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

time flies.

The impact of the HarmonyOS system is still unfolding.

Various comments from netizens have also appeared online.

"Galaxy Technology is amazing! I never thought they would actually create a truly domestically developed operating system!"

"I don't care about any domestic operating system. I just want to know if Galaxy Technology's claim that you can get a reward as long as you find and submit a vulnerability is true!"

"A company as big as Galaxy Technology would definitely admit to something if they made it public on their official website."

"To be honest, this amount of money is nothing to Galaxy Technology."

"Galaxy Technology is the cash king of Tangdu and even Qin Province. It is said that there are more than 200 billion yuan in cash in Galaxy Technology's accounts, and the monthly interest is a huge sum of money."

"Haven't you ever bought any smart home appliances from Galaxy Technology? They're really great after the upgrade!"

"It's not only easy to use, but also a great value. The smart version is only a hundred yuan more expensive than the regular version."

"I have already placed an order for Galaxy Technology's whole-house smart home kit, from door locks to lights to washing machines and air conditioners. I trust Galaxy Technology."

"I must say, Xinghuo Express, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Galaxy Technology, is indeed very efficient and has a really good service attitude!"

"If only Galaxy Technology could develop women's products!"

There are all sorts of comments online.

Over the past few years, Galaxy Technology has established a highly reliable reputation among consumers through its many products, such as Evergreen Liquid and beauty software.

In addition, Wang Donglai vigorously promoted the development of Galaxy Technology's offline business.

The smart white goods business may seem insignificant, but its profit margin is quite high.

From directly operated stores to installation and after-sales service, the final link to the consumer has been connected.

In this way, the Galaxy Technology brand was firmly established in the minds of consumers.

Consumers have different priorities.

They pay more attention to AI and the Internet of Things, and pay little attention to the HarmonyOS system. As long as their own products are smooth and don't lag, that's enough for them.

As for Wang Donglai...

After returning to Tangdu City from the capital, Wang Donglai busied himself with his own affairs.

Promoting the HarmonyOS system is not a simple matter; it will take time.

At the same time, Wang Donglai also wanted to give domestic manufacturers some time to see how they would choose.

Their choices will determine what Wang Donglai will do next!

And so, May arrived.

In early May, something happened that sparked a huge discussion online.

The murder of a female passenger on Didi.

This immediately put Didi in the spotlight.

In this life, Wang Donglai launched the driverless technology ahead of schedule and even conducted a technology pilot project in Tangdu City.

Therefore, in the capital market, Didi's operating model is not as highly regarded as it was in its previous form.

Many people believe that self-driving technology is the future, and Didi will eventually be phased out.

The reason is simple: Didi has to cover the expenses of a driver.

But self-driving technology doesn't require that.

At this moment, after this incident broke out, Didi reacted very quickly.

at this time.

Wang Donglai was also talking to the chief steward of Tangdu City.

"Academician Wang, regarding the promotion of the HarmonyOS system, do you need us to promote it?"

The former manager had already been promoted, and the current manager had no prior contact with Wang Donglai.

However, given Galaxy Technology's current capabilities and potential, it is certainly worth the efforts of Tangdu City's general manager to curry favor with them.

Right now, helping Galaxy Technology promote the HarmonyOS system is something this manager thinks is something he can do.

There is no problem from either a moral or logical standpoint.

However, Wang Donglai refused the steward's overtures.

"Thank you for your concern, boss. It takes time for a system to be truly welcomed by consumers, and it also requires the system to truly solve consumers' pain points."

“Using administrative power to promote it may be effective in the short term, but it’s hard to say in the long run.”

"Galaxy Technology is a company based in Tangdu City. Its development to this point is all thanks to the support of Tangdu City. We will continue to do so and, under the leadership of our leaders, develop Galaxy Technology even better."

"As for the promotion of this HarmonyOS system, I already have several plans."

Wang Donglai wasn't worried that his direct refusal would embarrass the new manager.

