Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 598 The design of the aerospace assembly workshop is completed! Construction begins with a hefty investment of 9000 million.

I don't know where Feng Hua went gallivanting before, but he arrived even faster than I expected, in just over half an hour.

When the big boss Feng Hua arrived, he was bound to fly into a rage, wishing he could tear the roof off the shop. He unleashed a torrent of abuse and curses at Manager Wang and Sister Xia.

These two were so arrogant and domineering just a moment ago, but now they're like little bastards, being scolded by Feng Hua until they can't even lift their heads. They're practically kneeling down and singing "Conquer".

To be honest, Feng Hua usually seems mild-mannered and not aggressive at all, but when it comes to a real fight, he can be tough when necessary, and he's even more irritable than most people.

That's good, otherwise things wouldn't be able to be contained.

This is actually one of the abilities of a boss. If you can't be ruthless and use underhanded tactics, you will definitely be deceived by your subordinates and manipulated by them at will, and naturally you will not achieve great things.

In this respect, Feng Hua is qualified.

Moreover, Feng Hua was very decisive and kept his word, immediately telling Sister Xia and Manager Wang to pack their bags and leave.

The two people were very reluctant and kept begging to be let go, but in the end they obediently left.

Liu Zixia breathed a sigh of relief. She never expected that this incredibly handsome guest would know the big boss. This was a pleasant surprise.

Liu Zixia originally thought that Hu Jiangshan would be beaten up by Manager Wang and kicked out of the shop.

At this moment, Hu Jiangshan pointed at Liu Zixia and said, "Hua Zi, the beautiful shop assistant you found is quite good. She has been speaking up for me the whole time, works hard, and is also kind and sincere."

Liu Zixia was stunned. What was Hu Jiangshan trying to do?
Feng Hua said "Oh," and asked Liu Zixia, "What's your name?"

"Boss, my name is Liu Zixia."

"Okay, from now on you'll be the store manager."

"...Huh? Boss, I...I've become the store manager?"

"Yes, I'll have the administration contact you later."

Liu Zixia's beautiful eyes widened, feeling very surprised and clearly not mentally prepared.

"Me? Boss, am I up to the task? I've only been here a short time."

Feng Hua waved his hand: "If I say you can do it, then you can do it. I'll find you several helpers in the future. If anyone disobeys, you can just fire them."

Liu Zixia glanced at Hu Jiangshan and quickly said, "I understand, boss. I will definitely work hard and won't let you down."

"Okay, bring us some food and drinks."

Liu Zixia responded and left.

You could tell from Liu Zixia's expression and gait that she was in a very good mood and very excited.

It's worth noting that the manager of Wolong Ice Room has a very high salary, top-notch benefits, and a lot of commission. Moreover, he has a lot of power, which is why Sister Xia is so arrogant.

Hu Jiangshan and Feng Hua sat facing each other.

Hu Jiangshan said helplessly, "Hua Zi, do you think it's easy for me to get a meal? I came here just to fill my stomach, but who knew I'd end up cleaning house for you. Now I'm so hungry I'm about to faint."

Feng Hua raised an eyebrow: "Oh, Young Master Hu, that's why you're my benefactor. You should eat more later, and take whatever you want. This restaurant will be yours from now on."

"Okay, that's good. There are more and more people on Tenglong Island now, and the staff canteen is overcrowded. I couldn't find a place to sit today. Next time I can just come here."

Feng Hua said, "Young Master Hu, how about I reserve a seat for you? You can come and sit anytime. No one else can sit here except me."

Hu Jiangshan waved his hand: "No need, no need, that would be bad. I'll just try to avoid mealtimes when I come, there's no need for any special treatment."

Since Hu Jiangshan said so, Feng Hua did not insist. In any case, the two had a close relationship and there was no need to be polite.

By this time, Liu Zixia had already brought out all the food and drinks.

Hu Jiangshan was indeed starving. Regardless of what Feng Hua was doing, he first indulged in a hearty meal, eating and drinking to his heart's content.

They didn't even cut the whole pineapple bun; they just picked it up with their hands and started eating it, like they were eating a donkey meat sandwich.

Feng Hua was stunned and speechless.

"Young Master Hu, have you not eaten for days? That's an exaggeration."

Hu Jiangshan said, "Didn't I just tell you? I'm really starving. By the way, this meal is on you! I managed to drag out those two 'living devils' from your shop, which is a great achievement. Otherwise, it would definitely have affected your business."

