I am many years in the courtyard
Chapter 435, Reclamation of Sea and 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 saw the title on the newspaper, and exclaimed:
"Is there another competition? Brother, do you want to participate?"
Although her brother's monthly manuscript fee is an average of 50 million, if he participates in the competition, the manuscript fee will definitely be more.
"Of course, I don't know how many times I have read The Legend of Mortals Cultivating Immortality. This is also the story I have always wanted to write."
As a frequent visitor who ranks high on the monthly ticket list, Wang Quanhui is also very ambitious.
Since moving to Tsim Sha Tsui, almost every day, he would read Mingyue Novels after finishing writing the novel.
He needs to see how others create, then study, analyze, copy, etc.
In particular, Mortal Cultivation of Immortality is a regular that ranks first on the monthly vote list. Except for a few times, the rest of the series ranks first on the monthly vote list.
why?
Because this novel is so beautiful, there are so many readers who like it.
Even in Tokyo, they gave crazy rewards to one of the Three Kingdoms novels and added a lot of monthly tickets.
But it only took the first place in the monthly voting list twice, but it was weak in the follow-up and was defeated by the readers of Mortal Cultivation of Immortality.
After all, there are far fewer readers who like Three Kingdoms novels than those who like mortals.
Who told Mortal’s book to have greater stamina as it gets to a later stage?
"Brother, I believe you can definitely take first place."
Wang Xiaomin clenched her fists and said encouragingly. Her brother also smiled and nodded confidently.
In a simple room on Taiwan Island, Li Ye was staring at Zhongyong Daily in trance.
The layout of Zhongyong Daily in Taiwan is not much different from that in Hong Kong.
The only difference is the advertisement in the newspaper, everything else is almost the same.
Li Ye saw clearly that Mingyue, Zhongyong, New Economic Daily and other three companies jointly held an essay competition for Xianxia novels.
And this time the bonus is actually HK$500 million.
This attraction is immediately full.
Even if you are only shortlisted, there are still 1 places and a bonus of HK$[-].
In an era when the per capita salary is only 400 yuan, 1 Hong Kong dollars is already the salary of many migrant workers for ten years.
Therefore, as a novel bookworm, Li Ye became excited instantly.
But thinking that he had submitted for a year without being selected, I couldn't help but feel discouraged.
It's not that the standards of Mingyue's novels and publications are too high, but that the novels he created are too rubbish.
If it cannot meet the publication standards, it will certainly not be included.
There are many young people similar to Li Ye.
Most people are hot-headed and then submit articles.
A few people will spend time and energy thinking about how to create and how to write a better opening.
It can’t be too watery, otherwise, it will be like an assembly line.
The plot must flow smoothly!
Immediately, Li Ye saw several creative reference books advertised in the newspaper, including translations of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, reference books on fairy tale novels, etc.
"I want to buy!"
After seeing these reference books, Li Ye's eyes suddenly shone, and then he quickly took the money and left home to buy at a nearby bookstore.
At the door of the bookstore, Li Ye came to the cashier and asked directly if there was still a translation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
As a result, the cashier rolled his eyes: "No more, don't come to ask, it has been sold out long ago."
what?
Li Ye was stunned for a moment. It was a reference book. How could it be sold out all at once?
"When will that happen?"
"I don't know, I guess it will be tomorrow morning. Anyway, our manager just called and there is no stock yet."
"Do you accept reservations here?"
The cashier heard this and said no very impatiently.
Doesn't this simply increase his workload?
What’s more, what the hell is a reservation?
When the manager not far away heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he rushed over quickly and said to Li Ye:
"Little brother, we accept reservations here, but you need to pay a deposit of one yuan in advance!"
Hearing this, Li Ye took out one dollar and made his decision without saying anything.
For him, the fact that he failed to pass the review standards so many times before must be the reason why he did not buy a reference book.
This time, I will buy whatever I say!
Soon, Li Ye's actions gave hope to some young people nearby who wanted to write novels.
The manager who was reluctant to collect the deposit smiled from ear to ear. He immediately ran to pick up the phone again and called the branch of Shanhai Publishing House in Taiwan.
No. 72, Deep Water Bay, Hong Kong Island.
After entering December, the temperature on Hong Kong Island has become even colder, having dropped to around [-] degrees Celsius.
This temperature is far inferior to that of Beijing, but for Hong Kong Island, it is indeed quite cold.
"Dad, won't we see snow again this year?"
At the doorstep of the house, Xiaodoubao was enjoying the rare cold weather, jumping around in the yard wearing newly bought clothes.
In the living room, the little boy was complaining to his father that the military coat in his room had never been worn yet, so it was really the bottom of the bag.
"Just keep it as low as possible. You don't think that the cold weather in Beijing is going to be good, do you?"
Many years ago, he slapped the little one on the head and settled an account for him.
"Every winter, our family has to buy cabbage for winter storage and briquettes. Sometimes when the coal is not enough, we have to buy firewood."
"In addition to these, there are also military coats, and you may have forgotten what your grandparents told you."
"In the past, many things were very expensive. Throughout the winter, I didn't dare to go out for anything."
Because once you go out, you need to wear thick clothes, but where did your family get so many thick clothes at that time?
Life is difficult, not just in words, it is really difficult.
The little one has a strong mental arithmetic ability and can calculate it quickly. In this way, the cost of living in the capital is indeed much more expensive than that on Hong Kong Island.
Just as he was still talking for many years, the phone in the living room rang.
Hot Wheels happened to be next to the phone and picked it up immediately.
The caller was Andy, not the classmate that Hot Wheels was yearning for.
The little guy has made a lot of friends since he went to school, and he goes out to play with his classmates every now and then.
Especially after playing football with several children from Huo Jiandong's family last time, both the little ones and the older brothers often made appointments to play with them.
However, it is only on weekends and other holidays. When they are in school, the little ones cannot go out to play.
After all, they need to learn, and daily boxing training is indispensable.
"Hey, Andy, it's me, what happened?"
After answering the phone for many years, Andy's excited voice came from the other side.
exploded!
A book like the modern translation of The Classic of Mountains and Seas has become such a hit, it’s incredible!
But it's not surprising, because this is an officially designated reference book, which is equivalent to the 'Xinhua Dictionary' for many people who are dedicated to writing novels.
Moreover, the translation of Shan Hai Jing is not simply a translation of classical Chinese into modern dialect, but an artistic process.
For example, the above will also compile the combat power rankings of the many strange beasts, mythical beasts, etc. in the Book of Mountains and Seas, as well as their respective force values and special abilities.
So for those who want to write novels, its reference function is simply excellent.
In addition to reference books, the Xianxia novels on the monthly ticket rankings have also experienced a wave of hot sales.
Even the two fairy tale novels ranked at the bottom have seen their monthly ticket sales soar a lot.
Of course, it is Mortal Cultivation of Immortality that is the most powerful one, and its title of champion is unshakable.
Otherwise, too many people like this novel.
Although the word count is very long, over 700 million, and it has been serialized for more than a year, it is still only in the Nascent Soul stage.
After entering the spiritual world, its more vast and magnificent world of immortals will be revealed.
As for the fairyland, it is still too far away.
