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

China has a population of 1.4 billion and is the world's largest market.

With reform and opening up, the economy continues to develop and national wealth is also soaring rapidly.

When Wang Donglai traveled through time, the wealth of the richest man in the country had reached more than 400 billion.

Looking through the list of the richest people in China, we can find that with the changes over time, the identities of the richest people have also changed from simply the coal resources field to the high-tech Internet field.

The Internet has another very big characteristic, which is youth.

So, in the later period, every time the domestic rich list is revealed.

Internet companies are appearing on the list more and more frequently, with more and more people on the list and more and more wealth.

Especially in the later stages, young people have completely stepped onto the stage and become the mainstream of the wealth list.

For example, Huang Zheng, who started Pin Yidao, became the richest man in the country at the age of 44, with a net worth of 468 billion US dollars.

The same is true for Zhang Bytedance, who does not have a product or a listed company, but the market valuation is as high as 1400 billion US dollars. He once became the richest man in China with a net worth of 594 billion US dollars.

Another example is Wang Tao of DJI, whose net worth has soared to more than 40 billion thanks to his leading position in the field of drones.

The three of them have one thing in common, that is, they were all born in the 1980s.

To be able to achieve such great success, the three of them naturally have their own strengths.

Zhang Bytedance saw that the mobile Internet era was facing an explosive growth of information while content distribution was very inefficient, so he founded ByteDance to improve the efficiency of content distribution through AI.

Huang Zheng saw that the low-income people in third- and fourth-tier cities and rural areas outside the online shopping market were extremely sensitive to prices and had a demand for a high-quality life, so he developed Pinyidao, a brand centered on low prices, and took advantage of human greed and the desire to take advantage, and developed Pinyidao.

Needless to say, Wang Tao, with his passion, technical accumulation and industrial chain integration, has grown drones from a niche field into an industry with a market size of over one trillion yuan.

To be able to achieve such results, these people are all men of strong minds.

Because Zhang Bytedance was defeated by Wang Donglai in the same field and their ideas about subsequent development were consistent, he agreed to the acquisition and was willing to work under Wang Donglai.

But Huang Zheng is different.

After graduating from Hangzhou University of Foreign Languages ​​at the end of the last century, he was admitted to Zhejiang University Zhu Kezhen College, majoring in computer science. After graduating four years later, he successfully applied to study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Two years later, after obtaining a master's degree in computer science, he joined Google in Bald Eagle.

Two years after taking office, he and Li Kaifu were sent to China to expand business and establish Google's China office.

He resigned after a year and started his own business, successively establishing a mobile e-commerce company, an e-commerce agency operation company and a gaming company.

During this period, Huang Zheng met his benefactor Duan Ping, who bought the stock god's lunch for US$2006 in 62 and brought Huang Zheng to the lunch.

It can be said that Huang Zheng has hardly encountered any major setbacks along the way.

His experiences also prove that he is not only a genius in study, but also has his own ideas in business.

In addition, when Wang Donglai recruited Huang Zheng, he did not completely convince Huang Zheng like Zhang Bietian did.

That’s why this scene happened.

Wang Donglai is very clear and understands it very well.

From a businessman's perspective, there is nothing wrong with Huang Zheng. Instead, he is the best partner.

He has strong abilities, brains, means, and the ability to maximize benefits.

It is most comfortable to work with such smart people.

However, Wang Donglai was unwilling to do so.

Sighing inwardly, Wang Donglai immediately spoke out: "Huang Zheng, the plan you mentioned is indeed a very good business plan. If we follow your plan, I believe that in a few years, Pinyidao will be able to go public, sweeping up a large number of users and becoming a national software."

"By then, there will be 10,000 ways to make a profit, and the profit margin will not be low. If you are ruthless, it will not be a problem to have a profit margin far exceeding JD.com and Tmall."

"But have you ever thought about what kind of impact this will bring?"

Everyone present was smart, and after hearing what Wang Donglai said, they all started to think about it.

But soon, Zhang Yitu, Zhou Rui, Chen Lingyue and others figured it out.

Huang Zheng's expression remained unchanged, and he remained calm and composed. He said, "I am just a businessman. What I should consider is how to make money and make the company profitable."

"As for what I do, what kind of impact will it bring?!"

"It will allow more people in third- and fourth-tier cities and rural areas to buy cheaper and more practical things, improve their quality of life, and allow them to enjoy the beauty of modern social development. It will also allow more factories to receive more orders and increase their income, and give factory workers jobs to do."

