Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 211 What Advice? (First Update, 2600+ words)

Sometimes things are just that strange; no one can predict what direction things will take in the future.

Narrow-body passenger planes, which were once looked down upon, later became the mainstream.

This is Li Song's greatest advantage!

Li Song also considered the first civil airliner.

First and foremost is market positioning. Li Song's market positioning is the mainland civil aviation passenger aircraft market!
Currently, long-range passenger aircraft in the mainland civil aviation market can meet all usage requirements.

One aspect is distance; medium- and long-range passenger aircraft are already fully usable.

The second aspect is the market. The domestic aviation market does not currently have an urgent need for large wide-body passenger aircraft.

Thirdly, there's the impact of its own capabilities. If it starts by developing high-end wide-body passenger aircraft, it can also succeed.

However, this does not align with market positioning. Li Song never imagined that this aircraft could achieve a significant market share in traditional European and American markets.

On the other hand, if it's made too high-end, it will attract the attention of other aircraft manufacturers.

Although Li Song wasn't afraid of being targeted, there were still many troubles, since the rules were set by others.

If you want to build a wide-body passenger aircraft, obtaining Western airworthiness certificates and flight permits is extremely difficult.

Whether it's McDonnell Douglas, Boeing, or Airbus, they will all step in to stop it.

Now, medium- and long-range passenger aircraft can reduce influence, and his current company is based in Hong Kong, which is under British rule, giving him a natural advantage.

Because Dai Ying now regards Hong Kong Island as his last jewel.

Li Song needs to obtain the aircraft's airworthiness certificate and flight permit before the negotiations are finalized!
Because Dai Ying still clings to a sliver of hope.

Once the negotiations are finalized, Dai Ying will begin to lay landmines and reap the wealth of Hong Kong people.

Therefore, Li Song was not too worried about the visits from McDonnell Douglas and Boeing, because he never intended to take away their traditional market share.

They are targeting the emerging markets in mainland China.

If we only need to capture half of this market, it will be enough to support our aircraft manufacturing plant!

Moreover, there are cargo planes, large transport planes, and various special-purpose aircraft following behind.

If we can capture half of the mainland market, it's like cutting a large slice off someone else's cake.

Therefore, in this respect, Li Song has something in common with Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, and Airbus: they all disregard each other.

"How is the semiconductor research institute project progressing?" Li Song asked about this matter as well.

"Boss, take a look at these documents. These are the documents I commissioned a real estate agent to collect!"

"Actually, I think the factory next to Jiahao is suitable."

"The manufacturing industry on Hong Kong Island has been increasingly sluggish in recent years, and many factories are starting to vacate!"

"The semiconductor research institute that the boss is preparing must be based on advanced technology, so security should be a top priority!"

“I suggest the boss buy these factory buildings and renovate them,” Tian Jiahui said, showing some property documents.

Two of the factories are located right next to the security company.

Li Song's research institute on Hong Kong Island is mainly focused on research.

Therefore, it doesn't need to be a very large space.

The mainland also plans to establish a semiconductor research institute, which will be quite large, and will include some factories.

"Talk to both of these properties and buy whichever is cheaper." Li Song looked at the two properties; they were about the same size and had similar layouts.
"After you buy it, you can apply for reconstruction, and I'll give you the reconstruction plan then!" The reason Li Song hasn't given you the reconstruction plan yet is because he hasn't decided which property to buy.

After purchasing the property, construction will be carried out based on the existing area and various requirements. At that time, Li Song will directly offer a reward on the second-hand platform for the construction requirements of the semiconductor laboratory.

"Ok!"

As for hiring for the lab, we'll talk about that once the property management has taken care of things.

Then Li Song signed some documents at the company and went home.

Shortly after returning home, Liu Jiale called.

After Li Song called back, Liu Jiale quickly reported: "Boss, Huang Baiming has agreed to an investment of four million Hong Kong dollars, and 15% of the box office."

"Can't we talk anymore?" Li Song asked upon hearing this.

"The negotiations have stalled!"

"If the production team weren't waiting to start filming, we wouldn't have been able to reach this ratio," Liu Jiale said.

"Then let's do it this way, but there's one requirement: the film's release must be approved by us." Li Song stipulated this because he was afraid of the film being released ahead of schedule.

