Chapter 457 456. Goodbye 1999
When the warm winter sun shone into the room through the window, Jennifer slowly opened her eyes.

Yesterday was Christmas Eve, but it was not a peaceful day at all.

But I also received a gift from Chen Li'an last night, which was full of gifts.

Jennifer touched her lower abdomen subconsciously, and now she can still recall the heat last night.

I hope to receive a real surprise when the new millennium approaches.

Chen Li'an also woke up at this time and looked at Jennifer sitting up and hugging her from behind while bathing in the sun.

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Li'an asked with a smile.

Jennifer shook her head and said nothing. She was immersed in beautiful fantasy just now.

Chen Li'an didn't continue to ask. Today was Christmas, and he still had to think about how to arrange the evening.

Soon they got up, washed and dressed and went out together.

Jennifer wants to have a simple date with Chen Li'an like ordinary people, go shopping, eat, watch movies, whatever.

Chen Li'an is naturally willing to have such a simple date, which is plain but warm and has a little romance for two people.

It’s just that time flies by quickly and Christmas passes by inadvertently.

After Christmas, New York gets busy again.

For them, the new year has begun, but for Chen Li'an, it's still a little early.

Returning to China for New Year’s Eve. This year is the turn of the century. What a rare opportunity.

Chen Li'an wants to celebrate the New Year with his children and take them to see the new century.

In fact, Chen Li'an still wants to spend the New Year's Eve with his girls, but this is not realistic.

There may be opportunities in the future, but certainly not now.

New Year's Eve was coming in three days. Chen Li'an was planning to go back immediately, but the sudden appearance of Sophie Marceau temporarily put his plan on hold.

Sophie Marceau just happened to come to New York, so it makes no sense not to meet her. Chen Li'an also misses her very much.

It’s better to wait until the last day to go back to China for New Year’s Eve.

However, Sophie Marceau doesn't have much time. She only has one day to rest. Her new movie 007 has just been released and she has been busy promoting it.

It is not easy to squeeze out a day this time.

It's just that the meeting between the two was extremely hasty. It was already past ten in the morning when Sophie Marceau got off the plane in New York.

Chen Li'an had lunch together after receiving her. Sophie Marceau ate in a hurry, as if she didn't have time to eat in the morning.

Chen Li'an kept cutting steaks for her, but he didn't eat much himself.

After Sophie Marceau finished the last piece of steak, she breathed a sigh of satisfaction. After drinking all the wine in the glass, she wiped her mouth and looked at Chen Li'an and said, "What time is it now?"

Chen Li'an raised his hand, glanced at it and said, "Twelve and five minutes."

"Time is running out, we have to hurry up." Sophie Marceau put down the napkin and pulled Chen Li'an out.

Chen Li'an asked in confusion: "Where are you going?"

Sophie Marceau pulled Chen Li'an back to look at him and said, "I'm flying to Los Angeles tonight. We only have less than five hours. Where do you want to go?"

"Okay, I understand." Chen Li'an immediately followed Sophie Marceau quickly.

Time is indeed very tight. There is too little that can be done in five hours, but there are many things that can be done.

Chen Li'an didn't like this feeling very much. It was like a hasty breakfast and a mess.

But being able to fill her stomach made Sophie Marceau very satisfied, but she was a little nostalgic and didn't want to leave.

Chen Li'an stroked her face, brushed the hair from her forehead and said, "After this promotion, will you still have work? Do you want to take a break?"

"Will you go on vacation together?" Sophie Marceau asked expectantly.

Chen Li'an nodded and said: "Of course, every time we meet is too hasty. After I finish attending Cannes next year, let's go traveling together."

Sophie Marceau immediately hugged Chen Li'an's neck and said, "Okay, then I won't be filming next year. It just so happens that I don't like that drama either."

"Then we have an agreement." Chen Li'an said, kissing her forehead.

"Of course! Maybe you can have a child. I hope it will succeed this time." Sophie Marceau said expectantly.

"Yes, but you have to stop smoking and drink less alcohol."

"Then you kill me, don't you also quit?"

"I'm already under control." Chen Li'an flicked Sophie Marceau's forehead and said, "Just try your best."

Sophie Marceau said helplessly: "Okay, I will work hard."

After getting along for a short time, Chen Li'an was about to send Sophie Marceau away.

After Chen Li'an watched Sophie Marceau get on the plane, he felt empty in his heart. Maybe it was because the time they spent together was too short.

