Thirty Entrepreneurship: Recycling of second-hand aircraft carriers at the beginning

Chapter 438 Quick Transition

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Lin Xuejun explained the purpose of his call: "The last mission was completed very well, and coupled with some recent consumption, our ammunition is running low. So I called you specifically to place an order."

"So that's how it is!" Lin Chen agreed readily, "It's very simple, you just need to tell me the quantity you need. Don't worry about the price, I will definitely give you a reasonable quote."

After the two discussed a few more details, they finalized the next ammunition order.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen found that he had unknowingly walked to the foot of the city wall, and he would hit the wall if he took a few more steps forward.

He stopped in time and turned around to go back.

At this time, he found that Fang Lan and the others had already moved to another place. He looked around but did not see them.

"Why is the change so fast this time?" He was a little confused.

He stood there in a daze for a while, and a few people were chatting next to him. Suddenly, one of them turned around and asked Lin Chen: "Hey, are you also an actor in "Dharma Romance"? "

Lin Chen looked at the group of people who seemed to be unfamiliar with each other and shook his head and said, "No."

He was still wondering how he suddenly found himself standing among this crowd.

After seeing Lin Chen shaking his head, the person asking the question stopped asking and continued chatting with the people around him.

When Lin Chen was about to leave, he heard the man say, "Be careful when signing contracts with these crews."

Although he did not specify which crew it was, he did not mention "Fate of Life" either. Lin Chen felt that it would be beneficial to listen to what these actors said in this industry, so he stopped and acted as a listener.

The man didn't seem to mind the new listener Lin Chen and continued chatting with the people around him. The young actress began to complain: "My agent and I didn't know anything before, and I found out that I didn't finish work until 2 a.m. every night."

"Don't other people take pictures?" someone asked curiously.

"Their scenes have all ended, but mine hasn't been finished yet," the actress said helplessly.

Lin Chen also frowned when he heard this. He often stayed in the crew, but he had never noticed the situation like what the actress described. So he became more curious and wanted to listen to see what was going on.

The actress then told the people around her, "I still have to be careful when signing contracts in the future because the shooting hours are not mentioned in my contract."

"Do I need to write a contract for this?" A newbie in the industry heard what the actress said and hurried over to learn from her.

The actress said seriously, "Of course I didn't know that I was working when others were resting."

Another actor urged, "What should we do then?" Everyone gathered around to hear the actress's advice.

"Hey, listen to me, I took a lot of detours later, I have to tell you one by one." As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, more and more people gathered around. He noticed that these people were actors waiting here for auditions.

This crew is really unique. They actually held the audition directly in Tang City. The waiting time was long, and some actors began to chat. At this time, an actress continued to tell everyone about her experience.

"Later, I specifically asked and found out that the working hours must be clearly stated when signing the contract. Guess what?" She deliberately kept it a secret.

"What's going on?" someone asked curiously.

"Is it because he didn't let you sign the contract according to the rules? Is it an unfair contract?" another person speculated.

The actress shook her head and smiled, "No, for that drama I was working on, my contract stated the hours, but I didn't notice the rest time."

Even Lin Chen couldn't help but interrupt: "Is there any problem with this? You can go and rest after the work hours are over."

The actress smirked, "I thought so too. But the truth is, after your work hours are over, there is no clear break time, so the next work hour could start at any time."

Now the actress talked about this as if she was telling a joke. But Lin Chen felt a little sad when he heard it.

He left the group of people chatting and did not call Fang Lan immediately, fearing that she was busy at the moment. Lin Chen walked from the square aisle in front to the city gate and saw the crew of "Life and Destiny" who were filming.

When he walked over, Fang Lan was not busy. She was just standing next to a machine, looking down at her phone. Seeing Lin Chen coming over, she greeted him, "I saw you were on the phone just now, so I didn't call you."

"It's okay. It's the same if I come to find you." Lin Chen responded.

Fang Lan looked down at the document on her phone again. She didn't have her computer with her at the moment, so some things needed to be checked and modified on her phone. After she finished everything, she found Lin Chen still standing there, looking like he wanted to discuss something.

Seeing that she had finished her work, Lin Chen asked, "When we sign a contract with the actors, will it also specify the working hours and rest time?"

"Some actors can, and some can't." Fang Lan answered calmly.

"Why?" Lin Chen was puzzled.

"These were all proposed by the actors themselves, and everyone's working hours are different," Fang Lan explained.

After listening to this, Lin Chen felt that there seemed to be some logical problems, but the reasons given by Fang Lan seemed to be self-consistent. Noticing Lin Chen's hesitation, Fang Lan asked quickly: "Have you found any problems?"

Lin Chen usually didn't ask about things happening on the crew, but this time he directly mentioned issues related to the contract. Fang Lan's intuition told her that there must be something fishy going on.

Lin Chen finally said: "I just heard people chatting about signing contracts and some issues about the market. If someone doesn't know about this and hasn't signed it, do we have an obligation to remind them?"

After hearing what Lin Chen said, Fang Lan tilted her head and looked away, as if thinking about the question he had just raised. After a while, she turned her head and said seriously, "It seems that there is no such obligation, right?"

Then, she added: "This is a matter of personal will. If the crew does this, it must have its own reasons."

Lin Chen changed his expression, looked at Fang Lan with a hint of ridicule, and soon laughed again. This made Fang Lan feel that Lin Chen's mood changes were a bit strange.

Lin Chen raised his hand and tapped Fang Lan's forehead with his index finger, and said with a smile: "Look at you, you look like an exploiter."

"No way, what I'm talking about are very common and normal things." Fang Lan said angrily.

……

In the office of Linhai Military Region, Fang Weihai was looking down at the documents when there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Come in." Fang Weihai responded and raised his head to look at the door.

