In fact, from Su Wang's point of view, offending Ali was no big deal.
Because of micro-payment, Alibaba itself is at odds with itself, and Alibaba has invested in Koubei. Although Koubei is now considered a failure, Alibaba and Meituan cannot be said to be friendly.
Two of his own products compete with Ali's, and they are destined to be enemies. In Su Wang's view, he doesn't care about having another enemy like Ali.
Ali at this time is actually not scary!
At this time, Tmall has not yet appeared, and Taobao has not yet split into three stores. The so-called Double Eleven sales have only exceeded 100 million. Taobao's reputation is also mixed, and it has always been troubled by the fake goods scandal.
In Su Wang's memory, Alibaba really took off after 2012. At that time, Tmall appeared and solved the fake goods crisis for Taobao, and only then won the trust of users.
Then the annual Double Eleven attracts the attention of users across the country and triggers a shopping frenzy.
To be honest, Alibaba's current combat effectiveness may not be as good as NetEase and Giant. After all, NetEase and Giant are making money very quickly with their several games.
The gaming industry is hugely profitable. Otherwise, NetEase, which started out as an email company, would never be able to become a gaming company.
Thinking of games, Su Wang's mind came to a certain popular e-sports game in later generations. This game can be said to have triggered the e-sports craze and also fostered the growth of the game live broadcast industry.
"If I remember correctly, this game is now online overseas, but the domestic version will not be introduced until next year."
Su Wang began to think about whether he should intervene and not only allow you, Tencent, to suppress me, but I could not fight back.
At this time, Tencent has not yet made a second investment in Riot Games. It has only made a first round of investment, accounting for only about 22% of the shares. It can completely acquire the remaining shares of Riot Games.
Because if I remember correctly, even though LoL has been launched on the US server at this time, it is still losing money. It is a good time to invest. If I step in, even if Tencent is not willing to give up, at least it will
We need to come up with more real money.
Thinking of this, Su Wang called Gao Tingting and asked her to contact the game development team at Riot Games.
Just when Su Wang was thinking about how to cause some trouble for Tencent, at a meeting in Beijing, Wang Kaige frowned and looked at the list of companies submitted by the people around him.
There is no name of the company Yuntong Technology on this list, and micropayment belongs to Yuntong Technology.
These people did not nominate Yuntong Technology, which made Wang Kaige feel abnormal. You must know that the current user data of micropayment is second only to Alibaba's Moubao and Tencent's Tenpay, ranking third in terms of user count.
The software was not included in the "Review Form for Nominating the First Batch of Third-Party Online Payment Licenses", which is an abnormal thing in itself.
But what’s even more strange is that none of the participants present mentioned this situation, as if they had forgotten about the micropayment company, which explains the problem very much.
"Su Wang has so many enemies."
Wang Kaige sighed in his heart. Of course, he also knew that some people did not speak out because they did not want to have another competitor.
Except for a few people who are not working in the online payment industry, almost all of the attendees present are representatives of major online payment platforms. Nominating one less micropayment company is equivalent to having one more spot.
Naturally, these people had a tacit understanding and never mentioned it.
But Wang Kaige knew that these people could remain silent, but he could not. If he did not mention his friendship with Su Wang, it was out of the investment bank's own interests that he had to get the photo opportunity for Micropayment.
Because whether it is WeChat, Meituan, or even Sutang Technology, in order to make a profit, users ultimately need to pay, and everything cannot bypass the online payment platform. If there is no payment platform of its own, then the market value of all Suwang's companies will be
will plummet.
The plummeting market value of Suwang Company means that the investment bank's return on investment is reduced or even lost. Therefore, Wang Kaige will not allow this to happen, whether from a private or corporate perspective.
"Everyone, I have some suggestions that I would like to share."
Wang Kaige spoke, and seeing Wang Kaige speak, the expressions of many people present changed, because they knew how close the relationship between Wang Kaige and Su Wang was.
"Mr. Wang, of course you can give me suggestions, but many professional matters still have to be left to professionals."
A man spoke, and the meaning was very obvious. This nomination form was created by us, a company that engages in online payment. You, Wang Kaige, are just investing in it, so don't get involved in it.
"Of course I agree with professional people doing professional things, but since the leader held such a meeting and invited me to attend, he naturally wanted to have a comprehensive understanding of the online payment industry."
