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

Chapter 440 Tank Modification
Then, he clicked on the information about the exhaust pipe. It showed that as long as the tank was running, the exhaust pressure was high enough to prevent water from entering even in deep water. Moreover, there was a self-alarm system and a security system as a guarantee.

Lin Chen was finally satisfied, and the modification plan gradually became clear in his mind. After everything was ready, he began to work. The parts of one of the tanks occupied most of the floor space of the factory.

If the factory surveillance video can be replayed at double speed, you can clearly see Lin Chen busy like a little spinning top, moving around and installing parts. From time to time, he would stand up and stretch his arms and legs, doing some simple stretching exercises to avoid fatigue and muscle damage caused by bending over for a long time.

Soon, the modification of one tank was completed, and then he started to modify the next one. Time passed by bit by bit, and when Lin Chen gradually felt that he could not see clearly, he found that the light had dimmed.

He snapped his fingers, and the smart lights immediately lit up, illuminating every corner of the factory. There were still three tanks left to be modified. Lin Chen looked at the open space and simply sat down. He took out his phone and checked the time. It was already past six o'clock.

So, he was going to call Fang Lan and ask her out for dinner that evening. As for the tank modification, let's wait until tomorrow. He checked his phone and found eight missed calls and two messages.

He opened the message and saw that one was a service message from the telephone information service company, and the other was from Fang Lan asking him to call her back when he had time. Lin Chen tapped the dial button and the familiar ringtone rang. He took a look at the factory and left the factory while waiting for the person on the other end to answer the phone.

The smart light gradually dimmed, and the factory became blurry again. Lin Chen closed the factory door, and all this was done in just a few seconds. At this time, Fang Lan finally answered the phone.

Lin Chen had already taken out the car keys and was ready to get in the car: "I've just finished my work here," he said.

"What shall we have for dinner?" Fang Lan asked.

"Why don't we call Deji to join us? How about hotpot?" Lin Chen suggested.

After some discussion, Lin Chen, Fang Lan and Deji decided to have dinner at a mutton hotpot restaurant not far from Zui Weng Zhi Yi Building 3. Fang Lan and Deji went there first, and there was no need for Lin Chen to pick them up. They could just go there when he arrived.

When Lin Chen walked into the hot pot restaurant, he saw Fang Lan and Deji talking in a cubicle. Fang Lan looked up and saw Lin Chen, and immediately smiled brightly, stretched out her arms and waved him over. Deji also saw Lin Chen in the direction of Fang Lan's wave, and waved along with him.

Looking from Lin Chen's direction, Fang Lan and Deji were as lively as two festive lucky cats in the steaming hot pot restaurant. Influenced by the cheerful mood of these two people, Lin Chen also felt that his mood inexplicably improved.

After he sat down, he also laughed and said, "What makes you two so happy today?"

Fang Lan hurriedly asked, "Did you see all that?"

"Of course I can see something so obvious." Lin Chen replied with a smile. He took the water handed over by the waiter.

At this time, the hot pot was brought over. It was not the traditional old Beijing copper pot that used charcoal, but a mandarin duck pot that had been placed on the electric heating plate. Not long after it was placed on the plate, the red oil side was already boiling, while the clear soup side was lukewarm.

This scene was like a sharp contrast between Fang Lan and Deji, who were chatting animatedly, and Lin Chen, who was sitting alone opposite. Fang Lan had just finished a conversation with Deji, so she quickly stood up and walked around the table to sit next to Lin Chen.

"That's right." Fang Lan said with a smile, while Deji shook his head in a helpless manner.

Everyone's favorite meat and vegetables were put into the pot one after another. The pot cooked very quickly, and they could start eating while they were talking. Lin Chen took the drink on his side and opened it, then handed it to Fang Lan. Fang Lan smiled and politely said thank you.

Deji said, "Ouch!", "I can't help it. I knew that if I eat with you two, I'll be treated to a lot of love, but I still came."

Fang Lan pointed to a can of drink next to Deji and said, "Ms. Deji, do you need any help?" This made Deji even more complaining. She said to Fang Lan, "You are really good."

Then her eyes fell on Lin Chen. She picked up the drink in her hand, stretched it forward and said, "Boss Lin, to be honest, I'm very excited today, but I still have to thank you for your investment!"

After saying that, she turned to Fang Lan and said, "And your script. It is all these factors added together that have led to today's results." Lin Chen also picked up the wine glass. Although he didn't quite understand why he was suddenly so excited today, he was also infected by the joy.

"You are so polite. You have said this before. We are just cooperating. There is no need to be so serious." Deji shook his head firmly, his eyes full of gratitude. "It is different. Without you, things would never have developed to this point today. I am really grateful. I know that my turning point will come soon."

Deji's past experience had once brought her to a low point, but now, the situation is indeed slowly getting better. However, Lin Chen felt that such a change today was a bit sudden.

Fang Lan saw this and explained, "You may not know yet, but Jiangbei TV has already signed the contract and the initial payment has been received. Once the show is aired, the balance will also be in place."

"Wow!" Lin Chen smiled when he heard that, "That's great, this is considered to be tangible benefits and returns. Congratulations to both of you!" As he said that, he raised his glass and clinked it with Deji and Fang Lan.

Lin Chen was so excited that he could not hide it. It was not only because he made money and received payment, but also because he witnessed how hard the two people in front of him worked and finally reaped the rewards. In theory, Lin Chen was responsible for the investment, and all the copyright sales and other projects in the future should belong to him. But he did not care much about these and left it to Fang Lan to handle.

