Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 297 There’s a fight
"I might have to go back to the mainland then!" Li Song plans to go back home for the Chinese New Year this year.

"Don't worry, boss!" Tian Jiahui nodded.

Then Tian Jiahui reported on the construction progress of the cosmetics factory and the instant noodle factory.

Because we bought the land and built the factory ourselves, the process was relatively slow.

Then there are the sales figures for BMW motorcycles and outboard motors.

BMW motorcycles have successfully opened up the international market.

The number of overseas distributors is also increasing, and the number of orders is also continuously increasing.

This double-digit growth figure represents the market's recognition of BMW motorcycles!
"There's another thing you need to pay attention to!"

"This motocross race will be another opportunity for BMW motorcycles to advertise, so we need to pay attention to market feedback."

"We must get this crisis communication system in place, just like I mentioned last time!"

"There are too many people watching us now!" Li Song said after finishing his reading.
"Okay!" Tian Jiahui wrote these down!

"You go ahead and get busy, I'll go check on the semiconductor research institute." Li Song asked Tian Jiahui to work on the annual meeting plans.

"Boss, how about we hold the annual meeting early?"

"After all, you led us all, and your contribution is the greatest!" After thinking for a moment, Tian Jiahui decided to offer his suggestion.
Of course, this might seem like flattery, but it's all the truth.

"Go get ready first!"

"Take out HK$500,000 for the annual meeting raffle, give one HK$100,000 prize, and you can decide what to do with the rest!"

"Another thing is the reward for outstanding employees, which we'll also mention at the annual meeting!" Li Song said.

"Boss, are the BMW motorcycle sales company, Anjie Security Company, and the semiconductor research institute also participating?" Tian Jiahui asked.

"Let's forget about this. Let the branch office handle it themselves, and give them some funding!" Li Song said.

"it is good!"

Li Song was preparing for the annual meeting at Parkson Company.

Other aircraft manufacturers have obtained detailed news video footage of the Starliner's test flights.

The reactions from Airbus, Boeing, and McDonnell Douglas were quite different.

After the Airbus board of directors received an evaluation from relevant experts, everyone who saw the evaluation report looked at the people from the aerospace company.

Because the aerospace company sent people to Hong Kong Island to conduct an assessment report, which concluded that Li Song had absolutely no chance of manufacturing an airplane within ten years.

"Aerospace companies, don't you owe us an explanation?!" Airbus is a joint venture between four countries: Britain, France, Germany, and Spain.

France and Germany each hold 37.9% of the shares, the United Kingdom holds 20% and Spain holds 4.2%!

“Our report was also approved by your board of directors,” the aerospace company representative said.

The others were speechless upon hearing this.

"Do we believe you've made a mistake in the report you submitted?"

"What should we do now that things have come to this?"

"That damn plane will be flying over Europe soon."

"And that damned writer!"

"These damn writers, their plans are more and more unexpected than the last!"

"That's right, that damned writer is a plagiarist who copied our MTU engine technology."

"Shut up! Your MTU company infringed on someone else's patent. The Hong Kong court has already ruled in your favor. This is slander, you damned German!" The British present were outraged and immediately started yelling at the German who had spoken.
"damn it!"

"Don't you know in your hearts where their technology came from?!" The Germans stood up as well upon hearing this!
"You damned war criminals, how much did you steal from us during World War II?"

"You damned war criminals! The tank engines you manufactured are war machines, and they should be destroyed!"

"Others have developed engine technology that is superior to yours."

"You damned war criminals, just wait to pay back the money! We'll punish your plundering behavior severely all over the world!" the British man yelled at the Germans.

Seeing the British's arrogant attitude, the Frenchman said irritably, "We all know what kind of people you British are!"

"Shut up, you French men. If it weren't for us British taking you in, you would have been licking the Germans' asses just like your French women."

"Oh, you damned barbarian!"

"You men who live under the shadow of women have no right to criticize us!"

"And you damned warmongers!"

The Spaniards just watched the spectacle from the sidelines, because the Spanish had not participated in World War II.

The Spanish are the least afraid of any country on the European continent. Even if the bear attacks, with so many countries in front of them holding them off, if those countries can't hold them off, they certainly can't either!

The Airbus meeting ended in an argument.

Moreover, after it was over, the British launched a tirade against the Germans and French in the media!

German media outlets were already dissatisfied with the Hong Kong Island verdict, and thus criticized the British for disregarding the law.

The French, in turn, criticized both the Germans and the British.

The noble French believed that everyone in Europe except them was barbaric!

Because the ten most famous restaurants in London all serve French cuisine!

As for the Germans, they only deserve to eat sauerkraut and pig intestines (sausages).

Meanwhile, McDonnell Douglas is now kicking itself. McDonnell Douglas engineers analyzed the video and concluded it was authentic.

