Chapter 568 The Concept of WeChat Pay
In Zhang Liangying's apartment, a three-dish meal with soup was laid out on the dining table.
Braised pork ribs, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, steamed shrimp with garlic and vermicelli, and winter melon and pork rib soup. There was also a small pot of rice cooking in the pot.
It was almost seven o'clock when Fu Yibai rang the doorbell.
Zhang Liangying peeked through the peephole and opened the door to let him in.
"Later than I expected."
"The traffic was too bad, it took a while."
Fu Yibai changed into slippers and hung his coat on the coat rack by the door.
The two people sat facing each other at the table, eating and chatting.
After dinner, Zhang Liangying cleared the dishes, while Fu Yibai sat on the living room sofa looking at messages on his phone.
In the family group chat, Yang Mi posted a set of candid photos taken during the filming of "Divas Hit the Road".
The photo shows her, Jing Tian, Liu Yifei, and Dilraba Dilmurat, all dressed in local Australian spring clothing, posing for a photo on a rocky outcrop by the coast.
The background image captures the moment when the waves crash against the rocks and burst into white foam; the sky is blue and the sun is shining brightly.
Tang Yan replied in the group, "I'm so envious, I also want to go out and play."
Fan Binbin replied, "Aren't you having fun in Hengdian right now?"
Tang Yan sent a wronged emoji.
After looking at the photos, Fu Yibai sent a message in the group.
How's the weather in Australia? Remember to wear sunscreen.
Yang Mi replied instantly: "The weather is fantastic! It's spring here now, not too hot or too cold. Yi Bai, why don't you come over and stay for a couple of days?"
Fu Yibai: "I have other things to do here. You guys record properly and don't slack off."
Yang Mi replied with a pouting emoji.
Zhang Liangying came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes and sat down next to Fu Yibai.
She glanced at the messages in the family group chat on his phone screen, said nothing, and simply leaned into his arms, quietly keeping him company.
"Are you free next week?" Zhang Liangying suddenly asked.
"What's wrong?"
"I recorded a demo of a new song and I'd like you to hear it."
If you think it's okay, I'd like to put it on the album at the end of the year.
"Play it for me now."
"don't want."
Zhang Liangying shook her head.
"The demo hasn't been mixed yet, it's too rough."
Let's wait until the producer has revised it.
"Okay. Next week then."
Zhang Liangying tilted her head back and kissed his chin, then sat up from his lap.
"Go take a shower first, I'll tidy up the living room."
On October 15, Fu Yibai boarded a plane to Shenzhen.
This time he didn't bring anyone with him, traveling light and aiming for a quick return.
At 1 p.m., the plane landed, and the driver arranged by Tencent was waiting for him with a sign.
It was already 1:30 pm when the car exited the airport expressway and turned into the city.
The outline of Tencent Building stands out against the gray-blue sky of Shenzhen.
Fu Yibai has been here many times, and every time he comes, he can feel that the company is expanding in size.
The number of people in the lobby is more than double that of two years ago.
The receptionist had obviously been notified in advance, and as soon as she saw Fu Yibai enter the lobby, she immediately came to greet him and led him to the private elevator.
"Mr. Fu, Mr. Ma and several shareholders are already waiting for you in the conference room."
The elevator doors opened, and the meeting room door at the end of the corridor was also open.
Ma stood at the door, with members of Tencent's core decision-making team standing beside him.
"Director Fu, we've been waiting for you."
Tencent's Ma extended his hand, his grip as firm and honest as ever.
"Mr. Ma, it's been a long time."
Fu Yibai shook hands with him.
The meeting room was small, with a dark gray tablecloth covering the long table, and a bottle of mineral water and a bound set of meeting materials in front of each seat.
The projection screen has been lowered, displaying a single PowerPoint slide titled "Feasibility Analysis of Tencent's Mobile Payment Business".
Fu Yibai sat down in the first seat to the right of the main seat, a seat that Tencent's Ma had specially reserved for him.
"Everyone's here, let's begin."
Tencent's Ma sat down next to Fu Yibai and nodded to Ren Yuxin.
Ren Yuxin stood up and walked to the projection screen, using the remote control to turn to the second page of the PPT.
"Dear shareholders, there is only one core topic at today's meeting—WeChat Pay."
"WeChat currently has over 400 million registered users, over 200 million monthly active users, and over 10 billion messages sent daily."
This scale has established an absolute leading advantage in the domestic instant messaging market.
But the question now is how to translate this scale advantage into commercial value.
He turned to the next page, where two comparison images appeared on the PPT.
On the left is a demonstration of Alipay's QR code payment function launched last year, and on the right is a blank page with only a large question mark.
