Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 170 Eight Thousand Tons! Not eight tons! Not eighty tons either! (Second update, please subscribe and vote!)

Because manufacturing certain aircraft components requires temperature-controlled workshops, and some core equipment also has cleanliness requirements.

“Okay, okay, this is the ship number.” Ma Shengli had already prepared it.

"In addition, the large-scale chemical technology and core equipment are all on the ship, which is the oil parameters you gave us last time."

"The reactor, pumps, dust removal equipment, separation tower, heat exchanger, heating furnace, crystallization equipment—we have complete technical drawings and processes for all of these," Li Song said.

Petrochemical equipment, such as reaction vessels, is usually produced in parallel by multiple units to achieve multiple batches of production. This also facilitates maintenance and repair, rather than requiring a single set of equipment.

For example, a 100,000-ton project might have 8-12 pieces of equipment connected in parallel, so a single reactor or similar device doesn't need to be too large.

Li Song did want to develop something with a capacity of one million tons, but the core equipment was too large and too heavy.

Moreover, a 100,000-ton capacity is currently suitable for inland areas, but how much would it cost to build a million-ton capacity petrochemical plant?

"Okay, okay, okay!" Ma Shengli said repeatedly when he received the list from Li Song.

In fact, Ma Shengli didn't understand either. He was indeed from the Science and Technology Commission, but there was too much science and technology, and large chemical equipment also came in many different types.

Of course, Li Song didn't understand any of this either.

Li Song didn't worry about the rest, such as transporting automobile processing equipment and aircraft manufacturing equipment here.

Ma Shengli hurried off to report on his work, while Li Song happened to be in a meeting at the BMW motorcycle factory.

Because BMW motorcycles will be launched and sold in August.

At that time, industrial products were very expensive. An imported motorcycle cost several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan, while a domestically produced one cost two or three thousand yuan, and there were very few of them, because most of them required ration coupons.

After conducting research and cost accounting, BMW Motorrad set the ex-factory price of 1300 for the 80cc model and 2000 for the 125cc model.
BMW motorcycles were sold directly through a service company under the Science and Technology Commission, which was also responsible for after-sales maintenance and training of repair personnel, thus solving the employment problem for some of the children of Science and Technology Commission members.

We are currently producing just over 300 motorcycles a day, which is far from enough to meet demand. The service company under the Science and Technology Commission has already received orders for more than 20,000 motorcycles.

This is still only for BMW's motorcycle factory, which has only received pre-orders for two months' worth of production.

And the buyer pays in full upfront and waits for the car...

In other words, BMW Motorrad has nearly 30 million yuan in cash on its books.

Li Song knew that motorcycle prices would rise further, because with marketization, the prices of various goods would increase significantly.

Li Song's goal with this low-end motorcycle is to achieve high sales volume and a good reputation. He plans to launch various models in the future, including 150cc, 250cc, 500cc, 750cc, and 900cc road bikes, touring bikes, and off-road bikes.

Because Li Song knew that the two most common motorcycle models in China would be 80cc and 125cc.

Li Song plans to build two more motorcycle production lines to reach an annual output of 30 units. He plans to focus on producing large-displacement motorcycles later and will not expand production of small-displacement motorcycles.

After listening to the report, Li Song felt that doing business was so good now; as long as it was an industrial product, there was no worry about sales.

"Old Ma, do you have any friends doing business in Africa or Southeast Asia? How about we send him a few motorcycles so he can try them out?" Li Song asked Ma Zhiwei after the meeting, keeping him behind.

"Yes." Ma Zhiwei nodded quickly.

"Then you should go back to Hong Kong Island and take care of this matter."

“Okay!” Ma Zhiwei nodded. He knew a lot of people from his previous clothing business, and they came in handy at this time.

Li Song plans to establish a sales company on Hong Kong Island to export and sell motorcycles. This company will also be a subsidiary of Parkson Company.

At this time, Ma Shengli was already reporting to his superiors in Guangzhou.

These people felt their scalps tingle as they looked at the list of goods that Ma Shengli handed over.

Because the cargo being transported on this ship is too sensitive.

"Too...too...!" The person in charge from Kyoto could only say "too" twice in a row, and couldn't continue, because there was simply no way to describe it.

Three fighter jets! And the related technology and blueprints!
A steam catapult weighing hundreds of tons!
Almost a complete set of textile equipment and blueprints!
It includes almost complete sets of petrochemical equipment, core equipment such as reactors and reaction towers, as well as large-scale chemical technology and process drawings!

The core production equipment and technical drawings for civil aircraft. Also included are parts for a medium- to long-range passenger aircraft.

There are also parts for a small business jet.

There is also an 8,000-ton cargo ship.

How did these people manage to take all this stuff away so quietly?
This 8,000-ton cargo ship can simply be renamed on the high seas outside the Yellow Sea.

Is there anything these people can't do?
But who exactly are these people?

Of course, the higher authorities did not actively seek out these people; they simply did not find any clues in the intelligence they had previously collected.

The thought of the forces behind this matter shocked everyone present, and then sent chills down their spines.

Now let's talk about how these people managed to get their hands on the other side's strategic weapons.

For example, the Blackfish, bombers, reconnaissance planes, and so on.

For example, America's most advanced intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Those present will also believe it.

"I'll send this to Kyoto right away, tonight!"

"This matter is of utmost importance!"

"We shouldn't have too much hope until things succeed!" The person in charge from Kyoto still couldn't quite believe it.

"Yes!!" The others present nodded.

That evening, the list was delivered to Kyoto.

Although the higher authorities knew about it, they didn't have a specific date or a list, so everyone was skeptical.

Now we have a specific delivery date and a specific loading list.

The higher-ups were also feeling a bit uneasy.

That's an incredible amount of energy.

The processing equipment and blueprints used in the past were relatively small.

Those three fighter jets!
There are also petrochemical equipment, these are all huge pieces of equipment, look at the height of this reaction tower!
We also have complete sets of textile equipment!

There are also all the parts for the two aircraft.

There are also equipment for manufacturing airplanes.

This is an 8,000-ton cargo ship!
Eight thousand tons! Not eight tons! Not eighty tons!
Loading these things onto the ship and then transporting them here involves so many procedures.

And how were so many things loaded onto one ship? Was it in one port or several ports?

Or perhaps a transport ship with its own crane could be used.

"This Li Song seems to have some influence within their organization!"

"He said it would be great to have a private jet, and I never expected that we would actually have one!"

"And the magazine he ran actually exported animated films to Hollywood!"

"The Shanghai Animation Film Studio is the first foreign trade order that the cultural sector has received!" Several leaders from higher-level departments sat together, and after everyone had finished reading, it took them a while to digest the information before someone finally spoke up.

"I think Li Song's public appearance now is probably for a deeper reason!"

"It should be that the person behind him has to go quiet."

"But we're also worried about something happening to him, so we're making him famous now?" one leader asked, speculating.
