Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 371 is used for large-item logistics transportation (5200+ words)

Li Song has not yet made a definitive decision regarding the film rights for Star Mercenaries.

Because Li Song didn't know what Lucas's plans were!
If Lucas plans to release his first film within two years, he can request a pure box office revenue sharing model.

Because it was only 1983 at that time, it was even possible that the second film also adopted the box office sharing model!

Of course, if the first film becomes a box office hit, then Li Song can choose to sell all of them outright!

Because the relationship between Amer and the mainland will definitely not be harmonious in the future, and then European and American countries will impose sanctions on them.

So he made a quick buck and ran away, figuring that the Hollywood companies would be the ones losing money anyway.

We'll see if Hollywood studios will continue adapting their own novels then!
"Li, you must wait for me!"

"I'm the most experienced in this area!"

“Other film companies simply haven’t achieved such good results,” Lucas quickly added.

“Of course!!” Li Song nodded.

"Li, you've applied for patents for two transport aircraft?"

"These two transport planes aren't ordinary transport planes, are they?" Lucas immediately asked again.

"This is a special transport aircraft we designed for transporting large and bulky items."

“Some hydropower projects are being planned in the mainland, and some of the components for these hydropower units are difficult to transport by land.”

"So we designed two transport aircraft that can take off and land in the field!" Li Song guessed that Lucas must have been asked to find out this information by someone.

There is indeed no precedent for applying for a patent for military transport aircraft.

But as long as I don't say it's a military transport aircraft, who would dare to say it's a military transport aircraft?
Moreover, Li Song only applied for a design plan, which is the overall structure and appearance!
These are no secrets; the most crucial aspect is the aircraft manufacturing process.

Li Song is right; there is a good market for B-type transport aircraft used to transport large items.

Lucas was indeed commissioned by a certain department to inquire about information regarding these transport planes.

Although the patent application has not yet been published, relevant departments in Europe and the United States obtained some information after Zhang Dehua submitted the application to the patent office.

When relevant departments in Europe and the United States saw the patent applications for these two transport aircraft, their first thought was that it was impossible.

My second feeling was that everything went black!
Thirdly, report it immediately!

Because these two transport aircraft are exceptionally well-designed.

Now no one says it will take three to five years, or even five to eight years, to see other people's planes take off.

Because I just got proven wrong again!
However, the relevant departments have not yet received the complete patent design, so they cannot conduct an evaluation yet!
However, judging from the initial patent application parameters we obtained, it's outrageous.

And frankly, these relevant departments no longer believe the experts' conclusions!
However, the necessary procedures must be followed!
Lucas shrugged as he heard this on the other end of the phone. Anyway, someone had asked him to ask this question for them, and he thought Li Song's answer was reasonable: "Alright then, I look forward to our meeting!"

"I also wish your movie great success!" Li Song said, guessing that someone was listening in on the call.

"Of course, I'll probably arrive on Hong Kong Island in early July!"

“I have a lot to share with you, and I’d like to hear your opinion,” Lucas said.

"Of course, me too," Li Song replied perfunctorily.

Then Li Song hung up the phone. That's how relevant agencies in Europe and America operate; they plant people everywhere.

They would even set traps for these international students, and once they fell into the traps, they would threaten them.

Later, some international students from other countries reported that relevant institutions in Europe and the United States required these international students to provide services to them, otherwise they would refuse to grant them visas.

The car dealer conference is scheduled for around May 20th, so Parkson Company is already preparing promotional materials.

There are three types of minivans and four types of sedans.

There are a total of seven models.

In the evening, Li Song accompanied Ah Ling to see the movie "National Treasure".

The film National Treasure was screened simultaneously worldwide.

Ah Long's performance style is becoming more and more mature!

However, it was precisely because Ah Long's performance style was so strong that he had difficulty transitioning to other roles later on.

In the films he made later, he naturally brought out this style.

Li Song disguised himself so well that no one recognized him.

