"You bastard, I asked you to install WeChat for me, but you didn't hear me?"
At the same time, in the northern part of Shandong Province, the breadwinner of a farmer's home slapped his high school son on the back of his head and said, "Is this WeChat? Are you bullying me because I can't read?"
I know the WeChat logo, it's two little white heads leaning against each other, what is this thing, Qiuqiu, I've never heard of it."
The high school son waved his phone in the air, looking unconvinced, "You country bumpkin, I don't even want to talk to you, WeChat is for country bumpkins, Qiuqiu is the trend.
All the students in my class use Qiuqiu, even the principal and teachers use it.”
If he had said this normally, his old father would have definitely given in, because education is the most important thing in the world, and principals and teachers are the most respected, so the people they use will definitely not be bad.
"Hehe, I don't know if Dad is stupid. He actually spent 800 yuan to buy a smart phone. It would be great if I could bring it to school!"
My high school son smiled happily and couldn't help imagining the joy of receiving envious looks at him after school. The countryside is not as good as the city, and the economy in the north is not as active as that in the south. Here, he can barely buy a Roewe mobile phone by working for a month.
Moreover, most people will not buy smartphones, especially in rural areas where practicality is the main concern. Smartphones have an additional data package compared to feature phones, which costs at least 18 yuan more per month, which is not cost-effective.
Unfortunately, his handsomeness didn't last for more than three seconds, as he was greeted with another slap in the face. "I let you be trendy and fashionable, but it's not easy for your father like me. I saved money to buy you a phone, not for you to play with."
The child's mother was also explaining, "Taozi, be obedient. Your father bought this phone to make money to support the family. When the family has more money, he will buy you another one."
"Nonsense, he's still in school, what does he need a cell phone for?"
The pillar of the family glared at him and said, "Hurry up and install WeChat. Click this to join some group. It's full of recruitment information from nearby counties and towns. Picking and loading will pay 60 yuan a day, and meals are included."
"Are there really that many?"
The mother of the child was surprised. "Oh my goodness, 60 a day, that's almost a month!"
Even though many people in the past had little education and many could not write their own names, when it came to their own interests, they were smarter than anyone else.
This is the case with the family that bought the Roewe mobile phone. In the past, they were reluctant to install even a telephone line, mainly because they had no urgent need and could just call the store at the entrance of the village if they had any problems.
But that is no longer possible. With Pinduoduo being the first to go to the countryside, Qingyun Agriculture followed closely behind. Although their scale is still small, there are only a dozen people in economically better towns, and there are only agency points in remote towns.
However, Qingyun Company has plenty of sales channel resources. It only needs to invest a small amount of start-up capital to revitalize the local economy and allow the circulation of materials to grow like a snowball.
As more and more people got involved, information exchange became a big problem. Calling everyone one by one to notify them was too cumbersome and inefficient.
Relying on Pinxixi and Qingyun Agriculture's rural sales and purchasing team for publicity, the coverage population is not large, and they wait in the town for farmers to bring products to their door-to-door sales. This is too chaotic and cannot form economies of scale.
Fortunately, with the development of smart phones and the improvement of 3G network coverage, the installation volume of WeChat technology is also steadily increasing. No matter where you are, there are people using smart phones to use WeChat voice chat.
Not only does it save phone bills, you can also send text messages for free, and make video calls in places with good signals. If you have something to do, you can create a group and communicate extremely conveniently.
"Two thousand is considered low. I heard that if you join Qingyun as a formal employee, you can get a guaranteed monthly salary of three to four thousand, plus five insurances and one housing fund. Your whole life will be guaranteed. That's the treatment only big masters can get."
The pillar of the family paused for a moment and looked at his son, "You are lucky to have such a good time. When I was young, I couldn't even afford to eat. You should study hard, go to college and try to get a job in the future.
Even if your ancestors' graves are filled with smoke, if it really doesn't work out, learn a skill and go to work for Qingyun Company."
In the eyes of people in Shandong Province, if you cannot be enrolled as an adult, you will always be a scumbag. Fortunately, there is now an additional choice. Joining Qingyun will provide you with five insurances and one fund, high salary and good benefits, which is the second dream of millions of people.
Young people are really smart. My high school son, who had never used a smartphone, followed the smartphone's startup instructions and successfully downloaded the WeChat app.
