Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 544 Successfully pulled off the charade; Boss Hu helps solve the key problem.
Hu Jiangshan walked over.

Zhang Rui quickly introduced them to Zona, Lambert, and the others.

Hu Jiangshan said, "Welcome everyone to Tenglong Island."

Zona originally thought that Hu Jiangshan needed Zhang Rui as a translator, but she didn't expect that he would speak fluent Lao Lun duan dialect as soon as he opened his mouth.

The simple greeting might have been practiced, but everything Hu Jiangshan said afterward was at the same level. He spoke British fluently, even a little better than the Frenchmen.

At this moment, Zhang Rui told Hu Jiangshan about the situation here.

Hu Jiangshan listened attentively while watching the satellite that had just arrived, observing it very carefully.

Zona whispered to Lambert, "This boss looks very young and is very meticulous."

Lambert glanced at Zona and said meaningfully, "Zona, you young women always stare at other people's faces, but that doesn't mean he's a good boss."

Zona understood what Lambert meant.

In other words, a man's looks are unreliable; it's more important to look at his actual abilities.

However, to be fair, Hu Jiangshan speaks British very well. His fluency and logic are even better than those of native Britons, and it is very comfortable to communicate with him.

As for whether Hu Jiangshan has real skills, it's really hard to say.

Besides, what bosses need is management skills; as long as the company can be run well, that's enough.

Lambert seemed to see through Zona's thoughts: "If it were an ordinary company boss, there wouldn't be many requirements, but this is an aerospace company. If you don't understand aerospace technology, how can you run it well? Zona, I don't think so."

Zona thought about it and realized that Lambert's words made sense.

Aerospace companies are indeed different; they require technology and high technology in every aspect. If the boss doesn't understand these things, he can easily be deceived by his subordinates and it will be difficult to run the company well.

At this moment, Hu Jiangshan saw that Fang Xiaoya and the others were busy, and sometimes they would discuss something, and the atmosphere was quite tense.

Hu Jiangshan asked Zhang Rui, "What's the situation now?"

"Boss, they've run into some trouble, but they're working on it."

Zhang Rui briefly explained the situation to Hu Jiangshan.

Zhang Xian isn't in the aerospace industry, but recently, because he's also in charge of affairs at the space launch site, he's learned some things. After all, he's a science and technology person, so he learns technical things relatively quickly, which is why Zhang Rui described it so clearly.

Hu Jiangshan immediately understood that this was no small problem; if it wasn't resolved, it would affect the satellite launch.

Hu Jiangshan walked towards Fang Xiaoya.

Zona was curious and wanted to see what Hu Jiangce was going to do, so she quickly followed him.

Lambert, however, looked unconvinced.

Bosses like Hu Jiangshan are just watching the show; they don't actually do anything.

Hu Jiangshan asked, "Engineer Fang, what's the situation now?"

Fang Xiaoya was so engrossed in her work that she only realized Hu Jiangshan had arrived at this moment. She said, "One of the parameters is abnormal. We are currently investigating where the problem lies."

Hu Jiangshan frowned as he looked at the dense data on the screen.

The various components on rockets are now very complex, making emergency troubleshooting very difficult. If the direction of the troubleshooting is wrong, then it's all for nothing.

This is actually the difficulty of space launch and space projects. The technical aspect is not the most difficult part; the difficulty lies in preventing problems and quickly identifying and resolving them when they occur.

Lambert was also an aerospace expert, so Zona asked for his opinion.

"Mr. Lambert, how would you and your team handle this situation?"

Lambert shook his head: "In this situation, the wisest course of action is to suspend the launch, find out the problem slowly, and then continue the launch after it is resolved."

Zona paused for a moment: "Wouldn't that take a long time? As far as I know, space launch projects have launch windows."

"That's right. If we miss this launch, it will be quite a while before we can wait for the next suitable launch opportunity."

Zona looked at what Hu Jiangshan had said; it seemed he really wanted to help.

Lambert laughed: "Zona, don't overthink it. He's just standing there and he'll only make things worse. He won't do anything positive."

"So how will things develop? Mr. Lambert, what's your prediction? Will the rocket launch be postponed?"

I don't think it will be postponed?

"No delay? Then won't the success rate of this rocket launch be very low?"

