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

Huajing, the Greater China Association of New Returnees.

"Since the establishment of our association, we have been adhering to the core concept of equality and mutual assistance, and resolutely abandoned the capitalist ethos advocated by the Young Returnees Association. We advocate the spirit of joint production and joint innovation, which has enabled us to establish a pleasant cooperative relationship with official departments. After in-depth exchanges with overseas patriots and relevant official departments, we decided to jointly launch a new model - the sharing model, which can also be called the sharing economy or the sharing economy. This is a new economic model that subverts tradition and is full of vitality."

Yang Xiao sat in the main seat of the conference room, pointed to the screen projected on the projector, and continued to explain: "The core of the sharing model lies in the sharing, joint use and collaborative cooperation of resources. The purpose is to break the barriers of resource monopoly and maximize the utilization of resources, thereby improving social efficiency and convenience and injecting new vitality into economic and social development. This model not only reflects our commitment to efficient use of resources and environmental protection, but also demonstrates our persistent pursuit of social equity and justice."

Seeing that everyone present looked confused, Yang Xiao could only explain in another way: "Everyone may have had the experience of borrowing books from the library. You know that you need a deposit or ID to borrow books from the library, and then you are charged according to the number of days you borrow or other methods. This model is actually very flexible and effective. It ensures the effective use of resources and also brings stable operating income to the library.

So, since the library model works successfully, why can't we apply it to other products? For example, bicycles! We can imagine a scenario where users find nearby shared bicycles through a mobile phone app, scan the QR code to unlock them, and then pay according to the riding time or distance. This is like the library's book borrowing model, except that we replace books with bicycles.

This shared bike model not only allows users to enjoy convenient travel services anytime and anywhere, but also ensures the effective use of resources and the company's profitability through reasonable billing methods. More importantly, it is in line with our concept of sharing economy, that is, to meet people's needs through sharing resources, while improving resource utilization, reducing waste, and achieving sustainable economic and social development.

This project is sponsored by overseas people and the government, and is run by our Dahua New Returnees Association..."

“This project is great!”

"I think we can come up with some other sharing products, such as power banks, cars, and office spaces."

"Pa pa pa! The president is still brave enough to think and do it!"

"Clap clap clap."

After Yang Xiao finished speaking, everyone said that this was a good project. Some people gave their opinions, and those who didn't know what to say just imitated the others and started clapping.

For a moment, Yang Xiao was full of confidence.

Although the development pace of the Dahua New Returnees Association may have been slow in the past, humans are complex creatures. As shown in the movie "Divergent", everyone holds their own ideas in their hearts, and society is naturally divided into different factions.

The division of these factions is essentially for the pursuit of long-term peace and effective management of social order. Each faction carries unique values, shoulders specific social responsibilities, and has formed its own distinctive lifestyle. In fact, there is no absolute right or wrong, and each faction plays an irreplaceable role within its framework.

Although the Greater China Association of New Returnees and the Youth Association of Returnees have different development paths, they are both important components of the returnee community. With the continuous expansion of the membership of the Greater China Association of New Returnees and the deepening of its cooperation with official agencies and people from all walks of life overseas, the Association is showing a vigorous development momentum and gradually narrowing the gap with the Youth Association of Returnees.

Huajing, in the office of a leader of a relevant department.

Zheng Wei was reporting on the latest situation at this time: "At present, local overseas returnees associations have been established in major cities across the country. The membership growth rate of the Youth Overseas Returnees Association and the Dahua Guoxin Overseas Returnees Association is decreasing..."

"Yeah, not bad." The man sitting on the chair nodded slightly.

"The development of the association requires funds. Most of the funds of the overseas returnees associations in various places come from membership fees, and a small part comes from official subsidies. But this may not work in the long run, after all, you can join and then withdraw. My idea is to refer to the model of those calligraphy associations. Organize more activities to give them the opportunity to show up in the local media. Promote cooperation between local areas and these people, so that local associations can survive..." Zheng Wei said as he handed over the materials he had written.

The man flipped through the materials for a few seconds and then put them down. "Well, this is what we thought before. No matter what we do, we have to keep the three parties in a state of balance. This is what we hope to see."

