Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 455: On Li Yan's Growth Curve
"The youngest billionaire".

This title was even first released by the New Taipei City official media.

Of course, he still consulted Li Yan's opinion, and he was really conflicted for a while.

It was pointless to worry about it. Li Yan realized that no matter what he said now, the concept of Mr. Billionaire had already become an established fact in everyone's cognition.

It would be better to publicize it openly.

It can be considered as something that everyone likes to see. Anyway, as long as Li Yan herself does not take the initiative to participate in various activities with this name, it will be fine.

He lets others help him to be high-profile, but he himself chooses to be low-key.

The publicity is effective and can also earn you goodwill.

Water can carry a boat but can also capsize it. Public opinion can go from being praised to the sky to being thrown into the mud in a matter of a moment.

Once you get slapped in the face, you may never be able to get back on your feet again.

Now that his competitors are waiting for him to make a mistake, Li Yan must stay calm. Thinking about it, participating in the competition now is actually a move that turns out to be a blessing in disguise.

Not only does it provide a legitimate reason to hide from sight, it can also remind those who want to cause trouble of Mr. Li's student status, and he can even get official protection on another level.

very good.

The reason why Li Yan did not actively refuse the title of "the youngest billionaire" is that he really needs to create momentum.

He didn't want to spend too much energy on things like "management" and "communication". Revealing his identity as Mr. Billionaire could save him a lot of time-wasting communication costs.

Chen Fan, who was studying under Li Yan, felt deeply touched by this.

Ren Jiangfeng was very proactive and arranged a "learning trip" the next day after visiting Li Yan.

The first stop is the Linda Artificial Intelligence Research Team.

Gao Kun, professor at the School of Computer Science at Linyi University, head of the Kunpeng Laboratory, and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, is best known for being a “young” academician.

He looks and has a similar temperament to Mai Wen, but his attitude is much gentler.

And, a bit of business.

I don't know whether Ren Jiangfeng has taken care of it, or whether Academician Gao lacks partners willing to invest in artificial intelligence. In any case, his style is quite different from that of some old academicians who only talk about academics.

The whole communication with Li Yan was very friendly and patient, and she responded actively to the various questions raised by Li Yan.

Knowing that Li Yan was just doing a project to participate in the National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition, he smoothly switched to being a patient mentor who "expected the younger generation to achieve results" and continued to answer Li Yan's questions.

Of course, because Li Yan was actually very strong, the conversation between the two sides quickly turned from general discussions at the beginning to in-depth exchanges.

After leaving, Academician Gao even seemed a little reluctant to leave and insisted on giving Li Yan a few books - among which naturally were his own research works.

Until Li Yan left by car, Academician Gao made a special phone call and said:

"Li Yan, if you have any ideas after reading the book, just come to me directly. You can call me or meet me. We can have a good discussion."

As for Star Technology, it was even more outrageous. After Li Yan declined the city leaders' accompaniment in many ways, he only went with Director Chen from the Science and Technology Bureau, only to see the entire Star Technology management team standing at the door waiting.

Li Yan was in a daze when she got off the car, thinking to herself, when did I ever invest in this company?
He looked like he was welcoming the chairman.

Stellar Technology focuses on various novel technological gadgets, such as drones.

At this time, the concept of civilian drones is still quite new, and people's understanding of drones is basically that they are for military or special industry use. For technology companies to develop civilian functional drones is an option that costs a lot of money and is difficult to grasp the future.

They also simultaneously research various algorithms, including autonomous driving.

At present, Stellar Technology actually has nothing profitable. It relies on capital investment and government support to pursue its dreams, has achieved some research results, and has a good reputation in the industry.

“Except for not making money, everything is good.” This is the evaluation given by Secretary Li of New Taipei City.

The existence of this company itself is somewhat of a mutually beneficial relationship with the government, so the relationship is very good and it often receives visits from various senior leaders.

Never before have the standards been as high as they are today.

Chen Fan was shocked. He knew something about this company, so why was the world different from what his father had described?

Looking at the expressions of the group of people when they saw Li Yan, those who didn’t know would think that they were fans seeing their idol.

Chen Fan was a little uncomfortable. It was okay to take advantage of the light, but he would melt if he was exposed to the sun.

Li Yan actually couldn't adapt to it either.

As he said, he came here to learn, and the best situation is to have direct professional exchanges. If there is gain, then profit; if there is no gain, then leave as soon as possible.

Now, if I am too confident, I will seem like a leader coming to inspect the place with great authority. But if I am too humble, I will seem particularly artificial.