"Well done, but you have to do your job well and investigate the potential of the market."
I have been happy for many years when I heard that sales have exploded.
It's not because of how much money I make, but because the novel's influence has increased.
The emergence of a platform can bring success to many people and give everyone more choices.
Competitors such as Ming Pao and Sing Tao Daily no longer know what to say.
What the hell are fairy tale novels about?
The bonus of HKD 500 million is very attractive.
After hanging up the phone for many years, I saw Xu Xiaoqian, whom I hadn't seen for several days, walking out of the room.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to continue practicing in seclusion?"
In recent days, Xu Xiaoqian has been trapped in her room, just wanting to write a good novel.
Qin Huairu also expressed concern, "Xiaoqian, are you not feeling well? You look so bad, have you encountered a bottleneck?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiaoqian couldn't bear it anymore.
"Fifth sister-in-law, I can't write it."
Although she couldn't write it, 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 fairy novels rely on imagination, and the writing must reach a certain level.
Otherwise, the novel will be impossible to read.
Originally, she was good at writing female videos, but she had a whim and insisted on trying fairy novels. Isn't this a joke?
Doesn’t she know that the competition among fairy tale novels will be fierce?
I know, but she just wants a challenge.
Qin Huairu hugged her and coaxed her like a child.
Xiaodoubao had returned to the living room, and when he saw this scene, he immediately smiled.
"Dad, please help me see if this opening chapter I wrote is okay?"
At this time, Bai Doufu came down from the second floor with two pages of manuscript in his hand and handed it to her father.
Did the little guy actually write it down?
After many years, he was still quite surprised. Even Qin Huairu and others looked over. Xu Xiaoqian couldn't care less about being sad and came closer to take a look.
Not to mention, Bai Tofu has put a lot of effort into it, and the opening chapter is still well written.
In many years, it seems that it barely meets the review standards.
It's just that she is a little kid, imitating the writing style of mortals and creating creations. The shadow of mortals is too deep.
If it were published, it would definitely be accused of plagiarism.
"My child." Niannian's expression was a little tangled as he considered his words.
But his expression made Bai Doufu tremble, and his originally expectant expression suddenly collapsed.
Although Bai Doufu is only over seven years old, the little guy is quite good at observing words and emotions.
"It's like this. Your writing style, writing structure, etc. are actually quite good, and they meet the publishing standards."
Qin Huairu immediately slapped her thigh and said:
"Isn't this very good? Then it can be published? Then who did you show that serious expression just now? Look how you scared the child?"
Bai Doufu looked at her father pitifully, stunned for a moment, and then said:
"I'm not trying to scare children. Although the three thousand words at the beginning are not many, they actually cannot escape the shadow of mortals. It will be very difficult to write."
This is not the most important thing. What is more important is that the subsequent book reviews will probably be very ugly.
It's a fanfic, but it doesn't feature the main character's plot. It starts with the plot of joining a cultivating sect, which is similar to that of a mortal.
Unless the opening chapter is attractive enough, the writing is fluent, and the plot is smooth, I wouldn't say it has passed the publication requirements for many years.
"Dad, is it okay as long as I modify it a little bit?"
Bai Doufu's big eyes suddenly flashed brightly.
If it can really be published, then this will be her happiest thing.
She is only seven years old and can publish a novel, which is great.
Xu Xiaoqian, who had read the manuscript next to her, suddenly sighed and said:
"Uncle Wu, I finally understand what you said before. Writing novels really requires talent. Bai Doufu is more talented than me, and the novels she writes are much better than mine."
This is normal, some people are just so unreasonable.
Let alone writing novels, some geniuses can invent and create at a very young age. This 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 do some people become famous at a young age, and why do more people live a life of mediocrity?
Bai Doufu was very happy after hearing this. She didn't care about her eldest sister, and now her mind was full of writing novels.
There is a typewriter at home. This thing is nothing new to the six children in the family.
Because there are three novel writers in the family, Bai Doufu and his six children are often watching, and they also play with the typewriter when Duan Nian, Xiaomei and others rest.
Last year, Bai Doufu had been thinking about writing a novel, so she took out her pocket money and asked her father to buy her a typewriter.
With her pocket money, it was actually not enough money for a typewriter.
But it doesn't matter. She feels that as long as she works hard, there will definitely be no problem.
"Dad, please teach me quickly and tell me how to write next?"
Immediately, she pestered her father and insisted on letting her father teach her.
Xiaodoubao and Xiaotuanzi were also listening. After a short while, they were called away by their grandpa.
The little one is not interested in this. He only likes mathematics and physics.
The two children, Brother Jing and Hot Wheels, just wanted to play.
The child loves writing novels so much, and he has had to teach her step by step for many years. He doesn't know how far she can achieve it.
But this feeling of guiding children to grow up slowly is still very satisfying.
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 Bombatini family of three moved into a house on the 38th floor of a [-]-story complex with four units on each floor.
On the second day after moving, Wendy invited Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e to visit her home.
From the moment they enter the community, both Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e need to register before they can enter the community.
Then he took the elevator to the thirteenth floor, and Qin Huairu discovered that this building actually had six elevators, which was really luxurious.
But after entering Bombatini's house, Qin Huairu was also surprised.
"Wow, your home is so spacious?"
Developers here on Hong Kong Island generally build very narrow houses.
However, this house built by Rolls-Royce is very different.
Not to mention that it is in the R&D center itself, and the safety and security is first-class.
There are four apartments on the first floor. The apartment of the Bombatini family is actually a large house with five bedrooms and 270 square meters.
If the apartment types are all of the same area, then the usable area of one floor will be more than [-] square meters.
Coupled with the spacious balcony and so on, this house is so worth it.
As long as Bombatini works here on Hong Kong Island for eight years, this house will become his own private property.
Therefore, if you resign after not working for enough years, the house will be repossessed.
In a large house of 270 square meters, the living room is naturally very spacious. No wonder Qin Huairu was so surprised.
Wendy herself was very happy and took 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 the villa was better.
"Then your husband has to work hard to make money."
Qin Huairu said with a smile.
Nowadays, the house prices of villas in Deep Water Bay have begun to rise. The villa at No. 72 was 120 million last year, but now it is 130 million at least.
The price of villas actually rises very quickly.
The reason for this is not because the economy on Hong Kong Island has begun to recover.
Not to mention other things, novel authors such as Zhou Jifa and Wang Quanhui can definitely afford luxury villas in Deep Water Bay, Repulse Bay and other places.
There are more and more wealthy people, and demand has increased, driving up housing prices. This is normal.
As an engineer, Bombatini's salary here on Hong Kong Island is 5000 yuan per month, which is equivalent to ten times that of an ordinary white-collar worker.
However, even so, it is not easy to buy a villa.
Wendy smiled and said:
"It's coming soon."
She did not reveal more because she had been told by Bombatini not to tell anyone.
In fact, Bombatini has completed the research and development of a new material and has now entered the testing stage.
Once there are no problems with the experiment, the next step is to apply for a patent and production.
After confirmation, Bombatini will be able to receive a reward of 50 pounds from Rolls-Royce.After receiving the reward, he can definitely afford a villa in Deep Water Bay, but it is hard 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, on the mountainside, or near Pok Fu Lam Road.
