Rebirth of wealth and freedom starts from the World Cup

In the early hours of the morning, the silence of the Internet world was broken by a shocking piece of news. The headline of the Tianlai APP was like a thunderclap, instantly setting off the Internet: "Heguang Technology led the investment, Pinduoduo raised $2 million in Series B financing!"

This news not only quickly climbed to the top of the hot search lists on major social platforms, but also became a hot topic within and outside the industry.

This financing transaction not only broke the record of B round financing in the domestic e-commerce industry in recent years, but also highlighted the influence of Heguang Technology.

As a leading company in the domestic Internet short video social field, every strategic move of Heguang Technology has attracted much attention. This time, its lead investment in Pinduoduo has undoubtedly sent a strong signal - the innovative model in the e-commerce field is being highly recognized by the capital market. Heguang Technology's heavy investment in Pinduoduo indicates its optimism and support for emerging business models.

At the same time, Pinduoduo's user base has grown rapidly, breaking through the 1 million mark in a short period of time. This milestone achievement demonstrates the huge market potential of its unique social e-commerce model.

Pinduoduo has successfully attracted the attention of a large number of consumers with its innovative concept of group shopping. Its rapid rise is eye-catching, and its wide market acceptance proves the success of its business model and its accurate grasp of consumer needs.

Just the day after receiving financing, Pinduoduo announced its merger with another company under Huang Zheng, Pinhaohuo. This news acted as a catalyst, further increasing the outside world's attention to Pinduoduo.

After the merger, Pinduoduo not only strengthened its supply chain strength, but also broadened its product line, providing users with more abundant shopping choices.

With the support of well-known investment institutions such as Tengxun, Gaorong Capital, and New Horizon Capital, Pinduoduo's capital lineup is luxurious, injecting strong momentum into its subsequent development.

This series of events made Pinduoduo stand out from many start-ups and become the dark horse in the e-commerce industry.

Its financing scale, user growth, and merger with Pinhaohuo not only demonstrate Pinduoduo's strong development momentum, but also reflect the capital market's confidence in its business model.

The continued lead investment from Heguang Technology and the entry of funds from Tengxun have undoubtedly paved a bright road for Pinduoduo's future, indicating that this young company will create greater waves in the e-commerce field and rewrite the industry landscape.

In the comment sections of the Tianlai APP and Douyin APP, as well as in the barrage of live broadcast rooms, the news about Pinduoduo's Series B financing quickly fermented and became the focus of heated discussion among netizens.

Many people expressed dissatisfaction and doubts about Heguang Technology's continued lead investment in Pinduoduo, believing that some of Pinduoduo's business practices harmed the rights and interests of merchants, especially its policies on handling consumer refund issues, which made many merchants feel angry and powerless.

A user named "Voice of Justice Merchants" posted a video on Douyin, describing his experience running a store on the Pinduoduo platform: "I worked hard to make products of high quality and fair price, but Pinduoduo's refund-only policy allowed some bad buyers to take advantage of it. Not only did I lose the goods, but I also lost the sales money. This practice is so unfair to merchants!"

Similar comments and expressions of support poured in below the video, with many merchants recounting their similar experiences and forming an "Anti-Pinduoduo Alliance". They called on Heguang Technology to reconsider its investment targets and hoped that Pinduoduo would change its rules that were unfavorable to merchants.

However, in the same ocean of comments, there is also another voice.

Some buyers believe that Pinduoduo's policy embodies the concept of "customer first" and they firmly support Pinduoduo's approach.

Some buyers said that they have used many e-commerce apps. After so many years of e-commerce disputes, Taobao and JD.com have mostly sided with the sellers, causing them to waste too much unnecessary time and energy in their shopping experience. Only Pinduoduo stands on the buyers' side and supports their interests and rights.

A user named "Shihuishenghuo" left a message: "As a consumer, I think Pinduoduo's refund-only policy protects the rights of consumers and avoids the risk of buying fake or inferior goods. Merchants should improve their product quality and service level instead of complaining about platform policies."

The idea of ​​"affordable life" resonated with many consumers. They believed that Pinduoduo's low-price strategy and strict after-sales policy are effective means to ensure that consumer interests are not infringed, and are also the development direction that the e-commerce industry should pursue.