"Of course, I think this rocket will never succeed."

Zona was speechless for a moment. Lambert's judgment might be correct, but Zona was somewhat inclined to side with Hu Jiangshan and hoped that the Rockets' development could be successful.

The reason is simple: the boss, Hu Jiangshan, is too good-looking, perfectly matching Zuo Na's aesthetic.

However, Fang Xiaoya started talking to Hu Jiangshan, and they seemed to be having a very in-depth conversation. They were speaking in Mandarin and pointing at the screen, and the topic seemed to involve technical matters.

Lambert frowned, thinking that Hu Jiangshan was just putting on an act.

After all, there are media people present. In order to create hype, these bosses will usually do anything. Western business managers are best at this kind of thing, and China should be no exception.

Zona sensed something was off. Hu Jiangshan seemed very engrossed, staring intently at the screen for a long time, and even operating the function keys, seemingly adjusting some value.

Fang Xiaoya's expression remained unchanged, though she showed slight surprise and even a hint of anticipation.

If Hu Jiangshan is putting on a show, engaging in publicity stunts in front of the media, then his acting skills are truly impressive, requiring the cooperation of Fang Xiaoya and others.

Hu Jiangshan should definitely get his hands on the golden statuette from the United States.

Just then, Hu Jiangshan finished adjusting the functions, and new information appeared on the screen. He then exchanged some words with Fang Xiaoya, who then gave a few instructions to her colleagues.

The entire team is back in full swing.

A few minutes later, the entire team suddenly burst into cheers.

Fang Xiaoya seemed relieved.

Lambert was dumbfounded.

Zona couldn't help but ask Zhang Rui, "What happened?"

Zhang Rui said with a smile, "The boss solved the problem for them."

"...Huh? Your boss?"

"Correct."

"Your boss is so capable? He even knows aerospace technology?"

Zhang Rui smiled slightly and said in British English, "Of course, our boss is a well-rounded individual. His aerospace technology is superb; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to set up such a large operation."

"This...is truly unbelievable."

Zona looked at Lambert, her head full of question marks. This was completely different from Lambert's judgment.

Lambert was speechless. He really hadn't expected that Hu Jiangshan would actually understand aerospace technology. What was even more outrageous was that he understood it even better than the technical team at Starry Sky Glory.

Fang Xiaoya and the others had been investigating for a long time but couldn't find the problem. Hu Jiangshan came over and solved it so quickly? Of course, it's also possible that Hu Jiangshan was incredibly lucky and stumbled upon the right solution by sheer chance.

Another possibility is that all these people are "actors," putting on a show for their boss, Hu Jiangshan.

But was it really necessary to go through all this trouble and put on such a show?
This doesn't make sense!

Moreover, taking photos and videos is prohibited here, so the benefits of performing this scene are not significant.

Lambert was indeed somewhat bewildered; his judgments had been repeatedly wrong, which was tantamount to being repeatedly struck by a barrage of blows.

Lambert thought it over and over, but still didn't believe that Hu Jiangshan was really an aerospace expert, and still thought there was something fishy going on.

However, Lambert no longer dared to voice his judgment; he felt that the truth would soon be revealed.

Once the satellite is installed, it's immediately clear whether all the functional connections and tests are successful.

Moments later, the Star Glory team began operating the equipment to transfer the satellite to the rocket's payload bay.

This indicates that the connection between the satellite and the rocket has been completed.

More than half an hour later, the satellite was in place, and the Star Glory team cheered again.

If these people are all actors, their acting skills are truly superb; there's absolutely no flaw in their performances.

Are all Chinese people such good actors? Of course not, that idea is just wishful thinking, even Lambert wouldn't think that way.

The crucial moment has arrived. After the satellite enters the payload bay, it will undergo overall debugging and a few final rounds of checks.

If everything passes, it means the rocket can be launched normally.

If it fails, then there will be big trouble. The problem will need to be investigated again, and even if the problem is found, several rounds of testing will need to be done again.

In extreme cases, the satellite might even be removed from the payload bay and re-tested separately.

Space projects have always been this complicated; even the slightest mistake can affect the final launch results.

Success depends on the details; there can be no room for carelessness.

There's a famous saying in China's aerospace industry: the most time-consuming and energy-intensive part of aerospace projects is checking whether the screws are tightened.

