Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 202 Someone's Playing Tricks (First Update, 3500+ words)

The higher authorities quickly received the report. The island across the water was something the leaders had been longing for, and they had made efforts to secure it before, but at the time they lacked naval power, so...

"The person behind Li Song is no ordinary person."

“I always felt that if this group were to target us, we would probably be in a very passive position.”

"Yes, do you think Li Song brought this up at this time because he anticipated something?"

The leaders sat together, and while no one had any objections to the subject matter itself, it was the signals that the subject matter itself conveyed.

Because the people behind Li Song are deeply hidden in the West, they know far more than we do.

Some of the higher-ups have already considered this, but it's not the right time to bring it up because they haven't fully mastered the technology and haven't officially equipped the equipment yet.

"I don't know!"

"I suspect that Li Song's approach to Zhu Ling is not so simple. Is he trying to express something through this opportunity?"

"It's hard to say. Since Li Song said so, let's have him write a script, and then we can study what the script means."

"Well, since we're going to do a review anyway, we're not afraid of them smuggling in any hidden agendas."

Li Song, of course, had no idea that his words would be interpreted and his actions would be questioned.

Of course, even if we know, it's nothing, because it concerns national affairs, and any action can be questioned.

What Li Song said is true. If they can master the technology and control fighter jets within five or six years, it is indeed possible.

Because Li Song knew the future world order.

Of course, Li Song was just saying that; he would never actually reveal anything about predicting the future!

Nobody believes what I say now!
Upon returning to Hong Kong Island, Li Song's first call was to Tian Jiahui!

"Boss, I've done what you asked me to do, and I've found out who it is!"

"Also, Uncle Hao wants to buy something!"

"Because the people from the Foreign Affairs Department come every day."

"And the department heads from several of the smaller companies have stopped bothering Zhang Dehua and are now coming to our company instead!"

"And McDonnell Douglas has sent another letter requesting an inspection!"

"In addition, the framework of the motorcycle sales company has been completed."

"Several business partners in Southeast Asia are interested in becoming agents for our motorcycles!"

"But the conditions they're offering now make me think they're liars!" Tian Jiahui rattled off a whole string of things.

"I'll be at the company on Monday!" Upon hearing this, Li Cong decided to handle the matter on Monday.

“Okay, boss!” Tian Jiahui replied on the phone.

"Also, have Zhang Dehua come to the company on Monday!"

“I also have some patents here!” Li Song added.

This time, Li Song brought out a high-powered motorcycle sports car, a motorcycle off-road vehicle.

In addition, there are some construction machinery and equipment, such as cranes, excavators, and loaders!
In addition, there are technical patents for tunnel boring machines!
Modern tunnel boring machines all use electromechanical control and hydraulic systems!

It doesn't yet reach the level of the later intelligent control systems.

However, modern tunnel boring machines are still better than traditional ones in terms of safety and efficiency.

Traditional blasting-based tunneling can damage the mountain due to the continuous vibrations from the explosions.

It will have some impact on the future!

Of course, this thing is best suited for digging subways, especially subways in places where it's all dirt.

The tunnel boring machine moves forward, and the various pre-cast modules are laid directly behind it.

"Okay, boss!" Tian Jiahui was curious; what kind of patent would Li Song bring up?
After all, they had already presented the aircraft patent last time!
Then Li Song called Liu Jiale again!

"Boss, the animated film from the mainland has arrived!"

"Lucas's people checked it once and found no problems."

"No sensitive words or discriminatory language were used!"

"Another thing is that the publisher of the book wants to translate Ghost Blows Out the Light and wants to acquire the overseas rights, but they want to meet with the boss!"

"Also, there's the money with Lucas. The boss needs to sign off on it so the money can be transferred to the account!" Liu Jiale also went on to say a lot of things.

"Okay!" Come to the magazine office tomorrow morning and take care of this matter while you're there.

"Okay." Liu Jiale nodded.
Li Song then left his study.

"Song-ge, you're back!" Arlene came in from outside carrying large and small bags.

"Look at the clothes I bought for you!" Arlene showed off the bag in her hand.

"Thank you!" Li Song said with a smile as he walked past A-Lin.

Arlene was wearing a gray knee-length pencil skirt and a white lace short-sleeved shirt on top.

She also wore a pair of white high heels and flesh-colored stockings!

Paired with long, slightly wavy hair!
She exudes youthful vitality and alluring charm.

"It's what I should do!"

"Taking a taxi is so tiring!"

"Once you're old enough to learn to drive, go learn to drive as soon as possible."

"Let me see if our Arlene has gained weight these past few days." Li Song picked her up in his arms.

"No, Brother Song, this outfit is quite expensive."

"Then let's buy more!" Li Song carried the other person directly into the bedroom.

"Song-ge, you've gone astray!" An hour later, Ah Lin looked at her disheveled clothes, rolled her eyes at Li Song, and said, "You've already done the deed before you've even taken off your clothes."

"It's all because you're getting more and more beautiful, Arlene!" Li Song said with a smile.

"As long as you're happy, Brother Song!"

"I'm just afraid that one day you'll get tired of me, Song-ge!" Arlene felt that she couldn't live without this kind of life now.

There are no household chores, no need to worry about husbands and children, and no need to worry about work.

