Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 348 Becoming the Family's Key Training Target
The next day, Tenglong Island.

In the morning, Hu Jiangshan got up from his comfortable bed and looked out the window. The sunlight was already very strong, shining brightly on the beach of Tenglong Bay, making Tenglong Bay even more magnificent and colorful.

What is magical is that there are almost no waves in Tenglong Bay at this time. It is in a still state, more like a piece of jade of varying shades, so beautiful that it is refreshing.

When Hu Jiangshan woke up, he saw such a beautiful scenery. It was like a fairy-like life.

This is what is called facing the sea, facing the sea.

Needless to say, Hu Jiangshan lived in Bill Gaskell's big villa.

Of course, this big villa now belongs to Hu Jiangshan.

To be honest, the things that Gass makes are of high quality and he spares no expense in everything he does.

For example, all the building materials for this villa were shipped directly from the Lighthouse Country.

Whether it is stone or wood, the surface has undergone strict special treatment, which is moisture-proof, insect-proof and even fire-proof.

Needless to say, the furniture is custom-made and you can't buy it anywhere else.

However, there was no water or electricity before, so the experience was not very good. How could Gates endure such "hard" conditions?

Gass never lived in this villa for a single day.

Now Hu Jiangshan has solved the problems of water and electricity, both of which are in unlimited supply. He even has a special cleaning robot to do daily housekeeping. Hu Jiangshan lives very comfortably here.

Hu Jiangshan looked back at the big bed, and of course there was no one else there.

Zhou Yuezhu got up and left early.

To be honest, Hu Jiangshan didn't even know when she left.

Hu Jiangshan still felt quite sorry. After all, yesterday was a bit crazy. Hu Jiangshan now felt back pain and leg cramps, not to mention Zhou Yuezhu.

In fact, Hu Jiangshan never thought that he could achieve that level. It was definitely impossible in his previous life. After he integrated more and more deeply with the young master in this life, he developed some more habits.

It's okay on weekdays, but these habits will be exposed under certain circumstances.

It could also be because the rocket launch was successful, so I had no pressure and felt very relaxed.

Although this kind of rocket launch experiment was very simple for Hu Jiangshan, that was in his previous life. In this life, Hu Jiangshan was just a young man after all. To build such a space project from scratch required overcoming numerous difficulties, which was quite difficult. But if he succeeded, it was still worth celebrating.

Hu Jiangshan went to the terrace on the second floor, took out a bottle of cold beer from the refrigerator, sat on a lounge chair, and drank while admiring the beautiful scenery of Tenglong Bay.

At this time, the Tenglong Bay was calm. Except for a few boats parked at the dock, the bay was empty. There were only two speedboats hovering near the entrance of the bay in the distance.

That is the patrol boat of the Marine Police. It has been maintaining order here for the past two days and it is quite hard work.

However, the Marine Police Force has more than just these two speedboats. They should have a shift system, but Hu Jiangshan has never paid attention to it, so he doesn't know how the Marine Police Force's speedboats are rotated.

The rocket launch experiment was successful and it has come to an end.

However, Hu Jiangshan still has a lot of things to do next. For example, there are some minor problems in the launch process, which need to be optimized. Also, some facilities at the space launch site are not very complete and need further improvement and upgrading.

Of course, these things can be done slowly and there is no need to rush.

However, Hu Jiangshan felt that he would have a lot of other things to do afterwards, after all, it had attracted enough attention before the rocket launch.

The fact that so many people and so many boats came yesterday is proof of this.

To be honest, when Hu Jiangshan saw so many boats blocking outside Tenglong Bay, he was shocked. He had never expected that there would be such high popularity.

It is said that some media also broadcast it live. Although Hu Jiangshan did not watch the live broadcast online, he heard people mention it and said that many people watched it.

In addition to local netizens in Hong Kong Island, many netizens from the mainland and overseas also came to join in the fun.

Hu Jiangshan also knew that before the rocket launch many people doubted whether it could really be successful, and the majority of netizens even concluded that it would not be successful or that the launch would be postponed.

Now that it has succeeded, it proves that Hu Jiangshan was not bragging.

Such a result will surely shock many people, and the subsequent effects will be revealed.

To be honest, Hu Jiangshan didn’t know what would happen next, but he thought nothing bad would happen.

Hu Jiangshan finished the whole bottle of beer, burped, and felt very refreshed.

It’s so nice to live without pressure. No wonder everyone envies the life of the rich second generation. All they do every day is eat, drink, play and pretend to be cool.

