Chapter 396 The pattern needs to be bigger
The work started unexpectedly.

We didn't know each other yet, and the first time I met the boss, I was shocked. I immediately received the task and went to my workstation to start working.

No need to adjust to the handover? No need to call a meeting?

But it seems that there is really no need for that. We are all elites, with detailed tasks in our hands, and we just need to do it as required.

The groups have already been made, and the work is all new, so the meeting is just for mobilization.

Or it should be said that Li Yan skipped the preliminary steps by directly implementing the division of labor.

Bai Shuyun felt that Boss Li had said to him again, "See if you can keep up."

I didn't do anything, but the pressure was building.

What was even more terrifying was that as soon as Bai Shuyun walked into the office area where his team was located, he found that someone had already been rolled up.

The two buddies were wearing headphones, holding snacks at hand, half lying on ergonomic chairs, their fingers already flying up and down.

Yes, headphones, snacks, chairs and a top-of-the-line computer are all prepared by future technology.

According to Li Yan, this investment is equivalent to giving everyone an extra month's salary.

“It’s more important to get them to work right away.”

Li Yan’s philosophy is very simple: she will give what should be given and will not take a penny less than what is required.

His philosophy of life has always been "I will treat you the way you treat me", and it has not changed from his last life to now.

Although this approach will always result in the first person to suffer, it will basically put an end to interpersonal friction and allow you to live a more straightforward life.

Now that Li Yan has enough ability to support himself, he has added an active version:
"How I treat you, you have to treat me the same way."

He was not willing to waste too much time and energy on things like interpersonal relationships and company management - he would rather spend all his time studying the system.

To put it bluntly, when he is strong enough, strong enough to be an army of his own and does not need to rely on anyone to accomplish something, favors are meaningless.

To be more precise, "he doesn't need to consider it."

As a "startup company", Future Technology offers salaries far exceeding the standard level of start-up companies and is willing to give relatively high dividends to some core members, but it does not give everyone the shares that they care about most.

Just as Li Yan cannot be understood in the conventional way, Future Technology is not a company that follows the conventional path.

It does not need to rely on stock incentives to boost employee motivation.

Therefore, Li Yan would not say anything like treating the company as one's own home and the project as one's own pursuit.

In the final analysis, stock incentives are about letting everyone work hard to increase value.

Li Yan took another approach. He broke down all the tasks neatly. If you provide the technology to complete the task, I will pay you. It's that simple.

Therefore, as long as the task can be completed, Li Yan doesn’t care whether he slacks off or is proactive or not.

But Li Yan couldn't accept that someone was capable enough but was lazy and didn't do anything.

Neither the company nor the employees owe each other anything. The company is not the employee’s home, and the employees are not the boss’s father.

I give you money to do this job. If you are not willing to do it, leave. If you feel the salary is not enough, ask for a refund. If you stay, do the job well.

If you stay and don't work, does Li owe you something?
If they accept the salary and do their job well, the company can no longer talk to them about feelings or the future.

So he even bought ergonomic chairs at two thousand yuan each, and tried to make the office environment comfortable and free. As long as someone did a good job or did extra work, he would be generous with the rewards.

However, for those who are willing to come, the office environment and even the salary are probably not as attractive as becoming a member of the "Jiaolong mobile phone R&D team."

Li Yan couldn't do anything about this. She just accepted the salary and the job and just kept doing it.

If you do a good job, you will be rewarded. If you do a bad job, you will be fired.

If you feel you can accept it, then continue to do it. If you feel the pay is too low or the work is too difficult, then break up.

"This should be the basic logic of a company's operation, right? Why make so many messes?" Li Yan said to Wang Zi.

Wang Zi was speechless. She had never seen a boss who used his personal ability to suppress his employees and then took charge of the overall situation by himself...

This is an atypical case.

"It's OK when there are fewer people, but when there are more people, there will be problems with the efficiency and authenticity of information transmission. And when there are too many people, there will be many invisible places, and it will be difficult for the leader to take care of all of them..." Wang Zi tried to express her own opinion, "Also, people's hearts are complicated. When there are too many people, some office struggles are always inevitable."

"Get out if you dare to fight." Li Yan said concisely.

Wang Zi thought about it and realized that in this company there was really no such thing as layoffs affecting the aorta. The boss himself was the aorta.

She thought about it again and found that the so-called problems of information transmission among many people, inability to see the work situation, etc. were all solved by Li Yan's detailed division of labor.

As long as the boss divides the work among everyone, remembers what everyone does and uses this as a basis for evaluating their work results, he can avoid many problems!
I hope bosses can learn more from this.

"I really can't learn anything." Huang Zhan was chatting with Mai Wen.

Since the indirect cooperation with Luoshen Core, the relationship between the two has continued to heat up. After a few midnight snacks, they have become friends who can chat and gossip with each other.

