Chapter 136 What if the Dream Comes True?

Xinyi said coquettishly on the phone: "Oh, second sister, why are you asking so many questions! Do you want me to come over and see you?"

"Of course you are welcome! But you must first explain clearly what the relationship between this 'him' who came with you and you is?" Zi Xin is also a very serious person when doing things.

"Okay, let me introduce you here. His name is Li Xiaofan. He is from mainland China. He is my father's savior and the business partner and shareholder of my latest company!"

Tang Zixin was surprised when she heard this: "Ah, Abba's savior? When did this happen?"

"It's a long story, but the story goes like this..."

On the phone, Xinyi briefly introduced the story of how Li Xiaofan rescued Mr. Tang at Zuibaxian Restaurant to her second sister Zixin.

"Oh, that's right. Then why did you start a new company together?"

"Oh, my dear second sister, overseas phone calls are very expensive, okay! I'll tell you more about the specific things when we meet. Now you should send an invitation letter as quickly as possible. Remember to use express delivery. The sooner the better! "

Tang Zixin smiled and said: "I know, damn girl, you must have a special relationship with that Li Xiaofan!"

"Of course it's unusual. I saved my father's life! Okay, I'll hang up now and wait for your invitation!"

"Damn girl, I get it. I'll send out the invitation later! Say hello to my father for me and ask him to take care of himself! Also, last time it was such a big deal for my father, you didn't even make a call. Let us know!"

"Abba didn't allow the beating. He later felt that he was in good health and said he was afraid that if you knew about it, you would come from abroad to see him. He was afraid that it would affect your store's business and make you worry...!"

On the phone, Tang Zixin sighed: "Hey, what a strong old man!"

Mr. Tang is a philanthropic person who is kind to every woman around him and loves every daughter...

"Second sister, next time you are free, you can call me and say hello to dad!"

"That's right! I just forget about it when the restaurant business here gets busy. When I get free time, you guys are already sleeping and resting. It's my fault too! I know!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaofan and Tang Xinyi took a walk on the quiet National University of Singapore campus. This place was different from the colorful world outside, as if there was an invisible wall separating the noisy world outside from the campus.

The cool moonlight shines on the campus, making it appear peaceful and peaceful. Walking on the quiet campus, the cool breeze blows, making people feel particularly comfortable at night on campus.

Tang Xinyi held Li Xiaofan's hand and walked to the parking lot. She asked:

"Fan, after you successfully invest and make a lot of money in the future, what else do you want to do?"

Li Xiaofan teased: "Just like your father, he married four wives..."

"Haha, how dare you!" Tang Xinyi pinched Li Xiaofan's arm hard.

"Oh, it hurts like hell! Are you kidding me? Do you need to be so harsh?"

Xinyi said angrily: "Hmph, next time you talk nonsense, I'll be harsher!"

"Haha, let me tell you the truth, okay?"

"Well, tell me!"

“When I have a lot of money next time, I will learn from your Singaporean ‘Nanqiao Machinery’ spirit and start a big industry!”

"The spirit of 'Nan Chiu Mechanics'? What the hell?"

"The Nanyang Overseas Chinese Mechanics tells the story of the 'Nanyang Overseas Chinese Mechanics Returning Service Group' composed of Chinese descendants from Singapore and other places in Southeast Asia during the Second World War in the 1930s when the Japanese invaded the mainland. There were probably more than 3,000 people in this group. , many of them are children from rich families. They are In order to support the motherland in the fight against the Japanese invaders, they left their warm and wealthy families and returned to China in about nine batches to support the Anti-Japanese War. After returning to the motherland at that time, they mainly engaged in transportation and automobile maintenance on the Burma Highway to support the Anti-Japanese War. Made an outstanding contribution!”

After listening to Li Xiaofan's story about Nanqiao mechanics, Tang Xinyi was very moved.

She couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, there was such a touching story back then!"

"If something like this happened again, which country would you support, your father or your mother?" Li Xiaofan said with a smile.

Tang Xinyi said firmly: "I will definitely stand with my father and you, because my surname is Tang and I am Chinese!"

"Haha, well said!"

"Fan, just now you said you wanted to build a big industry. What do you mean?"

"My goal is to build a world-leading information and communication technology solution provider, focusing on software and hardware! It is best to connect the entire chip industry chain, including key chip lithography machines and other stuck industries. inside!"

"Fan, this goal sounds really ambitious! However, the chip industry is too expensive! A few days ago I saw a news article in the Straits Times. It said that after Singapore established the Microelectronics Research Institute IME, our Temasek Group in Singapore and Singapore Technology, a DRAM company jointly invested by Texas Instruments, HP, Canon and others The semiconductor company has been completed and put into operation. To this end, the Singapore government also plans to establish a semiconductor industry development fund with a scale of 2 billion Singapore dollars and an industrial cluster development fund! Looking at this news, chip investment is really too expensive, and it costs a lot at every turn. Even my father can't afford to invest billions or billions of new dollars, so you still want to get involved in the chip industry? "

"Haha, this is just a beautiful dream I have in the future! Maybe one day in the future, our Yifan Company will acquire Chartered Semiconductor, a company invested by Singapore's Temasek!"

The Singapore Chartered Semiconductor mentioned by Li Xiaofan was founded in 1987, and its major shareholder is the famous Singapore state-owned Temasek Group. Singapore's Chartered Semiconductor was once the world's third largest semiconductor foundry after TSMC and UMC. Chartered Semiconductor once owned six fabs in Singapore.

However, investing in a chip factory is too expensive. Singapore Chartered Semiconductor has suffered huge losses for many years after it was put into production. It has been used as an issue and focus of attack by the opposition parties in every Singapore election.

Later, even the rich Singaporean government couldn't afford to burn it, so in 2009 it was simply sold to the American GlobalFoundries company controlled by a Middle Eastern consortium. At that time, the consortium behind GlobalFoundries in the United States was ATIC, and ATIC's parent company was Mubadala, a sovereign investment company owned by the government of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. One of the purposes of purchasing the wafer fab was to Building a new wafer fab in Abu Dhabi changed the development path of Middle Eastern countries that rely on oil to make money. At that time, they were also playing a big game...

Just when Li Xiaofan was lost in thought, Tang Xinyi said angrily: "Fan, you have so many dreams, you really dare to dream! Do you know the background of our Temasek Group in Singapore?"

"I know, it's a state-owned group company directly under the Ministry of Finance of Singapore!"

"Then you still dare to think about it?"

"Haha, that's what I mean, people always need to have a dream in life..."

"But this time I feel that your dream is too far-fetched!"

"Hehe, who knows what will happen in the future. Everyone must have a dream in life, what if this dream comes true!"

"Fan, living in the present, the most important thing is for us to be happy together! Come on, give me a kiss!"

"Um!"

Boom boom, the two of them had another passionate kiss, lingering in a hidden corner of the campus...