Then follow the full instructions for the novice's first registration, successfully complete the identity verification, and wait for joining the group, a large number of chat messages will pop up.
Before I could take a closer look, a chat box popped up, "Zeng Fugui from xx town, right?"
Of course, WeChat technology is not that advanced. My son, who is a high school student, followed the instructions on the note and gave him an online name that was his native place plus his name.
The other party is a staff member of the Shandong branch of Hummingbird Crowdsourcing Company. In fact, it is a labor agency that usually provides short-term labor to the Qingyun system or cooperative partners.
However, due to the rapid development of the smartphone business recently, there are not enough novice guides, so they were temporarily pulled in to receive simple training.
Commissions are paid based on chat records or voice call recordings. By leveraging the installed base of WeChat, installations of other related software are expanded, and money is paid based on the amount of activity.
Under his guidance, Zeng Fugui's son gradually figured out how to use smartphones, how to quickly download other software, the functions of each software, how to make money quickly, etc.
"By the way, what card do you use, China Mobile, China Unicom or China Telecom?"
Finally, the Fengniao crowdsourcing staff did not forget to ask, "Has our company sent someone to install the wifi? If it is China Unicom Netcom service, we have other recommendations and discounts."
"What carrier does my number belong to? 13x..."
Zeng Fugui didn't understand any of this. He even had to record his own phone number separately in an address book. The phone card was also recommended to him by the Pinxixi staff when he bought the phone.
"I checked, it turned out to be China Unicom again. I never saw these guys working so hard. Damn."
The Fengniao crowdsourcing staff frowned and said in the WeChat voice, "You may need to change it. We recommend that you use China Mobile's Tietong network."
He said a lot of things, all of which were nothing more than saying that China Tietong’s network had wide coverage and good signals.
Zeng Fugui was annoyed when he heard that he had to change the card and cancel it, "Ah? Why didn't your company tell me when I bought the phone two days ago?"
His mobile phone and phone card were provided by the Pinxixi store. He waited in line for half a month before he got them. The group gave them priority in order to expand its influence in the north.
As for the south and economically developed regions, Roewe's delivery volume is still a mysterious issue. No matter how many pre-orders are placed, whether it can be delivered and how much can be delivered depends on fate.
In the actual sales process, the group has long since developed a complete information collection and processing system. For example, in economically developed areas, although Roewe is easy to sell, people are generally relatively wealthy.
In order to use smartphones and WeChat micropayments more quickly, many people gritted their teeth and directly bought Honor phones at a discount of 2500 yuan without waiting for Roewe.
But in the north and most parts of the west, the situation is not the same. The gap between 798 and 2500 is too big, and consumers would rather wait than pay a high price for Honor.
Regardless of the means, the results are there. Honor's sales soared in October and November. In rural areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai alone, shipments increased by more than 10,000 units compared with the same period last year.
What? You said you can’t wait for Roewe, so you can buy products from China Cool Alliance or copycat companies and download and use WeChat?
I'm sorry, although Qingyun has never publicly stipulated that employees cannot join the company if they don't buy Qingyun electronic products, in fact, everyone knows the unspoken rules.
For example, there are clear regulations in the code of conduct regarding internal employee appearance and maintaining the company's image, which requires Qingyun Electronics employees to declare in advance if they use electronic products from third-party companies.
As for the fact that your application will definitely be approved, but you want to continue to be promoted and keep this high-paying job?
Goodbye, deliverymen carrying apples will never get high-quality orders, either because the location is too remote or the unit price is pitifully low. Over time, everyone understands.
If you want to make a living in the Qingyun system, if you have money you can use Panda, if you don’t have money you can use Roewe, the middle-level unified one is Honor, as for office computers, any series other than Shenzhou will not pass the procurement stage.
If it really doesn't work, you can also purchase assembled machines in bulk through Pinxixi and JD's own stores. Anyway, Li Zehua has done his best to keep the benefits within the family.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the company has all such unspoken rules and does not allow leaving text or voice messages to prevent competitors from finding evidence and suing them.
As for China Unicom, it was Li Zehua who asked Gu Shijie to issue a "ban" order throughout the entire company yesterday after unsuccessful communication.
From now on, all business cooperation with the company will be suspended. For those that have already been processed, find a way to transfer them and just treat the balance as a waste of money. In short, the other party's demands are too outrageous, which made Li Zehua laugh.
