Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 339 Media rush to interview
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned and confused, and didn't react for a while.

Hu Jiangshan was also confused. What was going on? Why did they even start to think that walls had ears? This was too much of a drama!

Yuan Caihua, Hong Jie and others looked at each other, talking and whispering.

"Who is it? The voice sounds familiar."

"Oh, it seems to be Qinlan."

"It's her! It's Qinlan!"

There was already some anger on Yuan Caihua's face.

Mei Qinlan is also a wealthy lady.

Hong Kong Island is small, and everyone is in the same circle. On weekdays, as long as you move around in various social occasions, you will see each other every day.

In fact, Yuan Caihua is a generous and cheerful person with a bright personality. She is absolutely not petty and has a good reputation in the circle of rich wives.

Yuan Caihua's only shortcoming is that she has a son, Hu Jiangshan, who is not doing his job, always causing trouble and causing her a lot of worry.

But now Hu Jiangshan has laid down his butcher knife, become a Buddha, and turned over a new leaf. Yuan Caihua no longer has even this "weakness".

It's very strange to say, but for some reason Mei Qinlan just doesn't get along well with Yuan Caihua. It seems that she looks down on Yuan Caihua and the Hu family. Whenever the two meet, she would take any chance to make sarcastic remarks.

It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet. At this moment, they were sitting next to each other, separated only by a screen.

Being so close, Mei Qinlan must have heard what everyone said just now, and she heard it quite clearly.

Hearing Mei Qinlan being sarcastic at this time, Yuan Caihua certainly couldn't stand it. She was not an easy person to deal with.

"Oh, how come someone is eavesdropping on other people's conversations? There's really no privacy at all."

At this time, Mei Qinlan walked out from behind the screen, looked at the people present, and her eyes inevitably passed across Hu Jiangshan's face.

"Do you think we want to listen? The point is that you guys are chattering non-stop here, directly filling our ears with chatter. We can't help but listen. I still think you're noisy!"

Yuan Caihua said calmly: "Just listen, why are you cursing?"

Mei Qinlan said, "When did I curse anyone? I was just telling the truth, and this is a warning to you, so that you can be careful and not endanger your personal safety just for the sake of joining in the fun, because that would be more trouble than it's worth."

"You, you are too contemptuous. You haven't even done anything yet, but you're already thinking about failure!"

"How can this be certain? Rocket launches are not a sure thing. You always have to consider the worst possible outcome."

The wealthy ladies present looked at each other, obviously thinking that what Mei Qinlan said made some sense.

We are all rich people, so we value our lives even more and don’t want to get into an accident just to join in the fun.

Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "Don't worry about this. We have made a plan. The selected area is a 100% safe zone. Even if the rocket launch fails, the debris will not fall in these two areas. Personal safety is completely guaranteed."

Hu Jiangshan spoke very confidently and convincingly.

The other wealthy ladies finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as their personal safety was not at risk, they could go and join in the fun without any worries.

They are willing to do this kind of thing!
Mei Qinlan looked at Hu Jiangshan a few more times and couldn't help but curl her lips.

"Sister Hua, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but your son can do anything else. Why did he have to do something so dangerous? He should learn from my son, who opened several commercial buildings in the mainland. They are respectable, profitable, and no one talks about them. How great is that."

Mei Qinlan's son was doing quite well in the mainland at this time. He had invested in and built shopping malls in several cities, which he ran very well. He was considered a top figure.

Of course, it is not enough to rely solely on the ability of Mei Qinlan's son, he still needs the support of the family behind him.

This is the advantage of the second generation of rich people. They don’t need to do most of the things in their careers by themselves. They just need to wait for the right time to reap the rewards. They call it a reflection of their abilities.

In fact, these are not important. What is important is that if you gain fame, you will feel proud in front of others.

Mei Qinlan had long heard that Yuan Caihua's beloved son Hu Jiangshan had recently built a space launch site and was about to launch a rocket. She also happened to hear the people at this table talking about this matter, so she couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.

Yuan Caihua waved her hands and said calmly, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but what's the point of running a shopping mall? Who here doesn't have the ability to run a shopping mall? It's basically a rotten thing. I dare say that the few people sitting here can run a real estate business with their eyes closed."

