Chapter 332 I am Li Yan
Kaiyuan laughed loudly and felt much more relaxed, so he started chatting:
“I am quite curious. It turns out that you are not ready to continue to develop your online writing career. "Why did you come here specially?" Kaiyuan has a funny habit of shaking his body when he relaxes. "I remember you said that you try to save trouble in everything you do."
"Come and play." "Yeah."
Kaiyuan was speechless.
"Okay, the actual reason is that I want to further enhance my influence on the Internet by showing up at the annual meeting."
"Uh... just to show off?"
If this was a normal question, Kaiyuan's words would hit Li Yan's artery.
But this time it’s really not the case. It’s just to further strengthen the impression that “Li Yan can succeed in anything”.
It is actually unclear how much effect this will have on subsequent negotiations and what impact it will have on the performance of the Developer Conference.
metaphysics.
But anyway, it only takes a day and a half to eat, drink and have fun, and it doesn’t cost much time.
After looking at it for a long time, Li Yan actually walked to the banquet hall that had been replaced by afternoon tea, and went straight to the freshly squeezed juice.
"How much do you love drinking this..."
"When I think about drinking tea repeatedly in the next trip, I can't help but want to balance it now."
"Drinking tea again and again? What are you doing?"
"Finding someone to discuss cooperation with Mr. Huang, the founder of Chuangzu. This is also the second reason why I came to the annual meeting - just by the way."
< br>Kaiyuan was stunned again.
A familiar feeling crept into his heart. Every time he saw Li Yan sending such pretentious and outrageous words, and expressing them in a matter-of-fact and calm tone, he would always laugh in front of the computer. , and quickly replied:
You are really into the drama.
For a long time, he was the one who got too involved in the drama. To be honest, he was pretending to be an audience member who thought others were acting.
How can there be such a person who pretends to be as natural as drinking water...
Everything is perfect, Dove spokesperson.
Kaiyuan originally wanted to complain about Li Yan's pretense, but suddenly realized that maybe Li Yan didn't want to be pretentious at all.
It's just that the level has gone up, and the things he says are just pretentious things in the eyes of ordinary people.
Just like a super rich man, when talking about food, clothing, housing and transportation, if he tells the truth, he is pretending, if he talks about it, it is still pretending, and if he talks about it openly, he is still pretending.
If Kaiyuan really asks, Li Yan will have to make a statement.
He did deliberately show off. This is a knowledge and a technology.
Just because he is too silky, you cannot think that he is an innate pretentious person and ignore his efforts.
"Promise me, if there is a next book, it will be about cities." Kaiyuan thought for a long time and said this.
"Just writing to show off?" Li Yan said seriously, "That's like writing a diary, 50,000 words a day!"
"Fifty...50,000 words?" Kaiyuan was shocked, "Pretentious You still have to pretend to be so powerful.”
“No, this is bragging.”
Originally, Kaiyuan was planning to invite Li Yan to play games and chat with the authors. Unexpectedly, Li Yan's trip to the annual meeting only lasted for one lunch.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, he said goodbye to Kaiyuan.
"Here, at least wait until after the dinner before leaving."
"There are too many things to do, I made an appointment with Mr. Huang."
He came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Li Yan left the hotel at a trot, smiled and got into a shiny black Mercedes-Benz.
"I thought it had to be a Rolls-Royce..." Kaiyuan stood at the door of the hotel and looked at it, then suddenly sighed, "How exciting this guy's life is."
"Have a good time?" Huang Zhan, who was also in the back seat, looked in good spirits.
"It's okay, I drank five glasses of juice."
"...What kind of special juice is it?"
"No..." Li Yan didn't expect it Huang Zhan actually wanted to continue this topic, which made him embarrassed.
"It's like you are going through the motions." Huang Zhan smiled.
"Maximize the value." Li Yan shrugged, "Let's go next..."
