Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 565 Media Attack Plan: A Plan to Turn Black into White

Hu Jiangshan changed into a bodyguard's uniform in the car, though it was just an outer jacket.

To be honest, although the bodyguard's jacket was a little big, it was not bad overall, and Hu Jiangshan could pull it off.

Despite his slender build, Hu Jiangshan actually has broad shoulders, making him look quite upright and presentable in well-tailored clothes.

Catherine sized up Hu Jiangshan a few times and said, "Mr. Hu, you're pretty cool."

Hu Jiangshan chuckled: "Thank you, Catherine. Don't tell me you don't have any cool guys around you."

"But there's no one like you."

"Okay, I'll take this as a compliment."

Catherine raised an eyebrow: "I was just praising you."

As she spoke, Catherine handed Hu Jiangshan a pair of sunglasses.

Sunglasses are the soul of a bodyguard; their function is not just to look cool, but primarily to obscure vision.

Many patrolling police officers also like to wear sunglasses.

Hu Jiangshan put on sunglasses and felt more at ease.

Catherine glanced at it a few more times and said, "Boss Hu is even cooler now, he looks a bit like a character from a movie."

"The villain in the movie, right?"

"Oh, I didn't say that."

The two chatted as they got out of the car.

Reporters standing nearby glanced over and tried to approach, but were immediately stopped by the security personnel on the perimeter.

Catherine's identity is special, so her security level is at its maximum. There's no need for the bodyguards she brought; the dock security can stop them.

To be fair, Hu Jiangshan didn't receive such treatment.

Although the reporters were somewhat suspicious of Hu Jiangshan's attire, they were too far away to see clearly.

In addition, they couldn't get close enough, so they could only peer out from a distance, whispering and discussing amongst themselves.

A moment later, Hu Jiangshan and Catherine, escorted by two bodyguards, arrived at a berth.

This is a large berth that can accommodate two ships or one large ship.

What's docked now is a super-sized yacht.

This yacht is called the Goddess of North America. It is said to be the longest private yacht on the entire planet, with a length of over 180 meters, a width of over 20 meters, and a tonnage of over 10,000 tons.

As you can tell from the name, this ship was definitely custom-made, one of the masterpieces of the German shipyard, with a cost of 6.5 million lighthouse dollars.

It's no wonder it was arranged for Catherine Guise; just by looking at its appearance, it's no ordinary vessel.

A three-deck yacht this wide can be kept safe even in the face of a super storm.

Hu Jiangshan boarded the ship and looked at the luxurious deck pool, which was standard practice; it even had an elevator.

Hu Jiangshan entered the ultra-luxurious lounge and said with a smile, "This is the life of the rich. It makes us ordinary people envious."

Catherine glanced at Hu Jiangshan: "Mr. Hu, are you kidding me? Do you like this yacht? I can give it to you."

Hu Jiangshan chuckled: "No way, I wouldn't dare accept that."

This yacht isn't a car. A yacht like this would definitely be worth hundreds of millions, specifically in lighthouse dollars.

A moment later, the large yacht began to slowly leave the dock and sail out to sea.

The weather wasn't great today, but the large ship was very stable on the sea. It rocked a little occasionally, but overall it was very stable, at least compared to the Seahorse.

Of course, if it's about driving a boat, Hu Jiangshan still prefers the Haima, which is very agile and offers an exceptional driving experience, much like the difference between a comfortable car and a more maneuverable one.

Half an hour later, Tenglong Island was already in sight.

Hu Jiangshan breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't expected the trip to the island to be so full of twists and turns, just like a journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

Fortunately, Hu Jiangshan met Catherine, a great benefactor, otherwise it would have been very difficult for him to escape from the dock today.

Just then, Hu Jiangshan received a message.

It was sent by Zhou Yuezhu.

"Boss, my situation is a bit complicated, and I can't get away for the time being."

Hu Jiangshan replied, "It's alright, I've already taken another boat to Tenglong Island. You don't need to worry, just come and meet me later."

Zhou Yuezhu immediately replied with a "Okay".

Meanwhile, at the Baisha Bay Yacht Club Marina.

Zhou Yuezhu is experiencing a bizarre event.

At first, Zhou Yuezhu thought these media reporters were crazy, wanting to interview Hu Jiangshan and get first-hand information, namely information about the rocket launch at the space launch site.

But gradually, Zhou Yuezhu felt that something was not right.

