Chapter 485 The Quiet Winner

"Otherwise, Mr. Li can accomplish things."

On September 9, as the National Day was approaching, Bai Shuyun, who had slept until two in the afternoon and felt groggy, forced himself to take a taxi to work.

Then I found that the whole company was immersed in a confused atmosphere.

He suddenly became interested in seeing what Mr. Li was doing. As a result, he knocked on the office door and found Li Yan reading a book with a lot of calculation draft papers around him.

So he expressed the above sentiment.

"What's wrong Shuyun?"

"Uh... can I just say I wanted to check on you?"

"Of course." Li Yan smiled. "There's no Do Not Disturb sign on my door. If you have something to say, you can talk. If not, we can chat."

"..." Bai Shuyun sobered up and found it difficult to say some flattering words.

"You seem confused. I didn't drink. Everything is normal today. It's easy to understand."

"I am impressed that after celebrating your success the day before, you didn't give yourself time to rest and immediately plunged into studying." Bai Shuyun even felt a little ashamed.

"Rest?" Li Yan smiled and frowned, "I'm resting now."

Bai Shuyun took a few steps forward, wanting to see what book Li Yan was reading.

"Report on the Global Protein Structure Prediction Competition (Volume 1)".

You call this a rest?

Bai Shuyun quickly took a few steps back.

"Mr. Li, you are amazing."

"I'm not pretending." Li Yan responded while flipping through the book quickly. "Now that my career is successful, I don't have to worry about money. I will control the main direction and leave the actual work to you. This way I can free up time to do my own things."

Bai Shuyun didn't know what to reply, so he could only nod.

"I recruited so many talented people not just for me to do everything myself. With more money, some things become easier. Have you ever played Monopoly?"

"Huh? Hmm."

"If you have three or five times the starting capital of others, as long as you know the rules of the game and have the skills, you can play. No matter how smart the other three players are, they will be crushed by your land-harvesting strategy. We have already seen this trend in the smartphone field."

What does this have to do with your claim that you can take a break from reading advanced scientific research reports?

Bai Shuyun could only nod.

"In other words, the promotion of the mobile phone business in China is already in a state where anyone can handle it. If we don't make mistakes, we can keep winning. I will set the right direction. If we go astray, you'd better give me a sufficient reason. There are three things to consider for future technology. The first is to go global. This cannot rely solely on our own capabilities and resources. We must wait for attitude and opportunities. The second is to prevent technological sanctions. Lithography machines are a difficult problem that must be solved. This depends on me, but I still need to learn. The third is to expand the scope of business. Artificial intelligence, drones, assembly lines... These tasks are still in the early stages of exploration. It's not my time to contribute."

"what……"

"So, Shuyun. I can finally let go of the mentality of trying to do everything at once. I don't have to be a boatman but a captain. The ship of future technology has reached a time when its own power is enough to propel it forward. The next iceberg and the next wave are yet to come. I have some time to relax and choose to study what I want to see instead of what I need to see."

A...grab everything? Bai Shuyun thought of Li Yan's previous disappearances and running off to class, and it was really hard to connect this state with the description of "grasping everything at once".

"This state is very comfortable. If not rest, what is it?"

So you were waiting for me here.

After all this time, it turns out that our levels of understanding are not the same.

That's normal. If Bai Shuyun could understand what Li Yan understands... he would also be the "land immortal" in Sun Miao's words.

Bai Shuyun sighed in his heart and prepared to leave.

"Are you really just here to take a look? Don't you have anything to talk about?"

"Ah... No, really not."

Li Yan was speechless for a moment, thinking that his previous call was in vain and the people under him were too obedient.

Having said that, you should at least express your stance, reach a higher level, and show your ambition!

Or maybe they were put too much pressure on them, and they had no awareness at all that they were senior management.

Contrary to what most people think, Future Technology is just a small stop among Li Yan’s countless future achievements.

If you have two plug-ins for the rebirth system, and the highest achievement is future technology, then you have ruined your account.

Sooner or later, future technology will become a relatively insignificant one among his countless miracles.

I never expected that Mr. Li, who is only 16 years old, has already started thinking about his successor.

The "rest" he told Bai Shuyun was actually not that complicated.

It means literally.

With the support of the system, Li Yan has a rather special learning curve.

There is an upper limit to the areas you can delve into, and when you have reached the top, you need to figure out how to use various mechanisms to break through.

The bug skill "Learning Speed" still needs to be overclocked to increase its level.

Everyone is very tired.

Although Li Yan is quite interested in and motivated to break through limits, the rope will become stiff if it is kept stretched for too long.

So he likes to learn something new.

Now learning new skills, or improving some skills with low scores, is ridiculously fast.

The happiest time in a leveling game is the early stage when you can level up as quickly as drinking water.

Once you get addicted, you can play all night long.

The key is that there is no pressure or difficulty. Take language as an example. It is still difficult for Li Yan to master a minor language to the point where she can write a paper. But it is not difficult for Li Yan to learn to read books in that language without any obstacles and to communicate smoothly with local people.

