Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 592 Catherine generously gifts a 300 million yuan Tesla! Boss Hu happily receives his new car, and Tenglong Island's infrastructure undergoes a major upgrade.

At this point, the food the two had ordered began to arrive one after another.

Hu Jiangshan took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Mr. Xu, isn't giving me this difficult problem a breach of confidentiality? Doesn't that violate work regulations?"

Xu Yun laughed: "Don't worry, I'm not new to this job, I know the rules. What I give you will definitely be classified, not too specific. Even if it's posted online, there won't be any risk of leakage."

Hu Jiangshan said, "That's good, otherwise we might both be doomed."

Xu Yun raised an eyebrow: "Boss Hu, you're quite scared, aren't you?"

Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "I'm not afraid. I'm afraid of affecting XCMG's future. Such a beautiful scientist deserves a better future."

Xu Yun was taken aback at first, then her face turned red.

Xu Yun thought to herself, "Damn it, this rich young master from Hong Kong is quite the smooth talker; his mouth is as sweet as honey."

The meal was surprisingly enjoyable; the awkward silence that Xu Yun had worried about didn't happen at all, which she found amazing.

It should be noted that Xu Yun and Hu Jiangshan had only met twice and exchanged very few words.

It seems that Hu Jiangshan is quite capable, and his knowledge is definitely not limited to aerospace technology.

In a warm and pleasant atmosphere, the two finished their meal and even took a walk together in the hotel's small garden, chatting about this and that, before saying goodbye.

Watching Hu Jiangshan's departing figure, Xu Yun fell into deep thought.

Just then, someone walked over.

"Xu Yun, how could you associate with someone like that? You were far too careless."

Xu Yun turned her head and saw that it was Meng Congtao. She didn't know when he had followed her here.

Xu Yun frowned: "What's wrong with you? What are you saying? Meng Congtao, what business is it of yours who I'm with? Don't tell me we're just having a meal and talking about work."

Upon hearing this, Meng Congtao's eyes lit up: "Is it really just a meal?"

"Even if I did something with Boss Hu, it's none of your business."

Meng Congtao's expression turned extremely ugly again: "Xu Yun, that guy surnamed Hu is not a good person. Don't be fooled by him. Besides being good at sweet talk, he has no substance at all. Everything he does is an illusion! It's all an act! You must have the ability to distinguish right from wrong!"

"Alright! I'm better at distinguishing right from wrong than you are. This has nothing to do with you, so stop bothering me!"

Meng Congtao certainly wouldn't give up so easily.

He rolled his eyes and said, "Xu Yun, to be honest, I heard everything just now. You were going to give him our research materials, right? If that's the case, then it involves the issue of leaking secrets. Don't do anything foolish! You'll ruin your future and harm the country's interests! If it gets serious, you might even get locked up."

Xu Yun glanced at Meng Congtao: "I know better than you how important the country's interests are! I would never do anything to leak secrets. Please stop talking nonsense. Alright, I'm tired. I'm not going to keep you company any longer. I'm going back to my room to rest. Do as you please, Meng Congtao."

"Hey? Xu Yun! Listen to me! That's not what I meant. I was just trying to kindly remind you not to do anything foolish! Xu Yun, don't go! Let's chat a little longer. There's still time, it's still early!"

However, no matter how hard Meng Congtao shouted or yelled, Xu Yun still resolutely left, leaving him alone in the wind, bewildered like a sand sculpture.

Meng Congtao gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Xu Yun, don't underestimate me. You think you can escape my grasp? Do you think you're Sun Wukong? This isn't over. I'll show you who's right and who's wrong! Then you'll be begging me for another chance!"

The two-day aerospace technology exchange meeting is about to end.

This topic is quite special, as it not only involves deep space but also specifically addresses asteroid defense.

There seemed to be no consensus reached at the meeting, but this is normal given that it was the first time this topic was discussed.

Zhao Ruijing is the main driving force behind the asteroid defense system. His main goal is to collect the ideas and opinions of various experts, organize them, and then formulate the next steps in the plan.

Perhaps there will be a few more meetings like this, but the direction should remain the same.

The ambitious "Asteroid Defense System" project will continue to be advanced until the final plan is finalized and implementation begins.

Before leaving, Hu Jiangshan had another in-depth talk with Zhao Ruijing to discuss some details.

Zhao Ruijing had previously stated that Hu Jiangshan could begin preliminary preparations.

