I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

The bar Yang Tianhao mentioned was not far away.

The bars in Jiangning District are all on a nearby street, but there are too many people around here late at night.

Driving is much slower than walking, and finding a parking space is also troublesome.

Although the new bar hasn't been opened yet, it looks quite small from the outside.

The first floor seems to be another store under renovation, but the second floor is actually the bar.

The four of them went up to the second floor through a small opening on the side, and soothing music was already coming from inside.

Different from the large bar we just saw, this small bar is the quiet bar that has become increasingly popular these days.

The entire bar is not very big, with a long bar and a scattered table on the side, and only two staff members.

On the other side are sofas that can be sat on, mostly for two or four people.

There was a small stage at the front and a piano in the side corner, but no one was playing it.

The overall atmosphere is quite romantic, like a place where literary young people would like to come.

"Sister-in-law, you usually come to this kind of bar, right?"

"I came to a similar place when I was a first-year doctoral student. There were not many bars like this at that time. Later, I stopped coming as my experiments became busier."

This is more of a pub than a bar, but the decoration is quite modern and fresh.

"Lao Yang, you have a wide variety of bars here. Why haven't I seen you bring me to this one?"

"you!?"

Yang Tianhao looked at Lu Weiming with disdain.

"If you can sit here for an hour by yourself, I'll consider you awesome."

"Don't look at me with tinted glasses! I was a teacher after all, how come I became a bumpkin in your mouth!?"

After hearing what Lu Weiming said, Yang Tianhao really didn't know how to refute.

In particular, Lu Weiming actually worked as a kindergarten teacher for one year, and was a regular people's teacher.

This made Yu Xintong, who was listening nearby, look surprised. She opened her mouth slightly and looked towards Jiang Hao.

Even though Jiang Hao nodded at her, Yu Xintong still couldn't believe that Lu Weiming, who started out as a gangster, had worked as a kindergarten teacher.

"Hurry up and bring some wine. Oh, and by the way, is there any cooked food? I'm starving!"

"Okay, wait!"

Yang Tianhao immediately stood up and went to the bar to talk to one of the staff members who looked like the store manager.

Everything happened very quickly and all kinds of things were delivered.

You know what, this tavern actually has cooked food.

It mainly serves simple snacks, such as grilled wings, grilled sausages, and even salt and pepper duck heads.

There were also a lot of fruits and snacks. Ever since Yang Tianhao went over to say hello, there had been a constant flow of food and drinks at their table.

"Brother Yang, is this bar really opened by you?"

At this moment, Yu Xintong really believed that the owner of this bar was Yang Tianhao.

It’s not that he doesn’t look like a rich man, but he is dressed like a student and has a youthful air.

It really couldn't be connected with the profession of bar owner, so Yu Xintong still preferred to believe that the bar was opened by Lu Weiming.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know this! Many bars around here are owned by Lao Yang. There are three large bars alone."

"As for this kind of small bar, I...I don't know."

Lu Weiming introduced Yang Tianhao's actual small business to his brother with a very familiar look, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

"Brother Yang, do you mainly work in the bar? In Lizhou City as well?"

To be honest, Jiang Hao really didn't understand what Yang Tianhao was doing. He only knew that he was rich.

I heard from Lu Weiming that he mainly does business in Songjiang City and Lizhou City, but he doesn't know much about the details other than the bar.

"It's mainly bars and restaurants, and recently we're also working on hotels. These are all visible physical businesses."

"I can't compare with you, Brother Jiang. I just have some luck from my family. You have real skills and vision. I admire you!"

As he spoke, he raised his glass and the few of them clinked glasses.

Since the atmosphere was good, even Yu Xintong wanted to have a drink with them.

In the end, the problem of driving at night was naturally solved by Yang Tianhao. He found someone to drive them both back.

"Brother Jiang, can the payment software you mentioned really be as good as Alipay?"

After a few drinks, Lu Weiming finally got to the point.

