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

Anshui County.

As Wang Donglai's hometown, it has benefited from his fame ever since he became famous.

First, the education system received recognition and awards from higher authorities because of Wang Donglai's educational achievements.

As a result, less than two years later, Galaxy Technology, founded by Wang Donglai, emerged in the domestic market like a dark horse.

Wealth and honor do not return home, just like walking in brocade at night!
Chinese people have this sentiment, so for the first two years, Wang Donglai would return to Anshui County every year to celebrate the Spring Festival.

Every time Wang Donglai returned, he never came back empty-handed.

They could either invest tens of millions of yuan in their hometown to improve the county's educational environment, or set up scholarships to support impoverished students.

As Galaxy Technology's business grew and it became more and more wealthy, it built a factory in Anshui County, creating 1,000 jobs.

In addition, the "Ten Thousand Villages, Ten Thousand Products" initiative, launched by Pin Yidao, immediately included Anshui County in its key list.

A large influx of funds, coupled with the improvement of supporting facilities.

In just two years, the economy of Wang Donglai's hometown, Anshui County, has seen a significant boost.

Look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face.

Even BYD and other partners in Tangdu City would deliberately recruit some employees from Anshui County when hiring workers for their factories.

Anshui County was originally a small county with a population of only a few hundred thousand.

Aside from those with secure jobs, there are also those who are too old or engaged in business.

The remaining working-age population can all find a job.

With a job and a stable income, the economic situation naturally improved a lot.

October.

The entire Anshui County became extremely lively, with a large number of vehicles gathering and leaving.

When we arrived, the place was empty; when we left, it was packed full.

The truck was loaded with mountain produce and some minimally processed agricultural products.

Chestnuts, walnuts, wood ear mushrooms, corn, etc...

These products are all from the "One-Stop Deal" agricultural assistance program.

From the very beginning, with the support of the leaders of Anshui County, it was promoted throughout the county.

Furthermore, agricultural experts were invited to provide guidance, improve varieties, implement refined planting methods, and enhance quality.

Farmers don't make money because agricultural products have very low economic value when they are first produced.

It's like a potato. You can easily harvest thousands of kilograms from an acre of land, but when you sell it, you can only get one yuan per kilogram, or even less.

But if you go to the supermarket, the premium quality items will cost four or five yuan, while the average quality items will cost two and a half yuan or more.

There are too many intermediaries, each making money at every level, so by the time it reaches the consumer, the price has increased several times over.

This situation has existed for a long time.

A bottle of Nongfu Spring mineral water costs two yuan, and a pound of corn costs one yuan.

One liter of core industrial petroleum costs six thousand yuan.

That's why Wang Donglai specifically set up two directions when launching preferential policies to help farmers.

One approach is to focus on mass production and high volume with low profit margins.

The other is to focus on high-end, premium products, emphasizing all-natural and pollution-free ingredients.

The former requires a certain foundation in agriculture, such as a large land area and a high degree of agricultural intensification.

The latter, however, is much more lenient.

Without a doubt, Anshui County is the latter.

However, when agricultural products from Anshui County are listed on the Pinduoduo platform, they are marked with a green certification label and are priced several times higher than similar products.

For example, the free-range eggs from Anshui County are priced at about five times that of ordinary eggs on the market.

This applies to local pork, corn, potatoes, wheat, and so on.

Logically speaking, this approach would be easy for someone to find loopholes in, such as buying ordinary eggs from the supermarket, putting them in chicken manure, and then selling them at a high price.

Wang Donglai had anticipated this.

With surveillance coverage, every free-range egg must be labeled and recorded under surveillance.

These surveillance videos are managed by Wa, so there's no need to worry about them being replaced.

It's impossible to say that no one had any designs on it.

However, as soon as you start making a move, the staff of Pin Yidao will immediately contact you by phone and ask you to return it for changes.

Gradually, even the most skeptical people had to give up on the idea.

Anshui County compound.

In the conference room of the office building.

"As of last month, the county's GDP exceeded 2 billion yuan, and the total investment reached 700 million yuan."

"Among them are a cold storage plant, a primary agricultural product processing plant, and a packaging plant that Pin Yidao is planning to build."