Actually, the preparation work is still quite vague at the moment, and there is no specific plan. Hu Jiangshan can only rely on his intuition to compile a report or plan and submit it to the National Space Administration.

If done well, the National Space Administration will naturally provide support after approval, whether it be technical or financial, and may even assign an expert team to coordinate.

That day, Hu Jiangshan and Zhao Ruijing talked until very late.

Hu Jiangshan didn't get back to his room until 10:30 p.m. He was leaving Hangzhou tomorrow to return to Hong Kong Island.

Hu Jiangshan took a shower and was about to watch some TV before going to bed.

The phone rang; someone had sent a message. Hu Jiangshan saw that it was from Chen Yifei.

Chen Yifei asked, "Is Boss Hu asleep?"

Hu Jiangshan immediately replied: "I'm not asleep yet. I go to bed late. Why aren't you asleep either?"

"Just like you, I also go to bed late at night."

"Truly befitting young people, they even go to bed late."

"As if you're that old."

At this moment, Chen Yifei sent another message: "Boss Hu, I might be going to Hong Kong Island next month. I wonder if you will have time then?"

Hu Jiangshan replied: "Of course I have time if you go there. Even if I don't have time, I still have to."

"Do you mean what you said?"

"Of course it counts. I'll have time whenever you go."

Chen Yifei replied with a smiley face and said, "Okay, I'll contact you then."

Hu Jiangshan responded with an "OK" gesture.

After finishing his conversation with Chen Yifei, Hu Jiangshan opened his laptop and began searching for information online.

Hu Jiangshan was mainly looking for information on asteroid defense systems.

Hu Jiangshan had encountered similar projects in his previous life, but he did not follow them throughout the entire process, especially the initial preparatory activities. Therefore, he needed to do some research before he could make a proper plan.

Of course, for top scientists from Earth in their previous lives, devising such a plan would not be difficult.

Hu Jiangshan started thinking again. If preparations were to be made, it would likely require the construction of relatively large-scale equipment, which would necessitate the use of the Tech Engine app.

Hu Jiangshan was eager to make a big splash.

The next day, Hu Jiangshan and Zhang Rui returned to Hong Kong Island smoothly by flight.

Two days later, early morning, Victoria Harbour Island apartment.

Hu Jiangshan got up early and, after a day of rest, his strength had almost recovered.

Although Hangzhou is not far from Hong Kong Island, only a few hours by plane, I'm still a bit tired from the long journey these past few days, and I need to rest.

However, Hu Jiangshan was secretly astonished to hear that Zhang Rui had gone to Tenglong Island yesterday. He thought to himself that Zhang Rui was really working too hard, rushing to work as soon as he got back. He wondered if Zhang Rui was made of iron.

Hu Jiangshan went to his usual tea restaurant near the apartment for breakfast. Several female waitresses' eyes lit up when they saw him come in, indicating that they had a good impression of him.

Especially the waitress named A Cui, who was quite pretty, with a great figure and a beautiful face, and seemed to care a lot about Hu Jiangshan, asking him a few more questions when he took his order.

"Mr. Hu, hello, it's been a long time." Hu Jiangshan smiled: "What? You recognize me?"

Ah Cui replied with a smile, "Of course I know you, you're a celebrity, Mr. Hu."

Hu Jiangshan nodded, pleased. It seemed that the nickname "Little Hu" had spread throughout Hong Kong.

Hu Jiangshan said, "I've been quite busy lately, so I went to the mainland."

You don't look well; you should take care of yourself.

Hu Jiangshan was taken aback: "Do I look unwell?"

"Yes, she looks a bit tired."

Hu Jiangshan smiled and nodded: "Thank you."

Hu Jiangshan thought to himself, "I have been feeling quite tired lately. I wonder if I'm sick?"

You should go to the hospital for a checkup when you have time.

Hu Jiangshan ordered his usual dishes, and they arrived quickly.

Hu Jiangshan was enjoying his meal when his phone rang.

Upon checking the caller ID, it was a local, unfamiliar number.

"Hello."

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Hu Jiangshan?"

"Yes, it's me. Who are you?"

"Hello, this is a car dealership. We have one of your cars here. Do you have time to sign for it today?"

Hu Jiangshan was stunned: "I have a car? You want me to sign for it?"

"Yes, it was Ms. Gus who instructed me to say that you need a car, and I will arrange it for you now."

Hu Jiangshan then remembered that Catherine Guise had indeed mentioned this to him before, that she would definitely arrange a new car for him.

