Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 279 Going to the Hong Kong Government Office to register the launch site

Hu Jiangshan was seen holding a document and looking at it carefully. He said a few words to Meng Junwei, then picked up the pen at hand and signed on it.

When the four members of Space X saw this scene, they couldn't sit still anymore.

James craned his neck. "What is that guy signing? A loan agreement?"

Amanda said, "Don't talk nonsense. He is from the China Space Agency, not a bank manager."

Eugene said to Xu Qian, "Kelly, can you see what they are signing?"

Xu Qian hesitated for a moment: "Okay, I'll try."

Having said that, Xu Qian stood up and walked over there, feeling very nervous. These people were such bastards, they pushed all the trouble onto her!

But there is no way, since Xu Qian is of Chinese descent, she naturally has to take on the main responsibility when she comes to China.

Xu Qian approached, and Hu Jiangshan and Meng Junwei also noticed her.

Meng Junwei asked: "Ms. Xu, what can I do for you?"

"Ah, Mr. Meng, I have something I want to consult you about."

Meng Junwei said, "Oh, wait until we are done. It will only take about ten minutes."

Xu Qian nodded in agreement, but kept glancing at the documents on the table out of the corner of her eye.

But Xu Qian was too embarrassed to look at it any longer and just scanned some words.

Xu Qian said a few polite words to Meng Junwei and then walked back.

James couldn't help but ask, "Xu, how is it? Did you see what the hell it is?"

Xu Qian hesitated for a moment before answering, "Okay, it seems to be a cooperation agreement."

"what?"

Not only James had his eyes widened, the other two were not much better.

Amanda asked, "Are you sure?"

"It should be. The document I saw was a cooperation agreement, and it had the title of 'China Space Administration' on it."

When the three of them heard this, they looked at each other.

Eugene could no longer sit still.

Eugene is an executive of SpaceX, a popular figure around Malak, and a capable and trusted right-hand man of Malak.

Eugene is leading the team this time, and Malak has high hopes for him.

If Eugene messed this up, it would undermine his position in Malak's heart.

Malak is quite ruthless and will fire any executive who proves to be of no use to him.

Eugene doesn't want to be kicked out by Malak.

Amanda quickly said, "Don't worry too much, maybe the China Space Agency will approve two cooperation places, and we will have a chance too."

James also said: "Yes, yes, we are SpaceX. There is no reason for the Chinese Space Agency to leave us aside! Unless they don't want to develop aerospace technology anymore!"

As the four of them talked, they also paid attention to Hu Jiangshan's movements.

After a moment, Hu Jiangshan stood up, shook hands with Meng Junwei with a smile on his face, and left with a stack of documents in his hand.

Meng Junwei was packing up some documents and seemed to be planning to leave as well.

Eugene gestured to Xu Qian, and the two of them came to Meng Junwei.

Eugene took the initiative to greet Meng Junwei in his not very fluent Chinese, but fortunately Meng Junwei understood him.

Meng Junwei responded in British: "Mr. Eugene, you can communicate with me in British."

Eugene asked: "Mr. Meng, may I ask if Mr. Hu has any cooperation relationship with the China Space Agency?"

Meng Junwei nodded: “Yes, we just signed a cooperation agreement.”

There was no need for Meng Junwei to hide it. After all, such things could not be concealed. There would always be people who would find ways to find out about these things.

The key point is that this is not confidential information. The National Space Administration also intends to release such information to attract more private companies to join the competition.

This is what is called the catfish effect.

Eugene asked quickly, "Then can we get our SpaceX rocket launch site plan approved?"

Meng Junwei smiled and replied: "I'm not sure about this. The leadership needs to discuss it, but I believe there will be news soon."

"Ah, then about when?"

"I'm not sure, but it should be soon."

Xu Qian asked: "By the way, Engineer Meng, why did the China Space Agency approve Mr. Hu's construction plan so quickly? Is there anything special about him?"

Xu Qian finally asked this key question.

Meng Junwei thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know the specifics, but I've seen Mr. Hu's proposal, it's very good, and the chief engineer praised it highly, so I gave it priority approval."

"…Ah? Perfect?"

Xu Qian and Eugene looked at each other and were about to ask something else, but Meng Junwei had already packed up his things, waved to the two people from Space X, and left.

The four of them sat together again, in silence, and the atmosphere was very strange.

Xu Qian frowned and said, "That Hu, the plan submitted by Mr. Hu is perfect... How is this possible?"

