Acorn International?

Wang Liu thought about it carefully, but had no impression.

But I didn't care too much. After all, I was just a contractor in my previous life and didn't pay much attention to the business field. The few companies I only heard of were excellent representatives who made their mark in various industries, but it does not mean that other companies have no potential, it's just that he has never heard of them.

He believed Zhou Zhixiong's vision. Since it can catch his eye, this Acorn International should be considered good.

"Have you ever contacted the other party? Does the other party have the intention to raise funds?"

Zhou Zhixiong shook his head and said, "Not yet, before I could get in touch, I left my job first. Startups, especially those that are developing rapidly, are not short of money. As long as the conditions are agreed, it should not be a big problem to invest."

Wang Liu nodded slightly: "How many are you going to vote?"

Zhou Zhixiong said: "My investment philosophy has always been high risk and high returns. Either don't invest or place heavy bets if you want to invest. So, what I think is that if I decide to invest, then invest at least one to two hundred million and two hundred million to win 20% to 40% of the shares."

Thinking about the fact that Tiansheng was founded, he dared to come to the door and invest 20 million US dollars. After he argued, he simply invested 40 million directly, which is indeed in line with the high-risk and high-reward style he said.

Wang Liu smacked his lips and said, "You are an expert in this regard. If you think it is worth it, then do what you want. I have no objection."

Zhou Zhixiong breathed a sigh of relief. This is what he was most worried about. The investment philosophy is a person's style of doing things. Some people like to take risks, while others like to be steady. If the concepts are not consistent and they are constrained everywhere, their cooperation prospects will be worrying.

But fortunately, Wang Liu cooperated very well.

"Don't worry, I will make careful analysis and judgment before investing, and try my best not to let the money go to waste."

Wang Liu smiled and talked about the company's preparations. After discussing it one by one, Zhou Zhixiong flew back to the capital without stopping and began to work on various matters of establishing the company.

...

After New Year's Day, Wei Qichen finally heard the news: "I've inquired about it. There is no special payment license in the financial license. If you want to apply for it, I suggest you apply for a guarantee license.

This is a certificate that can be issued by the Provincial Financial Office. I can also help. Other banks, funds, credit, etc. are all under the jurisdiction of the China Banking Regulatory Commission and the central bank. They are under the jurisdiction of the above. The province cannot get involved. I can't do anything even if I want to help."

Guaranteed license?

The core of the early stage of the payment business is to help buyers and sellers provide transaction guarantees, and obtain a guarantee license, which is appropriate.

As for other business licenses, after you first get a license, you can change the form and change some tricks to get involved. In the words of Boss Ma, it is... making full use of Internet thinking and developing innovative finance.

Wang Liu secretly complained and said happily: "Okay, I'll listen to Mr. Wei, so I'll apply for a guarantee license. What do I need to do?"

"Just submit an application to the province. You don't have to worry about anything else, I'll do it for you." Wei Qichen said cheerfully.

"No problem, I will arrange for someone to submit the application as soon as possible. Thank you Mr. Wei for your help this time. When I go to the province next time, I will be the boss. Thank you very much." Wang Liu said happily.

Wei Qichen laughed: "Then I'm waiting."

...

As soon as he hung up the phone, Li Xiangtao suddenly came over and said, "Mr. Wang, the various functions required for payment business have been planned. The next step is to start the component team to start research and development.

But I thought about it carefully and felt that the payment business should not be bound to the e-commerce business, and it would be best to be independent."

Wang Liu was happy when he listened. Judging from the development trajectory of his previous life, it is inevitable to separate payment and e-commerce. The payment market is no smaller than the e-commerce market. If it is done well, its value can be compared with some e-commerce companies. It is too incompetent to serve e-commerce business as a department, and it is still independent and has the highest value.

But last time he forgot to say that Li Xiangtao didn't expect that he would think of it himself.

Wang Liu said with great interest: "Why do you say that?"

"Because not only us, but also all levels of society, there are also business scenarios that require payment."

Li Xiangtao explained: "We are doing payments now to only make guarantee transactions for buyers and sellers, but in fact its value is much more than that.

In addition to guarantees, you can also transfer money, receive payments, and even offline transactions. As long as you involve various business scenarios of payment, it is competent.

This market is not small. If it can be realized, it can even be comparable to the e-commerce market.

So I think it should not be just an appendix to the e-commerce business, but can be completely used as a core business with independent social value and market value."

His vision is very long... Wang Liu looked at him in surprise. E-commerce is just starting out now, and there are very few people who can see that this market value is, let alone payment.

He could see that it was because he lived a lifetime and had personally experienced the impact of various payment scenarios in later generations.

But Li Xiangtao actually saw that his vision was really good.

Li Xiangtao was a little confused by his eyes and asked weakly: "Mr. Wang, don't you think so?"

Wang Liu smiled slightly and said, "No, you are right. The payment market also has unlimited potential and deserves attention. Just as you said, separate the payment business and develop it as a core business.

I just made some relationships and the business licensing problem has been solved. You can just go back and write a guarantee business qualification license application and hand it over to the Provincial Financial Office in the name of the independent payment company."

Li Xiangtao suddenly felt relieved. The payment market was a business opportunity he had grasped after thinking hard. He was really afraid that Wang Liu would not see it, so he refused directly.

Fortunately, Wang Liu has a good vision and has even solved the qualification problem.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to write after I apply for a while and wait for a while." Li Xiangtao responded, paused and said:

"The court will be held again in a few days. Do you want to go over and take a look this time?"

"Don't go." Wang Liu refused decisively.

He was too lazy to go the previous few times, and the case was about to be closed, so he was even lazy to go. Why did he go? Have you lost the case?

Li Xiangtao smiled dryly and said, "Then I'll go."

...

A few days later.

The lawsuit is reopened.

Just like Li Xiangtao's guess, Baidu indeed produced several key evidence and completely confirmed the charge of malicious competition in 3721. The lawsuit, which had been delayed for more than half a year, was finally concluded and the verdict was announced on the spot.

"Mr. Wang, the case has been sentenced, Baidu won the case, and we and Sanqi 21 lost the case." On the phone, Li Xiangtao reported to Wang Liuhui.

As a result, he had expected it, but his emotions were not fluctuating, his tone was calm, and he even felt a little relieved. After struggling back and forth for so long, he finally didn't have to continue.
