Tao Mu slept until the next morning. When I woke up, I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have promised something the night before.

"Promise to learn to drive and take the test with us!"

"I agreed to sign up to perform at the welcome party!"

"I got a call and agreed to a video chat with the other party!"

Yes, that's it!

Tao Mu quickly found the news he wanted among all the true and false responses. Then he picked up his phone and called his partner on the other side of the ocean again: "Brother Li, I think we need to discuss the matter you mentioned last night in detail and seriously."

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Li Xiaoheng, who was still reading some documents in the study, smiled slightly, picked up his mobile phone, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony, looked at the beautiful and spectacular skyscrapers outside the window, and his own reflection in the glass window. The usually cold and hard facial features became much softer under the influence of light and shadow, and there was also a warm glow in the dark eyes. He smiled gently and asked, "You were drunk last night. Do you have a headache when you wake up this morning?"

"Ah?" Tao Mu was stunned for a moment before he reacted and said quickly, "I'm fine."

Then he asked, "Did I get drunk last night and cause trouble?"

"How was the market situation last night?"

"Everything is just as you expected." Li Xiaoheng smiled and replied, "Don't worry. I just want to ask how you are feeling. Do you feel uncomfortable? If you feel uncomfortable, make yourself a cup of honey water to relieve it. Don't think of me as Zhou Paopi, who even has to ask about his partner going out for a meal or drinking with friends. I will be sad."

Li Xiaoheng's slightly softened voice came from the other end of the receiver, inexplicably sounding like a spoiled child. Tao Mu was startled when he heard this, and explained embarrassedly: "That's not what I meant... I just feel that we all agreed on good things, but I always have problems because of personal reasons——"

"That can't be helped." Li Xiaoheng interrupted Tao Mu with a smile: "Who made us twelve hours apart? My working hours are exactly your rest time. Speaking of which, is this the furthest distance in the world?"

Tao Mu paused for a moment, and a short poem inexplicably emerged in his mind. He quickly shook his head, thinking that he was really drunk and still not sober: "I think so. We are two hemispheres apart."

Li Xiaoheng chuckled. The light tail sound went into Tao Mu's ears through the receiver. It feels itchy as if I was scratched by a feather.

"Brother Li, thank you for your understanding." Tao Mu scratched his ear, adhering to the principle that courtesy is not a problem, and apologized when necessary and expressed his stance when necessary. Then he turned the topic to serious matters: "...I think what you said last night about adding a video chat function to the communication section of Feixun.com is great. But considering China's network environment and the server that Feixun.com currently rents, I'm afraid it can't afford such a traffic-consuming function. Besides, Feixun.com has only me as a backend maintenance staff so far. Of course, I have been busy recruiting programmers these two days. But even if we recruit people, we are separated by half a world. If we want to launch the video function online, can the network speed support it? Won't it be stuck like a PPT? Moreover, the professional skills required for this kind of cross-ocean video function are too advanced, and I can't handle it."

Tao Mu said this, his eyes shining as he asked Li Xiaoheng: "Or, Brother Li, can you help me recruit two top programmers who graduated from Stanford and have them come to China to help me?"

Li Xiaoheng lowered his head and smiled: "Let's work hard together, there will definitely be this opportunity in the future."

Tao Mu touched his nose and realized that he was a little fanciful. Pulling his thoughts back to the ground, Tao Mu continued: "In fact, I have also thought about launching the video call function on Feixun. But my idea is to wait a little longer, until external conditions allow, and then launch the web version and mobile version together."

"Now that the first generation of smartphones has just been released, the hardware of the phones cannot support the video call APP version. I think your suggestion is very good, but it is not suitable at this time. Because the hardware does not support it, even if we forcefully launch the video call function, it will only be useless. It is better to wait another one or two years until the hardware configuration of smartphones catches up. Then we can launch this function simultaneously. What do you think?"

Tao Mu has a systematic plan for the future development of Feixun.com. So when he talked about this matter with Li Xiaoheng, he was also very organized and talked freely. After being reborn, Tao Mu knows better than anyone the development potential of mobile client in the next ten years. Therefore, Tao Mu has always focused Feixun.com's technology on the mobile client. In the plan he secretly wrote, which only he could understand, Tao Mu had already listed in detail how to develop and promote the Feixun mobile client at every step. Now everything is ready, just waiting for the Internet speed to be upgraded and the smartphone to be replaced.

It's just that Tao Mu couldn't explain this kind of thing in detail to Li Xiaoheng.

