Chapter 509 Maybe we can merge and group together!
"Mr. Chen, Robin has gone to Yongcheng."
"?"
Chen Jiaxin was sitting at her desk drinking coffee. After hearing this, her reaction was the same as Yang Xueyu's just now. She was stunned and found it a little difficult to understand.
Lashou.com currently has only three general managers, namely Luo Ping, Robin and Kang Jingtao.
Luo Ping now helps Lashou manage second- and third-tier cities in the north, while Kang Jingtao cut off his family's roots in Shenzhen and was directly demoted to Xingcheng.
Only Robin was left, and he was left in Kyoto to manage the group buying business.
It's bad enough that Lashou.com's business in Kyoto is in a state of decline, but Robin also suddenly went to the South, which is totally abnormal.
"He is leaving now, is he planning to give all his business in Kyoto to Pintuan?"
Yang Xueyu shook his head: "I'm not sure what they want to do."
Chen Jiaxin put down her teacup and looked out the window: "Nuomi, Lashou, Wowotuan, and us, the four first-tier group buying websites were forced to drive away two of them, and we and Wowotuan are also struggling to hold on."
“…”
If Chen Jiaxin hadn't said this, Yang Xueyu might not have thought so, but if you really think about it carefully, it is indeed true.
After the group buying market became popular, there were as many as 6,000 group buying websites registered and operated, but so far only a handful of them have been able to gain a foothold in first-tier cities.
Apart from Suixintuan, which died first, there are only four other companies: Lashou.com, Nuomi.com, Dianping.com, and Wowotuan.
At that time, group buying was still unknown and not even in the second or third tier. It could only be classified as a "college student group buying website."
As a result, after half a year of careful and cautious progress, they forced Nuomi and Lashou to flee in panic.
The remaining two companies, Dianping in Kyoto and WoWotuan in Yuecheng, have also been pushed to the brink of the cliff step by step by group buying.
“It seems that in another six months, group buying may even unify the first-tier markets across the country.”
"Really? But I always feel that Lashou's secret retreat this time is a bit strange. It doesn't seem like their style."
Chen Jiaxin stood up and paced back and forth, then said, "Lashou is good at quick battles and likes to poach people everywhere. Their style is very aggressive. Now that the city gates haven't been lost yet, they actually ran away?"
Yang Xueyu thought for a moment: "Maybe he has learned from the lessons in Shanghai and Shenzhen? He doesn't want to lose to Jiang Qin too much again?"
"No, I always feel like there's something else going on here."
Yang Xueyu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly recalled some details: "When I was talking to Robin on the phone just now, I didn't feel that he was very depressed. Instead, he seemed a little proud. This is quite strange."
Chen Jiaxin looked at her: "Could it be related to Ali? Didn't they go to Hangzhou some time ago?"
“…”
Three minutes later, Chen Jiaxin and Yang Xueyu's eyes were fixed on the computer screen.
They didn't do much research, just randomly searched Alibaba, and then saw a lot of news about Alipay.
Alipay, UnionPay Business, Tenpay... A total of 27 companies obtained payment licenses issued by the central bank at the end of May, allowing third-party non-bank companies to conduct payment business for the first time.
In an interview, Ms. Pang Rui, CEO of Alipay, expressed her gratitude for the trust and recognition of the central bank. Under the guidance of the central bank, Alipay will build a safe, open, orderly and convenient mobile payment platform.
After seeing this message, the two fell silent instantly.
"No wonder LaShou dared to give up Kyoto and grab the second and third tier markets in the south..."
"It turns out that they wanted to avoid the encirclement and suppression of group buying, preserve their strength, sink into the market, and then wait for Alipay's business to go online before quickly coming back."
"This is not a technical barrier, this is a policy barrier."
“Group buying is a big hassle.”
Chen Jiaxin let go of the mouse and leaned back in her chair in silence for a long time before she realized the coming storm. She immediately called the boss of Dianping.
The boss of Dianping first praised Chen Jiaxin's cleverness, and then told him that he was now at Tencent's headquarters in Shenzhen.
"At the end of September, the mobile version of Tenpay will launch a quick payment service. As long as you bind your bank card and perform two-factor verification, you can make payments."
"By that time, our app will be almost developed, and the technical team will directly integrate the mobile payment terminal into it."
“This may be an opportunity for us to turn the tables and dominate the market, but we must keep a low profile in the early stages.”
Hearing this, Chen Jiaxin was instantly relieved, then hung up the phone and shared the news with Yang Xueyu.
Tenpay is a third-party payment platform developed by Tencent in 2005. However, due to limitations in technology, policies and network conditions, it is more like a Q coin recharge tool.
Now that it has also obtained a payment license, it will definitely enter the mobile payment field immediately to seize the opportunity.
After all, payment software can be said to be the foundation of Internet commerce, and big companies like Tencent will not be willing to give up this trend.
Today's group buying websites still rely on PCs and online banking tools, but when mobile payments open up payment channels, users can directly use their mobile phones to buy coupons. The difference is really huge.
From this perspective, group buying is doomed to fail! Because Internet business itself is developing rapidly in the direction of convenient life, which is why group buying websites have become popular.
When you become the most inconvenient option, you are destined to be eliminated by the market.
In other words, their biggest rival, the group buying group that has been oppressing them to the point of suffocation, is about to collapse, because it does not have any big Internet company with a payment license to back it up.
"But Mr. Chen, it will take time for mobile payment to become popular."
“That’s right, but the first cities to be popularized will definitely be first-tier cities, and big companies are willing to spend money on this. All the main business areas of group buying are in first-tier cities, so it will definitely collapse within half a year.”
