Silicon Valley

At this time, the development of the PayPal online payment system in the United States was successful. Henry was excited and was ready to leave for the United States! Warwick failed to acquire it, and Henry didn't care too much. If he eats the meat himself, he can't even give the soup to others. Besides, Cisco cannot monopolize the world either. Warwick fell, there may not be a second Warwick! In this case, try to suppress and contain Warwick as much as possible. Originally, he just wanted to control Huawei, make some money from it, and let Huawei's own leadership team manage the company, but now others don't agree. There is a saying that it is not uncommon for a strong twisted melon to be unsweetened, investors and management to have conflicts, and finally lead to the collapse of the company.

Henry no longer insists!

if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate!

This time when I return to the United States, I will not come back to Hong Kong until at least the disintegration of the Soviet Union. And next time, there may be a wave of acquisitions! ! !

Banks, real estate, telecommunications, newspapers, TV stations in Southeast Asia and other countries are all Henry's goals!

Before leaving, Henry made a series of arrangements for ATV.

First, Asia TV is actively introducing classic TV series to Taiwan, the mainland and other places, and at the same time exporting its own TV series, strengthening the connection between the three places, and preparing for entering the mainland and Taiwan in the future!

Second, strengthen the production capacity of Asian TV production companies, send people to Taiwan and Hollywood to inspect and study, and learn from others' strengths! In addition, TV series can be adapted from famous works, such as novels by Qiong Yao, Jin Yong, Gu Long and others...

After finishing, Henry got on a plane and flew to the United States!

...

...

A day later, California, Silicon Valley, San Jose, Nicholas headquarters building!

Henry walked into the building, followed by Gilly Hurt and others. Gilly Hurt reported the company's situation while walking.

"The PayPal payment system has been well developed, safe and reliable, and has strong anti-virus and anti-phishing website detection capabilities!!! As long as there is an email address, the user can log in to open a PayPal account, become its user through verification, and then provide Credit card or related bank information, select recharge, and then a certain amount of money can be transferred from the bank account (such as a credit card) registered when opening the account to the PayPal account. Users can use the PayPal account to pay directly on the Nicholas shopping network!!!”

Henry nodded: "Well, it's not bad. But PayPal has not done better, and some areas need to be improved!"

Gilly Hurt heard the words, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Henry smiled slightly and did not immediately explain.

A few minutes later, everyone came to the office. After Henry sat down, he said, "First of all, I am very happy that PayPal was successfully developed. In addition, there are still many areas for improvement in this project. The positioning is wrong, it is not just a shopping service for Nicholas, but an online payment system whose core purpose is to create the fastest payment method in the world. In addition to supporting direct shopping, it will also support transfer payment!!! "

"The user transfers money to the beneficiary through a PayPal account. If the other party is also a PayPal account, the transfer can be successful; if the other party does not have a PayPal account, the recipient's email must be provided. Then, the beneficiary must follow the instructions in the PayPal email. , enter the webpage to register, get a PayPal account, and then transfer the money to the PayPal account. If the user needs, they can also transfer the money from the PayPal account to their personal credit card account or bank account!!!"

"With this 'viral marketing' approach, PayPal will grow very fast!!!"

After everyone listened, they nodded again and again, and Gilly Hurt said with admiration on his face, and said excitedly: "Chairman, I will then order people to improve immediately!"

"Yeah!" Henry nodded, and then said, "Nicholas Business is a B2B business, and cross-border transactions are very inconvenient in the payment process. This is a good opportunity to promote PayPal!"

Geely Hurt said with a look of embarrassment: "Chairman, foreign banks have hardly opened online banking, so I'm afraid it's impossible to recharge the money to the PayPal account!"

"Well, this is a problem..." Henry pondered for a while, "You don't have to worry about the bank, I will let Williams Bank speed up its global layout. Of course, in order to make PayPal and Nicholas develop quickly, you guys You can’t be idle either, you need to actively persuade local banks to open online banking!!!”

"Yes!" Gilly Hurt and the others nodded in response.

At present, Williams Bank has established more than 3,000 branches and more than 100,000 ATMs in the United States, covering a wide range, becoming the bank with the strongest development potential in the United States! ! ! However, there is no branch abroad. Compared with banks such as Citi and Morgan, it is really far behind...

"Looks like Williams Bank has to step up..." Henry murmured.

Still, as long as PayPal wins the U.S. market, is the global market far behind?

On January 1, 1991, in addition to the agent conference held by Hongnian Technology, PayPal was also officially launched!

In order to attract people to sign up for a PayPal account, Henry also worked hard...