Wherever he went, he was surrounded by a group of people. When he wanted to look at a product, the boss opposite would stand on the side and introduce it with a smile. When he wanted to chat, a few people would stand opposite him. There were also two familiar people holding cameras and taking pictures.

Li Yan could imagine what the picture would look like.

Director Chen is his younger brother, Chen Fan is his secretary, and everyone at Star Technology warmly welcomes the leader’s visit for investigation.

No, fall!

Fortunately, after arriving at the conference room, Li Yan had a relatively equal communication environment. A few words aroused everyone's interest and also put some pressure on Star Technology. With the professionalism together, they entered the rhythm that Li Yan wanted.

"I think the current research direction of artificial intelligence is still to rely on the advantage of computer computing speed to go the route of big brick flying. Can we consider starting from the perspective of adjusting the computer calculation method?" Li Yan said, "Although it is difficult and it is also an immature point of view, I will throw out some ideas to stimulate discussion."

"Indeed, it is a bit lazy to always think about accumulating data and exhaustively calculating when developing artificial intelligence. But we always feel that it is a bit mysterious to let machines think on their own."

"That involves the nature of thinking. How does human thinking come about..."

The topic suddenly changed direction, and Director Chen's eyes gradually became unfocused.

At the end, it was a replica of what happened with Academician Gao. After getting in the car, Li Yan received another call from the CEO of Hengxing. "Mr. Li, if you have any ideas after reading our company's results collection, please feel free to contact me."

Chen Fan was deeply moved in his heart all the way, so much so that he had no idea what Li Yan had asked or learned along the way.

But it doesn’t matter. Chen Fan didn’t understand much of the information Li Yan gave him.

Both Li Yan and himself knew very clearly the positioning of both sides in this competition.

One has invincibility written all over his face, the other focuses on experience.

So Chen Fan's focus of thought gradually shifted from the competition to Li Yan.

It eventually turned into a passionate group chat with the three young masters of Hua University after returning home at night.

The one used is "Micro Chat" developed by Future Technology.

Hua Da San Shao was very interested in the regular program "Chen Fan Talks about Li Yan" and had a heated discussion on "Why Li Yan is so awesome".

He Zixiang's entry point is very wonderful:
"I think the serious topic of discussion should be 'Why is Yan Shen so awesome?'"

"Is the focus of your revision to change Li Yan to Yan Shen or the '了' at the end?"

Deng Yudi is a person who pays attention to details.

"The latter," He Zixiang may think typing is too slow, so he just uses voice input directly, "Yan Shen is an awesome person, there is nothing to discuss about this. But isn't it a bit too exaggerated now? First of all, I have to state that I am not jealous or have any extraneous thoughts, I am just really moved."

"Who wouldn't feel sad? It all comes down to it being too fast," Lai Yining responded.

"We are used to him being ahead every step of the way, but this time it was too fast. He suddenly took off like a rocket. I can't understand it at all," said Deng Yudi.

"It's suddenly worth 10 billion. Although I always say that I'm not surprised when he creates miracles, but... 10 billion, how long has it been!" "Obviously, we also... watched these projects being built."

Then their conversation became melancholy, and began with a review of Li Yan's growth history.

There are more than just a few people doing this.

The authorities are preparing, the media are collecting, friends are chatting, and the public is gossiping...

He is already an influential public figure through and through.

Huaxia Television is preparing an interview with Li Yan and is going to publish a biography of his character - although the time available for recording is not long, he did a lot of things.

The result was that the more they sorted out the information, the more shocked they became, because they could not quite understand Li Yan's growth curve.

Most people got to know Li Yan when the "Hetu system was successfully developed."

Therefore, they still had some expectations for Li Yan's subsequent achievements. For someone who dared to be the first in the world and blazed a trail to heaven, it was not an incomprehensible miracle.

If we look at the whole of China, in fact, most people have only "heard" of Li Yan's name. They know that he was a very good student, made a mobile phone, and became the youngest billionaire.

The details and growth history are not known.

Therefore, many people believe that Li Yan has a powerful background. Although it seems that his success is accidental, it is actually the inevitable result of his invincible team.

For example, in the Beijing circle, they think that Li Yan is just the pro max version of Yu Keyu.

During the process of collecting information, Huaxia Television constantly overturned and rewrote the manuscript, and in the end the writing team was confused. They deeply experienced what it meant that "objectively describing his achievements is equivalent to bragging."

Looking back on Li Yan’s growth history, it is a terrifying thing.

Under normal circumstances, it is already remarkable for a child who is gifted in childhood to not experience a "Zhongyong"-style decline or stagnation in his growth curve, but to maintain a high momentum and remain strong without any weakness.

If someone can maintain the growth rate, or even increase the inclination angle, then he will be considered the man of destiny, the one who creates miracles.