After Qin Huairu returned home, she told Duan Nian about this.
"Do you like living in high-rise buildings?"
Many years ago asked with a smile, she quickly shook her head, but Xiaodoubao and the others expressed that they liked it.
After Qin Huairu pointed it out, "You are just trying to feel fresh. If you really live in a high-rise building, you will definitely regret it later."
"I don't regret it. The high-rise building is great and you can enjoy the scenery."
"Isn't it easy to see the scenery? Just move to No. 43 Barker Road when the time comes."
The family started talking about this topic.
Bai Doufu did not participate. She was typing in her room.
This child is very interesting. After hearing her father's idea last time, she recorded it and started writing.
The opening chapter I wrote before has been abandoned.
She trusts her father's judgment, and she also wants to escape the mortal shadow.
Of course, the most important thing is that her father helped her come up with the beginning, and then her father also prepared the outline.
However, unlike her sister-in-law and eldest sister, the little guy had his own ideas and participated in the writing of the outline.
No, it took more than half a month to refine the outline.
After determining the outline of the 150 million-word novel, Bai Doufu began writing.
She planned to write [-] words herself and then give it to her father to review.
Although she only has four hours in the evening to write novels every day, she still works hard.
"Dad, why does it take so long to decorate?"
Brother Jing was complaining about the house in Baijiadao because he couldn't wait any longer.
"Because it's a five-story building, it will definitely take a lot of time to decorate. And after the decoration is completed, it's impossible to move in immediately. It has to be left for a while."
Many years said patiently, and the little guy mumbled and stopped holding on.
Children definitely don’t have much patience.
However, the decoration materials of this era are said to be free of formaldehyde, but who believes it?
Anyway, their family has no shortage of houses, so there is no need to rush to move in.
It is estimated that the decoration will be completed in January, and by then the house will be aired out, and it will be almost ready to move in.
After arriving in Hong Kong Island, time flies very quickly.
If you are still in the capital, time will pass slowly.
Without him, there are a lot of things going on in the capital, but on Hong Kong Island, everything goes smoothly, there are no worries in life, and time certainly flies by.
On the day before New Year's Day, I went to No. 43 Barker Road for many years to see the renovation progress.
It's already in the finishing stages, but not much faster.
For many years, the requirement is not speed, but quality, so it doesn't matter.
Standing on the top of the fifth floor and looking out at Victoria Harbor is really refreshing.
This location is simply amazing.
Others need to go to the observation deck on the top of the mountain to enjoy these scenery, but for many years they don't need to, they just need to go to the roof of their own building.
And you can see it every day, if you have been living here.
But I guess not. After all, compared to the villa on Barker Road, the Deep Water Bay side is bigger, has a better view, and is close to St. Paul's Primary School.
There is no place with the freshest air than the farms over Tuen Mun.
Even at this time, there are many chickens, ducks and geese on the farm and it is very lively.
After coming out of Barker Road, I returned to Deep Water Bay many years ago, picked up Xiao Doubao and the others, and then the family went to Tuen Mun Farm.
After arriving at the farm, the little kids went straight to the valley where the mushroom shelves were.
"Wow, there are so many mushrooms. They are much more beautiful than last time."
"Grandpa Master, come here quickly. Can we eat mushrooms tonight?"
"Sister-in-law, take a photo for me quickly. Look at the beautiful mushrooms here."
A long way away, before reaching the creek, the children were already shouting.
Yesterday, the security guard at the farm notified us that the mushrooms at the farm had grown much older.
So today after the children get out of school, I have brought them here for many years.
Originally, Bai Doufu didn't want to come because she wanted to write a novel, but she was ruthlessly rejected.
She is still too young to be able to concentrate on writing and creating.
As a result, after she got into the car, she stayed in the back seat, minding her own writing, and stopped chatting with everyone.
After arriving at the farm, she had to put down her paper and pen and get involved in picking mushrooms.
The mushroom shelves are neatly arranged, and the criss-crossing trees are covered with mushrooms, which look very beautiful. This is the joy of a good harvest.
"Dad, are these shiitake mushrooms as delicious as summer solstice mushrooms?"
After taking the photo, Xiaodian suddenly asked while helping to pick mushrooms.
When the summer solstice mushrooms were still in summer, the security guard at the farm called and picked them several times.
Summer solstice mushrooms freshly picked from the fields are also very sweet and delicious when stewed with chicken or simply stir-fried.
It is precisely because she has tasted the ultimate deliciousness of summer solstice mushrooms that the little one still remembers them and never forgets them.
After hearing the little one's words, Xiaodoubao and the other children also looked at their father.
Obviously, they are also greedy.
"Of course, these mushrooms are also delicious."
For many years, although the summer solstice mushroom is a delicious food, it can only appear briefly during summer and disappear quickly.
Moreover, as a special wild fungus ingredient, summer solstice mushrooms cannot be grown at all and only grow once a year.
So it's extremely rare.
In comparison, shiitake mushrooms are different. They can be grown and are indeed very sweet.
Of course, if it is that kind of large-scale planting, unlike many years, if it is grown using branches such as maple trees, the taste of shiitake mushrooms will be much worse.
The fragrance concentration of wild shiitake mushrooms is very, very high, and the taste is also very sweet.
The reason why these mushroom shelves have been placed beside the streams in the valley and under the shade of trees for many years is to imitate the growth environment of wild mushrooms.
It's just that this planting method is indeed different and can make the yield of shiitake mushrooms more stable.
But it is still very different from indoor mushroom cultivation.
Shiitake mushrooms grown outdoors are greatly affected by natural conditions. When the weather is cold, the growth rate of shiitake mushrooms will be very, very slow.
When the weather gets warmer, shiitake mushrooms grow faster and produce more.
At the same time, during this process, you need to water regularly every day, otherwise there will be no mushrooms.
In other words, the security guards and their families have been hired for many years to manage the farm. Otherwise, the farm would have been abandoned long ago. Even if there are mushrooms, the output will be worrying.
"Then let's eat chicken stew with mushrooms tonight."
Brother Jing shouted, and everyone immediately agreed.
Xiaomei was also very happy and sighed:
"Brother, life here on Hong Kong Island is really great. How could there be so many activities in the capital before?"
Her emotion was unanimously approved by everyone, especially Xu Xiaoqian, who started counting on her fingers.
There are indeed many activities on Hong Kong Island, and they are basically unrestricted. As long as you have money, you can live a very comfortable life.
It was her fifth uncle who taught her how to write and made her a lot of money.
"Isn't it better in the capital?"
I asked this question in a funny way for many years, but was unanimously opposed by everyone, especially Xiaodoubao and the other children.
"Dad, it's not fun over there in Beijing, and we can't go to other countries or fly by plane."
Good guy, these kids seem to really like life here on Hong Kong Island.
After many years at this time, my mood suddenly became sad.
It's a sudden emotion that comes very quickly.
People say that you can only be rich for three generations, and this is not unreasonable.
Today's little ones all have a hedonistic mindset, which has caused them to worry for many years.
What will the future hold for the next generation of children?
