A perfect life begins with changing the timeline.

Chapter 162 Helpful Li Xingping

"I think we could diversify our website's offerings. For example, I mentioned wanting to listen to music online, and you gave me those websites… Ping, have you considered that these websites are essentially independent entities? What our website aims to do is integrate these independent entities. And the daily IP traffic shows that this idea is feasible. So… could we also integrate music? For example, create a comprehensive website that gathers many artists and songs…"

Li Mu came today mainly to inspire Li Xingping. From the website's business model to bringing forward the music website that the wheelchair-bound guy regretted... I don't want to create everything, but at least I want to plant the seeds in his heart like these.

To be honest, Li Xingping was quite interested as well.

Because when he talked to Li Mu about some music websites before, he also emphasized:

"These websites don't have all the songs; some are from XX site, and some are from other sites."

According to him, these websites are gathering places for music lovers, and the music is uploaded by everyone themselves. Everyone has their own taste, so they are not comprehensive.

But Li Mu's reminder was correct.

Since the website is incomplete, why don't I just "complete" it myself?

So much so that...

"Mr. Li, following this idea, it's not just limited to websites; image browsing could also be done this way, right?"

"I can reason with you, but... how can you guarantee that all the images on our website are legitimate?"

Li Mu's question startled Li Xingping...

He then nodded subconsciously.

"Indeed, the images... seem to need to be reviewed one by one."

"Yes, it's too troublesome. Not only are labor costs high, but what if something is passed off as genuine..."

At this point, Li Mufu, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, uttered:

"The internet isn't a lawless zone, right, Ping-ge?"

"Hmm, I'll think about it."

"Okay, also, I should tell you that I'll be starting to write a press release about you in the next few days. I'll show it to you when it's finished, and we can discuss any issues we might have."

"OK……"

I ate a meal without drinking alcohol.

The conversation was surprisingly insightful.

As the website's peak access period approached, Li Mu and Fan Bingbing didn't linger and got up to say goodbye.

After saying goodbye to Li Xingping, Li Mu, walking out of the office building, asked his girlfriend:

"How are you feeling?"

"There are some things I don't quite understand, but I think they're pretty impressive."

Because it was evening, she didn't rush to put on a mask. Instead, she pulled the mask up to her chin and breathed in the rare, refreshing evening breeze that only comes around for a few months each year in Guangzhou.

"I feel like my 100,000 yuan investment is going to be a huge success!"

As she spoke, she took her boyfriend's hand:

"No, I have to go back and make money right away... My boyfriend's going to make me rich! Hehe!"

Li Mu smiled slightly and let her pull him towards the car.

……

Putting aside their romantic relationship, from an objective point of view, Li Mu discovered that his girlfriend was indeed a decisive and straightforward person.

They come on Monday and leave on Wednesday, without the slightest hesitation.

Li Mu didn't stop him... or rather, it wouldn't have mattered anyway.

Moreover, he has been busy with this news about Li Xingping these past few days.

On Wednesday morning, he used the excuse of going out for an interview to send his girlfriend to the airport.

But they didn't get off the bus.

Inside the car, through the lowered window, I watched my girlfriend, also wearing sunglasses and a mask, bend down and wave to me.

"I'm leaving."

"Okay. Have a safe trip, call me when you arrive."

"Yes, I love you!"

After blowing a kiss through her mask, she headed straight for the domestic departure gate, carrying her suitcase, all by herself.

Li Mu waited until she disappeared inside the airport before driving back to the city and heading straight to the headquarters of the company named "Good One Two Three".

"Hello, Mr. Li."

When the two young employees recruited by Li Xingping saw Li Mu, they quickly greeted him.

The two of them knew that this was the company's big boss.

At the same time, he looked at the camera in the boss's hand and wondered what it was for.

But Li Mu didn't tell them. Instead, he walked towards Li Xingping, who was sleeping on the bed wearing a shirt and black trousers.

A 50-square-meter office is really small; it's not even big enough to partition off a separate office.

Everyone worked together in one place, with three computers and three workstations, and there wasn't even a proper accounting department.

This is the complete picture of Hao Yi Er San Company.

During the day, the two new employees worked at their respective workstations while Li Xingping slept. After the employees finished get off work, he would get up and continue working through the night.

But that's obviously not possible today.

Li Mu had already arranged a photoshoot with him.

The press release is now written; all that's missing are the photos.

"Ping-ge, wake up."

Li Mu nudged him.

Li Xingping was indeed not asleep. Knowing that he would be taking photos during the day, he changed his clothes and waited.

But she couldn't resist the drowsiness and had only dozed off in bed for a short while when Li Mu came.

"Um... Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I just couldn't hold on any longer."

"fine."

