Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 301 Bill Gates came to see Li Changxi
Han Qingqing didn't say much, just asked Hu Jiangshan to go to the capital in the next few days to sign the agreement.

You should know that the operating rights of a space launch site are not permanent. The first contract is only for three years, and the first year is for trial operation. It will only be "regularized" if no major problems arise.

In addition, the National Space Administration, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and other national security departments will also conduct safety inspections at the launch site regularly or irregularly.

It sounds troublesome, but it is necessary.

A rocket launch site is different from other facilities. Both the equipment and safety procedures must be of the highest level and nothing can be sloppy.

After Han Qingqing finished speaking, she also expressed her congratulations to Hu Jiangshan.

"Boss Hu, you can make preparations in advance during this period. You need to prepare personnel and safety regulations. If there is anything you need or if you don't have experience in any area, our National Space Administration can also provide cooperation."

Hu Jiangshan thought about it and realized that there were indeed some things that required the help of the Space Administration, otherwise it would be really difficult to handle.

"By the way, I'm currently looking for a management team for the space launch site, but it's really hard to find talent in this area. I wonder if the space agency can help me solve this problem."

Han Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "This should be solvable, but we need to ask our superiors for instructions. When Boss Hu comes to the capital again, there should be a solution."

Hu Jiangshan was delighted: "That's great, I'll consult you when I get there."

Hu Jiangshan chatted with Han Qingqing for a few more words, then said goodbye and hung up the phone.

Hu Jiangshan sat on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief.

The matter of the space launch site has finally been settled, but there are still many things to do and prepare for. Some of these things give me a headache just thinking about them and are very troublesome.

When Hu Jiangshan stood up, he felt the pain in his back again. He had been working too hard these past two days and had overexerted himself. He must not work so hard next time.

Hu Jiangshan picked up his tablet and continued to check social media.

There is nothing new on a certain blog today. It's all the same old stuff over and over again, either praising, belittling, or just arguing.

Hu Jiangshan opened the hot news again to see if there was anything special in it.

After scrolling through a few screens, I found that the hot news was not much different from that on a certain blog, and it was basically the same stuff.

Just then, a topic caught Hu Jiangshan's attention.

[Shocking news: China's first private space launch site will be located in Hong Kong Island! Is this just to attract attention? Or is it for real? ]

When Hu Jiangshan saw this title, he was stunned. He didn't expect that this matter would be leaked on the mainland social media so quickly.

If it was in Hong Kong Island, it wouldn’t be surprising, after all, many people have been to Tenglong Bay.

And they knew that there was a facility similar to a launch site on Tamron Island.

Of course, they were not sure that was the real space launch site.

At present, there should be very few people who know about the space launch site on Tenglong Island. Who leaked this so-called information?

Hu Jiangshan clicked on this topic out of curiosity. The content was very simple, and even the title was equal to the content.

But there is also a picture below.

After looking at the picture, Hu Jiangshan was stunned. It was a distant view of Tenglong Island, which should have been taken near the entrance of Tenglong Bay.

In the center of the picture is the extinct volcano, and the launch pad next to it is of course also included in the picture.

However, because it is quite far away, it appears a little blurry.

If someone who knows the matter saw it, they would actually guess that it was a rocket launch pad, and would think that the possibility is not small.

Logically speaking, this topic shouldn't be very popular as it is a relatively unpopular field.

But strangely, the click-through rate is good, probably because the title is very eye-catching.

The idea of ​​building a private space launch site on Hong Kong Island seems very strange, unbelievable and incredible to many people.

After all, Hong Kong Island has nothing to do with the aerospace industry. Hong Kong Island mainly develops finance and real estate, and even the technology manufacturing industry is scarce.

There are quite a few comments on this topic, more than 200 in total, making it a relatively hot topic.

"A private spaceport? Is it used to launch rockets? You must be kidding!"

"I don't believe him. This is obviously fake news. How can a place like Hong Kong Island build a space launch site? Wouldn't it be better to build two more buildings?"

"That's right. Even if Hong Kong Island wants to build a space launch site, it doesn't have the ability to do so."

"It's very convenient for me to go to Hong Kong Island. If there is really a launch site in Hong Kong Island, I will definitely go to watch the rocket launch."

