Chapter 286: Can't Help but Wake up the Dreamer

;

"Shihui, tell me quickly, what good suggestions can actually double the business of our Pacific Online Bookstore?" Li Xiaofan urged.

Liu Shihui took a sip of mineral water and said, "Director Li, you should know how Singapore was founded, right?"

"Well, I know that in 1965, Singapore was almost forced to become independent after being kicked out of the Federation of Malaya by Malaysia. I have seen many introductions and TV documentaries. Prime Minister Lee announced in the TV broadcast that Singapore would become independent from The Federation of Malaya secedes and becomes independent!”

"Director Li, in fact, from a historical perspective, Singapore and Malaysia are like two neighbor brothers. After they separated, they always quarreled and quarreled, but they also separated and got together again. If your neighbors are not good, you can move away, but the country cannot. Go, so the relationship between the two countries is very delicate..."

"I know this, Shihui, hurry up and talk about the key points!" Li Xiaofan urged.

"Okay! Director Li, the person in charge of the delivery business of Singapore Post reminded me this morning, why don't we cooperate with Malaysia Post? We are both members of the Commonwealth, and Malaysia next door is also a big market. He He said that you can start cooperation from the nearest Johor Bahru. Moreover, Malaysia likes to learn from Singapore’s experience. After the privatization of Singapore Post three years ago, Malaysia Post Pos was reorganized into a commercial postal service department wholly owned by the Malaysian government. company……"

Yes, this sentence wakes up the dreamer! Li Xiaofan couldn't help but praise the case, why didn't he think of it?

Johor Bahru, next door to Singapore, is the second largest city in Malaysia, with a population of 1.8 million, one-third of which are Chinese. The most special thing about this city is that there are nearly 100,000 Chaoshan people in Johor Bahru, which is known as "Little Shantou".

I was just thinking about the Singapore market. Malaysia next door is also a big market. As a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, English is also a very popular and common working language in Malaysia. Books in English, Malay and Chinese should be There is a huge market, and you should really try to explore it!

"Shihui, this suggestion is indeed very good! But we don't have the connections and resources in Malaysia? And according to my experience, 'relationships' are very important there!"

“The person in charge of Singapore Post said he could introduce us to the person in charge of Malaysia Post, but he couldn’t help us with anything else. We have to develop it ourselves!”

Li Xiaofan took a sip of coffee and said: "We are all from Singapore, we are not familiar with Malaysia..."

Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, Li Xiaofan thought of someone: Brother Dato Hui!

Isn’t that the owner of Tejas Malaysia Sdn Bhd, Ming Ge’s coal business partner, from Johor Bahru?

Previously, Tang Jiaming invited him to the East Coast Changdi Seafood Restaurant and drank with Datuk Hui at the "Royal Capital Nightclub". Later, he was also invited to the Royal Lido Nightclub to drink flower wine several times.

"Shihui, thank you for providing a very good idea. It's really great. I will try to contact Johor Bahru. However, for now, everyone's top priority is to solidify our Singapore market first. Create a replicable business model and strive to launch our Pacific Online Bookstore as soon as possible! The Malaysian market is our next goal and deserves careful study by all of us!”

…

After the meeting, Li Xiaofan made a phone call to Tang Jiaming.

After Tang Jiaming answered the phone, he happily joked: "Afan, you are very popular recently! There are reports everywhere on TV and newspapers about you and your new project of Yahoo! When I go out to hang out, I'm proud to mention you..."

Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "Haha, Brother Ming, stop teasing me. I sincerely thank you and Uncle Tang for helping me start my business, so I am what I am today! Brother Ming, when you have time, I would like to invite you to the Lido Palace. Have a drink?”

"Oh, Affan, you can do it. Now that your business has grown, you've become rich! You actually invited me to have a drink at the Royal Lido. You can do it!"

"Brother Ming, you always invite me to drink, and I always feel a little embarrassed. How about tonight, give me some face and I treat you tonight? If your friends, Brother Xiang and others, are free, they can all come together Lele?”

"Okay, I don't have any plans for the evening..."

…

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Li Xiaofan was the first to arrive at the box of Lido Palace Nightclub, and Tian Yu sang a few songs with him first.

Li Xiaofan ordered "That's Why You Go Away" by the most popular rock band Mike. In his previous life, this was Li Xiaofan's favorite English song and it was one of the must-order songs when he went to KTV.

This song comes from Mike Learns to Rock's third album "Played On" which was released in 2011. A few days ago, the Mike's Rock Band just held 25 concert tours in 10 countries in Southeast Asia. They were treated like royalty everywhere. Among them, the single "That's Why You Go Away" topped the charts at an unprecedented speed. top of the list. The album has sold more than 1.2 million copies worldwide...

"Afan, this English song "That's Why You Go Away" by Mike Learns Rock was just released not long ago. You sang it very professionally. It's awesome!" Tianyu said in surprise.

Li Xiaofan smiled. He had been singing this song for almost twenty years in his previous life. Do you think a person who spends twenty years singing a song can sing it badly?

At around ten o'clock, Tang Jiaming, Brother Xiang and several other friends arrived, and everyone got lively.

In the middle, Li Xiaofan toasted Tang Jiaming with a glass of wine and asked, "Brother Ming, have you been in touch with Dato Hui recently?"

"Yes, Dato Hui will come to Singapore from Johor Bahru tomorrow morning to talk to me about the coal business. What's the matter, Afan, do you have something to talk to him about?"

"Well, I do have something to talk to him about. Next, I plan to open an online bookstore business in Singapore. A person in charge of the Singapore Post Company suggested that we consider the Johor Bahru market next door. But I don't have any acquaintances in Johor Bahru, so I want to talk to Brother Hui through you. Let's talk..."

"Afan, let's do this. Tomorrow at noon, you can go directly to the Long Beach Seafood Restaurant on the East Coast to have lunch together. After discussing business with Brother Hui tomorrow, we have an appointment to have dinner there. Come over then and have a good chat with Brother Hui in person!"

"Great, thank you Brother Ming!"

"Don't be polite, Afan, we are brothers, why should we be polite! You did a good job, and I feel very proud too!"

...

The party at the Lido Palace ended at midnight, because Tang Jiaming and his friends came too often on weekdays and were already aesthetically fatigued.

After Li Xiaofan paid the bill and took a taxi back to the townhouse villa, he couldn't help but buy a box of condoms at the 7-11 convenience store next door.

Back at the townhouse dormitory, the lights in the living room were still on, the TV was on, and Guo Hanyue, who was waiting for him to come home, fell asleep on the sofa.