Arlene was also very happy. The fact that Li Song, with his current status, could accompany her to the movies proved that she was still very important to him.

Arlene had once hoped that if she stayed with Li Song for a long time, he might eventually make her his official wife.

However, Li Song's reputation is growing and his influence is increasing.

Look at the newspapers and news reports on Hong Kong Island.

Arlene is thinking that things are fine as they are now.

Moreover, Arlene knew that her current status and position were all given to her by Li Song.

Ah Lin is also known as a beautiful host in Hong Kong Island. She hosts a million-dollar quiz show and exudes an intellectual beauty.

Of course, this persona was deliberately created by the TV station.

Arlene knows her own limitations!
Moreover, Arlene also knew that hosting this program didn't actually require much hosting skill.

Because they just sit there and repeat the same few sentences over and over, using those few sentences to create a tense atmosphere.

Furthermore, Arlene also knows that she will have some endorsements in the future, as cosmetics companies will want her to be their spokesperson!

After watching the movie with A-Lin, Li Song took her for a walk outside, but they didn't go to any crowded places!

Li Song also didn't want to go to crowded places because it would put a lot of pressure on security.

That evening, Arlene arrived at Li Song's residence.

The next morning, Li Song saw a newspaper report that the movie "Jinling" had become a huge hit on its premiere on Wawa.

Actually, the theaters on Wawa had already set their sights on this movie.

Only after Li Song agreed a few days ago did these cinemas start promoting the film and then import copies of it.

The newspaper also reported that Mr. Liu Jiale, the current president of Phoenix TV, revealed in an interview that Phoenix TV is preparing to hold the Miss Asia beauty pageant. In addition, Phoenix TV is preparing for the Golden Photo Film Festival. Please stay tuned to Phoenix TV for more information.

In addition, Wonder Magazine announced that it will launch a fantasy novel magazine, which will be released on June 1st.

Li Song knew about this fantasy novel magazine; it was based on novels adapted from World of Warcraft, and also Pirates of the Caribbean.

Currently, Qimiao Magazine has four series of magazines: Ghost Blows Out the Light, Science Fiction, Children's, and Fantasy.

Historical fiction involving time travel is also included in the Ghost Blows Out the Light series.

Wonder Magazine has become a worldwide publication.

Some of the magazines have been translated into multiple languages!

On Friday, June 12, 1981 (the eleventh day of the fifth lunar month), Li Song had just appeared at the airport when he was spotted by reporters who had been lying in wait there.

Li Song guessed that these reporters had received a tip, because Li Song needed to apply in advance for his private jet to fly to the mainland!
Airport staff certainly know your itinerary.

"Mr. Li!!"

"Mr. Li!!"

"Mr. Li!" The reporters rushed over as soon as they saw Li Song get out of the car!
"Please don't disrupt the airport order!" Li Song had gotten off the car in a relatively secluded part of the airport, but he was still surrounded by reporters, so he spoke up.

"I'll give you ten minutes!" Li Song said.

"Mr. Li, is Phoenix TV's Miss Asia Pageant a direct competitor to other Miss Hong Kong pageants? And some newspapers have published articles alleging that Phoenix TV plagiarized other TV stations' Miss Hong Kong pageants," a reporter asked.

The Miss Hong Kong pageant is a program launched by TVB in 1973.

The Miss Asia Pageant was a program held by ATV in 1985, but it has never surpassed the Miss Hong Kong Pageant in terms of influence.

I wonder if this beauty pageant organized by Phoenix TV can surpass TVB's Miss Hong Kong pageant.

Therefore, viewers in Hong Kong pay close attention to this because Phoenix TV produces excellent programs!

"Sorry, there's no plagiarism in our TV programs. If anyone says Phoenix TV plagiarized, then let them sue Phoenix TV!" Li Song directly invoked the law. The reporters were speechless upon hearing this.

If I were to accuse them of plagiarism again, I would probably receive a lawyer's letter.

