For example, Mr. Ma from Shenzhen, Mr. Lei from Xiaomi, Mr. Liu from JD.com, Mr. Ding from NetEase, Mr. Shen from Hongsen Capital, and Mr. Zhu from Jinshajiang Venture Capital.
Jiang Qin had interacted with them at the Internet Conference, and it was not a stranger to see them again.
At that time, Mr. Ma from Shenzhen was sitting in the middle, with Mr. Liu from Jingdong on the right, and the empty seat on the left was reserved for Jiang Qin.
In the business world, status levels are relatively clear, just like the workplace.
At present, in addition to the three top ceiling companies of BAT, among the Internet companies in the second row, the ones with the highest valuations are Pintuan, JD.com and Xiaomi.
If you break it down further, group shopping is larger than Jingdong, and Jingdong is larger than Xiaomi, so this location is just right.
“Mr. Jiang, how was your New Year?”
“It’s not bad. I just looked at the company’s annual report and found that I didn’t make any money. I felt uncomfortable for a while. 2012 was really an ordinary year.”
“hehe.”
The entrepreneurs present turned sideways or chuckled, you looked at me, I looked at you.
In 2012, the group booking supply chain developed vigorously, taking control of the food delivery industry, and the group booking and in-store business also successfully entered the tourism and film industries.
The most important thing is that their Cloud QuickPass has evenly divided the market with Alipay, which is fucking mediocre.
You know, the group has only been in development for four years, and if it can achieve this level of layout, the word mediocre should not appear in his dictionary.
Especially looking at his young face, everyone was thinking about him.
This person, even if he sticks to the group fight and does nothing in the next few years, he can still kill many people.
Afterwards, when the food was served, everyone exchanged glasses and exchanged cups with each other about their respective development directions and predictions of the current situation. Most of all, they were testing the idea of joining a group.
The payment war was so fierce two years ago that many people want to know whether the group buying in 2013 will enter the e-commerce industry.
This rumor has been around for a long time, but Jiang Qin has always denied it.
But at that time, Cloud Quick Pass had not yet been implemented for group shopping. It was not easy to be an e-commerce company. After all, before Cloud Quick Pass, Alipay accounted for 80% of the online payment market. Under such circumstances, it was difficult to do e-commerce. Businessmen can easily be sanctioned.
But now the situation is different. Cloud Quick Pass has already started to be implemented. It is almost a matter of course to join the e-commerce industry in a group.
Domestic Internet commerce affects almost everything. If the group really wants to enter e-commerce in 2013, many companies need to prepare early.
“Pin Tuan had no e-commerce plan in 2013. I want to run a business for stability. Ling Tuan has moved too fast in the past four years and has expanded its industrial chain, but in fact there are still some problems. I hope it can slow down and take advantage of It’s time to stabilize the current industry and adjust the structure.”
Many people were disappointed when they heard Jiang Qin’s answer.
To be honest, Alibaba’s dominance in the e-commerce field gives many people a headache. If Jiang Qin is willing to disrupt the situation, Alibaba will definitely be in a hurry.
But looking at Jiang Qin’s demeanor, it didn’t look like he was lying.
Of course, sometimes you can’t believe everything Mr. Jiang says. Everyone at the banquet has their own sense of propriety.
But what’s surprising is that after the Chinese New Year, Pintuan really didn’t have any intention of entering the e-commerce industry. Instead, it slowed down and started optimizing many of its apps. The most frequent updates are in January. As many as four times.
But this does not reduce Ali’s sense of vigilance, because you can’t take chances in the business world.
So after the Lantern Festival, Alipay began to increase its promotion efforts, and the first batch of bus code scanning systems were officially put into trial operation in Shanghai.
They lost a lot of market share a year ago, and even Taobao was affected. On the contrary, Jingdong, which cooperates with UnionPay Quick Pass, has seen a rising number of transactions.
Instead of chasing Jiang Qin’s rhythm, we should bypass the areas controlled by group-building and add more usage scenarios for Alipay. This trick really works!
Since March, the use of Alipay has gradually begun to pick up.
Just when everyone was speculating on how to deal with the group fight, suddenly, WeChat’s update brought a greater shock to the entire business circle.
With this update, WeChat Pay is officially launched.
WeChat has a huge user base. After WeChat Pay went online, it quickly aroused Ali’s vigilance. The consumption subsidy activities that Alipay failed to implement a year ago finally launched with great fanfare this time.
The start of 2013 is already full of excitement.
On the other hand, HTC started selling its first 4G mobile phone, which also marked the official entry of the mobile Internet into the 4G era. Many people felt that this year would be an important turning point for the entire business circle.
But at a time when the smell of gunpowder is so intense, group fighting has uncharacteristically entered a low-key period.
This low-key period does not mean that Lingtuan is not doing anything. On the contrary, Lingtuan’s industries are still doing better and better, but there are far fewer big moves.
