Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 453: Lighthouse Country is very interested in the Tenglong Island Launch Site
Ella came over, greeted Rolika, exchanged a few words, and then sat down.

Kelly suddenly realized what was going on when he heard that Ella was collecting information for Myne Technology.

It seems that since Myen Technology is unwilling to reveal any information, we can start with the middleman and we will always be able to find out something.

It must be that Luo Lika has the ability and connections, no wonder Space X trusts her so much.

Kelly called the waiter and ordered a cup of coffee for Ella.

Several people started chatting.

Luo Lika said, "Ella, I heard you are working on the case with Myne Technology, right?"

Ella smiled: "Yes, you are still so well-informed."

"I have a few questions."

Ella waved her hands quickly: "Luo Lika, you know, we have to keep the privacy of our clients and can't disclose it casually."

Luo Lika smiled: "Of course I know this. I won't ask those sensitive questions, and if it involves secrets that cannot be told, you can refuse to answer."

Ella took a sip of coffee: "Okay, you're right."

Luo Lika said, "Ella, Myne Technology plans to postpone the signing plan with our SpaceX. You should know this, right?"

Ella nodded: "Of course I know."

"Well, we want to know why."

Ella was stunned: "Didn't Myne's people tell you?"

Stephen said: "No, these Middle Eastern people are very tight-lipped and don't say anything!"

At this point, Stephen was also called "Wang Defa", and was obviously annoyed by the arrogant attitude of Mayne Technology.

In the past, Space X always gave his negotiating opponents a hard time, but this time it was the other way around, and Space X hit some big snags.

Ella shook her head. "I'm sorry, but I can't tell you. This is our business practice. I have to keep it secret for my clients."

Luo Lika and Kelly looked at each other and felt that it was indeed a difficult situation.

Luo Lika said again: "Okay, let's talk about something else, Ella, what are your plans next?"

"……journey?"

"Yes, I want to know where you are going. I can always tell you, right?"

Stephen said, "Yes, this is not the client's secret. You are not an agent. You can't keep your whereabouts a secret, right?"

Ella smiled: "That's right, I can say that, my next stop is going to Hong Kong Island on a business trip."

"...Hong Kong Island?"

The other three looked at each other.

I didn't expect it to be Hong Kong Island. What is there in Hong Kong Island? Are there any companies related to aerospace technology?
Shouldn't we go to mainland China?

Stephen asked anxiously, "Are you going with the people from Myne Technology?"

Ella smiled but didn't say anything, just shook her head, obviously this question couldn't be answered.

I have to admire Ella Wood's professionalism and professionalism. If it were an ordinary person, even if he could not answer the key information, he could at least reveal a few words. But Ella refused to say a word, and others could not say anything wrong with her. This is indeed the rule of the information consulting company.

Luo Lika suddenly thought of something and said to Stephen, "By the way, Stephen, do you remember someone said a while ago that there was a space launch site in Hong Kong Island?"

Stephen was stunned for a moment, frowned, tried to recall, and said, "It seems to be true."

The two observed Ella's reaction again and found that her expression was indeed frozen.

It seems that what Luo Lica said was right. The place where Ella was going on a business trip was the so-called space launch site in Hong Kong Island.

Stephen said: "If it is a space launch site, is it capable of modifying the functions of satellites? This is too fantastic!"

Luo Lika glanced at Ella and said, "Don't think too simply. The other party must have done a detailed assessment."

Ella coughed lightly, still not daring to reveal the news.

But now it has been confirmed that the people of Myen Technology have turned their attention to the East, not to mainland China, but to Hong Kong Island.

As long as this is confirmed, the rest will be easy.

Ella chatted with a few people for a while, looked at the time, and said, "Okay, I have to go. I have a meeting soon."

Luo Lika asked: "Are you going to have a meeting with Myne's people?"

Ella nodded. There was no need to hide this.

After Ella left, the three began to plan again.

Although SpaceX does not lack this cooperation order, it is indeed unusual that the other party actively delays the signing of the contract. A potential competitor may be involved behind this.

It doesn’t matter whether SpaceX can make money from this. What’s important is to find out which company is behind this.