The emotion came and went quickly.
As someone who aspires to live to be over a hundred years old, I have felt for many years that my worries were unreasonable.
There is also a saying that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and living a good life now is better than anything else.
The mushrooms were picked quickly, and the family returned to the mountaintop villa to prepare dinner.
Unlike in Deep Water Bay, after coming to the farm, most of the work needs to be done by yourself.
Even the bean buns and the others have to help select and wash the vegetables, which is unavoidable housework.
Soon, the whole family started cooking together, and the rich aroma of the mushrooms spread.
The little kids all held bowls and chopsticks, a little impatient.
Even Bai Tofu felt very hungry. He had no idea of writing a novel in his head and only thought about eating.
In a cheerful atmosphere, dinner officially began.
But after everyone tasted the shiitake mushrooms, the summer solstice mushrooms were the most delicious.
Because summer solstice mushrooms can only be eaten once or twice a year, shiitake mushrooms can be eaten frequently, and the taste of summer solstice mushrooms is indeed more fresh and sweet.
Come on, it's New Year's Day in [-].
After spending New Year's Day on the farm, the family returned to Deep Water Bay. Those who needed to go to school continued to go to school, and those who needed to go to work went to work.
I got the call many years ago and went straight to the R&D center on Pok Fu Lam Road.
"Blake, was the experiment really successful?"
After walking into the R&D center, I couldn't wait to ask.
Since the acquisition of Rolls-Royce, a lot of money has been poured into it over the years. Most of the US dollars, pounds and other cash in the space have been poured into this project.
What he needs is three-rotor aeroengine technology.
Last year, Blake, the head of the R&D department of the R&D center, reported the good news to many years that this technology had been broken.
Rewards and vacations followed, and Blake completed the task within eight months in accordance with the prescribed time.
In this regard, it has fulfilled its promise for many years and actually rewarded these people with 500 million pounds.
It's a pity that they still failed to get 1000 million pounds. However, many years later, they said that if they completed the wind tunnel test within the deadline, they would continue to be awarded 500 million pounds.
This immediately greatly aroused the enthusiasm of these people for their work.
In particular, Bombatini, a materials engineer, successfully developed the latest engine materials in less than a year after joining Rolls-Royce.
Received a reward of 50 pounds from the company.
This is an individual award and is not included in the £500 million group award.
In this way, you will become rich overnight!
Therefore, these thousands of people in the R&D center are bound to become the next Bombatini as they continue to work hard.
They say the power of role models is powerful, and it’s true!
"Yes, BOSS, we have completed a thousand hours of testing yesterday, and after a night and morning inspection, all the current engine data are very normal."
Blake said excitedly, "Now we can set up the factory production line and start mass production."
Mass production means delivery to the corresponding airlines.
In the past, the engines produced by Rolls-Royce were either collaborative projects with others or customized engines.
Now, Rolls-Royce is preparing to produce its own commercial aircraft.
However, because it is extremely difficult to develop commercial passenger aircraft, only engines have been developed so far.
Therefore, the engines produced can only be sold to others.
Many years ago, I told Alexander, the person in charge of Hong Kong Island, that he already had a way to order ten aero engines.
Blake naturally knew about this, and even the entire engine research and development department knew about it.
After all, this is one of the things that motivates them to move forward.
"Okay, let's start production!"
Many Years smiled and nodded, then said:
"Can these two engines in the laboratory be used normally?"
Engines equipped with the most advanced technology have naturally been extremely coveted for many years.
However, Rolls-Royce's current complete machine research and development technology, assembly technology, etc. are still very average, and he is still a little worried.
Although starting from the year before last, a large amount of money has been invested in recruiting troops for many years.
But the manufacturing process of the entire aircraft is not that simple.
Besides, if it is equipped with a new engine, the requirements for other aspects of the cabin will also be somewhat different.
Just a riveting technique can stump many people.
You must know that the workers who can work in aircraft assembly factories are all highly educated people.
But the reality is that there are not many literate people on Hong Kong Island, let alone outstanding talents in science and engineering.
For many years, it can only target European and American countries. Only these countries can meet the development needs of Rolls-Royce.
"Okay, BOSS, there's no problem at all."
Blake said emphatically, nodding for many years that there was no problem, and asked them to test it again, and then package it, and he wanted it.
In this regard, Blake and others were not sad, but rather happy.
Immediately, I heard Duan Nian wave his big hand and say:
"The reward of 500 million pounds will arrive in your bank account tomorrow. Next, I will give you a half-month holiday, including beach beauties, sports cars and red wine."
"The end of this month is the Spring Festival here on Hong Kong Island. You can just come back before the Spring Festival."
After hearing this, everyone was quiet for a few seconds, and then burst into enthusiastic cheers, whistles and applause.
The excitement here penetrates the houses and high-rise buildings and spreads to Pok Fu Lam Road.
The entire R&D center is very large, but since Pok Fu Lam Road passes through the middle, there are mountains on one side and the flat land of the R&D center on the other.
The location of the R&D center was originally a pasture developed by the dairy company to raise dairy cows.
The huge grassland has now been developed into many high-rise buildings, some of which are office buildings, some of which are researchers' residences, some of which are auditoriums, as well as factory production workshops, wind tunnel laboratories, etc.
It occupies almost the entire Pok Fu Lam Road, a narrow strip of flat land near the sea.
After the cheers, I stood in front of the French window for many years, looking at the sea in the distance, and suddenly said:
"Alexander, we can reclaim land from the sea, right?"
Faced with the sudden question from the big boss, Alexander, who had already done his homework, quickly said:
"Yes, we have surveyed the seabed in this area. The entire continental plate on the seafloor of Hong Kong Island extends outward and is about 120 meters wide."
However, extending to about 100 meters, the depth of the seabed has reached 80 meters.
If you want to fill such a deep sea area, you will definitely need a lot of materials.
This investment is not worth it!
The best thing is to extend it 30 meters. This is a plan considered from the perspective of return on investment.
After pondering for a long time for many years, he said:
"Okay, I understand. You don't have to worry about this. I'll find someone else to take over the land reclamation project."
Of course he would not agree with Alexander's proposal.
Nearby is Lamma Island, opposite is Zhougong Island, and the sea is 80 meters deep, so what?
For the development of Hong Kong Island, it would not be easy to fill in these sea areas.
If Victoria Harbor wasn't so famous, I would have thought about filling it in for many years.
After all, the depth of water in Victoria Harbor is only about 20 to 40 meters.
However, the entire Victoria Harbor covers an area of 41 square kilometers, which is definitely not a small place.
Of course, it is difficult to fill in Victoria Harbor, but the sea area near Pok Fu Lam Road can be filled in completely.
You must know that on Pok Fu Lam Road, there are the University of Hong Kong, Queen Mary Hospital, Pok Fu Lam Village, reservoirs, etc.
There is no way to ask others to relocate these things. If the R&D center wants to continue to expand, it can only reclaim land from the sea.
"Good boss."
Alexander immediately said respectfully, but there was a murmur in his heart: Does the boss have other ideas?
He also looked out at the sea. The dark water was frightening.
How much stone, sand and other materials are needed to fill this sea area?
