I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

It was early July, and it had been two weeks since the red envelope battle ended.

Jiang Hao was in the office, carefully looking at the email report information on the computer.

Starting from when Haijing Payment started burning money in Jiangnan Province, this red envelope war burned a total of 26 billion yuan.

The number of registered users eventually exceeded 2 million, and the number of card-bound users eventually reached 1.7 million.

The money was spent quite successfully, but today, two weeks later, with red envelopes becoming increasingly useless, there are only 4500 million core users still using Haijing Payment, and it has approached a stable stage.

Among them, 700 million core users come from Jiangnan Province, which is Haijing’s base camp after all.

Various businesses in the province also strongly promote and support Haijing Technology.

The remaining 2800 million are the real users of this investment.

The actual promotion cost for each core user reached nearly 60 yuan.

In terms of the overall payment market, Alipay currently still occupies the first place with a market share of 45.9%, which is 10 percentage points lower than before.

WeChat Pay still has 26%, which has also dropped by 10 percentage points.

Haijing Payment’s market share of 22% is barely in line with expectations.

Jiang Hao's initial target was 20%. Of course, the expected amount of funds to be burned was around 10 billion, and no more than 15 billion at most.

Now the final amount of money burned has doubled, but fortunately the number of users can meet expectations.

The only happiest bank is Songjiang Bank. Since the red envelope battle began, Secretary Lu has called every day to express his condolences.

Especially when more and more money is spent later, people become more enthusiastic.

After all, it is not the bank's money that is being burned, and the more money Haijing Payment burns, the more users their bank services will have.

In the end, Secretary Lu even wanted to lend him a low-interest or even interest-free loan to help Haijing continue to burn money. This can be said to be a good calculation.

……

"Mr. Jiang, classmate Ling has arrived."

...

"Let him in."

As soon as Xu Qingqing left, Ling Jianyun sat down obediently in front of him.

He looked around the office curiously, including the jade Pixiu given to him by Lu Weiming on his desk.

Although this is not the first time I have come here, I have not been here very often.

Coupled with his respect for Jiang Hao and his yearning for Haijing Technology, it is not surprising that he behaved like this.

"I have approved your graduation thesis. You will submit it for blind review in September."

"If everything goes well, I should be able to graduate by the end of October."

"I came to you this time just to ask you again, how is your graduation going?"

"Do you have any new ideas, or do you want to stick to Haijing?"

Of the two students, Jin Hao is determined to pursue a doctorate, and his doctoral supervisor has already recommended him.

As for Ling Jianyun, it was different. He was unwilling to inherit the family business and had long wanted to work with Jiang Hao in the future. Before graduation, he also intended to come to Haijing Technology.

"Teacher, I just want to come to Haijing!"

...

"Have you made up your mind?"

"A company is not a school, and the workplace is not as good as you think."

"Don't come here and leave before you even complete your internship period!"

"If you want to pursue a Ph.D. or other ideas again, I won't help you anymore."

These words were more of an advice to the other party to be cautious. In reality, Jiang Hao would certainly not stand idly by.

After all, they are the first batch of master's students that I have actually taught. I dare not say how much success they have achieved, but I still have basic guarantees.

Otherwise, if the students don't develop well, he will be the one who loses.

"Teacher! Don't worry!"

"I used to help out at my dad's company, so I know what the situation is!"

...

"Which department are you planning to send me to? Is it Senior Wang's first career line?"

Ling Jianyun inquired with curiosity, and it seemed that he was fully prepared.

This look made Jiang Hao laugh.

"You are quite proactive! You even visited Wang Yongxiang?"

"What? You want to follow your senior and make a name for yourself in the First Division?"

I didn't expect that my student actually knew everything about each business unit.

Jiang Hao no longer had any intention of persuading others to think it over carefully.

"Hehe~! Teacher, I just joined the company, how can I mean that."

"I just thought that Senior Wang is more familiar with the group, so it would be easier to work in a development position in his group!"

...

"That's a good idea, but are you sure you want to do development?"

"You are studying big data, and it was taught by Senior Gao Wei himself. Why don't you prepare for the big data group?"

Jiang Hao originally thought that he would want to join Gao Wei's big data group, but he didn't expect that the person he contacted was Wang Yongxiang.

"Teacher... Big data is too difficult! I really don't have the talent for it."

"Senior Brother Gao is really not an ordinary person. I'd better not join in the fun."

After going around in circles, Jiang Hao didn't expect that Ling Jianyun was not willing to pursue this field after completing his studies.

He had anticipated and planned for this.

"Okay! I understand what you mean. I won't let you go to the big data team."

"But don't even think about your senior Wang."

"I have a special job for you, or I have two projects here, you can choose one."

...

"Ah? A company project? Or a laboratory research project?"

...

"Of course it's a company project. You've already graduated, so why would I arrange a project for you to experiment with?"

...

"This... Teacher, you're giving me a project to work on right away? Don't you want me to study for a while?"

Gao Wei really didn't think about taking over the company's projects right away, according to his communication with some seniors from Songshi University.

At Haijing Technology, anyone who is responsible for a separate project is at least at the manager level.

He hasn't officially started working yet, and he couldn't help but be reserved when being treated so caringly.

"I originally planned to let you stay for two years, but now I need you."

"It just so happens that you have graduated, so I'll give you some experience."

"If the project can be completed, you will be responsible for the maintenance and operation of this business in the future."

"If you can't do it, then go to your senior Wang's place and stay for a few years."

After Jiang Hao finished speaking, Ling Jianyun's eyes lit up. Knowing that such an opportunity was hard to come by, he immediately spoke impatiently.

"So what exactly is the project, teacher?"

...

“Easy ones, such as map projects or Didi Taxi-hailing projects.”

"You don't need to be very innovative. As long as you can develop these two projects well and make the general functional services smooth and really usable, that's fine."

Jiang Hao was not originally planning to invest in these two projects.

After all, they are all mature business formats, and entering them is purely a thankless task.

But after this red envelope war, Jiang Hao found that he had to invest in many of his projects.

Didi Taxi is stuck between the two companies, and as for taxi-hailing, even red envelopes cannot be sent out.

As for the map project, it is also an important strategic project.

The positioning service of the Haijing platform itself, as well as the offline use of merchant red envelopes, all use the services of Amap or Tencent Maps.

Now that the group has grown, we don’t expect these core businesses to be very successful, but we still have to have our own talents.