Li Song continued, "Moreover, I think competition is a good thing. Sometimes, when one party dominates, there are some shady dealings involved. Please rest assured, our Phoenix TV beauty pageant will not become a game for some rich people."

These reporters initially thought this topic wouldn't generate much buzz, but Li Song's next words gave them a real jolt: "Mr. Li, are you saying that beauty pageants on other TV stations are just a game for the rich?"

"Mr. Li, what do you mean by 'the games of the rich'?"

It's well known that the Miss Hong Kong pageant has always been controversial; some people like this one, and some people like that one, so the Miss Hong Kong pageant has never lacked conspiracy theories.

So Li Song is stirring up controversy around this topic, knowing that his remarks will definitely gain the approval and discussion of many Hong Kong viewers.

Li Song chuckled and said, "I think the audience's eyes are discerning. Everyone knows whether there's a problem or not. What I want to tell everyone here is that it's not that I, Li, look down on anyone, but no one has been able to affect the fairness of Phoenix TV's program production."

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard Li Song's words. There are many wealthy people in Hong Kong, but when it comes to influence, the others are nothing.

Dandan Li Song's status as a world-renowned writer surpasses that of other wealthy individuals.

Not to mention that Li Song also has so many factories.

"Let's not dwell on this issue and avoid causing further harm to those involved."

"Welcome everyone to the Miss Asia Pageant hosted by Phoenix TV."

A reporter quickly asked, "Mr. Li, are you referring to the Miss Asia pageant, meaning that participation is restricted to people from Western countries?"

“We will not restrict the participation of people from other Western countries, but our Phoenix TV audience is all Asian, and our aesthetic values ​​are very different from those of Westerners!”

"Therefore, when people from Western countries participate in beauty pageants, they may get a rather controversial result."

“We will also have an international group in the competition, but the results of the selection may not conform to the mainstream aesthetics of Europe and America.”

The reporters agreed with what Li Song said.

"Let's change the subject. We'll leave this topic here. For more details, please refer to the rules published by Phoenix TV." Li Song didn't want to continue discussing this.

"Mr. Li, Jinling Cinema is very popular on Wawa. Do you know anything about it?" a reporter asked.

"I saw the relevant reports in the newspaper, and I am very satisfied that it has been recognized by the audience!" Li Song naturally gave it a very positive evaluation.

"Mr. Li, this film is a co-production with the mainland. Does that mean there have been some political changes on the mainland?" another reporter asked.

"I'm not in a position to comment on this, but the fact that this movie was filmed and shown in mainland China speaks volumes!" Li Song wanted to say something, but he was afraid of upsetting some people at Wawa, so he decided to keep quiet (and it would get censored!).

"Next question!"

"Mr. Li, could you please tell me what kind of fantasy novels the Wonderful Magazine has added?"

"Fantasy novels are similar to The Lord of the Rings, but I've added more races and factions."

"There are two novels inside, one is more ancient fantasy, and the other is more otherworldly fantasy!"

"One of the more ancient fantasy-themed names is called Pirates of the Caribbean, which incorporates some ancient European legends."

"It leans towards fantasy and otherworldly themes, and is known as a magical world."

"The magical world has two factions: the Alliance and the Horde. The Alliance includes races such as humans, dwarves, gnomes, and elves!"

"The tribe has undead, orcs, tauren, goblins, and other races!" Li Song explained briefly.

These reporters had no idea what to ask when they heard these words, because they had no idea what these races and factions represented.

"Mr. Li, you recently applied for patents for two transport aircraft. Some experts have said that these two transport aircraft belong to military transport aircraft. What do you think?" Finally, a reporter asked this question.

Li Song guessed that this reporter's identity was probably also questionable.

"These two transport aircraft are the mainstream aircraft for transporting large items in the future!"

"Cross-border logistics and transportation of large items can sometimes take a very long time."

"With our aircraft, we can quickly solve related problems." Li Song refused to acknowledge that it was a military transport aircraft.

