Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 405 Untitled
Upon hearing the first sentence, Ma Shengli knew what Li Song meant.

I was wondering how this could possibly be exhibited openly and legitimately in China.

Upon hearing the next sentence, Ma Shengli understood that the authorities would eventually discover these smuggled animals.

These smuggled animals definitely need to be dealt with; they will be handed over to the zoo.

One advantage of this is that the authorities don't have to worry about any trouble.

"Hmm!" Ma Shengli could only nod when he heard this, because he could only report.

"Of course, it would be even better if these species were still found in the country."

"We can fund relevant professors or professionals in China to conduct statistical research on various organisms."

"And it's not limited to the creatures we've mentioned, because our knowledge of them is also very limited!" Li Song added.

Animal protection cannot be separated from scientific research and technology, and the most suitable places for scientific research and technology are various schools.

Don't underestimate these schools.

Li Song is now funding various projects for professors or professionals in these schools.

These professors or professionals will have many students in the future, and most of these students will work in related professional departments after they enter the workforce.

This also inadvertently expanded Li Song's influence.

Sometimes, no matter how strong your abilities or how great your talents are, they can't compare to having a good teacher.

Because this good teacher may have many students, that is, other students who are very capable classmates or brothers.

"Uh-huh!"

"Thank you in advance, sir!" Ma Shengli certainly knew about the animal protection majors that Li Song had mentioned in universities in China.

Such professional grants are very rare, and only a few top experts or professors can receive them; most people only study theoretical knowledge.

"Actually, for these zoos or nature reserves, we only invest funds and provide direction. The vast majority of people inside still need to rely on domestic resources."

"Especially places like Hoh Xil, where the environment is harsh and the location is quite sensitive!"

"At that time, we can make appropriate arrangements for some veterans, especially some disabled veterans," Li Song said.

Li Song felt that places like Hoh Xil, where blood had been shed, were the best locations to be arranged!
Then, neighboring countries will send some talent to us from uninhabited areas.

Just shoot them as poachers.

"Okay!" Ma Shengli could only nod in agreement.

That's all!

Li Song strolled around the BMW motorcycle and BMW car factories, and the next day he took a private plane back to Hong Kong Island.

Li Song was stopped by reporters as soon as he left the airport.

"Mr. Li!"

"Mr. Li!"

"Mr. Li!" The reporters blocked the bodyguards and wouldn't let Li Song's car move.

Of course, Li Song did it on purpose. Although flight information could be easily obtained by insiders, Li Song could leave separately from the airport.

"Everyone, stop arguing!"

"I also work in media!"

"However, we're in the same industry, so let me answer a few questions here!"

"What do you want to ask?" The bodyguard got out of the car and blocked the way before Li Song got out and shouted.

Upon hearing Li Song's words, some of the reporters thought to themselves, "Phoenix TV's candid filming is absolutely brilliant!"

Of course this cannot be said.

"Mr. Li, what is your opinion on the Queen of London obtaining the right to use the prototype of the Starliner?" a reporter asked.

"This is just a simple business activity."

"It now appears that this business plan was very successful."

“And I believe in the London royal family!” Li Song knew someone would ask this question.

"Mr. Li, what is the name of this aircraft? What stage is the manufacturing process at?"

"Mr. Li, how long until we can see this plane?" the reporters asked one after another.

"I can't say much about that, but you'll be able to see the plane at the Hong Kong Island airport next month."

"We must keep our clients' information confidential!" Li Song was unwilling to elaborate on this point.

"Mr. Li, Bedouin has obtained the exclusive global distribution rights, excluding mainland China. What considerations led you to agree to this request?" another reporter asked.

"Because they are the only company in the whole world that came to us asking for distribution rights!"

"In fact, as you all know, there are quite a few people who have slandered our aircraft."

"I would love for other companies to come to us for distribution rights, but unfortunately, no one does!" Li Song shrugged, shifting the blame to non-existent companies.

Of course, what Li Song said is true, because the most important thing about private jets is the brand.

The StarShines aircraft brand has absolutely no brand power.

"Mr. Li, could you please disclose the selling price of Xinghui Technology?"

"Of course not, that's our trade secret, but I can guarantee that we will give our distributors sufficient profit margins!"

"Mr. Li, how many orders are currently placed for the StarShines passenger jet?"

"About ten orders!"

"So many orders? Mr. Li, could you please reveal who the seller is?"

"I can only reveal that my biggest client is myself!"

"Mr. Li, it is said that many members of the US House of Representatives are already drafting new aviation safety standards. What is your opinion on this?"

"I will not comment on the Aramco government's affairs, nor will I comment on the actions of the members of parliament, because that is their freedom." Li Song was overjoyed to hear this.

Clearly, their plan had succeeded, and Boeing intensified its efforts to overcome the challenges.

He personally led the world's media to witness the maiden flight of the CA201 jet airliner.

On the one hand, it's advertising for this aircraft, and on the other hand, it's advertising for the Starliner!

The most important thing is to make Boeing feel a sense of crisis.

The goal is to make Boeing feel that CA201 is a huge threat to them.

Because of the precedent set by the Panda aircraft, Boeing was afraid that the CA201 aircraft would impact their aircraft market.

The main difference is that Boeing is no longer the dominant company it once was.

Boeing now faces competition from McDonnell Douglas domestically and Airbus internationally.

And now another company, Chang'an Aircraft Manufacturing Company, has emerged.

This made Boeing feel like they were trying to solve one problem only to have another arise.

Therefore, Boeing is now using its financial power to directly set new standards and policies to restrict foreign commercial aircraft from entering the Aramco market, and even to influence global aviation standards.

Because Li Song's performance was too terrifying.

