Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 370 Young Entrepreneurs from Hong Kong Island

Tom Muller didn't notice Hu Jiangshan at all, so he didn't care who was sitting there.

After Muller sat down, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and began to browse it casually, occasionally speaking a few words in British.

If the people around him could understand, they would know that he was saying that there was a problem with China's network, and a big problem.

After all, some software cannot be used in China, which is what makes Mueller most frustrated. Although he does not like to tweet like Malak and can post dozens of tweets a day, Mueller likes to read and is a heavy social media user.

The older woman had a complicated expression.

These two women, one big and one small, were actually seconded from Tesla China Company.

Although Spacex has an office in mainland China, the staff is very small. Most of the employees are foreigners. There are very few local employees, and they are not suitable for reception work.

Tesla China is different.

As we all know, Tesla has built a super factory in Shanghai, China, with tens of thousands of employees, including a large number of administrative staff.

For example, there is an older woman named Zou Luoping, who specializes in reception work at the head office and is very familiar with the job she is doing at the time.

The young one is named Ren Huixin, and she is Zou Luoping's assistant.

However, Ren Huixin is capable and competent. In terms of ability, she is not inferior to Zou Luoping, but she lacks some experience.

Zou Luoping frowned. "Why is that person sitting here? Could he be a reporter who wants to get close to Mr. Taylor? He must have done everything he could to get in."

Ren Huixin was stunned: "Ah? Is there anyone who does that?"

Zou Luoping waved her hand and said, "You are really too young. There are too many such things. Mr. Taylor is a big shot in the industry, well-known and well-known. People who want to talk to him can line up from here to Paris. These reporters will do anything to get close to the people they want to interview. I think this guy is very suspicious. He has been waiting here for a long time. Maybe he is a reporter from some media."

Ren Huixin looked at Hu Jiangshan a few more times and exclaimed that he was such a handsome guy. She felt that his temperament did not seem like that of a media reporter, but rather that of a scholar.

But Ren Huixin did not say what she was thinking. After all, Zou Luoping was now filled with righteous indignation, and she could not contradict her at this time. Once she got angry, she would be in trouble.

Zou Luoping stood up, and Ren Huixin was startled, thinking that she was going to argue with the handsome guy.

This is terrible, what if a fight breaks out? It would be really embarrassing in this situation.

Besides, Mr. Tom Mueller is still here. It is not appropriate to do anything out of the ordinary. It would be difficult to deal with if it leaves a bad impression on people.

Of course Zou Luoping couldn't do that. He waved his hand not far away and said, "Hello, can you come over here for a moment? I have something to ask you."

It turned out that Zou Leping was calling the staff.

The staff member on the other side came over after hearing this, with an ID card on his chest - Li Qi.

Li Qi certainly knew that these people sitting here must be very important guests, not to mention that there was a foreigner among them.

The foreigners who were invited are definitely big names in the aerospace industry, experts among experts. Their appearance fees are several levels higher than those of local experts.

Li Qi asked very politely: "Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I want to know, who is that person? Why is he sitting there? Did he sneak in?"

As he spoke, Zou Luoping pointed towards Hu Jiangshan.

Li Qi was stumped by the series of questions and it took him a while to react.

Li Qi looked at Hu Jiangshan with a puzzled expression, and replied in a low voice: "The seats are arranged according to the numbers, so I shouldn't... I shouldn't have made a mistake."

"You shouldn't. You should investigate before drawing conclusions. Don't let some strange people come later. Mr. Taylor is a very important guest. You can't make any mistakes.

Li Qi showed a cautious expression and said, "Okay, please wait a moment, I will check it out right away."

At the same time, Hu Jiangshan did not notice that Zou Luoping was full of malice towards him, but was concentrating on browsing his mobile phone. After all, there was still some time before the forum meeting opened, and he had to kill time.

At this time, Li Qi came over and asked, "Sir, is this your seat?"

Hu Jiangshan was stunned: "That should be it, isn't this C105?"

Li Qi looked at the back of the seat and nodded: "Yes, that's right, this seat is C105. Is your seat number C105?"

"Yes."

"Excuse me, can you show it to me?"