This statement is by no means an exaggeration.

This time, Lambert took it seriously and carefully watched the Starry Sky Glory team conduct their testing.

Lambert is also an aerospace expert who has worked at launch sites, and he is also familiar with these debugging devices.

Lambert was able to spot any problems that arose.

What was Hu Jiangshan doing while the Starry Sky Glory team was busy?
Lambert turned his head to look for Boss Hu, only to find Hu Jiangshan chatting with Zona and Zhang Rui.

The three of them were chatting and laughing, each holding a cup of coffee.

Sure enough, this young master still preferred doing that kind of thing.

At this point, the testing work entered a critical stage, and the results were about to be available.

It was hard for Fang Xiaoya and her team members not to be nervous. They stared at their respective equipment screens and would occasionally report data and testing procedures aloud.

At this moment, Zona asked Hu Jiangshan curiously, "Boss Hu, you seemed to be helping the Starry Sky Glory team solve a problem just now, and it seems you succeeded, is that right?"

Hu Jiangshan said, "Yes, it only solved a small problem."

Zhang Rui glanced at Hu Jiangshan and thought to himself, "My boss is really good at pretending, especially in front of beautiful women. He's like a little prince of showing off."

The boss just solved a very minor problem; it was clearly a crucial one.

If this problem cannot be solved, then it will be impossible to install the satellite into the payload bay.

The best outcome would be a launch with an empty capsule, essentially a rocket launch experiment.

Although the original plan was for Star Glory to launch an experimental rocket without intending to carry a satellite into space, now that the satellite is in place, it's best to install it to save costs.

If it is ultimately not completed, it is equivalent to not earning the money that should have been earned, which is a pure loss.

This is a huge loss for both Starry Sky Glory and Main Technology.

Of course, there is another option: to postpone the rocket launch and wait until the rocket and satellite are fully tested and ready for launch.

However, such a choice is also very costly, and may even be more so.

Once the rocket launch time is determined, preparations must begin, requiring the mobilization of all human and material resources, which is extremely costly.

If the launch is postponed, a lot of preparation work will be wasted, and it will have to be done all over again.

More importantly, both Star Glory and MyN Technology are private companies. For major projects like launching rockets, they would issue press releases to the media in advance and organize media publicity activities.

If the rocket launch is delayed, it will be a huge blow to the commercial reputation of both companies.

Hu Jiangshan could have stepped in to help solve this problem in a timely manner, a gesture that would have been worth a fortune and invaluable reputation. Yet, he delivered such a dismissive remark, which truly left Zhang Rui quite speechless.

Zhang Rui was fortunate that Hu Jiangshan was his boss and direct supervisor. If he were the boss of a competitor's company, it would be truly terrifying.

Then we shouldn't bother. We can't win anyway, so the company might as well just go bankrupt.

Looking at Zona's eyes now, they are sparkling, clearly showing that she has a good impression of Hu Jiangshan.

Surprisingly, Hu Jiangshan also speaks French, although not as fluently as British French, but enough for everyday conversation.

Zhang Rui was puzzled. Could it be that his boss had also spent time in France?
The boss is so young, yet he has so much experience; it's really uncanny.

Just then, the Starry Sky Glory team cheered again, full of praise, and some even clapped.

There is no doubt that the test results are in, and they are not bad.

"Wow! Monitoring complete, I passed!"

"I passed too!"

"Test passed! No problem!"

"Wow! Does that mean we're almost done with the preparations?"

"Of course! I guarantee there won't be any more problems after this!"

Fang Xiaoya's expression was also relaxed as she said, "Alright, alright, everyone, don't get too excited or overconfident. This is only the first round of testing. We still need to do two more rounds, plus one more in-depth test. Don't be careless."

"Understood, boss!"

Fang Xiaoya was indeed relieved. She had originally planned to work hard and possibly have to work overtime all night, but she didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

Of course, we have to thank Hu Jiangshan for this. If he hadn't provided the solution, it's hard to say whether we could have solved the problem at all, and we might still be struggling.

Fang Xiaoya already admired Hu Jiangshan quite a bit and didn't think what happened just now was just good luck.

This guy really knows everything; there are probably very few experts like him even in the national aerospace team.
