Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 190 Refusal, No Association with Politicians (Second Update)

"No, no, this company has nothing to do with us, absolutely nothing!" the president of the aerospace company replied dejectedly.

"Tom, I didn't expect you to still be using your aristocratic ways. But I don't trust you. Even if you gave the mainland the blueprints for your most advanced aircraft technology, they still wouldn't be able to manufacture them."

“I have a lot of their stuff here, their new projects, and you know how many problems they have?”

"There are too many problems. Materials have to be imported, the airframe is not strong enough, and the landing gear has not enough lifespan."

"Do you know what this means? It means that even if these planes are operated, the cost will be ten times that of ours, and there is a possibility of a major accident."

"And can you believe it or not, they don't use standardization in manufacturing airplanes, and the tolerances of the rivets on the airplane skin are ridiculously large."

"Moreover, they didn't conduct relevant tests, such as metal fatigue tests, noise tests, or fuel efficiency tests. In our eyes, it was just a flying metal object, not a commercial airliner."

"As long as it can fly, that's all that matters."

"So your space company shouldn't use your aristocratic ways," Sandford said before hanging up the phone.

The remaining president of the aerospace company was also furious, because Dai Ying now disliked those nobles, saying that he acted like those corrupt nobles, which was an insult to him.

Then Tom called Boeing, but the Boeing president's secretariat just wrote down what Tom said.

In Boeing's eyes, aerospace companies are nothing special.

Although the president of McDonnell Douglas said that, he still ordered his subordinates to investigate.

Li Song, who was in Guangzhou, transferred a group of people from the BMW motorcycle factory to the BMW marine engine production plant.

Most of the machinery and equipment at the marine outboard engine plant have been installed. The next step is commissioning, and then trial production is planned to begin before the end of September.

On Thursday, August 21, 1980, Li Song arrived in Kyoto.

Then Li Song quickly started writing the manuscript. He had been too busy lately and was originally supposed to finish it this month, but now it seemed impossible.

When Zhu Ling got home from school, she heard the sound of a pot and smelled a delicious aroma.

"You're back!" Zhu Ling greeted Li Song naturally when she saw him peeking out of the kitchen and looking at her.

"Yes, school's out. How was your day?" Li Song asked.

"It's just so-so, sigh!" Zhu Ling sighed.

The amateur training classes are full of people from various organizations, each one more cunning than the last. Moreover, these people are all from the same system, such as the textile system, the petroleum system, and the chemical system.

Among these people, there are a few leaders who naturally become leaders of their circles because their fathers were powerful.

It's completely different from going to university before.

Moreover, those college students who are formally admitted through entrance exams have virtually no interaction with those in part-time classes, because those who are admitted through entrance exams look down on those in part-time classes.

"Sister Lin, how's your studies going? Do you want to act?" Li Song knew, of course, that the adult world was different from the student world.

The business training programs that some schools in Kyoto started later were, to put it bluntly, just platforms where people paid to join. If you think you can actually learn anything from them, you're mistaken.

"Yes!" Zhu Ling felt that rather than studying in an environment she didn't like, it would be better to study while filming.

"Okay, I'll get you an endorsement contract later," Li Song continued.

What endorsement contract?

"It's just advertising."

"this?"

Is this your motorcycle factory?

"Hmm, that's not a good idea, people will talk about it."

"The factory is my personal property, what's wrong with that?"

"I'm afraid people will gossip." "Okay then, I'll find a film crew to make a movie for you later."

"Okay!" Zhu Ling finally nodded in agreement.

Then the two of them acted like a young couple, cooking together, eating together, washing dishes together, taking showers together, and going to sleep together...

The next day, after Zhu Ling went to work, Li Song went outside and found Section Chief Zhou in the car: "Brother Zhou, I want to build several film and television cities in the mainland for making movies."

"Ok!"

"Build a Han and Tang Dynasty film and television city in Chang'an!"

"Build a Three Kingdoms film and television city near Shanghai."

"Also, let's see which place is short of funds to make a movie. I'll provide the money and I'd like Sister Lin to play a role in it. Of course, there won't be any intimate scenes. Also, I won't interfere with the director, and I don't require Sister Lin to be the female lead," Li Song continued.

"Okay, no problem!" Section Chief Zhou agreed immediately; he could handle these small matters himself.

As Section Chief Zhou watched Li Song's retreating figure, he realized that he, Zhu Ling, Ma Shengli, Liu Qing, and others who had met Li Song were all quite lucky.

Section Chief Zhou received a first-class merit for picking up the cargo ship last time, and others also received first-class merits, but this was not publicized.

Section Chief Zhou's rank has been promoted two levels. He used to be just an ordinary staff member, but now he is a division chief. Moreover, he doesn't have many other things to do; he is only responsible for liaising with Li Song.

After receiving Section Chief Zhou's report, the higher authorities also issued special instructions.

Li Song can invest in the cultural field, but not under his Hong Kong identity; he can do so under his BMW motorcycle factory identity, meaning he can use his BMW motorcycle factory identity to sponsor film production.

The mainland is still quite cautious about opening up its cultural channels.

This was later proven to be true, especially after the defeat of the older brother.

What did Big Brother end up like? He actually wanted to join NATO...

So, wanting to join the enemy camp, doesn't that seem bizarre?

He is the eldest son of the Fat Bear family, who has wanted to join the other family for more than ten years after the family split up.

"..." Then Section Chief Zhou brought Li Song a whole bunch of documents, all of which were filming plans submitted by various local film studios requesting funding.

When Zhu Ling returned that evening, Li Song produced a thick stack of documents, which greatly surprised her. He knew exactly where these documents were.

"Thank you!"

"Let's get down to business tonight."

"Hate!"

"Take a look and see which roles you're interested in, then we can talk about the rest," Li Song said with a smile, putting his arm around the other person.

On Saturday, Li Song flew to Guangzhou first, as usual, before returning to Hong Kong Island.

As soon as Li Song got home, he called Tian Jiahui. The other party answered the phone and said, "Boss, Amei's McDonnell Douglas Company wants to investigate our company?"

"What are you looking at? No thanks." Li Song shook his head. Parkson Company was just a shell company in Hong Kong.

"what?"

"As long as they don't come knocking on our door, we don't need to worry about them anymore," Li Song added.

"it is good."

"Boss, someone from the Foreign Affairs Department on the other end of the desk wants to visit you," Tian Jiahui said again.

“No, our company doesn’t associate with politicians. We can just focus on doing business,” Li Song said again, presumably something a small Japanese company would do.
