Chapter 386

In mid March, the waves of Huizhong's acquisition of Gaode map just became quiet, and the restless wechat began to make a noise again.

On March 15, on the same day as the national annual consumer rights day, wechat Chinese version was updated again!

A few months ago, wechat was also a so-called small update. It launched the red envelope function, which turned the Spring Festival of the people all over the country upside down. This time, the small update function launched by wechat has also brought a sensation and impact!

Wechat wallet has added collection and payment function, including two QR codes with collection and payment function, one is green payment QR code and the other is yellow collection QR code!

Among them, the green payment QR code can only be paid to businesses that support QR code collection function, while the Yellow QR code is not limited to use. No matter individuals, vendors or businesses without green QR code scanning equipment, they can use the second QR code to achieve the purpose of collection!

Wechat suddenly launched this QR code with collection and payment function, which immediately set off a hot discussion among wechat users and netizens all over the country!

"The baby said he didn't understand. What payment QR code and collection QR code made the baby dizzy. Isn't the QR code of wechat only the function of adding friends and inviting groups?"

"There's nothing I can't understand. Isn't it scanning the QR code to realize the collection and payment function? Only the merchant can scan the payment QR code. You pay the merchant, anyone can scan the collection QR code, and others pay you!"

"I admire the powerful logic upstairs!"

"Wow, wipe, does this mean that I can grab the money saved in the red envelope in my wechat wallet, scan the code and transfer it to my friend for him to take it out for me?"

"You're not stupid upstairs. Won't you send red envelopes to your friends?"

"You're really stupid upstairs. If I can send a red envelope by binding my bank card, I'll ask my friends to withdraw money for me?"

"In other words, the function launched by wechat this time has an egg and feels like a chicken rib. Is it to facilitate everyone to go out and forget to bring money?"

Netizens have talked about the QR code function of collection and payment launched by wechat this time, but at the same time, both Internet peers and many netizens feel that the new function launched by wechat this time is a bit chicken ribs, unlike the previous functions such as voice and red envelope!

Even Zhou Bin, the head of wechat business department, felt a little confused when he received Fang Zhe's request to develop a QR code to support the collection and payment function.

In social activities, cash, bank cards and credit cards are enough for collection and payment. Why do they have to go back to wechat? After all, it involves payment transaction data. Although there are payment channels dedicated to third-party payment for payment support, the business module belongs to wechat after all. Users encounter various problems when using the collection and payment QR code, It must be handled by their wechat team at the expense of human, material and financial resources.

Therefore, Zhou Bin and the management of wechat business department are honored to invite Fang Zhe, the big boss, to personally hold a seminar for them on adding the function of collection and payment QR code to wechat wallet.

At the meeting, although Fang zhe did not disclose his huge plan to lay out o2o and offline mobile payment, Fang zhe still explained the problems existing in the use of cash, bank cards and credit cards in social activities to the senior executives of wechat business department while guiding them.

Cash is dirty, may be damaged, may receive fake money, inconvenient change, may forget to bring money or enough money, bank cards and credit cards are easy to be lost, stolen, swiped, etc.

Under the guidance of Fang Zhe, the executives of wechat business department talked about many problems existing in various payment methods in society. Although these problems are scattered and occur at low frequency, almost everyone has encountered them at least once or twice!

For this low frequency once or twice, this function is required to be added to wechat to make the best use of everything in every function and line of code. Is it worth it?

The answer is obviously worth it!

Fang zhe let executives imagine that in a few years, more than a decade later, most wechat users in China and even around the world use wechat's collection and payment function to complete many cash transactions in their daily life, so what does this mean?

Fang zhe said this and closed his mouth. However, the wechat executives present here have a cool breath on their backs!

If wechat users all over the world use wechat payment for various transactions in their daily life in the future, it means that this person's consumption data, consumption ability, finance and living conditions are almost completely controlled by wechat!

This, this is terrible!

Even if it is as powerful as a national machine, it is impossible to master the daily trading behavior of an ordinary person, let alone all the trading behavior of the whole society.

If wechat, as a social software, is close to users and almost represents the user's network and life circle, the personal privacy of wechat users in the future will be almost completely exposed to wechat officials!

"Do we really want to do this? Will the state allow it? Will governments allow it? This is likely to lead to the destruction of wechat!" a senior executive said at the meeting with some fear and worry.

In fact, his ideas represent the ideas of a considerable number of executives attending the meeting. For this issue, Fang Zhe, the big boss, just smiled with ease and said:

"What do you think life will look like in the next 20, 200, or 2000 years? Will all one's life and privacy data be completely controlled by a company or government?"

Executives, you see me, I see you, and finally all nodded at the same time. Whether it's science fiction films or the future most people imagine, in a highly intelligent civilized social system, data is a treasure. Individuals want to better live in society and enjoy all kinds of convenience in society, We must constantly disclose all kinds of life and privacy data.

For example, in ancient times, a person's life can be recorded by the imperial court as a black family from birth to death, but in modern times, all his life behaviors and life from birth to registration in the household register, to vaccination, school, work, marriage and so on until his final death, Are increasingly being transformed into data recorded in the social system.

This is not only the process of the development and evolution of social system and civilization, but also the inevitable result!

"So, although your imagination is far away, it will happen! What do you think about whether our country and governments will allow it?" in Fang Zhe's relaxed and humorous smile, wechat executives feel that the development of wechat has reached a frightening and chilling stage in one aspect!

This shudder stems from everyone's fear of the future and from everyone's fear of becoming more and more private and unreserved.

In fact, as president Fang said, this is the future. Instead of letting the future be in the hands of others, let the future be in our own hands!
