"Tonight is unforgettable, tonight is unforgettable, no matter the ends of the earth or the corners of the sea, China is in the same arms for thousands of miles..."
The party lasted for 4 and a half hours. In Grandma Li's singing, along with the heat of red envelopes and complaints about the content, another year of Spring Festival Gala came to an end.
"Unforgettable Tonight" was born during the Spring Festival Gala in 1984. At that time, there was controversy within the program team, saying that the song was unhealthy and soft like a sad music.
In the parlance of those days, this was called "the sound of overwhelming music".
However, the chief director was very persistent and kept "Unforgettable Tonight", which has been sung for 40 years.
In the small hall of the Auckland villa.
On the table were leftover dumplings, steak, half a can of Lao Gan Ma, and half a bottle of red wine.
Yinyin rubbed her sore arm and complained: "You guys are unreliable. I only paid 8 yuan and 60 cents after shaking it for a long time, and you still claim to be international. Bah! You are discriminating against overseas friends."
"Before the Spring Festival Gala, the number of WeChat Pay users was 30 million, and I don't know how many new people have signed up. This is a probability... Wow, it's already dawn!"
Yao Yuan looked outside. It was early in the morning, the skylight was shining on the garden downstairs, and there seemed to be a thin morning mist.
"Are you sleepy?"
"Not very sleepy, how about you?"
"I'm okay too. Can we go out for a walk later?"
"Well, wash the dishes first!"
The two of them cleared the table, got busy, and went out for a walk hand in hand. Yao Yuan looked back, and sure enough, Xiao Mo was following behind like a ghost again without noticing.
"I think we still need a dog. Seeing that the neighbors are walking their dogs early in the morning, we only have Xiao Mo."
"Forget about the dog. Who will keep it when we return to China? In fact, I regret buying this house. We can only live there a few times a year, so we can just rent it." Yinyin said.
"I've bought everything, so don't talk about this..."
Yao Yuan held her hand, paused, and said: "I won't have to do anything important in the future, and I will have more time than before. When we have children, our family of three will go out to play often.
Buy a house in each country, live in each other, live there for a few years and then sell them."
"Hmm? Why did you sell it?"
"Westerners don't have martial arts ethics. If you don't live in your house for a long time, you might buy it for 0 yuan. It's not illegal. We have to find a good and safe place for us to live in for the rest of our lives."
Yao Yuan is really thinking about where he will live in seclusion after retirement.
Build a small farm and a big yard, plant flowers and grass, fish and listen to music every day, eh?
He scratched his head.
I had a pretty good life in my last life, and even lived a comfortable life in my middle age. But now I have to do it again in this life? Is the end of my career a big yard?
There is a saying that technology changes life.
In principle, it is correct, but in practical applications, such as red envelopes, online shopping, takeaways and online ride-hailing, it has indeed changed people's lifestyles to some extent.
But do some people think that these things are “technological categories”?
At most it is a technical product.
Yao Yuan came from later generations, and he knew what the future would be like. In terms of public technology alone, the technological level of mankind is far lower than everyone's expectations.
Just like Google Glass, which was very popular in the past few years, or the Yuan Universe, which was full of chaos, that's just a piece of cake!
There are mostly bragging elements.
If he really wants to realize the saying "technology changes life", it will take at least the next industrial revolution. Therefore, the development path of 99 Group is extremely clear in his mind.
In the future, there will be a short video business, Hugelive's overseas expansion, and Meizu's smart life, and then it will be gone.
If you are interested, maybe you can mix it and build a car...
The only bad thing about rebirth is that he has no vision for the future world. If he is reborn again, will he still be able to realize the Nantianmen plan?
It’s not black technology.
…………
Yao Yuan and Yinyin are making villains in New Zealand, and they are already extremely busy in China.
Red envelopes are undoubtedly a groundbreaking product. After New Year's Eve, the news media reported them extensively and collected various folk sand sculpture materials for festive fun.
"This year's New Year's Day is a bit special. Many people meet to say New Year greetings. Instead of saying a happy New Year, they ask, 'Did you get the red envelope?'
On the night of New Year’s Eve, not only the Spring Festival Gala is lively, but also the New Year’s Eve dinner is lively, and it’s even more lively to grab red envelopes while shaking your mobile phone.”
