Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 35 Banquet (Second update, please collect, read, and vote)
The Science and Technology Commission's Lao Ma was also dumbfounded. They had already found a big black fish? This?

Lao Ma really doesn't understand, because the information in this period is not the Internet age. At this time, if you are not a professional and want to find the answer to a question, you either have to find a professional or look up a book.

It’s nothing like the later generations, where you can find everything with just a random search.

"Of course, the technology we have developed may not be able to reach that level, but the technical route is worth referring to." Li Song waited until Zhang Jianshe was done before continuing.

Because behind every successful technology are countless experiments and massive amounts of data, and these technical routes are explained, many formulas can be derived and many research directions can be provided, which involves huge basic data research in materials science.

Old Ma from the Science and Technology Commission is now a little at a loss, because he just opened it and doesn't know whether he should read it or not.

"Ahem, Mr. Li, we will treat these two technological achievements strictly." Lao Ma from the Science and Technology Commission closed the technical information directly.

"Chief Zhou, take these first." Lao Ma handed them to Chief Zhou.

"Yeah." Section Chief Zhou put the two documents in his black leather bag and nodded.

"That's good. The blueprints for the motorcycle weigh dozens of kilograms. We are applying for an international patent. After all, the motorcycle will be exported in the future."

"The drawings will be submitted to the Science and Technology Commission for approval in about a month. I'll have to trouble Mr. Ma then. There are also some alloy technologies, aluminum alloy engine material technologies, and gearbox material technologies. The performance of these materials is excellent, whether it is low-temperature resistance or high-temperature resistance. There are also some plastic covering material processes, and the tensile strength and ductility of the body frame, etc., have all reached world-class standards..." Li Song continued.

"No problem." Lao Ma from the Science and Technology Commission nodded. It was normal for the other party to apply for an international patent, after all, it was going to be exported.

"We can review it at any time." Lao Ma from the Science and Technology Commission added.

"That's good. I have some things to deal with when I return to Hong Kong Island tomorrow. Let's talk about it after I'm ready." Li Song nodded.

"Mr. Li, tomorrow is Sunday. If you are not in a hurry, you can play here. We have many attractions here." Lao Ma from the Science and Technology Commission said quickly.

"I have some other things to deal with." Li Song still had to go back to save the manuscript.

"Mr. Li, we have prepared a dinner tonight..." Zhang Jianshe said quickly.

"Okay, thank you." Li Song agreed immediately.

"It's okay. Mr. Li asked about bear paws last time, so we have specially prepared them this time." Zhang Jianshe said quickly.

"That would be troublesome."

"No trouble, Mr. Li, you must be tired from the journey. Just rest first. I will come and invite you in person later."

"Okay, that's troublesome." Li Song is not good at dealing with people either.

Lao Ma and the others left Li Song's room. Everyone looked at Section Chief Zhou, who said, "Don't leave yet. I'll report the situation first and then we'll talk."

"Yeah!" Lao Ma from the Science and Technology Commission, Zhang Jianshe, and Liu Qing nodded. Regardless of whether what Li Song said was true or not, the nature of the matter changed when Li Song mentioned the big black fish.

Section Chief Zhou used the hotel's internal phone. After reporting to his superior, his superior continued to report.

Zhang Jianshe, Lao Ma, Liu Qing and a few others were in a small conference room.

"Don't be nervous, Xiao Liu. You will be responsible for connecting with Mr. Li at the Science and Technology Commission in the future." Lao Ma from the Science and Technology Commission said.

Zhang Jianshe didn't say anything when he heard this. Lao Ma was the head of the Science and Technology Commission, and it was impossible for him to be responsible for connecting with every individual. That was the job of his subordinates.

Zhang Jianshe was just curious, where was Section Chief Wang from last time?
After all, an ordinary clerk is definitely not qualified to interact with foreign guests because his level is not high enough.

"Alas, the previous few times I just ran away without even having a meal, and the people below had complaints. Today, when I asked them to take over, they were unwilling to do so." Lao Ma explained.

Zhang Jianshe chuckled, "Forget about those below who don't want to work. We can't always be in leadership positions, and it's not worth offending people."