No need to worry about making money, and no need to calculate how much to spend when going out.

There was no one to look after them.

I'm not worried about being betrayed, because I'm not even married!

Arlene's main fear stems from the changes in her parents' relationship.

The next day, Sunday morning, Li Song arrived at the magazine office. Amin had already started school, and this time Amin brought her own comics.

After watching it, Li Song gave some guidance, and then he and Liu Jiale watched the animated films sent from the mainland.

The animation is very well made, and the voice acting for the characters is also quite expressive.

Sometimes, background music is even added to explain the relevant situation.

"Boss, is there another problem with the TV station?" Liu Jiale asked.

"Is there a problem with the approval process?" Li Song knew that television stations on Hong Kong Island needed licenses, especially TVB.

"It shouldn't be the other two TV stations pulling the strings behind the scenes!"

"It seems to be related to those foreigners!" Liu Jiale said.

Upon hearing this, Li Song seemed to know why; it was probably the aerospace company that was behind it all.

"Find out more details about who's behind this, and make sure the necessary expenses are paid!" Li Song said.

"Boss, how about we acquire CTV?"

"Jiayi went bankrupt two years ago, but its license is still valid."

"However, the conditions for obtaining the license were quite strict at the time. It had to be used for television teaching from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and from 9 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.!"

"So although Jiayi has filmed many TV dramas, she doesn't have much advertising revenue!"

"That's why I didn't want to acquire it in the first place!" Liu Jiale said again.

“Then you should use a two-pronged approach!” Li Song said.

"it is good!"

"What about these cartoons?"

"Give it to Lucas first, and let them release it!"

"We'll broadcast it after the TV station finishes its preparations!"

"Okay, boss!"

Then Li Song signed the agreement to invest in Lucas's Jurassic Park movie, and the five million dollars would arrive in his account the following week.

Then there were some other files.

As for the copyright licensing of the Ghost Blows Out the Light foreign language version, let Liu Jiale handle that himself.

Li Song felt that what the other party was talking about was probably not what they wanted to do.

I suspect she wanted to see me this way!

Li Song knew perfectly well how anxious the little notebook was!
By taking the technology back to the mainland, they cut off the financial lifeline of countless small companies!

Motorcycle companies, home appliance companies, and automobile companies.

Of course, as long as the mainland shows enough sincerity, it is willing to accept it.

Because Li Song knew that people in mainland China were unwilling to let him do too much on his own.

Li Song also knew that if a company monopolized a market, that market would only get worse and worse.

Because once a company monopolizes the market, it will become increasingly perfunctory in its work and increasingly disregard its users.

Just like before domestic brands in mainland China took off, those joint venture products were considered superior!
Even after domestic brands rise up and joint ventures drastically reduce prices, they still manage to sell!

Therefore, Li Song has no opinion on these things; it's purely a market behavior—if users like it, they buy it.

As for how to make users like it, that depends on individual abilities. Industrial products should never adopt a fan culture approach, otherwise the consequences will be severe if they backfire.

"Brother Song, I don't want to study anymore!" Amin said hesitantly after Li Song finished dealing with the matter.

"why?"

"I want to draw comics to make money!"

“My mother works very hard, so whenever I object to anything she does for me, she says how hard she has worked for me.”

"I know she works very hard, but there are some things I really don't like."

"Sometimes I even feel like I hate my mom!"

"I know she has sacrificed a lot and worked very hard for me!"

“But…!” Amin sighed.

Li Song knows that many parents give everything to their children!

So if their children have even the slightest objection, the parents will launch into a tirade about how they did it all for the sake of their children.

Such sensible children will be speechless, but they will harbor rebellious feelings.

Because children don't necessarily like what their parents like.

Children who don't understand will argue and make a scene with their parents.

In any case, the relationship between the two sides will only get worse.

Every parent hopes their child will become a dragon, but there aren't that many dragons in this world.

"You still need to study. Our magazine is going to open a TV station later, and we'll have your mother work there!"

"And have you ever thought about it? You and your mother depend on each other for survival. You are your mother's only support, and your mother is your only family. I understand your helplessness, but sometimes life just doesn't offer a choice!"

"You're still young, it's time for you to study!"

“I know your mother wants you to learn piano or other things.”

"You may think these things are useless now, but have you ever thought about what would happen if your comics were adapted into animated films and you personally composed the music? Wouldn't that better reflect the author's ideas?"

"And I think you're not the only child like this, so could you use comics, novels, or music to depict these family conflicts?"

Amin nodded when she heard Li Song say that: "Thank you, Brother Song. I also think you are so talented. You can actually learn so many things. Many of the things written in novels must require a lot of knowledge, right?"

"Ok!"

"If there's a chance, I'll take you to see my other businesses."

"You'll see how talented I am when the time comes."

"Uh-huh!!"

"Let's go back!!"

"Don't try to communicate with your mother either, because she has developed a fixed mindset over the years, and communication will only make the relationship between the two of you more and more strained!"

"What you need to do is keep growing and becoming better. When you reach a certain level, your mother will start to value your opinions!" Li Song said again.
"Thank you, Brother Song!" Amin realized that every time she tried to communicate with her mother, the mother would never listen to anything she said. So that was the reason.
