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

There is a kind of heroism in loving life even after recognizing its harsh realities.

Wang Donglai knew this saying in his previous life.

I was given a second chance at life, thanks to the system.

He repeatedly repeated this sentence to himself to strengthen his resolve.

He had long anticipated situations like Wu Qingsong personally visiting him today.

He even considered people of higher status than Wu Qingsong.

However, unexpectedly, this scene only appeared at this time.

This only appeared after Galaxy Technology's valuation exceeded one trillion.

"Donglai informed me that I've heard you've read many books. I wonder if you've read the Tangdu City Gazetteer?"

Wu Qingsong smiled and suddenly asked, "What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this question, Wang Dong confidently replied, "I have seen it, but I don't know which aspect the leader is familiar with?"

"Oh, I didn't expect Comrade Donglai to have actually seen it. You should remember the day Tangdu was liberated that year, when the shop owners on West Street spontaneously donated most of their wealth. This wasn't to pay protection money to our soldiers, but to support the country's perseverance."

"Just like everything you've always done, it's all been for the good of this country, and the leaders above and I are aware of that."

Politicians are never willing to speak too plainly.

It's as if saying it too clearly would lose its elegance.

But they never considered that those who thought officials were speaking tactfully were not actually the audience.

Just like now, Wu Qingsong said these words, and the meaning behind them is quite obvious.

That was to comfort Wang Donglai, to point out his contributions, and to show that the higher-ups had not forgotten him.

"Sir, I personally don't have a strong desire to possess wealth."

Wang Donglai said calmly.

Wu Qingsong also became serious. Looking at Wang Donglai, he said, "In my heart, I definitely hope that Galaxy Technology will grow bigger and better. Because, in the past two years, thanks to the existence of Galaxy Technology, the economy of Tangdu City, the entire Qin Province, and even the Northwest has improved to a certain extent."

"I don't know how many people have been able to find work and support their families right here in the last two years without having to go to coastal cities to work."

"Pin Yi Dao's efforts to help farmers have not only increased the income of countless farmers and improved their living conditions, but also provided the market with better and more agricultural products."

"In the aerospace field, the aerospace engines developed by your company have directly propelled our aerospace industry to the world's first-class level, and have also built a space station in the sky. Now, you are accelerating the timeline for manned lunar landing missions."

"Products such as Evergreen Liquid and Evergreen Eyes are best-selling all over the world and have generated huge profits."

"Academician Wang, your breakthroughs in the field of mathematics have greatly enhanced our confidence in the academic community and strengthened our academic voice."

"Needless to say, the Xuanwu battery is driving the development of a new era of new energy batteries, impacting all of humanity, and its significance is extremely profound..."

"The application of quantum computing and artificial intelligence technologies has already had a significant impact and has played a major role in our social development."

“If we were to list your achievements, Academician Wang, they would be numerous and of great significance.”

"If you are just a pure scientist, then you will inevitably be the greatest scientist of this era."

"But you also have another identity: the founder of Galaxy Technology."

"In the business world, you have built a trillion-dollar giant spanning multiple business areas in just a few years."

"This achievement is actually no less impressive than your academic accomplishments."

"Galaxy Technology has more than 400,000 employees, which makes it a huge company."

“From my perspective, I believe in and strongly support your control of Galaxy Technology. However, some people think that entrusting the control of a super giant, the lives and fortunes of hundreds of thousands of employees, and the safety of thousands of upstream and downstream companies to you is an extremely risky thing.”

“You own more than 90 percent of Galaxy Technology’s shares, which is something you should have rightfully earned. But things have changed since Galaxy Technology has grown to this point.”

"Given Galaxy Technology's size, what may be just a business downturn could have a magnified economic impact due to Galaxy Technology's unique position."

"The Northwest is an economically weak region. Being inland, the higher authorities have always demanded that we prioritize stability. When the economy is unstable, other problems are very likely to arise, which is something the higher authorities will not allow."

