Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 416 The aura must be meters

Li Yan's Weibo post surprised many people.

Those who thought he would respond quickly, most also thought he would hit back directly in his usual ruthless way. When they saw the word "congratulations" at first, they were stunned. After looking at it for a long time, they thought he was really going to compare sales in a fair and square manner.

I thought Li Yan would handle it in a more tactful way, but I didn't expect him to respond so quickly.

This resulted in most viewers, who had no knowledge of smartphones, being confused and unable to understand what Li Yan meant.

If you say he fought back, he seemed very gentle; if you say he admitted defeat, he just popped up to speak again.

So after this Weibo post appeared, the quarrels continued.

But to those who know the situation, it's a completely different story.

Li Yan was really confronting head-on and using an open strategy.

You said you developed it yourself, so it would be better if you really did it yourself.

On the one hand, he emphasized that he did indeed develop his own product, and on the other hand, he reiterated the purpose of his own research. In other words, if you don’t actually develop your own product, what can you compare with me?

The Jiaolong mobile phone has indeed made progress, and was even given the term "first half of the year", which has brought everyone's expectations back and at the same time put pressure on the Beijing technology circle.

Didn’t they succeed in developing their own system? Didn’t they succeed in making mobile phones?
Push it out and see how fast you can go and how good you are.

This sentence has no power now, but when either party officially releases the mobile phone, it will ignite the fuse.

Li Yan’s subsequent publicity response is basically in this direction.

It seems that they are having fun together based on national confidence and engaging in healthy competition with a high level of awareness.

In fact, it has forced the Beijing technology circle represented by Lianxiang into a difficult situation.

Now that Shangjing has put so many resources to put pressure on him, he might as well just ignore it and promote them instead.

Everything is based on the fact confirmed by Li Yan: Lianxiang does not have its own self-developed system.

Although a lot of information was locked in Beijing, it was naturally useless to Wu Lansheng and Wei Yili.

If they didn't even have the ability to distinguish true from false information, they would have been defrauded of all their money long ago.

It’s just that the way they got the news was not very glorious, so they couldn’t jump out and say anything - this is also the unspoken rule in the investment circle.

Throwing money is their language, and otherwise they remain silent to the public.

But they communicate with each other much more than you might think.

For example, two hours after Li Yan posted on Weibo, Wu Lansheng called Wei Yili.

"Old Wu, it's not like you to stay up so late."

"Didn't you wake up because of your son-in-law's Weibo post?"

"Don't be so funny." Wei Yili said in a serious tone.

"Oh, you don't even like Li Yan?"

"Lansheng, just tell me this, I'm going to die."

"Okay, okay, this is no joke." Wu Lansheng smiled, his voice sounding a little drunk. "This kid started a war with those people in Shangjing. He's really brave."

"He has been much more restrained than I thought. He seems to know that Shangjing is using a shell to pretend it is its own research. I thought he would point it out directly."

"No, Yi Li, is this a matter of whether Lian Xiang is hiding a shell or not?"

"At least it's the core. If Li Yan can grasp this, he can counterattack later."

"If you fight back, you will lose!" Wu Lansheng shouted, and the voice of Yingying Yanyan was faintly heard on the phone, "Go away, I'm talking to President Wei, don't touch me. Yi Li, the influence of public opinion is not only on the masses, haven't you heard that Dong Zhenchang has been blocked from cooperating?"

"Not only that, Linjiang has not taken the initiative to find a bank, let alone build a bridge, and now there is not even a steel cable."

"That's it, it's difficult."

"What's so difficult about it? It's not like he can't make a mobile phone. It won't be difficult to double your investment of several hundred million yuan."

"I'm afraid it's a loss."

Wei Yili laughed and said, "You always play it safe. I won't comment on that."

"Are you really not afraid? You invested billions! But if you can get one in return... Wrong, wrong, I won't say it."

"Old man, you've drunk too much and you're not sober." Wei Yili put his phone aside and continued to look at the financial report in his hand. The workload is always heavier after the New Year, and the CEO was working overtime in his study. "Two billion is a lot for Li Yan now, but for Yili Group, even if they lose all of it, they can afford to learn a lesson."