"Yes." The reason why Lao Ma said this just now was because this matter involved a high level of confidentiality and it was impossible to find someone from the Science and Technology Commission to connect with it.

"Thank you, Chief." Liu Qing knew that being in charge of foreign guests was a good way to achieve results. She was thankful she was here today, and thankful Section Chief Wang wasn't coming. Section Chief Zhou returned half an hour later and said, "The items will be sent to Kyoto by special plane for expert review. For now, only a few of us are aware of this. Furthermore, our superiors have suggested that the hotel's reception staff make adjustments."

"That's no problem. Those who receive foreign guests are very reliable." Zhang Jianshe said.

"What about Mr. Li? Is he leaving tomorrow?" asked Lao Ma.

"Mr. Li, it's up to you to decide," Section Chief Zhou said.

In the evening, Li Song saw the main course and was very happy.

"Mr. Li, this is scallion-braised bear paw, and it's the right paw." Zhang Jianshe began to introduce.

"well!"

"This is pickled tiger kidney, which is even more rare..."

“This is crispy-skinned squab.”

"If Mr. Li likes it, you can stay longer next time. We also have Golden Monkey Soup..." Zhang Jianshe said.

"Yeah, I don't really like eating primates." Li Song certainly knew what Golden Monkey Soup was. It was actually monkey brains, which was rather cruel anyway.

"Okay, we'll remember it." Zhang Jianshe said.

There are also delicious dishes such as morel stewed with wild goats, Gastrodia elata fish head, etc., and of course vegetables are indispensable, such as golden garlic spinach, leek bean sprouts, and oyster sauce lettuce.

Although Li Song knew the banquet standards in the mainland, this was his first time to have a proper meal, which included a main course, six cold dishes, six hot dishes, a soup, and finally a dessert.

Li Song just focused on eating. Zhang Jianshe was the host, and Lao Ma and the others didn't know what they were talking about.

Li Song actually hoped that Lao Ma and others would come up with some outrageous conditions, or talk about some technology or something, so that he could come up with some ideas. But since others didn't say anything and he took the initiative to say it, it felt like there was a conspiracy.

So I just had to concentrate on eating, because these things would be inedible after a certain time anyway.

After dinner, Li Song went back to rest and prepared to return to Hong Kong Island the next day.

Section Chief Zhou emphasized the discipline to several people again.

On December 30, 1979, Li Song took a boat back to Hong Kong Island and looked at the fishing boats and various other ships on the Pearl River.

"We need to get some marine outboard motors so that it will be convenient to move some things to the mainland in the future. We also need to build a transport fleet so that it will be convenient to move large items in the future." Li Song muttered to himself.

Li Song’s second-hand platform has hundreds of millions of yuan, but it is difficult to cash it out. Buying gold to cash it out is the least cost-effective, but there is no channel to buy other materials and equipment.

Even after the last time he dealt in chips, Li Song never thought about doing it a second time because the regional demand for chips was so great.

Li Song can make tens of thousands of chips, but is there a market for them?
With so many chips, will it attract other people's attention?

Moreover, under the market economy, the supply and demand relationship of materials in a region is basically balanced. If a certain area suddenly has an additional batch of the same materials, then as a material distributor in this area, will you notice it?

In addition, Li Song is alone with no background, and suddenly he has a lot of supplies. Will he be suspected?
So even though Li Song is now worth hundreds of millions on the second-hand platform, it is quite difficult to cash it out. Even if he exchanges it for gold and takes it to a bank or a gold shop, tens or hundreds of grams may be enough, but if it’s tens or hundreds of kilograms, will these gold shops and banks pay attention?
Li Song seeks stability!

Technology is easier to deal with because it is likely to come from a laboratory and is difficult to check.

In fact, it is possible to check, but it is troublesome, such as checking the composition of paper. And you may not know that different printers have their own passwords, so printing something with a printer is not as good as writing it by hand.

"When setting up an engine factory, if things don't work out, I'll just rent a cargo ship and take a trip to the high seas." Li Song feels that Hong Kong Island is not suitable for trading second-hand machinery and equipment needed to open a factory, because a lot of second-hand equipment is very sensitive and a certain committee prohibits its sale to the mainland.