The weather is a bit sunny today, so the water in the swimming pool must have been heated up a long time ago, so you can swim there.

Hu Jiangshan went downstairs and prepared to change into his swimsuit and soak in the pool for a while, swimming two laps back and forth.

It's so hard to come here, and I'll always feel like something is missing if I don't enjoy the swimming pool.

Hu Jiangshan glanced at the mobile phone on the island in the living room and found several missed calls.

But they were basically all from unfamiliar numbers, and I also received a few text messages.

Hu Jiangshan opened it and took a look. It seemed that they were all sent by people working in the media.

[Mr. Hu, we are reporters from Greater Bay Life. When are you free? Can you accept our interview? ]

[Boss Hu, do you still remember me? Congratulations on the successful launch of your rocket. I would like to schedule an interview with you. Is tomorrow afternoon possible? ]

[Mr. Hu, we are from the Evening Planet. Please call us back when you have time. We hope to interview you.]

Hu Jiangshan shook his head. Sure enough, many media wanted to contact him.

This is just the information sent directly to his mobile phone. There are many media outlets that only have Zhou Yuezhu's contact information. I'm afraid Zhou Yuezhu's phone is about to be bombarded with calls.

Never mind for now, Hu Jiangshan plans to ignore it all.

If they are really sincere, they can contact Zhou Yuezhu directly to arrange an interview time. Now the most important thing is to swim.

Just then, the cell phone rang.

【Caller ID: Peng Xiaojun】

It was Peng Xiaojun, the boss of Starry Sky Glory, who called, so I had to answer his call.

Moreover, Hu Jiangshan had already anticipated Peng Xiaojun's call.

An observation team from Starry Sky Glory came yesterday just to see the entire process of the rocket launch at the Tenglong Island Space Launch Center.

I believe that everyone in Starry Sky Glory has received a satisfactory answer, even beyond their expectations.

Hu Jiangshan answered the phone and Peng Xiaojun's enthusiastic voice came from the other end.

The two of them shouted a few words first, and Peng Xiaojun couldn't wait to get to the point.

"Boss Hu, first of all, congratulations on the successful launch of this experiment. Our observation team also witnessed the launch effect throughout the whole process, which was very good."

Hu Jiangshan thanked him. Peng Xiaojun said, "Boss Hu, we have decided to send the prototype to the Tenglong Island launch site. Can you help us conduct a rocket launch test? Is that okay?"

"Of course, no problem, Mr. Peng. We are a commercial space launch site. We need customers. We very much hope that Starry Sky Glory can become the first customer of our Tenglong Island Space Launch Site."

Peng Xiaojun laughed and said, "That's great. How about this? We will send someone to discuss cooperation with you right away. After the negotiation is completed, we will arrange to transport the prototype of the rocket to Hong Kong Island."

"Okay, no problem, we can talk about our affairs."

Peng Xiaojun felt more relieved after hearing this. Hu Jiangshan's meaning was clear and understandable. It would be very easy for both parties to discuss the cooperation this time. Everything could be negotiated, including the price and process.

After the cooperation over the past period of time, Peng Xiaohu's army has figured out Hu Jiangshan's personality and found him to be very easy to talk to. Otherwise, the chips sold to Starry Sky Glory would not be so affordable, and the price quoted for Starry Sky Glory's rocket launch would also be very favorable.

Peng Xiaojun couldn't help but secretly feel fortunate that he had a partner like Hu Jiangshan, who was capable but not troublesome, and was truly an excellent partner.

At the same time, in Hong Kong Island, China United Group.

In the conference room, the company's executives are having a regular meeting.

High-level meetings like this are very important, and executives must attend them unless they are sick or on business trips outside the company.

After all, some important matters of the group have to be discussed here.

The person who chaired the meeting was of course the boss of Hezhong Group, Chairman Hu Wenxin.

At this point, the meeting was coming to an end, but no one felt relaxed.

Generally, more serious and difficult issues will be brought up at this time to discuss solutions.

Of course, there is usually no solution, but if there is, it would be a pleasant surprise.

At this time, Hu Wenxin asked: "Okay, is there anything else you want to say?"

At this time, Yu Wei said, "Mr. Hu, can we discuss the purchase case with Huaxun Technology?"

Hu Wenxin was stunned for a moment, then said, "Hua Xun Technology, yes, we have been negotiating with their purchasing department for more than a month, right? How is the negotiation going? Lu Ping, are you responsible for the negotiation with Hua Xun Technology?"

Lu Ping's face looked difficult, and he seemed unwilling to mention this matter.

