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

Chapter 452: Wang Jier's Treat, a Kindness That Can't Be Rejected
When Wang Jier heard this, he immediately agreed readily: "Yes, Mr. Lin is right to find me. Our company is professional."

Lin Chen simply explained the work requirements for cleaning the bottom of the ship, and Wang Jier agreed very readily, and even arranged for company personnel to carry out the cleaning work that day.

This is no small project. The entire aircraft carrier is 307.5 meters long from head to tail, with a waterline depth of 280 meters. It is immersed in the sea all year round, and its size is so large that more marine life is attached to it.

In addition, the hull is severely corroded, and all aspects of cleaning work need to be officially started.

However, having a professional team to operate it will naturally increase the speed and reduce damage to the hull.

Wang Jier's company mainly operates the business of importing solid waste, classifying some waste into different types through disassembly and assembly, and finally reselling them.

The ship bottom cleaning work provided by Lin Chen is a good opportunity for them to match their professional expertise.

In order to clean up the aircraft carrier, Wang Jier sent a total of 980 workers. They will come to the dock to work through the company's overall dispatch.

The rest of the work will be left to these professional workers, and Lin Chen doesn't need to pay too much attention to it.

Despite the involvement of nearly a thousand workers, the cleanup of the aircraft carrier will still take months to complete.

Lin Chen had already known this, so he did not stay on the aircraft carrier for too long.

Just as he was about to leave, he noticed a familiar car approaching from a distance.

The car door opened, Wang Jier got out of the car, and walked towards Lin Chen with a smile: "I knew you were still here, so I hurried over."

As he said that, he pointed in the direction of his car and said, "This time, no matter what, we must have a meal together. Mr. Lin, you can't refuse!"

Lin Chen felt that it was hard to refuse the kindness, and since he had provided the other party with such a large business deal, it was reasonable for the other party to want to express his gratitude.

So he gladly accepted Wang Jier's invitation.

The two came to Wang Jier's hotel and had a simple meal.

At the dinner table, the two also talked about the cleaning of the aircraft carrier. Wang Jier asked with a smile: "Boss Lin, after the bottom of the ship is cleaned, have you arranged the subsequent maintenance and painting work?"

After saying that, he added: "You can't let others get this advantage, they still have to come to us for cooperation." Lin Chen already had a plan in mind, and he came here this time to discuss some related matters in detail to avoid any subsequent involvement.

He replied: "Mr. Wang, I'll leave the cleanup to you. As for the subsequent maintenance and modification work, I can handle it myself."

Wang Jier was a little surprised when he heard this. Lin Chen didn't want him to misunderstand, so he explained: "The remaining work is to send the aircraft carrier to the dock for installation, modification and maintenance. Of course, it can no longer stay at Mr. Wang's dock."

Even if Lin Chen didn't explain in detail, Wang Jier could understand what he meant.

This is not a simple job of dismantling and reselling scrap parts, but the reconstruction and modification of the aircraft carrier.

Wang Jier's eyes widened, and all he could think of was a national-level project. Only in this way could it explain why Lin Chen attached so much importance to this aircraft carrier.

He treated Lin Chen differently: "It seems that Brother Lin has connections in the military! If you need my help in the future, you must think of me!"

As he spoke, he patted Lin Chen's shoulder, full of instructions and expectations.

Lin Chen knew that Wang Jier had guessed that he had a relationship with the military, but he did not explain anything.

After all, sometimes the more explanations you give, the more trouble you get into.

The current situation is quite good. The other party regards the reconstruction of the aircraft carrier as something extremely mysterious and will not ask too many related questions.

When they were about to leave the hotel after dinner, Wang Jier suddenly stopped Lin Chen and asked meaningfully, "Boss Lin, do you want seafood?" Lin Chen was slightly stunned, then reacted and replied with a smile, "No, I don't cook much."

Wang Jier laughed out loud: "These seafoods have a special meaning!" Lin Chen didn't want to keep him in suspense, so he said: "What special meaning can seafood have?"

Wang Jier explained with a smile: "Brother Lin, you should know that there are a lot of seafood on the aircraft carrier! I asked the workers' organization to handle it, and now I have sent some to you." Ever since he guessed that Lin Chen had a relationship with the military, Wang Jier directly elevated their relationship to that of brothers.

He held Lin Chen's hand and had no intention of letting him leave. Lin Chen also felt a little strange after hearing this. Although he knew that there were indeed a lot of seafood attached to the bottom of the aircraft carrier, he had never thought of eating it. But seeing Wang Jier's enthusiasm, he was embarrassed to refuse this kindness. So he nodded to show that he was a little interested in this thing.

Wang Jier was quite satisfied with this and immediately ordered the people around him to bring the seafood.

"Send it to General Lin's house," he ordered.

Lin Chen quickly waved his hand to refuse: "No need to do that, just put it in my car and I will take it back myself."

Wang Jier heard this and said with a smile: "Alright, this will have a different meaning!"

What surprised Lin Chen was that the truck was actually a truck. The truck was filled with boxes of seafood, which were still squirming and looked very fresh. Lin Chen couldn't help but frown.

Wang Jier also realized that it was impossible to put it in Lin Chen's car like this. He looked at the staff around him with some reproach: "How can you do it! Can you put it in the car like this?"

The staff quickly directed people to get smaller fresh-keeping boxes and bags. After a flurry of activity, several large boxes of seafood were loaded into Lin Chen's car, and the car could no longer hold any more.

Lin Chen was helpless, but Wang Jier was too enthusiastic. "Brother Lin, share it with your friends. It really means a lot! You know? Meaning is the most important thing." Wang Jier said. Although he is the chairman of a listed company, he cares about these things. This is one of the reasons why Lin Chen did not refuse in the end. No matter how rich you are, sometimes you still have to be down-to-earth.

