Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 420 Interview at Tenglong Island
Wei Jianpeng chuckled and said, "I found out about this, too. It's this company."

Wei Jianpeng operated the phone for a while and pushed it in front of Liang Mengxin.

Liang Mengxin took a look and found that it was a company's graphic and text materials, and even a company introduction video. It was quite professional and cool, with a full sense of science fiction.

The company is called Starry Sky Glory. It is a commercial aerospace company in the mainland. Its main business is the research and development and manufacturing of rockets, satellites and space vehicles.

Liang Mengxin said: "It seems that this company has a cooperative relationship with Jiangshan Company, and it has now entered the implementation stage."

Wei Jianpeng asked: "Mengxin, how is it? Should we follow?"

Liang Mengxin thought for a moment: "The rocket has arrived at Tenglong Island. Is this news accurate?"

"I think it's pretty close, but there was a storm a few days ago, so I don't know what the situation is. Mengxin, we can contact Jiangshan Company now and apply for an interview. They may agree."

Liang Mengxin shook her head: "That's not necessarily true. Jiangshan Company is very cautious about interviews with reporters. I have an idea."

Wei Jianpeng asked curiously: "What's the idea? Tell me about it."

"We can contact the other party."

"…The other party?"

Wei Jianpeng was not stupid. After a little thought, his eyes lit up: "You mean we can contact Starry Sky Glory?"

"Yes, since Starry Glory is a commercial company, it must have publicity needs. They may have publicity plans in the Mainland, but definitely in Hong Kong Island."

Wei Jianpeng felt that what Liang Mengxin said made sense, and he immediately found the contact information of the Starry Sky Glory publicity and promotion department.

The next day, Hong Kong Island, the morning was sunny and cloudless.

Liang Mengxin drove out.

Liang Mengxin will not report to the newspaper office for work today, but will go out on field work.

For media reporters, going out on field trips is a very normal way of working. They may even spend more than half of the month on field trips, and only a small part of the time is spent in the newspaper office writing articles.

This way of working is both the fun aspect of being a journalist, but also very hard.

The reason why Liang Mengxin wanted to become a journalist was because of the relatively free working style.

Liang Mengxin couldn't stand sitting in the office all day long.

There's nothing I can do, this girl is born adventurous.

It was rush hour and the road was a bit congested. Fortunately, the traffic situation was much better when we reached the suburbs.

Liang Mengxin arrived at Huayang Wharf.

As mentioned earlier, there are many docks in Hong Kong Island, and Huayang Wharf is one of them. There are the most commercial tourist ships here, and many Hong Kong Island tour groups go out to sea from here.

Liang Mengxin definitely did not come here to interview the dock. The dock has no news value unless a major accident occurred. She came here to go out to sea.

Yesterday, Liang Mengxin and Wei Jianpeng contacted the publicity and promotion department of Star Glory to inquire whether the news of the Rockets’ arrival in Hong Kong Island was true.

The other party was also very straightforward and gave a positive answer without any intention of hiding anything.

The rocket prototype of Starry Sky Glory has arrived in Hong Kong Island, so Liang Mengxin proposed to conduct an interview.

The other party also readily said that there was no problem and that he could be interviewed. Liang Mengxin then made a further request, which was to go to the site to see the prototype of the Starry Sky Glory rocket.

Liang Mengxin certainly has sufficient reasons. Writing in this way will make the article more convincing, more attractive to readers, and will also have a better publicity effect on Starry Sky Glory.

More importantly, this kind of publicity is free and Starry Sky Glory does not charge a penny.

I originally thought that Starry Sky Glory would be hesitant, but unexpectedly, they agreed very readily and said they would try their best to arrange it.

I have to say that mainland companies are very efficient. They quickly communicated with the space launch site and obtained permission for an interview, so Liang Mengxin and Wei Jianpeng arranged their itinerary and were able to go there today.

The two of them reported to the editor-in-chief again. Unexpectedly, the editor-in-chief was also a talented person and came up with a good idea, so one more person was added to the team that went to the on-site interview this time.

This person's name is Shi Hao, and he is responsible for the live broadcast of content on the online platform in the newspaper.

The platform for live streaming in Hong Kong Island is definitely different from that in the mainland. It is not Doudou or a certain B, but the commonly used one is a certain tube.

Shi Hao was originally a technician in the newspaper. He was a marginal figure with a weak presence. Later, when online media became popular and the "Hong Kong Island Metropolis Daily" also needed to undergo transformation, people like Shi Hao found their place.