"A screen manufacturer, a person who makes input methods, and friends who make operator-customized machines, you can see Look at their use of the Robert system - although their products have not yet been officially released. At present, several major domestic smartphone manufacturers... some are studying the win system, and some are studying the Robert system. Naturally, the ones that use the win system best are those created by us. Clan, the research and development of w9 is also in full swing... I told you, I can't help but start analyzing."
"I remember that the screen of Chuangzu is not from Shanghai?"< br>
“I’ve contacted him a long time ago, and he still pays more attention to interests. Shanghai is a company that focuses on research. We are working on a few concept machines this time, but we can’t afford them, so we might as well take the technical cooperation route.”
"Okay, Mr. Huang still has a car in Shanghai?"
"I'm thinking too much. I've never been here before. This is arranged by Chuangzu Shanghai Sales Center."
"They should be very happy, right? The big boss is here in person."
"Don't You’re joking, and you don’t care about the current situation of the founding clan.” Huang Zhan sighed, “This is a time when our sincerity’s survival is at stake...”
Perhaps he felt that it was inappropriate to say depressing words at this time, so Huang Zhan switched again. changed the topic, "Li Yan, you don't have to do it at this age... do everything based on interests and consider the value of something. You can be willful."
"So I drink Five glasses of juice.”
"Uh...you want to explain?"
"I like it, so I drink it."
"...that's fine."
Seeing that Li Yan didn't continue. What, Huang Zhan asked again: "Do you have any other plans? It's not easy to come to Shanghai."
This is really not what a technology company boss should say...
"It seems like this is not far from Sprout Magazine, right?"
"Huh?"
"I participated in their new concept essay competition in June last year and won the first prize. As a result, they I was directly invited to participate in the October live competition without sending the certificate. On the one hand, I had a lot to do at that time and I didn’t have much time; on the other hand, this new concept essay competition was not valuable enough for me.”
"You didn't go to the competition?"
"Yes, but they really didn't send me the certificate. Just take a look and get it if you drop by. If not, forget it."
< br>
The driver was a steady middle-aged man in his forties, "Okay, let me check the navigation."
"No need," unexpectedly Li Yan raised her hand to stop her, "Just drive all the way. If I see the logo of Sprout Magazine, I will go down and get it. If I don’t see it, forget it.”
So free?
Seeing Huang Zhan's surprised face, Li Yan yawned, "Mr. Huang, isn't that what you said, be more willful."
"Any more?"
"I'm thinking about whether to go to Shanghai Jiaotong University and visit the team that is also working on a food delivery website."
"Oh?" Huang Zhan is not familiar with this area, but has seen Li Yan show his results. , "I thought you were only going to find a map company when it comes to this matter, Shangjing Weide."
"Forget it."
Huang Zhan found that he was really not very good at keeping up with Li Yan's thoughts.
“They are just a team of college students who talk about concepts. Their technical level should not be as high as ours. Their concepts are almost the same and their progress is slower than ours. There is no need.”
"It's up to you."
This so-called screen manufacturer in Shanghai is actually just a research team, backed by the Shanghai Information Research Center, and cooperates with domestic mobile phone brands in Shanghai to conduct research—— However, currently domestic mobile phone brands are basically concentrated in Beijing.
It seems that the positioning is the product of research and breakthroughs that are leading the current era. In fact, it is to provide low-end products with more explosive price/performance ratio to mobile phone manufacturers who are cooperating with operators to achieve cost-effectiveness.
There are many young and ambitious players in this team, so they welcome Huang Zhan's arrival, but don't care much about Li Yan's appearance.
The entire trip to Shanghai and Hainan was basically carried out in this atmosphere.
Everyone welcomed Huang Zhan very much. During the exchange, three sentences were inseparable from the word "cooperation", and then they began to denounce the so-called appearance patent of Pineapple Company.
Then they slowly discovered why Huang Zhan kept asking this young man for his opinion?
Li Yan actually rarely talks. He basically listens to what these companies can do and what achievements they have made, especially in the two major areas of screen production and Robert system applications. The main battlefields of the visit with Huang Zhan were Shangjing and Xin'an, a base camp for smartphones and a high-tech upstart.
