Chapter 435: Creating History Must Be Thorough

The mood in the entire conference hall was extremely high, and it continued to get more and more intense with the small-scale discussions.

Just like boiling water, bubbles surge up and down one after another.

Everyone kept thinking about what Li Yan had said before, and the more they thought about it, the more awesome it seemed to them. Then, adding the influence of “domestic” and Li Yan himself, everyone turned it into the word “outrageous”.

In fact, Li Yan didn't eat properly. By the time she took a few symbolic bites, the audience was already buzzing.

"Everyone," he said slowly after wiping his mouth and taking a sip of water, "I think the best way to demonstrate this is to let everyone try it out for themselves."

Some people can't close their mouths anymore.

"Because time is limited, only some people can go on stage to experience it. Please invite the guests in the first row to go on stage first. Other friends are welcome to raise your hands to sign up. Your seats will be registered backstage. I will randomly select five groups of people, a total of 50 people, to go on stage to experience it."

A forest of arms suddenly stood up below the stage.

"Uh... Then, just draw the number. If the person who draws the number doesn't want to come up, we'll continue with the random draw."

How could they be unwilling? Except for the media reporters who might have some unnecessary thoughts and a very small number of industry professionals who consider themselves neutral, most of the people present today are supporters of Li Yan.

It’s just a matter of fans and non-fans, fanatical and non-fanatic.

Among the young people here, a large number are both electronic product enthusiasts and fans of Li Yan.

As long as you add a layer of patriotic sentiment, they basically become the most fanatical group at the press conference.

That's a pretty high proportion.

What does that mean, friends? It’s the feeling of having your XP exploded. Do you understand?

In short, impatient.

Fortunately, Li Yan was prepared for this. The first wave of trials was given to the leaders, which served as a sample and calmed the emotions of others.

Give the impression that "this is what it's like to try it out on stage."

Unexpectedly, after listening to a lot of popular science and praise in the audience, the leaders were all very excited when they got on the stage, especially the senior official Zhang who looked very serious.

It is not known whether it was because of the camera following him that he wanted to show his attention to technology, or whether he was really interested in the Jiaolong phone, but Senior Official Zhang really started to study the phone without any airs.

The big boss takes the lead in playing with it carefully, so what else should others be prepared for?

So interest suppressed everything. Li Yan, who originally thought that she would just go through the motions and move on to the next stage, was unexpectedly surrounded by a group of leaders and asked questions.

The sound of the shutter is louder than the sound of Li Yan typing on the keyboard. The photographer who is walking on the edge with the camera is as agile as a ghost.

Orchid butterfly moves in the clouds!
As the photographer was filming, he became confused and approached Editor-in-Chief Bu and asked:

"Editor-in-Chief, this is not easy to shoot..."

"what happened?"

"Look, this group of leaders are surrounding Li Yan, all of them are smiling and holding their phones..."

Editor-in-Chief Bu took a look and fell silent.

Indeed, because the leaders were asking questions and studying their phones, their body postures were naturally not straight. On the contrary, Li Yan, who was standing in the middle, looked like a teacher answering students' questions.

Seeing Chief Editor Bu struggling, Chief Editor Sun on the side smiled broadly.

"That's the feeling. I experienced it when I first met him. At a cultural performance, a group of leaders surrounded Li Yan, who was still a junior high school student at the time, and asked him questions. After all these years, it's still the same!"

"So how do you shoot it?"

"Just shoot it as you want. Li Yan is special. The leaders don't put on airs, so why should we think about that?"

Editor-in-Chief Bu nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing that the leaders were getting more and more excited about the research, Li Yan felt that he was a little overwhelmed.

Ren Jiangfeng saw this, so he mentioned Zhang Gaoguan and brought up the enthusiasm of the whole audience. Zhang Gaoguan understood what he heard and said with a smile that they would buy one and study it carefully at home after it was released, and gave the stage back to Li Yan...

fans of.

So, the press conference, which was originally scheduled to take just over an hour, lasted for a full hour after Li Yan gave a 40-minute speech and demonstration.

Li Yan felt like she was a sprint class teacher who kept changing classes to teach the same lesson.

As soon as I finished answering this group of people, another group came up with strong curiosity and exactly the same questions.

Originally, Sun Miao was going to go on stage to help Li Yan, but seeing that he handled the situation with ease and comfort, he gave up the idea of ​​stepping forward.

This response is certainly not a pressure for Li Yan.

But I’m so tired.

His thinking speed is extremely fast, and his reaction and concentration are extremely strong, far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

But after all, there is only one mouth.

It feels like everyone around you is an idiot.