In the comment sections of major short videos, a heated debate surrounding Pinduoduo's Series B financing and its platform policies has intensified.

As the video of "Voice of Just Merchants" quickly became popular, more and more merchants joined the online protest. Their emotions were high and their words were full of strong dissatisfaction with Pinduoduo's refund-only policy.

A user named "Honest Seller" left an indignant message: "I invested a lot of time and money to open a store on Pinduoduo. I thought I could compete fairly, but some malicious buyers took advantage of the platform rules. Not only did my products get taken away, but I didn't even get a penny of my money! This is simply a blatant insult to honest merchants!"

Another merchant named "Quality First" wrote: "I sell products that have undergone strict quality inspections, but on Pinduoduo, as long as the buyer is dissatisfied, they can easily get a refund, while I have to bear all the losses. This is a bolt from the blue for small merchants like us who make products with heart!"

As these voices converged, a wave of public opinion and force called "Anti-Pinduoduo Alliance" gradually formed on the Internet.

Merchants shared their experiences, ranging from malicious claims against products to unfair platform rules. Some even revealed Pinduoduo's high-pressure policies towards merchants, such as high commission deductions, complicated appeal processes and opaque punishment mechanisms, which made merchants feel disheartened and helpless.

However, in the face of protests from merchants, Pinduoduo's supporters did not back down.

They insisted that Pinduoduo's policies were designed to protect consumers from counterfeits and inferior goods, and that merchants should look for the reasons within themselves and improve product quality and service levels rather than simply blaming the platform.

A user named "Rational Buyer" countered: "The platform rules that merchants complain about are actually necessary protections for consumer rights. Imagine if the goods we bought have problems but we can't get a refund smoothly, then where are our rights?"

In this battle of online public opinion, merchants and buyers each held their own opinions and argued endlessly.

Merchants called on Pinduoduo and its investor Heguang Technology to reconsider their policies, hoping that the platform would treat all participants more fairly; while buyers insisted that e-commerce platforms should stand firmly on the side of consumers and protect their basic rights.

Zhao Zixuan's Tianlai APP account, a platform originally used to share industry insights and personal life, has now become the center of this online public opinion storm.

He has a special identity. He is the chairman of Heguang Technology and holds the power over investment decisions behind Pinduoduo. He is also a super V with 1500 million fans. His remarks and attitudes are enough to influence the public's view of Pinduoduo.

Therefore, Zhao Zixuan's account has become an important platform for merchants and buyers to express their respective positions.

Merchants left messages under Zhao Zixuan's updates, begging him to listen to their voices, pointing out that some of Pinduoduo's policies are unfair to merchants, and requesting that he, as an investor and industry leader, exert influence to urge Pinduoduo to improve its treatment of merchants.

They cited various examples, from the painful experience of malicious refunds to the unreasonable platform rules, and every sentence revealed helplessness and despair.

Buyers expressed their support for Pinduoduo under Zhao Zixuan's post. They believe that Pinduoduo's policies are a reflection of the protection of consumer rights and a symbol of progress in the e-commerce industry.

Buyers stressed that without strong consumer protection measures, e-commerce platforms will be full of fakes and fraud, and consumers' rights will be out of the question. Zhao Zixuan showed extraordinary calmness and professionalism in the face of this storm of online public opinion.

He knows very well that as the chairman of Heguang Technology, every move he makes may affect the company's image and the future development of Pinduoduo.

Therefore, Zhao Zixuan chose to maintain a neutral attitude, avoid directly intervening in the debate, and instead observe the development of the situation from a higher perspective.

To put it bluntly - let the bullets fly for a while!

Three days later, when the popularity and public opinion had almost reached a peak, Zhao Zixuan released a five-minute short video on the Tianlai APP.

He appeared in person in the work, directly expressing his firm support for consumer rights protection, while also emphasizing the importance of merchants in the e-commerce ecosystem.

Zhao Zixuan pointed out that Pinduoduo's success is inseparable from the efforts of every merchant, who provide a rich variety of goods and are the cornerstone of the platform's prosperity.

At the same time, Zhao Zixuan also affirmed the buyers' emphasis on consumer rights protection, believing that this is an indispensable part of the healthy development of the e-commerce industry.

