Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 453 He said billion, right?

Chen Fan almost collapsed in his chair.

Whenever he tried to get closer to Li Yan, he would be shocked.

Always! Shocked!
It’s never ending, brother.

His thoughts were interrupted as he looked at the Jiaolong phone in his hand - of course it was given to him by Li Yan, but it was not a unique version, it just had a higher steel grade number - and suddenly smiled.

"God Yan, do you still remember Klotkovic?"

"remember."

In early 10, he ranked first in the International Youth Olympiad in Informatics with the same score as Li Yan.

An absolute genius who has been ranked first in the gap for several years in a row.

The reason why Li Yan remembered him this time was not just because he had a very good memory. He was tied for first place and could be considered an opponent worthy of respect.

"What's wrong?"

"In this year's Youth Information Olympics, which just concluded, he took first place in the world again."

"That's amazing." Li Yan praised sincerely.

It's a small miracle accomplished by a free person.

My buddy's perseverance is extraordinary. He can participate in this way without getting bored. His motivation is far beyond that of ordinary people.

"If he knew you praised him, he would be very happy."

"Are you still in contact with him?" Li Yan was curious.

"Yes. Actually, after the last competition, most of us added each other on social media, which means you were completely isolated."

Li Yan had indeed never thought of this, because he believed from the bottom of his heart that those who won the Youth Information Olympics awards could not give him any help.

What he needs is not potential, but solid combat capability.

For example, the team under Academician Ni.

“Can you add people from abroad on social media?”

"I just flipped through it. I didn't go to any Porn site or any weird websites."

"Then how do you know?"

"What you see and hear is what you hear."

This kid... Li Yan even laughed.

"So," he asked Chen Fan, "did Klotkovic say anything?"

"He said he's been waiting for you this year."

...Why do you regard Mr. Li as your enemy?
"Before the game, he said that he missed you every day when he didn't see you."

No? Why is it a bit weird?
"I didn't see you during the competition, but he kept asking about the Chinese players. Then he was told what you were doing all the way."

"...It sounds a little refreshing." Li Yan said with a smile.

"Almost all of Huaxia's contestants this year are your fans. They all took out their Jiaolong phones and became the brightest ones in the audience."

“Are there any girls participating this year?”

"She likes you very much. She keeps saying that she wants to follow in your footsteps and 'get' you sooner or later."

"Just shut up."

"Yes, yes, I shouldn't have done that. Big brother already has his own princess..."

Chen Fan suddenly felt a chill and immediately changed the subject: "After reading it, Clo went crazy, mumbling scriptures while grabbing his hair, jumping around and covering his face until tears came out."

"That doesn't sound very good."

Chen Fan waved his hands. "This guy has always been like this, talking nonsense. We can actually understand it."

Can you understand this?

"Are you all talking nonsense too?" Li Yan asked.

"No!" Chen Fan rolled his eyes, then sighed abruptly. The change of mood made Li Yan confused. "After crying, Clo shouted, 'Li Yan didn't come because he went to pursue higher-level achievements.'"

hiss……

“We understand the sentiment.”

"How come you talk like you're there?"

"My junior brother broadcast live to me, and Cloe also chats with me often."

"A socialite."

"Then I'm not as good as you," Chen Fan smiled, "Kro kept sending me messages the past two days, saying 'I'm really happy about Li Yan's existence.'"

Stop, stop.

Li Yan shuddered. "I wonder if there's something wrong with your translation. It sounds scary."

"But speaking of it, we are all very interested in one thing." Chen Fan changed the subject again.

"you?"

"Zixiang, Yudi, Yining, follow me."

Li Yan raised an eyebrow, "I know what you want to ask."

Chen Fan looked away embarrassedly.

"You want to know the company's revenue, right?" Li Yan said with a smile, "That's normal, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Chen Fan nodded.

After all, they hold 2% of the shares, and Li Yan has also promised to give them dividends. Since they have acknowledged that Li Yan is a god, someone they can't even catch up with, they are not willing to compare themselves with him. They should just enjoy the happiness of following the right person and taking the right path.

I saw in the news that 20 million Jiaolong phones were sold. This must be an exaggerated number. Two thousand yuan per unit, that’s 40 billion yuan!
However, Chen Fan is not so stupid. He knows that there are costs that he cannot calculate or understand at all, so it is impossible for him to use sales as a reference.

The key point is that this number is really beyond his understanding.

