Chapter 439 Reach the sky in one step
The sale time is nine o'clock in the morning. Li Yan specifically chose the time when workers go to work because she was worried that too many people would crowd the store at once.
As we all know, even if Future Technology releases more suggestions for staggered peak hours, people who line up in advance will only complain why there is not one more store.
Just get it to work time, the next day is Saturday, use these two days to divert the most fanatical supporters.
So Li Yan arrived at school at 7:45 in the morning - without waiting, and even wearing a school uniform.
However, there is a No. 1 Jiaolong mobile phone in the right pocket, and a No. 2 in the left pocket.
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is explosive.
All Jiaolong mobile phone stores are crowded with people.
"Man" means the road in front of the door is so full that it forms a long dragon.
Especially in several stores in New Taipei City, the most exaggerated one was that they circled the block where the store was located, and I almost couldn’t figure out where the end of the line was.
Many places attracted the attention of local law enforcement officers, who were amazed when they found out that the people were there to buy mobile phones.
Li Yan had already seen this wonderful sight on the way here.
He said: Don’t you guys have to go to work?
Secondly, everyone is pretty obedient in queuing.
This grand occasion is even greater than the one when W8 founded the clan... much greater.
Before Li Yan arrived at school, she had already received various messages. The popularity of the Jiaolong mobile phone was beyond imagination.
The breadth and depth are beyond imagination.
The number of enthusiastic people was much greater than Li Yan had expected - their willingness to buy was also quite outrageous. According to feedback from various sales outlets, many people were planning to buy two or three units.
The entire Linjiang area is booming - what surprised Li Yan was the popularity of Lincheng. It seemed that everyone in Lincheng could unlock an extra honorary achievement when they bought a Jiaolong phone.
The most shocking thing is, of course, the situation outside Linjiang.
There were too many people, more than expected.
It hasn’t even gone on sale yet, but “the long queues on the Jiaolong phone launch day” has already become a trending topic.
From the fact that Li Yan chose to take the company's business car to school this time, we can tell that his mentality is a bit strange.
For the first time in his life, Li was a little afraid of showing off.
He thought of the college entrance examination in his previous life. He did poorly for two and a half years and was considered hopeless by the whole class. However, he caught up in one semester. During the study period, he was ridiculed by classmates with average or below average grades. Finally, he made it into the top ten in the class in the college entrance examination.
The last time the high school classmates got together at school was to go back and collect their grade slips.
Li Yan overslept that day - I swear to God it wasn't intentional.
He knew that his classmates must have many thoughts about his grades, and as he walked in the empty campus, he couldn't help but have many thoughts in his mind.
I usually try to show off, but when it comes to this kind of passive showing off, I feel a little... embarrassed?
Anyway, the moment Li Yan walked into the classroom, everyone who was discussing heatedly fell silent, and the report card on his desk was wrinkled.
A classmate who was on good terms with him smiled and told him: "Everyone has passed your report card around twice."
Those who had mocked him before that day did not dare to say a word. Those who had good grades but did not score as high as Li Yan in the college entrance examination looked at him differently. One of his roommates even said to Li Yan in front of a group of classmates who were just chatting:
"We are usually about the same, how come you are so awesome in the college entrance examination? I really..."
Then he looked helpless and hesitant.
To be honest, as the pretentious protagonist, Li Yan herself felt that it was a bit dramatic.
Especially those who had good academic performance but were eventually suppressed by Li Yan... Oh no, the class beauty who was killed on horseback, I really couldn't bear to look into her eyes.
It's like The Truman Show.
But no matter what, even if the campus reopens, he still remembers how brisk his steps were when he walked on the campus.
Multiply this feeling a hundred times, and that’s probably what today’s experience is.
It was 7:45, already class time, and there were hardly any students walking around on campus.
Li Yan, walking in the school in school uniform, has a sense of pleasure of breaking out of all identity frameworks.
Very detached.
There was a student running late on the road, and the empty corridor made the presence of both parties stand out.
"Huh?" The student was stunned for a moment, then stopped his hurried steps and stared at Li Yan for a few seconds.
I thought this seemed to be the legendary Li Yan, but how could he appear in school today?
This is so weird, take another look?
But it’s already late!
Seeing him struggling to take one step forward and the other backward, Li Yan smiled and waved, "Hurry up and go to class, classmate."
"You, are you Li Yan?" the buddy asked.
"Yes."
"Oh my god! What's going on? Why are you here? This is the teaching building of New Taipei No. 1 High School. The Excellence Class is on the other side... No, why are you here today? Aren't the phones going on sale today?"
