Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 336: A rocket will be launched in a few days
Hu Jiangshan's performance was surprising. His behavior, manners, and conversation were impeccable.

Of course, what Hu Jiangshan said was a bit shocking.

Facilities like the space launch site are very far away and out of reach for everyone present, including the big guys.

They are all smart people and are not easily fooled. They don't really believe that what Hu Jiangshan said is true.

However, Hu Jiangshan acted very calm and composed, and there was no sign of lying in his eyes. He even invited Madam Lin to watch the rocket launch on site. He seemed very confident, which made people feel suspicious.

But Lin Yu'e was indeed very happy. She was in a much better mood than before and talked more.

Everyone is very tactful and will not say anything irrelevant or spoil the fun.

Just like that, the cocktail party came to an end in a very good atmosphere.

After a while, Lin Yu'e said goodbye to everyone and left first.

No one was surprised, as Lin Yu'e was very busy and it was impossible for her to attend a complete cocktail party. At the same time, people were relieved, as once Lin Yu'e left, everyone could do whatever they wanted and speak freely.

At this time, Lin Yu'e looked at Hu Jiangshan and said, "Hu...how should I address you?"

Hu Jiangshan immediately said, "Madum, my name is Hu Jiangshan, you can just call me Xiao Hu."

"I want to know, are you serious about doing a rocket launch experiment?"

Yuan Caihua and Hu Wenxin were both a little nervous. On the one hand, they wanted Hu Jiangshan to show up, but on the other hand, they didn't want Hu Jiangshan to brag.

If you make big promises but fail to deliver on them, you will be embarrassed.

Hu Jiangshan replied solemnly: "Madum, don't worry, I am serious and will never speak nonsense."

Lin Yu'e smiled slightly, and seemed very satisfied with Hu Jiangshan's answer: "Okay, Xiao Hu, this is my business card. If you have any news about the rocket launch, please inform me as soon as possible. No matter how busy I am, I will go to show my support."

As she spoke, Lin Yu'e took out a business card from her bag and handed it over.

Hu Jiangshan immediately took the business card with both hands, looked down and saw that it was a phone number from the Hong Kong Government Secretariat.

This is also normal. Lin Yu'e's private phone number would never be disclosed to anyone casually.

Everyone else saw Lin Yu'e's actions, and they had different expressions and thoughts.

The happiest couple were of course Hu Wenxin and Yuan Caihua. Hu Wenxin was even more excited than Yuan Caihua. After all, his son did not embarrass him in such an important occasion like he did before. He was even very proud of himself. It could be said that his fortunes had turned around and the emancipated serfs were singing their praises.

Of course, after the excitement, Hu Wenxin was also a little worried.

Hu Wenxin couldn't help but say to Yuan Caihua, "Is the space launch site in Ashan real or fake? Do you know?"

Yuan Caihua rolled her eyes and said, "Then you have to ask Ah Shan. How would I know? I don't understand these things."

Hu Jiangshan just went to the bathroom and came back to sit.

Hu Wenxin couldn't wait to ask in a low voice: "Ashan, is everything okay with the space launch site?"

"Huh? What's the problem?"

"Can it really launch a rocket?"

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem. The launch site is almost ready, and the rocket will be launched soon."

"Oh, what's the success rate? It won't fail, right? I mean, the rocket won't fall out of the sky, right?"

"The rocket will definitely fall."

"Ah? This..."

"Dad, as long as the rocket is launched to a certain height, even if it succeeds, the wreckage will definitely fall down, but it will fall into the sea, so there won't be any problem."

Hu Wenxin is not a fool. He naturally knows that when the rocket reaches a certain height, the first stage of the rocket will separate and fall down.

Hu Jiangshan added: "Although we cannot guarantee that the launch will be 100% successful, we can at least guarantee it is more than 90% successful."

Seeing his son's confidence, Hu Wenxin finally calmed down. "Ashan, work harder these days and try to ensure a 100% success rate. Don't let anything go wrong. If you need any help, such as manpower, a car, or a yacht, please let me know and I'll help you."

Yuan Caihua, who was listening nearby, immediately said, "What if my son is short of money?"

"…Lack of money? It's no problem if you need money. I have some here. Tell dad anytime and I promise to help you solve it."