"Understood." Zheng Wei received the instructions and nodded slightly.

He understood that the leader did not want to see either the Youth Returnees Association or the Dahua Guoxin Returnees Association dominate.

Seeing that the other party understood his intention, the man continued: "Nowadays, many such organizations have emerged at home and abroad, such as the XX Calligraphy Association, the XX Film Association, the XX Writers Association, and so on. Unfortunately, some organizations recruit members without official permission, and there are many people with ill intentions who try to use this to seek personal gain. Therefore, we need to strengthen the management and regulation of such organizations to ensure the legality and legitimacy of their activities..."

"I understand." Zheng Wei listened to his leader's words and nodded again thoughtfully.

What the man just said was correct, there were countless non-governmental and officially recognized organizations like this around the world, so many that no one knew about them.

If it is not properly managed, anything can happen.

America.

Uber, a travel service company founded earlier than Chen Xi's Hail Hop, has just completed its Series B financing.

However, its model is different from Hail Hop, and the situation in the United States and Australia is also different, which led to Uber not making a profit in its early days, but experiencing a period of rapid expansion and losses. Specifically, Uber has lost at least $2000 million this year, and the losses are still increasing.

At present, Uber's model is mainly based on online car-hailing services based on smartphone applications. Passengers can book a car through the mobile application, and the driver will pick up the passenger at the designated location after receiving the order. This model has subverted the traditional taxi industry in many countries and provided a more convenient and flexible way of travel.

However, it seems to be facing obstacles everywhere in Australia because Hail Hop has already occupied the local market.

Uber's business now covers many countries, such as the United States, Canada, and some Asian countries, including Australia.

Uber had already done some research when it first entered Australia, and they didn't take the Hail Hop seriously at all.

The result is that Australians have become accustomed to using Hail Hop and are unwilling to change to other software.

As a result, Uber had no choice but to increase its discounts to attract customers, which led to an increasing financial burden on the company.

At this time, in an office at Uber's headquarters, two men were talking continuously.

"This is not a solution. I've calculated that the company will lose nearly $6000 million by next year."

"Don't panic. As long as the company grows in size and its operating efficiency improves, Uber will gradually become profitable."

"Why don't we start business in China? The market there is relatively large." "You may not know, but two platforms suddenly appeared in China not long ago, one is called 'Bibi Taxi' and the other is called 'Go Lahuo'. Bibi Taxi is similar to our product, but Go Lahuo not only transports goods, but also people... And I heard that there is also a cargo Dudu in Hong Kong. They only transport goods and not people, but I think they will definitely add passenger business in the future..."

"It's said that Asia is very competitive, but this is too competitive... I still want to expand my business there. Let's not do it too big, just try it out in a few first-tier cities, and if it doesn't work, we'll withdraw... If we want the company to survive, we can only continue to expand its scale. Then we can hold on until it goes public..."

"Okay, whatever you want. But we have to stabilize the situation in Australia first."

"Ah."

The two men discussed for a while and reached a consensus.

A county in Jiangxi Province.

"Mr. Chen, the specialties of our county are sun-dried tobacco, lilies, red wine, purple rice..." In the field, a man enthusiastically introduced the local specialty agricultural products to Chen Xi.

This is Sun Hua, the receptionist at the local supply and marketing cooperative.

Sun-cured tobacco, as the name suggests, is tobacco made by drying in the sun. It usually has the characteristics of golden color, soft texture, thin leaves and fine veins, and oily and mellow fragrance.

"Well, Guixian County has a history of more than 600 years of sun-dried tobacco cultivation, which is a traditional cash crop in the area. Over a long period of time, Guixian County has accumulated rich experience in sun-dried tobacco cultivation and production, which makes the quality of sun-dried tobacco unique. The quality and taste of this sun-dried tobacco vary depending on its origin, climate, soil, and planting and drying techniques. Although sun-dried tobacco is available in many parts of the country, Guixian County's sun-dried tobacco is the most famous.

