Chapter 427: The Outrageous Legend of Future Technology
March has been incredibly busy for FutureTech.

All the tasks assigned by Li Yan were fully implemented, and everyone was busy.

In a company with hundreds of employees, everyone seems to be working. Occasionally, some people stand up to pour water and chat, but they return to their workstations after a while.

It's very similar to the effect performed in TV dramas to show busyness.

In fact, it stands to reason that Li Yan seldom goes to "inspect" everyone's work situation. At least he doesn't seem to care about slacking off at work, and he almost doesn't even have any requirements for clocking in and out. With such management, the working atmosphere should be very relaxed (there are a lot of slackers).

But because Li Yan was assigned many projects and the deadline was tight, everyone from top to bottom had very specific tasks.

It can be regarded as a new version of "controlling" everyone directly by using the division of labor table.

But this time Li Yan didn't give too many detailed instructions, and everyone had to work together to complete the task.

A lot of communication is required between projects. Sometimes, while I am working on my work, someone from the other side comes to ask about the connection, and I have to answer because I may have questions to ask others the next second...

All in all, the atmosphere is very good, so good that even people like Sun Miao and Zhou Yang who have worked in big companies would be amazed.

"Clear division of labor" is actually an important factor in improving productivity, and it is easily overlooked.

Moreover, speaking of "work value" alone, this kind of work intensity, which is challenging but not too busy, coupled with the "history-making" level of work expectations, is simply sweet for employees who are trying to create value and are still in a state of freshness.

There is no internal fighting at all. This state can be maintained for at least two months. Then, there will be messy things like old workhorses being dissatisfied with their work, sycophants taking advantage of others, unhappiness between departments, etc.

But by this time, mobile phones had been invented.

Therefore, Li Yan did not analyze or think about any "management wisdom". After the advent of mobile phones, the world was bound to change. Whether it would become sunny or cloudy was another matter.

He made this arrangement to save himself trouble so that he doesn't have to worry about the management system.

Then you can focus on the difficult points, and you are very free at other times.

It was pretty cool for him.

The whole month of March was a month of harvest, with all tasks progressing steadily. Although many difficult problems were encountered, Li Yan's blasting work still progressed smoothly.

As a result, Li Yan conquered the Future Technology employee group, which is mainly composed of high-tech personnel, with his technical strength.

For example, banks are concerned about system security.

The payment platform is not technically difficult - Li Yan doesn't even need to take action. When the bank and Future Technology cooperated to develop the client, "PayPass" was already ready to go.

But before that, when the bank just started working with the Future Technology R&D Department to develop the client, it tried to secretly find a team to attack the Hetu system.

The security testing team is very confident. Robert, who has a bunch of engineers maintaining and testing after open source, can easily find a bunch of bugs. It only took half a year of domestic self-development and a team of hundreds of people to do it... forget it.

The head of the testing team said to Mr. Huang, the vice president of Huaxia Bank:

"It's amazing that they can create a system with self-consistent logic and complete functions. System security is definitely templated and routine. It's fine if others don't attack it, but if professionals like us come in, they will collapse immediately."

Old Huang nodded seriously, and thought carefully about the future of science and technology. "After all, senior official Zhang has expressed his support, so we should not be too harsh."

"I understand. After all, we are not a hacker team. The purpose of security testing is to find loopholes and fill gaps." The person in charge also laughed and said, "It is still worthy of recognition that Li Yan can develop a domestic system. It is normal to have some shortcomings."

"This statement is just too harsh," Lao Huang groaned, "point it at him."

"I understand. If I were this young and could develop a self-developed system, I would be even more arrogant than him."

"Young people are always frivolous." said Lao Huang.

Then they both burst into laughter.

As a result, I couldn't laugh anymore as I was attacking.

The results of the safety test are very safe.

At one point, Lao Huang couldn't help but ask if he felt it was difficult to explain why he found the loophole, and he was also thinking about giving this guy some psychological support.

As a result, I saw that this team issued a security test report for the Hetu system.

He was shocked, and then he heard Li Yan call him:
"I am grateful to President Huang for his concern for the Hetu system and his willingness to invest in a company to produce a test report for me."

This made him very embarrassed, and he could only praise Li Yan's system for being as stable as a rock. He expressed high expectations for future cooperation.

Having said that, the subsequent work will naturally go smoothly.

Lao Huang angrily found the security testing team and questioned them for turning the tables.

As a result, they complained that they were caught while attacking the Hetu system, and they had no choice but to issue a test report to make the situation look better.

