Chapter 436 Before Today, After Tomorrow

The press conference ended up lasting two and a half hours.

It was much longer than Li Yan expected.

The last ten minutes were a mess, with the venue filled with running wild emotions and randomly generated questions.

It even gives people a feeling of a celebration party.

Li Yan had already introduced everything he needed to introduce, and seeing that the time had exceeded a lot, all the bigwigs were very busy, and he shouldn't have turned the venue into a personal fan meeting.

Unexpectedly, when he left the venue and returned to the backstage, these bigwigs took over the fans' jobs and came to chat with Li Yan one after another.

You praised me and I expressed my feelings, and I pushed the clock to 10:30 in the evening.

Li Yan was already showing signs of fatigue, while the employees of Future Technology were just beginning to get excited.

It seems that only by being away from the atmosphere of mass carnival can they regain some of their own emotions.

Then one by one they couldn't control their expressions.

"Brother Miao, you are going to make a fortune!" Shang Jie pinched him, knowing that Sun Miao had a relatively good dividend ratio.

Sun Miao was clearly in pain, but he was not annoyed at all. He just said "hush" nervously, "It's not on sale yet. Opening champagne at halftime is taboo."

"It's still halftime?" Shang Jie shrugged. "Should I say you are cautious or superstitious?"

"Who among you could have imagined that Mr. Li would offer 1999?" Cao Haibin was about to light a cigarette but was forced back by Wen Xin's death stare.

Several ministers shook their heads, and Liu Liwei said, "I really have never asked Mr. Li about this. I haven't even considered pricing from the beginning."

"You are the Minister of Commerce," Cao Haibin teased, "although the pricing is definitely decided by Mr. Li himself."

"What are you talking about? Aren't you also the Minister of Commerce?" Wen Xin probably doesn't like Cao Haibin's personality.

"Well, I did give a pricing plan, but I didn't know much about the hardware cost, so I knew the plan I gave was not very valuable. But I couldn't think of the price of 1999." Cao Haibin shook his head, "To be honest, Mr. Li, can this make money?"

"Yes." Bai Shuyun joined the discussion while holding a water cup. "To put it bluntly, all the difficulties were solved by Mr. Li himself. For a normal company, hiring a talent like Mr. Li... No, it is impossible to hire just one person. It should be said that hiring a team equivalent to Mr. Li's level is very costly."

"But for future technology, it's free," Shang Jie added.

"Looking back, it's incredible. With just a small team like us, we were able to develop the system, from concept to finished product in less than a year, and set off everyone's expectations. Every step was so smooth and so fast..." Sun Miao exclaimed, "But I actually felt like I was used to it."

"Boss Sun," Cao Haibin curled his lips, "Let's not talk about us. It would take us ten years to develop the system with just the number of people we have. If it weren't for Boss Li using his connections to bring in two teams, we could have solved all the problems ourselves..."

"Come on, come on, I didn't say it was me. Of course I was talking about Mr. Li."

"Where's President Zhou?" Wen Xin suddenly asked, interrupting the discussion that had gone a little off track.

"He has always had a relatively aloof status from Teacher Li, and he is reminiscing with old friends." Shang Jie pointed to the brightly lit conference room not far away.

"I'm afraid our status will be transcendent in the future." Sun Miao pursed his lips, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Where is Mr. Li?" Wen Xin asked again.

"I don't know. Maybe they are still receiving the big guys waiting in line?" Shang Jie looked at the reception hall on the other side for a long time.

In fact, there is only one "big boss" left in Li's queue, Huang Zhan.

He stayed until now on purpose, and Li Yan also showed some relaxation when it was his turn.

It's a kind of tacit understanding.

"Boss Li," Huang Zhan sat down next to Li Yan. There were only Li Yan, Wang Zi and him in the huge room. "Are you tired?"

"You can see it all." Li Yan smiled.

Huang Zhan hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Great."

"Are you here just to give compliments?" Li Yan smiled again, looking very relaxed.

"I have too many thoughts, and I don't know what to say for a moment." Huang Zhan looked at the ceiling. "Even I feel unreal, how do you feel?"

You see, when emotions are aroused to a certain degree, people will become emotional after they calm down.

Li Yan said, "It's still unclear how high we can reach."

