Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 119 If only I had a private jet (First update, please subscribe and vote)
Li Song was preparing to go to Kyoto on a business trip, and the higher authorities also officially decided not to introduce foreign motorcycle technology. In 81, Jialing introduced foreign motorcycle technology.

Foreign exports to mainland China are essentially a way of exploiting us. They don't sell us the most advanced technologies, then use our money to further develop their own technology, thus maintaining a technological advantage.

Ultimately, we used our huge market to support other companies, and these companies have always kept the most advanced technologies in their hands, whether it's motorcycles now, cars later, or semiconductors, etc.

This is true for both the East and the West.

Of course, there is also an important point here: many companies are unwilling to develop too many things because domestic infringement has been rampant for a long time, and there are almost no means to stop infringement.

Many companies spend huge sums of money on technological research and development, only to have their products plagiarized. And doing business in mainland China is not just about being a company; even if someone infringes on your rights, they have a lot of influence locally, so no matter how much you sue, it won't amount to much.

They might even bring you over from elsewhere to mediate...

This is why Li Song wanted to establish a company in Hong Kong Island and use the name of the Hong Kong Island company to invest and authorize others.

Small businesses have always been eyeing the huge mainland market, developing various large-scale chemical equipment and automotive and motorcycle technologies.

Back then, Benzi even secured an oilfield extraction equipment deal based on a poster. The poster's depiction of workers' clothing suggested the oilfield was located in the north, making Benzi's equipment a perfect fit for oilfield extraction.

Japan's mechanical manufacturing and chemical industries were highly developed; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to fight against so many countries single-handedly during World War II.

Moreover, after the war, the US transferred a lot of technical equipment to the Korean Peninsula for military operations, and later spent a lot of effort arming Japan in order to counterbalance the US to the north.

Of course, in the mid-80s, when Amei saw that Fat Bear was about to die, she started to take advantage of him. Although Little Notebook continued to make money off other people, he was eventually taken advantage of by Amei.

Honda has already been in contact with mainland China, but there are many things to discuss regarding technology licensing, such as licensing fees, licensing regions, third-party licensing, and technology derivatives.

Unexpectedly, I suddenly received news that the mainland company was no longer negotiating.

This surprised Honda, who thought that the mainland side was playing hard to get, observing the situation while gathering intelligence to find out who had stolen their business.

When Zhu Ling heard that Li Song wanted her phone number, she said, "Why don't you leave your phone number with the factory when you get to Kyoto? It's not convenient for me to leave my phone number here."

Upon hearing this, Li Song didn't ask any further questions and simply replied, "Okay!"

"I'll leave my phone number when I get to Kyoto tomorrow, remember to call me!"

Zhu Ling said on the other end of the phone, "Yes, I won't forget."

"I have to go now, I have other things to do."

"See you tomorrow, Sister Lin!" Li Song said.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." After hanging up the phone, Zhu Ling was stunned for a moment, wondering why she had called Li Song.

Li Songming is clearly younger than me, but he seems older. During the time we've known each other, he's been very considerate in every way and knows how to speak and act appropriately.

Zhu Ling sighed. The reason she made the call was because things had been terrible lately.

After getting divorced, I went to make movies, but my family didn't support me. After I came back from making the movies, the two of us had a calm talk, and then we got divorced.

In fact, Zhu Ling knew that things would come to this two years ago.

The couple is under immense pressure, as are their families. The husband is also under tremendous pressure; after several years of marriage without children, many people around them are gossiping behind his back, and his family's attitude has changed from being kind at the beginning to now being somewhat sarcastic.

Both families disapproved of my decision to make this film, because my current job is quite good, but I went anyway.

Now Zhu Ling feels that she can't go back to her home, because in this era, divorce is something that people will point fingers at.

My parents are both highly educated, which is a bit better, but what about the people around them?

As for this family now, we're already divorced, so how can I go back?
Company dormitory?

You've gone out to make movies yourself?
She's still living in the dorm, and someone at work has already complained to their superiors, saying things like she's hogging the space without doing anything. Most people would be thick-skinned and say, "So what? I'm still living here." But Zhu Ling isn't that kind of person, because making a scene would be embarrassing; she's a college student, after all.

Zhu Ling called her aunt's office in the afternoon, but the aunt said the boss was in a meeting, so Zhu Ling called Li Song instead.

He made the call but then regretted it, after all, Li Song was nine years younger than him.

Li Song went to Tian Jiahui's office: "Old Tian, ​​my people from my hometown are arriving. Old Ma will coordinate with you. You apply for ID cards for them, and then proceed as I instructed."

Tian Jiahui nodded: "Okay, boss!"

"Also, do you know of any villas that are quiet but have a good view?" Li Song asked again.

"Boss, how about the villas in Clear Water Bay, Sai Kung? They're 500,000 a unit there, with great scenery and a quiet atmosphere."

"Besides, the scenery over there is also very good, and the privacy is excellent." Tian Jiahui had some suspicions about Li Song buying a villa, because Li Song had once said that it was not a good time to buy a house, so there must be something fishy about it now.

"Okay, you can help me take a look later. I'll talk to you when I get back." Li Song nodded, knowing he'd have bodyguards and a car.

“Okay, boss!” Tian Jiahui nodded.

When Li Song returned to his office, he saw Liu Qing there and said, "Ms. Liu?"

"Ah, Mr. Li?" Liu Qing felt like she was invisible. When she heard Li Song call her, she quickly followed him to his office.

"I'd like to visit Kyoto tomorrow. Could you please report this to your superiors, Ms. Liu? I'm also thinking of buying some courtyard houses or something similar," Liu Qing heard Li Song say as they entered Li Song's office.

"Okay, I'll report right away." Liu Qing nodded upon hearing this.

Then Li Song continued writing.

During lunch, Ma Shengli appeared, carrying food, and sat down next to Li Song: "Mr. Li, are you planning to go to Kyoto?"

"Well, in what capacity do you think I should go?" Li Song asked.

"If you're buying property, it's better to do so with a mainland identity, because there are basically no restrictions on transactions."

"Also, there won't be as many procedures. If you go as a foreign businessman, there are more issues related to food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation," Ma Shengli said.

“Then I’ll go with my mainland identity, but will I be able to take a plane?” Li Song asked.

"Of course, a letter of introduction will do." Ma Shengli arrived at this time because a certain department had already found out who had called Li Song, and Ma Shengli naturally knew what Li Song was going there for.

Furthermore, a certain department also discovered that the woman's husband was divorced.

Even if they weren't divorced, Ma Shengli felt he couldn't control them, let alone since they were divorced.

"Thank you then."

"Mr. Li, you're too kind. You can stay at our Science and Technology Commission's guesthouse."

"Section Chief Zhou will pick you up directly at Kyoto Airport tomorrow. Just ask him if you need anything."

"Thank you!"

"Sigh, if only I had a private jet."

"puff……."
