Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 569 The Flexible Aerospace Expert

Yuan Caihua nodded and thanked her.

Pang Xiaoyun smiled slightly: "That's perfect. Would you mind if I came along for the tour?"

Hongjie glanced at Pang Xiaoyun: "Xiaoyun, you really have a lot of free time."

"What, Sister Hong, you don't welcome me?"

"No, that won't do. If you want to go, of course you're welcome. Let's go then."

As she spoke, Sister Hong stood up and walked out while chatting with Yuan Caihua.

Pang Xiaoyun was somewhat surprised by the attitude of Sister Hong and the others.

Could it be that they really managed to book three vacation homes?

No, the possibility is slim, or even extremely low.

What Pang Xiaoyun just said was not an exaggeration. It is indeed very difficult to book a room at Tenglong Island Resort, especially for the next two days. It's extremely difficult and cannot be done with money.

Let alone vacation homes, even regular hotel rooms are in high demand now.

Pang Xiaoyun believed that Hong Jie and Yuan Caihua could only book hotel rooms at most, and they would need to use a lot of personal connections to do so.

As for holiday homes, it's not impossible for them to book one, but no more than that.

Just now, Sister Hong and Yuan Caihua said they had booked three holiday homes, but Pang Xiaoyun simply wouldn't believe it.

Unless you're the resort owner, no one can arrange three holiday homes for them at once!

With this in mind, Pang Xiaoyun was full of confidence and followed behind the group, wanting to see what these guys were up to and how they would fool her!

Are you kidding me?! Pang Xiaoyun isn't so easily fooled.

Once Hongjie and her gang's little tricks are exposed, see how Pang Xiaoyun humiliates them. Pang Xiaoyun is not the kind of person who will show mercy.

Yuan Caihua, Sister Hong, and others, led by a staff member of the resort, walked out of the lobby and came outside.

Follow the winding path to the side.

Pang Xiaoyun began to have doubts. That was the holiday home over there. Could it be that they had really booked a holiday home?
Even if you manage to book a vacation home, so what? There's no way you can have three rooms; you'd be lucky to get even one.

Yuan Caihua glanced back at Pang Xiaoyun and said, "Look, she really came along."

Sister Hong curled her lip: "Go ahead and follow along. Then she'll realize just how outrageous she is."

"That's true, it doesn't feel good to be slapped in the face in public."

At this point, Yuan Caihua and Sister Hong exchanged a smile.

Only then did everyone have the mind to check their surroundings.

The side of the road facing the bay is lined with holiday homes, each with its own style and layout, at least from the outside.

It's unimaginable how much manpower and resources it would take to build so many ancient buildings on an outlying island.

The wealthy ladies started gossiping again.

"These little houses are really unique."

"I really like the style of these houses. I wish I could build one myself."

"In my opinion, these old houses are so realistic that they could be mistaken for real ones. They could be used to film period movies."

"We've already filmed a reality show, so we can definitely film period movies in the future."

The group also discovered something else: there was really nothing modern to be seen here, not even the windows of the houses could be seen from the outside.

The resort staff stopped and said, "Gentlemen, this is the first resort. The two over there are also like this."

Upon hearing this, Pang Xiaoyun's eyes widened.

"What? They really booked three vacation homes?"

The staff member gave Pang Xiaoyun a strange look and replied, "Yes, it's these three rooms over here, connected together."

"This, how is this possible? You're lying, aren't you?"

Xiaoxia pouted: "I think you're really strange. It's one thing to say we lied to you, but why do you say the staff lied to you? What would they be after?"

"picture……"

Pang Xiaoyun couldn't find the right words to refute him for a moment.

By this time, everyone had entered the first holiday home, exclaiming in amazement. They then looked at the other two, and everyone was very satisfied and overjoyed.

Then other staff carried their luggage into the three holiday homes.

Pang Xiaoyun was stunned by what she saw outside; she was dumbfounded and speechless.

They actually booked three holiday homes.

How is that possible?! How did they do it?!
But this was the truth, and Pang Xiaoyun couldn't accept it for a while.

It's no exaggeration to say that Pang Xiaoyun's husband used all sorts of connections to book a holiday home.

At this moment, Sister Hong came out again, smiling, and said, "Xiaoyun, don't just stand here. Didn't you want to visit our holiday home? Come on in, I'll show you around my place first, and then we'll go..."

