Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 276 Marching into Spaceflight (3000 words)
Ma Shengli also learned that Li Song had been blacklisted by Taiwan. Regarding Li Song's proposal to develop music in mainland China at this time, Ma Shengli thought that Li Song's move was extremely clever!
Ma Shengli was an official, so he naturally knew that the timing of setting conditions was crucial!

……

After all, the extent of Li Song's contributions is beyond question.

"Of course, all our actions will be under the guidance and jurisdiction of the government!" Li Song still had to say what needed to be said.

Li Song meant to make it clear to his superiors that he wasn't there to ask for special privileges, but simply to do business honestly.

"Mr. Li, I will report your request to my superiors." Ma Shengli could only respond to Li Song's request according to procedure.

"That's good. That's the main reason I came here."

"Another event is the Taihu Lake Motocross Race. To accommodate potential spectators from surrounding areas, I've prepared five million Hong Kong dollars worth of instant noodles, which I'll sell at the lowest possible price!"

"We hope Mr. Ma will communicate with the higher authorities on this matter."

“These instant noodles will be scattered in various places. It would be even better if the mainland is willing to accept this, since it’s troublesome for us people from Hong Kong to come over.” The main reason Li Song reported this matter to his superiors was that foreign-related issues are now major problems.

Li Song could find some people on Hong Kong Island to sell it, but believe me, he simply wouldn't be able to sell it.

Because it's impossible to allow people from the mainland to come into contact with outsiders.

Therefore, Li Song decided to leave the matter to himself.

"Of course, to prevent some people from buying multiple items at once to take advantage of the lower price, there is a limit to how much each person can buy!" Li Song added.

“Mr. Li is so thoughtful, I will report it truthfully!” Although Ma Shengli knew that Li Song was rich, he was still a little surprised that he took out five million Hong Kong dollars to order instant noodles and then make them available to the audience at a low price.

After all, that's five million Hong Kong dollars!

"Mr. Ma, I would also appreciate it if you could ask the mainland to set a reasonable price for this market. The price shouldn't be too high; the main thing is to make it convenient for the audience!"

"In addition, I am also interested in investing in instant noodle companies and various beverage companies in mainland China!"

“We can offer technology and capital investment!” Li Song certainly knew how big the instant noodle and beverage markets were in mainland China.

First, let's see if we can set up some joint ventures. If we can, we'll do it; if not, we'll set up our own private companies.

"it is good!"

"Mr. Li, this is a list of suitable locations for planting roses, lavender, and other plants, compiled by our superiors after consulting with experts and carefully selecting sites based on your requests!" Ma Shengli also produced a document.
Li Song wants to enter the daily chemical and perfume industry. Although he has imported raw materials, he also needs to establish his own raw material supply chain.

"Thank you!" Li Song picked up the documents and began to read them carefully.
After reading it, Li Song said, "Then let's do it according to the superior's suggestion. If it doesn't work, we can just change the location."

"I'll bring some plant seeds and planting techniques with me later!"

"Our company can sign planting and buyback agreements with local farmers."

Ma Shengli nodded. This time, the higher authorities had brought out farms or agricultural reclamation corps.

On the one hand, people are now being asked to stop growing grain and start growing flowers and plants. They have some doubts, since these people have just been allocated land to individual households. The original plan was for them to grow their own crops. Now you are asking us to grow something else?
This could lead these people to mistakenly believe that higher-level departments are still bossing around those below them!
On the other hand, it is also convenient for management, because this is for export and foreign exchange earnings, and the management experience of the small-scale farming model is not suitable.

In fact, from the perspective of the higher-level departments, it doesn't matter what is planted, as long as it can be exported!
"Mr. Li, the higher-ups have a small suggestion."

"When Mr. Li's semiconductor research institute is recruiting, they can first use the name of internship. That way, if they are not suitable for the job, they can go back to their studies without any psychological pressure!"

"Also, let's not mention those conditions yet. The main issue is that other students won't have such good conditions for their graduation and placement."

“If they are unable to perform their duties at their workplace and are subsequently dismissed, that will likely have an impact on them,” Ma Shengli added.

"Yes, that's an excellent suggestion!"

"Then let's do it under the guise of a winter break job!" Li Song nodded.

"Okay!" Ma Shengli nodded.

"Mr. Ma, please report to your superiors that we are preparing to enter the aerospace industry!" Li Song said.

"Huh?" Ma Shengli's eyes widened upon hearing this.

Li Song's foray into the aerospace industry is simple: it paves the way for his future development of a satellite network.

We will launch our own communication satellites and build our own satellite television stations in the future.

We will launch our own navigation satellites and establish our own global civilian navigation system!

