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

After reaching an agreement, Wang Donglai left the reception room and handed over the rest of the matter to Xu Zhibin.

The price has already been agreed upon, so there's no need for Wang Donglai to handle the rest.

Back in his office, Wang Donglai began reviewing the company's data.

The People's Congress Group, with hundreds of thousands of employees, spans multiple business areas.

Any founder would worry about being misled by their subordinates and losing sight of the true situation.

Just like Li Hong of Baidu.

However, Wang Donglai was not worried about this at all.

With Wa's presence, while it's impossible to say that she can monitor every single employee, wherever there is data flow and information generation, no one can escape Wa's supervision.

After all, all these little tricks eventually come down to money.

As long as this step is managed well, there shouldn't be any major problems.

After spending ten minutes reviewing the daily data of all the subsidiaries under the entire group, Wang Donglai closed the backend.

After thinking about it, he contacted Huang Zheng through the internal work platform.

"How's PinYiDao's IPO plan going?"

Wang Donglai asked Huang Zheng.

Huang Zheng reported with a happy expression: "Boss, after the news spread, more than ten securities firms have come to ask for cooperation and to take over our listing work."

"Hmm, has the matter of listing on the Growth Enterprise Market been discussed?" Wang Donglai asked.

"As we've already said, although there were some objections, in the end they had no objections and were willing to listen to us!"

"However, it will have some impact on the issue price."

Wang Donglai waved his hand dismissively and said, "A low issue price is not a problem."

"Our business is still growing; we have never relied on low prices and cost-effectiveness to survive."

"Although we did develop based on this when we were founded."

"But now, we must change our approach."

"Relying solely on low prices is not a sustainable strategy. We don't prioritize profit, but that doesn't mean we completely ignore it either."

"Modern agriculture, green agriculture, and ecological agriculture are our new core."

"We have already laid a considerable foundation by supporting agricultural products and helping farmers."

"Next, we will increase our investment on this basis."

"With the support of technology, we can develop more and better green agricultural products. High-quality ecological products will always be bestsellers."

"We can't match JD.com's advantages in the 3C field, nor can we match Taotian Group. Taotian Group's brand advantages are also something we can't catch up with. Every e-commerce platform needs its own moat and characteristics, and our characteristics absolutely cannot be tied to low prices."

"Green agriculture is our new direction."

"Next, we will set up more supermarkets and community fresh food stores across the country, working in conjunction with our Xinghuo Express to complete the industry loop."

"Remember, our supermarkets and community fresh food stores do not target the low-end market; instead, we actively screen our customers."

"Product quality must be strictly controlled, and prices should not be deliberately driven down. There should be sufficient profit while ensuring employee welfare."

"Good products deserve good prices!"

"The reason why many of our products are priced low is because we eliminate the middlemen, not because we deliberately lower the price."

"Deliberately driving down prices is a form of involution, and this behavior is absolutely unacceptable!"

"In short, just develop in this direction, is that alright?"

After Wang Dong finished speaking, he looked at Huang Zheng, waiting for his reply.

Huang Zheng would certainly not do something foolish at this time.

Wang Donglai's idea had already been revealed, and he had even leaked it to the public, poaching many senior executives from supermarket companies such as Walmart.

It's obvious that this is about to be a major undertaking.

The capital market focuses on whether there is room for imagination.

The listing of Pinduoduo was not really taken seriously by the capital market, mainly because this growth model was clearly going to stagnate.

Since the domestic low-end market is finite and has reached its peak, what should be done?
Taotian Group chose the overseas market, and JD.com did the same, also venturing into other businesses, such as the book business.

But Pin Yidao clearly took a different path from them.

That is to sell high-quality agricultural products by closely linking agriculture, rural areas and agricultural products, opening supermarkets in cities and community fresh food stores in communities.

From online e-commerce platforms, expanding to offline channels.

This opens up a lot of room for imagination.

Even Huang Zheng thought of many things in a short moment.

It must be said that Huang Zheng reacted very quickly.

"Don't worry, boss, I guarantee I'll get it done!"

Huang Zheng immediately assured Wang Donglai.

Wang Donglai waved his hand and said, "You may have misunderstood me."

