"A cross-generational creativity that subverts the traditional dating model!"
"Farewell to the age of cash, travel the world with a mobile phone."
After the just-concluded National Day ceremony, news about LeTV mobile phones and WeChat suddenly broke out on the Internet.
Many netizens still don't know what happened, and they won't know what happened until they read the articles and videos.
"What on earth is a QR code?"
"I only know that supermarkets have that kind of barcode, and you have to scan it when paying. I haven't seen a QR code yet."
"Damn it, everyone, look at this video, it looks so awesome."
An extremely popular video appeared on Fanfou.com. In this video, there is a young boy holding a new LeTV mobile phone and filming his daily life.
In the morning, the boy had breakfast at a breakfast shop and used WeChat scan code to pay. After eating, he ran to the cinema to buy movie tickets and watch a movie. He also used WeChat scan code to pay. After watching the movie, he went to the mall
Eating at a restaurant...
After a set of procedures, the boy did not pay from the beginning to the end, and he truly completed all consumption payments with a mobile phone.
"After watching this video, I feel like the thief will cry in the future."
"The thief said with tears: How come these people's pockets are cleaner than mine."
"It feels a bit fake. Many stores here don't accept WeChat payment."
"Upstairs, the promotion of a technology takes time. At least I just discovered that many stores in shopping malls near me can use WeChat scan codes to pay."
"Did you know that when I entered a supermarket today, others had to queue up to pay, so I went directly to the WeChat scanning channel. Those people in line looked at me with envy."
…
Scanning QR codes to make friends and pay has become a hot search term on the Internet in one day. Of course, the first users to enjoy this convenient technology are LeTV mobile phone users, which also led to LeTV mobile phone sales of 100% in the next three days.
Three hundred thousand units.
Three hundred thousand units is an extremely scary number. Even if some users exchange old ones for new ones, it is enough to explain a lot.
On the Internet, many people complained about why their mobile phone WeChat did not have this function, and even went to WeChat official to ask. In this case, WeChat official also responded.
"The new version of WeChat has been fully updated. All mobile phones that can download WeChat software, as long as they have cameras, will support the WeChat scan function. Thank you for your support of WeChat. We will continue to create more practical and convenient functions for everyone.
.”
The official statement from WeChat is very simple, but it makes many netizens very excited. Regardless of whether scanning the QR code works or not, at least this gimmick is very good.
Especially young people, aren’t they pursuing fashion trends?
Therefore, even when mobile phone manufacturers such as Samsung jointly blocked WeChat, WeChat users also experienced crazy growth. In just a few days, user data increased by millions.
…
"Damn, we just made the nearby people feature..."
In the communications team, Zhang Dalong felt a sense of powerlessness. During this period, he and his team worked hard on research and development, and finally developed several practical functions, such as nearby people and offline transmission.
Offline transmission, this technology is from QQ, and it requires members to pay to use it. However, Zhang Dalong used this technology in communication, and it is free, just to win the favor of users with this technology.
But now, in the face of the innovative functions of WeChat, the functions developed by him and his team can be ignored.
"Brother Long, whether you shake it or scan it, the patents and copyrights have been registered there. We have no way to imitate it. We can only obtain patent authorization, but I'm afraid they won't agree so quickly."
Zhang Dalong listened to the report of his team members without any surprise on his face, because this was what he expected.
If he were Su Wang, he would do the same thing and register the patent copyright in advance, so as to prevent competitors from imitating it.
Although the current Internet industry is very vague about patents and copyrights, that only applies to foreign countries. Many foreign ideas have been copied into China, and those gringos will not be able to win the lawsuit.
Such an extremely obvious creative functional design will still be protected.
"Brother Long, what should we do?"
"Don't worry, we are not the most anxious now."
Zhang Dalong responded, because he knew that if the scanning function was launched on WeChat, and the main focus was on the payment function, it would be another company that was anxious.
Ali!
"Mr. Ma, Micropayment is trying to compete with us for the payment market."
Lao Ma glanced at his colleague and felt a little helpless. Is there any need to say this? If it hadn't been for understanding this, would the company have chosen to block micropayments in the first place?
Originally, the company had banned micropayment. Although micropayment also had a large user base thanks to Meituan, it was still far from its own company's products. But this time, WeChat scan code payment made micropayment instantly more popular.
It's getting hot.
The most important thing about payment software is the frequency of use.
The reason why our company's payment software is so dominant is that it has a huge e-commerce market to support it. If users want to shop, they must use the software to pay.
But now, the binding of Micropayment and WeChat has opened up Meituan’s merchant market. With Meituan’s huge market, it is completely possible to pay with mobile phones in physical places. In this way, the number of Micropayment users will gradually increase.
It may even surpass your own side later.
This is something Lao Ma absolutely does not want to see.
"Inform all senior management and a meeting will be held in fifteen minutes."
Fifteen minutes later, all Alibaba executives arrived. Everyone's expressions were very serious because they knew the reason for this meeting.
"First, all of the company's products are completely blocked by WeChat and Meituan. This is no longer a consideration. Second, how should we fight back against WeChat payment? Please speak freely and express your opinions."
As soon as he came up, Lao Ma set the tone. Although he usually appeared in front of the public with a smiling expression, he was able to control a large company and was actually a decisive person.
Compassion does not control soldiers. The same saying applies to business. Not only to subordinates, but also to competitors. There is no mercy in business competition. Competitors must be killed directly. This is
Lao Ma’s insights from many years of entrepreneurship.
