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

"Don't ask me why I'm kneeling to watch the video!"

"Can anyone tell me why such a cool robot would have such an awful name!"

"To be honest, I was completely stunned when I saw the robot micro-carve the 'Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion' on a grain of rice!"

"It's over, the jeweler will have to change professions overnight!"

"The material cost is five million, and the selling price is twenty million. This robot is more expensive than gold!"

"I knew Galaxy Technology wouldn't hold a technology summit for no reason. Turns out they were hiding such a big move!"

"The technology summit is still two and a half days away, and who knows, there might be even more amazing technologies coming out later!"

"To be honest, that's actually quite possible!"

"Galaxy Technology, forever a god!"

"I knew it! Galaxy Technology wouldn't let us down!"

"If this robot weren't so expensive, I would definitely buy one!"

"I suddenly had a bold idea: could Galaxy Technology's robots be customized?"

"Please elaborate on your idea, upstairs. Do you want one made of silicone...?"

"Good heavens, your ideas are terrifying!"

The technology summit held by Galaxy Technology this time has attracted everyone's attention and generated a lot of buzz online.

The emergence of such a powerful robot technology has naturally caused a stir across the internet.

If it were just a simple technological shock, that would be fine.

Unfortunately, Wang Donglai brought up the question of whether robots would replace human workers at such an important occasion.

Even now, before robots can fully replace human jobs, many people are already worried about this.

Now that Galaxy Technology has produced such a powerful robot, it's understandable to have such concerns.

Wang Donglai's actions surprised everyone even more.

Not only did they not intend to use robots to generate greater commercial profits, but they also publicly announced at this event that they would not use robots to do low-value jobs or compete with ordinary people for jobs. Instead, they would use robots in a more dangerous and technologically advanced field.

The news immediately sparked a frenzy of discussion among netizens across the internet.

However, on the other hand, the impact of breakthroughs in robotics technology goes far beyond these.

There are quite a few companies in China engaged in robot research and development, including government agencies, universities, and private enterprises.

Such as the Shenyang Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Shanghai Robotics Industry Technology Research Institute, the Harbin Institute of Technology Robotics Group, Siasun Robot & Automation Co., Ltd., Zhejiang University, Tianjin University, Wudaokou University, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics...

Few of these enterprises, companies, and research institutes attended this technology summit.

However, they received the news immediately after Galaxy Technology's robot was exposed.

The performance of Galaxy Technology's robots was simply too exaggerated and too amazing.

Micro-carving the "Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion" on rice is not impossible, provided the balance is achieved and the programming is done well.

But backflips, acrobatic performances, and swordplay demonstrations—those require real skill.

Mechanical structure design, motion control and coordination, intelligent perception and cognition, intelligent control and learning capabilities, human-computer interaction, and other issues—each of these is a major undertaking if listed individually.

As a result, Galaxy Technology produced this product without any difficulty whatsoever.

There's no need for comparison; Xiaozhi's debut on stage completely outshone all the laboratory products.

The only consolation for them was that the material cost of the robot exceeded five million, which meant that large-scale production would be impossible for a considerable period of time.

This is the only good news in a bunch of bad news.

on site.

This technology summit naturally has special arrangements, including food and accommodation.

At this point, Wang Donglai's status and position meant there was no need for any further formalities.

After stepping down from the stage, he returned to the headquarters of Galaxy Technology.

Many of the entrepreneurs attending this summit simply delegated the reception duties to their senior executives.

Given the scale of their operations, they are more than qualified to host them.

……

In a room, Jack Ma sat with Liu Zhi, Wang Xing, and others.

They will naturally be present at this technology summit.

As mentioned before, Galaxy Technology is growing larger and larger, and its influence at home and abroad is increasing day by day.

Suddenly, news broke that a technology summit was to be held.

Almost everyone who hears the news will come to participate, unless they are really unable to get away.

As it turned out, they were right and their trip was worthwhile.

This is only the first day, and it's not even over yet, and Wang Donglai has already given us such a big surprise.

No one knows whether Galaxy Technology has prepared six, or even more, surprises like this.

