Chapter 431, Reclamation of Land
With the protection of the company, Wang Quanhui's family was finally liberated.
After more than a year of accumulation, Wang Quanhui's family has also entered a new life.
"Brother, what are you looking at?"
Wang Xiaomin came over, and after seeing the headline on the newspaper, he exclaimed:
"Got another game? Brother, do you want to participate? ”
Although her brother's monthly manuscript fee is as much as four or five hundred thousand yuan on average, if she participates in the competition, the manuscript fee will definitely be more.
"Of course, I don't know how many times I've read the Legend of Mortal Immortal Cultivation, and this is also the story I've always wanted to write."
As a frequent visitor to the top of the monthly ticket list, Wang Quanhui is also very ambitious.
Since moving to Tsim Sha Tsui, almost every day, he will finish writing for the first time and look through Mingyue books.
He needs to see how other people are creating it, and then he learns, analyzes, transcribs, and so on.
Especially the frequent visitors to the first place in the monthly ticket list of the Legend of Mortal Cultivators, except for a few times, the rest are ranked first on the monthly ticket list.
Why?
Because this one is so good, there are too many readers who like it.
Even if it is in Tokyo, I gave one of the Three Kingdoms, frantically rewarded and urged the draft, and added a lot of monthly passes.
But it only grabbed the first place on the monthly ticket list twice, but the follow-up was weak, and it was taken down by the readers of the Legend of Mortal Immortals.
After all, there are far fewer readers who like the Three Kingdoms than there are readers who like mortals.
Who made this book of mortals, the later it gets, the greater the stamina?
"Brother, I'm sure you can definitely take the first place."
Wang Xiaomin clenched his fists and said encouragingly, and her brother also smiled and nodded confidently.
On Taiwan Island, in a simple room, Li Ye was staring at Zhongyong Daily.
The Zhongyong Daily on the Taiwan side is not much different from the layout on the Hong Kong Island.
What is different is the newspaper advertisement, and everything else is almost the same.
Li Ye saw it clearly, Mingyue, Zhongyong, New Economic Daily and other three jointly held a Xianxia essay competition.
And this time, the prize money is actually 5 million Hong Kong dollars.
This attraction is directly full.
Even if you are only shortlisted, there are 20 places, and the prize money is 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.
In an era when the per capita salary was only three or four hundred yuan, 10,000 Hong Kong dollars was already the salary of many workers for ten years.
Therefore, Li Ye, as a bookworm, instantly became excited.
But I couldn't help but be discouraged when I thought that he had submitted for a year in a row and had not been selected.
It's not that the standards of Mingyue's books and magazines are too high, but that he created them, which is too rubbish.
It can't meet the publication standards, and of course it won't be included.
There are many, many young people who are similar to Li Ye.
Most people are hot-headed and then go to the submission.
Only a few people will take the time and energy to figure out how to create and how to write a better opening.
It can't be too watery, otherwise, it's an assembly line.
The plot has to be smooth!
Immediately, Li Ye saw several creative reference books advertised in the newspaper, such as the translation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Xianxia reference book, and so on.
"I want to buy it!"
After seeing these reference books, Li Ye's eyes lit up suddenly, and then he hurriedly took the money and left home to go to a nearby bookstore to buy them.
At the door of the bookstore, Li Ye came to the cashier counter and asked directly if there was a translation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
As a result, I got the cashier's eyes: "No, don't ask, it's sold out a long time ago." ”
Yes?
Li Ye was dumbfounded instantly, it was a reference book, how could it be sold out all at once?
"When will it be?"
"I don't know, I guess it's going to be tomorrow morning, anyway, our manager just called, and there is no stock yet."
"Do you accept reservations here?"
When the cashier heard this, he said impatiently that he couldn't.
Isn't this a pure increase in his workload?
What's more, what the hell is predetermined?
The manager not far away, hearing this, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he rushed over quickly, and said to Li Ye:
"Little brother, we accept reservations here, but you need to pay a deposit of one dollar in advance!"
When Li Ye heard this, he didn't say a word, and directly took out a dollar to make a decision.
For him, he has not passed the review standard so many times before, which must be the reason why he did not buy reference books.
This time, buy whatever you say!
Soon, Li Ye's actions made some young people nearby who wanted to write see hope.
