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

As we all know, my country has a population of 1.4 billion, making it the world's most populous country.

An average person may not know more than 10,000 people in their entire life.

Therefore, the world is very big.

However, for those who have built a business to a certain level, the world is actually quite small.

Because of the six-digit theory, people in this world can be connected through a maximum of six people.

This is especially true in the country.

Galaxy Technology has achieved its current success, with a large number of partners as well as a large number of competitors.

However, Galaxy Technology has always taken too steady a path, making it difficult to identify any major problems.

Even if there were some problems, Tangdu City and Qin Province stepped in to resolve them.

However, even so, it did not improve the relationship between Galaxy Technology and some domestic tycoons in the slightest.

For example, the Liu family.

Now, the competition sparked by Galaxy Technology in the food delivery and express delivery sectors has brought these people together.

Huangtuan owns shares in Tencent and also shares in a courier company.

Taotian Group has also acquired Ele.me, and its Cainiao Network is a core business.

From this perspective, Galaxy Technology has already offended Tencent and Taotian Group.

With the emergence of Pin Yi Dao, Taotian Group's hatred for Yinhe Technology is no less than that.

Demon City.

Inside a high-end, private club, a group of people are having a meeting.

Anyone who pays attention to the Chinese internet will find that there are just too many big shots here.

Not to mention the CEOs of STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express, Pony Ma and Jack Ma also appeared here.

There are also some domestic venture capital firms here.

"Alright, enough of the unnecessary words. We all know why we've all come together today."

"Although we don't interact much normally, we all make money in China, so we see each other all the time."

"Unlike some people, he doesn't care about feelings at all."

"This time, we'll teach him a lesson he won't forget."

Liu Zhi, sitting in the middle, spoke first.

From the very beginning, Liu Zhi saw the potential of Galaxy Technology, so he wanted to invest money in it.

However, to their surprise, Galaxy Technology rejected them outright.

I originally thought that Galaxy Technology would realize the need for investment after it hit a wall.

Unexpectedly, Galaxy Technology's development went so smoothly that it had no shortage of money and its business continued to thrive.

In the meantime, Liu Zhi also joined forces with domestic and foreign venture capital institutions to continuously increase the valuation of Galaxy Technology from several billion to tens of billions.

However, without exception, they were rejected by Galaxy Technology every time.

Watching such a big dark horse slip away like this, Liu Zhi was furious.

If you had invested at the beginning, your investment would probably have increased dozens or even hundreds of times by now.

They didn't earn the money they could have made.

It's easy to imagine how furious Liu Zhi was.

However, Galaxy Technology is firmly tied to Tangdu City and Qin Province, and Wang Donglai is not someone who actively participates in external activities.

He is also a top international mathematician and scientist, which further enhances Wang Donglai's reputation.

After Liu Zhi finished speaking, the private room immediately fell silent.

"Everyone is in business, and the emergence of Xinghuo Express and Pinhaofan has indeed harmed everyone's interests."

"Both of these companies are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Galaxy Technology. It is precisely because we have a common enemy that we have come together."

"Everyone should be well aware of the situation at Galaxy Technology."

"If we really throw money at the problem without any regard for the consequences, I doubt anyone here will have a good solution."

“But if we get together, the situation is different.”

After Liu Zhi finished speaking, Wang Xing immediately jumped out and said, "Indeed, Galaxy Technology's actions are clearly damaging the business environment."

"He can offer such high salaries to his employees simply because he relies on the high profits brought by the monopoly in other industries."

"If it weren't for Evergreen Liquid, Beauty Water, and Douyin, where would he get the money to do this?"

"If Galaxy Technology is allowed to develop unchecked, it will eventually harm everyone's interests."

"Judging from Galaxy Technology's development philosophy, he and we are not on the same page at all."

"Now, Galaxy Technology can enter the food delivery industry, it can enter the express delivery industry, and it can also enter other industries in the future."

"With Galaxy Technology's massive cash flow and abundant talent pool, it is entirely possible to achieve this."

