Chapter 390: Non-Stop and Giving Dr. Chen a Fright!

Li Xiaofan looked back and saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

"Hi, Manager Zheng, hello!"

It turned out that the middle-aged man who greeted Li Xiaofan was Zheng Zhihuan, the project manager of Jurong International, a subsidiary of Singapore's Jurong Group JTC. He was a friend who met Li Xiaofan on the plane when he returned to China for the first time last year.

Jurong International is a subsidiary of Singapore's Jurong Group JTC, focusing on consulting services.

When China and Singapore cooperated in the Suzhou Industrial Park, the "new" side of the operator, the China-Singapore Group, represented Singapore's Jurong Group JTC, and Suzhou Industrial Park learned a lot of experience from it.

The year before last, Jurong International established a mainland branch in Suzhou Industrial Park. Their company mainly provides one-stop professional consulting services to investors in China, including overall planning of towns and parks, project management, design and construction, including turnkey projects, etc. …

"Xiao Li, are you also taking this flight back to Singapore?" Zheng Zhihuan asked.

"Yes, Manager Zheng. I just have some questions about park development that I want to ask you about..."

At that time, Singapore's Jurong Industrial Zone was one of the earliest development zones in Asia, established thirty-five years ago in 1961.

Singapore Jurong Group has rich experience in park development and management.

Li Xiaofan asked Zheng Zhihuan for a lot of advice on the plane, which laid a good foundation for the next planned high-tech industrial park.

…

On Monday afternoon, Li Xiaofan took Zhou Xiaoqing, Wang Danrong and others to visit the mysterious Temasek Holdings.

After arriving at Temasek Holdings, Li Xiaofan discovered that the current structure of this giant organization was very simple. There were only three departments under Temasek Holdings: the Strategic Development Department, the Capital Resources Management Department, and the Corporate Affairs Management Department.

Among them, the main responsibility of contacting their strategic development department is to find suitable projects around the world and establish corresponding networks

An additional Capital Resources Management Department is responsible for managing specific investment matters. In addition to undertaking the internal affairs management functions of the enterprise, the Corporate Affairs Management Department also plays an important role in risk control, and conducts company-wide reviews and inspections of risk control-related work every week.

Fang Shulan, deputy director of the strategic development department of Temasek Holdings, and her assistants received Li Xiaofan and his party.

After some exchanges, it turned out that Temasek Holdings' investment attention has recently expanded to Asia and emerging industries, and they have also developed a strong interest in the Pacific Online Bookstore project that is about to be listed on Nasdaq.

After understanding their intentions, Li Xiaofan smiled and explained to Fang Shulan:

"Director Fang, I'm sorry. Last week we signed an investment agreement with GIC, another institution under the Ministry of Finance of Singapore. GIC Special Investment Company will invest in our Pacific Online Bookstore project by purchasing old shares..."

After hearing this, Fang Shulan smiled and said: "Oh, that's it. It's a pity that we were a step too late. It can be said that heroes have the same vision. It seems that your Pacific Online Bookstore is really a good project. Then we can only We’ll work together again next time! ”

"Well, Director Fang, let's keep in touch. I'm currently incubating several very good projects. We'll get in touch when they mature..."

…

Early the next morning, Li Xiaofan flew to San Francisco with Pan Zhanlong, Gu Qijun, Wang Danrong and others.

After arriving in San Francisco, Li Xiaofan and his party met Tang Xinyi who was waiting there.

They then started working without stopping.

Led by Li Xiaofan, they first visited the "SCEA Silicon Valley Chinese Engineers Association" in the evening. Founded in 1989 in the San Francisco Bay Area by engineers from mainland China, the Silicon Valley Chinese Engineers Association is currently the largest and most influential Chinese engineering organization in Silicon Valley and the United States, with more than 2,000 members.

What surprised Li Xiaofan was that Chen Chunlei, chairman of the Chinese Engineers Association in Silicon Valley, was actually from Mingzhou. Chen Chunlei completed his undergraduate and master's studies at Wuhan University and then studied for a Ph.D. in the United States. After graduating from his Ph.D., he currently works as a senior development manager at Oracle, the world's largest enterprise software company.

Chen Chunlei was also surprised that the Yahoo investor from Singapore who has appeared frequently in Wall Street financial media recently is actually his hometown in Mingzhou.

As the saying goes, when a fellow countryman meets a fellow countryman, tears well up in his eyes, and a hero cherishes a hero. A long drink at Tangyuan Chinese Restaurant made Chen Chunlei and Li Xiaofan feel that they had met each other too late.

Chen Chunlei said excitedly: "Director Li, your idea of ​​setting up an incubator in the Bay Area is great. The recent boom in high-tech and Internet industries on Wall Street has given many Chinese engineers like us in the United States the urge to start a business. In the future, Your offshore incubator can not only provide physical space for future entrepreneurs, but also provide angel investment and other resources. I feel that it will definitely attract many excellent projects and talents!”

He continued: "I will first release the information about your establishment of incubator and search projects in my small circle. In mid-June, our SCEA Silicon Valley Chinese Engineers Association will have a large internal exchange event. Director Li, you can come then This event is a release to introduce your incubator plan.”

"President Chen, that's great, thank you. We will definitely send people to participate in the event when the time comes!"

Next, Li Xiaofan briefly introduced Academician Ni’s Lianhai Microelectronics Design Center’s “Chinese Core” plan, which made Chen Chunlei’s blood boil:

"Since the implementation of the reform and development policy, the economy has developed rapidly. We overseas Chinese are all looking for opportunities to serve the motherland. Mr. Li, in the future, if you need anything, just let me know!"

Li Xiaofan raised his glass and said, "Chairman Chen, there is a long way to go. We will definitely trouble you in the future. Thank you!"

...

The next morning, when Li Xiaofan went to attend the Yahoo board meeting, Gu Qijun, a graduate of Tsinghua University, took his colleagues to visit a Silicon Valley Tsinghua Network alumni organization called Silicon Valley Tsinghua Network. This organization was later renamed Silicon Valley Tsinghua Alumni Association. At that time, nearly a thousand Tsinghua alumni had joined this organization.

In fact, many Tsinghua alumni in this Silicon Valley Tsinghua Network are also members of SCEA Silicon Valley Chinese Engineers Association.

But Tsinghua people are more united. They recognize their own alumni, and the feelings of alumni are different.

Everyone had a meal together, and the feelings immediately warmed up when they shouted "senior brother, junior brother, senior sister, junior sister"!

…

After the Yahoo board meeting, in the afternoon, Li Xiaofan took a group of people to visit Dr. Chen Datong of OmniVision.

Yahoo's new headquarters, like OmniVision, is located in Sunnyvale, a small town under Santa Clara County in the Bay Area.

Sunnyvale is one of the core areas of Silicon Valley, and the headquarters of the famous AMD semiconductor company is also in this town.

"Dr. Chen, do you still have the energy to create a new project to develop high-performance analog, mixed signal and digital signal processing DSP products?"

After the greetings, Li Xiaofan's abrupt question startled Dr. Chen Datong, who was unprepared.
