Born Again: A Journey of Love Rediscovered Novel Chapter 517

Eight o'clock was the time when the company just started working, and most of the people were still in a sleepy state, yawning all day long.

The five words "get up early and spend the day stupidly" really have scientific reason.

But when they saw the dazzling blue and yellow colors, their whole souls suddenly woke up.

Some people even like to come to work at the right time. They are already on the road before they even enter the company.

Because these advertisements are almost all placed in the best and most conspicuous positions, you can see them clearly as long as you raise your eyes slightly. Especially the simple pictures with solid color pictures and pure text make people remember these two apps in an instant. .

"How can this be..."

"Alipay and group sharing?"

"This is a big joke..."

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of Dianping's headquarters, everyone's eyes were slightly startled, and almost everyone had the same doubts on their faces.

During the whole process, there were many people who came over after hearing the news, shouting what was wrong, what happened, and then they came to the floor-to-ceiling windows and froze in place.

Zhao Zhengjie, who is in charge of the market direction, is the person who has the most contact with Pintuan. He has not had a good night's sleep since Pintuan settled in Kyoto. Last night he finally had a peace of mind.

But at this moment, he seemed to see a mountain collapse before his eyes, instantly crushing all the previous confidence and excitement of the entire headquarters.

In other words, it was a sudden chill that drenched me from head to toe.

LaShou, Nuomi and Dianping all competed with Tuan Tuan to compete for the market, and ultimately lost. In other words, they did not have the strength to compete head-on with Tuan Tuan.

Seeing that the group buying war is coming to an end, their only chance is to use the barriers of mobile payment to win.

But at this moment, everything has become a bubble, and what breaks this bubble is the splicing of blue and yellow.

Chen Jiaxin had already retracted her gaze at this time, frowning, feeling in a trance in her heart.

From Shanghai to Kyoto, this strong lady who looked down on men had actually been impressed by John Qin's methods many times, but this time, Chen Jiaxin racked her brains and couldn't figure out how he did it.

Tuan Tuan and Alipay, which were obviously the most unrelated combinations, finally came together.

"how so?"

"Did you ignore it somewhere?"

Chen Jiaxin thought hard for a long time, then turned to Zhang Zhang and murmured. After hearing this, Zhang Zhang was stunned and immediately left from the floor-to-ceiling window.

After a while, he came back from the direction he left and shook his head gently at Chen Jiaxin.

Yang Xueyu also withdrew his gaze at this time: "Mr. Chen, what's wrong?"

"I asked Zhang Li to check it out just now. Alipay has not yet connected to the LaShou app."

Yang Xueyu had a look of astonishment on his face, thinking to himself, what's the point of this? The company he invested in didn't use his own services, so he turned around to support a competing company?

He was silent for a long time and found that Chen Jiaxin had been looking at him. Then he took out his mobile phone with a solemn expression and called Robin at Lashou.com on the spot.

If there were no group buying, Dianping and Lashou would definitely be their rivals, but now that Alipay has access to group buying, it is equivalent to the tyrant who rules the group buying market coming back.

No, it’s not that he came back, it’s that he never left!

Under this situation, the public and Laishou do not need to hold meetings to discuss, and naturally have a layer of ally status.

It didn't take long for Robin's phone to be answered. From his words, you could tell that he was trying his best to suppress the huge negative emotions.

"Mr. Luo, where are you?"

"Headquarters."

"Have you returned to Kyoto?"

"Um."

In fact, something strange happened yesterday afternoon. At that time, the technical manager of LaShou.com opened the door and walked into the president's office. He said that his colleagues in Hang City had seen the six-person technical team that joined Alibaba.

At that time, Wu Bo was stunned after hearing this and didn't understand what it meant. It wasn't until he reacted that his expression suddenly changed.

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt it was impossible.

Because the logic doesn't make sense.

Who would have thought that his own son would help a stranger instead of helping him, and then hand him a stick when the stranger was beating his own son?

So Wu Bo immediately bought the nearest flight and planned to go to Hang City to see the situation in person.

But no one expected that things would happen so quickly.

Almost overnight, the streets and alleys of the four first-tier cities were covered with joint advertisements for group buying and Alipay.

Cui Yiting was standing on the street at this time, looking at the sky blue and bright yellow all over the city. She was shocked in her heart and could not calm down for a long time. It seemed that she could see a bunch of fanatical fire gradually starting to set off a prairie fire.

There is no barrier that cannot be overcome, and the group is once again one step ahead...

She couldn't help but think of the last time she met Ye Ziqing, which was in June this year.

Ye Ziqing's skin condition has become very good, there are no dark circles under the eyes, and there are no acne. She said that working with John Qin, she will always feel like she is in the revolutionary era, and she is not in a hurry, and can sleep well. full.

"Mr. Luo, do you know about group sharing and Alipay?"

"Oh, I see."

"This incident is so sudden. Our entire headquarters is in chaos. We are old friends. Can you tell me if Alibaba has invested in the group?"

"I had this plan, but John Qin rejected it on the spot."

Yang Xueyu couldn't believe it: "Alibaba didn't invest in the group buying, but it provided payment services for the group buying? You guys don't know?"

Robin was silent for a long time and then said: "What if they sign earlier than us?"

"What's the meaning?"

"We only had the mobile payment plan in the first half of the year, and we came into contact with Alipay through an investment manager. However, the cooperation agreement between Pintuan and Alipay was not signed recently."

Yang Xueyu frowned listening to the voice on the phone: "Signed in advance?"

Robin hummed.

"How far in advance?"

