Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 488: Backed by the Country
Huang Zhan’s statement once again sparked a wave of public opinion.

Everyone basically understood that this was not a decision made by Huang Zhan alone.

Although the statement was signed by Chuangzu Technology, the entity involved is Jiaolong Mobile Phone.

Who would believe me if I said I didn’t get Li Yan’s nod?

"Li Yan is so interesting," said Secretary Huang, whose hair was dyed black. He didn't look like a man in his sixties at all, and his figure was still in shape. "It's because we weren't sharp enough and didn't catch this treasure early on. Now that the country has paid attention to it, we are late to realize it, which makes us look arrogant."

"I'm not being pretentious. I'm really a good mentor." Shi Lei said with a smile, then shook his head, "I shouldn't think of myself as a mentor. I don't deserve it."

"Shiyuan, I thought the professionals would have a different opinion."

"Isn't it normal that professionals can see where Li Yan is good?" Shi Lei asked, "I'm more curious about your thoughts. Why do you take it so seriously?"

"Imperial Professor Shi is pointing out that we are not professional enough."

"Old Huang, we specially organized such a private meeting this afternoon. You are not here to chat about official matters, right?"

Secretary Huang drank a cup of tea and said, "Is it not enough to tease you a little?"

"It's rare that you have the leisure to tease me, so go ahead and tease me."

Secretary Huang was helpless, thinking that people who work in technology are just not fun to play with. This Dean Shi was indeed as the legend said: he had a rather peculiar personality.

"We value Li Yan mainly because we think he has special luck."

This answer made Shi Lei's eyes widen.

What? He thought it was supposed to be a word like "potential", but it suddenly went in the direction of metaphysics.

"Why don't I just say I don't understand, and you guys too..."

"What it means."

Shi Lei shut up.

The two of them suddenly fell silent. After drinking about three rounds of tea, Shi Lei finally spoke again:

"I can understand that too."

"Just relying on 'potential' and 'ability' alone is not enough to attract the attention of the higher-ups."

"It's really a great luck to be seen."

"The word is not luck, it's destiny."

Shi Lei squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

"We look at him from different perspectives and different entry points. Tell me about it."

"Take this phone for example. It was released before the Pineapple Phone 4, preparing to enter the international market, and it also had the opportunity to observe the release of a new model by the Pineapple Phone. The timing was perfect." Secretary Huang said, "If it was just a coincidence, then it was luck as you said. Do you understand the actual situation?"

"Did Li Yan need to rush the work at the beginning?"

"He shouldn't have been under any pressure at the time."

"Hiss..." Shi Lei's brows were already tightly furrowed, "What about now?"

"He clearly said that he was waiting for the right time." Secretary Huang sighed, "This is information that even we don't have."

"Before entering the international market, we can build momentum through public opinion and see the feedback before deciding whether to enter the market. We can handle both offense and defense at the same time." Shi Lei nodded, "It's really not easy."

Who knew that Secretary Huang would keep shaking his fingers.

"You still think he is simple."

"how do I say this?"

"He gave us the opportunity to observe, which is for himself and for us. He wants to enter the international market and needs our help. This matter is very complicated, and we have our concerns." Secretary Huang tapped his fingers on the table. "Now he has put his influence on the table and has the upper hand in a head-on confrontation with Pineapple Company. Tell me, can we not help?"

"Isn't the Pineapple Phone officially released yet?"

"But you can hear some voices," said Secretary Huang. "Let's not talk about the domestic situation. There are a lot of voices abroad that are looking forward to Li Yan selling the Jiaolong phone. Many mainstream media in the West are paying close attention to it."

"Wow, has it come to this?"

"Foreign countries prefer geniuses like Li Yan who suddenly emerged out of nowhere, and their personal charm is extremely high."

"I think the price of 2000 RMB has a significant impact." Shi Lei rubbed his palms, "Old Huang, if you are sitting here and heard the sound, then doesn't that mean..."

"That's what happened. The Tang army is here."

"Tang Ming from the Ministry of Commerce?"

"Yes." Secretary Huang nodded. "Do you think I just want to talk to you? Let's meet the distinguished guest at the Xinbei Hotel tonight."

"Hey, just chat with the two of you. It's none of my business."

"The distinguished guest I'm talking about isn't Old Tang, it's Li Yan."