Huang Zhan just sighed and said, "Want to have a midnight snack? I'll treat you. I recently found a very good restaurant in Lincheng."

Very sincere, but...

"Mr. Huang, maybe next time. As you can see, I am indeed a little tired today."

"No problem. Li Yan, I still want to ask, with a price of 1999... can you make money?"

"Yes, but I don't make much money from each machine." Li Yan nodded, "But the bigger the volume, the lower the cost."

"That's enough." Huang Zhan breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll discuss the details with you when we have the chance."

"Don't worry, Mr. Huang, the Chuang Clan will not lose money, it just depends on how much we can earn."

"At least I can explain it to them."

Li Yan didn't care who "they" were talking about. In fact, his mind was already a little wandering.

"Sister Wang, please contact the property management of the conference center and finish the work. I'm going back first."

"Okay, Mr. Li, be careful on the road."

Then Wang Zi saw Li Yan going out from the "safety exit".

He decisively chose to avoid the expectant Future Technology employees, and when he walked to the car, the driver rushed out of the convenience store.

"Mr. Li, I'm sorry..."

"It's okay," Li Yan said in a very relaxed tone, "Let's go back to the company."

"Eh?" This was beyond Driver Gao's expectation again. "Going back to your office?"

"correct."

No one knows what Li Yan is thinking.

Driver Gao saw from the rearview mirror that Li Yan was just looking out the window calmly. He sensed a strong aura and drove silently all the way without saying a word.

At this moment, Driver Gao had only one thought in his mind:

There is thunder in the chest but the face is as calm as a lake...

No, it is "A general's job: be quiet and secluded, and be just and orderly."

It's amazing that facing the surging fame and wealth, 16-year-old Li Yan can endure the loneliness so well.

After returning, driver Gao wrote a message on his Weibo:

"We all thought he had picked the stars, but we never imagined that he only had the sun in his eyes."

Li Yan returned to his office silently but briskly.

Surprisingly, there were still some people who had not gone back. They were the ones writing manuscripts in the Propaganda Department. A small row of offices were lit, and you could hear a lot of cheerful laughter when you walked by downstairs.

There happened to be a young boy answering the phone downstairs - he was actually 28 years old, but if compared with Li Yan, there will be no young people in the future technology, so let's ignore Li Yan's age for now.

He was very surprised by Li Yan's sudden appearance, "Mr. Li? Why are you back? Are you alone?"

"Well, there's still something else. Thank you for your hard work."

"No way!" The young man was flattered. "We will definitely write explosive news!"

Li Yan smiled faintly, "The Propaganda Department pays attention to emotions, so the proportion of women is very high, but Minister Jiang is a calm person. People like you are arranged in to balance it out. If the fire is too strong, it will burn. You can't get carried away." The young man's language center collapsed a little. He never thought that he, who was just watching the live broadcast of the press conference and kept shouting "Li Yan is a god", would run into the real person when he went downstairs to make a phone call.

Then I was guided.

What does this mean? It means Li Yan remembers him!

This is what it means to be “entrusted with an important task”!
Seeing that the young man was about to lose control of his expression, Li Yan coughed and said, "What did you just say? Calm down."

"understand."

The young man looked at Li Yan's back as he left and felt that he looked particularly majestic.

How could Li Yan stay so calm? It seemed as if what was a miracle in the eyes of others was just an ordinary thing for him.

And when he should have been the center of attention, he actually returned to the company to work in a low-key manner.

Li Yan walked faster and faster. After returning to the office, he locked the door decisively and let out a long sigh.

After a moment of silence, he quietly turned on the computer and logged into QQ. There were so many messages that even the computer froze.

The flashing avatars kept changing. Li Yan took a quick look and saw that most of them were warm blessings and compliments.

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, opened one and closed it after reading it, until Wei Yunzhi's message:
"When are we going to chat on WeChat?"

Li Yan replied: "Soon."

He didn't reply to the other messages, and soon even stopped reading them. He just sat in the chair with his eyes closed and rested.

"Ha ha……"

I couldn't suppress my smile.

Why are you pretending, Li Yan!

He jumped up from his chair, punched and jumped around the office with all his might, shouting "yes! yes! yes!"

If I could only use one word to describe this moment, it would be "F*ck!"