"Two years."
"What I said is true. The cooperation agreement between Pintuan and Alipay was signed in October 2009."

Yang Xueyu's mind buzzed after hearing this, and a numbness suddenly shot up his spine, and then passed to the peripheral nerves holding the phone.

The group buying industry has only developed for two years. At that time, Alipay did not have a license and the group buying market had not even taken shape. How could they cooperate?

"Lao Luo, have you drunk too much? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Listen to what I have to say, our boss was also shocked when he found out about Alipay and group booking, and rushed to Alibaba overnight to verify the situation."

"Then what?"

"Then the boss saw the two-year-old cooperation agreement. Mr. Pang said that they had violated the agreement by providing payment services for Lashou, but they still withstood the pressure, so they didn't dare to leak the news in the early stage."

Yang Xueyu's mobile phone is in hands-free mode. After all, he is making a call to a rival company. In such a public place, hands-free is necessary.

After hearing Robin finish the whole thing, he and Chen Jiaxin fell into endless silence.

Large companies pay great attention to their image of integrity, especially third-party payment platforms like Alipay, which dare not break contracts because they involve transactions involving real money.

John Qin used a long enough time lag to lay out one version in advance, and solved the most difficult thing to do when the concept of mobile payment did not exist for anyone.

Speaking of which, the GIS service seems to be laid out for one year at a time.

But this was too outrageous. She felt that the great wheel of history was not moving forward by herself, but was being kicked forward by John Qin.

"2009..."

"We just built the website in May 2009..."

Chen Jiaxin returned to the office, sat on the chair and looked back, and found that even here, she could still see advertisements for group shopping and Alipay.

When she was driven back from Shanghai by a group and then chased to Kyoto, the Iron Lady was filled with frustration.

So she changed her office to this side, where she could see group-buying advertisements every day to encourage herself not to relax and pay back what was due sooner or later.

Now I haven't returned what I should have paid back, but here comes another big one...

At this moment, Chen Jiaxin's door was pushed open, and Zhao Zhengjie from the marketing department walked in, handed over a resignation letter, and then bowed gently to her with an apology on his face.

Chen Jiaxin was from the marketing department and could be regarded as Zhao Zhengjie's old leader. When she saw that he was resigning, she couldn't help but want to retain him.

"Don't be so impulsive. I'll just pretend I didn't see this. You can take it back and think about it carefully."

"Mr. Chen, I have thought about it very clearly."

Zhao Zhengjie said it very simply. After he finished speaking, he turned his head away and lifted his hair.

Chen Jiaxin was stunned for a moment, and found that there was an area on the lower right side of his head that was the size and shape of an egg. It had no hair at all and was smooth and bright.

Zhao Zhengjie sighed: "I haven't had a good night's sleep since I came to Kyoto on a group tour. Mr. Chen can help me approve it."

Chen Jiaxin was silent for a moment, signed for him, then turned her back and never spoke again.

In the afternoon, several more people came to Chen Jiaxin's office and submitted their resignations, saying that they did not want to face the next group fight.

This time, Chen Jiaxin chose to leave directly without seeing anyone.

Yang Xueyu and Robin sat in the teahouse again and filled up the entire ashtray in half an hour.

"Is Alipay going to be connected to LaShou?"

"Well, the service will be officially launched tomorrow afternoon. Alipay has talked with us and hopes that we can help them popularize the second and third tier markets, and they will pay for it."

Yang Xueyu was silent for a moment: "Only now can I see clearly that Alipay is the biggest winner."

Robin gave him a noncommittal look.

Pintuan is the group buying website with the highest market share in first-tier cities. Alipay’s cooperation with it can be regarded as a direct step into the fast track for promotion.

Lashou.com has the largest number of second- and third-tier websites, and Alipay needs to take advantage of it to quickly popularize and sink into the market.

They fought at each other's necks in the group buying war, looking at this as an enemy and that as an enemy. But it wasn't until they jumped out and looked again after the incident that they discovered that there was no concept of enemies and friends in the world of big factories, only interests.

If you think about it carefully, this is actually the case in group play. You never make enemies or target people, you just focus on eating and taking.

"Although Jiantuan is not as big as those big companies now, its style is actually very similar. It is also using all available resources to develop itself, including your Lashou.com eggs."

"John Qin... looks like an emperor, but if he gets too close to Ali, he might be in danger."

Yang Xueyu glanced at him: "What should I say?"

Robin put down the tea cup in his hand: "You can tell by looking at Lashou's experience. We promised them to take shares and complement their ecology, but they never regarded us as their own, and they didn't even know about the strategic cooperation between Alipay and Pintuan. ."

"What about group buying for Alibaba? Without a stake, there is no control. This will be Ali's heartache. Sooner or later, they will take action against group buying."

"Comparatively speaking, I think John Qin's choice is not wise. If he turns to Tencent, it may not be so dangerous. It's just that Tenpay is a bit weak. So far, there is no promotion."

As soon as he finished speaking, a news pop-up window suddenly popped up on Robin's phone, which came from the very trendy headlines tonight.

He glanced at it casually, his eyes froze for a moment, and there was no movement after a long time.

"What's wrong?" Yang Xueyu was a little strange.

"I take back what I just said. John Qin is awesome. I'm sitting in a well looking at the sky. Is he really twenty years old?"

Robin raised his phone and showed Yang Xueyu the news just now.

Zhihu, a national college student forum, has reached a strategic cooperation with WeChat, an instant messaging app owned by Tencent, claiming that it will redefine the mobile social field.

We gather today to attend the China Literature Annual Meeting. The updates in the last five days may be unstable, so please forgive me.
