Chapter 229: Don’t Despise the Young, Poor and Warm as Home
Mrs. Cai Dong laughed softly and said: "This company is too small..."
After looking at Li Xiaofan's business card, Director Cai asked strangely: "Xiao Li, how come the address on your business card is exactly the same as the address of A Ming's company?"
Mr. Tang explained: "Afan has just started his own business, so he will temporarily put his office in Amin's company for a while..."
Director Cai's tone immediately turned contemptuous: "Oh, that's it..."
Mr. Tang continued to introduce Li Xiaofan enthusiastically: "Afan, let me introduce to you these seniors in our Singapore business community. This Qiu is in the business of department stores, trading and real estate investment. The Qiu family building on Orchard Road The department store building belongs to Mr. Qiu and his family... This Mr. Cai is engaged in real estate development and investment, and his subsidiary Chua's Real Estate is a well-known listed company in Singapore... This Mr. Xu, his family owns a large rubber business in Malaysia. Garden and tin mine..."
After such a round of introduction, Mr. Tang’s three golf buddies are all big guys with a net worth of more than 100 million Singapore dollars.
Because of Mr. Tang's introduction, Li Xiaofan greeted them all with smiles.
But Qiu Dong, Cai Dong, Qiu Dong, and their families seemed to be very indifferent to Li Xiaofan.
At first they thought that the young talent brought by Mr. Tang was so great. It turned out that he was a rookie who had just started his own business and even borrowed someone else's office. Suddenly they lost interest one by one and began to ignore him, not even paying attention to him. Take a look at him.
This is the first time that Li Xiaofan has felt the arrogance and snobbery of the rich in Singapore since his rebirth.
Li Xiaofan's meal was very boring.
In this high-end golf club, Mr. Tang, Dong Qiu and Dong Cai gathered together to talk about business and golf skills. Ye Niya and his wives gathered together to talk about fashion and family issues. Tang Jiaming gathered with a group of rich second generations. Chatting about romance...
Only Li Xiaofan seemed to be someone who didn't belong to their circle at all, and stayed with them in boredom.
He began to regret that he should not have agreed to Mr. Tang coming over to participate in such a boring event today.
Because he felt that he couldn't fit into such a snobbish circle.
In the middle, Mr. Tang received 12 SGD notes handed to him by Chairman Qiu who had lost the game.
Mr. Qiu was unlucky today and lost a total of SGD 250,000.
When he gave the money, he took out an envelope from his bag, which contained 100 SGD notes.
This stack of envelopes is worth 1 million Singapore dollars.
If Li Xiaofan was still working at the Ximu Electronics Factory, even if he worked overtime every day and earned 1,400 Singapore dollars a month, it would have taken him sixty years to earn that much money.
If Li Xiaofan didn't work overtime, he would have to work at the Ximu Electronics Factory for more than 160 years to earn this 1 million Singapore dollars.
The world of the rich has only opened a small window for Li Xiaofan, who has just started his own business.
After finishing the meal, a group of old acquaintances of Mr. Tang came to the club. They smoked high-end handmade cigars and started playing Texas Hold'em poker. The stakes on the cards were not small.
Before Mr. Tang could introduce them this time, Li Xiaofan found a reason, said goodbye to everyone and left the club alone. This was not a circle of rich people like him, a rookie.
When he came out of this high-end club, what Li Xiaofan thought of was the sentence in "Fights Break the Sphere": Thirty years in the east of Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty!
Li Xiaofan took a taxi and went to the office of the OUB Center in Raffles Place to surf the Internet for a while, replied to a few emails, read some news, and visited various major
S forum.
Li Xiaofan now has "Internet addiction". He feels uneasy if he doesn't surf the Internet every day.
What makes him feel regretful is that the websites and websites that he can browse at the moment
Almost all S forums are in English, the first in the Mainland
S Shuimu Tsinghua will not be established until August this year.
However, just this month, Zhang Shuxin just founded "Beijing Yinghaiwei Technology Co., Ltd." Yinghaiwei is about to start its ISP business, which is the Internet service provider business, that is, to comprehensively provide Internet access services and information services to the majority of users. and value-added services.
The situation is very similar to that of Teacher Ma. At the beginning of 1995, Zhang Shuxin and her husband went to Silicon Valley in the United States for an inspection. They originally wanted to negotiate the agent sales of Dell and Gateway computer business in the United States. However, the Internet world they discovered during their stay in Silicon Valley in the United States made her Enlightened and as excited as Columbus discovering the American continent, the couple immediately "horsed back home". After returning to China, she and her husband mortgaged their home and company to the bank and used 7 million to create "Yinghaiwei". This was one of the first domestic Internet providers to propose providing Chinese information on the international Internet and the first to provide ISP services. .
Zhang Shuxin's Yinghaiwei Technology Company is about to copy the one-stop business model of AOL, providing "forums", "post office", "coffee house", "game city", "news night club", electronic shopping, virtual currency "credit points" "And other various colorful Internet services of "Yinghaiwei Space and Time"...
When Li Xiaofan was surfing the Internet, he suddenly thought of a good business: preemptively registering website domain names!
You may be able to register the domain names of SINA, QQ, 163, BAIDU, etc. from Internet giants in advance, and then bargain with these giants when the time comes...
But registering too early is useless and wastes annual domain name registration fees. Timely registration is very important.
He couldn't help but feel a mischievous joy when he thought that those powerful Internet bosses would discuss purchasing domain names with him in the future...
…
When Li Xiaofan returned to the terraced house dormitory, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.
When entering the living room, the tempting aroma of food wafted inside. Guo Hanyue and Liu Mengchen were both busy in the kitchen.
After Li Xiaofan entered the kitchen, he asked strangely: "Don't you two beauties have to work overtime today?"
Liu Mengchen, who was helping wash the vegetables, said, "I'm tired! It's rare for us to have a day off today."
Guo Hanyue said angrily: "You guys are really good at choosing the time. You came back just as we started cooking! I originally wanted to call you and ask you if you would be back for dinner in the evening."
Li Xiaofan asked: "What day is it today? You are making such a big show of it?"
Guo Hanyue said with a smile: "Because we have a rare day off today, we are in a good mood. We went to the edge wet market together in the morning to buy some vegetables and came back to cook some of our favorite dishes."
The wet market in Guo Hanyue's mouth means "wet market" in Malay.
Around six o'clock, Guo Hanyue and Liu Mengchen brought out a fragrant six dishes and one soup: fish-flavored shredded pork, kung pao chicken, boiled fish, boiled shrimp, stir-fried vegetables and tomato egg drop soup.
After Guo Hanyue took out a few cans of Tiger Brand beer from the refrigerator, the three of them sat around, raised their glasses and started eating.
Li Xiaofan tasted the boiled fish and praised: "Well, it's delicious, so fragrant, and spicy enough! Yueyue, your cooking is really good. I feel like I can open a Sichuan-style restaurant in Singapore."
Seeing Li Xiaofan and Liu Mengchen eating with gusto, Guo Hanyue showed a satisfied smile.
Compared to the luxury golf club in the morning, which was luxurious but full of snobbishness and indifference, Li Xiaofan felt like the warmth of home was here only now.
Liu Mengchen suddenly suggested: "Brother Fan, we haven't watched a movie together for a long time. I just saw an advertisement in Lianhe Zaobao. Now major theaters in Singapore are showing a movie "The King of Thieves" starring Simon Yam and Simon Kwan. How about we finish our meal? Going to watch a movie in Tampines?”
