Age of Dreams

Westerners do not have as many festivals as in China, but they have also been popularized globally in recent years.

For example, Christmas, which originally had nothing to do with Chinese people, has now become a relatively important holiday in China.

Because they feel the western atmosphere and fashion of Christmas, businesses continue to promote the concept of Christmas, and they want young people to consume and buy things on this day.

Young people are indeed eating this set, which has caused Christmas to become more and more lively, and the bigger the city, the more lively it seems to be more popular than Valentine's Day.

This is true even in China, let alone in the West.

And Christmas and the Western New Year are linked together. Usually, some companies put Christmas and New Year holidays together, so that people have a better rest and more time to spend.

Of course, online shopping has become a very popular way nowadays. Many people make payments online, especially when buying things.

It is a very common thing for everyone to give gifts to each other during the Chinese New Year.

Such things are not only popular in the East, but also in the West.

As long as there are people, there is a form of courtesy and communication.

In addition to the WeChat red envelope mode of sending red envelopes to each other, Xiao Qi also thought of another wrapp mode that is not so popular but is very interesting to give gifts.

Wrapp is an electronic gift card company founded in Sweden. It connects users' Facebook accounts and then tells users the birthdays of your relatives and friends.

You can choose a person to pay for a gift card, such as $100, to give to relatives and friends, and then on the birthday, he can receive this gift card, and then he can take the gift card and go to the gift card Those designated merchants purchase and consume.

You can also choose to pool together to buy gift cards. For example, a few friends and brothers and sisters will pool together money to buy a $1,000 gift card to give to a good friend or parent.

Similarly, this large-value gift card is only received on birthdays, which is also a surprise.

In fact, wrapp is very simple, it is equivalent to buying gift cards sold by Wal-Mart, Carrefour, etc., to give to friends and relatives, but it adds a few gimmicks.

The first is the electronic card on the Internet, and the second is that it is sent by the system on the birthday, which is a surprise; the third is that this gift card is not only available to one merchant, but there are hundreds of wrapps in Sweden. All contracted e-gift card merchants can use this gift card.

Other than that, it's really nothing special.

It’s just that the previous world’s wrapp has become a mess in Sweden, and then it is said that the United States and the United Kingdom are also actively trying to introduce this software, with a valuation of 500 million US dollars at one time. This is still its valuation only in the Swedish market. When it comes to development in other countries in Europe and the United States, it will certainly start at least US$1 billion, which can be described as small software and big wealth.

In fact, Xiao Qi feels that wrapp can become the gift card software of Xiaoyao Mall, and it can be done by Xiaoyao Mall.

But in European and American countries, Xiaoyao Mall is not so popular, and the use of wrapp is limited to only one merchant, which is certainly not that popular.

Therefore, Xiao Qi recently started to wonder how to improve wrapp and make it the number one giant of online electronic gift cards.

It's not because the previous wrapp will be launched around March next year, and Xiao Qi must be ahead of them.

For wrapp's creativity and specific operating mode, Xiao Qi registered a global patent in 2007. Even if someone else creates it, Xiao Qi can tell them to automatically go bankrupt.

I chose this time because Xiao Qi felt that now it is a very mature period of online shopping, social networking sites are also booming, and it is time for wrapp to show its talents.

It is definitely inappropriate to nest in one country in Sweden as in the previous life. It has not been popular in the world for a long time, and it is completely incompatible with the trend of electronic software globalization.

If you want to say that the founders in the previous life were limited in strength and too cautious, Xiao Qi certainly didn't have these problems.

With Xiao Qi's financial resources and his understanding of Wrapp, if it is implemented globally from the beginning, nothing will go wrong.

Just like the previous life, just linking the Facebook account is obviously too narrow.

Xiao Qi can completely associate wrapp with facebook, twitter, linkedin, tagged, Wechat, Weibo, etc., so that more social software can use wrapp and make it a truly globalized one.

