Chapter 1047: Painful, but Delicious.
When Ma Fengyun was both happy and sad about such a surprise, he was not the only one who was both happy and sad. Alipay started to raise the price by supporting education, and then showed its clues in the expansion of the tutoring field. Later, it showed its strength in the game industry, making people understand what it is and how terrifying its ability to attract money is.
At present, there are very few B2B websites in China, only Ali and Huiming.com, which is a bit weird. But the hot game market has now emerged.
Although Xuri Technology is the most powerful prince at present, it cannot unify the world like the Qin Dynasty. Whether it is Jiucheng, Zhonglian, or NetEase, which is becoming more and more popular after continuous revisions and upgrades.
None of them are opponents that can be easily defeated. Although Xuri Technology has an advantage in strength and the weapons in its hands are the sharpest. But what they hold is also a sword, not a fire stick, plus some small princes of the second level.
The game market is expanding more rapidly than the previous Internet bubble period, and Alipay has always been a link that cannot be bypassed in this expansion process.
After all, if there is no Alipay, it doesn't matter if everyone sells recharge cards to play games, after all, everyone is the same. But when the players of Rising Sun Technology use Alipay, you can't let your own players buy troublesome recharge cards again, right?
There are also game companies with deep backgrounds that have contacted banks, hoping to reach a cooperation similar to Alipay. The speed at which Minsheng expands its user base with migrant workers and game players really makes major banks very jealous, and some private fundraising banks also want to follow suit.
The results are not satisfactory. The state-owned banks are so tight that they can't loosen their mouths at all, and private banks seem to be more free, but they don't have the reputation that Alipay has built by teaching and tutoring.
Now when it comes to the Internet, everyone subconsciously feels all kinds of insecurity. Playing a game and being hacked, chatting with MM or CC are also hacked.
Want players to feel at ease to bind bank cards to recharge in the game, how many are completely at ease?
Moreover, banks that directly develop this market probably can't guarantee that the payment system they come up with is safe. Whether it is performance or function, even the most basic security can't be compared with Alipay. How can this be played?
Then, another smart game company went to China Mobile for cooperation, using phone bill recharge to make in-game purchases. This idea is not ingenious, and both China Mobile and China Unicom are jealous of this piece of fat meat.
But in the end, everyone was a little speechless about the usage charges. First of all, whether it is China Unicom, China Mobile, or China Telecom's mobile phones.
They are mainly engaged in mobile communications, and phone bills are the cost of making calls. After recharging, they already have their own system for deducting fees.
To turn phone bills into game recharge fees, a separate system is required for settlement, and it is connected to the previous phone bill system for deduction.
Such a system is not difficult, but it is not easy. After all, the current phone bill system is still being improved, and there are occasional mistakes. If it is equipped with such a system, the data will definitely be more prone to errors.
Therefore, the three major operators have high requirements for fees, although they are not as high as the lion's mouth, and the game company will pay half and half for the game recharge inside the game.
But basically, the usage fee is about 15%, that is, if the player spends 100 in the game, the game company will pay 85, and the communication company will pay 15 yuan.
Although this ratio is not low, it is not high either. If it is done well, everyone can make money. But everyone is afraid of comparison. With the existence of Alipay, although it is very tough to charge 10% of the usage fee, the attitude is very bad.
But isn’t the 5% price difference attractive?
Attractive!
And very attractive, take Jiucheng as an example. Last year, the internal consumption amount of games paid through spending was 54 million, and the 5% fee difference is 2.7 million. So much money is enough to develop a new game. When Jiucheng was the agent of "Network Three Kingdoms", the agency fee was less than 500,000.
So after some entanglement, even if some well-informed people feel that Alipay and Rising Sun Technology have an unspeakable relationship. But in the end, they all used Alipay.
Therefore, in recent times, payment accounts and other domestic banks have begun to sign contracts to reach cooperation, and the bosses of game companies are in a state of ice and fire.
The hottest thing is that Alipay has basically achieved full coverage of all netizens. In addition, in the Internet cafe alliance spread all over the country, Alipay has become the most important standard configuration of Internet cafes besides computers and network cables.
As long as players want to recharge in the game, all aspects are fast and efficient, and the recharge fee will be credited to the account in minutes. The cold one is naturally the notice from Alipay that after the first phase of cooperation ends, the subsequent cooperation contract needs to be renegotiated.
This makes many game company bosses regret it, although Alipay is one-third cheaper than the 15% of the communication company.
But 10% is still cutting the flesh of the game company, and these bosses still feel the pain. Therefore, none of the companies that signed contracts with Alipay signed long-term contracts. The most signed was 9City for three years, and the others basically signed one year, and there were very few two-year contracts.
The contract expired and renegotiated, holding the trump card of covering all netizens in the country, although because it wanted to kick the communication company out of this market, Alipay could not raise the usage fee to such an exaggerated 15%. But even if it was only increased by one percentage point, it would be enough to make these bosses feel painful.
