Chapter 225 Beauty's Purpose and Farewell

Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "It's not bad, I've been in Singapore for almost a year, and I have some understanding of Singapore's local culture and customs..."

"It's only been less than a year, Director Li. If this is the case, you have integrated into our local culture in Singapore very quickly! And your English is also very Singaporean..."

After the two chatted for a while, Li Xiaofan felt a little strange. Lin Muchiu seemed to be praising him. He had some orders and other things to rush back to the office to deal with. Feeling a little anxious, he asked directly: "Manager Lin, I wonder what you want to do when you come to see me today?"

Lin Muchiu smiled and finally got to the point: "That's right, Director Li, I heard from Shujia that your Yifan Company is a shareholder of Yahoo. Do you know many excellent Internet startups in Silicon Valley in the United States like Netscape Browser?"

Li Xiaofan remembered that when he was chatting with Zheng Shujia, he was bragging a little in order to enjoy the preferential policies for entering the park, but he did not expect that she would take it seriously.

"Well, yes, our Singapore Yifan Private Limited is indeed one of the shareholders of Yahoo in the United States. Several of our founders at Yahoo are familiar with other Internet companies in Silicon Valley such as Netscape Browser... "Li Xiaofan said truthfully.

"Excellent! Director Li, I would like to trouble you with something. Isn't it convenient?"

"Manager Lin, just give me the order directly. What is it?"

"As you may know, our Singaporean government is currently vigorously promoting the IT2000-Smart Island Plan, which plans to build a nationwide high-speed broadband multimedia network within 10 years, popularize information technology, and build a more closely connected electronic society regionally and globally. Building Singapore into a smart island and global IT Center. So our Singapore Science Park has recently begun to pay attention to some world-renowned Internet companies, such as Yahoo, which you invested in, and some well-known Internet companies in Silicon Valley such as Netscape Browser... I wonder if it would be convenient for you to introduce them. , we want to go to Silicon Valley in the United States to visit these well-known companies recently?”

"It shouldn't be a big problem to arrange a visit to Yahoo to meet with founders such as Jerry Yang. Manager Lin, I'm curious to ask, what is the purpose of your visits to Internet companies such as Yahoo and Netscape Browser?"

"Director Li, I am the person in charge of the investment department, and of course I am recruiting investment in Silicon Valley! On the one hand, we are going to Silicon Valley this time to do an in-depth research on the Internet industry in Silicon Valley, and the other main purpose is to attract investment. Director Li, if you want If you can cooperate with us and persuade outstanding Silicon Valley Internet companies such as Yahoo and Netscape to move their headquarters to our Singapore Science Park, we can provide very preferential policies..."

"Manager Lin, that's great. I have to admire your vision! But according to my understanding, it is very unlikely for Internet companies like Yahoo and Netscape to leave Silicon Valley and move their headquarters to Singapore, because Silicon Valley has the conditions suitable for their development. genes and soil..."

"Director Li, I understand, but we still want to communicate and try it first! If the headquarters doesn't work, even setting up a regional headquarters or R&D center here will do..."

"So, Manager Lin, when do you plan to go to the United States?"

"Our initial plan is next week. Of course, we are also contacting these companies in Silicon Valley through other channels. After hearing what Shujia said, I later saw the information that Singapore Yifan Pte. Ltd. is a direct shareholder of Yahoo, so today I took the liberty of inviting you here!”

"Manager Lin, is it okay if I contact Mr. Jerry Yang, the founder of Yahoo, in the evening and then get back to you tomorrow?"

"No problem, Director Li, thank you for your strong support!"

…

In the evening, Mr. Tang held a family dinner at his mansion in Bukit Timah Hill to bid farewell to Tang Xinyi and her party.

Xinyi booked a flight to Hangzhou for the next day to attend a short-term Chinese painting training at the China Academy of Art. She will be accompanied by Kyoko Fujiwara and her sister-in-law Irene there tomorrow.

Today, the Tang family's dinner invited Ye Niya, Tang Anna, mother and daughter, Li Xiaofan and others to attend.

While eating, Mr. Tang asked: "Afan, I heard that your trading business has been doing pretty well recently. Even our NTUC Affordable Cooperative in Singapore has purchased goods from your Yifan company?"

Li Xiaofan replied: "Yes, Uncle Tang, NTUC FairPrice Cooperative recently gave us the first order of Yifan Company, which is mainly for some daily plastic products. At present, these goods have left Mingzhou Port and are on their way to On the way to the Port of Singapore.”

Mr. Tang said happily: "Well, that's great! Affan, some friends from the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry have invited me to play golf at Sentosa Golf Club this Saturday. Are you and A Ming interested in playing with me? By the way, do you want to meet these big guys in Singapore’s business community?”

"Uncle Tang, my company is so small and my golf skills are so bad, do you feel embarrassed?"

Tang Jiaming smiled and said: "Afan, you and I are definitely not qualified to play. First of all, our skills are not good, and in addition, Abba and the others will win or lose at least tens of thousands of Singapore dollars, or even hundreds of thousands of Singapore dollars, in a game. They can buy it." There are several HDB flats in Singapore. We can just go and see the world. There is a driving range nearby. In addition to observing, we can also practice serving and putting..."

Now Li Xiaofan understood a little bit. It turned out that these rich people were betting money when they played golf. The game between the rich and the poor is a bit unimaginable. If they win or lose a game, it will be tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Singapore dollars. In the past, he was still a working dog at Westwood Electronics. How many years of hard work would he have to do?

After the meal, when everyone gathered in the living room to drink tea, Yenia asked Tang Anna to go to the car to get a beautifully decorated box as a gift for Tang Xinyi.

After Tang Xinyi opened the box, she found a string of exquisite Baltic amber beeswax pendants inside. It glowed a crystal clear golden yellow under the light, and was very beautiful.

Tang Anna helped her hang it on the front and back of her chest. Tang Xinyi looked in the mirror and liked it very much: "What a beautiful amber beeswax pendant. Thank you Aunt Yenia!"

At this time, Li Xiaofan remembered that he had also brought a gift to Tang Xinyi, so he took out a simple wooden box from his small bag and handed it to Tang Xinyi: "Xinyi, I also brought you a small gift. See how you have been lately. I am studying Buddhism and I specially give you a string of agarwood bracelets. I hope you like it!”

"Thank you, Brother Xiaofan!"

After Tang Xinyi opened the wooden box, she found a bunch of inconspicuous wooden bracelets lying quietly inside. The color was dark green, but it exuded a pleasant and refreshing smell.

After she took it, she brought her nose close and smelled it carefully. The cool smell became stronger, cooler and sweeter, refreshing, sweet and mellow. It went straight up from the nose, and there was a sweet feeling that went straight to Baihui along the forehead. The feeling immediately lifted her spirits.

Tang Xinyi couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, it smells so good!"

Mr. Tang on the side came over to take a look and said in surprise: "Yingge Luqinan!"
