The richest man

Chapter 267 Scan the code to pay
Tonight at midnight, the official website of Legend Technology, Amazon, eBay, Taobao, Qunar and other websites will officially open the online sales channels for iPhone 0.

At present, many people stay in front of their computers or mobile phones, open shopping websites, and refresh them from time to time.

At the same time, there are endless discussions on the Internet about iPhone 2 and artificial intelligence Siri.

iPhone 2 and Siri topped the Weibo hot search list overnight.

It's almost morning.

Everyone couldn't help but become more excited and nervous.

"This time I must grab an iPhone 2, God bless, the time has come to fight for character!!!" A man said to himself.

"If we can't get the iPhone 2, we will break up!" the girlfriend said to her boyfriend.

"Hey hey, my home network speed is 10M bandwidth, who can beat me!" the game nerd laughed heartily.

"..."

In the early hours of the morning, countless players frantically snapped up iPhone 2, and each person was limited to only one.

In the past 5 minutes, a total of 200 million iPhone 2s have been sold on the entire network.

Half an hour later, the total sales of iPhone 2 exceeded 500 million units.

It was at this time that the sales of the iPhone 2 dropped significantly, and people who wanted to buy the iPhone 2 had already snapped up the iPhone 2 immediately.There are also a large number of people who don't want to stay up late or plan to go to a physical store to buy an iPhone [-] during the next day.

The sun rises.

There was already a long queue at the entrance of the Legend Store, a sea of ​​people, shoulder to shoulder, once blocking the traffic.

Looking at the grand occasion, the number of consumers buying iPhone 2 in physical stores is even more than the number of people snapping up iPhone 2 online.

At this time, online shopping has not been able to achieve next-day delivery, and it takes at least 3 days to deliver the goods to consumers.

Many people can't wait and want to get the iPhone2 as soon as possible, so they can only rush to the legendary store in the physical store.

There is no doubt that the local police station once again dispatched police to maintain order.

"Every time this day comes, it is our busiest time," a newly recruited police officer complained to his colleagues while standing guard to maintain order.

"Hehe, brother, we are a little tired, but Legend Technology will give us each an iPhone in the end, which is worth $999, and it's hard to find one! What else are you not satisfied with?" The old policeman patted the young policeman's shoulder with a smile, and said.

Hearing this, the young policeman immediately showed surprise on his face. He nodded quickly and said, "Satisfied, very satisfied! I didn't expect those of us who maintain order to get an iPhone 2 for free."

……

The iPhone 2 is more popular among consumers than the iPhone 1 smartphone. Once it was released, it sold like crazy for two consecutive weeks.

By the end of 2006, the total sales of iPhone 2 exceeded 5000 million units, which really made other mobile phone manufacturers envious.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 1 and iPhone 1 pro were discontinued.

Neither phone supports Siri.

In fact, Siri will be available on both phones as long as Legendary Technologies updates its software.However, in order to sell more iPhone2s, Legend Technology will not be stupid to do such a thing.

Many consumers plan to buy another iPhone 2 within a few months.

iPhone 1 and iPhone 1 pro don’t have Siri, it feels soulless to use it~
Legendary Technologies Inc.

The ipod is still being updated. Needless to say, there are not many things that can be improved. In the future, the ipod will be directly killed by the iPhone and be forced to stop production.

Right now, Legend Technology is developing ipad tablet computer, iMac desktop computer all-in-one machine and iBook notebook computer.

These products will be launched at next year's "Double Eleven" launch event.

"Boss, the sales of iPhone 2 are really great. I predict that we can sell more than 1 million units!!!" Linghu Jinyu said excitedly.

Zhang Junduan sat on the first seat, showing a faint smile. Legendary Technology is much more famous than Apple in the previous life, and the number of Legendary fans far exceeds Apple fans.

iPhone 2 sales can break 1 million, there is absolutely no problem.

"iPad, iMac, and iBook need to be developed quickly!"

"Know!"

"In addition, the i series products need to add some new products, such as smart watches, AR glasses and VR glasses!" Zhang Jun paused, and carefully introduced Linghu Jinyu his views and understanding of the smart watch iWatch "In addition to indicating the time, the smart watch iWatch should also be able to implement functions such as making and receiving calls, Siri voice, messages, calendars, maps, taking pictures, videos, and assisting users in managing health information. If we say that such a Do you think consumers will like a smart watch?"

Linghu Jinyu was shocked and couldn't help but nodded: "It will definitely!"

Zhang Jun added: "As for the functions of AR glasses, they should also be very rich. They should be able to realize functions such as taking pictures, video calls, surfing the Internet, processing emails, and real-time translation..."

Hearing this, Linghu Jinyu nodded repeatedly, remembering Zhang Jun's words.

