Chapter 666: Update, start!
Chapter 666 updated, activated!
As the morning light shines into the winter city, the sleeping people are quietly awakened.
With the winter vacation and weekends, business districts everywhere are extremely busy. Xingye has returned to the big screen as a director after many years, and has brought a "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" for the Lunar New Year, which has already begun to warm up.
Major shopping malls have also launched various promotional activities or bundled marketing to continuously add fuel to the prosperity of the market.
Cui Yiting's nail salon in Kyoto also ushered in the peak season at this time, with customers constantly coming in from morning to night.
She is the person who has completely separated from the Internet business. Now she is working in the service industry. Although she does not have the excitement of burning tens of millions in the past, she feels extremely at ease.
Everything you make is your own, which is more comfortable than using other people’s financing to burn down the industry.
However, even though she has left the Internet business, Cui Yiting can still feel the gunpowder of the Internet business war from time to time.
Just like now, the market battle between Alipay and Pintuan Cloud QuickPass.
From summer to autumn, the promotion of UnionPay was huge, coupled with the linkage effect of Xihanheqing, Wanzhong Mall and other business districts, it almost pushed Alipay into a corner.
But after winter, with the popularity of payment boxes in first-tier cities, Union Quick Pass has been suppressed by Alipay.
“It’s still the same algorithm as before, unchanged.”
Before the arrival of winter, these people bought coupons in group shopping before going to the store to make purchases. However, since Alipay launched offline consumption subsidies, almost half of the users stopped using group coupons and began to scan QR codes to pay.
“Miss Cui.”
Perhaps for ordinary people, half a year is long enough, but for business activities, Cui Yiting's feelings are only four words, and they change rapidly.
With the support of the group-sharing supply chain, it is unwise to burn money head-on in the catering field with group-sharing, but what if a sum of money can burn out the three markets of payment, group purchase and takeout?
The Alibaba family has a big business and abundant capital flow. Pang Rui feels that even if the offline catering field is a tough nut, she still has to gnaw it.
Zhang Xu opened his bag and took out Alipay's new poster: "Miss Cui, please post it in the store."
Zhang Xu grinned: "The double subsidy is for catering merchants."
She is someone who has worked as a publicity manager for . She knew at just one glance that Alipay plans to use the winter vacation and New Year period to completely conquer the market and will not leave any breathing space for UnionPay QuickPass.
Cui Yiting frowned: "Isn't it right? Why did I hear that Alipay's merchant subsidies have also doubled?"
Since the establishment of Pintuan downgraded Alipay's priority, offline catering has become Alipay's shortcomings. After all, the habit of buying coupons first when going out for dinner is not easy to change.
Cui Yiting glanced at it and saw that it was a warm-up poster that Alipay would start to increase discounts.
“Miss Cui is kidding, you have done big business before, how could you not even understand this routine?”
Hence, Alipay’s money-burning campaign is mainly targeting merchants and consumers in the catering industry.
The people who come to their shop for manicures are basically young women from the nearby CBD, and they are very receptive to popular things.
“Manager Zhang, why are you here again?”
The business was busy until noon. Zhang Xu, Alipay’s local promotion manager, opened the door curtain and entered the store.
“How much is the merchant subsidy?”
"You can say that I am like a **** of plague. I have a new mission when I come here this time."
It is precisely because of this that Cui Yiting has received a lot of Alipay merchant bonuses recently.
“Huh, are you treating us differently? Do you look down on our nail salon?”
Cui Yiting pouted, sent Zhang Xu away, and then casually threw the Alipay poster on the counter.
They not only want to fight in the payment market, but also want to win back food delivery and group buying. The methods of big companies are really no small matter.
She returned to her nail salon with coffee, and then suddenly saw a group pushing team hurried past her and entered the barbecue restaurant next door.
Sometimes, some inconspicuous things will be ignored if you don’t pay attention. But when you really pay attention, you will find that this street seems to be full of push-ups.
They go to and from major stores, carrying bulging satchels, and they rotate around every half an hour.
Cui Yiting stood at the door of the nail salon, trying to block passers-by from her eyes, and found that the group shopping mall with work badges was constantly expanding, and the activity area was gradually radiating outwards.
She poked her head towards the barbecue restaurant next door, and saw that the man who had just entered the restaurant, together with the waiter, unzipped a piece of sticker and slapped it on the corner of the table.
Going from one store to that store, we pushed and pushed in groups quickly, sweeping across the entire CBD.
"At this time, no matter how many advertisements are posted, it will be of no use."
“The general trend is irresistible...”
Cui Yiting shook her head, turned and entered her store.
The business was busy until about seven o'clock in the afternoon. When the last manicure customer left, Cui Yiting also packed her bag and planned to leave.
But as soon as she walked out of the door, she noticed a large group-buying QR code posted on the door of the barbecue restaurant next door, which was very eye-catching.
There were a lot of people coming to have barbecue in the evening. Under the introduction of the waiter, they opened the group group one after another and scanned the QR code at the door.
After scanning the QR code, some people thought about it and chose to leave, while others sat on the stools at the door and chose to wait.
Cui Yiting watched for a long time. Out of curiosity, she took out her mobile phone and scanned it. After the page jumped, it showed that there were three tables of customers in front of her, and a queue number was generated.
?)
Cui Yiting was stunned for a moment, thinking that the group-building function was quite convenient.
However, as Alipay and Hungry are not as good as word-of-mouth, and under such a high-intensity offensive, is it really still useful to facilitate users to increase their favorability?
Then she started to sit and wait. It wasn't until the waiter called her in that she found that the page on her mobile phone had jumped to the ordering page.
However, due to an operational error, Cui Yiting accidentally exited from the page before she finished ordering her meal.
The waiter pointed to the corner of the table and said, you can also scan the QR code to order food here.
Cui Yiting re-entered the ordering page after scanning, and found that meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, cold dishes, skewers, wine, beverages and other categories were all available.
She wanted to eat in the evening, so she started adding items to the shopping cart. After clicking to place an order, she entered the checkout page and was automatically redirected to UnionPay.
After paying, Cui Yiting began to wait for the meal, and then began to observe the situation in the store.
This barbecue restaurant has always been very popular. It not only has dine-in dining on the first floor, but also has private seating on the second floor. Because it is relatively close to her own restaurant, Cui Yiting also brought her employees to eat there several times.
But several times before, the bar was crowded with people ordering food, and the waiter in charge of ordering was always in a hurry, and there were many mistakes and omissions.
As for the people on the second floor, they either need to order food before going up, or they need a waiter to go upstairs to order food. Five or six people are running up and down the stairs non-stop. Together with the waiters serving food, the scene is extremely chaotic and the business is extremely chaotic. At the end of the day, if the waiter talks less, half his life will be lost.
But today, it was extremely empty and quiet from the bar to the second floor. Except for the waiter who served the dishes, the other waiters were very leisurely.
Soon, the kebabs ordered by Cui Yiting arrived, and then they began to eat.
Girls are more concerned about their body shape and don’t eat much at night. Cui Yiting was also like this. Half an hour later, when dinner was over, she couldn’t help but stare at the small white Alipay box at the front desk and fell into deep thought.
She never went to the front desk from the time she walked in to the time she finished eating.
At this moment, she noticed that a waiter came in a hurry, reached out and took off the newly posted poster of Alipay's offline consumption subsidy.
(Please give me a monthly pass, please give me a monthly pass...)
