It is now possible to exchange “red envelopes” with smartphones, which is popular in China and has caused a battle(战争) for the lucrative market between the two companies providing the service, Tencent and Alibaba.

For the past few weeks a digital battle has been terrible, with Tencent banning（禁止）Alipay from sending red envelopes on WeChat, saying they were at a risk. Recently, WeChat also blocked(封锁)Alibaba’s music app Xiami.

It’s easy to send and receive hong bao or take part in the lotteries: you simply need to register（登记）your bank details. According to market research group iResearch, Alipay controls 82.6 percent of the Chinese mobile phone payment market, compared to 10 percent for Tencent’s Tenpay.

Tom’s BaoBao is a small restaurant that serves fresh handmade steamed Chinese buns. It goes by the name GanQiShi Bao Bao in China and was first launched in 2009. Now it has 200 chain stores（分店）across China and serves over 70,000,000 baozi a year with a benefit（收益）of $ 30 million. It opened its first US store in Harvard square on 12 July 2016 and sold baozi in traditional tastes like pork with ginger, curry beef, chicken with cabbage, sweet potatoes and so on. Tom’s BaoBao at Harvard square welcomes Harvard students and teachers to buy the baozi for US $3 per bun.
The owner is an engineer from China named Tong Qihua or “Tom” as he is known in America. Tom ran baozi restaurants in China for years. He found success in bringing high-quality ingredients（材料）to the traditional Chinese dish, and these ingredients can often be easily bought in local markets throughout the country.
Tong said he chose Boston as his first international branch store because he loved the city at once during a visit in 2014, and then learned that it was a sister city to his current（现在的）home, Hangzhou. After opening here, he hopes to bring bao to 20 to 30 more locations in the next five years. But he’s not in any hurry. “We will take our time to build a brand,” he said. “Not everyone can be a baoist.”