"Wow! Mr. Wei, you are really amazing. This money doesn't mean anything to you?"

"The group's operations are booming, and I can't even take the risk of this little money. I might as well just stay in a corner. Besides, Lansheng, is there any difference between 10 billion and 8 billion to you?"

"How come there is no difference? One fifth is not a difference?"

"The cashing out of the assets is enough to ensure the prosperity and wealth of several generations. Is that not enough?"

Wu Lansheng was much quieter, as if he had walked to a relatively private place. "Old Wei, are you serious or are you joking? Who would complain about having too much money when playing our game? You and I are both the ones driving the ship. The daily investment is there, and we can't just stop it today if we want to."

"Have you ever thought about what you are trying to achieve by making so much money, Lansheng?"

"Oh my god," Wu Lansheng's voice was sharp. "It's fine if Li Yan, that little brat, said something nonsense, but you, Boss Wei, shouldn't have said that. Why did you bother with him?"

Wei Yili didn't say anything more, just said calmly, "Just rest assured, this phone will definitely be made, and it will definitely make money. Even if I lose, I will lose four or five times as much as you do. Are you happy like this?"

"Go away, go away. You are a person who doesn't take 2 billion seriously. I can't compare with you. I am a vulgar person."

"Go play with your sisters."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Yili closed the folder and asked, "What would you do, Li Yan?"

While he was thinking, there was a knock on his door, and a beautiful woman with extraordinary temperament and graceful figure pushed the door open and walked in. She looked somewhat similar to Wei Yunzhi, and was even more delicate in comparison. It was Ouyang Wantang.

She handed the coffee to Wei Yili and sat down on the sofa next to her. "Yunzhi is going out tomorrow, did you know that?"

"She didn't tell me. It's winter vacation, so it's normal for her to get together with friends."

"She went out with Li Yan."

Wei Yili was stunned. At this critical moment, Li Yan still had the mind to... go out with his daughter?
"What are you going for?"

"Buying luxury goods." Ouyang Wantang smiled, "It seems that she is shy and dare not tell you this."

“Who are you buying it for?”

"To Li Yan."

"It seems that he is ready to discuss business in person." Wei Yili nodded.

"Do you really think of him as your future son-in-law?" Ouyang Wantang asked with a smile.

"This is our daughter's business. I don't know."

"She's already like that, and you don't know?"

Wei Yili sighed softly, "Everyone has their own destiny. It depends on whether they have this fate."

The next morning at Future Technology, everyone started discussing Li Yan’s Weibo crazily as soon as they met. Soon the saying “this is a war against the shell system” became the mainstream, and everyone showed great excitement.

But Liu Liwei, who had a lot of questions in mind, did not knock on Li Yan's office door. Wang Zi said:

"Mr. Li has gone to prepare for the follow-up discussions."

The preparation was to go to a Western-style building in Rongxi District with Wei Yunzhi to buy things.

This is the most famous high-end luxury center in Linjiang, and even in the entire southern region.

The Baroque-style building itself is a famous cultural relic protection site. In the early years, many famous luxury brands settled here. Later, it gradually developed into a business center mainly engaged in jewelry, watches, leather products, etc.

The first floor is filled with relatively modern shops, all of which are well-known luxury brands, but they are just appetizers here.

Upstairs is another world.

You need to make an appointment to go up, and the appointment requires capital verification. Li Yan went in with the appointment card, and Wei Yunzhi took out the VIP card.

"It seems I found the right person today."

"How do you know my dad likes to drag me to these stores?"

"I guessed. I don't know who to look for except you."

"Actually, I don't really understand. Usually he picks them out, and I go drink the juice."

“Is there any juice here?”

"Well, a glass of apple juice is over a hundred."

“…” There weren’t actually that many shops upstairs, and Li Yan had done her homework, so she didn’t get lost in the building—the shops in this ghost place only had a small door open that made it impossible to see anything clearly, and there were not many customers inside, so the atmosphere was quite eerie.

