Chapter 190: The Price of the First Step and Meeting the "Mother-in-Law"

Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "Manager Yang, to tell you the truth, our Singapore Yifan Company is actually one of the shareholders of Yahoo now, so we thought of placing ads on their website..."

"Wow, that's amazing. Your company is actually a shareholder of Yahoo! The search function on this Yahoo website is very easy to use, very powerful, and quite good!"

As an "old Internet user" who has been online for several months, Yang Yonghui speaks highly of Yahoo. He was even more cordial when he heard that Li Xiaofan's company was a shareholder of this company.

When talking about the Internet, Li Xiaofan and Yang Yonghui, who had just returned from Silicon Valley, had a lot in common. The topic of the discussion between the two of them for more than 20 minutes before they met became the Internet.

Halfway through the conversation, Yang Yonghui smiled and said: "Director Li, I'm sorry, haha, I almost forgot the theme of our meeting today!"

After a good start, the subsequent communication will be smooth.

After Yang Yonghui read the product catalog and quotation brought by Li Xiaofan, he said to Li Xiaofan: "Director Li, I am very interested in your product catalog and quotation, but I personally feel that the quotation of some products is too high..."

Yang Yonghui continued: "Director Li, what I want to tell you is that the mission of our NTUC FairPrice Co-operative is to ensure that Singaporeans can purchase high-quality food and basic daily necessities at affordable prices. NTUC FairPrice Co-operative has been established since 1973 Since then, it has played a role in stabilizing the prices of basic daily necessities in Singapore. role to meet the daily needs of Singaporeans. What we need are good products with good quality, low price and high cost performance, so if you want to do business with us and intend to be our supplier, you must have some thoughts. Be prepared, there may not be high profits, but there may be a stable business..."

"Manager Yang, I very much agree with your idea, and I admire NTUC Affordable Cooperative's contribution to ordinary workers and people in Singapore since its establishment! I am a member of your NTUC and a consumer of Affordable Cooperative Supermarket. Please Don’t worry, our Yifan company is also based on the principle of providing low-cost, high-quality services and products that satisfy customers. We will do our best to cooperate with your NTUC Affordable Co-operative Supermarket and strive for the opportunity to become a qualified supplier!”

"It would be great if you agree with our concept! Let me choose a dozen products first. How about your company requoting us a price?"

"Okay, no problem!"

Next, Yang Yonghui selected some of the most commonly used daily plastic products such as plastic washbasins, cups, buckets, mops, lunch boxes, plastic chairs, chopping boards, etc. and asked Li Xiaofan to go back and quote a new price.

The quantity is not large, 10,000 pieces each.

Li Xiaofan understands that this quotation to Singapore NTUC Affordable Cooperative is very important. He must seize this opportunity and strive to win this "stepping stone" order even if he does not make money!

After leaving NTUC Affordable Cooperative, Li Xiaofan returned to the OUB center office and faxed the list to Wu Yuanpei, the boss of Lixin Plastic Company in Ningdong, and Wu Xiumei of Tiandi International Trading Company, and then called them both to explain. Knowing the stakes involved, let them quote the cheapest price as soon as possible!

When Li Xiaofan called Wu Xiumei of Tiandi International Trading Company, he told her that Ningdong Lixin Plastic Company would not contact her for the time being and that he would deal with it directly.

"Sister Xiumei, the quotation for this batch of daily plastic products is very important. You have to make it clear to the manufacturers that this is the largest supermarket chain in Singapore that is asking for prices. Singapore currently has a population of more than 3.5 million, plus a large number of foreign talents and Workers, etc., the permanent population has exceeded 4 million. This is definitely a high-consuming group with very strong purchasing power, which requires manufacturers to consider this business from a long-term perspective. Sister Xiumei, we will win this time even if we do not make money. This is the first stepping stone order!”

"Afan, I understand. I will immediately go to some plastic product manufacturers in and around Mingzhou City to inquire about prices, and I will try to send you the latest quotations within two days!"

Time came to Saturday in the blink of an eye, and Li Xiaofan felt a little uneasy thinking about going to meet his future "mother-in-law" for the first time this afternoon.

After dinner in the afternoon, Li Xiaofan first took a taxi to the Far East Flower Center on Thomson Road, entered the fresh cut flower cold storage and bought some flowers.

Following Tang Xinyi's instructions a few days ago, he selected five kinds of fresh flowers, including cypress, monk's shoe chrysanthemum, primrose, money flower, and holly, and asked the florist at the door to help wrap them into a beautiful bouquet.

I also bought a large bouquet of champagne roses.

After wandering around for a while, I called a taxi from a rehabilitation company around five o'clock and rushed to the Tang Family Villa in Bukit Timah Hill.

When Li Xiaofan entered the villa with two bouquets of flowers, Ye Niya and Tang Anna's mother and daughter had not arrived yet. In the large living room of the villa, Mr. Tang, Mr. and Mrs. Tang Jiaming, Tang Xinyi and Huizhen were drinking tea and chatting. Of course, there were Li Xiaofan saw Tang Xinyi’s mother, Fujiwara Kyoko, for the first time.

When he first saw Kyoko Fujiwara, Li Xiaofan had an amazing feeling: the Kyoko Fujiwara in front of him looked so much like Akana Rika!

Akana Rika is the heroine in the popular classic TV series "Tokyo Love Story" in the 1990s. She is the embodiment of gentleness, sunshine, straightforwardness, dares to love, dares to hate, and is confident in herself!

The actress who plays the role of Akana Rika is Suzuki Honami, who was once the eternal "sweetheart" in the hearts of the Japanese, a beautiful queen. Before Li Xiaofan was reborn, there was a movie called "Detective Chinatown 3" that told a story about solving a case in Tokyo, in which Japanese god-level actors Miura Tomokazu and Suzuki Honami performed. Of course, Suzuki Honami was already in her fifties at that time, very old.

But the Fujiwara Kyoko in front of him is very well maintained. At the age of fifty, she looks only about forty. It can be imagined that she should be more beautiful when she was a flight attendant in her twenties. No wonder Mr. Tang pursued the beautiful Fujiwara Kyoko madly for half a year before he took her down and took her as his third wife.

After seeing Li Xiaofan coming in, because Li Xiaofan knew everyone else inside, Mr. Tang introduced Fujiwara Kyoko to him alone:

"Kyoko, this guy is the Afan who saved me before, a young man from mainland China, who is currently starting a business and working hard in Singapore!"

"Oh, this is the legendary Afan, Afan, hello!" Fujiwara Kyoko stood up and bowed slightly to Li Xiaofan, very polite. Fujiwara Kyoko speaks fluent English, after all, she has lived in Singapore for more than 20 years, but her pronunciation still retains many Japanese accents, and this accent is difficult to change.

"Hello, Auntie Kyoko, nice to meet you, these are flowers for you!"

After seeing the flowers, Fujiwara Kyoko exclaimed: "Wow, beautiful flowers, champagne roses, trumpet creepers, monk shoe chrysanthemums, primroses, money flowers, holly... I like both of these bouquets very much, thank you, Afan!"

Tang Xinyi quietly gave Li Xiaofan a thumbs up, which was seen by Irene next to her. Irene leaned over to her ear and whispered softly: "Girl, it must be you who gave Afan the idea, hehe..."

While they were talking, a car horn sounded outside, and then the big iron gate of the villa opened, and a white BMW drove in.

The nanny came over to report: Ye Niya and Tang Anna's mother and daughter's car has arrived.

After hearing this, Li Xiaofan couldn't help but feel uneasy: What will happen to Fujiwara Anzi after seeing Ye Niya?

Taunt? Swear? Pull hair and fight?
