Chapter 259 WeChat payment is launched, and Lao Liu Catering is fully promoted!
When the outside world speculated about the wealth of Mr. Liu, the Liu Group.
On March 15, the bad news came unexpectedly and reasonably. Liu Xiahui's grandmother suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and died on the same day after rescue failed.
The reason why it is unexpected and reasonable is that Liu Xiahui's grandmother died of a cerebral hemorrhage this year. Liu Xiahui has hired a private doctor for the elderly and undergoes general examinations from time to time.
But in the end, she still couldn't escape the arrangement of fate. Grandma still passed away at the beginning of this year, at the age of 79.
At this age, it was rare to live long in ancient times. Even in modern times, it was actually qualified to be long-lived. Looking at the entire Qinghe Village, there are really not many people who can live to be over 70 years old.
Many of them die of illness in their fifties and sixties.
Grandma left suddenly in her previous life, which made Liu Xiahui sad for a while.
After experiencing such a thing again in this life, Liu Xiahui's ability to withstand has greatly enhanced.
After all, he has been a human being in two lives, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he had died once, and death is not as difficult as it is to bear in the past.
Next, Liu Xiahui asked someone to do a ritual for three days and three nights, and then gave his grandmother a grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmo
When it was a foregone conclusion, even if he had the same experience, Liu Xiahui could not help but cry. The passing of such a blood-loving relative, even the open-minded person would inevitably be sad.
When my grandmother was buried in her previous life, she was basically the people from their branches to attend the funeral, and they were all relatives who did not have five wardrobes.
However, in this life, not only the people with the Liu surname in Qinghe Village came to attend the funeral, but even countless people in Bainiu Town came to attend the funeral spontaneously.
Coupled with relatives and friends, the funeral procession reached an astonishing 20,000 people.
You should know that there are only more than 40,000 people in the entire Bainiu Town. It can be said that except for the elderly and children, 90% of the families sent representatives to attend the funeral. The momentum was really amazing.
It can be said that this funeral was the first to attend the funeral in Bainiu Town.
According to the customs and customs of Bainiu Town, people are basically buried in the mountain after death. The funeral procession of more than 20,000 people is really terrifying. The mountain cannot accommodate so many people.
Therefore, many people just followed the funeral procession to the foot of the mountain and did not follow.
When others come to attend the funeral, they must have to eat this meal. More than 20,000 people set up more than 2,000 tables. The banquet was placed from Liu Xiahui's villa to the side of the road. There was also a large open space in front of the ancestral hall. Places that could be placed on large-scale banquets were requisitioned.
As for tables and chairs, the villagers of Qinghe Village took action spontaneously and moved tables and chairs from their homes. They were arranged properly without Liu Xiahui's instructions.
This funeral was an unprecedented glory. Even many elderly people in the village were envious of it. If they could receive such treatment after death, they would let them die now and they could die without regrets!
After the funeral of grandma, Liu Xiahui stayed in his hometown to accompany his elders for more than a month. According to the fate of his previous life, in the next few years, several elders who were not in the five-serving period passed away one after another.
In fact, not many people who died of illness were actually dead. Most of them were actually killed by illness.
In this regard, Liu Xiahui could only find the best doctors for these elders, but in fact he knew in his heart that several elders in his previous life had incurable diseases. Even if they invited the best doctors, the best result would be to delay for a few more years.
No matter how clear you understand, you still have to do everything you need.
...
In a blink of an eye, May is coming.
On May 26, 28 companies including Alipay, WeChat, Tenpay, Yibao Payment, etc. obtained the first batch of third-party payment licenses issued by the central bank.
On the same day, WeChat, which already has 30 million registered users, launched the WeChat version 3.0.
This version update has added a shake and scan function, and it also adds support for the traditional Chinese language interface like Q letters, and adds mobile phone numbers for users in five regions: Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, the United States and Japan.
The most important thing is that WeChat Moments has also been launched.
Of course, the most important thing is that WeChat Pay has finally officially been released.
It was also on this day that the Laoliu fast food chain, Laoliu spicy crayfish chain, Laoliu seafood building chain, Laoliu beef bone soup chain, Laoliu pigeon soup chain, Laoliu roast duck chain, Laoliu roast goose chain, Laoliu white cut chain, Laoliu night snack chain, the world's number one Chinese restaurant, the world's number one Western restaurant and many other industries all have enabled WeChat payment function.
All restaurant chains immediately put out advertising that had been printed long ago.
...
Hu Lijuan is 25 years old this year and is a typical urban white-collar worker.