"To be honest, this joke is not funny at all."

"Don't spread this joke, it's totally untrue."

"What's with that photo below? It really does look like a rocket launcher, and it's on an island."

"This is not Hong Kong Island at all, it's an unknown island."

"It could also be an island near Hong Kong Island."

"It doesn't look like it's near Hong Kong Island. It should be somewhere quite far away."

It seems that most people do not believe that Hong Kong Island can build a private rocket launch site. Hu Jiangshan also expressed his understanding. Normal people would not believe it. Who would have thought that a monster appeared in Hong Kong Island, that is, Hu Jiangshan.

At this time, Hu Jiangshan saw another comment.

"People in the mainland may not know that this is indeed an outlying island near Hong Kong Island, called Tenglong Island. There is something that looks like a rocket launcher there, and many people have seen it."

It seems that this comment was posted by a netizen from Hong Kong Island.

However, even if content like this is posted, not many people will see it, and even if they do, they are unlikely to believe it.

Hu Jiangshan took a look at the author who posted this topic. He was not a big V, with just over a thousand fans. The author was not located in Hong Kong Island, but in Guangdong Province.

This is reasonable, as Guangdong Province is very close to Hong Kong Island.

Although it was just a simple topic of revelation, Hu Jiangshan still felt it was weird, as if there was a taste of conspiracy. However, after thinking about it, he felt that this conspiracy was of little significance.

Does the author want to attract more people to Tenglong Bay to see the launch site?

Forget it, Hu Jiangshan doesn’t want to think about it anymore. Let’s just build the space launch site first.

At the same time, in Hong Kong Island, Phoenix Hotel.

As mentioned earlier, the Phoenix Hotel was completed not long ago. It is a property of the Li family and its current direct manager is Li Changxi.

In a luxurious private room in the hotel, Li Changxi sat on a large sofa, holding a wine glass in one hand and resting his other hand on a girl's shoulder.

"Come on, Mr. Snart, let's drink to our reunion!"

Sitting opposite Li Changxi was a blond foreigner. He raised his glass and clinked it with Li Changxi's. Then they both drank it all in one gulp. It was very heroic. The foreigner's name was Michael Snart. He looked very gentlemanly and well-mannered. In fact, his identity was also very special.

Michael is Bill Gates' special commissioner.

The so-called special commissioner is not actually a formal position, but it symbolizes that Michael has a close relationship with Bill Gates and is Gates' confidant.

Bill Gates is the founder of Microsoft, a technology giant on the blue planet, and a well-known technology godfather. He was once the richest man on the entire blue planet, and he was at the top for a long time, lasting for several years.

Even now, Gus is still one of the top economic individuals on Blue Star. He doesn't need to work to make money. He can just lie down and receive a large amount of dividends every day.

It is not difficult to understand why Michael Snart came to Hong Kong Island and clinked glasses with Li Changxi. After all, Li Changxi is one of the more outstanding young generations in Hong Kong Island and is equivalent to the future agent of the Li family in Hong Kong Island.

This also shows that Gates may want to do something in Hong Kong Island and rely on local forces. It is natural for him to contact the younger generation of the Li family.

Li Changxi smiled and said, "Mr. Snart, I wonder why you came here this time? Do you want to invest in Hong Kong Island?"

Snart laughed and said, "Mr. Li, I would like to invest everywhere, but I don't have the financial resources. It was Mr. Gass who wanted to invest."

Li Changxi smiled slightly. It was obviously not beyond his expectation. Snart came here on behalf of Gass. He came here to do things for Gass, or to pave the way in advance.

"Mr. Snart, tell me, what does Mr. Gus want to do in Hong Kong Island? If I can help, I will do my best."

Snetter said: "Mr. Geiss wants to choose a suitable place on Hong Kong Island to build a space launch site."

Li Changxi was stunned: "Hang, space launch site?"

Snite nodded: "This may sound incredible, but Mr. Gass has been planning for a long time, and this time he is determined to make it happen."

Li Changxi was indeed very surprised. It was not because he thought it was strange that Bill Gates wanted to build a space launch site, but because he had heard this name more than once in recent times.