"Offline supermarkets and community fresh food stores will be handled by a separate company, and will not be integrated with Pinduoduo."

"Online business is online business, and offline business is offline business, but in order to protect their respective interests, it is worthwhile to invest in the new Galaxy Supermarket."

"Not only supermarkets, but also our internal canteens will be opened in major cities across the country in the future, mainly to provide meals for our own employees, and also partially open to the public."

"As I said before, whether it's a Xinghuo Express courier or a Pinhaofan delivery driver, they are all our employees and our colleagues."

"Although our roles are different, our identities are the same!"

When Wang Donglai said this, his expression was very serious.

Huang Zheng sighed softly to himself. He had previously strongly disagreed with Wang Donglai's approach.

However, having spent so many years at Galaxy Machine, he had long since accepted this under Wang Donglai's subtle influence.

In particular, Wang Donglai's recent charisma has amplified this point.

His attitude changed from initial resistance to helplessness, and finally to acceptance.

"Boss, I understand!"

Huang Zheng nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Okay, then you can go and get back to work!"

After Wang Donglai finished speaking, he told Huang Zheng to leave.

As soon as Huang Zheng left, Xu Zhibin walked in.

Wang Dong looked at the time; less than half an hour had passed.

"Is it over so soon?"

Wang Donglai couldn't help but ask curiously.

A cold smile appeared on Xu Zhibin's face as he said, "These two aren't honest. They say they're willing to sell, but I think they're still a little unwilling and probably want to struggle a bit."

"It's hard to say. Right now, we'll take our offer to Jack Ma or other investors to see if they can offer a higher price."

Wang Donglai wasn't surprised and said with a smile, "That's more like it!"

"Given such a huge price difference, I would find it strange if they agreed without the slightest hesitation!"

"It's a good thing to let them struggle a bit more, so they can see the truth."

"If they still don't come to sign the contract after the technology summit, we'll reduce the acquisition price by another 100 million. The longer it drags on, the lower the price will be. Anyway, the initiative is in our hands!"

"It would be great if we could acquire it, but it's not a big deal if we can't. Don't worry about it too much!"

Wang Donglai appeared quite indifferent; for him, the acquisitions of Shentong and Yunda were no longer of great significance.

After all, that crucial moment has passed; having it would be better, but not having it wouldn't have much of an impact. Xu Zhibin understood this principle, but in his view, the acquisition would have an additional benefit: a significant boost in public image.

After all, everyone knows that Xinghuo Express only entered the industry last year, yet it was able to acquire two listed express delivery companies and seize a large share of the market in just one year. This is very beneficial for its publicity.

"Boss, I know what to do."

Xu Zhibin nodded and responded.

……

And on the other side.

Chen Jun and Nie Yun, who had just left the headquarters of Galaxy Technology, were sitting in the same car, both of them looking grim.

The purpose of this visit to Galaxy Technology can be said to have been achieved, or it can be said to have not been achieved.

While it was said to have met expectations, the price did not.

While it may not be accurate to say it hasn't reached its target, the price Wang Donglai offered is already the highest it has ever been.

However, the reason why the two looked somewhat grim was because of the price.

The once multi-billionaire is now forced to sell his shares for a few billion.

His net worth has shrunk drastically, with losses amounting to hundreds of millions, so naturally he can't be happy.

They both wanted to struggle as long as there was even the slightest possibility.

After a long while, Chen Jun asked Nie Yun, "Are you really sure you want to make a move?"

Nie Yun glanced at Chen Jun and said calmly, "Have you changed your mind again?"

Chen Jun cursed under his breath, "Cunning!"
However, I still have to explain: "This price is still a bit low, I'm really reluctant to spend it!"

Nie Yun fell silent, wondering what Chen Jun meant.

Seeing that Nie Yun remained silent, Chen Jun continued, "Such a large-scale business acquisition doesn't need to be rushed in a day or two. How about we wait until this technology summit is over?"

Nie Yun didn't want to get entangled with Chen Jun any longer, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as Mr. Chen says."

"I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so I'll take my leave now."

In fact, Nie Yun was thinking to himself that he absolutely could not listen to Chen Jun.

After getting off the bus, I returned to Galaxy Technology and directly signed a letter of intent.

Since we've decided to sell, let's sell it all.