Sign up for a PayPal account and get a $20 Nicholas voucher, and introduce a friend to sign up for a PayPal account and get a $10 Nicholas voucher! The first 100,000 registered users will receive a $100 Nicholas shopping coupon! ! ! The first one million registered users will get a lottery number. The lottery draw will be held on April 2, and the winner will receive a huge prize of one million US dollars! ! !

As soon as the news spread, America went crazy! ! !

"This is a game that only local tyrants can play!!!" Time Magazine commented.

"Los Angeles Times": "Nicholas strikes hard, PayPal wants to get involved in online finance!!!"

WSJ: "Nicholas.com shares jump $20, top Nasdaq gain of the day!!!"

BBC reporter: "Today, because of PayPal, there was a queue of dozens of meters outside Williams Bank, causing traffic jams!!! According to our interview, they all went to open online banking!!! To register a PayPal account, you need to open it. Online banking, at present, only Williams Bank has opened online banking in the United States and even in the world. We can foresee that the number of Williams Bank users will increase greatly because of PayPal!!!"

Citibank, the depositor scolded: "What a ghost bank, not even online banking, I want to withdraw money and deposit it in Williams Bank!!!"

ICQ friend A: "Are you there? I'll introduce you to a good thing, you can get a $20 Nicholas shopping coupon when you sign up..."

"Are you referring a friend and you can get a $10 Nicholas voucher?"

"Oh, you actually know?"

"Just kidding, I've introduced 100 of my friends to sign up for PayPal!!!!"

"Fuck, you are awesome!!!"

In just one week, the number of PayPal registrations made Henry stunned, and it has exceeded 100,000! ! !

Henry couldn't help feeling that money was more attractive...

A month later, PayPal has exceeded 500,000 users!

During this period, Henry asked PayPal to cooperate with some companies under his name, and first opened the function of recharging music coins for Tiantian Music Company.

So, in the main interface of PayPal, there is an option of "Music every day"!

After this function appeared, many media complained, this function is completely useless, because users will not spend money to listen to music! ! !

Hearing these words, Henry just smiled.

Immediately after, Cisco MCI cooperated with PayPal, so there is a "call credit recharge" option in the main interface of PayPal!

The launch of this feature is very popular, and the stock prices of Cisco and Nicholas Shopping Network have risen a lot!

During this time, the busiest company was Nicholas Express. Because Nicholas Shopping.com gave out a lot of shopping coupons, everyone went shopping, which made the express business super busy! And this month, Nicholas.com's sales hit a new record, reaching $1 billion! ! !

This data shocked the industry, and a Walmart spokesman said: "Nicholas Shopping Network may be our most powerful rival to Walmart!!!!"

This time, Henry spent his money in place and played a very big role. It can be said that he won a big victory. Not only have PayPal users soared, but so have Williams Bank depositors and Nicholas shoppers! ! !

Especially Williams Bank, there are countless people who have come to open online banking, and they have dug into countless corners. As a result, banks such as Citi and Morgan formed an anti-Williams banking alliance and also opened online banking, but they did not support PayPal recharge, and It is to support other e-commerce websites in the United States and pay directly by credit card! ! !

Credit cards are indeed convenient to use in the United States, but if you want to pay internationally, it will not work! In addition, there are many banks in the United States. If the user is only a depositor of a small bank, how many banks should be listed on the e-commerce website? If the user cannot find the small bank where he opened an account, should he still spend with you?

So, PayPal is still easier to use than credit cards! ! ! !

Banks transfer money to PayPal, and then use PayPal to pay, so convenient, users don't have to worry about the problem of not being able to pay...

In the face of Citi and Morgan Bank's counterattack, Henry responded unceremoniously.

It didn't take long for a post on Isearch to go viral: "Credit card account stolen, loss of millions of dollars!!!"

The text reads: "I did not open PayPal, but directly used Citibank's credit card to shop! As a result, my credit card account number and password were leaked, and all the money in it was stolen and lost a million dollars!!! Previously, PayPal When it was just released, I solemnly reminded that there are Trojan viruses and phishing websites on the Internet, and you must use the PayPal security component that comes with PayPal to shop safely and securely. However, I am not a PayPal user and do not have a PayPal security component, so I am in When using a credit card, the account password was stolen and more than one million was lost!!!”

There are more than 1,000 people replying below.

"Fuck, it's dangerous, fortunately I use PayPal..."

"The landlord is really stupid, he deserves it, how good is it to use PayPal, just give PayPal some money to use for daily shopping, so that even if PayPal is stolen, you will not lose too much. If your bank card or credit card is stolen, Hehe, just wait and cry!!!!"

(A new week has started, I can’t do it without a ticket, please support! Today I used the Xiaoheiwu software to write, and the number of words is locked to 3000. As a result, I was not allowed to come out before I finished writing 3,000 words. Now I finally get out of trouble, woohoo!!!)