The manager who received the deposit money softly smiled from ear to ear, and immediately ran to pick up the phone again and called the branch of Shanhai Publishing House on Taiwan Island.
Hong Kong Island, 72 Deep Water Bay.
As we enter December, the temperature on Hong Kong Island has become even colder, dropping to about 10 degrees.
This temperature is far less than that of the capital, but on Hong Kong Island, it is really cold.
"Dad, won't we see snow again this year?"
In front of the house, Xiaodoubao is enjoying the rare cold weather, wearing newly bought clothes, bouncing around the yard.
In the living room, Xiao Budian complained to his father that the military coat in his room has not been worn so far, and it has really become the clothes at the bottom of the box.
"Press the bottom of the box to press the bottom of the box, you don't think that the cold weather in the capital is good, right?"
For many years, I slapped the little brains and calculated an account for him.
"Every winter, our family has to buy winter cabbage, honeycomb coal, and sometimes the coal is not enough, and we have to buy firewood."
"In addition to that, there are military coats, and you probably forgot what your grandparents told you."
"In the past, many things were very expensive, and I didn't dare to go out all winter."
Because once you go out, you need to wear thick clothes, but where did you get so many thick clothes at home at that time?
Life is hard, but it's not just talking, it's really very difficult.
The small point with strong mental arithmetic ability was quickly calculated, so in this way, the cost of living in the capital is indeed much more expensive than on Hong Kong Island.
Just as he was about to continue talking for many years, the phone in the living room rang.
Hot Wheels was right next to the telephone and was picked up right away.
It was Andy who called, not the classmate that Hot Wheels was missing.
Since the little one was in school, he has made a lot of friends, and he has to go out to play with his classmates every once in a while.
Especially after playing football with a few children from Huo Jiandong's family last time, whether they are small or respectful, they often make appointments to play with others.
It's just that it's only on weekends and other holidays, and when they go to school, they can't go out to play.
After all, they need to learn, and every day of boxing training is indispensable.
"Hey, Andy, it's me, what's wrong?"
Many years after picking up the phone, Andy's excited voice came from the other side.
Exploded!
A book like the modern translation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas has exploded, it's amazing!
But in fact, it is not surprising, because this is an officially designated reference book, and for many people who are committed to creation, it is equivalent to the role of a 'Xinhua dictionary'.
Moreover, the translation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas is not a simple translation of classical Chinese into modern Chinese, but an artistic process.
For example, the above will also give many strange beasts and divine beasts in the Book of Mountains and Seas, etc., to rank their combat power, as well as their respective force values and special abilities.
So for those who want to write, its reference role is simply absolute.
In addition to reference books, even Xianxia, which is on the monthly pass list, has also ushered in a wave of hot sales.
Even the two Xianxia books at the bottom of the rankings have soared a lot in their monthly passes.
Of course, it is still the Legend of Mortal Immortal Cultivation that is unbeatable, and its title of champion is unshakable.
Without him, too many people love this book.
Although the number of words is very long, more than 7 million, it has been serialized for more than a year, and now it is only in the infancy of the yuan.
After entering the spirit world, its more vast and magnificent Xianxia world will be revealed.
As for the fairy world, it's still too far away.
"Good job, but you have to do your job and investigate the potential of the market"
When I heard that the sales had exploded, I was happy for many years.
It's not because of how much money you make, but because your influence has increased.
The emergence of a platform can create a lot of success and give everyone more choices.
Competitors such as Ming Pao and Sing Tao Daily no longer know what to say.
Xianxia, what the hell is it?
The prize of 5 million Hong Kong dollars is directly full of attractiveness.
After waiting for many years to hang up the phone, I saw Xu Xiaoqian, who I hadn't seen for several days, and actually walked out of the door.
"What's wrong? Don't continue your retreat? ”
In recent days, Xu Xiaoqian has been trapped in her room, just trying to write well.
Qin Huairu also cared, "Xiaoqian, you're not uncomfortable, right?" Seeing that your face is so bad, you have hit a bottleneck? ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiaoqian couldn't hold back anymore.
"Fifth sister-in-law, I can't write it."
She couldn't write it, but she really wanted to win the prize.
Her conditions are so good, but it's a pity that her fifth uncle can't help her, and Xianxia relies on imagination, and her writing must reach a certain level.
