In life, there are many interesting name collision stories that often cause laughter and sometimes bring some troubles to the parties involved.

However, what happened to such an old man who made a fortune after hitting the jackpot?

It turned out that this uncle's name was very special. He was actually called "Alipay".

In today's China, almost no one doesn't know about Alipay.

The emergence of Alipay has profoundly changed people's payment methods and even business models.

At the beginning of its appearance, while everyone was praising it, it brought certain troubles to this master.

So, how did you change your mindset and turn trouble into wealth?

Figure 1

Named "Alipay"

In 1962, with a cry, another male servant was added to the Zhi family in the mountainous area of Yinan, Linyi City, Shandong Province.

The family was very pleased with the arrival of the newborn, and they carefully followed the family's rules and named the child in the order of the family tree.

This child belongs to the generation of "Fu", and his family regards him as a treasure, so they named him Alipay.

At that time, no one knew that there would be a software called Alipay in the future.

This name conveys the high expectations of the family towards the child and is catchy to call.

In the first half of his life on Alipay, he never felt anything wrong with his name, nor did people around him feel anything unusual.

Figure 2

As a child in the countryside, Alipay did not go to school, and his childhood was basically spent in labor.

Of course, he is actually an ambitious person who has also attempted to venture into a career.

However, there is no culture and we often suffer losses. Frustrated, he had to return to his hometown.

After getting married and having children, Alipay opened a small shop with the help of its family. By this time, Alipay was over 40 years old.

He felt that his life should be spent in this plain and indifferent state, and he would no longer have any ambitions.

However, in 2004, a software was launched, which changed Mr. Zhi's life from then on.

At first, Alipay under Alibaba Group only operated in big cities, and did not develop business in rural areas.

However, after a period of time, with the implementation of Alipay software, it is inconvenient to carry notes.

People have found that using mobile phones for payment is very fast, as they can easily pay by simply scanning the QR code or payment code.

Figure 3

Therefore, even many places in the countryside are starting to use QR codes for payment.

However, without the knowledge of the cultural branch, the world has quietly changed.

It wasn't until the appearance of a young man that Uncle Zhi had some doubts in his heart.

That year, as the Spring Festival approached, Grandpa Zhi's small shop gradually became lively.

A young man who had gone out to work and returned to his hometown suddenly shouted at Uncle Zhi when he arrived at the front desk to settle the bill,"I forgot my change. Can I pay with Alipay?"

Grandpa Zhi suddenly became a bit angry. Why are young people so impolite now? He scolded the young man and then gave him some change.

And the young monk Zhang Er couldn't figure out why the master was so angry.

So we must argue with Uncle Zhi, and it was only after the youth had exhausted their words that Uncle Zhi understood.

Figure 4

It turns out that people in the city now use Alipay to pay for the software, and they hit the name of the software!

Soon, more and more people used Alipay to pay or collect money in the village, which made Uncle Zhi very angry.

Because people always make fun of Alipay and ask it to give a red envelope.

Even his grandson played a big joke and asked his grandfather to sweep some pocket money for him.

In anger, Uncle Zhi wants to take Alipay to the court.

After all, he was born so many years earlier than Alipay. So, can Uncle Zhi succeed?

Suing "Alipay"

At first, when Mr. Zhi came up with this idea, everyone didn't understand him and thought he was joking.

After all, how could such a huge company be sued by an ordinary and well-known citizen?

Figure 5

However, Uncle Zhi could not swallow this tone all the time. He had to show Alipay who was the real Alipay!

Uncle Zhi did what he said and used a notice to take Alibaba to court, which made everyone confused.

The lawyer's words made Mr. Zhi very helpless. The lawyer pointed out that a person's name does not have a patent right.

There are over a billion people in China, with too many important names. If we go to sue one by one, it would still be enough.

Moreover, the registered names of the company have patent rights and are protected by national authorities.

Therefore, this lawsuit is completely unreasonable.

As expected, Grandpa Zhi was still defeated in the face of the law, and he returned to the village disheartened.

I wanted to continue to work in my own small shop silently. Anyone who wants to call Alipay, let them call it.

Grandpa Zhi gradually began to think about it, and just a name would not bother these people.

