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

Xinghuo Express has grown rapidly. Since it lowered its prices and launched the "10 Billion Yuan Subsidy" campaign, e-commerce orders have surged.

Festivals like 618 and Singles' Day aren't established because of the numbers themselves, but rather because merchants launch promotional activities at the same time, which is why they are accepted by people.

Pin Yidao didn't hold any special date events; it simply used a money-spending tactic to seize the market.

The results were naturally quite remarkable.

This was not a problem for competitors Taotian Group and JD.com, who followed suit without hesitation.

Every e-commerce event is a feast for the express delivery industry.

But this time it was different.

Although the number of orders has increased due to the lower unit price of express delivery, the profit margins of express delivery companies in Tonglu have all declined in order to cope with the offensive of Xinghuo Express.

To say it's "declining" isn't quite accurate; a more accurate description would be "negative profits."

Not only is the unit price low, but the treatment of deliverymen also needs to be improved.

As a result, it's impossible for profits not to be high.

Galaxy Technology has deep pockets and can continue to operate indefinitely.

However, the Tonglu group did not work out. They tried to persuade Xinghuo Express to stop their conflict and make peace, and share the market.

However, Xu Zhibin, who had already been in a car accident, naturally wouldn't agree.

Yu Jiao, in particular, was the main target of the attack, and his losses were far greater than those of the other three companies.

Left with no other option, the group had to file a complaint with their superiors.

The express delivery industry is, after all, a sector with many job opportunities, so when the authorities receive complaints from these companies, they have no choice but to take a stand.

As a result, a leader sent a letter to Galaxy Technology, preparing to hold a conference for the express delivery industry in Tangdu City.

The reason for choosing Tangdu City as the location is quite obvious.

Therefore, Wang Donglai did not refuse.

That day has come.

Wang Donglai then brought Xu Zhibin to the meeting place.

Actually, Wang Donglai shouldn't have come at all.

The person in charge of Xinghuo Express is Xu Zhibin. Although it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yinhe Technology, it is not Wang Donglai's place to step in when something goes wrong.

However, everyone knows that Wang Donglai is the real decision-maker, and Xu Zhibin is just an executor.

In addition, since the higher-ups had given him face, Wang Donglai couldn't very well not show up.

Have you found out the content of this meeting?

Wang Donglai casually asked Xu Zhibin.

Wang Donglai didn't care about such trivial matters at all, and he didn't bother to have Wa collect them.

Xu Zhibin had done a good job of preparation and immediately replied, "Boss, the leader who came from Beijing this time is Director Deng Ming of the Post Office."

"The recent drop in express delivery prices has caused considerable losses for the Tonglu group. They must have joined forces to complain to higher authorities, which is why things turned out this way."

Wang Donglai smirked and said, "It's far more than that."

"What you said is only one aspect. We have lowered the price of express delivery, with the minimum order price being only one yuan. This actually has an impact on the postal service's express delivery business as well."

"Aren't price wars common in the country?"

"We've only been fighting for a short while, and people from above have already arrived."

Wang Donglai's political science subject level is already very high, so he can see through the trickery at a glance.

So, I said it now.

Upon hearing Wang Donglai's words, Xu Zhibin suddenly realized what was going on.

“The boss is right. The Tonglu-based express delivery companies had a price war before, and we didn’t see any intervention from above. But we’ve only just started, and people from above have already come.”

"It's simply that they were indifferent because their own interests weren't harmed before, but now that they've suffered losses, they're jumping out and can't stand it anymore."

After realizing this, Xu Zhibin couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he asked in a low voice, "Boss, what should we do?"

Wang Donglai chuckled softly but didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Xu Zhibin felt relieved and at ease.

With Wang Donglai here, what does he have to worry about?

Soon, the two entered the conference hall.

There are actually quite a few courier companies in China.

In addition to courier companies, there were also representatives from logistics companies.

Before Wang Donglai came in, they sat together in twos and threes chatting.

But when Wang Donglai and Xu Zhibin walked in, it was as if a mute button had been pressed, and the conference hall fell silent in a very short time.

It's safe to say that almost everyone in China knows Wang Donglai.

Not to mention those who are in business and have the opportunity to sit here.

The world's richest man! The founder of Galaxy Technology!

Everyone was incredibly surprised to see Wang Donglai appear here.

Given Wang Donglai's current status, he shouldn't be here at all.

Using the analogy of using a cannon to kill a mosquito is not an exaggeration at all.

