"Take a look at the case first. Our company's investment is quite special, mainly involving the licensing of some technologies. You also know that the patent I registered covers all the parts of the entire motorcycle, but it is limited by..." Li Song roughly repeated it.

"I understand." Tian Jiahui roughly understood that those free licenses for supplying products to the company would require patent fees if they were to be supplied to other companies. What he had to do was to understand the patent fees for technology licensing and related international laws.

"I'm afraid I won't be in the company until the 10th day of the first lunar month after the New Year. You should collect some relevant information during this time. When the mainland is almost done after the New Year, you and Vice President Ma will go on a business trip with me. In addition, it involves international trade, so you should pay attention to the relevant legal professionals on your side." Li Song continued.

"Okay, I understand." Tian Jiahui nodded.

Tian Jiahui went out, and then Ma Zhiwei knocked on the door and came in: "Boss, I just counted it, everyone said they want to eat roast pork rice."

"Okay, fifty Hong Kong dollars per person, that's up to you. I'll pay for this personally. The company is just starting out, so Vice President Ma should bear more responsibility." Li Song took out his wallet and charged one hundred Hong Kong dollars per person.

"Thank you, boss." Ma Zhiwei had no choice. His clothing factory caught fire and he lost a lot of money. He also owed a large loan.

If I don't find a job quickly, the bank might send me a lawyer's letter.

Moreover, Vice President Tian's words and deeds imply that he is a very powerful boss, which is why Ma Zhiwei came to this startup company.

Ma Zhiwei also found this startup company very interesting. There were only a few people, and the company was located in this kind of building. It was obvious that it had never run a company before.

Also, the boss is a bit too young. Is the company mainly investing in mainland China? I'm afraid it's not resale trading, after all, the price difference between mainland China and Hong Kong Island is quite large for many materials.

However, Ma Zhiwei had no choice, as other larger companies rejected him after seeing his financial situation.

"Go!" Li Song shook his head.

Then the finance department and the cashier came to see Li Song, and then Li Song was fine.

Li Song wrote down the company's phone number so that he could call the company directly if he had any problems in the mainland.

The lunch was very sumptuous. In 1980, the average cost per person was HK$50, which was already very good.

After lunch, Li Song did not go to the company, but strolled around Hong Kong Island. Li Song lives in Yau Ma Tei and seldom comes here.

On February 12, 1980, Li Song came to the company to attend the opening ceremony, and flower baskets had been placed at the entrance of the company.

First, offer sacrifices to the gods and burn incense. Li Song first burns incense to the God of Wealth.

Finally, Li Song gave red envelopes to everyone and everyone said auspicious words.

The opening ceremony is over.

Then Li Song left in a hurry because he had to get his driver's license. After getting it, he could drive a private car with less than 9 seats. Looking at the brand new driver's license, Li Song felt for the first time that he should buy a car.

"Let's forget about it for now. Let's talk about it after we move after the New Year." However, Li Song thought about the parking problem after buying a car. He decided to buy a high-end apartment after the New Year and then talk about it.

In the afternoon, Liu Jiale came again. The formalities for the magazine had not been completed yet. The magazine was located in Central, not far from Parkson. They rented an office building and were currently renovating and installing furniture.

There is no rush to recruit people. Although Liu Jiale has not resigned yet, he has already contacted some editors privately.

Others also have to wait until they receive their year-end bonus before leaving.

"Boss, this is the copyright contract from Nanyang Publishing House. 11% royalties, and the first print run is 300,000 copies." Liu Jiale came to deliver the contract. "Yes." Li Song nodded.

"Also, ATV will start broadcasting the TV series Ghost Blows Out the Light on February 14th and has already produced 30 episodes. 900,000 will be deposited into the boss's account when the show starts," Liu Jiale added.

Li Song nodded. The protagonist of Ghost Blows Out the Light, Hu Sijiu, was played by a man named Lin Guoxiong, the fat man was played by Fatty Hong, and Shirley Yang was played by Michelle Yim.

Fatty Hong is not from ATV. The main reason is that it is difficult to find a fat actor with good kung fu skills in Hong Kong Island, and there is no time to gain weight, so this fat guy was given the role. The big gold tooth is played by Dong Biu.

The other characters are all beautiful people.

"Well, thank you Brother Le." Li Song thanked him.

"You're welcome, boss." Liu Jiale came just to inform the news and take the manuscript written by Li Song back to the magazine because the Chinese New Year was coming soon and everyone was quite busy.

After Liu Jiale left, Li Song continued to work on his manuscript and woke up the next morning.

Get up first, wash up, go out for a run, and have breakfast at the same time.

Seeing the New Year atmosphere in the streets and alleys becoming more and more intense, Li Song felt inexplicably irritated.

But when he got home, Li Song wiped the sweat off his face from running, made a cup of strong tea and started writing, and he suddenly calmed down.

All I have in my mind are story plots, which are like scrolls in my mind, and then I express them word by word through my hands.

In the afternoon, Uncle Xun came to visit: "A Song, Happy New Year! I came to wish you a happy new year."

Uncle Xun also brought some gifts. He said, "This is a seafood gift box from the company, and this is a personal gift for you, a pot of orchid."

"Thank you, Uncle Xun. It should be me, the younger generation, who visits you." Li Song quickly accepted the gift. It was a small pot of orchid, but he didn't know what kind it was.

"You're wrong. I should be the one thanking you. The New Evening News has the highest sales in Hong Kong Island, and you have made an indelible contribution to it." Uncle Xun said.

Uncle Xun took a quick look at Li Song's residence. There was no mess or women's things, and it looked like Li Song was writing a manuscript.

"A Song, I'm very optimistic about you. I'm the first person to see your character."

"Many people lose control of themselves once they have money, and this is especially true in the literary circle. As long as they become famous, these people begin to so-called liberate themselves." Editor-in-Chief Luo said approvingly after taking the tea brewed by Li Song.

"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Xun. I'd better keep a low profile. On the one hand, I'm young, and if people knew about it, it would probably cause a lot of trouble."

"As for the rest, I don't have many friends, and compared to some useless social interactions, I think writing more is more practical." Li Song said with a smile.

"Yes, as someone who has been through this, I advise you not to smoke, not to drink, and not to be curious about other things."

"We intellectuals look down on each other. In our hearts, we look down on each other. In the years that I've been the editor-in-chief, the New Evening News has experienced its ups and downs, and I've seen a lot."

"Some people are your friends on the surface, but they are willing to push you into the well behind your back. So if your friends persuade you to drink, smoke, or take some things of unknown origin, they are not your friends, but want to laugh at you." Editor-in-Chief Luo really values ​​talent.
