<h4>Chapter 1778: Chapter 1608: Cashless Society (Please Subscribe!)</h4>


    Laypeople watch the spectacle.


    Experts,


    see a new way of life. If transfers to third parties can be made quickly, then its applications are vast, virtually without boundaries. Many pray, hoping they are wrong.


    However.


    Reality is harsh.


    Tang Qing spoke at this moment.


    "Actually, the term ’cashless society’ appeared years ago, but due to technology and other reasons, it has note to fruition, or has not reached a certain scale."


    "After all, School meal cards can be considered a form of ’cashless consumption’, but aside from meal cards, there hasn’t been a medium widely used across society for quick transaction processing."


    "Some say there’s a bank card, but in small Restaurants, everyday consumption, etc., most of the time, they don’t support card swiping. Now it’s different, that medium has emerged—it’s the Mobile phone."


    Speaking.


    Next to Tang Qing suddenly appeared an ’Epoch’.


    Log into WeChat.


    The interface hasn’t changed much.


    However.


    When Tang Qing’s hand tapped the upper right corner, there was a new ’Scan’ option among the pop-up choices. Clicking into it, the camera view appeared, but with a box in the middle.


    A light green line.


    Moving up and down.


    "Scan?"


    "It should be scanning something for identification."


    "What could it be?"


    "How would I know."


    "I want to see how cashless it can be. I think all Merchants have POS machines, and with bank cards you can enter a cashless society, though this idea is a bit far-fetched."


    "You have quite an imagination."


    "..."


    While discussing,


    Tang Qing continued, "This is the functionality to be updated at midnight, using the camera to scan a dedicated QR code, for instance, eating at a small Restaurant."


    At this moment.


    The scene changed.


    Tang Qing vanished.


    The stage instantly transformed into a Restaurant—notrge, just a few Tables, crowded with people. A customer just finished eating, lightly patting their belly, looking satisfied.


    Then,


    Pulled out a Mobile phone, of course, it’s still the Epoch.


    Opened WeChat.


    Scan.


    Aimed at the ck-and-white code on the right wall, a beep sounded, and the screen rolled back to a number input interface. The person tapped the number ’six’ and pressed the confirm button.


    Just like sending red envelopes.


    Input the payment password.


    Ding Dong.


    Shows payment sessful.


    Simultaneously.


    A device at the front desk loudly sounded.


    "WeChat received, six yuan."


    "Boss, paid," said the customer.


    "Good, thank you."


    With that,


    Stood up and left.


    Did not even visit the front desk.


    At this moment.


    Others seemingly finished as well, all taking out their phones to scan.


    "WeChat received, eight yuan."


    "WeChat received, ten yuan."


    "..."


    "Alipay received, five yuan."


    "???",


    Hearing the name Alipay, many were surprised, followed by instant realization; it’s not just WeChat that could be used, Alipay can too. Evidently, bothpanies are now cooperating.


    However,


    They paid no mind to such details.


    All were left with one thought.


    --- so quick.


    Fast indeed.


    The entire process took no more than five or six seconds, without the need to add friends, transfers could be made directly.


    Yet,


    The footage wasn’t over. The next moment, the scene shifted to a street stall, simrly, the stall owner was busy, hands couldn’t stop, each customer directly scanned the ck-and-white code on the stall.


    Payment sessful.


    The third scene.


    Became passive; this was arge Restaurant. After dining, the customer went to the front desk, totaling one hundred sixty yuan. This time, the customer didn’t open ’Scan’, but ’Payment’.


    The phone screen became a ck-and-white code.


    No.


    There was also a barcode.


    Next,


    The cashier entered a number on the POS machine, pointed the scanning gun at the phone, a beep appeared, transactionpleted; the entire payment process for the customer took just a second.


    Seeing this.


    Netizens finally understood the significance of today’s Press Conference.


    Excited.


    Amazed.


    "So impressive."


    "Fast, especially thetter, paymentpleted in just a second."


    "Exactly."


    "I thought only active payment was possible, but there’s passive payment too. If nationwide Shops, Supermarkets, Vegetable Markets, street stalls can all be like this, cashless society will truly arrive."


    "Certainly it will."


    "Very convenient."


    "Wonder if bus and Metro fares can be swiped, so no need to carry loose change."


    "Technically it shouldn’t be difficult."


    "Just need to add Inte functionality, tweak the system, and the ticket machine can identify it."


    "..."


    While heatedly discussing,


    The scene hadn’t yet concluded; the footage shifted, showing the just-mentioned Metro and Bus. Here, ticket machines have been upgraded to support QR code payments, bidding farewell to loose change.


    Netizens were quite excited.


    Exchanging coins.


    Had nearly troubled everyone.


    Now,


    This problem was solved once and for all, but when it will be released remains a mystery, as it involves massive equipment upgrades—not as simple as shown on screen.


    After all, WeChat is a software Company.


    Scene demonstration concluded.


    "Apuse apuse apuse apuse!!"


    Real, enthusiastic Apuse erupted inside.


    Worth it.


    Cashless society is about to arrive. No wonder Tang Qing once again pioneered a ’trend’, though the concept appeared early, true Large-scale societal application starts tomorrow.


    Tang Qing returned to the stage.


    Wearing a smile.


    "Thank you, this is the main content of today’s Press Conference."


    Next,


    The media Q&A sessionmenced.


    One question per outlet.


    "Mr. Tang, may I ask, is such swift payment safe?"


    The first question was pointed and resonated with manyizens, especially the passive payment methodrge sums could be paid without even requiring a payment password.


    Once the phone falls into the wrong hands.


    Isn’t it risky?


    Within minutes the bank card could be emptied.


    Hearing this,


    Tang Qing nodded, calmly smiling.


    "Thank you for your question; Inte payment security is an issue that can’t be avoided. Protecting your device’s unlock password is the first line of defense; even if others get the phone, they can’t ess it."


    "In this regard, our ’Epoch’ is arguably the best. To date, its system’s security maintains a record of zero breaches, safeguarding everyone’s Mobile phone. That’s one aspect."


    Epoch.


    Regarding security.


    Tang Qing has put some effort; Hardware lock + Software lock, it’s almost impossible to forcibly crack, hence Epoch bes the phone least desirable to a Thief—because even if stolen, it’s useless.


    Can’t be opened without a password.


    Embedded positioning.


    Once the owner reports loss, it can be quickly found; coupled with unique hardwarework authentication, Tang Qing has employed ck tech to ensure legal rights for Epoch users, with sales hardly dropping.


    Security,


    is the reasons many customers choose it.
