Chapter 135 MarsPay Launch Day

"Are you ready?"

"Of course I'm prepared—"

"So dirty, so dirty, so dirty—"

A violent tremor interrupted Li Haorong's conversation.

This is the eighth floor of the DaNeng Building, the finance department of Mars Technology.

Because the renovations on the sixth and eighth floors won't be completed until January, but Mars Payment needs to go live by December 31st, the finance department really can't wait for the entire floor to be renovated before moving in.

Therefore, Li Haorong had to have the decoration company renovate the finance department's offices first, and then renovate the other departments.

As a result, the finance department had to complete the launch of MarsPay amidst the sounds of renovations.

Creating a MarsPay website itself isn't difficult, and the technology is readily available, but the settlement with banks and credit card companies is very complicated.

In addition, this is an online payment after all, and it involves money, so Li Haorong cannot afford to be careless!

Therefore, Li Haorong had the finance department and the technology department work together to conduct repeated experiments, and then repeatedly test them within the company. Only after fully meeting Li Haorong's requirements was it allowed to go live.

"President, don't worry! Our entire department is fully prepared for this day!"

Zhao Lunshuang, who is in charge of the finance department, graduated from Seoul National University and then went to the United States to obtain a doctoral degree from Harvard. He is an even more academically gifted person than Li Haorong.

This senior of Li Haorong was recommended by one of his teachers at university.

It's safe to say that Lee Ho-young's time at Seoul National University was incredibly worthwhile; the university can help you find talent in any field you're looking for!

While in the United States, Zhao Lunshuang had studied online payment. After returning to China, he and Li Haorong hit it off immediately in a conversation about the future development of online payment.

After passing the interview, Zhao Lunshuang became Li Haorong's Minister of Finance.

"Then let's go ahead with the launch at 12 noon!"

With the technical department completing the final tests, Mars Payment was officially launched under Li Haorong's order.

Almost instantly after it went live, a large number of users accessed the site and completed their payments.

The reason is simple: Mars has been promoting this payment function for a long time, claiming that the first purchase made with Mars Pay will receive a 20% discount in Mars Coins!

As MarsNet becomes more sophisticated, there are more and more places where MarsCoins are needed, but the opportunities to get MarsCoins for free are becoming fewer and fewer.

Therefore, a large number of MarsNet users are eagerly waiting to take advantage of opportunities like this where they can obtain Mars Coins at a low price!

After all, in their eyes, this thing is money!

Even if I buy these Mars coins at an 80% discount and sell them at a 90% discount, I can still make a profit!

Even if I don't make money, what's wrong with me getting a Mars membership for my beloved girl and buying her a cool Mars outfit?

If you don't have a girlfriend, then just subscribe to the "dating matching" service and find one online. What's wrong with that?

If all else fails, you can become a pay-to-win player in the game. Besides attracting envious glances from others, you can also find girls. What's wrong with that?

In short, as long as you buy Mars Coins, you'll always have a chance to spend the money!

Seeing the steadily increasing transaction volume, Li Haorong and Zhao Lunshuang should have been in a good mood.

However, after only half an hour, as more and more people made payments and the limit for the number of people was approaching the critical point, the two of them began to panic. Could the payment platform handle this?

"How is it? How is it?"

"Hey, don't touch me!"

"You're too slow, shall I help you?"

"Dream on! I bet you're just trying to use my credit card."

Upon hearing his sister Park Jiyeon's words, Park Hyo-joon immediately gave her a knowing smile and awkwardly said, "How could that be? How could an older brother possibly use my sister's credit card?"

"Hmph, I wouldn't believe you!"

Park Jiyeon glared fiercely at her brother, because in her heart, her brother's credit rating was negative!

Seeing his sister link her own credit card, Park Hyo-joon looked on with envy.

Since MarsPay currently only supports credit cards, high school students like Park Hyo-joon have no way to use it.

With the maturation of credit card verification systems this year, it has become increasingly difficult for minors to obtain credit cards.

Park Jiyeon may be younger than Park Hyo-joon, but she has an income!

Since Park Jiyeon started acting, although she hasn't played any major roles, she's consistently had small parts.

Li Haorong personally contacted Venus Entertainment; how could they possibly be neglected?

Just recently, she made a cameo appearance in "Hello Miss," starring Lee Da-hae. Although her screen time was limited, she worked with many big-name stars.

Therefore, she had income almost every month, and with Park Jung-hyuk's help, she actually managed to get a credit card.

"Okay, how much do I want to buy?"

Having finally linked her account, Park Jiyeon was once again caught in a dilemma as she looked at the number of Mars Coins she had purchased displayed on the screen.

"What are you waiting for? Buy 50 first!"

"Are you kidding me?"

Park Ji-yeon mostly plays guest roles, and her salary is not high, only a few hundred thousand won per month, which is equivalent to her pocket money.

If her parents found out that she spent several months' allowance on so many Martian coins, they'd probably break her legs.

"Then it'll be 40, no less, and you still have to give me some money!"

Park Hyo-joon reminded him from the side.

"It's not for you, it's for sale!"

Park Jiyeon reminded her.

"Okay, I know, then hurry up and buy it!"

"What are you afraid of? The Martian coins are right there, they can't possibly run away!"

After saying that, Park Jiyeon typed 20 into the computer and then clicked the confirm button.

After all, she had doubts about her brother's financial situation and decided to be more conservative!

A dialog box immediately pops up on your computer, with the option to select your linked bank card at the top and the password you need to enter below.

"Turn your head around!"

Before entering the password, Park Jiyeon said to Park Hyo-joon.

"Fine, I'll share it!"

After saying that, Park Hyo-joon turned around, but as Park Ji-yeon began to enter her password, he secretly took out a small mirror from his pocket and quietly looked at her password.

Unfortunately, just as he adjusted the small mirror, Park Jiyeon's face suddenly slammed against it, startling Park Hyo-joon so much that he almost threw the mirror away!

"Put the mirror down!"

Park Hyo-joon threw the mirror on the bed, muttering to himself, "With your camera presence, what kind of actor are you? Wouldn't it be better to be an idol?"

"Mind your own business! I love being an actor, I don't want to be an idol!"

Park Jiyeon made a harsh statement, then covered her mouth with one hand and typed in the password with the other.

However, when she pressed the confirm button, the payment screen suddenly started spinning.

"Have you finished entering the password?"

"Oh no, but it seems to have stopped moving!"

Park Hyo-joon quickly turned his head and saw the scene as well, and couldn't help but say, "It seems to be stuck!"

"Huh? What should we do then?"

"Let's wait a little longer, it should be ready in a bit!"

As soon as Park Hyo-joon finished speaking, MarsNet suddenly crashed and shut down.

Upon witnessing this, the two exclaimed in unison, utterly shocked, "Ah, my Martian coins!"

"Oh, my money!"