Look at the current delivery volume of Panda aircraft, from a few hundred aircraft per month at the beginning to several thousand aircraft per month now!
Looking at motorcycles, BMW's global market share continues to expand, while Benz's motorcycle market share continues to shrink, which has also affected Aramco's motorcycle exports.

Not to mention the emergence of BMW cars. These products were able to quickly capture and seize market share because of their low prices.

Moreover, Li Song also has a vast country in the East standing behind him.

If we don't nip this enemy in the bud now...

Boeing is now facing enormous trouble.

Therefore, Boeing had no choice but to rely on its unparalleled financial resources.

To persuade one member of parliament after another!

Of course, these American politicians aren't idiots; they'll definitely make Boeing pay a higher price at this point.

Because for these politicians, their own interests come first.

As for whether the company lives or dies, that's none of his business.

Li Song was secretly pleased, but he had to put on a very unhappy face.

"However, I hope they can put users first, and I also support higher safety and environmental standards!"

Upon hearing Li Song's words, the reporters quickly wrote them down, and then another reporter asked a question.

"Mr. Li, we've heard that a crowdfunding club is offering yachts for bidding worldwide. Are you interested in participating?"

"I haven't received any information about this?"

"To be honest, the last Panda plane incident cost me a lot of money!"

"Moreover, the Panda plane is also facing lawsuits!"

“I don’t want to face another lawsuit. As you all know, capitalists sometimes have a lot of power, like the new aviation safety standards you just mentioned.” Li Song made a sarcastic remark here.

These reporters felt uneasy after hearing Li Song's answer.

If Li Song doesn't speak out, the interviews won't be very interesting.

However, it's not appropriate to ask any overly provocative questions about the Queen of London.

Other topics don't get as much traffic as the Queen of London!
"Mr. Li, will you and your company push for the introduction of relevant restrictive policies in mainland China?" a reporter asked.

"That's an excellent question!"

"As a responsible company, we must promote the continuous progress of related industries!"

"And the simplest way to promote progress in related industries is to advance the formulation of relevant standards!"

"Our company has a very strong advantage in the field of aircraft."

"Of course, we can only offer suggestions to the relevant parties, because we are more professional in this area!" Li Song said this rather tactfully.

In fact, many industry standards in mainland China are based on the factories invested in by Li Song or the technologies he has provided, and some are even directly adopted from the standards of Li Song's factories.

For example, the car testing standards and crash standards that are currently being developed in mainland China.

There are also relevant standards for engineering machinery.

And related standards for home appliances.

Of course, these relevant standards are not entirely based on the technical standards of Lisong Factory!
We also need to take into account some domestic companies with outdated technology.

These standards may have been established by now, but it will take some time before they are strictly enforced, which means giving some technologically backward companies time.

These reporters understood that Li Song was saying, in a blatant way, that he wanted to formulate some restrictive policies.

"So, will these standards target Boeing?" an AFP reporter asked directly.

"No!"

“These standards will apply to companies in all relevant industries!” Li Song shook his head.

"Mr. Li, is it true that the crowdfunding club's yacht tender is a conspiracy?"

"Is this a conspiracy targeting the Japanese Boat Association?" an American reporter asked.

"I don't know about this."

"Because this happened in America!"

“I think you can get more accurate information by interviewing the crowdfunding club directly!” Of course, Li Song wouldn’t say anything about this.

Although it was all planned, Li Song declined to comment on the matter.

He acted as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Mr. Li, is your company preparing to go public?" another reporter asked.

"We don't have that plan for now, because our company has enough money to grow!"

"Mr. Li, could you tell me the approximate price of the Queen's plane in London?"

"Of course not, that's our company's trade secret. If you want to know the price of the aircraft, please interview Beduch Corporation!"

"Mr. Li, what are your views on the Hong Kong Island lease issue?" At this point, a reporter raised a sensitive question.

"contract!"

“I believe we should uphold the spirit of contracts!” Li Song said.

Li Song noticed that some people wanted to ask some sensitive questions.

One of the reporters quickly asked, "Mr. Li, the novel Pirates of the Caribbean is very well written. I wonder when it will be made into a movie?"

“Lucas asked me the same question, but I personally prefer to publish the novel or comic book first, and then make the movie.”

"So, how long does it take for the Pirates of the Caribbean comics to be published?"

"We have already commissioned the relevant production company to produce it, and we believe it will be available to everyone soon."

"Mr. Li, there are rumors that Ice Age is going to be adapted into an animated film. Is this information accurate?"

"Yes, we have signed a film adaptation contract with the author and commissioned the Shanghai Film Studio to produce this animated film. Moreover, it is a series of animated films!"

"As for when it will be open to the public, there is no information available at the moment."

"Mr. Li, it's said that the author of Ice Age is your student?"

"Hehe, I'm only in my early twenties!"

"I am not qualified to accept disciples."

"Alright, that concludes today's interview. Please make way." Li Song said before getting into his car and leaving.

When Li Song returned home, he found that Xiao Si had arrived. On the way, Li Song knew that Ah Long and Xiao Si had returned to Hong Kong Island.

The movie National Treasure was a huge success, grossing over $5.4 million worldwide.

Golden Harvest is going to hold a grand celebration party and also announced that they will be filming "Island Mystery".

And the celebration party would inevitably include the author, Li Song, as well as investors.

Of course, with Li Song now being a global celebrity and a source of immense popularity, Golden Harvest would certainly not let this opportunity pass.

So, after Li Song got home, he had just hugged Xiao Shi when he received a call from Boss Zou.

Boss Zou invited Li Song to dinner that evening.

After Li Song agreed, he started discussing business with Xiao Si!
In the evening, Li Song went to Boss Zou's villa.

Then he was surrounded by reporters again!
When the reporters saw Li Song, they all laughed, because they had just stopped Li Song for an interview that morning.
