Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 226 Dog Barking (First Update, 3000 words)

Li Song discovered that many people were speaking ill of him. A newspaper published by a well-known writer said that he was arrogant and conceited, that he wrote a novel and didn't know his place, and that young people should learn and read more and not be too arrogant.

Sing Tao Daily said that someone was like a toad yawning, unaware of how big the sky is. He himself is a toad, yet he calls others frogs in a well.

TVB says Li Song is a mule or a horse, let's put him to the test and see. Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk.

Some newspapers even said that Li Song was a petty person who became arrogant after gaining power, and called on everyone to boycott Li Song's novels.

Golden Harvest was also implicated by Li Song, with newspapers mocking and saying the movie was going to flop.

In a newspaper article, Mr. Zou, the boss of Golden Harvest, quoted Li Song as saying that some people who make their own films can't go global, and they also hope that other people's films can't go global either.

Ah Long said in the newspaper that he believed Li Song's words and was confident in the box office.

Someone interviewed Wang Jing and asked him if he was a traitor. Wang Jing replied that he needed to eat.

After reading it, Li Song had a clear idea of ​​what was going on, and then he started reading Amin's comics.

"Boss, this is the progress report for the Jinling Films from the mainland," Liu Jiale said after taking the documents back.

"Hmm." Li Song glanced at it, then signed it. Inside was the shooting plan, as well as the director, actors, and so on.

"Boss, Wang Jing and Uncle Jiu will be coming over later," Liu Jiale said again.

"Then let's meet." Li Song nodded.

"We buy second-hand equipment from Jiayi TV station; it's mostly in about 80% new condition," Liu Jiale added.

"Yeah." Li Song nodded.

Jia Yi went bankrupt less than two years ago, so they used whatever equipment they could find.

The first one to arrive was Uncle Nine, who was in Sammo Hung's stunt team. However, Sammo Hung was busy filming Ghost Blows Out the Light on RTV, so the members of Sammo Hung's stunt team had to do things on their own for the time being.

Uncle Nine actually debuted quite early, and in his early days he even played supporting roles in Bruce Lee's movies.

After reading Ghost Blows Out the Light, Uncle Nine's vague ideas suddenly became clear, and he decided to write about the Maoshan School. However, if he wanted to present it in a movie, he would write about things like corpse driving and zombies.

Uncle Nine's script was shown to Fatty Hung, the boss of Golden Harvest, and Shaw Brothers, but it didn't pass the review.

Because everyone felt there wasn't much to film about zombies, the box office was destined to flop.

After the director's grant was announced, Uncle Nine revised his script, and unexpectedly, it was selected.

"Mr. Li." After hearing that his movie script had been approved, Uncle Jiu hurried to the magazine office, first met with Liu Jiale, and then came to see Li Song.

"Lin Sheng!" Li Song greeted him as he saw Uncle Jiu enter the office.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Li!" Uncle Jiu quickly expressed his gratitude.

“It’s because your script is good. Your subject matter has great potential. Hong Kong is a blend of Chinese and Western cultures. This time you wrote about Eastern zombies, so next time you can write about Western vampires. How should they fight? What about hybrid zombies?” Li Song said.

"Ah!" Uncle Nine looked astonished, because he had never thought about what Li Song was talking about: how to deal with foreigners who had become zombies.

cross?
What about those who are mixed-race?

Even Uncle Nine himself felt that with just one sentence from Li Song, he could make several movies.

“Mr. Li is truly a genius; one sentence from him has made my eyes light up,” Uncle Jiu quickly said.

"Then film it well. If it doesn't work the first time, there's always next time," Li Song encouraged.

"Thank you, thank you." Uncle Jiu knew Li Song was busy, so he quickly came out and went to Liu Jiale's office to sign the investment agreement.

Wang Jing arrived quickly; he hadn't expected that his second script would be approved before his first film even premiered.

"Thank you, boss." Wang Jing felt that coming here was the right decision; he wouldn't have been able to get such good resources at Shaw Brothers.

"You're welcome, take good care of the filming," Li Song said.

"Thank you, boss. The premiere is on Saturday?"

"I'll come when the time comes," Li Song nodded.

"Thank you." Wang Jing hurried to report to Liu Jiale's side and then prepared to shoot his second movie, where he met Uncle Nine.

We're all in the same circle, we all know each other.

After finishing his business, Li Song felt he had nothing to do, so he drank tea and browsed second-hand platforms to see if he could find any bargains.

There are many things you can look at but can't buy.

However, Li Song also summarized some experience. For example, by searching for excavators and sorting them by year, he could roughly know the development direction of excavators: hydraulic control, digital control, remote control, and finally intelligent control. This is the direction of development.

There are also computers, mobile phones, cars, and so on.

And the future direction of battery development, etc.

We can roughly see some development paths.

“Tape recorder, CD player, MP3 player.” Li Song discovered the development path of music equipment.

