Return to Singapore 1995

"Later, I simply changed careers and worked for the owner of a local coal mining company to gain experience. Later, we held shares in a small coal mining terminal in a small port city in northern Borneo. Before my father passed away, we wanted to own a local coal mine in Borneo. Own coal mine, mine your own coal mine To make money, local laws in Indonesia stipulate that only locals can have mining rights. So, ten years ago, under my father’s persuasion, I gave up my Singaporean citizenship and became an Indonesian citizen. A few years later, we finally settled in Tongari. The Mandan has a coal mine of our own..."

After listening to Tang Dehua's brief introduction, Li Xiaofan was in awe. Indonesia is rich in coal, oil and gas resources, and coal mines are mainly concentrated in Kalimantan. It turns out that Mr. Tang is a coal mining boss who mines in Borneo. No wonder he is so rich!

"Wow, Brother An, it turns out we are neighbors, and my hometown is also in Borneo!" A Bin sighed.

The Borneo mentioned in ancient Chinese history refers to the island of Kalimantan. Borneo in English: Borneo, Indonesian name: Kalimantan, is the third largest island in the world, covering an area of ​​more than 740,000 square kilometers.

Borneo is the third largest island in the world and the only island in the world that belongs to three countries. The three countries are Sarawak and Sabah in East Malaysia, Brunei, and Kalimantan in Indonesia. To the north of the island of Borneo are the Malaysian states of Sarawak and Sabah, and between the two states is the Kingdom of Brunei. To the south is Kalimantan, Indonesia, with five provinces.

The state of Sarawak belonging to the Abing family belongs to East Malaysia in the northern part of Borneo, close to Singapore.

After briefly telling the story, Mr. Tang took a puff of his cigar and said mockingly to Liu Mengchen: "Girl, if you ask me what I did before, I really can't explain. I have done too much work before! Now, all I can say is I am a hard-working coal digger..."

"Uncle Tang, you are so humble. It turns out that you are the coal boss in Indonesia, you cow!" Liu Mengchen gave a thumbs up.

After chatting for a while, Guo Hanyue and Liu Mengchen got up to find WC, and Abin volunteered to take the two girls to the toilet.

After the three people left, Mr. Tang asked: "Afan, how is your return to China this time? Is your family okay?"

"Very good. After the reform and opening up in mainland China, the economy has developed rapidly. If you have the opportunity, you can go there and see what investment opportunities there are!"

"Well, next time I have the chance to go back and find my roots..."

While talking, Li Xiaofan remembered something and took out a string of bracelets from his pocket and handed it to Tang Dehua: "Uncle Tang, I didn't bring anything with me when I returned home this time. This string of agarwood bracelets is for you. It is said that agarwood is The best natural antibacterial medicinal materials can promote and improve the function of human internal organs and circulation. It can eliminate all kinds of poisonous qi and regulate the circulation of true qi in the body. It is said that when worn on the body, it can ward off evil spirits, clear away filth and calm the mind. Ancient books such as "Compendium of Materia Medica" record that smelling agarwood can unblock the five internal organs and promote the circulation of blood. Calming the mind and refreshing the mind, suitable for heart disease, high blood pressure, and irregular qi and blood..."

Tang Dehua took the small transparent plastic sealed bag containing the bracelets handed over by Li Xiaofan, put it close to his nose, and smelled a very penetrating fragrance from the outside. This ordinary sealed bag could not block its domineering fragrance.

After opening, this bracelet has a mint-like coolness, accompanied by a faint sweetness and the fragrance of flowers. Smell it carefully again, and you will feel a sense of smoothness, from the nasal cavity to the base of the tongue and then to the upper part of the throat. Give him a feeling of clearing his nose and refreshing his mind, which is quiet and refreshing! There is a floral scent, soft and sweet, mixed with a hint of coolness, accompanied by a quiet frankincense scent, with distinct layers...

Tang Dehua said in shock: "Afan, this bracelet of yours is not an ordinary agarwood, it is clearly the top-notch Bai Qinan!"

Playing with this Qinan bracelet in his hand, he felt like he couldn't put it down.

Li Xiaofan asked: "Uncle Tang, it turns out that you have also done research on agarwood and Qinan?"

"Research is beyond the pale. Kalimantan also produces agarwood, and I have collected some before. But there is definitely no such top-quality Bai Qinan! Where did you get this treasure?"

"This time I went to Hainan when I returned to China, and I got it by chance! Then I remembered that you had a minor stroke last time, and wearing this Qinan bracelet would be good for you, so I brought it to you!"

"This thing is so precious! There is a saying that if you have cultivated the three causes and effects in three lives, you will have to smell the fragrance of Qinnan in this life! Agarwood is the most wonderful fragrance in the world, Qinan is even said to be the best among agarwood, and this Bai Qinan is The king of Qinnan is worth a thousand dollars. I can’t afford such an expensive gift from you!”

"Uncle Tang, I got this bracelet by chance. It was a coincidence and I spent almost no money. It can be regarded as a kind of fate! Just accept it. You have already treated us to two big meals. Brother Ming also invited us to have a drink, you are so polite! If you don’t accept this bracelet, we will be embarrassed to come for dinner next time!”

Tang Dehu thought for a moment and said: "Well, Afan, I will accept this bracelet first and keep it for you! It is too precious. When you want to take it back, please tell me! If you don't want to take it back, , then you give me a price and I’ll buy it!”

Li Xiaofan laughed and said: "Uncle Tang, then you can keep it for me!"

"Abba, is this stuff really that magical?" Brother Ming and his wife were puzzled.

"Here, take it over and smell it!"

Tang Jiaming took the agarwood bracelet, and Irene also came over to smell it, exclaiming: "Wow, it's really fragrant, this fragrance is very unique and very nice! It feels better than all the perfumes on Orchard Road!"

"Yeah, it really smells good, baby! Afan, you are so thoughtful, I thank you on behalf of my father!" Tang Jiaming thanked Li Xiaofan.

"Hey, Brother Ming, don't be polite! I really got it by accident. Just like what Tang Bo said just now, getting it may be a kind of fate! And having the chance to meet all of you is also a special fate in my life!"

While the few people were chatting, Abin brought Guo Hanyue and Liu Mengchen back from the toilet.

Huizhen whispered a few words in Tang Dehua's ear.

Tang Dehua saw that everyone was eating happily in front of him, and felt very satisfied. He stood up happily and said goodbye to everyone: "Afan, Abin, and the two girls, I have to go home to take medicine and rest first, you can play for a while! Ming, you have to take good care of everyone!"

Tang Jiaming took a puff of cigar and said: "Dad, don't worry! Irene, you and Huizhen will take Dad home together!"

"Then you must remember to go home early!" Irene said before leaving.

"I know, you are so nagging!"