This is true. Although businessmen in Hong Kong Island may not have any other skills, they are definitely top-notch in the real estate industry. They have ready-made teams and experience.

Mei Qinlan said: "It's easy to say that you've done a bad job. As long as you can make money, it's a skill. It's shameful to spend a lot of money but not make a penny!"

Yuan Caihua was of course not convinced: "I'm so sorry, our Ashan is engaged in the aerospace industry, a high-tech industry, the highest end of the high-end, it's easier to make money than working in the real estate industry, and the key is that it's respectable. If you tell others about it, people will think it's very noble. How do you say it? He is the leader of human civilization!"

Mei Qinlan sneered: "What leader? Isn't it too early to say that now? I guess the launch site is just a showpiece. Let's make sure we can send the rocket into space first."

Yuan Caihua was speechless for a moment. Mei Qinlan had a really vicious mouth.

The key point is that Yuan Caihua really can't refute it now, and she still has to rely on her strength.

It's fine to say anything that Hu Jiangshan can really successfully launch a rocket into the sky, but he hasn't tried it yet, so anything he says is just empty talk.

Mei Qinlan added: "Sister Hua, is it any use for you to have so many people promote you?"

"How could he not? Didn't you know about it? There might be a big media outlet that will interview him in the future."

"Big media? Interviewing you? Come on, I don't believe that."

"If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"

When two women were arguing, no one else could get a word in and could only look at each other or watch.

Of course, everyone is already used to this kind of scene. When women are together, there is always more drama, and it is quite interesting to watch a good quarrel.

Watching the fun is sometimes even more enjoyable than watching a play.

At this moment, Hu Jiangshan's cell phone on the table vibrated.

The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number, but it was a landline number from the capital.

Maybe it's a call from NASA, and that would be important.

Hu Jiangshan got up, walked to the window of the teahouse and answered the phone.

A very pleasant voice came from the other side, clear and pleasant, like a silver bell, and it sounded very familiar.

"Hello, are you Mr. Hu Jiangshan?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Boss Hu, I'm Yang Bingbing, a reporter from the Central Media. Do you remember me?"

In fact, Hu Jiangshan had already determined the other party's identity through the voice. After all, Yang Bingbing was also impressive in his previous life.

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "Remember, the beautiful reporter from the British media, nice to meet you."

When they met at the National Space Administration before, Hu Jiangshan and Yang Bingbing added each other's contact information, but now Yang Bingbing is using a landline phone, so Hu Jiangshan didn't know who was calling.

Yang Bingbing made a phone call using the landline, so she must have something important to say.

"Reporter Bingbing, do you have any good news for me?"

"Yes, of course. The thing is, we would like to interview you. I wonder if it is convenient for you."

Hu Jiangshan was stunned at first, and asked: "Interview? Are you going to Hong Kong Island? I can't go to the capital now." "No problem, no problem, we can just go to Hong Kong Island. I want to do a simple interview with you and take a look at the space launch site there. I heard that you are going to launch a rocket recently. Is that true?"

Hu Jiangshan came to his senses and realized that the news had already reached the central media.

Hu Jiangshan replied, "Yes, it's true. The launch is expected to take place this Saturday. Does reporter Bingbing want to come over to take some pictures?"

Yang Bingbing said, "That would be the best, of course. Do you agree? Are you welcome? Boss Hu."

"Welcome, a warm welcome. When will you come?"

"How about tomorrow?"

"Sure, whatever's convenient for you, I'll be waiting for you anytime!"

Yang Bingbing was amused. "Boss Hu, you are so polite. We will call you tomorrow when we get to the hotel, and then we can arrange the specific interview schedule, okay?"

"no problem."

Hu Jiangshan chatted with Yang Bingbing about a few details, then said goodbye and hung up the phone.

Hu Jiangshan looked back and was shocked to see that the rich ladies, including his mother Yuan Caihua, were staring at him with strange looks.

Hu Jiangshan walked over and asked, "Mom, what's going on? Why don't you guys chat anymore?"

Yuan Caihua asked: "Ashan, who called you just now?"

Hu Jiangshan replied: "Just now, a reporter from the central media called me."