But since Mr. Hu asked, I have to answer.

Lupin said, "Hua Xun Technology's requirements are too high, and the price they offer is also relatively high. If we must cooperate with them, we will have to pay a relatively high price. I feel that the gains do not outweigh the losses."

"Pay a relatively high price? What price do you mean? It may be a bit higher. As long as it's not too much higher, I think we should be able to afford it."

"This is not just because of the price. The other party asked us to sign a lot of restrictive clauses, which are very demanding."

"Restrictions? Like what?"

"For example, we have to use their software, and there are additional costs for maintenance and upgrades. In addition, the purchased machines cannot be moved around at will, otherwise they will not be able to start up."

"Ah? Isn't this a bit too overbearing?"

Hu Wenxin frowned, obviously very unhappy.

Although the Hu family is not one of the top wealthy families in Hong Kong Island, the Hezhong Group is not bad and is still one of the top companies in Hong Kong Island.

In terms of group size alone, Hutchison Whampoa Group can rank among the top three in Hong Kong Island.

Even if the profitability is worse, it will not be far behind the top five. The strength of Hezhong Group is still very strong.

Of course, Huaxun Technology is no pushover either. It is a subsidiary of Biyangdi and has a R&D cooperation relationship with Huayao. It is said that there is also mainland state-owned capital involved, and its background is very strong.

Bi Yangdi should all know that the mainland's automobile groups have very strong technical capabilities.

Although it was less prominent than Yangdi in that year, it would shock the world within two years. Its car sales even ranked among the top ten and top five of Blue Star... until it became the sales champion.

With the backing of Biyangdi, Huaxun Technology is naturally confident when discussing cooperation with its partners, and sometimes even confronts them head-on and refuses to give in.

This time, Hezhong Group wanted to open a factory in the mainland and needed to purchase a batch of equipment from Huaxun Technology. They thought they could buy it as long as they spent money, but they ran into a snag because there were so many conditions to comply with.

Other executives were also angry when they heard this.

Someone said: "How ridiculous! Do they look down on us? Don't they know the strength of our Hezhong Group?"

Another executive also shouted: "Yes, this is too bullying. The price is high, and we have to sign a bunch of unequal terms.

"Yes, that's too much!"

Lupin quickly explained: "That's not the case. Huaxun Technology relies on its strong technical strength and excellent products to have no shortage of orders. It is the same when negotiating cooperation with other companies. They will always set the same restrictions and will never give in if you don't sign."

Everyone looked at each other.

"So that's how it is. It seems this company is really crazy."

"Have you never seen a background check? Huaxun Technology is backed by Biyangdi, arguably the most powerful automaker in the mainland. I've heard that engineers make tens of thousands."

Biyangdi is very strong in the mainland, but he is not that famous in Hong Kong Island. How can he be so powerful?"

"Hey! Who knows? In my opinion, we shouldn't discuss cooperation with Huaxun Technology anymore. It's not a good idea to keep getting entangled with it. It's better to change to another company."

Others nodded as well, there was really no need to hang oneself on a tree.

Hu Wenxin said: "Boss Lu, let's change a company."

Lupin hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss Peng, we have tried to find other equipment manufacturers, but we haven't found a suitable one yet."

Hu Wenxin was stunned: "Can't find a suitable one? How is that possible? Is Huaxun Technology the only company that produces this kind of equipment?"

"Hua Xun Technology is the only company in China with good technology. There are some overseas suppliers, such as Deutsche, which has one or two suppliers, but their prices are not so suitable."

Hu Wenxin frowned: "How much more expensive is Deutsche's price?"

"It will have to be at least doubled, and the delivery time cannot be guaranteed. A conservative estimate is that it will take a year."

"Ah, this... According to what you said, only Huaxun Technology is the most suitable, there is no other choice."

Lupin had no choice but to nod: "That seems to be the case at the moment, but we are still looking for other alternative suppliers."

Hu Wenxin sighed: "It seems that Huaxun Technology is indeed confident."

The others also understood immediately. No wonder Huaxun Technology was so arrogant. It turned out that they could have the best of both worlds.

Hu Wenxin thought for a moment and said, "Boss Lu, please ask the person in charge of Huaxun Technology to come out. I will go and talk to them."

Lupin was stunned. He didn't expect Hu Wenxin to take action personally.

In fact, Hu Wenxin had some selfish motives. He also wanted to bring Hu Jiangshan along to develop his abilities.

As long as Hu Jiangshan does a good job, he will be able to take over the position in the future.