Hu Jiangshan said nothing. He took out his seat number tag from his pocket and handed it to the staff in front of him.

Li Qi looked at the number plate and hesitated. It was indeed C105, no mistake.

"Which company do you work for? What is your position?"

Hu Jiangshan said calmly: "I am from Jiangshan Group and I am from Hong Kong Island."

"Jiangshan Group, this..."

Of course, Li Qi had never heard of Jiangshan Group, because there is no such group company at all. It was made up by Hu Jiangshan on the spur of the moment.

Now the company under Hu Jiangshan's name is called Jiangshan Fisheries, which has nothing to do with aerospace at all. It would be confusing to mention it out loud, so we just make up a name called Jiangshan Group.

In fact, Hu Jiangshan had long planned to register another group company to include Jiangshan Fisheries and Tenglong Island Space Launch Center.

These are two different business development routes. Although the number of people is not large, it is reasonable.

Li Qi still didn't give up and asked, "Could it be a mistake?"

"Huh? Wrong, what do you mean?"

"Sir, these three rows of seats are occupied by VIP guests. I have never heard of your Jiangshan Group."

Hu Jiangshan didn't want to waste any more time talking, so he said calmly, "Then you should go and ask, and tell me when you're sure. Anyway, this license plate is issued to me."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment. I'll go and confirm it. If there is any problem, I'll come back to you."

Hu Jiangshan didn't say anything.

Li Qi felt a little embarrassed and left.

Hu Jiangshan felt very depressed when encountering such a thing. The number plate was issued to him by them, and not long after he sat down, someone came to cause trouble. It was really bad luck.

But it doesn’t matter. I’ll just make the best of it and continue looking at my phone to kill time.

Zou Luoping and Ren Huixin also heard the conversation between Li Qi and Hu Jiangshan. Ren Huixin said, "He seems to have a seat number plate, so it seems he didn't make a mistake."

Zou Luoping snorted coldly: "Who knows? Maybe the number plate was given to him by mistake, or maybe he took it himself. This situation has happened before. This person is a stranger. There is no way he is qualified to sit here. I am not wrong."

Ren Huixin didn't say anything. She felt that Zou Luoping was in a bad mood today. Could it be that thing? Otherwise, she wouldn't care so much about a stranger.

At this time, Tom Taylor asked: "Zou, what happened? I think I missed something?"

Zou Luoping quickly explained, describing the situation clearly in the simplest British language, and pointed at Hu Jiangshan and said, "Mr. Taylor, that's the man. He's very suspicious. We should stay away from him."

Taylor glanced at Hu Jiangshan and said, "Zou, this is terrible. Is there something wrong with your Chinese security? How could there be such and such security risks? It really affects my mood."

Zou Luoping said quickly, "I'm really not sorry, Mr. Taylor. There's a saying in China that goes, 'There's always room for error.' This is unavoidable. As long as the organizer can resolve it, it'll be fine. And most importantly, your safety should be guaranteed. Don't let people with bad intentions approach you and disturb you."

Taylor nodded. "Very good, Ms. Zou. Your work attitude is very admirable. Perhaps you are overqualified for working in China. You should go to a bigger stage to display your talents."

When Zou Luoping heard this, she was overjoyed. This was exactly the effect she wanted.

If you perform well and gain recognition in front of a big shot like Tom Taylor, you will have the opportunity to work at a headquarters abroad.

This was the opportunity Zou Luoping had always dreamed of, so he worked so hard.

Now hard work really pays off. Mr. Taylor has noticed Zou Luoping's efforts. If he works harder now, he will surely be able to rise to the top and reach Zou Luoping's dream place, the place in his dreams.

"Mr. Taylor, don't worry. We will arrange your entire itinerary properly. We guarantee that you won't have to worry about anything. You just need to focus on your own business."

"Okay, Ms. Zou, I am very satisfied with your work. You really don't look like a Chinese. You are very rigorous and perform perfectly."

"Thanks for the compliment, Mr. Taylor."

Ren Huixin remained calm beside her, but she was actually rolling her eyes inwardly. She felt that Zou Luoping's performance was too explicit, and to be frank, a bit disgusting.

