Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 403 Unacceptable

"Listen to me, or I'll punish you according to family rules," Li Song said irritably.

"Hmph!" Zhu Ling blushed as she thought of the family discipline Li Song had mentioned, and snorted.

"Actually, someone has always been protecting you in secret!"

"Giving you the car only changed the way we protected you from covert to overt protection." Li Song knew that things were still quite chaotic at this point.

It's just not as chaotic as it was in history.

The reason why this period in history was so chaotic was mainly because many people had nothing to do.

And now, breakthroughs are being made in technology across various fields in China.

This year alone, we plan to export more than one million motorcycles, and if things go well, we might even be able to export two million.

This alone will create a lot of jobs.

Not to mention the home appliance, textile, chemical, and construction machinery industries.

There's also the military industry.

BMW's motorcycle, car, and outboard motor factories employ more than 100,000 people.

How many jobs are needed to feed, drink, and relieve these 100,000 people?

With fewer idle people, social order will naturally be better.

However, there is still a small group of people.

These people come from wealthy families and have connections; they simply don't care about these jobs.

In the process of opening up, some people have become too open.

"Alright then!!" Zhu Ling had no choice but to agree when she heard Li Song say that.

"When do you go to shoot commercials?"

"The Kyoto film studio is currently discussing this issue."

"Because BMW said they could provide a vehicle for filming."

“I want to film at both locations. If I do well, I can get in touch with BMW and get some quotas.” Zhu Ling’s words made Li Song feel a little amused and exasperated.

“Go back and talk to your factory manager. Tell him you have a way to get a quota of twenty cars, including at least five sedans.”

"We give you cars and claim they're from BMW so that our spokespeople can use them."

"Giving you a sports car now would be too conspicuous!"

“But when we’re filming, you’ll film the sports car!” Li Song arranged again.

"Mmm!!" Zhu Ling felt very happy listening to Li Song's rambling.

Because Li Song had arranged everything perfectly.

The next day, when Li Song woke up, Zhu Ling had already gone to work.

Zhu Ling was still driving her minivan.

Meanwhile, European media outlets were in an uproar.

London time is about eight hours ahead of Kyoto time.

Li Song woke up at nine o'clock in the morning.

It was 1 a.m. London time.

Last night at 10 pm Hong Kong time, Phoenix TV released a photo of what appeared to be the Queen's private jet.

Although no photos have been seen in London, the media in Hong Kong have already spread the news.

So the London evening news reported the news.

For European media, the London royal family is a surefire way to generate buzz!

This traffic password is more useful than Li Song's.

European media outlets are reporting that the London royal family has apparently ordered the Starliner jet!

This immediately caused an uproar in the European media, including those in London.

Because all royal expenses must be approved by Parliament!

There was absolutely no prior information about this aircraft!

Therefore, all sorts of speculations are flying around!
Now we're just waiting for the photos from Hong Kong Island to arrive.

Various media outlets are now offering high prices to purchase the relevant photos.

They chartered a plane from Hong Kong Island to send the relevant photos and videos to Europe.

However, flights now require a layover in Egypt, which takes at least fifteen hours.

The flight is on Hong Kong Island time, departing at 10 PM and arriving in Europe at 1 PM Hong Kong Island time.

One o'clock in the afternoon in Hong Kong Island is five o'clock in the morning in Europe.

Media outlets from all walks of life are gearing up, and editorial departments and printing plants are all on standby.

Once the videotapes and photos arrived, we got to work in full swing.

Airbus also felt helpless about this matter.

Airbus could probably guess that the London royal family's private jet must be involved in some shady dealings.

Because London is the royal family's home, and it's the center of fashion.

If this is true, then the StarShines passenger jet will immediately open up the market!
Of course, Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, and related media outlets also learned of this news.

However, this is still just news, so these companies and media outlets have no way of truly determining whether it is true or not.

Although the people on Hong Kong Island called to confirm that it was absolutely true, everything should be based on the actual product!
However, the media has already begun reporting on it extensively.

Television media, in particular, love this kind of uncertain news.

Moreover, there are two key factors behind this incident: Li Song and the London royal family.