It was no coincidence that Jack Ma and the others sat together.

They all share a common trait: they compete with Galaxy Technology in the business.

Jack Ma's Taotian Group has seen its growth rate slow down significantly due to the impact of Pin Yi Dao, and many of its data have shown a continuous decline.

Chen Wei's Didi is backed by the Liu family and Tencent. Although there is no direct business conflict with Galaxy Technology at present, the autonomous driving technology that Galaxy Technology is developing in Tangdu City still has a significant potential impact on Didi.

Needless to say, Wang Xing's competition with Huangtuan and Pinhaofan was fierce. In just a few months, Huangtuan had spent billions of yuan to subsidize consumers and improve the treatment and income of delivery drivers.

In addition, Chen Jun and others were in the same situation.

The atmosphere in the room was very tense, and no one was in a hurry to speak.

Everyone had mixed feelings.

"Since everyone is sitting here and we all know each other, there's no need to hide anything."

"Business competition is business competition. If you lose, you have to accept it. You absolutely cannot have any other thoughts."

"Protecting the interests of the entire industry is the principle that allows us to continue to grow our business."

"I don't care what you think. Price wars are fine, poaching talent is fine, even cognitive warfare is fine, but you absolutely cannot do anything illegal. There must be a bottom line!"

"The domestic market is huge. Although Galaxy Technology is powerful, it is impossible for it to monopolize every industry."

"Moreover, I think everyone understands that Galaxy Technology's approach is the most righteous approach, not something done to deliberately seize market share."

Sometimes, taking a step back doesn't necessarily mean there's no chance of survival!

"Since we're all friends and have a close relationship, I'll stop here. You can all think about the rest yourselves."

"I won't stay here with you all any longer, I have some things to attend to!"

Jack Ma was the first to speak. Jack Ma was originally a teacher and was eloquent.

Adding to the fact that Taotian Group is also the largest e-commerce platform in China, and considering Jack Ma's other businesses, it's no exaggeration to say that he is one of the leading business figures in the country. Having been involved in the Chinese business world for so many years and having a wide network of connections, it's clear that his words are sincere.

"Mr. Ma, there's no need to leave in such a hurry!"

"We're all family here, and it's not easy to get together like this, so this is a rare opportunity."

"We didn't say anything we shouldn't have done. It's just that this technology summit was so unexpected. Let's sit down together and analyze it. There shouldn't be anything wrong with that!"

When Liu Zhi saw that Jack Ma was about to leave, he immediately spoke up to persuade him to stay.

Upon hearing Liu Zhi's words, Jack Ma withdrew his foot that had been about to step out.

He still had to give Liu Zhi some face.

Once seated back, Jack Ma immediately took control of the conversation, focusing on the current technology summit.

"To be honest, this technology summit may seem abrupt, but it's actually quite normal."

"You should know that Galaxy Technology has developed a lot of cutting-edge technologies since its establishment. Without these cutting-edge technologies, Galaxy Technology could not have developed so quickly and well."

"The reason why people don't understand why Galaxy Technology is holding such a technology summit this time is actually very simple: Galaxy Technology is going to spin off its subsidiary for listing."

"Furthermore, Galaxy Technology has grown to a point where it can no longer be hidden and is bound to undergo a comprehensive review."

"Instead of doing that, it would be better to stand up openly and showcase your own technology."

Jack Ma, the founder who built Taotian Group to its current status, clearly understands Wang Donglai's methods.

This explanation prompted everyone to subconsciously nod in agreement.

indeed!

"The problem isn't those things. Galaxy Technology's technological research and development capabilities are too strong, and they're overwhelmingly strong."

"Just like this robot, once Galaxy Technology's robot came out, other companies' robots were directly eliminated, without any power to fight back."

"To be honest, it's only because I'm not involved in the robotics industry that I'm not sitting still right now."

Liu Zhi, a business tycoon who had built his company up, naturally understood Jack Ma's meaning and continued.

"If it's just about strong technical capabilities, that's fine. We all see each other all the time, and we're all Chinese, so there might be opportunities for cooperation."

