Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 374 Taylor's Forbearance and Rage
After Hu Jiangshan finished speaking, he returned the microphone to the host and walked back to his seat.

Most people looked at each other and suddenly felt something was strange.

Especially those media people, although they don’t understand aerospace technology, they don’t understand anything about what Hu Jiangshan, Tom Taylor, Zhao Ruijing and others said, it’s like they are listening to a foreign language.

These senior media professionals are very capable and are very good at observing other people's reactions.

Judging from the reactions of most people on the scene, especially those in the industry, Hu Jiangshan definitely has something, at least he has stunned most people.

“This person really understands.”

"It feels quite impressive. He must have prepared in advance."

"Need I say that? He must have prepared in advance, and maybe he had colluded with the organizers long ago."

"Collusion? What's the purpose? Do you want him to be in the limelight here?"

"That's for sure. Maybe someone wants to promote this Hu. This is very possible. This kind of thing is not uncommon."

"That makes sense. This kind of operation exists in any industry. But isn't this the same as stepping on Tom Taylor, and stepping on him quite hard? Is this appropriate? The price is a bit high!"

"Well, what's the big deal? No matter how great Tom Taylor is, he's still a foreigner. After all, he's not in the mainland's aerospace industry. If he's stepped on, it doesn't matter. It won't have much of an impact."

"That's right. Besides, foreigners may not understand these things. They may think this is really an academic exchange and think we have some great people here."

"Alas, foreigners don't understand the tricks we have here."

In fact, these media reporters simply cannot understand foreigners and do not understand their psychology at all.

Especially the upper class of the Lighthouse Country, they are very conceited and sensitive, and cannot tolerate anything that challenges their authority.

If necessary, they can even make that ignorant guy disappear from this world completely within their power.

Hu Jiangshan is so young, a young man who hasn't even grown all his hair in Taylor's eyes, but he dared to question the ability of SpaceX and openly refute what Taylor said. Taylor was so angry just thinking about it.

But Taylor still had some basic self-control. He squeezed the mineral water bottle in his hand and almost squeezed the water out, but he finally endured it.

This is not your home ground, you can't just go crazy here.

Zou Luoping's face was not very good either. He just wanted to embarrass Hu Jiangshan, but he didn't want him to show off here. Wouldn't that be like making wedding dresses for others? Moreover, it made Mr. Taylor very embarrassed, which had a counterproductive effect.

This cannot be blamed on Zou Luoping's incompetence. Who could have thought that he would hit a wall.

Hu Jiangshan is more knowledgeable than expected. How much does this guy have in his head? Or did he prepare in advance? Did he come up with a lot of professional terms and terminology in advance and then show off?
Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen. How could Hu Jiangshan have predicted that the host would ask him such a question? This guy is not Nezha with three heads and six arms, nor is he Sun Xingzhe who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

Of course, Zou Luoping could only curse in her heart. She had no other options. She had to appear calm on the surface. She couldn't take the blame, and she couldn't let others know that she had greeted the host in this way.

Keep a low profile, next step is to keep a low profile.

The expressions of Zhao Ruijing and Fan Zhongze obviously relaxed.

Zhao Ruijing was attacked for no reason by some people just now because he questioned Taylor's words. Although he didn't care what others said, hearing these sour words did affect his mood and he didn't feel happy.

Fan Zhongze was even more youthful and energetic, he wanted to stand up and give them a few electric cannons, but unfortunately he couldn't do that in this situation, so he could only endure it for the time being.

Originally, Fan Zhongze wanted to speak up and express his own views, attack the loopholes in Taylor's words and get back at the point, but was stopped by Zhao Ruijing in a low voice.

Fan Zhongze is the backbone of the National Space Administration. If he speaks carelessly, his work may be affected, which is not wise.

Originally, Fan Zhongze thought that this was the only way and he had to suffer in silence.

Unexpectedly, Hu Jiangshan actually stood up and spoke very sharply, which was equivalent to giving Tom Taylor a heavy punch, making Fan Zhongze exclaim that it was very satisfying.

The key is that Hu Jiangshan has solid reasons and evidence, and his rebuttal is quite concise from theory to application.

To be honest, Zhao Ruijing certainly knew that what Hu Jiangshan said was the truth, but he could not express it as completely as Hu Jiangshan.

