Chapter 898: Daily Life

In the office building of Wanyin International, Wang Yan, dressed in company uniform, was practicing boxing, stretching his arms and kicking his legs, turning and moving, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

Having experienced the transition from old age to prime of life once again, the abundant strength made Wang Yan feel unaccustomed, because his thinking was still stuck in the time when he walked slowly. So he was practicing boxing, letting his qi and blood surge, refreshing his spirit, in order to adapt to his strong body.

Wang Yan

Attributes: Strength 34

Agility 34

Constitution 34

Spirit 114

Unallocated points 5

He was distracted, summoning the attribute panel that had accompanied him for a thousand years.

Just like before, the previous four attribute points were added to Spirit. This time, he had created another powerful empire, making the common people eat and live well, and he had obtained another five free attribute points. It was the same old story; he would keep them for emergencies.

His constitution was now quite powerful. In the Three Kingdoms world, he had lived to be 134 years old without illness or disaster, with nimble legs and feet. Even at this age, he could kill two or three elite soldiers.

In fact, he could have continued to live, but he felt a sense of powerlessness, and his body functions accelerated their degradation—the more they degraded, the more they degraded. His powerful spirit and mysterious sixth sense made him feel his limit. 138 years old—this was his limit.

And after 134 years old, the complete decay of qi and blood meant he could no longer guarantee a healthy body; he would start to get sick and start to be bedridden for long periods, unable to control his bowel movements, which was naturally not what he wanted, so he came back.

In terms of skills, the greatest progress should be in medicine, but at his level, significant improvement was impossible; it could only be said that it gave him some new inspiration and some new understanding of diseases.

Another harvest was the cultural and artistic achievements developed because of the prosperity of the empire. Ideological trends surged for a hundred years, and the hundred schools of thought fought for a hundred years. Under Wang Yan's strong suppression, it could only be a group of big shots spraying each other, arguing in all directions, which was quite exciting. It was precisely in the spraying that new culture and art were constantly improved and developed.

Wang Yan had been here for so many years, relying on this group of sprayers to relieve boredom. These cultures and arts were naturally the essence, originating from the wisdom of talented people generation after generation. Wang Yan learned humbly, which couldn't be called improving himself, but it enriched his knowledge base even more.

After practicing a set of boxing for over twenty minutes, Wang Yan made tea in his thermos cup again, sat in front of the computer, flipped through various emails, and recalled the previous progress.

More than a hundred years was indeed too long, so long that it took up one-tenth of his life length. No matter how good his memory was, he still had to adapt, sort things out, and recall.

Now the development of various undertakings was quite good, and there were only a few major blocks in total.

In terms of artificial intelligence, various project teams had been built, and professional R&D personnel involved in all aspects of artificial intelligence were carrying out research work. Consumer business mainly revolved around smart homes: "Yiyi" was a language database, "Zhixiang" was interactive integration, and the remaining various smart products were branches.

Because Wang Yan had dug up mature teams, various smart products on the market were constantly being launched, from small things like switches and power strips to large things like air conditioners and televisions. Anyway, things that could be used in the house were all being researched.

However, for products like refrigerators, air conditioners, and water heaters that didn't need much interaction for the time being, Wang Yan didn't research them separately. He mainly focused on software, looking for manufacturers to cooperate and co-brand, and controlling the quality.

Now Long Teng still had some face; after all, it was a state-level large enterprise, and it was quite special, as those who were well-informed knew. Furthermore, it was a money-making business. Hanging the Long Teng Home label meant a different price—expensive and quite solid.

In just one short year, Long Teng had made quality deeply rooted in people's hearts, making people accept Long Teng's arrogant and high prices. The main thing was the comparison: the same goods in China and abroad, no matter what it was, were more expensive when sold abroad. It even reached the point of diplomacy, becoming a global hit, saving a sky-high marketing fee, and everyone knew Long Teng.