My buddy is talking incoherently.
“It’s not on sale until nine o’clock.”
"Hey, what are you doing here?" The boy had already forgotten about his lateness.
"Hurry up and go to class." Li Yan smiled helplessly.
"Ah!" The boy suddenly realized something and looked towards the teaching building in shock. He saw the class where Wei Yunzhi was. "Is it true?"
Li Yan didn't say anything, but just looked at the boy with a relatively serious look.
The boy panicked.
New Taipei First High School is a good school, and he is considered a smart high school student.
Even for the top students in the class who have good grades and are valued by the teachers, you cannot make jokes casually.
Not to mention the person in front of me.
Be in awe...
"I won't say anything. Oh no, I don't know anything."
"What's wrong?" Since you are so smart, it's Li Yan's turn to act stupid.
"No no."
"Hurry up and go to class. You are already late."
"Shen Yan, will you come to school again in the future?"
"Will do."
Only then did the boy feel satisfied and trotted back to the classroom.
Li Yan could imagine how much of a shock the following scene would bring to the students of New Taipei No. 1 High School.
He was waiting at the stairs of Wei Yunzhi's class.
It's too much to stand at the door when the class is still going on. Li Yan is a good student, and we need to consider the class discipline...
Just as he was thinking about it, the dean of studies happened to be patrolling the building and saw Li Yan standing at the stairs. The word "eh" was stuck in his throat.
Wearing the school uniform of the Excellence Class and with this figure, it can only be Li Yan.
He is not He Jimin from the Excellence Class, but the Dean of Studies at New Taipei Middle School, whose name Li Yan cannot remember.
Similarly, the dean had rarely seen Li Yan...
So things quickly turned into Li Yan being warmly invited to the teacher's office for a chat.
It seems that he is probably the only one who still regards Li Yan as his student.
Unfortunately, the bell for the end of get out of class rang shortly after he entered the office.
Seeing that it was difficult to get away, Li Yan stated her purpose directly, "I'm here to deliver a cell phone to Wei Yunzhi."
The teachers didn't react in their minds, but they were smiling.
Then, with the teachers watching her with smiles on their faces, Li Yan walked towards the entrance of Class 1, Grade , New Taipei Middle School, feeling as if a thorn was lurking behind her back.
Wei Yunzhi had never expected that Li Yan would come in such a "big show", and Li Yan had never expected that her "stealth" was like a flash bomb...
Fortunately, everyone still had some sense of propriety, knowing that this handsome man and beautiful woman were not ordinary people. It was okay to join in the fun, but it would be troublesome if they went too far. So behind one of them was the teacher, and behind the other was the classmate.
Wei Yunzhi decisively grabbed Li Yan's hand and ran downstairs.
They ran, no one dared to chase them, the two of them stayed together...
No, they just went to a place where the view was blocked, and like the handover between agents, one of them quickly took out a pink cell phone from his trouser pocket, and the other took it with a blushing face, looked at it for a while, put it in his pocket, and then gave Li Yan a small box.
Li Yan was about to open it but was stopped by the beautiful girl.
"Go back and watch it, don't watch it here."
"Is it special?"
"..."
Li Yan experienced what it meant to blush like an apple.
If this continues, I'm afraid smoke will come out.
"Okay, I'll take a look when I get back. If you have any questions about how to operate the phone, you can ask me."
"Yan," Wei Yunzhi's voice was trembling, "You...you today..."
Li Yan was a little nervous at first, feeling like he had become the male lead in a romance drama, and his ears felt a little hot. The little beauty's hesitating made him feel nervous as well.
"So handsome..."
The girl's eyes lit up and she looked at Li Yan with her lips pursed.
So you also know how to hit someone in the heart?
Since then, the love legend of New Taipei Middle School has a new version.
No one knew what happened in that brief meeting between the two of them that day, and Wei Yunzhi also kept the one-of-a-kind rose dragon very low-key.
Leaving blank space is the best storytelling technique. Everyone can imagine the beautiful stories of youth, regardless of whether they are true or false.
But even the most beautiful and outrageous version of this is not as exciting as the truth.
Li Yan's original plan was to go to the sales point after leaving school, but he didn't dare to ask driver Gao to stop along the way...
There are too many people here.
If Li Yan dared to show up, it should be the pro plus max version in school.
When he thought about it, he felt that being a star was not easy and it required a period of adaptation.
Li Yan is not averse to being in the spotlight, but in comparison he prefers to be a mysterious boss behind the scenes.
When people mention Mr. Li’s name, they are a little in awe, but don’t be as fanatical as a fan of a star.
