Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 188 Situation Report (Fifth Update)

"Mr. Ma!"

"The gold has been received!"

"There will be no gold trading for a long time to come!" Li Song said to Ma Shengli after entering the office at the BMW motorcycle factory.

"Okay!" Ma Shengli breathed a sigh of relief.

Twenty tons of gold is no small sum.

Although the transaction was conducted on Hong Kong Island, it was still necessary to prevent any unexpected incidents, as more and more people were keeping an eye on Li Song.

"Furthermore, unless it's an emergency, we can't provide technical or equipment support!" Li Song added.

"We won't bother you unless absolutely necessary, sir!" Ma Shengli guessed that the person behind Li Song was probably going to go quiet.

"In addition, aerospace companies have also come knocking on our door!"

"They want to cooperate with our company to jointly fight against Aramco's aircraft manufacturing company!"

"However, based on our understanding of Dai Ying, these people are just troublemakers. Look at the current conflict hotspots in the world; they are basically the ones who left behind them."

"We are wary of any cooperation with them."

"However, according to our intelligence, Aramco has made a major shift in its policy toward the mainland!"

"So the next period of time will be a good time for our development."

“They want to use us to attract the attention of their northern neighbors,” Li Song added.

Ma Shengli was certainly aware of this; relations between the two sides had been gradually improving ever since Amer's visit to us.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Li. The things you brought this time are excellent and very important to us!" Ma Shengli said.

"That's good!!"

"The development of the mainland will also benefit our development." Li Song nodded, not intending to inquire where the things he sent were actually delivered.

Unexpectedly, Ma Shengli then said, "Two types of fighter jets: the F-15 was assigned to Chengdu, and the F-14 was assigned to the Northeast!"

"The aircraft manufacturers decided by drawing lots."

"In addition, there's the steam catapult and related technology, and several major shipyards have formed a joint research institute!"

"I wonder if Mr. Li still needs the cargo ship?" Ma Shengli gave a brief report.

Since the items were all delivered by Li Song and his group, there was no risk of leaking information by informing Li Song.

"We don't need the cargo ship!"

“However, we may need to establish a shipping company in the future, and hopefully the mainland will be able to produce qualified ships by then!” Li Song did not intend to take that cargo ship, because the engine inside was not an ordinary one.

"Furthermore, the plan for BMW's aircraft manufacturing plant has been approved by higher authorities!"

"Personnel relocation, small-scale demolition, and construction are underway."

"On the one hand, we need to resettle the people affected by the demolition in other places and build them houses!"

"The other thing is that we have to wait for the wheat to ripen!" Ma Shengli added.

Li Song nodded: "Some of the relocated personnel can be accommodated at the aircraft manufacturing plant!"

"Aside from technical personnel, all other ordinary workers can be selected locally!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Shengli said, "I will report this suggestion!"

"Ok!"

"In addition, we have licensed some of the material technologies for manufacturing civil aircraft to some domestic companies for research."

Upon hearing this, Li Song said, "You can check the international patents for many of the technologies we provide, and then apply for patents as soon as possible!"

"Especially large-scale chemical technology and some textile technologies."

"Because some foreign companies don't apply for patents for many of their advanced technologies!"

"I will report to my superiors immediately!" Ma Shengli nodded.

"This includes some core equipment used in the manufacturing of home appliances; you can also check international patents."

"Because many of our technologies come from high-end laboratories!" "So many devices are still in the experimental stage!" Li Song explained a few more things.

"Mr. Ma, I'd like to establish a home appliance research center in Guangzhou to cover patent fees in the home appliance industry!"

"This home appliance research center mainly studies technologies related to home appliances."

"The main focus is on home appliance automation, intelligence, energy saving, and environmental protection."

"We still need Mr. Ma's strong support in this regard, especially in terms of personnel." Li Song is only responsible for providing guidance on the general direction of this research institute.

Li Song naturally knew very well what home appliances would look like in the future.

As long as we don't go astray in terms of direction, and based on the current home appliance technology in mainland China!

Therefore, the home appliance industry will continue to lead in technology.

Modern home appliances are mostly large appliances, but many small appliances will be available in the future.

"I will report this to my superiors!"

“However, there are many authorized manufacturers in the home appliance industry, and the licensing fees are quite high!” Ma Shengli was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Some things can only be done once; doing them too often will easily expose your wrongdoing." Li Song had already prepared his excuse.

The mainland believes that these technologies were obtained from other companies or laboratories.

So saying this is a perfectly respectable excuse.

In fact, Li Song intended to use this money to continue developing the technology.

And their technology has always been at the forefront!
"Okay!" Ma Shengli realized he had misunderstood when he heard Li Song say that.

"In addition, we are also planning to establish a semiconductor laboratory!"

"Of course, we will also establish a semiconductor laboratory on Hong Kong Island!"

"We're preparing to develop embedded chips!" Li Song said again.

After the last chip deal ended, Ma Shengli crammed on semiconductors.

Of course, I know what this embedded chip is.

Ma Shengli really wanted to ask, "Hasn't the person behind you disappeared? Then where did you get the technology?"
But there's no way to ask that question.

All I could say was, "Okay, I'll report this to my superiors!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Ma!" Li Song nodded.

"Automobile production equipment and related technical data!"

"It has already been shipped to Guangzhou!"

"Stored in a secure warehouse!"

"In addition, the supporting equipment needed for automobile production is expected to arrive within three to six months!"

"The factory should be completed by now!"

"As for the aircraft production equipment and aircraft parts, they are temporarily stored in a confidential warehouse!"

"The transportation will proceed according to the construction progress of the Changan BMW aircraft manufacturing plant!"

“Mr. Li can rest assured about this!” Ma Shengli then reported on the equipment that Li Song had brought back.

Because Li Song was only transporting core equipment for aircraft and automobile manufacturing via cargo ships.

Other equipment that can be produced domestically does not need to be customized.

The construction of the car plant is unlikely to be completed before the end of the year.

Because car factories require much more space than ship locomotive factories.

"I wonder what Mr. Li's plans are for the BMW factory?" Ma Shengli asked, referring to BMW's production model.

Should we, like BMW motorcycles, also develop a large number of supporting industrial chains?
