Because of the hot weather, after the concert in Beijing, there was no schedule for other events in the next twenty days.

After the celebration banquet that night, Zhou Jielun and Cai Yilin naturally had to go back to Wanwan. The former had his own agency arrangements, while the latter had to attend some promotional activities such as signing and meetings for fans in Wanwan.

Quan Baoya was going back to Seoul, and the s-m company was planning to arrange for her to participate in several outdoor reality shows. Dongyi people are particularly obsessed with competing for misery and selling hardships. The agency likes to emphasize that "it's harder and harder for my idol" to gain the sympathy of fans.

When Gu Cheng learned about this situation during a chat, he naturally would not tolerate such activities that deliberately seek suffering in hot weather.

At present, Quan Baoya is already his distant cousin, and it doesn’t hurt to be a brother.

So he called Li Xiuman and said that there were two local TV stations in China and that he could go on an interview program, so he sent Li Xiuman.

At worst, I can go back to Qiantang and arrange an interview for Quan Baoya on the provincial station, make a documentary short film or something.

Through the three screening rights transactions of "Meteor Garden", "The Golden Fenage Family" and "Blue Life and Death Love", Gu Cheng's people on the side have become very familiar with Wu Yue TV. I give you a little red envelope and I am very welcome to any variety show I want to play.

That night, I took a night off at a hotel in Beijing, and the next day, Quan Baoya and Lin Zhiling flew back to Qiantang with Gu Cheng on the same flight.

...

The regional discriminatory caused by "Alipay crowdfunding" has proactively rushed, and the sequelae of registering accounts and entering the trap are far from over.

More than two months ago, peers including "Huaxia Performing Arts" sneered at Gu Cheng's Internet ticketing strategy.

Even Zhang Xiao, the director of "Huaxia Performing Arts", took advantage of the opportunity of fans asking questions at Gu Cheng's concert, and blew Gu Cheng without any action, and advertised for his company.

Now, these people's attitudes have become completely opposite.

The day after Gu Cheng returned to Qiantang, a guest came to the door with a generous gift and apologized for guilt. It was Zhang Xiao who hacked him last time.

"Mr. Gu, you have a lot of money. That day, we said it was purely unintentional. We are willing to give 20% of the channel fee. Please help sell tickets to all our company's future performance conference activities. If we can get crowdfunding opportunities for our activities, we will also give an additional 5% handling fee."

Just an online ticket will give you a commission of 20%, which was simply impossible to think about.

For example, if it had been more than a year ago, Dangdang.com wanted to ask physical book publishers for 20% of the gross profit; physical book publishers would only roll their eyes on Li Guoqing and then directly look for the newly established Jingdong. Because there are many e-commerce platforms and fierce competition with each other, no one can overwhelm all competitors in traffic.

The current situation is reversed so obviously because everyone has seen the power of the tool "Alipay": without Alipay, it is still possible to do content e-commerce and online payment, but they will definitely not be able to play the crowdfunding tricks of viral marketing.

Gu Chengnian didn't offend him much in Zhang Xiao, and Gu Cheng answered the question that day if he was slight, so he was too lazy to be angry with these small characters. He accepted the surrender cooperation of "Huaxia Performing Arts" to a great extent.

Liu Bang was granted the title of Hou Yongchi, which brought countless people who had offended him to surrender with confidence.

Gu Cheng pardoned Zhang Xiao, which also made the country hesitant to relax its vigilance if it wanted to "go to the Internet" to performing arts companies.

However, in a few days, several of the largest performing arts companies and ticketing companies in China have expressed their cooperation with the newly divided "Damai.com" under Dingdang.com. All second-tier and above artists can be purchased from now on "Damai.com".

Alipay's self-inflated snowball speed is getting faster and faster.

On this day, it has been a week since Gu Cheng returned to Qiantang.

Gu Cheng and Pan Jieying just recruited the last batch of distribution channels for performing arts companies during the day and were in a good mood.

Quan Baoya just went to Wuyue TV to record an interview short video. She got off work on time and recently lived in Gu Cheng's house. Anyway, Gu Cheng's house in Baima Apartment is very big, and a few relatives live in it is not crowded at all.

This year, the Gu family hired two chefs who were invited back from a five-star hotel. They have good skills and are very good at buying a family banquet, which saves you from eating outside frequently. Gu Cheng called his home in advance at noon and asked the chef to prepare more good dishes and have some wine to celebrate in the evening.

At around 6 o'clock in the evening, the siblings arrived home on time. Pan Jieying was parked, and Gu Cheng received a call from Ma Feng on his mobile phone.

Gu Cheng is now very familiar with Ma Feng. He has many cooperations in business, so he naturally won’t be polite with Ma Feng. When he met, he asked half-jokingly: “Mr. Ma, what’s the good thing he has ever thought of you?”

"It's not a good thing, I have some random thoughts, so I'll talk to you. Why is there no one in your office to find you? The front desk doesn't tell you where you are."

It turned out that Ma Feng had not made an appointment and went straight to Gu Cheng's company. Gu Cheng was a little sorry: "I got off work early today. If I don't dislike it, come to my house for a drink and chat slowly."

Ma Feng laughed and scolded on the phone: "Damn, do you look like a big business person? You get off work at 6 o'clock? See you later."

Half an hour later, Ma Feng's driver and bodyguard took him to Gu Cheng's residence. Although they were very familiar with their business, this was the first time they visited their home.

