Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 383: The Powerful Alliance of Malak and Gus

Fang Xiaoya took a bite of the dessert and said, "Boss Hu is really modest, unlike what others say."

Hu Jiangshan asked: "What do others say about me?"

Fang Xiaoya smiled but said nothing.

Hu Jiangshan said: "I know even if you don't say it, you probably don't have anything good to say. If I continue to be like that, you won't be able to sit here in peace."

Fang Xiaoya looked up and asked, "Were you really like that before? Is what others said true?"

Hu Jiangshan coughed lightly: "It's hard to say, it's very complicated."

It is really hard to say about Hu Jiangshan. Does he admit that he was a bad person in the past and has turned over a new leaf now?
Others may not believe it either.

To be honest, if Hu Jiangshan was still the bad guy he used to be, Fang Xiaoya really wouldn't dare to be alone with him, otherwise she would definitely suffer the consequences.

After Hu Jiangshan and Fang Xiaoya finished their meal, they went for coffee and continued chatting.

After the chat, the two realized that more than two hours had passed, but they still felt like they hadn't said enough.

At the same time, on the other side of the big wave, there is a small island in the Caribbean Sea.

This small island is called Mars Island. It is not large in area, but has beautiful scenery, especially the surrounding waters, which are clean and clear, and the ecological environment is extremely perfect.

There is a manor on Mars Island, which includes a luxurious villa, a golf course, a tennis court, a private airport, a private dock, and even a small lighthouse.

This island is a private island. It is definitely not cheap and only the richest people can afford it. This is indeed the case. This Martian island is Aaron Malak's island.

In fact, the name of this island was given by Malak himself, so it is called Mars Island.

As we all know, Malak has a special liking for Mars, and he has even decided to land on Mars and colonize it in a few years.

At this time, next to the private swimming pool on one side of the big villa on Mars Island, under a few coconut trees, a person was lying on a beach chair next to the swimming pool, drinking juice, looking at the screen of his mobile phone from time to time, and then pressing a few buttons.

And in the swimming pool, a beautiful woman is swimming and playing.

That beautiful woman was none other than Malak’s current girlfriend, Claire.

The young and beautiful Claire is a Canadian singer and has become Malak's new love in the past two years.

Claire swam for a while and said, "Honey, do you want to swim for a while?"

Malak glanced at Claire and waved his hand: "Wait a minute, baby, let me finish posting this first."

"Oh, come on, honey, you should move your body."

As she spoke, Claire looked at Malak's big belly.

Malak used to be a healthy, strong man.

But maybe Malak's life has been a little too comfortable recently.

In particular, Tesla's super factory in China was completed and put into production in just a few months, and its production capacity was instantly fully utilized, so that Tesla's electric vehicles began to be delivered in large quantities.

Tesla has finally managed to escape the bankruptcy crisis and has even begun to end its losses and enter the profit channel.

This made Malak, who had been under tremendous pressure, suddenly feel relaxed and live a carefree and comfortable life.

I have to say that China's infrastructure and production capacity are really good. They even saved the technological superstar Malak, so much so that now the time Malak spends tweeting on the tower is increasing.

There's nothing I can do, it's just that Malak is too idle right now.

This is also the real reason why Malak has gained weight recently.

Let him gain weight. Aaron Malak is a man who cares about the colonization of Mars and doesn't care about these little details.

After Malak sent this tweet, he smiled slightly, put his phone on the small table beside him, looked at Claire's perfect figure while swimming, and couldn't help but pick up his phone to take a look at the tweet.

Sure enough, the number of reposts, comments, and likes has soared to Mars.

Malak may be one of the top five internet celebrities on the entire Blue Planet. Just posting an emoticon on Twitter can achieve such an effect and cause crazy interpretations from netizens all over the Blue Planet - does Mr. Malak's expression mean that he has some new ideas or thoughts?
Anyway, Malak enjoyed the effect very much. Life was simply wonderful.

Malak tore off the towel from his body, slid into the swimming pool, and played happily with Claire.

A moment later, the sound of propellers was heard in the sky.

Claire asked in surprise, "Honey, who's here?"

Malak said, "It should be Mr. Ghaith who is here."

“Bill Gass?”

Malak nodded, "Yes, baby, I asked him to come."

Claire curled her lips. "Are we going to talk about work again? Didn't you say we'd spend this week on vacation?"

Malak chuckled: "That's good, we're just chatting for a while, it won't affect your vacation mood, baby."

Claire nodded.

To be honest, if Malak wasn't a workaholic, Claire might not like him.

It's true that Malak is rich, but he is also very capable, which is his charm.

Malak climbed out of the swimming pool. At this time, Bill Gates was led over by the servants.

Bill Gates is still as elegant, handsome and dashing as ever.

You have to know that Geis is now in his sixties, a dozen years older than Malak, but Geis has maintained himself well and looks not much older than Malak.

Of course, the rich people in the Beacon Country have their own ways to fight aging, some of which are quite dark, but Gus doesn't use them much. He still has a bottom line. His condition is basically due to good habits and mentality.

Ghaith saw the beauties in the swimming pool and said, "Mr. Malak, am I disturbing you?"

Malak waved his hands. "No, no, how could that be, Mr. Gus, let her have her fun, let's go get something to drink."

Malak said something to Claire, then walked to the villa with Gus and sat down opposite each other.

Soon servants came with various juices and fruit plates.

Gus chose ice water.

Malak chose a glass of mango juice: "Mr. Guess is still so self-disciplined, I should be blushing."

Gus said, "We're both very disciplined people, aren't we?"

"Indeed, I agree." Although Malak was not as strict with himself as Gus in some small habits in life, he was much harder on himself than Gus at work.