At the same time, Li Changxi thought of another person's name in his mind, that is Hu Jiangshan, the hateful Hu Jiangshan.

Bill Gates actually wants to do the same thing as Hu Jiangshan and build a launch site. What the hell is going on?

Li Changxi asked curiously: "Mr. Snart, I have a question. Why does Mr. Geis want to build a space launch site? As far as I know, the investment is not small."

Snart smiled and said, "It's pretty simple to explain. I wonder if Mr. Li knows that there are many private aerospace companies in China now."

"Ah? This is really..."

Li Changxi wanted to say he didn't know, but he felt embarrassed.

"Mr. Snart, I don't know much about the aerospace field, and I rarely pay attention to things in this area."

Snart was no longer surprised and nodded, saying, "Mr. Gass predicts that China's private aerospace companies will be of a certain scale in two or three years. You know, these aerospace companies are all developing rocket systems."

Li Changxi was a smart man and immediately said, "I see. Mr. Gass wants to launch rockets for these aerospace companies."

"Yes, that's what it means."

That makes sense.

Without sufficient benefits, people like Bill Gates would not be interested.

The cost of launching a rocket is not low, and it is a monopoly industry with high barriers to entry. If there are enough rocket launch orders, it is indeed a good business.

As for why Gates set his sights on Hong Kong Island, the reason is simple: there are no restrictions on capital in Hong Kong Island, making it more convenient for foreign investment.

"Mr. Snart, will these aerospace companies come to Hong Kong Island to launch rockets? As far as I know, there are launch sites in the mainland."

"Mr. Li, you may not know this, but there are not enough launch sites in the mainland, and the launch missions have been fully booked. I heard that a private company wants to do a rocket launch test, but it has to wait for nearly a year."

Li Changxi was stunned: "Ah? It takes a year to wait? Is it that serious?"

Snart nodded.

"No wonder……"

"Mr. Li, what's the problem?"

"Ah, nothing, nothing."

Li Changxi's first reaction was that he finally figured out why Hu Jiangshan wanted to build a space launch site on Tenglong Island. So this was his idea.

I was careless and didn't dodge, so Hu Jiangshan took advantage of me.

Snart said, "Mr. Li, are you interested in participating in this?"

Li Changxi immediately asked, "I wonder what Mr. Gass wants to do? How does he want me to participate? I really don't understand the space launch site."

Snart took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and then answered: "What is Mr. Gates' plan? Mr. Li, we can help find a suitable place that is spacious enough to build a launch site. Mr. Gates can provide funds and technology. If Mr. Li has any other ideas, you can also bring them up."

Li Changxi's expression lit up: "I think this arrangement is good. I'm good at finding places."

"Then Mr. Li feels that we can cooperate."

"of course can."

Li Changxi raised his glass and clinked it with Snart's, making a crisp sound.

After the two finished drinking, Li Changxi thought of something again.

"By the way, I'm curious, why did Mr. Gass come to our Li family to discuss cooperation?"

Snart hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know about this. Maybe it's because your Li family is the strongest in Hong Kong Island, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, that's true. Mr. Gaishi really has good taste."

In fact, Snetter knew that Bill Gates had contacted another person first, Hu Jiangshan.

But Hu Jiangshan did not agree to cooperate, so Geis had to talk to the Li family to see if there was any chance.

Snart had been to Hong Kong Island several times before and met Li Changxi through an introduction. Naturally, he wanted to make use of this connection, so he came over to chat with him.

Li Changxi said: "By the way, if, I mean if, Hong Kong Island already has a launch site, will it affect Mr. Gass's investment?"

"Ah? What are you talking about? Is there a launch site on Hong Kong Island? A launch site is very difficult to build."

Li Changxi said quickly: "Ah, I'm just guessing. Even if there is a launch site, it's just a showpiece. It can't launch rockets at all, right?"

Snart nodded in agreement.

Li Changxi was drinking with Snart while thinking about something. He was wondering how good Hu Jiangshan was at the launch site.
Is it a fake or the real thing?

Li Changxi also thought that if he could participate in the construction of a real space launch site in Hong Kong Island, it would be a groundbreaking achievement.