Lao Huang said it was not good at all, it was a complete book of defeat.

Li Yan did this job in a very casual manner, and even the staff of Future Technology were unaware of it for a while.

The news spread only after the test report was received, giving many new employees a little shock.

Another example is "pipeline optimization magic".

In mid-March, Huang Zhan took the initiative to contact Li Yan to discuss the process of mobile phone production.

The main reason is that he has created w8 after all, so his experience must be richer than Li Yan who is in a blank state.

On the one hand, it is for the better future of the project that our two are working on, and on the other hand... It's rare that I'm better than you, and I'd feel uncomfortable if I don't show off.

The result was hard for him to accept.

First of all, there were many hardware aspects of Li Yan's phone that puzzled him: the screen was much larger, there was no button at the bottom, the lens was protruding, the body was relatively thin, and there were many amazing details.

This resulted in his experience not being very feasible. Zhou Yang's team had already solved the basic content. Huang Zhan was originally planning to talk to Li Yan about some of the pitfalls he had encountered, but he found out that either Li Yan didn't take this path at all, or... they were pits that Huang Zhan himself had never encountered.

Huang Zhan thought that Li Yan would either go for the extremely civilian route or the extremely high-end route, but he didn't expect that his hardware configuration was actually quite standard, but he had some powerful features in some somewhat inexplicable places.

In his opinion, Li Yan's approach will lead to inflated prices, and customers will only care about configuration and performance, and the appearance details will be fine.

Unexpectedly, Li Yan’s reply was “Once you learn the craft, you can reduce costs.”

The second is the optimization of the pipeline.

Huang Zhan was still worried that Li Yan's requirements were different from his. Making the mold was easy, but adjusting the assembly line later was a hassle.

Then I saw Li Yan demonstrating the complete Jiaolong mobile phone production line he designed.

...designed directly?
Don’t just say Huang Zhan was confused. Who in the future technology hardware-related departments isn’t confused?
The assembly line is not a connecting game. No matter how strong Li Yan is, he has to abide by the basic law, right?

The two most incomprehensible aspects of Li Yan's system are not the level of skills - for example, the powerful computer skills he currently possesses can be understood by everyone as "a genius once in a lifetime" - but the "learning speed" and "versatility".

A person can be outstanding in one aspect, but to be outstanding in all aspects is beyond cognition.

People can be very talented in learning and can quickly master certain knowledge and skills, but it is really too much to turn the time span of others' accumulation of decades into a span of "months" or even "days".

Now this independently designed assembly line directly stimulates the nerves of both new and old employees from the above two aspects.

For a while, the phrases "Mr. Li is also good at machinery" and "Mr. Li actually built an assembly line in just one month" were widely circulated in Future Technology.

In the end, it became "Mr. Li is very capable."

... Li Yan declined to comment on this. However, if there is too much praise, naturally some people will think too much. The assembly line is not something that can be assembled by buying a ready-made one. Regardless of how practical Li Yan's design is, it is not long before the release date he promised.

We can't build an assembly line from scratch, right?

Li Yan asked why not?
He referred to the template products of various automation machinery companies and selected combinations from them. In the end, not much customization and modification was required.

Moreover, he did not plan to rely on his own assembly line for the entire process, but to "assemble" it in Huang Zhan's factory.

He simply divided the mobile phone production process into three parts: he started it himself, sent it to Huang Zhan for supplementary information, and then came back to Future Technology to finish it.

It was just connected abruptly.

Huang Zhan didn't dare to imagine how many complicated things there were to consider.

The mechanical employees in Zhou Yang's team were very curious about how Li Yan could purchase templated assembly line modules and automate detailed processes at the same time. These two things sounded very contradictory.

Li Yan said that he could just buy it and write the program himself.

Huang Zhan looked at this group of stunned young people, and suddenly a very strange feeling surged in his heart...

When he saw others were so shocked by Li Yan, he actually felt a sense of satisfaction that "that's right".

In comparison, completing the development of the WeiDe map client and successfully implementing gesture operations are not considered great achievements.

Under the glare of Li Yan's horrific practical ability, even the brilliance of his amazing ideas seemed less dazzling.

This is normal. The strength of ability can be seen at the moment, but the prominence and advancement of ideas often require the support of the times.

As Li Yan's miraculous deeds gradually spread within the company, his prestige continued to rise.

More and more people are convinced by him - the more capable they are, the more convinced they are. The most rebellious people in the company are currently the middle-aged people who serve as middle-level managers.

I can't compare with others in terms of physical skills, and I only think about using my experience to overwhelm others.

