I have a thousand suites in Shenzhen

Chapter 243 Who plagiarized whom?
At the same time, another war has begun, that is, the competition in electronic payments.

With the advent of the 3G era, smartphones have been equipped with the function of scanning QR codes to pay, and electronic payments have begun to develop from online to offline.

Simply scan the QR code with your mobile phone to complete the payment. You no longer need to carry your wallet when you go out, and you no longer have to worry about pickpockets when taking the bus.

It is also very convenient for store owners to collect payments. They can just use the QR code to collect payments.

Both Tao Pay and Anjing Pay attach great importance to the offline QR code payment market. One is vigorously promoting it in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the other is promoting it in eastern Guangdong. They have sent a large number of local promoters to go deep into the streets and alleys, working hard to promote the QR code payment market. Store owners are promoting the use of QR codes to collect payments.

In order to promote QR code collection, Quiet Pay took the lead in launching the activity of scanning QR codes to receive red envelopes, and it was very vigorous. For the first time, you could scan the QR code to receive red envelopes. If you are lucky, you can receive a red envelope worth tens of yuan for payment in the store.

Moreover, the activity of scanning the QR code to receive red envelopes is carried out every day, and you can scan the QR code to receive red envelopes every day.

However, scan the QR code to receive the red envelope. If there is no consumption, there is no way to scan the code to receive the red envelope. If you want to receive the red envelope again, you must send out the red envelope you received by scanning the code before, and you can scan the code to receive the red envelope again the next day.

Such a good thing has been passed on to others, as well as strong recommendations from shop owners who have already participated in scanning QR codes to collect money. Many people have fallen in love with scanning QR codes to receive red envelopes.

In a rice noodle shop, after a young man finished eating rice noodles, he took out his wallet and asked the proprietress of the rice noodle shop: "I paid the bill, how much did it cost?"

"Two dollars!" the landlady said with a smile.

"Fellow! Now you can scan the QR code to pay. Do you have the Quiet Payment APP installed on your phone?"

"Now you can scan the QR code to pay, and you can also scan the QR code to receive a red envelope. Just now a girl scanned the QR code to receive a red envelope and received 88 yuan."

"However, I am very lucky to receive an 88 yuan red envelope, but even if it is less, at least for the first time I scan the QR code to receive a red envelope, I should be able to receive a dozen or 20 yuan."

"And from now on you can scan the QR code to receive red envelopes every day. The red envelopes you receive will be less and less, but no matter how small it is, it is still only one or two yuan. Scan the QR code and receive a red envelope every day, which is almost enough for breakfast. .”

"Boss Boss! Are you really kidding what you said? Where can I get a red envelope of 88 yuan by just scanning the code? That Jingjing Online Supermarket is about to go bankrupt." The young man was very surprised and a little uncomfortable. Said with daring belief.

"It's true. Why did I lie to you? I also received 23 yuan for the first time. I also scanned one today and received 1 yuan, 3 cents. Today is the lowest. I also received 8 yuan yesterday. It’s only 3 cent!”

As the boss lady spoke, she took out her mobile phone, opened the Anjing Pay page, and showed the young man the red envelopes she received by scanning the QR code every day.

"Wow! Is it so cool? Then I'm going to quickly download Anjing Pay and scan the code to get a red envelope to see how much money I can get."

The young man said happily after seeing the red envelope received by the lady boss by scanning the QR code.

The young man works in a factory and does not have a computer, so he has no habit of online shopping. It is very inconvenient to shop online without a computer.

Many people know that things are cheap online, but they don’t have a computer. If they want to place an order online, they have to either go to an Internet cafe or find a friend who has a computer.

But now the Jingjing Supermarket APP has been launched on mobile phones. You can directly shop online using your mobile phone. It is countless times more convenient than before.

However, there are still many working people who still use feature phones, such as Nokia, which can be used to make calls and crack walnuts.

However, there is no way to install the mobile phone APP of Quiet Supermarket on this kind of functional phone, so if they want to use their mobile phones to directly access the Internet and shop online, it is still not feasible.

However, this young man had just recently changed to a Huaxing smartphone and installed the Anjing Online Supermarket APP, but he did not download the Anjing Pay APP.

Now that you know that you can use Jingjing Pay APP and scan the code to receive red envelopes, what are you waiting for?
So the young man immediately downloaded the Anjing Pay APP, and then lightly scanned the QR code to receive the red envelope.

"Wow, I actually got 28 yuan. It turns out that scanning the QR code to receive a red envelope is so awesome! Then can I use this red envelope right away and scan the QR code to pay for the two yuan of rice noodles?" The young man looked at what he had received. red envelope, he said happily.

