Chapter 391 Who says he is so awesome?
"Sure enough, this person can't help but pretend!"

After winning the "Is Li Yan Pretending?" competition, Deng Yudi cheered in the dormitory even though it was already after midnight.

In this BGI dormitory which only houses Future Technology employees, three teenagers were excitedly amazed at the miracle of another teenager.

"We need to speed up our ultra-high compression algorithm!" Lai Yining simply turned on the light. "From what Yan Shen said, the system must be ready before New Year's Day. We can't fall behind!"

"...I'm not optimistic." Deng Yudi said.

"What are you not optimistic about?"

"What else can it be? It must be our super high compression. I dare not be pessimistic about Yan Shen's arrangement." Deng Yudi covered his face.

"Yes, at this rate, it feels like we haven't even solved the core technical difficulties, let alone using it in a system we don't even know what it is." Lai Yining sighed, "Hey, have you seen the Luoshen kernel?"

"Look at the ball, there is no way this thing can be released unless we have time to go to Future Technology." Deng Yudi shrugged.

"I'm actually a little stressed." Lai Yining shook his head, "I'm even worried that going to Future Technology would be a waste of... Yan Shen's time."

"Why aren't you talking, Brother Xiang?" Deng Yudi noticed that He Zixiang had sat up from the bed but didn't say a word.

He Zixiang opened his mouth for a long time before finally sighing, "I just feel... a little stressed. Just like Yining said, could it be that we are doing some kind of super-high compression here and are also wasting Yan Shen's time?"

"Don't worry, you have to be confident. We are not ordinary people." Lai Yining said with a smile.

"In front of someone who has developed a self-developed operating kernel in half a year, everyone is no match for him." He Zixiang lowered his head.

"I wonder if Chen Fan, that kid, has made amazing progress after learning from Yan Shen." Deng Yudi changed his perspective.

"I don't think so." He Zixiang continued, "From what he usually says, you can tell that he can't keep up with Yan Shen at all."

"Zixiang, why are you suddenly so depressed?" Lai Yining was a little puzzled.

Although as He Zixiang said, they are just "ordinary people" in front of Li Yan, but in front of most people, they are "genius teenagers".

The progress of the ultra-high compression algorithm is not very good, but it is already remarkable that there is progress at all.

"Are you comparing yourself to Yan Shen again?" Deng Yudi asked, "I told you a long time ago that you should learn from Chen Fan. We don't have to compare ourselves to everyone. That would be unpleasant..."

"No, none of them." He Zixiang turned off the light and lay back on the bed.

After a moment of silence, his voice came from the darkness:

"I'm just worried that the results of our three people's hard work are worthless to Li Yan."

"I'm just worried... that the problems we can't solve yet, Li Yan can easily solve them."

"I am even more worried that this ultra-high compression algorithm task is just a small game he set up to increase our sense of participation."

These words made the three genius dormitory members, including himself, unable to sleep.

As for Li Yan, one of the results of the "miracle" was the investment conference organized by Linjiang Province.

The level of the meeting was very high, and the official showed enough sincerity, promising Li Yan a larger venue, higher investment, more favorable policies, and stronger technical support.

Many technology-based state-owned enterprises expressed their willingness to "cooperate" with Li Yan at the meeting, enthusiastically and sincerely.

The effect of Academician Ni's endorsement is particularly prominent on the official side. For some leaders, Li Yan's current progress is no different from bringing a mobile phone to market. China's first smartphone developed entirely from scratch will start from Linjiang and lead the world.

This sounded very delightful to them.

However, Li Yan repeatedly made it clear at the meeting that "the core is only part of it, and the real finished product still has a lot of difficulties to go through."

After talking so much, a director of a government office became a little anxious. In their understanding, Li Yan said this to give them a heads-up in case no results were achieved in the future, and their confidence dropped sharply.

Li Yan said, "It will take one month to develop the system, two months to complete the hardware and software simultaneously, and the finished product will be ready in March next year."

Much faster than anyone expected.

The atmosphere in the conference hall became more heated.

Of course Li Yan knew what these people were thinking.

As long as his mobile phone is indeed a new phone with a "self-developed system", it will be enough to make a big mark in the scientific research and development achievements of Linjiang Xinbei.

By then, Linjiang’s publicity materials will certainly include statements about how much official support it has received, making it a case of “supporting emerging private technology companies” that could not be better.

In addition, Li Yan is a genius "cultivated" in New Taipei City, Linjiang Province. This can be regarded as an extreme example to prove how awesome Linjiang's science and technology education is.