Feng Hua chuckled: "Young Master Hu, who are you looking down on? It's just a meal, why even mention it? You really did help me a lot. To be honest, those two people acted all high and mighty in front of me, very polite and capable, like good guys. I never expected them to be so arrogant behind my back."

"By the way, where did you get these two people from?"

"Hi! It was someone my dad arranged."

Hu Jiangshan swallowed the pineapple bun in his mouth, licked his fingers, and said, "Hua Zi, things aren't going well on your dad's side either."

Feng Hua said with a wry smile, "Young Master Hu, you should know that when a company grows big, it will definitely have a lot of problems. It's a mixed bag, with all sorts of people. It's impossible for everyone to be a capable person. Moreover, people like the two of them might actually be useful in a big company, but if they were here, they would really be a menace."

Hu Jiangshan agreed.

That's true. As a boss, you have to be clear about these things.

As the saying goes, "If the water is too clear, there will be no fish."

Sometimes, a person who is too kind, too generous, or too gentle will often not be able to do a good job. On the contrary, those who are strict and ruthless can be called generals.

This is what the ancients meant by "a kind heart cannot command an army."

People like Manager Wang and Sister Xia are only useful and can play a positive role in large companies. But if you put them in a smaller organizational structure, they can only be considered bad people, have a negative impact, and are pure scourges.

So Hu Jiangshan's efforts to expose these two people did indeed help Feng Hua a lot.

Hu Jiangshan said, "By the way, Hua Zi, you chased those two away, so they won't retaliate against you."

Feng Hua chuckled: "Young Master Hu, you underestimate me. Do you think I'm afraid of their retaliation? If they dare to retaliate against me, they'll really have a death wish. I'd be happy to oblige. I respect them as true men."

Hu Jiangshan thought about it and realized that it made sense. The Feng family was not to be trifled with, nor were they benevolent people. They were not an ordinary merchant family.

Without some special power, no one would dare to develop in Hong Kong. Not just anyone can mess with the Fung family. Even the four major families would have to consider their own capabilities and whether they could swallow the Fung family whole.

They certainly weren't sure; they might break a tooth.

Hu Jiangshan chatted with Feng Hua about some random things.

Feng Hua checked the time and said, "Young Master Hu, I have some things to take care of, so I'll be leaving now. How long are you staying on the island? I'll find you for a drink after I'm done."

Hu Jiangshan thought for a moment and said, "We'll see. I'll probably stay here for at least one more night."

Feng Hua said, "Okay, if I get back in time, I'll ask you out for drinks tonight, okay?"

"sure, no problem."

Hu Jiangshan figured he could finish the design by the afternoon and then have free time in the evening.

After Feng Hua left, Hu Jiangshan ate slowly by himself. He had just had a hearty meal and his stomach was almost full. Now he enjoyed some desserts and iced coffee, savoring the leisurely after-dinner time. It was basically peak dining time, and the second floor was about 80-90% full.

The customers are mostly families or couples, so business is booming.

Moreover, these people have exceptionally high spending power; they don't even look at the prices on the menu.

Speaking of the menu, the prices at Wo Lung Cafe are about 50% higher than those in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon.

This is a resort, a tourist attraction, and an outlying island far from Hong Kong Island. The extra cost is already quite reasonable.

In fact, Hu Jiangshan felt that the price could be set higher, and that about double the price would be within a reasonable range.

Of course, it all depends on what Feng Hua thinks.

If the goal is to build a reputation and establish a brand, it's perfectly normal to set the price lower.

After all, no rich person likes to be taken advantage of. Being honest in business only brings benefits and no drawbacks. Leaving a good impression on others is the most important thing in terms of brand.

At this moment, Liu Zixia came up, bringing Hu Jiangshan another cup of coffee and a fruit platter.

"Mr. Hu, please enjoy your meal."

"Thank you, Azi."

Hu Jiangshan took a sip of coffee and offered a few words of praise.

Liu Zixia said, "Mr. Hu, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have been mistreated again."

Hu Jiangshan laughed: "Azi, do you often suffer from their temper?"

"Yes, Mr. Hu, don't laugh at me, but since I came here, I've been bossed around by them almost every day. To be honest, if this island city weren't so beautiful, I really wouldn't be able to stay here."

"I understand. Now? Can we continue doing this?"

