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

The three major express delivery companies (STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express) acted swiftly.

That afternoon, they announced to the public that they would lower the price to one yuan.

Furthermore, regardless of weight, goods weighing less than one kilogram and those weighing less than ten kilograms are priced the same.

The moment these prices were announced, it immediately displeased the owners of express delivery stations across the country.

Because the three major express delivery companies (STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express) only mentioned the decrease in express delivery fees, but did not mention their revenue.

According to the previous distribution ratio, they would earn one yuan for each delivery.

As a result, now that STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express have reduced their delivery fees to one yuan, they naturally can't make a profit of one yuan.

Now, the delivery fee for each order has been reduced to 80 cents.

This price alone has already made it impossible for many delivery drivers to continue working.

Do a simple math problem.

A courier's daily phone bill is a cost, and each delivery costs one cent. In addition, a young man needs to earn at least two hundred yuan to make a profit from delivering packages.

Now, you can only earn about 50 cents per delivery, and you have to deliver at least 400 orders a day.

This is simply not possible.

At the current efficiency, we can only process a maximum of two hundred orders a day.

Therefore, it means that if couriers from STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express deliver packages to the door, they may not even be able to make a stable income of 100 yuan a day.

At that price, very few delivery drivers would be willing to accept it.

This is why a large number of delivery drivers are changing jobs.

This also led to a large backlog of packages at the stations.

The service quality has not only not improved, but has plummeted to an unprecedented level.

When STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express announced price reductions.

Xu Zhibin then received the news.

Although it was a car accident, fortunately it wasn't too serious.

At this critical moment, Xu Zhibin did not hesitate and continued to work despite his illness.

"I didn't expect them to have the guts to lower the price on their own initiative. I underestimated them."

"But this boldness is still far from enough. If they could just lower it to 50 cents, I would give them a thumbs up."

Xu Zhibin said with a cold smile.

The price reduction strategies of STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express were exactly what Xu Zhibin had expected.

Because the express delivery industry is inherently a capital-intensive and investment-intensive industry.

As long as you're willing to spend money, you can definitely capture a portion of the market share.

As for when the money invested will be recouped, that depends on each person's abilities.

Sitting in his office chair, Xu Zhibin thought for a while.

He then opened the internal platform to check the status of the "Fight for a Paycheck" game.

Pinduoduo has now firmly established itself as the third largest e-commerce platform in China.

Whether it's registration volume or daily active users, it's not much different from JD.com, which ranks second.

Even Xu Zhibin, an outsider, could see that it probably wouldn't be long before they completely overtook JD.com and became the second largest e-commerce platform in China.

Unlike Taotian Group, Pin Yidao has a larger order volume, even though the unit price is lower.

With over 600 million registered users, more than 54 million daily active users, a daily order volume of over 15.7 million, and sales exceeding 850 million yuan.

The staggering number of orders naturally led to a massive surge in express delivery orders.

It can be said that the reason why STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express are still hesitant to completely break ties with Xinghuo Express is because of the possibility of a direct confrontation.

After all, at that time, the daily express delivery volume across the country was about 50 million pieces, and Pinduoduo alone accounted for more than a quarter, almost a third.

Of these orders, after deducting those from JD.com, SF Express, and China Post, very few are left for express delivery companies like STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express.

Therefore, more than half of the business volume of STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express is provided by Pinduoduo.

That is why they dared not make any rash moves.

If they really anger Galaxy Technology and they cancel their cooperation, then they'll be in real trouble.

Even if they dare not cancel all of them, canceling only one is still possible.

Nobody wants to be the one to take the blame for others.

After reviewing the data, Xu Zhibin closed his eyes and pondered for a while.

A high-level meeting was then convened.

"The three major express delivery companies (STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express) have lowered their minimum delivery prices, so we don't need to follow suit."

"Since they're willing to do it, let them do it."

"The task before us now is not to keep lowering prices, but to accelerate the training of personnel and the construction of the logistics system to improve efficiency."

