Chapter 458 The Crystallization of Friendship (Page 12)
"Mr. Chen, Robin has gone to Yongcheng."
"?"
Chen Jiaxin was sitting at her desk drinking coffee. After hearing this sentence, she had the same reaction as Yang Xueyu just now, with a stunned expression and found it a bit difficult to understand.
LaShou.com currently has only three general managers, namely Luo Ping, Robin and Kang Jingtao.
Luo Ping now helps La Shou manage the 23rd tier cities in the north, while Kang Jingtao cut off his family's foundation in Shenzhen and was directly demoted to Star City.
There is only one Robin left, who is left in Beijing to manage the group buying business.
Now that LaShou.com's business in Beijing continues to fail, Robin suddenly went to the south, which is not normal at all.
"If he leaves now, does he plan to give all his business in Beijing to the group tour?"
Yang Xueyu shook his head: "I'm not sure what they want to do."
Chen Jiaxin put down her tea cup and looked out the window: "Nuomi, Lashou, Wowo Tuan, and us, two of the four first-tier group buying websites were driven away by group buying, and we and Wo Wo Tuan are also struggling to hold on."
"..."
If Chen Jiaxin didn't say this, Yang Xueyu might not think so, but if you really think about it carefully, it is really the case.
After the group buying market became popular, there were as many as 6 group buying websites registered and operating, but only a handful of them can really gain a foothold in first-tier cities.
In addition to Suixin Tuan, which died at the front, there are also four companies: Lashou.com, Nuomi.com, Dianping, and Wowo Tuan.
At that time, group buying was still unknown, and it was not even included in the 23rd echelon. It could only be classified into the category of "College Student Group Buying Network".
As a result, for half a year, they worked step by step, not in a hurry, and forced Nuomi and Lashou to flee.
The remaining two companies, Dianping in Beijing and Wowo Tuan in Guangzhou, have also been pushed to the edge of the cliff step by step by group shopping.
"It seems that in half a year, group shopping can even dominate the first-tier market across the country."
"Really? But I always feel that La Shou's secret retreat this time is a bit weird. It doesn't seem like their style."
Chen Jiaxin stood up and paced back and forth, and then spoke: "Lashou is good at fighting quickly, and he also likes to poach people everywhere. His style is very aggressive. The city gate has not yet been lost, and they actually ran away?"
Yang Xueyu thought for a moment: "Maybe he has learned the lessons of Shanghai and Shenzhen? Don't want to be defeated by Gu Ming too much?"
"No, I always feel like there's something else going on here."
Yang Xueyu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly recalled some details: "When I was on the phone with Robin just now, I didn't feel that he was depressed. Instead, he was a little proud, which is quite strange."
Chen Jiaxin looked at her: "Could it be related to Ali? Didn't they go to Hangzhou some time ago?"
"..."
Three minutes later, Chen Jiaxin and Yang Xueyu’s eyes were fixed on the computer screen.
They didn't do much research, they just randomly searched Alibaba, and then saw a lot of news about Alipay.
Alipay, UnionPay Business, Tenpay... A total of 27 companies obtained payment licenses issued by the central bank at the end of May, allowing third-party non-bank companies to carry out payment services for the first time.
Alipay CEO Ms. Pang Rui said in an interview that she was grateful for the trust and recognition of the central bank. Alipay will establish a safe, open, orderly and convenient mobile payment platform under the guidance of the central bank.
Seeing this news, the two fell into silence for an instant.
"No wonder Lashou dared to give up Beijing and grab the 23rd tier market in the south..."
"It turns out that they wanted to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the group, preserve their strength, sink into the market, and then wait for Alipay's business to go online before quickly coming back."
"This is not a technical barrier, this is a policy barrier."
“The trouble for joining a group is huge.”
Chen Jiaxin let go of the mouse, leaned on her chair and was silent for a long time. Only then did she realize the coming storm, so she immediately called the boss of Dianping.
The boss of Dianping first praised Chen Jiaxin for his astuteness, and then told him that he was now at the Tencent headquarters in Shenzhen.
"At the end of September, the mobile version of Tenpay will launch the quick payment 9-point service. You only need to bind your bank card and perform double verification to make payment."
"By that time, our app will be almost complete, and the technical team will directly integrate the mobile payment terminal."
"This may be an opportunity for us to make a comeback and dominate the market, but we must keep a low profile in the early stage."
Hearing this, Chen Jiaxin was instantly relieved, then hung up the phone and shared the news with Yang Xueyu.
Tenpay is a third-party payment platform developed by Tencent in 05. However, due to limitations of technology, policies and network conditions, it is more like a Q-coin recharge tool.
Now that it has also obtained a payment license, it will definitely enter the mobile payment field immediately and seize the opportunity.
After all, payment software can be said to be a foundation for Internet commerce, and big companies like Tencent will not be willing to give up this outlet.
Today's group buying websites still rely on PCs and online banking tools, but when mobile payment opens up the payment channel, users can directly take out their mobile phones to buy coupons. The difference is really huge.
From this point of view, the team fight is bound to fail!
Because Internet commerce itself is developing rapidly in the direction of convenient life, this is also the reason why group buying websites have become popular.
When you become the most inconvenient choice, you are destined to be eliminated by the market.
In other words, their biggest opponent, the oppressive and breathless group, is about to collapse, because there is no major Internet company with a payment license to back him up.
"But Mr. Chen, it will take time for mobile payment to become popular."
"Yes, but it will definitely be popularized in first-tier cities first, and big manufacturers are particularly willing to burn money in this regard. All the main business areas of the group are in first-tier cities, so it will definitely collapse within half a year."
“But if that time comes, Tuan Tuan is likely to accept shares from major manufacturers.”
"Then it can't escape the fate of being merged and acquired. Maybe we will end up in the merger and acquisition group?"
Chen Jiaxin and Yang Xueyu looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly felt that their shoulders became very relaxed, as if a big mountain had suddenly been moved away.
They settled in Shanghai and were brutally beaten by gangs. When they returned to Kyoto, their legs were pushed open and stabbed inside.
Along the way, they have bullied men and women in group buying, but they never imagined that they would soon become the biggest bubble in the group buying market due to the rapid changes of the times.
"Mr. Chen, do we want to learn how to join forces and start planning for tier 1 cities first?"
Yang Xueyu thought of a key issue at this time.
"This must be done, but Beijing cannot give up."
Chen Jiaxin pursed her lips and said: "Even if the group tour will be the first to leave due to payment restrictions, we still need to compete with LaShou in the future, so we cannot lose the first-tier cities, so at least we can be one step faster."
Yang Xueyu took a deep breath: "I wonder if Gu Ming will be sweating when he hears this news."
At the same time, in Hongrong's home, the sun was already setting towards the Western Mountains, and bursts of noise came from the opposite side.
