Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 301 Mass Production of 1.2L Gasoline Engines

On January 29, 1981, at 10:00 a.m., Li Song arrived at the hotel where Parkson Company was holding its annual meeting!
Parkson has rented the largest banquet hall. Parkson has nearly 300 employees on Hong Kong Island.

However, there are usually more than 100 people on assignment, sent to BMW motorcycle factories, BMW outboard motor factories, and the Shanghai office of Parkson Company.

These people mainly rotate through different positions, primarily working in logistics, finance, and supervisory departments in mainland China!
More than 300 people were seated at more than 30 tables!

Everyone who was outside has returned.

"Boss!!" Li Song walked into the banquet hall; the others had already arrived.

Good morning, everyone!

"I am Li Song!"

"I am very happy that we can all gather together today."

"Parkson achieved remarkable success last year, with its products selling well in dozens of countries around the world."

"Today, everyone's main task is to eat well, drink well, and have fun."

"Of course, the highlight of today's event is the lucky draw! The biggest prize in today's draw is 50,000 yuan, and the smallest is 1,000 yuan!"

"Everyone here has a chance to win a red envelope!"

"Next, please welcome Mr. Tian Jiahui, Vice President of Parkson Company, to come up and say a few words to everyone." After Li Song finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Tian Jiahui, who had come up to the stage.
Everyone in the company knows Li Song's style: when he holds meetings, he gets straight to the point, and once he's done, the meeting adjourns.

"My name is Tian Jiahui, and I think meeting the boss is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me!"

"As the company's vice president, I hope everyone will continue their efforts this year to make the company bigger and stronger. Now, we've come to the most important part: the lucky draw!"

"Everyone, come up and perform your talents in an orderly fashion," Tian Jiahui said before preparing to leave.

Li Song stopped Tian Jiahui at the front and said, "How about we all let Vice President Tian go first?"

"Bravo!" The crowd below applauded enthusiastically!

Tian Jiahui never expected that Li Song had tricked him and trapped him here!
"Since everyone wants me to perform a talent, then I'll recite a poem for you!"

"Goose, goose, goose...!" Tian Jiahui recited the poem "Goose, goose, goose" in a serious manner.

"Hahaha!!" The employees below burst out laughing when they saw Tian Jiahui reciting this in such a serious manner.

Because Vice President Tian is a bit of a snob who looks down on people.

"Let's invite our Vice President Tian to draw the prize!" The prize draw is done using paper squares; each person chooses one square to draw.

"two thousand!"

"Congratulations, Vice President Tian, ​​on winning two thousand!" Tian Jiahui wasn't very lucky; he only managed to draw one two thousand!
"Thank you everyone, thank you everyone!"

"Should we ask the boss to do one?"

"Boss, one please!"

"Boss, one more!" Tian Jiahui chimed in!
"Okay, okay!" Li Song was pushed forward by several senior executives.

"I'll perform a somersault for everyone," Li Song announced as he stepped onto the stage.
"it is good!!!"

Then everyone saw Li Song standing in a corner of the stage, still wearing a suit, trousers, and leather shoes.

Then Li Song took a step, jumped up, flipped twice in the air, and landed steadily!

"Great!!!" Even the security personnel nearby applauded when they saw this!
This is not something an ordinary person could do!

"Congratulations to our boss for winning 1,000 yuan!" Unexpectedly, Li Song's luck in the lottery was even worse, and he directly drew the lowest prize!

The talent show that followed was a chaotic mess, with some even singing English ABCD songs.

There were also children singing kindergarten nursery rhymes.

In the end, an ordinary employee in the office won the grand prize of 100,000 yuan!
Of course, there are also office choruses, but these people are all tone-deaf and sing their own songs together, which makes the people below laugh so hard they almost fall over.

The annual meeting lasted from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.!
After the annual meeting ended, Li Song went to Phoenix TV!
Phoenix TV has far more employees than Parkson.

Of course, Phoenix TV's annual meeting isn't just for Phoenix TV itself, but also for the magazine!
The subsidiaries of Parkson did not participate in the head office's annual meeting; instead, each branch organized its own.

However, news of Parkson's annual meeting was still leaked.

People from other companies were also very envious when they heard this.

Phoenix TV is located in a huge studio.

Phoenix TV and its magazine together have more than 800 employees.

The talent shows here are much more varied and professional!

Both opera and singing have accompanying music!
There are also martial arts, calligraphy, musical instruments, dance, and so on.

Of course, there were also choral performances!
The entire annual meeting lasted five hours.

It starts at 4 PM and ends at 9 PM!
Of course, some staff members on duty, as well as on-site staff, don't need to perform; they can simply go on stage to draw prizes.

When Li Song arrived, everything was already prepared.

When the time came, the host invited Li Song to come on stage.

"Hello everyone, I hope you all win big prizes!"

"In addition, I hope everyone will work together to make Phoenix TV better and better!" Li Song stood on the stage and looked at the TV station staff and artists dressed in their finest attire below, feeling dizzy with excitement.

Arlene wore a white cheongsam today, her hair was styled in a high bun, and she wore a pearl necklace.