"I understand what Mr. Wang meant. He simply thinks that my ideas and suggestions are not ethical, will lead to a deterioration of social morals, will cause counterfeit goods to run rampant on the platform, will cultivate a group of users who like to take advantage of others, and will put more businesses in a difficult position."

"I can think of all these things, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

"Look at the people at the bottom of society. Who doesn't risk their lives for money? I don't think this is a problem of capital, but a problem of society. This is an era of risking one's life."

"Of course, everyone has the right to choose, and can choose to live a comfortable life, but they must accept the consequences of choosing comfort. People can control their own efforts, all of us can!"

"No one is anyone's savior, only yourself!"

After Huang Zheng said this, Wang Donglai was so angry that he laughed.

He didn't expect to hear these words again in this life.

When the sudden death incident occurred at Pin Yidao, the entire Internet was condemning Pin Yidao.

As a result, Pin Yida posted the following message on Bihu.

Full of capitalist arrogance and shamelessness!
In the past, it was circulated on the Internet that Pinyidao's R&D team of more than 3,000 people were distributed on three floors, with more than 1,000 people on each floor, including more than 800 male employees. However, there were only eight toilet stalls, two of which were VIP stalls that required a card to enter and were reserved for senior executives.

Even elementary school students can feel that this arrangement is inappropriate.

There are many people but few slots.

Pinyidao was already a major domestic Internet company at that time and had no shortage of money.

But in order to reduce the amount of paid shitting by employees, this clever idea was devised.

The dignity of employees has long been trampled upon beyond recognition.

In fact, we can find clues from Huang Zheng’s current answer. It is not surprising that Pin Yidao can develop into that state in the future.

"Huang Zheng, I'm actually very happy that you can speak your mind."

"It's better to say it now than later!" "I think I have made it very clear before that I don't have strict requirements for the company's profits."

"Because I have the confidence that my career will be successful and my company will make money!"

"Many people have advised me against offering such high benefits and salaries to employees, saying that I don't need to offer such high salaries because there are plenty of people doing the work. Some people say that these employees don't deserve such high benefits and salaries. Some people also say that if I adjust the salaries and benefits, I can save at least 100 million yuan every year, which is all profit."

"Yes, these ideas make sense, but I don't want to hear them."

"Our country has a long history, a large size, and is one of the world's leading countries in comprehensive strength, but we have always had a big problem, which is that the population is too large and the per capita resources are too few."

"There have always been people who are proud of our country's 5,000-year history, but many people forget that in the past 4,900 years, most Chinese people had a hard time getting enough food and clothing. Even in ancient times, due to the underdeveloped technology and low per-acre yields, it was impossible for people to live a life of food and clothing."

"It is only with modern life and the development of modern chemistry that fertilizers, agricultural machinery and improved seeds are produced, which have enabled the Chinese people to have enough food."

"And this period of time to be full is only a few decades."

"So many years of survival experience have cultivated the inward-looking nature of the Chinese people, and there are constant internal struggles among them."

"Economically, this is reflected in the fact that companies are unwilling to give supporting manufacturers even a little bit of profit, and would rather be stuck at the manufacturers' cost line. They are unwilling to give employees even a little bit of benefits, which is like digging their flesh and drinking their blood."

"Everyone understands win-win situations, but no one is willing to do it. They just want to test other people's bottom line and gain more profits."

"Searching from the mouths of swallows, sharpening the tips of iron needles, scraping the golden Buddha's face to search carefully. Looking for something in the void, searching for peas in the crop of a quail, chopping the tender meat from the legs of a heron, and scraping the fat from the belly of a mosquito."

"It's definitely not an exaggeration to describe it in this sentence."

"I don't like this, so I hope to change this situation."

"Huang Zheng, I don't agree with your ideas and suggestions!"

Wang Donglai shook his head firmly and said to Huang Zheng.

Huang Zheng was not surprised. He had known Wang Donglai's idea for a long time. However, he still retorted: "Boss Wang, I admit that your idea is good, but I don't think there is anything wrong with mine."

“As a businessman, the most important thing when starting a business is what problems you solve for your customers and what value you create.”

"According to my plan, countless jobs will be created, allowing more factories and rural orchards to sell their products."

"Behind these factories are many workers and countless families, and behind the rural orchards are farmers and college students who are eager to go to college and change their own destiny."

"As for sellers, the customers we serve are those at the absolute bottom of society, in third- and fourth-tier cities and rural areas. Many of them only earn one or two thousand yuan, or even less."