Chen Fan's family is considered wealthy. After all, his mother is the president of a famous private enterprise in Rongxi District, but the biggest number he hears every day is "tens of millions".

As for him, he has never lacked pocket money since he was a child, but the biggest sum of money he has ever spent was tens of thousands of yuan to buy a computer.

Suddenly this digital reference system becomes tens of billions?
"The investment in other platforms is a bit high now, and there is no return for the time being. But as you can see, another wave of dragons is coming, and the outcome will be in the next two or three months. Whether we can only sell mobile phones or directly establish a unique ecosystem at the monopoly level will greatly affect the final profit."

Chen Fan calmed down a little, "I understand."

Li Yan added, "I don't care much about personal interests, which will affect everyone's dividends to some extent, but I will increase the fixed salary depending on the situation."

Chen Fan shook his head repeatedly, "Stop, stop, stop, Yan Shen, that's not what I meant. I'm just curious. Even if I can only make tens of thousands a month, I'll be happy."

Tens of thousands? "You are... a little too conservative."

Chen Fan's breathing became rapid.

However, Li Yan did not intend to say too much. There was no definite number yet. Anyway, they were not in a hurry. Li Yan would give whatever was due, so it was better to wait.

"Let's get off topic, let's talk about the competition."

This is too weird... Chen Fan adjusted his breathing and felt a little dazed.

Just as Li Yan just said, the outcome will be decided in the next two or three months. With the fierce business wars outside and the ever-changing situation, a king of the smartphone industry may suddenly emerge and become a unicorn or a giant.

But Li Yan, who was at the center of the storm, just sat there with a calm face, discussing some kind of youth science and technology innovation competition...

The center of the storm is really the calmest.

"God Yan, I actually have a more basic question. How are you going to present the results of the competition?"

“A large model of a city center that is fully interactive and can be used in real time.”

"Ok?"

"Let's choose Rongxi or Xinqiao city center, find a core area to build a model, get some approximate passenger flow data, and simulate the flow of people in the city center at different times. Then set up random travel for people, and let the judges or on-site guests randomly connect to one of the 'people', and let them decide whether to take a taxi and participate in a complex travel system."

Chen Fan frowned, "Then what?"

"Let them test the real-time adjustment capability of the algorithm, so that unmanned or autonomous driving can find the optimal solution for travel in high-density urban centers with high controllability."

"So that's what you mean..." Chen Fan nodded. "My understanding of autonomous driving research has always been about automotive hardware and software, such as how to identify pedestrians and how to respond to emergencies. When I first heard you say that, I was wondering what the point was."

"Of course, what you are talking about is a major research direction for driverless cars." Li Yan also nodded. "Safety is the most important premise. We don't have much technical accumulation and advantages in this area, and we can't do anything about it. Why not start from an idealistic perspective? What does it mean if an entire area is operated by driverless cars?"

"Into the future."

"It means that the entire traffic system, except for pedestrians, is controllable." Li Yan was not interrupted by Chen Fan's wit.

It's like this, when Li Yan really wants to speak, she doesn't care what others say.

Just listen.

"Under the circumstance that autonomous driving can at least ensure that the vehicle brakes in time when a pedestrian runs into the road, a controllable traffic operation system can achieve the most efficient operation. Traffic jams will not exist, and all trips will take the best route with the shortest travel time. If the algorithm is powerful enough and the hardware can support it, it can even achieve uniform acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle throughout the journey, without the silky smooth experience of sudden braking."

Chen Fan couldn't keep up. He felt that what Li Yan said about autonomous driving was fake, and he started to think about the "future city" in his mind, which was real.

"As long as the algorithm is strong enough and the calculation is powerful enough, we can also set manual traffic lights for pedestrians. When you press the button to cross the road, you will be given 15 seconds to pass. However, within 15 seconds - this is just a preliminary estimate - you cannot press it again. The signal will be directly fed back to the system, and all cars in the area can react to this 15 seconds."

"This isn't just one or two fifteen-second bursts!" Chen Fan figured it out. "It's going to be hard! The more there are, the harder it is!"

"It's okay. I didn't even take it as a challenge. We didn't even touch the hardware."

"Hiss!" Chen Fan took a deep breath.

"The optimal solution for route scheduling is calculated in real time. The influencing factors are the uncontrollable travel of people, the number of vehicles, speed, and the starting and ending points of the route. This is a mathematical problem."

