
"Nonsense, I'm here in Shanghai to start a business."
"Yes, yes, you're right. Let's talk about our careers then."
"I've contacted several talented girls in the past few days, and I've personally interviewed them all. They're very attractive."
"Alright, alright, bro, you don't need to describe the process to me. Let me first explain the general framework of the live streaming platform. We'll each invest 100 million to build the platform and recruit streamers. The platform will be divided into four sections: talent, games, entertainment, and lifestyle. Streamers will sign contracts with the platform, discuss revenue sharing, and then attract viewers to their exclusive live stream rooms. Viewers who find the content interesting can give virtual gifts, and the payment method will be our company's cost-effective payment system. Oh, and I also recently acquired a video beautification company that can be used by these streamers, but it will cost money."
"Video beautification? What's that?"
"Come, I'll show you."
Lin Chen brought Wang Sicong to Ma Surui's office.
"President Lin."
"This is Mr. Wang from Wanda Group. I've brought him here to see your video beautification technology."
"Holy crap, Mr. Wang, I've been seeing you on the news every day lately."
Chen Cheng quickly covered Ma Surui's mouth and said awkwardly, "Let's take a look at the video with the beauty filter."
Next, Chen Cheng turned on the video beautification function on his computer, dialed the test client on another computer, and showed the effect to Wang Sicong after the connection was established.
"Holy crap! Is that handsome guy me? I feel like I can rival Daniel Wu now, Lin Chen, this thing is amazing."
"Haha, Brother Cong, just think about it. When those beautiful female streamers turn on this beauty filter and act cute, won't they bewitch the viewers and make them lose their minds? That'll bring in all the tips!"
"Yes, yes, it's you capitalists who have no conscience."
“Uh, Brother Cong, it seems you’ve included your father in your insults too. He’s a top ten capitalist on the Hurun China Rich List. Compared to him, how dare I call myself a capitalist with my meager assets?”
"By the way, my dad said he wants you to come over for tea sometime."
Lin Chen's eyes lit up. This was great! If this big shot helped him, he would be able to take off instantly.
"Sure, I'll visit Uncle Wang another day."
"Then the company's affairs are settled. You're the professional in terms of technology, so you can handle that. I'll take care of finding streamers. Let me tell you, I really love playing Dota. I'm planning to buy a Dota team to play with, and then I'll have these professional players stream it too."
"Okay, it's decided then."
"I'll transfer the money to you later. I'm leaving now to catch up on some sleep so I'll be energetic tonight."
"Don't leave yet, let's come up with a name for our live streaming platform."
Wang Sicong stopped in his tracks, suddenly thinking of the person he once loved most but who eventually left him.
"How about we call it Panda TV?"
"Okay, let's call it Panda TV."
After Wang Sicong left, Lin Chen went to Zhang Yiming's office and explained the Panda TV platform to him, asking him to assemble a team to build the live streaming website. Finally, Lin Chen added a few more points.
"Mr. Zhang, there's another issue that needs special attention. When designing the website, make sure to prominently display a reminder at the recharge portal that minors are prohibited from making recharges."
"Okay, Mr. Lin, I understand."
"By the way, Mr. Zhang, how's that automatic QR code generation technology I asked you to look into coming along?"
"I've looked into it. It's not difficult to implement; it's just the encoding and decoding process."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work. In the next Mixin update, please add a scan function. Also, from now on, both personal business cards and group chat invitation links in Mixin will be implemented using QR codes."
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
"Oh, right, there's one last thing, about WowoTuan, you know..."
Zhang Yiming gave an OK sign. Of course he understood. There was nothing else to it but to secretly lower the promotion coefficient a little, hehe.
Ah, the familiar QR code is finally coming! QR codes can be said to be one of the important symbols of the mobile internet era. They make mobile phone operation more convenient, and many steps can be easily completed by simply scanning a QR code.
Unfortunately, most companies are still stuck in the PC era and haven't developed mobile applications yet. This is related to the low penetration rate of smartphones. If you develop an application but nobody uses it, what's the point of developing it?
That's why Lin Chen is so actively promoting Xiaomi phones, priced at 1999 yuan, so that everyone can afford a phone. Only when hardware becomes widespread will the era of mobile internet begin sooner.
To be honest, having experienced such a convenient era in his previous life, Lin Chen is still a little unaccustomed to carrying cash when going out now.
With the advent of QR codes and the use of the Huasuan payment app, people will no longer need to carry cash when they go out.
After returning to his office, Lin Chen turned on his computer and started coding. In order to save time, Huasuan Pay had only developed a web version, but now he had to develop an app as well.
Xiaomi phones will be available for purchase in about two weeks. Given that Lin Chen recommended using Huasuan Pay for the purchase at the launch event, some people should start using Huasuan Pay. Later, we can bring in Ele.me and Lashou.com to gradually expand the daily usage of Huasuan Pay and encourage more people to use it.
