Chapter 342: Butterfly Creates a Hurricane
The spotlight immediately fell on Li Yan. The large-screen mobile phone in his hand, which was made of metal, reflected the light and looked particularly dazzling.

"I've whetted your appetite and given you something to think about. Now it's time to show you our results."

Li Yan put the phone back on the podium - although the official has prepared a projector, this thing is always complained about every year. Who's developer conference needs a projector, something found in primary and secondary school classrooms?

Today is a memorable day for the projector, as it became the focus of everyone's attention and was used to showcase a machine that is much more awesome than itself.

A "mobile phone of the future".

Li Yan was operating her phone while speaking into the fixed microphone:

"I believe you all have many questions, the first of which is the screen. This screen is larger than the current mainstream smartphones. Let me first explain why it has to be larger. Since it is a touch-screen phone, the larger the operating space, the better. The big guys who spoke earlier all have the same view that smartphones are more than just phones.

"As you can see, this is a 'full screen'. There are no physical buttons like the Pineapple phone, nor the menu bar commonly seen in the Robert system. I have used this to achieve a larger operating space. So what should I use to implement the functions of the menu bar and home button?"

Li Yan opened the notepad, then pulled the notepad's border with two fingers diagonally, and directly entered the backstage - that is, the function of Robert's system menu bar.

Then he completed operations such as pulling down the menu bar, pulling up the management bar, and zooming in and out of the software page.

And the seemingly same action of pulling from left to right can not only switch pages, but also open the search bar.

It also shows the effect of directly pulling back and closing apps such as clock and weather.

Everyone was dazzled by the sight. After Li Yan double-clicked the upper left corner of the phone and jumped back to the desktop, he finally answered his own question:

"Gesture operation is more suitable for the operation logic of the mobile phone system and can be synchronized to all software operations."

There was already a young man in the audience who couldn't help but raise his hands high.

Logically speaking, Li Yan shouldn't interrupt his own rhythm at this moment. He should finish his speech before taking the questioning session. However, he felt that this was an opportunity to show off, so he smiled and gestured:
"I'm afraid your hands are sore from lifting them, so please ask me, I just have one question."

"Hello, Li Yan!" It was obvious that this person knew who was on the stage. He should be one of the people who had just started the commotion. "I'm really curious, why did the same operation you just made have two effects? The one for swiping left and right."

"Good question," Li Yan said with a smile, "because these are the two operations. One is to swipe left and right on the 'inside' of the screen, and the other is to swipe from the outside of the screen."

Then he demonstrated it again.

There were exclamations from the audience, and some people had already started applauding. "It's actually not that difficult to realize, but having this idea is really amazing."

"What about accidental touch prevention? It's easy to make such accidental operations, right?"

"I don't think it's easy to have. It's normal to operate on the screen, and the screen of his phone is so big."

Everyone has started discussing the specific operations.

Li Yan demonstrated everything in the PPT again on his mobile phone, directly calling up the background data of the mobile phone to show what the intelligent multi-channel processing mode for different tracks is.

"Now I can answer why we need a modular software processing mode, because the interaction between software shown in the video just now and my on-site demonstration, as well as the operation of leaving a quick-use window on the desktop by the software, only require calling some of the software's functions. We can provide a more convenient experience with fewer resources."

There was a burst of applause from the audience, which eventually gathered into waves and applauded Li Yan one after another.

After the applause died down, Li Yan continued:
"In my opinion, hardware, software and systems should complement each other. The large screen provides sufficient operating space and visual experience; the Hetu system gives users a high degree of freedom in using the software and makes gesture operation possible; the software uses the high degree of freedom of the system to achieve high interactivity... Ultimately, everything is to make people's lives more convenient."

Having said that, Li Yan opened the "takeout" software again.

"Of course, I must admit that this phone is only a semi-finished product. Although I have spent a lot of effort on the smoothness of the system, the UI details of the software, and even the beauty of the metal edging of the phone case..."

Lai Yining couldn't help but frowned, and put his arm around Chen Fan's neck and asked, "When Yan Shen said that it took a lot of effort, did he mean less than a month?"

Chen Fan could only shake his head from the bottom of his heart.

"I do my best within my ability, but there are some things that I really can't do. For example, takeout delivery. In the short video demonstration, takeout delivery needs to be able to realize online payment and have satellite map services. Obviously, I can't do this."

"Of course, whether it's takeout or taxis, the feasibility of these things is naturally not something I can just enjoy with my mouth."

Li Yan could sense everyone's surprise.

