Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 296 Special Airworthiness Certificate

"The pirate series seems like a good option!" Li Song thought of the Pirates of the Caribbean series again.

"We still need to keep running the game company!"

"So we still need to get fantasy novels going!" So Li Song offered a reward for a World of Warcraft fan fiction on a second-hand platform!

In other words, they provided the main storyline of World of Warcraft and then offered a reward for a fan fiction story!
Of course, for a second-hand platform, it's a fan fiction, but after Li Song got his hands on it, the novel was published first, and then the game was an adaptation of the novel.

This novel could also be adapted into a comic book, and then the comic book could be made into a game.

"Also, cultivation novels are fine!"

"People are tired of reading simple martial arts novels."

"Moreover, with the development of the times, cultivation novels can also be adapted into movies and TV series!"

"But I'll write a cultivation novel myself first to set an example," Li Song thought to himself. Of course, on the surface, he would write it himself, but in reality, he would offer it as a reward on a second-hand platform.

Because the entertainment industry is really profitable.

Just like the novels that made Li Song a lot of money, it was much faster than running a factory or anything like that.

Just like novels such as Pirates of the Caribbean, if adapted into movies, they can rake in a lot of box office revenue in America.

After all, if they get blacklisted by America in the future, they might not have the chance to make money from them anymore!
Therefore, Li Song offered a reward for fan fiction of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Of course, if Li Song were to apply this to the real world, the novel would have come first, followed by the movie.

Moreover, Li Song had already prepared for the third installment of the Treasure Mystery series.

The first part of the Treasure Mystery series is called Temple Run, the second part is National Treasure, and the third part is called Lost Treasure. Of course, the third part is fictional. The fictional mustachioed man sends a submarine to deliver the treasure to a certain island, where a submarine base is built. Inside, there are many copies of technology, a lot of industrial machinery, and of course, a lot of gold.

This island is in Northern Europe!

Because there are many islands in Northern Europe.

The fourth book could be about the golden city of South America.

Phoenix TV broadcast the maiden flight video of the Chang'an Aircraft Manufacturing Plant's Xinghui private business jet at 7 p.m. on its evening news.

The host introduces: Mr. Li Song, a Hong Kong billionaire, world-renowned author, and investor in Chang'an Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, has officially launched the first small jet airliner, the Star Shine!
The StarShines passenger jet has officially obtained a special airworthiness certificate from mainland China and will undergo flight testing for three to six months.

It will be officially finalized after three to six months of flight testing.

The first test flight of the StarShines passenger jet consisted of a half-hour cruise flight mission, during which multiple mission operations were performed, and the maiden flight plan was successfully completed.

The ground tests of the Starliner showed excellent data, meeting the design parameter requirements.

In the news, you can see a small passenger plane flying around in the sky. This small passenger plane is yellow, so it looks very conspicuous.

Of course, there's also the process of takeoff and landing.

Apart from Li Song standing next to the plane, no other staff or people were seen in the news footage.

People on Hong Kong Island who saw this news were somewhat incredulous, because this was about building airplanes, not bicycles.

How long ago did Li Song, this billionaire, start manufacturing airplanes?

They actually managed to manufacture an airplane in such a short time.

For those who know about airplanes, such as pilots of commercial airlines, it is even more incredible!

After all, Hong Kong Island Airport is a hub of activity, with many commercial airlines' planes stopping there.

Pilots and flight attendants stay in hotels and watch TV.

There are also airport ground staff and airport employees.

Some of them are experts, while others are only half-knowledgeable.

However, everyone knows how difficult it is to manufacture jet aircraft.

This is the crown jewel of industry.

It can be said to be the culmination of human technological civilization!
Although it is much easier to manufacture small jet airliners than large or medium-sized jet airliners.

But don't forget how long it took Li Song to start talking about building airplanes.

It takes several years from design to manufacturing an aircraft.

How come Li Song can just manufacture things like that?

This is too fast.

Moreover, these industry professionals also know that before this, representatives from Airbus, Boeing, and McDonnell Douglas came forward and confidently stated that Li Song's aircraft patent application was limited to blueprints, and that Li Song and the aircraft manufacturing plants he invested in in mainland China simply did not have the capability to manufacture the designed aircraft.

He even went on to make grand pronouncements, saying that design is design and manufacturing is manufacturing, and that the mainland doesn't understand the aircraft manufacturing process at all, and that the mainland's aircraft manufacturing is still stuck in the handicraft industry.

Some engineers even stood up and said that they hadn't mastered welding technology or materials technology.

They even claimed that the reason why the large passenger aircraft project in mainland China failed was because the technology was not up to standard.

When the mainland was negotiating with McDonnell Douglas, the goal was to introduce these technologies.

Some foreign companies use the guise of negotiating with you to probe your true strength and weaknesses.

See which technologies you haven't mastered and which technologies you need them to transfer.

Once they've finished testing the waters, they might turn around and block you from using that technology.

So sometimes, people may seem to come with sincerity, but they are actually hiding a knife behind their smile!

If you're not careful, the knife will be cutting you!

The news was then instantly relayed back to the major aircraft manufacturing companies.

When the last report covered the aircraft's ground testing, several major aircraft manufacturers said it was impossible, that it couldn't be so fast, and that Li Song was just creating a gimmick to gain fame.

And now there are videos, as well as footage of airplanes taking off, landing, and cruising in the air!
After the news broadcast, the data recorded by a specialized intelligence agency was sent back to China overnight.

Phoenix TV's news program also covered the Around Taihu Lake Motorcycle Cross-Country Race.

Li Song was secretly pleased to see BMW billboards everywhere in the news!
No matter what angle you shoot from, you'll inevitably see BMW billboards. Li Song's actions infuriated the three major motorcycle manufacturers who were reading the news in Japan.

