How did payment affect shopping?
In the beginning, payment was just a payment tool. There was nothing unique about it.
But later, as e-commerce became bigger and bigger, major e-commerce companies began to make their own payment platforms.
For example, Ebay's PayPal and Amazon's PayPal.
In essence, these payment platforms were the same as payment.
However …
It was different from China.
Because credit cards were used too frequently in Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea, PayPal and PayPal did not develop well.
People still preferred to pay with payment cards.
Especially in offline life, PayPal and PayPal had no room to play.
However, the popularity of Didi Taxi had pushed Alipay out of the market all of a sudden.
Because if you wanted to take a taxi, you had to use payment.
Of course, you could choose not to use it.
But the previous activities of Didi Taxi would also tempt you to use it.
Although Didi Taxi basically did not need money at the moment and even paid for it.
However, Didi Hailing Taxi had a setting: The subsidies and subsidies that you wanted had to be paid by the system after you had paid a sum of money.
Perhaps you would think that it looked the same. Wasn't it free?
No, no, no.
It was completely different.
Although it turned out to be free, the consumer still used Pay Connect to make the payment.
And as you slowly got used to it, especially after taking a taxi, you would be subsidized. Then, what would you do with the remaining money from payment?
Then, it was simple. Go shopping.
And where to go shopping?
Sorry, payment only supported Pinduoduo.
Of course, it would be best if Amazon could also support payment.
But it was impossible for Amazon to support payment.
This was one of the models.
In addition …
Even if there was no balance in payment, which platform would users choose?
Perhaps they would still choose Amazon.
However, there were also many people who would choose Pinduoduo.
As for why?
It was also very simple.
When Didi Taxi developed a habit of constantly paying, they would subconsciously bring this habit to online payment platforms.
This was just like WeChat payment in his previous life.
WeChat was not originally a payment tool.
But how did WeChat payment take away a large part of the Alipay market?
It was not by technology.
It was by habit.
When you kept using WeChat, naturally, when you paid, your first thought was to click on WeChat.
Even if you have money in your Alipay account, I'm sorry. Although Alipay is not bad, it's only opened a few times a month.
"Oh my god, they actually did it. They actually did it."
Seeing that the taxi fee could be paid offline, Bezos was so excited that he couldn't contain his excitement.
One had to know.
How could the e-commerce maniac Jeff Bezos not want to create his own payment platform?
For example, their P cards.
However, no matter how good the P card was, it could only be used on the Amazon platform.
Once it reached the offline platform, I'm sorry, but not many platforms would accept it.
In the past, Bezos had also spent some money to move the PSP card to the offline platform, but unfortunately, he had never succeeded.
At the same time, he thought about how almost everyone used credit cards offline, and Visa cards didn't seem to be of much use …
Naturally, even Bezos himself gave up.
This was a fixed way of thinking.
It's the same as if you think a phone should be like this and it can't be a smartphone.
When such fixed thinking exists, no matter how smart you are, you can't challenge it.
Similarly, if you think that people in the real world like to use credit cards, people will definitely not use electronic payment.
But if such thinking is fixed, then you will not challenge the credit card position either.
But unexpectedly …
The payment platform that Jeff Bezos and even the entire North American company gave up on was achieved by Huanyu Technologies at this time.
Almost subconsciously, he thought of Uber.
Huanyu Technologies could support Didi. Could he also support Uber?
However, when he thought of Uber, Jeff Bezos was stunned. He looked at his wife and asked, "Did you just say that Uber is going to close down?"
"Well, yes, there's basically no Uber driver outside now."
Jeff Bezos didn't feel anything about this.
In that case, wouldn't it be fine to create a taxi platform himself?
But …
When he thought that Didi Taxi had already raised 10 billion US dollars, Jeff Bezos sighed.
"Dear, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep for a while."
If Jeff Bezos followed up before, perhaps Amazon could compete with Huanyu Technologies.
But …
At this time, Didi Taxi already had so many users. Even if you entered again, it would be useless.
Even if there was …
Could you compete with Didi Capital?
10 billion US dollars was definitely not the end.
If they followed up, Didi Capital might raise another 10 billion US dollars.
Huanyu Technologies would definitely not give Amazon any chance.
…
However, Chen Yu didn't know if Amazon would follow up.
Chen Yu had always been cautious in doing things.
Although he felt that the probability of Amazon following up was not high.
But …
No one could be a hundred percent sure about this.
Furthermore, as electronic payments continued to penetrate step by step, electronic payments would completely affect people's payment methods in the future.
By then …
Just like in China, people would no longer bring their wallets when they went out in the future.
If Amazon realized that payment was the deciding factor, they would make different choices.
Therefore …
Since he had decided to engage in payment, Chen Yu would not only launch Didi Taxi platform.
Besides Didi Taxi, Chen Yu also prepared two killer applications.
One was bike-sharing and the other was takeout.
It could be said that …
These two super applications would play a pivotal role in popularizing payment.
Furthermore, his payment usage was much more frequent than Didi Taxi.
However …
Before deciding to launch these two applications, Chen Yu prepared to launch their Super Pear 2.
Yes.
After a year, it was time for a complete update of Super Pear.
Although Super Pear had launched an upgraded version half a year ago.
The upgraded version did not bring much change to the overall performance.
Super Pear 2 was a cross-generational product.
"Senior, get ready for our Pear 2."
"Junior Brother, can we make a deal this time?"
"Negotiate?"
Seeing that Wu Kai came over to curry favor, Chen Yu smiled and said, "Haha, it's time for the press conference again, right?"
"Junior, you really know it too well. You didn't have enough last time for 10 minutes."
"Oh, how long will it take this time? 11 minutes?"
"Pfft …"
Wu Kai choked on Chen Yu's words. "Junior, you can't be in the limelight all the time. You should let me be in the limelight."
"Didn't we agree that I would be in charge of Super Pear in the future?"
"I didn't expect our cell phone to be so awesome. If I had known, I wouldn't have agreed. Junior … "
"Okay, okay, 20 minutes this time."
Seeing Wu Kai's coquettish voice, Chen Yu felt a chill and had to agree.
"Hahaha, Junior is awesome. I'm going to prepare."
Wu Kai left excitedly after achieving his goal.
On the other side.
The news about the upcoming launch of Huanyu Technologies' Super Pear 2 also attracted the attention of everyone in the world.
There was no surprise.
Super Pear had always been the hottest topic in the world.
Even if there was a little bit of news about Super Pear 2, it would always make the headlines.
At this time, it was finally going to be launched.
