Galaxy Technology Empire

Peking International Airport.

A Dongdao Airlines passenger plane landed slowly on the runway.

Passengers got off the plane one by one.

"Huh!" As soon as Ma Wu stepped out of the cabin, the cold outside gave him a warning.

A young man wrapped tightly behind him let out a sigh of relief: "Huh! Is this Peiping? It's so cold!"

"Let's go!" Team leader Song Ping smiled and asked everyone to go outside the airport.

"knew."

"I'm coming to Peiping!"

"This is my first time to the mainland."

A group of young people put their arms around each other and talked loudly.

They are students from the East Island Campus of the United Universe University, and they are students majoring in astronauts. There are thirty students in total, plus a team leader and instructor, and three teachers.

Instructor Zhou Libin frowned and coughed dryly: "Ahem! Pay attention to your image!"

A group of young people suddenly became quiet after hearing Zhou Libin's voice.

The weather in Peiping today is sunny, with only some thin snow on the ground.

Song Ping and Zhou Libin took a group of people to the airport gate, where two Pengpai Lotus electric buses were already waiting for them.

The group will take the bus to the train station, and then take the train to continue northward to Sangendalai, the former Hunshandake Sand Land, which is now the Sand Capital.

The bus slowly started to leave the airport.

In the car, a group of young people were talking quietly.

Not all the astronauts in this professional class are Dongdao locals. 17 people are mainland students, and the remaining 13 are Dongdao locals. Among them is Ma Wu, who previously switched to the astronaut major.

But even among mainland students, most of them have never been to Beiping City.

Ma Wu looked at the excited Liao Qingsong and asked curiously: "Isn't Qingsong's home in Luoyang? It's quite close to Beiping City! Have you never been to Beiping?"

"No! It's not easy for my family to support my education. How can I have the money to travel to Peking?" Liao Qingsong said helplessly.

Ma Wu also knew more or less about Liao Qingsong's family background. The reason why he changed his major from South China Institute of Technology to United Universe University and also chose the astronaut major.

Mainly because the astronaut major at United Universe University is free, and it also includes food and accommodation and an annual subsidy of 12,000 Mars coins. If you have excellent grades, you can also apply for a scholarship.

For students from poor families, this is a big temptation.

Of course, the astronaut profession is very hard and not something that ordinary people can bear.

“There are so many electric vehicles in the mainland!”

"There are not many in Beiping, only in my hometown. Almost all of them are electric vehicles."

"So many electric vehicles must consume a lot of electricity, right? There are frequent power outages in Hsinchu and Taoyuan. How about your place?"

"Um...have you seen the ceilings above those street lamps?"

"What's the mystery behind these ceilings?"

"These roofs are made of solar power-generating films. This year, the total annual power generation in the Mainland has reached more than 8 trillion kilowatt-hours. The electricity generated by these electric vehicles is trivial." Liao Qingsong explained, pointing to the solar power-generating films on the roofs.

"More than 8 trillion kilowatt-hours?" Ma Wu was very surprised. He turned on his holographic bracelet and clicked on Star Search.

"Dongdao should soon have no shortage of electricity. After all, your big boss is Galaxy Technology, and these solar power thin films are their products."

"Holy crap! It's true!"

Liao Qingsong looked as if you were very strange.

On the cold and windy road, two Pengpai Lotus electric buses arrived at the door of the train station.

Galaxy Technology's branch in Peiping has purchased train tickets for them.

At the train station, they saw the flow of people during the Spring Festival. It was a huge crowd. Fortunately, the branch had purchased train tickets for them in advance. In addition, the popularity of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen has declined in the past two years, so the train station was not so crowded.

The reason why the popularity of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen has declined is that on the one hand, the sudden emergence of Shanmei, the science and technology capital, has diverted a lot of labor force.

On the other hand, the promotion of rural cooperatives has allowed some migrant workers to return to their hometowns to start businesses or work, which has also brought back part of the labor force.

The emergence of this phenomenon also indicates that the domestic economy is moving towards a relatively balanced state, the attractiveness of large economic zones is declining, and the Matthew Effect has also been weakened.

In January this year, housing prices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen dropped slightly. From the beginning of 2018 to the beginning of 2019, housing prices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen dropped by about 14 to 16% cumulatively. Other large cities also experienced a downward trend in housing prices to varying degrees.

On the contrary, housing prices in small counties have increased, but not significantly.

In addition, the diversion and return of labor has also led to an increase in wage levels, which is also a last resort choice for those companies.

The group companies under Galaxy Technology alone have attracted millions of laborers, and they are relatively high-end labor force.

After all, Galaxy Technology's salary is at least 30% higher than that of other companies for the same professional position.

The most important thing is to have housing allocation. Even in Galaxy Technology branches or group companies in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, those employees have housing quotas. This is also the reason why Planet Group’s revenue is very large, but its profits are very low.

In this way, if other companies don't improve employee benefits, they really won't be able to retain people.

After all, some bosses or entrepreneurs like to boast about their so-called dreams without giving them actual benefits.

Given a choice, these dream companies will definitely not be able to retain people.

On the train.

Ma Wu looked at the scenery passing by outside the window. He was surprised by the development of the mainland. It was completely different from the education they had received for more than 20 years.

A year and a half ago, he went to Mi Li's home in San Francisco as an exchange student. At that time, he was still very proud that he could go to Mi Li's home.

Now that he has come to the mainland, he knows that the development of Dong Tang is no less than that of the Mi Li family, or even worse.

Dongdao's sense of crisis and isolation is also reflected in Mawu, so they worship the strong and long for recognition.

After the drastic changes in Dongdao, that sense of confusion also enveloped all Dongdao people.

However, with the continuous in-depth exchanges between Dongdao and the mainland, especially the tolerance and understanding of the younger generation, this confusion is temporary and time will dilute everything.

People like Ma Wu were the first to change their mentality. They suddenly felt like they were back in a big family.

My thoughts are wandering, but the train is still moving forward in that way.

As we get closer and closer to Sangenda, the sand capital, the scenery on both sides of the railway is also changing.

Rows of huge glass greenhouses and wind turbines come into view.

"Awesome!"

"I heard that this place used to be a desert. It's really hard to imagine."

“The project to recreate the Yellow River is no joke.”

"Even a desert will turn into a forest if tens of billions of cubic meters of fresh water are injected into it every year."

"Rebuild the Yellow River and oasis, dare to make the sun and moon change the sky."

Listening to the lofty words of all his classmates, Ma Wu suddenly felt a sense of pride.

"Isn't it so shocking! This is also the first time I have seen the magnificence of the Sand City." Liao Qingsong bumped Ma Wu's arm.

"Yes! It's so shocking." Ma Wu replied with a smile.

As we get closer and closer to Sangenda, the capital of sand.

Outside the car window, there are not only huge glass greenhouses and wind turbines, but also some trees and shrubs and grasslands that have lost their leaves.

From time to time there are also some artificial lakes that are frozen, and these artificial lakes are used to improve the local climate.