"The express delivery industry is a service industry. It is about the quality and level of service, not just about low prices."

"And that's even more true for us at Xinghuo Express."

“During this period, our staff expansion has been too fast. Many people were working at STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express one second, and then switched jobs to us the next second.”

"They don't have a concrete understanding of our corporate culture or our management style."

"Currently, we have more than 100,000 couriers nationwide, which is a lot."

"So far, I have seen quite a few problems reported here."

"These problems are obvious; they are caused by our relentless expansion and neglect of management."

"Furthermore, many people have forgotten the mission of our Spark Express."

“These situations have already begun to emerge, and we must nip them in the bud.”

"Therefore, we will maintain this price for the foreseeable future and will not deliberately lower it."

"I need to focus most of my energy on staff training and the development of the express delivery system to improve efficiency and service quality."

"For example, if it's home delivery, we need to ensure authenticity and give consumers a comfortable experience."

"Courier items must be handled gently and without damage."

"Improve efficiency. It would be ridiculous if a package took five or six days to arrive on the road."

"The group has invested so much money so that we can change the express delivery industry, rather than simply seizing the express delivery market. This is very important."

"Next, everyone should divide into their own areas and go down to conduct on-site supervision and inspection."

"If you find a problem, then solve it for me."

"If none of you can solve this, then report it to me. If I can't solve it either, there's the group above you."

"In short, we must do a good job in express delivery, improve efficiency, and enhance service quality."

"As for whether it's the price reductions by STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express, or their attempts to seize merchants, we will not pay attention to that for the time being."

"Once we've sorted things out internally, it will be their end!"

"Do you have confidence?"

Xu Zhibin finished speaking in one breath and assigned tasks to everyone.

Xu Zhibin is the youngest member of Xinghuo Express's management team.

However, at this moment, Xu Zhibin's aura was at its strongest.

The lower management was not much surprised by the imposing manner that Xu Zhibin displayed.

After all, they all knew Xu Zhibin's other identity: Wang Donglai's classmate.

An absolute confidant.

Otherwise, given Xu Zhibin's age, even if he were a second-generation rich kid, it would be impossible for him to be appointed to such an important position right away.

Only Wang Donglai would dare to do this.

Outside, countless people envy and are jealous of Xu Zhibin and his group of young people who graduated from Tangdu Jiaotong University.

Despite lacking sufficient ability, he became a trusted confidant and rose to a high position at a young age simply because he knew Wang Donglai. Therefore, no matter how envious or jealous they were, no one dared to show any dissatisfaction.

……

Time just passes slowly.

The food delivery industry is fiercely competitive, and most netizens are enjoying the benefits of capital investment.

E-commerce companies across the country have seen a surge in profits due to lower express delivery fees.

Time flew by and it was already the end of November.

Wang Donglai chaired a meeting at Galaxy Aerospace.

Countdown ceremony for manned lunar landing mission.

Really.

When Galaxy Technologies proposed to carry out a manned lunar landing, no one in the country, or even the world, believed that Galaxy Technologies could do it.

Because the leap was simply too big.

Galaxy Technology has only been in the aerospace field for a few years, yet it has already developed world-class aerospace engines.

In the field of rocket launches, they have also achieved complete success in more than 20 missions without a single failure.

And the first attempt to build a space station in space was also a success, even though the space station was located in a more distant place.

Each of these events, taken individually, is enough to be discussed and boasted about online for a year.

But at Galaxy Technology, it seemed like a natural progression.

What we say, we do!
Originally, a cooperation agreement had been reached with the national aerospace team to jointly explore the moon.

As a result, they broke up due to ideological conflicts and disputes over interests.

Galaxy Technologies unilaterally announced that it will conduct a manned lunar landing attempt by the end of this year.

This change is happening far too fast.

Furthermore, the timeframe is too tight.

Even the national team needs that much time; no matter how amazing Galaxy Technology is, it can't possibly take even less.

However, this is just the outside world's opinion.

