After hanging up the phone, Tao Mu realized that he hadn't seen Li Xiaoheng for two days.
It was also because there were too many chores these two days, and Tao Mu had a problem of concentrating on doing things. He didn't even notice when Li Xiaoheng, who had been hanging around him, disappeared.
It was not until he made this phone call with Wang Ye's father that Tao Mu learned that Li Xiaoheng had returned to Yanjing specifically for this matter and asked the elders of the Li family to communicate directly with the relevant departments in western Shanxi. Li Xiaoheng himself acted as the whistleblower and reported under his real name. As for the other procedures after the report, they will be fully handed over to Wang Ye's father.
Without Wang Ye's father explaining in detail, Tao Mu could guess how much favors Li Xiaoheng had put in for this matter.
Is it worth it?
Tao Mu frowned. He felt that if it were him, since he had already entrusted the matter to Uncle Wang, he would never let the Li family get involved. This is obviously a waste of resources.
The most important thing is that Li Xiaoheng did this just to vent his anger. In other words, Tao Mu will have to repay all the favors Li Xiaoheng had done in this matter in the future.
Tao Mu's mind was working quickly, and he was already secretly calculating how much profit he should create for Li Xiaoheng in order to repay this favor - Li Xiaoheng had specially returned to Beijing to ask the Li family to come forward. Not to mention anything else, just the thought behind this gesture should be worth at least tens of billions.
That night, as soon as Tao Mu returned to the hotel, he began to look through the notebooks that only he could understand. Trying to find business opportunities in it. Unfortunately, he didn't turn the page for long before he was interrupted by a visit from Long Tianao and Luo Xi.
Long Tianao and Luo Xi also played a role in helping the coal boss make things difficult for the crew. Tao Mu knew what was going on, so he was quite casual when facing the two of them. They even decided to give up some profits in subsequent cooperation.
Long Tianao and Luo Xike had never expected that their heroic efforts would lead to such an unexpected surprise. Long Tianao was simply standing up for his friend, and he had long regarded Tao Mu as his brother, so of course he had to accept the benefits given by his brother. Therefore, Long Tianao has no pressure at all. Tao Mu said he would give it to him, and he didn't even ask or refuse, he just wanted it directly.
On the contrary, Luo Xi was full of concerns. She wanted profits but was afraid that Tao Mu would think she was greedy. She was even more afraid that Tao Mu would give the profits to Longteng Entertainment and would refuse to give her advice on the stock market. When you are worried about gains and losses, you can't help but procrastinate.
Tao Mu didn't care, and continued to discuss the details of holding a new talent show with the two of them.
Long Tianao said casually, "I think the previous school beauties and school hunks selection model is pretty good. When contestants first join the competition, they know nothing. We hire professional teachers to teach them their talents, and then let them perform. When the audience watches, they will have a kind of training fun. They can see with their own eyes how stars are born. So this time for the talent show "National Goddesses and Men", we are going to do the same. The contestants who have passed the audition will be gathered at the shooting site, and the mentors will teach them in four aspects: voice, stage, behavior and performance. Then they will perform on stage, and the mentors and the audience will vote to decide who will advance. The top 16 left in the country will be invested by our three companies to shoot an idol drama and directly help them debut."
"But this time it's a little different from the "National School Beauty and School Prince" competition. Our company will also send artists from its acting class to participate in the draft. So the promotion mechanism..." Luo Xi said here, looking at Tao Mu tentatively.
Tao Mu frowned: "Whether it's an artist that your company wants to promote, or a popular contestant in the eyes of the audience, if you want Feixun.com to be the organizer, I don't want any tricks in the promotion mechanism."
At this point, Tao Mu also felt strange: "Why are you so stingy? Anyway, the contestants who advance to the top 16 will definitely sign with your company. The meat is in the bowl, so whoever you praise is not a praise?"
