Chapter 414: The Horn of Public Opinion War
"Where's the news?" Li Yan asked hurriedly.

"In the Beijing circle."

"Impossible. We were using Robert before. How can we complete our own system now?"

"At least that's what Shangjing said. They plan to hold a press conference on the first day after the holiday."

Press conference? …

"Open to the media?"

"Yes."

"Who is the source of the news?"

"Dong Zhenchang." Huang Zhan sighed, "Shangjing mentioned this matter when he put pressure on him. I also confirmed it with friends in Shangjing's mobile phone circle, and it is true."

"..."

"Li Yan, what do you think?"

"I still say the same thing, it's impossible."

Huang Zhan sighed imperceptibly, "Li Yan, you can complete a system in a short time with insufficient manpower, why can't they do it?"

"I am me, and they are them."

"According to my good friend, this system is not only the result of Lianxiang's work, but also the hard work of the mobile phone industry in Shangjing."

"Unite and fight against me?" Li Yan rarely showed a sinister look.

"It's unclear whether this is the motive, but you'd better... be prepared to deal with it."

Huang Zhan was silent for a long time after he finished speaking, and when he found that Li Yan did not respond, he hung up the phone.

Li Yan slowly put the phone back on the table and sat on the chair for a long time without any response.

"Yan?"

Wei Yunzhi called out softly.

"It's okay." Li Yan stood up and smiled at her, "Let's cook."

"Yan, it's not necessary. You...can tell me that eating is not important."

"It's okay." Li Yan's smile disappeared very quickly. When he turned and walked towards the kitchen, Wei Yunzhi clearly saw his expression become gloomy.

“Food cooked without happiness won’t taste good.”

"Then let's not do it." Li Yan took off her apron, walked quickly to the room and lay down.

The beautiful girl didn't say anything, but just followed me to the bed silently, hesitated for a while, and then sat down.

"Yan, take a break if you're tired."

"I feel depressed."

"Which idiot messed with you?"

I think Wei Yunzhi probably seldom says such vulgar words, and instead of feeling oppressive when reading them out loud, they seem cute.

"Lianxiang Company in Beijing said they have developed a self-developed system."

"Impossible." The beautiful girl said firmly.

Li Yan chuckled, "What do you mean?"

"If it was so easy, why would they have valued your results so much in the first place? Academician Ni came from Lianxiang. When he was leading the project, Lianxiang couldn't even make it. How can you make it now?"

"You do understand."

"I..." Wei Yunzhi was inexplicably stuck, "I just happened to read this story."

"In terms of difficulty, it's not that difficult. I developed the kernel myself, and I overcame some difficulties for some special functions of the system. If you just want a 'usable' one, it's not that difficult to gather all the strength of Beijing. But this kind of thing is hard work but not necessarily thankless, so no one was willing to do it before."

"Academician Ni left because Lianxiang was too focused on immediate benefits. How come they have come to their senses now?"

Li Yan was silent for a while and closed his eyes. "It's not that I've become enlightened. I just feel the pressure of 'having to do it'."

"What pressure?"

"The pressure from Shangjing." Li Yan sighed. "Everyone can see now that if I let Jiaolong mobile phone develop, with the added bonus of 'self-developed system', as long as I can make a finished product, it is completely foreseeable that it will sell well."

"of course."

"The first bite of the pie gets the biggest bite. Currently, the largest R&D and production base for Chinese smartphones is in Beijing. They won't allow me to be the only one."

The little beauty was silent.

Li Yan closed her eyes and continued, "If they really develop a self-developed system, then my uniqueness will be eliminated, and my identity as a minor, which was originally a positive influence, may in turn become a negative influence.

"I am the only one who has developed a self-developed system. This is a miracle of genius, and everyone buys into it. Others can also do it, which means that the self-developed system is not something too amazing. Moreover, the system made by a more mature large company like Lianxiang, which has experience in smartphone development and foreign technical support, is definitely more stable and reliable than mine.

"I'm afraid there will be a dramatic change in public opinion."

"So what if it has changed?" Wei Yunzhi said.

Li Yan just smiled and said, "I still have a lot of software development work to do. If the special features mentioned above are eliminated, others will lose the reason to trust me."

"Why such a blow?"

"Benefits." Li Yan was silent for a long while. "The basic principle of how the world works."

After saying that, he was about to put his flat hands behind his head, but when he raised them, he hit something.

Li Yan had just opened his eyes when Wei Yunzhi's fingers were already pressing on his eyebrows.

"Don't frown."