He pressed the remote control in his hand again, and what appeared in front of everyone at the scene was a visual data.

"I and the 'Ele.ba' food delivery team at Linjiang University collected a large amount of food delivery data in the context of a university campus and a community, and based on this, we developed a food delivery algorithm."

The screen turned into some light spots moving on a simple map. "I won't go into the specific principles. The map is drawn by us based on the actual situation. It is not accurate enough, but the rationality of the algorithm has been tested with data and real people, and there is a sufficient research foundation. All it needs to really work is an electronic map."

Li Yan glanced at Dong Zhenchang, the CEO of Wei De Map, and took a deep breath.

"It's the same for taxis, and there are also some check-in point location sharing. There are still many things this phone can't do. After all, it's not a commercial product, it's just a concept phone, so I can't even get it to connect to the Internet - of course, this is not a difficult task."

Li Yan took the phone back in her hand and walked to the center of the stage. "I think we can imagine a beautiful future with online payment, map positioning, all software intertwined, and even accounts interconnected and shared. It is not impossible to directly open the era of video sharing with the support of ultra-high compression algorithms."

A loud "Really?" popped up, making everyone laugh.

Li Yan also smiled and turned around to look for the PPT again. "Yes, the algorithm described on this page is something we can already implement. However, we are not deep enough to put it into large-scale use and use it in various software."

The introduction was basically completed, and everyone in the audience was very excited and wanted to ask questions, but because there were too many questions, they were a little confused for a moment.

This is outrageous. This is really too outrageous.

Many people have completely regarded this achievement as Huang Zhan’s secret weapon and the turning point of the founding clan - no, this is a complete blast. Based on the current concept of this mobile phone, it is no exaggeration to say that it is leading the world.

But why did Mr. Huang let a... teenager take the stage to speak? Who were the "we" he was referring to? What did he mean by thanking Mr. Huang for his technical support?
Those who know Li Yan and know who Li Yan is are even more confused.

I know Li Yan is exaggerating, but not in this way. This guy is a junior high school student!
When they saw Li Yan presenting his PPT, they thought that this guy came here today to show off his concepts and PPT production techniques.

The moment he took out his cell phone, everything was different.

It's like thinking you won a million dollars in a dream, and you're happily planning on buying something, but then when you rub your hands, you actually touch the lottery ticket.

Many interested companies have already started thinking about money. While they feel that their current considerations are outrageous, they can't help but wonder what would happen if they could turn Li Yan's project into their own mobile phone.

Some college students have already expressed strange exclamations: "This kind of thing... isn't it something that can only be made abroad? Did he really make it?"

This sigh further proves the necessity of Li Yan's approach of "taking the lead".

Similarly, doubts also arise - "Is it possible that the semi-finished product is actually a model machine used only for display? Maybe this system cannot be installed with any software at all, and those are just a more advanced PPT."

Li Yan would be very happy if she heard it.

The faster the doubts come, the more it shows that his results are shocking.

Some people are so shocked that they have to seize the opportunity to deny it, otherwise they will not be able to eat.

"Are we really that awesome?" He Zixiang asked sincerely, "No matter how I think about it, I feel that...what Li Yan said is not quite the same as what we are researching?"

"He optimized a lot of things... You know, women look completely different before and after putting on makeup," said Deng Yudi. "This is more than just optimization... What's up with his food delivery app? I really thought he had it figured out!" Lai Yining was shocked.

"Let's ask later." Chen Fan kept his eyes on the phone in Li Yan's hand, his heart in turmoil.

“Today I am honored to stand on the podium of the Developer Conference and share this concept machine with you, which is actually a semi-finished product. First of all, I would like to thank Chuangzu Technology and Mr. Huang for their technical support. Otherwise, it would be impossible for us to complete such a huge workload with just a few people.

"I must admit that because time is short and resources are limited, there is still a lot of room for improvement and optimization of the system software and hardware. The realization of many functions also requires more professional partners..."

"Is Yan Shen here to seek investment and cooperation?" Lai Yining looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

"I thought you knew it all along." Deng Yudi sneered mercilessly.

"There should be more than that." He Zixiang thought, "Hasn't Yan Shen already visited many companies before? He can come up with this thing. If he really wants cooperation, he can find official cooperation privately."

"Maybe this way of publicity will be more effective now? He also played a trick of first suppressing and then promoting." Deng Yudi nodded repeatedly.

"But after promoting it, aren't you afraid that other companies will learn from it?" Chen Fan asked a very crucial question.