"Yan, why do you suddenly want to buy these things?"

"I thought you were going to ask me that last night."

"…So why?"

"If you want to do business with someone, you have to do the necessary superficial work."

"Like appearing wealthy?"

"There are two routes. One is very rich, which gives people a sense of overflowing confidence; the other is very casual, which gives people a sense of overflowing confidence."

"……what?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "Because I am still a minor anyway. For a boss who doesn't know much about the situation, 'looking noble' is the most convenient way to gain respect. So it is also important to dress up and make myself look worthy of the identity of the CEO of a large company."

The first stop is haute couture suits.

As soon as the two entered the store, the clerk followed them sleekly and took the coat that Li Yan had taken off.

After walking around twice, Li Yan carefully looked at the fabrics and finished products, but still shook his head and left.

"What's the matter?" Wei Yunzhi asked.

"Sure enough, it's not as good as the one I often go to. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's the best in Linjiang." Li Yan said and called the boss, "Hello, boss, customize seven suits according to my data. Try to use fabrics with different textures, covering summer and winter. You can match the tie and vest according to the situation, but you don't need a belt or shoes."

"Eh? Mr. Li, why don't you just come to the store and choose directly."

"I trust your taste."

"Thanks to Mr. Li's approval, I'll give you a discount price for seven suits..."

"No need for discounts. I have higher requirements. I want it to be both stable and willful, with youthful elements but not too flashy. It should be worn in solemn occasions without being too exaggerated. Find a good balance and I will give you double the original price."

The boss, who was about to complain, heard this and his mind turned into one word: "Okay!"

"Give me at least the first one within three days."

"it is good!"

After hanging up the phone, Wei Yunzhi showed a strange expression.

"You think my request is a bit colorful and black, right?" Li Yan smiled.

"Well...but you gave double."

“Only after becoming Party A did I realize that all Party A’s are the same.”

“But you gave double.”

Li Yan laughed so hard that for a moment he couldn't help but want to reach out and rub the little beauty's head.

The subsequent shopping experiences for belts, leather shoes, wallets, etc. were also very good, which made Li Yan feel a little disappointed.

I thought there would be some cliché plots like "dog eyes look down on people" and "failure to recognize Mount Tai"...

But the people here either know him or Wei Yunzhi.

None of the plot that Li Yan had imagined happened.

For example, "because Li Yan and the other person were too young, he ignored them", "because he knew Li Yan had to verify her capital before entering, he told Wei Yunzhi that outsiders were not allowed to enter", "because he knew Wei Yunzhi had a black card, he only cared about her and not Li Yan"...

At least there should be some reminder like “This thing is very expensive”, right?
Li Yan was still looking forward to buying the most expensive one with a wave of her hand. Then the salesperson's face changed drastically, and he slapped himself while crying and said, "I didn't recognize a great man!"

In my previous life, I seemed to have quite enjoyed watching this kind of thing, and I found it very enjoyable.

As a result, each store was greeted by a manager, who directly recommended the best products in the store without any doubt about Li Yan's financial resources.

Even if he ended up looking around and not buying anything, the store clerks would still greet him with a smile, enthusiastically send him to the door, and even try their best to give them small gifts.

Tsk, it turns out that cool novels are another world.

What is more interesting is the watch.

The watch shop is very large and is set up like a museum. Each watch has enough space and light for you to appreciate it carefully.

This is the most expensive thing Li Yan wants to buy today. It is more than one level more expensive than all the other things combined.

The store manager was very professional and enthusiastic. He addressed Li Yan as "Mr. Li" as soon as they met. He quickly talked about the store's history and then immediately threw out several masterpieces and classic works by master craftsmen. It only took him three minutes to let Li Yan know that the six watches in his hands were of the highest investment value, the most status-reflecting, and the best craftsmanship.

It's really awesome.

However, Li Yan fell in love with a silver watch that she had just seen.

The shape is elegant, the curves are powerful, and the style is simple and elegant. From a personal preference perspective, that watch is the best choice.

