Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 340: Media Interviews, Landmines Everywhere

Hu Jiangshan drank tea with these rich ladies for a while, then said goodbye and left.

It is impossible for Hu Jiangshan to follow them all the time. These rich ladies have plenty of free time, but Hu Jiangshan has a career and time does not allow it.

At the same time, on the 35th floor of Tai Wo Building, Central, Hong Kong Island.

The office rent in this building is very expensive, as it is in any country on the blue planet.

There is an office on the 35th floor, which belongs to Hu Jiangshan’s company.

The logo at the entrance of the office is very beautiful, and the facade decoration is also remarkable and full of design sense.

And if someone goes inside the company to take a look, they will be very surprised. What kind of company is this?
The company is full of science fiction elements such as space shuttles, rockets, spacecraft, launch pads, and even aliens.

Is this an animation company or a gaming company?
It can't be an aerospace company!

In fact, this is indeed an aerospace company, at least it is decorated according to the characteristics of an aerospace company.

At this time, two men got off the elevator and came to the door of Jiangshan Company.

"Is this right here?"

"Yes, did you see it? Jiangshan Company is not wrong."

The company's door was closed, and I could see the receptionist through the glass door.

One of them rang the doorbell.

The door opened quickly.

The two of them swaggered into the company.

One of these two people is named Liu Kaiyan. He is not tall and not very old, but he shows some signs of baldness. He is obviously a smart man who overuses his brain. Judging from his behavior, he is definitely a local of Hong Kong Island.

The other person is named Eric. He has some European and American features on his face, but his hair is black, his eyes are lighter in color than those of white people in Europe and America, and his skin is closer to that of Chinese people.

There are many people like Eric in Hong Kong, who are mixed-race, half European and American.

Liu Kaiyan and Eric are reporters from Hong Kong Chinese Online. They came to Jiangshan Company to do an interview.

The two walked into the company, greeted the girl at the front desk, and then were led into the company.

As they walked, they looked at the company's furnishings and decorations, and they felt very novel.

Then, the beautiful girl at the front desk took them to a reception room, asked them to sit down, and brought them two cups of coffee.

Please wait for a moment, boss, we will be here soon."

"Okay, we're not in a hurry. It's okay to wait slowly."

The girl at the front desk nodded and left, and the two began to talk and whisper.

"This office is well decorated, better than our company."

"Indeed, they are willing to spend so much money. It's really extravagant."

Liu Kaiyan said: "I didn't expect this to be a real aerospace company. I thought it was just bragging."

Eric nodded. "Well, it looks good, but I doubt the quality of this aerospace company. There must be something fishy about it. We have to find out what's going on before we can make big news."

"They are about to launch a rocket, which means they are serious about this."

"How can this be certain? They say they will launch, but they may postpone it. I heard that many foreign aerospace companies do this in order to increase their share prices and negotiate with investors."

"……makes sense."

The two reporters came to interview Hu Jiangshan, the boss of Jiangshan Company.

From their conversation, it was clear that the purpose of this interview was not simple. In name, they were here to interview, but in reality, they were here to find fault.

Media working in Hong Kong Island have to find ways to make big news and attract the audience's attention, otherwise there is no need for the media to exist and it will gradually be marginalized.

So if there is no news, make news.

This is the professional quality of media professionals.

Hong Kong Chinese Online is a fairly large media outlet in Hong Kong Island, and its audience market is not limited to Hong Kong Island. It has considerable influence in the Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Southeast Asia, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong region of the Mainland.

This is of course the confidence of this media. They contacted Jiangshan Company and immediately allowed an interview.

Eric added, "By the way, the boss of this company seems to be that...what's his name?"

"Hu Jiangshan."

"Yes, yes, Hu Jiangshan, um, it's the same as the company's name, is it a coincidence?"

Liu Kaiyan waved his hand: "Of course it's not a coincidence, the company was named after him."

Although Eric was born in Hong Kong Island, he only lived there until his teenage years. He then went to study abroad and returned to Hong Kong Island to work after graduation, so his understanding of China is not very in-depth.