In this way, wrapp will have at least 3 billion users. Although many of them are duplicates, such a large user base will definitely bring huge traffic and usage to it.

In terms of electronic gift cards, Xiao Qi plans to make it a universal currency model on the Internet.

In other words, Xiao Qi is going to let this electronic gift card be able to buy goods from basically all e-commerce websites and online stores of private shops, giving people more choices.

Actually speaking, this is just a kind of currency, or that sentence, and there is no essential difference between the red envelopes given by WeChat.

It is not so easy to achieve this step.

First of all, the first and most difficult thing to solve is not how to communicate with large and small business websites and individual merchants. This problem is actually relatively simple, because they just have one more channel for merchandise sales, and they don’t have to pay anything at all. It's just a little service fee. Compared with the increased turnover, this service fee is really too small.

The most difficult thing to solve is how to make electronic gift cartoons all over the world.

The United States has American currency, Japan has Japanese currency, and France has its own currency. People in these countries, if they receive an electronic gift card from someone in another country, then there is an exchange rate exchange, and how to use or withdraw cash. problem.

Therefore, a global-scale bank is absolutely indispensable. Only such a large bank can handle currency and exchange problems easily and freely.

Fortunately, Xiao Qi also has many partners in the banking and financial industry. Needless to say, within China, outside of China’s traditional sphere of influence, Citibank and Credit Suisse First Boston Bank can provide Xiao Qi. All financial support about wrapp.

For these banks, this is also a good thing for mutual assistance and mutual benefit.

After all, so many users use their banks to open accounts, transfer funds, settle accounts, etc., which is equivalent to the development of one of their businesses, and the scale is not small, so the two banks are definitely welcome.

And as long as this circulation problem is solved, then the electronic gift card will naturally be used all over the world.

for example.

For example, Xiao Tiantian’s birthday is here, and fans all over the world want to pool money to buy her a small plane.

Then, regardless of whether you are American, Chinese, Japanese or Indian, regardless of what currency you use, go to the wrapp to recharge and collect money. After the final processing through the wrapp system, it will be converted into the local currency, which is Xiaotian Sweet’s motherland currency, US dollars, will be sent to Xiaotian’s wrapp electronic account on her birthday.

In this way, won't the global e-gift cards be connected?

And the coverage area of ​​wrapp can naturally spread all over the world, so that people all over the world can use wrapp to receive and send out electronic gift cards!

Then you can calculate how much the wrapp for the global market will be worth.

If you don’t mention it, the price should start at 1 billion U.S. dollars and 2 billion U.S. dollars!

And it can also become another Internet finance company, which actually has many banking functions.

There are also many other benefits.

For example, if you send e-gift cards to your friends in advance, it can be as short as one or two days, two or three weeks, as long as one or two months, and more than half a year, until the day when the e-gift card is spent, such a long time, The funds are deposited in the account of Wrapp, and the daily interest generated is all from Wrapp.

Wrapp doesn't have any operating venues all over the world. It is similar to WeChat. It only needs to have a headquarters. At most, after it has grown and developed, it will be enough to gather some staff who are proficient in various languages.

The expenses are not large, and the profits are very generous. This kind of business is very cost-effective!

Because of this, Xiao Qi started this month and asked Hoffman to recruit professional managers. After setting up the team, he immediately started research and development ~www.readwn.com~ Due to the technology, use direction, and details of the whole child, Xiao Qi made a very clear plan, so the most important thing for the management team is the maintenance after development. The problem is not big.

Especially in places like Silicon Valley where computer talents and electronic engineers are everywhere, recruiting suitable candidates is not a hassle.

The initial operation is about 100 people, which is just a small startup company in Silicon Valley.

Hoffman also told Xiao Qi that if there is nothing wrong, the wrapp can be launched and operated in up to three months.

The country of operation is naturally the United States.

Who knows that the American people are very passionate about network affairs?

As long as you can become famous here, it will not be difficult to go global again! (To be continued.)