It’s unimaginable! (End of chapter)
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 saw the title on the newspaper, and exclaimed:
"Is there another competition? Brother, do you want to participate?"
Although her brother's monthly manuscript fee is an average of 50 million, if he participates in the competition, the manuscript fee will definitely be more.
"Of course, I don't know how many times I have read The Legend of Mortals Cultivating Immortality. This is also the story I have always wanted to write."
As a frequent visitor who ranks high on the monthly ticket list, Wang Quanhui is also very ambitious.
Since moving to Tsim Sha Tsui, almost every day, he would read Mingyue Novels after finishing writing the novel.
He needs to see how others create, then study, analyze, copy, etc.
In particular, Mortal Cultivation of Immortality is a regular that ranks first on the monthly vote list. Except for a few times, the rest of the series ranks first on the monthly vote list.
why?
Because this novel is so beautiful, there are so many readers who like it.
Even in Tokyo, they gave crazy rewards to one of the Three Kingdoms novels and added a lot of monthly tickets.
But it only took the first place in the monthly voting list twice, but it was weak in the follow-up and was defeated by the readers of Mortal Cultivation of Immortality.
After all, there are far fewer readers who like Three Kingdoms novels than those who like mortals.
Who told Mortal’s book to have greater stamina as it gets to a later stage?
"Brother, I believe you can definitely take first place."
Wang Xiaomin clenched her fists and said encouragingly. Her brother also smiled and nodded confidently.
In a simple room on Taiwan Island, Li Ye was staring at Zhongyong Daily in trance.
The layout of Zhongyong Daily in Taiwan is not much different from that in Hong Kong.
The only difference is the advertisement in the newspaper, everything else is almost the same.
Li Ye saw clearly that Mingyue, Zhongyong, New Economic Daily and other three companies jointly held an essay competition for Xianxia novels.
And this time the bonus is actually HK$500 million.
This attraction is immediately full.
Even if you are only shortlisted, there are still 1 places and a bonus of HK$[-].
In an era when the per capita salary is only 400 yuan, 1 Hong Kong dollars is already the salary of many migrant workers for ten years.
Therefore, as a novel bookworm, Li Ye became excited instantly.
But thinking that he had submitted for a year without being selected, I couldn't help but feel discouraged.
It's not that the standards of Mingyue's novels and publications are too high, but that the novels he created are too rubbish.
If it cannot meet the publication standards, it will certainly not be included.
There are many young people similar to Li Ye.
Most people are hot-headed and then submit articles.
A few people will spend time and energy thinking about how to create and how to write a better opening.
It can’t be too watery, otherwise, it will be like an assembly line.
The plot must flow smoothly!
Immediately, Li Ye saw several creative reference books advertised in the newspaper, including translations of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, reference books on fairy tale novels, etc.
"I want to buy!"
After seeing these reference books, Li Ye's eyes suddenly shone, and then he quickly took the money and left home to buy at a nearby bookstore.
At the door of the bookstore, Li Ye came to the cashier and asked directly if there was still a translation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
As a result, the cashier rolled his eyes: "No more, don't come to ask, it has been sold out long ago."
what?
Li Ye was stunned for a moment. It was a reference book. How could it be sold out all at once?
"When will that happen?"
"I don't know, I guess it will be tomorrow morning. Anyway, our manager just called and there is no stock yet."
"Do you accept reservations here?"
The cashier heard this and said no very impatiently.
Doesn't this simply increase his workload?
What’s more, what the hell is a reservation?
When the manager not far away heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he rushed over quickly and said to Li Ye:
"Little brother, we accept reservations here, but you need to pay a deposit of one yuan in advance!"
Hearing this, Li Ye took out one dollar and made his decision without saying anything.
For him, the fact that he failed to pass the review standards so many times before must be the reason why he did not buy a reference book.
This time, I will buy whatever I say!
Soon, Li Ye's actions gave hope to some young people nearby who wanted to write novels.
The manager who was reluctant to collect the deposit smiled from ear to ear. He immediately ran to pick up the phone again and called the branch of Shanhai Publishing House in Taiwan.
No. 72, Deep Water Bay, Hong Kong Island.
After entering December, the temperature on Hong Kong Island has become even colder, having dropped to around [-] degrees Celsius.
This temperature is far inferior to that of Beijing, but for Hong Kong Island, it is indeed quite cold.
"Dad, won't we see snow again this year?"
At the doorstep of the house, Xiaodoubao was enjoying the rare cold weather, jumping around in the yard wearing newly bought clothes.
In the living room, the little boy was complaining to his father that the military coat in his room had never been worn yet, so it was really the bottom of the bag.
"Just keep it as low as possible. You don't think that the cold weather in Beijing is going to be good, do you?"
Many years ago, he slapped the little one on the head and settled an account for him.
"Every winter, our family has to buy cabbage for winter storage and briquettes. Sometimes when the coal is not enough, we have to buy firewood."
"In addition to these, there are also military coats, and you may have forgotten what your grandparents told you."
"In the past, many things were very expensive. Throughout the winter, I didn't dare to go out for anything."
Because once you go out, you need to wear thick clothes, but where did your family get so many thick clothes at that time?
Life is difficult, not just in words, it is really difficult.
The little one has a strong mental arithmetic ability and can calculate it quickly. In this way, the cost of living in the capital is indeed much more expensive than that on Hong Kong Island.
Just as he was still talking for many years, the phone in the living room rang.
Hot Wheels happened to be next to the phone and picked it up immediately.
The caller was Andy, not the classmate that Hot Wheels was yearning for.
The little guy has made a lot of friends since he went to school, and he goes out to play with his classmates every now and then.
Especially after playing football with several children from Huo Jiandong's family last time, both the little ones and the older brothers often made appointments to play with them.
However, it is only on weekends and other holidays. When they are in school, the little ones cannot go out to play.
After all, they need to learn, and daily boxing training is indispensable.
"Hey, Andy, it's me, what happened?"
After answering the phone for many years, Andy's excited voice came from the other side.
exploded!
A book like the modern translation of The Classic of Mountains and Seas has become such a hit, it’s incredible!
But it's not surprising, because this is an officially designated reference book, which is equivalent to the 'Xinhua Dictionary' for many people who are dedicated to writing novels.
Moreover, the translation of Shan Hai Jing is not simply a translation of classical Chinese into modern dialect, but an artistic process.
For example, the above will also compile the combat power rankings of the many strange beasts, mythical beasts, etc. in the Book of Mountains and Seas, as well as their respective force values and special abilities.
So for those who want to write novels, its reference function is simply excellent.
In addition to reference books, the Xianxia novels on the monthly ticket rankings have also experienced a wave of hot sales.
Even the two fairy tale novels ranked at the bottom have seen their monthly ticket sales soar a lot.
Of course, it is Mortal Cultivation of Immortality that is the most powerful one, and its title of champion is unshakable.
Otherwise, too many people like this novel.
Although the word count is very long, over 700 million, and it has been serialized for more than a year, it is still only in the Nascent Soul stage.
After entering the spiritual world, its more vast and magnificent world of immortals will be revealed.
As for the fairyland, it is still too far away.
