Chapter 347 Return to New Life

When asked by her roommates, "What did you do today?", Li Yan hesitated for a long time.

After much thought, he decided to give everyone the right to choose:
"Do you really want me to tell you?"

"Of course." Lin Heng replied with a smile.

"Warning: The answers may cause you to doubt your life, feel dazed, or experience other discomfort. Please confirm again whether you want to listen."

"What the hell? What's going on?" Zhu Qinglun, who was washing clothes inside, ran out.

"I went to the city to attend a meeting chaired by the deputy mayor to discuss some policy preferences and financial subsidies. In short, I went to ask for money."

"That's it?" Everyone frowned.

Li Yan understood that, after all, he was a teenager and was not sensitive to many things, such as official positions.

Everyone basically only knows the ones who appear on the News Broadcast, and the others... are not as famous as the local wealthy people.

Not even as good as the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

Li Yan has also experienced such a time, and he expressed his understanding.

"Then a company gave me an investment and I got 33.33 million."

"hiss……"

I'm afraid the dormitory is going to explode.

But a few people gasped, looked at each other to express their shock, and that was it.

"and then?"

"What...what and then?" Li Yan was shocked. Did I fail in pretending to be cool?

"After taking these 30 million, what next?" Li Ruofei asked naturally.

Li Yan was speechless. He even didn't know how to respond to this question.

"Let's... recruit some talented people, build a team, and officially start developing the Jiaolong phone."

"Awesome!" everyone cheered.

I understand. After all, when we are teenagers, we are not sensitive to many things, including the amount of money.

In fact, not many people have a specific idea of ​​what level 10 million is.

The total amount of money many people earn in their lifetime is less than 10 million. After saving for a lifetime, they would be considered wealthy if they could have a few million.

When I was young, I loved to brag the most. All I talked about was this boss or that rich man. I felt embarrassed if I didn't talk about tens of millions or even hundreds of millions when chatting.

——Maybe he will be like this even after he starts working.

It's as if bragging about these bosses can make you make more money, like a spiritual shareholder.

Some embarrassing memories were triggered. It was Li Yan’s last year of architecture at university. Graduation was approaching and the topic of conversation at every dinner was work.

Classic quotes are endless, such as "When the monthly salary exceeds 10,000, it will be a piece of cake", "If you exceed 10,000, you will only make a dozen or twenty dollars a year", "After working on a project for a few years, the performance of a project will be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions", "When the time comes, it will only be a matter of time for you to take on a project worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions a year and become a millionaire"...

In the eyes of a "reserve architectural designer" who is about to enter the society with great ambition, an annual salary of 500,000 yuan is considered not doing well.

An annual salary of 500,000, one million in two years, five million in ten years, promoted to director of a design institute with an annual salary of one million, ten million in ten years, a senior designer with twenty years of experience changes jobs to become a chief engineer, making a few million for a project.

This is the boring and tedious future. They will even think deeply about how to complete "valuable and meaningful" design projects earlier and skip the days of struggling to make 10 million just to survive.

Later on... they didn't want to keep this memory anymore.

"I thought you would think 30 million is amazing." Li Yan thought about it and said what he really thought.

Zhu Qinglun's reaction confirmed Li Yan's thoughts. He said seriously, "It's pretty impressive, but we all think that 30 million is nothing to you. It's just three sports cars worth 10 million. I saw a 30 million sports car at Rongxi Commercial City last time. It was so damn cool..."

"What about the 100 million?"

Everyone was stunned. Chen Fan flashed and grabbed Li Yan's shoulder. "One hundred million? You got one hundred million? Don't tease me."

...Sure enough, sensitivity to numbers must be based on one's own understanding.

"You think thirty million is nothing, but three thirty million equals one hundred million. Why is it exaggerated?"

Everyone fell into deep thought, and then Lin Heng finally came to his senses, "This kind of conversation is actually quite familiar. We often talk about it, but now ten million, no, one million is very far away from us. And Old Yan... already has thirty million."

Thank you, Lin Heng, for not letting tonight's show-off disappear into thin air.

"Who invested it?" Chen Fan was still the only one who could keep up with Li Yan.

"Strength and wisdom are high, I have never heard of it before."

"You haven't heard of this?" Chen Fan was a little surprised. "It's a subsidiary of Yili Group."

Yili Group... Li Yan knew that it was a private giant in Linjiang that started out as a high-quality real estate developer. Its business has spread across the country. It is a legendary large enterprise and is well-known in the real estate industry in Linjiang Province.