James slammed the table and said, "That's right! Could it be that the plan of that Mr. Hu is better than that of our Spice X? There must be something shady here!"

Eugene waved his hand: "Anyway, we haven't lost hope yet, we just have to wait."

Meng Junwei did not make a final statement just now. The approval of Hu Jiangshan’s rocket launch site construction plan does not mean that SpaceX was not selected.

Of course, Meng Junwei is just an engineer in the China National Space Administration, and what he said may not be correct, but at least the China National Space Administration has never said that it will only issue a launch site construction license to one company.

There is still hope.

Now everyone can only comfort themselves in this way.

Just then, music started playing, a song by Justin Bieber.

It was Eugene's cell phone ringing.

Eugene's face changed when he saw the caller ID.

It turned out to be the boss calling.

Eugene's boss is naturally Aaron Malak, the Blue Star technology fanatic and the real-life Iron Man.

Eugene quickly answered the phone.

"Hey, Boss, yes, we are in the Imperial Capital of China and have already talked to the Chinese Space Agency."

"Now...now we haven't received their reply, but their reaction is very good, so it should be very interesting."

"Yes, Boss, everything is going smoothly, except... there is a company in Hong Kong that got the license first."

"Yes, it was approved by the China Space Administration. I don't know the specific reason, but it may be a special policy of China."

Eugene explained for a long time, and Malak finally hung up the phone.

Eugene quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and drank some coffee to moisten his throat.

Eugene didn't dare to explain the whole truth to Malak just now. He could only say that the China Space Agency had special policies that would take care of companies from the mainland or Hong Kong Island, so it gave priority to issuing licenses for rocket launch sites.

Eugene was not sure what the real situation was, but he did believe that this was the unspoken rule of China. What other reason could there be?
It's impossible that the plan brought by that young man from Hong Kong Island can really beat Space X, right?
At this time, Hu Jiangshan returned to the hotel room and sat at the table to look through the documents again. The construction permit for the rocket launch site has been obtained. Hu Jiangshan needs to take this permit to the Hong Kong government for filing and construction approval, and then the project can be officially launched.

The Hong Kong government should approve this project. There is no reason to hold it back.

After all, Hong Kong Island is now in a state of decline in finance and real estate and has reached its ceiling, with no way to develop further. The Hong Kong government is also trying to develop new industries, such as high technology.

Aerospace is at a higher level than general high-tech industries and is the pinnacle of human technology. When the Hong Kong government saw that they could build a rocket launch site on an outlying island, they thought it was such a good thing and quickly asked Hu Jiangshan to start construction.

Putting aside whether the rocket launch site can boost Hong Kong Island’s so-called aerospace industry, just being able to watch the rocket launch up close is something the Hong Kong government and Hong Kong Island citizens are eager to get.

There is also a license for rocket launch business, which can only be obtained after construction is completed and passed the acceptance of relevant departments.

So the really difficult part is still to come.

But Hu Jiangshan was not anxious. As long as the design of the rocket launch site was restored 100%, there was no reason not to approve it.

After all, when the time comes to conduct an on-site inspection of the launch site, the National Space Administration will have the real say.

Not to mention that the design can be restored 100%, even if it can only be restored 80%, it will definitely pass.

Because the rocket launch site design submitted by Hu Jiangshan in the past was much higher than the requirements of the National Space Administration.

Hu Jiangshan thought about it and felt that there was nothing good to stay in the capital, so he decided to pack his bags and return to Hong Kong Island that day.

Hu Jiangshan was a little worried about the safety of Tenglong Island, wondering if there had been any trouble in the past few days.

Hu Jiangshan was very worried that the wealthy people in Hong Kong would drive their yachts into Tenglong Bay.

It would be fine if they only stayed in Tenglong Bay, but Hu Jiangshan was mainly afraid that these guys would force their way onto Tenglong Island.

After a day of hard work, it was already evening when Hu Jiangshan returned to Hong Kong Island.

Hu Jiangshan first called Zhang Rui to ask about his work and whether there were any emergencies.

Zhang Rui replied that everything went smoothly and there were no problems.

Hu Jiangshan called Yu Sheng again, and it took a while before Yu Sheng answered.

The sashimi seems to be outside, and you can hear the strong sea breeze.

Yusheng is talking in a roar.

"Hello, boss."

"Yusheng, where are you? Outside?"

"Yes, boss, I just came out from the dock and am on my way back to my residence."

