The launch of the mobile version of Wan Kon represented another field of online payments.
In 2008, being able to carry out mobile payments to this point was an important step forward for the entire Internet financial system.
There might be many disadvantages, or a lot of trouble, or all kinds of problems.
But as Ma Yun said, the flaws did not obscure the gems.
…
The flaws did not obscure the gems, and the effect was naturally better than everyone thought.
At 10 o 'clock in the evening on the 1st, the mobile version of Wan Kon had been downloaded more than 100,000 times!
It had to be said that this was a breakthrough number.
With only about 3 million mobile users in China, the download volume on the first day was as high as 100,000. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a legend.
If this trend continued, millions were not a dream, and even more were possible.
…
However, on the second day of Wan Kon's launch.
Early in the morning, Li Dong received a call from Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
The minister personally called, and even after Li Dong greeted him a few times, he said with a slight bitterness, "The balance account of Wan Kon has crossed the line."
"Crossed the line …"
Li Dong was not too surprised, but slightly disappointed, "Should it be banned?"
Minister Zhang exhaled and said after a long time, "There is no need to ban it, but the Central Bank and the Banking Regulatory Commission will send a research team to be stationed in Wan Kon. In addition, the local financial office will also prepare a research team to be stationed. In addition, the third-party balance account of Wan Kon must be handed over to the research team for temporary supervision. Because it is a new thing, there will be a discussion to see if there is a need to ban the balance account … "
Minister Zhang said for a while and finally sighed, "You should wait a little longer. After the online payment is standardized and the payment license is issued, there will be much less resistance than now."
Li Dong was silent for a moment and asked, "I don't know when the payment license will be issued. Do I have to wait forever? Minister, I just want to try. At least it has not been banned yet, which is a big step forward. It doesn't matter if the supervision is done. It doesn't matter if the investigation is done. There is nothing that cannot be said. It is also a good thing that the third-party balance account is handed over to the government for supervision. At least I can be less worried. Thank you for fighting for me, Minister. I have troubled you. "
Although Minister Zhang did not say it clearly, Li Dong knew that the other party must have fought for him.
Otherwise, it was not impossible to ban it.
Nowadays, online payment actually has a third-party guarantee account. The amount of money in this account, as well as the interest generated, has been bothering everyone.
Far away and Ali did not dare to touch the interest on this money.
However, the money in the third-party account of online payment was not permanent. It would be transferred away after a few days.
Now, the balance account launched by Wantoon was different. This third-party account did not have any restrictions. In other words, it was not a problem for you to save for a year.
But for banks, this was a big problem!
This was also a big problem for the government!
The money did not enter the bank, nor did it enter the market. Instead, it was directly transferred to a transfer account. Thinking deeper, it was a very serious problem!
Wouldn't this be suspected of replacing the bank deposit business?
Of course, without interest, Li Dong didn't dare to sell Yu 'e Bao at this time. If he really paid interest, he would really go against the bank. Now wasn't the right time.
Even online payments were not regulated. If you paid interest, it would be a matter of course for you to claim that you were raising funds illegally.
Although Li Dong wanted to stir things up a little, he was not prepared to put himself in danger.
Like now, at most, he would just ban it. It was not considered illegal for the time being. There would even be a two-way handling fee. It could be considered as generating income for the bank. The bank's opposition was not that serious.
But if he saved the handling fee and paid interest, then Li Dong would be waiting for all kinds of investigations.
Even if he did not cause trouble, Far away would most likely cause trouble for Wantoon.
After chatting with Department Head Zhang for a while, Li Dong hung up the phone.
Lightly exhaling, Li Dong turned around and left. Today was the opening ceremony of Far away Logistics Park. He could not be late.
…
Far away Logistics Park, opening ceremony.
Li Dong, Qin Hanyuan, Chang Yuanshan, Qin Hai …
A group of people raised the golden scissors. With a click, they cut the red silk in front of them.
Immediately after, the sound of firecrackers was heard, and the flashing lights below the stage kept flashing.
As the largest logistics park in Huadong, Far away and Wanhu Group took less than three years to complete the first phase and open for business. This speed was extremely shocking.
Moreover, the opening of the logistics park not only enhanced the strength of Far away Logistics, but also expanded the influence of Far Away in the logistics field.
More importantly, Far away Logistics Park's annual volume of goods was worth tens of billions.
