Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 536 Several forces are besieging Tenglong Island

Li Changxi smiled slightly: "Distinguished guests, please don't be impatient. The reason is actually very simple: people often make mistakes when they are complacent, and a company is no exception."

Howard and the others exchanged thoughtful glances.

Westerners actually understand this principle; it's just a matter of flattery to the point of destruction.

Western media are very good at this, especially when they want to drag a specific person or team down for a certain purpose. They will first create a lot of hype for them, making the other party think that they are very capable, which may lead to a big mistake.

Of course, making mistakes is a matter of probability; it's impossible for them to happen 100% of the time.

What if the other party never makes a mistake?
Actually, it's quite simple. You can use the media again to forcefully say that the other party made a big mistake or embarrassed themselves. If you want to go even further, you can say that the other party committed a crime.

As long as the media can bombard the public with relentless, saturated attacks, turning black into white and living into dead.

A lie repeated a hundred times becomes the truth.

The problem is that both Howard and William have been to Tenglong Island and entered the space launch site.

To be honest, after seeing the facilities and hardware capabilities of the Tenglong Island Space Launch Site, both of them were somewhat apprehensive.

More importantly, the intelligence agencies of the United States launched a large-scale cyberattack against the Tenglong Island space launch site, only to be slapped hard in the face.

Westerners are actually more fragile than people imagine. Even if they fail once, they will feel that the matter is difficult to handle and will feel fear, worrying that they will fail again next time.

But upon a second failure, they will collapse. They may even completely surrender.

The reason for this situation is that they lack historical background and strong beliefs.

In some ways, Westerners have less confidence in themselves than some Easterners have more confidence in themselves or in the West.

Li Changxi pointed to Lin Chuyi and said, "This is President Lin Chuyi. She is the one who will carry out this operation."

Howard and the others nodded in approval and didn't dwell on the matter any further.

For them, the people of the beacon of light, as long as someone is doing the work, that's enough. They don't care how the work is done or what the process is like.

What they care about is the final result.

If Li Changxi can really achieve his goal, that would be a good thing. The Li family could be credited for their contributions, and it wouldn't be unreasonable to give them some benefits.

Howard said, "Alright, let's talk about some important things. Mr. Li, I think you should now have a better understanding of the situation at the Tenglong Island Space Launch Site, right?"

Li Changxi nodded: "Yes, Mr. Howard, to be honest, we are now spending a lot of our energy gathering intelligence on that space launch site, and it's been quite fruitful."

"Could you explain this to us? We'd really like to know what's going on right now."

"No problem at all."

Li Changxi looked at Lin Chuyi sitting next to him, indicating that he wanted her to explain.

In fact, Lin Chuyi is the boss of Xingyue Media, a capable assistant recently cultivated by the Li family, and an extremely important figure.

Lin Chuyi graduated from Yale University in the United States and has a deep understanding of media. At a young age, she founded a media studio in the United States and achieved considerable influence.

That media outlet is still around, and Lin Chuyi remains the behind-the-scenes boss, controlling things remotely.

After returning to Hong Kong Island, Lin Chuyi received support from the Li family, who provided her with both financial and human resources. She then founded Star Joy Media, which has already begun to make a name for itself in Hong Kong's media industry.

Xingyue Media even plans to expand into the mainland in the future, and Lin Chuyi was directly responsible for investigating the Tenglong Island Space Launch Site and conducting certain media operations on it.

Most of the employees at Xingyue Media were unaware of Lin Chuyi's motives for doing this, or the fact that the Li family was behind it. Even those who knew a little were only vaguely aware of it.

As for how Lin Chuyi investigated the Hu family's Tenglong Island, she naturally had her own methods and channels. She was very capable and the results were quite good. Even Li Changxi was amazed by Lin Chuyi's abilities and wondered how she did it.

At this moment, Lin Chuyi nodded and began to speak slowly, still in British English, with clear and accurate pronunciation, her level almost equivalent to her native language.

After all, he is a high-achieving student who has lived abroad for many years, so such basic skills are a piece of cake for him.