Ma Feng tinkered for a long time before going upstairs. When he saw Gu Cheng, he complained: "You are so sensible that you can't find anywhere."

"It's dedicated to the top floor, and you can unlock it by swiping your card and fingerprints." Gu Cheng joked with a smile, while pouring Ma Feng a cup of juniper nuts, "Tell me what you want to talk to me today."

Pan Jieying and Quan Baoya were also very polite, holding fruit plates to greet the guests.

Ma Feng took a sip of wine, bit his lips and smacked it, saying, "You and Li Zi have such a big noise. I guess the Internet winter is coming to an end."

"No, when you think I'm going to put out the smoke bomb, I always tell the truth." Gu Cheng drank a little while with him. The ice cubes in the wine accounted for half of the amount, and the degree was very light, and it was exciting and sober when drinking.

"I really feel that way," Ma Feng put the cup heavily on the coffee table and said repeatedly, "So I'm going to bet with you too. Just bet that Internet business will soon usher in spring, so we will spend money in advance to set up a c2c e-commerce website waiting there."

"Class?" Gu Cheng was stunned, and then he thought of a very familiar word that he missed since the first day he traveled over...

Could it be that Ma Feng wants to...

"What? I think the timing is not right? I think it's quite suitable, so I'll call it 'Taobao.com'. I've already deployed it and can be tested during the Chinese New Year." Ma Feng did not notice Gu Cheng's expression and said to himself.

Taobao in history was taken out to test the waters at the end of May 2003, and preparations began in early 2003. But now it is only August 2002, and it is obvious that Ma Feng's "foresight of the times" was inspired in advance with the cooperation between Gu Cheng and Boss Li.

Taobao was originally planned to be less than a year before the end of the Internet winter, and completed its research and development and launch three or four months before the end of the winter. In another period of history, its launch time was only less than 2 months earlier than Google's adsense platform.

It can be seen that Ma Feng, the "old fox", has a very sensitive sense of smell. He can keenly pay attention to clues from the perspective of the environmental heat and the concerns of his peers.

Now, Gu Cheng obviously aroused the other party's sense of smell in advance.

Thinking about these twists and turns, Gu Cheng was stunned and laughed dryly: "Why is it not suitable? I also feel that after the cold winter of the Internet, a colleague should come forward and pick up the C-term e-commerce platform that no one dared to think of. In this way, more people can join this entrepreneurial game and truly benefit the people."

Ma Feng took out a pack of cigarettes and was about to take a few puffs before speaking. When he saw the female family in the room with a slightly disgusting look, he smiled awkwardly and gave up lighting the cigarette:

"I'm doing this, of course, there are places where Xiao Gu cooperates with you to borrow your Alipay for two years. Otherwise, my Taobao can only expect that the buyer will pay directly after the online banking ban is released next year, and the promotion will be much more difficult."

It turns out that I am asking for help from Brother Bai Yong’s Alipay!

Gu Cheng was so smart that he thought that otherwise Ma Feng would not have given him half of his business opportunities.

Gu Cheng jokingly gave Ma Fengman a drink: "It's okay to use Alipay. Those performing arts companies in the 'Huaxia Performing Arts' have agreed to give me some channel fees these days. Your Taobao website is planning to use Alipay to pay to sell goods. Should you also express your feelings to me?"

Ma Feng was stung by a hornet, and said disgustedly with the expression "You kid, don't fool me": "I sell the real economy, not the content, you get the money, how can I get the commission for you?"

Gu Cheng shrugged and was about to cheat again: "Then why should I use Alipay for you?"

Ma Feng's eyes flashed sly: "Please, the country will buy tickets to watch concerts, and there are only a few million rich people. Even if you follow the slap, it will not exceed 20 million at most. Don't look at your expansion of Alipay so fast now. If you only use virtual and content, you will definitely have weak momentum after 20 to 30 million people. Do you believe it? My Taobao website is willing to use you, and is helping you promote Alipay to 50 million people, or even hundreds of millions of people to install it!"

Of course, Gu Cheng could not show weakness directly: "Brother Ma, this is unsure. Before I started crowdfunding, no one thought that this market was big and could leverage several times the leverage population. Maybe once Internet technology advances, payment scenarios will become diversified soon."

Ma Feng and Gu Cheng were almost thief: "Okay, I can't tell you boy, but I really can't afford to pay, and I can't take it out. I'm just using your Alipay for free, but I promise that my Taobao will always give priority to your Alipay."

"Always? Priority? There seems to be something wrong with this statement. You are using it temporarily for me. If you make it bigger, you will get rid of it?"

"As long as you don't control me, I will certainly not leave it behind. This is all two-way. Besides, even if I don't make Alipay products, I won't be able to challenge you in China next year. By then, other colleagues will also make electronic payments, and they are bigger than you. I can't hang myself from a tree and it's incompatible with their payment methods."

Gu Cheng thinks it is better for everyone to be pragmatic: "Okay, don't test each other's long history. Who doesn't know who, just tell me a deadline. If I use Alipay to the 'Taobao' you will open in the future as a payment method, how long can you guarantee that only my Alipay family will be used?"

Ma Feng scratched his hair, got up and walked around for two rounds, stretching out three fingers: "3 years! I can guarantee that from January 2003 to the end of 2005, no matter how big my Taobao is, I will only support your Alipay payment method. I don't ask you to charge promotion fees, and don't ask me to charge transfer fees."
Chapter completed!