As for things like televisions that had interaction, they had to be self-developed. Of course, saying self-developed was still industrial chain integration. It was integrating the highest-end mass production technology in China, and then adding some of their own things to create differences, mainly relying on software support.

Even when it came to televisions, Wang Yan didn't need to be so fancy; just one thing—no ads—was enough. Moreover, televisions were also an important part of matching the whole-house intelligence, and they sold very well.

Still the same sentence: for everything he made, even down to a screw, he had complete technology. As long as he set up a production line, he could mass-produce it.

He had now properly mixed for over a thousand years and could achieve complete self-sufficiency and self-industrial circulation. From agriculture to industry, to high-tech industries, to aerospace—as long as it was an aspect he was involved in, he had the technology. This was his accumulation, the gift of time.

Of course, the main thing was that he had the heart, found a new sustenance, and more importantly, had the "Living Father" caring for his good big son...

Now the development of smart homes was quite good. From the 800 million revenue after the press conference to some bloggers consciously going to the experience store opened in Lin'an to shoot and promote, which generated influence, and then pushed to the concerned crowd through the video platform's algorithm—whether it was those who took plans or those who bought single items to replace the existing ones in their homes, it had increased quite a bit. Sales were increasing day by day. In the past half a month, another 200 million had been sold.

Using the price advantage of high added value, as well as full prepayment and production according to orders, smart homes had already made a profit and made a lot of money.

However, it was still necessary to increase investment in the future to enrich the product line. Furthermore, these current things obviously weren't good enough and had great room for development.

Besides smart homes, there were game engines, as well as other mobile phones, computers, operating systems, and even cars, satellites, rockets, etc. These had all just been carried out for two months. Even in the aerospace field such as satellites and rockets, there were only a few people, and talents in this area were relatively scarce.

Overall, these were all losing money. There was also a clothing factory, as well as charity work, and even more party and group activities, all of which were expenses. The income from smart homes could be considered to be able to stably maintain the company's healthy operation; developing those projects was certainly impossible.

The main source of revenue still lies in the Body-Strengthening Pill; this thing is truly too useful, living up to the hundreds of years of research and development Wang Yan put into it. Sales are climbing steadily, and income is rising day by day.

Of course, Wang Yan's stall was laid out too large, and his main development funds were borrowed.

But it didn't matter; he could pay it back sooner or later. The country's confidence was even greater than his. The construction budget for the Suizhong general area had now been pulled from the initial 500 billion to 1.2 trillion. The land acquisition scope had also expanded from 1,200 square kilometers to 1,600 square kilometers.

Because more public facility construction, cultural landscape construction, national defense construction, and perfect and high-standard underground facility construction had been added, even three subway lines had been planned, with an operating mileage of 120 kilometers.

Supporting facilities also had to be upgraded. Water, electricity, and energy were naturally the top priority, and many lines had to be renovated and upgraded. A high-standard airport also had to be newly built, and bus stations and train stations also had to be fully upgraded. Even a comprehensive university was approved for Long Teng, specifically to cultivate talents.

It belonged to the country fully considering Long Teng, with high-standard configuration.

Wang Yan had no objections; he would recognize however much money it took. Anyway, what he needed had already been planned, and there was room left, enough for future development, so there wouldn't be any major changes. It was also good to fully perfect the remaining ones.

Since the country was willing to advance the funds, how could he deny it? What money should be paid by him and what money shouldn't be paid by him, but supported by the country, was clear and understandable. Long Teng's public account was only responsible for passing the money once before it was transferred away again.

In fact, the country was very dedicated. Even if the initial budget of over 500 billion was implemented, the stimulating effect on the economy was quite significant. Not to mention that the budget had now been pulled to over 1 trillion, and they were still looking for places to spend money. For the driving of the local economy and the catalysis of the overall economy, it had a quite significant role.

The most fundamental reason was that this was not the country's left-hand-to-right-hand regulation, but the real spending of Wang Yan's company, which was half state-owned. Although the money was all from the country, the one paying it back was Long Teng, and the source of this money was the rich people at home and abroad.

