Chapter 187 OTO and Local Big Fish Call

Li Xiaofan answered the phone and asked, "Hello, who is this?"

"Hello, is this Director Li?" The person on the other end of the phone had a strange English voice, neither male nor female. It felt like his voice had changed.

"I am, who are you?"

"Don't you even know who I am?"

Li Xiaofan frowned, who is playing a prank?

Suddenly he heard the other party's proud laughter on the phone and suddenly realized: "Haha, is it Xinyi?"

"Haha, idiot, you can't even hear my voice!"

"Did you change your phone number?"

"No! I am now helping my family apply for Internet access at the Singtel business office. Because my mother's mobile phone was dropped once in Tokyo and there was a small problem, so she asked me to bring it to the store to help her repair it, so I simply replaced it for her. A new mobile phone, the same model as yours, Motorola 8900. Idiot, this is Mommy’s mobile phone number..."

"Haha, that's it. At first I thought some guy was playing a prank! Where are you now, little villain?"

"Singtel Business Center on Orchard Road, are you coming over?"

"Wait for me, I'll take the subway and come find you right away. I have something to discuss with you!"

"Well, okay, then I'll wait for you at Takashimaya in Ngee Ann City. You take your time, I'll go shopping for a while first!"

More than half an hour later, Li Xiaofan found Tang Xinyi in Takashimaya Department Store.

She handed Li Xiaofan a CK clothes bag and said softly: "Fan, I just bought a few boxes of CK underwear for you. It's time to change your underwear! This is a new model from CK. The clerk said it is more breathable and comfortable. , the most important thing is that the photos of the model after wearing it seem to be more three-dimensional and look very sexy!”

"Haha, you little pervert, thank you! You like these underwear so much, maybe I can wear them for you sometime?" Li Xiaofan said with a smile.

Tang Xinyi pinched Li Xiaofan's arm angrily: "I hate it, you always come to seduce the Lun family! By the way, you said you wanted to discuss things with me just now, what on earth are you talking about?"

Li Xiaofan said: "Xinyi, do you know that the sunglasses gift box you designed has become a hot product and is selling very well in Azhen's store. I sent another 500 boxes to Azhen yesterday."

Tang Xinyi laughed happily: "Really? Haha, it seems that my design level is not bad!"

"Well! Azhen said yesterday that since she made our sunglasses gift box product, she has no interest in other products in the store. Because the sunglasses gift box has high profit and sells quickly. Now she can earn enough from selling sunglasses gift boxes for a week. It’s enough to cover her entire store’s income for more than a month, and she’s so happy!”

"Wow, when you say that, I feel so accomplished!"

"Xinyi, I heard Azhen say this yesterday, and I have an idea. You might as well continue to help me design a few more new sunglasses and gift box products. We can create a series. It is best that we can launch it every quarter in the future. A new hot product, because over time people will always get tired of it..."

"Afan, what you said makes sense! After the Internet is available at home, I will study the current global fashion trends, collect some new elements, and try to design several popular products to support my dear boyfriend! "

Hearing Tang Xinyi mention the Internet, Li Xiaofan suddenly slapped his head and said loudly: "Internet! Yes, Xinyi, you reminded me. After you design the new product, we can also release the new product through Yahoo's homepage advertisement in time. Come and attract buyers from all over the world! Sold offline through Azhen Gift Shop on Orchard Road and online through Yahoo! Isn’t this the famous OTO!”

Tang Xinyi rolled her eyes and said in confusion: "OTO, what the hell?"

"Haha, OTO means Oo Offline, which means doing business online and offline together. After a few years, maybe this OTO term will be very popular..."

While the two were talking, Li Xiaofan's cell phone rang again, this time it was an unfamiliar Singapore local cell phone number.

Li Xiaofan smiled after seeing this unfamiliar number: "Xinyi, this number shouldn't be called by you, right?"

Xin Yi was happy: "Haha, do you think it's possible for me, unless I have three heads and six arms?"

Li Xiaofan answered the unfamiliar call: "Hello, who is this?"

"Hello, are you Mr. Li from Singapore Yifan Pte. Ltd.?"

"Yes, I am Li Xiaofan, who are you?"

"Hello, Mr. Li, my name is Yang Yonghui. I am the head of the procurement department of NTUC FairPrice, a Singapore Trade Union Congress cooperative. I just saw your company's advertisement on Yahoo's website. Can we chat when you are free?"

When Li Xiaofan heard about the famous Singapore Trade Union Congress fair price cooperative NTUC FairPrice, his heart was shocked: Damn it, the big fish is coming!

The Singapore Trade Union Congress (NTUC), known as NTUC in English, was established in 1961.

At that time, in Singapore, in addition to NTUC, there was also a Singapore Federation of Trade Unions called SATU formed by left-wingers. Soon after, the Singapore Trade Union Confederation SATU closed down in 1963, leaving the NTUC as the only trade union center in Singapore.

The NTUC later consisted of nearly 60 affiliated unions, 5 affiliated industry associations, 12 social enterprises, 6 related organizations and a growing ecosystem of corporate partners. More than 98% of union members in Singapore belong to the NTUC.

In 1970, Singapore experienced severe inflation. In order to cope with the rising prices brought about by high inflation, the NTUC decided to open a fair price supermarket after the advice and consultation of the Singapore government leadership to benefit the majority of Singaporean workers and ordinary people.

So in 1973, the NTUC Fairprice Supermarket was established. The first store of the NTUC Fairprice Supermarket was in Toa Payoh, Singapore. The opening ceremony was presided over by Prime Minister Lee at the time. From the high standards, it can be seen how much the Singapore government valued people's livelihood at that time.

In 1990, when former Soviet Prime Minister Ryzhkov visited Singapore, then Prime Minister Lee took him to visit NTUC Fairprice. He was surprised that Singaporean workers were able to buy meat, fruits and vegetables imported from all over the world, because the Soviet Union was facing a serious food shortage at the time...

In 1995, NTUC Fairprice was already the largest supermarket chain in Singapore, with nearly 100 supermarkets and convenience stores.

Li Xiaofan was of course very excited to be favored by NTUC Fairprice!

"Mr. Yang, no problem at all. I'll come visit you when you are free?"

"Okay, Mr. Li, or tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, you are welcome to come to our NTUC Fairprice conference room, we can meet and chat together?"

"Okay, Mr. Yang, then tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, I will visit you on time!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaofan excitedly said to Tang Xinyi: "Do you know who called me just now?"

"Who?"

"NTUC Fairprice, Singapore NTUC Fairprice!"

Tang Xinyi also shouted when she heard it: "Wow, really, NTUC Fairprice is our largest supermarket chain in Singapore!"