First of all, this is just a small matter.

Secondly, using administrative power to promote the HarmonyOS system is an option, but having Tangdu City intervene would be somewhat insufficient.

After all, Tangdu City can only influence Tangdu City.

Even including all units, it's only a few hundred thousand computers.

The price was that Wang Donglai owed a huge favor.

Stay close to the government, stay away from politics!
This is a principle that Wang Donglai has always adhered to.

If Wang Donglai agreed to the new manager's help, he would then refuse any further requests from the manager regarding employment and investment.

This is completely contrary to Wang Donglai's interests.

The new manager, surnamed Wu, was not angry even after being rejected by Wang Donglai; instead, he smiled.

"Oh, it's good that Mr. Wang has a promotion plan or contingency plan."

"The reason I invited Mr. Wang here today is because there is something I would like to ask him."

"I heard that Galaxy Technology is buying land and building skyscrapers all over the country?"

Manager Wu asked directly.

Wang Donglai suddenly realized, and without denying it, immediately nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, we are, after all, an internet technology company, and we have a lot of user data and information."

"Furthermore, as we develop artificial intelligence technology, we need even more valuable data and information, so we must build our own data center."

"As for buying land, it's also to make it easier for our employees to work and to solve some of their living problems."

"I'm sure General Manager Wu is aware that I'm planning to implement a four-and-a-half-day work week and work-from-home arrangements within Galaxy Technology."

"Our company's mission is to enable more people to enjoy the fun that technology brings."

"Galaxy Technology's development to its current state is inseparable from the joint efforts of all its employees. While the company is developing, as the boss, I also need to pay attention to the happiness of my employees."

"The four-and-a-half-day work week is just an experiment, and I will adjust it according to the actual situation later."

"The primary purpose of buying the land is to build our own office space."

"After all, we've grown to this point, and it's not good to always rent office space." "Secondly, I also have a plan. I'm going to buy some land and develop residential buildings specifically for our company's employees, or as dormitories."

Manager Wu's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to make plans in his mind.

When he first heard this news, his first reaction was that Galaxy Technology was going to move its headquarters.

To be honest, he didn't even dare to imagine what the consequences would be if the headquarters of the bank's technology division were to move away.

Putting aside everything else, the fact that Galaxy Technology's headquarters is located here brings hundreds of billions of yuan in economic benefits to Tangdu City every year.

Both direct and indirect tax revenue exceeded several billion.

Not to mention the economic vitality that the highly paid employees of Galaxy Technology brought to Tangdu City.

Young people, having money, naturally need to consume.

According to internal statistics in Tangdu City, since the development of Galaxy Technology, the growth rate of the tertiary service industry in Tangdu City has been extremely fast, increasing by 30% every year.

That's not all; some related companies followed Galaxy Technology in building factories in Tangdu City.

BYD has invested 50 billion yuan to build a factory and expand production.

CATL invests 20 billion to build a factory and expand production!
After breathing a sigh of relief, Manager Wu suddenly had an idea.

He said what came to mind: "President Wang, Galaxy Technology's headquarters are in Tangdu. I think these measures can definitely start from Tangdu."

“We are very supportive of your company’s headquarters land and R&D center land.”

“We, as local civil servants, welcome and support the construction of employee dormitories as an employee benefit.”

Hearing what Manager Wu said, Wang Donglai also became interested.

"Manager Wu, we're not developing these properties for the purpose of selling them as commercial housing; they're all for our own employees."

“We need to show sincerity regarding things like plot ratio, shared area, and public area facilities.”

"So, what kind of land price can Tangdu offer?"

"If it's appropriate, we will naturally start in Tangdu City as the first batch."

After thinking for a moment, Steward Wu said, "This matter should have been decided at a general meeting."

"However, to show our support for Galaxy Technology, let me give you a price I've got in mind: 15% off the market price. How does that sound?"

When Manager Wu gave this price, a hint of pain appeared on his face.