In other words, the country could now issue so much money without side effects to be used in other places; this was national wealth that had already been determined to increase. Of course, things certainly weren't that simple, but that was the general idea.

Now Suizhong and Xingcheng were already a huge construction site, and many places had already started construction, with very rapid movements. Some people even suggested that they didn't want the grain anymore and should just push all the land and start construction comprehensively.

This was naturally correct. Although it was indeed wasteful, if calculated according to the economic account, the gap between that little grain and starting construction four months early was huge.

The local masses certainly agreed. After all, planting land wasn't just done once it was planted; there was still a lot of work in the fields. It had only been two months since it was planted, and they could get the whole year's income early; they were one hundred percent willing.

Compensation methods were currently being discussed, and it was almost a foregone conclusion; it would start comprehensively soon.

Overall, the company's development was flourishing and growing day by day.

After reading the emails and various records, which evoked past memories, Great Wang Zong also successfully became Chairman Wang, successfully switching roles.

Wang Yan thought about it and called Zhao Fu.

Zhao Fu was having a relatively better time now. The number of party members within the company began to increase, and party affairs also increased. Wang Yan fully supported various party activities, the party dues were very abundant, and Wang Yan didn't pursue short, flat, and fast business development, and also provided a lot of extra time.

At the same time, he could also mobilize the power of the company's charity fund. By communicating with Wei Lan, he also began to get busy, but he was quite happy. To put it highly, his ability and value were displayed; to put it narrowly, his political achievements were guaranteed.

Most importantly, there was no formalism here in Wang Yan's place; there was absolutely no idea of responding to the central government. Although in the eyes of his subordinates, these things were useless, Wang Yan insisted that it must be that the work hadn't been done in place yet.

Ideological work, to put it bluntly, is brainwashing. But on the other hand, what isn't brainwashing? The various so-called masterpieces one reads are all written by others. If one reads them in, one is washed. If one listens to what others say and listens in, one is also washed. Watching short videos and various bloggers' remarks is still being washed, because they are all converging with others.

Life is spent in the process of being constantly brainwashed. The important thing is to find one's own things in it, which is not a simple matter.

Knocking on the door and entering the office, Zhao Fu greeted: "Chairman Wang."

"Sit." Wang Yan gestured with his chin for him to sit opposite the desk and said, "I mentioned it to you once before; our company's intelligent recognition technology is very powerful. However, there are no connections in this area, so it's not easy to carry out work, and there are many influences. Now that our headquarters has landed in Suizhong, there shouldn't be any problems in Huludao. You go and make contact. If possible, then connect it.

The advantage is still very strong. As I told you, it can regulate traffic flow, and it can also be networked with fire and emergency services for route regulation. Accident monitoring and alarm, violent incident alarm, etc. Although it can't be said to be mature, with our artificial intelligence technology, the foundation is still very solid. It can be developed in two months, and it can run as soon as it goes online.

In the future, our own headquarters area will also use this set of systems."

Zhao Fu nodded knowingly: "No problem, I'll contact Huludao in a while to see what they mean."

"That's the matter. How is the recent work? Is it going smoothly?"

"Smoothly, all thanks to the support of Chairman Wang and Chairman Wei. Then I won't disturb you anymore; I'll go and make contact."

Zhao Fu didn't talk much and got up to leave.

In fact, the administrative efficiency of the Huludao government was very high now, and public security was very good. Of course, the public security of the whole country was very good, but now Huludao was even better. Because now the eyes were all on Suizhong, for Huludao, even if they couldn't intercept Long Teng's taxes to fill the treasury, just relying on Long Teng to develop high-tech industrial clusters could have great political achievements. And Huludao's city status would also gradually climb.

But under the gathering of eyes, it was easy to find problems. Once there were problems, it was definitely the leader's responsibility. So now Huludao was also very harmonious. The people who came to handle affairs were surprised to find that the efficiency was surprisingly high, and the attitude was also surprisingly good.

