Chapter 448 What Qualifications Do You Have to Talk to Me

The general direction of the Thousand Regiments War was not much different from that in Li Yan's previous life, but in this crucial step from PC to mobile, the direction of history was completely changed by Li Yan.

Back in 2011, the band is still gritting its teeth and persisting, continuing to expand in small and medium-sized cities, truly adopting the strategy of "surrounding the cities from the countryside", waiting for capital to favor them and give them a sum of money that will secure victory.

Then continue to cultivate your inner strength and take the mobile client route first, which will lay the foundation for reaping the fruits of victory later.

Now in 2011, the band has become the vanguard, rushing out in a hurry to grab the food, surpassing Li Yan's thinking.

Li Yan has taken the crucial first step. Future Technology has a groundbreaking mobile phone priced at 2,000 yuan per unit, and its user base is more stable than anyone else.

If the band continues to cultivate its internal strength, leveraging the huge number of group-buying users, and developing steadily, relying on the fact that "Jiaolong mobile phones cannot cover all smartphone users", it cannibalize other users, and then start a price war with Li Yan...

That's really hard to deal with.

You just can't keep your composure, Boss Wang.

Li Yan pushed the entire timeline forward, causing the company that fought to the end in the Thousand Regiments War to suffer a second wave of impact before it had time to enjoy the fruits of victory.

At times like this, it is really difficult to make rational judgments.

Group buying will continue to survive, and Li Yan is not going to fight with anyone on this matter, but it will not be easy to use the merchant resources of food group buying to switch to food delivery.

Of course, if the orchestra collapses because of this spending, Li Yan would not mind expanding her business scope.

Anyway, the foundation of the super living circle is there.

As for now, the band is in a difficult situation.

The more money is burned, the less patient the capital becomes and the greater the pressure on the orchestra.

They must show evidence that they can be the winners and must prove as soon as possible that they can eat this piece of cake.

Speed is important when you are a pioneer, and it is an advantage when you are confident.

But if you are following someone else's path and feel a little vain, then pursuing speed is the wrong path.

"We have to be fast" basically means we have already failed.

But Li Yan’s user base is there, and takeout is not mature at all. Even if the price is lowered, how can the quality be guaranteed?

Just like in 2015 in Li Yan’s previous life, everyone spent a while buying whatever was cheaper, but when prices returned to normal, it still depended on quality and service.

Being able to deliver on time is better than having random delivery; having a perfect mechanism can make the customer base more stable.

A truth that couldn’t be simpler.

Other Internet companies may die because they cannot afford to burn money and lose market share, but I make mobile phones!
Li Yan was lost in thought when she suddenly heard a strange voice:

"Boss Li, I feel like this is a matter of life and death!"

A middle-aged man with a round face, slightly bald, and wearing black-framed glasses.

Li Yan remembered him, Qin Hai, a middle-level manager in the Ministry of Commerce. He had experience in electronic product development and could barely be considered a talent.

The reason why he remembered it was not because Qin Hai was so special, but because Li Yan had a very good memory.

He is competent for mid-level and above management in all departments.

Is this guy so sharp?

Liu Liwei's eyes widened. He didn't know that his usually taciturn brother was so passionate today. He was about to speak when he heard Li Yan say:
"What do you think, Mr. Qin?"

Qin Hai suddenly became nervous. "The main reason is that I don't quite understand why you chose to retreat at such a critical juncture where we need to fight head-on."

Li Yan's brows immediately frowned.

His first reaction was to observe other people, but before he could analyze them, he heard a new point of view:
"Mr. Li, I feel that we should actually open up the system and absorb some excellent platforms, such as orchestras. Wouldn't it be better for us to join forces with them than to push forward on our own?"

She is another thinner woman in her thirties and a member of the management team of Ele.bar.

"So I am very confused. Mr. Li, you neither choose to fight with them nor cooperate with them. What are you thinking?" Qin Hai said.

"The key is that we really don't know what you think, Mr. Li, and we are a little lost in what we do." The woman immediately said, "I hope Mr. Li can explain the reasons for your decision."

There's something wrong with this man and this woman singing the same tune.

Li Yan smiled, looked at Liu Liwei, and then looked at Li Kai.

Liu Liwei and Li Kai were already sweating profusely.

"Mr. Qin," Li Yan looked at Qin Hai again, "Don't you know why we don't cooperate with the orchestra?"