"According to reliable sources, the Bald Eagle Federation has passed the 'China Company Review Act,' which is a weapon specifically targeting our companies, and you are their target."

"Sometimes, I can't believe you're only twenty-four years old. You're so young."

"At this age, you have already achieved so much. If you were given several more decades, it would be unimaginable what kind of achievements you would have made."

“The West will not sit idly by and watch all of this happen smoothly, and you will become the weakest point and be targeted by them.”

Hearing this, Wang Donglai chuckled inwardly.

He already knew all this. If the domestic environment weren't so safe, and if he hadn't completely offended overseas capital, someone probably would have already taken action against him.

Of course, there's also the fact that he doesn't often appear in the public eye, and that he has Wa's protection.

"I've come here to be a villain."

"Some things just have to be done by someone."

After saying these two sentences with emotion, Wu Qingsong took out a document from the briefcase he always kept by him.

"Comrade Donglai, I have a restructuring plan here regarding the shareholding arrangement of Galaxy Technology. What do you think?"

As he spoke, he pushed the document to Wang Donglai.

Wang Donglai frowned slightly, but didn't open his eyes. Instead, he looked into Wu Qingsong's eyes and said seriously, "Boss, is the higher-ups unwilling to support Galaxy Technology's employee stock ownership plan?"

Wu Qingsong hadn't expected that even after he'd said so much, Wang Donglai would still be bothered by this.

"In principle, employee stock ownership is not allowed. Back then, Chrysanthemum was granted special approval by the leadership because of the special circumstances and special treatment."

“Originally, after Chrysanthemum, no company like this would be allowed to appear in China, but Galaxy Technology is just too different.”

"Therefore, the leadership has made a special approval this time to allow the implementation of employee stock ownership at Galaxy Technology, but under a different name. I hope Comrade Donglai can understand this."

Wang Donglai didn't say anything, he just nodded slightly.

Looking at the document in front of him, he opened it and began to examine it.

The shareholding reform plan contains many details.

However, with Wang Donglai's abilities, he quickly extracted the key information.

This shareholding reform plan is very interesting!
This was Wang Donglai's internal evaluation after reading it.

According to this shareholding reform plan, Wang Donglai's shareholding will decrease from 90% to 25%.

Of the remaining shares, 20% will be given to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Qin Province, 15% will be controlled by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Qin Province, 15% will be controlled by the employee stock ownership platform as employee dividends, 20% will be controlled by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Beijing, and the remaining 5% will be used as a reward pool for senior executives of Galaxy Technology.

In terms of shareholding arrangements, Wang Donglai remains the largest shareholder of Galaxy Technology and retains veto power.

Furthermore, they didn't take the shares from Wang Donglai for nothing; they received compensation.

The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commissions (SASACs) didn't acquire these shares without offering anything in return; they all contributed something. While Wang Donglai was reviewing the restructuring plan, Wu Qingsong stared at him for a long time, trying to deduce his thoughts.

However, after watching for a while without being able to discern anything from Wang Donglai's face, Wu Qingsong gave up.

"Knowing how much Academician Wang values ​​scientific research, I have already communicated with provincial leaders and Galaxy Technology will be designated as a 'specially managed science and technology enterprise,' directly connecting with core departments in Beijing."

"In addition, Tangdu City is preparing to officially and publicly grant you the titles of Chief Technology Advisor and Economic Advisor."

"Finally, I joined forces with the provincial and educational institutions to secure a school-running qualification for Academician Wang. Academician Wang can combine the educational resources of Tangdu City, and even the educational resources of the entire province, to establish a school. All funding and research expenses will be prioritized and met immediately."

When Wu Qingsong said these things, there was a hint of envy in his tone.

Because such conditions are simply too outrageous.

Wu Qingsong had never heard of it before.

But now he's saying it out loud.

However, he believes it is entirely worthwhile.

They even treated Wang Donglai somewhat unfairly.

After all, Galaxy Technology's value is undeniable.

They just took away so many shares from Wang Donglai without giving any compensation. How can that be acceptable?