Yuan Caihua's eyes lit up: "Reporter from the central media, the one from the mainland?"

"Yes, it is the largest TV station in the mainland."

When Hu Jiangshan answered the phone just now, Yuan Caihua, Mei Qinlan and others heard a few words nearby, among which were the words "central media", so they were attracted to it, so that Yuan Caihua and Mei Qinlan stopped arguing.

Sister Hong couldn't help but ask, "Ashan, why did the central media call you? Did they want to interview you?"

Having said that, Sister Hong also glanced at Mei Qinlan.

Mei Qinlan looked a little uncomfortable, but didn't say anything.

If the central media really wants to interview Hu Jiangshan, then it would indeed be a bit of a show of face.

Although it is not very popular to watch central media in Hong Kong, it is the largest TV station in the mainland after all, and its name is still very famous, especially among their wealthy circles, who are aware of this and are more sensitive than ordinary people.

That's not right. How could a mere Hu Jiangshan possibly alarm a major mainland media like the central media?

Do you really think that Hu Jiangshan’s launch site can really launch a rocket into space?

Hu Jiangshan then added: "Not only do they want to interview me, they also want to film the rocket launch on site."

Yuan Caihua was very excited when she heard this: "Really? That's great! Isn't it like the central media is promoting you for free?"

"You can say that."

Other wealthy ladies also showed surprised expressions and uttered words of praise.

"Ashan is really amazing. He has attracted the biggest media in the mainland."

"This is unbelievable! Is this going to be broadcast live nationwide?"

Yuan Caihua turned to Mei Qinlan and said, "How is it? My son is amazing! The central media is coming to interview us and even film the rocket launch. They take it very seriously."

"I know, I know, I heard it, but so what? The central media is from the mainland, and they have the ability to let local media in Hong Kong report on it! Small media don't count."

As he was speaking, Hu Jiangshan's cell phone rang again.

【Caller ID: Zhou Yuezhu】

Now Zhou Yuezhu has been completely seconded to Hu Jiangshan, and has been helping Hu Jiangshan with administrative and personnel work.

Recently, we have specially recruited several people to establish an administrative team, and now Zhou Yuezhu's work is on track.

Hu Jiangshan answered the phone.

"Hey, Yuezhu, what's wrong?"

"Boss, a few media outlets just contacted you and want to interview you."

Hu Jiangshan asked curiously: "Interviewing me? Which media?"

"Let me see. There are two media outlets from Hong Kong Island and one from Macau."

"What do they want to interview about? Is it about the spaceport?"

"Yes, that's right. They want to know more about the progress of the space launch site and also want to know about the upcoming rocket launch."

Hu Jiangshan thought about it and said, "Okay, we can accept the interview."

"Boss, when would it be convenient for you to accept the interview?"

"How about this, the sooner the better. It would be best to arrange two this afternoon and another tomorrow morning."

"Okay, no problem, I'll negotiate with them right away."

As soon as Hu Jiangshan hung up the phone, Yuan Caihua immediately asked, "Who called this time?"

Hu Jiangshan then told the media that two media outlets in Hong Kong and one in Macau were vying to interview him.

Yuan Caihua smiled happily and looked at Mei Qinlan: "Qinlan, you are right. The local media in Hong Kong Island have come to interview my Ah Shan. I wonder if your precious son has ever been interviewed by the media?"

"you……"

Mei Qinlan looked unhappy: "Okay, okay, I'll see if your rocket can really be launched successfully!"

Having said that, Mei Qinlan returned to the screen angrily.

Yuan Caihua greeted everyone and sat down again.

Everyone smiled at each other. This time they taught Mei Qinlan a lesson very well. It was really great.

However, Yuan Caihua couldn't help feeling a little uneasy and worried about gains and losses.

Yuan Caihua said to Hu Jiangshan: "Ashan, what is the success rate?"

"What is the success rate of launching rockets?"

"Yeah, are you sure about it? I've called everyone over to watch it live, so it'd better not mess up."

"Don't worry, although I can't say it's 100%, I'm still very confident that I won't make you look bad."

Yuan Caihua said: "Just don't explode before it reaches the sky, that would be too ugly and scary."

"Mom, no, no, definitely not."