In his original words, from today on, this company will not be able to get a new customer from Qingyun.
This is enough to show how much damage Dingguo Insurance's attack has caused to the forces behind it. They are trying to cut another piece of meat from Qingyun to fill the hole.
However, Qingyun had already grown stronger. After lobbying the top management of China Unicom to no avail, he simply decided to deal with the matter coldly and cut off all ties at the source.
As a result, the news was passed to the grassroots, and all cooperation with the company was terminated. The already developed customers were tossed again, but it was a seller's market. Qingyun held a huge amount of resources, and not cooperating meant saying goodbye to the existing acquisition and sales system...
"Hehe, I'm so smart that I can trick the phone out with a little trick. No one would log in to register WeChat. Isn't it good?"
High school students have an unparalleled desire for electronic products. When his father goes out to work, he leaves his phone behind under the pretext that he needs to study and look up information, and that data charges are expensive.
"Zeng Haitao, this is the Qiuqiu icon on your phone. Did your father buy you a smartphone?"
As soon as I came online, classmates sent me messages, their words revealing envy.
Zeng Haitao laughed happily, "Of course not. From now on, I don't have to go to the Internet cafe to log in to Qiuqiu, and I can chat online."
“I’m so envious, unlike my dad, who also bought a mobile phone, but it only allows WeChat chatting, is that thing even worthy of it?
I don’t believe that you can make money with WeChat. It’s a pity that I don’t have money, otherwise I would buy a smart phone. Wang Fang said that there are many small games in it, and I won’t get tired of playing them all day long..."
The classmates were chattering, and Zeng Haitao was very envious, because he had seen Wang Fang's mobile phone, it was an Apple, which cost several thousand yuan, and he heard that it was difficult to buy in China.
“But I also have a cell phone, so I have to find a way to bring it to school.
Unfortunately, it seems that this is not going to work. My dad said that I have to check the content of tomorrow's work on WeChat every day and then gather at the designated location. If I take it, it will delay the family from making money."
The young boy was very distressed. He really wanted to take his mobile phone with him to show off, but his family had no money. Even if he relied on WeChat to do temporary work, it was impossible to buy him an extra phone while he was in high school.
This situation is happening all over the country. Often the main labor force in the family buys a smartphone that has never been used, links it to WeChat, and then posts purchase and recruitment information in the group.
If the preparatory work for Ant Financial Services Group had not been completed, WeChat's built-in micropayment software would have replaced part of the bank's job responsibilities and paid salaries and purchases directly through internal transfers.
But that day will not be too far away, because Qingyun is waiting for the right opportunity to launch the first battle in Internet financial payment!
……
"Mr. Li, please don't say such angry words. Canceling the cooperation with China Unicom will not benefit anyone. We don't ask for much, just a loan amount of several billion."
As soon as Wu Xiaohui arrived in Yanjing, he visited Li Zehua again accompanied by his second brother Wu Xiaoqi.
"With your current status, it would be a piece of cake for you to just say hello to a certain bank, just like you did to Liu Yonghao of the Hope Group. Wouldn't it be good for everyone to get rich together in harmony?"
Although the latter has already informed the people below and cleared out the cooperative projects with their company, there is no need to completely tear each other apart openly.
Wu Xiaoqi still has that arrogant look as if he is sure of success. At his age, he can become the president of China Unicom Holdings Investment Group, and the resources he can mobilize are too huge.
Not to mention the distant future, operators have a strong say in the approval of network access passes for Qingyun Electronics' products. He doesn't believe that Qingyun would dare to refuse to cooperate.
Li Zehua laughed and said, "Boss Wu, you are joking. How could I refuse to cooperate with China Unicom? As a businessman, I understand that harmony brings wealth.
However, since Mr. Wu knew about Liu Yonghao of the Hope Group, he naturally understood that the Hope Group was using its core resources as collateral and that everyone was exchanging them at equal value.
And Mr. Wu, it seems that you have gone a bit too far. In addition to the financial gap in the Minsheng Department, I transferred a total of 7 million US dollars through Zhongxin.
Now you come again, asking for a loan of several billion, and also asking me to provide unlimited guarantee responsibility. I'm afraid that's a bit unreasonable."
"Mr. Li misunderstood. My brother didn't understand the situation yesterday..."
