#41 - Section: Huaxing Wallet

In the afternoon, Lu Haifeng's office was bustling with activity, sorting through the year's documents. The New Year was approaching, and the employees were about to start their holidays.

The phone rang. Lu Haifeng answered and said, "Old Huang, what's up?"

Huang Zhonghua said, "President Lu, I've already sent you the documents you need. Please check your inbox."

Lu Haifeng opened the email and began to read. After finishing, he said to his secretary, Xiao Ai, "Xiao Ai, arrange for someone to send the documents to Bureau Chief Cui. I've forwarded them to your email."

After the plan was approved, everyone wholeheartedly devoted themselves to the work.

Cui Sheng listened to Lu Haifeng's suggestion and adopted a two-site, two-center private cloud architecture to ensure the security of user data.

Lu Haifeng asked Li Jun to transfer 10,000 servers each from Shanghai and Yanjing, which could be used by connecting to the railway department's network.

Huang Zhonghua and his team were responsible for teaching the railway department employees how to operate the system. Everyone was busy.

I won't be going back to my hometown for the New Year this year. I should tell my family.

Thinking of this, Lu Haifeng directly called his father, Lu.

"Xiao Feng, what's up with you calling me? Do you need any help?" Father Lu asked directly.

"No, it's just that I might not be able to come back this year. I have some things here that I can't get away from. The company has taken on a project, and some of our people will have to work overtime this year," Lu Haifeng replied.

"What big project is it that requires such a big company to work overtime?" Father Lu asked.

Lu Haifeng had no choice but to explain the development of the railway ticketing system to his father in detail.

Father Lu was shocked and speechless for a long time. After a while, he said, "This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. I support you, and I believe your grandfather will also support you. Go ahead and do it boldly. Call Dad if you have any problems."

"Okay, don't worry," Lu Haifeng said.

A month later, Lu Haifeng took Li Jun to the Ministry of Railways in Yanjing.

Cui Sheng had already arranged for someone to greet them at the entrance. The secretary saw Lu Haifeng and hurriedly stepped forward, saying, "President Lu, Bureau Chief Cui is already waiting for you in the conference room. I'll take you there."

"Thank you for your trouble," Lu Haifeng said politely.

The secretary led Lu Haifeng and Li Jun to the conference room on the second floor.

Entering the conference room.

Lu Haifeng found that many people were already seated, presumably leaders from various departments.

Cui Sheng stepped forward to introduce the leaders, and Lu Haifeng shook hands with them one by one.

After the introductions, Cui Sheng said, "President Lu, shall we begin the presentation?"

Lu Haifeng nodded, signaling Li Jun to connect the laptop to the projector. After connecting, Lu Haifeng began to explain, "Respected leaders, this is the website UI we designed. Users must register with their real names to purchase tickets. Through our optimized underlying core application, we have incorporated all the train schedules provided by the railway department."

"That is to say, where the user boards the train, where they get off, how many seats are still available on the train now, and how many seats are still available at the next station, all have detailed data. Coupled with our powerful Huaxing database, we can ensure that every user's ticket purchase data can be quickly retrieved."

"In addition, after the ticket purchase is completed, we also provide a variety of payment methods, the most common being online banking payments from major banks."

"But I believe many users don't have time to open online banking."

"So, we provide users with third-party payment, Huaxing Wallet. Penguin and Ali, you'll have to negotiate with them. Huaxing Wallet is our own developed third-party payment tool, which can be used for very convenient payment."

"Users only need to bind their savings card to their Huaxing Wallet account, without having to open online banking or go to the bank."

One of the deputy directors raised his hand and asked, "President Lu, is this safe?"

Lu Haifeng assured, "Respected leaders, please rest assured that the Huaxing Wallet we developed is absolutely safe, because we use Huaxing Cloud Computing's ultra-high protection. We now have tens of millions of Huaxing Wallet users, and we have not heard of any accounts being hacked."

"In addition, we also provide compensation guarantees. If your account is hacked, no matter how much money is stolen, we will pay it out immediately."

"And the most important point is that I am willing to believe that customers who bind bank cards will not put too much money on this card."

"After all, it's only used to buy small things, and a mobile phone verification code is required for anything over five thousand, so we don't worry about paying too much, and compared to paying money, I have more faith in our technology."

Many leaders nodded in agreement. Not many people use a third-party payment, and some may unbind it after using it.

"What about the settlement cycle?" the deputy director asked again.

Lu Haifeng directly replied, "1 day. As long as the train tickets are invalidated before 12 o'clock tonight, our Huaxing Wallet system will transfer the money to your railway department's account before 12 o'clock tomorrow night."

"Hiss..." Everyone was a little speechless.

This speed is faster than the bank's! You should know that it takes 7 days for the bank to credit the account.

Lu Haifeng continued, "In fact, this third-party payment tool is just an alternative. Maybe users are in the rural hometown, and there are no banks nearby, so they can only use third-party payment."

"I believe that if conditions permit, users would still prefer to choose online banking payment."

"That's indeed the case, President Lu, please continue," Cui Sheng said.

Lu Haifeng nodded and said, "The most important part is the ticket collection process. Because the system we developed is idiot-proof."

"You only need to bring your ID card to the train ticket hall, find the self-service ticket machine, and the interface is open in front of the ticket machine. Select internet ticket collection, then put the ID card in the place marked 'Second Generation ID Card'. There are similar wifi signal markings on it. After the information is read, the passenger's purchased train ticket will be displayed. Click print, and wait for the train ticket to come out of the ticket outlet."

"The window ticket collection is the same. Put the second-generation ID card on the CI card reader, the information will be read automatically, and you can print it directly. It's just that ID cards without magnetism can only be collected at the window, and the staff manually enter the ID card number."

"So, the reason I just said it's an idiot-proof operation is because of this. You can collect tickets at the window or at the self-service ticket machine. Just follow the ticket machine process."

A group of leaders stared blankly. It turned out to be so simple. If they were to research it themselves, it would take until the year of the monkey to figure it out. This directly saves a lot of manpower and resources.