Given Zhao Ruijing's status, it is not appropriate to speak so bluntly.

But Hu Jiangshan had no such concerns, so this effect occurred.

Fan Zhongze whispered, "Professor Zhao, Boss Hu is quite amazing. How come he knows all this?"

Zhao Ruijing smiled and shook his head: "I don't know why he knows all this, but it's better for him to know than not to know. He is our partner, the more capable he is, the better."

"You're right, Professor Zhao has a very good eye."

Zhao Ruijing smiled but said nothing.

When Zhao Ruijing met Hu Jiangshan for the first time, he concluded that Boss Hu was no ordinary person and would definitely achieve great success.

When Hu Jiangshan was applying for various procedures for the space launch site, Zhao Ruijing spoke for him many times, striving to get the green light from the National Space Administration and the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Some people in the unit were very confused and privately thought that Zhao Ruijing and Hu Jiangshan might have some relationship, or that they were abusing their power for personal gain. However, those who were interested could not find any evidence after investigating for a long time.

Zhao Ruijing didn't know Hu Jiangshan at all before.

The conspiracy deal had nothing to do with Zhao Ruijing.

It can now be proved that Zhao Ruijing's persistence at that time was absolutely insightful, like a good horse breeder meeting a good steed.

Now Hu Jiangshan has played a role, demonstrated his value, and helped Zhao Ruijing vent his anger, which made him feel much better. Hu Jiangshan is also returning the favor in an invisible way.

The host was not afraid of making a fuss, and asked Taylor: "Mr. Taylor, do you agree with what Mr. Hu said? Or do you want to add a few more words?"

Taylor said: "I can only say that Mr. Hu still underestimates SpaceX. Our technicians and researchers are very outstanding and are working day and night to overcome difficulties. As for the new material for the inner wall of the combustion chamber he mentioned, we are also doing various experiments and should have results soon."

These words are no different from what Taylor just said.

The host asked: "Does that mean that results can really be achieved in five to eight months? Then we will have to wait and see."

"Of course, you can look forward to our great achievements. I can promise that you won't have to wait too long."

"Mr. Taylor, I have another question. I heard that SpaceX will start business in mainland China. I wonder when the official announcement will be made. Mr. Taylor, can you reveal some news?"

Taylor shrugged and looked at another seat, where all the organizers of the Aerospace Development Forum were sitting, including Jiang Shuhua from the Science Department. "It depends on when your leaders can let us in. We are ready now. The ball is on your side. I also hope you can be more decisive."

Jiang Shuhua and others felt somewhat uncomfortable when they heard Taylor's words.

This foreigner speaks very rudely.

The host nodded: "I see. I wish Space X all the best, Mr. Taylor."

Taylor nodded without saying anything, and glanced at Hu Jiangshan intentionally or unintentionally.

Hu Jiangshan knew Tom Taylor very well. Although he looked very gentle, he was actually quite vindictive.

If someone annoys Taylor and makes him unhappy, he will definitely find a way to retaliate and get back at him.

In his previous life, Hu Jiangshan had clashed with Taylor many times and was harassed by Taylor on many occasions.

Fortunately, Hu Jiangshan would win most of the time, or at least he would avoid losing. Taylor, on the other hand, would be in a very awkward position. Sometimes, when he couldn't win the debate with Hu Jiangshan, he would deliberately throw a tantrum and become hysterical.

To be honest, Europeans and Americans, especially lighthouse workers, are not afraid of losing face in public and have no psychological burden in this regard.

If necessary, they will definitely show their fangs and claws, and curse loudly, in order to suppress and defeat their opponents. As for what means they use, that is not important. This is why Chinese people often misjudge the people of Lighthouse.

But the current situation is a little special. Hu Jiangshan is not as famous as he was in his previous life, at least he is not a famous scientist.

Taylor didn't know Hu Jiangshan's background, he only knew that he had a space launch site in Hong Kong Island. There was too little information, so Taylor wanted to fight back, wanted to save face, and get back his place, but he felt he had no idea where to start.

This is what frustrates Taylor.

After making these remarks, many people looked at Hu Jiangshan with admiration. It turned out that he did not sit in the VIP guest seat relying on connections, but had something in his head.