The staff at GalaxySpace, however, thought differently.

They were all holding their breath, wanting to prove themselves.

Those who came to Galaxy Aerospace were either like Zhang Xiaoping, key personnel in their original units, but were not valued.

They are either skilled individuals who are ostracized because they lack social skills.

Now that they've come to Galaxy Aerospace, they can fully utilize what they've learned.

After Wang Donglai made this decision.

Although they weren't very optimistic about it, they still resolutely chose to strive and work hard in this direction.

A scholar will die for one who understands him; a woman will adorn herself for one who is insightful.

This is a principle that Chinese people are actually very clear about.

The offer GalaxySpace made was enough to make them do that.

At Galaxy Aerospace, their salaries have increased at least three times, and some have even increased tenfold.

Not to mention, the numerous benefits offered by Galaxy Aerospace were something they had never experienced before.

Various subsidies and holiday bonuses.

There are also benefits for their families.

At the same time, the company has also put a real effort into respecting these engineers in its daily management.

Respect and support them fully.

As long as they have real skills, the company is willing to offer them corresponding compensation.

Of course, research and development in high-tech fields cannot rely solely on the enthusiasm of researchers.

This brings us to Nuwa.

As the only truly artificial intelligence in the world.

Although limited by computing power and hardware constraints, Wa was unable to unleash its full potential.

Even so, there was still much that Nuwa could do.

Take, for example, the research and development of aerospace technology.

When researchers are unable to solve many problems, they upload them to the internal platform.

This platform is actually a bounty platform.

You can get a cash reward as long as you can answer the questions.

This is also a way for Galaxy Technology to enhance employee cooperation and technical exchange.

Nuwa used this method to solve the problems of these engineers.

Over time, the company also became aware of the existence of an exceptionally skilled expert.

However, many people mistake this Nuwa for Wang Donglai.

With the assistance of Wa, Galaxy Aerospace has developed at an extremely rapid pace.

They have money, talent, and support from above.

Tangdu City has always been an important city for aerospace technology.

Therefore, Galaxy Technologies' rocket research and development and manufacturing have not been significantly affected.

In this way, a miracle was created without the outside world knowing.

That is, in just six months, Galaxy Aerospace has built a super-large rocket capable of landing on the moon.

This rocket was developed entirely based on the Hercules rocket engine.

The functions and facilities inside were all designed by Nuwa herself.

Manufacturing and production are also carried out by factories under Galaxy Aerospace.

Apart from some of the equipment and technology which came from the national team, the rest was completed independently by GalaxySpace.

In order to make up for the time and do this task well.

The staff of Galaxy Aerospace all chose to work overtime like crazy.

They only get one day off a month and work a minimum of twelve hours a day.

Aside from eating, sleeping, and using the restroom, I'm completely immersed in work.

This work ethic and spirit are something that even Galaxy Aerospace couldn't stop.

Finally, as a last resort, they had no choice but to mandate daily working hours and hire a large number of medical staff to conduct daily physical examinations on the employees to prevent any problems from arising.

Overtime pay is top-notch, and the food and logistics services are top-notch.

Amidst a fervent atmosphere of unity and determination, the countdown to the manned lunar landing mission has begun.

Although Wang Donglai has always been busy, he has never neglected this aspect of his work.

Although he didn't personally intervene, he always provided immediate assistance whenever technical difficulties arose.

Although Nuwa was powerful, she was still inferior to Wang Donglai in some aspects.

The power of artificial intelligence lies in the 'omniscience' brought by its databases, but when it comes to creativity, it still falls short of the top human level.

The reasoning is quite simple: humans can create artificial intelligence.

However, artificial intelligence cannot create artificial intelligence.

This illustrates the gap between humans and artificial intelligence in terms of creativity.

Even so, Nuwa's abilities still surpassed those of 90.999% of humanity in this world.

Perhaps only the most brilliant human minds could surpass Nuwa.

For example, Einstein, Gauss, and Wang Donglai! (End of Chapter)
