Chapter 338: No one can help you except yourself

This is not a sure win situation.

Li Yan was also gambling.

However, the two ends of the scale are not balanced. Even if he is the number one junior high school student in China, he is still a junior high school student at best.

People might still be willing to believe that they have come up with some amazing research that can shake up a certain industry...

Then it can only be "worthy of encouragement".

Therefore, there should be no such thing as "failure" for Li Yan in this matter. As long as he can stand on the podium of the press conference, he will be considered a winner.

People in the industry are very tolerant of him, while those outside the industry think he is "courageous."

Even those who want to discredit him only attack him by accusing him of "hype and show".

From this we can see that even those who stand against Li Yan do not think in terms of "Li Yan's ability to succeed".

If no one thinks you will succeed, there is no such thing as failure.

Li Yan couldn't tell how much confidence Huang Zhan had in him.

So in the end he had to carry some things alone.

The visit to Beijing was not smooth. Except for Wei De Map, which showed enough sincerity, other mobile phone manufacturers were somewhat perfunctory.

Come to think of it, Huang Zhan, as the current industry leader, is currently behind bars, which is a good opportunity to defeat him.

He himself is researching the win system, while other manufacturers are basically following the Robert system track. It would be hard to tell what useful information you can get from exchanging experiences at this time of transition.

Huang Zhan was a little worried about Li Yan's mood.

"As expected, the references I need are mainly technical stuff, which people use to make a living, so it's impossible for them to share. But since I'm here, I'll ask and see if I can gain anything."

On the plane back, Li Yan finally asked the flight attendant for a cup of coffee. He didn't really like it, but he always felt that a cup of coffee was a good choice at this time.

It feels like a business elite.

Damn, some of the propaganda influence of capital is really deep-rooted...

"Did you gain anything?" Huang Zhan, who had been drinking coffee, ordered a glass of orange juice.

"No." Li Yan shook her head, feeling the sourness of coffee in her mouth, and drank half a bottle of mineral water. "Our ideas are ahead of the times. The Robert system itself is still in its early stages, and its maturity and usability may not be as good as your Windows phone."

"Not as good as mine..." Huang Zhan smiled bitterly, "So you mainly want to meet Wei De's president?"

"Of course I want to know more about chips, but that thing..." Li Yan sighed and said nothing more.

There was a thought in my mind: "Let's wait until my skills break through 70 points. By then, I should be able to fight."

"Don't be too ambitious. Just lay a solid foundation for some hardware and go through the procurement process."

"Well, if it doesn't work, that's a matter for the future."

The plane landed, and there was only one month left until the Linjiang Province Science and Technology Innovation Developers Conference on June 5th.

As soon as Li Yan returned to the research room in the Chuangzu Building, he saw several people arguing fiercely.

Among the five members of the "Hetu System", except for Li Yan who looks healthy, lively, sunny and handsome, the other four are a little too thin. Chen Fan looks a little undergrown, but the other three prospective college students wearing glasses are rather embarrassing.

Lai Yining is thin, He Zixiang is short and thin, Deng Yudi is short, thin and... It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

"I really think this is the end of it. Didn't Yan Shen say that it was just something for display?" Lai Yining's dark circles became even darker, and he looked inexplicably resentful.

"It does meet the operational requirements of 'high degree of freedom'... but it's too crude. Yan Shen will eventually be showcased at the developer conference, and you're just selling fast food without cutting it into pieces." Deng Yudi frowned.

"These are all concept machines, not official versions. Is it the time to worry about whether it's rough or not? I think it's better to focus on in-depth research instead. We can't just use this system for display, right?" Lai Yining pushed his glasses and spoke with a mysterious ruffian vibe.

"In-depth research is not something that can be accomplished by just a few of us. I think we should at least continue to optimize the feedback of system operations."

Deng Yudi is more practical and can easily get into a fight with the relatively willful and romantic Lai Yining. The BUG fairy and the testing fairy are natural opposites.

But in the end, they always appreciate each other as heroes, which is very interesting.

"Are you still planning to work on UI? I don't understand this stuff. Let me turn your words back to you. This is not something that can be done by just a few of us."

"The key to the problem is not these. I don't know what to do now. The app is also fake and does not actually call on system resources..." He Zixiang brought the topic back to the topic, "Chen Fan, what do you think?"

"Let's wait for Li Yan to come back, although we have been waiting for a day and a half." Chen Fan shrugged.

