I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

City.

"This is Mark, the person in charge of Google in Mocun, and this is Xi."

"Hello."

"Hello."

With Alin's introduction, Chen Xi shook hands with a middle-aged man with gray hair.

Google established branches in Australia eight years ago, located in Sydney and Melbourne.

"Our Google Map navigation has been around for a long time, but it has always been frustrated. In other words, it has been beaten to a pulp by those GPS navigations and has no chance of fighting.

Whether it is Da Piaoliang or Tuao, the situation is the same. Especially in Tuao, there is no signal for mobile phones in remote areas, and mobile navigation has become a complete decoration..." Mark sat down and chatted with Chen Xi for a few words before getting straight to the point.

As the head of Mocun Company, Mark has always felt that Google Map is a useless product for Australians, and his company is currently focusing on other products in Australia.

"You are right. At present, Australians all use TOMTOM, and older people still use maps. Although smartphones are becoming popular now, that is in other countries. Some older people in Australia are still using old antique phones.

Since Google Map cannot be used by ordinary people now, it is better to cooperate directly with other companies and use it for business. "Chen Xi nodded.

"The company has worked with several commercial projects before, but the results were surprisingly poor. When Google Map first came out, it cooperated with many local businesses to display the business's location, contact information, business hours and other information on the map. This feature greatly facilitated users' needs to find surrounding services. You should know this." Mark sighed and looked at Chen Xi.

"Yeah, I used it often before." Chen Xi nodded.

"Later, as Google Map's functions continued to improve, route planning and navigation gradually became one of its core functions. Google Map cooperated with traffic data providers to provide users with accurate route planning and navigation services, helping users quickly find the best driving route. As I just said, I have been confused by those GPSs because they require a very high mobile phone signal."

"Yes, got it."

"Three years ago, we launched the Street View service, which provides users with a more realistic city landscape experience through city street view photos taken by Street View cars. This feature not only improves users' map experience, but also provides more business opportunities for industries such as tourism and real estate. However, this feature has not brought any benefits, but has been burning money!"

"understand."

"Two years ago, we created Google Map Maker, a tool that allows users to edit and update map data. By working with local communities and government agencies, Google Map Maker makes map data more accurate and complete, providing reliable data support for numerous commercial projects that rely on map data. As you can see, the current functions are becoming more and more useless, and the top management is already very dissatisfied with this project. If it weren't for the strategic factors involved, Google Map would probably have been stopped!" Mark shook his head helplessly.

To be honest, he doesn't think highly of this thing either.

He is the head of Mo Village, and the partners he considers are all local companies. In a country with such a vast land and all important cities distributed on the southeast coast, this kind of mapping tool is really of no use.

Besides, TOMTOM is very easy to use now, and can be used in many areas where there is no mobile phone signal. So why do people still use Google Map?

Is it because free mobile navigation is free?

In Australia, the car ownership rate is quite high and almost everyone has a GPS. Although TOMTOM GPS is not cheap, you can buy a second-hand one if you don’t have money.

Generally, you need to pay to update the map package of GPS. However, the roads in Australia have hardly changed in decades. A GPS can probably be passed down for two generations, so there is no need for mobile navigation at all.

Furthermore, at first glance, mobile navigation is free, but data is required, and mobile data in Australia is terribly expensive. If you use it every day, it will cost more than buying a GPS.

As if he had seen through the other party's thoughts, Chen Xi explained, "Google Map is a free software, but it consumes data in actual use, which is one of the reasons why few people have used it before. There are more and more operators in Australia now, and these operators are foreign companies that have come to Australia to grab the market. Since they are competing for the market, they will definitely launch a series of discounts to attract consumers. Unlimited data is one of their means to attract consumers. When unlimited data was first launched, the package price may not be cheap, but as long as the competition is fierce, other operators will also reduce prices. So, you don't have to worry about this..."

"Well, what you said makes sense. But a project must be able to generate revenue in order for the company's top management to agree. Some shareholders have limited patience and are not willing to spend a long time betting on the success of a project. They just want to see returns in a short period of time. You know what I mean, right?" Mark agreed with Chen Xi's words, then shook his head after pondering for a while.

"I understand. I called you here today to make Google Map profitable. With the rise of cross-border e-commerce, the application of virtual maps in the logistics field will become increasingly widespread. Many cross-border e-commerce platforms and logistics companies may use Google Map's geographic location information and route planning functions to optimize logistics distribution routes, improve distribution efficiency, and reduce logistics costs..."