Before Sister Hong could finish speaking, Pang Xiaoyun quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no need, Sister Hong. I just remembered that I have something to do. I'll be going now."

"Hey? Don't go! What urgent matter could you possibly have? Let's chat for a bit before you leave."

"No need, no need, I really have something to do, Sister Hong. I'll come back and chat with you later. I really have to go now."

After saying that, Pang Xiaoyun turned around and ran away as fast as she could, without looking back.

Yuan Caihua happened to come out as well. Looking at Pang Xiaoyun's back, she couldn't help but say, "Wow, is she a race walker?"

Hongjie glanced at Yuan Caihua: "Caihua, you really know how to make fun of people."

"Likewise, you're not bad either."

Sister Hong laughed heartily, clearly in a very good mood.

Yuan Caihua said, "Sister Hong, it seems that Pang Xiaoyun will never dare to pretend in front of you again."

Sister Hong snorted coldly: "That's not necessarily true. She's known for never learning her lesson."

"Then hit her a few more times, she'll eventually learn her lesson."

"hope so."

Sister Hong said again, "Let's not stand here anymore, let's go inside and have a drink."

Yuan Caihua happily replied, "Great! Let's rest for a while and then go play in the water at the beach."

Night fell in the blink of an eye, and everything on Hong Kong Island seemed calm, but in fact, undercurrents were already swirling beneath the surface.

Almost all the important figures on Hong Kong Island are paying attention to one thing.

That is tonight's, no, to be precise, tomorrow morning's rocket launch.

In the studio of Hong Kong Island TV Online, staff are busy adjusting equipment in preparation for the upcoming live broadcast. Hong Kong Island TV Online is not a traditional media outlet in Hong Kong, but rather an online live streaming platform.

Live streaming platforms are generally managed by the government.

At that moment, in the lounge next to the studio, an elderly man with gray hair was drinking coffee and listening to a symphony.

This old man was clearly not Chinese, or at least not of Chinese descent.

He is Damite Lake, an aerospace expert from the United States.

Hong Kong TV went to great lengths to invite Damette over, spending a considerable amount of money and utilizing their very strong connections in the United States to finally get this big shot to come.

Why would Hong Kong Island TV do something like this?
This seems illogical, and a dedicated online media outlet for live streaming doesn't have that kind of capability.

This means that Hong Kong Island TV Online is being directed, or even ordered, by someone behind the scenes.

At that moment, a young-looking woman dressed smartly walked in.

This person's name is Meng Yushuang. He is a director and a member of the management team at Hong Kong Island TV Online.

Seeing that Damite was enjoying the music with his eyes closed, Meng Yushuang said in a low voice, "Mr. Rex, excuse me, Mr. Guo and the others will be here in a bit. They want to have a chat with you."

Damite opened his eyes and nodded: "OK, I'm fine."

Although Damite is old, he has no problem with his mental state at all.

Moreover, Damite came here for a huge reward, so he naturally wouldn't see any problem with his employer's requests as long as they were within his capabilities.

It's just a few words, nothing serious.

Damette can accept talking to someone for an hour.

Of course, Damite Lake is a renowned aerospace expert, a prestigious and authoritative figure in the aerospace field, and he still needs to maintain a certain air of authority.

A moment later, someone came in.

One of them was the Mr. Guo that Meng Yushuang had just mentioned. He was Guo Pingjiang, one of the most powerful tycoons in Hong Kong and the head of the Guo family.

There was also a young man, Li Changxi, Li Ziji's son.

Li Ziji was originally supposed to come along, but something came up and he was delayed, so Li Changxi came instead.

Li Changxi is a promising young member of the Li family who is being groomed for success. He is quite capable and, despite his young age, he is relatively reliable in handling matters.

Why are Guo Pingjiang and Li Changxi here?

The answer is self-evident: Hong Kong Island TV Online is a media outlet invested in by the Kwok family.

The reason why the Kwok family wields such power in Hong Kong Island, second only to the Lee family, is primarily due to their control over a large number of media outlets.

The painstaking effort, the enormous financial resources, and even the use of a private jet to bring Damit Lake over were all orders personally given by Guo Pingjiang.

At this moment, Guo Pingjiang and Li Changxi sat opposite Damite.

