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

When Chen Xi's figure completely disappeared outside the office door, Lin Xi's face staged a rapidly changing drama. Emotions took turns appearing in a few seconds. First, there was a surge of anger, followed by a twist of unwillingness, and then an inexplicable joy bloomed in an instant.

Humph, you want to scare me, just a little trick.

Cancel the bank transfer in the future, and only use cash and Turtle Coins, so there will be no evidence...

After figuring it out, Lin Xi happily lit up another cigarette.

"Vice President, you have graduated now. Are you going to stay in Huajing to preside over the overall affairs of the association in the future?" As soon as he went downstairs, Chen Xi saw a familiar girl coming over.

Qian Jiajia, he still remembers this girl, who is considered his loyal fan.

"Well, I plan to open a company in Huajing in the future, and I will come to the association often."

"That's great, Vice President. Can I go to your company to help out when the time comes? I don't want any salary." Qian Jiajia had a longing expression on her face.

"We'll talk about it later. I can't do without salary. I'm not a black-hearted boss." Chen Xi made a joke. He looked around and asked in a low voice: "Everyone in this association is so busy every day. How much is the salary? What is the overall income of the association?"

"I don't know the income of the association. Each of us is only responsible for our own area. I personally make about 8,000 yuan. But this is different from ordinary people's work. For example, my work is actually done by several people. I don't have to come to the association every day like others, but there are fixed minimum working days every month. If you don't come, someone else will do it for you. Sometimes you can work remotely using a computer, but for some work, the president only needs us to use the computers in the association to handle it..."

"Oh, isn't this much more comfortable than working in other companies? Then why would anyone apply for a job in another company?"

"Because the salary cap of the association is there, if you want a higher salary or to work in an industry that you are interested in, you can only go outside. Besides, this is an association, not a big company, so the security is still limited..." Qian Jiajia said in a low voice.

"I heard that the association has a good income now, so there must be someone to keep accounts." Chen Xi remembered that when he went to the meeting, it was proposed that the association's funds would be supervised by the Study Abroad Fund Management Committee.

"I don't understand this. We always go to the Secretary-General to resolve any funding issues we encounter." Qian Jiajia shook her head.

Chen Xi finally understood that Lin Xi and Xu Yun didn't want him to see the account books.

"The association is getting bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more people with ulterior motives. Illegal and criminal activities must be resolutely stopped. Sometimes I am not in the association. If you find anything, you can report it to me privately."

"Yes, sir." Upon hearing this, Qian Jiajia playfully saluted him. Her chubby face, coupled with this funny action, looked quite cute.

In the evening, Chen Xi called Jiang Yun and Xing Tian to have dinner together.

“At present, the Tianya Forum is alive and well. Jiang Yun and I have launched various novel advertisements, which are interspersed in various pictures, novels, and videos in an inadvertent manner. Moreover, the advertisements are vivid and interesting, and are completely integrated into those stories, so that users will not feel bored but find them interesting…” Xing Tian was in a good mood. He originally wanted to give it a try, but the results were surprisingly great.

"There are many companies cooperating with us now, including major media companies, Weibo and the like, and some capital has already set its sights on us..." Jiang Yun also spoke.

"Delay them first and don't refuse them outright. When you can't delay them anymore, say that Huakai Capital is behind this." Chen Xi said after thinking for a few seconds.

"Why? Isn't it a good thing to have someone investing in you?" Both of them were puzzled when they heard this.

"There are skills to attracting investment. Those who come first contribute less money and get more shares. Those who come later contribute more money and get less shares. There is absolutely no problem with our current operations, and we don't need any investment at all. As for not rejecting others outright, it's because I don't want to offend anyone so quickly. Some people believe in destroying something if they can't eat it, so we have to be careful..." Chen Xi picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

"Oh, think about how many companies offered huge sums of money to acquire Tian. I rejected them all in my high spirits. I think it's better to quit while I'm ahead." Xing Tian sighed. All the painful experiences in the past were laid out before him, making him feel like he was bitten by a snake once and is afraid of ropes for ten years.