More importantly, the opponent may be a Chinese company, which is serious.

Stephen said: "As long as we know that the company is in Hong Kong Island, we can find it."

Luo Lika fell into deep thought: "I don't know if it's a coincidence, Stephen, you should know that our company is also building a space launch site in Hong Kong Island."

Stephen immediately said, "Yes, I was just thinking about that. Could it be that the person that Myen Technology contacted is someone from our company in Hong Kong Island?"

"How is that possible? If that were the case, wouldn't the headquarters be unaware of it?"

"That's true. Shouldn't we go to Hong Kong Island and get to the bottom of this matter?"

Luo Lika said, "Don't worry, let someone investigate the background of that company first."

"Who's going?"

The two of them looked at Kelly at the same time.

Kelly is the business representative of the Beacon Country and has an official background, so it seems more appropriate for him to do this in an official manner.

Even if it is not convenient to do it in an official capacity, those intelligence specialists can be used.

In movies and TV dramas, the intelligence officers of the Beacon Country are omnipotent, so it should be easy for them to investigate a company.

Kelly nodded. "I understand. I will contact the foreign personnel in Hong Kong Island and ask them to check the details of the space launch site."

Stephen laughed and said, "Maybe it was a mistake. The other party has no skills and no ability. When Mayne's people realize their mistake, they will come to us again. Then we can make them pay. We must not treat them well!"

Luo Lika asked Stephen not to jump to conclusions.

Luo Lika also didn't think that a space company with advanced technology could emerge in Hong Kong, China, but she should still be prepared for the worst.

Luo Lika said, "By the way, we still need to report this matter to the headquarters. I will go back and write an email."

Stephen was noncommittal.

The next day, Hong Kong Island, Consulate of the Beacon Country in Hong Kong Island.

This consulate is located in a bustling area of ​​Hong Kong Island and has a long history. It is said to be hundreds of years old, so from the outside, the architectural style feels very historical.

Those in the know know that the consulate of the Lighthouse Country is very large, and there are many areas that even the consulate’s official employees cannot enter.

At this time, two people were discussing something in a conference room of the consulate.

One was named Morik and the other was named Howard.

Both men are employees of the consulate and their duties are as trade attachés.

Normally they were very idle, but when they were really busy, they were very busy. Today they were obviously busy, so they had a meeting while drinking coffee.

Howard looked at a document at hand and said, "There is a space launch site on Hong Kong Island? No way."

Morik said helplessly, "Howard, what do you usually watch? Don't you know that Hong Kong Island launched a rocket some time ago?"

"…Ah? Hong Kong Island launched a rocket? When? Where?"

Howard was stunned, obviously he really didn't know.

Mollick said, "There is indeed a space launch site on a nearby offshore island. We need to investigate the background of this launch site."

Howard said, "Oh!" "Well, this is too easy. Why should we do this?"

"It is said that an order from SpaceX was cancelled by the space launch site here."

"Oh, this is really unexpected. There are people who don't believe in Space X."

"We need to determine whether there is an official background to the spaceport on Hong Kong Island," Mollick said.

"Official background? Official background of China?"

Morik smiled. “Of course it’s the Chinese government. Do you think Hong Kong Island has the ability to build a space launch site?”

Howard took a sip of coffee and showed a disapproving expression: "That's true. In Hong Kong Island, apart from real estate and finance, there is no scientific and technological brain."

Morik glanced at Howard and said, "People from the Hong Kong government will be here soon. Watch your attitude and don't be too rude."

"Okay, okay, I'll try to be a gentleman."

After a moment, someone came over.

They were two women, both employees of the Hong Kong government's commercial department. The leader was named Wang Shiman, who had a good temperament and looked both capable and gentle.

When Wang Shiman arrived at the consulate of the Lighthouse Country, she was completely confused. Why did the trade commissioner of the Lighthouse Country suddenly request a meeting? They had just had a meeting last week and should have discussed everything.

And what’s strange is that the other party asked to meet at the consulate of the beacon country, not the Hong Kong government.

The other party's abnormal behavior makes people think more.