Just then, the staff member named Li Qi came back.

Zou Luoping said to Taylor: "Mr. Taylor, that person will disappear from here in a moment."

Tom Taylor remained noncommittal. To a big boss like him, ordinary people were not worth mentioning and were just small people who could only do hard labor.

In fact, Tom Taylor didn't want to come at all. To him, China's aerospace industry was not worth mentioning at all. It had not been developed at all. It was said that China's technological strength could hardly be compared with that of the Lighthouse Country, let alone a super cutting-edge company like SpaceX.

But this was the task assigned to Taylor by the board of directors, especially since Malak had taken him to a small dark room and talked with him for a long time, telling him that the multinational aerospace development forum had already invited SpaceX, and that if he didn't send some heavyweights, it would seem very rude and disrespectful.

As we all know, Malak has always wanted to expand and strengthen his business in China, not just limited to Tesla entering China.

SpaceX also hopes to open a branch in China and develop aerospace business. After all, China is a huge market with many commercial aerospace companies. It is very important to occupy market share in the next step.

So Taylor had to come to China. It would only take about three or four days, and Taylor could also take the opportunity to spend some time on vacation and relax.

In other words, in Taylor's mind, these leading figures, scholars, experts, and R&D personnel in China's aerospace industry are not worth mentioning at all, and he is not interested in their opinions at all.

Taylor's psychology is the same as Hu Jiangshan's in his previous life.

At this time, Li Qi came to Hu Jiangshan and said very respectfully: "I'm sorry, Mr. Hu, I thought too much. The seat I arranged for you is C105. No problem. I'm sorry to bother you. Sorry."

As he spoke, Li Qi handed the seat number plate back to Hu Jiangshan with both hands.

Hu Jiangshan was not the kind of person who would not let go of others even if he had done something helpful. He waved his hand, said it was okay, and continued looking at his phone.

Zou Luoping on the other side was stunned, his eyes wide open, with a puzzled expression. When he saw Li Qi was about to leave, he quickly called him over.

"What does this mean? Aren't you going to drive him away?"

Li Qi quickly explained in a low voice: "Madam, this is really not possible. This seat is reserved for him."

"Who is he? Why did he give him such a good seat? Isn't this a VIP guest seat? Only the most important people will sit here!"

Li Qi said: "Yes, you are right? He is the boss of Jiangshan Group."

"Jiangshan Group? What kind of company is this? Where is this company from? I've never heard of it!"

"It's a company in Hong Kong Island. I don't know the details."

“Is he also in the aerospace industry?”

"Yes, it is. I don't know the specifics, but the organizer did arrange a seat for him. There is no problem with that."

Li Qi also felt unlucky. Zou Luoping had caused too much trouble and made him very embarrassed. Fortunately, Hu Jiangshan did not pursue the matter, otherwise he would be in big trouble.

Zou Luoping was slapped in the face and was obviously in a bad mood. What the hell was this organizer doing?

A boss of an unknown company was actually arranged here. He must be a relative.

Taylor asked, "What's going on now? What happened?"

Zou Luoping told Taylor what had just happened, and again Taylor didn't take it seriously. He felt that China was in such a mess that all kinds of outrageous things could happen.

In fact, the upper class of the Beacon Country, like Taylor, does generally hold prejudices against China.

It is now 2019, and their bias is more serious than in previous years. This is the so-called information cocoon.

After a moment, Zou Luoping looked back at the door and his expression became serious.

Zou Luoping immediately whispered to Taylor, "Director Jiang from the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology is here."

"Director Jiang?"

Taylor turned his head and saw a woman approaching.

Taylor was not very interested in the Chinese department staff, but he thought that Director Jiang came to say hello to him.

Zou Luoping certainly thought so too, and was thinking about how to introduce the great Tom Taylor in a more glamorous way.

Unexpectedly, Director Jiang stopped in the middle and started chatting with Hu Jiangshan.

Zou Luoping was completely confused, feeling incredible and unbelievable.

Director Jiang Shuhua actually knows Hu Jiangshan. No wonder Hu Jiangshan can sit here. It turns out it’s because of Director Jiang’s relationship!