"Don't always hold the mentality of selling it quickly because you won't be able to sell it anymore. We are not a sunset stock that is about to be delisted." Chen Xi couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"I was just talking. I almost got myself killed. What I care about now is not being greedy. I want to earn as much as I can." Xing Tian smiled embarrassedly.

"How's the education section going?"

"We have released a lot of courseware, but they are all about daily life, and they also include links to Future Education and Study Abroad. We are also planning to link Tianya's account with the two companies so that users can directly click in and pay for learning."

"Ah."

"Since the novel section became paid, Tianya's revenue has increased a lot. Some people have already purchased the copyright to adapt it into a TV series, and the platform can also take some commission from it."

Hearing this, Chen Xi thought of Ji Qingchuan, who settled in Huajing after graduation. He first studied with a teacher, and later opened his own leading dubbing company in the country, collaborating with Penguin and Sheng Xiao.

For someone who studies psychology to become a film and television director, the leap is really big.

At night, in a hotel in Yangchao District.

"Brother Xi, why did we come here to live, and even book this place? If you want to stay for a long time, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to just buy an apartment? The housing prices are rising now, and if you don't want to live here anymore, you can sell it and make a profit." Yin Anwei was a little puzzled.

"In a place like Huajing, many bosses live in hotels, which makes it convenient to discuss business. It's inconvenient for some people to visit them at home. Besides, I'm too lazy to clean, and the hotel has people to do the cleaning, which is so convenient." Chen Xi explained casually.

In fact, there was another reason why he booked the hotel room, which was that he also lived here in his previous life.

He has two companies in Huajing, one in Yangchao District and the other on the Fourth Ring Road, but the office building there will not be completed until next year.

"Brother Xi, can you now tell me what you are going to do? You have been running around so much during this period that I can't understand what you are doing." Yin Anwei really couldn't hold it in any longer.

"All I have to do is..."

Chen Xi began to talk about the project he was about to do.

This project was divided into several sections in the previous life.

Agricultural sector, new energy vehicles, e-commerce platforms, logistics, finance, etc.

Let’s start with the agricultural sector. Why should we engage in agriculture?

That’s because the policy originally proposed above is the Three Rural Policies.

What is the Three Rural Policies?

The "Three Rural Policies" refer to a series of policy measures formulated for agriculture, rural areas and farmers. They are mainly formulated in the process of rapid urbanization and industrialization to protect the basic status of agriculture, promote rural economic development and safeguard the interests of farmers. Its goal is to achieve agricultural modernization, rural prosperity and farmers' wealth, and promote the integrated development of urban and rural areas.

This includes food production and security, increasing farmers' income and poverty alleviation, rural reform and development, rural construction and governance, agricultural science and technology innovation and promotion, etc.

Next is the e-commerce sector. This is not an online shopping platform for diversified products like Taobao and JD.com, but a proprietary platform that focuses on agricultural products and helps farmers open up sales channels.

In the previous life, there was a very famous grocery shopping platform that was related to this project.

So, why doesn't the government do this kind of project related to people's livelihood itself, but instead throws it to outside companies?

This brings us to another organization, which plays an important role in rural economic development - the supply and marketing cooperative.

Many people's impression of this organization may still be stuck in the past, as supply and marketing cooperatives often appeared in some early TV dramas.

Supply and marketing cooperatives are important commodity supply and agricultural product purchasing points in rural areas. They are the product of the early planned economy era. After many reforms and adjustments, they have now developed into cooperative economic organizations with modern management methods and comprehensive service capabilities.

Its functions and tasks vary according to its location. Grassroots supply and marketing cooperatives are mainly responsible for purchasing agricultural and sideline products, selling agricultural production and living materials, and providing farmers with comprehensive services such as processing, storage, transportation, packaging, information, and technical consultation. In addition to exercising the functions of investors in cooperative-owned enterprises, cooperatives at or above the county level focus on fulfilling the functions of guiding, coordinating, serving, and supervising member cooperatives at all levels.

The levels are divided into district, county, city and provincial levels. The highest one is the National Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and the location is naturally in Huajing.

The characteristics of the supply and marketing cooperatives are similar to those of the agricultural cooperatives in the Land of Sakura. The only major difference is that one is directly managed by the government, while the other is operated with official support.

