Hearing this, Wu Bo raised the corners of his mouth, and the gloom in his eyes lightened slightly.
To be honest, Lashou.com has been in a mess over the past six months, and it is really difficult for him to open his mouth to ask for money.
When the group buying market was just established, he firmly occupied the top spot and was not too tough when negotiating with Alibaba. Even though he was eventually changed and merged into Alibaba, every word he said during the negotiations was resounding.
But less than half a year later, the situation turned out to be like this, and the guy who beat him to a bloody head was a college student group buying website that he had never liked.
Thinking of this, Wu Bo sighed subconsciously, and this action was accurately captured by Lu Zhichuan.
“Mr. Wu, don’t worry too much. There is no permanent winner in business, and you don’t have to worry too much about short-term losses.”
Wu Bo was stunned for a moment: “What does Mr. Lu mean?”
Lu Zhichuan waved to his secretary and whispered something in her ear. He saw the wasp-waisted female secretary walking out of the conference room with long black stockings and brought back a stack of promotional brochures about Alipay.
Wu Bo took it and looked through it for a long time, his eyes gradually widening.
“Alipay has obtained a payment license last month and is currently in internal testing. It is expected to be launched soon. The future group buying market will definitely be dominated by mobile payments.”
Lu Zhichuan raised his lips: “The state has very strict control over payment licenses. This is not only a technical barrier, but also a policy barrier. Do you think there is still a way to survive in group games? Do you have to rely on U-shield to continue doing business?”
Wu Bo frowned instantly, with a strange light in his eyes.
The mobile Internet has developed very rapidly in the past year, and their company is also working hard to develop apps. If Alipay can connect with LaShou, then there is really nothing to fear about group joining.
By that time, all the advantages accumulated by group joining will be lost due to changes in carriers. By then, the huge family fortune accumulated by group joining may directly become someone else’s wedding dress!
“Mr. Lu, when will Alipay be launched?”
“They are not in the same business group as our investment department. I don’t know their business progress yet. Let’s do this. I will invite Mr. Pang over at noon and we will chat while eating.”
“Okay, okay…”
“But Mr. Wu, don’t take it lightly. As far as I know, Tencent and Baidu have also obtained payment licenses, so your biggest opponents are Dianping and Nuomi. You must be cautious in every next step.”
After the meeting, Wu Bo and his team still felt like they were in a dream. They still couldn’t calm down until they walked out of the investment department.
To be honest, from the Battle of Shanghai, to the Battle of Shencheng, and finally the Battle of Kyoto, people on LaShou.com will feel desperate whenever they hear the name of the group.
But they didn’t expect that when they came to Hangzhou, they would encounter a huge wealth!
The mobile Internet market is close at hand, and with the protection of third-party payment platforms, even if LaShou loses the Kyoto market, it will be able to catch up in the future.
The most important thing is that there is no Internet giant behind the group buying, and his company does not have the qualifications to obtain a payment license. In other words, as soon as Alipay comes online, the group buying will almost collapse!
Damn it, isn’t this a shame?
