Three days, another three days.

It's the ninth day since QR code payment began.

On the map of power distribution, you can clearly see the red, representing Lu Group, blooming everywhere!

While the blue, representing Black Rose, is barely hanging on with the help of cash-back rebates!

Sure, people haven't uninstalled Joint Pay; they might even continue using the cumbersome Joint Pay for the rebates!

But no matter how much cash-back you offer, you can't possibly give me hundreds or thousands every day, right?

After all, at that level, it's no longer marketing; it's foolish!

So, once they find out there are no rebates today, or if they're too little, these people will quickly switch back to Alipay for convenience!

Even more terrifyingly, something else happened.

That is, Alipay has started invading the small merchants and vendors' industry!

In other words, those savvy small merchants and vendors, like those selling buns and breakfast wraps, have also begun using QR code payments!

Previously, they didn't use it because a large number of these workers are middle-aged uncles and aunties who aren't very adept with online payment systems!

But things are different now!

Tossing a QR code out there doesn't require any operation!

Simple, quick, convenient!

Why not use it?!

This scene made Black Rose gnash her teeth even more.

"Go! Get him here! Tell me why it isn't fixed yet?!"

Black Rose shouted at her secretary.

The suffocating feeling inside her was becoming more and more intense!

Lu Xiaobu's move was too ruthless, too powerful!

Their previous contention was always with medium and large retailers, as they are easier to promote and manage!

However, with one stroke of the QR code, Lu Xiaobu not only reclaimed the battlefield of medium and large retailers but also opened up a new battlefront!

The key is that all of this was achieved without much cost, mainly relying on word-of-mouth!

"Damn! I should have pulled those few nails out back then!"

Black Rose regretted it.

Her intestines were green with regret!

Back then, although she had paid a lot of attention to those few nails, it wasn't enough!

As a result, they weren't cleared out in the first instance!

After all, if they had been cleared out back then, even if Lu Xiaobu attacked, he could have been delayed because the battlefield would have been a solid front!

As things stand, those few nails have become a thorn in her side, slicing her territory into unconnected fragments!

The CEO rushed in, drenched in sweat. Before Black Rose could scold him, he spoke first: "It's done, it's done, it can go live this afternoon!"

"Very good!"

A weight lifted from Black Rose's heart; it was finally done!

Though the situation is dire now, it's merely a matter of throwing money at it!

After all, there's still plenty of funds left!

Lu Xiaobu, I haven't lost yet!

"Go ahead! Increase the investment; get my territory back!"

Black Rose instructed the CEO!

"Okay, okay!"

The CEO wiped the sweat off his brow and left the room.

He headed straight to the development department: "Hurry, hurry, get ready to go live!"

The people in the development department had significantly dwindled!

I'm sure you've all guessed it, yes, those people were fired by him.

For the past three days, he has been using high-pressure tactics to force these people to work, barely completing the task.

Why do I say barely, you all know!

...

The time moved to the afternoon.

The QR code of Joint Pay was also launched.

The action of launching was almost identical to when Alipay was launched, so no need to elaborate.

The only difference was that Black Rose directly threw in a rebate of ten billion dollars!

Such deep pockets, determined to crush Alipay with money!

And indeed, it had an effect.

After all, money makes the world go round!

In just one week, the situation returned to a stalemate, temporarily halting Alipay's previous aggressive offensive.

However, something no one expected happened!

Lu Group.

"Damn, they move quite fast!"

"Yeah, if it had been three more days, we could have basically declared victory!"

"What a pity, what a pity!"

"Really!"

"..."

The group sighed one by one.

Although they knew Joint Pay would launch a QR code just the same, they didn't expect it to be so quick.

And then at that moment.

"Huh?" One guy touched his chin, expressing deep confusion.

"Zhang Lei, what's up?" The manager walked over with a cup of coffee and asked.

"Why do their QR code and ours look so similar?" Zhang Lei frowned as he stared at two QR codes on the computer.

"Nonsense! Aren't they all the same?!"

The manager was also speechless: "Are you out of your mind?"

"No, no, no, manager, that's not what I mean, but..." Zhang Lei waved his hand, trying to explain, but struggled to find the words.

He then thought for a moment and said: "How about this, manager, I'll show you."

He opened the computer and did some operations: "This is our current scanning system, just need to change this here, and then this, it should be right."

After getting it done, he scanned Joint Pay's QR code.

"Beep!"

Surprisingly, the scan was successful!

"What the hell?!"

The manager was so startled that he dropped his coffee: "What the hell is going on?!"

All surrounding employees gathered around.

"What?! We can actually scan the other side's QR code?!"

"No way! The other side's so low-tier!"

"No, really?! How did you discover that?!"

"..."

Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

"I don't know either, maybe just from seeing too much, anyway, it felt like that," Zhang Lei chuckled bitterly.

To ensure the QR code isn't picked up by other scanning systems, there's actually an encryption program inside.

And this was precisely his task.

Maybe he had done so much of it that he developed some mystical intuition.

Anyway, just now he had a sudden flash of inspiration and felt they looked very similar, and it turned out to be true.

"Come on, you're a genius or what! You crack the other side's QR code with the naked eye?!"

"God of programmers, please accept my worship!"

"Quick, quick, buy incense, put it up immediately!"

"The first ever in history to decipher QR code by its appearance!"

"6666! Here's my year's worth of kneeling, please take it!"

"Come on, genius! I really want to crack something, can you help me take a look?"

"..."

Zhang Lei was helplessly amused.

How could they even dare to say they read the face of a QR code?

"Zhang Lei, that's not right, why can we only bring up the interface but can't operate it?" The manager asked while looking at the system interface they scanned.

"It should be a secondary encryption." Zhang Lei thought about it.

"Can you keep cracking it?" The manager asked: "I think this thing could be useful for Young Master Bu."

"Not a big problem, their QR code program is likely based on our framework, so many things are interconnected," Zhang Lei thought and said: "I'll give it a try!"