Qin Hai fired the first shot and was obviously the leader. It made sense for Li Yan to have a conversation with him.

I don't even bother to pay attention to those who follow up and talk nonsense.

"Well... Liwei told me that this is a relatively idealistic decision." Qin Hai said.

Li Yan had already put away her smile. "Do you know that when talking at the conference table of Future Technology, there is a rule that 'you can't just ask questions'?"

The atmosphere in the conference room was abnormal and everyone remained silent.

This put a lot of pressure on Qin Hai.

"I understand. We just need some solutions. I think we should fight with bayonets when it's time to do so."

Li Yan didn't respond.

"Mr. Li, I think we still have to take into account the sense of responsibility of large companies." The woman spoke again, "I just heard the word 'idealism'. If you have this tendency, you should open up the system and cooperate with excellent companies..."

Liu Liwei observed Li Yan's condition and was about to attack, but suddenly heard Li Yan lower his voice and say:

"Did I ask you?"

Everyone should understand how oppressive people can be when they really get angry, even though they don't usually get angry.

It would be even more terrifying if this person was the boss.

So the entire conference room fell completely silent.

But the woman usually worked at Ele.Bar and didn’t fully understand Li Yan’s position in future technology, so she argued: “It’s just a free discussion…”

"Shut up!" Liu Liwei shouted directly.

It was too late. Li Yan showed a rare unhappy expression, "When did I say it was a free discussion?"

"Isn't the purpose of attending a meeting to discuss? If you can't speak and express your own ideas, why bother..."

"What qualifications do you have to talk to me?"

Li Kai felt his legs weaken. He had always felt that his position as the boss of Ele.com was a bit unrealistic. He looked at Li Yan as if she were a god. But the management he recruited had rarely caused Li Yan to publicly rage...

What no one expected was that the woman slammed the table and said, "I don't deserve it, right? Fine, if I don't deserve it, then I'll leave."

"Go away." Li Yan looked directly at Wang Zi who was standing beside him. "It's open now, and the compensation that should be given must be paid in full."

Wang Zi nodded, "I'll arrange it right away."

Before everyone could calm down, they heard Li Yan suddenly mutter:

"Your level is too low. At least you can speak with one voice before talking to me. It's unprofessional."

The others were a little confused, and Qin Hai's breathing became rapid.

Unify the caliber, unify what caliber?
Naturally, this is the caliber of these troublemakers.

This female manager who no longer belongs to Future Technology is not from the same group as Qin Hai.

Qin Hai’s main strategy is to encourage Li Yan to spend money to fight back, which is also the main strategy of the Beijing technology circle.

After all, Li Yan's main business is making mobile phones. When it comes to building a software platform, he probably won't get much favor from capital. So far, the largest investor is Wei Yili, and he probably won't compete with other capitals on sub-projects.

First push Li Yan into the money-burning battlefield, and then use the power of major capitals in Beijing's technology circle to crush him.

He was originally from the Beijing circle and knew about the communication between the orchestra and Li Yan.

This female executive was more radical. She used the excuse of cooperation to directly ask Li Yan to release the system... This approach was really too bold.

No matter how you look at it, it's impossible for Li Yan to accept it. The steady and cautious faction and the reckless faction can't agree on the same caliber.

But did Li Yan think that the two of them were in cahoots, or did he also see some clues from Qin Hai's speech?

"Go on, Mr. Qin." Li Yan said with a smile, "Continue to express your brilliant ideas."

Qin Hai already felt very guilty, but there was no way back.

I have to continue despite the urge to do so:

"My opinion...is what I just said. We cannot give the initiative to those competitors who are engaged in a price war."

"Is this your 'solution'?"

"Yes."

Li Yan laughed, "What a bullshit solution. I can find the answer by just asking people on the street."

No one dared to laugh.

Seeing Qin Hai's face turn red and white, Li Yan continued:

"How long will the price war last? What level of investment will be required? How does our user base compare to those platforms? Do you have any information about other platforms' bottom line in price wars? Can you at least give me one or two points? You have nothing to say, and you still have the nerve to be an opinion leader at the meeting?"

"Mr. Li, I just want to know what you think..."

"Just?" Li Yan sneered, "I don't want to and dare not tell you."

The one with the ugliest expression was actually Liu Liwei.

Strictly speaking, these two people were his subordinates. They reported some unpleasant situations, and they also angered Li Yan...