Shi Lei's expression suddenly became unnatural. He felt that the official system he was familiar with was suddenly a little confusing at this moment.

What's going on with this kid Li Yan?
Suddenly, you are eating at the same table with Huang Tang?

Also called a "distinguished guest"?
Isn't this progress a bit too fast...

"That seems to be none of my business, right? Old Tang came here to talk to you in person about going global, right? This thing... is the policy guide for potential unicorns, right?"

"He specifically asked for you to come. This is a condition for his attendance at the meeting tonight."

"Oh my god!" Shi Lei couldn't help laughing, "Is this kid crazy? He's still negotiating terms!"

"If you don't hold the baby and run to other places, you will lose points."

Obviously, as a person in a high position, the "other places" Secretary Huang mentioned would not be as narrow as "other provinces", but refers to going abroad.

It seems that the concern about losing talent like Li Yan is quite high.

"As for it?"

"Shiyuan, we value his potential now for two reasons. If Li Yan continues to grow along his current trajectory, he is likely to become a key figure in changing history and the fate of the country. If we keep him in our hands, it won't be considered our achievement, but if he grows into a towering tree somewhere else, it will be our fault."

"Then I have no choice but to sit in on the class tonight."

The New Taipei Hotel has a long history and was once "the best in the world". With the changes of the times, its originally exaggerated size has gradually become reasonable, but because of its "facade" function, it has been well maintained and repaired frequently, and it still looks magnificent today.

Its historical heritage adds a lot of points, making the New Taipei Hotel look more stable and low-key than other up-and-coming companies, and it has secured its position as the leader in the catering industry.

Many times people come to eat not for the taste but for the status.

Xinbei Hotel also has an affordable hall, which is always busy and surrounded by negative reviews.

Many customers who came here and spent a little more money than other restaurants but did not get the top-notch taste they imagined could not help but complain about their "great disappointment" online.

But old New Taipei people know that if you want high-quality ingredients and stable products, this is the place.

If you can go to the large private room on the top floor, you can have the added bonus of having a top chef prepare the meal on top of the above.

"It's not difficult to make a stunning meal. It's harder than climbing to the sky if it tastes the same to everyone and never makes mistakes." Shi Lei said with a smile, "This place is great. I rarely come here."

"I've come to New Taipei City before and have eaten at the New Taipei City Hotel, but it was mostly for work. This is my first time sitting in this private room."

"Then it's all thanks to Li Yan?" Secretary Huang smiled, "Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't be willing to spend this money." "Hahahaha." The three leaders laughed.

There seemed to be some kind of strange tacit understanding that Li Yan couldn't understand.

On his right is Secretary Huang Guohui of Linjiang, on his left is Tang Ming from the Ministry of Commerce, and to the right of Secretary Huang is Shi Lei.

There were only four people sitting at the huge round table that could accommodate more than twenty people.

Huang Guohui, Tang Ming, Shi Lei...

These are names that I never even dared to think of knowing before.

But now...how much time does he need to make these names have less chance to appear again?

Think about it, Wang Peihua was also a well-known figure back then.

I was thinking about some crazy things in my mind, but I heard some special words in my ears:

"Guohui, the last time I came to Linjiang, I went to Qinghualou. I heard that Master Sun Maosheng was very good and wanted to try his skills, but unfortunately I didn't meet him."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll help you arrange it."

"No need for that. I went there by myself. I didn't do my homework well beforehand."

"What a coincidence! Among the three chefs hosting today's event, there is Sun Maosheng."

The three of them laughed in tacit understanding again.

When Sun Maosheng brought the dishes to the table, he saw Secretary Huang standing up to take the dishes, and Li Yan sitting next to him and smiling, and his computer instantly went offline.

"Hello, Master. I wonder you can come to Xinbei Hotel to cook?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

"You even learned cooking from a master?" Shi Lei was surprised.

"It's just a matter of convenience." Li Yan said with a smile, "Master, I have to see if you, Grandpa Zheng, and Uncle Liu have any hidden tricks later."

"They are all masters?" Shi Lei was even more surprised.

"Not really, not really." Sun Maosheng waved his hand and smiled, "We don't dare to call ourselves his masters in terms of cooking skills. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is a master of many cooking styles. We are just learning from each other and exchanging ideas."