There are so many related bonus skills that it is no problem to devour a dictionary in an afternoon.

The time invested is not much, but it can enable him to become a language master who is proficient in N languages.

Moreover, by understanding so many languages ​​and accumulating so many vocabularies, it will be very easy to find commonalities and compare differences. It can also enhance his understanding of the concept of "language" itself, and then understand the essence of communication and even the essence of information transmission.

It doesn't require any brainpower, effort, or even time, and it makes you feel happy.

This is certainly a break.

A rest that can achieve both superficial pretense and actual improvement.

Li Yan's task is to tackle content that exceeds one's current ability and read with the purpose of solving impossible challenges.

And flipping through books with lower numerical levels, with the sole purpose of improving them, is Li Yan’s game.

In the eyes of others, this guy is obsessed with the information of Huazhong University of Science and Technology every day, and he studies it with blood and sweat.

But in Li Yan's own experience, he was just a child who did his homework and read comics.

It feels so good.

Li Yan felt peaceful after the celebration banquet, but Hou Xiaofeng's doubts grew day by day.

"In September, I hardly showed up in public." There were always women by his side, and he was talking to a short-haired woman who was curled up in the quilt playing with her mobile phone.

"Indeed not."

"Why? With his personality, how could he miss such a high-profile opportunity?" Hou Xiaofeng shook the wine glass in his hand, "It's not that he doesn't value publicity."

“Maybe Li Yan has become more low-key?”

"You know nothing." Hou Xiaofeng laughed, "With such a great achievement, even if he doesn't want to promote it, there will definitely be a lot of people who will help him promote it, but we can't see it."

The woman stopped talking.

“I can’t see the milestones, I can’t see the results, I can’t see the people.” Hou Xiaofeng took a deep breath, “The moment you truly become a winner, you don’t need to make a sound.”

"So?" the woman asked.

"Shut up." Hou Xiaofeng frowned again, "The authorities must have given him protection."

"What should we do then? Don't you still need to collect interest from him?"

“Hahahaha!” Hou Xiaofeng laughed loudly. “He thought that he could rest easy in this way? Hiding and relying on Linjiang to protect him? How naive!”

After laughing, Hou Xiaofeng drank the wine in the glass, turned around and asked:
"You are using his Jiaolong phone. How does it feel?"

"very good."

Several leaders in Linjiang were also troubled by Li Yan's plan to "go global."

"We can't not give support, but we can't give too much either." Secretary Huang of Linjiang said, "This is a troublesome matter."

“Is this a step too big?”

"I think it's a bit too big. The domestic market is not stable enough. It's a bit hasty to expand overseas now."

Secretary Huang snorted, "We won't judge whether it's urgent or not. What Li Yan did was unconventional. If we really hindered him and ruined his good opportunity or luck, and he was blamed, it could be a big deal."

"You mean, go find out why Li Yan wants to go international?"

"It's not about inquiring, it's about communicating." Secretary Huang said in a deep voice, "Show enough sincerity, and we can have a clear conscience. Be honest when dealing with him. If you have any difficulties or concerns, just speak up."

"You haven't communicated with him, but you have a keen eye and every word is..."

"Stop flattering me," Secretary Huang scolded with a smile, "If you want to flatter me, do it at another time. I feel comfortable listening to it. But when you are in the same context with Li Yan, don't praise others so easily."

"You're right."

"But Secretary, after all...what exactly does Li Yan want us to help him with in going global? This has to be at the national level, right? If it's just to help him with some filing procedures, and not to hold him back at our level, isn't that what we agreed on in the first place?"

"You have a passive mindset. You only do things when people ask you to? You can't take the initiative?"

"But as you said, we can't be too supportive. We are proactive, so..."

"That's the difficulty!" Secretary Huang clapped his hands, "Ambiguous, do you understand what ambiguity is?"

"We proactively ask for what he wants, and we strive to get what he wants. If we get it, we give it to him. If we can't get it, we ask our superiors for it. Whether our superiors give it to us or not is not our business."

"It seems that Lao Li has thought about it?"

"After all, we are in New Taipei City, so we have to consider it."

"Well, let's do this. Let Yuming go find Li Yan and tell him..." Secretary Huang suddenly paused and pondered for a long time, "Forget it, Lao Li, you go by yourself. Take the initiative to ask him about his needs. You said you don't represent Xinbei, but Linjiang. Once you ask about his needs, we can hold a coordination meeting for him at any time and ask him to come to us."

"Ok."

On the eve of National Day, New Taipei City Secretary Li finally brought a team to a symposium on future technology, with the theme being just two words: "demand."

In the first half of the official content, Li Yan praised New Taipei City Business in a nonchalant manner, which made Ren Jiangfeng smile.

It was during a small internal meeting in the second half that Secretary Li extended a real olive branch.

Li Yan's answer left them confused:
"Wait a little longer. It's too much trouble to tell you now. I can do some things myself. Wait a few days and you will know."

Know? Know what?

Li Yan looked at the puzzled eyes of the people in white shirts and smiled:
“Know what to do.”