"It is estimated that it can create more than 1,500 jobs."

"..."

Inside the conference room, someone was reporting on the county's work achievements.

Upon hearing these achievements, everyone present looked astonished.

Although they could feel that Anshui County's economy was getting better day by day, they did not expect the situation to be this good.

It's important to know that Anshui County is a nationally designated poverty-stricken county, and also a small county town nestled in the Qinling Mountains.

This "smallness" is reflected in all aspects: small area, small population, small arable land, and low economic output.

In the past, we have had to rely on transfer payments to survive.

The county has a population of over 100,000, with a resident population of just over 100,000.

The rest of the people seek a living in other regions. If their hometowns could provide employment, they would not have left their homes.

But now.

Not only did the people working on the construction sites outside rush back, but...

Even some young people have returned and started small businesses.

Although they are just milk tea shops, snack shops, and small restaurants, their contribution to the economy is significant.

Otherwise, Anshui County, with a population of over 100,000, would not have been able to generate 2 billion yuan in the past ten months.

"There are three things to discuss at the meeting today."

"The first thing is the expansion of urban schools that was proposed earlier, which will bring together the county's top teachers to improve the quality of education."

"The second thing is to carry out shantytown renovation work in the old residential areas of the county town."

"Finally, there are county-level tourism resource development projects."

Chen Wei, the chief administrator of Anshui County, directly raised the topic of this meeting.

"I think the expansion of schools in the urban area is a good thing. Since our county has been able to cultivate a Wang Donglai, it proves that our county's education level is not bad. As long as we actively support education and increase investment in education, I believe that the county's education level will definitely reach a new level."

"Indeed, we have reached a cooperation agreement with Tangdu Jiaotong University on education and training. With the support of Tangdu Jiaotong University's teaching resources, I am confident that we will be able to achieve results."

"There are only about 20,000 school-age children in the whole county, and they need to be divided into different educational stages. By expanding the school campus, we can accommodate more students, enjoy better educational resources, and thus cultivate more talents. From a long-term perspective, this is a project that benefits the present and future generations."

"Although we are a small county, we have excellent resources, which we should make good use of to build a strong county in education."

Regarding the first issue, everyone readily expressed their agreement and offered their opinions. Hearing this, Chen Wei couldn't help but smile.

"The shantytown renovation work in the county is indeed urgent. No matter what, this is still a county town, but the architectural style is still from the last century. There are no high-rise buildings, and the lighting project is not in place. Such living conditions do not meet the people's yearning and pursuit for a better life. Therefore, the shantytown renovation work is extremely necessary."

"Indeed, as times change and technology advances, people's pursuit and demands for a better life will become higher and higher. Living in high-rise buildings with elevators and heating are things that have long been common in big cities. We have been settled here for so many years, it's time for us to catch up."

"With economic development, the permanent population in urban areas is increasing, and we also need to carry out urban planning. Urban renewal is imperative."

The second item was also quickly and smoothly passed.

Compared to the first one, anything involving shantytown renovation means a large amount of money and opportunities to make money.

Expropriation, auctions, infrastructure construction, renovations...

Every step of the process presents numerous opportunities to make money.

Previously, Anshui County was not developing well, and land could not be sold at a good price, so there was not much enthusiasm for shantytown renovation.

But things are different now. With development getting better and better, everyone has money in their hands. Once the shantytown renovation project is launched and high-rise residential buildings are introduced, it will definitely make a fortune. It can also boost employment and related industries from top to bottom.

As for the third topic, no one spoke for a long time.

The development of cultural and tourism resources is different from the previous two.

High investment, high risk, low return.

However, after a while, someone spoke up and said, "Phoenix Mountain in our county has beautiful scenery, with unique peaks and steep valleys, and can definitely be considered a top-notch tourist attraction."

"In addition, our county is only a little over 100 kilometers away from Tangdu City, and there is a highway connecting us, so we can definitely accommodate a large number of tourists from Tangdu City."

"Given the current development of Tangdu City, as long as we do a good job in receiving tourists, we will surely be able to increase our popularity and attract more tourists. Therefore, I believe that the cultural tourism project is feasible."

The director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau immediately stepped forward, praising the initiative and expressing strong support.