A logistics park that could pull tens of billions of economic value could be imagined.
Especially at this time, it attracted the attention of countless people.
Qin Hanyuan's personal attendance at the opening ceremony clearly proved this point.
The reporters below the stage were already impatient. When Li Dong put down the scissors and the female employees in red robes stepped off the stage, a reporter hurriedly said, "Secretary Qin, Far away Logistics Park is known as the first logistics park in Huadong. Faraway Group claimed to invest tens of billions. Far away Logistics Park is officially put into operation. What kind of impact do you think it will have on the future economy of Jiangbei? Far away Logistics Park can reverse the current economic decline and let Pingchuan's economic growth reach the government's expectations? "
Qin Hanyuan was the boss of Jiangbei. Although everyone wanted to ask Li Dong directly, they could not ignore Qin Hanyuan at this time.
After the reporter finished asking, Qin Hanyuan smiled and said slowly, "The opening of Far away Logistics Park is a huge breakthrough in Jiangbei's logistics industry …"
Old Qin replied with a few sentences in official language. They were all good, methodical, steady, and watertight.
This was also normal. Even the reporters themselves knew that the answer was fixed.
Expecting Qin Hanyuan to reveal anything in front of the media was more or less a dream.
They did not expect this. Qin Hanyuan was done, so it was easy to ask questions. The reporters instantly looked at Li Dong.
And the questions had nothing to do with the logistics park.
A reporter said loudly, "General Manager Li, Far away's mobile version of Wan Tong went online yesterday. The payment system broke the traditional payment method and even broke the inherent method of online payment. Wan Tong's existing payment method has completely replaced the function of POS machines. It has even replaced the function of cash transfer at the bank counter! Furthermore, your balance account has even replaced the deposit function. Is this the internet finance that you mentioned at the internet conference previously? This is no longer just online payment. It has surpassed the concept of payment … "
The reporter said a lot. Li Dong's expression was calm. He waited for the reporter to finish before saying slowly, "Today is the opening of the logistics park. Let's not talk about this for now. As for the risk issues you are worried about, we will reply after the event. I'll just say it briefly. Don't worry about the risk issues. The Central Bank, China Banking Regulatory Commission, and the Finance Department have already taken over the balance accounts. If you don't trust Far away, you have to trust the government. Otherwise, you won't even trust the banks. That's all. Is there any question about the logistics park? "
Everyone saw that he did not want to say more, so they did not force him. Someone immediately said, "General Manager Li, the opening of Far away Logistics Park signifies that Far away Logistics is moving towards a higher realm. Then I would like to ask, is Jiangbei Logistics Park the only Far away Logistics Park? "
"Of course not. But the follow-up plans have not started yet. Our logistics park will not be the only one. Our main goal is to open up the logistics system in the country and centralize the logistics industry. The existing logistics industry is scattered, and very few of them are industrialized. Far away Logistics will become the new core of the logistics industry. With Far away Logistics as the core, we will focus on the surrounding logistics related industries and make them bigger and stronger. That is our goal. "
Alright. Li Dong bragged again.
Now, Li Dong was bragging. But it was not bragging. It was called future industry planning and layout.
The reporters just listened. As for whether it was true or not, there was no need to investigate.
After asking a few questions about Far away Logistics, someone asked about Far away Airlines.
Lan Xingguo was still inspecting and was not here. Li Dong did not say much and let Qin Hai handle the reporters.
As for Dong Xuebing and Qin Hanyuan, they strolled around the logistics park.
After walking for a while, Qin Hanyuan said softly, "The Provincial Government knows about Wankatong. We were still thinking about how to tell you. Seems like you already know about it."
"Mmm. Director Zhang called me in the morning. I had expected it."
"It's better not to be too rash. But the Provincial Government will do their best to support the changes made by Wankatong. The Finance Department will try their best to help Far away Airlines with the communication issues. You don't have to be conflicted. "
Being in the same city as Li Dong, Qin Hanyuan understood Li Dong's character.
He was afraid that there would be a conflict between the two parties because of the investigation team.
Once there was a conflict, things would be troublesome.
Li Dong nodded and smiled. "Secretary, you still don't trust me? I will haggle over small matters, but I am not muddle-headed when it comes to big matters. "
Qin Hanyuan could not help but laugh. Then, he changed the topic and talked about Far away Airlines.
