Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 411 People are really complicated
I don’t know what this adolescent boy Chen Fan is thinking…

Call me later.

"As for other departments," Li Yan glanced at them, "I don't expect you to make any progress before the end of the year, but 'thinking' is necessary. This week, you will sort out your needs and write a work plan for your department based on the situation of the team members. Give it to me before the end of the year. On January 1st, we will hold an internal meeting directly."

Although everyone agreed, their enthusiasm did not seem very good.

"If you feel that your team is lacking in strength, you can make requests to me based on the plan, and I will adjust the division of labor based on the plan."

Damn it?

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. Wasn't this just turning into a fight?

Cao Haibin would not miss the opportunity to stir up trouble. He pointed at Sun Miao and said, "Boss Sun, I fell in love with those two eloquent beauties in your department at first sight."

"What's the point of you taking a fancy to it? Why don't you write a decent plan?" Sun Miao rolled his eyes.

"Then I'm happy. The hardware sector is relatively independent and there's no competition or giving in." Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"What a good guy who doesn't fight, doesn't grab, and doesn't give in," Cao Haibin laughed. "Boss Zhou, we are both responsible for the first product department. If you don't want it, I do."

A group of people started discussing lively, and Li Yan couldn't hide his smile. He found it interesting when thinking about the meeting later.

Finally, he no longer has to handle everything by himself, and he can finally feel like a real boss.

However, he still needs to learn from Zhou Yang first. Although the skill of "computer" covers a wide range, including hardware, smartphone hardware is a completely new field, and specialized content still needs to be learned specifically.

He had not done any in-depth research on computer hardware before, so maybe he could improve the hardware values ​​this time.

Li Yan never liked long meetings, so after he finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave. When he reached the door, he found Wang Zi following him, so he stopped.

"what happened?"

"Mr. Li, Mr. Huang called to ask if you are free to get together tonight."

“Is there a theme?”

"Mr. Huang didn't say it, but he emphasized that it was just you and him."

"Let's talk about it later." Li Yan said and went back to her office.

Huang Zhan didn't even use his personal cell phone to contact him. It seemed that he might say something that Li Yan would not be happy to hear, so he asked Wang Zi to act as an intermediary, giving Li Yan the option to refuse without any cost.

"You came to ask after six o'clock. I'm afraid there is something unexpected." Li Yan pondered for a while, "Huang Zhan is really something. Why do you think so much? Why not just call me and tell me clearly?"

However, he didn't like the feeling of being interrupted when doing something, so he decided to complete the temporarily suspended "Ask Chen Fan" event first.

"Hello? Chen Fan, where are you now?"

"God Yan! It's rare that you call me," Chen Fan's voice sounded a bit excited, and there was a whirring sound on the phone, "I'm taking a walk outside with my dad."

"Wow, no wonder you didn't attend the meeting." Li Yan said with a smile.

"...Shen Yan, I'd better not get involved in the company's affairs."

"What are you thinking about?" Li Yan's expression also became serious.

"Well, it's nothing. I just feel that... I'm a high school student, and I really can't help you with anything. I'm embarrassed to make money with the shares. I have to go to class on weekdays, and I can't really help you with the mobile phone..."

Chen Fan fell silent as he spoke.

Li Yan was also silent.

The two of them held their phones like this for several seconds.

Chen Fan's father's voice came from the other end of the phone, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Li Yan called me." Chen Fan sighed again, "God Yan, you see, the position you gave me is the assistant to the general manager, which is also your assistant... Obviously, you also know that I can't really help you."

"Are you dissatisfied with this?" Li Yan said, "My requirements for my assistant are not low at all."

"Hey, Yan Shen! Don't play dumb. You know how upset I am. You know why we are all upset."

Li Yan also sighed for the first time, and his emotions became less calm. "I just don't understand. I am grateful to you for working with me on mobile phones in the beginning. I think we are all good brothers. I gave you a chance to make a fortune and a platform and status that others can only ask for. Why are you so upset?"

"I know you're doing this for our own good, Yan Shen." Chen Fan was silent for a long while before continuing, "But we may not necessarily want to accept what you want to give."

Li Yan's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was a little dazed for a moment.

"why?"

"Just like this super high compression algorithm, Zixiang and his team really worked very hard. Sometimes when I read their chats in the group, I always feel that they have made great progress and may be able to help you. As a result... you solved the problem that they couldn't solve in a month with just one move."