“The development of Phoenix Mountain requires too much investment and takes too long. In addition, the county is launching multiple projects at once, which puts too much pressure on the funds. I think we can postpone this project.”

While some agree, others will naturally disagree.

Seeing that there were differing opinions, Chen Wei spoke up and said, "Since there is controversy, let's suspend the cultural and tourism project issue and discuss it again later."

"That concludes today's meeting. Everyone, please go and prepare according to your assigned tasks."

With Chen Wei's statement, the meeting came to an end.

In a small county town, interpersonal relationships are simple, yet connections are very close.

What happened at the meeting had spread by evening.

Everyone knows that urban renewal and school expansion are planned.

Stakeholders and others alike became extremely excited.

With Wang Donglai's example as a precedent, who wouldn't want their child to also achieve great success and a brilliant future through education?

Even if someone isn't as good as Wang Donglai, having a good degree can still help them get into Galaxy Technology and earn a high salary, which is acceptable.

Therefore, the expansion of schools in urban areas has naturally attracted a lot of approval and praise.

And there wasn't much opposition to the shantytown redevelopment project.

Indeed, the economy has developed rapidly in the past two years, and everyone has more money in their hands.

Naturally, people want to improve their lives, either by rebuilding their houses or by buying cars.

Now, the direct redevelopment of shantytowns and the construction of high-rise buildings naturally pleases everyone.

Who wouldn't want to live the same urban life and enjoy the same conveniences back in their hometown?

……

What happened in Anshui County is only a very small part of the changes brought about by Galaxy Technology.

After this period of development, Xinghuo Express has initially established itself.

As I said before, in the logistics industry, as long as you're willing to invest money and have business, it's easy to succeed.

Hiring staff, buying vehicles, renting venues—as long as management is in place, production can begin quickly.

October marks the official start of Xinghuo Express's expansion.

As soon as they took action, they immediately drove down the price of express delivery.

For a 2.5 kg package, the minimum delivery fee starts at three yuan.

This move directly disrupted the previously fixed market share of express delivery.

As a rising star, Xinghuo Express does not have a high market share in the entire express delivery industry.

Some major clients have already been signed by STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express.

If it weren't for Pinduoduo deliberately giving orders to Xinghuo Express, relying on conventional methods and no matter how much money they poured in, they might not have been able to succeed.

But things are different now.

Xinghuo Express is backed by Galaxy Technology and also receives orders from Pinduoduo, the third largest e-commerce platform in China.

Now, they've dumped such a low price on it.

The entire market descended into chaos.

For any business that survives for more than a year, the monthly shipping costs are at least several thousand, or even tens of thousands.

Now, Xinghuo Express has directly driven down the price.

As a result, the larger the customer, the more inclined they are to cooperate with Xinghuo Express.

Because the savings in shipping costs add up to a significant amount.

Moreover, Xinghuo Express has Galaxy Technology as its backer, so even if something goes wrong with the package, Xinghuo Express can afford to compensate, so there's no need to worry.

that's it.

After announcing this price, Xinghuo Express became an instant hit in Hangzhou, Yiwu, Shenzhen, Shanghai and other cities.

It's a very simple mathematical calculation.

If you ship more than 100 items per day, you can save 150 yuan.

That adds up to four thousand five hundred yuan a month.

Not to mention, there are special offers once the daily shipment volume exceeds one hundred items.

The more you ship, the cheaper the express delivery price becomes.

In any case, Xinghuo Express's prices are significantly lower than those of established express delivery companies like STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express.

It's obvious they're here to grab market share.

By offering low prices, we can open up the market and capture users.

These are all old tricks used by shopping malls.

Almost every industry does this when hiring new people.

Therefore, e-commerce companies did not hesitate at all and immediately joined Xinghuo Express.

What's left is all profit, and they're not going to turn down money.

They even secretly hope that these courier companies will fight tooth and nail to the death and desperately lower their prices.

In this way, they can gain a huge advantage and reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

Xinghuo Express previously gained popularity in the industry due to its generous employee benefits.

But that was only within the industry, and its influence was not yet significant.

Now, however, it is precisely because of its low prices that it has truly made a name for itself in the e-commerce and express delivery industries. (End of this chapter)
