Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

"Okay, okay."

Seeing his wife come to the company, Bezos could only nod.

"Let's go, don't go to the underground parking lot. You are so tired. It's dangerous for you to drive. I called a car."

"Is there a car so late?"

"Just now I called a taxi with my mobile phone, and he will arrive in a while. Look, he is still 500 meters away from us."

"Is this Didi Taxi?"

Didi Dache Bezos still knows.

In fact, he has used it before, but the user experience of Didi Taxi was not good at that time. Like Uber, he had to wait for a long time for a taxi.

And because Bezos always drives home by himself, he rarely uses such taxi-hailing software.

"Yes, this is Didi Taxi."

"Didn't you use Uber before?"

"Uber is going to be phased out. No one uses Uber anymore. Now everyone uses Didi."

"That's true."

Thinking of Didi’s 10 billion US dollars, although it is a prodigal, this advertisement is really good.

Although Uber started earlier than Didi, it is not as rich as Didi.

Internet business is like this.

Without money, you can only be eliminated.

Not to mention, Didi recently raised a huge amount of money, 100 billion US dollars.

Sighing, the car arrived soon, and Bezos and his wife sat in the back seat.

"It seems very convenient."

"Well, it's pretty good. You know my driving skills have always been bad. Now I use taxis to go to other places."

"Taxi take a long time to respond."

"No, no, no, the response time for taking a taxi used to be very long, but now it's up to 1 minute, or even 1 minute, and sometimes it can be done in a dozen seconds."

"So fast?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, the Didi driver who was driving the car also replied at this time: "Hehe, I don't know how convenient Didi is to use now. Many people have joined Didi Taxi, so you just need to take a taxi casually. We'll get the information."

"Really, in the middle of the night?"

"Of course. Just like now, it's past 2 o'clock, but I still have more than a dozen friends who haven't logged out yet, and they're all on Didi. Moreover, there are more than 300 people in our group, and most of them haven't logged out yet."

"My God, are you fighting so hard?"

"It doesn't count. I used to run taxis, but now I run Didi. It's also because Didi has good policies, so I want to make more money."

"That's right, Didi is constantly subsidizing you now. But what if it doesn't give you subsidies in the future?"

Bezos naturally knows that it is absolutely impossible to make up for this subsidy all the time.

After the market is opened, the subsidy may be cancelled.

Not only will it be canceled, but a handling fee will be charged later.

Otherwise, those who engage in Didi Taxi should drink Northwest Wind, this is the usual business logic.

"It depends on the situation, but I see, even if there is no subsidy in the future, I will still use Didi."

"why?"

"One is free to use Didi, you can call if you want, and you can turn off if you don't. The other is that many people use Didi now, and there is no order if you don't raise money. The third is that we don't need to grab orders, the system will directly give We send orders... Another thing is that since Didi started, people don't want to drive much anymore. Just like you, I will drive directly to your company to pick you up. It is much more convenient than driving by yourself, and we can also earn money. get more."

"Oh……"

Bezos nodded gloomily.

Although he has to admire the business model of Didi Taxi.

But after all, Didi is owned by his competitor, Huanyu Technology. Seeing Didi's popularity made him unhappy.

However, Didi is not a direct competitor of Amazon after all, and Bezos is too lazy to care about him.

It is also impossible for him to see which business has a good prospect, so he will do it.

"Okay, two, here we are."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, I wish you a happy life."

Saying goodbye to the Didi driver, Bezos asked his wife, "Hey, why didn't you pay just now?"

"It's okay, the order has been completed, even if I don't pay, the system will deduct the money in my account after a period of time."

"Hehe, that's right."

Bezos understood as soon as he heard it.

This is actually the same as payment in e-commerce.

Even if you receive the goods and don't pay, it's okay.

After the time is up, the system will also transfer your money to the seller.

"No, no, honey, what did you say just now?"

Suddenly something felt wrong, and Bezos froze there.

"I said go home, take a shower, go to sleep, you are tired too."

"No, last sentence."

"The last sentence... I said that the system will automatically deduct my money."

"No, that's not what you said. You seem to be talking about an account."

"Oh, yes, the system will automatically deduct money from my account."

"That's it."

Bezos quickly asked, "What account?"

"Pay through the account number."

"Isn't it a Didi account?"

"It's actually the same. The Didi account is bound to the Alipay account, so I can pay with the Alipay account."

"God……"

this moment.

Bezos, who has never woken up, finally knows why Pinduoduo broke out recently.

All of this, just because of one - payment.

Chapter 1160: Super Pear 2

How does payment affect shopping?

Before the very beginning, payment was just a payment tool, and there was nothing unique about it.

But later, as e-commerce became bigger and bigger, major e-commerce companies began to build their own payment platforms.

Such as ebay's paypal, and Amazon's p card.

In essence, these payment platforms are the same as AliPay.

but.

different from China.

Because credit cards are used too frequently in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, the development of paypal and p-card is not very good.

People still prefer to pay with payment cards.

Especially in offline life, basically, paypal and p card have no room for development.

However, the popularity of Didi Taxi suddenly pushed Alipay out.

Because if you want to take a taxi, you must pay with AliPay.

Of course, you can not use it.

However, Didi Taxi's crazy spending of money before will continue to tempt you to use it.

Although at present, Didi Taxi basically does not need money, and even pays back.

But Didi Taxi has set up: the subsidy and reverse subsidy you want, the system will subsidize you only after you pay a sum of money.

Maybe you will think, this looks the same, isn't it free of money?

No, no.

This is completely different.

Although the result is that no money is required, consumers still use AliPay to pay during the payment.

And when you gradually become more and more accustomed to using it, especially after you take a taxi, you will be subsidized, so what should you do with the rest of the payment?

Well, easy enough, go shopping.

And where to shop for this shopping?

Sorry, PayPass only supports Pinduoduo.

Of course, it would be great if Amazon could also support PayPass.

But it is impossible for Amazon to support AliPay.

This is one of those patterns.

Also.

Even if sometimes there is no balance in PayPass, which platform will users choose?

Maybe they'll still choose Amazon.

However, there are also many people who will choose Pinduoduo.

As for why?

It's also very simple.

When Didi taxis develop a habit of continuous payment, they will subconsciously bring this habit to the online payment platform.

This is just like WeChat payment in the previous life.

WeChat was not originally a payment tool.

But how did WeChat Pay take away a large market from Alipay?

It's not about technology.

It depends on habit.

When you use WeChat constantly, naturally, when you pay, your first thought is to click WeChat.

Even if you have money in Alipay, I'm sorry, although Alipay is very good, it really doesn't open a few times a month.

"My God, they actually did it, they actually did it."

Bezos was so excited that he couldn't help himself when he saw Alipay paying the taxi fare offline.

To know.

Bezos, an e-commerce madman, doesn't want to be his own payment platform.

Such as their P card.

But no matter how good the P card is, it can only be used on their Amazon platform.

When it comes to offline platforms, sorry, few platforms will accept it.

Once Bezos also spent some money trying to move the P card to the offline platform, but unfortunately, it has not been successful.