If we can take this opportunity to get on the good side of Galaxy Technology, it would actually be a good thing.

The moment the thought of defecting to the enemy arises, one suddenly feels the vastness of the world!

The more Nie Yun thought about it, the better he felt it was.

Galaxy Technology's development to its current state is definitely not due to luck, but rather to its genuine strength.

Selling Yunda and having only cash on hand without any assets is definitely not an option.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to exchange these shares for something more useful.

The more Nie Yun thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait to leave this place immediately.

Chen Jun naturally had no idea what Nie Yun was thinking, but from his actions and expressions, he could tell that Nie Yun was somewhat displeased with his fickleness, though he didn't care.

No merchant is honest; that's just how it is!

After parting ways, Chen Jun left immediately, while Nie Yun returned the way he came.

Soon, they returned to the headquarters of Galaxy Technology.

Xu Zhibin had just returned to his office and hadn't even settled in when he received a call from Nie Yun.

Upon hearing Nie Yun's words, Xu Zhibin stood up in surprise.

Things really didn't turn out that quickly.

Just moments before, I was saying that Chen Jun and Nie Yun had other ideas, and then Nie Yun called and said these words.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhibin thought about it and decided to report to Wang Donglai, so he told Wang Donglai about Nie Yun's idea.

Wang Donglai immediately became interested as well.

"Alright, just bring President Nie over here!"

"I must say, President Nie really gave me a pleasant surprise!"

Wang Donglai's tone also carried a hint of surprise and deeper meaning.

In the office, a thoughtful look flashed in Wang Donglai's eyes.

Originally, he didn't take Nie Yun seriously; he figured it was fine if Yunda acquired him.

However, after hearing Nie Yun's words, he suddenly changed his mind.

He quickly began to think things through and start refining his plan.

In just over ten minutes, Wang Donglai had already made up his mind.

Just then, Xu Zhibin brought Nie Yun back to his office.

"President Nie, this is truly unexpected!"

Upon meeting, Wang Donglai exclaimed with emotion.

President Nie keenly sensed that Wang Donglai's tone was more intimate than when they had met before.

He naturally understood the reason for Wang Donglai's change, and a surge of joy welled up inside him.

It seems he made the right bet.

Excitement welled up inside Nie Yun, and he couldn't help but show it.

"Mr. Wang, you're too kind. Actually, I've admired you for a long time. To be able to achieve such a great career at your age, I think anyone would admire you."

"This has nothing to do with age, and even less to do with experience."

"It's purely out of admiration for President Wang's personal abilities and charisma!"

Nie Yun, the founder of Yunda Express, didn't hesitate to flatter them at this moment.

He has absolutely no airs of a billionaire.

Xu Zhibin was somewhat surprised, while Wang Donglai simply smiled faintly and didn't take it seriously.

"Mr. Nie, I just heard from Lao Xu that you're planning to change the cooperation method?"

Wang Donglai went straight to the point and asked.

"Mr. Wang, I am very optimistic about the development of your group and have always wanted to have the opportunity to cooperate, but I have never had the chance."

"It just so happens that we've finally gotten to cross paths again, so I was thinking of seeing if I could get a chance."

Nie Yun behaved very humbly, just like a subordinate.

"Since President Nie has put it that way, then I'll be frank with you."

"If Mr. Nie doesn't mind, we're about to start a new business. How about exchanging Yunda's shares for shares in the new company?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Nie Yun nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll do as Mr. Wang says!"

Wang Donglai asked with a smile, "President Nie is really straightforward. Aren't you going to ask what kind of business the new company is doing? Aren't you afraid I'll rip you off?"

At this moment, Nie Yun finally revealed the boldness of a billionaire and said, "I believe in President Wang's reputation, and I also believe in Galaxy Technology's reputation. If we're going to gamble, let's gamble big!"

"I don't think Mr. Wang would risk his reputation or Galaxy Technology's prestigious brand for such a small amount of money."

"I don't have that much money at all!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Donglai burst into laughter and said, "Haha, since President Nie is so generous, I naturally can't be stingy either. How about I give you five percent of the shares in the new company?"

Nie Yun nodded firmly, agreeing without even asking what the new company's business would be. (End of Chapter)