The moment the question was asked, he had already thought of several answers.

Everyone would not wait for one person to finish asking, but several people would ask at the same time, but Li Yan could hear everything clearly.

His ability is too strong, so strong that he has become passive. I can't help but listen.

I even listened to their discussion, and my brain was able to handle it.

Unfortunately, he could only respond through his mouth and couldn't transmit brain waves directly, so it felt like he was answering questions for a kindergarten kid.

Be patient to listen and be patient to speak.

The answers at the end were no different from reading from a script...

In the end, more than eighty people were allowed to go on stage. Li Yan decisively waved her hands repeatedly to indicate that there would be more important content in the press conference, which persuaded the others to leave.

At the end of April, the weather in Linjiang was already a bit hot.

After this wave, even though the air-conditioning was on in the venue, Li Yan had a layer of sweat on his forehead.

The entire conference hall felt steamy.

Everyone who has played with the phone seemed to be still unsatisfied and were frantically sharing their experiences with others.

The sentence Li Yan heard most often was "Everything he said is true."

After the atmosphere calmed down a bit, Li Yan finally let all eyes return to him.

How come... everyone's eyes are shining and a little hot?

"Due to time constraints, we can't let everyone experience the actual phone today." Li Yan said, "But I believe that friends who have tried it should have shared a lot of their feelings. Let me ask everyone, is this phone awesome?"

"Brilliant!"

The slogan was so loud that it even scared senior official Zhang.

People are still a little sensitive to uniform feedback.

"I still want to emphasize that the phones you have experienced on the stage, like the one in my hand, and the phones that will be released and that you can buy soon, are all produced on the same production line."

As soon as he finished speaking, applause and cheers started, and the atmosphere was completely ignited.

“All the craftsmanship and details you can see are the same as the phone you will buy when the time comes.”

Someone in the audience couldn't hold back any longer and asked the question that everyone was most concerned about:
"how much is it?"

Yes, that's the only question left. Li Yan has shown what she should show, and has achieved results that exceeded expectations.

In other words, the fact that "Jiaolong phone is awesome" is no longer something that needs to be emphasized.

The facts are there, everyone knows that the Jiaolong phone is amazing, future technology is awesome, and Li Yan is the best in the world.

Now everyone’s curiosity has been satisfied and stimulated enough, and they have entered the next stage of the mental journey of looking forward to getting the mobile phone themselves.

This is a mobile phone that symbolizes the glory of domestic products, a mobile phone that can be said to be leading the world, and a mobile phone that leads the future. Since we have seen the future, why not buy it?

Almost everyone started speculating.

The question of how much it will sell for is not only of interest to those who want to buy it, but also to those in the industry.

Huang Zhan actually often asked Li Yan questions indirectly, but Li Yan never responded directly. He also knew that this kind of question was more core, so he did not ask again.

But I am very curious!

Research and development is a bottomless pit. Huang Zhan still shudders when he thinks of the days when he was working on the system. Money was always being burned, and the time and manpower spent were all just costs.

But I can't see any progress bar, and I don't know how long this money-burning mode will last.

If you want to reduce costs, you need to shorten the development cycle, which means you need to add people, and adding people will increase costs...

Especially when he had to resort to clumsy methods to solve difficult problems at work, Huang Zhan had a strong sense of gambling with his life.

If you succeed, it's all fine, but if you fail, it would be a very ugly death.

Li Yan has been developing his own system since the beginning, and even optimized his own assembly line. Just thinking about it makes me feel...

Wait, Huang Zhan suddenly reacted.

It seems that it has not been long since Li Yanzheng has been leading a company with more than 500 employees.

The time for the entire project has been severely compressed. Things that normally take two to three years to complete have been compressed into two to three months.

Especially in the early stage of system research and development, no matter what, it was Li Yan himself who relied on it.

As long as he is awesome enough and can solve the pain points and difficulties on his own, he can reduce all kinds of R&D costs to the extreme.

Li Yan did not take even one step of the "stupid method" that Huang Zhan took.

"Damn..." Huang Zhan didn't understand why he didn't realize the above facts until he sat here today.

"It seems that Li Yan did not invest as much money as imagined?" He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Dong Zhenchang next to him laughed and said, "Boss Huang is so idealistic all of a sudden? When did making money have anything to do with low costs?"

"Give everyone a chance to guess." After an hour of interaction, Li Yan simply continued the interaction.

As soon as I finished speaking, there was a roar from the audience:
"3000 yuan to make friends!"

Then there was a burst of laughter. Judging from the reactions of the group of young people, they probably thought that this guy was just making trouble.

Most people in the audience guessed that the price was between 4,000 and 5,000, and they obviously set their reference on the Pineapple phone.

