Chapter 290: payment method

Universal Building.
12th floor.
Liu Hong led Li Dong and Sun Tao to visit the computer room in the front, while introducing: "We are using a server cluster method, which will be equipped with a main server and six backup servers. When the main server fails ..."
Li Dong and Sun Tao listened very seriously.
Although Li Dong is a rebirth, his knowledge of computers is still limited to playing games and chatting.
Many proprietary names that Liu Hong said did not understand Li Dong at all, but it did not prevent him from understanding.
After Liu Hong said for a while, Li Dong asked: "How many people can support up to online at the same time?"
Liu Hong explained: "It depends on the situation. If it is just a simple text tour, millions of people are not a problem. However, shopping websites mainly need image caching ..."
Liu Hong cracked and said a lot, both Li Dong and Sun Tao scratched their heads.
Shen Qian, who was next to him, interjected: "Leader Liu means that if you follow the Taobao model, you can probably support 200,000 people at the same time visiting the web without a screen."
"Two hundred thousand people?"
Li Dong is a little dissatisfied with this data. Other people in the past life have always been online with millions of people. They are still playing dynamic games.
Now that there is no money saved here, Liu Hong can only do online shopping for 200,000 people, which is too little.
Shen Qian knew what Li Dong thought when he looked at it, and he didn't have a good air: "Do you think there are fewer than 200,000 people? At this stage, let alone 200,000 people, 10,000 people are more than enough! It's online at the same time, and It ’s not cumulative traffic. According to Team Leader Liu ’s prediction, more than one million daily traffic will not cause network congestion. Do you think we can achieve it at this stage?

Li Dong touched his chin, and his daily visits exceeded one million. This task is more difficult.
After thinking about it, Shen Qian was right. Li Dong nodded and said: "Then let's do this first, but the website will definitely develop better and better, and the preparation work should be done."
Several people in Liu Hong are speechless. Now that the website hasn't been made yet, you think so much. Is it too early?
Shen Qian was too lazy to refute, and said: "Don't say anything else, wait until the website is promoted to have 200,000 people online."
At this time, there were not many websites that could do this in China. Shen Qian felt that it would take a year or two to talk less about this time. Li Dong thought too beautifully.
Li Dong didn't take it seriously, was it more than 200,000?
It sounds like a lot now, but in a few years, 200,000 people, any small shopping site can do it.
Of course, it is not true to tell whether it is true or not, anyway, other people say so.
Next, Li Dong looked at the office area again. The environment of the office area was well arranged. Because there were few people and the place was large, Shen Qian ’s office here was more spacious than Li Dong ’s office upstairs.
After all, there are now more than 100 office workers upstairs, and only 20 or more people downstairs and logistics. Naturally, the conditions cannot be equal.
Li Dong went into Shen Qian's office for a while and turned back to Shen Qian: "You are quite a big place. Let the office upstairs let out. Director Song they are now an office of several people."
Shen Qian didn't care: "Anyway, anyway, you have to move to a new building by the end of the year."
Li Dong smiled and said, "Just agree to it. When I move into the new building at the end of the year, I will choose a large office for you."
Shen Qian smiled and said: "As big as Mr. Sun?"
Li Dong touched his nose and glanced at Sun Tao before saying: "I'll talk about it later."
He knew what Shen Qian meant, not the size of the office, but the status.
Li Dong doesn't really matter. After all, Shen Qian has brought him a lot of help. If he can tie Shen Qian to the company, a deputy general manager or even a general manager is nothing.
But after all, we must take care of others' ideas. Sun Tao is now his partner, and Wang Yue and other directors are also important figures from afar.
If Shen Qian had the problem of identity alone, once Shen Qian was decentralized, those people might not be happy.
Of course, if Shen Qian can build the mall, Li Dong will let her go up, and others have nothing to say.
As for whether the mall can be done, Li Dong is quite sure, but it is only a matter of time.
By that time, if Shen Qian was willing to stay, Li Dong would like to support Sun Tao, but now it is too early to say that.
"Huh, you know you are fooling."
Shen Qian was too lazy to struggle with him, and continued: "We haven't been busy developing the website for the past few days, but there are a few things I want to hear from you."
"what's up?"
"First, is the name of the mall, is it the distant mall?"
Li Dong frowned, is there any limitation in the remote mall?
After all, in his consideration, the last thing the mall has to do is to develop into a third-party platform, rather than an exclusive online shopping platform for distant supermarkets.
If it's called Faraway Mall ...
During Li Dong's contemplation, Sun Tao quite agreed: "Yuanyuan Mall is pretty good. Once you hear it, you know that it is Yuanyuan Company. You can use the supermarket's reputation to promote the mall in the early stage.