Of course, as mentioned earlier, some people still think that Hu Jiangshan must have been prepared in advance, which is why he could talk so freely here and criticize everything.

But then again, even if an ordinary person is prepared in advance, it is still impossible for him to refute a top boss like Tom Taylor in public so easily, unless he is extremely lucky.

Moreover, many people may think that Taylor did not fight back because he was graceful and did not want to argue with Hu Jiangshan, a young Chinese man.

After a while, the morning meeting ended and we needed to have lunch and rest at noon. According to the organizer's arrangement, the afternoon forum meeting would start at three o'clock in the afternoon.

During this time, Hu Jiangshan planned to have a meal outside the hotel, take a short walk and then return to the hotel to rest.

When Hu Jiangshan got up and walked out, he happened to walk behind Fang Xiaoya. Looking at her slim figure, Hu Jiangshan was a little dazed for a moment, as if he had returned to his previous life. The memories that were about to be forgotten attacked his brain frantically, and he was even about to have hallucinations.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Fang Xiaoya actually turned around.

Fang Xiaoya looked at Hu Jiangshan and said, "Boss Hu, what you said just now was very good and professional. You are quite knowledgeable in this area. Did you study aerospace engineering in college? Or did you major in aerospace engines?"

Hu Jiangshan was stunned at first, coughed lightly, then took two steps forward and walked side by side with Fang Xiaoya.

Fang Xiaoya’s question is difficult to answer, as it is impossible for Hu Jiangshan to have studied these majors.

If Hu Jiangshan was an ordinary person, he would not be able to go to college at all. Fortunately, he was born into a wealthy family. As long as Hu Jiangshan wanted to go to college, there would always be a way. After all, even many famous foreign universities can send children to school through donations.

Of course, Hu Jiangshan studied at a fake university abroad, and his major was philosophy. This major was arranged for people like Hu Jiangshan, so he graduated successfully and got a diploma, but that was all, he didn't learn anything.

So, how should Hu Jiangshan answer Fang Xiaoya? He can only explain it in four words - self-taught.

After Hu Jiangshan's explanation, Fang Xiaoya would of course be very surprised.

This means that Hu Jiangshan considers himself a genius, and a super genius at that.

As mentioned before, Fang Xiaoya was originally known as a "genius girl", but she believed that if she had not studied this major in college, it would be impossible for her to know so much knowledge. It was actually outrageous and incredible that Hu Jiangshan could reach this level through self-study.

At this time, the two had already left the venue. Hu Jiangshan further explained: "Engineer Fang, although I just spoke very well, I was actually very nervous. The main reason was that I made some preparations and read more information about aerospace, especially the information about the Beast engine. It was a coincidence that Mr. Taylor mentioned the Beast engine, so I took the opportunity to show off my skills. I didn't expect that I would be right. To be honest, I am a little embarrassed."

Fang Xiaoya raised her eyebrows: "Is that really the case?"

“That’s really it.”

"Oh, then Boss Hu is really lucky. He has great luck."

In fact, Hu Jiangshan also knew that Fang Xiaoya was not so easy to fool. There were too many loopholes in what Hu Jiangshan said, and it was not the first time she had communicated with Hu Jiangshan.

But Hu Jiangshan also knew that Fang Xiaoya would not dwell on things other than work. He had just asked casually and would not take it to heart.

Just then, someone came rushing forward. It was Tom Taylor.

Zou Luoping and Wang Xinhui hurried over, worried that Taylor would beat Hu Jiangshan in a fit of anger.

Taylor asked Hu Jiangshan: "Boss Hu, where do you work?"

Hu Jiangshan replied: "In Hong Kong Island."

"Oh, I heard you built a space launch site? Can I go and have a look when I have time?"

"Are you interested in this?"

"Yes."

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "Sure. Please apply to our company first. We will consider letting you go and see him."

After saying that, Hu Jiangshan and Fang Xiaoya left.

Taylor was stunned. He didn't expect Hu Jiangshan to have this attitude.

He is Tom Taylor, a space expert from the Lighthouse Country and the chief technology officer of SpaceX. Isn't it an honor for the other party that he is willing to visit Hu Jiangshan's so-called space launch site?

You even have to submit an application!

By the way, Hu Jiangshan never said how to submit the application.

Damn this guy! He is so cunning! He must be hiding something!