In other words, the direct target is "high-end products".

Li Yan was very satisfied with this. If everyone thought that 3000 yuan was an impossible low price, then the prerequisite for triggering a surprise would be met.

"Four thousand, four thousand, four thousand..."

"I'll buy all eight thousand!"

"No brainer to buy below 6,000, big support!"

This is 2010, and a mobile phone worth several thousand yuan is not an ordinary item. However, considering that everyone present today is at least a small enthusiast - someone who is not so interested in electronic products themselves but can attend the conference, so there is no pressure to buy one - it is understandable that such a "bold statement" is made.

But no one considered the cost-effectiveness issue, which shows that everyone was obsessed with it.

While he was high, Li Yan played a card:
Strike while the fire is hot… No, strike while the iron is hot.

"The price is ..."

Four numbers instantly appeared on the screen - 1999.

There was a pause of a full second in the audience, as everyone was confirming whether the three nines were preceded by a one.

The thunderous cheers that Li Yan expected came a second late.

Then there was a loud noise that made one's heart tremble, and Li Yan was a little dazed for a moment.

There was a crowd of people in front of me, staring with their eyes wide open and their mouths open, some with expressions of disbelief, some with expressions of ecstasy.

In other words, most people have both of the above expressions at the same time.

This felt very unreal to Li Yan; the scene was even more tense than some carefully arranged movie scenes.

And he is the center of it all, the one who created this moment.

An unprecedented sense of fulfillment filled Li Yan's heart so much that he was unable to recover from his own surprise for a while.

Because of his previous thoughts, Huang Zhan had high expectations for Li Yan's super low price.

But he was also shocked by the price, let alone others.

Dong Zhenchang, who had just teased Huang Zhan, was completely confused. "Is Li Yan paying for his business? This isn't the way to do things, right? Will Wei Yili allow him to do this?"

"Do you remember the consensus we reached, Mr. Dong?" Huang Zhan's eyes seemed to be out of focus. "Don't use common sense... to understand him."

The leaders didn't have any idea about this. Senior official Zhang applauded and asked Zuo Yuming, "Everyone looks so happy, so this price seems reasonable?"

"This is not a reasonable question, it's just too cheap!" Zuo Yuming laughed, "The traditional mobile phones we use are still one or two thousand yuan each. Although there are cheap smart phones now, high-end products like Jiaolong phones cost thousands of yuan..."

Amazing, popular science, emotional, crazy...

There are also mixed feelings.

For example, Lao Lei, who sits in a relatively marginal position.

He was not actually an "individual" invited to the conference, but because Li Yan gave an invitation to the Shangjing Technology Circle, he came over to take a look.

Not many people from Beijing's technology circle came this time, and everyone knows the reason.

Lao Lei himself is no longer engaged in the mobile phone industry, so it is relatively not embarrassing.

The purpose of his trip was to see what kind of products Li Yan, who finally made him decide to give up entering the mobile phone industry, could make.

At the beginning, Lao Lei was able to calmly accept everything that Li Yan presented.

He even regretted his withdrawal because Li Yan had many of the same ideas as him on hardware, appearance and even configuration.

"Although Li Yan pursues more details and texture..."

He thinks so.

It was not until Li Yan finished talking about the system and software that Lao Lei began to feel that he had made a wise decision.

But at this moment, he still had a line of defense in his heart:
My idea of ​​making mobile phones is different from yours. You pursue high-end and high-tech, while I pursue making mobile phones accessible to ordinary people and offering the best cost-effectiveness.

Then Li Yan offered the price of 1999.

Unbelievable.

This was the ideal price that Lao Lei had imagined, but today it appeared on the Jiaolong mobile phone, which he considered to be high-tech.

When facing such people, you should choose to be friends rather than opponents.

Lao Lei’s trip was not in vain. He completely said goodbye to the mobile phone dream that he had been struggling with for a year, so that he can concentrate on continuing to work hard in other fields.

This is a phone with history-making quality and even its fucking price.

Walking into ordinary people's homes with an extremely noble attitude is something no one dares to imagine.

As for Li Yan on the stage, she had prepared a closing speech to elaborate on the "future lifestyle with future mobile phones" again, but no one wanted to hear it anymore.

One fanatical fan ignored the order of the venue, rushed to the stage in two steps, grabbed the microphone on the podium, and asked in an extremely excited tone: "Quick, speak louder, tell us the release time!"

Before he was taken back by security, Li Yan gave the answer:
"Give me some time to prepare the goods. See you on May 5th."

Li Yan felt that the ceiling of the conference hall had been blown off.