It feels so good, so good that the top of my head feels like it’s flying to the sky with the bamboo dragonfly!
Although Li Yan was very calm before the press conference, and even analyzed the reason why "this matter is no longer a challenge"...

Although Li Yan knew that he would be very different from before today and after tomorrow, and knew that the possibility of his phone suddenly dying was very small, he had even prepared himself mentally for the sudden explosion of popularity...

Although he also understands that there is still a long way to go, even if the product sells well this time, the subsequent operation of the software platform may not be smooth sailing...

Although……

Although it's just an egg!
It's just a thought, but when the moment came to come true, when he faced the cheering crowd in the audience, Li Yan had only one feeling: it was fucking awesome!

Li Yan recalled the joy she felt in her previous life at Lincheng Yucai Primary School when she saw that her composition had won first prize and she was so excited that she took off on the spot.

Today, it is a thousand times more than that moment!
Li Yan awakened his self-awareness very early, so early that it later became a knot in his heart.

When he was in kindergarten, he had a wonderful idea.
It lingers in my mind.

Why could he only feel what he felt?
This sounds like nonsense, of course people can only feel themselves.

So maybe many people have had this idea, but Li Yan can't ignore it.

He can only feel himself. In other words, everyone else is just an NPC, and you are the only player.

No matter if they are dignitaries or friends and relatives, to Li Yan, even her closest parents, they are just "outsiders".

Once Li Yan dies, he will no longer have any perception of this world.

Therefore, he was very afraid of death at an early age, worrying that there would be no trace left after his death.

This quickly gave rise to another idea:
I am the only one.

Anyway, in this damn world, only everything I perceive and know is meaningful to me, so the absolute protagonist of my life can only be myself.

Everything else is unimportant. No matter how capable you are, how high your level is, or how explosive your influence is, to me, no one can compare to myself.

Of course, to support this idea, one cannot rely solely on empty self-suggestion.

Some objective facts are also needed.

That is realized self-worth.

It doesn’t matter what it is specifically, as long as Li Yan approves it.

So he has been working hard to become stronger, and has been trying to create something worth remembering by future generations.

That's why I feel so bad about my talent being wasted.

At least on the afternoon of his rebirth, he suddenly realized that he could only be the protagonist of himself, but not the protagonist of the world.

He didn't get the script, he was just one of the countless players who had a flash of inspiration but ended up being mediocre.

The string in my heart broke.

but now!
Li Yan suddenly stopped. The continuous jumping and excited emotions made his breathing rapid. His chest kept rising and falling, and he felt hot air coming out of his nose.

He opened his arms and couldn't help laughing:
"I am the protagonist of the world!"

Yes, I am. From the moment I was reborn and awakened the system, I should have been the protagonist of this world.

Tomorrow is May Day. Starting from tomorrow, Li Yan’s life trajectory will usher in new changes.

It is the dream of countless people to achieve success overnight.

After tomorrow, wealth will become just numbers for Li Yan, and "consumption" will be something that does not require any thought.

He has completed a powerful collection of resources, and he will be able to concentrate on studying the system, using interest as a boat and freedom as a guide, to sail on the ocean called life.

Go discover new continents for mankind and create more miracles for the world.

And he was only sixteen years old.

The dragon that has emerged is not only this mobile phone, but also himself.

But tonight, let him have a good rest.

Li Yan found that she had lost her appetite. Although she was extremely excited, she could still yawn while sitting in the chair.

Interpersonal communication is indeed a big energy drain for Li Yan...

He didn't really want to respond to any emotions anymore. Pre-sales would start after 12 o'clock, and various promotional press releases would be released one after another. The reservation data would be public, and he didn't know how many thoughts and emotions he would have regarding this batch of data by then.

Just have a good sleep.

Thinking this way is one thing, doing it is another.

Li Yan felt refreshed after brushing her teeth.

I was very energetic because it was almost twelve o'clock in the morning.

It’s really impossible not to look at the data.

So Li Yan, who had already changed into pajamas and was lying on the bed, turned over and opened her laptop.

"Logically speaking... at this point in time, there's no rush to buy a phone. It's only on sale on the 20th, and I didn't say it was limited, so it shouldn't be... huh?"

To Li Yan's surprise, the website was stuck.

It only took him a moment to go from feeling unhappy to feeling uncontrollably excited.