I don’t know how much of Chef Sun’s words were a temporary flattery because of Li Yan’s superior status.

But a cooking skill of 70 points, just in terms of the understanding of food, should already be at the level of a master chef.

Combined with Li Yan's exaggerated basic values, delicate knife skills and precise cooking temperature are just basic skills.

He could accurately grab three grams of salt from the seasoning box with his index finger and thumb.

Sun Maosheng was amazed when he saw it at the time, and kept emphasizing that Li Yan’s cooking was "extremely entertaining to watch."

Originally, the three leaders were planning to chat about food while eating, occasionally inserting a few words to talk about the main topic and get more information from Li Yan.

Seeing that he was a professional, he gave up. Anyway, the topic was brought to Li Yan. After a few more dishes were served, Huang Guohui started talking while picking up his chopsticks and got straight to the point:
"Li Yan, I asked Tang Bu to come here today because I want to talk to you about the internationalization of Jiaolong mobile phones."

"Is the official ready to support it?" Li Yan was also very direct.

"Tang Bu has come all the way from Shangjing, let him speak."

Tang Ming is a middle-aged man with a very square and upright face, wearing thin round-framed glasses that do not quite match his appearance and temperament.

"Li Yan, I'm not here to represent myself." Tang Ming adjusted his glasses and said in a steady voice, "Let me first tell you that the country is very positive about the current achievements of Future Science and Technology and attaches great importance to it. We also strongly support your desire to enter the international market."

"Thank you." Li Yan nodded.

"Every level will be relaxed and simplified to achieve the highest efficiency."

Li Yan nodded again.

"In terms of resources, Linjiang will be the leading force in the future, with the China International Import and Export Fair as the first main promotion platform. The three major expositions will be launched together to vigorously promote your products."

Huang Guohui added: "Build a platform to let the world see the Jiaolong phone."

In fact, the sincerity has been given enough.

When it comes to going abroad, Li Yan only needs to arrange her own resources, and someone else will take care of the rest.

So Tang Ming smiled and asked Li Yan: "Do you have any other needs? You can ask for it."

"If I want to go to a technology conference in the United States and show them..."

Before Li Yan finished speaking, she saw the expressions of the three leaders all changed.

People at their level are the ones who never show their emotions on their faces. The reason why they all frowned and twitched their eyes was that Li Yan's words were too touching.

"Why... do you have such an idea?" Tang Ming asked.

"There is no other way. I can't get the lithography machine in China. I want to go abroad to see if I can learn something."

Grass!
Shi Lei yelled in his heart, you little bastard, why the hell are you waiting for me here?
These words left Tang Ming confused, and it was only after Shi Lei's helpless explanation that he suddenly understood.

"We'll do it, no problem." Tang Ming promised, "Stone Institute, we'll organize a visit in the name of scientific exchange, and I'll go and communicate with Huaxin International."

"No need to wait for Huaxin International, I can pay for it." Li Yan said, "Just don't let them know that it's me who wants it."

"You are really impatient for this thing." Shi Lei shook his head.

"Shiyuan, it will be too late if the Jiaolong mobile phone becomes popular overseas. It's too late now. Time is running out!"

Shi Lei suddenly remembered what Secretary Huang had told him about Li Yan's "luck", and for a moment he was a little dazed.

He just felt that Li Yan's words had a magical power that should not be disobeyed. Those who obey will prosper, while those who disobey will perish.

"I'll get you one, I'll get you one!"

Finally made up my mind.

If these three work together, there should be no problem.

"Then you said about going to America..." Secretary Huang asked tentatively.

"I'm just kidding." Li Yan smiled casually, "It's just a prelude to buy a photolithography machine. With the promise of the leaders, I feel relieved."

"With your intelligence, you should know what we are worried about." Tang Ming spoke directly.

"I know, so I'll make a promise to you all," Li Yan said. "I've worked so hard to get a lithography machine so that I can build one for ourselves and break the technology monopoly, instead of relying on other people's technical support to make money. I think this alone is enough to illustrate my position."

"I understand." Tang Ming said.

"Do you trust what I say?"

"We must believe what people like you say." Tang Ming raised his teacup.

"Then I will also make a promise to you all," Li Yan also raised his teacup...

“I love to pretend, and I love this land.”
