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

"Who can introduce who this Howard is?"

"Where did this birdman come from, daring to question the God of War? He should take a piss and look at himself in the mirror."

“I looked it up, and it seems that Howard is the director of a Bald Eagle Federal Research Center.”

"What do you mean, 'country bumpkin'? Academician Howard is a top expert in the field of biology. With his expertise, it's quite appropriate for him to question the Evergreen Liquid."

"I don't know what you guys think, but I think what Howard said makes a lot of sense. The effects of the Evergreen Liquid are too powerful. It might really contain some hormones. Over time, it will definitely damage our bodies."

"Here we go again. Why is it always foreigners who discover problems? There are so many Chinese people, isn't there a single scholar who can spot them? Do they have to poison us to death?"

"Can't our compatriots in China have any conscience? Can't they make money properly instead of making this kind of money that leads to the extinction of their lineage?"

"Where did these idiots come from? You believe everything Howard says? Do you even think with your toes?"

"What a bunch of idiots! With your IQs, is there any room for them to drop any lower? I think you should just start thinking with your toes."

"I really doubt what kind of education or background you people have who still doubt Galaxy Technology even now. Can't you see through such obvious attempts to sow discord?"

"Damn it, anyone who dares to smear Galaxy Technology online is an idiot. I support my whole family by working at Xinghuo Express every month. If anyone makes me lose my job and causes the company to run out of money, I'll kill him."

"If it weren't for Galaxy Technology, where would you find such a good job? Regardless of whether there's a problem with Evergreen Liquid, its effects are obvious. This must be someone who's jealous and maliciously slandering us."

"This Howard guy can't even produce a single piece of evidence, yet he's here making slanderous accusations."

"..."

The domestic media platforms are buzzing with activity, as Howard's article has sparked a heated debate.

Beijing.

Lei Jun, who had just returned to headquarters, looked exhausted.

After deciding to enter the new energy vehicle field, he fell into a state of high-intensity work.

Even though he had been mentally prepared beforehand, he was still somewhat frightened by the high intensity of work during this period.

Although new energy vehicles are criticized as being like oversized toy four-wheel drive cars, this does not diminish their manufacturing difficulty.

From steel selection to manufacturing equipment, everything needs to be considered.

Lei Jun is a qualified entrepreneur; he knows these things, and he must understand them.

If he doesn't understand, he might be deceived by his subordinates, leading to the failure of his business.

While busy visiting other domestic car brands and learning, they also had to find suitable management for Xmi Auto.

If it weren't for convincing the shareholders and the board of directors and risking his business reputation, Lei Jun would have been tempted to give up.

too difficult.

After resting for a while in his office, Lei Jun returned to work.

To date, there has been no news of Xiaomi preparing to enter the new energy vehicle field.

Therefore, Xiaomi's stock price is relatively stable, with a slight upward trend.

After checking the company's stock price, Lei Jun then looked at the other documents.

After all, the company is already listed on the stock exchange, so the stock price is the most important thing.

During the visit, the itinerary was packed with photos, and Lei Jun didn't have much time to deal with the affairs of Xiaomi, leaving them all to Lin Bing. He only got a general overview himself.

Now that I'm back at the company, my first priority is naturally to regain management control.

Lei Jun quickly finished reading the document.

Then, they held three short meetings in quick succession to provide guidance and planning for the company's business.

Finally, when he returned to his office, he was exhausted.

"I know an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor who's really good at health preservation. Do you want me to recommend him to you?"

Lin Bing pushed open the door, looked at Lei Busi's appearance, and said with a smile.

"I'm not interested in this. It's just the beginning, and I'm a bit tired because there are so many things to do. But it should get much better once things get on track."

"Instead of going to see some old Chinese medicine doctor, you should exercise properly, that's the real solution!"

Lei Jun rejected Lin Bing's suggestion without hesitation, and instead made suggestions to Lin Bing.