All merit.

If it sells out, it will be even more amazing.

The company kept the wealth within its own family and cultivated a leading technology company, which also brought prosperity to its tax revenue and reputation.

Looking at Director Zuo’s eyes that were almost invisible due to his smile, he should be looking at Li Yan with his eyes open, and looking at Qingyun Road with his eyes closed.

As for the state-owned enterprises in Linjiang, their calculations are even louder.

All the investments and collaborations are clearly about “sharing the results”, although some are only small parts and small technologies, but if all of these are really agreed upon, Li Yan is afraid that the thank you list at the future mobile phone conference will have to play for five minutes.

And who knows what state-owned enterprises will do?
What if one day these dozen or so state-owned enterprises suddenly become one family?

Li Yan would do whatever it takes to maintain his absolute say in future technology, so he didn't even bother to show any interest in these "cooperation" options.

There are also a few wealthy businessmen who are willing to invest tens of millions of dollars, but their return requirements are quite high.

Han Zheng, who had 5 million, didn’t ask me for shares, but he asked for % for million?

The key point is that those who came to him from outside and offered to invest had larger capital injections and more reasonable return demands, but Li Yan did not consider this group of investors with official backgrounds at all.

However, he does have some things that require sufficient support from the official side.

As he gave little response to requests for investment and technical support, the senior leaders, who had been quite relaxed, became a little nervous.

Especially in New Taipei.

They were all worried that maybe some place had offered Li Yan very favorable conditions and wanted to poach him away from Linjiang.

For example... going to Beijing?
It is a holy land for mobile phone research and development, with a very mature industrial chain that Linjiang can hardly provide.

There are also Hua Xia University and Shanghai Institute of Technology, which are crowded with talented people, which is something Linjiang cannot compare with.

The provincial leaders have been looking at the mayor of New Taipei City with indescribable eyes.

If New Taipei City cannot retain Future Technology, I don’t think you will be able to retain this position either.

"Don't worry about the investment, leaders." Li Yan said with a smile, "As for the technical support, system and mobile phone production, I have already arranged it myself. But I do have some things that I need the leaders' help to coordinate."

Everyone's faces looked much better. The fact that Li Yan asked Linjiang for help showed that he still wanted to stay here, and that was enough.

"Tell me what you need, and we will satisfy you."

"It is mainly about the functions of several aspects of software and hardware, which requires the cooperation and research of relevant departments."

As soon as these words were spoken, some leaders frowned.

"Internet mobile payment, mobile phone system security, satellite map application."

As for the basic cooperation, the province has already taken the initiative to propose it.

But what Li Yan said just now really made everyone's scalp tingle.

They knew about the satellite map. Anyway, it was not developed by Li Yan himself, and it did not involve surveying and mapping. It would be fine as long as he could deal with Wei De Company. At worst, Linjiang could come forward to coordinate.

"Mobile payment"... It's not like they haven't heard of it before. Online payment has existed since 98, when there was the "One Network" payment system. But the online payment in 98 was just a historical event, and it didn't have much practical significance, because it couldn't be promoted at all.

Let’s not talk about the conceptual issues. Even if everyone really wants to use it, the security risks are too high.

If they really want to do it, it is basically the bank’s own business.

Under the existing security system of banks, using the Internet to provide convenience to everyone is often not very convenient in the end.

Li Yan, a private company that manufactures mobile phones, wants to provide some "mobile payment" functions on its own mobile phone software?

This sounds like something that can only be praised as "imaginative".

There are so many things that need to be coordinated that even the main leaders are daunted.

The key point is that everyone can handle banking business with your mobile phone, so why should the bank support you?
Just to shoot yourself in the foot?

"Do you have any specific ideas?" asked a leader in charge of economy.

"I just want to provide a safe payment method and simply bring convenience to users," said Li Yan. "I can promise not to make financial products. I hope to have a cooperative relationship with the bank, not to replace or compete with each other. If the bank gives me this opportunity, I will provide more customers for the bank."

Words are not enough, Li Yan's words did not impress the leader.

He also saw it, so he waved his hand and said, "Of course, if the leaders think this matter is difficult, you can just tell me, and I will find another way."

Li Yan had no intention of threatening, he could swear on his conscience.

But in the eyes of the leaders, this brat was just relying on his own arrogance to give them a hard time.

It’s a pity that there’s nothing we can do. Who can blame him for being so awesome?