Because I don't need to invest much in technology, I can run the company at a very low cost.

Li Song had discussed this issue before, and one of the companies he applied to was a space exploration company.

"Of course, what we can offer is only the technology; we still need personnel from the mainland. All the technology of our company can be used by the mainland free of charge."

"We would be very grateful if the higher authorities were willing!" Li Song said.

When Ma Shengli heard the word "thank you," his eyelids twitched.

If Li Song and his team want to develop launch vehicle technology, then the direction of their gratitude will definitely be in this area.

"I will report the truth!" What else could Ma Shengli say but that?

Moreover, Ma Shengli knew that the higher-ups would definitely agree, because the technology in this company was certainly extraordinary. Ma Shengli thought of the rocket technology abroad and gasped!
Clearly, Li Song's skills likely originated from these sources.

Li Song is preparing to deliver solid rocket technology.

Solid rocket technology mainly involves solid propellant and nozzles.

Solid rockets are actually just like firecrackers; they rely on the thrust of solid propellant to propel the rocket into the sky.

Furthermore, solid rockets can be combined and assembled with liquid rockets!

In other words, the first stage is a solid rocket, which propels the second stage to a certain speed, and then the second stage, a liquid rocket, ignites to control the direction.

The technology that Li Song presented was not entirely superior, but rather a combination of the most advanced technologies of the time.

Ma Shengli hurriedly went to report on his work.

Li Song held another meeting at the BMW motorcycle factory, then had a meal there, and wandered around!
In the evening, we went to the outboard machine's canteen to have dinner first, and then convened a small meeting with the management team.

Then I went to the car factory the next morning.

The majority of workers in the car factory are veterans, who are trained and assessed before being allowed to work.

Of course, while they are called veteran workers, most of them are actually between forty-five and fifty-five years old!

These are the people who retired from various large state-owned factories and had their children take over their jobs!

BMW pays employees every day, starting from their initial onboarding training.

Moreover, once the assessment is passed, the full salary will be paid.

That is, before passing the assessment, you get three yuan a day, but after passing the assessment, you get five yuan for the period of learning, plus a two hundred yuan assessment bonus.

The assessment here is not about technical skills, but about management processes.

In other words, if you don't pass the one-month training, you'll only get ninety yuan!

If you pass the assessment, you can get 350 yuan.

Li Song has no other skills, only money to pave the way.

These veteran workers found the procedures cumbersome and prone to deducting pay.

But there's nothing we can do about it. To put it bluntly, some older workers had barely left their homes when their beds were put away.

Because the accommodation for employees in the workplace is not well-provided.

Some families squeeze into a small house.

They even had the opportunity to build illegal structures, which was something they were forced to do out of desperation.

Besides, when the family heard that the old man could earn more than 300 yuan a month, they definitely wouldn't want him to go back!

After the initial factory training and assessment, there will be further technical training.

Because the BMW car factory involves a lot of CNC equipment, now it uses magnetic tape CNC equipment.

The technical training assessment is very simple; after passing the assessment, a rating will be given!

If you don't work hard to learn, your rank will be low, and your salary will be low!

This assessment is conducted according to the mainland's eighth-level worker standard.

Some of the technicians at the BMW car plant came from the BMW motorcycle plant!
They are much more familiar with CNC equipment than these veteran workers.

Li Song came with a cast iron engine, from the foundry workshop, for a small van with a four-cylinder, 1.2-liter displacement.

The reason for developing cast iron engines first is that the mainland has a lot of technological reserves in cast iron technology.

Moreover, given the current road conditions in China, cast iron engines are more suitable than aluminum alloy engines.

The advantages of cast iron engines are high power and durability. They have low fuel efficiency, but long service life.

The advantages of aluminum alloy engines are that they are lightweight, have good heat dissipation, and are fuel-efficient!

The cast iron engine workshop has already begun trial casting!

While Li Song was inspecting the BMW factory, his superiors in Kyoto also received a message forwarded from Guangzhou.

"What do you all think about Li Song's plan to develop music in mainland China?" Some things still need to be discussed in meetings by higher-level departments, and the first thing to be discussed was Li Song's plan to develop music in mainland China.

“I saw Li Song say that everything is being done under our guidance and supervision, so there’s absolutely no problem.”

"Moreover, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms co-produced with Shanghai achieved great success in Hong Kong!"

"Right now in Kyoto, they're preparing a Journey to the West movie, which is also invested in by Li Song!"

"The August First Film Studio wants to film a Water Margin movie!"

"The people of Chang'an want to film 'Dream of the Red Chamber'!" a leader from the cultural sector remarked.