"Well done, but you have to do your job well and investigate the potential of the market."
I have been happy for many years when I heard that sales have exploded.
It's not because of how much money I make, but because the novel's influence has increased.
The emergence of a platform can bring success to many people and give everyone more choices.
Competitors such as Ming Pao and Sing Tao Daily no longer know what to say.
What the hell are fairy tale novels about?
The bonus of HKD 500 million is very attractive.
After hanging up the phone for many years, I saw Xu Xiaoqian, whom I hadn't seen for several days, walking out of the room.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to continue practicing in seclusion?"
In recent days, Xu Xiaoqian has been trapped in her room, just wanting to write a good novel.
Qin Huairu also expressed concern, "Xiaoqian, are you not feeling well? You look so bad, have you encountered a bottleneck?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiaoqian couldn't bear it anymore.
"Fifth sister-in-law, I can't write it."
Although she couldn't write it, 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 fairy novels rely on imagination, and the writing must reach a certain level.
Otherwise, the novel will be impossible to read.
Originally, she was good at writing female videos, but she had a whim and insisted on trying fairy novels. Isn't this a joke?
Doesn’t she know that the competition among fairy tale novels will be fierce?
I know, but she just wants a challenge.
Qin Huairu hugged her and coaxed her like a child.
Xiaodoubao had returned to the living room, and when he saw this scene, he immediately smiled.
"Dad, please help me see if this opening chapter I wrote is okay?"
At this time, Bai Doufu came down from the second floor with two pages of manuscript in his hand and handed it to her father.
Did the little guy actually write it down?
After many years, he was still quite surprised. Even Qin Huairu and others looked over. Xu Xiaoqian couldn't care less about being sad and came closer to take a look.
Not to mention, Bai Tofu has put a lot of effort into it, and the opening chapter is still well written.
In many years, it seems that it barely meets the review standards.
It's just that she is a little kid, imitating the writing style of mortals and creating creations. The shadow of mortals is too deep.
If it were published, it would definitely be accused of plagiarism.
"My child." Niannian's expression was a little tangled as he considered his words.
But his expression made Bai Doufu tremble, and his originally expectant expression suddenly collapsed.
Although Bai Doufu is only over seven years old, the little guy is quite good at observing words and emotions.
"It's like this. Your writing style, writing structure, etc. are actually quite good, and they meet the publishing standards."
Qin Huairu immediately slapped her thigh and said:
"Isn't this very good? Then it can be published? Then who did you show that serious expression just now? Look how you scared the child?"
Bai Doufu looked at her father pitifully, stunned for a moment, and then said:
"I'm not trying to scare children. Although the three thousand words at the beginning are not many, they actually cannot escape the shadow of mortals. It will be very difficult to write."
This is not the most important thing. What is more important is that the subsequent book reviews will probably be very ugly.
It's a fanfic, but it doesn't feature the main character's plot. It starts with the plot of joining a cultivating sect, which is similar to that of a mortal.
Unless the opening chapter is attractive enough, the writing is fluent, and the plot is smooth, I wouldn't say it has passed the publication requirements for many years.
"Dad, is it okay as long as I modify it a little bit?"
Bai Doufu's big eyes suddenly flashed brightly.
If it can really be published, then this will be her happiest thing.
She is only seven years old and can publish a novel, which is great.
Xu Xiaoqian, who had read the manuscript next to her, suddenly sighed and said:
"Uncle Wu, I finally understand what you said before. Writing novels really requires talent. Bai Doufu is more talented than me, and the novels she writes are much better than mine."
This is normal, some people are just so unreasonable.
Let alone writing novels, some geniuses can invent and create at a very young age. This 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 do some people become famous at a young age, and why do more people live a life of mediocrity?
Bai Doufu was very happy after hearing this. She didn't care about her eldest sister, and now her mind was full of writing novels.
There is a typewriter at home. This thing is nothing new to the six children in the family.
Because there are three novel writers in the family, Bai Doufu and his six children are often watching, and they also play with the typewriter when Duan Nian, Xiaomei and others rest.
Last year, Bai Doufu had been thinking about writing a novel, so she took out her pocket money and asked her father to buy her a typewriter.
With her pocket money, it was actually not enough money for a typewriter.
But it doesn't matter. She feels that as long as she works hard, there will definitely be no problem.
"Dad, please teach me quickly and tell me how to write next?"
Immediately, she pestered her father and insisted on letting her father teach her.
Xiaodoubao and Xiaotuanzi were also listening. After a short while, they were called away by their grandpa.
The little one is not interested in this. He only likes mathematics and physics.
The two children, Brother Jing and Hot Wheels, just wanted to play.
The child loves writing novels so much, and he has had to teach her step by step for many years. He doesn't know how far she can achieve it.
But this feeling of guiding children to grow up slowly is still very satisfying.
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 Bombatini family of three moved into a house on the 38th floor of a [-]-story complex with four units on each floor.
On the second day after moving, Wendy invited Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e to visit her home.
From the moment they enter the community, both Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e need to register before they can enter the community.
Then he took the elevator to the thirteenth floor, and Qin Huairu discovered that this building actually had six elevators, which was really luxurious.
But after entering Bombatini's house, Qin Huairu was also surprised.
"Wow, your home is so spacious?"
Developers here on Hong Kong Island generally build very narrow houses.
However, this house built by Rolls-Royce is very different.
Not to mention that it is in the R&D center itself, and the safety and security is first-class.
There are four apartments on the first floor. The apartment of the Bombatini family is actually a large house with five bedrooms and 270 square meters.
If the apartment types are all of the same area, then the usable area of one floor will be more than [-] square meters.
Coupled with the spacious balcony and so on, this house is so worth it.
As long as Bombatini works here on Hong Kong Island for eight years, this house will become his own private property.
Therefore, if you resign after not working for enough years, the house will be repossessed.
In a large house of 270 square meters, the living room is naturally very spacious. No wonder Qin Huairu was so surprised.
Wendy herself was very happy and took 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 the villa was better.
"Then your husband has to work hard to make money."
Qin Huairu said with a smile.
Nowadays, the house prices of villas in Deep Water Bay have begun to rise. The villa at No. 72 was 120 million last year, but now it is 130 million at least.
The price of villas actually rises very quickly.
The reason for this is not because the economy on Hong Kong Island has begun to recover.
Not to mention other things, novel authors such as Zhou Jifa and Wang Quanhui can definitely afford luxury villas in Deep Water Bay, Repulse Bay and other places.
There are more and more wealthy people, and demand has increased, driving up housing prices. This is normal.
As an engineer, Bombatini's salary here on Hong Kong Island is 5000 yuan per month, which is equivalent to ten times that of an ordinary white-collar worker.
However, even so, it is not easy to buy a villa.
Wendy smiled and said:
"It's coming soon."
She did not reveal more because she had been told by Bombatini not to tell anyone.
In fact, Bombatini has completed the research and development of a new material and has now entered the testing stage.
Once there are no problems with the experiment, the next step is to apply for a patent and production.
After confirmation, Bombatini will be able to receive a reward of 50 pounds from Rolls-Royce.After receiving the reward, he can definitely afford a villa in Deep Water Bay, but it is hard 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, on the mountainside, or near Pok Fu Lam Road.