Li Xiaoheng liked the way Tao Mu was extremely serious and focused in everything he did. He listened to Tao Mu's voice, and pictured in his mind Tao Mu frowning slightly, looking a little troubled but trying hard to come up with a solution, and couldn't help but smile.

"I think your idea is very good." Li Xiaoheng imitated Tao Mu's way of speaking, first affirmed Tao Mu's idea, and then changed the subject: "But I still think that we can also let the technical staff develop this function first, and then the two of us can use it first. Isn't it said that a website needs internal testing before launching new functions? It just so happens that the two of us can serve as internal testers."

After all, Li Xiaoheng was still not satisfied with chatting on the phone. He wanted to see Tao Mu in person, to depict his outline with his eyes, and to appreciate Tao Mu's excited and high-spirited appearance when he talked about his career. Instead of being like now, where you can only guess the other person's expression by listening to the voice.

"In fact, have you ever thought about promoting Feixun.com overseas at the same time?" Li Xiaoheng suggested with ulterior motives: "I also registered Feixun.com. After playing for a few days, I think Feixun.com's social concept is great and caters to the social mentality and social needs of college students. Moreover, if Feixun.com can be promoted in colleges and universities in Country M, it will also be a kind of publicity for Feixun.com in China."

It has to be said that in the Chinese consumer market there is indeed a phenomenon of "foreign monks are good at chanting", "the moon is rounder in foreign countries", and "flowers bloom inside the wall but are fragrant outside the wall". Just as Li Xiaoheng proposed, if Feixun.com could open up the situation among universities in Country M. Let's not talk about anything else, just talking about domestic propaganda, Tao Mu has a hundred propaganda plans that can arouse the confidence of the people.

But the key is——

"Now, college students in Country M are all using face recognition websites and photo album websites. Their local social software is being promoted like crazy. I'm an outsider here, with no foundation and no manpower. I'm afraid it won't work, right?"

Of course Tao Mu was very tempted by Li Xiaoheng's proposal. But he is also very self-aware: "Whether in terms of technology or capital, Feixun.com is not confident enough to surpass Shualian.com and Xiangsong.com. I don't think those foreign students will abandon their own country's social software and switch to our Feixun."

The most important thing is that if Tao Mu chooses to launch Feixun.com in Country M, then his original plan to develop Feixun.com step by step in China will be disrupted. In order to compete with face-scanning websites and photo album websites, Tao Mu must launch some promotional methods and new functions online in advance. Tao Mu didn't know whether this kind of forcing things to grow was a good thing for Feixun.com.

Of course, the core problem is that Feixun.com has no roots in Country M.

Tao Mu's brain was working rapidly, thinking about how to tactfully and firmly reject Li Xiaoheng's sudden proposal.

Li Xiaoheng laid the groundwork step by step, and after hearing Tao Mu's words, he finally had a chance to show off: "What do you think of me?"

"ah?"

"In fact, I am very optimistic about the potential and future development of Feixun.com. If you trust me, you can let me handle the promotion of Feixun.com in Country M. The National Day is coming soon, and your school should be able to have a seven-day holiday. Why don't you use these seven days to come over and we can talk in person. And when you go to Country M, you can also feel the atmosphere of the international crude oil market up close."

Li Xiaoheng planned carefully and finally brought up the topic he wanted to talk about most.

"But..." Tao Mu's thoughts were still a little confused for a while. He was somewhat uncomfortable with Li Xiaoheng's relentless pressure.

"This is too much trouble for you." Tao Mu said tactfully that he had no intention of taking out Feixun.com and giving it to others. At least not yet: "You are alone in Country M, and it is already very hard to keep an eye on the international crude oil market. I think Feixun.com has just been established, and there is no need to consider such long-term things."

"I think this is a good opportunity." Li Xiaoheng certainly didn't bring this up on a whim. He also thought it over carefully: "You haven't been to Country M, so you don't know the situation here. Because of the economic crisis, Country M's entertainment industry is now developing very well. People are in urgent need of more novel things to distract their attention and relieve the pressure in life. Although Feixun.com does not belong to the orthodox entertainment industry, its social concept is very suitable for college students and those who have just entered the society. Let me help you analyze it. Now Country M..."

Li Xiaoheng threw a research report to Tao Mu directly on the phone, and finally concluded: "... So I think that with the current situation in Country M, it is a very rare opportunity for Feixun.com. We should seize this opportunity. Of course, you don't need to worry too much. You are my most promising partner, and it is my honor to help you in your career. If you really feel embarrassed, think about the profits you have made for me in the futures market. Or when Feixun.com wants to ring the bell on NASDAQ, you can give priority to letting Xiaoheng Capital help Feixun.com raise funds for listing."

