To make Hello app one of the three mainstream Chinese apps. At the media communication meeting at the end of April, Yang Lei continued to emphasize: “Hello is a very independent company. Alipay is our major shareholder, but not our controlling shareholder. Our company is still managed by Hello The company with the most voting rights in the layer, we are a fairly independent company.”
From the perspective of user experience, compared with the two high-frequency entrances of WeChat and Meituan respectively for Qingtang and Meituan bicycles, it is a logical operation for users to use Alipay to scan codes and use Hello. .
An investor in the industry who has made an investment of ofo bluntly: not optimistic about the independent development of Hello, if he does not want to be the next ofo, he can only rely on Ali to assume the functions of the department. Such as the inclusion of Alipay’s local system, the bicycle division of Zuoxing.
Hello’s independent will can’t resist scrutiny.
The shared bicycle has evolved from a two-man race to a three-legged structure, and capital has always been in a strong position to participate. Since Hello backed by Ant Financial in July 2017, it has been financing through pledged bike sharing and management equity. The latter has already obtained 36.733% equity through its subsidiary Shanghai Yunxin in 2018, becoming Hello The largest shareholder.
According to Ali’s consistent strong style, Hello cannot be independent at all.
People in the industry Liu Qiu believe that making an independent app is a self-protection method of Hello. “Alipay’s channels are also limiting the development of Hello. Once Hello leaves Alipay, the lesson is a fun store.”
This also reveals the awkward situation of Hello in the Alipay system. “Hello doing business is not an order of magnitude with Didi, and it is a direct conflict with Gao De. Gao De is Ali’s son.” Liu Qiu said. And Gaode merged into Ali in 2014, and evolved from a map service to a “one-stop global travel service platform”. The slogan shouted is: use Gaode for travel, just use Gaode!