After McDonnell Douglas was grounded last year, the company's performance declined drastically!

Therefore, McDonnell Douglas is preparing to urgently launch the development of the DC-11 aircraft.

The development of a new generation of aircraft inevitably leads to the obsolescence and obsolescence of the previous generation of aircraft technology.

Moreover, given its reputation as the "King of Air Disasters," it was difficult to find someone willing to take it over, but the two parties parted ways on bad terms because of the huge price difference.

McDonnell Douglas was initially taking a more authoritative stance because it had thoroughly investigated the backgrounds of certain Eastern countries involved in the Y-10 project.

Historically, McDonnell Douglas would only collaborate on assembling older models of the McDonnell Douglas 82 after thoroughly assessing the company's capabilities.

In the end, it ended on a sour note!

Therefore, McDonnell Douglas urgently dispatched a delegation to certain Eastern countries!

The grounding of the DC-10 has led to a sharp decline in orders, idle production lines, and the predicament of no one wanting the aircraft produced!

We urgently need to find someone to take over!

Compared to McDonnell Douglas's urgency, Boeing's top management is now also finding the situation extremely difficult!

"There is no good solution to this problem at the moment."

"Firstly, certain countries in the East are potential customers for Boeing."

"If we implement tariff policies, we are very likely to lose this market!"

"Furthermore, this Li Song is now a resident of Hong Kong Island, and Hong Kong Island is now under British rule!"

"If we impose sanctions on Li Song, Great Britain is very likely to react!"

"Therefore, the public relations department has no feasible solutions for this matter."

"Moreover, judging from the current international situation, our government's relations with certain Eastern countries will gradually deepen, so our tariff policy is very likely to fail!"

"Because our country, along with some countries in the East, is now facing the formidable enemy of the fat bear!"

"Of course, the video footage we've seen so far is only a part of the story. We need to actually see the aircraft to make a proper assessment!" Boeing's public relations department reported.

"Where did their count come from?!"

"Have we found out the source of Li Song's technology yet?" a shareholder on the Boeing board asked.

"Based on some preliminary information, these technologies should originate from certain Eastern countries!"

"This Li Song is largely a puppet!"

"This Chang'an Aircraft Manufacturing Plant is very mysterious. We have no information about it at the moment. Baisheng Company has not sent any personnel to the Chang'an Aircraft Manufacturing Plant!"

"Therefore, based on our deduction, the fact that Chang'an Aircraft Manufacturing Plant is a state-owned enterprise in mainland China is just to facilitate the export of aircraft, so the publicity is attributed to Li Song."

"The mainland also wants to leverage Hong Kong Island's unique geographical location to tap into the aircraft market!"

"Of course, this could also be a conspiracy from the mainland!"

"The mainland is negotiating with McDonnell Douglas, and McDonnell Douglas's people have already rushed to the mainland!"

"The ultimate goal of the mainland is to acquire the company's DC10 technology."

"Although the DC-10 is known as the king of air disasters, its manufacturing technology is still quite advanced!"

Upon hearing this, Boeing shareholders asked, "So what is your suggestion?"

"We have lobbied the relevant departments to issue them a special airworthiness certificate!"

"We want to see for ourselves what their private jets actually look like."

"Only in this way can we make the next judgment!"

"Until we see the true nature of their private jets, I think the government should restrict McDonnell Douglas's technology transfer negotiations with the mainland!"

"agree!"

"Agreed!" Boeing's shareholders nodded in unison upon hearing the suggestion!

Because everyone thinks they are very knowledgeable about the aircraft manufacturing technology in mainland China!

However, these people overlooked one point: what exactly was going on with the test flight of the aircraft in the news!

To put it bluntly, these large Western companies are confident in their own technology!

They believe the test flight of the Starliner in the video is fake news.

Li Song, of course, was unaware of the reactions from the three companies.

After explaining things to Tian Jiahui, Li Song went to Baisheng Semiconductor Research Institute for a stroll, and then went to Anjie Security Company next door for a stroll. He was told that he would receive double pay for working during the Spring Festival and that he would also have to give a large red envelope.

Because security work doesn't involve holidays or similar days.

On the contrary, the demand for security is higher during holidays.

Then Li Song went to the construction sites of the instant noodle and cosmetic manufacturing plants and took a look around!
Then we returned to the Federal Garden!
The next day, after arriving at Parkson, Tian Jiahui took out the annual meeting plan!

"Okay!" Li Song nodded after reading it.

"Boss, weren't we going to countersue MTU? This morning I just received a message from a law firm in London, telling us to file a lawsuit as soon as possible!"

"It seems that London and Germany have started arguing in the media!" Tian Jiahui added.
"what?"

"Find out what happened as soon as possible." Li Song's eyes lit up when he heard this.