Shanghai is a testing ground, so Li Yan can have some confidence.
He had to erase some information gaps before he knew how much he could reveal now.
Just enough to attract others without making yourself passive.
The screen is easier than imagined. The most difficult multi-touch capacitor is no longer a technical difficulty now. It is not difficult to have a big screen. The key is how to adapt.
Putting it into production is another important consideration. Simply making a concept phone that can be lit up and used can be done - especially after Li Yan emphasized that "there is no need for the latest and most top-notch screen."
With the current level of domestic industry, top-notch products cannot be produced. Things that meet the lower limit of demand are really within easy reach.
It's just that people don't quite understand why Huang Zhan wants such a big screen.
The screen of a mobile phone is so big, and with the buttons on the casing, how can it be held in the hand?
"Is this why you asked me to come to them?" Huang Zhan did not expect that they would agree to the development of a large screen so quickly.
After all, I don’t have much money.
“Even the companies that cooperate with you on w8 are not willing to do this kind of small research orders, let alone the big companies in Shangjing.” Li Yan seemed to be thinking, “And for them, Mr. Huang's "experimental product"... may cause some unnecessary speculation."
"That's not an unnecessary guess." Huang Zhan smiled and patted Li Yan on the shoulder.
"That being said, when the time comes to go to Beijing, I still have to find everything I need. It doesn't matter, the screen has been negotiated, then there will be one here and one in New Taipei..."
< br>"Huh? Is there another piece in New Taipei?" Huang Zhan was surprised.
"Of course, be prepared."
"I'm not asking this, who is making screens in New Taipei?" How come Huang Zhan hadn't heard of it when he was looking for someone to make screens?
"Beixing Optoelectronics." Li Yan said, "I used to be a project research group, working at the New Taipei Institute of Optoelectronics, and researching screens. Because I focus on project research, it is not troublesome to help with the entire special-sized screen."
< br>"Did you contact him yourself?"
"Chen Fan's father is the director of the New Taipei Institute of Optoelectronics."
"Oh..." Huang Zhan felt more and more like chatting with this junior high school student. , I have no experience of communicating with younger generations.
The current way of cooperation between the two is actually quite special, very, very non-commercial and informal.
Huang Zhan must personally represent Chuangzu Technology. His visits to these companies have strong business significance no matter how you say it.
What about Li Yan?
Huang Zhan introduced him to others as a "genius boy", and others didn't pay much attention to Li Yan.
Both of them realized the embarrassing situation of "identity".
Li Yan is not a member of the Founding Clan, nor does he receive any salary from the Founding Clan. Huang Zhan seems to have taken Li Yan to visit in his own name.
The link between them turned out to be "trust."
A thing that is not very valuable in the commercial field.
When Huang Zhan was communicating with these companies, he actually hesitated when asked "Why are you here?"
Chuangzu is currently facing internal and external troubles, and the research and development of w9 is also at a critical moment. With the influence of pineapple, w8’s overseas layout has been eliminated and even production has been required. I’m afraid there is no need to wait until 2011.
If w9 cannot be launched this year to turn the tide, Chuangzu will have an exciting roller coaster ride.
At this time, as a soul figure, I followed a junior high school student around, aiming to use the remaining two months to build a "smartphone of the future."
Not to mention whether it can be done or not, even if it can be done, it is still a concept machine.
So many mobile phone companies are working hard now. Maybe they will have a few products that can be put on the market by the end of the year. So what if Li Yan really makes a blockbuster appearance at the press conference?
Taking a step back, if earth-shattering results are achieved, what will the founding family gain? What can Huang Zhan get?
After talking with Li Yan all night long, Huang Zhan has been thinking about these issues.
But finally he came.
Because he is a person who always believes in his own judgment and what he lacks most is courage.
MP3 will be launched as soon as you are told, and withdrawn as soon as you are told. Smartphones will be made as soon as you are told. It will be China's most awesome product.