Liu Zixia smiled: "Of course, thanks to Mr. Hu and our boss."

Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly, and seeing the blush on Liu Zixia's face, he felt a flutter in his heart and a ticklish sensation all over his body.

However, Hu Jiangshan suppressed his restless heart. He had important work to do in the afternoon and couldn't let something like this ruin his plans. He couldn't let his serious work be delayed.

Hu Jiangshan decided that once he was done with his work, he would try his best to invite Liu Zixia to the villa for a proper tour.

Right now, my focus is still on my career. Even if other things are good, they can only be a supplement.

After eating and drinking his fill, Hu Jiangshan finally left Wolong Ice Room with a satisfied heart.

Before leaving, Hu Jiangshan specifically asked for Liu Zixia's contact information.

Liu Zixia agreed without hesitation.

That's normal; Hu Jiangshan is so handsome, it's hard for any girl to be heartless enough to reject him.

Hu Jiangshan returned to his private villa on the island and resumed his work.

Hu Jiangshan was in great shape today. The design draft for the "Aerospace Equipment Precision Assembly Workshop" was completed almost in one go without frequent revisions. By 4 p.m., the facility design was finally finished.

Hu Jiangshan wasted no time, driving his electric vehicle to the Infrastructure Planning and Construction Center, and then imported the design drawings of the "Aerospace Equipment Precision Assembly Workshop" into the central computer.

The next step is to have the central computer perform system design testing.

It's important to understand that highly precise aerospace facilities have extremely stringent requirements, which is why Hu Jiangshan was so worried at the time.
If you design from scratch, you need to consider many things, and it will take a long time in all aspects.

Even if Hu Jiangshan had experience, it would be quite an achievement if he could handle it alone, working non-stop for several days. So Catherine's help was truly invaluable.

The design draft inspection would take some time, so Hu Jiangshan poured himself a cup of coffee and waited while drinking it.

About half an hour later, the facility design was finally tested.

Hu Jiangshan checked the results and, as expected, passed on the first try. His two days of hard work had paid off.

Hu Jiangshan ran the computer and rescanned the design drawings of the "Aerospace Equipment Precision Assembly Workshop" to see if there were any other areas for improvement.

The central computer is very powerful. After making some minor modifications, Hu Jiangshan selected "Construction Assessment".

[Facility Name]: Precision Assembly Workshop for Aerospace Equipment
[Facility Size]: 15000 square meters.

[Facility Level]: Basic
Construction period: 15 days.

[Investment Capital:] HKD 9000 million

Hu Jiangshan looked at the test and evaluation report carefully, somewhat surprised.

The cost is HK$9000 million, isn't that a bit too expensive?

It's worth noting that building a basic semiconductor production line doesn't seem to make much difference.

However, upon closer examination, Hu Jiangshan realized that the facility was quite large, covering an area of ​​15,000 square meters.

Moreover, this is a high-precision facility used for the maintenance and assembly of aerospace equipment, and a large part of it is a dust-free working environment, so the construction cost must be very high.

In his previous life, the largest aerospace precision assembly workshop that Hu Jiangshan had ever visited was less than 8000 square meters, exactly half the size of this facility, but its construction period and cost were much higher.

Thinking about it this way, Hu Jiangshan felt that he had still come out ahead.

However, on the other hand, Hu Jiangshan himself had to pay for the construction, which was quite painful for him.

Never mind, Hu Jiangshan gritted his teeth and pressed the "Start Building" button.

A progress bar appeared on the central computer screen, and Hu Jiangshan soon received a deduction notification from the bank.

Almost a small fortune was taken away just like that.

Hu Jiangshan checked his balance and found that he still had 40 to 50 million Hong Kong dollars left in his private account.

There is still some funds in Jiangshan Group's corporate account that can be transferred out, but it is best not to do so unless absolutely necessary.

Jiangshan Group currently has a large business volume and employs several hundred people. Their monthly salaries are not low, and arbitrarily using the funds in the company account could cause trouble.

Hu Jiangshan sighed. No matter what he did, he was still short of money.

The investment in aerospace is enormous; even with the help of a "technological engine" bug, it's still a money-devouring beast.

But Hu Jiangshan had to do this.

It seems I need to contact Mr. Wang Chengdong of Huayao and ask him to allocate some funds for the goods.

Because Hu Jiangshan has even greater technology at his disposal: to build an electromagnetic catapult launcher.