"It is indeed difficult," the leader said, "but we must overcome it. We are willing to help you if you need it. It's just that this matter is more complicated and requires you to provide more detailed and specific content. We may also make some requests. Can you accept it?"

"Of course, it's no problem. It's mutual."

The leaders smiled, and then suddenly thought back to what Li Yan said about "mutual"...

"Dear leaders, we have to produce the finished product by March next year. If we want this phone to be truly groundbreaking and create history, we cannot let any step down."

After Li Yan left, the leaders stayed and held an internal meeting.

He first got angry at Li Yan's "threat", then crazily complained about the outrageous idea of ​​"mobile payment", and kept sighing that Li Yan's wolfish ambition was enough to swallow the sky and the moon.

Then they each smoked two cigarettes, walked around, and chatted about some gossip.

Finally, they began to think about how to arrange the tasks, and "must stabilize Li Yan and show him our sincerity."

There’s nothing I can do, who says he’s so awesome?

Li Yan had just left the compound and walked to the bus stop to wait for the bus.

Yes, Boss Li came to the compound by bus.

Public transportation is green and low-carbon and is worth promoting.

Of course this is bullshit.

If he could go out in a Rolls-Royce every day, he would definitely not take the bus.

But he is a minor and cannot drive himself; he should find a driver. Most of the time, he only travels to school, and when he occasionally goes on a long trip, the commuting fee is usually paid by others, so he never needs a driver.

There is really no need to spend money to hire a driver who basically does no work.

Moreover, the job of the boss's personal driver actually has very high requirements.

This driver needs to be carefully selected, must know how to keep secrets, and must be a trustworthy person.

Li Yan became lazy when she thought about this and had no motivation to find a driver.

When he encounters people like this coming to the meeting, no one will provide them with a car. At a time when the taxi-hailing software he is planning to launch has not yet become popular, he can only rely on reliable buses and unreliable taxis.

I was thinking about all sorts of things when suddenly a black Maybach stopped in front of the bus stop - just in position so as not to affect the running of the bus.

Then a well-dressed male driver in a suit and tie got out of the car and walked straight towards Li Yan.

Li Yan thought Wang Zi had secretly arranged a driver for him. He was wondering whether this was a response to his boss's needs or flattery, when he heard the visitor say:
"Mr. Li, Mr. Wei would like to invite you to have lunch and chat at noon. Are you free?"

Everyone at the bus stop was stunned, and soon someone recognized it was Li Yan and started whispering.

No, brother, doesn't this scene look a bit too pretentious?

I'm waiting for the bus at the fucking bus stop!

It was turned into a joke!

Li Yan didn't think about it too much. He still remembered the license plate of the car. It was the car he took back to play golf last time. He just didn't know why the driver had changed.

He nodded and got in the car.

"Mr. Li, there is water on your left, warm or cold, please help yourself."

It seems... I still need a driver.

Just experience life.

The car started steadily, and Li Yan could ask her own questions:
"How did Mr. Wei know I was here?"

"He knows that you're here for the meeting. I've been waiting here since early morning. I'll be waiting for you at the door as soon as the meeting is over."

The driver was quite young, spoke very gently and clearly, and his communication was non-aggressive.

"This makes me have to go."

"No, you can refuse without any reason."

"Wouldn't that waste your whole morning?"

The driver didn't expect Li Yan to have this angle at all, and was unable to respond for a moment. Finally, he smiled innocently:
"Boss Li, I'm not wasting my time. This is my duty."

"I really don't have anything urgent to do this afternoon, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come." Li Yan said with a fake relaxed look, "Boss Wei has even taken this into account?"

"Mr. Wei won't pry into your privacy. Your schedule is a business secret." The driver quickly replied, "In fact, Mr. Wei didn't expect you to agree today. He told me that you were very busy. If you refuse today, at least he will send you back to the company."

"Good."

The driver naturally didn't understand what Li Yan was bragging about, so he didn't ask and just drove quietly.

Li Yan just watched the increasing number of skyscrapers outside the window.

Came to the familiar Baijiang New Town again... huh?

How did the car pass directly by the Yili Group headquarters building?

Li Yan's mind was filled with alarm bells, and his muscles were tense. He had instantly thought of a hundred ways to make the driver lose his fighting power. He chose a spot that was long enough for the car to buffer. He would deal with the driver in one second, and then turn over and step on the brakes in one second. It seemed that he had to learn how to drive no matter what...

No, there was a banquet at noon, so we should just go directly to the place to eat.

In just a short moment, Li Yan's mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that our destination is Mr. Wei's home."

what?
