This left Lin Chen somewhat dumbfounded. No, I've already robbed you guys of 60 million. Although it's a bit less, it's still free money after all.
But you guys actually went and snatched food from other people's bowls, that's a bit... Thai pants spicy!
However, while they were working on fixing the overseas version of TikTok, the 60 million yuan red envelope giveaway in China had already been exhausted. They couldn't possibly get the money back from the users.
Lin Chen had a sudden inspiration.
Isn't there still 40 million?
It wasn't initially agreed that both the Koreans and the young people would receive 20 million each.
However, the promise made to the officials of both countries must be kept, and the promised 8888 super prize must still be awarded.
Five minutes later, the activity resumed.
Domestic Douyin users were surprised to find that the red envelope rain was back! Wait, why is there an NG (no good) when the money is being distributed? What are you waiting for? Start grabbing!
Those Chinese netizens who had previously bypassed the Great Firewall to grab red envelopes hadn't even had a chance to come back before they discovered the event had resumed.
But what happened? I tried to grab several red envelopes in a row, and they were all empty? Lin Gou, are you kidding me?
Then, they cursed and shut down their VPN and opened the Chinese version of TikTok.
Luckily, I was quick enough to grab a few red envelopes. Although they were only a few cents or a few dollars, it was better than nothing.
As soon as the event ended, they heard that domestic users had tried to snag the item twice, and they were exasperated again.
But they weren't the most emos. The most emos were the Korean and Xiao Rizi Douyin users, because they discovered that apart from the few 8888 grand prizes, everyone else got nothing from this red envelope giveaway.
A netizen commented: "Damn it, I didn't even get a single cent! What a waste of my data!"
A Korean netizen commented: "Damn it, I just saw a post from a Chinese netizen. They all managed to snag a lot of money, and they even snagged it twice!"
A Chinese netizen commented: "What's wrong with grabbing it twice? Last time, we didn't get any red envelopes, only you guys did. What's wrong with compensating us this time?"
After the event ended, Douyin officially announced who won the 8888 super grand prize.
Three Koreans, seven little days, ten Celestial Empires!
The compulsion party said, "Now I feel better."
Korean and Chinese netizens had no objections, and the international dispute was thus resolved.
All three kingdoms were very satisfied with the result.
Lin Chen was also very satisfied. Anyway, he didn't have to pay any money himself, and he could also advertise for Douyin and fight for some benefits for Chinese netizens. Such a good thing, he would invite me again next time!
After these two "red envelope rain" events, the total balance in the overseas versions of Huasuan Pay in both countries has seen a significant increase.
What is the most difficult thing about developing a third-party payment software?
The hardest part is getting users to spend money to use the service for the first time!
No matter how eloquently you present it, users have a natural sense of wariness when it comes to taking money out of their own pockets.
You can deceive my feelings, but you can't deceive me out of my money!
But once you have money in your third-party payment app, and after using it, you find that it works quite well and is quite safe, you've built trust.
Once a foundation of trust is established, there won't be as much psychological defensiveness when depositing money into the account again.
After the second or third time, people will completely trust the third-party payment software, deposit more money into it, and use more functions.
The "red envelope rain" campaign directly helped users overcome the most difficult first step.
If you're afraid to deposit money into it because you're worried about safety, then I'll just give you money directly so you can spend it and experience it for yourself.
And that's exactly what happened. Many Koreans and ordinary people thought, why not grab a free red envelope? What if I win the 8888 grand prize? Anyway, there's no cost involved. So, they all downloaded and registered for the overseas version of Huasuan Pay.
The first "red envelope rain" event did indeed bring benefits to many people, with some having a few yuan, a dozen yuan, or even tens or hundreds of yuan in their Alipay wallets.
If you put this money in the "Affordable Payment" section and don't use it, it's like you didn't even get a chance to participate in the "Red Envelope Rain."
But once you use it and complete the first transaction, you've already stepped into this open conspiracy.
Sure enough, a few days after the red envelope rain event ended, the recharge volume of Huasuan Pay's overseas version suddenly increased, and many of them were recharges by new users.
This made those banking capitalists extremely envious.
Are they really going to throw money in front of the bank building? Won't people think they're crazy?
Gradually, the user base of Huasuan Pay's overseas version has grown larger and larger, covering more than half of the population in South Korea and Japan.
Zhang Yiming was overjoyed when he saw the data.
"Boss, going abroad is like picking up money. If I had known, I wouldn't have fought to the death with these old bastards in China. I would have just gone to Korea and made money off them, and then Sister Wang would have come back."
"Hehe, Lao Zhang, did you get the order backwards? You think it's easy to make money off the Koreans and the poor? That's because we've grown big and strong, and we have the country backing us up, which is why we can compete with them over there. If we were still a small country, we would have been eaten to pieces long ago."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yiming gave an awkward smile.
"Hehe, that's why you say you're the boss; you really see things clearly."
"Stop flattering me, let's prepare for the next step of the plan."
"Boss, are you sure you want to do this? Doing so would mean officially starting a war with the bank capitalists."
"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of? So what if they're bank capitalists? If there's profit to be made, they'll come running to us."
A week later, the overseas version of Huasuan Pay was suddenly updated, and a new Huasuan Wealth Management feature page was added.
When Korean netizens saw it, they were a little confused. What is this thing?
So they all clicked in to take a look.
"Huh? You can buy financial products with Huasuan Pay now?"
"Should I use Douyin coins to buy it? But Douyin coins can't be withdrawn, so what's the point of buying them for investment?"
"No, look, the update announcement says that there are two modes for buying wealth management products. One is the Douyin Coin mode, which uses Douyin Coins to buy wealth management products, but the resulting returns are returned in cash and can be withdrawn! The second mode is the cash mode, which uses real currency to buy wealth management products and can be withdrawn normally."
"Wow, this is great! Sometimes I have extra Douyin coins in my payment account, but I can't use them right away, which is really awkward. Now it's great, I can even use them to buy financial products."
“I just went in and checked. There’s only one investment product inside right now, called Huasuanbao.”
"I saw it too. This Huasuanbao looks pretty good. You can buy anytime and withdraw cash anytime, and the interest rate looks quite good."