Unfortunately, Li Yan didn't buy it at all. Their superiors only followed Li Yan's lead, and their subordinates were convinced by Li Yan, so they could only work obediently.

Li Yan also discussed with Wang Zi and Wen Xin, and thought that he was still too conservative, which was why he needed to recruit such a group of so-called old hands with management experience. In fact, their contribution value was very low so far.

But Wang Zi advised: "Management work is always invisible, and some work is outside of eight hours, outside the company."

It can be considered that Li Yan was persuaded.

With such strong prestige, Li Yan became more and more decisive in meetings.

Especially conferences related to hardware development.

Zhou Yang was fine. Ever since he witnessed how tough Li Yan was in working on the assembly line, he gradually lowered his posture. Most of the time, he chose to implement Li Yan's requests first and then ask questions.

But Li Guangde is different, he is a designer.

Design, because of the existence of subjective aesthetics, is also a kind of "there is no best in art".

Every time Li Yan held a hardware development meeting, he would make drastic changes and resolutely deny everything.

The most common phrases are: "There's no need to bring this idea up again, just cut it off."

“I reject this design.”

"There's no need to add this piece, just cut it off."

"I said don't bring up the things you vetoed after adjusting them. Cut them off."

The design department privately gave him the title "The Angry God".

This way of holding meetings made Li Guangde feel that he was not respected enough. He always thought that some of Li Yan's ideas were not beautiful enough.

Li Yan was unhappy that he never completed a version in depth according to her requirements and always had divergent thoughts.

Fortunately, Zhou Yang's status was high enough, so his mediation was quite effective.

Li Guangde thought Li Yan was too willful and authoritarian. "If he only needs me to realize what he has in his mind, he can just do it himself."

As a result, Zhou Yang's two words at the dinner calmed him down:

"Old Li, think about it. Li Yan can even talk about assembly lines. Do you think he really can't do design? Many people in my department feel that they are dispensable and have self-doubt. But you are needed."

"According to you, Li Yan wants me to do my best to make a good enough design within the design scope he has set?"

Li Guangde is still very good at finding a way out for himself.

"Of course, how about I go and ask for you?"

"Forget it, forget it. After all, this is a project he led, so let's just do it."

After Zhou Yang clinked glasses with Li Guangde that day, he suddenly said leisurely: "When a star falls from the sky, don't cherish it."

Of course, the above are just a small part of the outrageous legends about Li Yan that are circulated in Future Technology.

Where he is truly outrageous is “outside the company”.

Logically speaking, with so many things to do and the future technology being in a very intense stage, Li Yan should be spending all day in the company. In everyone's imagination, he should be concentrating on dealing with work matters every day, and he can stay up all night while he is still young.

Then, when the research and development was completed, Boss Li Yan, who was visibly getting weaker and weaker, finally fainted with a relieved smile amid everyone's concerned shouts of "What's wrong, Boss?"

When he woke up again, he was in the hospital. A bunch of friends and family complained to him, "Why do you work so hard?" But Li Yan looked at the smiling faces on his phone and fell asleep with a smile...

Probably so.

However, in reality, Li Yan always disappears suddenly, and most of the time he is only seen at work meetings twice a week.

Think about it, at this fucking time, there are only two work meetings a week.

But just in these two meetings - and they were not long meetings - Li Yan was able to arrange the work neatly.

It gives people a strong sense of ease.

And this month, he actually attended more than ten classes.

Mainly, she participated in chemistry and biology experiment classes. The content was not very new but very basic for Li Yan.

However, experimentation is a great way to explore the truth of the world, and Li Yan does not allow himself to ignore this aspect on the road to improving his skills.

Unfortunately, perhaps because the experiment was too hands-on and basic, Li Yan didn’t gain much except for a two-point improvement in biology.

However, during the complaints of Physics teacher Gao, a number theory professor from Linyi University showed great interest in Li Yan and decided to give him special lessons.

Li Yan welcomed this and in the first class, she gave Professor Xie a small gift based on her excellent logic and mathematics skills.

Unlike other teachers, although Professor Xie is not young, he maintains a pure love for mathematics. He really wants to see how far Li Yan can learn, and expects Li Yan to become a mathematical genius and in turn take him to explore some worlds that he can no longer break through.

If the above are all understandable and acceptable, then the news from a certain department on April 4 that "we ate the meal made by Mr. Li" can only be regarded as an April Fool's joke.

Because they actually said that they had eaten Li Yan’s cooking at “Qinghualou”.
