Chapter 146 Ningdong's Call and Notice of Going to Japan. Please Order the First Chapter of Chapter 141

After Li Xiaofan came out of the immigration office, he received an international long-distance call from his old classmate Wu Xiuli from China.

Wu Xiuli said on the phone: "Xiaofan, as soon as I got to work in the morning, I received the samples of plastic daily necessities you couriered from Singapore. I have just arrived at the office of Wu Yuanpei, the boss of Ningdong Lixin Plastic Company. In this way, now Can I ask Mr. Wu to call you directly?”

"Oh, okay, Xiuli, thank you for your hard work! Then give Mr. Wu a call!"

Then a middle-aged man's voice with a strong Ningdong accent came over the phone. The voice was very loud: "Hello, is it Xiao Li? I'm Wu Yuanpei from Ningdong Lixin Plastics!"

"Hello, Mr. Wu!"

"Xiao Li, Teacher Xiao Wu brought your sample to me just now. We took a quick look and found that your seven-piece set of plastic lunch boxes for microwave ovens is very simple. It is similar to the products we exported from Germany and the United States before. It’s almost the same size, so there’s no difficulty. We can make a mold and produce a sample for you right away!”

"That's great! Mr. Wu, do you know how much it costs to open a mold? And remember to use the best imported No. 5 PP polypropylene material!"

"Xiao Li, please don't worry. We already have experience in making plastic lunch boxes for microwave ovens exported to Europe and the United States. Recently we hired a mold-making expert from Shanghai who retired from a state-owned enterprise, and bought special turning, milling, precision grinding machines and other processing machines. equipment, now our factory can directly Mold opening is now in progress, which greatly saves the cost of mold opening. I just showed these samples to a master in Shanghai, and we made a brief estimate. Your plastic lunch box set for microwave ovens plus plastic frames, etc., molds The fee should be about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan!”

"Mr. Wu, look at it, how much deposit do I need to give you for the mold opening?"

"Xiao Li, just ask for 10,000 to 20,000 yuan! With Teacher Xiao Wu here, and we are all fellow villagers, we can easily discuss this matter! Besides, there is still a long way for us to cooperate in the future. If you Money is tight, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t pay a deposit. I’ll make the sample and send it to you as soon as possible!”

Listening to Wu Yuanpei's tone, Li Xiaofan felt like he was a person who was doing great things, not a petty person. I feel like I could make a friend!

"Mr. Wu, can you give me an account number and I can wire you three thousand dollars?"

"So much? Xiao Li, I heard from Teacher Wu that your Singapore company has just been established as a partnership. If liquidity is really tight, it doesn't matter if you work less..."

"It's okay, Mr. Wu. If you put together this little money, you can still get it. We have to follow the rules of the world when doing business, so please give me your factory's Bank of China account number!"

"Okay, I'll report it to you now..."

"Mr. Wu, I've made a note of it. The wire transfer should be made as soon as this afternoon. Then I'll help you speed up the mold opening and assemble the samples!"

"No problem, Xiao Li, I will arrange the work order now!"

After talking on the phone with Wu Yuanpei and Wu Xiuli, Li Xiaofan called Jenny and asked her to wire $3,000 from Yifan Company's account to the Chinese bank account of Ningdong Lixin Plastic Company.

Li Xiaofan was sitting on the bus back to the terraced house dormitory when he received another call from Tang Xinyi.

She asked with concern on the phone: "Fan, is the interview at the Immigration Department over?"

"Well, it just ended..."

"How's it going? Did it go well?"

"Wow, I was rejected directly..."

"Really or not? These people are too blind!"

Li Xiaofan burst out laughing on the phone: "Haha, Pai Seh, it's fake! The interview just now went very well. I personally feel there shouldn't be any problems. Now I'll wait for the official notification letter from the Immigration Department when I get back!"

Pai Seh is a word frequently used by Singaporean Chinese. It comes from Hokkien and literally means "sorry". It is usually used to express a feeling of apology and embarrassment.

"Okay, you guys have learned to lie!"

After Tang Xinyi scolded, she said happily: "Fan, that's great! How can we congratulate..."

"Either you go shopping on Orchard Road after get off work. Sister Azhen called me earlier. Those sunglasses are selling very well. Please ask me to get the money. Or I'll treat you to Orchard Road to watch a movie and have a big meal in the evening. ?”

"Okay! However, I have an Argentine tango training class tonight, so I'll pick you up after you get off work in the evening..."

"Okay, then we'll see you after get off work!"

"Wait, Fan, I almost forgot to tell you something big!"

"What's the big deal?"

"The invitation letter sent by the second sister from the United States has arrived!"

"Then just give it to me tonight."

"Well, then I'll go to the U.S. Embassy in Singapore in the afternoon and get some blank visa application forms for you..."

"Xinyi, thank you, you are so thoughtful!"

"Look, we're seeing each other again, no thanks! Just be nice to me..."

…

When Li Xiaofan returned to the terraced house dormitory, Liu Mengchen had just gotten up. She works the second shift these days and came back from get off work at midnight last night.

She was wearing a short pajamas, leaning sleepily on the sofa in the living room and watching TV. She looked confused.

She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Afan, why didn't you go to work today?"

"I went out to do something today..."

"I haven't seen you for several days. What have you been busy with recently?"

"I'm busy working to make money..."

"Oh, can you help me with something?"

"What's the matter? There's no need to be polite between you and me. Let's just talk about it!"

"A few days ago, I took out all the money in the bank and gave it to Sister Yueyue, but I found that I didn't have enough for my living expenses this month. Can you lend me some?"

"Haha, such a small thing! How much do you want?"

"Almost one hundred yuan is enough for me to last until the day when I get paid..."

Li Xiaofan took out five 100-dollar banknotes from his pocket and handed them over: "Here, take them first!"

"There are so many, we can't use so much!"

"That's so long-winded. When you are growing, you need to take more nutrition! You can pay me back when your salary is paid!"

After Liu Mengchen took the money, he was happy: "Haha, I'm growing taller, I'm still in puberty!"

"Mengchen, what are you doing for lunch?"

"I plan to eat instant noodles and save some money to live..."

"Come on, let me treat you. How about I invite you to the Orchid Flower Village Market to eat fish head rice noodles together?"

"Isn't it bad to keep eating what you have? As the saying goes: Eat others' mouths and take advantage of others..."

"Then when you have money, you can invite me back and I'll be done with it! Stop being so nagging and go upstairs to change clothes!"

"Oh well……"

Walking on the road to Orchid Flower Village Market, Liu Mengchen sighed and said: "I don’t know how Sister Yueyue and her father are doing. Ever since Sister Yueyue returned to China, I feel empty in my heart, as if something is missing. It seems like there is no one left to talk or quarrel with when I return to the dormitory..."

"I'm not here!"

"It's rare to see a single figure of yours!"

Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "I may have a lot of time to bicker with you in the future..."

"How is it possible? I work the night shift now and I rarely meet you once..."

After eating fish head rice noodles with Liu Mengchen, Li Xiaofan returned to work at Ximu Electronics Factory in the afternoon.

As soon as he arrived at the workshop, he was called over by the workshop director Lin Qianxue.

"Afan, your and Aaron's visas for Japan have been approved. Get ready. This Thursday we will fly to Tokyo for training with Daban!"