Chen Xi's words made Mark's eyes light up, as his words were consistent with the thoughts of the people at Google headquarters.

Just think about it, there are so many talented people in such a large multinational company, and Google Map has been on the market for so many years, and someone had already thought of this.

However, what Chen Xi said next was what interested him the most: "We have our own logistics company, TOLL, and Australia's largest auto parts city, which includes e-commerce business... In China, I plan to unite the factories along the coast to do cross-border e-commerce, and I am currently working on a project."

"What project? I heard from him that you are the boss of Real-Car. I saw the news about Real-Car. Carsales will be listed soon. What kind of cooperation can our Google Map have with you?" Mark pointed at Alin with a smile on his face.

"Of course! Even if Carsales goes public, it can't stop me from moving forward!" Chen Xi straightened his body confidently.

"Oh? Then what can we do together with Google Maps and Real-Car?"

"That is……"

Seeing that the other party's interest had been aroused, Chen Xi finally began to talk about the formal cooperation project.

Burwood, inside Matthew's villa.

"Teacher Matthew, do you think this Real-Car can survive?" asked a tall and thin young man holding a copy of The Age newspaper.

"Just call me by my name from now on. We've known each other for so long and we're about the same age. There's no need to call you teacher. I feel a little embarrassed. I think Real-Car can certainly get through this." Matthew handed Jia Zhenyu a can of drink.

"Really? But the listing of Carsales is a foregone conclusion. Its ability to make money after the listing is naturally needless to say. Coupled with the leading position of the Australian car trading platform, how can Real-Car make a comeback?" Jia Zhenyu blinked, with a curious expression on his face.

"The success or failure of a company is affected by many factors. Look, wasn't Nokia also a big player at the time, but was later overtaken? A company like Real-Car, which has a small number of shareholders and no external capital, relies entirely on the wise judgment of decision makers. In just a few years, Real-Car was able to catch up with the automotive platform giants with many years of history, and it was also able to pose a serious threat to the other party. I think this boss is no ordinary person..." Matthew touched his chin. He did not reveal to the outside world that the boss of Real-Car was Chen Xi.

But when faced with his friend's question, he could only explain it in another way. "Well, that makes sense. So how should Real-Car fight back? If it were you, what would you do?" Jia Zhenyu asked again.

"I don't know, I'm not the boss, hahaha!" Matthew really didn't know. Chen Xi often had ideas in his mind that he couldn't imagine and he couldn't guess at all.

"What do you think of the lavender bears that are very popular recently? I see that many overseas students have made a lot of money by purchasing on behalf of others. There are also many people in China who have cooperated with purchasing agents and made a little money. I heard that counterfeit products have begun to appear in Wushang. Once these counterfeit products appear, people with low spending power will definitely choose the cheap products. As for whether they are real, they don't know. It will definitely have a significant impact on the bear market."

"Yes, you're right. This is an Internet celebrity product, which is actually just an ordinary doll filled with lavender. Where can't we find lavender? What's missing is the copyright of the bear's design. Since the copyright has been replaced by the copycat, the advertisements can still continue to use the Tasmania brand. It is bound to be affected. In fact, if there hadn't been the emergence of copycats, the popularity would not have been able to continue. This is just a way to make money temporarily and there is no value in discussing it." Matthew took a sip of his drink.

"When I returned to China this time, I felt that the domestic market was completely blank. All these businesses in Australia, such as real estate agencies, tutoring, and car platforms, can be moved over there. What do you think?" Jia Zhenyu lit a cigarette.

"I think it's not feasible to directly copy Australia's model. We can only modify it to raise funds through financing and listing..." Matthew hesitated.

"Yeah, I think so too. There are too many local bosses in China now. You can get a lot of investment from them just by making a PPT."

"I haven't been back to China for a long time. I heard everything from others and saw it on the Internet. Hahaha. What you said is true, but the investors' money cannot be wasted casually. We still have to do our best."

"In Didi University, there are four most famous people, do you know?" Jia Zhenyu looked at Matthew with a smile on his face.

"Oh? Who is it?"

"That's you, teacher. And Gouzi, Chen Xi, and Thomas. Have you heard of them?"

"Well, that's for sure. Gou Zi and Chen Xi are both my friends. As for Thomas, I've heard a lot of people talk about him, but there are more bad things than good things about him." Matthew thought about it and realized that he had indeed heard of this person, but had never seen him.

"Oh? What are they talking about?" Jia Zhenyu looked curious.