"Still learning. This is what we call Wenquxing, a descendant from heaven." Mai Wen drank some wine and was a little tipsy.

"When I was managing a team of 30 people, I wanted to flatten the organization. I felt that there was no need to set up multiple levels for such a small number of people. As a result, I was busy dealing with all kinds of problems and information they reported every day."

"Managing a large team is always a big problem." Mai Wen smiled, "Especially when there are a lot of technical talents. No one will obey you."

"He showed his authority in just one interview." Huang Zhan raised his glass. "He established his authority in the first meeting with this group of newcomers. Only Li Yan could do this."

"Of course. We had a young man who went for an interview. He said that Li Yan gave him questions to write code while he was eating noodles, and then he optimized his code while watching a movie and eating noodles. Although I agreed to let him join, he couldn't stand it and came back to me to improve himself." Mai Wen laughed.

"Let's wait and see what other big moves he can make."

Li Yan really made a big move, but it was not sudden, it was part of the plan - an interview program on Oriental Focus.

As a prime-time personality interview program broadcast by China Television, the guests invited in each episode basically have a well-known name, or a low-key celebrity with an unknown name but a terrifying resume.

The fact that Li Yan can be on this show shows his actual influence in society.

It has always been a topic of conversation for many people after dinner, and now that the Luoshen core has come out, its level has skyrocketed.

So, after recruiting 148 new employees - basically all of them were technical talents with outstanding abilities, Li Yan did not give any instructions, but simply arranged a team of more than people including Cao Haibin to study hardware with Zhou Yang, and then boarded a plane to Beijing in a grand manner.

Sun Miao was dumbfounded. According to Li Yan's division of labor, he was supposed to "coordinate" the collection of results. Looking at the engineers in front of him with different postures but all of them with incredible hand speed, Sun Miao felt under great pressure.

The human resources department thought they had to continue recruiting, but they received a message from Wang Zi saying "please pause and wait for Mr. Li to come back."

"Has he always been so messy...and willful?" Wen Xin was curious.

"Yes, it has always been like this." Wang Zi was very sure.

Li Yan's schedule was quite tight. Before boarding the plane, she received a phone call asking whether she confirmed the recording today.

After all, it was not a live broadcast, so Li Yan just went straight to the studio to record.

The shape of the China Television building is rather strange, but it no longer has any special appeal to Li Yan now.

The people in this building are very busy, and there are often people walking around in a hurry carrying various equipment. Li Yan is quite impressed that they can avoid bumping into each other at so many corners.

Under the guidance of the staff, Li Yan quickly walked to the door of the studio. Unexpectedly, it was quite quiet inside.

When she walked in, Li Yan thought she had come to the wrong place. The auditorium was basically empty, but there were a row of staff standing in the front row.

"Oh... we need to rehearse first. No wonder they said before that the recording of the show might take more than five hours." Li Yan thought so and was guided in to the stage.

The stage lights were very bright, and the big screen in the background read "Oriental Focus". There were only a few sofas and a coffee table on the stage.

"Welcome, welcome!" A middle-aged woman with a very elegant figure came towards them. Her last name was Hu Ping. "The show is still being prepared. Please take a seat, Li Yan."

Li Yan sat on the sofa with a confused look on her face. The sofa was neither too soft nor too hard and was very comfortable.

But this most awesome talk show... why is it so casual?

Did he miss something?
In one's imagination, making a TV show should involve a lot of preliminary work such as invitations, giving plans, details, and question outlines. Then one has to put on makeup and rehearse on site, at least to get the process right, and then there can be a formal recording with an audience, right?

Why do you act like you're here for an interview today?

"Hey, aren't you wearing any makeup?" Hu Ping stared at Li Yan for a while and asked a staff member who was running around.

"No?" The man looked closer at Li Yan, "Oh, really not. This kid is so handsome. At first glance, I thought he had put on makeup. How can he be in such good shape?"

"Forget it, natural is better. Minors should not wear makeup if they can." Hu Ping said with a smile, and then motioned Li Yan to sit in her direction, "Li Yan, let's chat for a while."

After this conversation, Li Yan finally understood the source of this feeling of disharmony.

To put it bluntly, it’s all because of Li Yan’s own uniqueness.

If we pick out a few different aspects of him, they are actually all very good interview subjects.

As a student, he won various amazing awards, represented Hua Xia in winning the first place in the Youth Information Olympiad International Competition, and was the number one student in Hua Xia University's Outstanding Youth Class. As a "child prodigy", it is very meaningful to talk about family education, learning methods and a minor's imagination of the future.

As a young boss, Li Yan led the team to complete the research and development of the Luoshen core, and planted the dream of the Jiaolong mobile phone in the Chinese people. Talking about the mental journey of research and development and the future of future technology are also the best topics.

However, when these two are combined, things become difficult.

There is no problem in giving Li Yan privileges and paving the way for him in private, but when it comes to the surface, there are many things to consider.