Don’t underestimate the supply and marketing cooperative organization. It has more than tens of thousands of enterprises under it, and many of them are large groups.

The revenue of a provincial supply and marketing cooperative alone is hundreds of billions of yuan.

Now is the Internet age. Supply and marketing cooperatives are like old cars. Their business methods have been gradually eliminated. If they want to reform, they need to find someone to cooperate with. Because they have tried to build an e-commerce platform, but failed. Speaking of this, some people may be thinking, what the hell does this have to do with new energy, logistics, and finance?

Let’s talk about new energy vehicles. Chen Xi was one of the first people in China to come into contact with new energy vehicles, and he was also the first to install charging piles on a large scale in the northern region.

What is a large area? It naturally refers to the entire northern part with Huajing as the center (excluding the three provinces).

Some people may think that new energy vehicles were not very useful in the early days, especially in the north. In cold weather, even the car doors might not be opened. So why install them on a large scale?
Regardless of what it is used for, it has been laid out anyway. As it was later proven, charging piles have been gradually laid out all over the country.

One of the reasons is naturally subsidies, another is layout issues, and the other is other reasons.

When it comes to new energy vehicles, ordinary people in the early days thought that making cars could make money, and many investors spent a lot of money on it.

In the later period, the news on the Internet kept saying that making cars was not profitable and was even a loss-making business. There were almost no car companies that made profits by making cars.

But why are there still so many bosses building cars?
The reason is that in the early days, there were huge subsidies for car manufacturing and consumers also received subsidies for buying cars. This is also a new policy issued by the government to promote the development of new energy vehicles, so many companies built cars for subsidies and also made money from investors.

If they do this, it is only a matter of time before the car companies go bankrupt.

In the later period, although new energy vehicles were gradually accepted by people, many early car manufacturers could not hold on and went bankrupt, and then a large number of new car companies emerged one after another.

At that time, the subsidies were already very small, but many bosses were still trying to squeeze into the circle. In fact, they were not doing so to make money by building cars, but to share an idea with Chen Xi, which was to make money by relying on the new energy vehicle ecosystem.

To put it another way, making cars may actually be a loss-making business. The reason for making cars is that a car is just a prop, and the car company bosses and capital want to use the props to make money elsewhere.

The energy vehicle industry is very complex and cannot be understood by ordinary people.

For example, when new energy vehicles first came out, the biggest problem was mileage, or the battery problem.

When a new car leaves the factory, its range is about 140 to 160 kilometers. This is also advertised to the outside world, but in reality it can only run about 120 kilometers.

From the early lead-acid batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries to the later ternary lithium batteries and lithium-ion batteries, battery technology has indeed developed, but not much.

Why do I say that? Actually, many "new" batteries have already been released. In other words, early new energy vehicles were not only able to run more than 100 kilometers.

The reason why it is like squeezing toothpaste, and every year we say that the battery has made new technological breakthroughs and the mileage has increased, is that it is an operational means.

Just like the graphics cards of Invicta, they have been researching several generations of new products, and I sell them bit by bit. If I just give you high-quality products, it will be like a mobile phone. If you buy a high-performance one, you will not buy a new one next time without considering the battery life. In Chen Xi's eyes, the so-called new energy vehicles are more like electronic products than cars.

However, there are several reasons for this. One of them is cost. With the continuous advancement of technology and further reduction of costs, more efficient batteries are being used more and more widely in new energy vehicles.

If we talk about the more famous companies making new energy vehicle batteries in China, most people will probably think of a certain era.

In fact, his appearance did standardize the batteries of all kinds of car companies, but if you want to say which battery manufacturer's products were considered top-notch in the early days, Chen Xi actually knew one, which was an unknown battery manufacturer that few people knew about in the early days.

New energy vehicles have new technologies but they are not used, and the prices of vehicles are rising instead of falling. Even foreign new energy vehicles wanted to lower their prices but gave up inexplicably in the end.