In this way, Fang Lan and Deji began to study and sold the first broadcast rights of the TV. I believe that there will be more copyright fees coming in. Deji sighed deeply, and the excitement in her heart was hard to express. She looked at Lin Chen and slowly said: "Although the initial income must be given to the sponsor, that is, you, Lin Chen, this feeling still makes us feel very rewarding, and there will be more rewards in the future." "As soon as the copyright fee comes out this time, I have basically recovered my investment. You should still have some left! The rest will be pure profit." Deji continued. The cost of satellite TV broadcasting is calculated on a per episode basis. Since Lin Chen has said that he will not care about these and give it to Fang Lan, then she will decide.

At this time, Fang Lan stood up and bent over to reach across the table to get her bag. Seeing this, Deji hurried to help her. After Fang Lan got the bag, she opened it directly, took out a stack of contracts from it, and handed it to Lin Chen with a face full of joy.

"It's time to share this joy." Fang Lan said with a smile. Lin Chen took the contract and opened the cover under the gaze of Deji and Fang Lan. It was the contract between this play and Jiangbei TV. He flipped through a few pages and found that the total cost had indeed paid back his investment. The upfront payment this time was only a part of it. I believe it will be a matter of time before the full payment is received.

Lin Chen closed the contract, handed it to Fang Lan, then raised his glass and said, "Everything is moving in a better direction. Cheers to a better life!" The three of them enjoyed the meal very much.

After the meal, Deji left early because of his busy business, leaving Fang Lan and Lin Chen to return to the third building of Zui Wengzhiyi. As soon as they arrived there, Fang Lan became serious. She looked at Lin Chen and asked, "I want to ask you a question, and I hope you can answer me seriously."

Seeing this, Lin Chen also put away his smile and said, "What's so formal about the question?"

"Deji knows that I'm writing a new script, and she intends to continue working with us. What do you think?" Fang Lan asked.

Lin Chen barely hesitated and blurted out, "I'm still in charge of the investment. As for whether you want to continue cooperating with her, it's up to you."

Fang Lan hesitated for a while, sighed and said, "I need to think about it again. If there are other suitable directors, I will also pay attention to them."

Lin Chen didn't know what to say about this matter. After all, it was Fang Lan's own choice, and it seemed that she had already made up her mind.

The next day, Lin Chen only spent the morning to repair the remaining three tanks. After checking carefully and confirming that everything was correct, he called Li Xue and asked her to send someone to pick up the tanks.

However, he didn't expect Li Xue on the phone to tell him that she decided not to answer the call for the time being. She didn't tell him the specific reason, so Lin Chen naturally didn't ask about it.

Two days later, Lin Chen received a call from Li Xue. "Boss Lin, I'm sorry, I haven't been able to pick up the tank for a few days, and it has been occupying your site." Li Xue said on the phone.

"Don't be so polite. There's no need to put anything else on the site." Lin Chen replied. Usually, the things the military needs are delivered or taken away very promptly. This time the situation is indeed different from the past, which also made Lin Chen pay special attention.

He thought Li Xue was calling to send someone to pick up the tanks, so he was about to drive to the factory first. But he heard Li Xue say on the phone: "Boss Lin, it's like this, we still have 20 tanks that need to be modified."

Lin Chen was stunned by this. He was about to open the car door but paused for a moment before he opened the door and sat in the driver's seat. "Okay, no problem, but as you can see, the space here is limited." Lin Chen said.

Li Xue laughed brightly on the phone: "When we send the tanks over this time, just take the repaired ones."

"That's totally fine, that's exactly what I meant." Lin Chen said as he started the car, and the destination was exactly his factory.

"It will be hard for you this time, as you have to modify so many cars at once." Li Xue said.

"Didn't I say last time that there would be modifications one after another? So it's nothing!" Lin Chen replied.

"It's still different. The original progress would not be so fast. This time it's all because we are about to have a high seas exercise with the United States and the Bear Country." Li Xue explained. Perhaps because of the increased contact, she also revealed more information when talking to Lin Chen. In her words, there was a sense of national pride, as well as a sense of seriousness and caution towards the upcoming exercise.

Lin Chen then realized that there was going to be another joint military exercise. Out of his own cautiousness and positive work attitude, he asked, "If this is the case, do we have any other requirements for the modification?"

For this high seas exercise, the equipment modification naturally needs to be more excellent. "I don't have any special ideas about this. If Boss Lin has any better modification plan, you can also say that I will report it to my superiors." Li Xue replied.

Lin Chen realized that Li Xue was different from the other liaison officers who were responsible for the handover. She was mainly doing clerical work and did not seem to have many opinions and suggestions on the equipment modification. So he immediately replied: "Then please talk to the leader and I can let this tank go to deeper waters."

"Okay, I will report in time and give you a reply as soon as there is a result." Li Xue said. Before Lin Chen could tell the details and parameters, Li Xue had already answered like this because she really didn't know much about the situation.

Later, Lin Chen added: "I will send you the parameters and quotation of the modifications so that I can report better." Perhaps because what Lin Chen proposed was exactly what Li Xue had not expected, Li Xue's cheeks suddenly blushed on the other end of the phone. She was glad that Lin Chen couldn't see it at this time.

In order to ease the embarrassment, she deliberately raised her voice and said, "Haha, fortunately Boss Lin is thoughtful." But in her heart, she was thinking that she was always very careful in her work, so why was she not thoughtful at this time? Maybe it was because she automatically thought of Lin Chen's powerful appearance, so she felt that there was no need for any detailed parameters. But no matter what, these were some mistakes in her work.

Just as Li Xue said, tanks were delivered to the factory one after another.