Li Yan’s most sensitive identity is “minor”. No matter how much extraordinary maturity and ability he shows now, he is fifteen years old and no one will think that this guy is a reborn person.

I can only think that the mind of a teenager is just the mind of a teenager after all. Except for those who have been directly defeated by Li Yan, in the eyes of other big guys, Li Yan always needs to be protected.

If this child is targeted by cyberbullying because of something, and then his mentality explodes and he dies as a genius, no one can take responsibility for this.

Therefore, as a journalist, out of strong curiosity about Li Yan and to establish an image of a super genius belonging to China, this interview had to be done.

Out of protection for him, there were not even any audience members on site and the interview was conducted behind closed doors. If there was anything inappropriate, it would just be edited out.

If the performance is really inappropriate, this episode may not be broadcast.

"I understand, and thank you all for considering me so much." Li Yan said with a smile.

But Hu Ping made herself feel awkward.

Especially since she kept using the word "child" to describe Li Yan, it brought out her own sense of disconnection.

It was really hard for her to associate the tall, muscular, broad-shouldered handsome guy in front of her with "minor".

As we all know, handsome guys always have younger faces.

Apart from his voice that was obviously too young, there was nothing about Li Yan that indicated he was fifteen years old.

Coupled with this relaxed and restrained behavior, the battle-hardened Hu Ping didn't know how to respond.

"But we still have some ideas of our own," Hu Ping said. "In view of your amazing performance, we hope that this interview, or communication, will be more free, so we didn't prepare any questions for you in advance. What do you think..."

"That's exactly what I want." Li Yan laughed.

Hu Ping also clapped her hands appreciatively.

Then Li Yan acted like crazy and showed off in front of the entire program crew.

At least that's how it seems to them.

But Li Yan did not pretend to be cool on purpose. It was the program crew who asked her a lot of questions about her growth stories.

His entire growth story...if told, wouldn't it be just the Diary of a King?
For example, Hu Ping asked him, "What is the most memorable exam in your entire student life so far?"

Everyone thought he would answer the Qingxin Olympic Games or the International Games. After all, the two stories were about one counterattack and one fighting for the top. But Li Yan answered immediately:

"Just got to New Taipei First High School for the midterm exam."

Hu Ping's eyes lit up, thinking that she was finally not listening to a story that sounded like a novel. "Why? This is a test that is rarely mentioned."

"Because I didn't get first place in this game."

Another example is "Your first visit to Beijing should be to receive the Supernova International Mystery Literature Award, right? I heard that you also had to receive the Tianxing Literature Award that day. Why did you choose to come to Beijing despite the time conflict?"

“The food here tastes better.”

Another example is, "The system of the Huada Youth Excellence Class is very special. Now you have to work on the development of mobile phone systems. Will the special class system allow you to better manage your time?"

“This is the system I requested.”

...The interview that day was roughly at this pace throughout.

After hearing these answers, Hu Ping finally began to regard Li Yan as a child again.

The child who loves to show off is full of edge and looks like a young man full of vigor and vitality.

The talk show was broadcast two days later. Li Yan's various high-profile pretense mixed with a bit of humor - fortunately the humor score has stagnated, otherwise he would have regarded it as a talk show - conquered the hearts of many young people.

China has always been a country that values ​​being low-key and introverted. Now, the emergence of such a calm but pretentious little genius has satisfied many students' imaginations of their dream selves.

Of course, these alone should not be enough for Oriental Focus to decide to broadcast this episode.

At the end of the show, Hu Ping followed what she thought Li Yan meant and praised Li Yan with many descriptions that sounded exaggerated at first but were true when you think about it carefully.

At least at this moment, she is still hesitating whether the show should be broadcast.

Unexpectedly, when she said that Li Yan had been worshipped as a "god" in the Chinese computer circle, Li Yan waved his hand and said:
"China has never lacked talent in these fields, but for various reasons, no one has ever been so dedicated. To accomplish something, the right time, right place, and right people are all essential. Without the foundation laid by predecessors and without support from many parties, so-called 'genius' alone is far from enough."

The words were not made clear, but everyone who should be thanked was thanked. The enemy that had been high-profile for the previous twenty minutes was all dispelled by this one sentence.

"As for 'God', I hope it's just a joke. I just took advantage of the right time, right place, and right people, combined with my own omnipotent characteristics, to achieve small achievements at this stage. This is the result of the current era. The road to breaking through the current level of science and technology is long and difficult. I have just started, and I am far from being comparable to the predecessors who have been carrying the torch on this road for a long time."

After saying that, Li Yan's mind made a sound, [Expression ability +1, level 31 skill, total ]

It was a breakthrough, but he had nothing to be excited about.

These words stunned Hu Ping during the interview.

The audience who had been watching Li Yan acting so pretentious for twenty minutes were also stunned.
