Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 272 The National Tournament is just around the corner
Seeing that Chen Fan was about to exclaim in amazement, Li Yan quickly waved her hands, "No, no, no, because this delivery environment is extremely simplified, so a lot of data is idealized. Even so, there are many problems in actual operation, such as the speed of merchants delivering meals, the delay of deliverymen in delivering meals to customers, etc. Of course, the essence of the problem is that our data is preview data, not real-time data."

“Can it be real-time?”

"Yes, everyone can have a smartphone."

"You mean GPS?"

"Yes. There is a company called Wei De. In 04, it obtained the Class A surveying and mapping qualification for navigation electronic maps issued by the National Bureau of Surveying and Mapping, and provides in-vehicle navigation electronic maps to various car brands. In 06, it acquired a basic map service provider and entered the Internet location service market. In the same year, it cooperated with China Mobile to provide map data to the location service platform."

Chen Fan frowned.

"In January 08, Wei De launched a free mobile map product, Mini Map. Although it is not very easy to use and is just a pure tool product... But in the era of smart phones, everything will change drastically."

"So," Chen Fan's brows relaxed, "You mean, when the time comes, you can merge your system with Li Kai's ordering system, and then use it in conjunction with the map made by Wei De..."

"Don't be too happy." Li Yan patted Chen Fan, "My current algorithm is actually very stupid. It's OK for this ideal campus delivery, but if it's really put into use, it may not be able to cope with the volume of a community."

"Do you want to listen to what you are saying..."

"Again, this algorithm is not only used for food delivery. I have laid some foundations now, and I still hope that you and Deng Yudi will work together to purify and optimize it as much as possible and come up with a real 'core algorithm'."

In fifteen days, Li Yan came up with such a thing with nothing, and even changed the record and wrote a novel to submit for an essay contest. Chen Fan thought about it for a moment and his breathing quickened.

"Li Kai has been telling me recently that a friend of his at Shanghai Jiao Tong University is also developing a food delivery platform, and the name is very similar to Ele.ba." Li Yan yawned again, "Their completion rate is quite high, but it is only within the school. The delivery and charging issues are also handled by the merchants themselves, and they only provide customers with a platform for online ordering."

“There’s a sense of urgency.”

"What's the urgency?" Li Yan smiled, "Takeout is only a small part."

Li Yan didn't continue talking, and Chen Fan didn't plan to ask.

If even Li Yan felt that the bold words he was saying now were inappropriate, Chen Fan asked himself if he was really not prepared to listen.

"Shit, I just realized it," Chen Fan suddenly clapped his hands and rolled his eyes, "So your 'every word is true' is because I didn't ask about the progress of Ele. Bar?"

"uh-huh."

"Cold and indifferent king." Chen Fan sat down and took out a notebook from his backpack. "To be honest, I really admire you for making this thing. Li Yan, have you made any progress in computers?"

Of course, it’s already 60% progress, and the third-level skill “Computer” is now 30 points!
So Li Yan was particularly confident when she said, “I have indeed made progress.”

"I even feel sorry that you are a junior high school student." Chen Fan sighed with the temperament of an elder, "If you were in high school, you would definitely be able to represent the national team in international competitions."

"No, it would be terrible if I only reached this level in high school."

"I assume that you are not pretending..."

Li Yan immediately followed up with the next sentence, "Who said that junior high school students can't participate in international competitions?"

"...I can't do that for now."

For Li Yan and Chen Fan, the training at Xinbei Middle School is just like changing the place of study during the summer vacation.

The two of them carried their notebooks and chatted and laughed while riding the bus. When they arrived at New Taipei Middle School, they were divided into groups and began various exercises.

Xinbei Middle School is very large, and the new campus is divided into Phase I and Phase II - but all three campuses, including the old campus, are in the same location.

So there are three sports fields. The first time Li Yan and his friends went back, they searched for a long time to find a laboratory building, and finally found that there were three laboratory buildings, namely the old campus laboratory building that had been converted into a library, the real laboratory building that was dedicated to physical, chemical and biological experiments, and the computer training location that had golden words "Information Building" on it but its official name was the laboratory building.

If Li Yan hadn’t invited the host Deng Yudi, I really don’t know how long it would take to find the right person.

Compared with Linjiang University which is among the top ten in China, it is certainly a little bit inferior, but compared with other universities in Linjiang Province, it is not at all inferior.

The training content is really just doing exercises and communicating. The teachers actually know that how could these young people who can make it to the national competition have "insufficient basic skills"?

For high-level operations, there is no need to teach those who know how to do it, and for those who don’t know how to do it, it is better to let them solve the problem according to their own ideas rather than teach them now.

Just give them a discussion environment to stimulate their brains and keep them in the rhythm and state of doing the questions.

So Chen Fan once thought that Li Yan would only go for two days and then not go anymore.

After all, this kind of thing is a pure waste of time for him.

I didn’t expect Li Yan to be so active.

Chen Fan originally thought that Li Yan was enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention - even though the people at the scene were mostly high school students, for this group of computer-savvy kids, Li Yan's achievement of winning the first prize in mystery literature was really too dazzling.

Even if they occasionally felt like "just a junior high school student", they would soon be dispelled by Li Yan's figure and Deng Yudi's humble attitude.

But later he discovered that Li Yan was not willing to brag, but instead often discussed the topics of "problem solving" and "application" with these gifted people.

After a week of training, the free discussion session basically consisted of Li Yan talking freely while operating the food delivery system in front of everyone.

Deng Yudi would occasionally take over the topic and even talk about mobile phone systems.

Chen Fan finally reacted. Was Li Yan doing some publicity to recruit talents?
During the last two or three days of training, everyone was basically left alone.

Occasionally, the teacher would become interested and want to hear what everyone was discussing so enthusiastically, and all he could hear were words like "order delivery", "positioning mechanism", "real-time feedback", and "smart mobile terminal".

He didn't think about it too much, but just remembered that there seemed to be no relevant content in the questions he provided, and he didn't know where these kids got the questions from.

Anyway, as long as we can maintain our excitement, the purpose of this training has been achieved.

However, seeing that everyone was ready to go to Beijing, Chen Fan still did not wait for Li Yan to form a team.

Especially on the bus to the airport, Chen Fan looked at Li Yan who was standing still beside him, and finally couldn't help but whispered:
"Li Yan, why don't you add anyone to our group?"

"We've been talking for more than a week, and what they came up with is... not enough. This group of people are good at solving problems, but they lack application skills." Li Yan also replied in a low voice, "There's no need to bring in people who can't help us."

This was a very Li Yan-like answer. Chen Fan asked again, "Then why did you keep asking us questions for so long?"

"I have to prove my ideas and results, which are currently quite advanced." Li Yan's expression was quite serious. "If it was something that any high school student could think of and replicate, how could I have the nerve to show it off as a treasure?"

He looked at Chen Fan seriously, "Fei Fan, to do something like this, you must have strong self-confidence."

Chen Fan expressed his understanding of this, but he just described the dozen or so national contestants who fought their way through the crowds of Linjiang Province as "just any high school student"...

This idea itself is a great confidence, right?