Liu Kaiyan thought for a moment and said, "This boss is not simple. He is a well-known rich second generation. You should have heard of him."

"Yes, of course I have heard of him. He is the famous Hu Jiangshan."

At this point, Eric laughed, obviously with a sense of sarcasm.

Liu Kaiyan said: "Eric, can such a rich second-generation person start an aerospace company? Do you believe it?"

"This... I definitely don't believe that he did it. Maybe it was someone behind him who did it. That's why we have to dig out the person behind him!"

A moment later, someone walked in.

Eric and Liu Kai's eyes lit up. The other person was a very beautiful woman with an amazing body, the kind that made people unable to take their eyes off her.

This person is Jiangshan’s administrative director Zhou Yuezhu.

"Hello, are you two reporters from Hong Kong Chinese Online?"

The two came to their senses and nodded quickly.

"Yes, we are from Hong Kong Chinese Online."

"I am Hu Jiangshan's administrative supervisor, my last name is Zhou."

Zhou Yuezhu shook hands with both of them.

Eric smiled and said, "Hello, Manager Zhou. Excuse me, you are really beautiful and charming."

Zhou Yuezhu's smile became even more charming, blinding Eric and Liu Kaiyan's titanium dog eyes.

The two of them thought at the same time that Boss Hu was so lucky to have found such a hot subordinate. He must be so happy.

Zhou Yuezhu said: "Come with me, our boss is waiting for you in the office."

"Ah, aren't you interviewing here?"

"It's not very convenient here, let's go to the boss' office."

A moment later, Zhou Yuezhu brought two reporters to the office door.

Zhou Yuezhu knocked on the door.

A young voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

Zhou Yuezhu opened the door and led the two reporters in. Liu Kaiyan and Eric looked at the boss sitting at the desk curiously.

He was a young man and very handsome.

Eric asked in a low voice: "Is this Hu Jiangshan?"

Liu Kaiyan shook his head: "I haven't seen him either, I don't know him, I guess, he's about the same age."

"He's so handsome, he must be popular with girls, right?"

As he spoke, Eric glanced at Zhou Yue, the only child.

Zhou Yuezhu walked up, whispered something to Hu Jiangshan, then brought three cups of coffee and left the office.

At this time, the boss stood up and greeted them, and shook hands with each of them in turn and exchanged a few words.

Liu Kaiyan and Eric seemed a little overwhelmed because Hu Jiangshan acted very sophisticated and mature beyond his age.

However, these two reporters are also very experienced, and the boss is probably pretending to be mature and acting.

This is not a problem for them. They just need to ask Hu Jiangshan a few questions and he will be exposed.

When the two communicated with Hu Jiangshan's company in advance, they did not provide the questions they wanted to ask, which was actually very unusual.

Because if you are accepting an interview with a company, they will definitely ask you to provide the questions they want to ask in advance. Appropriate questions can be asked, and inappropriate questions must be deleted to avoid poor performance during the interview or malicious misinterpretation.

Of course, even if the reporter provided the questions that were to be asked before, they also have a way to plant mines in it, the only difference is between open mines and hidden mines.

So this made them feel that Hu Jiangshan’s company was very immature, unprofessional, and very easy to deal with.

The two reporters sat down, laptops and recorders ready.

Liu Kaiyan said: "Mr. Hu, we won't waste your time, let's start the interview."

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Sure, feel free to ask any questions you have."

Liu Kaiyan and Eric smiled at each other. They both felt that Hu Jiangshan was too arrogant and not cautious at all when facing the interview. It was easy to get big news and reveal big secrets from such a person.

The two knew Hu Jiangshan's identity. He was the son of the boss of Hezhong Group, and the information he had was very valuable.

Liu Kaiyan stared at the screen and asked a prepared question: "Mr. Hu, what is the nature of your company? Is it an aerospace company?"

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "We are in the business of operating the space launch site, so of course we belong to the aerospace company."

"So when did you start preparing?"

"It took a long time to prepare, starting several years ago, and now we have the results."

