Chapter 649 New Payment Method
In the early morning, the sky in the east turned white, and the sunlight outside shone into the window. Through the blinds, it outlined a half-bright and half-dark outline on the snow-white wall.
Xitian’s twelve managers in Linchuan came today to meet the new person in charge, Wang Haini and Gao Wenhui, so the two of them started preparing early.
To be honest, it is quite challenging for them to manage people right after graduation.
The two of them had just finished cleaning up when the door to the master bedroom was opened.
Jiang Qin changed his clothes and came out, and Feng Nanshu followed him to the door, like an elegant lady from a noble family, and waved at him gently and obediently, her pretty little face more radiant than ever.
"Goodbye, Mr. Feng. I'm going to work."
"Goodbye, brother."
The two of them talked like friends and behaved politely, as if they had just slept together last night and did nothing else, but in fact, it was very intense last night.
It's hard for the rich girl to be so cool during the day after being whipped so hard last night.
Gao Wenhui and Wang Haini looked at each other and couldn't help rolling their eyes.
After watching Jiang Qin leave the house, Feng Nanshu looked at Gao Wenhui and said proudly, "Brother still doesn't seem to have noticed my unfaithful intentions."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes..."
"What I said is true. I secretly called him hubby and he didn't even notice."
Feng Nanshu had a stern face and spoke as if it were true.
Wang Haini was so confused that she thought, you did it secretly, you were pushed up, and she couldn't help but want to shout! "What's wrong with the brain circuits of these two people?" Gao Wenhui couldn't understand a thing.
Feng Nanshu had no idea what they were talking about and his eyes were a little confused.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Qin arrived at the group-buying headquarters, and the promotion plan of Cloud QuickPass was officially launched.
Group buying was the first to update its payment list, followed by group takeout and daily specials...
In the list of payment methods, Alipay is still ranked first, while UnionPay is ranked second. The reason why Alipay is still preferred is to ensure that group-buying apps can maintain normal transaction behavior and not force users to use UnionPay immediately.
Otherwise, when users are used to paying directly after placing an order, if a page for downloading UnionPay QuickPass suddenly pops up, it would be a bit disappointing.
Therefore, Cloud QuickPass will maintain the second payment position for at least half a year.
However, in this order of ranking, UnionPay QuickPass has an additional small horizontal icon than Alipay, which says 20% off.
In other words, group buying still supports direct payment via Alipay after placing an order, according to the first-sequence priority.
But if you want to enjoy a 20% discount on several group buying apps in the group buying system, you can manually choose UnionPay payment.
Give users the right to choose and the initiative, and the initial promotion can be successfully completed on the premise of gaining the favor of consumers.
At this step, Jiang Qin wants the number of downloads.
In addition, in conjunction with this step, major mobile phone manufacturers have received letters of intent for pre-installation of Cloud QuickPass.
Jiang Qin hopes to skip the downloading step so that when users want to use Cloud Quick Pass, they don’t have to go through the extra downloading step.
In late summer, Cloud QuickPass went online for the first time after its trial operation. It was silent, but grand and glorious.
Xiao Sun from Kyoto works in a film and television marketing company in Galaxy SOHO and is currently writing promotional copy for a film called "You Are the Color of Fireworks in the World".
Because the release date is approaching, the client Huaying Entertainment has been urging him, so Xiao Sun even had his lunch break squeezed out.
Seeing that lunch time was approaching, he couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and order some takeout, but his eyes lingered on the payment page for a moment.
"What is Cloud QuickPass?"
"Pintuan launched an online payment software. You can get a 20% discount if you use it to pay."
After listening to it, Xiao Sun blinked, then clicked download and planned to go in and take a look.
Pintuan is currently a well-known brand in the field of life services, and its corporate image has always been very good. The apps it launched have indeed changed the lives of many people, especially those in the workplace.
Therefore, after Xiao Sun learned that UnionPay QuickPass was a group buying app, he was still very interested in it.
After the download is complete, a pop-up window will appear on the Cloud QuickPass page. After registering and binding your bank card, you can receive a 100 yuan group purchase red envelope.
"?"
In fact, Xiao Sun originally just wanted to download it and take a look, but after seeing this pop-up window, he couldn’t help but register and bind his bank card.
And sure enough, a red envelope of one hundred yuan appeared in his card and coupon bag.
According to the rules of use, the one hundred yuan can be used in all apps under Pintuan, including takeout, group buying, strict selection, special offers, and unlimited times. Except that cash cannot be withdrawn, the functions of using it are the same as real money.
Xiao Sun pursed his lips, returned to the group-buying food delivery app, and found the words [Use group-buying red envelope to pay - 21.9] appeared on the payment page below, and the actual payment was 0.
"Oh my god, Bodhisattva!"
“Pay and start!”
Xiao Sun ordered a takeout, then used the volume and lock buttons to take a screenshot. Then, while waiting for the food, he edited a message for his Moments: [Who else wants to eat takeout for 0 yuan?] and clicked publish.
