Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 330: Boss Hu is very different from the rumors
Fang Xiaoya and Tao Cong looked at each other to confirm that they were not mistaken.

The man holding the sign was a young man of medium height and looked very energetic.

Fang Xiaoya walked over, and before she could say anything, the other party's eyes lit up and asked, "Excuse me, are you the guests of Starry Sky Glory?"

Fang Xiaoya nodded: "Yes, you are..."

The young man came up with a smile and introduced himself enthusiastically: "Hello, I'm Zhao Zhiwei, Yusheng, it's me, no, you may not know my uncle, I was sent by Mr. Hu, and he specially asked me to pick you up."

Zhao Zhiwei's voice was bright and friendly, immediately dispelling everyone's fatigue from the journey.

Fang Xiaoya smiled faintly, her eyes curved into crescents, and she stretched out her hand and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhao. We were thinking of taking a taxi to the hotel, but we didn't expect Mr. Hu to be so thoughtful and save us a lot of trouble."

Tao Cong also nodded, smiling, and agreed, "That's right. I had planned to be self-reliant, but I didn't expect Mr. Hu to be so thoughtful and trouble Brother Zhao to come and pick me up."

Zhao Zhiwei quickly waved his hands: "Just call me Wei, I'm not that old."

As he spoke, Zhao Zhiwei helped Fang Xiaoya with her luggage, and then led everyone to the parking lot.

This young man Zhao Zhiwei is really capable and has a sense of storm.

Several other colleagues from Starry Sky Glory chatted in low voices as they walked.

"Boss Hu is quite capable."

"After all, I'm the boss of a business, so there won't be any rookies here."

"I heard that this Mr. Hu is a second-generation rich man from Hong Kong Island, and he is quite arrogant."

"Who told you that? Rumors, right?"

"Probably not. Have you heard of the Hu family in Hong Kong Island? He is the son of the Hu family. He has a bad reputation and often gets into trouble."

"What do you mean? According to you, this company is not reliable at all."

"Hey, I heard that too. Besides, he might not be the one who actually controls the company."

"I think you should stop spreading these rumors. It will disturb people's hearts and affect the cooperation between the two sides."

"You think too much. There are many people in the company who know about this. All the senior executives know about it."

Although the conversation between these colleagues was quiet, Fang Xiaoya had good hearing and was able to hear roughly what was going on.

The top management of Starry Glory basically knew how bad Hu Jiangshan's reputation was. After all, Hu Jiangshan was a partner, so they had to conduct a background check on him.

You don’t know until you investigate. Once you investigate, everyone in Starry Sky Glory is shocked.

Who would have thought that Hu Jiangshan was such a person in private?

To say that he is a bad person is an understatement. He is simply a scum of the world.

However, the background check company also said that Hu Jiangshan has been much quieter recently and seems to have changed his personality.

Of course, not many people believe this statement. It is difficult to change one's nature, as it is impossible for a person to change so easily.

It is relatively easy for a good person to become bad, but it is almost impossible for a bad person to become good.

However, Hu Jiangshan has an advantage, which is that he has the endorsement of the Semiconductor Association.

People in the Semiconductor Association have always spoken well of Hu Jiangshan, saying that he is a very rigorous and dedicated Hong Kong businessman.

What’s rare is that Hu Jiangshan is still so young and has already been included in the national white list, which is quite amazing.

This is also the biggest reason why Peng Xiaojun finally convinced everyone to try to cooperate with Hu Jiangshan.

As a result, everyone was happy. Starry Glory finally solved the chip crisis, and got it at a very low cost.

Hu Jiangshan is unexpectedly reliable. Just as the people from the Semiconductor Association said, he is a pretty amazing Hong Kong businessman.

Fang Xiaoya had met Hu Jiangshan two or three times, and her impression of him became better and better. Fang Xiaoya was even confused, as Hu Jiangshan himself did not match the rumors at all.

Fang Xiaoya was quite worried at first. What if Hu Jiangshan was really acting?
Fang Xiaoya really didn't know how she would feel if she found out that Hu Jiangshan was really a bad person who hid himself very well.

But when Fang Xiaoya thought about it again, she realized that Hu Jiangshan was just the boss of a cooperative company and had nothing to do with her at all.

Fang Xiaoya sighed and felt that she was thinking too much.

That shouldn't be the case. Fang Xiaoya considers herself a workaholic. She has always been devoted to research and rarely thinks about such trivial things.

Tao Cong asked: "Mr. Fang, why are you sighing?"

"Ah, nothing, just a little tired."

