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

In his previous life, Wang Donglai saw a question on Zhihu.

What is the greatest wealth of the rich?
This question has been answered by more than 10,000 people, with the most popular answer receiving over 50,000 likes, and the comments are countless.

The answer is the poor.

The poor are the rich's greatest asset.

The logic is simple: five thousand yuan is not even enough to buy a bottle of wine for a rich person, but for an ordinary worker, it would take a month's worth of labor to earn that amount.

For the rich to maintain the best lifestyle and enjoy the best services, the most important thing is not to earn enough money, but to maintain enough poor people.

Only when enough poor people are hungry for money and for making money can the money in the hands of the rich play a role and drive the poor to work like oxen and horses for them, dedicating their lives to them.

Faced with this, the varied answers given by others seem like fireflies compared to the brilliance of the moon.

After reading this answer, Wang Donglai had a sudden realization.

The reason why Wang Donglai's mindset changed after being reborn is quite simple.

Then, relying on the system, I'll become the only online player in the world.

No matter what the situation, he has a safety net guarantee.

Therefore, he can act boldly, disregard money, and spend large sums of money.

Galaxy Technology has been established for 4 years. If we add up the salaries paid to employees who joined in the first year, the total amount paid to them now is nearly one million yuan.

This scope does not only include management, but covers all employees who have signed formal contracts.

Such practices by Galaxy Technology are unique in the country.

Upon hearing Wang Donglai's words, everyone was momentarily taken aback.

“Mr. Wang, if we do it this way, we won’t be able to maximize profits. Besides, the salaries we offer are already the industry standard, and everyone is used to them. If we make changes rashly, it may cause some unnecessary trouble.”

The CEO of Chaowei tentatively spoke up.

"Profit maximization is actually a false proposition."

"Because this is a goal, not a standard that can be quantified."

"We can't keep saying that science and technology are the primary productive forces and that talent is the core, while treating the employees we recruit like cattle and horses."

"As for what you said about it potentially causing some unnecessary trouble, let me guess, some people will say that it's malicious wage increases, damaging the working environment, and disrupting the supply and demand balance, right?"

"I think this is ridiculous."

"The pursuit of a better life is everyone's pursuit."

"Therefore, a good life cannot fall from the sky; it must be earned through hard work."

"Striving should be valuable and rewarding. If a person works overtime for twelve months a year, thirty days a month, and without rest all year round, in the end, after satisfying basic needs, the money saved up cannot even buy a toilet."

"I think this kind of struggle is pathological and undesirable."

"The energy battery industrial park, with Xuanwu battery technology at its core, will cover the entire industry chain from upstream to downstream thanks to its powerful performance."

"In this industry chain, anyone who wants to make money through Xuanwu batteries must abide by my rules."

The CEO of Chaowei looked rather grim.

At this moment, Zeng Qun immediately stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "President Wang, the employment environment cannot be determined by one or two companies. It is based on the current employment situation, policies, culture, and economic development in China, and is the result of a variety of factors."

"The same logic applies to wage levels. We have a market economy. If employees accept this price, it proves that the price is appropriate and acceptable to them."

"Although the wages we offer are not very high, compared with some small factories in the south, we still have a considerable competitive advantage."

“For real economy industries like ours, the investment is high, the risk is great, and the capital chain is long. Even the slightest disturbance can affect the profit for the whole year, so we can’t afford to be too careful with our money.”

“Each additional employee not only increases management costs, but also introduces a hidden security risk.”

"Everyone is genuinely proud of Xuanwu batteries. The fact that our country can develop and produce such excellent battery products is a great source of pride for us in the industry."

"Of course, besides feeling proud and honored, we also hope to be able to stand by President Wang's side and make a fortune together with the Xuanwu Battery."

"This is just a small gesture we've made, and we hope Mr. Wang can understand."

Zeng Qun's tone was extremely obsequious, not at all like that of the founder of a large company.

However, none of the people present showed any sign of mockery. Instead, they all looked at Wang Donglai with tension and anticipation, waiting for his answer.

Wang Donglai smiled, but his eyes were icy cold.

"Mr. Zeng, I've said this several times already, and I don't want to repeat myself. The conditions are the same, and they won't change."

"that is it."

"Everyone can think about this carefully before giving me an answer!"

After Wang Dong finished speaking, he got up and left immediately.

Taking the Xuanwu battery as a breakthrough point to initiate reforms was actually something Wang Donglai suddenly came up with.

He never expected that the R&D staff at Galaxy Technology would develop the Xuanwu Battery at this time, thus bringing the product to market.

And so he went with the flow, taking advantage of the emergence of the Xuanwu Battery to give it a try.

Wang Donglai was quite confident about this attempt.

The trillion-yuan industrial park project will be incredibly attractive to Tangdu City and Qin Province.

Putting everything else aside, if this industrial park is actually established, even if it only has half the value of a trillion-dollar project, that would be enough.

Five hundred billion yuan in funding can leverage an economic scale that will multiply tenfold.

With so many companies setting up factories in Tangdu City, along with upstream and downstream industries, the city has created hundreds of thousands of jobs.

Not to mention the impact of these companies and employees on the development of industries such as hotels, restaurants, and entertainment.

Wang Donglai was confident that as long as Tangdu City knew about this project, it would definitely give its full support and strive for it.

As for whether energy battery manufacturers and other companies will relocate their headquarters here, Wang Donglai has no doubt at all.

The executives of Galaxy Technology followed Wang Donglai out of the previous meeting room and chose a new one to sit down.

"Next, I'll assign some tasks to everyone." "The emergence of the Xuanwu Battery is of great significance to the group's development."

"It's not just about economic benefits, but also about other aspects. As I just said, once this industrial park is established, it means that an economic entity centered on us will be born."

