Chapter 287 The First 3+ Big Business Intuition with Yueyue
"Yueyue, wake up!" Li Xiaofan patted her shoulder gently.
Guo Hanyue, who was sleepy, opened her eyes and said angrily: "Why are you back so late again?"
Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "I went to socialize with friends tonight and invited them to drink. I wanted to ask my friends to help expand the market in Johor Bahru, Malaysia next door..."
Guo Hanyue said distressedly: "You are so hard every day, working overtime and drinking socially, you must take care of your body!"
"Well, I know! You go upstairs to sleep first, I will take a shower."
Guo Hanyue said softly: "Can I sleep with you tonight?"
"Well, you go upstairs first, I will come after taking a shower."
"Okay, then I will wait for you."
...
After Guo Hanyue went upstairs, Li Xiaofan, who was distracted, took a shower in a few seconds and came to the second floor excitedly.
The door of Guo Hanyue's room was ajar, and only a desk lamp was turned on inside.
After entering her boudoir, under the dim light, Guo Hanyue, wearing a translucent nightgown, was waiting for Xiaofan on the big bed, looking particularly charming and sexy.
The first lesson for the two of them was of course to review last night's passionate kiss...
After the passionate kiss, Guo Hanyue said softly with some apology: "Afan, I'm sorry, my period came suddenly this afternoon..."
Oh, my plan is really not as fast as the change! This period came at a very timely time.
Li Xiaofan, who came excitedly and fully prepared, had some complaints in his heart, but he still comforted her: "It's okay, Yueyue, there is a long time to come, so let's go to bed early."
Guo Hanyue, who was hiding in Li Xiaofan's arms, hugged Li Xiaofan's neck and said softly: "Well, Afan, I like to hold you to sleep, I feel very safe..."
"Then let's hold each other to sleep, then I'll turn off the lights first."
"Well, I want to kiss again, okay..."
...
So, there was no war tonight, and there was only gentle warmth in Yueyue's boudoir...
At noon the next day, Li Xiaofan brought Desha to the Changti Seafood Restaurant on the East Coast as agreed, and met the long-lost Malaysian Dato Hui.
When Brother Hui saw Li Xiaofan, he said loudly and carelessly: "Afan, long time no see, you are almost a celebrity in Singapore now!"
Li Xiaofan bowed and said: "Haha, Brother Hui, please don't tease me, I just started my own business, I can't compare with senior bosses like you and Brother Ming, I'm ashamed!"
"Brother Afan, don't be too modest, we can see your newspapers and TV in Johor Bahru, you can see it in Johor Bahru, I have read your name in the newspaper several times!"
The relationship between Singapore and Johor Bahru where Brother Hui lives is a bit like Hong Kong and Shenzhen in the past.
Singapore and Johor Bahru are separated by only a Johor-Singapore Causeway, which is only 1,056 meters long and crosses the Johor Strait, connecting Johor Bahru, Malaysia, and Woodlands Town, Singapore.
The Johor-Singapore Causeway is the only road and rail channel connecting the two countries. It also has a water pipe causeway that supplies water from Johor, Malaysia to Singapore, connecting the Sultan Iskandar Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Hall in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
The two cities are very close and have a deep relationship. Singapore used to be a small fishing village under Johor State, so the exchanges between the two places are very close and frequent. Because the prices in Johor Bahru are cheap, many Singaporeans who like to be cheap drive to Johor Bahru to eat, shop and refuel on weekends, so the Causeway is often very congested on weekends.
The pirated discs seen on the streets of Singapore are basically smuggled from the Causeway. Sometimes Li Xiaofan can also buy the traditional Chinese version of "Nanyang Siang Pau" published in Malaysia on the street.
In May 1976, Singapore promulgated the revised version of the "General List of Simplified Chinese Characters", which is completely consistent with China's "General List of Simplified Chinese Characters".
Unlike Singapore, which is "speculative" and "flexible" and can change its direction according to the wind, the Chinese in Malaysia still retains the more traditional Chinese culture, and has always used traditional Chinese characters and old traditional habits. Seeing the words used in their Chinese newspapers seems to have returned to the Republic of China era.
Moreover, Li Xiaofan felt that the Malaysian Chinese he met in Singapore also had very traditional names, especially the names of Malaysian girls, which retained a lot of old-fashioned words such as "香", "花", "广", " "Mei", etc., which were full of ancient and rustic flavor...
After a few pleasantries, everyone sat down and drank a few sips of tea, and Brother Hui took the initiative to ask: "Afan, I heard from A Ming that you have something to ask me?"
"Yes, Brother Hui, I am currently building an online bookstore platform in Singapore, which is scheduled to be launched for trial operation next week. A friend of the Singapore Post Company who cooperated with us suggested that we could consider developing the market in Johor Bahru next to Singapore. I don't have any acquaintances in Johor Bahru, so I thought of you."
"Online bookstore, what do you mean? Read books online?" Brother Hui asked in confusion.
"No! Brother Hui, the online bookstore I run is equivalent to moving the offline physical bookstore to the Internet. Customers can use the search tool on our online bookstore website to easily find their favorite books in the massive library of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of books, and then pay online with a credit card. Our online bookstore platform will then deliver the books to your door through postal delivery and other methods. The advantage of buying books in an online bookstore for the majority of readers is that it is easy to find books without leaving home. We can deliver to your door on the same day in Singapore, and because the cost of offline stores is reduced, the books we sell are also discounted, passing on the benefits to readers..."
"Oh, Affan, I probably understand. This online bookstore project sounds very good!"
Unlike the first time he met Li Xiaofan, when Brother Hui heard from Tang Jiaming that Li Xiaofan was in the sunglasses business, he had no interest in it. This time Brother Hui showed a strong interest in this online bookstore project.
Brother Hui's business acumen and market acumen are very sensitive. He grew up in Malaysia in a wild way and is much better than Tang Jiaming, the son of the second generation of rich people.
After listening to Li Xiaofan’s introduction, Brother Hui intuitively felt that the online bookstore was a good business! Because this platform has eliminated the most expensive offline stores and clerks.
"Yes, Brother Hui, if you are interested, we can work together to expand the Malaysian market. The first stage of our strategy is to sell books online first and create traffic to attract popularity. After we have traffic and popularity, we can then Sales of computer games, audio and video and other high value-added multimedia and electronic products on online platforms..."
After briefly listening to Li Xiaofan’s introduction, Brother Hui said in surprise: “Wow, this is a big business!”
Li Xiaofan gave a thumbs up: "Brother Hui, yes, your vision is really vicious! If this online platform does well, as you said, it will really be a big business in the future!"
Brother Hui said cheerfully: "Afan, just tell me, what do you need me to do for you?"
