Top of the big era

All O2O businesses are inseparable from the payment link. In other words, mobile payment is the most inescapable part of O2O business.

This requires Ziweixing to fight the battle of payment.

The coexistence pattern of Alipay and WeChat Pay has been set, and neither party can take advantage of the other.

From a product perspective, both parties are competitors. But from an industry perspective, the two parties are no longer competitors, but allies. Both parties must work together to kill the possible third mobile payment tool.

No matter it’s QQ payment or any official payment tool, it won’t work!

Boss Ma is so eager to promote the integration of the online ride-hailing industry that he has actually seen this current situation. He originally wanted Alipay to dominate the world, but he didn't expect WeChat Pay to come out fiercely. If it were just WeChat payment, that would be fine, but over the past few years, Zhoubuqi has created a large ecosystem for mobile payment business.

Just like e-commerce.

Alipay’s core competitiveness is Taobao’s position as the king in the e-commerce field.

However, WeChat Pay has also penetrated.

JD.com does not have access to Alipay. The preferred payment tool is WeChat Pay, which also includes on-campus group buying under Ziweixing. WeChat merchants, which had been very popular but were banned by Zhou Buqi, also relied on WeChat payment.

The general situation is now clear.

The potential of WeChat Pay is better than that of Alipay, and its sinking properties are also stronger. Alipay has only 300 million users, but WeChat has more than 650 million users. These 650 million WeChat users can all be converted into WeChat Pay users within one or two years, and the user scale will far exceed Alipay.

Boss Ma also felt the crisis.

They want to quickly integrate the online ride-hailing industry, firstly, to reduce their respective losses, and secondly, to avoid Alipay's social and traffic disadvantages compared to WeChat Pay, which caused Kuidi to lose business to Didi.

Kuaidi is developing very well. It would be unreasonable if Kuaidi's user base is smaller than Didi's because Alipay's audience is smaller than WeChat Pay's.

"There is a lot of hot money and the industry is booming. This is a good thing, but there are also bad things." Zhou Buqi wanted to dispel Boss Ma's concerns, "If there is more money and the market is hot, too many people with evil intentions will come in, which will easily lead to the collapse of the industry." Evil spirit."

Boss Ma agrees, “The online ride-hailing industry does have many problems now.”

Zhou Buqi said: "So, we must integrate. This is an inevitable option. We can't let bad money drive out good money."

Boss Ma nodded, "There is a trend now. Some people create the illusion of dispatching orders to attract users, but it is actually deception. But if one family does this, if others don't, it will not be attractive enough and they will become a hooligan. Bullying honest people.”

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "After the merger, those disrupting the market will be cleaned up, and the online ride-hailing industry will be able to develop more stably."

"Let's go out and walk around!"

Boss Ma felt at ease.

As long as this guy intends to promote the merger of KuaiDi and Didi.

The best player in the online ride-hailing industry now is Didi, which is supported by Ziweixing. This is not surprising. It has strong traffic from WeChat, Weibo, Toutiao and Xiaonei.com, and it is normal to develop rapidly.

So the choice now lies with Zhou Buqi.

If Zhou Buqi goes to Baidu or Penguin to cooperate, then Alibaba will support Kuai Di. Not to mention a dead end, there is only one way left in Huashan.

Even though Boss Ma has a good relationship with him, he is still worried about being teased by him.

After talking about this matter, Zhou Buqi then took Boss Ma around Ziweixing's headquarters.

Boss Ma said he wanted to visit the cloud computing building.

Zhou Buqi did not refuse, and even boasted: "Ziweixing is relying on Ziweiyun to implement the 'ABC strategy' at the technical level. Once completed, it will be able to subvert the existing technology industry in one fell swoop. What the Internet is changing now is the traditional Industry; after the ABC plan is implemented, it will be the traditional technology industries that will change. "What is the ABC strategy?"

"A, is AI. B, is Big_data, C, is Cloud_Computing."

"Artificial intelligence, big data and cloud computing." Boss Ma didn't take it seriously. "It's a cliché. Alibaba Cloud is also doing these things, but I'm not as good at naming them as you are and coming up with such a beautiful term."

Zhou Buqi snorted, "Can it be the same? Compared with Ziweiyun, Alibaba Cloud is at least ten years behind!"

Boss Ma was angry and unable to refute.

When I walked into the cloud computing building, a young man happened to come with me.

Very eye-catching.

Because this guy is white and has green eyes, he looks like a foreigner at first glance.

It is not surprising that a technology giant like Ziweixing has some foreign employees, who are usually senior technical experts, and Alibaba also has a few. However, the young man in front of me looks very young, like a college student. Such a young senior expert?

Boss Ma was very interested and asked in English: "Are you Chinese?"

The other party obviously recognized Boss Zhou and Boss Ma, and said with a smile: "I'm not, my name is Ilias, I'm Swiss, I came here to study, and I'm studying for a master's degree at Tsinghua University."

Boss Ma was even more curious, "Reading?"

Ilyas said in Chinese: "Yes, I'm here for an interview. I want to get an internship spot. I will come here for an internship in the second semester of next year."

Ziweixing provides many internship positions. This is not surprising. It is relatively rare for a Swiss young man to study in China. Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "You speak Chinese well. Do you have Chinese relatives at home?"

Ilyas shook his head, "No, I just like Chinese culture."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "If you want to fully understand Chinese culture, you may have to stay here for many years."

Ilyas said: "Yes, I am ready. I will also share my life here with my relatives and friends in Switzerland. Those Western media are controlled by capital and will only exaggerate. Especially with the constant slander here, I am really fed up. I like Chinese culture and I will share the real situation I experienced with them to prevent them from being misled by the Western media.”

"Misleading?"

Zhou Buqi and Boss Ma looked at each other.

Ilyas said angrily: "Let me give you an example. The Western media said that many people in China work late and do not get overtime pay. Chinese rural people only have a pension of 20 euros a month. I am really fed up with these rumors." I chose to study here just to use my real experience to fight back against them!”

Boss Ma keenly saw the corner of Zhou Buqi's mouth twitching and almost laughed.

Zhou Buqi coughed, "Well, many media reports are indeed very biased. Practice brings true knowledge, and only through experience can you discover the truth."

He Yang was also present, with a faint smile on his lips, and said: "Then go to the interview quickly, don't delay you, I wish you a successful interview!"

When the foreign student named Ilyas happily went to find the interviewer, Zhou Buqi turned back to He Yang and said, "If it is some senior technical talents, we need some foreign scientists. If it is some less so The best jobs in the industry are best left to our own compatriots.”

He Yang took it seriously, "Well, it should be! The priority is to take care of your own people!"

Seeing that Boss Ma was a little gloating about his misfortune, Zhou Buqi said angrily: "This guy will definitely not pass the interview. How about recommending him to Alibaba? Let him do an internship with you?"

"Forget it!" Boss Ma didn't accept it either, "I came to defect to you!"
