Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 454 Everyone seems to be playing with you
"That's what the outside world thinks." Li Yan shrugged. "There's nothing much to say about sales alone."

"This Mayor Ren is really... nice to you."

Li Yan took a look at the sales volume and said, "I feel like I have made 10 billion just from selling mobile phones in early July."

Chen Fan almost dropped the teacup in his hand.

"Wha, what?!"

What a sharp, intricate coloratura tenor.

Li Yan laughed very pretentiously (in Chen Fan's eyes), "I make 300 yuan for each mobile phone. So, there are more than 30 million mobile phones, which means a profit of 10 billion yuan."

Chen Fan was stunned.

"What? Do you think that I set the price at 1999 just to keep the price low and ignore the profit?"

"I really thought so... I thought you were just burning Mr. Wei's money to build your empire..."

"No one can afford to spend so much money." Li Yan laughed. "Come on, but that's the profit from selling mobile phones. The platform is currently burning almost all money and there is no profit. Employee salaries are also a large expense, plus performance and investor returns. I am far from being a billionaire."

"I understand. I'll call you the Billionaire Boy!"

Li Yan covered her face and said, "As expected, you are also a weirdo, Chen Fan."

People are like this. When they are under great emotional pressure, they will suddenly find some inexplicable outlets for release.

Suddenly becoming funny or losing focus is one of the manifestations.

"But whether I am possible or not is not important. People outside like to promote it this way." Li Yan shook her head. "The media and the public like to create gods, especially China. They create a perfect image, create gods and then destroy gods. They never get tired of it."

"Will you be troubled by this?" Chen Fan really hadn't recovered from his emotion yet. The other half of his brain was probably calculating a formula: 10 billion times 2% equals...

I don’t dare to think about it.

That’s equal to two hundred million!

It’s so easy that I don’t even need to think about it.

Two hundred million, two hundred million, you can never spend it all in a lifetime...

A top-of-the-line laptop that costs 20,000 yuan, can you really buy it for 20,000 yuan?

I am sixteen this year. If I live to be eighty-six, I still have seventy years to live. Twenty thousand divided by seventy equals two hundred and eighty-five point seventy one hundred and forty-two...

Damn, there are only 365 days in a year, and you can’t use up all the money even if you smash one in two days!
"No worries. I don't need to create a god, but I'm not afraid of being created a god. I just need to be a god. When people want to destroy the god, they can think twice and just say 'Fuck, this is the real God'."

Seeing Chen Fan smiling foolishly, Li Yan knew that this guy was out of his mind and didn't even listen to his pretense.

"What are you thinking about? Wipe your saliva."

"No, no!" Chen Fan came back to his senses, "I feel like I missed something."

Li Yan was about to say something, but heard Chen Fan say to himself: "Forget it, I think I still need to digest it. I'll take the information back and study it after it's copied."

Congratulations to Chen Fan for successfully interrupting Li Yan's pretentious spell.

But soon, he saw a very strange folder on Li Yan's desktop: "Summary of "The Theory of Autonomous Driving That Cannot Be Learned in Three Years"".

"What is this?"

“Also known as: A summary of the theory of autonomous driving learned in three hours.”

"How long will it take me to learn?"

"I'll try to be faster than me, but this book has 784 pages. It's said to be about autonomous driving, but in fact it's full of nonsense. It's a strange book."

More than 700 pages? Three hours to finish?

Chen Fan suddenly felt relieved, "What the hell is going on?"

The competition was at the end of July, so there was actually only about a month of preparation time. For Chen Fan, it was impossible to produce any results on this topic in just one month.

But for Li Yan, all she needed was an east wind.

The east wind of improving "mathematical" skills.

As long as your capabilities are improved and the core problems are solved, presenting results will not be a problem.

There is no other way, just learn it.

Just like the breakthroughs made by computers step by step, this time the protagonist has become mathematics.

But when it comes to math, proficiency hardly improves after you reach a certain level, and a flash of inspiration is not something that can be acquired through practice.

Li Yan really didn't quite understand what he was learning.

The skill values ​​can be improved, and computers themselves are related to mathematics. Li Yan's logical ability is there, and it is only natural that the score will be improved to 70 after learning enough relevant knowledge.

But it seems not enough.

A score of 70 is already very powerful. It can give full play to the synergistic effect of Li Yan's other abilities, and one person can exert the momentum of thousands of troops.

Mathematics is not.

On the one hand, the levels corresponding to 70% progress in these two areas may be different; on the other hand, the requirements of these two skills are also different.

The combat effectiveness displayed by a master who is proficient in all aspects of the computer field must be very strong.

