Chapter 271: Do Something Big

"Xiumei, what's wrong?" Li Xiaofan asked.

"I went to the Free Trade Zone Management Committee in the afternoon to attend a symposium on foreign trade work, and reported to a group of leaders such as the city leader in charge of open economy work and the Municipal Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau. This leader was very interested in our company's entrepreneurial story. He is interested and said that he wants to promote it to the whole city. When you return to China, he will invite you to his office to have a good chat with you! "

"Oh, I know about this."

"Also, after the People's Daily publicity, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and the Provincial Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation have been in contact with the Mingzhou Municipal Government in the past few days, saying that leaders will come to our company to conduct research in the near future..."

"Haha, Xiumei, don't be nervous. The main business of our company is still business. You can turn down some reception work. Just say that the company boss is in Singapore and wait until the boss comes back!"

"Okay, then I feel confident."

Li Xiaofan and Wu Xiumei had just finished talking on the phone when another call came from the Singapore Small and Medium Enterprises Association.

The call was from Secretary-General Guo Yunyi.

"Director Li, let me tell you some good news. In the past two days, our President Diane took me to communicate with the leaders of the Singapore National Productivity Board NPB and other related business departments. The leaders of several departments attach great importance to your Yahoo! They are very interested in the Singapore Station Plan. The National Productivity Bureau and the Economic Development Bureau and several other departments would like to confirm the authenticity of this matter. Please contact Yahoo! and ask them to send a formal project proposal to Singapore by fax. Is it convenient to send the fax to Yahoo! in the United States?”

"No problem, Secretary-General Guo, just tell me the fax numbers of several departments. After Yahoo America comes to work in the evening, I will ask Yahoo America to send the fax to confirm this matter."

"That's great! The reply from Director Li, the National Productivity Board (NPB), the Economic Development Board (EDB) and other departments is that once they receive the formal proposal from Yahoo!, they will ask us, the Singapore Small and Medium Enterprises Association, to work with you Yifanyi The two units of Fan Technology Pte. Ltd. together formally submitted a formal project application report to their departments. Then these departments will meet to study our report, and then give us a formal reply on how to fund this new project and what kind of preferential policies we will provide. Of course, in the meantime, your company and Yahoo may need to send people to communicate with us. These departments do a lot of communication, maybe in the form of face-to-face meetings, and some can communicate through emails..."

"No problem, Secretary-General Guo, I will just wait for your notification to implement it."

"Okay, Director Li, thank you for your cooperation! From the communication between President Diana and I over the past two days with the relevant government departments in Singapore, these departments have given us a very positive feeling. For the first time that day, President Diana and I Just like when I saw your business proposal, the heads of these business departments were also very excited when they saw your plan. Anyway, my overall feeling is: This is something!”

"That's great. Secretary-General Guo hopes that our cooperation can be successful! I will write an email to the two founders and CEO of the American company and ask them to send a formal fax."

"Okay, then I'll hang up the phone first. I'll text the contact persons and fax numbers of several departments to your mobile phone right away!"

After Li Xiaofan finished writing the email to Jerry Yang, Ferro and Tim Kuger, he went to the Yifan Optical Shop in Tampines.

There are no people queuing up in the store these days, but the store's business is still quite good, and there is still a lot of people going in and out of the optical store.

Daisha has not come to help these days. Guo Hanyue and Liu Mengchen can fully handle the business in the store.

By the time it was dinner time around six o'clock in the evening, there were far fewer customers entering the store.

Li Xiaofan personally helped them go to the food court next door to pack Hainanese chicken rice, Hokkien fried noodles, fried kway teow, barley water and other delicacies for them.

While eating with them, Li Xiaofan took a sip of barley water and said to Guo Hanyue and Liu Mengchen: "You two girls, I have something to discuss with you."

Liu Mengchen took a bite of Hainan chicken rice and said, "Boss Li, just do as you ask, don't be so polite!"

Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "I want you to become shareholders of Yahoo! USA..."

Guo Hanyue frowned and said, "We have no money!"

Li Xiaofan was happy and said with a smile: "Haha, I'll pay for it. I want to trouble you to hold it for me."

"What kind of dharma-holding agent?" Liu Mengchen asked curiously.

"I have communicated with Aaron and would like to ask you two to register two new companies with Aaron respectively, and then I will use the names of the two new companies to invest in Yahoo. I have also thought about the share ratio and name of the company. Well, Yueyue's company is called Singapore Longyue Investment Pte. Ltd., and Mengchen's company is called Singapore Longmeng Investment Pte. Ltd. You each hold 98% of the shares in the new company, and A'long holds 2%. Can you guys help me with this?"

"It's okay to help. Boss Li, what's the purpose of doing this? Why don't you invest in your own company? Why do we need to register the company separately from Aaron?" The curious Liu Mengchen had a series of questions.

"Okay, let me briefly explain to you the purpose of my doing this. According to the Singapore Registration Act, among the shareholders of a new company registered in Singapore, there must be at least one Singapore citizen, permanent resident PR or EP permit holder. This is why I have to let Aaron come forward to register a new company with you. As for why I want you two to be the major shareholders and set up a new investment company to hold shares on my behalf, it is mainly to facilitate the reduction of shares once Yahoo is listed in the United States in the future. This matter is a bit complicated, and I will explain it to you slowly next time..."

"Okay, I probably understand it a little bit. Then, Boss Li, are you so confident in the two of us? Aren't you afraid that we will steal your shares in the future?" Liu Mengchen said with a playful smirk.

"Haha, I should be quite relieved about you and treat you two as good people. Of course, I will sign a formal proxy holding agreement with you at that time. And if you really want to blacklist these shares, you will not be able to provide proof of your investment ability and investment at that time, because the money invested in Yahoo will be transferred from Yifan's company account to your new company's account..."

"Haha, Boss Li, it turns out that you are still wary of us!"

"Haha, just a joke, we rely on trust between us. Tomorrow, Aaron will take you to the Singapore Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority, which is responsible for company registration in Singapore, and we will quickly register the new company. Brother will lead you to do a big deal, and you will all benefit in the future!"
