When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Tang City.

Since Wang Donglai placed the headquarters of Galaxy Technology here, many changes have taken place in Tang City.

An obvious example is that it is easier to find a job and make money in Tangdu City.

Whether it is BYD's investment in factory construction or Galaxy Technology's huge investment, they have become levers to boost the economy.

In the field of economics, one dollar can leverage three dollars of economic development.

If the initial capital increases, the economic scale of leverage will also increase.

In the past two years, Galaxy Technology has attracted more than 50 billion in funds.

Compared with Tangdu's economic scale of over one trillion yuan, 50 billion seems to be a small proportion.

However, this 50 billion investment has had a huge impact on employment and economic development in Tang City.

at this time.

A meeting was going on inside the Tang City compound.

The content of the meeting was to implement the smart city construction and unmanned driving technology pilot project submitted by Wang Donglai before.

Not discussion, but implementation.

So, the meeting went smoothly.

However, when it came to the pilot test of driverless technology, some problems arose.

Autonomous driving technology requires more than just technology; it also requires the cooperation of automobile manufacturers.

In this regard, Wang Donglai did not intervene, but left it to Tang Du to decide.

And now, Tang City has started a discussion on this issue.

It didn't take long to discuss before we reached a consensus.

Attract foreign investment.

When the news came out, it immediately caused a stir in the domestic automotive industry.

Piloting driverless technology!
Tang City's behavior is definitely at the forefront of the country, even the world.

It’s not that no one has tried to pilot driverless technology, but no place has the courage like Tang City.

Tangdu City is at least the capital of a province and a new first-tier city with a permanent population exceeding 10 million.

Looking across the country, there are not many cities that can compare with Tang City.

Logically speaking, such advanced and cutting-edge technology trials should first be carried out in less developed and less populated areas, or simply in special closed locations.

There is no logic in piloting it right away in a big city like Tangdu.

But, this kind of thing just happened.

Autonomous driving technology is a technology that domestic automobile manufacturers are working on.

It is also regarded as a profit growth point for future automotive products.

So, when I heard that Tang City was preparing to conduct a pilot project on driverless technology, I immediately became interested.

Some people saw huge business opportunities, while others saw development opportunities.

Whether it is a traditional automobile brand or a new force automobile brand, they all submitted their applications to Tang City at the first opportunity.

Submitting your application is just the first step.

The real action is all below.

Some people take the upper-level route and prepare to get a piece of the pie through the care of the leaders.

Some people took the technical route and wrote a PPT about their own driverless technology and car advantages, intending to use it to impress the officials of Tang City.

Some people also adopted a roundabout strategy, making preparations on the one hand and gathering information on the other.

Wang Donglai, who was far away in Luzhou, was also contacted on the second day after joining the quantum computer project team.

Faced with these new car brands that came to him, Wang Donglai didn't even show up.

Others may not know about the development of new energy car brands, but Wang Donglai is very clear about it.

He genuinely disdains these new car brands that are following the trend.

From top to bottom, there are few people who actually do anything.

The founders of these new car brands received investments from wealthy investors with just a packaged PPT at the beginning of their business.

Then, the crazy expansion began.

Anyway, it’s not your own money that you are spending, so there is no need to feel bad about it.

This brand specializes in renting expensive storefronts and even the fragrance in the bathroom costs hundreds of dollars. The only word that stands out is this: rich and powerful.

What the superior likes, the subordinates will follow!

Corruption, waste and other situations are rampant.

In Wang Donglai's previous life, he never bought a car because of financial constraints.

Therefore, it can be said that it has avoided the bankruptcy trap of new energy vehicles.

It was a very good car brand, but it went bankrupt while it was still running.

Consumers who spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a car are simply like idiots.

Therefore, Wang Donglai in this life looks down on this group of entrepreneurs who are creating new forces from the bottom of his heart.

