Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 213 Taking the Initiative (Third Update, 3200+ words)

"Damn it, this BMW motorcycle company has caused us huge losses." The head of Suzuki's motorcycle division said angrily, looking at the teacup in front of him.

There were several other people with them, including the head of Yamaha's motorcycle division and the head of Honda's motorcycle division.

In addition, there is the president of the Japanese Motorcycle Industry Association.

"Yes, that damned Parkson Company is extremely malicious."

"Our Honda company had already negotiated with several companies in mainland China to transfer our 50cc motorcycle technology and production line."

"We never expected such a company to emerge, causing our plans to fall through. Our company has to pay more costs, and we will have to face such a competitor in the future."

"Therefore, we are determined to participate in this race. I believe we are professionals when it comes to motorsports!"

"We must let this BMW motorcycle company know that everything produced by our little notebook is of the highest quality."

The small-time agent has a strong network of connections in mainland China and already knows that BMW has licensed the technology of two motorcycle models to several mainland companies.

The authorized models are 90cc and 125cc.

No wonder these mainland companies look down on the 50cc they are transferring.

The motorcycle industry in Japan is very complete, with several guilds. The Motorcycle Industry Association was the first to receive the news this time.

So we notified the heads of the motorcycle divisions of these companies to attend the meeting.

The Motorcycle Industry Association primarily aims to promote the development of the motorcycle industry, facilitate communication and cooperation among its members, and raise the overall level of the industry.

The Motorcycle Dealers Association primarily provides services to motorcycle dealers, promoting cooperation and information sharing among them.

The Motorcycle Riders Association is dedicated to protecting the rights and interests of motorcyclists and promoting rider culture, providing various services and support for riders.

These guilds also serve as public relations agencies.

This includes organizing motorcycle races and various motorcycle exhibitions.

After taking a sip of tea, the head of Suzuki's motorcycle division said, "We started producing motorcycles in the early 19th century, and our motorcycle culture is over fifty years old!"

"And how long has it been since motorcycles were first produced in mainland China!"

“They have absolutely no motorcycle culture, not even motorcycle teams!”

"They actually want to host an international event."

"This is their chance to humiliate themselves!"

The heads of the motorcycle divisions of the other two companies nodded in agreement: "According to our information, BMW's motorcycle factory only produces regular motorcycles; it doesn't produce any off-road motorcycles at all!"

"Not to mention off-road motorcycle teams!"

"We're going to make them a laughingstock this time!"

"We must let everyone see the motorcycle culture and heritage of our empire!"

The president of the Motorcycle Industry Association, upon hearing the ministers' words, also strongly agreed: "Yes, we must make the International Motorcycle Racing Federation agree to their demands and assist them in building the venue."

"This will allow the venue to better suit our motorcycles!"

"And if necessary, we can also get sponsorship from the International Motorcycle Racing Federation!"

"This amount of money is nothing to us!"

"This is also our best chance to regain the mainland market!"

"Hey, as long as we know the match time and location, we can start with mock training!"

"We have detailed maps of the mainland, as well as a lot of weather data!"

"We can predict what kind of weather will occur in the competition area and during the competition period, and then make corresponding preparations."

"People on the mainland probably still think that motorcycle rally racing is just a simple competition!"

"I have no idea how much preparation is needed for a single match!"

"And that damned Li Song!"

"He's an extremely rude guy!"

"We must trample their products under our feet."

"We absolutely cannot let their motorcycles go on the podium."

"Gentlemen, keep up the good work!" The president of the Motorcycle Industry Association stood up and said upon hearing these words!

"Keep it up!" Several other company ministers also stood up.

Li Song in Guangzhou had no idea that the news had already reached the notebook!
Of course, Li Song also knew that these international associations had intricate connections with those motorcycle factories.

Actually, Tian Jiahui had just asked around through acquaintances.

Parkson has not yet formally submitted an application, but the news has already been spread by the "little notebooks".

Conversely, the motorcycle racing association took the initiative to send people to Baisheng Company!

The goal is to assist Parkson in establishing a suitable market segment.

Then the track data was given to the company on the other side of the notebook.

Because these associations rely on these large companies for survival.

The salaries of people in these associations also depend on these large companies.

The next day, Li Song flew to Chang'an again. Although he didn't have much to do in Chang'an, he would still occasionally visit his businesses there.

Actually, Li Song originally wanted to give the workers here some benefits, but unfortunately it wasn't his private jet.

Once I have my own private jet, I can bring along some tropical fruits and the like!

Tin Ka-fai returned to Hong Kong Island the next day.

When Tian Jiahui returned to Hong Kong Island, he was a bit confused because he had asked an acquaintance to inquire about the situation. However, the feedback from the acquaintance shocked him.

I just inquired with an acquaintance, but to my surprise, they quickly welcomed me, and the International Motorcycle Racing Federation even took the initiative to ask which company was hosting the event and where it was held.