After Qin Huairu returned home, she told Duan Nian about this.
"Do you like living in high-rise buildings?"
Many years ago asked with a smile, she quickly shook her head, but Xiaodoubao and the others expressed that they liked it.
After Qin Huairu pointed it out, "You are just trying to feel fresh. If you really live in a high-rise building, you will definitely regret it later."
"I don't regret it. The high-rise building is great and you can enjoy the scenery."
"Isn't it easy to see the scenery? Just move to No. 43 Barker Road when the time comes."
The family started talking about this topic.
Bai Doufu did not participate. She was typing in her room.
This child is very interesting. After hearing her father's idea last time, she recorded it and started writing.
The opening chapter I wrote before has been abandoned.
She trusts her father's judgment, and she also wants to escape the mortal shadow.
Of course, the most important thing is that her father helped her come up with the beginning, and then her father also prepared the outline.
However, unlike her sister-in-law and eldest sister, the little guy had his own ideas and participated in the writing of the outline.
No, it took more than half a month to refine the outline.
After determining the outline of the 150 million-word novel, Bai Doufu began writing.
She planned to write [-] words herself and then give it to her father to review.
Although she only has four hours in the evening to write novels every day, she still works hard.
"Dad, why does it take so long to decorate?"
Brother Jing was complaining about the house in Baijiadao because he couldn't wait any longer.
"Because it's a five-story building, it will definitely take a lot of time to decorate. And after the decoration is completed, it's impossible to move in immediately. It has to be left for a while."
Many years said patiently, and the little guy mumbled and stopped holding on.
Children definitely don’t have much patience.
However, the decoration materials of this era are said to be free of formaldehyde, but who believes it?
Anyway, their family has no shortage of houses, so there is no need to rush to move in.
It is estimated that the decoration will be completed in January, and by then the house will be aired out, and it will be almost ready to move in.
After arriving in Hong Kong Island, time flies very quickly.
If you are still in the capital, time will pass slowly.
Without him, there are a lot of things going on in the capital, but on Hong Kong Island, everything goes smoothly, there are no worries in life, and time certainly flies by.
On the day before New Year's Day, I went to No. 43 Barker Road for many years to see the renovation progress.
It's already in the finishing stages, but not much faster.
For many years, the requirement is not speed, but quality, so it doesn't matter.
Standing on the top of the fifth floor and looking out at Victoria Harbor is really refreshing.
This location is simply amazing.
Others need to go to the observation deck on the top of the mountain to enjoy these scenery, but for many years they don't need to, they just need to go to the roof of their own building.
And you can see it every day, if you have been living here.
But I guess not. After all, compared to the villa on Barker Road, the Deep Water Bay side is bigger, has a better view, and is close to St. Paul's Primary School.
There is no place with the freshest air than the farms over Tuen Mun.
Even at this time, there are many chickens, ducks and geese on the farm and it is very lively.
After coming out of Barker Road, I returned to Deep Water Bay many years ago, picked up Xiao Doubao and the others, and then the family went to Tuen Mun Farm.
After arriving at the farm, the little kids went straight to the valley where the mushroom shelves were.
"Wow, there are so many mushrooms. They are much more beautiful than last time."
"Grandpa Master, come here quickly. Can we eat mushrooms tonight?"
"Sister-in-law, take a photo for me quickly. Look at the beautiful mushrooms here."
A long way away, before reaching the creek, the children were already shouting.
Yesterday, the security guard at the farm notified us that the mushrooms at the farm had grown much older.
So today after the children get out of school, I have brought them here for many years.
Originally, Bai Doufu didn't want to come because she wanted to write a novel, but she was ruthlessly rejected.
She is still too young to be able to concentrate on writing and creating.
As a result, after she got into the car, she stayed in the back seat, minding her own writing, and stopped chatting with everyone.
After arriving at the farm, she had to put down her paper and pen and get involved in picking mushrooms.
The mushroom shelves are neatly arranged, and the criss-crossing trees are covered with mushrooms, which look very beautiful. This is the joy of a good harvest.
"Dad, are these shiitake mushrooms as delicious as summer solstice mushrooms?"
After taking the photo, Xiaodian suddenly asked while helping to pick mushrooms.
When the summer solstice mushrooms were still in summer, the security guard at the farm called and picked them several times.
Summer solstice mushrooms freshly picked from the fields are also very sweet and delicious when stewed with chicken or simply stir-fried.
It is precisely because she has tasted the ultimate deliciousness of summer solstice mushrooms that the little one still remembers them and never forgets them.
After hearing the little one's words, Xiaodoubao and the other children also looked at their father.
Obviously, they are also greedy.
"Of course, these mushrooms are also delicious."
For many years, although the summer solstice mushroom is a delicious food, it can only appear briefly during summer and disappear quickly.
Moreover, as a special wild fungus ingredient, summer solstice mushrooms cannot be grown at all and only grow once a year.
So it's extremely rare.
In comparison, shiitake mushrooms are different. They can be grown and are indeed very sweet.
Of course, if it is that kind of large-scale planting, unlike many years, if it is grown using branches such as maple trees, the taste of shiitake mushrooms will be much worse.
The fragrance concentration of wild shiitake mushrooms is very, very high, and the taste is also very sweet.
The reason why these mushroom shelves have been placed beside the streams in the valley and under the shade of trees for many years is to imitate the growth environment of wild mushrooms.
It's just that this planting method is indeed different and can make the yield of shiitake mushrooms more stable.
But it is still very different from indoor mushroom cultivation.
Shiitake mushrooms grown outdoors are greatly affected by natural conditions. When the weather is cold, the growth rate of shiitake mushrooms will be very, very slow.
When the weather gets warmer, shiitake mushrooms grow faster and produce more.
At the same time, during this process, you need to water regularly every day, otherwise there will be no mushrooms.
In other words, the security guards and their families have been hired for many years to manage the farm. Otherwise, the farm would have been abandoned long ago. Even if there are mushrooms, the output will be worrying.
"Then let's eat chicken stew with mushrooms tonight."
Brother Jing shouted, and everyone immediately agreed.
Xiaomei was also very happy and sighed:
"Brother, life here on Hong Kong Island is really great. How could there be so many activities in the capital before?"
Her emotion was unanimously approved by everyone, especially Xu Xiaoqian, who started counting on her fingers.
There are indeed many activities on Hong Kong Island, and they are basically unrestricted. As long as you have money, you can live a very comfortable life.
It was her fifth uncle who taught her how to write and made her a lot of money.
"Isn't it better in the capital?"
I asked this question in a funny way for many years, but was unanimously opposed by everyone, especially Xiaodoubao and the other children.
"Dad, it's not fun over there in Beijing, and we can't go to other countries or fly by plane."
Good guy, these kids seem to really like life here on Hong Kong Island.
After many years at this time, my mood suddenly became sad.
It's a sudden emotion that comes very quickly.
People say that you can only be rich for three generations, and this is not unreasonable.
Today's little ones all have a hedonistic mindset, which has caused them to worry for many years.
What will the future hold for the next generation of children?
The emotion came and went quickly.