Luo Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly. If only it were as simple as Tao Mu said. But she also knew that with Tao Mu's temper, he would definitely not agree to the request made by Longteng Entertainment. She was just asking as a routine matter and would report to other shareholders later.
Long Tianao didn't want to think too much: "The competition is hosted by Feixun.com, so of course Feixun.com can do whatever it wants. With Feixun.com's audience base, if you can't stand out in such a fair competition system, I guess your company won't be able to do it even if you force it. Don't make it difficult for Tao Mu."
Long Tianao said, and mentioned another thing to Tao Mu: "This idol drama we are shooting is mainly about the fashion circle. It's similar to the Hollywood movie "The Devil Wears Prada". So there will be many international brands in it. Don't you have a good relationship with the fashion circle? Mainly, they like you very much. When shooting, can you come forward and meet with those fashion magazines and international brands and ask them to give us an art guide, mainly to see if these big brands can give us friendly sponsorship."
Otherwise, with so many luxury goods displayed like an assembly line, how much budget would be needed to shoot such an idol drama?
Long Tianao rolled up his sleeves and was eager to try: "To be honest with you, I proposed this project. I just want to shoot a real idol drama, where the heir of a large group worth tens of billions goes to Starbucks for a date, and goes shopping with his girlfriend in cheap foreign trade stores... I just want those ordinary boys and girls to feel the real extravagant upper class society. Of course, if it is possible, can I apply for a very handsome and rich supporting role?"
Understood? You just want to look cool and show off your wealth, right?
Tao Mu smiled. Luo Xi added, "There is one more thing. Luo's Group owns many department stores. We hope to be able to film the TV series in the department stores under Luo's Group. In addition, the high-end residential areas and villa areas developed by Luo's Group will be launched one after another at the end of the year. We hope to promote the real estate developed by Luo's Group when filming the TV series."
Tao Mu: "..." Do you want to shoot an idol drama or a commercial? There are so many inclusions, why not just shoot the idol drama into a promotional video for you?
Long Tianao's eyes lit up: "There is actually such an operation. Why didn't I think of it. Then I also request that our Long family's industry be filmed in the TV series. Our Long family also has real estate development and department stores. By the way, Tao Mu, aren't you going to negotiate with those international luxury brands? Can you talk about letting their counters settle in our Longxing Department Store? It doesn't matter if they dislike the low grade of our Longxing Department Store. Our Longxing Department Store can rebuild a high-end shopping mall according to their requirements. Wow, in order to shoot an idol drama, you actually have to build a department store first. Do you think if other people know about it, will they especially want to watch this idol drama? I'm such a genius!"
This is how a playboy who doesn't belong to the family should do things. Luo Xi was too lazy to pay attention to him as he was full of wild ideas.
Tao Mu couldn't help but shake his head. I really disapprove of Long Tianao's naive look. I thought, what's so strange about building a department store for the purpose of filming an idol drama? Instead of spending so much time on this, he might as well just create an online shopping and retail platform and throw all the brands online - hey, wait!
Tao Mu suddenly sat up straight. He looked straight at Long Tianao and said, "You really want to make an idol drama that will be talked about and lead the fashion, right?"
"... Ang!" Long Tianao blinked, looking at Tao Mu who was inexplicably excited, a little confused.
"Then do you want to film an idol drama that will shock the world?"
After ten years of rebirth, what is the most precious thing? Of course it’s experience!
What kind of waves will it create by using ten years of experience to compile a business war idol drama with business thinking that is far ahead of the times?
There are all kinds of classic business war cases that have not happened yet but will happen in the next ten years, and there are also Internet daily routines that are just beginning to emerge but will become commonplace for all Chinese people in ten years. Online transactions, electronic payments, all kinds of social software...
What would happen if all these concepts, which seemed so novel in 2009, appeared in a fashion idol drama?
In the future, when some big guys talk about their entrepreneurial experience, they will say that they got the inspiration from an idol drama... That’s so cool!
The thought of that shameful scene - wait, will he be caught as a monster?
