Su Can naturally couldn't stay in the same room with the two girls. After sending Zhang Xiaqiao and others downstairs, he booked a separate room next to Lin Luo Ran and Tang Wu's rooms. When Tang Wu went to take a shower, he went straight into his own room.

The next morning, they checked out of the hotel without going directly to the hotel restaurant for breakfast but instead followed Lin Luoran to Nan University Street where they had crab paste xiaolongbao and breakfast porridge.

In the early morning, there were already many people here. Some sat down to eat while others hurriedly left after buying breakfast pastries with their books in hand. Overall, it was a bustling atmosphere typical of university food stalls.

Not minding being the focus of attention as she wiped her mouth with a napkin, Lin Luoran said contentedly, "Being able to have breakfast at Nan University is truly a kind of happiness."

"You really do have low standards for happiness," Su Can remarked. "Yeah, during high school you gave a speech that was quite funny yet profound—how did it begin again…" Lin Luoran momentarily had a mental blank.

“I'm hungry, and you're holding the last steamed bun, so you are happier than me,” Tang Wu muttered softly. She then smiled at Su Can and Lin Luoran who were staring at her in surprise, saying, "It should begin like this." Lin Luo Ran put down her rice bowl and stared solemnly at both Su Can and Tang Wu with big eyes. Su Can nodded his head, “But the question is, didn't you transfer to No. 27 High School by then”

Do you remember Du Yu Although I didn’t contact you after coming to Rongcheng, she would always tell me many things about you, and—what you said in that speech was very well put,” Tang Wu smiled as her red lips glimmered with a tempting shine under the morning light. “Thank you for the praise; it’s just a bit late.” Su Can chuckled. "But I still have lots of other good qualities for you to discover and praise over time." Tang Wu looked at him teasingly, smiling. "I already regret praising you earlier."

Lin Luoran had an unsatisfied look on her face; holding her spoon with half-lowered eyelids, she said, “Please make it clear to each other that when you two bicker, remember there are still guests nearby.”

Lin Luoran had breakfast and said goodbye to the two people at Guanghua Road intersection. She did not need them to escort her to catch the bus, as Miss Lin was always in and out like a gust of wind. However, she mentioned, "I'll go back first; I still have an event to attend. You guys don't need to see me off. Su Cun, you managed to escape this time. Originally, you should have hosted a dinner at the most luxurious restaurant in Shanghai. But considering your circumstances, I will let it slide for now. When your Chinese version of Facebook is established, we'll celebrate then. Keep up the good work; I'm waiting for you to make another impressive achievement!" Then Lin Luoran waved her hand and left, with her slim figure disappearing around a corner in the bushes.

During the time Su Cun and Tang were entertaining Lin Luoran, an email response was delivered to Su Cun's inbox.

When Su Cun returned to his dormitory and opened his computer, he checked his emails. He also saw a message from Zack on Facebook left for him. The message said that Qiao Shuxin had returned from Stanford University to China, and he had provided contact information for Su Cun. When Su Cun opened the email, it contained a letter from Qiao Shuxin at Stanford University. Since last year, Qiao Shuxin had been working part-time at Palo Alto Labk headquarters during his free time, earning a monthly salary of $2000 as compensation. He was considered one of the senior figures in Labk and also one of the few Chinese members at Facebook headquarters.

Strictly speaking, Qiao Shuxin was also part of Tsinghua University's circle. In his ninth year (which was when Su Cun reincarnated), he graduated from Tsinghua University's Department of Civil Engineering and went to Stanford University in the United States for further studies in computer science. Last year, he joined Labk, and this year, Labk had become a popular social networking site in America, making these senior members even wealthier.

For Su Cun to bring Qiao Shuxin back to China to serve as the vice president of Facebook's Chinese version was not an easy task. Therefore, he initially sent him an email with a formal written invitation. Given that Labk was flourishing in America and to move one of its senior members would be quite challenging.

There were issues regarding Qiao Shuxin’s mindset—whether he wanted to return to China and leave his team behind to establish himself here. On the other hand, Qiao Shuxin possessed exceptional computer talent; when it came to technology, he was among the best in Facebook's many "geeks," not inferior to Zack, and even better in some areas.

The Facebook headquarters at Palo Alto was a cohesive unit. Back then, everyone there were high achievers who were willing to sleep on the floor, earn a salary that was much lower than what they could have earned in other top companies, and work in roles with no clear prospects because their leader once told them, "You will change the world."

Therefore, it can be imagined how cohesive this team is; nobody would want to leave when their careers begin to take off.

Hence, Su Cun wrote an invitation letter to Qiao Shuxin. They had met in February of this year, and Qiao Shuxin should trust that the younger person in China was his co-founder. Meanwhile, Su Cun left a message for Zack on Labk about bringing Qiao Shuxin to China.

Su Cen originally thought he would need to persuade Zack at great length, but the latter only asked him two questions: "What can Qiao Shuxin do in China How exactly will you carry out your plan" Su Cen briefly outlined his blueprint, and Zack initially showed agreement.

At the same time, he informed Su Cen that besides attending Harvard's business courses every day, he was also taking psychology classes and a Chinese language tutorial class.