"Thank you all for your hard work." Li Yan's voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

"Damn, here comes Yan Shen." Lai Yining came forward and opened his mouth to repeat the topic he had just argued with Deng Yudi.

"I heard everything just now." Li Yan raised his hand to interrupt the spell, and then picked up a bag of milk tea fried chicken with his other hand, "Brothers, take a break first, and chat while eating."

"I just like making friends with rich people like Yan Shen." Lai Yining began to share the food actively.

"You are the bully in Jiangnan Province, why are you talking nonsense?" Deng Yudi rolled his eyes at him.

"Don't talk nonsense... Jiangnan Province's wealth has no necessary connection with my family's wealth, and even if my family is wealthy, it has no necessary connection with my personal wealth."

"In terms of family, everyone is definitely not poor." He Zixiang concluded.

Li Yan was helpless. To describe your families as “not poor” is too cautious and conservative.

You see, Chen Fan is very self-aware and doesn't talk about these empty things.

"But in terms of the money available, I can't compare to Li Yan at all." Chen Fan said.

Never mind, it’s still nice to be praised for being rich, especially when you earned the money yourself.

In an instant, the whole laboratory was filled with the aroma of fried chicken, which attracted the data clerks passing by the door to take a look, so Li Yan also gave them a box of fried chicken nuggets.

"Regarding the question you just discussed and the question you asked me in the group a few days ago, I can give a unified conclusion: great." Li Yan raised her milk tea, "Cheers to our achievements."

Everyone cheered.

"It is very difficult to make a system. We have achieved this level so we must be confident in ourselves." Li Yan continued, "Although we rely on the foundation and conditions of Chuangzu, we are not using the Win system after all. Instead, we use the L system as the core and create our own interaction method and operation logic on the basic framework provided by Chuangzu. This is already very impressive."

Everyone felt a little embarrassed by the praise, especially Chen Fan, who was mainly responsible for collecting and sorting data.

"Of course, it is undeniable that the current 'Hetu' is still a long way from being a commercially available system. So we must master the core technology in our own hands. If there is any profit in the future, I will distribute 20% to each person."

Even though we are just students, we feel a little uncomfortable when we hear this.

The credit will be shared among the team members. As the conceptual proposer and project leader of the Hetu system, Li Yan has been in charge of the project from beginning to end. Even if they are treated as employees, they have nothing to say.

Not to mention he solved the largest number of puzzles.

Even at the beginning, they just treated this project as a research topic.

"I have kept this team to just five people, not because I can't recruit new people, but because I hope that the Hetu system will one day become world-famous and belong to the five of us."

Sincerity is sometimes not worth mentioning, and often has little weight in business. But perhaps among this group of peers who appreciate each other, among these five young people who are moving forward with the same goal, there is still room for "sincerity" to be used.

Everyone felt a little confused, a little excited, and a little expectant.

Chen Fan felt even more frightened.

He secretly resolved to give more.

"Li Yan," He Zixiang said seriously, "I have seen many companies that were born from the joint efforts of a team of college students in a dormitory. Four or five people worked hard for their dreams and founded a big company... Everyone had different perceptions and abilities. When the company was big enough and the technical requirements exceeded the capabilities of the 'founding team', the ending was not good."

It's just that he looks a bit out of place with fried chicken in one hand and milk tea in the other.

"That's not the case. Some people are suitable for managing companies, some are only suitable for research projects, and some people want to just lie down and do nothing when they get older and make money. That's not the same thing." Lai Yining shook his head. "But God Yan, we haven't even started yet, so let's not talk about that for now."

"As long as everyone maintains the same original intention as today," Li Yan said seriously, "I promise that the Hetu system will only belong to the five of us."

At this time, no one knew the weight of "Li Yan's promise".

I was just curious about why Li Yan was so willing to give up the profit.

"Even if you want 50%, we won't say anything," Deng Yudi said. "Even if you treat it as a job for us, give us some money, and then replace it with someone more capable, we won't say anything."

"I'm not just doing this for the money." Li Yan said, "There are some things that are more willful, and I need friends to play with me."

I don’t know what happened, but in the eyes of the four of them, the milk tea in Li Yan’s hand turned into a red wine glass.

"Of course, you don't have to worry about making concessions. If this little bit of profit can get everyone's full support, it's worth it."

And, I don’t just make money from this.

When "profit" is still a goal, a loyal team and reliable friends are much more important than the profits earned.