Therefore, various speculations have emerged:

Did the Queen of London have some shady deal with the world-renowned author?

What exactly is going on with the Queen of London's private jet?

World-renowned writer Li Song wants to gift the Queen of London a private jet, thereby opening up the private jet market?

What is the relationship between Mr. Li Song, a world-renowned writer and prominent entrepreneur, and the Queen of London?
Shocking! A private jet with London royal livery has been spotted at the Chang'an Aircraft Manufacturing Plant in a mysterious Eastern country!
Who owns the royal blue painted plane?

As for the maiden flight of the CA201 passenger plane at Chang'an Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, it seems to have been forgotten by the media.

Because the maiden flight of a passenger plane with more than 200 seats is not a new thing.

It doesn't even come close to the attention garnered by the Queen's private jet in London.

Meanwhile in London, the CEO of Bedooch was overjoyed as he read the media reports and received news from Amer.

The paperwork for this aircraft was completed long ago.

The Elizabeth Royal Blue private jet is parked at the Chang'an Aircraft Manufacturing Plant.

It was a prototype that Bedouin presented to the Queen of London, who had a 30-year trial period.

For the past thirty years, Beduch has provided free maintenance and engine replacements for this aircraft!

Furthermore, Bedoogie pays the Queen of London £100,000 annually.

Because the Queen of London has to submit an experience questionnaire every year.

If Li Song were to present the plane to the Queen of London, she would find it unacceptable.

Because the Queen of London receives a great deal of attention.

This will trigger a series of political speculations.

Or it could have a negative impact on the royal family.

Of course, Li Song was unwilling to give it to the Queen of London for free, because he might be criticized for being a lackey.

Bedouin is the exclusive global distributor of the Starliner aircraft.

Another pure London company!
The product that the company gave to the Queen of London for testing was completely without any problems.

Because many luxury brands give samples to the Queen of London for free to try out.

Samples that are taken out by the Queen of London will create a fashion trend.

It's just that the samples sent by Bedouin this time were of a rather high value. The two parties have signed a legally binding contract!

Therefore, there are no flaws in terms of either procedure or law.

Tian Jiahui looked at the large number of reporters downstairs at the company.

They shook their heads; what these reporters wanted to ask most right now was news about that mysterious royal blue private jet.

Tian Jiahui knew, of course, but he couldn't say.

Even Phoenix TV had many colleagues waiting at the entrance today.

However, Phoenix TV declined to comment.

Of course, the reporter who secretly photographed the royal blue painted plane became famous overnight.

Other television stations on Hong Kong Island were also helpless in the face of this situation.

The people of Hong Kong Island are also discussing it extensively.

The people of Hong Kong Island are divided into two groups. One group is more centrist and believes that their roots are in the mainland.

Another group, having been under colonial rule, harbors a strange reverence for the West.

This cultural and ideological divide is mainly due to the unique nature of Hong Kong Island and its long history of colonial rule.

Because people in this place are greatly influenced by foreign cultures.

Li Song was completely unaware of all this, because the speed of information dissemination was very slow without the internet.

Nowadays, people mainly obtain information through two channels: beauty and books!

This is why many magazines in the 1980s and 90s depicted foreign countries as paradise, and many people were willing to believe it, mainly because there were too few channels to obtain information.

This has led some people born and raised in this era to believe that everything in the West is good.

Every system has its pros and cons!
After getting up in Shanghai, Li Song washed up and then strolled out.

Actually, going out at this time of year isn't a very pleasant experience.

Because if you want to go shopping at this time, but you have money but no receipts or vouchers, you can only stare blankly.

Even if you want to eat at a restaurant, most restaurants require both money and a ticket.

Unless it's a hotel catering to foreigners.

If you want to experience a food street where you can eat as much as you want, that's impossible now.

Li Song simply observed the scenery of this era.

Of course, you can also fish in the river.

“At this time, the fish resources in the Huangpu River are still relatively abundant.” Li Song looked at the fishermen using very small mesh nets in the river.

Fish resources in the Huangpu River declined year by year in the late 1970s due to overfishing.