"Essentially, the research we are doing can be said to be the path algorithm for autonomous driving."

Chen Fan pursed his lips and frowned, "It feels, it seems, a little difficult."

"Don't worry about it. Collect the information you need to collect first. It's useless to just talk about it. Only when you have data can you have problems. Only when you have problems can you analyze them. Only when you have analysis can you know the direction to solve them. Only when you have a direction can you truly implement them."

"God Yan, do you have a direction now?"

"Actually, there is."

When Li Yan said this, she was obviously hiding the second half of the sentence "It's too hard to say it now".

Chen Fan didn't ask. If even Li Yan was not sure he could solve the problem for the time being, it would be useless for him to listen.

"So how should we get this data? Some of it should be confidential, right? It seems the data level is also very high."

"It should be fine?" Li Yan's question left Chen Fan at a loss.

After thinking it over in his mind, Li Yan nodded to himself, "I'll ask a few people later. I think we still need some official support."

At this moment, Chen Fan still didn't know what kind of shock Li Yan's simple words meant.

So he just nodded naturally.

"Hello? Mr. Dong, good morning. Good morning. Nothing much. I just want to ask if I want Rongxi... Never mind. I just want a small area in Baijiang New Town in Xinqiao District, maybe the size of five or six blocks, building data, daily traffic data of people and vehicles, etc. You only have map data there, right? Looking for the construction department? Okay. Okay, give it to me too. I'll use it for research. Hahaha, no, no, it's just a hobby. That's it for now. Bye."

Li Yan sighed, "We still have to deal with the authorities."

"It's not that easy after all." Chen Fan smiled.

"No, there are just a lot of extra things, which is a bit annoying to deal with."

Huh? Chen Fan didn't understand this sentence.

Just as she was thinking about it, Li Yan actually called some unknown leader directly, "Hello? Mayor Ren, yes, Li Yan, hello, hello."

mayor?

Li Yan expressed her needs in a concise manner. Chen Fan vaguely heard an enthusiastic voice from the other end of the phone: "Doing research, right? Very good, very good. The data is..."

"It doesn't involve privacy. I don't need personal information or specific addresses. I just need numbers. After thinking about it, the various business buildings and cameras at intersections should be able to count the flow of people and cars, right? The data of the buildings doesn't need to be too detailed, as long as it can roughly match the flow of people."

Chen Fan directly took out his mobile phone to search and found the personal encyclopedia page of New Taipei City Deputy Mayor Ren Jiangfeng.

This is a leader that even his parents find difficult to contact, and he responded enthusiastically when Li Yan suddenly called.

No, he started comparing again. What the hell is this? Chen Fan hit himself on the head.

After a moment of distraction, I saw Li Yan smiling, but the upper half of her face was full of helplessness as she responded:

"No need, Mayor Ren. I'm just going to participate in the National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition and I need it for my research. As you said, I can just go to the Baijiang New Town Management Committee and I'll contact them for specific needs. There's no need to hold a meeting. It's not appropriate to call so many departments over for my personal matter."

Mayor Ren's voice on the other end of the phone was quite loud. "How can this be a private matter? You want to do research. At the very least, it will contribute to New Taipei and Linjiang. At the most, it will be a great thing that may promote the development of all mankind."

Li Yan's expression froze.

Chen Fan over there was already stunned.

"To be honest with you, Li Yan, I was actually in a meeting just now. I would have hung up even if Lao Zheng (another deputy mayor) called me, but I have to answer your call."

Li Yan smiled and typed frantically on the keyboard with one hand, sending a message to Chen Fan:
"Here it comes, classic rhetoric, 30% true and 70% false, making it difficult to deal with emotionally."

"Mayor Ren, it's really not necessary. Thank you for your attention. How about this, please tell the leaders of the Baijiang New City Management Committee later. I will contact them later and visit them if necessary."

"No, you are now a billionaire, a super taxpayer in New Taipei and Linjiang, and a leader in the new technology industry. I will ask them to visit you and treat it as a research tour. I will go too."

"Here it comes, the leader's decisions are always so sudden."

After a few more words of communication, Li Yan couldn't resist any more and could only nod.

After hanging up the phone, he let out a long sigh and looked at Chen Fan helplessly, "See, I told you... there will be a lot of unnecessary things."

Stunned Chen Fan's head shook: "He just said 10 billion, right?"