The study of psychology is almost mandatory as it forms an important branch of modern organizational behavior in NBA. This aligns with Zack's interest; deep down, he is still a schemer who enjoys studying various behavioral patterns but struggles somewhat when it comes to socializing. A highly intelligent genius often lacks emotional intelligence, which Mark Zuckerberg also demonstrates.

"Su Cen, isn't this a sign Recently, I've been focusing on learning Chinese as we are about to conquer America and then expand into Europe. But what worries me is how best to strategize our entry into China. There's more genius talent in China than the total population of the United States, according to Silicon Valley's belief. You have just proven this point. I think if we don't hurry up, others will catch up with us.

So, I signed up for a Chinese class, studying Chinese history, culture, and values. If we overlook your country of 1.2 billion people, how can we ensure the transformation and conquest of this world"

Zack's interest in Chinese language probably stems from that year at Elk Grove High School when Su Cen and Tang Wu suddenly entered his life, making China intriguing to him. Now that Su Cen has mentioned the plan for Chinese Facebook, Zack immediately agreed wholeheartedly but asked many related questions. For instance, whether Facebook Chinese should be considered as Labk's Chinese version or...

"Regarding the equity of Facebook Chinese, I suggest dividing it into an overseas part and a China part, with the overseas part funded by Labk’s off-shore company, holding 40% of the equity in Facebook Chinese," Su Cen continued. "The domestic Facebook Chinese will be a wholly-owned subsidiary with 60% of the equity. On one hand, this simplifies complex procedures; on the other hand, it avoids regulations prohibiting foreign investment from entering media sectors like advertising and news in China, as well as potential future policy changes. This kind of equity distribution effectively counters any malicious acquisitions by competitors."88.

Su Cen outlined the entire equity structure, which was already a very reasonable setup. Just like Labk's equity structure, after the Washington Post investment, he now held a substantial share, while the Washington Post owned 35%, Zack had 53%, and 1% went to Facebook’s founding employees as stock options. The daily operations, development, and decision-making of American Labk were all in Zack’s team's hands. This could prevent future private equity companies or internet giants like Microsoft and Google from coveting Labk and making both Su Cen and Zack fall into their schemes.

Facebook Chinese would also adopt this reasonable equity distribution method, keeping the decision-making and operations under control of the controlling shareholders. Even if they IPO in the future, there will be effective listing plans and share settings to enhance defense against malicious acquisitions. For example, many shocking events might occur in the future. Upon hearing Su Cen's complete plan, Zack was silent for a while at his computer end. In strict terms, this equity distribution slightly disadvantages Zack; although Labk holds 40% of Facebook Chinese’s equity, American Facebook has a small part that is held by Su Cen. Calculated strictly, Zack only owns about a quarter of the shares in Facebook Chinese.

Su Cen could also feel that Zach was becoming increasingly ambitious, gradually possessing the kind of charisma to become a future front-line commander in Internet 2.0 enterprises.

A few minutes later, the conversation came down to its final message; Zach's chat window popped up with one line: "K, I'll do as you said." Lin Guangdong picked Su Cen up in the Bentley at the Nan University gate and headed for Pudong International Airport.

This year marked the third year since the opening of Pudong International Airport. The first phase of its construction featured a 4-kilometer-long, 60-meter-wide Category I north-south runway, an apron covering 8 million square meters with 76 parking spaces and two taxiways. The second runway and Terminal Two would only be built in the years to come, as Shanghai was just beginning research on its new airport master plan this year.

All of these consultations stemmed from Great Willow Construction's investment in Chuannan Airlines, enriching the information that Su Cen had at his disposal. Often times, what Su Cen needed to do was to utilize useful resources and combine them with his previous knowledge, making it a powerful weapon against formidable opponents.

When the flight landed, Su Cen met Qiao Shuxin at the terminal building. Qiao wore thick glasses for myopia, had a shaved head, and carried an American Gregory Mountain Backpack containing all of his belongings. He boarded the plane from California with this backpack and returned to Shanghai.

He warmly embraced Su Cen upon meeting him, clearly feeling more at home in China after living in America for so long. Most importantly, they might be able to replicate their current American business here. "This is Lin Guangdong, the president and editor-in-chief of Fashion Culture magazine; we may become potential business partners," Su Cen introduced.

"Work hard! I know what you're doing, and before the media spotlight shines on you, our magazine has reserved a cover story feature for you," Lin extended his hand with a smile. "I'm deeply honored," Qiao nodded and shook hands warmly with Lin.

Qiao was originally from Hubei Province but had relatives in Shanghai; however, he didn't intend to visit them. Su Cen instructed Lin Guangdong to take him first to his accommodation at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on Nan University campus. There, Qiao would meet with Su Cen and Facebook Chinese's future chief technology officer for further planning.

Qiao was not very talkative; sitting quietly in the Bentley while looking out the window, one might mistake him for a member of the floating population of migrants who traveled to Beijing or Shanghai carrying backpacks if it weren't known that he belonged to the American team making waves.ut serving passengers and ensuring flight operations run smoothly—not about fawning over my superiors!"