Li Xue saluted with a smile and walked into the office: "Leader." Fang Weihai smiled and pointed to the seat not far away: "Xiao Li, you are really fast. It only took you half an hour to call me and you are here."

"I thought there would be a traffic jam on the road, but it was so smooth, so I arrived early." Li Xue explained. She was the liaison officer of the Northern Theater Command and had called Fang Weihai in advance.

Fang Weihai called the guard and ordered, "Pour a glass of water."

Then he asked Li Xue: "Tea or water?"

"I'm fine with it. No need to go through so much trouble." Li Xue replied.

"Then try the new tea I bought. It tastes pretty good." Fang Weihai said as he lowered his head and continued to look at the documents in his hand.

The guard had already gone to prepare the tea. Fang Weihai looked up from time to time and said to Li Xue: "I know you girls prefer to drink plain water. But this time, try the new tea I bought first."

After hearing this, Li Xue laughed cheerfully and said, "Then I really have to try it carefully. Although I don't know much about tea, I can taste its flavor."

This made Fang Weihai feel even more amused, and he started laughing too.

The two were silent for a while, and Fang Weihai quickly said to Li Xue: "Don't worry, I'm just going to finish reading the last bit first. After you have some more tea, we'll set off."

"Okay, no rush." ​​Li Xue responded.

The main reason she came this time was to find Lin Chen.

Last time, because of the phantom incident, she had some exchanges and communication with Lin Chen. She also had contact information, but after all, she came to Linhai, so she had to come and see Fang Weihai first.

What's more, he and Lin Chen are not yet completely familiar with each other. At least Fang Weihai needs to introduce them a few more times before they can become familiar with each other.

Lin Chen was different from some other people in military-industrial enterprises or businessmen she knew.

Lin Chen was just waiting for the military to come to him. He never thought about actively building relationships with the military or saying that he had developed something. Perhaps this is what a truly capable person would do.

When Li Xue thought about discussing things with Lin Chen, she couldn't help but think more. At this time, the guard had already brought the poured tea over: "Sorry to have kept you waiting!" He smiled shyly.

Li Xue was very calm and easygoing. Although she was young, she had worked in the military for many years and was already a captain. She had her own aura. "It's okay, thank you. Go ahead and do your work." She smiled and said to the guard.

The guard nodded, glanced in Fang Weihai's direction, and knowing that there were no other instructions or arrangements, he turned and left.

Fang Weihai finished reading the last bit of the document, picked up the pen and signed it, then put it aside, stood up from his desk, and picked up his teacup. Li Xue quickly sat up straight, waiting for Fang Weihai to come over to discuss the next arrangements.

Fang Weihai walked around the table and sat face to face with Li Xue, placing his cup on the table in front of him. "How's the tea?" he asked like an elder.

Li Xue smiled and said, "It smells good."

Fang Weihai was also very happy to hear Li Xue say this.

Even though he knew that Li Xue didn't understand tea and couldn't taste tea and explain its flavor, the words "very fragrant" made him feel very happy.

"I have called Boss Lin, but I didn't make a specific appointment with him. Have you brought all the tanks here?" Fang Weihai asked. Li Xue called him before to find out about Lin Chen's tank modification.

Li Xue responded: "If possible, we can set off now. Communicating with him earlier can also complete the task earlier."

“I just don’t know if the chief has time. We can just make arrangements when the chief has time suitable for us,” she added.

Fang Weihai nodded and said with a smile, "There is time, plenty of time." As he said that, he stood up, and Li Xue naturally stood up with him.

Fang Weihai raised his hand and gestured slightly towards the door: "Let's go."

……

In the Qin Palace in Linhai Ancient City, Lin Chen found a cool place by the wall and sat down. The crew had just filmed a large-scale fight scene, which took nearly a whole morning. Lin Chen felt bored, so he took out the aircraft carrier manual he brought with him and started reading it.

At this time, Fang Weihai called. Lin Chen took a look at the number and quickly picked up the phone: "Boss Lin, do you have time? We are going to your place right now." Fang Weihai's voice came over.

"Yes." Lin Chen answered concisely.

"Li Xue came with a tank. We will have them transport it directly to the factory. Let's meet at the factory." Fang Weihai said.

Lin Chen had already stood up from the red plastic stool he was sitting on: "Okay, I'll be right over there too."

After that, he hung up the phone and put the aircraft carrier's manual into his pocket.

After he stood up, the sunlight shone on him a little. As the sun moved, the shadow of the corner where he was was getting smaller and smaller.

Lin Chen squinted his eyes, adjusted to the light, and then walked towards the factory with big strides.

Lin Chen looked up and looked around, but he couldn't find Fang Lan in his sight. In desperation, he had to call Fang Lan.

The phone rang for a long time, so long that Lin Chen almost thought it was going to be hung up automatically, before the other end finally picked up.

"Hey, wait a moment." Fang Lan's voice came, with a little hurry.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Chen heard a noisy sound in his ears, as if Fang Lan was passing through somewhere, and the signal there was obviously not very good, causing considerable interference to the call.

Only when the harsh noise finally disappeared and the surroundings returned to silence did Lin Chen put the phone close to his ear.

"I was helping inside just now. Now we have arrived at the Sihai Guiyi Hall. People outside are gradually gathering here. Do you want to come over?" Fang Lan's voice sounded again. Perhaps because of her previous busyness, her speech speed seemed a little hurried, and her mood was obviously affected.

"I'm going to be away for a while, so you don't have to wait for me for lunch." Lin Chen replied.

"Oh, okay." Fang Lan responded.

At this moment, a loud shout from the staff nearby came from the other end of the phone.

Fang Lan quickly responded with an "Hey".