"But so far, it seems that Galaxy Technology has only received 5 billion from Lei Jun alone."

“Wang Dong is more protective of the shares of Galaxy Technology Group and its subsidiaries than of a woman; he is absolutely unwilling to part with even a single penny.”

"Even if they want to go public, they'll probably try to implement something like employee stock ownership with dividends and restrict capital injections."

“Mr. Ma, it’s not that I’m being blunt, but Wang Donglai is simply not one of us.”

"Bridges are bridges, roads are roads; there's probably no room for cooperation between us!"

As Liu Zhi spoke, he observed Jack Ma's changing expression.

When Liu Zhi mentioned Lei Jun, a hint of regret flashed in Jack Ma's eyes.

Back then, he wasn't without opportunities.

He missed it twice, and then he never had another chance.

It's not that this opportunity is particularly lucrative, but rather that having this opportunity means becoming one of Galaxy Technology's own people.

In many situations, being considered one's own person is more important than how much money one has.

Therefore, upon hearing Liu Zhi say this, Jack Ma couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

However, this fleeting feeling of regret was quickly suppressed by Jack Ma.

What's past is past; we absolutely cannot let it affect the future.

Jack Ma composed himself and then asked, "What does President Liu mean?"

Liu Zhi's extensive foreshadowing was certainly not without purpose.

Wang Donglai also wanted to hear what Liu Zhi had to say.

Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Zhi said directly, "Mr. Ma, let's not beat around the bush."

"More friends mean more paths; fewer enemies mean fewer walls to block your way."

“I know that Mr. Wang from Galaxy Technology is not on our side and there is business competition between us, but I think these are things that can be discussed.”

"We are all Chinese, and we have every reason to unite and work together to expand the market."

"What do you think about us all working together and collaborating with Galaxy Technology?"

Everyone present was stunned.

After hearing Liu Zhi's previous words, everyone thought that Liu Zhi was planning to call on Jack Ma to work together on Galaxy Technology.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhi actually wanted to take Jack Ma to discuss cooperation with Galaxy Technology.

Jack Ma reacted quickly and understood Liu Zhi's actions.

"President Liu, it's not very useful for you to just say that to me!"

"As far as I know, Galaxy Technology has made significant breakthroughs in autonomous driving technology. It's not impossible that they will enter the ride-hailing industry, and given Galaxy Technology's track record, it's not out of the question whether they will also venture into computers and other electronic products!"

"With 1.4 billion people in China, there is ample room for several e-commerce platforms to coexist, and our user profiles are also different, with different precise customer groups."

"As for the food delivery business, it's even simpler. It's just a part of our larger community and has never been our main business."

"So, for me, it's not in such a hurry!"

Liu Zhi laughed, having seen through Jack Ma's plan.

"Mr. Ma, you may have misunderstood me."

"If this price war continues, no one will benefit; it will only be a waste of money."

"Instead of doing that, we might as well stop fighting and make peace in the food delivery and express delivery businesses, or set a bottom line and compete within that bottom line."

"I don't think that Mr. Wang from Galaxy Technology would give me such a big favor."

"This suggestion is beneficial to us, isn't it?"

Jack Ma fell into deep thought and began to ponder.

indeed!

Although Ele.me is not its main business, it still has to spend hundreds of millions of yuan every month to retain a portion of the market share.

If we don't spend money, our market share will disappear rapidly, and Ele.me, which we spent so much money to acquire, will become a complete joke.

But Jack Ma was unwilling to increase his investment, fearing it would be a waste.

Now, hearing Liu Zhi say this, a glimmer of hope appeared in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, Jack Ma said, "Since President Liu has said so, it would be really disrespectful of me to refuse. Let's do as President Liu says!"

Upon hearing Jack Ma's reply, everyone present couldn't help but smile.

Jack Ma still holds his golden status and halo, and his domestic standing is still quite high.

In their view, with Jack Ma's involvement, the chances of persuading Wang Donglai would be much greater. (End of Chapter)