Soon someone brought coffee, and the three of them drank and chatted.

Guo Pingjiang and Li Changxi both speak good British, so they can communicate without a translator, and their conversations go quite smoothly.

Guo Pingjiang said, "Dear Mr. Lake, the important moment is about to begin. I hope you can say more to popularize more knowledge about aerospace and rocket launches among the ordinary people of Hong Kong Island."

Damette shrugged and said, "Of course, no problem. Isn't that why you asked me to come here?"

"Yes, that's exactly the purpose."

"Mr. Guo, please rest assured, I will handle this matter well."

At this point, Guo Pingjiang changed the subject and said, "However, the Tenglong Island Space Launch Site has only been built for less than a year, so there must be many loopholes and defects in its operation. Mr. Lei Ke needs to mention these aspects more during the live broadcast and provide evidence."

Li Changxi immediately added, "Yes, you are an expert in aerospace technology and have long been renowned throughout the entire planet. Everyone in the aerospace industry knows you. Others can listen to what you say and accept it more humbly. This is also very beneficial to the Tenglong Island Space Launch Site, helping them to improve and progress more quickly."

Damit was quite pleased with what the two said and agreed with a smile.

"Please rest assured, I know exactly what to say. The staff here have already conveyed your message, and I will do as you say."

Guo Pingjiang and Li Changxi exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems Damite Lake is quite savvy.

They were initially worried that aerospace experts like Damite, or scholars at the Blue Scale level, would generally have their own ideas, principles, and ways of doing things, and might not act according to their requirements.

Unexpectedly, they were overthinking it; Damite was more "obedient" than expected.

To put it bluntly, it's about being flexible.

In any case, this is a good thing for their plans.

Now, the Li family and the Guo family have the same goal: to discredit the Tenglong Island Space Launch Site, damage Hu Jiangshan's Jiangshan Group, and ultimately bring down the Hu family.

To be fair, it's quite an honor for the Hu family to be able to get these two powerful families to join forces, since either of them could easily wield considerable influence in Hong Kong.

This is precisely where the Li and Guo families excel; they have already noticed that the Hu family's recent situation is not right.

The Hu family's situation wasn't just bad, it was too good.

The Hu family is clearly gaining momentum. If this continues, it's hard to guarantee that they won't catch up, or even surpass you.

The key figure in the rise of the Hu family is Hu Jiangshan, the spendthrift son who was previously looked down upon by everyone and was annoying to all.

At this moment, Li Changxi asked, "By the way, Mr. Lei Ke, what do you think is the probability of the rocket launch from Tenglong Island being successful?"

Damit thought for a moment and replied, "Based on the launch site information you provided, I think this launch may be difficult to succeed. You know, a new launch site, whether it's the instruments and equipment or the personnel, needs to be fully trained. According to the information, the Tenglong Island Space Launch Site has only conducted one formal rocket launch experiment, which is far from enough."

Li Changxi and Guo Pingjiang listened attentively, their expressions growing better and their smiles deepening.

Damit's judgment was exactly what they needed.

Dammett added, "However, this is just my preliminary judgment. Nobody can predict a rocket launch. Maybe they'll just get lucky."

Li Changxi quickly waved his hand: "Mr. Lake, I trust your judgment and hope you can tell these things to the online audience truthfully."

"Of course, I will not only speak, but I will speak in more detail and more clearly."

Guo Pingjiang beamed with joy: "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Reich."

The three chatted about various things for a while before Guo Pingjiang and Li Changxi said goodbye and left.

In the car, Guo Pingjiang said with a smile, "It seems that these so-called top experts on Earth are just like ordinary people, not so unfathomable."

Li Changxi quickly replied, "It's because Uncle Guo communicated well with him."

Guo Pingjiang was very satisfied with Li Changxi's attitude and said with a smile, "Changxi, I have high hopes for you. Don't be influenced by that kid Hu Jiangshan. He's just a flash in the pan. If you want to last, you need to look at your overall qualities, and you are much stronger in that respect."

Li Changxi quickly said, "Thank you for your kind words, Uncle Guo."

"After Hu Jiangshan is taken down, Changxi, you need to step up your efforts and try to get the launch site built and put into commercial operation as soon as possible."

"Understood, I'm working hard to finish it here."