Hu Jiangshan initially thought that Gus was just saying it casually, but he didn't expect the young lady to be serious.

What can Hu Jiangshan say now? Should he say he shouldn't accept a reward without merit and refuse the car?

However, Hu Jiangshan had promised Catherine that he could accept the car, so it wouldn't be appropriate to refuse now.

Oh well, it's just a car, I might as well take it.

Besides, Hu Jiangshan and Catherine have a good relationship, so there's no need to be so formal; they're both friends and business partners.

Hu Jiangshan asked, "Then where do I go to collect the vehicles?"

"Mr. Hu, please tell us your address, and we will deliver it to you."

Hu Jiangshan thought the service was indeed good, so he told the person his address. The person said he would be there soon and asked him to wait a moment.

Hu Jiangshan thought to himself, since the other party is going to send a car over, then he might as well wait a while. There's no rush to get to Tenglong Island.

The other party arrived quickly and delivered the car in no time.

Unexpectedly, the car turned out to be a Tesla Model S, the top-of-the-line model.

Buying a car on Hong Kong Island is still very expensive; a Tesla Model S would cost over HK$300 million with all the paperwork done.

Such an expensive car, given away so readily, Katherine Guise's generosity is truly unmatched.

However, for the Gas family, HK$300 million seems to be less than three cents for an ordinary person.

Hu Jiangshan didn't hesitate and signed the document, accepting the car.

The person who delivered the car was very polite and said that the car would be transferred to Hu Jiangshan's name later.

Hu Jiangshan didn't care; he'd already taken the car, so everything else was minor.

So, Hu Jiangshan was finally able to give up his old BMW and drive a new car.

Although this is an original version of the Tesla Model S, it was already quite advanced for its time.

Whether it's intelligence or performance, Tesla's cars are now top-notch.

Of course, Hu Jiangshan had experienced many electric smart cars in his previous life. Compared to them, the Tesla Model S was slightly behind, but it was already very close to the smart electric cars of that era.

Hu Jiangshan drove the new car and felt the acceleration was fantastic, finally experiencing the feeling of a new era.

Not bad, Hu Jiangshan thought it would be nice to drive this car through the mountains sometime in the future.

Hu Jiangshan arrived at the Baisha Bay Yacht Club pier.

Today is not a holiday, so the pier is relatively quiet. Compared to the situation where media reporters surrounded Hu Jiangshan before, it is so quiet that it is almost lovely.

Hu Jiangshan quickly found his Haima and entered the long-lost cockpit.

The Haima successfully departed the port and set sail, speeding towards Tenglong Island.

The sea conditions were pretty good today; we spotted Tenglong Island in just twenty minutes.

Upon arriving at the entrance to Tenglong Bay, Lu Yuan saw a medium-sized double-decker cruise ship slowly sail in and then turn to one side.

The boat was probably full of tourists, tourists heading to Tenglong Island Resort.

Hu Jiangshan glanced at the resort's dock from afar; it was quite lively there now.

Two boats were docked at the pier, and tourists on one of the boats were disembarking.

Exclamations, cheers, and excited praises could be heard from time to time, indicating that the tourists were quite amazed by the beautiful scenery here.

This is quite normal. Whether it's your first time here or not, once you come to Tenglong Bay, you'll definitely be able to exclaim in amazement and praise.

Even though Hu Jiangshan has visited so many times, whenever he hasn't been there for a while, he always finds Tenglong Bay even more beautiful when he comes back.

At this point, the ecological environment of Tenglong Bay had reached its peak.
No, perhaps it will get better in the future, but Hu Jiangshan can hardly imagine how much better.

The scenery of Tenglong Bay is now incredibly spectacular. Just look down and you'll see a riot of colors, like a fantasy world. Perhaps this is what the legendary Dragon Palace looks like.

Hu Jiangshan was very satisfied with his masterpiece and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

A moment later, Hu Jiangshan arrived at the main pier of Tenglong Island and saw Awang patrolling there with several people.

When Awang saw Hu Jiangshan, he immediately came over to greet him, his attitude extremely respectful.

You can tell that Awang has matured a lot compared to before; he's no longer that impetuous young man.

Hu Jiangshan told Awang to go about their business, and he found an electric commuter vehicle and went directly to a place—the Infrastructure Design and Construction Center.

In the past two days, Hu Jiangshan has decided to build some new basic structures in preparation for the development of an asteroid defense system.