"A man who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present. Just like before, who would have thought that Galaxy Technology, a perfectly good high-tech company, would actually venture into industries like food delivery and express delivery? Even if it were to diversify its business, it should have been something like real estate."

"Given Galaxy Technology's position in Tangdu City, it is entirely possible."

"But Galaxy Technology not only did not do that, it was extremely resistant. Even after acquiring the land, it only built some employee housing."

"In terms of corporate culture and founder's philosophy, we and Galaxy Technology are completely different types."

"If Galaxy Technology is allowed to continue developing as it is, I think many companies will disappear."

"Don't forget that Galaxy Technology's HarmonyOS, coupled with the Xuanwu battery, has effectively given it a foothold in the domestic smartphone market and the new energy vehicle market."

"With this advantage, Galaxy Technology can easily build an industrial cluster centered around Galaxy Technology."

"What this means, I think everyone should be very clear about."

"This is very likely everyone's last chance."

Wang Xing said a lot, and at the beginning, everyone was just there to watch the show.

Because the hottest news online right now is about Huang Tuan.

They could all see the weariness and age that Wang Xing could not hide in his expression.

Even Wang Xing's lips were slightly inflamed.

But when they heard the rest, everyone's expression changed.

What Wang Xing said is indeed true.

No one is stupid. After a little thought, following the clues provided by Wang Xing, they can see that what Wang Xing said is not false.

In an instant, everyone's expression changed.

At that moment, Little Mark glanced at Jack Ma.

As if by unspoken agreement, the two exchanged a glance and immediately understood each other's thoughts.

"Ahem, since everyone's here, let's skip the formalities."

"Tencent has decided to inject another 1 billion yuan into Huangtuan, and together with other investment institutions, invest a total of 2 billion yuan to fight this price war."

"Furthermore, we will invest an additional 500 million yuan in the express delivery sector."

"At the same time, we will also join forces with Mr. Ma of Taotian Group to form a strategic partnership and advance and retreat together."

"In the food delivery and express delivery sectors, we should form a united front and offer equal preferential conditions to consumers and the market."

"If necessary, our two companies will take the lead together and join forces with Mr. Liu and other domestic investment institutions to contribute funds."

"This is a commercial war without gunfire."

"For most of you here, you can only win, you can't afford to lose."

As soon as Little Ma said those words, everyone's expressions turned serious. At this moment, Jack Ma also spoke up.

"We've all come from fierce business competition, and we all know that the business world is like a battlefield. Once the competition starts, there's only one outcome."

"Now that everyone is sitting together and talking things out, there are fewer concerns."

"The food delivery and express delivery industry is simple in some ways and difficult in others. It all boils down to one core issue: funding."

"We have the first-mover advantage and a very good chance of winning."

"No matter what, Galaxy Technology is a latecomer. It won't be easy for them to compete with us for the market."

Jack Ma is indeed a teacher; he's eloquent and persuasive.

His words both inspired and put pressure on everyone.

After he finished speaking, everyone in the private room nodded in agreement.

……

Everyone moved quickly.

At the same time, the three major express delivery companies (STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express) jointly announced price reductions.

We will lower the price of our express delivery to the same level as Xinghuo Express.

Upon hearing the news, all the major businesses were overjoyed.

Previously, only Xinghuo Express lowered the price, but because Xinghuo Express has a limited scale and many merchants have strict requirements for delivery time, they had no choice but to choose the original courier.

Watching others save money while you can't do anything about it is an unbearable feeling.

Now that STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express have also lowered their prices, merchants across the country are excited.

I wish the price war between Xinghuo Express and the three major express delivery companies (STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express) could continue and drive prices down even further.

The actions of STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express go beyond these.

In order to completely suppress Xinghuo Express, they also launched a campaign to improve express delivery services, requiring couriers to deliver to the door and maintain high-quality service.

To incentivize outstanding employees, a bonus of 300 yuan was awarded to outstanding deliverymen.

Once the selection is successful, the prize will be awarded.

However, this incentive policy was met with widespread ridicule.

Because this outstanding employee award requires selection, there is no fairness whatsoever.

The deliverymen below simply couldn't believe it would fall on their heads.