At this time, the beautiful girl was supporting herself on the bed with her hands, her legs kneeling on both sides of Li Yan's hips, looking at Li Yan who was right below her.

Not good... a very bad posture.

Li Yan was not lying completely on the bed, her calves were hanging outside the bed, just enough to reach the ground.

Wei Yunzhi tied her hair into a high ponytail, but the hanging hair was only two or three centimeters away from Li Yan's face.

Under normal circumstances, Li Yan would probably just be sweating and looking uncomfortable, and then the beautiful girl would react and stand up. He also sat up awkwardly and said something like "Do you know what you are doing?" and then they both blushed.

But today was different. He was in a really bad mood, a very bad one.

So my mind became confused and I didn't have any clear reaction.

"I've never seen you like this." Wei Yunzhi said.

Li Yan smiled again, "Normally he is so proud and ambitious, but now it seems that he is just an ordinary person who becomes depressed, helpless and furious when being targeted, right?"

"No." Wei Yunzhi actually moved her head closer to Li Yan. In order to avoid her hair touching him, she leaned forward and used one free hand to smooth her hair behind her head.

But at this moment, the distance between the two became closer.

"You are more like a person now, a real person." Wei Yunzhi whispered, "And the anger and gloom just now... are very good."

There is a feeling of suffocation and restraint of drowning in water, very...

I dare not say this out loud.

Li Yan was really awakened by what he heard this time, but the beautiful girl was almost lying on him, and her warm and fragrant breath was blowing on his neck, so he couldn't move.

"Yunzhi," Li Yan said, "How about getting up first?"

"Lift it up? Lift...what?"

Li Yan couldn't help laughing, "Get up and cook!"

Wei Yunzhi maintained his posture unchanged, "Tell me first, how are you going to deal with Shangjing's behavior?" Li Yan avoided his gaze helplessly, but happened to see the mirror placed opposite. It didn't matter if he glanced at him, he really felt a little sad.

What if we were both eighteen years old and tried it?
Let me show you what the explosion of repression is like.

"If they are brave enough to target us, then they had better produce some decent results. If they do, then we will confront them head-on. If not, I will confront them even more head-on."

"Okay!" Wei Yunzhi turned over and got out of bed, then looked straight at Li Yan.

"Look," Li Yan immediately stood up and turned her back to adjust her clothes, "You still want to see me full of confidence."

"That's not the case," Wei Yunzhi said in a low voice, "It's just that you don't like yourself just now. If I say so, how would you behave..."

Li Yan didn't hear what was said at the end, so she turned around. The girl was just standing in the room, which was a little dark because of the curtains. Her hair was draped over one shoulder, and her eyes were full of...

Incredible affection.

While Li Yan was busy cooking, Wei Yunzhi, who wanted to help but couldn't, stood aside, thinking only one thing:

What's the difference between lip-syncing and speaking your mind when you are sure he won't look back?

Some things, the more they are restrained, the more violent they become.

Li Yan hasn't spent much time on cooking recently, so his cooking skills haven't improved much, but with the system's 51-point level, it's not difficult for him to make food that tastes better than most restaurants - as long as he knows how to make the dish.

But it was obvious that Wei Yunzhi’s whole heart was not on the food. Every time Li Yan looked up during the meal, he would meet the girl’s eyes.

Do you want to eat or eat me?

Out of some special tacit understanding, after the meal, the two agreed to go out for a walk. They walked around the science and technology park, chatted for a while, and then parted ways.

An inexplicable heat was also sufficiently cooled down by the cold wind.

In addition, after returning to the office, Li Yan spent forty minutes to be alone with herself.

He felt that his state had been elevated and he could concentrate more on thinking about how to respond to the release of Lianxiang's "Aurora" system.

As for the beautiful girl, she was still opening Li Yan's QQ dialog box repeatedly until the early morning, writing and deleting, writing and deleting again.

February 2th is the first day of work after the Spring Festival.

There was big news in the technology circle.

Lianxiang Company jointly launched the "Aurora" system with several heavyweight companies in Beijing's technology circle.

And it's live broadcast.

Li Yan and hundreds of Future Technology employees who had just returned to work watched the press conference at their respective workstations.

Some young people who have not yet realized how serious the situation is are in high spirits, shouting slogans such as "Decisive Battle at the Top of the Forbidden City" and appearing to be full of fighting spirit.

Most of the management and old employees looked embarrassed.

Sun Miao should be the one with the ugliest expression here. He knew how much of a blow it would be to future technology if others developed their own systems. After much thought, he knocked on the door of Li Yan's office.

"Enter."

