Return to Singapore 1995

Li Xiaofan found a public phone nearby and dialed Tang Jiaming's mobile phone.

"Hello, who's there?" Tang Jiaming's phone call was accompanied by music in the background, and it was a bit noisy. He didn't know where he was having fun.

"Brother Ming, it's me, Li Xiaofan!"

"Oh, Ah Fan! Did you look at Zhongyi's HDB house so quickly?"

"Haha, Brother Ming, that's not the case. It's like this. After I returned to the mainland this time, I found that the glasses industry in our hometown is very developed and very cost-effective, so I brought some sunglasses samples back this time. Now, these sunglasses The sample was spotted by the owner of a local wholesale company and he wanted to discuss cooperation with me! ”

"Wow, that's great! Affan, it seems you have a good business sense!"

"Brother Ming, the boss of this wholesale company recently wanted to schedule an interview with me. I'd like to borrow your luxurious office to hold on to the scene, okay?"

"Of course, it's such a small thing! If you need it, I can lend you my MD office!"

Li Xiaofan smiled: "Brother Ming, that's not necessary. You can just lend me a conference room when the time comes!"

"Afan, when do you need it?"

"Can you do it tomorrow afternoon?"

"Okay, I'm going out to visit clients tomorrow morning, so everyone should be there in the afternoon!"

…

The next morning, Li Xiaofan went to Flextronics Singapore in Kallang Industrial Zone for after-sales service with Song Anni, the sales supervisor, and Ah Qing, the fat guy from the QA department.

Singapore's Flextronics, known as Flextronics International in English, was founded in 1969. It is a multinational company headquartered in the United States and listed on NASDAQ. It built a factory in Singapore in 1981 and was the world's largest electronic contract EMS manufacturing service provider. EMS means the umbrella term for all manufacturing services provided by contract manufacturers.

After returning to China in his previous life, Li Xiaofan worked for a period of time at Solectron's Suzhou factory in the Suzhou Industrial Park. Later, in October 2007, Flextronics merged with Solectron, and the world's two largest electronic EMS companies merged to form a giant group.

In this way, Li Xiaofan can be regarded as an old employee of Flextronics in his previous life. In 1995, Foxconn was still working on a small island and was still unknown in Asia.

Around 1995, Li Xiaofan discovered that there was a big change in the global electronics industry. That is, many well-known IT multinational companies had outsourced the intermediate SMT, PCBA and other manufacturing processes to professional EMS companies, and they themselves focused on R\u0026D, design and marketing. Both ends of the smile curve.

The procurement and engineering staff of Flextronics Singapore are very professional and easy to communicate with. Li Xiaofan and others solved all the circuit board problems before 11 am.

On the way back to Westwood Factory, when passing by Tampines, Song Anni invited everyone to have a simple set meal at the air-conditioned food court in Tampines Plaza.

After eating, Li Xiaofan also bought a long-sleeved shirt, trousers and a pair of leather shoes at the G2000 store in Tampines Plaza. Tampines Plaza is a small commercial complex in the community. Li Xiaofan took a quick tour and found that there was no better clothing brand for office workers there, so he had no other choice.

"Afan, are you planning to switch jobs and become a white-collar worker?" Song Anni and the fat boy Aqing teased.

Because in Singapore only white-collar workers wear long sleeves, trousers and leather shoes. There is no need to dress up like this in the factory. If a worker goes to work dressed like this, he will be laughed at by all the workers in the factory. Even the assistant engineer and the chubby Ah Qing wear T-shirts and jeans on weekdays.

"This is what I will wear when I go back to China next time. It's cold there..." Li Xiaofan said casually.

Because Li Xiaofan was going to attend the management training of NPB-IPT Productivity Institute in the afternoon, Song Anni drove Li Xiaofan to the NTUC Club Resort after coming out of Tampines Plaza.

During the coffee break of the first class in the afternoon, Li Xiaofan asked for leave from the lecturer, saying that he had a stomachache. The lecturer said that you should go to the clinic quickly. Your health is important!

Li Xiaofan successfully slipped out of the NTUC Club Resort. Before leaving, he asked Shufen at the next table to take more notes for his reference next time because he had to take an exam before graduation.

When Li Xiaofan returned to the townhouse with a few bags of clothes, Guo Hanyue had just gotten up and was sitting on the sofa watching TV blearily, feeling like she hadn't woken up yet.

Today she was on the night shift of the second shift, and Liu Mengchen was on the day shift.

"Xiaofan, what are you doing? Are you shopping with a big bag or a small bag? Don't you have to go to work today?" Guo Hanyue asked curiously.

"Participate in on-the-job training at NTUC Club Resort in the afternoon. By the way, Hanyue, do you have an iron and ironing stand there?"

"Yes, there is a set left by the landlord. What do you want to do?"

"Lend it to me!"

Looking at the long-sleeved shirt, trousers, leather shoes and other brand-new clothes that Li Xiaofan took out from the bag, Guo Hanyue asked curiously: "Li Xiaofan, are you going to be the groom or the best man?"

"Haha, I'm going out to discuss a business later..."

"Are you discussing business in Singapore?" Guo Hanyue became more and more curious.

"Well, oops, I'm running out of time. I'll explain it to you next time! Sister, can you help me?"

"Okay, wait while I get down and I'll get the iron and ironing stand!"

Ironing is the strength of girls. In ten minutes, Guo Hanyue ironed Li Xiaofan's shirt and trousers until they were straight.

"How is it? Try it on!" Guo Hanyue wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and said to Li Xiaofan.

Li Xiaofan looked at the time on his watch and was a little nervous. He didn't care and took off his jeans and T-shirt in the living room and tried them on.

"Hey, you, you, why, why are you so anxious!" Guo Hanyue said angrily.

She looked at Li Xiaofan, who was only wearing a pair of small underwear, and her face turned red.

"Hurry! Big sister, please bear with me!"

This slim white shirt fits well after being put on.

Although it is a very ordinary white shirt with a very simple cut, after ironing, it makes Li Xiaofan look fit and slender when worn on him.

The top few buttons of the shirt have not been buttoned yet, and the chest is open, revealing the strong chest muscles and slightly wheat-colored skin inside.

The light sunlight outside shines through the curtains, and this white body adds a touch of elegant and soft light to him.

He wore a pair of dark straight suit pants, which were ironed without wrinkles, showing off his toned lower body.

He looked energetic and handsome, with a bit of wildness and unruliness.

There was no mirror in the living room, so Li Xiaofan asked, "Hanyue, how about it? Is it okay to wear it like this?"

Guo Hanyue helped to straighten the collar of Li Xiaofan's shirt, looked him up and down, and said with approval, "Well, very handsome! Xiaofan, you have a great figure and great chest muscles. You look handsome and sexy in this simple outfit. Be careful not to be seduced by the vixen in Singapore!"