Zhao Zhiwei, who was walking in front, heard what Fang Xiaoya said, turned around and said with a smile: "Our boss knows that you must be tired, so he prepared food in the car, and it will be here soon."

Everyone followed Zhao Zhiwei to the parking lot.

To the surprise of Fang Xiaoya, Tao Cong and others, what Zhao Zhiwei drove over was actually a minibus.

Tao Cong couldn't help but say, "Such a big car? It's a bit exaggerated."

Zhao Zhiwei said: "Our boss said he didn't know how many of you would come, so he gave me a big car so that there would be enough space."

"Boss Hu is really thoughtful."

"You guys can get in the car first, I'll carry the luggage."

"How can that be? We can just pick it up."

Everyone got on the bus one by one and sat down.

This minibus is very new and the air conditioning is turned on very well, making the guests of Starry Sky Glory feel very comfortable.

This minibus is an old player on Hu Jiangshan's side. It was borrowed from Hezhong Group and is a new car purchased by the fleet.

Hu Jiangshan had borrowed the car twice before. Seeing that his son seemed to need it very much, Hu Wenxin waved her hand and gave the car directly to Hu Jiangshan for his exclusive use. However, it was usually parked in the parking lot of Hezhong Group.

At this time, Zhao Zhiwei enthusiastically gave each person a small package, which contained various snacks, drinks, and drinking water.

These foods are all high-end products and are not something you can buy in convenience stores.

Tao Cong whispered, "Boss Hu is really thoughtful."

Fang Xiaoya also had to give Hu Jiangshan a big thumbs up. There was one kind of dark chocolate that she particularly liked.

The minibus slowly drove out of the airport parking lot. Zhao Zhiwei seemed to have turned into a tour guide for Hong Kong Island. Along the way, he never stopped talking, pointing his finger at various places outside the car window, and said excitedly: "Look, this is the famous Victoria Harbour. During the day, the sea water is sparkling, and at night, the lights are bright. The scenery is beautiful. It is a must-visit place for many tourists to Hong Kong Island. Further ahead is Victoria Peak. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the scenery of the entire Hong Kong Island. If the weather is good, you can even see the Kowloon Peninsula on the opposite bank clearly..."

Zhao Zhiwei has a very special identity, he is Yu Sheng’s nephew and now works on Tenglong Island.

But Zhao Zhiwei is not a relative of others, he is indeed very capable.

It makes sense for Hu Jiangshan to send Zhao Zhiwei over. This guy is indeed smart, outgoing, and eloquent, making him very suitable for reception work.

A moment later, we arrived at the hotel.

Zhao Zhiwei also enthusiastically helped everyone move their luggage off the car.

After everyone got off the car, Fang Xiaoya said to Zhao Zhiwei, "Ah Wei, we can check in by ourselves. If you have anything to do, go back first."

Zhao Zhiwei nodded: "Okay, then everyone, take a rest first. The boss said that he has something to deal with today, so he won't receive you in person. I will arrange for you to taste Hong Kong Island delicacies yesterday."

"Ah? This...is not necessary? No need to trouble Boss Hu."

Zhao Zhiwei said: "The boss will make the arrangements when the time comes. You are welcome. Okay, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

After saying that, Zhao Zhiwei got on the minibus, turned the wheel skillfully, and drove away from the hotel entrance.

Fang Xiaoya, Tao Cong and others quickly completed the check-in procedures, put their luggage in their respective rooms, rested for a while, and then came downstairs to gather for a small meeting.

After all, they were not coming to Hong Kong for tourism, but for business, so of course they had to have the mindset and arrangements of a business trip.

They can't even rest in the hotel room and have to get into work mode immediately. This is how competitive a start-up scientific research company is.

As mentioned before, this time the team is led by Fang Xiaoya and Tao Cong. However, because Fang Xiaoya has been to Hong Kong Island several times and holds the highest position in the company, she is mainly responsible for presiding over the meetings and arranging work.

Now everyone is feeling very nervous because they are going to visit Hu Jiangshan’s space launch site tomorrow. Everything they see is very important and no detail can be missed.

Fang Xiaoya assigned the work, and then Tao Cong began to use his professional ability to instruct other members how to do their work and what matters need to be paid attention to.

"Okay, listen to me. Everyone should be mentally prepared. The space launch site here should be relatively simple and will not be as sophisticated and complete as the national-level space launch sites. But this does not mean that the launch site cannot be used. After all, the purpose of the launch site is to successfully launch the rocket into space, and function is the most important thing."