Zhao Zixuan also stated in the video that the reason why Pinduoduo was able to rise rapidly and become a leader in the e-commerce industry is precisely because it took decisive and effective measures to protect the rights and interests of consumers.

He pointed out that strong consumer protection measures can not only purify the environment of e-commerce platforms and prevent the breeding of counterfeits and fraud, but also enhance consumers' trust in the platforms and promote a virtuous cycle in the entire e-commerce industry.

However, Zhao Zixuan also realized that the conflicts between merchants and buyers need to be properly resolved, otherwise it will affect the long-term stability of the e-commerce platform.

Therefore, he called on Pinduoduo to strengthen communication with merchants and jointly explore how to protect the rights and interests of consumers while safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of merchants to achieve a win-win situation for both parties.

Zhao Zixuan's short video received widespread praise as soon as it was released, and received more than 200 million likes on the same day. The number of fans following his personal account continued to rise, easily breaking through the 1800 million mark in one breath, and subsequently launched a charge towards the 2000 million fan mark!
Zhao Zixuan's influence has once again been strongly demonstrated on short video social media.

His short videos not only show his personal charm, but also convey positive values, which quickly made him a hot topic on the Internet. Fans were attracted by Zhao Zixuan's authenticity and wisdom and joined his personal account, forming a large and active online community.

On the last day of July, Zhao Zixuan ushered in another important moment - the official opening of Binance.

On this day, Yuan Shiwei, who came all the way from the United States, and Li Jiaming, who was focusing on AI education research and development at Shanghai University, were present to participate in this historic moment.

Yuan Shiwei has been studying blockchain technology with Zhao Changpeng in the United States these days, and now gives people the impression of being an expert in the field of blockchain technology.

Zhao Zixuan is well aware of the future development and general trend of blockchain, so he plans to transfer Yuan Shiwei from the work of HG.G Club and be responsible for the construction and development of Binance in the future.

At the opening ceremony, founder Zhao Changpeng delivered a passionate speech. He explained Binance’s mission and vision to the guests and media present, and pledged to build a secure, transparent, and user-friendly trading platform to create value for global users.

In contrast, Zhao Zixuan, the largest investor in Binance, never gave any speech, and there was not even a single shot of his face showing. He wore sunglasses and remained silent throughout the event, insisting on keeping a low profile to the end.

"Zixuan, let me introduce you to a beautiful girl. She is your die-hard fan and wants to take a photo with you."

While Zhao Changpeng was giving a speech on the stage, Li Jiaming suddenly appeared beside Zhao Zixuan with a beautiful girl with fair skin and pretty face.

The moment he saw the other person, Zhao Zixuan's eyes hidden under his sunglasses were slightly stunned.

"It's you……"

There was some surprise in his voice, and although it was very quiet, Li Jiaming still heard it.

Li Jiaming asked doubtfully: "You two, do you know each other?"

The beautiful girl also seemed a little confused. She tried hard to recall and search her mind for whether she had ever met Zhao Zixuan, but there seemed to be no trace of this young entrepreneur in her memory.

Zhao Zixuan quickly regained his composure and explained calmly, "I was mistaken. You look a lot like a friend of mine, but you're still different if you look closely."

His tone was calm, as if the surprise just now was just a brief illusion.

The beautiful girl nodded slightly, with a gentle smile on her lips, and introduced herself: "My name is Chen Yuanyuan, and I am a classmate of Mr. Li. I have always admired you, so when I knew you were coming this time, I thought that Mr. Li would bring me to meet you. Um... can I take a photo with you?"

Chen Yuanyuan, a name I haven’t heard for a long time.

Once upon a time, whenever Zhao Zixuan heard this name, his heart would always be filled with waves of emotion. But now he is no longer the same person he was before. When he sees his old friend again, he feels nothing but calm.

"Of course, nice to meet you, Chen Yuanyuan."

There was some emotion and intrigue in Zhao Zixuan's voice, but more of it was a remembrance of the past years and emotion for the person in front of him.

In the vast sea of ​​people, life is like dew. Among millions of people, not earlier or later, they finally met again in the Magic City.

As the shutter clicked, this moment was frozen forever.

In the photo, Zhao Zixuan and Chen Yuanyuan stand side by side, smiling politely and naturally. (End of this chapter)