AR technology is called augmented reality technology in Chinese. As the name suggests, it superimposes the virtual world generated by computers on the real world.

There are subtle differences between AR and VR, one is augmented reality technology and the other is virtual reality technology.For now, the application scenarios of AR technology in reality are more extensive than VR.

Legendary Technology has also invested a lot of money in AR research and development.

……

……

CCTV Building.

"Director Xi, our legendary technology company wants to cooperate with CCTV Spring Festival Gala!"

Zhang Jun sat in the office with Xi Feijie, the person in charge of CCTV, drinking tea and chatting.

Xi Feijie thought that Legendary Technology wanted to advertise on the Spring Festival Gala, so he nodded and agreed: "Haha, no problem, it's a trivial matter!"

Zhang Jun smiled and said, "Director Xi, the cooperation between Legend Technology and CCTV Spring Festival Gala is a bit different from previous years."

"Oh... what's different? Could it be that there is something new in this cooperation?" Xi Feijie asked curiously.

Zhang Jun nodded and said: "Yes, our company plans to give out 10 billion RMB to all viewers who watch the Spring Festival Gala as red envelopes."

Xi Feijie was taken aback when he heard the words, "Boss Zhang, I heard you right, you want to give the audience 10 billion yuan in red envelopes? I don't understand that, let alone how to send out the red envelopes, 10 billion yuan is not a small amount. The number..."

"Hehe, 10 billion yuan is not bad, not much. Our Legend Technology company is going to promote "Facebook Payment" and "QR code" this time.During the Spring Festival Gala, viewers take out their mobile phones, open Facebook, and scan the 'QR code' on the TV screen to receive red envelopes. "

Zhang Jun said slowly, "In recent years, with the rise of the Internet and other forms of entertainment, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala have been decreasing year by year, especially young people, who don't like to watch the Spring Festival Gala anymore. But this cooperation For both of us, it is definitely a win-win situation! The audience will definitely watch the Spring Festival Gala in order to scan the QR code to receive red envelopes, and the Spring Festival Gala cooperates with Facebook, which will cater more to young people and keep pace with the times!"

Hearing this, Xi Feijie couldn't help but secretly nodded, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Boss Zhang, can you demonstrate how to scan a QR code?"

"of course can."

Zhang Jun had already made preparations and signaled to the secretary beside him.

The secretary got a sign with a QR code and put it on the coffee table. Zhang Jun took out his mobile phone, scanned the QR code, and received a red envelope of 168 yuan.

Xi Feijie watched the operation of Zhang Jun and others the whole time, and couldn't help feeling that the operation was so simple.

Zhang Jun smiled and said to Xi Feijie: "In addition to scanning the QR code to receive red envelopes, Facebook friends can also send red envelopes and transfer money to each other. Facebook has also opened a payment function, just use your bank card and Facebook account Binding, you can pay directly on mainstream online shopping platforms such as Taobao, Amazon, eBay, and Qunar.”

Hearing this, Xi Feijie took out her iPhone 2, only to find that her Facebook was different from Zhang Jun's Facebook.

Zhang Jun explained with a smile: "The latest version of the Facebook app has not been updated yet, and it will be automatically updated about a week before the Spring Festival Gala."

Xi Feijie took a sip of tea, laughed heartily, and said, "Facebook launched a red envelope function, which is festive and in line with our Chinese habits. I agree with the cooperation between Legend Technology and CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and I will definitely support you all." of!"

"Then thank you, Head Master!"

"You are too polite, we are mutually beneficial and win-win!"

After the top management of CCTV gets it done, it will be easy to handle afterwards.

Facebook quickly reached a series of in-depth cooperation with CCTV Spring Festival Gala. The host of CCTV Spring Festival Gala will announce Facebook and QR code before each performance.

On February 2007, 2, Facebook ushered in a major improvement, adding functions such as "scan", "Facebook payment", "red envelope" and "transfer".

CCTV and Legend Technology also used various resources to promote the activity of scanning QR codes on Facebook to receive red envelopes during the Spring Festival Gala.

"Shock! ! !Facebook actually wants to give out 10 billion red envelopes during the CCTV Spring Festival Gala! "

Everyone was really shocked, 10 billion yuan, if you are lucky, you can win tens of thousands of yuan.

"I'm going, Mr. Zhang Jun is throwing money this time, you must grab the red envelopes! This Spring Festival Gala is finally interesting..."

"It's true. Every Spring Festival Gala is not as good as every year. This year is a bit new. You can use Facebook to scan the QR code to grab red envelopes. It doesn't matter if you have money or not. I just like the fun of grabbing red envelopes!"

"..."

Many Facebook users in China were very pleasantly surprised, but if they want to send red envelopes, they must first bind their bank cards to Facebook.

