Chapter 220 Project Planning and Special Feelings

After taking their seats, Li Xiaofan introduced Aaron to Pan Zhanlong and Gu Qijun.

Pan Zhanlong and Gu Qijun also just arrived, and they haven't even returned their orders.

So, Li Xiaofan helped everyone order some of the restaurant's special classic dishes such as jackfruit roasted pork, cod with black truffle sauce, braised shark's fin, fried noodles with prawns, and shrimp balls with passion fruit.

The "Xiu Cai" restaurant is very famous in the national university for its delicacies that are delicious and delicious.

After the waiter brought the ice-cold Tiger Beer, Li Xiaofan raised his glass and said, "Here, cheers!"

After Pan Zhanlong took a big gulp of cold beer, he burped and asked with satisfaction: "Afan, what brought you here today? You are in such a good mood. Do you want us to come to our best restaurant in NUS for dinner?"

Li Xiaofan smiled at Pan Zhanlong and said, "Old Pan, do you know that I am now a shareholder of Yahoo!"

"Here, is it true? We use this Yahoo search website almost every day. It's very easy to use. Now Yahoo search engine is very popular in the industry!" Pan Zhanlong and Gu Qijun exclaimed in surprise.

Li Xiaofan showed them both a copy of Yahoo's registration certificate that Yang Zhiyuan faxed to him a few days ago. The shareholder list clearly showed that the current fourth shareholder of Yahoo in the United States is "Singapore Yifan Private Co., Ltd.", accounting for 10% of shares.

"Oh shit, Afan, you are so awesome! How did you do this?" Pan Zhanlong and Gu Qijun gave Li Xiaofan a thumbs up. Before, they only knew that Li Xiaofan started his own business and set up a small company, Yifan, to engage in small businesses such as trading and after-sales service for circuit board testing machines.

Li Xiaofan smiled mysteriously and did not answer their questions directly. Instead, he raised the beer glass in his hand and said, "Lao Pan, Ah Jun, are you two interested in working part-time to earn some extra money and work with me on a new project?"

After taking a sip of cold beer, Lao Pan raised the clumsy and heavy pair of myopia glasses in front of him and sighed: "Of course I am interested. We are so poor studying all day long!"

Gu Qijun asked curiously: "Afan, what's the new project?"

"An ICT system project! Of course, the ICT I am talking about is not the Information and Communication Technology you usually refer to, but refers to the In Circuit Test, ICT online test system project. Our future partners for new projects are HP and Electronic industry testing giants like Teradyne serve multinational electronics companies such as Flextronics, IBM, Seagate, and Compaq Computer..."

After Li Xiaofan's explanation, Pan Zhanlong and Gu Qijun probably understood.

Pan Zhanlong said: "Afan, I am very familiar with this UNIX system, but the HP3070 test machine you just mentioned has never been in contact with the ICT industry?"

"Lao Pan, don't worry. This HP3070 test machine is a piece of cake for a PhD in computer science like you. You don't have to worry yet. I have a plan now. I want to establish a new Singapore Yifan Technology Company. , apply to settle in the Singapore Science Park next to your school. At present, we may first cooperate with HP. , help customers like Flextronics to make test fixtures and write test program software related to HP3070 test machines. Your main job in the future is to help customers write test program software related to HP3070 test machines. This job is for top computer majors like you. After some training, it’s really not difficult!”

Li Xiaofan continued: "For electronic companies such as Flextronics, IBM, Seagate, Compaq Computer, etc., every time they iterate a new model of product, even for a small modification, they have to change the circuit board model, thus the entire test fixture and test software must be remade and written, so this is provided for HP HP3070. The business volume of testing fixtures and testing software is huge. Not only is the business stable, but the profits are also considerable. Are you two willing to work together on this project? The most important thing is that this new project will not affect your studies. I plan to do so. Lixin Company is located in the Singapore Science Park next to your campus, about ten minutes' walk away..."

When Pan Zhanlong and Gu Qijun heard that there was such a good opportunity, they showed great interest on their faces and asked with concern: "Of course I am interested! Afan, what is the crucial next step for us to do?"

Li Xiaofan raised his glass and said: "After I go back tonight, I will seize the time to write a business plan in the next two days. Then I will come to you to discuss some specific details!"

"Well, then we'll be waiting for your good news!"

After dinner and separation from Pan Zhanlong and Gu Qijun, Li Xiaofan was taking a nap on the MRT subway when his cell phone rang.

At first glance, it was Tang Xinyi calling.

"Xinyi, are you back?"

"On the evening flight, I arrived in Singapore and went home to have dinner, and now I have just returned to my room."

"How's it going? Is Beijing fun?"

Tang Xinyi said angrily on the phone: "The Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Old Summer Palace, the Great Wall and other places really shocked me. I also went to inspect the legendary Central Academy of Fine Arts. Unfortunately, the only regret is that you are not with me..."

"Next time we have a chance, let's go to Beijing together in autumn. The Great Wall is particularly beautiful in autumn, with layers of red forests, which looks like a beautiful oil painting. You can bring your easel and create a work!"

"Wow, I'm so eager to go there after hearing you say that!"

"There are so many beautiful places in mainland China! Hangzhou, Mingzhou and Beijing, where you went this time, are just the tip of the iceberg. There are still many places waiting for you to explore and discover..."

"Well, this time I bought a lot of books introducing domestic tourism in the mainland. Next time I plan to go to Hangzhou to study, I will have the opportunity to go there more. You guys must come to accompany me when you are free!"

"Well, if I am free, I will definitely accompany you!"

"Afan, I went to your hometown Mingzhou with Mommy this time, which actually shocked me!"

Li Xiaofan asked curiously: "Oh, what shocked you about our hometown Mingzhou? ”

“It’s the Tiantong Temple you accompanied us to.”

“Ah, what do you mean?”

“I don’t know why, but that day, when I arrived at the lush and green Wansong Avenue of Tiantong Temple, I felt a special tranquility in my heart, and I didn’t feel impetuous at all. Moreover, it seemed that I had been to this place before, and it was a familiar feeling…”

Li Xiaofan smiled and said, “That may be because your mom is a believer of Caodong Sect, and your mom must have taken you to visit many temples in Tokyo and other places before? The Tang and Song dynasties were the period when Zhijiang Province and Mingzhou had the most frequent cultural exchanges with Japan. At that time, Mingzhou Port became the main sea route for Japanese monks to enter and leave China. Therefore, many of the temples you saw in Japan before were moved there in imitation of Chinese temples in the Tang and Song dynasties…”

Tang Xinyi shook her head on the other end of the phone and said, “No, it’s a very special feeling anyway…”