Filming for Golden Harvest's "Treasure Hunt: Temple Run" wrapped up this month. As for the release date, Golden Harvest hasn't confirmed yet, as editing and other tasks are still needed after filming. "Boss, I understand," Liu Jiale said, indicating he understood.

"We've wrapped up filming at Golden Harvest, and we've invited the boss to attend."

"Also, Wang Jing's movie is about to wrap up filming, and we've invited the boss to attend!" Liu Jiale mentioned two other things!

"We'll see when the time comes. I'll go if I'm free, otherwise it's fine!" Li Song wasn't sure if he would be free at that time.

"I'll definitely go to the premiere!"

Then Liu Jiale spoke up again: "Boss, there are a few well-known artists whose breach of contract penalties are probably quite high!"

"Brother Le!"

"You've made a mistake in this matter!"

"The higher the artist's fame, the higher the penalty for breach of contract, which is more beneficial to us and more beneficial to the artist!"

"Don't just pay them money; instead, take them to court."

“Every lawsuit we file is equivalent to our TV station and our artists being exposed.”

"This is equivalent to giving our TV station free advertising, and it's also like giving our artists free promotion!"

"Even if we lose the lawsuit and have to pay compensation, it's still worth it for us."

"Our TV station has nothing right now, while the other side has a huge and powerful business!"

“The higher the breach of contract penalty for the artist, the more attention they will receive. Once the lawsuit is over, everyone will know that those artists are from our TV station.” Li Song noticed that Liu Jiale’s thinking was sometimes still stuck in a rather primitive mindset!
Liu Jiale was always a little uneasy because some artists' breach of contract penalties were just too high.

But they were stunned when they heard what Li Song said.

According to Li Song, the higher the penalty for breach of contract, the greater the attention it will attract.

"Boss, I'm still feeling uneasy, afraid that the penalty for breach of contract will be too high!"

"Now that you say it like that, I suddenly feel like the penalty for breach of contract isn't such a big deal!"

"That's why I say you're a genius writer, boss. Your attitude towards things is completely different from us ordinary folks." Liu Jiale admired Li Song from the bottom of his heart.

"Hehe, Brother Le, you still have a lot to learn from me!" In his previous life, Li Song lived in an era where the internet was highly developed, and he had seen all kinds of tricks.

Sometimes you feel sorry for those celebrities and think they're pitiful, but you have no idea that they're doing it on purpose, just for traffic.

Li Song hasn't yet suggested having the artists speak out about how the previous boss was stingy.

Li Song felt that this was somewhat unethical (there were some things he couldn't write).

"Since you've been entrusted with managing the TV station, you can handle it yourself!" Li Songcai didn't have time to manage the TV station or the magazine.

"Boss, thank you so much!" Liu Jiale was extremely grateful.

After hanging up the phone, Li Song didn't take the matter to heart.

The next day, Li Song, Tian Jiahui, and two bodyguards returned to Guangzhou.

"Too fast!" Tian Jiahui arrived at the BMW motorcycle factory and saw that the second phase of the factory building had been completed.

Across from the motorcycle factory, a shipboard engine manufacturing plant also sprang up.

If it weren't for the brightly lit factory sign, Tian Jiahui would have thought he had gone to the wrong place.

It hadn't been long since Tian Jiahui last visited.

Although Tian Jiahui knew about the development in the port area, seeing it with his own eyes was another matter entirely.

Because Tian Jiahui only saw the completion of the second phase of the BMW motorcycle factory project on paper.

The outboard motor manufacturer has begun trial production.

But when you actually get there, you see farmland turned into factories, and wasteland turned into factories!

Only then did I truly understand what speed meant.

Further away, there are even larger construction sites with a lot of construction machinery working on them!
Tian Jiahui knew it was a car manufacturing plant.

“Mr. Li!!” Tian Jiahui went to do his own work, and Li Song returned to his office.

"Mr. Ma, this script will be submitted to the higher authorities for review." Li Song handed the script of the Jinling Incident to Ma Shengli.

"it is good!"

"Mr. Li, what suggestions do you have for us regarding the introduction of foreign aircraft manufacturing technology?" Ma Shengli suddenly asked this question!