Liu Liwei was already thinking about the damage the brambles would cause to his bare back.

When the word "dare not" came out, no matter how stupid Qin Hai was, he should know what Li Yan meant.

So he smiled unnaturally, fell silent, and felt his temples throbbing.

After the meeting, Li Yan kept Liu Liwei and Li Kai.

"You don't have to look so bad," Li Yan said with a smile, "I'm not looking for trouble with you."

"It was my fault for lack of management." Liu Liwei lowered his head.

"Have you told anyone else about my thinking?"

"Not yet... because I don't think it's necessary for the middle management of the department to know the reasons for this kind of decision."

"why?"

Liu Liwei wasn't sure whether Li Yan was satisfied or not, but he always spoke his mind, which Li Yan liked very much.

“We are worried about information leakage.”

"What have you realized too?" Li Yan raised his eyebrows.

Liu Liwei hesitated for a while, but decided to tell the truth. "I didn't realize it, but I felt that if I didn't understand some of the decisions you considered, I shouldn't have mentioned them. I was afraid that I would convey the wrong direction because of my misunderstanding."

I don’t know whether this character is good or bad.

"It was an accidental success." Li Yan shrugged. "These two people are probably commercial spies."

Li Kai's eyes suddenly widened.

Liu Liwei was not very surprised.

"It's not just one or two." Li Yan sighed, "This is a stage that all emerging companies with rapid development momentum must go through. We have touched the cake of many people, so they will naturally not compete with us fairly. I have done some things, so now some people are so anxious that they jump on my face."

"When I get back, I will handle Qin Hai's resignation procedures and clean up the internal structure of the department," said Liu Liwei.

"No need." Li Yan waved her hand. "They are doing things in the dark, don't bring it to the surface. It's enough to be on guard in your heart. You should be firm and know some things yourself. When implementing the work, you should judge who is making normal suggestions and who is trying to cause trouble, who can be trusted and who needs to be marginalized. When you are in this position, you must do a good job of management."

"Yes!" Li Kai almost saluted.

"Liwei, Qin Hai, don't leave yet." Li Yan said, "Let him panic and give him a chance to reform. Maybe it can save you some time and effort in judging enemies and friends."

"clear."

"If you can turn your unsteady enemies into your own people, you will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

The meeting officially ended. Wang Zi knocked on the door and entered the meeting room to clean up, but saw Li Yan sitting on the chair with a tired look on his face.

"Mr. Li, you are tired."

Li Yan kept her head half lowered, her eyes out of focus, and responded leisurely:
"Tired."

"Some work should be left to the ministers." Wang Zi refilled Li Yan's tea.

“I’m just avoiding it in advance.”

"You should take a rest."

Li Yan was silent for a while. "Rest can only restore energy. I am full of energy now, but I am tired mentally."

"If you are tired, you will have your own way to rest." Wang Zi smiled and said, "Do something you want to do. These company affairs are not all of your life."

Li Yan smiled, "Sister Wang, why do you say that?"

Wang Zi smiled meaningfully, "If the company was everything to you, you wouldn't have achieved what you have today."

"Speaking of metaphysics."

Li Yan lay down as soon as she returned to the office. Various data were still being updated in the work group. The mobile phone sales figures were the money coming in, and the operations of major platforms were the money going out.

Li Yan knew that these funds, which were astronomical figures for ordinary people, were lying in the company's account, and the right to control this account was in his hands.

The money that flows out drives more than a thousand people to become components of the giant ship of future technology and move forward continuously.

While others are engaging in price wars, Li Yan is cultivating his internal strength, building the most professional distribution team and the most guaranteed after-sales service, which is actually also burning money.

It's just that the money was burned in visible places.

But for Li Yan personally, money has become just numbers, flowing in and out, and it really lacks a sense of reality.

Tomorrow is Saturday. Li Yan thought about it and sent a message to Wei Yunzhi:
"are you free tomorrow?"

Of course I can’t go back now. Today is Friday and I should still be in class.

Hiss...the company boss and a female student who is in class?

That sounds a bit taboo.

It was not until the evening that Wei Yunzhi replied: "Report to the boss, yes!"

"Go out and play."

"Understood! What's the plan, Boss Li?"

"Xiao Wei, you decide. The task is to spend money."

“Set a cap?”

"Why are you going to spend it all on me?"