Otherwise, you won't be able to read what you've written.
Originally, she wrote the female frequency well, but she was whimsical, she had to try Xianxia, isn't this a trouble?
Didn't she know that the competition in Xianxia would be very fierce?
Yes, but she just wanted to take on the challenge.
Qin Huairu hugged her with tears and laughter, like coaxing a child, and coaxed.
Xiao Doubao had already returned to the living room, and when he saw this scene, he immediately smiled.
"Dad, can you help me see, is this opening I wrote?"
At this time, Bai Tofu, who came down from the second floor, handed it to her father with two pages of manuscript in her hand.
Did the little guy really write it out?
I was still quite surprised for many years, and even took Qin Huairu and others to see it, Xu Xiaoqian couldn't care less about being sad, and came over to take a look.
Not to mention, the white tofu has put a lot of effort into it, and the beginning is still well written.
For many years, it seemed that it barely met the review standards.
It's just that she is a little child, imitating the writing style of mortals and creating, and the shadow of mortals is too deep.
If published, it will definitely be said to be plagiarism.
"Kid." For many years, his expression was a little tangled, and he considered the words.
But his expression made Bai Tofu tremble, and the expression he was expecting collapsed all of a sudden.
Although Bai Tofu is only more than seven years old, the little guy's ability to observe words and colors is not bad.
"That's right, your writing, writing structure, etc., are actually quite good, and they also meet the standards of publication."
Qin Huairu suddenly slapped his thigh and said:
"Isn't that great, then it can be published? Then who did you show this serious expression just now? See what you've done to scare your child? ”
Bai Tofu looked at her father pitifully, was stunned for many years, and then said:
"I'm not scaring children, this opening 3,000 words, although the number of words is not much, but in fact, it can't get rid of the shadow of mortals, and it will be very difficult to write"
This is not the most important thing, more importantly, the follow-up book review is estimated to be very ugly.
It's said to be the same humanities.,It doesn't have a plot of the protagonist of the same humanities.,Say no.,It's written at the beginning of the plot of joining the sect of cultivating immortals.,It's almost the same as a mortal.。
The mistake is that this opening is attractive enough, the writing is smooth, the plot is smooth, and it will not be said that it has passed the publication requirements for many years.
"Dad, is it okay if I just modify it a little?"
The big eyes of the white tofu suddenly flashed brightly.
If it could be published, it would be her happiest.
She's only seven years old and she's going to be able to publish, which is great.
Xu Xiaoqian, who had already finished reading the manuscript next to her, suddenly sighed:
"Fifth uncle, I finally understood what you said before, writing really requires talent. Bai Tofu is more talented than me, and what she writes is much better than mine. ”
It's normal, some people just don't make sense.
Not to mention writing, some geniuses can invent and create at a very young age, which can be said to be a product of the environment, or it can be said that the child is born smart.
Because everyone's IQ level is different, why can some people become famous at a young age, and why do more people do nothing in their lives?
Bai Tofu was overjoyed when she heard it, she couldn't take care of her eldest sister, and now her mind was full of writing.
There is a typewriter at home, which is nothing new to the six children in the family.
Because there are three of them written at home, the six children of Bai Tofu often watch from the side, and then they also go to fiddle with the typewriter after many years, Xiaomei and others rest.
Since last year, Bai Tofu thought about writing, and then took out her pocket money and asked her father to buy her a typewriter.
With her pocket money, it is actually not enough money for a typewriter.
But it doesn't matter, she thinks that as long as she works hard, she will definitely be fine.
"Dad, teach me quickly, tell me how to write next?"
Immediately, she pestered her father, insisting that her father teach her.
Xiao Doubao and Xiao Tuanzi were also listening to the side, and after listening for a long time, they were called away by their grandfather.
And Xiao Budian is not interested in this, he only likes mathematics and physics.
Jing Ge'er and Hot Wheels, the two children, are thinking about playing.
The child likes to write so much, he has to teach her by hand for many years, and he doesn't know how far he can do it.
But this feeling of guiding children to grow up slowly is still very cool.
At the end of December, most of Rolls-Royce's employees will finally move into the R&D center on Pok Fu Lam Road.
The three members of Bembatini moved into a 38-storey complex with four units on each floor of the 13th floor.