Lin Bing smiled and didn't continue arguing about the topic.

"I have already reported the matter of taking photos of cars to my superiors, and they are quite supportive of it."

"But if we really want to get this license, we'll probably have to stay in Beijing."

When Lin Bing got down to business, his expression became serious.

Upon hearing this, Lei Jun's expression also turned serious.

After only a moment's thought, Lei Jun made a decision and said decisively, "No problem. Xiaomi's headquarters are already in Beijing, so there's nothing wrong with putting the factory here as well."

"Actually, if we directly acquire a car brand, it will be faster and we can also reduce some costs."

Lin Bing thought for a moment and then spoke up.

Lei Jun glanced at Lin Bing before speaking, "What you said makes sense. Indeed, if we directly acquire a car brand, we can quickly get through the initial stage, put the factory locally, and reduce some of the labor costs."

"But have you ever considered that when we acquire a car brand, we will be constrained by the existing brand from the very beginning?"

"If they were doing well, why would these brands be sold?"

"Lifan changed its name to Li Auto, Haima changed its name to XPeng, and JAC changed its name to NIO."

“These existing brand names have long been deeply ingrained in the domestic market, and it would take a huge price and cost to reverse them.”

"It is even possible that the influence of the original brand has led to low product quality and insufficient market competitiveness."

"In this way, the little money we saved in the early stages becomes completely worthless."

"Moreover, the cost of acquiring a car brand and building your own brand may be similar."

"We are going to make new energy vehicles, starting with a new market brand, and we are rebuilding our design, production, marketing, and after-sales systems from scratch."

"It's easy to draw on a blank canvas. Producing the first smart car for young people and creating products that meet their aesthetic standards is our original intention in entering the field of new energy vehicles."

"Just like when we founded Xiaomi, without this kind of perseverance, we would never have been able to develop to where we are today. We might have ended up like 360 ​​Mobile and Glitter Mobile, weathering the storms of life."

“In my opinion, it’s a good thing to move the factory to Beijing, as this way we can get more support.”

“Although there are many companies in Beijing that are bigger than us, we are in the first tier of private high-tech companies, which is still very useful in some situations.” “It’s settled then. As long as we can get the license, we will build the factory here, and it won’t be small.”

"I'll be responsible for setting up the architecture system for Xiaomi cars; these are things I'll have to handle."

Lei Jun spoke at length, expressing his thoughts.

Hearing Lei Jun say this, Lin Bing nodded and said, "Indeed, there are many advantages to moving the factory to Beijing."

"Now that you've made your decision, I'll communicate with the higher-ups to see if we can negotiate some preferential terms."

Lei Jun was delighted upon hearing this and said, "Tax incentives and industrial land are things we can discuss more boldly."

"Although we have decided to stay in Beijing, people here in Beijing may not know this. I will contact some other car brands to put some pressure on them."

"Try to negotiate as much discount as you can, and if necessary, have someone from the company step in."

Lin Bing didn't speak, but nodded, after all, this topic was rather sensitive.

After finishing discussing that matter, Lei Jun shifted the topic to Galaxy Technology.

Have you noticed a product called "Beauty Water" that's appeared on the market?

Lin Bing nodded and said, "I noticed this product when I first started selecting and trying it out."

"Galaxy Technology has come up with another amazing product!"

Lei Jun nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, Galaxy Technology is the company with the strongest R&D capabilities in China. I don't think anyone would disagree with that."

"Changqing Liquid earns hundreds of billions every year, and now they have developed a beauty water product, which has a market of at least hundreds of billions, or even more."

"Now I understand why Wang Donglai of Galaxy Technology is different from us."

"No matter how you look at it, we've all caught the wave of the times and stayed ahead of the curve, which is why we've been able to develop our company to its current state."

"But Galaxy Technology, on the other hand, uses its research and development capabilities to change the course of the times and drive the development of the era."

"In the aerospace field, the timeframe for the established manned spaceflight target has been shortened."