Therefore, before the Spring Festival Gala started, many people were busy binding their bank cards to their Facebook accounts, and frequently sent red envelopes to their friends, especially on 2.14 Valentine’s Day, when Facebook launched Valentine’s Day The red envelope sending activity attracted users to send red envelopes. Within a day, more than 3000 million people participated and sent and received 1.2 million red envelopes!

In just a few days, there has been a trend of grabbing "New Year's red envelopes" in Facebook groups, and it will intensify with the arrival of the Spring Festival holiday.

February 2 New Year's Eve.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, the Spring Festival Gala program has not officially started, but the red envelope grabbing activity has already begun.

Many people posted the red envelopes they got by scanning the QR code on Weibo and Facebook.

On the Weibo hot search list, a lucky user who drew 1.5 yuan appeared.

This news spread quickly on the Internet, and for a while, it stimulated people even more.

"Mom and Dad, you should also quickly register a Facebook account. When the time comes, I will ask you to scan the QR code to grab red envelopes! Someone has already grabbed 1.5 yuan online!"

"Daughter, what is Facebook?"

"Facebook is a social software. We need money to make calls, but it is free to send voice and text on Facebook! Mom and Dad, it doesn't matter even if you can't type, you can send voice chat. It is said that Facebook In the future, the video chat function will be enabled, but we need to wait until the Legendary Technology Company releases the 4G network standard..."

"It's free, then quickly download a Facebook for us!"

"Ok!"

When registering Facebook with a mobile phone, the mobile phone account will be prompted as a Facebook account. After the registration is successful, friends in the mobile phone address book will be recommended according to the mobile phone address book.

For old users, Facebook will remind them that their Facebook account is bound to their phone number, and then recommend friends based on the user's mobile phone address book.

In this way, Facebook's acquaintance network is completely opened up.

In China, many middle-aged and elderly people do not know how to surf the Internet or type, and it is even their first contact with the Internet.

If it weren’t for Facebook’s sweeping QR code to grab red envelopes this time, most of the smartphones they bought were just for making calls.

At this moment, many people find that many people they are familiar with have also registered Facebook accounts, so they can’t help but add friends, send messages to each other, and send voices if they can’t type. It’s very simple. Press and hold the voice button to speak, and then Let go, and send what you want to say.

For a while, many aunts and uncles were enjoying themselves.

The left-behind staff of Legend Technology Company were shocked to see the registered and active users of Facebook in the background.

Shangguan Muye was very excited, and sent a message to Zhang Jun, who was serving as a guest at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala: "Boss, it's a success. As of now, there are as many as 2850 million new Facebook users in China, more than 3.5 million domestic Facebook users, and 56.5 red envelopes sent and received. [-] million!"

Zhang Jun felt his phone vibrate, took it out and saw that it happened to be a message from Shangguan Muye. After reading it, Zhang Jun couldn't help but smile, and simply replied "Got it", and then turned his gaze to the stage.

The Spring Festival Gala program at this time happened to be Zhao Benshan's sketch "Planning".

When Zhang Jun heard the phrase "a rooster that lays eggs, a fighter among roosters, oh yeah", he still couldn't help laughing.

……

The next day, the popular news in major media across the country was either the Spring Festival Gala or Facebook.

The investment community and the industry admired this activity planned by Facebook to scan the QR code to grab red envelopes.

Facebook red envelopes are obviously not just a success of a social product, behind the explosion of Facebook payment.Many users bound their savings cards to Facebook Pay in order to grab red envelopes and send red envelopes, making Facebook Pay's user growth a climax!
Netease News: "Racing red envelopes is actually a game between friends. When the Spring Festival is approaching, the topic of red envelopes naturally attracts attention. It provides users with an entertainment in the form of grabbing red envelopes, which shows Facebook's careful product design. The explosion of Facebook payments."

Ding Sanshi was envious again.

However, Netease wanted to do it, but couldn't.

The advantage of Facebook lies in its huge network of acquaintances. Even if Alipay launched the red envelope function, the effect may not be very good.

In addition, this Spring Festival Gala, users frequently used the "scan" function to scan the QR code, which can be regarded as cultivating users' usage habits.

The behavior of scanning QR codes is commonplace and no longer unfamiliar.

Just after the Lunar New Year, Legendary Technology Co., Ltd. began to promote offline "code scanning payment" on a large scale.

ParknShop Supermarket, Kanghui Supermarket, Alibaba Easy Convenience Store, Legend Store, Minmin Pharmacy, Watsons, Zhonghua Gas Station, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Binzhi Hotel, Legend Electric City, Legend Plaza, Legend Cinema, etc. all support facial recognition. Books and Alipay's "scan code payment" function.

