Just as Lin Chen was answering netizens' questions, An Rou cautiously walked out of the room and went to the toilet by hugging the wall. However, she was still spotted by sharp-eyed netizens. A beautiful woman wearing hot pants with a stunning figure appeared behind Lin Chen.
The comments section suddenly went wild.
"Ahhh, Lin Gou, you've been keeping a mistress!"
"Let go of that girl, let me handle this!"
"Lin Gou, we agreed to stay single together, how could you go back on your word?"
Lin Chen looked at the barrage of comments that suddenly filled the entire screen, turned his head and saw An Rou nodding at him shyly.
I guess he couldn't hold it in any longer; everyone has to go to the bathroom sometimes, there's no way around it.
"Ahem, everyone, don't misunderstand, that's my sister."
Upon seeing Lin Chen's explanation, the tone of the comments section instantly changed.
"Hey, you should have said so earlier, brother-in-law, it's all a misunderstanding."
"Damn it, brother-in-law, President Lin, they're all bad people, only I'm a good person. Please let my sister consider me."
“I heard all your schemes from my home in Tomson Riviera in Shanghai, Mr. Lin. I’ll bring betrothal gifts to visit you another day.”
Lin Chen's lips twitched as he looked at the comments.
"Let's get back to business. Does anyone have any questions about QR code payment? If not, I'll end the broadcast now. Thank you all for your support of Xingchen Technology."
Lin Chen looked at the screen full of his brother-in-law's faces, sighed, and ended the broadcast immediately.
After compiling the private messages from the backend, Lin Chen organized the data into a table and sent it to Fatty, asking him to customize the equipment. Then, Lin Chen shut down the computer.
An Rou walked over apologetically: "Did I interrupt your live stream?"
"It's okay, I've said everything I needed to say, so I can end the broadcast early."
Lin Chen stared at An Rou, who was wearing tank tops and hot pants, not knowing where to look.
An Rou seemed to realize something as well, and blushed as she said, "Then I'm going to sleep. Goodnight."
After saying that, he went back to his room. Lin Chen let out a breath, sat on the sofa for a while to calm his little brother down, and then went to take a shower and go to bed.
Soon, QR code payments began to spread everywhere, and many stores that needed to give change posted QR codes for payment. There's no way around it; everyone knows how troublesome it is to give change, and it's not easy to exchange small change. You can't get change every time you go to the bank.
Consumers seem to like this model. They don't need to carry cash anymore, which is convenient, and they won't lose money or end up in the embarrassing situation of receiving a bunch of coins as change and their pants falling down.
In particular, many domestic chain stores have ordered card-swiping devices from Huasuan.com, such as KFC, McDonald's, and Bickey Mouse.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Chen asked Zhang Yiming to upgrade MiXin as well, adding Huasuan Pay directly to MiXin so that Huasuan Pay could be used directly when opening MiXin.
Moreover, it allows for money transfers between friends, just like Alipay.
From then on, Mixin integrated two major functional modules: social networking and payment. Moreover, unlike Alipay, which is primarily associated with payment and security, Mixin is primarily associated with chatting and nearby... ahem, social networking.
Huasuan Pay quickly surpassed Alipay in market share, becoming the number one in the industry.
When Jack Ma saw the report, he almost fainted. He immediately convened a meeting with Alipay's top management, demanding that they follow up on QR code payments immediately and simultaneously promote the development of Alipay's social features.
At the end of July, relevant departments announced the first batch of companies that obtained third-party payment licenses, including Alipay, Tenpay, and Huasuan Payment.
As some companies made the list, others didn't. After the list was released, Huasuan Pay announced a new policy: all companies can apply to Xingchen Technology to integrate Huasuan Pay into their consumer platforms, provided that the company operates legally and compliantly.
In an instant, Huasuan.com's reputation soared once again. What a great company! Although they knew that integrating Huasuan Pay would incur certain transaction fees, the company would go bankrupt if they didn't.
No wonder they're number one in the payment industry; they have vision.
Alipay is currently busy organizing teams to promote Alipay QR code payments door-to-door, so it doesn't have time to deal with these issues. Once the transaction fees are reduced a bit, these merchants will naturally come to it.
However, Jack Ma discovered that door-to-door sales were not very effective because Huasuan Pay had launched its in-store QR code ordering service a long time ago, and many merchants were already using Huasuan Pay at that time. Therefore, when Huasuan Pay launched QR code payment, they readily accepted it.
Because they had already downloaded the Huasuan Pay app on their phones and linked their bank accounts, they knew the operation process very well.
Even more so, food delivery services also use the Huasuan payment method.
Huasuan Pay even thoughtfully provided them with a billing statistics function, clearly showing the revenue from in-store purchases, takeout, and QR code payments each month.
If we give them another payment app, we'll have to spend time doing the statistics at the end of the month, which is too much trouble. No need.
With no other option, Alipay had to continue lowering transaction fees and even give away QR code scanning devices for free, which finally convinced some merchants to use Alipay.
Sigh, after being the leader in the payment industry for so many years, Alipay has never felt so frustrated.
Who would have thought that a kitchen knife used in the fight between group-buying websites could stab me, an online shopping professional, in the thigh?
What Lin Chen did next left Alipay completely baffled.
Lin Chen made a phone call to Wang Sicong.
"Brother Cong, where are we having the party?"
"Hey, how did you know I was having a party? I disguised myself really well this time; the paparazzi didn't even notice."
Lin Chen thought to himself, "If you're not throwing parties, what else could you be doing? I can figure that out even with my toes."
But he said, "Haha, I was just guessing. By the way, Brother Cong, do you own shares in Wanda Cinemas?"
"Yeah, one percent, so what?"
"My payment platform wants to collaborate with Wanda Cinemas to create an online ticketing system. If you want to watch a movie, you can simply select and pay for the tickets on the payment platform, generate a QR code, and then scan the code to enter the theater."
"Sounds good. I think it has potential. Okay, I'll bring it up tomorrow. It shouldn't be a big problem."
"Okay, then you can continue."
A week later, Huasuan.com and Wanda Cinemas simultaneously released announcements on their official Weibo accounts, declaring a strategic partnership. This allows users to purchase Wanda Cinemas movie tickets directly on Huasuan.com and enter the cinema by scanning a QR code.
The announcement immediately became a trending topic.
With keywords like "Huasuan.com" and "Wanda," it would be hard for them not to trend on social media.
Netizens have expressed their delight at this collaboration, saying that after dining out, they no longer need to carry cash to watch movies. Will hotels be the next step?