Land transfer fees have always been a huge source of revenue for local governments.

Even Tangdu City, while accepting Wang Donglai's model of developing high-tech enterprises to drive economic development, did not forget about land revenue.

It's just that it's a little better than some other cities, and less dependent on them.

However, this does not mean that land transfer fees in Tangdu City are cheap.

After all, this is the capital city of Qin Province, and also the city with the richest university and medical resources in the five northwestern provinces.

Northern Qin Province relies on natural resources and has a lot of money, buying up buildings in Tangdu.

In addition, wealthy people from other places are also flocking to the provincial capital.

Naturally, this drove up housing prices in Tangdu City.

Galaxy Technology is also involved in this.

Galaxy Technology offers its employees such good salaries and benefits, and this is its headquarters, which must have attracted countless talented people and those just trying their luck.

After all, anyone who goes online knows that Galaxy Technology doesn't just recruit college graduates; it also hires students from third-tier universities and some junior colleges.

The latter group already constitutes the majority, naturally attracting many people.

Therefore, the land transfer fee in Tangdu City is not cheap, and an 85% discount is a significant benefit.

However, upon hearing about the discount, Wang Donglai shook his head.

"Boss, we now have more than 20,000 employees in Tangdu City."

"The average salary of these 20,000 people is 13,000, which is far higher than the average salary in Tangdu City."

"I can say without exaggeration that the employees of Galaxy Technology are definitely high-net-worth consumers."

"The fact that such a group of people stays in Tangdu City will be of great benefit to consumption."

"If all these employees choose to buy houses in Tangdu City, it will definitely drive up the housing prices in Tangdu City."

"However, I don't want to do that."

"My idea has always been that real estate can be developed, but we can't always rely on real estate as the engine of the economy."

"I launched the work-from-home initiative because I wanted to give it a try."

"What kind of economic impact would it have if these employees, who earn an average monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan, were to live in their own hometowns?"

"It is undeniable that the standard of living in big cities is far higher than that in my hometown, especially since my hometown is a backward rural area."

"I also did a data analysis within the company, and more than 65% of the employees come from rural areas."

“They work in Tangdu City and need to pay rent, buy food, transportation, and necessary living expenses and social expenses every month.”

"Although we also provide subsidies, from the employees' perspective, they only calculate how much money they receive and how much they spend. Only the money left over is real money."

"There's a phenomenon I don't know if the leadership is aware of: the closer a house is to the headquarters of Galaxy Technology, the more expensive its monthly rent is."

"For example, a single room used to cost 500 yuan a month, but now it costs 900 yuan a month. A two-bedroom apartment used to cost 1,000 yuan a month, but now it costs 2,000 yuan a month."

"We provide housing subsidies for our employees in order to solve their housing problems and reduce their expenses."

In the end, this portion still ended up in the hands of the landlord.

“Our employees neither saved any more money nor enjoyed the accommodations that came with the price.”

"Instead of that, it's better to work from home. At least working from home can save a lot of money on rent, food, and transportation."

“I even considered moving the company to a place with a lower cost of living.”

"Anyway, many of our services are either online or in the factory."

"Placing the office area in the city center is just for appearances and to better recruit talent."

"But now, we no longer need to do that."

"The four characters 'Galaxy Technology' are the best billboard!"

Wang Donglai told Manager Wu a lot.

Upon hearing Wang Donglai's words, Steward Wu, who had initially felt relieved, immediately became anxious again.

If Wang Donglai really did as he said.

In reality, it's not much different from simply moving Galaxy Technology's headquarters.

The fact that so many employees of Galaxy Technology stayed in Tangdu means that they are among the best consumers in Tangdu.

As a result, they have now made money and haven't spent a single penny of it in Tangdu.

How can Tangdu City develop and expand its economic scale under such circumstances?

However, being the head steward, Steward Wu quickly realized what was going on and understood Wang Donglai's intentions and true purpose. (End of Chapter)