"Hit?"

"It's not a blow, Yan Shen, please don't interpret it as a blow." Chen Fan actually laughed twice, "If it's a blow, I would have been beaten to a pulp by you a long time ago. We don't dare to compete with you a long time ago, but at least we are still a little proud of our own 'value'."

Pride... Li Yan hesitated to speak.

"Take me for example," Chen Fan said in a much more relaxed tone, "Now in the future technology, I can't play any value, and I have to be worshipped by a group of people who are actually worthy of my learning. I don't like this experience."

Li Yan was confused. "If you want to learn, you can learn. You have a unique position in future science and technology. They will answer any questions you ask. As for the value you mentioned, you were willing to work with me to make the concept phone of Jiaolong Phone. It was a great help to me. How can it be worthless? Even if you just enjoy it, no one can say anything."

"Shen Yan," Chen Fan's voice became low again, "You also said, 'for you'. I also miss the days when we were tinkering with the concept machine together, but even then, it was still you who really accomplished it. Even now, the company, the core, and the system are actually all your own efforts. You can get huge value satisfaction from it, but we can't."

Li Yan was speechless.

"God Yan, you probably can't understand. Perhaps you have been moving forward too fast and can no longer put yourself in our shoes." Chen Fan sighed, "It's just like when I used to read online novels, when the protagonist encountered obstacles everywhere and was struggling to move forward, I was immersed in the novel and enjoyed it. But when the protagonist became rich and mastered magical skills, I got bored after reading for a while."

"No resonance?"

"How could that be possible? At my level, I can only imagine how happy it would be for you to win the first place in the Youth Xinao International Competition. At that time, I could even consider myself your friend and take you as my target. But now..."

Perhaps because he felt that he would not be happy to hear any more, Chen Fan stopped abruptly and said:
"You should think that He Zixiang and I are quite childish now. The world you see is completely different from the world we see, Yan Shen."

"We are friends."

"I'm telling you this because we're friends."

"At least take the shares first." Li Yan didn't know what to say. "Although it's just a verbal promise now, after all, you are not yet adults, but I will definitely give it to you."

"It's okay. Maybe after a while I'll wake up and beg you to give me more." Chen Fan said with a smile, "But now, I still have to work hard for the 'value' I pursue. Although I may walk a path that you have long ignored, I must walk it."

Li Yan was silent for several seconds again, and Chen Fan then said, "Take good care of yourself even if you work hard," and hung up the phone.

Li Yan slowly put down the phone with no expression on her face.

He just stared at the bright black Chuangzu W8 in front of him, and suddenly called Huang Zhan's cell phone, "Mr. Huang? Where are we having dinner tonight?"

This private restaurant next to a villa area in Rongxi District is not open to the public at all, so much so that Li Yan initially thought she had gone to the wrong place.

Only one waiter led Li Yan upstairs, through the corridor and came to the box where Huang Zhan was. The door of the box was heavy, and there was a plastic baffle and two layers of curtains inside.

"Mr. Huang is so interested in finding such a secret base."

"This place is really a secret base. The owner is my cousin, a chef. He has nothing to do now that he is retired, so I gave him this place to entertain some special guests."

"Am I a special guest too?"

Huang Zhan looked thinner than before. "If you are not special, then who is special?"

The private room is actually very small and the environment is average. Eating is definitely not the main purpose of coming here.

"Li Yan, my cousin is really good at cooking dog meat. It's winter, how about some nourishment?"

"No need, just some home-cooked dishes will do." Li Yan took off his windbreaker and hung it on the back of the chair, then drank a sip of hot tea. "Mr. Huang asked me to come here because it's not convenient for us to meet at the company right now?"

If you want to keep secrets, there is no better place than within the company.

"Yes, there has been controversy within the Chuang Clan regarding the cooperation between you and me. It would be better to reduce some unofficial meetings for the time being."

"Hard."

"I asked you out today because I really want to say something...something you might not like to hear."

"guessed."

Huang Zhan was not surprised. "I actually don't like being a senior, especially in front of juniors who are more capable than me."

"It's good to share the experience of seniors. Mr. Huang's internal friction is a bit serious today."