The reporter already knew Li Song would say that, so he asked, "But the engines used in these two aircraft are somewhat different from those used in civilian aircraft?"

"This is because many large-item logistics operations take place in relatively remote areas, and the take-off and landing conditions in these areas are quite complex!"

"Just like some large parts needed for large hydroelectric power stations, temporary airports can be set up. So when designing these two transport planes, we increased the number of tires, the strength of the landing gear, the overall structural strength, and reduced the engine bypass ratio, so that they could land at temporary airports in complex areas, because this would shorten the takeoff and landing distance."

"Moreover, as everyone knows, a large project requires a huge investment. The sooner these components arrive at the factory, the sooner these large projects can be completed. Therefore, it is acceptable to have higher logistics costs for large items," Li Song explained confidently.

That's right!

It's about large item logistics!

It can transport rockets, anti-aircraft missiles, and even tanks.

I just asked if these were large items.

It's just a big item, isn't that enough?

Furthermore, the Type A transport aircraft can also airdrop various large items.

Of course, there are tonnage restrictions for this large item!
"Alright, that's all for today's questions..." Li Song said, turning to leave.

"Mr. Li, will NIO sell these two transport aircraft globally?" the reporter quickly asked.

"I am not sure as well."

"Because these two aircraft have just been designed, our company will strictly abide by the laws of each country."

"If the sale is permitted within the legal framework, we are certainly willing to sell. After all, I am a businessman. My only concern is that some countries might not grant us flight permits and airworthiness certificates!"

"I've received news that certain companies in some countries are joining forces to refuse to issue an airworthiness certificate to the CA201 civil aircraft!" Li Song hadn't actually received this news, but that didn't stop him from saying it now.

After finishing his speech, Li Song prepared to leave, escorted by his bodyguards.

"Mr. Li, Director Lucas said in an interview that he would come to Hong Kong Island to discuss the film copyright of Star Mercenaries with you. Is that true?" another reporter quickly asked.

“Yes, I really like Lucas’s movies, and we have a lot in common. Of course, as a businessman, it’s more about who pays more.” Li Song didn’t forget to praise Lucas here.

"Lucas has a unique imagination when it comes to science fiction films."

"I think if he makes a film adaptation of Star Trek, it will be absolutely perfect!" Li Song's words were so blatantly flattering that they almost seemed like he was trying to curry favor with the character.

This was a strategy devised by a certain actor leader in Amei.

The goal is to use the space race to cripple the fat bear!

In fact, it has been proven that Ami's approach was absolutely correct.

Of course, the America people could not have imagined that decades later, some Eastern countries would also begin to compete with the America in space, forcing the America government to introduce one plan after another in an attempt to restore its status as the space hegemon.

In fact, the space shuttle developed by the US later was even better than the space shuttle developed by the US; this is the advantage of being a latecomer.

It's a pity that the family fell apart not long after Fat Bear was created.

Moreover, for a long time afterward, America purchased rocket engines from Fat Bear.

Moreover, the delivery of supplies to the space station is mostly handled by the Flying Bear's launch vehicles.

You can tell just how amazing Fat Bear is in this area!
"Mr. Li, would you like to say a few more words?"

"There's nothing more to say. My works are all managed by Wonderful Magazine!"

"Mr. Li..." Li Song boarded the private jet under the escort of his bodyguards.

These journalists have also made a considerable haul this time, so they'd better hurry back and publish their reports.

Reporters on Hong Kong Island focused on Li Song's statement that the Miss Hong Kong pageant is a game for the rich!
International journalists reported on the military transport plane and Lucas.

And of course, there are fantasy novel magazines.

The newspapers over there reported Li Song's views on the film's box office success.

Each of these journalists gained something from their own experience.

However, some people in certain departments on Hong Kong Island, after seeing Li Song's remarks about the two transport planes, curled their lip and said, "This Li Song is not honest at all!"