"The Tenglong Island Space Launch Site will launch an experimental rocket within a month. The rocket manufacturer is Star Glory, a private commercial aerospace company in mainland China. This is a medium-sized experimental rocket, which should be considered a milestone achievement."

"Furthermore, according to our information, Middle Eastern company Maintech has reached a cooperation agreement with Star Glory. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, Maintech's medium-orbit satellite may be launched on Star Glory's experimental rocket."

Lin Chuyi glanced at Howard and continued, "It's worth mentioning that, it's said that Main Technology was previously in talks with SpethX to launch this important satellite, but the negotiations were terminated for some reason, and they then turned to Tenglong Island to establish a cooperative relationship."

Howard felt a little uncomfortable upon hearing this. He shrugged and said, "Maybe there is such a thing. You know, this isn't my responsibility, and I'm not really sure either. But I've met the people from Main Technologies. They're a bunch of arrogant Middle Easterners who think they can do whatever they want just because they have money. Speth X doesn't want to work with a company like that."

It's obvious that this isn't Middle Eastern arrogance; it's Speth X who's arrogant.

SpasX is indeed capable and powerful, but it has become accustomed to bullying its customers because of its size, which is no secret.

Lin Chuyi added, "In addition, the GAS Group and Meta Technology from the United States have signed a cooperation agreement with the Tenglong Island Space Launch Site. They plan to launch a lunar orbiter in the future, but the specific launch time has not yet been determined."

Howard coughed lightly: "We know about this too. To be honest, it's part of the plan, but we can't reveal the specifics. It's confidential. You understand."

Li Changxi replied respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Howard, we are well aware that the United States must keep key secrets confidential, and we will not inquire about these matters."

Howard asked Lin Chuyi, "Ms. Lin, do you have any other news about the Tenglong Island space launch site?"

Lin Chuyi said, "There doesn't seem to be any other definite news at the moment. However, based on my observation, the Tenglong Island Space Launch Site is developing very well, especially its reputation, which is also rising rapidly. This is because Hu Jiangshan recently went to Singapore as a representative of Hong Kong entrepreneurs and performed very well, so he has gained a certain degree of fame. Some clients may approach Hu Jiangshan to discuss cooperation."

Although Li Changxi already knew about these things, hearing them again still made him look serious and his brows furrow.

Li Changxi disliked hearing Hu Jiangshan showing off.

Li Changxi didn't make it to Singapore, but Hu Jiangshan did. If this had happened a year ago, who would have believed such a thing?

After Lin Chuyi finished speaking, she took a sip of coffee, her demeanor elegant, calm, and natural, exuding the aura of a strong woman.

Howard said, "Not bad, you've done a very good job, it's amazing. Mr. Li, you have outstanding talent. This Ms. Lin is not only beautiful, but also very capable."

As he spoke, Howard gave a meaningful look. Li Changxi, of course, knew what Howard was thinking. Howard probably thought that Lin Chuyi had already been taken by him, but in fact, she hadn't at all.

Li Changxi wanted to, but Lin Chuyi was too proud and refused both the explicit and implicit requests. Li Changxi couldn't do anything about it because Lin Chuyi reported directly to Grandpa Superman and was a special talent in the company. There was no way to force her to do anything.

Howard said, "We are planning to take some action on the Tenglong Island space launch site soon, so I wanted to let Mr. Li know in advance that we may need your cooperation."

Li Changxi's eyes lit up. He was very excited as long as someone dealt with Hu Jiangshan; it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Li Changxi said, "Mr. Howard, if there's anything you need me to do, just let me know, and I'll mobilize all resources to fully cooperate."

Howard said, "Great, now there's something I'd like to ask you for help with."

“Mr. Howard, please speak.” Li Changxi pretended to listen attentively.

"There's a resort on Tenglong Island, Mr. Li should know about it, right?"

Li Changxi paused for a moment, then nodded: "I have indeed heard of it, but as for the specifics..."

Li Changxi turned his head to look at Lin Chuyi again.

Lin Chuyi immediately said, "The resort will begin trial operation next week, and rooms are already available for booking. As far as I know, the owner is Ms. Catherine Guise."

“…Huh? Ms. Catherine Guise?”