The day after she moved, Wendy invited Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e to visit her home.
From the beginning of entering the community, Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e need to register to enter the community.
Then took the elevator to the thirteenth floor, and Qin Huairu found that this building actually had six elevators, which was really luxurious.
But after entering Bampatini's house, Qin Huairu was also surprised.
"Wow, your home is so spacious?"
Developers on Hong Kong Island, in general, build very narrow houses.
However, this Rolls-Royce house is very different.
Not to mention that it is in the R&D center, the security is first-class.
On the first floor are four units, and this unit of Bombatini's family turned out to be a five-bedroom house of 270 square meters.
If all of the units are about the same size, then the usable area of one floor is more than 1,000 square meters.
Plus there are spacious balconies and so on, this house is worth it.
It only takes eight years of experience for Bombatini to work on Hong Kong Island, and the house is his own private property.
Therefore, if you leave your job if you don't have enough years of work, the house will be repossessed.
In a large house of two hundred and seventy square meters, the living room is naturally very spacious, so it is no wonder that Qin Huairu was so surprised.
Wendy herself was also very happy, and led Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e to visit inside and out.
It's very spacious and bright, much bigger than the previous house in Central.
However, Wendy said that the villa is better.
"Then your husband has to work hard to make money"
Qin Huairu said with a smile.
Nowadays, the house price of villas in Deep Water Bay has begun to rise, and the villa at No. 72 was still 1.2 million last year, and now it is 1.3 million yuan.
The price of villas, if you want to rise, is actually very fast.
The reason for this is not because the economy on Hong Kong Island has begun to recover.
Not to mention anything else, authors such as Zhou Jifa and Wang Quanhui can definitely afford luxury villas in deep water bays, repulse bays and other places.
It is normal for the number of wealthy people to increase, and the rise in demand will lead to the rise in housing prices.
As an engineer, Bembatini's salary on Hong Kong Island is 5,000 yuan per month, which is ten times that of ordinary white-collar workers.
However, even so, it is not so easy to buy a villa.
Wendy smiled and said:
"It's coming, it's coming."
She didn't reveal anything more because she had been told by Bombatini not to say anything to the public.
In fact, Bombatini has already completed the development of a new material and is now in the testing phase.
Once there is no problem with the experiment, then the next step is to apply for a patent, as well as production.
Once confirmed, Bembatini will receive a £500,000 award from Rolls-Royce.
After receiving the reward, he can definitely afford to buy a villa in Deep Water Bay, but it is difficult to say whether there will be so many houses by then.
Of course, even if you can't buy a villa in Deep Water Bay, you can still buy a villa in Repulse Bay, halfway up the mountain, or near Pok Fu Lam Road.
After Qin Huairu returned home, she told her about it for many years.
"Do you like to live on the upper floors?"
Many years asked with a smile, she quickly shook her head, but the little bean bun said they liked it.
Qin Huairu nodded one by one, "You are just trying to get a sense of freshness, if you really live in a high-rise building, you will definitely regret it at that time." ”
"I don't regret it, how nice the high-rise building is, you can see the scenery"
"Isn't it easy to see the scenery? When the time comes, you can move to No. 43 Pak Ka Road. ”
The family started to talk about this topic.
Bai Tofu didn't participate, she typed in the room.
The child was so interesting that since the last time she heard her father's idea, she had written it down and started writing.
The opening that I wrote before has been abandoned.
She trusts her father's judgment, and she wants to escape the shadow of mortals.
Of course, the most important thing is that her dad helped her conceive the beginning, and then her dad prepared the outline.
It's just that, unlike her sister-in-law and eldest sister, the little guy has his own ideas and participates in the preparation of the outline.
No, it took more than half a month to complete the outline.
The outline of 1.5 million words was determined, and after it was completed, the creation of white tofu began.
She plans to write 100,000 words herself and then give it to her dad to review.
Although she only spends four hours a day creating in the evening, she is still very serious and hardworking.
"Dad, why does it take so long to decorate?"
Brother Jing was complaining about Bai Jiadao's house, because he was already a little impatient.
"Because of the five-story building, it must take a lot of time to decorate, and after the decoration is completed, it is impossible to move in immediately, and it must be placed for a period of time."
After many years of patient talking, the little guy muttered a little and didn't hold on anymore.