Li Song certainly ate a lot of good food during that era.

The Yangtze River knife fish is indeed very delicious.

There's also shad.

Not to mention that other things like bear paws have already been eaten, because there is currently no wildlife protection law.

While Li Song was strolling around Shanghai, the main leaders of Jindu were having a meeting together.

This time, it was Parkson Hong Kong that proposed to invest in establishing animal sanctuaries and zoos in mainland China.

The first nature reserve in China is Dinghu Nature Reserve.

It's not a giant panda, golden monkey, Siberian tiger, or South China tiger.

The first animal reserve is Wanglang in Mianyang, and the animal reserve mainly protects giant pandas!
The reason why the top leaders held a meeting was because Yum! Brands' investment was very large.

We plan to establish a large-scale tropical botanical garden in Guangdong Province, and also a marine world.

In addition, we will establish the Hoh Xil Plateau Nature Reserve and are willing to donate a batch of general-purpose helicopters.

In addition, it is necessary to establish protected areas for the Baiji dolphin and the Yangtze finless porpoise in the Yangtze River basin.

There are also donations to research projects such as the South China tiger research and the giant panda research base.

The first phase of these projects involved an investment of $50 million, with total investment potentially exceeding several hundred million dollars.

"Let's all share our thoughts!" The main leader showed the relevant documents to the relevant departments.

"Li Song's companies place great emphasis on environmental protection, including providing excellent work safety for their employees!"

"So they established these wildlife reserves for environmental protection purposes!" a leader said after reading the report.

"The Hoh Xil uninhabited reserve and the establishment of a tropical botanical and zoo in Guangdong Province are not major issues."

"The baiji dolphin and the Yangtze finless porpoise reserve probably need to be investigated in detail!"

"After all, there are many fishermen and many boats in the Yangtze River basin."

"How can we balance the relationship between the two sides, especially since many people are still struggling to get enough to eat!"

"Nothing is more important than having enough to eat!"

"Actually, I don't think this is a big problem!"

"Li Song owns so many businesses. If he wants to establish a protected area somewhere, he can easily build a large factory there!"

"I think there's a good idea. The Yangtze River basin produces a lot of vegetables in winter!"

“In particular, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have vast and fertile farmlands.”

"Aren't Li Song and the others going to reclaim wasteland and farm in the northern frontier?"

"We also need to build some vegetable factories there. I think it's entirely possible to build them in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River as well."

"As for the local issues that Li Song and his group are considering, I don't believe there's no solution."

"This is a sensitive time. The household responsibility system has just been implemented, and if the government intervenes to force farmers to do this or that, it will likely cause a series of problems!"

"Then let Party members and cadres take the lead!"

"I remember that Li Song's instant noodles had a vegetable packet in them."

"I also believe that Party members and cadres should take the lead!"

"Ordinary people will definitely not refuse if they see that they can make money."

Upon hearing this, the top leader tapped the table and said, "Personally, I think Li Song's investments are perfectly fine."

"Yangtze River Dolphin Nature Reserve!"

"We just need to formulate laws and regulations to strictly prohibit fishing and killing, and punish those who violate the rules!"

"We don't need to use the lives of the locals to hold them hostage!"

"Besides, Li Song and his team didn't leave without contributing money to the establishment of the protected area."

"We will not interfere with Li Song's and his group's business matters."

"Our foreign investment this year will be four times that of last year."

"It's precisely because of Li Song's exemplary leadership!"

"We must not give these foreign investors a bad impression!"

"We must remember one thing: people invest money in order to make money."

"They didn't come here to help the poor!"

"Poverty alleviation is the responsibility of our government!"

When a top leader says this, the tone is quite strong.

Because this head cannot be opened.

Once this starts, what will foreign investors think?
The top leaders did not know whether someone did this intentionally or unintentionally.

However, at least on the surface, it appears to be considering the interests of local farmers.

But some things are often hidden in the unseen world.

"I suggest we listen to the opinions of the local leaders!"

"We can't just sit here and make a decision; we need to hear what the local leaders have to say," the main leader said, as if struck by a sudden thought.
