4. Who killed ofo? Ma Huateng: One vote of veto
On December 20, Ma Huateng commented on the cause ofo's defeat in his circle of friends, saying that "it is a veto right" issue. Li Xueling, chairman and CEO of Huya Times, also expressed the same view on his circle of friends, saying that ofo's real cause of death lies in "a veto power." He explained that at present, Dai Wei, Alibaba, Didi and Jingwei all have a veto power. "The five veto powers are passed without passing anything. Many startups do not pay much attention to the legal setting, leaving many legal loopholes, which may pose a fatal threat to the company in this case." Li Xueling said. (Tencent Technology)
5. Taobao says Alipay is no longer the only one: it may introduce Cloud Flash Payment
Recently, Taobao suddenly posted a very "ambiguous" Weibo post, calling Alipay from afar: "Tomorrow we will no longer be the only one for each other." Alipay Weibo has not responded yet, and it is not confirmed what changes will be. New payment method? WeChat Pay will definitely be the first to enter everyone's mind, but under the current situation, the probability of Taobao supporting WeChat Pay is so low that it basically doesn't need to be considered. The more likely thing is UnionPay's Cloud Flash Payment. (NetEase Technology)