Looking at his sleepy eyes, Li Mu sized him up and, finding his attire quite fitting for a young entrepreneur, said:

"Just take a few photos, it'll be quick, only ten or twenty minutes."

"Okay, shall I wash my face?"

"Um."

Soon, after washing his face, Li Xingping sat down in front of the computer as Li Mu had instructed.

The computer screen displays HAO123's background data. He is focused on the screen, seemingly operating the computer in a virtual world.

After taking a few photos, at Li Mu's instruction, he went to the employee's computer. The employee was looking at the computer, and he stood to the side pointing at the screen...

To be honest, their poses were all quite affected.

But it fits the grassroots image of Li Mu in the news, who "started as a network administrator and turned his life around".

After taking several photos of Li Xingping at work, Li Mu nodded:

"Okay, I'll select one or two photos from these. Have you seen the article, Ping Ge?"

"Hehe...I've seen it, it feels like you're praising me to the skies."

Speaking of this, Li Xingping inevitably became a little shy.

After all, he was just a young man in his early twenties, and he felt a little embarrassed when he thought of the praise Mr. Li gave him in his article, describing him as a "spirited young entrepreneur."

Especially when Mr. Li actually put his website alongside companies like QQ and NetEase, claiming that he was "the future of the internet," the feeling of... being unworthy of such praise, yet also secretly incredibly excited, was a completely new sensation that Li Xingping had never experienced in his twenty-two years of life.

Li Mu remained quite calm in the face of his excitement.

Even though HAO123 is his company, as a journalist and interviewer, his opinion of Li Xingping is the same as that written in the article.

After all, HAO123 was the earliest website indexing engine mentioned by the wheelchair-bound guy; it was the first to try something new.

Hmm, how can we not consider the future?

"It's okay. Your news will be in the newspaper in the next few days. I'll put the website on the news, and I estimate it will definitely increase traffic a lot. You need to be prepared for stability."

"Okay, don't worry, I won't play games for the next few days. I'll just monitor the data in real time."

"it is good."

After saying goodbye to Li Xingping, Li Mu went straight back to his workplace to develop the photos.

Then he began to review his press release again.

[HAO123: The Story of Young Entrepreneur Li Xingping's "Helpful Spirit"]

This is the title of his interview.

HAO123 is the website name, and... Li Mu has to admit that the name is really easy to remember.

The first three Ws, the last one .COM, and in the middle is just one, two, three.

It flows exceptionally well.

Unlike websites like SINA, SOHU, and YAHOO, which use "sound" as their domain name but are extremely easy to mistype and become "XINLANG, SOUHU, YAHU", this website is created entirely according to the spelling habits of Chinese people.

"Being willing to help others" is the original intention that Li Mu found for this article, or rather, for Li Xingping to create the website.

After witnessing the unfamiliarity many netizens had with the internet and the difficulty they faced with the complexity of domain names, a network administrator, with a "helpful" mindset, created this comprehensive index website with a particularly easy-to-remember domain name.

On this website, newcomers no longer need to squint to find the tiny print in their browser bookmarks, nor do they need to painstakingly write down URLs in their notebooks.

No need.

Whenever you are online and need to look up a domain name, simply log in to this website with a very easy-to-remember name.

You can find everything you want here.

This is the main theme of the article.

That's a bit of an exaggeration, after all, there are thousands of internet domain names, and it's simply unrealistic to search for them all on one website.

Some internet experts would definitely scoff at this article.

But Li Mu wasn't exaggerating, because he wasn't speaking from the perspective of a network expert, but rather from the perspective of a group of newbies who had just started using the internet.

For beginners, the demand for internet access is not high.

Being able to read news, send and receive emails, and even find a place to download QQ is enough.

For them, HAO123 is a panacea.

After reading the article several times to confirm its accuracy, he received the photos he had taken, which he had developed, just before leaving get off work.

After selecting two photos for this edition of the news, he went directly to Lin Naichen's desk:

"Editor-in-chief, please take a look."

Lin Naichen looked up and, upon seeing Li Mu, took the news from him.

In the past few months, even disregarding the miraculous 9/11, just looking at his usual performance, Xiao Li's writing skills are undeniable.

Therefore, in December, when the news coverage was rather quiet, he really needed some excellent news to improve the quality of the next section.

"This is a very easy-to-remember website address. The domain name structure is simple, easy to spell, easy to write, and easy to remember."

But no one could possibly imagine how much effort Li Xingping put in to simplify the complex internet and make surfing the web easier for everyone…

At first, when Lin Naichen read the first sentence, she thought it was some kind of GG (boy/girl)...

But after reading the second sentence of the article, he became interested.

Is it simple?

He squinted and continued reading.

I'm curious to see what kind of surprise Xiao Li has brought me.