Moreover, both Facebook and Alipay are launching promotional activities. As long as you use "scan code payment" offline, you can get rewards ranging from 0.01 yuan to 100 yuan each time.If you are lucky, you may even earn money after buying a product.However, there are only 5 lucky draw chances per day, lest someone take advantage of the bug and keep swiping.The higher the price of the product, the easier it is to win the jackpot.

Needless to say, this wave of operations quickly spread on the Internet, and then caused a sensation all over the country, causing great repercussions!

"Damn it, you can even get a lottery when you buy things. Mr. Zhang Jun is giving us benefits! Gogogo!!! Brothers, let's go shopping in the supermarket together!"

"Let's go together, let's go together! The boss has been very generous recently. Before, there were red envelopes, but now there are lottery draws for shopping. It's so cool!"

"Haha, there is an Alibaba easy convenience store downstairs, so I went to buy a pack of Master Kong instant noodles. I used Facebook to pay, and I won 100 yuan if I didn't pay attention!"

"Damn, I'm envious, I only got 0.01 yuan, which happens to be the minimum bonus, so bad luck..."

"..."

Profitable things, of course many people are willing to do it.

"Boss, I bought this book. Do you have 'scan code payment' here?" Yue Cuiqin took a fancy to a study material for the civil service exam, and said without talking to the shop owner, "What scan code payment, I don't have it here..."

"Oh, forget it, I'll go to another bookstore!" Yue Cuiqin sighed, and put the information book back on the shelf.

The bookstore owner was stunned, "Beauty, why didn't you buy it?"

"You don't have a QR code to pay here. Of course I don't want to buy it. Don't you know that now, if you use Facebook and Alipay to scan the QR code to pay, can you draw a lottery? I was lucky and won 100 yuan once! "

Yue Cuiqin looked at the owner of the bookstore and said, "Boss, I suggest you activate the 'scan code payment' function as soon as possible. Nowadays, young people like to use Facebook and Alipay to scan code payment. If you don't have it here, your business will definitely plummet."

"Beauty, how do you activate the 'scan to pay' function?"

"It's very simple. Both Facebook and Alipay have a merchant payment code. You can print it out, stick it on the counter, and let customers scan the code to pay."

"Oh, beauty, thank you for your reminder, I will study it later. By the way, I will give you this information book. If you didn't remind me, I wouldn't know about it!" Bookstore The boss thanked him. Some time ago, he played Facebook to grab red envelopes, and he knew a little about Facebook payment, but he was a little busy recently. He didn't expect that Facebook was actively promoting offline payment.If you choose Facebook payment for offline payment, you can draw a lottery. I think those young people will like it very much. No wonder the business in my store has declined sharply recently. It turns out that the function of "scan code payment" has not been activated. I will study this thing thoroughly later. , just at the entrance of the bookstore, it is specially written that the store supports Facebook and Alipay scan code payment...

"Then I will not be polite, thank you boss, I wish the boss a prosperous business!" Yue Cuiqin said happily, took the information book, and said goodbye to the bookstore owner.

……

Just draw a lottery when shopping, how can there be such a good thing?For a while, many people began to involuntarily choose to use Facebook Pay or Alipay when shopping. Gradually, everyone began to feel the convenience of Facebook Pay and Alipay.

After a period of time.

A video rushed to the top of Weibo's hot search list: "I used the method of video recording and spent a week to prove that even if you don't carry any cash notes and only need a mobile phone, you can live well !"

The video was reposted frantically, and many people couldn't help being surprised after watching it.

Ordering takeout, filling up the car, shopping at the supermarket... After a week, you really don't need cash.

At the end of the video, that person even challenged publicly, is there anyone who dares to challenge like him, or even challenge for a longer time.

Many netizens are not convinced.

"There's nothing wrong with this, I can stick to it for a year!" Many people expressed that this is really not difficult. The companies under Zhang Jun's name are located in major cities across the country, and they all support "scan code payment". It almost covers people's life and work, and there is no need for banknotes at all.

More and more people are beginning to accept the challenge, and "scan code payment" has rapidly become popular in China.

And more and more merchants have also started to join in, and they have hung up a QR code sign in the store, and it has become more convenient to collect money. In the past, it was very troublesome to use cash, and it was a waste of money. After a lot of time, now there is "scan code payment", which greatly improves work efficiency.

……

Legendary Technologies Inc.

Zhang Jun was very satisfied with the promotion effect of "scan code payment".Although the number of merchants at this time is still very small, according to the current development trend, it will definitely be the same as in the previous life. Almost every store has opened the "scan code payment" function.

Scanning code payment is only one type of mobile payment. Next, Legend Technology needs to win more payment scenarios, and actively expand the market in retail, transportation, sea, medical, life and other scenarios!

"In the food delivery industry, competitors such as Meituan and Ele.me..."