However, he did not notice that when he took the screenshot, a watermark was automatically generated in the upper right corner of the picture, which read [Group buying with Cloud QuickPass, 20% off across the entire network].
As a result, the news of 0 yuan takeout and 0 yuan group buying gradually began to spread in the circle of friends.
There are thresholds for commercial promotion, but there are no free ones.
This big move by group buying was like a huge rock that suddenly smashed into the originally relatively calm Internet business circle, causing a huge wave.
“Fuck! Group buying is making its own payment software!”
“When did they get the license?”
"Kuaiyifu, they acquired Kuaiyifu and then used Kuaiyifu's qualifications to provide payment services for Pintuan Yunshanfu, which is in compliance with procedures."
"Isn't Xiaomi Technology in talks with that company? Last week, Mr. Lei said that the talks were almost done?"
"It seems that Xiaomi Technology is a cover. The two companies may have reached some kind of agreement, or... Xiaomi is simply being used."
"I finally understand why group buying refused to accept Ali's investment in its early stages. I'm afraid Jiang Qin had already thought about this two years ago..."
At the same time, in the conference room of the Alipay business group at Alibaba headquarters, Pang Rui looked at the Cloud QuickPass interface and the circle of friends that she had taken screenshots of, and she felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave.
The payment market is a big piece of cake. Whether it is traffic or commercial value, it is almost the ceiling of the Internet business circle. Competition is certain.
After the Alipay project was established in 2004, third-party payment software was not subject to legal permission, but they have been developing continuously.
Even though they had to take on the risk and were strangled by the bank, they never gave up.
Therefore, after the payment license was issued, Alipay was able to take the lead and occupy the entire payment market.
During this process, their old rival Tencent has been eyeing them covetously, and Tenpay has been revised three times.
But to be honest, Ali is not panicking.
Tencent's Paipai failed to take off, Dianping was defeated, and Ele.buy's first shareholder was snatched away by Alibaba. Apart from recharging Q coins for games, Tenpay simply does not have a payment ecosystem that is sufficient to support its business.
However, group buying is different.
Group buying has almost completely occupied the payment ecosystem in the field of life services. If it is allowed to develop Cloud QuickPass, Alibaba’s layout in the payment market will be affected in unpredictable ways.
"Don't be in a hurry. It's not easy to use Cloud QuickPass for group buying."
“But they’re already doing it.”
"Our largest market is offline payment. Cloud QuickPass is currently operating online, but it is just catching up with our previous progress. We just need to speed up the speed of QR code scanning payment."
Pang Rui was wearing a champagne-colored suit and high heels. She was facing the floor-to-ceiling window, and her reflection in the glass did not show any panic.
But at this time, an offline promotion manager named Jin Bin rubbed his hands and began to sweat profusely.
After the autumnal equinox, the summer heat does not completely fade away until this time, and the first autumn rain comes drizzling, wetting the temporarily green leaves.
Through a combination of online promotion and registration red envelopes, Yunsuanfu has attracted over 100,000 active users in just one month.
During this period, Alipay quickly cut off the promotion plan for the "Group Buying Channel" and started to burn money on the campaign, with all kinds of advertisements flooding the market.
Just like group buying and takeout, when there are no competitors, of course you can do it as easily and smoothly as possible.
But once you have an opponent, time becomes the key.
Alibaba also has a strong field sales team, which has already occupied first-tier cities, set up stalls, and invited passers-by to scan codes to pay and receive cash back.
The battle between group buying and Alibaba officially kicked off this fall.
"Boss, Alipay's offline promotion has already started."
"What path?"
“Supermarkets and branded convenience stores.”
Tan Qing flipped through the nearly torn roll of [Yunsuanfu Promotion Plan] and said, "Their promotion plan only cut out the part about the group buying channel, and the rest is still the same as usual."
Jiang Qin scratched his head: "I feel like I've opened a full map perspective."
"Boss, should we do it both offline and online?"
"Yes, it will be officially started after National Day."
Tan Qing closed the promotion plan and said, "Boss, don't be too tired. You have had some serious dark circles under your eyes lately."
Jiang Qin coughed and said, "There's someone at home who won't let me sleep..."
In the blink of an eye, it was National Day, tourism enthusiasm began to rise, and cross-regional consumption also quickly drove the development of offline payments.
After Alipay's strenuous promotion, the new payment method of completing transactions with just a "beep" has gradually become popular, without the need to bring a wallet when going out.
During the seven-day National Day holiday alone, the number of Alipay scan code payment orders exceeded one million.
It was not until this moment that everyone realized that another opportunity that could overturn the lifestyle had arrived, and at this time, the number of online users of Cloud QuickPass had doubled.
Immediately afterwards, Jingdong made an update in early October, and Cloud QuickPass was officially connected.
