Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 186 Mutual Testing (Third Update)

"Welcome, Mr. John!" When Li Song came downstairs, he saw two people. Mr. John was the representative of the aerospace company. He was a slightly overweight middle-aged man with an excessively high hairline and sparse hair on his head.

A relatively young, black-haired white youth followed behind him.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lee!"

"I didn't expect it would be so difficult to meet Mr. Li," John said after shaking hands with Li Song.
Li Song naturally understood what the other party meant: he was saying that he was not comfortable seeing them!

"I'm quite busy with business, so I don't usually pay much attention to people who aren't important!" Li Song replied with a slight smile.

What I mean is that your space company isn't important to me.

John chuckled upon hearing this: "Your company is indeed a small company compared to our aerospace company."

Li Song chuckled and said, "But I'm the boss."

John's smile vanished instantly upon hearing this.

"Mr. John, this way!" Li Song said again.
"Hong Kong Island only became prosperous after we came here!"

“Just like this building in front of us, it’s full of British style!” John chuckled and said!
"Yes, but its owner is gone." Li Song chuckled.

John's face immediately darkened upon hearing this.

Upon entering the meeting room, John stated directly, "Our aerospace company has noticed that your company has applied for patents for two aircraft models!"

"I wonder if your company has the capability to manufacture aircraft?"

As John spoke, he glanced around the relatively small conference room.

The meaning is obvious: a small company like yours certainly doesn't have the necessary production qualifications.

“Mr. John, I’m sorry, this is our company’s top secret!” Li Song replied with a chuckle.

"Mr. Li, I don't know if you've noticed, but the mainland is currently in contact with McDonnell Douglas!"

"Besides, I think a company as small as yours simply couldn't design such an excellent aircraft!"

“So I’d like to know your company’s next steps, so perhaps we could collaborate,” John said again.

Mr. John!

"Space companies are too far removed from us!"

"Our company has a meticulous plan for aircraft."

"Of course, there may be a possibility of cooperation between us in the future."

“But I don’t see any possibility of cooperation at the moment!” Li Song shook his head and replied.

Upon hearing this, John frowned and said, "Lee, you think your two aircraft designs are excellent!"

"But if I may be so bold, your narrow-body aircraft are not mainstream these days!"

"Wide-body passenger aircraft are the mainstream of the future!"

"Another one is the supersonic passenger plane!"

"Your design is certainly excellent, but its direction is completely different from the mainstream!"

Hearing this, Li Song chuckled inwardly; this was exactly the kind of misconception he wanted.

Supersonic passenger planes are indeed at their peak right now, but just like driving a car, the danger increases significantly for every kilometer the speed increases.

The most important thing for commercial airliners is safety, not speed.

"I think we will be able to design wide-body passenger aircraft in the future!"

"Let's take it one step at a time, slowly!"

"Of course, we both belong to Dai Ying's company, and we'll have more opportunities to cooperate in the future!" Li Song chuckled again.

John was surprised to find that Li Song, despite his young age, was actually a cunning old fox; after all that talk, he hadn't gotten any information out of him.

Li Song certainly wouldn't reveal to the other party that he had already begun producing aircraft. He believed that even the aerospace company wouldn't be able to know the progress of the mainland aircraft company.

John had to lay it all out: "Mr. Li, I'm afraid you haven't realized this yet, but we are not enemies!"

"If you want to produce airplanes, your biggest enemy is Boeing."

"That's why our space company sent me here. Otherwise, our space company wouldn't have any interest in your tiny company at all!"

Li Song chuckled and said, "I'm very pleased that the aerospace company has this idea."

"But there are some things I can't control!"

"So all I can do is convey the aerospace company's goodwill."

"However, I think if the aerospace company has genuine goodwill, it would be better to transfer some technology to us."

"That way we can surpass Boeing."

John almost cursed when he heard Li Song's words.

So after all this time, you're still eyeing our aerospace company's technology? That's impossible.

I came to find out your secrets, but you found out about me instead!

“Since Mr. Li can’t make the decision, let’s talk about it later.” John didn’t want to talk to Li Song anymore.

In fact, John had long anticipated that Li Song was merely a front man put forward by certain people.

Otherwise, how could a teenager become the boss of such a company?

Moreover, this company owns two aircraft and all its patents, including those for engines.

Looking at the whole world, even these European countries have not been able to independently develop the entire technology of aircraft.

Only two countries in the entire world have been able to fully develop civil aviation passenger aircraft technology.

One is the vast red empire, and the other is America.

Therefore, these two aircraft were likely developed by the mainland using all its research and development capabilities.

But John was not optimistic, because this type of narrow-body passenger plane was already outdated.

But regardless, the other side is now capable of designing such aircraft.

I just don't know how good the manufacturing technology is in mainland China.

However, judging from the contacts between the mainland and McDonnell Douglas, the mainland's intention in designing this aircraft was likely to increase its bargaining power in negotiations with McDonnell Douglas!

As for manufacturing capabilities, mainland China probably doesn't have them!

Unless the mainland receives support from its northern neighbors, which is clearly impossible.

Because their relationship is now at its worst.

"Please convey to Mr. John that we are very willing to purchase the relevant technology from the aerospace company!" Li Song stood up and said.

"I'm sorry, our aerospace company's technology is too advanced to be exported to your company!" John felt a little annoyed. You're trying to take advantage of our company.

“Mr. John, you’re mistaken. We’re also a company from Hong Kong Island!” Li Song chuckled.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Li. We'll see you again sometime." John was already eager to leave.

Then Li Song escorted John downstairs.

"Boss?" Tian Jiahui approached after John left.

"Never mind them, they'll come back eventually," Li Song chuckled.

"Boss, this is the progress report on Jiahao's side," Tian Jiahui said again.

"Could you come with me to look at a few houses today?" Li Song asked.

"Of course, no problem, I'll call right now!" Tian Jiahui nodded immediately.