"Crowd: It should be this process, it's very fun!"
"I think it's just a way of entertainment. Of course it's better if you can grab it."
"My friends in China told me that there was an event to grab red envelopes. We tried to grab red envelopes for several hours, but we didn't get any."
"I'm just too busy looking at my phone. I don't have time to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Just keep scrolling until it's over."
“According to WeChat’s official data, during the 4 and a half hours of the Spring Festival Gala, the total number of WeChat interactions reached 9 billion, and the amount reached 500 million yuan!
The highest peak occurred between 10:20 and 25, with an average of 500 million shakes of the phone per minute, causing the WeChat platform to freeze for a time.
The red envelope shaking during the Spring Festival Gala has also led to the popularity of New Year red envelopes. Many people have linked their bank cards for the first time and sent blessings to their relatives and friends. The amount is not much, but it is a heartfelt message."
“A young man born in the 1990s in Hubei accidentally suffered from tenosynovitis after grabbing a red envelope.
This 24-year-old boy has been frantically grabbing and handing out red envelopes in various groups since New Year's Eve. He said: 'I stare at my phone for at least 4 hours straight every day, punching the screen, and after 3 days, I grab and give out red envelopes.
So soft.'
And on the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the young man felt that the thumb and index finger of his right hand were very stiff and could not bend or move. The wrist would hurt when he moved it. After examination by the doctor, he was diagnosed with tenosynovitis..."
Nothing can arouse people's rapid popularity than giving real money.
From New Year's Eve to the first day of the Lunar New Year, to the third and fourth days of the Lunar New Year, until I go to work after the holiday, the enthusiasm for red envelopes fades slightly. But red envelopes will definitely become a part of life in the future. Let alone 2014, they will still be popular in 2023.
Send a red envelope in the group and it will be gone in seconds;
It’s also a pleasure to grab monthly pass packages…
…………
At the 99 headquarters, the first day of work was even more joyful.
The employees of the WeChat Business Department were so impressive that they walked with their feet on their feet. Zheng Nanling took the lead and held a celebration banquet in the cafeteria of the park on the first day after work.
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
Although it is a canteen, the quality of food and wine is no worse than that of a big hotel.
Since the launch of WeChat, the number of users has exceeded 500 million, but firstly it has not made any profit, and secondly it has shouldered the important task of developing the mobile payment market, one to two, to kill Alibaba and Tencent.
So the employees were under great pressure, and they finally fought a good battle this time.
Emotions were released, the scene was a bit unrestrained, and there were people throwing bottles. Zheng Nanling is a reliable person. He first put down a screen, then took the microphone and said: "Quiet, quiet!"
"Mr. Yao will send you a video soon."
"This is a new technology developed by WeChat - video call. Your behavior affects your assessment."
Ga!
There was a moment of silence, and everyone who was drunk was dragged to their faces with cold water.
If you are very satisfied with your salary, your tolerance for the company will also increase. However, when your survival pressure is great, your tolerance will be very high even if your salary is poor.
These are two extremes.
The employees of 99 Group are certainly the former.
A few minutes later, Zheng Nanling manipulated it himself. The screen lit up. It stuck for a moment, and then the picture of Yao Yuan appeared.
Yao Yuan did not show the big house and beautiful scenery of New Zealand. He simply sat on a sofa and was dressed very formally. His first sentence was:
"Although I don't know the exact data yet, I am proud of you. You have completed a beautiful sniper!"
"Wow!"
"Whoosh!"
Yao Yuan did not interrupt everyone's cheers. He was also very happy. He waited for a few seconds and then said: "You have not only opened up the payment market, but also affected people's lifestyles. In another 10, 20, or 30 years
, when people recall the history of the Internet, the 2014 Spring Festival Gala red envelope is destined to be remembered in history!"
"So, Brother Nanling..."
He turned his eyes to Zheng Nanling and smiled: "Can you tell me the final score now?"
"Ahem!"
Zheng Nanling cleared his throat and said: "From New Year's Eve to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the number of users who have opened WeChat payment has reached 90 million, and the total number has reached 120 million!"