It has to be admitted that Shi Hao has good abilities and has played a big role in online content, especially in live streaming. He is experienced and talented.

The account of "Hong Kong Island Metropolis Daily" on a certain channel is operated by Shi Haolai. The number of subscribers has now reached hundreds of thousands, and each live broadcast is very popular, which can be considered a small achievement.

But Shi Hao has a flaw, which is his bad character. Relying on his excellent skills and good online operations, he acts like he makes $2.58 million every day in the newspaper office and looks down on everyone.

Shi Hao was so exaggerated that he could even diss the editor-in-chief, and the editor-in-chief didn't dare to say anything.

There is another reason why Shi Hao is so arrogant, and it is also the most important reason. That is, he is a relative of the major shareholder of the newspaper. He has a very strong backing, so naturally no one dares to mess with him, including the editor-in-chief.

All in all, Shi Hao is indeed a very capable person with some abilities, but he is also extremely arrogant, and it is very stressful to work with him.

Fortunately, Liang Mengxin and Wei Jianpeng are not easy to deal with either.

The two also have a high status in newspapers and the Hong Kong media industry.

In particular, Liang Mengxin is the newspaper's gold medal media person, a top figure in the Hong Kong news circle, and has won several media awards.

Shi Hao does have a backer, but Liang Mengxin is not afraid of him. She is the backbone of the newspaper, the mainstay. Without her, the newspaper's combat effectiveness would be reduced by half.

At this time, Liang Mengxin parked the car in the parking lot of the pier, got out of the car, looked left and right, but did not see her partner Wei Jianpeng.

Liang Mengxin looked at the time. It was not the agreed time yet. There were still ten minutes before the meeting time, so she decided to wait a little longer.

Just then, Liang Mengxin saw Shi Hao.

Shi Hao was wearing a floral shirt and shorts, as if he was going on vacation. He was carrying a media bag that contained special equipment for live broadcasting.

In addition, Shi Hao was not alone, he brought a girl with him.

This is his girlfriend Wu Ayu.

Liang Mengxin frowned. Shi Hao actually brought his girlfriend with him. They were going to work, how could he do this?
Liang Mengxin didn't say anything and chose to ignore it.

If Shi Hao is willing to take the child, then let him take the child. This is not the first time he has done this.

In fact, Shi Hao had pursued Liang Mengxin before.

This is also normal. Liang Mengxin is very beautiful, and has a great temperament and figure. It would be strange if a normal man didn't like her.

But it is not so easy to pursue a professional woman like Liang Mengxin, otherwise she would have been away taking care of her husband and children long ago.

Shi Hao ran into several setbacks in a row and finally gave up. Soon after, he found Wu Ayu.

Wu Ayu has an average appearance, but her strength lies in her figure, which is indeed a very good type.

Shi Hao seemed to like Wu Ayu very much, and he had to take her with him when he went out on field trips. The newspaper's management was not unaware of this, but they just ignored it. There was nothing they could do. Shi Hao saw Liang Mengxin and laughed, "Reporter Liang, you're here early."

Liang Mengxin said calmly: "It's okay, it's not too late for you."

"That's right, we are all very positive and workaholics."

Liang Mengxin didn't comment and was too lazy to talk.

Shi Hao didn't care about anything else. He just talked and laughed with his girlfriend, and even played and joked with her. He was just short of putting his hands on her. He was having a lot of fun. Liang Mengxin was really embarrassed to watch.

Liang Mengxin looked at the time and saw that Wei Jianpeng was late, probably because of a traffic jam.

At this time, Wu Ayu asked, "Which island are we going to? Is it far?"

Shi Hao chuckled: "Not far, not far. I heard it's only half an hour by boat."

"Your newspaper is really interesting. What kind of news can there be on an outlying island? And you sent so many people there. It's too much."

"Hey, we're on a field trip anyway, so it doesn't matter where we go. It's fun to go out to sea, right? Oh, Yu, did you bring your swimsuit?"

"Yes, I brought it. You told me yesterday, so I brought it. And it's the style you like best."

"You are so obedient, Ayu, Muma."

My goodness, these two almost kissed each other. Fortunately, Shi Hao was still aware of his colleagues' opinions. After feeling Liang Mengxin's gaze, he stopped the car abruptly.

At this time, Wei Jianpeng finally arrived, parked the car, and ran over: "I'm sorry, the road was congested, and I was late even though I hurried."

Shi Hao disagreed: "If you knew the road would be congested, you should have come out earlier. You are so irresponsible!"

Wei Jianpeng looked at Shi Hao, then at Wu Ayu, and laughed.