Wang Shiman often deals with Westerners and knows them very well. Such behavior means that the other party is likely to have nothing good to say.

Wang Shiman calmed down when she saw that it was Morik and Howard waiting for them in the conference room.

We are all acquaintances, so I guess we won't talk too much.

After exchanging greetings, everyone sat down and started talking about business.

Wang Shiman asked: "What do you two want us to do?"

As she spoke, Wang Shiman looked towards Morik.

Of the two opponents, Morik is more reliable than Howard.

Howard didn't have a very good reputation. He often went to nightclubs, clubs and other entertainment venues, and even got into a lot of trouble, such as fighting, quarrels, and even had unclear relationships with several women.

In other words, Howard spends his days in debauchery and is not a serious person.

At this point, Morik replied, "Dear King, we need to know about a company."

Wang Shiman asked, "Company? Which company?"

“We didn’t know the name of the company, we just knew it was a spaceport.”

Wang Shiman was stunned: "Space launch site? Are you talking about the space launch site invested by SpaceX?"

Howard waved his hand and said, "It's not Space X, it's the one from Hong Kong Island. Didn't they launch a rocket a while ago?"

Wang Shiman suddenly realized: "I see, you are talking about the Tenglong Island Space Launch Site."

Howard said, "Tenlong Island? Oh, what a great name."

Morik nodded. “Yes, that is the spaceport.”

Wang Shiman said: "Okay, what do you two want to know?"

“We want to know the context of that spaceport,” Mollick said.

"background?"

Wang Shiman sorted out her thoughts and asked, "May I ask why you want to know this?"

Wang Shiman was still very cautious in her actions. The behavior of these two people was too abnormal and suspicious, and she had to find out what they were going to do.

Of course, Wang Shiman felt that they might not tell the truth.

Ordinary people in Lighthouse Country are still quite honest, but the two people in front of us are obviously not. They are very cunning and eight out of ten of their words are not trustworthy.

Morik smiled. “To be honest, this is part of our job. As for why, we don’t know. Maybe we’re just curious and want to learn about Hong Kong Island’s high-tech industry.”

Howard said: "Yes, it's amazing that there is a space launch site in Hong Kong Island. Maybe we have the opportunity to cooperate with each other."

Wang Shiman hesitated for a moment and said, "The Tenglong Island Space Launch Site is the property of the Hu family. Currently, Tenglong Island and the surrounding waters are restricted areas. This is public information and you can check it out."

Morik looked at the information at hand and said, “Yes, the Hu family’s assets are owned by Hu Jiangshan, right?”

Wang Shiman said: "That's right."

"But according to the information we found, Hu Jiangshan does not have the ability to run such a large industry. He has a bad reputation and was even unemployed last year, right?"

Wang Shiman coughed lightly and said, "What you found is correct, but the problem is that he is indeed the one operating the Tenglong Island Space Launch Center now."

Molik said, “We want to know who is behind Hu Jiangshan?”

"what?"

"Who is helping him?"

Wang Shiman said: "As far as I know, there is indeed no such thing. Hu Jiangshan is running it himself."

Howard said: "Wasn't it the Chinese government who did it?"

Wang Shiman smiled: "No, it has nothing to do with the Chinese government. Things are not as complicated as you think."

Morik and Howard looked at each other, obviously not believing what Wang Shiman said.

Either Wang Shiman did not tell the truth, or Wang Shiman did not understand the inside story.

Generally speaking, the latter is more likely.

If there really is some secret behind this, someone at Wang Shiman's level might not be able to access it at all.

Morik said, “Well, in that case, can we go visit this Tenglong Island launch site?”

"…visit? We want to go to the island?"

"Yes, since this space launch site is a normal commercial facility, you shouldn't mind visiting it, right?"

Wang Shiman thought for a moment and said, "Tenglong Island Space Launch Center is a private company. Whether it accepts visits depends on the boss's opinion. We can only help you make the contact."

"Okay, then help us contact the boss. We want to visit the island soon."

"Recently? Is it so urgent?"

"Yes, I hope it can meet our needs."

What could Wang Shiman say? She could only agree to it and ask her superiors for instructions on how to handle the matter.