As for Guixian's red wine, it is said that its brewing history can be traced back to more than 600 years ago. At that time, Ye Zhengshou, who was born in a scholarly family, vigorously promoted and improved the rice wine brewing process in the Central Plains region based on the special conditions of high mountains, cold water, and frozen ground, as well as the needs of production and life. This tradition gradually spread in Guixian, and every household brewed unique red wine.

Moreover, your red wine is different from foreign red wine. Foreign red wine is generally brewed with grapes, while the main raw materials of Guixian red wine are high-quality polished rice and glutinous rice produced in the local town. It is initially brewed through traditional unique processes such as steaming polished rice and fermenting it. After fermenting with red koji mixed with glutinous rice, it is added to the initially brewed rice wine and soaked for a period of time. Finally, it is filtered to remove the residue, warmed to boiling point, and canned with porcelain to seal it, which is the finished red wine..." Chen Xi said as he walked.

"Pa pa pa." The people accompanying behind him were all shocked after hearing this, and then they started applauding.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Chen knows our county so well. People who came here in the past would sneer at the word red wine. They even thought we were imitating foreign countries to make domestic wine!" Sun Hua excitedly shook Chen Xi's hand.

"I came here to investigate, naturally I want to understand the local situation clearly..." Chen Xi replied somewhat embarrassedly.

He had been here in his previous life, and he already knew the situation here.

"The purpose of our visit this time is, first, to establish a logistics point, second, to see how the local specialty agricultural products are packaged and sold, third, to test agricultural drones, and fourth..." Chen Xi looked at Sun Hua and explained, his voice getting smaller and smaller at the end.

The other party also understood Chen Xi's intention of coming here, but there was an embarrassed look on his face, as if he had no way to solve it.

It is completely impossible to carry out business here with Xiaojiang drones to transport goods because the local richest man strongly opposes it.

According to Sun Hua's explanation, many industries in the county are owned by the richest man.

It can be said that many people in the village depend on the richest man for their livelihood. Even the roads and bridges in the village were built by the richest man.

In fact, in the early days, rural or remote areas would raise funds to build roads, and passing cars had to pay tolls if they wanted to pass. If the other party didn't want you to pass, you could only take a detour.

This is the current situation in the local area. The richest man does not allow drones to fly in the sky, saying that he is afraid that someone will secretly take pictures of his privacy or use drones to carry weapons to commit murder and robbery.

As for why the logistics company's vehicles were not allowed to pass, his reason was that he did not want any disorderly people to come to the county, and it was also for the sake of local security.

"Then please take us to the home of the richest man in the area so that I can sit down and have a chat with him." Chen Xi said with a smile.

It's not like he hasn't seen this richest man before. To be more precise, he is an old acquaintance of his!

Sun Hua wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Mr. Chen, you must communicate well when you go there, and don't cause any trouble, otherwise my words won't be effective..."

"I understand." Seeing Sun Hua so nervous, Chen Xi also understood.

The jobs of so many people in the county are provided by him, and the locals don't want to offend this God of Wealth.

Twenty minutes later, several black business cars stopped at the gate of a large compound.

It is called a large courtyard, but it is not a courtyard like the one in Huajing. Its area is so large that it is staggering.

In front of the gate, stone lions stand guard, majestic and awe-inspiring. Surrounded by lush trees, it not only isolates the noise from the outside world, but also adds a bit of mystery and tranquility.

The gatehouse of the compound is tall and decorated with carved beams and painted buildings. Above the lintel hangs a huge plaque with the two characters "Wangfu" engraved in flowing calligraphy.

As the business car stopped, the door slowly opened, and the people brought by Chen Xi looked at the plaque above their heads with curiosity.

"Haha, you really think you're a prince!" Chen Xi pointed at the plaque and chuckled.

"Mr. Chen, the richest man in our area is surnamed Wang, so the plaque says 'Wang's Mansion', not 'Prince'..." The accompanying Sun Hua explained while wiping his sweat.

It is already late autumn, and the weather is not hot, but Sun Hua keeps sweating.

This was not because he was afraid of losing his job, but because he was afraid of offending the richest man and thus losing his life. (End of this chapter)