And now his judgment is - Li Yan's concept has the opportunity to change history.
This judgment somewhat resonates with the fact that he and Li Yan are both idealists.
On the way to the next location, Huang Zhan sat in the car, his thoughts gradually wandering.
In January this year, Lianxiang released a Robert system smartphone in the United States. Although it is a bit difficult to evaluate the smoothness of use and the appearance is not in line with Huang Zhan's aesthetics, the functions are indeed very complete. It’s okay to say “powerful” right now.
Some people have already entered the high-end mobile phone market. The product has even been released at a press conference. It will definitely be released in China within half a year.
The Robert system is open source, free, and fast to optimize. Combined with cooperation with operators to launch customized machines, it can be cost-effective.
This also gives many manufacturers a shortcut to enter the market, and everyone wants a piece of this cake.
Nokia's successors are visible to the naked eye. Major foreign mobile phone manufacturers are ready to launch their latest smartphones. Everyone's interest in large-screen touch-screen smartphones is being ignited. The entire society is in the transition from functional phones to The transition to smartphones.
Everyone wants to be the master of this blue ocean.
This 2010 may be the era of smartphone war.
He is obviously the forerunner...
Wait.
He suddenly looked at Li Yan. This kid still hasn't explained why he is rushing to build a concept phone in June and why he is rushing to attend the developer conference. Is it because he wants to get ahead of the melee?
What can you do with a concept machine that is not ready for production?
Huang Zhan suddenly felt an electric shock in his head. If even Lianxiang’s mobile phone, whose biggest advantage was its “complete functions” at the beginning of this year, could be expected by so many people.
So what about the concept phone that Li Yan is going to build?
He felt anxious and excited at the same time.
He even became more active during subsequent visits.
Looking at Li Yan, he looked confused. Why is Boss Huang a recluse and a homebody as promised?
The founder of Sugou Input Method unexpectedly welcomed Li Yan very much, because he was also the gold medal winner of the Youth Xin'ao International Competition that year. Facing the juniors who were ranked first with the international geniuses, he naturally took care of him. There are plus.
Li Yan asked a lot of technical questions, and he answered them very seriously.
So Li Yan also explained his intention and had an in-depth discussion with him on the development of smartphone input methods.
We had such a happy chat that the boss of Sogou insisted on inviting us to lunch.
Then it was time to leave Shanghai.
What? Isn’t there a friend who is researching Robert System mobile phones?
Yes, people temporarily fell in love with Huang Zhan.
The words "commercial secrets" are indispensable in many words.
Li Yan was speechless. Why would he agree in the first place? And he remains pessimistic about his subsequent study at the Shangjing Smartphone Development Base Camp.
“The structure is not enough.” Huang Zhan’s reaction was very bland, “There are not so many secrets. If you want to do well in this industry, everyone must share with each other. Using open source resources like Robert System, he also put his so-called "Experience" is a treasure, and it makes people laugh and be generous. "
The words he said... still sounded a bit emotional.
Anyway, this short trip is over.
Huang Zhan went home directly. He didn’t want to stay in the annoying company for the time being.
Let's keep worrying about it tomorrow. Tonight, put on a vinyl record and listen to some classical music. Then put a big ice ball in the glass and drink some whiskey.
Do nothing.
After sitting there for a while, he got up and turned on the computer.
Then I clicked on Weibo by accident.
The latest content of the account "Li YanY" forwarded the annual meeting record of "Origin Chinese Network", and the time showed "17:14 pm" - this was forwarded just after arriving at the dormitory.
Then he wrote: Yes, I am the author of "Nangong Boy".
Huang Zhan drank up the sip of wine at the bottom of the cup and chanted slowly:
"The dragon lurks in the hidden blue waves and mixes with the shrimp. Wait for it to turn around and shake. "Thunderbolt shook the mountains and rivers."
After reciting, he shook his head.
“I haven’t seen how this kid can hide.”
