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

Chapter 450 Aircraft Carrier Stopped at Sea

"Go and carry out your mission quickly."

Lin Xuejun on the opposite side did not stop, and the ship quickly sailed to other places.

When Horf saw the Chinese ships arriving, his heart was filled with hope, knowing that real rescue had arrived.

However, when he saw that only Lin Chen was on board and the other ships had completely left, he couldn't help but feel worried again.

His face was full of disbelief, and there was even a hint of disappointment in his heart. He almost used Lin Chen as a punching bag and said some unpleasant words to him.

"Boss Lin." Holf couldn't help but look in the direction of the departing ship.

Lin Chen said: "Horff, take me over to have a look. We need to hurry up and get this aircraft carrier sailing as soon as possible!"

Before Lin Chen arrived, the engine had been running again, making it easier for him to see where the problem lay.

Horf and everyone else on the boat didn't understand why Lin Chen wanted to go alone.

It wasn't until Lin Chen discovered the problem and started taking out tools to repair it that the people behind him were shocked.

"This..." Horf stood behind Lin Chen and looked at him in amazement.

From the moment Lin Chen took out the tools and started working, everyone else was equally shocked. They never expected that Lin Chen had such superb repair skills.

When the technicians on the ship witnessed Lin Chen's skillful operation, they already knew in their hearts that Lin Chen was indeed an expert.

In the end, Lin Chen was the only one left on the huge aircraft carrier.

The captain and other crew members left, but the topic of Lin Chen was still a hot topic among them.

"Could it be that our boss used to be a senior engineer of an aircraft carrier?" someone speculated.

"No wonder he was the only one who came here, it turns out he was confident." Another person agreed.

"Did you notice the ship that sent him here? That is a joint fleet composed of China's cruisers, frigates and transport ships!" one person exclaimed.

There was indeed some minor problems with the aircraft carrier purchased by Lin Chen.

These minor problems can probably only be noticed by those who are truly familiar with this aircraft carrier.

Lin Chen expressed his understanding for the problems that the ship's technicians could not solve.

He tightened the last screw, and heard footsteps behind him, and several people approached. They had just walked in, and although they couldn't help much, they felt a little sorry for leaving Lin Chen here alone.

After all, Lin Chen is their boss, and the ones who are actually idle are the technical staff on this aircraft carrier.

Lin Chen patted the dust off his hands, and a young man in his early twenties quickly pointed to the side and said, "Boss Lin, you can wash your hands over here."

Lin Chen walked in the direction he pointed, where there was a special washbasin.

"Go and inform Captain Holf that we can set sail again." Lin Chen ordered.

A crew member nearby heard this and quickly ran out. The few people left behind seemed a little reserved in front of Lin Chen.

Lin Chen walked out of the cabin that had just been repaired and happened to see Captain Holf walking quickly towards him from a distance.

Obviously, Horf still had doubts about Lin Chen's statement that the ship could set sail.

Otherwise, he would have decided to sail onwards instead of coming to Lin Chen for confirmation first.

"Boss Lin, Jerry just said that we can set sail after you gave the order." Holf said.

"Yes, it has been repaired." Lin Chen nodded.

Horf finally reacted. He smiled and said, "Boss Lin, we didn't expect you to be so capable. In fact, we feel a little guilty. After all, it is our responsibility to ensure the safe sailing of this ship."

Lin Chen didn’t care too much about these things. He was more concerned about how many days it would take to reach China.

You know, every day delayed at sea costs 2.4 million.

Lin Chen doesn't want to spend any more money.

Everyone on board acted according to their respective duties and returned to their posts.

After the captain gave instructions for sailing, he had more time to stay with Lin Chen, following him around.

Lin Chen suddenly felt a little regretful. He should have kept Lin Xuejun when he said he was leaving.

It would be better to wait until the aircraft carrier here is repaired and then follow their ship away.

While thinking about these things, Logan called. When Lin Chen answered the phone, he also found that several planes had appeared in the sky.

"Boss Lin, the pilot has called me and said he has seen your aircraft carrier. Please pay attention to pick it up." Logan said.

Lin Chen looked up at the sky: "Yes, I saw them too, let them land directly!"

"Ah?" Logan seemed a little confused. He didn't expect Lin Chen to say that he saw it too.

Lin Chen realized this and explained, "Because of some things, I am on the aircraft carrier now, so just ask them to come directly. If there are any subsequent problems, we can communicate directly."

Logan laughed and said, "So that's how it is." He didn't ask for the specific reasons. He only knew that Lin Chen was indeed different from some of the people he knew.

The people on the aircraft carrier also discovered those air force fighter jets.

With the boss here, they naturally wanted to see how the boss would respond. The people in the cabin were not aware of the situation outside, but those on the deck outside could see it clearly.

Lin Chen remained calm. He stood on the deck and the fighter jets slowly approached him.

Horf knew those fighter jets. He was a retired U.S. Navy veteran. Seeing Lin Chen so calm at this moment, he admired him even more.

When he first saw the fighter jet, it was hard for Horv not to think that there was an enemy. But now that he had seen how powerful Lin Chen was, he began to think that maybe this was not a big deal at all.

The fighter jets landed on the deck one after another, and as they stopped, the flight crew came to Lin Chen.

The man in the lead seemed to be the leader of these pilots. He came over and said to Lin Chen, "Boss Lin, it has been delivered. Please check it."

Logan has already told Lin Chen about these pilots. They will go to China with him and then return to the United States at another appropriate time.

"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Chen said to them. Then he turned to Captain Holf and said, "Holf, these pilots are our guests. They will return to China with us. Please make good arrangements."