Tian Jiahui's acquaintance then revealed that it was Parkson Company.

Therefore, the International Motorcycle Racing Federation has sent someone to handle this matter!

After thanking him repeatedly, Tian Jiahui hung up the phone, feeling that something was amiss.

"How did things turn out so smoothly?"

"Could it be that an acquaintance has been scammed?" Tian Jiahui wondered for a moment if the acquaintance he had asked for help had been scammed. However, Tian Jiahui only had a brief moment of doubt in his mind, because he had a lot of things to do right now.

The first step is to start a company to manage these events.

In addition, we also need to negotiate the site for the semiconductor research institute ourselves!

Fortunately, Parkson has a large workforce and plenty of cash on hand!
Leave the company-related matters to the professionals.

However, Tian Jiahui discovered that the office space was becoming increasingly insufficient.

Therefore, Tian Jiahui decided to suggest that his boss move to a new office location after he returned.

At that time, all the other companies associated with Parkson will be located in the same building, making it more convenient for people to conduct business.

Li Song had just returned to Chang'an from Guangzhou in the morning and had lunch at the canteen of Chang'an Aircraft Manufacturing Company.

That night, Li Song stayed at a courtyard house in Kyoto!

"This is a script I had someone write!"

"It has passed the review of the higher authorities, and the next step is to invest!"

"The higher authorities will assign a director and then select actors from all over the country to film this movie."

"We'll let the director see which role you're best suited for," Li Song said to Zhu Ling after she returned.

"..." Zhu Ling was speechless. She had invested in a movie just to act in it.

Investing in a movie requires at least tens of thousands of yuan.

Zhu Ling picked up the script and started wiping away tears as she read it.

Because this script is inherently tragic!

The mainstream is just people dying, people dying, people dying, and more people dying.

In the end, all the characters in this script died.

Because that's the truth!
"Ah Song!"

"This script is so well written, it leaves me feeling so heavy-hearted!" Zhu Ling said, her eyes red as she leaned her head on Li Song's shoulder after reading it.

"The real history is far more brutal than this; what is described in writing is only a small part of it!"

"I feel we have a duty to let more people know about that period of history!"

There are relatively few female characters in this film.

“I’ve considered that too. It’s not appropriate to cast you as the female lead right at the beginning of your acting career!”

"Playing a supporting role is just right, so I can watch how they act on set!" Li Song sighed and said.

"Hmm, I'm afraid I won't act well!"

"That would only tarnish the reputation of those seniors!" Zhu Ling said.
"Many of our predecessors fought against foreign invasions. The land we stand on today was built with their bodies. They didn't even leave behind their names!"

"This script is just a very, very small part!"

"You just need to put yourself in their shoes and immerse yourself in the scene."

“You will act very well!” Although Li Song had never acted before, he had seen a lot.

The internet age brings too much fragmented information.

It can be said that netizens in the Internet age are jacks-of-all-trades and masters of none.

In the internet age, netizens can say whatever they want and have a few comments.

"You have to put yourself in that kind of environment, and in the context of the female characters and the medics."

"Their only thought was to let these soldiers live a little longer!"

"They were risking their lives to save these wounded soldiers. When their comrades died, the ones behind them picked up their medical kits and rushed forward, without even having time to look at their fallen comrades!"

"Because they didn't know if they would collapse immediately." Li Song then had Zhu Ling imagine herself in some scenes from the script.

"It's so painful!!" Zhu Ling thought of the descriptions in the script and felt as if a huge stone was pressing on her heart.

"Ok!"

"The script was originally tragic!"

"You could say there's no main character, but everyone is a main character."

"As long as you act well enough, you'll be remembered." Li Song knows that sometimes the definition of a leading or supporting role isn't so precise.

If you act well enough, even if you're just a minor supporting character or only have a single scene lasting a dozen seconds, you'll be remembered by the audience!
"Yes!" Zhu Ling nodded!

"Once I return to Hong Kong Island this week, I will have the magazine send someone to liaise with the mainland!"

"I'm planning to make this a big production."

“Let’s make it a classic among classics!” Li Song said.

"Wouldn't that cost a lot of money?" Zhu Ling looked up at Li Song.

"As long as the film is good enough, I'm willing to accept losses." Li Song chuckled.

"Let's cook!" Li Song said with a chuckle, noticing that Zhu Ling seemed a bit down.

"Actually, I think people should be content!"

"Compared to the seniors depicted in the script, we are already very lucky!" Zhu Ling said with some emotion.

"Yeah!" Li Song nodded.

When you are dissatisfied with yourself, you can look at more history.

Because no matter how powerful a person was in history, in the end, they all returned to dust.

Sometimes it's good to let yourself off the hook and forgive yourself!

"I want to go home tomorrow!"

"Do you want me to come along?"

"No, I haven't figured out how to tell my mother yet."

"Alright then, I'll do whatever you say!" Li Song nodded.