If it were just like that, it would be fine.

In contrast to outstanding employees, a blacklist was also created.

If an employee receives negative reviews, they will be listed and fined; if the number of negative reviews exceeds a certain threshold, they will be fired.

This immediately angered the employees below.

Aside from newbies who've just started out, and delivery drivers who've been working for a while, everyone knows what their own company is like.

Negative reviews result in fines, and complaints about idiot customers are countless.

Now they're demanding the same service attitude as Xinghuo Express, with smiling service, but they refuse to raise wages, so they just use an outstanding employee as an example to make empty promises.

A mere three hundred yuan? That's ridiculous.

Not to mention, after the courier companies announced price reductions, the number of orders on shopping platforms also increased significantly.

This created a situation.

That means more work, less money, and stricter requirements.

On the other hand, news about the treatment at Xinghuo Express had already spread.

Those with keen awareness immediately switched jobs to that company.

Once the pool of applicants is full, those with a knack for it will go directly to cities where the pool isn't full to apply for jobs.

On one hand, there's Xinghuo Express, with its high salaries and good benefits; on the other hand, there's their stingy former employer. There's no need to choose.

In just a few days, a large number of deliverymen have switched jobs.

If STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express hadn't announced price reductions, it would have been fine.

However, simply lowering delivery prices without increasing deliverymen's income naturally caused deliverymen who were initially hopeful and observing to give up and switch jobs to Xinghuo Express.

Also thanks to the absence of labor contracts, it's very easy for people to switch jobs; all they need to do is change their clothes.

The only troublesome part is joining Xinghuo Express. You need to sign a contract, undergo a pre-employment medical examination, go through training, and have a one-month internship before you can become a full-time employee.

Even so, Xinghuo Express's treatment was much better than before.

So even with all this trouble, these deliverymen who switched jobs can accept it.

Xinghuo Express has been expanding.

Customer service representatives, delivery drivers, freight drivers, sorting clerks...

Each batch involved hundreds of people, a very large undertaking.

They spared no effort in preparing delivery vehicles and other equipment.

Orders have been signed with domestic brands such as Dongfeng, Chenglong, Jiefang, and JAC.

The most recent order was for more than 2,000 light trucks, more than 1,000 medium trucks, and more than 500 high-sided trucks.

In addition, new sites are opened every day.

Transit warehouses and sorting warehouses are also being built and developed in cooperation across the country.

From more than 500, the number of people reached more than 800 in less than a month.

It really is true in a nutshell: he spends money like water.

In terms of market share alone, Xinghuo Express has already become a second-tier player.

It's not too far from the three major express delivery companies (STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express).

However, Xinghuo Express's development goals are far beyond what the "Three Tongs and One Da" (STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express) can stop.

According to Wang Donglai's goals, he also plans to purchase his own cargo planes to provide more efficient express delivery services.

At the very least, cargo planes and routes must exceed tailwinds.

Wang Donglai was not joking about his goal of capturing half of the national express delivery business.

Xu Zhibin did not treat this goal as a joke, but seriously worked towards it.

……

In the food delivery sector.

Huangtuan and Eleme also launched a counterattack.

Aside from platforms under Galaxy Technology, there are no longer any discussions about "Life Against the Grain," and even uploading videos of "Life Against the Grain" has become a violation.

Not only that, but a large number of media outlets have also begun to discuss the irrationality of "Life Against the Grain".

Criticisms included illogical plot design and malicious portrayal of women.

Numerous complaint letters were sent to film and television management authorities, demanding the removal and banning of the film "Life Against the Grain".

On one hand, Huangtuan and Ele.me have also started a price war, offering discount coupons to users.

In response to the large number of negative comments appearing online, the authorities directly issued warnings via lawyers and issued clarifications.

Of course, with such a large amount of attention, Huangtuan and Ele.me couldn't just do these things.

Offline, with the support of behind-the-scenes capital, Huangtuan and Eleme invested heavily to correct some obviously illegal practices.

Meanwhile, relying on the power of the capital behind them, they are also lobbying the authorities, hoping to gloss over the matter lightly. (End of Chapter)