This was Horf's job, and he quickly took people to make arrangements. Lin Chen called Logan directly: "The goods have been received, and the payment has been made. Please check them." These fighters are somewhat different from those received before, and the quality has improved.

It looks like it was just retired, just like this retired aircraft carrier, so it does not affect its use.

But the price Logan charged was the same as before, eight million per aircraft, and a total of thirty-two million for four aircraft.

Logan was in a good mood: "Boss Lin is really straightforward. If you need me again in the future, don't forget me."

Four fighter jets were parked on the deck, but Lin Chen ignored them.

On the ship, Lin Chen had a separate room.

He studies things about the aircraft carrier and its systems here every day. The aircraft carrier is so huge that Lin Chen has been on the ship for a whole week, trying to explore every corner of the ship.

I spend ten hours every day, but even so, I still discover many rooms I have never seen before from time to time.

That day, after exploring a few new places, he returned to his room and sat down. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Lin Chen said.

Holf pushed the door open and walked in. Holf had mixed feelings about this young boss.

The young man in front of them not only demonstrated superb skills in repairing aircraft carriers, but was also their boss.

The only problem was that the boss didn't seem to have anything else to arrange, and just looked at the situation inside the aircraft carrier every day. As the captain of this aircraft carrier, Horv felt that he needed to come to Lin Chen and have a good communication.

Lin Chen pointed to the seat next to him: "Horff, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Holf got straight to the point and said, "Boss Lin, if you have any instructions for us to do, just tell us."

"No, your mission is to safely drive this aircraft carrier back to China, there is nothing else. You must know that your current mission is the most important mission." Lin Chen replied.

This was the second time Horf heard Lin Chen say this.

This time, he was very sure that this was what Lin Chen thought.

Before leaving, he paused.

"Boss Lin, I noticed that you have been checking the interior of the aircraft carrier these days. We have a layout diagram of the aircraft carrier. Do you need it?" Holf asked.

His reminder made Lin Chen couldn't help laughing: "Is there really a layout map?"

This time, it was Horv's turn to be at a loss. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Lin Chen explained to him: "If I had known there was such a layout, I wouldn't have spent so much time walking around every day." After saying that, he laughed at himself again.

Horv finally realized what was going on and started laughing. He had never imagined that such a shrewd boss would have such a moment.

"Then please wait here for a moment, I'll get it for you right away." Holf turned and left to get the layout map.

Lin Chen somewhat underestimated this retired aircraft carrier. It seems that the seller of this aircraft carrier treated it as a very precious treasure with all his heart and soul, and kept all the supporting items. This is somewhat different from the treatment of ordinary scrapped aircraft carriers.

Lin Chen once read a news report that a shipbreaking manager in the United States spent more than three months but still failed to completely inspect an aircraft carrier.

It would be easier if there was a layout like this. After all, with a layout, you can focus on understanding the places you have walked through among thousands of rooms.

After Lin Chen had just looked at part of the cabin, he was already happy that he had bought a newly retired second-hand aircraft carrier. You know, an aircraft carrier that is too old is prone to toxic waste, oil pollution and other things.

In just two minutes, the captain came back with a thick layout map.

He treasured the things on the aircraft carrier very much and did not treat them casually just because he had sold them to an individual.

Lin Chen took the layout map with anticipation in his heart. He began to study it carefully, hoping to become familiar with every corner of the aircraft carrier more quickly.

The layout diagram was as big as two A4 papers and was seven or eight centimeters thick, so it was quite large.

When Horf handed the heavy layout map to Lin Chen, his expression looked particularly serious.

After Lin Chen took the layout drawing, he began to read it attentively. He was immersed in every detail of the drawing, so much so that he did not notice when Holf left.

Actually, it couldn't be blamed on Horf, because he found that Lin Chen was completely immersed in the world of drawings. He couldn't bear to disturb his focused expression, so he left quietly.

Similarly, except for the initial encounter with Lin Chen, the four pilots never met him again.

The aircraft carrier is so huge, and the areas they are in are different. Even the eating and moving areas are divided separately. This makes it difficult for them to see each other, as if they are in different places even though they are on the same aircraft carrier.

At this time, in the office of the regiment commander of the Linhai Military Region, Fang Weihai had been on the phone for several minutes.

Liu Dingcang's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Have you asked about Lin Chen's detention?"

Fang Weihai replied: "He is still at sea, but I believe him. He promised to deliver two Mirages within a month, so there should be no problem."

Liu Dingcang was silent for a while before he slowly said, "Of course I understand the past situations, but this time is a little special, so we still have to be on the safe side."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

After Fang Weihai hung up the phone, he hesitated whether to call Lin Chen to ask, but finally gave up.

He knew that calling Lin Chen now would not solve the fundamental problem.

Fang Weihai later found out that the military's external propaganda had already begun, and the two Mirages previously ordered were actually existing orders.

This was the first foreign trade order undertaken by an individual, and the pressure on Liu Dingcang's shoulders could be imagined. He could only pass on the pressure, hoping that Lin Chen could complete the modification of the Phantom within the agreed time.

However, Lin Chen knew nothing about the pressure Liu Dingcang and Fang Weihai were under.

On a sunny day, he finally docked the aircraft carrier at the dock.

The other personnel had already gone to different destinations, and at this time, Lin Chen was the only one standing quietly on the aircraft carrier.

He contacted Wang Jier, the head of the company that owned the dock. The aircraft carrier was docked in the dock area controlled by Wang Jier's company.

When Wang Jier learned that Lin Chen had arrived, he had already arrived at the dock to wait. He saw Lin Chen standing on the deck of the aircraft carrier from a distance, so he went to meet him.

"Mr. Wang." Lin Chen walked closer and greeted with a smile.