This is because the bosses of these new energy vehicle companies have learned their lesson. After seeing a continuous number of new energy vehicle companies go bankrupt, they feel that instead of fighting each other, which would eventually lead to their demise, it would be better to unite and set a unified and similar price and similar technology. As long as they do not surpass their peers too much, then everyone will have a chance to survive.

Anyway, everyone’s goal is not to make money by selling cars, but to make profits from other things. As long as the car companies do not collapse, they will have a chance to turn around.

In fact, this phenomenon occurs in every industry. If an industry troublemaker appears and wants to break the rules, as long as he is not too strong, they will unite to resist him.

Chen Xi does not manufacture cars himself, he only invests or purchases, and uses the products of new energy car companies to install in his own projects to make money. To this end, he has also established relationships with many car companies, such as JAC.

He remembered that a fellow villager from Jianghuai Province once came to his company to raise funds, but Chen Xi did not invest.

That person's idea was very novel and was considered to be out of the box at that time.

Other people's cars rely on charging, but his car's battery can be replaced directly like a mobile phone.

At that time, many people were not optimistic about this method, including Chen Xi. Moreover, Chen Xi was going to lay charging piles, and you also asked me to replace the battery, which seemed to be a conflict, so the project was passed by.

However, Chen Xi did not regret it. If he had the chance again, he would still not invest. Because although many people invested in the project in the later stage, those who invested in the early stage did not seem to make any money.

Let’s talk about the relationship between new energy vehicles and logistics, which has already been mentioned before.

One of Chen Xi’s projects is similar to Zhou Sheng’s, which is to rely on the platform to build a logistics network, which is the Hungry Dragon and Hail Hop model he developed in Australia.

The company purchases cars cheaply from car manufacturers and then provides them to drivers in installments. If you have your own car, you can register it and get the job done directly.

But Hungry Dragon is a food delivery platform, which is different.

In China, Chen Xi directly replaced agricultural products with takeout, and also implemented Internet drug purchases. Of course, online drug purchases require documents, which was also done.

Another difference between Lalahuo and Zhou Sheng’s business is that Lalahuo basically focuses on urban business, while Chen Xi is also involved in rural logistics, which is completely different.

The roads in rural areas are definitely not as good as those in cities. They are not suitable for laying electric charging piles or new energy vehicles.

Especially the rural areas in the north are not as wealthy as those in the south. You won’t see small villas for every family or cement roads.

But rural people also need to shop online, and logistics is essential.

So Chen Xi got different types of vehicles to adapt to rural areas. Some were electric tricycles, which were the kind of vehicles driven by couriers that appeared in most cities in the late period of his previous life. There were also trucks similar to pickup trucks, followed by vans and so on.

Different areas use different models.

Next is the financial aspect. A project cannot just invest money without making a profit. The addition of financial products is very common in various domestic projects.

When it comes to financial products, there are some that Chen Xi doesn't quite agree with.

But he is not the only one who has the final say in the company. The project is so big that there are naturally many shareholders. Nodding in agreement on certain things is also a kind of compromise.

Just like other platforms, lending business was naturally added.

No matter which one of these projects is chosen, the investment funds are very large, let alone adding them together.

The first phase of investment funds has reached a terrifying number - more than 380 billion.

I guess many people have no idea about this amount of money. Take a certain gorge dam as an example. Taking inflation into account, the investment in the first phase of this project is almost enough to build a dam.

Of course, this is the budget, and in reality it is not necessary to spend so much. After all, agricultural development is a long-term issue and can be invested slowly.

How can such a huge amount of funds be raised? This is similar to the construction of Huajing Electronics Factory, which requires the efforts and cooperation of all parties to complete.

However, there is a prerequisite: there cannot be any foreign capital in these funds, and no companies with foreign shareholdings can participate. After all, this is a people's livelihood project. This is one of the reasons why Feng Yun could not take over this project in his previous life.

Fortunately, this is an official project, so many things went relatively smoothly.

In fact, the investment funds were resolved in the previous life, but the problem lies in the distribution of interests, which is when internal strife emerged.

Everyone thinks they have made the greatest contribution and want to get more. Some think they have paid more money, some think they have worked harder, and some think they have more connections, etc. (End of this chapter)