"So our system is finished? I heard that you have been communicating with the product department of Chuangzu to make a 'full-screen' mobile phone. How is it going now?" Lai Yining's eyes were shining.

"That's what I want to say. I want everything you discussed with Yu Di."

"what?"

"You can continue to study the system, continue to improve the underlying functions, and strive to master the core technology in your own hands. The huge amount of code can be put aside for the time being. What's important is the idea."

Deng Yudi frowned, "Who will optimize the display?"

"I."

Everyone was stunned. Why did they talk for so long and end up showing off?

"Don't you need our help?"

"No need. After all, the final presentation is my responsibility. Currently, I am the only one who knows the progress of everything, and I am the only one who knows what the final result is. The process of explaining it to everyone is too laborious, and I may have to make further changes in the end." Li Yan shook her head, "I might as well do it myself."

"You..." He Zixiang was about to ask "Can you handle it?" but he held back.

Again, all those who stand on Li Yan's side have already regarded him as the chosen one, and think that even if Li Yan's strength is not enough, he will have great luck to help him solve the "impossible task".

About a week later, He Zixiang and Lai Yining returned to Shangjing and Jiangnan Province. After all, the foundation of the system had been laid, and they really couldn't help Li Yan with the subsequent detailed optimization. Things like "ideas" could be thought about slowly at home. Naturally, they went home to enjoy the vacation and experience the high school life that was about to end.

In fact, for Chen Fan and even Huang Zhan, the importance of this project is not high.

Although Huang Zhan gave great support, he could not be considered to be betting on it.

An idealist is always willful, and he is also a businessman.

The one who really treated this matter as a top priority was actually Li Yan alone from beginning to end.

At this stage, he has to bear all the pressure by himself.

He never thought that other people would work so hard for the things he led. For example, the "full-screen prototype" of the Chuangzu product department was really a big success at the beginning under the urging of Huang Zhan and his own curiosity.

The rest is basically the completion of the task.

With Li Yan's high level of involvement, the product finally provided can only be described as "having everything it should have."

The product department really had too many ideas about the full screen, and they always told Li Yan that "this won't work". No matter how many times Li Yan explained, he just used it for display.

The thickness did not meet Li Yan's expectations, and the camera was installed very abruptly. It was obviously a full screen, but there was still a finger-wide black border at the bottom.

The texture and details of the appearance are a mess.

Li Yan still has a lot to do, and time is running out.

After turning on the phone, there are indeed some basic system software, plus a few demonstration software installed by Li Yan himself.

Their connection with the River Chart system itself can only be described as each going their own way.

Taking "Clock" as an example, Li Yan hopes to click on a set alarm in the clock software. By long pressing and pulling to the edge of the screen, he can directly drag the reminder to the desktop, and can directly interact with "Notepad", "Weather", etc.

Pull to the notepad to record the things you need to do at a certain time, and pull to the weather to directly remind you what the weather will be like when the alarm rings.

All software can do this.

Then for users, they will have extremely high freedom within a certain range and the pleasure of personalized customization.

However, the operation is currently extremely unsmooth and very prone to errors.

Li Yan could only serve a semi-finished product, but she would never allow herself to serve an ugly semi-finished product...

His essence was to bluff everyone first, then let everyone feel the feasibility of his idea, and thus get more technical support.

Therefore, the concept car must give people a futuristic feel in all aspects.

From the appearance to the operation to the specific content, everything must be amazing.

Li Yan stayed directly in Chuangzu's research room, staring at the computer and prototype every day, constantly debugging them.

He surprised every clerk who came to deliver water or documents with his exaggerated hand speed.

He also posted a sign on the door saying "Knock if you need anything", which gave off an air of keeping people away.

The employees of Chuangzu Company jokingly said that Li Yan’s aura was more like that of a CEO than that of their boss Huang Zhan.

Time passed day by day. Li Yan slept less than four hours a day and managed to hold on with her energy level at 60%.

There is no limit to the optimization work.

Behind every small improvement there may be countless amounts of work.

It's very easy to get stuck in a dead end. Sometimes you suddenly want to pursue a little more smoothness, and you end up reporting the whole thing as an error.

May 5th was the eighth day of Li Yan’s retreat and research.

After he tried the eighth solution and finally succeeded in realizing the "functional link" between different software, he was about to relax when he heard a long-lost voice:
Ding!
His first reaction was:
There shouldn't be a fucking microwave in this room!