"I still hope that Far away Airlines can settle in Jiangbei. Jiangbei is not worse than any other place. Mouteng, Minghu … these few cities are more suitable for civil airports. There is also an abandoned military airport at Minghu. With some modifications, it can meet the requirements of Far away Airlines … "
Li Dong smiled. "Secretary, I really can't make the decision on this matter.
I have handed over Far away Airlines to CEO Lan Xingguo.
You might not know much about him. He was the previous CEO of Sichuan Airlines, and he is also a leading figure in the aviation industry.
I don't know much about this. If he has his eyes on Jiangbei, then I will definitely settle in Jiangbei. After all, Jiangbei is my hometown. If I build an airport in my hometown, I will also be proud.
But if the conditions are not suitable, then you will be giving me a hard time.
How about this? I will ask CEO Lan to talk to the Provincial Government. What do you think? "
Qin Hanyuan did not force him and nodded. "That's fine. This matter still depends on the company. Far away Airlines might be regretful, but they will also be gratified. If the conditions are suitable, I will consider Jiangbei. This is my goal. "
"Definitely."
"… …"
Both of them chatted for a while, and Qin Hanyuan visited a few large logistics companies that had settled in the Logistics Park before leaving in the afternoon.
As for Li Dong, he didn't stay for long. He left these matters behind and quickly left.
… …
That night, the Far away Logistics Park was officially opened, and it was reported on the provincial TV news.
The local party newspaper also helped to promote it. Some tabloids even used the title "100 Billion Logistics" to attract attention.
After "100 Billion Far away City", "100 Billion Supermarket", "100 Billion Internet", Far Away Airport had another title, "100 Billion Logistics".
Li Dong, in one year, had set up 4 100 Billion projects, shocking the people!
Someone gave Li Dong another nickname — 100 Billion Maniac!
100 Billion? Is your family's 100 Billion Maniac so worthless?
Creating 4 100 Billion projects in one year? Aren't you afraid of killing yourself?
Also, many people are calling for the Hu Runbo and Forbes list to be released. Li Dong's Far Away is not a listed company, and no one knows how much money he has.
The last report said that his net worth is 72 billion, and now he is talking about 100 Billion. How is it 72 billion? Even 720 billion is not enough for him!
… …
Provincial Party Committee Compound.
Li Dong's face is full of helplessness. He sighed. "When did I say 100 Billion Logistics? Other than Far Away City, when did I say I will set up 4 100 Billion projects in one year? Damn it, can you stop giving me nicknames? Why do you always give me these lame nicknames? "
Li Dong counted with his fingers. "Since a few years ago, my nicknames have never stopped. Li Dapao, Taotie Li, Mad Cow, Attacking Giant, 100 Billion Maniac … … What the hell?! I'm young, promising, and handsome. Can't some of them be more reliable? If this goes on, I'll really have to sue them! "
Li Dong was full of resentment. His nicknames had never been pleasant to hear.
Look at them. Brother Ma, Father Ma, the nation's prince charming, and even the amazing Ma Yun were called an alien a few times. Even the Great Hoodwinker was not addressed as such.
But what about him?
I'm the nation's prince charming. It's a good thing that you don't call me Father. Why do you keep giving me these ridiculous nicknames?
Li Dong was full of resentment. However, Qin Yuhan, who had just rushed back from Minghu, narrowed her crescent eyes and said with a smile, "Don't forget, you still have a nickname."
Li Dong's face darkened. He said in a speechless manner, "If you dare say it, I'll fight you to the death right now!"
Qin Yuhan covered her mouth and laughed. After a while, she said breathlessly, "Alright, I won't say it. It's just a nickname. What's there to mind?"
"You make it sound so nice. Tell me, would you be happy if others called you the 'Giggling Maniac?'"
"Screw you, who's the 'Giggling Maniac?'"
Qin Yuhan chided. She picked up a piece of pork rib for him and said with a smile, "Eat more. Turn your grief and anger into appetite. You won't be angry anymore when you're full."
"You should eat more too. You've been running around everywhere recently, and you're already hungry. What's the point of running around that dessert shop of yours? You can just open two more shops."
Li Dong muttered. Qin Yuhan smiled and did not reply.
Sometimes, it was better to be busy than idle.
At the very least, during this period of running around, he did not have to think too much about certain things. Otherwise, if he were to think about these things every day, he would probably be even more bored than he was now.