The other colleagues nodded to show that they understood.

"I know. This is the same as the launch site of SpaceX. There is no paved ground, no concrete floor. It is just simply hardened. If it weren't for the launch site, you would think it was a mining site just by looking at the ground."

Tao Cong nodded and said, "Yes, that's the case. So don't focus on whether the launch site's infrastructure is sophisticated or not. The main thing is to look at the functional implementation. For example, for the most critical launch pad, look at the material and structural strength, as well as whether the electrical system is complete."

As everyone listened, they took notes in their notebooks. What Tao Cong said was very crucial.

Then, Tao Cong said, "The most important thing in the launch site is of course the equipment in the central control room. This is Engineer Fang's area, so Engineer Fang should pay more attention to it."

Fang Xiaoya took a sip of coffee, nodded and said, "Leave it to me."

Fang Xiaoya is an expert in electronic engineering and information science, and also holds a double doctorate. She is very familiar with all kinds of instruments at the launch site. She can tell what they are for and what their functions are just by taking a glance.

Of course, the ideal situation would be that Hu Jiangshan could cooperate more, turn on the instruments and equipment, and allow Fang Xiaoya to actually check some functional parameters. This way, we can be 100% sure whether those high-tech instruments and equipment can be used and whether their functions are powerful enough.

Tao Cong said, "I wonder if Boss Hu can fully cooperate with us and let us see what we want to see. Engineer Fang, do you think Boss Hu is easy to talk to?"

Fang Xiaoya thought for a moment and replied, "After several contacts, I feel that he is easy to talk to, but it is hard to say. After all, the equipment is too sensitive, and many of them involve company secrets. He may not let us see them casually."

"Engineer Fang, then communicate with Boss Hu and explain the situation. This is very important to us."

Fang Xiaoya nodded: "Don't worry, I will."

In fact, Fang Xiaoya had already prepared a set of rhetoric before coming to Hong Kong Island, trying to persuade Hu Jiangshan to cooperate more.

At this time, a colleague said, "I feel like there's a chance. Boss Hu's arrangements this time are quite detailed. He took good care of us, picking us up and dropping us off, and also arranging so many delicious meals."

Another colleague said: "That's because Engineer Fang is good-looking. Maybe Boss Hu wants to leave a good impression on Engineer Fang."

This colleague was obviously joking, and everyone actually laughed, making the atmosphere more relaxed.

Fang Xiaoya was a little helpless. These people dared to say anything once they left the company.

Of course, this is not a bad thing, and Fang Xiaoya will not be angry.

In fact, Fang Xiaoya was quite nervous. She was worried that the launch site on Hong Kong Island would not meet the launch requirements or even be unusable at all. That would be a big blow to Starry Sky Glory.

Forget it, it’s a blessing in disguise. Disaster is inevitable. Let’s see what we can see tomorrow.

The next morning, the Starry Sky Glory team finished their breakfast in the hotel, packed up their things and waited in the hotel lobby.

Soon, Zhao Zhiwei drove the minibus to the hotel entrance.

This was agreed upon in advance. Hu Jiangshan would arrange for someone to pick up the people from Starry Sky Glory and take them to the dock.

Everyone sat in the car, talking in low voices.

"Is the spaceport at sea?"

"Ah? You don't know. The launch site is said to be on an island."

"My God, this is really a big deal. It must be very difficult to build."

"Not necessarily. Otherwise, what did Director Tao say yesterday that the launch site might be relatively simple? We can just do it casually. It's OK as long as it's passable. There's no need for a lot of infrastructure."

The hotel is quite close to the Baisha Bay Yacht Club Pier, and there is not much traffic on the road, so it only takes about ten minutes to get there.

Hu Jiangshan arranged a wide-body commuter boat in advance, and everyone got on the boat, visiting and admiring it.

Tao Cong said: "This is the first time I have seen such a boat. It seems to be specially made."

Zhao Zhiwei explained: "This is indeed a boat that the boss ordered. Only the boss has it in Hong Kong Island. You can't buy it even if you have money."

Zhao Zhiwei invited everyone to the 360-degree viewing room on the second deck, where various fruits and drinks had already been prepared.

This made everyone overjoyed. They felt like they were at home. It was so comfortable and the arrangements were so luxurious.

Eating and drinking while enjoying the sea view actually feels like a vacation.

Soon, the outline of an island appeared in front of the deck.

As the wide-body commuter ship got closer and closer to the island, everyone finally spotted a launch pad vaguely appearing on one side of the island.