"In the energy sector, Xuanwu Battery has emerged and is reshaping the energy battery industry and the consumer market."

"Even e-commerce platforms, in just a few years, have become the third largest e-commerce platform in China, not far behind JD.com, which is second."

"Looking at the list, it's chilling. Fortunately, they only have some business competition with us in the smart home field."

When Lin Bing heard Lei Jun mention Galaxy Technology's achievements, a hint of amazement appeared in his eyes.

"Indeed, Galaxy Technology's achievements are truly remarkable."

"However, in my opinion, this is more of an achievement of Wang Donglai than an achievement of Galaxy Technology."

"Galaxy Technology's executives, management, and researchers at the R&D center have long been thoroughly investigated."

"The key and core technologies were developed by Wang Donglai."

"Without Wang Donglai, Galaxy Technology would never have achieved what it has today."

"The HarmonyOS system has now been installed on more than 130 million devices, and it is still growing at a rate of 260,000 per day."

"The speed of related software adaptation also exceeded expectations."

"And this is also the change brought about by Wang Donglai!"

Lei Jun added, "He is the youngest academician in China, a top international scientist who has won two Nobel Prizes in one go, and also the world's richest man."

"The key is that I'm only twenty-four years old this year, and I never dared to dream of such a thing."

"However, prosperity must eventually decline. Galaxy Technology is too dazzling, and Wang Donglai has achieved too much. Naturally, the opportunities and dangers he faces will also increase. It remains to be seen whether he can overcome them."

"If you manage to get through it, you might really become a hero who creates an era. If you don't, you'll probably only stay at this level."

Lei Jun clearly saw that Wang Donglai's situation was already very dangerous.

Like an iron chain across a precipice, a slight misstep will plunge you into the abyss, and all your previous efforts will be in vain.

The reasons for this situation are complex.

There are reasons related to Galaxy Technology Co., Ltd., market changes caused by technological upgrades, and ideological factors, among others...

To be honest, it was only after being given a few pointers by a wise person that Lei Jun realized Wang Donglai's dangerous situation.

The water here is too deep; he doesn't dare to wade in.

Wang Donglai is protected by a series of prestigious titles, such as being a top international scientist and academician, which he does not possess.

Even with all these honors, Wang Donglai could still be vulnerable if he made a careless mistake, allowing others to exploit his weaknesses.

"Yes, such a young world's richest man..."

Lin Bing could guess part of it and sighed in agreement.

"We should focus on our own development, and many people have already started to bet on the development of new energy vehicles."

"This is a maximum of three years, an opportunity for new players to enter the market. Once missed, it will never come again."

"It might not even take three years."

"Xuanwu Battery is really too illegal. Fortunately, the cost has not yet come down, so there is still some room for development for the time being."

"However, if we fail to establish a firm foothold within this period, it will be tantamount to declaring our failure."

"Going forward, I will focus most of my energy on Xmi Auto, and I will leave the group's affairs to you."

"Of course, I'm not completely washing my hands of things. You can handle the general business, and important business will be decided by senior management meetings, which I will attend when I have time. As for important and urgent business, contact me directly, regardless of the time."

"This battle can be described as a do-or-die situation for me, and also for Xmi Group."

"We can probably only go this far with smartphones. Apple and Huawei are ahead of us, firmly blocking our development space."

"To break through the predicament, we must find another way. Smart home ecosystem is one, but there is also Galaxy Technology, and new energy vehicles are another way."

"New energy intelligent vehicles transform automobiles into a new spatial carrier, thereby creating a complete business ecosystem."

"If this path can be successfully navigated, our future will be bright, and we won't have to worry about the smartphone market anymore."

"It's not impossible that by then, the smartphone business will become an adjunct to the new energy vehicle business."

Listening to Lei Jun's grand promises, Lin Bing, despite having known him for so many years and developing a resistance to them, couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. (End of Chapter)
