Return to Singapore 1995

Chapter 384: Magic City Night and Nightclub Enlightenment

Li Xiaofan thought for a while and said:

"I also want to go to Eindhoven to see the headquarters of Philips and ASML. Danrong, it's okay. Then we will adjust our trip to the United States next week. We will go to San Francisco two days in advance, and then arrange to go to Eindhoven, the Netherlands to attend the shareholders' meeting of ASML. Please inform Pan Zhanlong and Gu Qijun by the way, and let them go to the United States with me. The air tickets can be booked by the office first."

"Okay, got it, Mr. Li."

Eindhoven is the fourth largest industrial city in the Netherlands, a city full of innovation, and one of the four major high-tech clusters in Europe.

The famous Philips company was born in this city. In the late 1990s, Philips moved its headquarters to Amsterdam, but the city is still an important technology center for Philips, and it continues to retain many R&D centers and laboratories.

The technical foundation of the lithography machine giant ASML came from Philips' lithography equipment R&D department.

1L was jointly established by Philips and ASMI, a Dutch chip equipment agent. Since then, ASML has been focusing on the research and development and production of lithography equipment...

After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaofan suddenly remembered that he almost forgot something, and quickly took out the small note with the phone number of his aunt Li Weiyun from his wallet.

"Hello, hello, who are you looking for?"

After the home phone of Li Weiyun's house was dialed, a baby boy's childish voice came from the phone.

Li Xiaofan smiled secretly. If he guessed correctly, the little boy on the phone should be his little cousin.

"Hello, I am your brother Xiaofan, I am looking for your mother, Aunt Weiyun..." Li Xiaofan said with a smile.

Then the little boy on the other end of the phone called out: "Mommy, Mommy, someone named Brother Xiaofan is looking for you!"

A few seconds later, the familiar voice of my aunt Li Weiyun came from the phone:

"Hello, is that Xiaofan?"

"My aunt, this is Xiaofan!"

"Xiaofan, great, we are finally in touch again! Last time I asked a lot of people and finally got the phone number of your uncle's house. I heard from your aunt that you went to Singapore to work as a laborer in recent years?"

"Yes, I went to Singapore to work as a laborer the year before last. However, I am no longer working in the original factory. At present, I am running between Singapore and China, doing some small business by myself..."

"It's good, Xiaofan, it's not easy for you to make a living alone, take care of your health!"

"Well. Aunt, are you doing well now? I just received a call That little girl is your baby, right? "

"Yes, the naughty baby just now is called Doudou, your cousin, and he is almost three years old this year. I now run a small clothing store, and I am doing well. Xiaofan, next time you come to Mingzhou, you must come to my house for dinner. I haven't seen you for several years, I miss you so much!"

"Okay, aunt, don't worry, it's very convenient to contact you now with a phone, I will definitely come to see you!"

"By the way, Xiaofan, next month, Sunday, June 2nd is your grandfather's 80th birthday. If you are free, it's best to come and celebrate your grandfather's birthday. We will arrange the birthday banquet at Donggang Hotel that night..."

"Okay, I will definitely make time to attend, aunt, don't worry!"

...

After talking to aunt Li Weiyun on the phone, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

His stomach began to growl, and Li Xiaofan remembered that he and Lin Feiyan had eaten a piece of cake at Huating Hotel that night, and were so busy that they even forgot about dinner.

"Fei Yan, I'm sorry, I forgot about dinner. Find a place and I'll treat you to a good meal!"

"Mr. Li, it's okay, I'm not really hungry..." Yang Fei Yan said with a smile.

After these few days of contact, Li Xiao Fan was already full of glory in Yang Fei Yan's eyes.

"Fei Yan, after get off work, if it's not a work situation, don't call me Mr. Li, Mr. Li anymore, just call me by my name! Otherwise, it sounds awkward!"

"Okay then. Xiao Fan, how about I treat you to dinner in the evening?"

"Okay, where are you going to treat me to dinner?"

"There's a new German-style restaurant called Paulaner on Fenyang Road. I went there with my girlfriends last time. It's a 3-story old house with a very good environment and atmosphere. How about I treat you to a few glasses of authentic German beer and try authentic German pork knuckles?"

"Okay, I like this place too!" Li Xiao Fan blurted out.

In his previous life, when Li Xiaofan was working in Shanghai, he also liked to go to this Paulaner restaurant on Fenyang Road.

Unfortunately, in 2016 in his previous life, the Paulaner flagship store on Fenyang Road closed for various reasons. However, the Paulaner restaurant and bar brand has taken root and blossomed in Shanghai, and has opened many branches in other places.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, the colorful nightlife in Shanghai has just begun.

Li Xiaofan and Yang Feiyan came to this Paulaner on Fenyang Road, walked on the grass outside the old house, and heard the music and noise coming from inside from afar.

"Feiyang, do you know who lived in this small white building before, and why it was called Baigongguan?" Li Xiaofan pointed to the exquisite old house with gray and white walls and asked.

"I really don't know this! Please enlighten me?"

"This used to be the residence of Bai Chongxi, the former chief of staff of the Kuomintang and a famous general of the Guangxi clique, known as the Little Zhuge. Because the walls are gray and the owner's surname is Bai, it is also called Baigongguan..."

Yang Feiyan said curiously: "Wow, Xiaofan, you know this too, you are really knowledgeable!"

She didn't know that this was one of the check-in places that Li Xiaofan often visited in his previous life.

In the Magic City, many middle-aged people like Li Xiaofan in his previous life regarded this place as an important stop for their youthful memories.

Many people's enlightenment about bars and nightclubs was completed here...

From 1996 to 2016, this Paulaner restaurant on Fenyang Road has been open for 20 years, just enough time to accompany a generation.

Entering the familiar "Baigongguan", whether it is the thick wooden tables and chairs, the German-style bar, or the various patterned floor tiles and furniture, it is full of German style.

That familiar feeling that seems like a lifetime ago rushed towards Li Xiaofan!

The most attractive food in this restaurant is their freshly brewed Paulaner beer, German pork knuckle and various German-style sausages!

After 9:30 p.m., the dining time is over, and the resident band begins to perform on the small stage in the lobby on the first floor.

Tonight is Latin night. After the strong rhythm of salsa Latin dance music sounded, the entire Paulaner restaurant turned into a grand and lively bar.

The dance floor in the middle of the lobby on the first floor has become a happy ocean of Latin salsa dance.

Many fashionable men and women rushed into the dance floor and danced the most fashionable salsa dance to the music. Most of them were passionate and unrestrained foreigners.

"Xiao Fan, can you dance this salsa?" asked the slightly tipsy Yang Feiyan.