The headquarters was originally located in Rongxi District. In the past two or three years, with the rapid construction of the new city in Xinqiao District, it was also moved there.

A big topic of gossip among the people in New Taipei is how much money their bosses have.

However, Li Yan is no longer the architecture student he was in his previous life. Currently, he has a general interest in real estate. He always feels that making money from this thing is not very amazing - in his previous life, this would be considered sour, but now he has some confidence to speak up.

He had also had some interactions with Yili Group. The air tickets and unnecessary hotel expenses for Linjiang students to participate in the Qingxin Olympic National Games were sponsored by Yili Group.

No wonder Deputy Mayor Ren said, "He who cares about Linjiang's development is a person with great passion and ideals." It seems that the corporate culture of the entire Yili Group is like this.

"Do you know the chairman of Yi Li?" Li Yan asked.

Chen Fan was amused, and everyone was amused.

"We should be the ones asking you this. How could we possibly know each other?"

"There's not much in common." Li Yan said as he turned on the computer and typed "Yili Group" into the search box.

"It's useless. They are not listed and their information is very secretive. The information that the general manager of Ligao Wisdom is called Han Zheng may not be known by many people."

"There really is no information at all. There isn't even an official website."

"Why do we need an official website?" Chen Fan was puzzled.

"It's good for displaying the results and promoting them."

"Do they still need it? Hey, what Yan Shen means is... we should make one?"

"Let's talk about it later. There's nothing much to promote during the R&D stage. We can just build the architecture first."

The others looked at Li Yan and Chen Fan who suddenly entered the working state, feeling a little helpless and a little envious.

What they envied was Chen Fan. Li Yan was already a person from another dimension, and they didn't even dare to envy him.

In the group chat of Hetu system, Li Yan finally popped up and came up to tell everyone the big news that he would divide up the equity - but in fact they had no idea, but the title of "founding team" sounded very cool.

The opportunity to collaborate and communicate with Academician Ni's team drove them all crazy.

Including Chen Fan who was in the dormitory.

Howling.

This is also what Li Yan likes about them, their purity and their high pursuit of technology.

In the future, the research and development team of Jiaolong mobile phones will inevitably have many people with more mature technology and richer experience, but his team must not be without this kind of purity.

Besides... these four people are definitely promising in the future, and it is not easy to gather them together.

Academician Ni is willing to "cooperate and communicate" with Li Yan, and the impact factor of this five-member team should not be low.

"What's next?"

Chen Fan suddenly asked while typing. Li Yan did not answer immediately. He had just completed an extreme rush job and achieved a better result than expected.

Next, making a "future mobile phone" that can be used commercially is a completely different task.

There are so many technical difficulties to be solved and resources to be coordinated that we cannot be impatient.

You must never think of getting rich overnight. The public's expectations are there, and once the phone is released, people will definitely nitpick with a magnifying glass.

Moreover, one of the core competitive advantages of Jiaolong mobile phone is its software ecosystem that refreshes people's cognition. These things cannot be achieved by just making a software.

Plus the big problem of online payment...

It's not just a mobile phone.

Li Yan hadn't even thought clearly about whether to cooperate with a company that already had related business or to just do it on his own. When it came to "what to do next", he was at a loss.

"I need to get to know a lot of people." Li Yan murmured.

Chen Fan knew that Li Yan was lost in his own thoughts, so he stopped talking.

If you can’t rush it, then don’t rush it.

He also needs to slow down. Rushing forward headfirst is not a good option.

Adjusting your rhythm starts on the weekend.

It's a bit difficult to adapt to the sudden slowdown from such a tight pace.

Li Yan only felt that the flow of time had slowed down, and it turned out that a day could be very long.

He has time to think about all sorts of things, pick a restaurant he wants to eat at, figure out how to improve the "all-around bonus" system, brag to his roommates, go for a run, complain about all the idiots on Weibo, and then look up and see that it's still 11:30 in the morning.

In fact, in the eyes of his roommates, he is still working at full pace, with a lively mind, high energy, and not wasting a minute.

So much so that during lunch, Liang Tiancheng couldn't help but ask, "Li Yan, is being in a daze a luxury for you?"

“I often daydream, too.”

"No one would believe that." Lin Heng laughed.

"It's true. When I'm daydreaming for just a moment, my mind can drift far away. Sometimes when I come to my senses, I've already thought of a lot of random things, but in the real world, only one or two seconds have passed."

Is being in a daze for one or two seconds considered as being in a daze?

"Once Ayan relaxes, he will return to the familiar rhythm of pretentiousness." Li Ruofei gave a good summary.

As a result, Li Yan only relaxed for half a day.

