Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 23 Borrowing Money (Second update, please read, collect, and vote)
Li Song submitted a 100,000-word manuscript of Interstellar Mercenary last week and received another 10,000 yuan. He quickly spent half of the 10,000 yuan. It cost 3000 yuan to register a company and 2,000 yuan to buy a pager.

Li Song felt that the money he earned was not enough to spend, and patent registration also required money.

The motorcycle engine is a utility patent invention, and the motorcycle's appearance structure involves appearance patents, as well as LOGO and so on.

Li Song calculated that the international patent for a motorcycle, plus agency fees, search fees, etc., would probably cost a huge amount of money.

Sometimes what you mutter will come true.

Li Song went out this morning and bought a new evening paper, bought some groceries and had breakfast. He just returned home and sat down to check the second-hand trading platform.

I found out that the other party actually completed the reward and even had a postscript.

After reading the PS, Li Song also felt embarrassed, because the other party's PS said that his requirements were unclear, including the specific parameters of the motorcycle, displacement, speed, drive mode, whether the engine should be two-stroke or four-stroke, air-cooled or water-cooled, load-bearing capacity, etc.

The other party mentioned that they had designed two air-cooled motorcycles, one with an 80CC displacement and the other with a 125CC displacement. The 80CC is sufficient for use on plains, and the 125CC can be used in mountainous areas.

The PS also said that there were export modification plans for the two cars, because at that time the mainland exports were likely to be only to Africa.

The power system remains unchanged, but the load-bearing capacity, tires, etc. have been changed.

After reading the postscript and the appraisal report of the C-level automation mechanical engineer named Luo Lai, Li Song breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Song looked at the drawings and saw that the total weight reached 450 kilograms.

This includes the material data of various parts of the motorcycle, the body steel, the engine material, and the cylinder liner, piston, and piston ring materials are all different.

There are also bearings, chains, rubber tires, wear resistance, oxidation resistance, etc.

Also included is a recipe for gasoline antifreeze.
Li Song confirmed the reward and the money was transferred to the other party's account. Then Li Song directly launched a targeted reward to the other party.

This time the reward requires the other party to screen the machinery and equipment capable of manufacturing motorcycles on the second-hand platform based on the previous drawings, and it must meet the technological level of 1979, including material technology, etc.

The suggested price for this reward was 21 US dollars, and Li Song directly raised the price to 30 US dollars.

In 2080, an engineer named Luo Lai was complaining in his mind that second-hand platforms were increasingly exploiting users, when he unexpectedly received a message that popped up.

"Ah!" Luo Lai exclaimed when he saw the targeted reward, which was worth 30 US dollars.

After carefully looking at the requirements, this is not difficult. It mainly involves data query, data analysis, technical analysis, etc.

Luo Lai quickly took the order and prepared to do it after get off work.

Luo Lai had just accepted the order, but he didn't expect the other party to launch another targeted reward. This time it was for a technical analysis of the previous drawings, and the reward price was as high as 120 million US dollars!
Luo Lai took a careful look and realized that he needed to conduct a technical analysis of the entire engine and materials. This required him to write it himself, which would take a lot of time. In addition, the other party still required printing as last time.

Luo Lai didn't feel strange about these rewards, because all kinds of things were sold on second-hand platforms, and everyone had their own privacy.

"Is he planning to develop a game?" Luo Lai muttered to himself, and then accepted the reward. He could certainly do a technical analysis of the drawings he designed himself.

"Ten days..." Li Song saw the time limit for picking up the goods, ten days.

That is to say, you have to pick up the rewarded items within ten days. This is equivalent to picking up the items in a courier locker, and there will be a fee if you exceed the time limit.

"Money, real money!" Li Song didn't have much money in his hand, just some Hong Kong dollars.

"How about we go back to the mainland tomorrow and sell a batch of diamonds there?"

"But this isn't a good idea. It could easily give someone something to hold against me. After all, it's not something you can disclose publicly. But the fact that the mainland paid me money is a record, and I'm worried someone might use it to gossip about me later." Li Song knew it was easy to get the mainland to sell the diamonds. But there were some things he had to be wary of. The person handling the matter now could explain the money he had received, but what about the money that came later?
Moreover, things of unknown origin are easily criticized.

"How about borrowing some money first?" Li Song still wanted to apply for an international patent first, and then take it to the mainland for review by the Science and Technology Commission.

You could say Li Song was selfish or cautious, but Li Song felt that this was the safest way. What if, what if the drawings were leaked during the review process... he wouldn't even have a place to cry.

"Borrow money, Lao Tian should have money." Li Song thought of someone.

Tian Jiahui had just arrived at work when he sneezed a few times for no apparent reason. He wondered: Who is whispering about me?

Not long after, Tian Jiahui's pager rang. He called and found out it was a message from Li Song. Tian Jiahui inexplicably felt something was wrong.

"Borrow money, Mr. Li, you are kidding, right?" Tian Jiahui came to Li Song's house and said after hearing this.

I finally know why I sneezed just now. It turned out that Li Song was thinking about his money.

"Well, my royalties are coming too slowly, so I need some emergency help first." Li Song said.

"Uh, how much do you want to borrow?" Tian Jiahui was speechless. You are still slow to make money. Look at how popular your novels are?

The sales of the New Evening News increased by 43% in one week and are still growing. Now Tian Jiahui can hear people saying everywhere: Flop, you are better at eating fish than someone else.

Even when I came here myself, some people were already saying: You can hold more than a certain brand of plastic bags.

"I don't know either. I have a motorcycle and I want to apply for an international patent. You can lend me as much money as you need. I can give you some diamonds as collateral." Li Song said.

“…….” Tian Jiahui was confused. Motorcycle patent?

Tian Jiahui wanted to ask, since you gave me the diamond, why didn’t you mortgage it to the bank, but he didn’t ask.

"Ok."

"I'd also like to ask you to help me contact a reliable patent lawyer and agency."

"Ok!"

"ASAP!"

"I'll do it right away!" Tian Jiahui felt something was wrong.

After leaving Li Song's place, Tian Jiahui felt that something was increasingly wrong. He had to borrow his own money and run errands himself, and do it as soon as possible...

Forget it, I’m just a normal person carrying a gun, so I won’t bother with it.

Tian Jiahui really wanted to refuse, but he was afraid. The man carried bulletproof vests, submachine guns, and grenades with him. If he didn't agree, who knew what he would take out the next second.

"After I borrow the money this time, I will spend it quickly and buy a house to avoid borrowing money again!" Tian Jiahui felt a little regretful. He should have spent all the money earlier, but now he has agreed.

"Oh, I don't know if I'll return it or not."

"Even if they don't return it, I wouldn't dare to ask for it." In order to avoid any further complications, Tian Jiahui quickly asked around.

It has to be reliable and cost-effective. After all, I am borrowing the money myself. I will borrow more from those with poor cost-effectiveness. What if Li Song doesn't pay it back? Can I still go to his house to ask for the money?