"It is impossible to get these people to buy branded products, but by buying a piece of cake, they can buy cheaper and more practical things, such as large TVs, washing machines, and refrigerators that cost hundreds of yuan, or pots and pans that cost dozens of yuan, daily necessities that cost more than a dozen yuan, and small items that cost a few yuan."

"They can't get into offline stores and can't afford these things, but by competing for a discount, they can be given a chance and enjoy the fun of buying them."

"The scheme I mentioned is not illegal. It is just a business operation mechanism. Under the social division of labor, we provide the platform, some people provide products, and some people accept products and services. In the whole process, everyone benefits from it."

"The more society develops, the more obvious the Matthew effect becomes, the greater the gap between the rich and the poor becomes, and society will gradually tend to serve the rich. From product design to advertising to services, they all promote high quality and brands, and push up prices."

"Look at domestic TV dramas and advertisements, and you won't see poor people anywhere. Even if they do appear, they are often portrayed as ignorant, arrogant, and vulgar, while rich people are synonymous with elegance, civilization, and quality."

"But the reality is not like this. China is a vast country with a large population. First-tier cities have long entered the modern society, while mountainous rural areas have just started to have roads, and the only appliances in the homes are electric lights."

"On the one hand, there is a serious oversupply of domestic production and manufacturing capacity, and coastal cities are preparing for industrial upgrading and adjustments. However, in the vast backward areas, they have huge consumer demand but are suppressed by poverty."

"In a competitive market, we only care about the product, not the brand or cultural value. We only care about whether it is practical or not, and the price."

"For example, in rural areas, many families share one towel for wiping their faces, heads, and feet. Don't they want everyone to have their own?"

"Towels are affordable, but the limited money can only be used for more critical things, and towels have to come second."

"On Pinyidao, we directly connect with towel factories. We sell towels for 50 cents each and 20 pairs for 10 yuan, with free shipping. Anyone can afford it."

"In addition to towels, there are many other products, from nail clippers to refrigerators, TVs, and washing machines. They don't have to look good or have fancy functions. As long as they are easy to use and cheap, they will be the best-selling products on the platform."

"As an Internet product and e-commerce platform, we provide product information exchange and can deliver low-priced and practical products to every user through logistics, allowing a large number of people to buy low-priced things to improve their lives. This is our greatest value!"

“Yes, everyone will say that establishing an independent brand and building a well-known brand can establish a good image and make more profits.”

"But our country is so big and the situation is so complex that it is simply impossible to do this all at once."

"The poor are unlikely to disappear. They will always exist in every era, and their consumption needs will always exist."

"There will always be customers who need to buy products at low prices. This is where Pinyidao's social value lies. It responds to the underlying market demand, conforms to market laws, and also solves social problems."

"If you want to break out from the encirclement of JD.com and Tmall, you must choose a different track."

Wang Donglai listened quietly to Huang Zheng finish his speech.

"You are quibbling!"

“I don’t deny Pinyidao’s business model. I just don’t agree with your proposal and idea.”

"Lower prices and profit sharing are not contradictory!"

"Users can buy low-priced and practical products on the platform, factories can sell more goods and earn more income, and the platform can also earn income by providing services. This is a win-win situation for everyone."

"And according to your idea, if you cater to users infinitely, there will only be a large number of freeloaders and wool-pulling parties, and you will favor users, and the interests of merchants will also be damaged."

"What I hope is that everyone wins, not that one or two parties win and the other party pays the price."

"Huang Zheng, you are a smart person. Your idea can maximize the benefits of the platform, but merchants will become the cost. Users may seem to have benefited, but in the long run, the losses will only be greater."

"Once business ethics decline, it will affect everyone."

"If we want to break out from the encirclement of Tmall and JD.com, we really need to find another track."

"But this does not mean that we have to keep going down this path. We can further process agricultural products and empower them with technology."

“Create green organic products, develop low-carbon agriculture, and enjoy pollution-free food!”

"In this day and age, pollution is everywhere. Pure green food can keep people healthy and is beneficial to their physical and mental development. This is actually the direction of agricultural development."

"Huang Zheng, I know your abilities very well, so I trust you."

"I don't agree with your ideas and suggestions. This is a dispute between you and me, and I won't interfere with other things."

"So, if you want to leave, I can let you go and give you enough compensation."

"But if you still want to stay, then you have to follow my lead on Pinyidao's development strategy!"

After Wang Dong finished speaking, the conference room was silent, waiting for Huang Zheng's answer. (End of this chapter)