You have to know that Gass had suffered a lot when he started his business in the garage. Microsoft's operating system soon achieved a monopoly on Blue Star, and Gass no longer suffered so much. He began to enjoy life and do charity all over Blue Star.

Malak's entrepreneurial journey was not as smooth as Gass's. Some time ago, Tesla had a large number of orders, but it almost went bankrupt due to delivery problems. At that time, Malak lived in the factory and even had to screw in the screws himself.

Malak really endured all these hardships.

There's nothing we can do about it, since Malak always chooses some particularly cutting-edge industries.

In fact, this is also an event that can reflect Malak's ability.

Ghaith took a sip of ice water and asked, "Mr. Malak, do you have anything to tell me?"

Malak smiled slightly: "Mr. Gus, you should have guessed it, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have agreed to come."

"Is it about the spaceport?"

"Yes, China has basically agreed to our demand for SpaceX to build a space launch site, but we need to provide a complete site selection plan. Mr. Gass, you should know that this is not easy. The several plots of land we selected previously do not meet the requirements."

"I heard that too. So Mr. Malak wants to cooperate with us?"

Malak nodded. "Yes, I heard that Mr. Gass found a very good piece of land in Hong Kong Island. It is very rare. Hong Kong Island is an ideal location for space launches. I hope to cooperate with Mr. Gass in this regard."

Gus was not surprised by what Malak said.

It’s no secret that Mei Si went to Hong Kong Island some time ago.

And many people knew that Geis had gone to look at the land, was satisfied with it, and was now planning for a space launch site.

As mentioned earlier, it was Li Changxi who helped find the land on Hong Kong Island, and it can be said that he put in a lot of effort.

Ghaith asked, "How do you want to cooperate? I want to hear your plan first."

Malak replied, "I think so. Mr. Geiss provides the land and part of the funds, and we, SpiceX, provide part of the funds and technology. We work closely together and will definitely be able to build the space launch site as soon as possible."

Gus smiled and said, "Mr. Malak, I believe you should know that I also have an excellent technical team."

"Yes, some of the technicians are from our SpaceX, and they are all excellent."

It's not uncommon for Gass to poach players from SpaceX.

Major technology companies are very accustomed to this kind of thing and have long been accustomed to it.

As long as the core technical personnel are not poached, everyone will rationally regard it as a normal flow of talent.

And Bill Gates has a bottom line. He does things just right and won't do anything that would anger someone like Malak.

Gass was very knowledgeable about Eastern philosophy, at least on the surface he knew a lot.

Keep a line as a human being so that we can meet each other easily in the future.

Malak said, "Mr. Gais, I have to remind you that although your technical team is very professional, the technical solutions they provide may not be the latest and most advanced, and may even be a little outdated. Since we are going to build a space launch site in China, we must have the most advanced and gorgeous solutions. We must let the Chinese know that our Lighthouse Country's technology is unparalleled and they can't keep up."

After hearing this, Gus fell silent.

Gass is a very smart entrepreneur and cannot be fooled by a few words from others, even if the other party is Aaron Malak.

What Malak said is indeed true. It is true that Geis has a technical team, but it is also true that the technical level may not be the most advanced.

After all, SpaceX is an advanced commercial aerospace company, at the top of the entire blue planet, and Gates has no such reliance. His technical team is not as big as the R&D department of SpaceX, and the technology is definitely backward. Bill Gates still admits this self-knowledge.

Gates said: "I admit this, but our cooperation can't be that simple, right?"

Malak nodded. "Indeed, we should both be more cautious in formulating a cooperation plan. I just said it roughly. We still need further contact between our teams. But first of all, we both need to have the sincerity to cooperate. Don't you agree?"

"Yes, I agree with this."

As he spoke, Gus raised his glass.

With a "ding" sound, the two people's cups clinked together, and then each took a sip.

The tone was set, and Geis agreed to negotiate cooperation with Malak.

This was a good start, and Malak was certainly happy.

At this time, Gus suddenly said: "But the problem is that there is now a space launch site in Hong Kong Island. Mr. Malak should know this, right?"

Malak nodded: "Of course I know this, and I also know that the space launch site is on Tamron Island. If my information is accurate, Mr. Gates should be familiar with Tamron Road."

"Of course, that Tenglong Road used to be my property, but it was later bought by someone, and that person..."

"That man is the owner of the spaceport. Has Mr. Geis talked to him before?"

"Yes, of course I have."

Ghaith gave a wry smile and added, "But he refused. He refused decisively and built the space launch site himself. It was completed in just a few months. The speed was amazing. To be honest, I don't know what method he used."

Malak was silent for a few seconds and said, "This is indeed a big question. How did he build a space launch and even successfully operate it in such a short time? But from what I know about the Chinese, they can do it. They have amazing efficiency."

Malak was deeply aware of China's infrastructure mania.

After all, a project as large as Tesla's super factory would be difficult to complete within five years if it were in the Beacon Country, or even any other country. It might even take more time, but in China it only takes a few months.

Gus asked, "Mr. Malak, what do you think of the technology at the Tamron Island Spaceport?"

Malak said: "I don't know the details yet, but it is true that the other party has carried out a successful rocket launch. However, Mr. Geis, I can assure you that I am confident that I can defeat any opponent in terms of technology, including the owner of Tenglong Island."

Malak is a very paranoid and confident person, but only those who know him know it.

Hearing Malak say this, Geis gained a little more confidence.

This is obvious because SpaceX's reusable rocket technology is unique in the entire blue planet.

The cost advantage of a recoverable rocket launch solution is simply too great.

“Maybe we can talk about working together,” Gass said.

Malak smiled. "Okay, I think our powerful combination will surprise China's commercial aerospace companies and the China Space Administration. We can not only accept orders from most of the Chinese aerospace companies."

Gass said: "We can also accept all orders from Southeast Asia!"
