Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 187 Betrayal (Fourth Update)

John, the representative of the aerospace company, went to the governor's mansion after leaving Li Song's company.

The governor had been waiting for news there for a while. John came to the governor's study and irritably cursed, "Shit, this guy named Lee is very difficult to deal with. He's so young and he doesn't give a single word!"

Upon hearing this, the governor handed him a glass of wine and chuckled, "To be such a young man and yet become a boss!"

"Being able to become a spokesperson must be due to training."

"Of course, it's also possible that he's just a puppet who knows nothing."

John took a sip of his drink and nodded: "That should be the case. How could their company, with so few people, possibly have such a large number of patents!"

"But right now, America's relationship with the mainland is rather ambiguous, mainly because the fat bear country in the north is too huge!"

The governor, holding a wine glass, sat down on the sofa and said, "Actually, I have a better idea!"

"Why don't we inform Aramco about this? I think Boeing or McDonnell Douglas would be very interested in this news!"

John looked at him with surprise: "Are you sure this won't fall into their trap?"

"Didn't they design such an excellent aircraft to increase their bargaining power in their dealings with McDonnell Douglas?"

The governor found John's words quite reasonable: "What you said is not impossible."

"But I think it would be more useful to just let them know!"

"I think McDonnell Douglas and Boeing would definitely not want to add another commercial airliner manufacturer!"

"Then they will inevitably take action!"

"What if all of this is a conspiracy by the mainland!"

"Then they'll definitely make exorbitant demands during the negotiations!"

"Maybe we'll have a chance, and they'll find out sooner or later!"

"However, this method from the mainland has indeed hit our weak point!"

"Although the company is nominally headquartered in Hong Kong Island, we know perfectly well that their technical staff and production will definitely be located in the mainland!"

“Even if we impose sanctions on this company, it will be of no use!”

"Look how many people are in their company?"

"But mainland China has also applied for global patents through this company!"

"Furthermore, we will obtain flight permits and airworthiness certificates through this company in the future!"

Do you think we have any way to prevent them from obtaining flight permits and airworthiness certificates?

John chuckled upon hearing this: "You overestimate their manufacturing capabilities."

"If they really had such excellent manufacturing capabilities, there would be no need for them to contact McDonnell Douglas!"

"According to the information we have received, even those in mainland China don't know what standardized manufacturing is!"

"How could they possibly build such an excellent commercial airliner!"

"And they also lack large-scale forging equipment!"

"And the core materials of the engine."

"Just last year, they also imported some core engine components."

"But they'll never catch up with us!"

"We will be updating the emission standards for aircraft very soon!"

"By then, the engine they developed at great expense will have no market whatsoever."

“We keep updating the standards, making their research efforts futile time and time again.”

"We can stop updating the standards when they stop doing their own research!"

"Unless they are willing to establish a new order like the Fat Bear Kingdom!"

"Obviously, that's impossible. We can't allow a second Fat Bear Country to emerge!"

The governor nodded upon hearing this: "But we can inform America's aircraft manufacturing company in advance; they'll find out anyway!"

John took a sip of his drink and swirled the glass. "Your argument is valid. Since they've rejected our offer, let them deal with Ami's company!"

The governor also raised his glass and took a sip of wine: "Yes!"

"We can just watch from the sidelines!" "Actually, I think it would be even better if they could build such an aircraft!"

Meanwhile, Li Song, guided by a real estate agent and Tian Jiahui, was looking at houses everywhere.

They were looking at apartments because Li Song already owned a villa.

Living alone in a villa feels too big.

Ultimately, they chose the London Pavilion in the Commonwealth Gardens on the western hillside.

From here, you can enjoy a commanding view of Victoria Harbour.

They booked the entire top floor directly.

The London Pavilion is at the far west end, and it's much better than the units in the middle.

It's better than the unit at the far east.

"I'll take the whole floor." After inspecting the property, Li Song decided to buy the entire floor.

Because Li Song also needs to consider the security personnel for the next phase.

I will definitely increase my security personnel in the future.

Furthermore, security personnel must work in shifts.

Four security personnel are far from enough; we work three shifts a day, with four security personnel per shift!
This is a group of twelve people, and they also take turns resting every few days.

Therefore, Li Song felt that he would probably have as many as twenty security personnel.

Moreover, the location here means you shouldn't lose money if you buy it.

"Old Tian, ​​can you help me with the paperwork?"

"Also, we need to replace the furniture inside!"

"I live in this unit on the far west side, the one with simpler furnishings!"

"In addition, we converted the two apartments near the elevator exit into dormitories."

"From now on, each security guard will have a separate room," Li Song instructed Tian Jiahui directly.

“Okay!” Tian Jiahui nodded.

"Then get as many parking spaces as possible!"

Li Song bought the top floor for another reason: if he encounters danger in the future, he can take a helicopter to escape from Loudi.

Of course, such a possibility is extremely slim.

"Okay, boss!" Tian Jiahui was a little confused as to why his boss would choose to buy this kind of thing instead of a villa.

If it were me, I would buy a villa and hire a few young maids.

On Tuesday evening, Li Song rented a truck, hired a driver, and drove the truck to a parking lot.

On Wednesday morning, Li Song arrived at this parking lot.

The twenty tons of gold were successfully delivered.

This time, the other side sent six people.

After loading the gold into the car, Li Song quickly sold it on a second-hand platform.

Then they called a driver and drove the truck around for a while.

"This might be the last time I get gold!" Li Song thought to himself in the truck, feeling like someone was following him.

"But these people probably don't know what they're transporting in their trucks!"

"The delivery people from the mainland are different every time they come to deliver goods!"

"These funds are more than enough for my own use."

"Also, don't go out alone in the future."

"There are plenty of people on Hong Kong Island who want to get rich!" Li Song secretly warned himself.

Then Li Song returned to Guangzhou accompanied by two bodyguards.

What Li Song didn't know was that the aerospace company casually sold itself to Boeing and McDonnell Douglas.