After get off work at noon, Hu Lijuan came to Lao Liu fast food downstairs downstairs of the company. She is a loyal diner of this fast food. Since Lao Liu fast food was opened downstairs of their company, she has never changed her lunch again.
As soon as he walked to the door of Laoliu fast food, Hu Lijuan saw the huge publicity billboard standing at the entrance. The six big words "Gratitude and Giving Activities" are written directly above the billboard. The content below is as follows:
"In order to thank all new and old customers for their support for our store, a thank-you feedback event is now held, which will end this month from now on. Customers can enjoy a 20% discount when using WeChat Pay. For the first time, you can enjoy the lowest 50% discount!
We must not miss the opportunity and never come again. I hope that all new and old customers can tell each other.
Finally, thank you for your support for this store and wish you a happy meal!”
After reading the content of the billboard, Hu Lijuan couldn't help but look at the waitress standing next to the billboard and asked, "Hello, I want to ask what this WeChat payment is?"
The waitress smiled and said, "Hello, have you used WeChat?"
Hu Lijuan nodded and said, "Of course I have used WeChat, but I have never heard of WeChat Pay!"
The waitress smiled and said, "It's normal that you haven't heard of, because this is a new feature that WeChat just launched today. You can see it by upgrading your WeChat version!"
Hu Lijuan said in surprise: "It turns out that WeChat has been updated. I didn't pay attention to it when I was busy with work. I'll update it first!"
While talking, Hu Lijuan took out a brand new Apple 4 phone from her shoulder bag and skillfully connected mobile data.
Seeing this, the waitress hurriedly said, "Beauty, our store has now opened WiFi, you can connect and use it. The WiFi is called Lao Liu Fast Food, and the password is 12345678."
Hu Lijuan said in surprise: "Your store can be connected to WiFi? That's great!"
As she said that, she quickly turned off the mobile data, then started to connect to WiFi, and only opened WeChat after the operation was completed.
At this time, WeChat prompts whether to update, it is definitely not necessary to mention it, click Update.
Soon, after the WeChat update was completed, Hu Lijuan began to become familiar with the updated version.
The waitress introduced next to it: "If you click on me in the lower right, you can see the word payment, which contains two functions: payment and wallet. There are also two functions in payment and payment, one is the payment code to pay the merchant.
For example, when you order and check out later, you can show the payment code. We can use the QR code to scan it and check out directly. For this QR code to receive payment, if your family and friends want to transfer money to you, you can use the WeChat scan function to scan the QR code, and then enter the transfer amount and payment password to transfer money to you."
Hu Lijuan was listening to the waitress’ explanation while operating, and asked, “Then if I show this payment code to check out, where will the money be deducted?”
The waitress explained: "You can deduct it directly from your WeChat wallet, or you can bind a credit card and other bank cards, and then deduct it from your credit card or bank card!"
When Hu Lijuan heard this, she frowned and said, "Directly deduct it from your credit card or bank card? Is it safe?"
The waitress smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are tips for payments. Don't worry about safety. As long as you keep your phone safe and don't show the payment code to strangers to scan, there will be no problem."
The conversation between the two also attracted the attention of other diners. At this time, several people had gathered here. When the waitress said this, someone immediately asked: "If the phone is dropped or stolen, how can I ensure the safety of this fund?"
The waitress said: "Don't worry about this. Nowadays, smartphones can generally set password locks. Even if the phone does not have a password lock, WeChat Pay can also set gesture passwords.
As long as you set your gesture password in advance, you need to verify your gesture password when entering the WeChat payment interface. Even if your phone is really dropped or stolen, others will not know your gesture password and will not be able to enter the payment interface.
Even if someone can crack the gesture password, it will take a certain amount of time. As long as you log in to your WeChat using your family and friends' mobile phones within this time, or call the WeChat staff to contact you, you can ensure the safety of your funds!”
Everyone nodded repeatedly when they heard this, and then the diners with WeChat began to bind cards on site according to the waitress's guidance. Diners without WeChat also couldn't wait to download and register WeChat, and then started to bind cards on site.
As for diners without smartphones, they can only watch from the side with envy.
Hu Lijuan was the first to tie a card. She first tied a credit card, and then scanned the code under the guidance of the waitress to receive a 50% discount coupon, and then went over to order the order happily.
After ordering a super luxurious package, Hu Lijuan showed the WeChat payment code to the waiter responsible for collecting the money as taught by the waiter just now. She heard a dip and prompted that the payment was successful.