Fanaticism will lead to the loss of reason, and Li Yan does not like his followers to be in this state.
When he returned to the office, Sun Miao had already prepared a stack of information to report.
"Just give me the total number. Leave the details here. I'll take a look at them later."
"You mean the data at this stage is not important, and it will be worth analyzing after the release at nine o'clock..."
"Don't imagine so many things." Li Yan waved her hand.
"Okay, the current queue data is estimated to be..." Sun Miao continued.
"Don't report estimated figures." Li Yan waved his hand again.
Sun Miao was confused and continued his task of "figuring out Mr. Li's ideas".
The closer it got to this time, the calmer Li Yan became.
Although the current situation is not very peaceful...it is mainly due to other reasons.
The previous data can be said to be a bit inflated, as the people queuing up are not actors.
Considering "whether you can succeed" and "how high you can go" are completely different pressures.
Li Yan just needs to wait, wait for all the data to be summarized to him, and wait for a sales data statistics table.
Or just wait for the future technology carnival.
Success is already destined, all we can do is wait.
Linjiang’s release time was eventually moved forward by five minutes because the enthusiasm was too high and Li Yan needed to give some positive response.
The so-called "having an attitude".
Just ten minutes after the sale, Li Yan heard cheers coming from somewhere in another building. Several ministers were already preparing to report the data to Li Yan, but their enthusiasm was shattered by Li Yan's indifference.
"Ten minutes later, the queue is still not full. There are still many procedures required to sell a mobile phone. The current data should have been expected as early as 7 o'clock this morning."
Li Yan said so.
It’s nothing, just outputting some logic.
They didn't know that Li Yan had already set up a data collection system when he was setting up the store, and his computer was updating the sales situation of every store across the country in real time.
It’s not that they all didn’t know. Sun Miao and Liu Liwei, who were involved in this work, knew it very well, so they didn’t ask.
When it comes to sales situation, no one knows it more promptly than Li Yan.
Throughout the entire day, Li Yan was mentally analyzing various sales data while writing code to replace his current mental analysis.
In fact, it is not very necessary. This work can support a department, and Li Yan did set up such a department.
There really wasn't much else to do that day, and it was really addictive to watch the numbers keep going up.
Although I couldn't escape the stage of numbness in the end.
It was a chaotic day, with everyone's emotions rising and falling, and Li Yan's mind was full of numbers.
How many stores are there in Xinbei, how many in Linjiang, how many in the whole country, how many units are sold in which region, and how many units are sold per store on average...
His brain has such good computing power that Li Yan could even calculate how long it takes on average to sell one unit.
In fact, these data are meaningless. The differences between different regions have been analyzed before the release.
Linjiang is naturally the base camp, and the two economically developed cities of Xinbei and Xin'an are the main forces among the main forces. The other rules are also very simple, everything depends on the level of economic development.
This kind of data analysis is just for fun at the current stage. What surprised Li Yan more were Lincheng and Shangjing. Lincheng was very popular during the pre-order stage, but when it was actually on sale, it was only popular for a period of time at the beginning, and it became sluggish in less than half a day.
However, the data of Shangjing, which Li Yan thought would be secretly boycotted, is getting better and better.
But none of this matters, Li Yan only cares about the overall data.
As long as the sales exceed 10 million units, it will be considered as the "safety line" for him.
At least there is no problem in getting the investment back, and there is an explanation to the investors.
The result was something no one expected.
For other companies, this goal would be "a miracle if achieved within one year", but on the first day, 10% of it was completed.
From nine in the morning to nine at night, there are actually only twelve hours.
One million units, strictly speaking, one million and one hundred and seventy thousand units.
Li Yan has set up nearly 150 stores, which averages out to...
There is no need to average, otherwise it would be unfair to the store clerks in New Taipei who are so busy that they fall asleep.
Even with the most thorough mental preparation, this result is still beyond imagination.
Sales of a single mobile phone exceeded one million units, which is an amazing achievement for a company with annual sales of tens of millions units.
Adding the prefix "first day" would only take a few minutes to trigger public opinion.
Li Yan was still sorting out the data, while others had already sent out their promotional materials.
After looking around, most of them are similar, and fall into three categories: listing data to illustrate how astonishing the achievement is, talking about the purchasing experience and the feelings after receiving the product from the consumer's perspective, and looking through history and integrating resources to tell stories from the past.
It was not until a word caught her eye that Li Yan left the computer contentedly, changed into more formal clothes and walked towards the celebration banquet.
The title of the article on the computer screen only has four big words: Step to Success.