Figure 6

However, the spring that belongs to Grandpa Zhi has just begun.

After returning to the village, Grandpa Zhi found that suddenly many people came to his door.

His lawsuit against Alibaba quickly spread among the villagers, and some people came to visit Uncle Zhi's house to see the excitement.

The reporter's visit made Mr. Zhi earn a lot of extra money, and Mr. Zhi, who has always been mentally agile, keenly realized that this is a very good opportunity to make money.

However, perhaps due to the prevalence of telecommunications fraud back then,Uncle Zhi almost missed an opportunity to appear on TV, which was why he became completely popular.

In 2016, Hunan TV's variety show "Day Up" was very interested in Mr. Zhi's experience and invited him to appear on the program by phone.

Figure 7

However, Grandpa Zhi didn't think so. How could TV programs be notified by phone? They must have come to cheat.

It has to be said that Mr. Zhi is very vigilant, which makes the program team laugh and cry.

The director had to go on his own journey and traveled thousands of miles to this small mountain village to visit Uncle Zhi.

Uncle Zhi became even more nervous at first glance. How could this group of people come directly to their home to cheat?

The director could only find the local police with a mournful expression and have the police comrades prove their identity.

Uncle Zhi is also very sorry for causing such an uproar.

He thought he couldn't let the program team go for nothing, so he agreed to the program team's request.

Uncle Zhi from a small mountain village has obtained an opportunity that countless people dream of.

Figure 8

He will stand under the spotlight and tell everyone his story, and Uncle Zhi did not disappoint this opportunity.

His performance on the program impressed countless people with this master.

Success and retirement

At the broadcast of the program, Grandpa Zhi made his final appearance.

The host Wang Han's statement that the wealthiest person in China has arrived has completely ignited the enthusiasm of all the audience.

Although he is from the countryside, Uncle Zhi is not afraid of stage. He holds his ID card to introduce himself to the audience. He is just like a fake Alipay himself.

Although the master has little culture, he is loved by the audience for his simple and humorous personality as a rural hostage, and his popular jokes make everyone laugh heartily.

After the program was broadcasted, it received widespread praise, and Uncle Zhi became completely popular on the internet.

And after returning home, the small shop along with the branch became a popular check-in point on the internet.

Figure 9

A group of tourists came from thousands of miles to take a photo with him, and Uncle Zhi was also delighted that everyone liked him and was very cooperative.

However, the tourists' demands made Mr. Zhi feel a bit headache. Those tourists wanted to take a photo with Mr. Zhi's ID card.

At first, Uncle Zhi repeatedly took out his ID card and took a photo with them.

However, after a long time, he couldn't bear it. He simply printed out his ID card and posted it at the door for everyone to check in for entertainment.

They don't mind Uncle Zhi's involvement in this hot topic, but instead apologize for any inconvenience caused to Uncle Zhi by posting on Weibo.

He also decided to jointly open a Alipay demonstration store with him to compensate me.

With official support, Mr. Zhi's small shop has been transformed into a brand new one.

Figure 10

After the store opened, it was bustling with customers and the sound of receiving payments kept ringing every day.

The sharp increase in revenue filled Uncle Zhi's heart with gratitude.

When asked if he still cared about renaming, Uncle Zhi waved his hand repeatedly.

The official is so sincere in helping him improve his life.

Without the existence of Alipay software, he is still a nobody.

Today, he has long felt that it is an honor to share the same name with Alipay, which is why he has an enviable well-off life.

Of course, this hot spot catches fire quickly and subsides quickly.

After this wave of heat passed, Uncle Zhi returned to the peaceful life of a small shop owner, and only the decoration inside the store still proves the glorious moments it once existed.

But Uncle Zhi was not discouraged because of this. With the money he had earned before, the living conditions of Uncle Zhi's family have greatly improved.

Figure 11

Nowadays, he drives to stock up every morning and ends up resting at night, living a very comfortable life.

In fact, Uncle Zhi also prefers this kind of life in his heart. When people are popular, there are always many distractions, and this purity makes him, an elderly person, feel at ease.

epilogue

After all, people like Uncle Zhi who turn over by name are among the few.

However, when opportunities arise, he is able to fully seize the opportunity to create wealth.
