Who Can Fall In Love After Being Reborn?

Chapter 505: Are you forward-thinking or can you tell fortunes?

Lv Zhichuan did not return to his office, but followed Pang Rui to Alipay's business group building.

Pang Rui asked his secretary to pour him a cup of tea and asked him to sit down first.

Until this moment, Lu Zhichuan didn’t know what he was doing here, nor what Mr. Pang meant by what he said just now, but as Pang Rui brought a document over, everything was revealed.

"What's this?"

“Cooperation agreement between Alipay and Tuan Tuan.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

Lv Zhichuan was stunned for a long time, and then he realized what was happening. He immediately opened the contract and looked through it for a long time. Finally, he showed an incredulous expression: "October 2009?"

Pang Rui sat on the chair and nodded very calmly: "During the National Day in 2009, Alipay had already signed a cooperation agreement with Pintuan. We helped them provide payment services, and they helped us promote our business."

"How can this be…?"

 Lv Zhichuan's first reaction was to doubt the authenticity of the agreement.

 In 2009, Alipay was really nothing. It could only serve as a bridge program for online shopping. Its most powerful function was only to pay phone bills, electricity bills and gas bills online.

 But at that time, the electricity and coal systems in most communities did not support online payment.

As for the function of paying phone bills, you also need to use U-shield to connect. The recharge time limit is 24 hours, but with this technology, you can go downstairs and buy a recharge card.

 Why is this happening?

Because Alipay wants to become a third-party platform, it is equivalent to touching the bank's cake and digging up their moat. How could they allow this to happen?

 Otherwise, why would Boss Ma be so angry that he shouted directly, saying that if the bank does not change, then we will change the bank.

At that time, no one thought the payment platform could work, and even their internal employees were skeptical.

But if this contract was really signed in 2009, it would be equivalent to Jin Chanzi fishing before the Buddha was giving lectures. A monster started cooking on the westbound road, waiting to fry Tang Monk's meat.

Lv Zhichuan is willing to believe that some people have forward-looking vision. After all, he has worked in Alibaba for so many years and has seen many such people, but he does not believe in someone with such forward-looking vision.

“At that time, Alipay couldn’t even get a license and the future was bleak. How could he sign a cooperation agreement with Alipay so far in advance?”

 “He said he wanted to bet with me.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

“I was on vacation during that time, and he tried every means to find a salesperson under me and handed me a development plan. After reading it, I thought it was quite interesting, so I decided to meet him.”

"He was very young, really just a college student. At that time, he was doing campus forums, namely Zhihu. He said that in one year, he would do it all over the country. He hoped that Alipay could sign a cooperation agreement with Pintuan and Qiangqiang joint."

Pang Rui picked up the tea cup and leaned gently on the back of the chair: "I also told him at the time that Alipay would be meaningless if he couldn't get a payment license, but he said he was betting that Alipay could get the license, and he also asked me to bet that he could do it within a year. All over the country, so the two of us bet on something that no one had at the time.”

 Lv Zhichuan: “…”

Pang Rui looked at him: "If you win the bet, Alipay can quickly become popular among college students with the help of Zhihu. If you lose the bet, the agreement will be invalidated. There will be no loss. I want you to bet. Do you want to bet?"

"Can he tell fortunes?" Lu Zhichuan suddenly understood what she meant by her scary words just now.

"I thought the same way at the time, but he said that the tide of the times is unstoppable. He didn't have confidence in Ali, but in this era."

Lv Zhichuan was stunned for a long time, his eyes fixed on the two characters "Group" on the cover of the agreement.

He no longer cares about the possibility of such forward-thinking. After all, the cooperation agreement is written in black and white here.

 What he is thinking about now is the outcome of LaShou.

LaShou’s business capabilities are not as good as those of group companies, and now they even have the idea of ​​​​escaping from first-tier cities. To be honest, who would think of escaping if they can really beat it?

He originally thought that the access to the payment platform would be a turning point, a turning point that could bring LaShou back to life, but now it seems that it will only accelerate the fall of LaShou, and by then, Tuan Tuan will become a unicorn in this market.

  【I am taking the final exam】

Lu Zhichuan couldn't help but show a confused expression as if he was missing a brainstem, and finally understood what Pang Rui meant by being scary.

 A twenty-year-old college student, step by step, has figured out the market development.

  He used what he didn’t have to bet on what others didn’t have, and made a plan that took two years. Then at the most critical moment, this plan became his biggest trump card, and this trump card might have become the weapon that killed him.

Some things cannot be appreciated without experiencing them for oneself. At this moment, he finally understood why LaShou, Nuomi and Dianping had lost so miserably in the group buying market.

 “If you say that, holding hands is about to end.”

Pang Rui was silent for a while while holding the tea cup: "Now it is no longer a matter of pulling hands. It is that the value of the grouping far exceeds the estimate. Even if Alibaba does not take a stake, it must become a strategic partner with the grouping."