It just so happens that Wang Donglai has achieved some academic success, so it makes perfect sense to use the compensation for this.

After Wu Qingsong finished speaking, Wang Donglai put down the documents in his hand, looked calmly at Wu Qingsong, and said, "Sir, is that all?"

For some reason, Wu Qingsong felt a chill run down his spine when he heard Wang Donglai's calm tone, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

However, he immediately banished this ominous premonition from his mind.

"besides!"

As he spoke, Wu Qingsong took out another bottle of wine from his briefcase!

"Donglai, this bottle of Xifeng 1956 was specially approved by Rong Shuai for Tangdu Electronics Institute when the experts from the northern big brother left. I brought it here today to make an exception and open it for you."

"I just want to ask you one question: Do you want to be a lone hero enshrined on a pedestal, or a reform comrade who joins hands with millions to rewrite history?"

By the end of his speech, Wu Qingsong's expression had become extremely serious.

Upon hearing Wu Qingsong's introduction, Wang Donglai turned his attention to the bottle of Xifeng 1956.

After a long while, Wang Donglai finally spoke up and asked, "Leader, how should the credit for Galaxy Technology's development be divided?"

Wu Qingsong didn't want to answer the question, but Wang Donglai stared intently into his eyes, making it impossible for him to look away.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Qingsong finally spoke up and said, "The signal here has been blocked, so I won't go on with those high-sounding platitudes."

"I believe the greatest credit goes to the government and policymakers. Without a stable market, there would be no stable businesses and commercial activities. I don't think Academician Wang would disagree."

"Secondly, I believe it is the law, and the role of the law is beyond doubt."

"Finally, there's the company founder; if you're standing in the right place at the right time, even a pig can be blown away!"

"If you catch the wave of the times, even a fool can get rich."

“I may not be saying the nicest things, but these are my honest thoughts.”

Wu Qingsong spoke very directly, but Wang Donglai was not angered by it.

"The leader is indeed very direct."

After making a comment, Wang Donglai continued, "I agree with the policies and regulations that the leader mentioned."

"However, I have a different understanding."

"Because these things are all virtual, conceptual."

"A company can be said to be lucky, to have caught the wave of the times, or to have met market demands if it is able to develop."

"But no matter what kind of business it is, it must have workers and consumers."

"Therefore, in my opinion, the greatest credit for the development of a company comes from its employees and consumers."

"Without employees, raw materials will not automatically become products; without consumers, business activities cannot continue."

"That's why I improved employee benefits at Galaxy Technologies."

"An employee has this identity within the company, but outside the company, he or she becomes a consumer."

"Galaxy Technology will not produce a single product that requires its own employees to work themselves to the bone."

"To be honest with the leadership, I had the employee stock ownership plan in mind from the very beginning."

“I offer my employees high benefits and high salaries not because I’m kind-hearted, but because I believe it’s the right thing to do. I’m just doing the right thing.”

Hearing this, Wu Qingsong had a general idea of ​​what Wang Donglai was going to say.

He just couldn't believe it!

This shareholding reform plan came from Beijing.

Although their opinions and those of Qin Province were sought.

By the time it reached him, it was almost the final version.

He never imagined that Wang Donglai would object or disagree.

Everything was fine before, and Wang Donglai had been very supportive.

Why did it suddenly turn out like this?
Wu Qingsong's mind was in turmoil.

However, Wang Donglai continued speaking.

"I neither agree nor approve of this shareholding reform plan."

“I can reduce the shareholding to 25%, but I cannot accept that the total shareholding of all employees is only that small.”

"Galaxy Technology currently has over 45,080 employees, which are its greatest asset."

"I don't want to become someone who breaks their promises."

"Furthermore, I do not agree that it is reasonable for all the shares to be distributed to the local State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commissions."

"Because this could affect the normal operation of Galaxy Technology."

"That concludes my statement, sir."

After Wang Dong finished speaking, the conference room fell silent. (End of Chapter)