"Okay, you can scan my payment code now and pay two yuan." The landlady said with a smile.

"But you'd better use your 28-yuan red envelope today. You can scan the QR code to receive the red envelope tomorrow."

"But the red envelope you will get tomorrow won't be that big. It might only be a few dollars. If you're lucky, it might be seven or eight dollars. If you're not lucky, it might be two or three dollars."

"You can still get seven or eight yuan tomorrow, that's not bad! Even two or three yuan is fine, it's free money anyway." The young man said with a smile.

The reason why this boss lady works so hard to promote Quiet Pay by scanning the QR code to receive red envelopes is actually driven by profit, because the more people scan the QR code to receive red envelopes from her, the more performance commissions she can get. .

Offline scanning code payment is a new thing. If you want to promote it and let more people accept this method of consumption payment, it must be driven by profits.

Therefore, when the promotion first started, the cost of promotion was very high. For example, people who received red envelopes for the first time received dozens of yuan at a time. It was definitely impossible to do this for a long time. It was only because there were few people at the beginning.

To put it bluntly, this kind of marketing is entirely done with money.

But if you don’t need to spend money and want to promote it quickly, how can it be so easy?

A few days later, even if a newcomer scans the QR code to receive a red envelope for the first time, the maximum amount will be five or six yuan, and seven or eight yuan is already a lot. As for scanning the QR code to receive red envelopes every day, it will only cost about one yuan.

Moreover, this kind of event cannot be held for a long time. It usually only lasts for a week.

If such promotion activities are held for a long time, no one can stand it! It's too expensive.

It is normal to burn tens of millions or hundreds of millions of yuan a day. After all, there are hundreds of millions of users across the country. But now, there are definitely not so many people scanning QR codes to pay offline, let alone just a Shenzhen city. .

After years of development, the number of real-name authenticated users of Quiet Pay has officially exceeded the 8000 million mark. However, after Shenzhen launched an offline activity of scanning QR codes to receive red envelopes, during the short one-week promotion activity, only Shenzhen The number of real-name authentication users in the town increased by nearly half a million.

At this time, the population of Shenzhen City was just over 1000 million. In other words, within this week, one-twentieth of Shenzhen residents became real-name authenticated users of Quiet Payment.

This number is already very impressive, but the price paid is not small! On the first day of the event alone, 1000 million yuan was burned.

Not only new users can scan the QR code to receive red envelopes, but old users can also scan the QR code to receive red envelopes. The promotion cost will naturally not be low. In one week of activities, a total of 5000 million yuan was spent on promotion fees, and 50 new users were added. The average promotion fee for a new user was as high as 100 yuan.

However, the effect of the promotion is pretty good, and many people have become familiar with Yu'E Bao and have transferred their current balances in their bank cards to Quiet Pay's Yu'E Bao.

The same is 1 yuan, and the interest earned on current savings in the bank is not much, probably only a few dozen yuan a year. Even if it is a fixed deposit, it is only more than 200 yuan a year.

However, if you put it on Qui-Pay's Yu'e Bao, you can earn more than one yuan in interest a day, which is nearly 400 yuan a year.

The key is that the money is placed on Quiet Pay's Yu'E Bao and can be withdrawn at any time without any restrictions.

As for depositing it in a bank, if it is deposited for a period of one year, and if you withdraw it less than one year, it will only be calculated as current interest, which is only a few dozen yuan at most.

We are not fools. We calculated in our minds and realized that it would be more cost-effective to deposit the money in Anjing Pay’s Yu’E Bao.

Not only is the interest rate high, but it is also very convenient.

However, Tao Paypay also refused to give in. Whatever move Anjing Paypay made, Tao Paypay would immediately follow suit.

It seems that Jack Ma is plagiarizing Anjing Pay, but only Yi Anguo knows very well that Anjing Pay is the one who plagiarised, because Yi Anguo originally used the tricks that Tao Pay used before he was reborn.

It's just that in this life, Yi Anguo used it first and became Tao Paypay, and followed him to learn from Anjing Paypay.

No matter who learned from whom, who copied whom? As long as the tricks are effective, these are inevitable things.

Both parties are spending money to seize the market. Stores and consumers have preconceived ideas. After getting used to using Anjing Pay to scan the QR code to pay, even if they know that Tao Pay is available, they will first choose Anjing Pay.

In the same way, if a customer is used to Tao Pay, he will habitually choose Tao Pay when using electronic payment, so he must seize the market.

Whoever occupies more market share will be more favorable for future development and will have more customers bound to it.

As soon as the money-burning war started, Tao Pay quickly seized the markets in major cities with Hangzhou as the center, winning the markets in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangdong, and Shanghai.