The main problem is that these reporters' behavior is very abnormal; some are overly proactive and aggressive.

They surrounded Zhou Yuezhu for a long time, trying every means to hold her back, their persistence was outrageous.

These people definitely have other motives; it's definitely not just a simple matter of wanting to conduct an interview.

If Zhou Yuezhu wanted to leave, she could, but she still wanted to figure out exactly what was going on.

Zhou Yuezhu found an opportunity to pull a reporter she knew aside and, after questioning him, discovered that there was indeed something suspicious about it.

According to the reporter, they received instructions from their newspaper leadership to specifically find several targets and, once they found one, to use every means to entangle them, preventing them from moving their nest and, more importantly, from boarding the ship to Tenglong Island.

Moreover, they dispatched a large number of people, and even had their people watching other major ports.

More importantly, it wasn't just their newspaper; people from other media organizations were also involved.

Their targets were none other than the senior executives of Jiangshan Group, including Hu Jiangshan and Zhou Yuezhu, all of whom were within their target range.

Of course, the most important target is still Hu Jiangce. As long as we keep him occupied, the mission will definitely be accomplished.

As for who gave the order and what their purpose was, Zhou Yuesheng couldn't get a clear answer.

After all, this reporter was of a relatively low rank and not part of the newspaper's management, so naturally he wouldn't know the detailed inside story.

At this moment, not far away, a person was watching Zhou Yuezhu's situation with a rather unpleasant expression.

This person is the deputy editor-in-chief of the Hong Kong Island Daily, named Fung Hing-lam.

Feng Xinglin was in his forties, wore glasses, and had a scar on his face, so if you looked closely, he would look somewhat ferocious.

In fact, Feng Xinglin was indeed a ruthless man. In his early years, he was a gangster, and fighting was commonplace for him. Later, by chance, he joined a newspaper, retired from the underworld, and became a cultured man. As Feng Xinglin got older, he naturally stopped doing those violent things. Occasionally, when he had some shady business to handle, he would hire a group of henchmen to do it for him. So, at his core, Feng Xinglin was still a member of the underworld.

Feng Xinglin looked at Zhou Yuezhu's side, which remained unchanged, sighed, and said to someone beside him, "Ahua, has the others seen Hu Jiangshan yet?"

Ahua shook his head: "No, we haven't received any news yet. Hu Jiangshan hasn't shown up at all; it's like he's disappeared."

A thought struck Feng Xinglin: "Could he have changed his car?"

"...Switching vehicles? It's not impossible, but we've paid special attention to every vehicle entering the dock. With so many of us, we shouldn't have missed anyone. If he switched vehicles, we should have been able to detect it."

"So what exactly happened? Did Hu Jiangshan not go to Tenglong Island? Or did he switch to another port to set sail?"

“We also have people watching over the other docks. I think even if Hu Jiangshan turned into a fly, he wouldn’t be able to get out.”

"Don't be careless. Hu Jiangshan is not the spendthrift he used to be. I heard that the kid has become quite capable. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to handle such a big mess."

Ah Jun thought for a moment and said, "Brother Feng, could he be faking it?"

"You think he's faking it?"

“I think so. How could one person change so much? I’ve met Hu Jiangshan before. He’s a terrible person. He’s not going to amount to anything.”

Feng Xinglin waved his hand: "I don't want to hear any of this, and I don't care what kind of person Hu Jiangshan is. I just want to capture him and prevent him from going to Tenglong Island."

Ah Jun thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that he's too scared to come out? He's hiding in his apartment."

"Impossible. Our people have been watching him in the apartment the whole time. He did drive out, in that old BMW."

"Where did he go? That's really weird. He can't just keep waiting at the dock entrance."

Feng Xinglin fell silent for a moment. He had thought this matter would be easy to accomplish, but he hadn't expected it to be more complicated than he had imagined.

It seems that Hu Jiangshan has indeed become quite cunning, completely different from before. He is no longer the impulsive and brainless spendthrift he once was.

Fortunately, no one has seen Hu Jiangshan leave Hong Kong Island and go to Tenglong Island, otherwise it would mean his mission has failed.

Just then, Feng Xinglin's cell phone rang.

[Caller ID: Mr. Guo]

Feng Xinglin answered the phone immediately.

"Hey, Mr. Guo, yes, I'm at Baisha Bay, keeping an eye on things from the pier."

