Rebirth: Super Banking System

Chapter 1786: Chapter 1615 Lifesaving Straw (Please subscribe!)

Shen City.

Peguin Headquarters.

The ’Payment Project Team’ that was just established this afternoon is working overtime collectively.

“Impossible.”

Experiencing it currently.

An engineer exclaimed.

“What?”

The eyes of the others gathered over.

“One hundred K can’t possibly fit the basic program for supporting QR code payment, at most just the interface data could fit in. If I’m not mistaken, the core program for scanning codes has already been inside for a long time.”

Saying this.

He looked incredulous.

If so.

Tang Qing is really sly, putting the functionality in advance, now it’s just equivalent to sending a command to activate it, and then a bit of ’putting on a show’, and the new functionality is instantaneously online, this operation is marvellous.

Speaking of that.

The others also realized that they were too eager to experience the payment functionality without considering this.

“There’s a problem.”

“One hundred K indeed can’t fit so many things.”

“We’re too behind.”

“Yeah, he had already hidden the update content inside long ago, but it’s unknown when it was added, every WeChat update before this was suspicious.” He said while deeply sighing.

Breaking into WeChat.

Has always been their job.

However.

They could only backtrack through application use, the requirement for cracking the source code was not so strict, after all, they have engineers too, knowing the functionality, they could quickly write it themselves.

However.

Nobody expected.

In the past.

Tang Qing had hidden the QR code payment inside.

“Are you sure?”

A newbie adjusted his glasses.

Is it really that marvelous?

“Then look at Alipay’s update package.” Without much explanation, someone flipped their mobile phone over.

At a glance.

Immediately convinced.

WeChat’s one hundred K.

Alipay’s two point one M.

In the 4G era.

If the internet speed is fast, the download time difference is very small, but a gap is a gap, about twenty times the difference, evidently, Alipay is a normal update, WeChat is just going through the motions.

“Impressive.”

“Indeed.”

“He sees far ahead.”

“What should we do?”

“Just learn and do it, half a month ago, Ali was recruiting QR code talent, I never quite understood it, but now it seems they also temporarily received notice from Tang Qing, and got it done in half a month.”

“We can do it too.”

“Yes.”

“Go for it.”

“…”

Cheering each other up.

On the road to catch up with Tang Qing, the further they go…the less confident they become. A person standing at the pinnacle viewing the world can only strive to get closer, if they dare to give up, the world will abandon them.

…

At this moment.

No one in the Huaxia Internet world is sleeping.

Baidu.

Sina.

Sohu.

NetEase.

Jingdong.

…

All began organizing forces, researching QR code payment, they can choose not to launch it, but the technology cannot be absent, when the time is right, perhaps they can shine, if there is no chance, just keep it in reserve for other uses.

In any case.

It’s okay if you don’t use it.

It must exist.

Similarly.

Relevant hardware equipment manufacturers couldn’t sit still either. At the press conference, Tang Qing demonstrated many scenarios, metro, bus, train station, airport, and unmanned vending machines in malls, etc.

Each.

After solving mobile payment, has new expansion directions.

This means they can make some effort in this area. In the future, these needs will surely be met by someone, and their task is to position themselves as providers of services to this market.

New era.

New opportunities.

A massive market has been opened by Tang Qing.

Tang Qing eats meat.

They are satisfied with having some soup.

…

On the other side.

Beijing.

Jingdong Headquarters.

As the helm.

Liu Dong has already been residing in the company for almost a month, compared to last year, despite Jingdong having received financing, it hasn’t made their days much better, on the contrary, the high costs still press them hard to breathe.

Storage.

Logistics.

Delivery.

Product.

…

Each is a problem.

The biggest problem is still money.

Previously Penguin even invested in Jingdong, wanting to compete with Ali, however, Ali had gone public swiftly, under the banner of Tang Qing, it’s market value has already reached hundreds of billions of RMB.

In contrast, Jingdong?

Now even a ten billion valuation is a stretch.

Worse still.

The last financing’s money is almost running out.

If no more capital comes in, Jingdong is not far from bankruptcy, either collapse due to inability to pay wages, or be killed by high bridge loan interest, either path could end up being Jingdong’s fate.

Alas!

How did things develop to this point?

So powerless.

The root cause.

Is Tang Qing.

If it weren’t for the appearance of Hummingbird, Jingdong’s core advantage would still be apparent, relying on logistics and services, they could at least establish a foothold in the e-commerce sector, leading a comfortable little life.

Unfortunately.

That could only be ideal.

Though Hummingbird logistics parks are not yet completed, Tang Qing throwing in hundreds of billions of RMB is no joke. When completed, Jingdong’s position will be extremely awkward.

Calculating it.

By the end of this year.

Storage facilities are not skyscrapers, the construction difficulty is not high.

Once the land is determined.

Leveling.

Piling.

Erecting columns.

Hoisting trusses.

Welding.

…

Just single-story buildings.

The speed can be as fast as flying, from the progress known from various places, many Hummingbird warehouses have already been topped off, though not much has been done inside, it’s just some shelves, teleportation devices issues.

Trucks.

Delivery personnel.

Are minor issues, Hummingbird has already signed contracts with major vehicle manufacturers, preparing to purchase over 15,000 trucks of different sizes, the deliveries will be completed by the end of the year, along with recruiting and training personnel.

At the latest early next year.

As early as the end of this year.

Hummingbird Logistic Warehouses will formally debut.

By then.

The situation Jingdong faces will be more severe. Liu Dong has considered cooperating with Tang Qing, but worries that they simply don’t see Jingdong in their league, the things Jingdong can do, Tang Qing can do themselves, probably better than the current Jingdong.

Regarding this point.

He agrees.

Moreover.

If investing in Jingdong, it’s equivalent to nurturing a competitor for Ali, as Tang Qing is Ali’s largest shareholder, clearly this wouldn’t be nice, if he were Tang Qing, he would have no reason to invest in Jingdong.

Conflicting thoughts.

Just then.

A ’Ding Dong’ sound.

His computer made the email notification sound, so late at night, who’s sending emails, Liu Dong clicked open, upon seeing all the content, he jumped up directly.

“ERV?” Liu Dong uttered these three letters in shock.

It said inside.

ERV is interested in investing in Jingdong.

Coming to discuss tomorrow, thrilling Liu Dong immensely, if it’s not a prank, it would be massively good news for struggling Jingdong, look at Penguin, their stocks are soaring like crazy.

This is the so-called lifeline straw.

But could there be a trap?

…

Shanghai Stock Market.

Villa.

Tang Qing swirled his wine glass.

Smiling.

Trap?

That’s not the case, just felt that Jingdong’s fate should not end. Jingdong learned the Amazon model, and ERV is now Amazon’s largest shareholder, but Amazon is not doing well in Huaxia.

Therefore.

Needs a brand with local genes to hold it up.

Evidently.

Jingdong is quite suitable.
