Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 252 Suggestions (First Update)
Although in theory Li Song could continuously develop technology from second-hand platforms, the developed technology needs to be thoroughly understood by technical personnel before it can be applied in practice.

That's the theory, but Li Song still hopes not to rely on second-hand platforms, so he needs some talented employees.

On the one hand, there are many restrictions on second-hand platforms.

On the other hand, as I grow and become stronger in the future, it will be less appropriate to acquire products from second-hand platforms.

If you buy too much from secondhand platforms, it will increasingly arouse suspicion from others in the future.

Taking a big hit now is enough, which is why Li Song gave the mainland the illusion that his people were afraid of being exposed and were therefore hiding.

Because in the early stages, even if people in mainland China wanted to investigate their connections with those around them, they couldn't!

If this continues unabated over a long period, people in mainland China will definitely become suspicious.

The longer you have contact with the mainland, the more the other party understands your situation.

Upon hearing this, Ma Shengli said, "Mr. Li, please rest assured, I will report to my superiors."

"Okay, it's decided then. The Three Kingdoms Film City and the Han-Tang Film City will be built by the mainland. The mainland will come up with a plan based on the design, and then we'll sign an investment contract directly," Li Song said.

"Yes, Mr. Li, this is the technology joint venture we signed last time, and it has been established." Ma Shengli took out another document.

Li Song picked up the documents; these were the cranes, excavators, bulldozers, and loaders that had been signed last time.

Among them are eight crane manufacturers, nine excavator, bulldozer, and loader manufacturers, four dump truck manufacturers, and twelve related manufacturing companies, involving special steel, rubber, hydraulic equipment, mechanical circuits, and so on.

There are a total of 33 companies, some of which are state-owned enterprises, and others are military enterprises that have transformed.

Last time, a technology-based equity investment agreement was signed, and then these companies underwent restructuring. Now, the restructuring is complete, and new companies have been established.

The companies are located throughout the country, including the Northeast, Shandong, Central Plains, Southwest, and South China regions.

Ma Shengli has been busier than ever lately because Li Song has licensed his technology to so many domestic companies, ranging from motorcycle technology to various other companies involved in materials, machining equipment, and more.

These companies' production and operation data, as well as the patent technology licensing of motorcycle companies, are also included. Several domestic motorcycle companies have successively started production, and their operation data also need to be collected to collect patent fees.

In addition, dozens of home appliance companies, including those producing televisions, washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, and microwave ovens, have also started production.

These are all handled by service companies under the Science and Technology Commission, which are involved in supervision, fee collection, and so on.

As the person who takes over from Li Song, Ma Shengli has a lot to learn.

“Mr. Li, there are some things that may require the use of the name of Baisheng Company,” Ma Shengli said, looking at Li Song looking at the documents.

“Mr. Ma, please speak frankly,” Li Song said directly upon hearing this.

"Mr. Li is also aware that we have some countries in Eastern Europe with which we have relatively good relations!"

"They made some requests, wanting to obtain some better technology."

"But these Eastern European countries aren't in the same trade circle as the West. If they get hold of these things, the technology could very well spread within the Bear's circle!"

“Once these technologies are handed over to them, they’ll definitely end up in Fat Bear’s hands,” Ma Shengli said.
Li Song immediately understood what he meant upon hearing this.

The world is now divided into two major camps, one of which is a group of countries led by the "fat bear".

The countries in this circle do not have patented technologies or the like.

If you can master the technology, you can produce everything in this industry.

To be precise, the international patents applied for by Li Song only apply to the circle led by Ami!

Furthermore, it is known that some Eastern European countries do not take the mainland seriously at all, and some countries have been constantly asking the mainland for various supplies.

These countries are treated as if the mainland should be given to them.

Some of these countries are ungrateful wretches, constantly asking for this and that.

Ma Shengli meant that he wanted to use his position as an excuse to come out.

Li Song readily agreed: "Of course, no problem. The technology licensing contract we signed stipulates that all exported technologies and equipment must be approved by our company."