Hu Jiangshan was stunned: "Stay at the dock so late? Nothing happened?"

Yusheng replied, "Boss, you don't know, yesterday and today, many boats came, most of them were yachts, and there were also tourist boats, with dozens of people on them. It scared us, but fortunately, Awang and I found a way to drive them away."

Hu Jiangshan asked curiously: "What method do you think of?"

Yusheng laughed out loud: "Boss, you would never guess that it was Awang who came up with this idea. He borrowed a broken boat from somewhere else, and he and I drove it around Tenglong Bay and crashed into people. They thought we were crazy and scared them away."

Hu Jiangshan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "As expected of Awang, he can come up with such a bad idea."

“But it was really effective, and many ships left.”

"Thanks for your hard work, but you also have to be careful and don't overdo it."

"Don't worry, boss. We are all experienced in boat handling and know what to do. We just want to scare them. Nothing will really happen."

Hu Jiangshan gave Yu Sheng a few more instructions and then told him to go back and rest.

Hu Jiangshan hung up the phone and finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least nothing had gone wrong in the past two days.

If all goes well, this problem should be basically solved in a few days.

The next day, Hu Jiangshan got up early, washed up, and went out with the approval documents from the National Space Administration.

Hu Jiangshan found a restaurant on the street to have breakfast, and then drove to the Hong Kong Government Offices.

To be honest, although Hu Jiangshan grew up in Hong Kong Island and was a child of a prominent family, he had never been to a Hong Kong government office.

I have been to the police station several times.

There is no way. Hu Jiangshan used to have little interest in doing real work.

The Hong Kong Government Office is located in the city center, and parking is very inconvenient. The parking spaces in the yard are full, and the roadside parking spaces are also full.

Hu Jiangshan drove for nearly a kilometer before he found a roadside parking space. He had no choice but to park the car and walk over. It was really tiring.

Forget it, just consider it as exercise.

The full name of the Hong Kong Government Office is the Hong Kong Island Special Administrative Region Government Office. In fact, its area is quite large, equivalent to a park, so after entering the yard you have to walk for a while before you can reach the office lobby.

Hu Jiangshan finally reached the door, took a breath, and was about to go in when he heard someone calling him.

"Brother! Brother Jiangshan!"

Hu Jiangshan looked back and saw that it was his cousin Hu Rongguo.

Recently, Hu Jiangshan occasionally met Hu Rongguo a few times and was able to talk to him.

To be honest, the relationship between the two has improved a lot, and Hu Rongguo even looks at Hu Jiangshan with new eyes at times.

This is very easy. Hu Jiangshan had a very bad reputation in the past, and few of the Hu family members looked up to him.

Now Hu Jiangshan has suddenly emerged as a rising star, and the Hu family has also begun to pay attention to him, and they often discuss why Hu Jiangshan has changed so much.

Of course, they could never come to any conclusion.

No one knows the truth except Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Jiangshan didn't expect to meet Hu Rongguo here, so he walked up to him and exchanged a few words.

Hu Rongguo introduced the two people who came with him.

They were a man and a woman. The man's name was Niu Feng, a middle-aged man in his fifties.

The woman is very young. Her name is Liu Shiyao. She is probably in her early twenties. She is young, beautiful, with long legs and short hair. She is a cute beauty.

The two men are from the Shanghai Stock Exchange in mainland China.

Niu Feng is a wealthy businessman who came to Hong Kong Island to develop his business.

Hu Jiangshan originally thought that Liu Yaoyao was Niu Feng's girlfriend. Hu Rongguo was also afraid that his cousin would think so, so he quickly introduced that Liu Shiyao was Niu Feng's niece, who was just studying in Hong Kong Island and had nothing to do, so she came to be Niu Feng's assistant.

Hu Rongguo introduced Hu Jiangshan to Niu Feng.

Niu Feng was a little surprised. He looked at Hu Jiangshan for a few times and seemed to have heard of him.

Hu Rongguo asked: "Brother Jiangshan, what are you doing here?"

As he spoke, Hu Rongguo also looked at the bag that Hu Jiangshan was carrying, which contained the approval documents from the National Space Administration.

Hu Jiangshan replied: "Ah, I came here to file for construction."

Hu Rongguo was very surprised: "Construction filing? Are you going to work at the group?"

Hu Jiangshan shook his head: "No, I want to build something myself."

"Oh, building something on the island, right? Brother Jiangshan, would you mind telling me what you're going to build?"

"Rocket launch site."