The young man next to him was a little surprised when he heard the middle school students discussing this. However, when he thought of Li Yan who was still talking on the stage...

That guy is also a middle school student, a junior high school student at that.

"If you put it that way... it's true." Lai Yining frowned. "The most valuable thing about Yan Shen is his concept. It's not hard to say if he has a finished product and can occupy the market share. But if a big company thinks this idea is feasible, it won't be difficult to catch up with our current R&D progress."

"Wait a minute," Deng Yudi looked at Li Yan, who finished his speech and spread his hands to accept the thunderous applause from the audience, "Could it be that... it is precisely to avoid being copied by other companies that Yan Shen chose to be so high-profile?"

Coincidentally, at this moment, Mr. Dong of Wei De Map was also talking about the same topic with Huang Zhan who was sitting in front of him.

"It's quite risky to share such a brilliant idea with a half-finished product. Will you give him a pass?"

"I'm just his partner, Mr. Dong." Huang Zhan smiled, "As for whether it's risky or not, this is Linjiang."

"That being said, judging by his performance today, this news is too much of a gimmick. I'm not exaggerating to say that he's a big hit all over the country, right? Shangjing Science Park will definitely break these things apart and mash them up and swallow them." President Dong always speaks in a rhythmic and expressive way. "This kid said he hopes everyone will cooperate, but I'm afraid everyone wants to swallow him up."

"It's not easy. If you really treat him as a child, you will suffer a great loss."

After the warm applause, the management came to the question and answer discussion time.

It was not until then that a staff member holding a camera finally trotted over to Li Yan and started taking pictures of his handsome face and the silver phone.

Li Yan could vaguely see someone in a white shirt scolding the TV station's leader from the audience, but he didn't know who it was.

Maybe he was scolding me for not being smart enough and missing the close-up of Li Yan's explanation.

They also felt aggrieved. Who knew there would be such a big job today? Usually they would just take some photos and record the whole thing for archiving.

There are too many problems to mention.

Looking around, the audience was filled with sparkling eyes and eager heads.

But the magical thing is that no one raised their hands, as if they all thought that everything Li Yan showed today was worthy of a heavyweight first question.

If not Academician Ni, he must at least be Director Zuo.

Li Yan also hopes so.

As he wished, after listening to a few whispers from Director Zuo, Academician Ni, with a smile on his face, pressed the microphone switch with his slender fingers.

"Young man, it's time to introduce yourself. Your name and the name of this phone."

Academician Ni is a thin man in his seventies, and speaks in a sonorous and clear voice.

"Hello, Academician Ni, my name is Li Yan, I am 15 years old, and I am a junior high school student at New Taipei City's New Taipei First High School."

Wang Peihua felt like every pore of his body had relaxed and the air had become fucking sweet.

If Tan Li heard this, he would open all the bottles of wine in his collection.

In fact, Li Yan had already revealed the truth in the conference room, so Academician Ni’s question should be a kind of affirmation.

Li Yan herself said, "Who I am is not important," but now Academician Ni tells everyone that "Who he is is very important."

"As for this phone, it has no name because it is still a semi-finished product. I hope the finished product of the 'Jiaolong Phone' that I have been looking forward to can be presented soon."

"Jiaolong, good." Academician Ni's comment was brief.

In fact, the name "Jiaolong" was also something Li Yan thought of on the spur of the moment. Now, no matter whether the phone is called "Jiaolong", "Phoenix", "Qilin"... or even "Dingzi", the evaluation will be just one word: "good".

When something is good, every name of it will have a special representative meaning. The rustic ones are called friendly, and the pretentious ones are called advanced.

"I have a few questions for you," Academician Ni said with a smile.

The scene fell silent. Everyone wanted to hear what tricky technical questions the academician-level bigwigs would ask, and how Li Yan, a junior high school student, would respond.

"Who are you standing here representing today?"

An unexpected question.

But Li Yan answered naturally, "On behalf of myself. And all the collaborators who have worked hard on this phone."

Some eyes were cast towards Huang Zhan.

However, Huang Zhan just looked at the two people talking seriously with a blank expression on his face.

"Why did you make this phone?"

The unexpected second question.

Li Yan didn't answer immediately this time. Many people in the audience already had the answer in their minds: "For profit."

Making mobile phones is not for profit? Doing business is not for profit?

We are all adults now, there is no point in saying this to deceive ourselves...

No, Li Yan is not an adult, but a talented young man full of vigor and vitality.

"To be a leader, to change the world."