"These technologies were obtained through risks and the use of many resources; it's impossible to just give them to anyone for free."

"And Mr. Ma, you're right. Once these technologies and equipment fall into the hands of those Eastern European countries, they'll end up in the hands of the fat bear!"

"This will not only strengthen the power of the fat bear, but also arouse the dissatisfaction of Western countries."

"Moreover, Mr. Ma must also know about Fat Bear's style."

Ma Shengli couldn't express himself clearly enough, so he nodded when he heard Li Song say that.

Ma Shengli had no way to respond to that.

There are some things Li Song can say, but I can't say them.

"Mr. Ma, I have a small suggestion to make."

"The world situation is quite complex right now, especially with the two wars."

"Mr. Ma must know what this war is all about."

"These two countries will likely purchase various military equipment from all over the world in the future."

"Moreover, both sides will most likely turn to the mainland!" Li Song felt that there were some things that the mainland could prepare for now.

Military equipment will definitely be sold!

Because after the two World Wars, the Soviet Union collapsed, and the world had a surplus of military equipment.

Moreover, the situation on the mainland was rather awkward, as there was nowhere to sell the military equipment they wanted to sell.

Although Li Song knew perfectly well that selling this item would damage the reputation of military equipment in mainland China, he still had to sell it.

"This?" Ma Shengli hesitated for a moment, though he had a general idea of ​​what the two wars were all about.

"It looks like Fat Bear is supporting Persia now!"

"But Mr. Ma, do you think you would accept Fat Bear's support from a Persian perspective?"

What is Fat Bear's demand?

"Everyone in the world knows this!"

"Therefore, Fat Bear will most likely support Persia's enemy later on."

Li Song knew this; between 1980 and 1982, Fat Bear still supported Persia.

But everyone knows Fat Bear's conditions; he definitely wants to station troops there!

Persia will definitely not accept this condition!

So after 1982, Fat Bear supported Iraq.

At this time, Ami also supports Iraq!

Logically speaking, with the support of Amei and Fat Bear, Yilaq should be very powerful.

However, the situation is quite the opposite. It is precisely because of the support of the two giants that Iraq is becoming increasingly divided.

Because Fat Bear and Amei both support those who favor themselves.

Therefore, the support from these two giants for Iraq did not have much effect.

Iraq's eventual fate was inextricably linked to this period. Even decades later, both countries maintained their respective influence in Iraq.

These two forces have been constantly clashing!
"Then these two giants will definitely support people who are biased towards them within Iraq!"

"So how bad will the situation in Iraq get?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Shengli could imagine that if what Li Song said was true, then the political situation in Iraq would be extremely dangerous.

"Furthermore, given this situation, will the two countries still sell their advanced military equipment to Iraq?"

"Furthermore, if the two leaders later find that they cannot defeat Persia, will they still sell weapons to Iraq?"

"Based on my guess, they probably won't sell it again. It would be too embarrassing to say that. Two giants are supporting one, but they still haven't defeated the other."

"Persia was already being targeted by two powerful nations, so it was even less likely that it could obtain military equipment from them."

"So I think this is a good time for us to upgrade our equipment!"

"After all, we have many more new technologies!"

"Of course, this is just my personal opinion!"

"In addition, I personally think it's still very necessary to keep a low profile. Even if some equipment is technologically mature, we shouldn't let others know about it!"

"We are constantly developing in areas that others cannot see, or areas that are not easily seen." Li Song said this while picking up his teacup to drink water.

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Li!" Ma Shengli quickly wrote down what Li Song said.

"That's all then. Mr. Ma, go and report to your work. I also need to hold a meeting at the factory. Overseas motorcycle orders are gradually increasing!"

"Okay!" Ma Shengli quickly went to report his work.

Li Song convened a meeting of senior executives at the BMW motorcycle factory.

The main issue involves overseas orders, requiring BMW motorcycles to shift their focus to exports.