In fact, when they were sweeping away evil and eliminating evil in Suizhong and Xingcheng earlier, they also carried out actions in the whole city of Huludao, including other towns.

It wasn't that the city wasn't safe, and it wasn't that the previous actions weren't thorough, but that they had to show an attitude of handling affairs, which was important.

Under the attention of the whole country, if there were any small problems, they would be magnified under the impact of public opinion. Even if people weren't removed, a few had to be dealt with.

So in fact, Huludao didn't need this system now, but they had to have it...

Wang Yan handled some more affairs, and when it was time to get off work, he went downstairs to call Wei Lan. The couple was laughing and chatting, greeting employees all the way, went downstairs, and drove home.

Now they weren't driving the BMW sponsored by the father-in-law, because Wei Lan was six months pregnant and it was inconvenient to have a big belly. The Mercedes business car they bought earlier came in handy, with more space and more comfortable seats.

Wang Yan was the driver in the front, and Wei Lan sat in the second-row seat, which was quite comfortable.

"How do you feel? Are you tired?"

Fastening his seatbelt and starting the car, Wang Yan asked his daily greeting.

Wei Lan sighed: "I'm not tired, but I'm getting fatter day by day. You say, what if I can't lose weight in the future?"

By the time she finished speaking, Wei Lan was already speaking in the Shaanxi dialect of her hometown.

But it was indeed true. Wei Lan had been visibly getting fatter these past few months, gaining a big circle. Originally less than 1.7 meters and a little over 100 jin, she suddenly gained 30 jin, and she was anxious every day.

"You can definitely lose it, don't be anxious. Who doesn't gain ten or twenty jin when pregnant? Without so much nutrition, how can the baby have nutrition? You have two in your belly. You'll be fifteen jin lighter as soon as you give birth. I'll nurse you well during the confinement month, and then run with me afterward; you'll lose it in less than two months."

Wang Yan also said in the Shaanxi dialect with a smile to tease Wei Lan, and then asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"You decide, I feel uncomfortable just thinking about eating."

"Three more months, persistence is victory. How is the Chinese medicine company?" Wang Yan played some soothing music, drove the car unhurriedly on the crowded road during the evening rush hour, and very directly changed the subject.

They had a relatively clear division of labor. He was responsible for products and strategy, and Wei Lan handled administrative affairs, was responsible for implementation, and came to him if she couldn't solve it.

"It's in the final stage, no big problems, there will be results in these few days."

Without Wang Yan needing to ask further, Wei Lan began to talk about her work achievements: "Long Teng's name and trademark, etc., have all been solved. That real estate company in Shu Province cost 20 million; Chairman Zhao helped communicate, but they didn't slaughter us too hard. The design company has also been communicated well; they are implementing the design house by house for the masses whose land was occupied, and the progress is quite smooth.

This time the country strongly supported it, and the action was very fast. The planning of the residential area has been completed. I asked people to make a program for drawing land plots, and it will be done in two days. After the land plots are drawn, the design company will arrange for designers to connect with our employees directly.

Party and group activities have been carried out twice, still in the surrounding areas. Chairman Zhao said it had an effect, and the employees' enthusiasm has improved a lot, and they are not so resistant anymore.

The charity fund side, after the loan given to us was approved, wasn't it injected with capital again? It has been expanding its scale, the same as before, and nothing has gone wrong.

Oh, by the way, there is also Sun Yi. The sportswear for the children and our work clothes have all been made. She designed new clothes with the designers under her, and produced samples to sell live. It was okay. She put out the Long Teng brand. Long Teng's heat hasn't been high recently, and there were quite a few people, and some were sold, but the effect was not very ideal, and there were quite a few people mocking us."

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, we have people specifically keeping a small notebook, we'll know later."

He was following formal procedures, not privately investigating citizens' information. The saying about keeping a small notebook was naturally a joke; in fact, it was the company's legal department, which had divided a group of people to specifically do this, which was the blacklist system mentioned earlier. People on the blacklist couldn't buy their products... ===== CHAPTER 899 =====