"You've taught me a lesson." Huang Zhan smiled and poured himself a glass of white wine. "You are underage, so I won't be disrespectful."

"Why are you doing this to me?" Li Yan also laughed.

"Li Yan, do you think your journey has been smooth?" Huang Zhan asked, finishing his drink.

It went smoothly, of course it did. Didn’t Chen Fan say that we were moving too fast along the way?

How can it not be fast with a cheat? Li Yan still complains that it is too slow.

“It may have been a little bumpy for me, but overall it’s been pretty smooth.”

“You have received a lot of support from all sides.”

"That's right." Li Yan had to admit this.

He alone would not be able to accomplish what he has done today.

"But Li Yan, this world operates based on 'interests'."

Li Yan originally wanted to say that he knew, but his cousin Huang Zhan happened to come into the room carrying dishes and greeted him enthusiastically, so he simply waited for Huang Zhan to finish speaking.

"Whether it's the government, Academician Ni, Wei Yili, or any company that's ready to work with you, including me, we're all doing it for our own benefit."

Li Yan nodded.

"You provide a possibility. Even if people don't make a profit by investing in this possibility, they can still gain a good reputation. This is an important reason why you get a huge boost when you start."

Li Yan stopped nodding and started drinking tea instead.

"If your Jiaolong phone, your future technology, affects the interests of others, there will definitely be opposition."

Li Yan smiled and said, "I've experienced this. When Hetu System didn't hold a press conference, I saw how many 'friendly competitors' launched a cyber attack. To be honest with Mr. Huang, they even resorted to such despicable tactics as the honey trap, but they were scared away by my underage status."

Huang Zhan didn't laugh, "These have always existed, but they're nothing special."

Li Yan frowned, put down the teacup, and his expression became very serious.

"We all know that this is a blue ocean, so Linjiang also supports you and provides you with enough resources to keep you here." Huang Zhan drank another glass of wine, "Others also know it."

"Mr. Huang means..."

"Dong Zhenchang has been under a lot of pressure recently."

Li Yan is still discussing cooperation with the CEO of Wei De Map. Where does the pressure come from?

"Why, can anyone force him not to cooperate with me?"

"If not, why do you think he spent so much time talking to you about a way to work together?"

Li Yan's eyes widened instantly, but she quickly suppressed her surprise.

"Whether he cooperates or not is a business decision," Li Yan said. "If the conditions I offer are not as good as those offered by other companies, then Mr. Dong can choose not to cooperate. This is his freedom."

"There is a technology circle in Shangjing. It used to be the leader in the mobile phone industry. You should know that?"

"I know. We visited there before, and the experience wasn't very good. What else can they do?"

"Yes, I can. When I started w8, I also had some external pressure. But the environment was different," Huang Zhan said. "At that time, I was a typical example of a thankless job. No one knew the future of w8, so the pressure was relatively small. After it became successful, it was too late to put pressure on me. I didn't expect to be sanctioned by Pineapple."

"Boss Huang, are those companies in Beijing so evil? You still need to be so careful. None of them can catch up with you now."

"They don't like you being the only one standing out."

Li Yan smiled. "If they don't want to, then they don't want to. Why should I be afraid of them? What? Are they forcing Dong Zhenchang not to cooperate with me? Or are they offering some outrageous conditions?"

Huang Zhan took a deep breath and said, "When I say 'they', I don't mean companies in the technology industry."

Li Yan stopped the chopsticks raised in the air and his brows quickly frowned.

“No wonder they have the ability to put pressure on Dong Zong.”

"Now you are holding President Dong hostage with the issue of terrain information security. If President Dong still wants to cooperate with you, you may need to sign a contract with very harsh conditions."

Li Yan silently picked up a few dishes with chopsticks, ate half a bowl of rice, and suddenly put the chopsticks on the table with a "pop" and said with a smile:

"If you don't like to see me stand out, I will stand out anyway."

"It's more than that. This is just a signal." Huang Zhan's face was still full of worry. "Li Yan, the situation you will face in the future may be more difficult than you think, especially since you have to make the Super Life Circle software first, which affects too many people."

"Then come on," Li Yan picked up another piece of pork ribs with chopsticks, "Let me see what tricks they have."

"How are you going to fight?"

Li Yan's veins bulged on his hands, and he actually used chopsticks to pinch the bones until they burst.

"Destroy all laws with one force!"
