Beijing.
Haidian District.
Jinghua Square. It’s the weekend, and this place has started bustling early. Custors walking in notice sothing different; QR code signs are set up at every store’s cashier.
After shopping.
Everyone is amazed.
"Tang Qing moves fast."
"So quick."
"The efficiency is really astounding. It’s not even a full morning, and the entire Jinghua Square can use mobile paynt. I feel like I can’t keep up with the pace of world changes."
"Sa here."
"Of course, just look at who Tang Qing is."
"Jinghua Real Estate is currently Huaxia’s largest real estate group. Tang Qing owns a fifth of the stocks. He must support it first. Next month, I heard this company will go public."
"Really?"
"Absolutely true."
"Finally, a company with Tang Qing’s involvent can be bought on A-shares."
"I’m looking forward to it."
"Qingyuan Technology is good too, buying in Myanmar works just the sa."
"After all, it’s not dostic."
"Exactly."
"I wonder about Jinghua Real Estate’s prospects."
"Definitely a big increase. Jinghua Real Estate not only has Tang Qing as a shareholder but is also rich in assets. Doing business with wealthy people will never result in loss, and Tang Qing’s net worth will rise again."
"True."
"How much can it increase?"
"Several hundred billion maybe."
"That little?"
"... it’s not a small amount."
Tang Qing’s trillion net worth makes the originally sensational news seem ordinary. A few hundred billion, which used to be the scale of Huaxia’s inland top fortunes, now, has evidently lost its shock value.
Without a thousand eight hundred billion.
In their eyes, it all feels similar.
Ten thousand households.
Million.
Ten million.
Billionaire.
These were once numbers countless people envied. Never imagined, ten billion and hundred billion level tycoons appeared inland not many years ago, and Tang Qing suddenly flipped the script on the word ’billionaire.’
’Trillionaire.’
Just to know.
In the year 2000, when Hurun’s Rich list was first created, among inland tycoons, those with net worth over one hundred billion were from a single family, and that’s all, others hadn’t reached the hundred billion level.
In the subsequent years.
From 2001 to 2003, not a single one broke the hundred billion mark.
In 2004.
Again, only one broke the hundred billion level.
In 2005, still the sa.
Then.
In 2006.
Tang Qing appeared on the list, instantly topping it with over 430 billion RMB net worth, becoming the inland tycoon number one. The next year, surged again quickly to 3,900 billion.
Now.
Oh, my.
Nine months have passed, two trillion, it’s terrifying! Even if you minus a zero, it’s an astronomical number. Several hundred billion, Tang Qing probably wouldn’t even get his heart rate up.
"Pretty convenient."
"Hmm."
"Not afraid to receive fake bills, and no worry about losing money."
"..."
After using.
rchants’ feedback was generally good.
This day.
Nationwide across all provinces.
The delivery of freebies started simultaneously. Now, Sheng Tang Apparel’s stores have opened in every county-level city and above administrative regions across Huaxia, and most counties. Provincial logistics are very fast.
Also.
The managent system that was initially given for free has worked well.
Supermarket.
Hotel.
Cinema.
KTV.
Big restaurant.
Travel agency.
...
Tens of major industry categories couldn’t resist the allure of free, using Xiao Xiao’s business managent system. Yesterday afternoon, a push ssage was sent, and tens of thousands of related rchants nationwide received it.
The difference is.
Common rchants only register for scanning.
These bigger rchants also need to provide scanning equipnt.
Of course.
That’s charged for.
Just not expensive.
Only a few hundred bucks. For small stores, they’re reluctant, but for these bigger rchants, it’s acceptable. Fortunately, most are still hesitating, or else the installers might not be enough.
...
"Dad, the shop next door has a QR code posted."
"What code?"
"QR code."
"What’s it for?"
"It’s for paying money. Others can pay with their mobile phone. Should we have one too?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Who knows if the money in a mobile phone is safe? There are lots of swindlers now."
"..."
"Tang Qing definitely isn’t a swindler."
"That guy is alright, but it’s still better to be cautious. Cash in hand is solid." saying this, his father stubbornly walked to the kitchen. Money in hand is real money.
Doesn’t like the virtual.
"Okay then."
...
"Sis."
"What is it? I’m not buying anything."
"No, I just wanted to ask, do you have a smartphone?"
"No."
"..."
Stepping out of this supermarket.
The young man sighed.
The offline promotion of QR codes now faces not just the issue of paynt by QR codes, but whether people have smartphones. More than half of the rchants still don’t have smartphones.
You can’t simply change your face and first sell phones, right?
However.
Before leaving.
He still left a flyer.
"..."
"Bro, our QR code..."
"No need."
"It’s free."
"No need."
"Withdrawals don’t incur service charges."
"No need."
"You... why?"
"I think cash is quite good, if worst cos to worst, there’s always card swiping, it’s secure. As for convenience, my place doesn’t have custors queuing every day to pay, so I don’t need this high-end technology for now."
"..."
No way.
Couldn’t explain.
The on-ground promotion staff had to leave, plan to talk next ti. Though the number of users is increasing, those who don’t use it are even more. An overwhelming majority of rchants haven’t even heard about mobile paynts.