"Shi Hao, you are indeed very responsible. You even have to bring your girlfriend with you to work."

"Oh! That's none of your business. As long as the work is done well, everything else is trivial."

"Okay, okay, okay, we really can't do anything about it, please do as you please."

"It's good to know."

Liang Mengxin said: "Okay, stop arguing, let's go, Uncle Jiang should have been ready a long time ago."

Uncle Jiang is an old captain. He used to go fishing at sea. Later he got a small tourist boat. He usually picks up some scattered groups at Huayang Wharf. His business can only be said to be just okay.

However, Uncle Jiang has a cooperative relationship with the "Hong Kong Island Metropolis Daily".

Whenever the newspaper had an interview mission out at sea, they would generally use Uncle Jiang's boat, so he would make some extra money from time to time and lived a fairly comfortable life.

The four of them carried the camera equipment bags and walked to Uncle Jiang's berth.

The tourist boat was indeed ready. Although it was an old boat and could only accommodate ten people, it was still relatively clean.

Uncle Jiang is a meticulous man, and he had asked two of his men to clean the boat, wiping every corner.

Everyone got on the boat and settled down.

Uncle Jiang waved his hand and directed the men to start the boat, which slowly left the berth at Huayang Wharf and sailed into the sea.

The wind is a bit strong today, and this tourist boat is relatively small. Of course, it is far less comfortable than a luxury yacht, but it is still much more comfortable than a speedboat. Although the boat is not that stable, it is within the tolerable range.

This time when Liang Mengxin and others went out to sea, in order to avoid the problem of no network, they also brought satellite network equipment, so they can connect to the network even at sea, but the speed is not that fast and there is a delay, so it can only be used.

Liang Mengxin looked at Shi Hao and said, "Do you want to take out the equipment first?"

Shi Hao said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, we can still get it when we get there."

“Aren’t you going to warm up the live broadcast room?”

"No need, the fans are very enthusiastic, as long as the show starts, there will definitely be a lot of people coming."

Wu Ayu smiled and said, "Hao, you are really amazing. Are you considered an Internet celebrity now?"

"Of course. With nearly a million followers, I'm considered a big internet celebrity in the Chinese-speaking world."

Wei Jianpeng couldn't help but say, "That's the newspaper's official account, not your personal account."

Shi Hao raised his eyebrows: "Why? Without my operation, how can there be so many subscriptions? Besides, I also have a personal account, and now it is almost 100,000 subscriptions."

To be honest, at that time, a certain Guan had 100,000 fans, which made him a big internet celebrity, which showed that Shi Hao was quite capable.

This is different from the mainland, where big internet celebrities earn at least one million yuan. It is completely on a different level.

"Tsk, it's just a live broadcast, I can do it too."

"You can do it? But I won't let you do it. You don't have the ability!"

Wei Jianpeng was of course not convinced, but he didn't know how to refute.

Liang Mengxin waved her hand: "Okay, stop arguing, let's prepare for the next work, pay attention to the live broadcast time, we will start the live broadcast session as soon as we get ashore."

Shi Hao said, "I see. I mentioned this in our meeting yesterday. I haven't forgotten it. Please trust my professionalism."

Wei Jianpeng showed a disapproving expression.

Shi Hao then said, "What's the situation with that Tenglong Island? I hope it's not a shabby island. The live broadcast won't be effective if it's that way, and we'll be scolded by fans."

Liang Mengxin said: "Don't worry about that. I heard that Tenglong Island is a very large island with a good environment."

Wei Jianpeng also said: "Yes, we launched a rocket there last time and our newspaper sent people there. I heard that the island is very beautiful."

Wu Ayu became interested when she heard this: "A beautiful island? That's great."

Shi Hao said, "Ayu, don't hold your hopes too high. There are no islands with beautiful scenery near Hong Kong Island. They are all in such bad condition. We can go to Southeast Asia in the future. There are many beautiful islands there. After finishing the work today, it's nice to be able to swim."

"Will you swim with me?"

"Of course, I brought my swimsuit too."

Liang Mengxin and Wei Jianpeng looked at each other, both with helpless expressions.

A moment later, Uncle Jiang came over from the cockpit and said, "I see Tenglong Island."

Everyone looked around and was surprised to see that the island was getting closer and closer and was quite large.

Immediately afterwards, the quality of the water near Tenglong Island made everyone on the boat open their mouths in shock.

Even Uncle Jiang was shocked. He had been swimming in the waters of Hong Kong Island for decades, but he never expected there to be such beautiful sea water.