The leader at the top did not speak and just nodded.
Seeing the leader nodding, the others said nothing. Wang Kaige continued: "When I saw this list, I was very pleased. It turns out that our domestic online payment platform has developed so prosperously.
There are twenty companies, which is really something worth celebrating.”
Regarding Wang Kaige's praise, everyone present responded with a smile, because they knew that what Wang Kaige said was all nonsense, and the real words were yet to come.
"But after I read the list, I found something strange. Why is Yuntong Technology not on the list? You must know that not long ago, a subordinate of my company just conducted a data survey. At present, the domestic online payment platform
For users, Tencent’s Tenpay ranks first, followed by Alibaba’s Alipay, and third is Yuntong Technology’s Micropayment.”
"Isn't an online payment company ranked third in the country not qualified to be on this nomination form?"
After Wang Kaige finished speaking, the expression of the leader at the top changed first, because he didn't know about this matter at all, because some time ago, an online payment company ran away with the money, which caused a heated discussion, and the top leader also spoke,
The online payment platform must be standardized.
Therefore, this matter fell on his head, which was to collect the relatively well-known online payment platforms in the country, and then submit a draft list, which would be reviewed when the top leaders held a business meeting.
But before this incident, he didn't know much about the online payment platform at all. He also called some business representatives to come over for a meeting to nominate. But if there are so many micro-payment users of Yuntong Technology, then it is his job.
Dereliction of duty.
Thinking of this, the leader's face became ugly and his eyes scanned the other people present.
"That...the situation is like this."
Feeling the angry gaze of the leader, one of the representatives stood up and explained: "Although micropayment has a large number of users, it has been established for a relatively short time. The online payment platforms on the list are all at least one year old.
There is no problem in all aspects, we have to be on a first-come, first-served basis."
Hearing the other party's sophistry, Wang Kaige laughed and asked: "If that's what you want to say, we won't use it for selection. We will directly pull it from the industrial and commercial department and write down the top twenty companies with the longest registration time.
Can’t we just go up there?”
"This is different. Not only have these companies been around for a long time, but they also have no problems with their strength and qualifications."
"Then there is a problem with Yuntong Technology? Yuntong Technology has used such a short time to surpass the achievements of these companies in several years. Shouldn't we give more support and praise? The Internet industry is an innovative industry, and it pays attention to efficiency.
, how can it be calculated based on seniority?"
Wang Kaige did not save any face for these people. To be honest, except for a few powerful company representatives present, he did not pay attention to any other company representatives.
"Ahem, in this way, everyone present can nominate two payment platform companies and summarize the performance of the nominated companies in all aspects. At the same time, our company will also arrange for people to conduct market research and hold a meeting a week later to discuss the list.
"
The leader coughed. As soon as he said these words, the expressions of many people present changed. If an investigation was really conducted, then micropayments would definitely be on the list.
Of course, not everyone cares about this matter. Except for the Alibaba representative who feels the most uncomfortable, Tencent is a little regretful, and several other company representatives have an indifferent attitude, because with the strength of their companies, even if they join micropayment,
You can still get a license plate.
The reason why we had such a tacit agreement to eliminate micropayments before was just to have one less competitor. Now that the goal cannot be achieved, forget it.
After the meeting, Wang Kaige called Su Wang directly to tell him about the situation, and then left in a hurry. He didn't want to stay here and suffer the looks of these people.
Su Wang was really surprised when he received Wang Kaige's call. He didn't expect that these companies would be so shameless and directly wanted to exclude micropayments. Fortunately, Wang Kaige was involved, otherwise it would really be a big deal.
Let their conspiracy succeed.
"I feel like I need to recruit a new position."
Su Wang touched his chin. He found that his company had technical talents and operation and management talents, but it lacked talents in public relations management. After all, as the company got bigger, it was necessary to deal with many departments. It was necessary to have such a professional
Talents are responsible for this.
Take this meeting as an example. Why did Yuntong Technology not receive the notice? It was not because they had not established contact with the relevant departments. They could not find anyone and they did not know that such a company existed.
"Do you know anyone suitable for such a talent?" Su Wang muttered and began to search for people he knew in his memory.
ps: Let me tell you the news. It may not be long before I have to return to my old career. The third part...