It was almost noon when Li Song left the magazine office. As soon as his car exited the underground parking lot, he was blocked by reporters.

"Mr. Li! Mr. Li!"

"Say something! Say something!" Li Song said after getting out of the car. "I don't have much to say."

"Mr. Li, they called you a mule?" the reporter asked provocatively.

"Hehe, let me ask you a question. If you were bitten by a dog on the street, would you bite it back?"

“To the opinions of certain people, that’s just barking like a dog!” Li Song continued.

Upon hearing this, the reporters had already figured out how to write it: Li Song said that so-and-so is a dog!

Li Song said he wanted to be a human being, not a dog!
Li Song said that so-and-so was barking like a dog.

Then the reporters were satisfied with the interview transcripts and watched Li Song's car drive away.

Li Song was well aware of how exaggerated the Hong Kong Island reporters and newspaper headlines were, but that was exactly what he wanted.

Few people realized at that time that fame was actually just traffic. Moreover, in the later Internet era, many big shots liked to do things on the Internet. According to these big shots, they could save tens of millions of advertising fees by themselves.

Li Song went directly to Parkson Department Store, but unexpectedly there were reporters there as well. After seeing Li Song, they all came up to ask for interviews. Li Song still gave each of them HK$50 to have dinner and then refused to be interviewed.

"Morning boss!"

"Good morning, boss!" Parkson's office space is indeed a bit small now, with more projects and more people, but these employees are full of enthusiasm.

The former receptionist is now involved in projects worth tens of millions.

The faster the company grows, the more opportunities everyone will have.

"It's getting late. I'll treat everyone to dinner. Order one for me too," Li Song said.

"thank you boss!"

"Boss, Uncle Li has replied. They've inquired about what you mentioned, and it's proving a bit tricky. Strangers will attract attention if they show up." Tian Jiahui knew Li Song had arrived, so he quickly followed him into the office.

"Yeah!" Li Song nodded.

"The import and export of BMW motorcycles has been completed, and the sales company is almost ready. It was originally difficult to recruit people, but since last week, there have been many applicants, so we have filled the positions quickly. We already have an order for 3,000 units from Southeast Asia, with payment upon delivery," Tian Jiahui added.

"Uncle Hao told you to thank the boss for the things."

"Tell him to try to choose high seas in the future to avoid unnecessary disputes."

"it is good!"

"Boss, this is the progress report on the motocross racing track."

"And here's the progress of the semiconductor lab."

"In addition, this is an agreement signed with Silida."

"And then there are the articles we wrote to generate buzz in London!" Tian Jiahui pulled out several folders.

"Go ahead and get busy, I'll take a look first." Li Song nodded.

Tian Jiahui went out, and Li Song carefully looked at the information. The Taihu Lake off-road motorcycle race track was being built in multiple locations because it was under the jurisdiction of different cities.

The route is planned to be within 50-100 meters of the highest water level around Taihu Lake.

The reason for leaving a 50-meter distance is for environmental and ecological considerations.

The 100-meter distance was chosen with the interests of the surrounding farmers in mind.

It's also worth mentioning that several top-tier motorcycle teams from Japan have decided to participate, and some top teams from Europe and America are also participating, but not all of them.

The track planning also involves places where the track intersects with roads, where we plan to build overpasses. These overpasses will be used for the races and for pedestrians when the races are not running, since some roads lead to ports and other similar locations.

There are also some places where bridges need to be built, but these bridges are for ordinary pedestrians and motorcycles only, not for cars.

The main reason is that some rivers are quite wide, and the water level during the high-water season also needs to be taken into account. At other times, the roads are used for pedestrians, bicycles, and motorcycles, which has solved the traffic problem.

In other places, some use the farm roads used by local residents for production and daily life, and locals are asked to guide the participants during the competition.

Li Song then looked at the competition's reception center, and found that it differed significantly from the plan he had customized on a second-hand platform.

Emergency rescue equipment, including fire-fighting equipment, is needed. However, the biggest issue is convenience, specifically the number of toilets, as well as food safety and security.

Li Song felt that the design team had seriously underestimated the number of people who would be watching the competition.

According to the design provided by the second-hand platform, there is an estimated traffic of one million visits.

This is an international event, and the surrounding area is a densely populated region.

Li Song wrote down the plan for the bounty on the second-hand platform, listing more than a dozen items, and then asked his secretary to give it to Tian Jiahui for processing.

Regarding the progress of the semiconductor laboratory, the renovation and reconstruction team has already entered the site and the renovation should be completed by the end of the month. The main task is to add some necessary hardware facilities, such as constant temperature and humidity equipment, ventilation equipment, etc.

This used to be a factory, so the renovation was relatively simple because factories have high ceilings.

The agency agreement signed by Silida entrusts Silida to handle patent litigation.

As for the article that was used to create momentum in London, Li Song found that the author of the article was a talented person. He compared this patent lawsuit to a second plunder, saying that the Germans wanted to plunder Great Britain.