 Lv Zhichuan looked at her: "Mr. Pang, do you think the group will be the final winner?"

“If you had ever seen a person who, at the age of twenty, planned everything two years in advance and fulfilled it one by one, you would feel the same way…”

At this time, Jiang Qin didn't know what happened to Ali. He was chasing a 50-cent steel coin out of the door of the teaching building. When he saw that it was about to fall into the sewer, he rushed over and snapped it away. Press and hold

 Then, he used the 50-cent coin at the shop at the door to buy an old popsicle and chatted for a while. The final exam was real. He had just finished it, but it was really a reason to excuse Manager Lu.

 Because he is not short of money now, he does not want to be associated with a group like Ali.

  After all, compared with these Internet giants, group fighting is much smaller. Sometimes being weak is a kind of original sin. Either you don't have contact with them. If you do, there may be something that goes beyond your own plans.

Jiang Qin made the popsicles smooth and round, thinking to himself, who would have thought that a popular fried chicken in the Internet business would actually eat such a simple old popsicle.

At this time, Cao Guangyu also came out of the teaching building. Looking at the expressionless Jiang Qin, he suddenly felt happy: "What's wrong? You can't do anything in the exam, right?"

"It's not about the exam, it's because Ali wants to give me money, but I don't want it, but I don't know how to refuse without being aggrieved. What do you think, young master?"

　　　…”

Jiang Qin showed a bright smile and didn't care about Master Cao's life or death. Then he saw Feng Nanshu walking out of the hall and immediately waved.

Feng Nanshu ran over all the way, put her hand into his, and called him brother in a low voice.

Followed closely by Gao Wenhui and Wang Haini, they opened their mouths to go to 207 to use the air conditioner. Since they were Feng Nanshu's best friends, they didn't care at all.

 Then they went to the canteen to buy food and took it to the entrepreneurial base.

The temperature in this hot summer is always above 30 degrees, and it’s so hot that I can’t even take a nap. Since I’ve been to 207, who wants to go back to the dormitory?

The three girls sat cross-legged on the newly purchased carpet, watching the TV series "Palace" attentively. All the materials they had brought with them to review were put aside.

 “This theme song is really nice. What is it called?”

 “It seems like suicide of love, then ask for support.”

　　　…”

“Who do you think Qingchuan likes?”

 “The Eight Wise Kings.”

Gao Wenhuisheng looked back at Jiang Qin helplessly: "I said Mr. Jiang, where are the Eight Wise Kings here?"

Jiang Qin twisted his mouth and thought, "Do you know if I am reborn?" Unless he was watching the series, but at this moment, his phone suddenly started to vibrate again. The caller was from an unknown number, and the address was Shencheng.

He took a guess and thought it might be Tencent, so he reached out and pressed the answer button.

As expected, the other party claimed to be the manager of Tencent’s investment department, named Peng Sheng, which was similar to Ali Lu Zhichuan’s statement.

Jiang Qin adheres to the principle of doing whatever he can and never offending the boss. He also talked back and forth with Che Zulu, but he did not answer the conversation on some key issues. He only expressed his positivity when the other party said "there is an opportunity to cooperate." Attitude.

“The group currently has enough funds, thank you Mr. Peng for your concern, but we may have other opportunities for cooperation.”

“Oh? What is Mr. Jiang referring to?”

Jiang Qin coughed: "Our Zhihu is the largest campus forum in the country, with tens of millions of student users. I heard that you have a communication service application called WeChat. You can use our Zhihu to promote it."

Peng Sheng thought for a moment: "When will President Jiang come to Shencheng? Can we discuss it in detail?"

“There should be a chance to go there in the next two months.”

 “Okay, I will sweep the couch to greet you then.”

Jiang Qin thought for a while, and then said again: "Mr. Peng, I have another question."

Peng Sheng's voice came from the receiver: "Mr. Jiang, please speak."

 “Does Mr. Ma Huateng have a daughter?”

 “Um? She has a daughter.”

 “Oh, so her birthday is June 22nd?”

 “This…should not be the case.”

 Jiang Qin nodded, hung up the phone, and glanced at the QQ message sent by a high school classmate: Today is the birthday of Ma Huateng's daughter. If you forward this message to ten groups, you can get a free one-month membership.

 “Stop messing with your hair, I just asked, today is not his daughter’s birthday!”

Boss Jiang typed a line of words and came back with an arrogant expression.

Tencent and Alibaba have been competing against each other in Taiwan. Whether it is the e-commerce platform or the group buying industry, the two companies are very fierce.

Especially the subsequent emergence of WeChat Pay, which can be said to have truly shaken the foundation of Alibaba and directly invaded Alibaba’s ecological layout.

Jiang Qin doesn't like to get involved in this kind of melee where he charges for others, but now that he's been targeted, he might as well be a two-and-a-half-year-old who can get both sides of the situation, and then see if there's any advantage he can take advantage of.
