Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 58: Second Generation Ford Mustang (First update, please collect, read, and vote)

Because the New Evening News has the highest sales volume in Hong Kong Island, this achievement is the greatest achievement of Editor-in-Chief Luo, and this achievement is thanks to Li Song. Now the daily sales volume of the New Evening News has reached a maximum of 36 copies, breaking the daily sales history record of Oriental Daily News in 1973.

"Also, some of the bosses in Hong Kong Island have shady backgrounds, so you should try to avoid as much contact with them as possible."

"Some bosses even resort to vile methods to threaten others, forcing them to take drugs, tying them up and taking nude photos, and so on."

"Some have shady backgrounds and questionable tendencies. Those of us who make a living by writing should still remember who our ancestors are."

Hearing this, Li Song nodded and said, "I understand, Uncle Xun."

Li Song probably knew that Uncle Xun was talking about the owner of a newspaper, who started out by selling cocaine. It seemed that he was later wanted and fled to Taiwan, but he was still the owner of a newspaper.

These people only see the benefits when doing things and will do anything to achieve their goals.

"I will retire after the Chinese New Year. I'm old, and it's time for me to take a break."

"Liu Jiale resigned. Asong, do you know about this?" Uncle Xun asked.

"Uncle Xun, I want to open a magazine. I have some ideas that I can hire someone to write for me, so I'm asking Brother Le for help." Li Song did not hide it.

"Sure. Ah Le is calm and steady, but also driven. If I leave and someone else becomes the editor-in-chief, it won't be a good thing for Ah Le."

"A new emperor appoints new ministers. It's a good thing that he can work with you." Editor-in-Chief Luo certainly knows that the workplace is actually a place of fame and fortune, full of intrigue and deception.

"Where are you going after Uncle Xun retires?" Li Song continued to ask.

"I plan to go north to see the famous scenic spots and historical sites." Editor-in-Chief Luo showed a longing look.

"It's good for Uncle Xun to go north." Li Song seemed to remember that in a later year, Uncle Xun was sentenced to ten years in prison by Amei.
When Editor-in-Chief Luo heard what Li Song said, he felt a little disappointed, thinking that Li Song wanted to invite him to join his magazine.

Of course, Li Song didn't know what Editor-in-Chief Luo was thinking, but even if he knew, he wouldn't be able to invite him because he wasn't sure if his memory was accurate.

Although Aramco is not the world's number one at this stage (at that time, the fat bear was number one, and then an exercise in 81 scared the whole of Europe and Aramco), but as a pole in the world, it is still very powerful.

"Asong, you should find some other hobbies to relax and give your brain a rest. Don't overuse your brain." Editor-in-Chief Luo spoke again.

"Thank you, Uncle Xun. I plan to buy a car and go fishing at the beach when I have nothing to do. When I have money in the future, I will buy a yacht and go fishing at sea." Li Song said with a smile.

"...You are already very rich." Editor-in-Chief Luo shook his head.

Li Song also scratched his head, because he had many places to spend money. He had to pay wages to the mainland factory, and also materials and so on.

Editor-in-Chief Luo sat for a while and then left. Li Song looked at the seafood gift box given by the New Evening News, which contained sea cucumbers and abalone, and two abalones in total.

Li Song put these things away and took them back when he returned to his hometown. The main problem was that it was troublesome to deal with sea cucumbers and abalone himself.

On February 14, 1980, Li Song had just packed up and was about to go out for a run when he heard the doorbell.

"Old Tian?" Li Song looked at Tian Jiahui who appeared at the door.

"Boss, the company's new car is downstairs. It's New Year's holiday, how about you take it and drive it?"

"Uh, let me take a look." Li Song hesitated.

When Li Song came downstairs, he saw a large off-road vehicle. Tian Jiahui quickly took Li Song to the car.

"Boss, this is a Ford Mustang, equipped with a V8 engine, costs $15,000, and the four-wheel drive can adapt to any road conditions." Tian Jiahui introduced attentively.

Li Song nodded and recognized it. This was the second generation of Ford Mustang, not many of which were produced.

Because I played some racing games in my past life, I'm quite familiar with some car models. The biggest problem with the second-generation Ford Mustang was the heavy trunk lid glass, which caused the power window motor to overheat and fail, and it also leaked. Also, with the financial crisis approaching, large-displacement cars were unpopular, and this car only had two configurations: a 5.7V8 and a 6.6V8.

So this year, Ford launched the third-generation Mustang, equipped with a 4.9-liter six-cylinder engine.

The reason why Tian Jiahui bought this off-road vehicle was because Li Song asked him to do so, because he would be going on business trips to the mainland in the future, where the road conditions were poor and he needed a sturdy car.

Another thing is that this type of car has a large space, so Li Song can put some self-defense items in it.

Of course, it's just a cover. You can put a toolbox or something in the trunk as a cover. As long as you want, you can take out individual missiles from it. As for other machine guns, it depends on the size of the toolbox.

The reason why Tian Jiahui was so proactive in delivering the car to Li Song was because he was afraid that Li Song would need the car during the Chinese New Year. Now that the car was given to Li Song, it was impossible for him to help with this and that.

"Okay, you can practice driving with me for half a day..."

"There are still some things to do at the company, how about I find someone to accompany you..."

"There's no rush for company matters. If you don't want to practice driving with me, then you can drive back."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

"But boss, be careful, this is an imported left-hand drive..."

"Yeah!" Li Song knew that the Commonwealth countries had right-hand drive, while Amei's was left-hand drive.

So Li Song and Tian Jiahui found a place to eat, and after eating they started practicing driving.

At first Li Song was indeed a little uncomfortable, but it was not a big problem.

Tian Jiahui first asked Li Song to practice in a place with fewer vehicles, and then in a place with more people, such as the city.

This training took most of the day, and Li Song found an underground parking lot near his home.

There are already a lot of cars in Hong Kong Island at this time, and many roadsides are full of parked vehicles. Of course, parking spaces are required on the roadside.

However, roadside parking spaces are not very safe, and underground parking lots are relatively safer.

"Old Tian, ​​do you know any real estate agent who can help me find a house that costs around one million and is quiet?" Li Song said as he and Tian Jiahui came out of the underground parking lot.

"Okay, boss."

"Boss, I'm leaving first." Tian Jiahui saw an empty taxi and ran away after saying this. Today is Valentine's Day, and if he goes back later, he won't be able to explain to his wife.

"Okay!" Li Song was not thinking about Matsuda Jiahui.

Today is Valentine's Day, but Li Song was busy writing at home. Because he practiced driving during the day, he wrote until midnight, and then quickly washed up and went to bed.

The next morning, I got up, washed up, found a place to eat, and then drove. I also bought a pack of cigarettes for the security guard in the underground parking lot, asking him to help take care of my car.

Today Li Song set out on the road alone. He first went to a welding place and customized a large toolbox, which took up a large area of ​​the trunk. He specifically asked that it be made sturdy and able to hang two large locks.

Usually, there are some car repair jacks, large wrenches and the like. Once there is a danger, these tools may appear on the second-hand platform, and things on the second-hand platform will appear here.

Of course, once this safety line was breached, Li Song felt that he would most likely have to run away.

The toolbox is big enough to hold an automatic rifle and a few RPGs... that's enough.