Hu Lijuan looked at the deduction prompt on the payment interface, as if Columbus discovered the New World. This payment method is so convenient. In the future, when I come here for lunch, I don’t have to bring my wallet. I just bring my mobile phone to scan the code.
With Hu Lijuan's successful payment, other diners who had completed the card binding also began to order and pay.
So, many diners have gained knowledge today. They have to pay for money to order orders, which is wasting a lot of time. Other diners put their mobile phones in front of the cashier, and the cashier scans the code gun and completes the payment.
Needless to say, there is no need to ask for change, just a scan can be done easily.
Such a convenient payment method is naturally something that many people want to experience.
What's more, with this payment method, you can get a 50% discount when you make the first payment successfully, and 20% discount until the end of this month. This can save at least several dozen yuan for frequent diners.
This visible benefit immediately attracted countless diners. As long as they have smartphones, they basically download and register for WeChat, and then tie the card to pay and enjoy discounts.
For diners who have already downloaded and registered for WeChat, it is even easier. By directly tying a card to pay, you can enjoy this discount that ordinary people cannot enjoy.
At the same time, everyone couldn't wait to share the good news with their relatives and friends.
The first Hu Lijuan, who successfully paid with a WeChat payment code, was eating delicious fast food while calling her relatives, friends and colleagues one by one.
Other diners are no exception. After getting the benefits, they can't help but want to notify their relatives and friends.
Therefore, at least dozens of diners join the WeChat payment ranks every day for this Laoliu fast food store.
And across the country, Laoliu Fast Food stores have now exceeded 4,000.
In other words, more than 100,000 diners join the WeChat payment ranks every day.
In addition to Laoliu Fast Food, there are also other chain restaurants under Liu's Group, which have almost launched similar activities, such as the world's No. 1 Chinese restaurant, the world's No. 1 Western restaurant, and the Laoliu Seafood Building chain. The discounts are naturally much smaller.
The first payment is 10% off, and the payment is 15% off this month, which is already attractive enough.
Liu's Group has tens of thousands of restaurant chain stores, and its daily customer flow exceeds tens of millions. Once the WeChat Pay discount event was launched, it caused a huge response. WeChat registered users began to soar instantly, and WeChat Pay's card-binding users were developing at the speed of light.
On the first day alone, the number of registered users of WeChat increased by more than one million, and the number of card-binding users of WeChat Pay increased from zero to more than two million.
By the end of this month's event, the total registered users of WeChat directly exceeded 40 million, and the card-binding users of WeChat Pay reached a terrifying amount of more than 18 million.
It was incredible to develop this far in just a few days.
Tencent was stunned!
Alibaba was also confused!
Tencent’s QS registered users have been biting WeChat’s tail since the end of last year. Although they have not used the technology to overtake, the entire Tencent executives firmly believe that with their Tencent’s social scale and heritage, it’s only a matter of time before QS. surpasses WeChat and replaces it!
But who would have thought that WeChat has been calm for several months, and it would be shocking if it didn’t take action!
Every feature launched by WeChat's 3.0 version is a classic among classics. What Tencent didn't expect is that WeChat not only engages in mobile social networking, but also focuses on the mobile payment field.
As soon as WeChat payment is released, especially the QR code receipt and payment function of the God-Learning QR code, it simply opens a new door for mobile payment for everyone.
While shocking Tencent, they were also extremely hot. They actually wanted to enter the payment field, but unfortunately, both QQ wallet and Tenpay were not good at performing well. The entire third-party payment field is completely dominated by Alipay.
But now the QR code payment function that WeChat has created has finally seen hope.
Therefore, at the order of Mr. Ma, Tencent's R&D department began to work overtime and develop the QR code collection and payment function of QR codes for QR letters, as well as the Q letter shake, scan, and circle of friends, etc., which cannot be left out.
As for whether people will be scolded for plagiarism in this way, it is not a problem for Tencent. They have long been used to listening!
When Tencent's R&D department began to engage in R&D, Mr. Ma, who breathed a sigh of relief because Alipay had just obtained a third-party payment license, frowned at this time, and felt a headache for WeChat Pay, the sudden emergence of its opponent.
Although Alipay was the dominant player in the payment field at this time, as early as the end of last year, the number of registered users had reached 550 million.
However, what makes Mr. Ma headache is that these 550 million registered users are almost all PC users, and the number of mobile users can be said to be pitifully small.
With Mr. Ma’s vision, we can naturally see that the next era is the mobile Internet era. If we cannot keep up with the times, we will be abandoned by the times as soon as possible.