Even when it came to the lithium-sulfur battery business cooperation, Wang Donglai did not show up, but handed it over to his subordinates.

However, he did not expect that this group of people would find this place.

Wang Donglai was very clear about the purpose of these people.

Or they want to obtain the license for Tangdu City's unmanned driving technology pilot project on their own.

Or they want to have in-depth cooperation with Galaxy Technology.

No matter which point it is, there is no way Wang Donglai would cooperate with them.

It's just that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.

The development of artificial intelligence technology, thanks to the emergence of Wang Donglai, has made us one of the world's leading players in 2017.

Therefore, the exploration of driverless technology has also gained a lot of attention in advance.

Galaxy Technology, which has the highest attainments and the strongest technical reserves in the field of artificial intelligence technology, is also considered by many to be the company most likely to develop driverless technology.

This is coupled with Tang City’s bold attempt to pilot unmanned driving technology.

Many people think they have discovered the key point.

Under such circumstances, Wang Donglai, the key figure, naturally became a hotly sought-after object.

Rejecting a group of new energy vehicle founders will not stop them from continuing to pursue the idea.

It will only further confirm Wang Donglai's say in this matter.

And to the back.

Before Wang Donglai officially joined the quantum computer project team to start work, he was affected by the continuous phone calls and people who came to him.

Just at this time.

Lei Jun also called.

"Boss Lei, you're not here to talk about driverless technology as well, are you?"

Seeing the call from Lei Jun, Wang Donglai immediately asked.

"That's not it."

Wang Donglai immediately became interested, and when he thought of su7, he asked, "Mr. Lei, in fact, with your company's smart ecosystem, you can open up another application scenario besides smartphones." "Cars are a good carrier. Now that the new energy vehicle market is so hot, Mr. Lei is really not interested?"

Lei Bushi on the other end of the phone did not refute immediately, but thought for a while before saying, "Boss Wang, according to what you said, Galaxy Technology has more advantages."

"The patent for semi-solid-state batteries is in your company's hands. What a huge advantage this is!"

"Moreover, your company's white goods business currently has a considerable market share in China. To put it bluntly, your company has missed out on a lot of profits by not entering the smartphone field."

"If we start new energy vehicle business now, we may be able to overtake others."

A smile appeared on Wang Donglai's face. How could he not understand the meaning of Lei Bushi's words?

It is both a question and a test of oneself.

"Mr. Lei, you are not calling me because I am developing a domestic operating system and you are worried that I will enter the smartphone market, right?"

Wang Donglai asked directly without any hesitation.

Lei Jun was somewhat surprised to hear Wang Donglai speak so directly.

But after a moment, Lei Jun said, "Mr. Wang, we have known each other for several years and have a good relationship. Although there is a big age difference, in my heart, I have already regarded you as a friend."

"Many people have thought about developing domestic operating systems, but many have given up. There are many reasons for this."

"The most important reason is that the feasibility of domestic operating systems is not high."

"After that time, there will be no chance. Even if there is an operating system that is better than Android or iOS, there is no market for it."

"Because the world's major mobile phone manufacturers will not risk losing users by changing operating systems, and no software manufacturers will spend money to adapt to new operating systems and develop compatible software."

"Boss Wang, logically speaking, I shouldn't say these words, but after thinking about it, I still think I should give you some advice."

"I believe in Galaxy Technology's R&D capabilities. A domestic operating system can definitely be developed. However, the big problem will arise after it is developed."

"I always hope you can reconsider."

Hearing Lei Jun's earnest advice, Wang Donglai showed a sincere smile on his face.

"Boss Lei, what you said makes sense."

"But I don't think so."

"Just think of me as someone with too much money and nowhere to spend it. Why not just come up with a domestic operating system? With our own operating system, even if we don't use it, we can use it as a backup plan. Who knows, we might be able to use it someday."

"Besides, no one knows what future technology will be like as technology develops."

“Maybe in the future, when no one uses mobile phones anymore, it may not be impossible!”