“But if that time comes, group buying will most likely accept investment from large companies.”
"Then it can't escape the fate of being acquired. Who knows, maybe we will be the ones to be acquired in the end?"
Chen Jiaxin and Yang Xueyu looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly they felt their shoulders become very relaxed, as if a mountain had suddenly been moved away.
They settled in Shanghai and were beaten up by the gangs. When they returned to Kyoto, their legs were spread open and they were stabbed inside again.
Along the way, group buying has bullied both men and women, but they could never have imagined that they would soon become the biggest bubble in the group buying market due to the rapid changes of the times.
"Mr. Chen, should we learn from Lashou and start expanding into second- and third-tier cities?"
Yang Xueyu thought of a key issue at this time.
"This must be done, but we can't give up on Kyoto."
Chen Jiaxin pursed her lips and said, "Even if group buying is the first to leave the market due to payment restrictions, we still need to compete with Lashou in the future, so we can't lose the first-tier cities. This way, at least we can be one step faster."
Yang Xueyu took a deep breath and said, "I wonder if Jiang Qin will break out in a sweat when he hears this news."
At the same time, in Hongrong Home, the sun had already set towards the west, and bursts of noise were coming from the opposite side.
Looking out the window, there is a festive red across the street, and you can even hear the noise.
At this moment, Jiang Qin was sitting in the room. He sneezed three times in one second and didn't know who was talking about him.
Then he received a call from Yuan Youqin, asking him if he had finished his work and whether he could come over to join in the fun.
Boss Jiang thought to himself, what's so great about a wedding? I don't envy them, so he locked the door and ran over.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The bride won't arrive until tomorrow morning, so tonight's main task is to decorate the bridal chamber. As soon as Jiang Qin went upstairs, he saw his third uncle and fourth uncle smoking at the door, making the entire corridor look like a fairyland.
"Jiang Qin, are you here to look for your wife? You little brat, you can't leave for even a moment."
"Uncle, I don't like what you said at all. Have you ever thought that you might have lost a very wealthy client?"
The third uncle pursed his lips, took out a cigarette and put it on the butt: "You only buy salt and vinegar, not as much as your family buys."
Jiang Qin snatched his cigarette away in a flash: "Smoke less, smoking is harmful to your health!"
"You little bastard..."
Jiang Qinmai walked into the groom's house, put out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can, then saw Feng Nanshu standing in the living room, staring at Yuan Youqin who was helping to make the wedding bed with her relatives with her beautiful eyes, without blinking.
There were also a few young people in the groom's family, who were probably friends of some kind. They couldn't help but glance at the delicate face of the rich young woman, and then they whispered to each other.
There's nothing we can do. This little succubus is just too pretty and attracts lots of attention.
At this moment, a young man wearing glasses seemed to be unable to hold back. He took a deep breath, then walked towards Feng Nanshu with his mobile phone, probably wanting to ask for contact information.
Jiang Qin narrowed his eyes, took aim, and then tripped over his right foot with his left foot. He stumbled forward and accurately knocked the man with glasses back, causing his phone to fall to the ground.
"Oh my god, sorry, sorry."
"What are you doing? Don't you have eyes when you walk?"
The person who was hit almost lost his balance, but fortunately his friend helped him avoid falling to the ground.
Jiang Qin reached out and picked up the man's phone, blew on it twice, and handed it back: "I'm really sorry that I delayed asking for your QQ number."
"?"
The boy with glasses was obviously stunned. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the beautiful girl with antennae running over and putting her little hand into the hand of the person who bumped into him.
Seeing this, the man with glasses dodged his gaze for a moment, mumbled something, then pretended nothing had happened and turned his gaze away.
Jiang Qin grinned and rubbed the slippery paw in his hand with great pleasure.
"elder brother."
"What's wrong?"
Feng Nanshu pointed to the wedding photo on the living room background wall and looked at him seriously: "Look, it's a photo of good friends."
Jiang Qin was stunned for a moment: "Is this a photo of good friends? I'm educated, don't try to fool me."
“We’ve taken the same photo.”
"when?"
"In the summer of 2009, the ones with uncles and aunts were called family photos, but the ones with only us were good friends photos."
Feng Nanshu spoke nonsense with confidence.
Jiang Qin's mouth twitched, and he pointed at the bed that Yuan Youqin was making: "Come on, tell me, what is that called?"
Feng Nanshu looked over and said in a cold voice, "Good friend's room, good friend's bed."
"Are you serious?"
Although the rich young lady felt guilty, she nodded very coldly, as if to say, I don’t care, it’s just a photo of good friends, a bed of good friends, and a room of good friends.
Jiang Qin narrowed his eyes and looked at her, thinking to himself, you keep saying good friends, but I see you want to do everything in private.
Feng Nanshu knew that a big bear was staring at her, so she stayed still and didn't speak, so she could pretend to be stupid.
"I already have a good friend's bed and a good friend's room, so...what are those stickers in the room?"
Jiang Qin pulled Feng Nanshu to the door of the bridal chamber and pointed at the two fat dolls stuck in the room.
Feng Nanshu looked at it for a while and said: "It's the fruit of friendship."
"Oh, so it's the fruit of friendship. How did it come about?"
"I know this. Some were picked up from trash cans, and some were given as gifts when you top up your phone bill."
"Who Falls in Love After Rebirth" won the second place in the Big Dipper Fourth Star. I feel honored. I would like to thank Qidian, all the judges, and all the book friends for their support and love. Laocuo will continue to work hard to make good stories continue and live up to every expectation.