Li Yan's growth curve is an exponential increase.

Before the fifth grade, Li Yan's name had only appeared on the list of first prize winners in Lincheng's prestigious mathematics competition.

After fifth grade, I suddenly started making history.

In response to questions from the Huaxia reporter, Chen Wenjing repeatedly emphasized how amazingly fast Li Yan was in the test, describing it as if she were a fairy from outer space.

Li Yan somehow completely crushed all the students in Lincheng, and was specially recruited by New Taipei No. 1 Middle School in an even more inexplicable way.

From this time on, Li Yan showed a special attribute:
"Almighty".

It is not uncommon to see people who are good at everything, but it is unbelievable to see people who are good at everything.

Li Yan can do it all, including going from a badminton enthusiast to the Rin City Youth Badminton Champion.

He was specially recruited because of his "all-round ability", so almost no one thought that he could be better than "partially-skilled students" in a single subject.

At that time, he was a rare genius in Lincheng, but when his platform was raised to New Taipei, Linjiang, and even the whole of China, he was just an "excellent student."

What’s special about it is that I learn quickly.

Normally, when a genius goes to a bigger stage for the first time, he is bound to be hit hard.

For example, many of the top small town test-takers who were admitted to the University of Washington realized after class that despite their best efforts, they could only keep up with the naps of the real geniuses.

Who isn't a genius here?

The strong sense of gap can easily lead to the shattering of the Tao hearts of these "geniuses" who are considered the best in the world in their growing environment.

As a result, Li Yan gave everyone else a heavy blow.

He seamlessly transitioned from a third-rate primary school in Lincheng to the best junior high school in Linjiang.

There's nothing to be afraid of. We are both top students in the class.

What followed was a stunning cultural performance, which demonstrated a multi-dimensional and all-encompassing explosion in science, liberal arts, art, and sports.

Looking back at Li Yan's growth history now, we realize that Li Yan had actually started to try painting and online writing, and soon after achieved achievements that other dreamers would never be able to achieve in their lifetime.

But for Li Yan, it was just a shooting star that “once” shone.

At this time, Li Yan already had the title of "Linjiang's No. 1 Junior High School Student".

It completely exceeded Lin Cheng's expectations of him.

But! Looking at the whole of China, Li Yan is not the most outstanding one.

Of course, questioning the reason for “you are not the best” is also a kind of success.

"All-round" is a plus for ordinary geniuses, but in the circle of top geniuses, it may even be a minus.

If you enter the discussion of the top geniuses because you have reached 90 points in all skills, then all those who have a single skill of over will stand above you.

Li Yan said that this is not difficult. If everyone can break 100, won’t they be able to stand above everyone else?
He just took this step.

Starting from Qingxinao, Li Yan completely released another attribute of his:
"Force the King".

What others think he cannot do, he can do to show you; what others think is unreasonable, he takes for granted.

Chen Fan participated in the competition on a whim, but he made crazy breakthroughs along the way, skipping the junior high school group and heading to the national competition, where his first-place result caused an uproar within the academy.

While everyone was still shocked by the previous record, he immediately came up with an even more astonishing result.

The first place in the international competition went to China, and Klotkovic's single arrow was just one of Li Yan's many arrows.

After winning the title of "No. 1 in the world", Li Yan is no longer a character that can be understood and treated with ordinary people's thinking.

The highest institutions of learning in China all bowed down before him. For a student who had not even graduated from junior high school, it could be said that he had reached the pinnacle.

Even if you ask junior high school students with rich imagination, they may not be able to think of how Li Yan's growth curve can go up.

As a result, the music brought in millions of dollars, the novels brought in tens of millions of wealth, and the smartphone project was suddenly launched. The press conference made a sensation. Then, the self-developed domestic operating system was suddenly developed. Then, the "world-leading" Jiaolong mobile phone made a shining debut, and today it has exceeded 10 billion.

It can be described as "sudden".

If you don't look back, it's fine, but if you do, you'll feel dazed.

Li Yan, he was actually a freshman in high school who enrolled a year early!

When Chen Fan recalled the past, he felt an indescribable bitterness. It was not inferiority or comparison, but just a simple bitter taste in his throat.

His fingers hovered over the keyboard for a long time, but in the end he was unable to type a single word.

The sofa was very comfortable. Chen Fan lay on it, thinking that the resources that Li Yan could leverage now were truly shocking.

Will leveraging more resources become the fuel for Li Yan to move forward?

Will this almost straight upward curve of life continue to be unstoppable?

What’s next?
No one knows, and no one can imagine.

Except Li Yan herself.

He was meditating when he felt the outline of the second level one skill.
