Chapter 174 A Small Gift Attached to the Cargo Ship (First Update, Please Subscribe and Vote)

The mainland has not fully opened up to a market economy yet; most of it is still a planned economy. These motorcycles don't need tickets; people are scrambling to get them.

Because many families now have savings, with several members earning money, workers no longer need to worry about medical care, mortgages, or education.

Because if you're a worker, these things are covered by the factory; larger factories even have their own hospitals and schools.

Moreover, even if you had money in the past, you couldn't buy tickets without them.

BMW motorcycles don't require tickets, just money. You can buy one with money, and since the service company under the Science and Technology Commission sells them, no one is worried.

Therefore, BMW motorcycle manufacturers don't need to worry about sales.

As for the supply chain, that's not necessary either, because BMW's motorcycle factory settles accounts when the payment period is over, without delays or issuing IOUs.

Some supply chain manufacturers even demanded motorcycles as payment, meaning they wanted a batch of motorcycles in return for the money.

Li Song felt that some of the requirements could be met, since everyone would be cooperating more deeply in the future.

Li Song signed some documents that required his signature.

Then Li Song continued writing, and the two novels were almost finished this month. After that, he should get busy with his other businesses.

The next day, Li Song and Section Chief Zhou went to Kyoto together.

This time, Li Song came to a courtyard house in Houhai, where he could stay quite comfortably.

While Li Song was in Kyoto, the relevant departments in Kyoto were formulating a meticulous plan to receive the cargo ship.

"Sir, we have developed three plans. The first is for Section Chief Zhou to take the previous team to the designated location by cargo ship, and then receive the goods based on the coordinates."

"At the same time, there are two other plans. We will prepare two emergency cargo ships within a certain range around Section Chief Zhou's cargo ship, one heading towards the Korean Peninsula and the other from the north to the south."

"The final plan is for the navy to operate around 150 nautical miles away. Once Section Chief Zhou receives the cargo ship, it will head directly north into the inland sea, with the navy providing support from behind."

"The cargo ship is docked directly at the Darian Shipyard. The repair dock has been cleared out and all equipment is on standby. As soon as the cargo arrives, we will transfer it as quickly as possible. The plan is to transfer it at night and disguise it during the day."

"If the situation is urgent, then we will directly enter the port in Qingdao." The relevant departments have formulated a plan.

"Do it this way. But one more thing to be careful about is to prevent others from setting traps," the leader said.

"Yes, sir." The relevant department head nodded, because there was no room for error in such matters.

"In addition, we must pay attention to safety. After all, it's a cargo of several thousand tons. We must conduct all kinds of inspections to avoid any potential dangers." The leader was also worried that there might be some deadly weapon or harmful radiation on the cargo ship.

"Section Chief Zhou and his team will conduct preliminary inspections while on board. After the goods leave the port, they will be dispersed into transit warehouses. Everything will be protected against radiation and toxins, which serves as a practical exercise," the relevant department head continued.

"Okay!" the leader nodded.

Not far from the leader's office, Li Song and Zhu Ling were cooking together. There were ingredients in the refrigerator, and they were making noodles with soybean paste.

Li Song was in charge of cooking the noodles, Zhu Ling was in charge of slicing cucumbers into thin strips, and there were also red radishes, scallions, and blanched bean sprouts on the side.

The soybean paste was made beforehand and kept in the refrigerator. When you want to eat it, you just take out a portion and heat it up.

In summer, noodles are rinsed in cold water, then topped with shredded cucumber, shredded red radish, bean sprouts, and chopped green onions, and finally served with a glistening, oily fried sauce.

Then add some ice-cold beer, and it's simply unbeatable.

Li Song enjoyed this warm feeling, which made him feel like he was at home.

Although they weren't officially married, they were like family and got along very well. Li Song didn't ask to meet Zhu Ling's family again, and Zhu Ling didn't bring it up either. On Saturday, August 9, 1980, Li Song returned to Guangzhou from Kyoto.

On his way to the airport, Section Chief Zhou told Li Song about his upcoming task of picking up the cargo ship.

Li Song nodded: "I'll be in Guangzhou next Tuesday, don't worry, Brother Zhou."

"Hmm!" Section Chief Zhou felt his nerves were on edge because there was so much stuff on the cargo ship this time, making him extremely sensitive.

The main concern is that the cargo ship might be tracked down by the party that lost the goods, which would be troublesome as it could potentially cause an international dispute.

Section Chief Zhou, of course, had no idea that no one would track down something they had lost, since the other party hadn't lost anything at all.

Even if some countries discover F-14s or F-15s in space in the future, they will assume they are fake unless there is direct evidence.

Not to mention that the mainland will definitely not let these treasures see the sky anytime soon. By the time they can be seen from space, they will already be under manufacture and may even be in use.

“Brother Zhou, based on what I know, steam catapults are already outdated in America. The new technology now is electromagnetic catapults, but America is only just starting to research this technology.” Li Song felt that steam catapults were somewhat outdated.

Upon hearing this, Section Chief Zhou simply nodded silently, because he felt that steam catapults were already incredibly advanced technology, and as for the electromagnetic catapults that Li Song mentioned, that was too far in the future.

"We also brought some small gifts this time. You'll find out what they are once you're on board. We'll include technology and some samples," Li Song added.

"Huh?" Section Chief Zhou's eyelids twitched.

"After this, I don't know when the next opportunity will come," Li Song sighed.

Section Chief Zhou clenched his fists tightly. A small gift?

What other small gifts are on the list?

Li Song returned to Guangzhou, and then went back to Hong Kong Island.

After returning to Hong Kong Island, Li Song called Tian Jiahui: "Old Tian, ​​help me buy a few houses, in high-end places, preferably an entire floor, where I can live with my bodyguards."

“Okay, boss.” Tian Jiahui was not surprised at all when he heard this request. He guessed that it would be more convenient for Li Song to run other things by himself, since his girlfriend was living in the house now.

"Also, I'll be going on a business trip to the mainland next Monday, so I won't be coming to the company. We can talk about anything when I get back next week," Li Song added.

"Okay, boss." Baisheng Company is setting up a new subsidiary to sell motorcycles, marine outboard motors, and other products manufactured in mainland China.

Another task is to expand overseas sales channels, contact the friends on the list provided by Ma Zhiwei, and collect feedback on motorcycle usage data.

Another aspect is the collaboration with Zhang Dehua. Signing a contract is one thing, but we also need to follow up on international patent applications, and so on.

Then Li Song called Liu Jiale again: "Brother Le, have them put the written opening and outline at the magazine office. I'll come to the magazine office tomorrow because I'm going back to the mainland next Monday."

"Boss, I'll be coming to the magazine office tomorrow too. Ah Long and Boss Zou have called several times, wanting to invite you to dinner." Liu Jiale was really at his wit's end.

"Let's talk about it next week after I'm done with my work."

"By the way, how long will they be filming?"

"It'll probably be over by the end of September."

"So fast, I see." Li Song overlooked one point: filming in Hong Kong is very fast.

"Looks like I need to contact my martial uncles?" The martial uncles Li Song was referring to were a few disciples of his master's martial uncle. One of them ran a martial arts school in the jade-producing region, while the others worked as bouncers in the Buddhist Kingdom.