They can do this and that, and they can work together to solve difficult problems. One person's efficiency is better than that of a team of a hundred people.

But mathematics is not like that. Mathematics emphasizes the ultimate output in a certain aspect. Although there have been many all-rounders in the field of mathematics in history, on the whole, the masters who excel in the world of mathematics must have practiced a certain skill to the extreme.

Your overall score is 70 points. You can easily solve problems below 70 points in difficulty, but you will have no idea what to do when faced with 71 points.

My total score is only 30 points, but I have a unique skill that can solve difficult questions worth or points.

The so-called flash of inspiration, the so-called God-given intuition, the so-called "I understand."

In fact, for this science and technology innovation competition alone, Li Yan does not need to force himself to solve difficult integer problems. With his current abilities and resources, he can easily make some small robots and write an interesting algorithm to show off.

Whether you get first place or not is a difficult question that we will leave to the judges to decide.

Winning this kind of competition really doesn't have much appeal, but it's nice to use it to do other things, have a legitimate reason, and show off on the campus I haven't visited for a long time.

So since he was going to participate, he chose a big topic to push himself.

Anyway, there are two sets of solutions, and there is no way to solve the difficulties. The worst that can happen is to avoid them. There is still no pressure to present a wonderful result.

Mayor Ren's visit is scheduled for Thursday, July 7.

Coincidentally, on July 7, Jiaolong Mobile achieved a memorable achievement.

Total sales exceeded 33.33 million units.

This is a very interesting number.

The first time Li Yan’s project received attention was when she received an investment of 33.33 million from Mr. Han of Ligao Wisdom.

Of course, it is actually the support of Wei Yili.

Now, Li Yan's preliminary calculation shows that the profit of a mobile phone is 300 yuan, which, multiplied by this number, is exactly 10 billion.

After its release on May 5, the phone sold over 20 million units in 47 days, with sales profits exceeding billion.

As for the figures that the media was paying attention to, the total sales had exceeded 60 billion. It was terrifying.

I don't know where they got the information from, but all major media outlets seized on this opportunity to start promoting it. Although the claim that "Li Yan's income is at least one-sixth of sales" was unfounded, it was somehow quite convincing.

Everyone thinks that the number one-sixth is already very low, even if the price of a mobile phone is 1999, so it is easy to accept this statement.

In the eyes of the media and the public, Li Yan has become a billionaire.

At this point, even if he comes out to explain that other platforms are burning money, it’s useless. Who cares about these details?

If you earn 10 billion, you earn 10 billion. It's better than calling you "Mr. 60 Billion", right?
Friends and partners who knew the inside story all called to congratulate. Huang Zhan said, "I knew this day would come." Wei Yili said, "Now I can say that I have made my money back." Dong Zhenchang said, "I have a keen eye for identifying pearls." Li Chun said, "My sons are talking nonsense."

Ok?
"I saw on the news that you made 10 billion. This news is too bad. Can you report it?"

Li Chun said this on the phone.

"Uh... Dad, are there any strange people bothering you?"

"No, we bought a house as you said. This is a wealthy area. Apart from the boss always coming over to chat, everything else is fine."

"You and mom should just enjoy life now. If you find those bosses trying to get close to you annoying, why not go traveling?"

"That won't work. We can't give up our business."

Li Yan was about to spit out a mouthful of blood, "Dad, those news are not fake."

Li Chun on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time. "Your mother is here too. Wait a minute, son. Can you say it again?"

Li Yan covered her face and said, "I said, those news are not fake."

Li Yan heard Chen Fengling's sharp inhalation, "Let's go home first!"

More than ten minutes later, Li Chun and Chen Fengling listened to Li Yan's various reports at home. After confirming fifteen times that Li Yan had not lied to them, they hugged each other and cried bitterly.

"So you should hurry up and live in New Taipei. Dad is still the legal person of the company. I get anxious sometimes when you're not around."

"Don't worry, don't worry. I will definitely hold on to your dad. We won't talk to anyone now!" Chen Fengling expressed her determination.

"That's not necessary..." Li Yan said with a smile, "I'll look for a house during this time, and you can move in later. Buy new furniture instead of old ones..."

"of course!"

To Li Yan's surprise, Chen Fengling did not insist on taking any old items, and decisively supported buying all new ones.

Yes, 10 billion... Most people have no idea about this number, and if you add "yuan" as a unit, they have even less idea.

But at least everyone knows that this is because it is too big.

A mansion worth ten million is nothing, and a set of furniture worth tens of thousands is just like a toy. Chen Fengling was originally a little sad that she would not live in the house she had just bought for two million. As soon as the thought of "selling it first to make some money" came to her mind, it was suppressed by "hundreds of billions".