Wu Xiaohui wanted to tear Li Zehua apart with his hands because the other party had dug a big hole for Dingguo in cotton futures, causing them to lose billions at a time.
It can be said that without him, with the strength of Dingguo's behind-the-scenes shareholders, there would be no risk of a broken capital chain at all. However, the situation is stronger than people, and the connections behind the other party are no worse than theirs.
Since forcing them to do something failed, Wu Xiaohui took another approach and asked his brother for help. He planned to create conditions for cooperation and bring Qingyun into the market so that they could get more money to tide over the difficulties.
"As soon as I heard about the misunderstanding, I rushed here from Shanghai. After my unremitting efforts, China Unicom was willing to offer more favorable terms to facilitate continued cooperation between the two parties."
"what?"
Li Zehua sneered in his heart, pretending to be shocked on the surface, "Boss Wu, why didn't you tell me earlier? After the discussion yesterday, I thought the cooperation was hopeless, so I arranged the remaining work.
China Telecom Tianyi just responded today that it has reached a comprehensive cooperation with the company in the southern region, while China Mobile's Tietong has already taken the contract in the north.
The domestic market is so small, and since China Unicom doesn’t want it, I can only seek cooperation with the remaining two companies. I believe Mr. Wu will understand me. After all, work doesn’t wait for anyone, and so many people are waiting to start work and eat.
Every day of delay means a huge loss of funds, please forgive me and don’t take it to heart.”
"What? Director Li finalized the cooperation framework without discussing it with us?"
Wu Xiaoqi was anxious, "How can that be possible?"
He had promised the group's top management that Qingyun would offer better cooperation conditions, at least on par with China Mobile.
Those senior executives knew his background and thought that success would be shared by everyone, and it didn't matter if they failed. Would Qingyun Group still dare to resist?
Unexpectedly, Li Zehua was so stubborn. Since he refused to cooperate, he immediately transferred all cooperation on basic Internet services, including the allocation of mobile phone users and data packages.
There is no need to worry if China Unicom continues to delay. In less than three months, they will lose all of Qingyun's sales channels. By then, there will be no need for Li Zehua to continue to take action, as China Unicom's top management will get rid of Wu Xiaoqi.
For Qingyun, it is nothing more than a brief feud with China Unicom, but it is valued by the higher-ups and will not encounter any other suppression at all. At most, it will be hated for a while.
China Unicom's task of opening up new traffic customers, the college student market, and the existing customer base in rural areas will be impacted by Qingyun. Only God knows how many will be left by then.
For example, Honor and Roewe Electronics launched a two-pronged attack, successfully becoming the number one in the country with more than two million new traffic package users each month. If China Unicom was targeted alone.
Within two months, those furious leaders would tear Wu Xiaohui, the instigator, to pieces.
Wu Xiaohui played with fire and got burned. He glanced at his second brother and didn't dare to say anything else.
Wu Xiaoqi was the one who kept his composure. After saying some meaningless nonsense, he quickly said goodbye and left.
"You don't know what I'm talking about. You don't even want to be treated with respect!"
Li Zehua didn't pay much attention to it. He just looked at the information on hand and continued to work...
At the same time, in the Pengcheng Tengda headquarters, Tony Ma looked at the dazzling data on his mobile phone and couldn't bear it anymore, so he smashed the newly bought teacup.
The last time he broke a cup was when the Three Kou and Kou's bodyguard were online.
“It seems that as long as you can drive traffic through the computer version of QQ, you can conquer the world. Now the latest data is out, WeChat has successfully topped the list with 2100 million registered users and 260 million active users.
As for QQ on mobile phones, it seems to have 1300 million registered users, but the number of active users who log in for three hours a day is less than 100 million!
Go, find Zhang Xiaolong for me, I need a product that can compete with WeChat, not the bloated and cumbersome mobile QQ! "
Liu Zhiping looked worried, "We are using the free Wi-Fi routers offered when buying a mobile phone to cooperate with telecommunications operators to provide free Internet access.
This move by WeChat is indeed powerful. This is the inherent limitation of the computer. Not everyone can use a computer 24 hours a day but can keep their mobile phone in hand all day.
In addition, the special capabilities that Qingyun has given to WeChat have turned it into an indispensable tool for production and life. If nothing changes, I'm afraid no one can stop WeChat from reaching the top of the mobile market.
We don't have much time left!" (End of this chapter)