"cut."

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "Okay, Dad, I feel relieved with your words. I will definitely go all out to make the rocket launch a complete success."

Hu Wenxin smiled with relief and patted Hu Jiangshan on the shoulder.

At this time, other people were also talking, whispering, and expressing their opinions. The topic was always about Hu Jiangshan and his space launch site.

"It seems that Hu Jiangshan really has a space launch site."

"Of course there is, but I don't know if it's the case."

"The construction period of a space launch site should be very long, right? When did he start preparing? How come I have never heard of it?"

"Who knows? But if it's just a simple launch site, it shouldn't take long to build. Just build a launch pad!"

"Oh, is it that simple? If it is that simple, let's make one too.

"It's definitely not that simple. Let's just wait and see when he can really launch a rocket."

"Do you really think he can launch a rocket successfully?"

"Hey! I'm not that naive. There are so many countries in the world, but how many can actually successfully launch a rocket into space? Even developed countries like Smecta can't do it."

At that time, although Smecta was very strong in consumer electronics, such as mobile phones, LCD screens, batteries, and even shipbuilding, it was a giant, but Smecta's aerospace industry was indeed blank.

In the following years, Smecta conducted several rocket launch tests, but the results were more failures than successes, which was very bleak.

It’s amazing that Simida always regards itself as a space power. It’s really too arrogant.

So although launching a rocket may seem simple for a big country, the technical threshold is actually very high.

Of course, although you are not experts in aerospace, you do have some common sense and know that the success of a rocket launch depends largely on the quality of the rocket itself. As long as the rocket is of high quality, well designed, and the engine is fine, the impact of the launch site will not be that great.

At this time, Li Changxi fell into deep thought.

Li Changxi knew very well that Hu Jiangshan had indeed built a rocket launch site, and it seemed to be of high specifications, but Li Changxi remained skeptical as to whether it could be used.

I didn’t expect Hu Jiangshan to be so bold. He actually said that he would launch a rocket in the near future and would invite Lin Yu’e to watch it on site.

Li Changxi felt that Hu Jiangshan was being mysterious and would do anything to show up on such occasions. In fact, he was weak inside and the launch site was not ready at all, and perhaps it would never be ready.

Guo Zhenning, who was sitting next to him, picked up the glass and clinked it with Li Changxi's, and they both drank it in one gulp.

"Master Xi, do you think Hu Jiangshan is really going to launch a rocket?"

Li Changxi said: "Even if he wants to launch a rocket, it will take half a year, and it is impossible to be ready in the short term."

"That's true." After a while, Guo Zhenning said, "If he really launches a rocket, it will be a big deal. It will definitely cause a sensation in Hong Kong Island. Hu Jiangshan will be in the limelight, and the Hu family will also benefit greatly."

"What are you saying? Isn't it because of the Hu family that he is where he is now?"

"That's true. By the way, Xi Shao, you seem to be quite busy recently. What are you busy with?"

Li Changxi was stunned for a moment, then said, "What are you busy with? I'm just preparing for a new project."

"What project? Commercial project? Residential project?"

"It's not decided yet. Come on, Xi Shao, let's not talk about this. Let's just have a drink."

As he spoke, Guo Zhenning waved to the waiter again. The waiter brought a few glasses of wine and the two started drinking again.

As mentioned earlier, Li Changxi received Bill Gates some time ago, and the two sides were discussing an important cooperation project, which is also a space launch site.

Li Changxi took Bill Gates to see the vacant land where the space launch site was to be built. Gates thought it was okay at the time, but he felt that the area was not big enough to build a small space launch site. Any larger would not be enough.

Now Geis has gone back and said he wants to consider whether to move forward with the project. Li Changxi is waiting for his news.

In fact, Li Changxi had already prepared a large sum of money and was determined to build a space launch site so as not to let Hu Jiangshan take the lead.

Thinking of this, Li Changxi looked at Hu Jiangshan again and frowned involuntarily.

Although Hu Jiangshan was behaving very low-key, just drinking his drink silently without even touching the alcohol, saying nothing and remaining silent, Li Changxi still couldn't stand him at all. He thought this guy was being too pretentious and he was secretly happy about it.

