Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 390 Mobile Payment
what?
If he hadn't come to this world of Beijing and needed to deal with paper money, he wouldn't have touched paper money much for several years.
Even the newly issued banknotes are becoming unfamiliar to many people?
This is really strange.

But if you think about it carefully, you'll find...
It really is!
Take the clothes that Ximen Lang changes every day, for example. They range from snacks to lighters, from cigarettes to various electronic devices. Almost nothing is the same. Every time Bai Ling does the laundry, she can find something different in his pockets.

But Bai Ling never found even a single coin in his pocket.

Originally, Bai Ling thought
"It's not easy. My child has finally grown up, become more shrewd, and knows to be careful of himself."

But now.
"So that's not what happened at all!"

It turns out it wasn't that he became more cunning; it's just that he's barely touched money in all these years!
The video I'd recently come across, with its strong B-style vibe and incredibly addictive quality, involuntarily flashed through my mind.
"I have never touched money, and I have no interest in money."

Bai Ling couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Never handled money before? Then how exactly do you get paid over there?"

Seeing that Bai Ling didn't even know or understand this, he realized that Bai Ling was completely unaware of it.

Ximen Lang replied without hesitation.

"Is that even a question? Of course, it'll be deposited directly into your account!"

And it wasn't until he finished speaking that Ximen Lang finally realized something was wrong.

Of course, it's not something as trivial as letting something slip.

In fact, as his relationship with Bai Ling grew warmer, especially after he even bought her a cell phone, Ximen Lang, who was already carefree and had now completely given up on life, became increasingly indifferent to minor issues such as whether his secrets would be exposed.

Bai Ling, who had never used mobile payment before and didn't understand what it was, had no idea what she meant by saying that.

Sure enough, after she blurted out those words, Bai Ling looked completely puzzled.

While finding out the financial information of his shell company, especially the specific details of salary payments, Ximen Lang explained.

"Take my shell company, which is often misunderstood as a company that might run away at any time, for example. Before these employees even joined the company, they had already left their bank card information with the finance department."

"When it's time to pay salaries, the finance department can simply transfer the money directly to the employees via bank transfer. This is efficient, convenient, and cost-effective, while also preventing situations such as unauthorized or incorrect salary payments."

"For the company, it's convenient and reassuring. Employees can also check their salary deposit information on their mobile phones at any time, which is very convenient. Compared to the traditional face-to-face distribution of paper money, the advantages are simply too great."

"So nowadays, we basically pay salaries via bank transfer, with the salary going directly into the employee's bank card. It's very rare to find places that still use the traditional method of issuing paper money."

As we were talking, after enduring it for the entire journey, I finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Hao Pingchuan, who was completely bewildered by the string of dizzying numbers, couldn't help but break down, succumbing to the allure of the exceptionally high welfare benefits offered there.

"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions! So many?! No, are the salaries that high where you are?! Especially Xia Yiyi, she actually earns a million a month! That's too outrageous!"

"Even if we convert it to our currency, we'd have to subtract at least two zeros, but that's still ten thousand yuan! Ten thousand yuan! Bai Ling and I work hard for a whole month and we only make a hundred or so yuan. Why should she get ten thousand yuan?!"

Seeing that Hao Pingchuan was even jealous, he first said something...
"If you had her influence and could get so many things done for me, I wouldn't hesitate to pay even ten million, let alone a mere million!"

This immediately stunned Hao Pingchuan, who was easily surprised and had never seen much of the world.

Continuing on from where we left off, Ximen Lang said.

"And you can't just look at how much someone took; you also have to look at how much they actually did!"

"Let's not talk about anything else. Just take the experimental centrifuge we just got recently, which has a rotation speed of at least 5 revolutions per minute. Where did it come from? If it weren't for Yi-yi's great efforts in this matter, would we have been able to get it so smoothly?"

"Based on this alone, based on Yi-yi's incredibly powerful and unparalleled connections, a million a month is really not much!"

Not to mention, his good employee was not only very capable during the day, but also at night.
"Right? Anyway, I think it's such a great deal, it's unbelievably cheap!"

Although Ximen Lang didn't explicitly state exactly how he was capable that night...
But who is Bai Ling?
Just from Ximen Lang's behavior and expression, she could already completely guess what was going on in his mind.

Therefore, she couldn't be bothered to argue with Ximen Lang about this issue. She simply pursed her lips and casually made a statement of affirmation, expressing her agreement with Ximen Lang's words.

Then, Bai Ling continued, addressing the question that concerned her most.

"But surely you can't even recognize money? Don't you guys spend any money?"

"How is that possible? Eating, drinking, defecating, sleeping, walking, standing, sitting, lying down—everything costs money, and nothing can be done without money!"

"The main thing is that the payment methods have changed in our area. For any expenses, you can simply scan the merchant's payment QR code with your phone, and it will all be taken care of."

"It's much more convenient than having to constantly count on your fingers, press buttons on a calculator, and then give and take out money."

As he spoke, in order to let Bai Ling experience the convenience of mobile payment more directly.

Simon Lang directly linked a bank card with a balance of only a few hundred million yuan to Bai Ling's mobile phone.

Once the QR code appears, you scan it with your phone.
"Look, it only took a few seconds, and ten thousand yuan was transferred directly. Isn't that more convenient than having to pay out of pocket and then waiting for the merchant to give you change?"

"In some places it's even more outrageous; you don't even need to scan a QR code, just a face scan, and you're done. It's so convenient, who would bother carrying money in their pocket? What if it gets stolen?"

"That's why I say I haven't touched money much for many years, and this is not to show off! And it's not just me, many people in my area are like this."

"If it weren't for the inconvenience of transferring money when making social obligations, I would never have even seen it, let alone handled it!" (It's such a hassle to exchange money with people every time.)
Their lifestyle, resembling something out of a science fiction novel, left Bai Ling and Hao Pingchuan momentarily speechless.

We can only silently accept the fact that paper money will indeed be less common in the future.

He remained silent and followed Ximen Lang to his assigned queue.