"Mr. Li has a good eye. This watch is the work of a recently emerging Chinese designer. It won a silver medal in an international competition. Although it is his early work, it is also a unique piece. The materials used are very good, and the craftsmanship is also first-class." The manager smiled, "So the price is only a little cheaper than these classic works of masters. If you want to buy it, I must tell you that its investment properties are not very good."

Investment... this is a third-level skill.

After activating it without knowing why, Li Yan hadn't paid much attention to it.

Because he is actually not very interested in these financial games.

But I have read the books I need to read, my economics level has improved, and I have stored a lot of basic investment theories and classic cases in my mind. I have also been working on mobile phones during this period and have also become a investor...

The skill value slowly increased to 60% - this number is not outstanding for Li Yan now.

So he certainly knows which watch has stronger investment properties.

The problem is, he didn't come here to invest, he came here to buy a watch to show off.

I like it, it’s a one-of-a-kind piece, and the materials and craftsmanship are there. After all, it’s a watch worth hundreds of thousands.

When others ask, we can talk about "the future leading Chinese watch designers" and talk about youngers helping youngers, how great it is.

Wei Yunzhi also said that she liked this one.

So Li Yan asked for it directly, took out the card and prepared to swipe it.

The manager nodded immediately and began to praise Li Yan for her sharp eyes and extraordinary taste...

What Li Yan didn't expect was that there was a "ding" sound in his head.

[Investment +1, Level 31 skill, total ]

With the first-level skill "Cognitive Breakthrough", Li Yan quickly understood what was going on.

The more idealistic side is that you will never lose money if you invest in something you like.

The more practical side is that when a person's influence reaches a certain level, his investment behavior is itself a kind of guidance.

When an ordinary person invests in something, even if he has a keen eye and really finds a treasure, it means nothing; if one has influence, then his keen eye can be like a torch, illuminating the treasure for others to see; if the influence reaches a higher level, then this keen eye is like a fucking high beam, even if you are a piece of iron, I will illuminate you with brilliant light.

As for how this watch designer followed Li Yan's rising fame and promoted his own work, the judges subconsciously judged from the perspective of "how good he was", and finally won the international award, becoming a rare young watch design master in the world, which made the value of this "early design unique piece" in Li Yan's hands soar...

That’s a side story that’s not worth mentioning.

The value is not even a bit comparable to Li Yan's numerical breakthrough.

For this trip alone, Li Yan spent less than one million yuan in total. He imagined the future - perhaps within a few months, he would have a net worth of tens of billions, and he suddenly felt dazed.

One million is nothing compared to 10 billion.

If we just consider personal enjoyment, this money is totally beyond spending.

When the management of Future Technology walked into the conference room, they were all stunned when they saw their boss sitting opposite them with slicked back hair, wearing a black suit with a dark red tie, and a silver watch on his hand.

It looks like something out of a fucking movie.

We already know that you are handsome. Please don't emphasize to us that you are handsome anymore. Qi Kexiu!

Wen Xin didn't even dare to look Li Yan in the eye.

There was an inexplicable sense of tension in the meeting. Even people like Zhou Yang and Li Guangde, who had their own outstanding status, and Sun Miao and Shang Jie, who could be considered veterans, felt a little uncomfortable. They felt that Li Yan, who was sitting in the main seat, was the protagonist of this world.

It seems that tidying yourself up is really helpful. The so-called "aura" is too influenced by external factors.

There's nothing wrong with being a little more handsome.

"Everyone, don't worry about public opinion, just do your job well. Liwei, Sun Miao, Shuyun, Luo Fei, the four of you report the current software issues that need to be coordinated; Zhou Gong, Teacher Li, Cao Haibin, you list the current difficulties in hardware development; Shangjie, you tell us about the bugs found in the system testing so far."

Li Yan leaned back in her chair and spoke calmly and forcefully. She didn't look like she was 16 at all. She could be more like 26.

“You don’t need to explain the cause and effect in your report. Just say that I will solve the problem you can’t solve.”