She looks tall with long legs, and her neck is white and long.

Female celebrities from television stations were also dressed in flamboyant attire.

The male celebrities were all dressed in suits and ties, or in Zhongshan suits. Of course, there was also Amin, who had a baby face.

"Next up, please welcome Brother Le!" Li Song said.

"thank you boss!"

"I think the luckiest thing in my life is meeting my boss!"

"I'm afraid there's no boss as good as this in the whole world. Enough said, let's begin the annual meeting!" Liu Jiale said a few simple words as he came up.

As for the other senior executives, they didn't even get a chance to get promoted.

Executives at Phoenix TV and the magazine were all familiar with Li Song's meeting style.

The meetings are very pragmatic. Once the things that need to be said are said, the meeting is adjourned. There won't be a situation where the boss says something, the general manager says something, the deputy general manager says something, and the department manager says something!

"Boss, our TV station is planning to start an artist training class after the New Year." Li Song said to Liu Jiale as they sat together, watching the host invite other artists to perform on stage.
"Ok!"

"Let's just do as TVB says!"

"The first episode of Avenue of Stars will air on the night before Chinese New Year's Eve," Liu Jiale added.
"I trust you with these matters!" Li Song nodded.

"It's all thanks to the boss's idea!"

"Also, regarding the children's comics you mentioned, we're already in the planning stages!"

"That's good!"

“You can make some educational and entertaining things into comics.”

"The population base of Hong Kong Island is still too small."

"I'll talk to the mainland about publishing the magazine there, and then we'll start collecting manuscripts from the mainland!"

“The same goes for novels!” Li Song added.

The main problem with Hong Kong Island is its small population, which results in a smaller number of writers being selected from that population.

"Okay!" Liu Jiale knew that Li Song was saying this to prepare him!
"Great!!" As soon as the TV station's performers finished their show, Li Song led the applause and cheers!

Liu Jiale also clapped.

This time, Uncle Jiu performed on stage and sang a section of Peking Opera.

"Congratulations Mr. Lin on winning 10,000 yuan in the lucky draw." Then came the exciting lucky draw!

Uncle Nine is now also a contracted director for Phoenix TV.

So naturally, it's happening right here at the annual meeting!
"Thank you Phoenix TV for giving me this opportunity!"

"Thank you, Mr. Li, thank you, Manager Liu!" Uncle Jiu said again.
The zombie movie directed by Uncle Nine will be released during the Spring Festival.

Li Song has a good relationship with Golden Harvest and Cinema City, so he has reached an agreement with Golden Harvest and Golden Princess Cinema.

Then other people went on stage one after another, some performing acrobatics, some calligraphy, and even some knife throwing.

Of course, there are also martial arts, Peking Opera, Huangmei Opera, dance, and music.

Arlene also sings, but she doesn't sing very well.

To be frank, he's simply not cut out for singing.

Of course, there was more than one person like Arlene at tonight's annual meeting.

"Don't include this in the later editing!" Li Song whispered to Liu Jiale after hearing this.

"Okay!" Liu Jiale nodded!
Arlene's image and temperament are perfectly fine for a host, and besides, she has connections with the boss!
Just singing isn't enough!

Finally, a lighting technician from the TV station won a house worth 300,000 yuan and was so excited that he was incoherent.

After the annual meeting ended, everyone was hungry, and the TV station had already prepared a feast in the cafeteria.

This meal was ordered from a high-end hotel!
In other words, the hotel provides ingredients, chefs, and tableware, but the food is processed in the kitchen of the TV station's cafeteria.

Many people toasted Li Song!
"Mr. Li!"

"Thank you!" Uncle Nine was very grateful to Li Song. If he weren't Li Song, he would never have been a director. Without saying much, he offered a toast and drank it down!
"Work hard, I have faith in you. But drink less and smoke less, don't ruin your health and end up not enjoying the money you've earned," Li Song said, taking a sip.

"Thank you for your concern, boss. I will definitely quit smoking and drinking!" Uncle Jiu nodded.

Then there are the three mentors of The Voice of China. The three mentors really like their job on The Voice of China because the show is very down-to-earth and doesn't have any fancy tricks.

Because if these shows resort to any fancy tricks, their reputation will suffer.

Because the audience's eyes are discerning; they can tell who sings well and who doesn't. They're not deaf!

Moreover, once you've done it once, you're likely to do it again. Once your reputation is ruined, it's very difficult to rebuild it!
So, the show was very popular at the beginning, but it didn't work out later on.

Sometimes they treat the audience like idiots.

Of course, the audience wouldn't want to watch.

Then other people from the TV station came in groups of three or five to toast Li Song.

Li Song mostly drinks water, and the person who pours wine for Li Song has already been instructed to do so!

Arlene will be at Federal Garden tonight!

The next day, Li Song rushed back to Guangzhou. There was no one at the Electronics Research Institute; everyone had gone to recruit people!

Then Li Song received some good news: the car factory's first inline four-cylinder 1.2-liter cast iron gasoline engine had officially started mass production!
This is the engine of the van from the car factory.