Li Changxi was quite surprised to learn that the resort on Tenglong Island was actually run by Ms. Guise.

Li Changxi knew that Katherine Guise and Hu Jiangshan had a good relationship, but he didn't expect it to be this good, that the two would actually start working together.

Moreover, Hu Jiangshan handed over the Tenglong Island resort to Ms. Guise, which is equivalent to becoming Ms. Guise's boss. Isn't this going against the natural order?

Could Guss tolerate this?

Li Changxi asked, "Mr. Howard, since the resort is run by Ms. Guss, is there anything I can do to help?"

Howard said, "Of course, we've already mentioned the news. After the resort's trial operation, there will be some opening celebrations, and many celebrities will be invited to perform and walk the runway. I hope that we can place our people in the teams of these celebrities to make it easier for us to do some things."

Li Changxi was a smart man and immediately understood Howard's intention.

The Li family owns a media company, making it easy for them to place people in their artists' teams.

Even Xingyue Media, which is headed by Lin Chuyi, can do this.

But upon closer inspection, it doesn't make much sense. If the resort owner is Katherine Guise, wouldn't it be better to just contact her directly?
Why would Howard and his team go to such lengths instead of seeking a more convenient option? It hints at a conspiracy.

Li Changxi dared not raise any objections and immediately said, "No problem, we can handle this anytime."

"That's good. We'll contact you again later, dear Mr. Li."

"Of course, of course. It is an honor for the Li family and a glory for me to serve you. I will do my best!"

Li Changxi was almost about to say "go through fire and water," but even if he had, these foreigners probably wouldn't have understood the full meaning of the phrase, even though Howard knew a little Chinese.

Howard seems to have achieved his goal, so we won't bother him any longer.

With that, Howard stood up and shook hands with Li Changxi.

As he spoke, Li Changxi glanced at William.

This person hadn't said a word since the beginning, but his eyes were very sharp and piercing, clearly indicating that he was an extremely intelligent person with a very active mind.

At the same time, he is also a dangerous individual.

Li Changxi saw Howard, William and their group to the door, and then talked to Lin Chuyi as he walked back.

Lin Chuyi hesitated, as if she had something to say but didn't know how to speak.

Li Changxi said, "President Lin, we have no outsiders here. You can speak your mind directly without any reservations."

"Okay, Mr. Li, I think there might be risks in getting involved in this matter?"

"Risk? What risks? Explain in detail."

Lin Chuyi organized her thoughts and said, "President Li, they are from the United States, and I feel that William is connected to the intelligence department. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I feel it's very dangerous."

Lin Chuyi, having lived in the United States for a long time, was quite knowledgeable about it and had a keen sense of intuition. She had indeed guessed William's identity correctly, but Li Changxi would not give her a definite answer.

No matter how obvious it is, we must not expose the intelligence agents of the United States; this is what Li Changxi's superhuman grandfather told him.

Seeing that Li Changxi remained silent, Lin Chuyi continued, "President Li, we don't know what the United States is up to. If we cooperate with them completely, what if something goes wrong and we get dragged into it? That would be a losing proposition."

Lin Chuyi meant well; she was worried about implicating the Li family, and even more worried about causing trouble for herself.

Lin Chuyi is self-aware. She is indeed very important to the Li family and has great potential. But if the Li family has to find someone to take the blame, Lin Chuyi is definitely a more suitable person.

Li Changxi glanced at Lin Chuyi and smiled: "Don't worry, this matter won't involve the Li family, nor will it involve you. If anything really happens, I guarantee you can get out of there in time. This is Hong Kong Island, not some other place. I'm confident in that, understand?"

"clear."

Since things had already come to this point, Lin Chuyi could say nothing more.

Let's just do what needs to be done. After all, Lin Chuyi is just an executor, someone who does the work for others.

As for Li Changxi's promise, Lin Shuyi didn't believe it at all. She wasn't that naive. Such words were useless to these so-called upper-class people; they were like farting.

Li Changxi added, "By the way, the public opinion campaign targeting the Tenglong Island space launch site must continue; it cannot stop. If we're going to do it, we must do it to the extreme."

Lin Chuxin nodded and agreed: "I will take some more time to think it over."