“If any of you still disagree with the idea of ​​distributing profits, I can give you the opportunity to withdraw.”

"I won't let you suffer a loss either. I'll buy back your shares at a tenfold premium."

After Wang Dong finished speaking, his gaze swept across everyone's faces.

After waiting for a while, no one spoke.

"If you have any thoughts about withdrawing, you can contact me privately. The conditions will not change."

"Whether everyone truly agrees or has no objections, since they have chosen to stay at Galaxy Technology, they must follow the group's plan."

“Last month, we launched the HarmonyOS system. So far, no domestic smartphone manufacturer has contacted us or responded to our proposed cooperation.”

"Now, we have launched the Xuanwu Battery, a product that is poised to disrupt the market."

"Don't be fooled by our achievements. At this time, there may be many people and organizations plotting how to deal with us."

"Even those people from earlier may not be genuinely interested in cooperating with us."

"Zhang Byte, keep a close eye on any negative public opinion surrounding the company on the company's platform. I estimate it will appear soon."

"I can even guess the content: a famous research institution claims that super batteries cause cancer, that the safety of super batteries has not been verified, and warns of the trap of extending battery life and certification. Or it could say that with current science and technology, it would take more than ten years of development to break through the energy density of 1000wh/kg, and the safety verification period would also take three to five years."

"Regarding these negative public opinions about Xuanwu Battery, the platform should not directly delete or ban them. First, contact the legal department for notarization, and then report to the police. We need to take legal action."

"Engineer Yang, here are a few more tasks for you. First, apply the Xuanwu battery to the lunar probe; second, immediately conduct a feasibility study on electric aircraft, as well as the core technologies and difficulties."

"In addition, the group is prepared that if the cooperation with BYD on Xuanwu batteries does not go smoothly, then we will start businesses such as flying cars and self-driving cars."

"One more thing, we need to contact the higher authorities directly through Qin Province to expedite the national standard testing."

"Finally, we should immediately file relevant defensive patent applications based on the development of Xuanwu Battery, including but not limited to the fields of electrolyte and electrode, to prevent some people from blackmailing us by filing patents in advance."

"The group will not be accepting media interviews at this time."

That's about it. Does anyone have any questions?

Wang Donglai swiftly and decisively assigned tasks to everyone.

Wang Donglai had broken down the task into such detail that everyone understood, as they were not incompetent fools.

However, many people still had some doubts and questions about Wang Donglai's plans to launch driverless cars and flying cars.

"Chairman, are we really preparing for flying cars and driverless cars, or...?"

Upon hearing this question, Wang Donglai did not hesitate and immediately said, "BYD would never entrust their lifeline to us. Just look at BYD's development over the years, and you'll know."

"Their belief is in self-research and development, keeping all the links and processes in their own hands to form a complete industrial chain, so that they can earn the greatest profits."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that BYD is waging a price war and constantly launching high-performance, cost-effective products at this time. It's because they are seizing market share and reshuffling the market."

"Once BYD has completely dominated the low, mid, and high-end markets, then BYD will raise prices and start making a profit."

"By then, there will probably be only a few car brands left, all barely surviving under BYD's terrifying sales figures."

"If we only had one Xuanwu battery, BYD would never give up on developing it ourselves."

"It's highly likely that while they're collaborating with us, they're also busy recruiting people to develop their own technology and overcome technical challenges."

"To be honest, I still have high hopes for Brother Boatman. He's been able to sit on the sidelines and develop BYD step by step to where it is today."

"No matter how domestic car brands change, BYD will always have a place."

"We don't need to actually enter the automotive industry; just being a good supplier is enough."

"If we master a series of cutting-edge technologies such as Xuanwu batteries, autonomous driving technology, and intelligent algorithms, manufacturers will just be working for us."

"The same principle applies to the promotion of the HarmonyOS system."

"If no brand is willing to use our HarmonyOS, then we will manufacture our own phones, since we also have advantages in areas such as chips."

After Wang Donglai's explanation, everyone immediately understood and became excited.

If Galaxy Technology really does enter the automotive and smartphone industries, with its strong technology and innovation capabilities, it will surely be able to develop in these two fields.

This is especially good news for these Galaxy Technology executives.

The more businesses Galaxy Technology operates, the more management personnel it will have, and the greater their power will be; these are mutually reinforcing.

And on the other side.

Wang Donglai and the senior executives of Galaxy Technology left decisively, completely catching them off guard.

Furthermore, Wang Donglai's final attitude left them somewhat at a loss.

Wang Donglai's attitude was too forceful; he didn't seem like a businessman at all.

There was no compromise, no discussion, just a formality.

Their relationship didn't seem like that of partners at all; it was more like that of a superior and subordinate.

However, Wang Donglai holds the patent for Xuanwu Battery technology, so no matter how dissatisfied they are, they can only suppress their dissatisfaction.

Unless they want to see their own company go bankrupt and be eliminated from the market.

"After so many years in business, I never imagined I'd encounter something like this in my old age!"

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, these conditions may not be unacceptable. They are better than being slowly eliminated."

"It was supposed to be a win-win cooperation where everyone could make a lot of money together, but Galaxy Technology came up with these conditions. I have a feeling that the cooperation might not be as good as we thought."

Upon hearing this, the boatman stood up, chuckled, and said, "I think everyone should stop pretending to be foreign guests. We all know what Galaxy Technology really means by doing this, so let's not come up with any nonsense reasons."

"I can tell you definitively that BYD has decided to engage in in-depth cooperation with Galaxy Technology."

After saying that, the boatman left without paying any attention to the others.

Zeng Qun watched the boatman's retreating figure, a resolute glint in his eyes, and immediately made his decision. (End of Chapter)