In her previous life, Li Yan could not understand or empathize with those workaholics.

Especially some leaders who think they are very active in their work.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Work with management authority is different from being treated like a beast of burden.

Especially the leaders of companies, when they return home, they are the son pressured by their parents, the husband despised by his wife, and the father rebelled against by his children; when they go out, they are a middle-aged man with a big belly and no appeal, or even "that old man". But at work, they are the managers of at least several people.

There are many people here who serve you attentively and flatter you, and they feel comfortable no matter how they treat them.

When you get on the bus, someone opens the door; when you drink water, someone pours it for you; when you assign work, someone will work overtime.

How can you not love your job?

At that time, he slammed all those who loved their work, believing that they were either empty-headed or leaders.

Now he has a new understanding.

It turns out that when your energy remains at a high level and your brain remains active, you really can't relax.

He couldn't help it after just a moment's rest. His mind was full of thoughts on how to recruit talents next. He was eager to collect all kinds of information and start testing his ability to select talents.

Logic: This job is something you want to do, and its meaning is completely different from working like a slave just to make money.

Logical reinforcement: Moreover, the current role is the decision maker, who is a person with power and should not be substituted for cattle and horses.

The logic is reiterated: most jobs are meaningless except for making money. Don't be condescending and empathize with the vast majority of people. If you have the ability, change the distribution method so that everyone can do what they love and have enough food to eat.

Logical supplement: There is no emotion in the above.

Li Yan was silenced by what she did.

After the excitement faded, Li Yan contacted Huang Zhan. Now Boss Huang has officially joined the Jiaolong mobile phone project as a "partner". He has a large number of industry talent resources. Li Yan hopes that he can help recommend a few people first.

"Boss Li, if we really want to recruit talents, we have to go to Beijing again."

"Next, I'll have to go more than just to Beijing. I'm afraid I'll have to travel around a lot. Mr. Huang, please don't use the title 'Mr. Li' anymore." Li Yan was indeed a little embarrassed.

"That won't work. You have to develop a habit of it." Huang Zhan said righteously, "You have to be serious and have a deterrent effect. Outside, your identity is that of a young and promising CEO of an awesome startup company."

"Minors?"

"There's no need to tell others what you don't know. Knowing it will be more intimidating. Are you still planning to be friends with these people?" Huang Zhan was inexplicably serious today. "Mr. Li, in the business world, you can say you are friends, but you can't be friends in your heart."

"Then are we friends?" Li Yan asked.

"No. I am the seeker and you are the seeker."

Li Yan concluded that Huang Zhan must have drunk some wine and was still upset about Lao Lei's decision to set up his own company to make mobile phones.

After arranging some more work, Li Yan felt that the sticky feeling of emptiness brought about by relaxing for half a day had disappeared.

After finishing work, sort out your life.

Li Yan did not tell Li Chun about the 30 million investment. Anyway, all the companies that had dealings with Future Intelligence knew what was going on, so his father should just put his name on the story and be a hands-off boss.

It’s better to wait until he moves in after a while, and then if he is interested, take him to a meeting to let him experience what it feels like to be a big boss.

New Taipei City has arranged a house for him in Rongxi District, which is surrounded by mature supporting facilities and is very convenient to live in.

The location is on the edge of the core circle, the area is comfortable but not abundant, the building is three to five years old, and the decoration is just right.

All of them are above good but less than excellent.

Li Yan really admires people who do these jobs. If he were in their shoes, he really wouldn't be able to pay attention to these things.

I didn’t expect that the first house I got after starting over in life would be a gift.

However, I don’t know if my parents were being stubborn or a little timid, and they seemed conflicted about Li Yan’s invitation.

Their reason is: "If you don't make more money now, how are you going to buy a house in the future?"

...There are so many complaints that even Li Yan’s magical brain crashed.

There is nearly a month left until the start of summer vacation in July, which is the end of the second semester of the second year of junior high school.

This is the time when Li Yan officially left New Taipei No. 1 Middle School.

He knew that Tan Li and even Wang Peihua would arrange a farewell party for him. Thinking about it, he felt a little happy but also a little awkward. After all, he hadn't gotten along with his classmates at all in the second year of junior high school...

Forget it, let’s talk about it when the time comes. If you really don’t want to participate, just tell Tan Li.

As for Wei Yunzhi, the high school entrance exam is in a week, so I'd better not bother her.

Unless she takes the initiative to find it.

She actually took the initiative to look for it.

On the afternoon of June 6, Sunday, Wei Yunzhi sent a message:
"I want to see you before the high school entrance exam."