Although everyone was shocked, no one came up to greet Wang Donglai.

Many people were still cursing Wang Donglai and Xu Zhibin in their hearts.

The price reduction by Xinghuo Express and the salary and benefits of its delivery staff are issues that they really resent. The former is manageable, but the latter is what truly makes them hate Xinghuo Express.

Disrupting the market and maliciously increasing employee benefits is simply thievery for bosses.

Of course, such voices have been heard frequently since Galaxy Technology grew into a large company.

Wang Donglai was aware of these voices, but he never paid them any attention.

Wang Donglai had barely sat down when several people from the Tonglu faction came over.

Yu Jiao led the way, his face clearly showing displeasure.

Judging from their demeanor, they seemed to be looking for trouble.

Upon seeing this, Xu Zhibin immediately stood up and blocked Yu Jiao and the others from approaching.

"Mr. Wang, we are all Chinese people, there's no need to go to such extremes."

"Galaxy Technology wants to enter the express delivery industry, that's fine, but there's no need for us all to die."

"They even say that Boss Wang wants to monopolize the express delivery industry, leaving no room for anyone else to make a living."

Yu Jiao's tone was calm, but his words carried a clear malice.

The sound was quite loud and clearly carried throughout the conference hall.

Wang Donglai had already attracted most people's attention.

Now that this has happened, everyone's attention has shifted to this scene.

Wang Donglai sat leisurely in his chair, glanced at Yu Jiao, and casually asked, "Who are you?" Upon hearing this, Yu Jiao's face immediately turned red, and her eyes flashed with anger.

Not to mention Yu Jiao, even Chen Jun and the others following behind did not expect Wang Donglai to react this way.

Xu Zhibin immediately grinned, his expression full of sarcasm.

Those who had been listening intently couldn't help but laugh as well.

Yu Jiao's face twitched, and he suppressed his anger, saying, "President Wang is a big shot, it's normal that he doesn't recognize someone as insignificant as me..."

Before Jiao could finish speaking, Wang Donglai added, "Since you know you're just a nobody, why did you come here? If you want to apply for a job, you can submit your resume to the official website."

Lore!

Wang Donglai's tone was calm and indifferent, and coupled with the imposing aura he exuded, he directly overwhelmed Yu Jiao, even though he was sitting down.

"Ahem, Mr. Wang, I'm Nie Yun from Yunda Express."

"Spark Express has driven down the price per parcel, leaving virtually no profit. Why don't we sit down and discuss making money together?"

Nie Yun coughed lightly twice, stepped out from behind Yu Jiao, and spoke.

Wang Dong glanced at Nie Yun, then at the other three, before speaking up: "Are you implying that Xinghuo Express bullied you?"

Nie Yun shook his head in denial.

“Price reduction is a business competition tactic. Don’t say that Mr. Nie has never used this tactic before. In market competition, business tactics are all about each person’s own ability.”

"Spark Express entered the market late, so we're lowering prices to be on good terms. I think everyone can understand that!"

Wang Donglai remained calm and composed, showing no respect for Nie Yun whatsoever.

"Mr. Wang, what you're doing is pointless. We're all in this to make money, so we can raise prices together. Your company has orders that are heavily weighted towards you, so you're not worried about the market. There's really no need for a price war."

At this moment, Chen Jun from Shentong also stepped forward and spoke up.

"Yes, Mr. Wang, let's make money together. I know Mr. Wang has a big business and looks down on us, but it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy."

At this moment, Lai Song from ZTO Express also offered a word of advice.

Wang Donglai listened to the three talking, but had no interest in replying.

"Xu Zhibin, you're in charge of Xinghuo Express, why don't you talk to them?"

Xu Zhibin nodded, looked at the group, and said, "I'll say it again: Xinghuo Express's price reduction is a normal market business practice. If you can't continue, you can sell the company to me. I can guarantee a reasonable price."

Xu Zhibin's words immediately enraged Yu Jiao.

Because of Xinghuo Express's deliberate targeting, Yuantong's business has declined significantly, at least three times more severely than the other companies.

Yu Jiao naturally knew that this was because Xu Zhibin had found out about what she had said, and therefore was deliberately targeting her.

But he didn't actually do anything; he just made a casual remark, and he was targeted because of it. He was already furious.