"It means that this person can make money, but he can also cheat people. In short, there are many people who belittle him. I don't know much about the details, but I don't think he is a good person."

"Teacher Matthew, when those famous big bosses first started their business, which one of them didn't have a dark history? When they become successful, these dark histories will be covered up by the dazzling halo. Those celebrity profiles and interviews on the Internet are all fabricated. Do you think Thomas is different from them?"

"Well... there seems to be some truth in what he said, but I personally don't agree with his approach. We should be more sincere to others and know how to repay kindness." Matthew nodded first, then shook his head.

"Teacher, I think there is no good or bad person in this world, only winners and losers. On the road to success, you will encounter various difficulties. Sometimes you use some means that are not recognized by others. That is normal. After all, everyone's thoughts are different. Most people don't recognize you, but there are always people who recognize you, right?

Have you read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? The sinister Cao Cao in it and the Liangshan bandits in "Water Margin" are still admired by people. Who do you think is a good guy and who is a bad guy?
Some people say that there are only a few good people among the 108 people in Liangshanpo, but these extremely vicious people are liked by so many people just because they have abilities. This is the reality.

If you look at those novels and movies, most of them are about the counterattack of the lower class. The plot is nothing more than how miserable it is for the lower class to be ruled by the upper class in the early stage, but when he successfully counterattacks and becomes the upper class, isn’t he also ruling others?

The audience felt very happy after watching the film, because they didn't really care about class inequality, but they cared about why they were not in the upper class. Who is the good guy and who is the bad guy? Or was he a good guy before and became a bad guy later?
Hahaha!
You are now a teacher and shareholder of an educational institution, right? But does your boss have the same development ideas as you? If there is a discrepancy, you may choose to stay in the company in obscurity due to some feelings, which may delay your future. However, if you put aside all feelings, go out to develop yourself, and walk your own path, you may achieve unexpected surprises..."

"I haven't thought about this question. I think my life and career are pretty good now. Let's not discuss this topic." Matthew interrupted the other party before he finished speaking. His face darkened and he finished his drink before picking up a book and starting to read.

Jia Zhenyu looked at Matthew's performance and shook his head secretly.

What era are we in now? This is not the same relationship as before between kings and subordinates.

In this day and age, people gather together when there is money to be made, and if someone hinders me from making money, they will change jobs and work alone. Loyalty or disloyalty is all bullshit, we are not the slaves of ancient times.

Seeing that the conversation could not continue, Jia Zhenyu offered to leave.

After everyone left, Matthew began to ponder alone.

In fact, the cram school has been open for so long, and he himself is very famous as a gold medal lecturer. Many large Australian educational institutions have contacted him privately, hoping to poach him.

The treatment offered was much better than the current one, but he rejected them all. He also did not tell Chen Xi about these things as he felt it was unnecessary.

Jia Zhenyu's words just now were undoubtedly like a slap in the face.

Inside a Hungry Jack's in Burwood.

Li Yuqing was holding a hamburger in her hand and said vaguely: "Damn it, where did these people get the goods from? I asked around for a long time and they said it was near the school..."

At this time, Shi Tao came over with two drinks. He handed one to Li Yuqing and then drank Coke happily: "It's still good here. You can have unlimited refills. I used to sit here for an entire afternoon and only leave after I got my money back."

"Look at how useless you are! People nowadays are so dishonest. You said you would take us to see the goods today, but it's already so late and there's no sign of you." Li Yuqing finished her hamburger and picked up the fried onion rings.

"Since I met you, I don't even have time to play games. I really admire you. All you think about is money!"

"I am a woman who is so ambitious, and you, a grown man, actually say such things. When you graduate, I wonder what you will do when you return to Jiangcheng. Your family conditions are just like that, not as good as mine! If your aunt hadn't helped you in Mo Village, you would be living a worse life than me."

"Haha, my father had a son in his old age, and I am his only son. Whenever he had money, he would spend it on me. I'm not like you. What's your family's financial situation? It's about the same as mine. You talk like a rich girl." Shi Tao was usually very good at taking a joke. No matter how sharp Li Yuqing was, he would always smile.

"Ding ding!" At this time, the mobile phone on the table rang.

"Stop eating, that person seems to be coming!" Li Yuqing looked at her mobile phone and stuffed the remaining food on the table into her mouth.

"Fuck, you ate it all and didn't even leave me any." Shi Tao looked at the empty box on the table, then at the drink in his hand, and in line with the principle of not wasting, he gulped it down. (End of this chapter)