Li Dong thought about this is not bad, after all, Jingdong and Suning are also named after their own companies.
As for Taobao, old horses like to change their names, which is harmless.
The name is not a big deal, as long as the promotion is good, it doesn't matter what the name is.
Thinking of this, Li Dong nodded and said: "It's called Yuanfang Mall."
Shen Qian didn't struggle with it, and talked about the second question.
"What payment method do we use at that time?"
Li Dong was stunned for a moment, and rightfully said: "Alipay!"
But as soon as he finished talking, Li Dong realized where the problem was!
Alipay, that is a third-party payment company under Ali!
With Ali Taobao, Taobao can grow and develop without the promotion of Alipay. If you also use Alipay, this is not a capital enemy.
This is not the most important thing. The key is to use Alipay, which will later be subject to others.
Once Alipay is used for payment, future transaction data will be fully exposed to Alibaba ’s eyes. Commercial data is always the core secret of an enterprise. If exposed to outsiders, it ’s okay when it ’s not an enemy. Once it becomes an enemy, it does n’t know how to die. .
Li Dong wanted to be a third party and was destined to become a competitor with Taobao.
Even though he is nothing now, Ali does not even know the onion he is, but he is well prepared and better than he will be under the control of others in the future.
In addition, the return of funds is also a problem, the handling fee is also a huge expenditure, and the company's business model is exposed ...
This series of shortcomings made Li Dong suddenly give up using Alipay payment methods.
If Li Dong just wants to be a supermarket mall, then it does not matter what payment method is used, but if you want to be bigger, this private third-party payment platform must not be used.
In the past, JD.com chose to buy online banking online, Suning chose to develop Epay, and Tencent also has its own Tenpay ...
Don't these companies know that it is costly to develop a third-party payment platform, and the gains and profits are not proportional?
But others just chose to develop or acquire by themselves in order not to be controlled by others.
Thinking of this, Li Dong realized that there are still many things he should learn, and he was often influenced by his past life, and sometimes made some subjective judgments.
For example, this time, if it were not Shen Qian who asked, Li Dong had never thought about the issue of payment.
After a long breath, Li Dong said: "In the early stage, we can cooperate with UnionPay and other non-private third-party payment platforms. Later, when we get bigger, we will develop our own payment platform."
Shen Qian frowned: "Aren't the payment methods monotonous?"
Li Dong waved his hand and said: "We can also use cash on delivery. Now there are not many online payment methods. Everyone is used to paying in cash ..."
After Li Donggang finished talking, Sun Tao questioned: "If you use cash on delivery, it will be very troublesome to outsource logistics, and it will take a period of time for the payment to arrive. We may have to form our own logistics team at that time."
As soon as Li Dong heard this, he suddenly felt big.
Originally, he felt that it was not difficult to develop a shopping mall. As long as there were more advertisements, and he was willing to spend money on promotion, everything was not a problem.
But who knows that because of a small payment method, first of all to develop a payment platform, and then because of cash payment, they have to form a logistics team.
Although it is not necessary to form a logistics team, if you use an external logistics company, the collection of goods will be restricted. Wanting to be an independent third-party mall is really not as simple as you think.
Sun Tao could not help but frown when he saw Li Dong: "Why not use the existing payment method. According to your statement, we will increase a lot of expenses and cause some unnecessary trouble."
Li Dong waved his hand and said: "I have considered this matter. Others's are others', and ultimately they are not convenient for my own use."
Although Sun Tao still didn't understand, he didn't say anything.
Only Shen Qian's eyes lit up, and she wanted to know Li Dong's answer when she asked this question.
Now it seems that she guessed right. If Li Dong is just satisfied to be a business superstore, then he doesn't need to worry about this at all. It seems that this guy has a good appetite.
Not only did Shen Qian understand, but Liu Hong beside him also felt a slight shock. Compared with Sun Tao, an layman, Liu Hong obviously knew more about the meaning of the third-party payment platform ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But Liu Hong still had some doubts in his heart, Li Dong could Arrive?
Nowadays, even the mall is a mirror of water, Li Dong thinks so much at this stage, will he be too arrogant?
Then Liu Hong thought that Li Dong was worthless from the previous year, and now that he has a net worth of more than 100 million yuan, maybe he can really create a miracle.
Everyone on the field has their own thoughts, and Li Dong has no mood to guess what they think.
After frowning for a moment, Xu Jiu said, "For the time being, let me think about these things for a while. I will be a little confused in my mind at one and a half moments. Your priority is to develop the mall and seize the time. If you have any difficulties, let me mention them. "
Liu Hong quickly said: "Thank you Mr. Li, we will make every effort."
"Well, let's do this today."
Li Dong sighed and said nothing, and left the e-commerce department with Sun Tao.