Chen Li'an has always liked Sophie Marceau and her uninhibited character, which is different from all the girls Chen Li'an knows.

It is really like a rose with thorns, which is unforgettable.

Chen Li'an is already looking forward to next year. After Cannes is over, he can go to romantic Turkey, Tokyo and Paris with Sophie Marceau, and study the origin of life.

After Sophie Marceau left, Chen Li'an was also going back to China. As for Li Yinxin, she couldn't go with Chen Li'an this time.

Now she doesn't want to go with Chen Li'an. She is busy conquering Li Fuzhen. The two of them plan to go to Bali after the New Year.

Chen Li'an still didn't confess to Li Fuzhen before leaving. Li Yinxin kept blocking her, so Chen Li'an had no choice but to respect her idea. Since she wanted to solve Chen Li'an herself, she would not interfere.

Chen Li'an still has a lot of things to do, and the domestic Lixin mobile phone is still waiting to be released.

Chen Li'an's goal was not the international market from the beginning, but to establish a foothold in the country first, wait until Magic Flute continues to grow, and then use the influence of Magic Flute to promote mobile phones internationally.

Mobile phones are different from music players. Music player Chen Li'an is a no-brainer and can be directly promoted internationally.

But for mobile phones, it is too difficult for domestic brands to go global. It is better to develop slowly in China first.

On the plane back home, Chen Li'an looked at the information Li Dabai prepared for himself, which contained information about the island for sale to the outside world.

Each one lists the specific data and photos of the island in detail, and they all look very good.

There are also several small islands specially marked by Li Dabai and Li Yinxin. The scenery and area are very good, and Chen Li'an also likes them.

When you have time, you can take a look and decide whether to sell or not. Buying an island is not buying a house. You must conduct a thorough inspection before doing so.

Chen Li'an read the information for a while and then closed his eyes and rested, his mind reviewing the past year.

The year [-] actually passed quite quickly. Chen Li'an felt that he was so busy that if he didn't pay attention, a year would pass by.

I made several movies, acted in TV series, put on a variety show, opened a new company, listed a company on the market, and held an art exhibition.

This year's harvest is much more than in previous years.Chen Li'an didn't even know how he was so busy.

But after finishing the busy work of launching the Lixin mobile phone, I can take a complete rest.

Chen Li'an is looking forward to his retirement life!
More than ten hours later, the plane landed in Beijing. Chen Li'an breathed in the bad air in Beijing. The air was very grainy, but Chen Li'an felt as if he had drank coffee, which instantly refreshed him!

The smell of home!Back in my mother's arms.

After Chen Li'an came out of the airport, he got into work mode.

There is still one day before the New Year's Eve, and Chen Li'an has made arrangements for the launch of the Lixin mobile phone before the New Year's Eve.

Chen Li'an came to Lixin's original office in Beijing and found that it had changed drastically.

What was originally just a small station of a few dozen square meters is now a regular branch of nearly a thousand square meters.

Li Fuzhen did a lot of work that Chen Li'an didn't know about. Without Li Fuzhen, Chen Li'an's career would be at least half paralyzed.

If Li Fuzhen fails, Chen Li'an will not be able to retire even if he wants to.

Thinking of this, Chen Li'an wants to give himself two more slaps to make you want to waste your time!Now you know how to worry!
Chen Li'an sighed and walked into the office.

Everyone waiting for the meeting in the office heard Chen Li'an sigh, and they were all frightened to sit upright. The boss sighed before the meeting even started?

Is this dissatisfaction with the mobile phone?
Chen Li'an noticed their expressions and did not explain. The key was for the boss to remain mysterious.

"Let's talk about the specific plans and plans for the launch of the mobile phone." Chen Li'an sat down and looked at them and said.

"Mr. Chen, based on the previous VCD sales channels, we have now opened 35 offline stores, and have also joined shopping malls such as Gome Suning. Our sales points cover almost the whole country."

"In terms of promotion, TV advertisements and print media advertisements have been rolled out in all directions. Currently, there are five TV stations, more than 500 print media, and outdoor advertising exceeds [-] yuan."

"In addition, advertisements have been placed in several movies and TV series invested by Hong'an."

"The overall inventory is [-] mobile phones, and the production line can increase production capacity at any time. In terms of after-sales,"

Chen Li'an listened to their report and looked at the plan in his hand. Overall, he was quite satisfied. It is not popular in China to hold new phone launch conferences. There are not so many technology fans, so it would be a waste.

