Chapter 196 Trump Card

IDI Technology Company of the United States has set up a small Asia-Pacific representative office in Singapore. The representative office is not large. The person in charge is Qiu Qidong, a local Singaporean who once studied in the United States. He is very young and is less than 30 years old.

Qiu Qidong warmly made a cup of American coffee for Li Xiaofan: "Mr. Li, welcome! I have heard from TAIYO Electric that your company will be responsible for the after-sales service of TAIYO Electric test equipment in Singapore starting on May 1st. Then our two companies will have more close cooperation in the future!"

"Manager Qiu, you are welcome. Our cooperation must be mutually beneficial and win-win..."

After the previous greetings, Li Xiaofan went straight to the point: "Manager Qiu, today I came here to discuss the business conditions of our Yifan company helping you IDI to sell probes..."

"Oh, we have a standard product agency text for this. Come, please take a look at it, Mr. Li!"

Qiu Qidong took out a price list for the agency sales of IDI probes and handed it to Li Xiaofan.

Li Xiaofan took a look and smiled: "Mr. Qiu, if your IDI company gives me this condition, we may choose to cooperate more with the German INGUN company..."

In fact, the product quality of both the American IDI and the German INGUN companies is very good, and most of the products overlap. They are different in shape just to avoid patents.

In his previous life, the company that Li Xiaofan served was the largest agent of the American IDI and German INGUN companies in the Asia-Pacific region. He knew their price bottom line and sales strategy very well.

Qiu Qidong was very polite to Li Xiaofan on the surface, but he didn't think much of Li Xiaofan in his heart. Because he heard that Li Xiaofan was a low-level operator from the mainland in Ximu Electronics Factory before, and later he didn't know how his luck turned, and he ran out to start a business and opened a company, and even got the approval of the Singapore Immigration Department and got an EP permit.

As a "high-quality professional student" who returned from the United States, Qiu Qidong didn't think much of "foreign workers" from the mainland like Li Xiaofan.

Qiu Qidong smiled after hearing this: "Mr. Li, we may have fought a price war with Germany's INGUN many years ago, but both sides suffered losses later, so we formed a tacit understanding later. At present, as far as I know, the conditions and prices we offer to agents are similar..." Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "Manager Qiu, but as far as I know, there is a company called QA Technology in Hampton, New Hampshire, USA. The quality and technical level of probes seem to be not much worse than yours. If you insist on this condition, we may recommend customers to use more cost-effective American QA or German INGUN probe products in the future..." Qiu Qidong was surprised to hear about QA Technology in Hampton, New Hampshire. QA Technology is an emerging probe company in the United States, and its quality is also quite good. In theory, it can completely replace their IDI products. According to his understanding, QA Technology is currently focusing on the domestic market in the United States. They have not yet entered the Asian market. How did Li Xiaofan know the existence of this QA Technology company? "Mr. Li, has QA Technology come to you?" Qiu Qidong said in surprise. Li Xiaofan smiled mysteriously: "This is kept secret for the time being..."

"So, Mr. Li, considering our long-term cooperation, we will give you a probe agency price that is 20% lower or higher than the current one. How about that? Your company must keep such a good condition confidential for us..."

Qiu Qidong asked his assistant to print a new IDI probe agency price list and give it to Li Xiaofan.

"Mr. Qiu, I hope it is 25% lower!" Li Xiaofan said directly.

Hearing this, Qiu Qidong was surprised again. How come Li Xiaofan knew his bottom card so clearly?

……

After leaving the IDI Technology Office in the United States, Li Xiaofan received a call from Tang Xinyi.

"Hello, honey, have you finished your work?"

"Yes, I just finished a talk."

"I'm hungry, honey, can you pack some food for me?"

"Aren't you going home for dinner?"

"Dad is not at home because he went to East Kalimantan. Mommy and I have asked for leave tonight, so don't worry..."

"OK, what do you want to eat? I'll pack it for you."

Tang Xinyi said coquettishly on the phone: "I want to eat you..."

"Haha, didn't you eat enough before?"

"Yes, not enough, I still want to eat..."

"Haha, honey, don't seduce me like this. After you said that, I don't have the heart to pack. I want to rush over and have a big fight with you right away!"

"Hate it, I'm really hungry! I want to eat Fujian fried shrimp noodles and barley water..."

"Okay, then I know, I'll pack it and come right away, dear!"

In the evening, the two lingered in the holiday home on the east coast until after ten o'clock, and then reluctantly separated and went home.

On Friday afternoon, Mr. Tang and Tang Jiaming returned to Singapore from East Kalimantan. This time, Mr. Tang followed the rotation rule and stayed in Ye Niya's villa near the Botanical Garden.

On Saturday afternoon, Mr. Tang invited Fujiwara Anzi and Tang Jiaming's siblings, as well as Li Xiaofan and Huizhen to play ball and have dinner at the Botanical Garden Villa.

When everyone was putting on the green in the backyard, Mr. Tang praised Li Xiaofan's progress: "Afan, you have improved very quickly. Now your putting posture is much more standard!"

Kyoko Fujiwara doesn't like playing golf, so she and Tang Xinyi chose to sit on the wicker chairs nearby to encourage everyone.

Yenia has been fond of sports since she was a child and has an outgoing personality. In addition, she has the inherent advantage of having a putting green in the villa. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, so her golf putting skills are not inferior to those of Mr. Tang.

Wearing a pink golf skirt, Ye Niya stretches her body when she swings, revealing a pair of long, toned and round legs. A person in her forties looks like a young woman in her thirties. Pingting is graceful, graceful and very... Sexy.

She and Mr. Tang had a PK putter competition, and Ye Niya won completely.

The crowd responded with warm applause and encouragement.

Li Xiaofan looked up and found that although Fujiwara Kyoko was also clapping her hands, he seemed to be able to feel her strong jealousy...

Later, when Ye Niya helped Li Xiaofan correct his incorrect swing, the two had physical contact from time to time. At this time, there was a burst of jealousy from Tang Xinyi...

A jealous mother and daughter!

The second event after playing ball was swimming as usual at Tang Xinyi's request.

This time it’s Fujiwara Kyoko’s strength.

Fujiwara Kyoko, who is nearly fifty years old, takes very good care of herself. She looks about forty years old, with snow-white and delicate skin. As a result of years of exercise and careful diet, I have maintained a very slim figure.

After putting on a black one-piece swimsuit, the charm is still there, and there is a mature "Ana Rika" flavor.

Her swimming style was very standard. After entering the water, she kept pace with Mr. Tang and won bursts of applause from the people around her.

Finally, she was able to win the battle in the swimming pool, and she felt much better.

After swimming, when everyone was having dinner together, Fujiwara Kyoko, who was in a good mood, smiled and reported to Mr. Tang: "Darling, do you know, I arranged for Xinyi to meet and have a meal with the son of a large consortium in Tokyo yesterday. Meal!”

After hearing this, Mr. Tang asked with concern: "Oh, how is it? Is this young man from Tokyo good? Has our Xinyi made eye contact with him?"

"Of course this young man from Tokyo is very good. I feel that the two of them, talented and beautiful, are a match made in heaven! Moreover, I feel that our Xinyi also likes this young man very much..."