Tao Mu, who was having a blast in his mind, blinked his eyes, and the passion and impulse of his sudden inspiration all disappeared at this moment.
He needs more careful consideration and more thoughtful advice. Just like he himself said, if he really wanted to make this idol drama into a unique advertising promotional film. Then Tao Mu must ensure that he is the biggest beneficiary after the release of this idol drama.
Tao Mu looked at the two people in front of him thoughtfully—one was trustworthy but not smart enough, and the other had enough IQ but was not trustworthy.
"I will consider this matter carefully." Tao Mu stood up with a serious face: "It's getting late. You should go back and rest first."
"Ah?" Still waiting for Tao Mu to continue. As a result, Tao Mu was not only made a eunuch, but also suddenly ordered to expel him.
Long Tianao and Luo Xi looked at each other blankly, and finally left Tao Mu's room with question marks in their heads.
After seeing off the guests, Tao Mu immediately turned on the computer to write a plan. He wrote down his wild ideas one by one in a document and sorted them out one by one.
Then, Tao Mu subconsciously dialed up Li Xiaoheng's mobile phone number while looking at the plan on the screen.
By the time Tao Mu reacted, the call was already connected.
Tao Mu: "..."
On the other end of the phone, Li Xiaoheng, who had just flown back from Yanjing and was standing outside Tao Mu's hotel room, answered the phone and asked in a gentle voice, "What's the matter?"
Tao Mu pondered for a moment strangely, then said, "...Nothing. I just have a business plan that I want to discuss with you."
Tao Mu said, his eyes swept across the time displayed on the computer, hesitantly said: "It's too late. If you need to rest--"
"It just so happens that I also want to talk to you." Li Xiaoheng interrupted Tao Mu before he finished speaking: "Open the door?"
"Ah?" Tao Mu was stunned for a moment before he got up to open the door: "You came back from Yanjing so late?"
Li Xiaoheng curled his lips and walked in with his suitcase: "Things over there are almost done. I'm back now."
Tao Mu thought about it and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. This is what I should do. After all, I'm also one of the investors of the crew." Li Xiaoheng paused, and added: "Of course, we both know each other. The reason why I took action is not because of this reason."
Tao Mu poured a cup of hot water for Li Xiaoheng and handed him the freshly prepared plan. Li Xiaoheng put the laptop on his lap, flipped through a few pages, and looked up at Tao Mu: "I can understand the video call function, after all, we have discussed it before. But online shopping platform? Electronic payment? Why do you suddenly want to do this?"
"It's not me." Tao Mu corrected, "I'm a nobody and I can't handle such a big project. This plan is for Xiaoheng Capital. Anyway, you have the support of the Li family, and Xiaoheng Capital has strong funds and is not afraid of wind and waves. Of course, if you are not interested——"
"Why?" Li Xiaoheng looked at Tao Mu with interest: "Why did you give me this plan?"
"Thank you for your help before. I heard from Uncle Wang that you also asked the Li family for help in this matter—"
"It's just a small favor." Li Xiaoheng interrupted Tao Mu again: "We all know the value of this plan. With Xiaoheng Capital's foundation and background, if we follow your plan, the company's market value can increase by at least hundreds of times within ten years. Don't say that my small favor is worth so much."
Tao Mu frowned: "Don't think too much. Just now, Long Tianao and Miss Luo came to me to discuss the talent show and the later filming of the idol drama. We just happened to talk about this. I suddenly had an idea, and the planning proposals I wrote for you are all the plots I want to shoot in this drama. If you want to do this project, it's just right to promote it for you."
"Have you discussed your ideas with them?" Li Xiaoheng tapped the computer screen. He said confidently: "Probably not."
Before Tao Mu could speak, Li Xiaoheng, who seemed to have taken stimulants, stared at Tao Mu with bright eyes, and smiled tenderly: "When you think of a good project, you will think of me first, and you will come up with such a good project to repay my favor. Can I think that in your mind, I am actually very important?"