Therefore, since last year, Mr. Ma has begun to consciously develop towards the direction of mobile Internet.
How to transfer users on Alipay PC to mobile is a question Mr. Ma has been thinking about.
In his previous life, it was not until 2013 that Mr. Ma came up with a simple and crude idea, that is, Alipay PC transfers are charged, while mobile transfers are free.
As soon as this idea came out, it caused a strong backlash from users, but as the saying goes, it is very honest to say that you don’t have a physical body. Judging from the data, the end user still flowed quickly from the PC side to the mobile side.
It's only 2011, and there are still two years left before 2013.
From last year to this year, Mr. Ma has been focusing on how to withdraw Alipay from Alibaba and establish a special company to obtain a third-party payment license. This matter is indeed a top priority for Mr. Ma.
After all, if this third-party payment license has not been completed, there has been no conclusion on what nature the funds of Alipay belong to. This is a bomb that may explode at any time. Mr. Ma really cannot pay too much attention to it.
Anyway, Alipay has no competitors in the payment field, so PC users can switch to mobile devices to slowly do it. Ma always has time, so naturally he will solve the most important thing first.
But who would have thought that before we had just solved the third-party payment license, WeChat began to enter the mobile payment field in a very high-profile manner and launched the heavy weapon of WeChat Pay.
If WeChat Pay exists like QQ wallet or Tenpay, then Mr. Ma will not be able to see it directly, but the key is that WeChat Pay launched a barcode function before Alipay.
Moreover, this function, which is called the QR code for payment by WeChat, is more perfect and more perfect than the barcode scanning function that has been developed by Alipay and is being tested.
As soon as WeChat Pay was launched, it dominated the mobile payment field in just a few days, leaving Alipay far behind, which made Mr. Ma really anxious.
In particular, Mr. Ma knew that WeChat was created by Mr. Liu from the Liu Group, the most outstanding young man in the contemporary era. Last year, he rushed to Hangzhou City to meet him and expressed his idea of investing in Alipay.
It’s a pity that Alipay is now one of Mr. Ma’s lifeblood and has been upgraded to a strategic weapon. With good development, no shortage of money or connections, Mr. Ma naturally would not agree to let anyone invest in Alipay.
Therefore, Mr. Ma rejected the young man's request for investment.
Mr. Ma forgot about this matter in a blink of an eye.
It was not until two months later that the release of WeChat's mobile social software made Mr. Ma pay attention to the young man again. Unexpectedly, the young man who had been engaged in catering suddenly entered the social field.
The social field is undoubtedly the lifeblood that Tencent cannot lose. This young man is engaged in the mobile social software [Xin Biquge www.xsbiquge.vip]. Tencent will definitely not sit idly by. A big battle is inevitable.
At that time, to be honest, Mr. Ma still had a sense of watching the show.
Alibaba and Tencent are both Internet overlords. Although one core is e-commerce and the other core is social, the competition between the two sides is everywhere. Now someone can cause some trouble to Tencent, and Ma is always happy to hear it.
The result was not as expected by Mr. Ma. Next, Tencent developed a Q-signal that was very similar to WeChat at the fastest speed, and then the two sides competed in the field of mobile social networking.
From last year to this year, the number of registered users of both parties is getting closer and closer. If WeChat does not have any other big moves, then there should be no suspense for QX, a giant behind it, to surpass WeChat this year.
However, Mr. Ma never dreamed that after the central bank issued a WeChat third-party payment license, WeChat updated the version on the same day and then launched the WeChat payment weapon.
Moreover, from the promotion of WeChat Pay, we can see that WeChat has been prepared for a long time and can immediately start the promotion plan when it is obtained by a third-party payment license.
This series of operations really caught Mr. Ma off guard.
Even Mr. Ma had an absurd idea in his mind. If he had known that young man had such an idea in the field of mobile payment, he would have invested in Alipay last year.
Of course, it is too late to say anything now. The young man failed to invest and decided to go to the market for mobile payments in person. What Mr. Ma needs to do now is to quickly improve the barcode scanning function of Alipay, launch the same payment QR code as WeChat Pay, and then find a way to transfer Alipay’s PC users to the mobile terminal.
Otherwise, the pitiful users on Alipay mobile side alone would not be able to overcome WeChat Pay, which has a very fierce development momentum.
So, at the order of Mr. Ma, Alipay's R&D department also began to work overtime, regardless of day and night, just like Tencent.
Chapter completed!