"Mr. Li..." As soon as he entered the room, Sun Miao was stunned by Li Yan's gloomy face, "Did you...watch today's press conference?"

"I have seen it." Li Yan raised her head. Although she was looking at Sun Miao, her eyes seemed to pass through him and went to an unknown place.

"What do you think?"

"I want to ask you what you think first."

Sun Miao’s concerns are actually basically the same as Li Yan’s, which is that he is worried about changes in the public opinion field.

This is very important for future technology, but he actually doesn't feel as much pressure as Li Yan, because he still believes that future technology has the advantage of completing the mobile phone body first.

Software development is not a necessity, which is the consensus of their management, so they all believe that the company's strategy can be adjusted when pressure comes.

He told Li Yan his thoughts, and then watched Li Yan's brows become more and more furrowed.

"Engineer Sun," Li Yan said, "I have the same concerns you mentioned, but I want to make one thing clear: the more external pressure there is, the faster we need to develop software."

Sun Miao hesitated to speak. He knew that Li Yan would not consider his idea, so he nodded.

"What do you think of their Aurora system?" Li Yan asked.

Seeing Sun Miao's embarrassed expression and a hint of careful consideration of his words, Li Yan immediately continued, "From your perspective as a practitioner, you don't have to worry too much."

"It's pretty good." Sun Miao said, "From their demonstration, it looks like they have all the functions a smartphone should have. To be honest, I think it's much better than Mr. Huang's previous Windows 8 mobile version in terms of usage logic."

Li Yan did not comment and motioned for him to continue.

"Of course, they also took some shortcuts. The core they used was the L core, which saved a lot of effort."

So what is the point of us working so hard to develop our own kernel?
Sun Miao swallowed the second half of the sentence back.

"Oh, it's more than just taking shortcuts." Li Yan suddenly sneered, "This system is just a remake of Robert's. It's not even Robert's latest version. They just took the previous version full of loopholes, modified it, and served it up. It's like eating shit while it's still hot."

Sun Miao was shocked and didn't know how to respond.

"Fortunately, they still have some bottom line. They didn't say anything to deny their relationship with Robert. They are just fooling around by treating open source as self-developed. I wonder how they can come up with a new system so quietly. They really don't care about their reputation in order to deal with me."

"Boss Li, do you mean that we should engage in a war of public opinion?"

"The best way to deal with lies is to expose them directly." Li Yan said, "Since they have given us evidence, why not arrest them?"

"But Mr. Li, I don't quite understand why you are so sure that they are a cover for the Robert system?"

Li Yan threw her notes to Sun Miao. "It records the various functions they demonstrated at the press conference. From their classification logic, we can see that there is no adjustment at all compared to the previous version of Robert. Robert has a strange folder, which has been deleted in this version, but it was still there when they demonstrated file management. Isn't this enough to explain it?"

Sun Miao's eyes widened.

"Let Liu Liwei come to me."

Sun Miao left with mixed feelings. He inexplicably felt that he did not gain the confidence from Li Yan this time to crush all obstacles.

As soon as Liu Liwei entered Li Yan's office, he was already sweating all over.

Before Li Yan could speak, he bowed and said, "Boss Li, it's my fault for not being able to provide any information!"

"It's Chinese New Year, who would have thought of that?" Li Yan waved her hand. "What's past is past. This incident also proves the importance of intelligence. You just need to pay attention to it and do a good job of the follow-up work."

"Roger that!"

"The most urgent thing is to collect information about the Aurora system. If we want to fight a propaganda war with them, Robert the Skin is a key entry point. At the same time, pay attention to information collection and report to me in a timely manner on the direction of public opinion from all parties."

"Ok."

Li Yan hesitated for a moment, but added: "Also manage the relationship with the media. If you need me to come forward, please let me know at any time. The public opinion war still depends on them."

"no problem!"

"Don't be too nervous. They are desperate. They are pretending to be Robert and trying to compete with our real self-developed products. It's like plastic covered with gold foil being refined by fire against real gold. They are guilty, so we will hit them where they are weak!"

Liu Liwei nodded vigorously, received the task and went to discuss it with department members.

Li Yan heaved a long sigh of relief. Although he was very angry when he saw that they were using a skin system today, he felt much more relaxed.

At least his judgment was correct. It is not easy to develop a self-developed system.

My basic foundation is still there.

But he didn't expect that the first to launch a public opinion attack came from Shangjing.

When I woke up, I was flooded with news. Without exception, they were all comparing Lianxiang's Aurora System with Future Technology's Hetu System. They all caught the same point:

"Aurora has already held a press conference, what about Hetu?"