Kid, I don't have a lot of patience.
But the decoration materials of this era are said to be without formaldehyde, but who believes it?
Anyway, there is no shortage of houses in their family, so there is no need to be in such a hurry to move in.
It is estimated that the renovation will be completed in January, and when the time comes, the house will be ventilated and you will almost be able to move in.
After coming to Hong Kong Island, time flies very quickly.
If you are still in the capital, then time will pass slowly.
Without him, there are many things in the capital, but on Hong Kong Island, everything is going well, there are no worries in life, and of course time flies.
The day before New Year's Day, many years ago, I went to No. 43 Pak Ka Road to see the progress of the renovation.
It's already in the finishing stages, but not much faster.
For many years, it's not about speed, it's about quality, so it doesn't matter.
Standing on the top of the fifth floor and looking at Victoria Harbour is indeed refreshing.
This location is simply stunning.
Others need to run to the observation deck at the top of the mountain to enjoy these views, but for many years they don't need to, just go to the top of their own building.
And you can see it every day, if you have been staying here for a long time.
But I don't think so, after all, compared to the villa on White Road, Deep Water Bay is bigger, the scenery is good, and it is close to St. Paul's Primary School.
There is no place for the cleanest air than the farm in Tuen Mun.
Even at this point in time, there are a lot of chickens, ducks and geese on the farm, and it is very lively.
After coming out of Pak Ka Road, he returned to Deep Water Bay many years ago, picked up the bean buns and them, and then the family went to Tuen Mun Farm.
Once at the farm, the kids head straight to the valley where the mushroom shelves are.
"Wow, there are so many mushrooms, it's so much more beautiful than last time."
"Come here, will we eat mushrooms tonight?"
"Sister-in-law, take a picture of me, you see the mushrooms here are so beautiful."
Far away, before they could reach the stream, the children were already screaming.
Yesterday, the security guard on the farm side notified that the shiitake mushrooms on the farm side had grown much older.
So now after school, the children have been bringing them with me for many years.
Originally, Bai Tofu didn't want to come because she wanted to write, but she was ruthlessly refused.
She was too young to concentrate on writing all the time.
As a result, after she got in the car, she was always in the back seat, writing by herself, and not chatting with everyone.
Once at the farm, she had to put down her pen and paper and get involved in picking mushrooms.
The mushroom shelves are neatly arranged, and the trees are covered with mushrooms, which makes it look very beautiful, and this is the joy of a good harvest.
"Dad, are these shiitake mushrooms as delicious as summer solstice mushrooms?"
After taking the photo, Xiao Budian suddenly asked while helping to pick mushrooms.
When the summer solstice mushroom was still summer, the security guard on the farm called and picked it a few times.
Freshly picked summer solstice mushrooms, stewed with chicken, or simply stir-fried, are also very sweet and delicious.
It is precisely because I have tasted the extreme delicacy of summer solstice mushrooms that I still remember it and never forget it.
Hearing Xiao Budian's words, Xiao Doubao and their other children also followed to look at their father.
Obviously, they are also gluttonous.
"Of course, these shiitake mushrooms are also delicious."
For many years, although the summer solstice mushroom is extremely delicious, it can only appear briefly and fleeting during the summer period.
And as a special wild mushroom food, the summer solstice mushroom cannot be cultivated at all, and only grows once a year.
So it's extremely rare.
In contrast, shiitake mushrooms are different, they can be grown, and they are very sweet indeed.
Of course, if it is grown on a large scale, unlike many years, using branches such as maple trees, the taste of shiitake mushrooms will be much worse.
The aroma concentration of wild shiitake mushrooms is very, very high, and the taste is very sweet.
For many years, the reason why these mushroom shelves were placed next to the small streams in the valley and under the shade of the trees was to imitate the environment in which wild mushrooms grow.
It's just that this planting method is indeed different, which can make the production of shiitake mushrooms more and tend to be stable.
But there is still a big difference from indoor mushroom cultivation.
Shiitake mushrooms grown outdoors are greatly affected by natural conditions, and when the weather is cold, the growth rate of shiitake mushrooms will be very, very slow.
When the weather is warmer, shiitake mushrooms grow faster and produce more.
At the same time, in this process, you need to water regularly every day, otherwise there will be no shiitake mushrooms.
