Chapter 328: Two Billionaires and the Chinese Version of "Masayoshi Son"
"Director Zhao, I'm sorry, I've already arranged all my time for tomorrow. Is it possible the day after tomorrow morning?" Li Xiaofan replied.
"Well, OK, it should be possible. I'll check with our boss!" Zhao Lixuan replied on the phone.
After returning to the dormitory, Li Xiaofan took a shower and went to bed to catch up on his sleep.
At about 10 o'clock in the evening, the dormitory became lively. Guo Hanyue and Liu Mengchen came back from their English tutoring after get off work.
After the Chinese New Year, Li Xiaofan opened a new branch of Yifan Optical Glasses in Bedok, hired several new staff, and sent Liu Mengchen to the Bedok store as the store manager.
After the store was fully staffed, Guo Hanyue and Liu Mengchen now took advantage of the Monday, Wednesday, Friday evenings and half a day on Sunday to attend an intermediate English improvement class held in the Tampines community. The tuition fee is very cheap, and the Singapore government subsidizes half of the cost.
"Boss, you're back! How is it? How is your Yahoo stock listing?" Liu Mengchen greeted Li Xiaofan happily after seeing him coming downstairs.
Liu Mengchen and her friends usually only read the Chinese version of Lianhe Zaobao and rarely read the English version of Straits Times. They don’t know that Li Xiaofan is now a billionaire worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Li Xiaofan smiled and said, “Well, it’s quite successful. According to the Yahoo stock price just now, both of you have become wealthy women with a net worth of more than 100 million yuan!”
Before going downstairs just now, the agent Abao sent a text message to Li Xiaofan, the latest opening price of Yahoo stock is US dollars, multiplied by 155,000 shares, which is equal to more than 12 million US dollars. The exchange rate of US dollars to RMB is about 8.3, which is about 100 million yuan.
Guo Hanyue said in surprise: "Afan, is this true? You are not kidding us, are you?"
Li Xiaofan raised his mobile phone and said: "Just now the stockbroker sent a text message saying that the latest price of Yahoo stock is US dollars. Each of you holds 155,000 shares for me. If converted into RMB according to the current market value, it is more than 100 million RMB!"
"Oh, my God, if all our stocks are worth 100 million RMB, then your net worth will be even more amazing, more than 10 billion RMB?" Liu Mengchen screamed.
"Haha, yes, but these are still paper wealth at present. Our Yahoo stocks cannot be circulated for the time being, and there is a lock-up period..."
"Boss, don't be too modest, I admire you too much!"
Liu Mengchen happily rushed over and hugged Li Xiaofan enthusiastically.
"Don't be crazy, you little girl!" Guo Hanyue said angrily.
Li Xiaofan smiled and said, "You should be ready tomorrow morning. I promised the reporter from the Straits Times to come and interview you."
"Ah, why do reporters want to interview us? No!" Guo Hanyue and Liu Mengchen waved their hands.
Li Xiaofan said seriously, "You two have to accept this interview. This interview will be very useful for your future application for EP permits and permanent residents PR!"
"Okay, then what should we say when the reporter comes tomorrow morning?" Liu Mengchen asked.
"One thing, you must clear the relationship between the two holding companies you hold on behalf of me and me. You must not say that you hold these two investment companies on my behalf! You two can say that you are friends from the mainland. After you saved some money, you occasionally knew that I was investing in Yahoo. Because you are very interested in the newly emerging Internet industry, you followed me to invest in Yahoo..."
Li Xiaofan patiently taught them several times how to deal with the interview of the reporter from the Straits Times tomorrow morning.
It was past eleven o'clock in the evening. Li Xiaofan was half lying on the bed reading a book, and Guo Hanyue, wearing a sexy pajamas, sneaked in.
"Is Mengchen asleep?" Li Xiaofan asked.
"This girl is sleeping soundly. You can hear her snoring outside the door!" Guo Hanyue said with a smile.
After Guo Hanyue got on Li Xiaofan's big bed, she lay in his arms and said angrily: "Are you exhausted from this trip to the United States?"
"It's okay, just like before. I can't adjust to the time difference. I don't sleep very well. I often wake up after sleeping for two or three hours."
"Humph, then you must be tired. You can't adjust to the time difference, and you have to deal with your Tang Xinyi..."
Guo Hanyue's words were full of jealousy.
"Haha, are you jealous?" Li Xiaofan said with a smile.
Guo Hanyue said faintly: "How can I be jealous of her? She is your real girlfriend! I am just your temporary partner underground..."
Li Xiaofan was stunned by Yueyue's words and didn't know how to respond. Before Guo Hanyue got together with him, she knew that Li Xiaofan had a real girlfriend.
"Okay, stop daydreaming. I'm not blaming you. I did it voluntarily. Ah Fan, I love you!"
After saying that, Guo Hanyue turned off the desk lamp, and her red hot body and lips covered Li Xiaofan...
The next morning, Straits Times reporter Xu Manli came to Li Xiaofan's office in Singapore Science Park and conducted an in-depth interview with Li Xiaofan.
This interview was quite in-depth, and Xu Manli started with Li Xiaofan's birth and childhood.
In order to make the logic of the story smooth, Li Xiaofan appropriately "packaged" his past and resume. He became a distinguished young man who had been obsessed with studying emerging industries and investment knowledge since he was a junior high school student in China. After arriving in Singapore, Singapore, an international metropolis, opened his eyes even more and made him more powerful. He came into contact with a lot of the latest Internet and venture capital-related information through his fellow students studying at the School of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore and the Nanyang Tang Group. I caught the investment opportunity of this Yahoo project in time...
Li Xiaofan packages himself a bit like the Chinese mainland version of "Masayoshi Son."
After interviewing Li Xiaofan, Xu Manli also went to two Yifan optical stores in Tampines and Bedok to briefly interview Guo Hanyue and Liu Mengchen.
In the afternoon, "Lianhe Zaobao" financial reporter Yang Meiqian also came over to conduct an in-depth interview with Li Xiaofan.
At about ten o'clock the next morning, Lai Sun Cruise Company Chairman and President Lin Guotai and his party, accompanied by Marketing Director Zhao Lixuan, came to the Singapore Science Park and paid a return visit to Li Xiaofan.
At the end of last year, the popularity of Yahoo! Singapore after its launch attracted the attention of Lai Sun Cruises. After Zhao Lixuan came to visit Li Xiaofan, the two companies signed a year-round online advertising and promotion cooperation agreement. Later, under the arrangement of Zhao Lixuan, Li Xiaofan visited Lin Guotai.
Because it was just their first meeting, Li Xiaofan didn't say much and just paid a courtesy visit. That visit made Li Xiaofan feel that the other party was very polite, even a little cold. Because Genting Group is so famous in Southeast Asia, too many people want to get close to potential successors of Genting Group like Lin Guotai...
Therefore, this time Li Xiaofan had just returned from the United States. When he got off the plane, he received a call from Zhao Lizuan saying that Lin Guotai wanted to take the initiative to visit him. Li Xiaofan was somewhat surprised.
What does the future Genting Gambling King want to talk to me about, and what is his purpose?
Li Xiaofan's heart was full of curiosity.