So these CEOs calculated with shining eyes how many percentage points their game turnover could be increased by this full coverage, and stared at Alipay's verdict with fear.
But some bold and far-sighted people still contacted some capital and some people with big backgrounds to see if they could get a share of this online payment transaction market.
At present, the domestic game industry is heading towards 10 billion at an astonishing speed, and this is far from the end of the game market. The 10 billion industry may reach it next year, and the next stop is the 100 billion industry.
Even if the 10% handling fee of the 10 billion industry is 1 billion, many large private companies and even some state-owned enterprises may not have such a profit in a year.
And people with outstanding vision have seen the signs that games are not the only way for Alipay to make money. With the diversification of the development of the Internet.
As long as you consume online, it seems that you can't get around this guy, and the Internet industry seems to have broken the 100 billion mark last year.
With the American Internet as a comparison, the future of this industry is a trillion-dollar giant. In such a large industry, let alone eating meat, you can be full of soup.
"What is the identity of that Young Master Yang?" Looking back at the Xinghai Hotel that gradually disappeared from his sight, Sun Tong couldn't help asking.
Everyone seemed very enthusiastic when they met for the first time, and Yang Dongxu was in a good mood, so he also drank two glasses. Hu Dashan and Miao Shan, they are undoubtedly good people.
One of them traveled all over the country to find suppliers, and the other used to be a gangster and now is a transporter. Before drunk driving was written into the law, wasn't the truck driver a drunkard?
The worst one was Zhang Tianming, the CEO with a scholar's spirit, but even so, it was half a catty, and he could take a catty if he held on.
So after drinking a lot of wine, Ma Fengyun was already lying on the back seat, and Sun Tong's head was also dizzy. But even if he was dizzy again, his curiosity about Yang Dongxu seemed to suppress the alcohol for a while.
Ma Fengyun, who was already lying on the back seat snoring, naturally couldn't give him an answer, so Sun Tong kept chanting like a spell in the driver's neurotic eyes.
Chen Xin was not at home, so Yang Dongxu, who was feeling a little dizzy and just sleeping, stayed at Xinghai Hotel. Every star-rated hotel has some luxury suites that are not open to the public.
Some of these are reserved rooms for shareholders, and some are for welcoming some important guests. Yang Dongxu has such a suite in Xinghai Hotel, and Li Fuzhen also has one.
However, after confirming with Li Fuzhen, the two suites became one suite. In Li Fuzhen's words, the annual maintenance fee for a high-end suite is so much money, what can you eat if it is not open to the public. This three-star princess suddenly showed the temperament of a good wife and mother.
Even though Yang Dongxu and her can only stay in this room several times a year, it was okay when Li Fuzhen was in Hangzhou before. As long as she was not on a business trip, she could stay once a month. After all, she has her own house, a very high-end apartment.
Now Li Fuzhen flies all over the country, and even plans to open branches in Malaysia and Singapore. If Yang Dongxu is not required for work, he will not be seen at Xinghai Hotel all year round. The so-called reserved room is basically empty all year round.
"Don't go back and forth, go to the front desk to get a room, and you can arrange it at your own expense." Yang Dongxu said to Du Fei after going upstairs.
Du Fei nodded and gave an order to the people below, and followed Yang Dongxu into the room. If Li Fuzhen was here, Du Fei would definitely go down and get a room himself.
But Li Fuzhen is no longer alone with Yang Dongxu, so he must sleep in the outer room at night. It is also where Li Fuzhen's bodyguards often sleep, and the bed is actually quite comfortable, not worse than the room below.
"Brother Du said when he will come back? There is no peace there recently." After entering the house, Yang Dongxu took off his coat and threw it on the sofa.
After the terrorist attack, the Americans were very ruthless to the terrorist organization. Even if Bin Laden said that he did not do it, it would be useless. The anti-terrorism alert in the world was instantly raised to the highest level, and the situation in the Middle East became more and more tense. So Yang Dongxu didn't want Du Suo to go in first, so he asked the Blade Security Company to selectively transfer.
"No news for now, but the possibility of returning is not great. Even if they withdraw, only some of the brothers will withdraw, and the main backbone will probably stay there. The least feared thing for people who eat this mouth is chaos. The more chaotic it is, the better the business and the higher the price." Du Fei licked his lips with a little resentment in his eyes.
Du Suo and Jie Chengwu are both old, although their kung fu has begun to touch the threshold of the grandmaster level. But combat effectiveness is for the enemy, and what Yang Dongxu needs is the ability to protect.
Therefore, Jie Chengwu could still switch shifts with Du Fei in the past few years, but now he stays in the Middle East and wanders around with Du Suo. Yang Dongxu's security work has been handed over to Du Fei, and there is no one to replace him.
This situation will undoubtedly continue for a long time, because Du Fei has not even seen the shadow of a shift. He was training a little tiger before, but this fucking thing ran away to play football, and all the training before was in vain.