Wang Donglai said to Lei Jun with a smile.

"Well, since Mr. Wang said so, I won't say much."

"I am waiting for good news from Academician Wang, so that he can develop a more advanced quantum computer as soon as possible."

When Lei Jun heard what Wang Donglai said, he did not continue the previous topic and changed the subject.

"Then Mr. Lei, just wait for my good news!"

"Boss Lei, are you really not considering entering the automotive industry?"

"I know that Mr. Lei doesn't like to be the first to try new things. He wants to wait until the situation becomes clear before making a decision."

"However, in some fields, entering early will give you a first-mover advantage, while entering later will have some barriers."

"Mr. Lei, please give it some serious consideration. If you are interested, maybe we can still have a chance to cooperate!"

Wang Donglai persuaded Lei Jun with a smile.

Later, Lei Jun announced that his last entrepreneurial venture would be in the automotive field.

In just two or three years, the SU7, which took the market by storm, was developed.

He also wanted to see whether Lei Jun would have performed better if he had entered the automotive industry earlier.

When Wang Donglai mentioned this again, Lei Jun hesitated for a moment, and then said firmly: "Mr. Wang, I don't have this idea for the time being. Besides, this is a big deal, and I also need to convene a board meeting to listen to the opinions of other shareholders."

"However, if we really enter the automotive field, I think we will definitely have opportunities for cooperation."

"Then I'm looking forward to Mr. Lei's good news!"

Wang Donglai replied with a smile and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the call with Lei Jun, Wang Donglai was preparing to devote himself to studying.

Then I received another call.

It’s BYD’s boatman.

The call from the boatman was actually very simple.

He was not planning to win the Tangdu City driverless technology pilot project order through Wang Donglai.

Instead, he persuaded Wang Donglai to control the scale of the unmanned driving technology pilot project in Tangdu City.

At this time, BYD was far from its future glory, and it still had the image of a second-rate car brand in the automotive field.

But only Wang Donglai knows what kind of achievements BYD will achieve in the future.

Sweep!

A sweep without a doubt!
From high-end models to entry-level models to mainstream models, BYD has achieved quite brilliant results.

BYD is currently in the stage of technology accumulation.

Even with the semi-solid-state battery developed by Wang Donglai, BYD still has reservations about the research and development of new energy vehicles and has not gone all in.

Instead, according to previous plans, the company is conducting research and development of technologies such as hybrid and extended-range electric vehicles.

At the same time, BYD is also the most conservative manufacturer regarding driverless technology.

It’s not that the boatman denies this technology, but that he is quite cautious about this technology.

After all, Brother Boatman is a real science and engineering man, and has been developing in this field for many years.

So he is well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of the car.

Autonomous driving sounds good, but before the technology is truly mature, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

If a car accident happens due to carelessness, a company will just have to pay some money.

But for a family, it is an unbearable burden.

What's more, many people do not have a clear understanding of artificial intelligence technology and driverless technology.

When it comes to driverless cars, people think that they can completely replace humans.

That's why the boatman is conservative about driverless technology.

If it weren't for the close cooperation with Galaxy Technology, and if it weren't for the fact that Brother Boatman was extremely optimistic about Wang Donglai's potential and the development of Galaxy Technology, Brother Boatman would never have said such a thing.

The boatman is well aware of the principle that one can talk about deep things even if they are not very close.

only.

Wang Donglai did not feel unhappy about the boatman's persuasion.

On the contrary, it was his understanding of driverless technology and the future development of automobiles that aroused the boatman's strong interest.

After all, many of the things Wang Donglai proposed became products that BYD later released.

Now, coming from Wang Donglai's mouth, it naturally touched the boatman's itch.

After a few rounds of thinking, the boatman gave up his previous idea.

In the end, Wang Donglai made a suggestion that made the boatman even more excited.

That is, to launch a BYD car into space! (End of this chapter)