"It's strange, there are so many of us, but we haven't seen Hu Jiangshan at all. We don't know where he went."

"Yes, Hu Jiangshan did go out; he should be coming to the dock."

"Okay, Mr. Guo, don't worry, we will keep a close eye on things and will never let our guard down."

Feng Xinglin hung up the phone and said to A Jun, "Did you hear that? Chairman Guo is very concerned about this matter. We must do our best to handle it well and absolutely cannot let Hu Jiangshan get away with it."

Ah Jun nodded, responded, and quickly made the call.

Time is tight, the task is heavy, and the higher-ups are watching closely. This job is indeed difficult, but if done well, the rewards will be substantial.

Guo Dong is actually Guo Pingjiang, the head of one of the largest families in Hong Kong.

Guo Pingjiang wields immense power; he can command considerable influence, at least in Hong Kong.

At this moment, Guo Pingjiang was with Li Ziji.

The two sat on the terrace of a luxurious villa on Victoria Peak, drinking and talking while enjoying the mountain breeze.

Guo Pingjiang put down his phone and told Li Ziji what Feng Xinglin had just said.

Li Ziji frowned: "Hu Jiangshan hasn't shown up yet? Where could he have gone? Weren't they keeping an eye on him on the way?"

Guo Pingjiang sighed: "They only saw Hu Jiangshan drive back from his apartment in Victoria Harbour, but they couldn't keep up on the way. However, it's certain that he did go to the White Sand Bay Yacht Club Marina, but we don't know why he didn't go in."

Li Ziji clicked his tongue: "Did Hu Jiangshan discover something that made him think he can't enter the yacht club marina?"

Guo Pingjiang paused for a moment: "It shouldn't be, how could Hu Jiangshan possibly know that he has such strong vigilance?"

Li Ziji sneered: "That's not necessarily true. You saw it yesterday too. Hu Jiangshan is indeed different from before. He looks very shrewd and is completely different from before."

Guo Pingjiang thought for a moment and said, "You know what, it's really interesting. Hu Jiangshan looks quite respectable now. He's changed so much in just one year. What's even more outrageous is that Hu Jiangshan has such a good relationship with Catherine Guise. No one would doubt that they're a couple."

"So we can't underestimate Hu Jiangshan. He might already be on Tenglong Island."

Guo Pingjiang was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Chairman Li, if he really comes to Tenglong Island, then our plan will be difficult to implement."

Li Ziji laughed: "There's nothing wrong with doing it. It just takes more effort and energy, but it won't be ineffective."

"Shall we proceed according to plan?"

Li Ziji nodded: "Yes, regardless of whether Hu Jiangshan has arrived at Tenglong Island or not, we must do our job well. The rest is up to luck. If the launch from Tenglong Island fails, that would be even better."

"Chairman Li, what if the launch is successful?"

"It doesn't matter if the rocket launch is successful. It can't be without any problems. There will always be some minor flaws. As long as we find them, we'll have something to say. We can hype it up, and even if it's a success, we can say it wasn't. Then Hu Jiangshan will be unable to defend himself. What will he do then?"

Guo Pingdong smiled and gave Li Ziji a thumbs up: "Chairman Li is really capable. No matter what, the plan will succeed."

Li Ziji waved his hand: "Don't be too sure of anything yet. We can only say that if we follow the plan, our chances of success are relatively high, but there is still a possibility of failure."

"As long as Chairman Li is in charge, I don't think there's any possibility of failure."

Li Ziji smiled.

With a "clink," the two clinked glasses and then drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp.

The so-called "plan" was indeed proposed by Li Ziji.

The plan was simple: to use the media to tarnish the reputation of the Tenglong Island space launch site.

Regardless of whether this space launch is successful or not, the power of the media can be used to "demonstrate its failure".

This is not impossible; in fact, similar things have been accomplished many times on Earth.

If enough resources, media outlets, and a large enough presence are invested, the facts can definitely be turned upside down.

So the first step was to prevent Hu Jiangshan from appearing at the space launch site on time.

For such an important first rocket launch mission, the fact that Hu Jiangshan, as the boss, was not present on-site demonstrates that he is an irresponsible boss.

A boss like that could never accomplish something this big.

Just then, Li Ziji's cell phone rang.

Li Ziji's expression changed, and he answered the phone.

"...What? Hu Jiangshan has already arrived at Tenglong Island?"