As someone who aspires to live to be over a hundred years old, I have felt for many years that my worries were unreasonable.
There is also a saying that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and living a good life now is better than anything else.
The mushrooms were picked quickly, and the family returned to the mountaintop villa to prepare dinner.
Unlike in Deep Water Bay, after coming to the farm, most of the work needs to be done by yourself.
Even the bean buns and the others have to help select and wash the vegetables, which is unavoidable housework.
Soon, the whole family started cooking together, and the rich aroma of the mushrooms spread.
The little kids all held bowls and chopsticks, a little impatient.
Even Bai Tofu felt very hungry. He had no idea of writing a novel in his head and only thought about eating.
In a cheerful atmosphere, dinner officially began.
But after everyone tasted the shiitake mushrooms, the summer solstice mushrooms were the most delicious.
Because summer solstice mushrooms can only be eaten once or twice a year, shiitake mushrooms can be eaten frequently, and the taste of summer solstice mushrooms is indeed more fresh and sweet.
Come on, it's New Year's Day in [-].
After spending New Year's Day on the farm, the family returned to Deep Water Bay. Those who needed to go to school continued to go to school, and those who needed to go to work went to work.
I got the call many years ago and went straight to the R&D center on Pok Fu Lam Road.
"Blake, was the experiment really successful?"
After walking into the R&D center, I couldn't wait to ask.
Since the acquisition of Rolls-Royce, a lot of money has been poured into it over the years. Most of the US dollars, pounds and other cash in the space have been poured into this project.
What he needs is three-rotor aeroengine technology.
Last year, Blake, the head of the R&D department of the R&D center, reported the good news to many years that this technology had been broken.
Rewards and vacations followed, and Blake completed the task within eight months in accordance with the prescribed time.
In this regard, it has fulfilled its promise for many years and actually rewarded these people with 500 million pounds.
It's a pity that they still failed to get 1000 million pounds. However, many years later, they said that if they completed the wind tunnel test within the deadline, they would continue to be awarded 500 million pounds.
This immediately greatly aroused the enthusiasm of these people for their work.
In particular, Bombatini, a materials engineer, successfully developed the latest engine materials in less than a year after joining Rolls-Royce.
Received a reward of 50 pounds from the company.
This is an individual award and is not included in the £500 million group award.
In this way, you will become rich overnight!
Therefore, these thousands of people in the R&D center are bound to become the next Bombatini as they continue to work hard.
They say the power of role models is powerful, and it’s true!
"Yes, BOSS, we have completed a thousand hours of testing yesterday, and after a night and morning inspection, all the current engine data are very normal."
Blake said excitedly, "Now we can set up the factory production line and start mass production."
Mass production means delivery to the corresponding airlines.
In the past, the engines produced by Rolls-Royce were either collaborative projects with others or customized engines.
Now, Rolls-Royce is preparing to produce its own commercial aircraft.
However, because it is extremely difficult to develop commercial passenger aircraft, only engines have been developed so far.
Therefore, the engines produced can only be sold to others.
Many years ago, I told Alexander, the person in charge of Hong Kong Island, that he already had a way to order ten aero engines.
Blake naturally knew about this, and even the entire engine research and development department knew about it.
After all, this is one of the things that motivates them to move forward.
"Okay, let's start production!"
Many Years smiled and nodded, then said:
"Can these two engines in the laboratory be used normally?"
Engines equipped with the most advanced technology have naturally been extremely coveted for many years.
However, Rolls-Royce's current complete machine research and development technology, assembly technology, etc. are still very average, and he is still a little worried.
Although starting from the year before last, a large amount of money has been invested in recruiting troops for many years.
But the manufacturing process of the entire aircraft is not that simple.
Besides, if it is equipped with a new engine, the requirements for other aspects of the cabin will also be somewhat different.
Just a riveting technique can stump many people.
You must know that the workers who can work in aircraft assembly factories are all highly educated people.
But the reality is that there are not many literate people on Hong Kong Island, let alone outstanding talents in science and engineering.
For many years, it can only target European and American countries. Only these countries can meet the development needs of Rolls-Royce.
"Okay, BOSS, there's no problem at all."
Blake said emphatically, nodding for many years that there was no problem, and asked them to test it again, and then package it, and he wanted it.
In this regard, Blake and others were not sad, but rather happy.
Immediately, I heard Duan Nian wave his big hand and say:
"The reward of 500 million pounds will arrive in your bank account tomorrow. Next, I will give you a half-month holiday, including beach beauties, sports cars and red wine."
"The end of this month is the Spring Festival here on Hong Kong Island. You can just come back before the Spring Festival."
After hearing this, everyone was quiet for a few seconds, and then burst into enthusiastic cheers, whistles and applause.
The excitement here penetrates the houses and high-rise buildings and spreads to Pok Fu Lam Road.
The entire R&D center is very large, but since Pok Fu Lam Road passes through the middle, there are mountains on one side and the flat land of the R&D center on the other.
The location of the R&D center was originally a pasture developed by the dairy company to raise dairy cows.
The huge grassland has now been developed into many high-rise buildings, some of which are office buildings, some of which are researchers' residences, some of which are auditoriums, as well as factory production workshops, wind tunnel laboratories, etc.
It occupies almost the entire Pok Fu Lam Road, a narrow strip of flat land near the sea.
After the cheers, I stood in front of the French window for many years, looking at the sea in the distance, and suddenly said:
"Alexander, we can reclaim land from the sea, right?"
Faced with the sudden question from the big boss, Alexander, who had already done his homework, quickly said:
"Yes, we have surveyed the seabed in this area. The entire continental plate on the seafloor of Hong Kong Island extends outward and is about 120 meters wide."
However, extending to about 100 meters, the depth of the seabed has reached 80 meters.
If you want to fill such a deep sea area, you will definitely need a lot of materials.
This investment is not worth it!
The best thing is to extend it 30 meters. This is a plan considered from the perspective of return on investment.
After pondering for a long time for many years, he said:
"Okay, I understand. You don't have to worry about this. I'll find someone else to take over the land reclamation project."
Of course he would not agree with Alexander's proposal.
Nearby is Lamma Island, opposite is Zhougong Island, and the sea is 80 meters deep, so what?
For the development of Hong Kong Island, it would not be easy to fill in these sea areas.
If Victoria Harbor wasn't so famous, I would have thought about filling it in for many years.
After all, the depth of water in Victoria Harbor is only about 20 to 40 meters.
However, the entire Victoria Harbor covers an area of 41 square kilometers, which is definitely not a small place.
Of course, it is difficult to fill in Victoria Harbor, but the sea area near Pok Fu Lam Road can be filled in completely.
You must know that on Pok Fu Lam Road, there are the University of Hong Kong, Queen Mary Hospital, Pok Fu Lam Village, reservoirs, etc.
There is no way to ask others to relocate these things. If the R&D center wants to continue to expand, it can only reclaim land from the sea.
"Good boss."
Alexander immediately said respectfully, but there was a murmur in his heart: Does the boss have other ideas?
He also looked out at the sea. The dark water was frightening.
How much stone, sand and other materials are needed to fill this sea area?
It’s unimaginable! (End of chapter)