That is, those security guards and their families have been hired for many years to manage the farm, otherwise, the farm would have been abandoned a long time ago, and even if there are shiitake mushrooms, the yield is worrying.
"Then we'll eat stewed chicken with shiitake mushrooms tonight."
Brother Jing shouted, and immediately got everyone's unanimous approval.
Xiaomei was also happy to sigh:
"Brother, life on Hong Kong Island is really good, how can there be so many activities in the capital before?"
Her emotion was unanimously approved by everyone, especially Xu Xiaoqian, who also started counting with her fingers.
There are indeed a lot of activities on Hong Kong Island, and there are basically no restrictions, as long as you have money, you can live a comfortable life.
It was her fifth uncle who taught her how to write, which made her a lot of money.
"Isn't it good over there in the capital?"
For many years, he asked a funny rhetorical question, but he was unanimously opposed by everyone, especially Xiaodoubao and her children.
"Dad, it's not fun in the capital, and we can't go to other countries yet, we can't take a plane"
Good guys, these children seem to really like life here on Hong Kong Island.
At this time, many years, the mood suddenly became sad.
It's just the sudden emotion that comes very quickly.
People say that they can't be rich for three generations, and this is not unreasonable.
Now they all have the idea of hedonism, which has made them worry for many years.
What does the future hold for the next generation of children?
This emotion comes and goes quickly.
As a person who aspires to live for more than 100 years, I have felt that I have been worried about these things for many years, but it is actually unreasonable.
In addition, there is a saying that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and living a good life now is better than anything else.
The mushrooms were quickly picked, and the family returned to the hilltop villa to prepare dinner.
Unlike in Deep Water Bay, most of the farms are hands-on.
Even Xiaodoubao and they have to help choose and wash vegetables together, and they can't escape the housework.
Soon, the family worked together, and the rich aroma of shiitake mushrooms spread.
The little kids are all holding dishes and chopsticks, and they can't wait.
Even the white tofu felt very hungry, and his head had no idea of writing at all, just thinking about eating.
In a cheerful atmosphere, dinner officially began.
It's just that everyone tasted the shiitake mushrooms, or the summer solstice mushrooms are more exquisite.
Because summer solstice mushrooms can only be eaten once or twice a year, shiitake mushrooms can be eaten often, and the taste of summer solstice mushrooms is indeed sweeter.
After the turn of the day, it will be New Year's Day in the sixth or eighth year.
After spending New Year's Day on the farm, the family returned to Deep Water Bay, where those who should have gone to school continued to go to school, and those who should have gone to work went to work.
After many years, I received a phone call and went straight to the R&D center on Pokfulam Road.
"Blake, did the experiment really work?"
After walking into the R&D center, I couldn't wait to ask for many years.
Since the acquisition of Rolls-Royce, a lot of money has been thrown into it for many years, and most of the US knives, pounds and other cash in the space have been smashed into this project.
What he needed was three-rotor aero engine technology.
Last year, Blake, the head of the R&D department of the R&D center, reported the good news to many years, and this technology was broken.
Rewards and vacations followed, and Blake completed the task in eight months, in accordance with the allotted time.
In this regard, many years have also fulfilled the promise, and the real reward is 5 million pounds for these people.
Unfortunately, they still didn't get 10 million pounds, but many years later, they said that they would continue to reward 5 million pounds if they completed the wind tunnel tests within the deadline.
Immediately, it greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of these people for work.
In particular, Bembatini, a materials engineer, has been working with Rolls-Royce for less than a year and has developed the latest engine materials.
Received a £500,000 reward from the company.
This is an individual prize and is not included in the £5 million group award.
In this way, it is directly rich overnight!
Therefore, the thousands of people in the R&D center will continue to fight and will inevitably become the next Bombatini.
It is said that the power of example is powerful, and sure enough!
"Yes, BOSS, we have completed a thousand hours of testing yesterday, and then after an evening and a morning inspection, all the data of the engine is very normal at the moment."
Blake excitedly said, "Now we can set up a factory production line and start mass production."
Mass production means delivery to the corresponding airline.
In the past, Rolls-Royce produced engines, either as a project with others or as custom engines.
Now, Rolls-Royce is preparing to produce its own commercial aircraft.