I'll buy ten sets!
The strange thing is that even Xiaopang made a series of frantic expressions to express his mixed emotions after seeing the news.

Wei Yunzhi was very restrained and just asked lightly: "Are you happy?"

Li Yan replied, "I am happy. I realized it later and now I feel excited."

I wanted to continue sharing something, but I saw Wei Yunzhi just said "That's good" and went offline.

...I can understand the girl’s thoughts.

The previous conversation has more or less brought some realities to the surface, which is a severe blow to many couples who have been dating for several years and are about to get married, let alone an adolescent girl.

There needs to be some buffer period. To be honest, Li Yan herself hasn’t thought it through yet.

On July 7, Mayor Ren led his team to visit Future Technology as scheduled.

There were more than twenty people, including many representatives from the business community.

Li Yan, Sun Miao, Wang Zi, and Liu Liwei came forward. Li Yan took everyone around, introduced them briefly, and then pulled Mayor Ren, the director of the Baijiang New Town Management Committee, and several leaders of relevant functional departments of New Taipei City into the office.

As for those who are doing serious research, they will be left to Wang Zi and Sun Miao.

The staff and reporters who were filming the scene were left completely confused.

Chen Fan, who was in Li Yan's office watching a group of leaders file into the office, was also confused.

The main thing was that these leaders he didn’t know shook hands with him with a smile, and called him “Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen” all the time.

But at this time, Chen Fan was not too nervous.

But when he sat down, he couldn't do it anymore.

There is a built-in conference room in Li Yan's office that can accommodate more than a dozen people. Now Li Yan and Chen Fan sit on one side, and the leaders opposite sit in rows on the other side.

"The director of the Baijiang New City Management Committee, who is also another deputy mayor, Luo Dingxin; my old friend Director Chen from the New Taipei Science and Technology Bureau; and the deputy directors of our city's Transportation Bureau, Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, Planning Bureau, and Industry and Commerce Bureau..."

Huh? What? Just for this competition?
Chen Fan felt that the world he saw at this moment was different from the world his father described.

"Li Yan, these people are all leaders in charge of specific business. In fact, our Secretary Li was also going to come today. He is really busy with official duties, and we have other things to discuss after all. I told him to arrange a serious investigation next time."

This is very normal. The boss from Linjiang has been here, but the boss from Xinbei has only held a meeting. This is not right.

Li Yan was very clear about the reason. Secretary Li was not very optimistic about Li Yan's project at the beginning, so his attitude was not very positive.

That's why Jiang Feng was allowed to handle all the communications. Who would have thought that in the end he would not only achieve results but even become successful.

Li Yan was not moved at all after hearing these words, but Chen Fan was different. He felt that New Taipei was lowering its posture to show goodwill to Li Yan, and since he was sitting next to Li Yan, wasn't it the same as showing goodwill to himself?
The highest-ranking official my father has ever seen is the district chief. Chen Fan’s middle school soul is burning fiercely.

It will stop burning and turn into ashes if it continues to burn.

At this meeting, Li Yan started making various requests right from the start, asking, "Do you have this data?", "Can you provide it?", "It would be best if you could give it to me?", etc.

Chen Fan felt a little nervous after hearing this.

However, leaders one after another were very enthusiastic and even discussed with each other how to meet Li Yan's data needs.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was quite relaxed and pleasant.

"In this case, I have basically obtained the data I want. Mayor Ren, I would also like to ask, are there any outstanding teams in New Taipei City that are doing research on autonomous driving or artificial intelligence algorithms?"

Ren Jiangfeng looked at Director Chen of the Science and Technology Bureau and said, "Yes, there is a team led by an academician at Linda University, and there is a technology company in Xinqiao District called... I have to go back and check it out."

"We'll make some arrangements by then, and see if they can come over to Future Technology..."

Li Yan interrupted quickly, "Mayor Ren, I want to go and study, and it's really inconvenient to ask others to come over."

The matter was settled so quickly. The meeting lasted only half an hour and was both fulfilling and efficient.

After the meeting, the leaders just took the car back. Before leaving, they took turns shaking hands with Li Yan.

Chen Fan was completely overloaded.

"God Yan, the leaders are really great. They don't mind the trouble."

"My happiness is priceless, but it's OK if they are happy."

"One call and a hundred responses. All requests are fulfilled. This is too exaggerated." Chen Fan grabbed his head. "And I have a very strange feeling. It seems that they are playing with you?"

Li Yan smiled and nodded, "Yes, the premise for others to play with you is that you are also 'playing'."