Seeing Wang Donglai's attitude and hearing Xu Zhibin's reply, he could no longer contain his anger and said pointedly, "Mr. Xu, young people shouldn't be too impetuous sometimes. You should know to leave a way out for others so that you can meet again in the future. Has Mr. Xu not learned his lesson after what happened in Tianjin?"

Xu Zhibin narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them, and looked at Yu Jiao, saying, "If you're not arrogant, you're still a young man!"

"Can I take what Mr. Yu said today as a threat?"

"If Mr. Yu can't compete in the business world, he can use other means as he pleases. If I even flinch, I'll consider all these years of my life wasted."

After seeing Xu Zhibin's reaction, Yu Jiao subconsciously glanced at Wang Donglai, only to be startled by Wang Donglai's expressionless face.

Saying such things in this context is truly irrational.

He originally wanted to find an opportunity to reconcile, not to escalate the conflict.

As a result, in the heat of the moment, they ended up here.

He felt deeply remorseful and wanted to take back his words and apologize.

But when he noticed the crowd around him out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't bring himself to do it, so he could only stand there stiffly with a blank expression.

Upon seeing this, Wang Donglai muttered softly, "Useless!"

Yu Jiao's eyes immediately bulged, and he took a step forward, but he was not as fast as Chen Jun and the others.

Chen Jun and the others instinctively surrounded Yu Jiao, holding him firmly in place, fearing that Yu Jiao might act impulsively and cause trouble.

It wasn't that they had a good relationship, but rather that they were worried that Yu Jiao would completely anger Wang Donglai, causing them to suffer as well.

After being stopped by Chen Jun and his group, Yu Jiao calmed down a bit and gave up his plan to take action.

He understood that if he made a move in Tangdu City, on Galaxy Technology's home turf, he wouldn't come out unscathed.

Not to mention Wang Donglai's influence; if he were to retaliate, with a legitimate reason, it would be considered that Wang Donglai was being too lenient by causing Wang Donglai's bankruptcy.

"What are you all doing here?"

At that moment, a majestic voice rang out.

It was Deng Ming from the post office who strode over, looking at Yu Jiao and the others with a displeased expression.

It's clear that someone has already quietly informed Deng Ming about what happened here.

"Mr. Yu, you look like you're about to start a fight. Are you planning to do it right here?"

Deng Ming turned his gaze to Yu Jiao's face and questioned him.

Upon hearing the question, Yu Jiao's face twitched, and he casually made up an excuse, saying, "Director Deng is joking. I just came here to chat with General Manager Xu of Xinghuo Express."

Deng Ming was naturally not fooled by Yu Jiao's excuse.

He was resting backstage, but when he heard that Wang Donglai was coming over in person, he couldn't sit still and came over.

On the way, they heard staff report that Yu Jiao and his entourage approached Wang Donglai in a menacing manner.

He was naturally aware of the competition between the Tonglu Group and Xinghuo Express.

This courier industry exchange meeting, though called an exchange, was actually triggered by the recent price war in the courier industry.

Therefore, even a fool could tell that Yu Jiao and his group had ill intentions.

Deng Ming didn't want to cause trouble at this event, so he rushed here. When he saw the situation, he first breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a slight displeasure towards Jiao and the others.

"The meeting is about to begin, so why aren't you all sitting down yet!"

Deng Ming glanced at the group and said in an unfriendly tone.

Faced with Deng Ming, the leader of the unit directly under their management, Yu Jiao and the others naturally couldn't maintain their composure and retreated awkwardly.

After they left, Deng Ming's face immediately lit up with a smile. He turned to Wang Donglai and greeted him, saying, "President Wang, I didn't expect you to come in person."

"Director Deng, you're too kind. Xinghuo Express is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yinhe Technology. This meeting is being held in Tangdu City, and as the boss, I'd like to see what my peers think and what instructions our superiors have."

Wang Donglai said in a calm tone.

Deng Ming's rank is not low; he is a vice-minister, just like the principal of Tangdu City.

However, at this moment, in the eyes of many people, the two seemed to be equals, and Wang Donglai even seemed to be slightly superior.

"Mr. Wang, today's meeting is to better promote the development of the domestic express delivery industry. Galaxy Technology's establishment of Xinghuo Express is a good thing. It not only creates jobs but also changes the industry, which is commendable."

Deng Ming praised him with a smile.

Upon hearing Deng Ming's words, Wang Donglai said, "Then I thank Director Deng for his praise."

With so many people in front of him, Deng Ming didn't say much. After a few brief pleasantries, he went up to the stage. (End of Chapter)