However, due to the extreme difficulty of developing commercial airliners, only engines have been developed so far.
Therefore, the engines produced can only be sold to others.
Earlier, many years ago, I told Alexander, the head of Hong Kong Island, that he had already asked for an order for ten aero engines.
Blakes naturally knew about this, and even the entire engine R&D department knew about it.
After all, it's one of the things that motivates them to move forward.
"Okay, let's start producing!"
Many years smiled and nodded, and continued:
"Will these two engines work properly in the laboratory?"
Engines equipped with state-of-the-art technology will naturally be coveted for many years.
However, Rolls-Royce's current machine research and development technology and assembly technology are still very average, and he is still a little worried.
Although since the year before, a lot of money has been invested in recruiting troops for many years.
But the manufacturing process of the whole aircraft is not so simple.
In addition, if it is equipped with a new engine, then the requirements for other aspects of the cabin will also be a little different.
Just one riveting technique can stump many people.
You must know that the workers who can work in aircraft assembly factories are highly educated people.
But the reality is that there are not many literate people on Hong Kong Island, let alone excellent talents in science and engineering.
For many years, it can only target European and American countries, and only these countries can meet the development needs of Rolls-Royce.
"Yes, BOSS, no problem at all."
Blake swore that many years nodded that there was no problem, let them test it again, and then package it, and he asked for it.
In this regard, Blake and the others were not sad, but quite happy.
Immediately, he listened to many years of big hands and said:
"The reward of five million pounds will arrive in your bank account tomorrow, and then I will give you half a month's vacation, with beach beauties, sports cars and red wine."
"At the end of this month, it is the Spring Festival here on Hong Kong Island, and before the Spring Festival, you can come back."
When the crowd heard this, they were silent for a few seconds, and then burst into enthusiastic cheers, whistles, and applause.
The bustle here spreads through the houses and high-rise buildings to the side of Pok Fu Lam Road.
The entire R&D center is very large, but because Pokfulam Road passes through the middle, there is a mountain on one side and a flat land for the R&D center on the other.
The location of the R&D center was originally a pasture, which was developed by the dairy company to raise dairy cows.
The huge grassland has now been developed into many high-rise buildings, some are office buildings, some are researchers' residences, some are auditoriums, and there are factory production workshops, wind tunnel laboratories and so on.
It occupies almost the entire Pok Fu Lam Road, a narrow flat land near the sea.
After the cheers, many years stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the sea in the distance, and suddenly said:
"Alexander, we can reclaim land from the sea, right?"
Faced with the big boss's sudden question, Alexander, who had already done his homework, hurriedly said:
"Yes, we have surveyed the seabed in this area, and the submarine continental plate of the entire Hong Kong Island extends outward, about 120 meters wide."
However, extending to a position of about 100 meters, the depth of the seabed has reached 80 meters.
In such a deep sea, if you want to fill it, you will definitely need a lot of materials.
It's not worth it!
The best option is to extend it 30 meters, which is considered from the point of view of ROI.
After many years of deep silence, he said:
"Okay, I know, you don't have to worry about this, I'll find someone else to take over the land reclamation plan."
Of course, he would not approve of Alexander's proposal.
Nearby is Lamma Island, opposite is Zhou Gong Island, 80 meters deep sea area, what about it?
For the sake of the development of Hong Kong Island, it is not too easy to fill in these sea areas.
If it weren't for the fact that Victoria Harbour was so famous, I would have thought about filling it up for many years.
After all, the depth of the sea in Victoria Harbour is only about 20 to 40 meters.
However, the entire area of Victoria Harbour is 41 square kilometres, which is definitely not a small place.
Of course, Victoria Harbour is not easy to fill in, but the sea area near Pok Fu Lam Road can be filled in completely.
On Pok Fu Lam Road, there are HKU, Queen Mary Hospital, Pok Fu Lam Village, Reservoir and so on.
There is no way to ask others to relocate, and if the R&D center wants to continue to expand, it can only be reclaimed from the sea.
"Okay boss."
Alexander suddenly said respectfully, but muttered in his heart: Is there any other way for the boss?
He also looked out at the sea, the dark water, which was terrifying.
How many stones, sand, and other materials do we need to fill in this sea area?
I can't imagine it! (End of chapter)
