Chapter 240 Da Guang Ming and Geylang Posts

On the way back, Li Xiaofan bought a copy of that day's Lianhe Zaobao and took the MRT subway. After seeing the movie advertising column on the page, he asked: "Girls, I owe you a movie last time. The recent Jackie Chan movie " "Red Zone" is now showing, are you interested in watching it? "

"Okay, I heard that this movie is very popular. We are just trying to find time to watch this big movie!"

Currently, the action movie "Red Zone" starring Jackie Chan, Anita Mui and others is being released. The film tells the story of Hong Kong policeman Ma Hanqiang who bravely fights gangs in New York, USA. With this movie, the following year in 1996, Jackie Chan and Tang Jili won the Best Action Director Award at the 15th Hong Kong Film Awards.

After getting off the Tampines MRT station and heading to the K. Wah Cinema in Tampines, Li Xiaofan pointed to the busy Tampines Community Center neighborhood and said: "Girls, our first optical shop in the future may be located near here. I have asked a real estate agent to help me find a suitable store. ”

Guo Hanyue praised: "Afan, it's great to open an optical shop in this location! The rate of myopia among Singaporeans is really high. I feel that if we can successfully open an optical shop, the business will be good."

Liu Mengchen thought of something and asked: "Director Li, have you ever thought about the name of our first optical shop?"

"I really haven't thought about it yet. What suggestions do you have?"

When Liu Mengchen mentioned the name of the optical shop, what Li Xiaofan thought of were all the large and small optical shops on the streets in his previous life: Baodao, Wu Liangcai, Daming, Boshi, Weikang, Johnson & Johnson, Haichang, Bausch & Lomb, Lean. …

Liu Mengchen smiled and said: "When I was a child, I went to Shanghai with my parents. When we went to the western suburbs zoo, my favorite was Shanghai's Da Guangming ice cream. How about calling it Singapore Da Guangming Optical Shop?"

Li Xiaofan nodded and said: "Well, this name is easy to understand. Yueyue, do you have any ideas?"

Guo Hanyue thought for a while and said: "I don't have much idea, Afan. Another way to name it is to call your first company Singapore Yifan. Then you can call it Singapore Yifan Optical Shop. It sounds pretty good." Catchy…”

"Should we call it Yifan Optical Shop in Singapore or Da Guangming Optical Shop in Singapore? Your suggestions are all very good. I'll think about it again."

Li Xiaofan had a sudden idea: "Girls, when we enter the cinema later, we will take a look at the row where we are seated. Apart from the three of us, guess what proportion of people wear glasses. The guess is the most outrageous. How about we treat you to a late-night snack?”

Liu Mengchen said: "Okay, I guess 70%."

Guo Hanyue smiled and said: "Is it that high? I guess 65%. Afan, what about you?"

"I guess 80%." Li Xiaofan saw a set of data last time in Lianhe Zaobao. Singaporean boys will undergo comprehensive physical examinations when they serve in the military. Surveys show that the myopia rate among Singaporean boys around 19 years old has exceeded 80%.

"Is it that outrageous?" Guo Hanyue expressed doubts.

There are 21 seats in the row of the cinema that Li Xiaofan and the three of them bought. After excluding the three of them, there are still 18 seats.

In the evening, because it was a newly released Jackie Chan movie, Tampines Ka Wah Cinema was full.

Finally, they counted and found that 12 of the 18 people wore glasses, and the glasses-wearing rate was 66%.

The result was that Li Xiaofan lost.

Li Xiaofan expressed his dissatisfaction: "Girls, I guess those girls without glasses must be using contact lenses, and the two boys without glasses seem to be from mainland China who came here to work. They speak Mandarin..."

"Haha, Director Li, stop quibbling, you lost anyway, just treat us sisters to a supper later!"

"Girls, can you guess what the current population of Singapore is?"

Guo Hanyue said: "It seems to be 3.52 million. I saw a report in Lianhe Zaobao a few days ago."

"Yes, that's right! Girls, according to the last set of data from Lianhe Zaobao, the myopia rate in Singapore is 80%, which means that the number of people with myopia has reached 2.82 million. Even with today's 66% data, it has reached 2.35 million So many! Look how big the market for myopia glasses is..."

Guo Hanyue said: "Yes, after your calculation, this market is indeed big."

"But, Director Li, I found that there are many old optical shops on the streets of Singapore. They may have been operating here for decades, and their customer base is very stable. How will you, an outsider like you, open an optical shop here in the future? Are there any competition among local long-established optical shops? As the saying goes, it’s hard for a strong dragon to defeat a local snake..." Liu Mengchen expressed concern.

"I'm not worried about this at all. What we will be competing for in the future is products and services with extremely high cost performance! Currently, the glasses industry is a hugely profitable industry, and we must seize this opportunity to make more money. In the future, we will open our first glasses store in Singapore After the store is opened, if the business is good, we will open a second store and a third store. Three stores, and in the future we can even expand to the surrounding Johor area in Malaysia. You two will be the first batch of optical store managers under me. In the future, I will adopt a business partner incentive mechanism and give you store managers for each store. A little share, share the results!" Li Xiaofan described a bright blueprint for the future.

"Director Li, you can't draw a pie for us, can you?" Liu Mengchen looked at Li Xiaofan and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, there will be bread. Believe me, Innachonelle will definitely come true!"

"Haha, then our sisters' bright future depends on you, Director Li!"

"Haha, let's all work together and share the fruits of our labor!"

When the movie "Rumble in the Bronx" was about to end, Jackie Chan played the Hong Kong policeman Ma Hanqiang and cooperated with the New York police to go deep into the mafia's lair. At the critical moment when they were about to rescue the detained hostages Nancy and Danny, Li Xiaofan's cell phone rang.

He quickly ran out of the cinema and answered the call. The call was from Tang Xinyi.

"Honey, where are you?"

"I'm watching the movie "Rumble in the Bronx" with two girls from the same dormitory..."

"Hate it, watching a movie with girls, two of them! You're so beautiful!"

"Haha, I promised you last time, let's fulfill it tonight. Honey, if I watch a movie with a girl alone, you should be worried. Don't worry about watching a movie with two girls!"

"Haha, I'm kidding you. Honey, I've booked a flight today, and I'll be back to Singapore the day after tomorrow for summer vacation, so we can meet soon!"

"Time flies so fast, you've been studying in Hangzhou for almost two months."

"Well, then go back and watch the movie, see you the day after tomorrow!"

...

The next afternoon, after practicing golf, Li Xiaofan returned to the office in Singapore Science Park. After opening his mailbox online, he found a new email from Masayoshi Son of SoftBank Group.

What surprised him even more was that on the CFIDO

S forum, his post about Singapore's Geylang red-light district had more than a hundred additional comments in one night.