It has to be said that Li Xiaoheng's answer perfectly resolved all the concerns that Tao Mu had in his heart. So much so that Tao Mu was too embarrassed to refuse anymore.

"Okay then. I'll fly to Country M during the National Day holiday, and we can talk in person." Tao Mu was a little helpless. But he was more grateful for Li Xiaoheng's kindness.

Even if Li Xiaoheng's ultimate goal is still to invest in Feixun.com. He was able to provide selfless help without reservation when Fetion Network was just starting out, and he openly acknowledged his needs. This approach is much better than those investors who have no knowledge of technology and can only throw money at people and think about how to kick the founding team out of the company every day, which only causes trouble.

Tao Mu once again lamented that he had found a partner who was very suitable and very smart.

Before he finished sighing, Tao Mu received a call from Luo Xi.

"Are you in Yanjing?" Luo Xi on the other end of the phone did not hide his smugness and gloating: "If you are, you can come to Ward 304 of the Orthopedic Treatment Area of ​​Yanjing First People's Hospital. Luo Yang's leg was broken by his father. I think he may need a visit and encouragement from you friends."

Tao Mu: "..."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you." Luo Xi smiled slightly: "According to the price you gave me, I added another 10 million. The bid was successful, and Luo's Group has successfully obtained the land in Shanghai. Although the bid price is a bit over budget, after careful consideration, the board of directors still believes that this price has a very large profit range. So the next step, the company's focus will be on developing the land. Because I turned the tide in the bidding, the board of directors thinks I can be the person in charge of this project."

Luo Xi paused for a moment and said, "If you don't mind, I didn't tell the board of directors about your role. Because I really need the board's approval. Don't worry, I will compensate you in other ways. Next, no matter what Feixun.com wants to do, Longteng Entertainment will unconditionally cooperate with Feixun.com's publicity work. Of course, if Mr. Tao has any personal requests for me, you can also raise them. I will do my best to fulfill your requirements."

"I think our cooperation will be very pleasant. And I personally look forward to more opportunities to cooperate with Mr. Tao in the future."

Tao Mu understood that this was the exchange of interests that Luo Xi could offer. She wanted to use the bidding to convince more shareholders on the board to support her, so she took away Tao Mu's credit without hesitation. He was also worried about causing Tao Mu's dissatisfaction, so he was prepared to make great efforts to meet Tao Mu's needs.

But Tao Mu himself didn't want more people to know about this. Of course, Tao Mu mainly considered that he was still immature and did not want to attract the attention of the Shen family and Shen Yu's admirers. However, this did not affect Tao Mu's acceptance of Luo Xi's kindness.

"I am also looking forward to working with Miss Luo." Tao Mu smiled warmly and accepted Luo Xi's offer very straightforwardly.

On the other end of the line, the eldest daughter of the Luo family, who had been holding her phone tightly with bated breath, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just from the two things of international oil futures and Shanghai land bidding, Luo Xi has seen Tao Mu's value. She didn't want to offend Tao Mu. She even thought that if Tao Mu expressed strong dissatisfaction after hearing about this, she would rather tell the board of directors everything.

But now it seems that Tao Mu is still very considerate and easy to talk to. In this case, Luo Xi also felt that he needed to let Tao Mu see his sincerity.

"If Feixun.com wants to use the artists under Longteng Entertainment for publicity, whether it is online or offline, I can make the decision and let all the artists cooperate with Feixun.com's publicity activities." Luo Xi knew that Tao Mu valued Longteng Entertainment's resources very much, and was very generous: "If you still need authorization in other aspects, please tell me directly. I will do my best to help you. As for the price, you don't have to worry. I will solve it here."

Tao Mu likes this kind of smart people the most: "Thank you very much, Miss Luo. If I need anything, I will tell you directly."

"You're welcome. This is what I should do." Luo Xi paused for a moment and asked, "Will you come to the hospital to visit Luo Yang?"

"Of course." Tao Mu curled his lips and smiled brightly: "I think I should go there."

Luo Xi didn't quite understand the relationship between Tao Mu and Luo Yang. Hearing this, he immediately smiled and said, "That's right. You two are good friends. I think Luo Yang would be very happy if he could see you in the hospital."

Is that so?

Tao Mu raised his eyebrows. He didn't know whether Luo Yang would be happy to see him.

Tao Mu only knew that when he politely walked into the ward holding a bouquet of flowers and a basket of fruit, and saw Luo Yang lying on the bed with a broken leg and a plaster cast, he felt extremely happy.