"Brother Lu, you really think too highly of me! Do you think it would be my turn if I had the chance?"

"There are at least over 100 payment license companies on the market, and there are also many payment softwares. But the only one that can really make it is Alipay."

No wonder the two were so excited. It turned out that they really thought of the payment software he was going to develop as Alipay.

Only these two outsiders dare to think so. Jiang Hao wouldn't even dare to think so in his dreams.

"Brother Jiang, do you mean that there is money to be made from simple payment software?"

"If it's an online payment software, it doesn't make money. Currently, Alipay is the only payment software on the market. We don't stand a chance."

After hearing what Jiang Hao said, a hint of surprise flashed across their faces, but they both patiently waited for Jiang Hao's next words.

It was clear that since he was interested in this business, he would never ask them to lose money.

"If you really want to make money, you have to make money offline, that is, by using a POS machine!"

There are a lot of inside stories here, and Jiang Hao actually had to ask Professor Zheng to find out the truth.

The so-called payment licenses are rarely obtained by Internet companies these days, but they are acquired at high prices in later generations.

Nowadays, payment licenses are not for Internet companies at all.

It is mainly for the central bank and UnionPay to promote credit cards to realize mobile payment and online payment. In the final analysis, it is for banks to make money.

But how could these two big guys possibly do the work themselves? The production, research and development, and promotion of POS machines are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and all of them are costs.

That’s why things like “payment licenses” came into being, allowing some wealthy and powerful companies to enter this field.

These companies spend money on software development for POS machines and then promote them to merchants almost free of charge, and finally take a cut from the online payment fees.

This is also the reason why companies applying for payment licenses have extremely high requirements for registered capital and various supervisory efforts.

And what about the profitability of POS machines these days?

There are only two words to describe it!

Huge profits!

It is just that it is difficult to supervise this thing during the promotion process. If it is not done well, the central bank will issue a sky-high fine.

So after weighing the risks, Jiang Hao finally made up his mind to get others to do it together.

What he wants to ensure is that he will have a payment license in the future, whether it can be transferred or a new Internet company may use it in the future.

As for whether he can make money or not, that all depends on Yang Tianhao and Lu Weiming. Anyway, he can't do it alone.

"This thing is good! It turns out that the payment license you mentioned is related to the POS machine!"

"If it really works, our bar can also use our own POS machine for payment!"

Yang Tianhao immediately showed interest on his face, and so did Lu Weiming.

Although Alipay can be used for payment in various places these days, in fact, large funds are unlikely to be traded in the form of Alipay.

Credit cards, UnionPay and traditional transfers are the most mainstream and reliable payment methods.

It is obvious to everyone whether the business here is profitable or not.

"Are we the only three involved? Yi Xin isn't going to participate?"

It has to be his cousin! At this point, Lu Weiming finally mentioned Ren Yixin, not wanting to abandon his brother.

However, Jiang Hao has no intention of leaving Ren Yixin behind, although Yang Tianhao alone can still get the payment license.

But as Director Ren, the head of the Songjiang City Taxation Bureau, is here, no matter how confident he is, he cannot abandon Ren Yixin.

"He will take part in it, but he just doesn't have time to come tonight."

"This kid can be absent from such an important business? No! I have to call him over!"

Lu Weiming's expression relaxed when he saw that Ren Yixin was involved. He had never heard Jiang Hao mention Ren Yixin at first and he didn't dare to contact him actively to call him over.

I thought the two of them had some conflict, or Ren Yixin was unwilling to participate.

He had been thinking about it just now, and now that the matter was almost settled, Lu Weiming couldn't help but mention it.

After confirming that Ren Yixin was attending, I felt like I had worried about him for nothing.

Moreover, this kid doesn't take such a big business seriously. This is not acceptable!

He had already taken out his cell phone and was ready to dial.

"Brother Lu! Don't call him! He's busy on a date!"