Liu Kaiyan nodded, feeling that Hu Jiangshan's words were flawless, fluent and natural, and his choice of words was very precise. If he had not prepared in advance, it would mean that he was really good at speaking.

But it doesn’t matter, this is completely unrelated, the questions that follow will be even more tricky.

"Mr. Hu, can you tell me? How many people are there in your team? Where does the aerospace technology come from? I mean, even if it's a space launch site, it should be very technological, right? An ordinary team can't do this."

"Yes, it is very technical, but this aspect cannot be disclosed. It is a commercial secret."

"Trade secrets, this..."

"Yes, the technology of the aerospace industry is confidential. This cannot be disclosed, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble."

Liu Kaiyan said calmly: "Okay, then let's discuss the next question. We have received news that the space launch site you invested in recently will conduct its first rocket launch test. Is this true?"

"it is true."

"Then can you tell us the exact time of the rocket launch?"

"The launch is scheduled for this Saturday."

"That……"

Eric looked up at Hu Jiangshan and said, "Then the launch time has been confirmed and will not be changed or delayed, right?"

In fact, this question is difficult to answer. If Hu Jiangshan says that the launch time will not be changed, then there is no way back. No matter what problems we encounter, the only correct thing to do is to launch on time.

If it can be changed, it means that Hu Jiangshan lacks confidence and cannot guarantee the success of the rocket launch, and it may even make people think that he is a liar.

Don't underestimate the influence of these media. They will interpret a normal sentence in various ways.

These interpretations are often negative and can greatly affect the image of the interviewee; this is what is known as media art.

Hu Jiangshan smiled faintly and replied: "If there are no special circumstances, the rocket will be launched as scheduled."

"So...what is a special situation? Can Mr. Hu explain it?"

"So-called special circumstances, such as tsunamis, storms, earthquakes, and even wars, these force majeure factors will affect rocket launches."

Liu Kaiyan was stunned. He didn't expect Hu Jiangshan to be so sure. These events would not happen easily, especially tsunamis and storms, which could be predicted.

An earthquake is also unlikely as the area around Hong Kong Island is not located in an earthquake zone.

As for war, it is even more impossible from the current perspective. How can a war break out suddenly without any warning?

Hu Jiangshan's answer is equivalent to saying that the rocket launch will basically not be delayed and will definitely be launched as scheduled on Saturday.

This is too much confidence, which makes it difficult for senior journalists like them to write articles.

But it doesn’t matter, they have more serious problems.

"Mr. Hu, what is the success rate of rocket launches? Can it be 100% successful?"

There is a mystery behind this question. It is impossible for a rocket launch to be 100% successful. The interviewees will definitely play Tai Chi and say they will try their best, but mistakes are inevitable, which can also be interpreted as a lack of confidence.

Anyway, using the Spring and Autumn style of writing, you can write whatever you want, and you must write in a negative direction.

The media uses the pen as a sword, and it is very easy to discredit someone.

It is basically certain that it was 100% successful.

"Ah? Are you sure?"

Liu Kaiyan looked up at Hu Jiangshan again. The other party was looking straight at him. His eyes were intimidating without being angry. Liu Kaiyan could not help but dodge.

"Mr. Hu, as far as I know, rocket launches cannot be guaranteed to be 100% successful. Are you so confident?"

"If they weren't confident, they wouldn't have hyped up this rocket launch, would they?"

"Hmm? This... is indeed the case..."

Liu Kaiyan was speechless for a moment. He was actually taken advantage of by the other party.

Okay, let’s add some more spice!
"Mr. Hu, you can't manage such a large company by yourself, right? Will Hezhong Group also support your business?"

Hu Jiangshan replied calmly: "No."

"...Ah? No? Hezhong Group has nothing to do with your company?"

"Of course it doesn't matter. You should know that the main business of Hezhong Group is real estate and finance, which has nothing to do with the aerospace industry. What can they do to help me?"

"This……"

Liu Kaiyan really didn't expect Hu Jiangshan to answer so confidently, leaving no room for any speculation.

That shouldn’t be the case. A rich second-generation like Hu Jiangshan who wants to start a business must have the support of his family.