If we want to have our products manufactured under another factory's brand, we need to send a quality control team!
BMW Motorrad will no longer increase production of its Model 90 and Model 125 motorcycles!

Li Song knew that these two types of motorcycles would likely sell very well internationally!

Because these two types of motorcycles are civilian motorcycles.

When Ma Shengli came to Guangzhou to report on his work, there was a special working group in charge of Li Song's side, which included not only leaders from Guangzhou but also people from Beijing.

This working group was responsible for contacting Li Song.

On the other hand, he was responsible for coordinating Li Song's business affairs.

"My guess was right; they also have finished products in the semiconductor field."

"We just don't know how well their processor performs!" The working group members expressed their opinions after hearing Ma Shengli say that Li Song would bring the technology and data of a chip to the mainland.

When Li Song established the Qiansheng Electronics Laboratory, the working group members judged that Li Song should have mature technology!
However, Li Song did not apply for an international patent, so the working group could not be certain.

"But now we need to bring college students to this kind of electronics research institute."

"It might be particularly difficult for the top students."

“Many outstanding students are now thinking about studying abroad,” someone in the working group said after seeing Li Song’s request.

"The conditions offered by Li Song and his team are very good."

"There are still some people who are willing to come to the research institute!"

"The technology that Li Song brought out is definitely cutting-edge technology in the world. What these students learn abroad is definitely not as advanced as the technology that Li Song brought out!"

"We just can't explain this situation to these students."

"That depends on what those students think. The conditions offered by Li Song are quite favorable."

"I think we can suggest to higher authorities that the security level of this electronic laboratory be raised further."

"This suggestion is very insightful, I agree!"

"This matter still needs to be reported to the higher authorities."

"With so many graduates in related fields in China, there are bound to be some willing to come."

"So, what about the situation regarding the two sides that Li Song mentioned?" The working group reached a consensus on the first issue.

"We just need to report this!"

"We don't know what kind of person Fat Bear is, but he definitely wants a port in the Indian Ocean!"

"Back then, we also needed a place to the sea!"

"The biggest drawback of Fat Bear is that it doesn't have a good outlet to the sea." The working group had no other comment on the two situations Li Song mentioned, as it was just Li Song's personal suggestion.

"So, how do you all understand Li Song's 'hide your strength and bide your time'?"

"Developing large black carp should be a priority!"

"I think that's what Li Song meant too!"

"Now is definitely not a good time for us to stand out. Amei and Fat Bear are now competing in every aspect of the industry!"

"If we stand out too much at this time, both of them might target us at the same time!"

"Let's just report this to our superiors. Everyone can write down their suggestions as well."

"Actually, the higher-ups are in a difficult position right now. They've acquired too many new technologies, and if they were to fully roll them out for upgrades and replacements, it would require far too much money," the leader from Kyoto sighed.

"Yes!"

Because China currently has a lot of military equipment, the investment required for a systematic upgrade would be too large!
Moreover, the technical approach proposed by Li Song is completely different from the existing technical approaches.

We need to relearn and train everyone from the source to the entire upstream and downstream industrial chain.

There are so many things involved here, it takes not only time but also a huge amount of financial resources!

So some people have pointed out: "Moreover, we used to follow the technology route of the fat bear, but now we have suddenly switched to the technology route of the American, and many things in the upstream and downstream industrial chains will have to change!"

"In particular, Amei's technical standards are far superior to Fat Bear's, and it would take a long time to fully implement Amei's standardized processes!"

"The main reason is that the military leaders all want their own areas of responsibility to develop first!"

"I think Li Song's suggestion is excellent!"

"The higher-ups will probably breathe a sigh of relief after receiving Li Song's suggestion!"

"Li Song's suggestion is actually very pertinent."

"Moreover, the military leadership couldn't easily refute Li Song's suggestion!"

"Yes!"

"Then let's each write down some suggestions and report them immediately." The working group then reported the situation to the higher authorities.

Sometimes having too many good things can be overwhelming, making it difficult to choose!