They called and demanded that domestic news media in China strictly review video and image materials to prevent BMW advertisements from appearing.

The Japanese government naturally blocked BMW's advertisements in China, but the Japanese public found the news viewing strange, always feeling that the angles of the shots were off.

But news media in other countries around the world do not do this.

Several Southeast Asian countries also sent teams to this motocross race.

These teams from several countries are actually teams formed by BMW motorcycle dealers, and these teams were formed even less recently than the BMW motorcycle team.

However, these drivers are also very experienced, because the road conditions in Southeast Asia are even worse during the rainy season.

In any case, these dealer teams also represent these countries in the competition.

Therefore, the media in these countries will naturally report on it!
Needless to say, European and American countries, especially smaller cities, are also very interested in this event.

Because normally these teams from small cities have no chance to go on the international stage!
Although this competition was not included in the global competition schedule, people in these cities still cheered and celebrated when they saw their city's team's name appear on television.

Of course, I'll start cursing when I see the team from the neighboring city achieve good results.

BMW's brand is now completely famous.

The very next day, Li Song received good news: the Hong Kong Island Court ruled in the first instance that Parkson Company was not guilty of patent infringement in the patent dispute with MTU, and the MTU representative stated in court that they would appeal.

The main difference is that MTU applied for eight-cylinder civilian engine technology, while Yum! Brands applied for four-cylinder, six-cylinder, eight-cylinder, ten-cylinder, and twelve-cylinder technologies.

It has a more complete core technology patent barrier, and its design is superior to that of MTU.

MTU didn't not want to apply for a 12-cylinder engine; it's just that a 12-cylinder engine is a tank engine!

MTU stated that it would appeal in court!
After leaving the courthouse, the general manager of Parkson announced that he would file a countersuit against MTU for infringing Parkson's patents and demand that MTU cease the infringement!

The MTU representative gritted his teeth upon hearing this.

When the news reached San Dezi, his media outlet stated that this was a disgrace to the judiciary in Daiying, a case of collusion between officials and businessmen, and a disregard for facts and the law.

Furthermore, SanDezi's official statement also indicated that this was blatant copyright infringement!

Dai Ying, on the other hand, was equally assertive, stating that this was an infringement by them, and that Baisheng Company possessed a complete patent technology chain. She challenged Baisheng to apply for a complete patent technology as well.

San Dezi was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth!
Baisheng's technology is already better than its own engine technology.

Especially in terms of design.

In other words, the engine technology of the Leopard 2 tank has been leaked.

There were also internal disputes within San Dezi, because San Dezi had exported eight-cylinder civilian diesel engines to some Eastern countries!

Therefore, these people believe that the technology was developed by certain Eastern countries based on this!
What made San Dezi even more uneasy was that if Baisheng Company sued him for infringement and was then found guilty by Dai Ying, he didn't know how much money he would have to pay in damages.

More importantly, it will also affect subsequent technological iterations.

Moreover, MTU is certain that, given Dai Ying's track record, she will definitely rule against them.

So there's a growing sentiment within the company now that calls for a settlement with Parkson.

Then, a technology non-proliferation agreement is signed with the other party, which means binding the technology to the two companies.

MTU was afraid that Baisheng Company would shamelessly license its engine technology everywhere!
Then it will be even more difficult for the company to protect its rights.

However, they were also afraid that Parkson might make exorbitant demands or retaliate against them.

Moreover, MTU is not going to swallow this insult!
On January 25, 1981, the 1th day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Song had just gotten out of Ah Lin's bed when he received a good news message from Tian Jiahui: "Boss, the Star Shine passenger plane has obtained special airworthiness certificates from Europe and Aramco!"

"Great!" In fact, Li Song had anticipated this, because the West simply did not believe that the Starship airliner could be manufactured so quickly.

The way to expose a lie is to see it with your own eyes!

Furthermore, flying from here to Europe and to Amer is itself a test; if the technology isn't up to par, you simply can't fly that far!

So what appears to be a special airworthiness certificate is actually a test!

Of course, for Li Song, this was a great opportunity to become famous.

If the test is passed, it will bring a good reputation.

Moreover, Li Song had a very insidious plan.

That means finding a distributor in Europe.

The British won't stand for it?
Let the French do it!
Because they're natural enemies!
As long as they announce that someone is willing to be a distributor, these two companies will definitely vie for it, regardless of whether there is any business or not. They just can't let the other side steal their business.

Then Li Song offered a very tempting price!

In other words, Li Song has to make concessions!
Moreover, the most famous private jets are Gulfstream and American jets!

Dassault! From France!

Bombardier! And that's huge!

And Dai Ying!
No!

So, how would Dai Ying choose her "troublemaker" personality?

They'll definitely drive down market prices and disrupt the market, regardless of whether he has customers or not!
As long as I can make money!

The capitalists in Daiying will probably not let this opportunity pass.

Li Song did this primarily to explore the European and American markets as well as the global market.

"Old Tian, ​​well done!" Li Song was already planning in his mind that when the Star Shine plane came to Hong Kong, he would hold a press conference and then invite some mainstream European and American media reporters to fly to Europe together.

Of course, the interior should be made more luxurious, and the exterior should be made more eye-catching!
They also need to conduct noise tests, air pressure tests, and internal function tests, etc.!
“Boss, this is what I should do,” Tian Jiahui said on the other end of the phone.

"The company has arranged for holiday duty shifts tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. We'll also have an annual meeting, treat everyone to a meal, and give bonuses to outstanding employees!" Li Song began by assigning tasks.

“Okay, boss!” Tian Jiahui agreed.