After listening to their reports, Chen Li'an added a few more points and asked for all the specific details before ending the meeting.

On New Year's Day, Lixin mobile phone was officially launched!
This speed is several months faster than that of Bird. Bird just obtained the mobile phone license not long ago, and it has not yet produced a mobile phone.

In this regard, Chen Li'an could only say one regret to Bird, as he would definitely be able to widen the gap with them by taking the first step.

It will probably take a lot of effort for Bird to catch up. The resources that Bird can use cannot compare with Lixin.

At least in China, the sales network owned by Lixin is incomparable to that of Waveguide. I really think that the former VCD boss was in vain.

Speaking of advertising, Bird cannot compare with Lixin, and Chen Li'an's resources cannot be compared with Bird.

Apart from anything else, Bird is unable to catch up because Asia Star is so popular and has helped Lixin Mobile become famous in advance.

As for domestic mobile phones, Chen Li'an is very confident that he will become the industry leader in the next few years.

As long as the follow-up research and development is not stretched, sooner or later it will be able to go abroad and go global!

Scientific research is just one word in Chen Li'an's concept!Throw money!
Use money to invest in talent and use money to invest in research and development!If you can't develop the technology, just give me money to buy it!
It doesn't matter even if Chen Li'an can't make any money from Lixin!
Just don't lose money. If the mobile phone industry loses money, it's not a small fortune. Chen Li'an can't afford to lose money. The bottom line is that profits and losses are even.

After arranging the Lixin mobile phone matter, Chen Li'an left the company.

Wait until after the New Year to hear the good news.

Chen Li'an left the company and went home directly instead of looking for his girls.

This period of time has been crazy enough, and now he just wants to sleep quietly.

When you wake up, go and spend time with your children.

On New Year's Eve, Chen Li'an set out from home, first to pick up Chen Mengli from Gong Lina's place, then to pick up his eldest son from Chen Meiren's place, and finally to pick up Sissi and Feifei from Liu Xiaoli's place.

Chen Li'an actually regrets naming his little girl Chen Feifei now. She always feels like calling her Sissy.

But the name has already been chosen, so what else can be done? If my daughter doesn’t like it when she grows up, let her change it herself.

Lao Chen's family is really prosperous now, and there may be new members next year.

Chen Li'an spent the whole day preparing a villa paradise for the children.

At night, Chen Li'an took the children out to set off fireworks with them.

Turn of the century fireworks must have been beautiful!

Several children were very excited along the way, but Chen Feifei was biting her fingers in Sissi's arms.

She's still too young, and when she gets older she'll probably be yelling as excitedly as her sister.

Chen Li'an told Qian Qian to be careful while driving.

"Sissi, please be careful, don't swing around, and don't let your seat belt fall off."

"I know, Dad!" Sissi felt a little calmer after agreeing.

Chen Li'an glanced through the rearview mirror and drove seriously.

Soon the car drove to the suburbs. Chen Li'an looked at the gloomy sky and decided to wait a little longer.

It’s best to set off fireworks when it’s completely dark.

Chen Li'an asked the children not to get out of the car while he went to the trunk to move the fireworks.

After he finished setting up the fireworks and it was completely dark, Chen Li'an asked the children to get out of the car.

The weather was so cold that several of the children felt shivering as soon as they got out of the car. The youngest would sit on the baby seat and lean against the car window to look out.

Chen Li'an gave each of the children a firecracker and taught Sissi how to light fireworks. Then he took the youngest, Chen Feifei, out of the car and stuffed her completely into his clothes.

"Sissi, take your sister with you, be careful, let them go one by one." Chen Li'an hugged Chen Feifei and shouted to Sissi.

"I know! This isn't my first time!" Sissi shouted without looking back.

Sissi is 13 years old this year, and she has become a bit rebellious due to being spoiled. She is brave and usually very naughty, but she is also more like a big sister who takes the lead.

Sissi first lit flowers for her younger siblings, and then ran to set off fireworks.

Several children were holding flowers that sparkled in the dark night. The fireworks that Sissi lit also shot up into the sky, blooming brilliantly in the dark night.

"So beautiful!"

"Dad, it looks good!"

"Daddy is bright."

"Oh eh~ oh eh~"

"Goodbye 1999!"