Jingjing Payment is centered in Shenzhen and is rapidly spreading in eastern Guangdong Province, seizing the market in eastern Guangdong Province, western Guangxi Province, Qionghai Province, and Minfu Province.

Later, Tao Pay and Anjing Pay entered Xijiang, Xiangnan Province, Northern Hubei Province, and Wan'an Province at the same time, seizing the market in the four provinces.

The routines of both parties are the same. You give out red envelopes, and I also give out red envelopes. However, in the fierce market competition, both parties are also maintaining relative restraint, at least not to the point of losing their minds. For now, it is still relatively good. Healthy competition.

In fact, both sides know very well that under the current circumstances, it is impossible for one family to dominate, and no one can destroy the other.

Since we can't destroy the other party, we naturally can't do anything. Even if we give out red envelopes, we have to have a certain amount. It's like the two parties have agreed upon it, and the red envelopes given are almost the same.

The happiest ones are of course the consumers. They not only scanned the Anjing Pay code and received the red envelope from Anjing Pay, but also scanned the Tao Pay code and received the red envelope from Tao Pay.

In addition to these happy consumers who can scan the QR code and receive red envelopes every day, the happiest people are the local merchants.

After all, if consumers want to scan the QR code to receive red envelopes every day, they must consume every day. If you want to consume, you must go to merchants to consume, and if you only receive a red envelope worth one yuan, it is impossible for you to just Buy something for one dollar!

So when Tao Pay and Anjing Pay were doing activities, the local market became obviously more active, and the business of various merchants became more prosperous.

The most painful ones are probably Anjing Pay and Taobao. In order to compete for the market, they send out red envelopes worth tens of millions every day.

However, with the promotion of both parties spending money and giving out red envelopes, the number of real-name authenticated users of both Tao Pay and Anjing Pay has increased sharply.

In order to be able to scan codes and receive red envelopes every day, many people have changed their mobile phones to smartphones. As a result, the sales of CSOT 3 smartphones have skyrocketed, including some 3G mobile phones from other domestic brands. Sales volume increased significantly and rapidly.

Due to the launch of the CSOT 3 smartphone, the prices of the previous CSOT 1st and 2nd generations have dropped significantly. Many consumers with low financial strength will also choose CSOT when choosing to buy smartphones. The first and second generations of smartphones are cheap and affordable. The key is that the smartphone also supports 1G and can also be scanned to pay.

As a result, Huaxing smartphones not only occupy the high-end mobile phone market, but also the mid-range mobile phone market.

Huaxing smartphones have been launched for only three years, and a new generation is updated every year. This year is the third year, and the Huaxing 3 smartphone has been launched.

Currently, the most high-end mobile phones on the Chinese market are Apple phones, Samsung phones, and China Star phones.

The first two major brands are all foreign brands of mobile phones. Among the domestic high-end mobile phone brands, only Huaxing Smartphones is competing against Apple mobile phones and Samsung mobile phones alone to carve up the domestic high-end mobile phone market.

Nokia mobile phones, which were once a smash hit, have begun to come to an end and cannot keep up with the times.

Yi Anguo knows that Nokia mobile phones will completely withdraw from the domestic market in the future. In the era of smartphones, it can be said to be a complete failure.

Many mobile phone brands have emerged in China, but many of them produce copycat mobile phones without their own core technology. They can only rely on purchasing various accessories to assemble them, and they can only compete in the mid-to-low-end mobile phone market.

The current copycat mobile phone market is very hot, and the major copycat mobile phone manufacturers seem to be thriving.

But Yi Anguo also knows that the era of copycat mobile phones will soon be over. After Rebus launches the Xiaomei mobile phone, the era of copycat mobile phones will be completely over.

Xiaomei Mobile has redefined mobile phones. It has placed its sales channels mainly online, saving a lot of channel fees. There is no middleman to make the difference, and the price is directly set to the lowest, which does not allow copycat mobile phones to survive at all.

Although the cost of copycat mobile phones is relatively low, the sales channel expenses are indeed very high. The middlemen make a large amount of the price difference. The profits earned by real copycat mobile phone manufacturers are not high.

In addition, there is no guarantee of quality. Of course, consumers will choose Xiaomei phones with better quality and less expensive prices. Therefore, Xiaomei phones sold out as soon as they were launched online, with more than 30 phones sold in one day. Thousands of mobile phones.

However, Rebus’s Xiaomei company has just been established and has not yet launched his Xiaomei mobile phone. Therefore, the current mobile phone market is still a mixed bag, filled with a large number of copycat brand mobile phones, and the manufacturers of various copycat brand mobile phones are still Live very nourishingly.