Guo Zhenning noticed that Li Changxi had been staring at Hu Jiangshan, and said, "Come on, Young Master Xi, let's talk to him."

"what?"

Before Li Changxi could react, Guo Zhenning came over with a glass of wine.

Li Changxi thought about it and walked over. He also wanted to hear how Hu Jiangshan would argue.

Guo Zhenning was also a tough guy. He asked Hu Jiangshan straight to the point: "Mr. Hu, I'm quite curious. When can your space launch site launch a rocket? Can we go to the site to take a look?"

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "Sure. The rocket launch is tentatively scheduled for next week, which is about four or five days away. You are all welcome to watch it live."

“…Huh? What?”

Guo Zhenning was already stunned, and Li Changxi was even more dumbfounded.

"Next week? Can we launch a rocket next week?"

"Yes, next week."

"No way, so fast? Are you sure?"

Hu Jiangshan smiled and replied, "Of course I will let you know when the time comes. You must come and show your support."

"This……"

Guo Zhenning was already mentally disturbed and turned to look at Li Changxi.

Li Changxi opened his mouth so wide that his jaw almost dropped. It was obvious that his mental state was not in a good state either.

Hu Jiangshan's words are too ridiculous. How is it possible to launch a rocket in a few days? He must be kidding!

However, Hu Jiangshan seemed to be really serious. He actually said the same thing to other bigwigs and solemnly invited them to go to the scene to watch the grand ceremony of the rocket launch.

Hu Jiangshan started chatting with Yuan Caihua again and asked her if she knew any friends in the media. He wanted to promote the space launch site and the upcoming rocket launch.

When Yuan Caihua heard this, she smiled and said, "This is easy to handle. Leave it to me, your mother! I will definitely do it for you. By the way, send me all the information and I will find someone to do it."

Yuan Caihua's confidence is well-founded. She has nothing else to do in her daily life except socializing with rich ladies, and has a very wide network of contacts.

Many of Yuan Caihua’s social circle friends work in the media, including magazines, online media, and self-media. They are all doing well and have considerable influence.

After the cocktail party, Hu Jiangshan returned to the Victoria Harbour Apartments and immediately sent the information about the space launch site to Yuan Caihua via email. Then he waited to see the results.

Early the next morning, Hu Jiangshan got up from bed. It was almost noon and he had a long sleep.

Hu Jiangshan felt a little headache, and there were two or three small bumps on his forehead, which hurt when touched.

Hu Jiangshan has had too many things to do recently, and he is a little anxious and angry.

Hu Jiangshan was washing up when his cell phone rang.

【Caller ID: Feng Hua】

Hu Jiangshan quickly drank two sips of water, spit out the toothpaste, and then answered the phone. Feng Hua's cheerful voice came from the other end.

"Mr. Hu, I have already made arrangements here. I have notified about a dozen people. At most, about 20 people can come. They are all good friends. Let's go to the old place at 7 o'clock in the evening. You must be there on time."

"Okay, no problem. Thank you very much, Huazi."

"What are you talking about? Who are we related to? By the way, Mr. Hu, can you tell us what you want to tell everyone? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"

Hu Jiangshan smiled: "Of course it is a good thing, and a very good thing. You will know when the time comes."

"Okay, then I'm relieved."

Hu Jiangshan hung up the phone, put on his clothes and went out.

Hu Jiangshan went to the tea restaurant near Victoria Harbour as usual. The waiters were familiar with him and kept greeting him.

"What would you like to order, sir?"

"Let's just keep the usual ones."

"Okay, sit down wherever you want, and I'll bring it to you right away."

"it is good."

Soon, the food and a cup of iced coffee were brought to Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Jiangshan was eating and drinking while checking his cell phone.

In fact, in Hong Kong Island, the behavior of eating while looking at mobile phones is not as common as in the mainland. It may be because of different habits.

But Hu Jiangshan didn't care about all that. He continued to do as he pleased, doing whatever he wanted. No one cared about him anyway.

At this time, Hu Jiangshan received a short message.

[Great news: Hong Kong Island has its own space launch site, and a rocket will be launched in the near future. If you are interested, you must watch it! ]

The message also included a link.

Hu Jiangshan clicked and directly opened the Tuita APP.