Lin Chen set off on his way home with the truckload of seafood. On the way, he was thinking about how to deal with the seafood. He couldn't just take all of it to "Zui Weng Yi". While driving, he gradually remembered that there was a seafood market nearby.

After driving to the store, he chose a shop and walked in. The owner of the store was busy packing seafood for other customers. When he saw Lin Chen, he greeted him enthusiastically: "Sir, what seafood would you like?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Boss, my friend gave me some seafood, but I can't use it, so I want to give it to you."

The shop owner looked at the car in the direction Lin Chen pointed and shook his head: "That won't work. All the seafood here is purchased from designated locations and requires a license. In a situation like yours, it won't work at all. Even if there is no problem, I can't use it. I hope you understand."

Lin Chen really didn't expect there was such a rule, and quickly said to the boss: "I'm really sorry, but thank you for being such a responsible merchant." Lin Chen was very pleased to have met such a store. The boss also quickly sent Lin Chen out and said to him: "Thank you too!" At the same time, he also saw the boxes of seafood in Lin Chen's car, and couldn't help but teasing: "Your friend is really generous, just these fresh seafood, it costs a lot of money."

Lin Chen could only respond with a polite smile and then drove away. At this time, he faced a new problem.

He turned the car around and drove directly to the seaside, where people always came back from fishing and residents wanted to buy "fresh" seafood.

Lin Chen parked the car there and took out one food storage box after another, attracting many people to stop and watch.

"Who is this? Driving such a luxury car to sell seafood?"

"These days, there are many wealthy people who come out to experience life."

People were talking a lot.

Lin Chen said, "It's free! Be quick."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people gathered around him. Lin Chen chose a time that was just in time to avoid other people returning from the sea, but there were many people coming here to play at this time.

In the end, Lin Chen left a box of seafood for himself and drove away. Those who had discussed why he came to sell seafood, looking at the seafood in their hands, the topic of discussion has changed to something else.

“He really came to experience life!”

Several girls covered their faces and looked at the direction where Lin Chen left and said, "He is handsome, rich, and has such a down-to-earth experience of life. He is like a character from a TV series."

"Oh, I actually forgot to ask for the contact information just now."

"Even if I ask for it, they may not give it to me!"

“Haha, luckily I took a picture!”

The person who had the photo was surrounded by several sisters, who asked him to share Lin Chen's photo.

Lin Chen was alone, and did not reply to the "drunkard's intention". It was just past one o'clock in the afternoon, and he was going to the factory to finish the work of converting the remaining two fighters into Mirages, but he had something on his mind.

He first drove to buy the barbecue equipment, along with the seasonings and other things. He thought that after modifying the fighter, it would be great to grill the seafood. However, after walking around the market, he couldn't help but buy the meat and other grillable things.

Afterwards, he went to the factory alone. He had just had lunch with Wang Jier at noon, so he was not hungry at all and started working on modifying the fighter jets.

When Fang Weihai called, Lin Chen looked at the time and it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. He answered the phone and tightened the last screw while listening to Fang Weihai.

"Boss Lin, are you in the factory or the crew? I have something to talk to you about." Fang Weihai said.

"At the factory, just come over!" Lin Chen said. His factory was not far from the Linhai Military Region, so it would save Fang Weihai time to come to the factory.

In less than half an hour, Fang Weihai's SUV arrived. The driver got out first, and before he could open the door for Fang Weihai, he got out himself.

What he saw was Lin Chen setting up a barbecue grill. The charcoal was already burning red and was neatly arranged in the grill.

"Leader Fang, come and have dinner with us!" Lin Chen had put all the charcoal in place and was preparing the seasonings.

Fang Weihai walked over with the soldier who was in charge of driving, and found a stool to sit down. Looking at the busy Lin Chen, he smiled and said, "Boss Lin, life is very comfortable!"

Lin Chen looked up at Fang Weihai and said, "Let's eat together later, and that will be a common comfort."

Fang Weihai laughed. Lin Chen added: "I'm serious. There are seafood, meat and vegetables in it. I really want to invite you to have a meal together."

"Then stay and eat together. We don't have anything else to do anyway." Fang Weihai said, and then ordered the soldiers around him: "Go and take down the bottle of wine in the car."

The soldier turned around and quickly went to get the wine. Lin Chen was a little confused: "Leader, you are well prepared! Hahaha!"

Fang Weihai stood up from his seat and turned around. He saw the many seafoods placed by Lin Chen. "Why are there so many?" Fang Weihai asked, "They are quite fresh."

Lin Chen did not hide it from him, in fact, he did it on purpose. "It was cleaned from the bottom of the aircraft carrier." He said.

Fang Weihai returned to his original seat and sat down, watching Lin Chen busy. In fact, they had already known that Lin Chen had an aircraft carrier. They were also familiar with the progress of Lin Chen's aircraft carrier, which was not a secret at all.

Lin Chen knew from Fang Weihai's reaction that they must be paying attention to his movements. So he simply showed the truth to Fang Weihai. Moreover, if the aircraft carrier is really rebuilt, it may be handed over to the military. Keeping it will not bring in more income, but will cost more in various aspects of maintenance.

Fang Weihai was silent for a while, and found that Lin Chen did not continue to talk about the aircraft carrier. But he still couldn't help but said to Lin Chen: "I know a piece of news here, and it has something to do with you."

After hearing this, Lin Chen temporarily stopped what he was doing. "Oh? What is it?" He smiled, "No one is more informed than you."

Fang Weihai also smiled: "The military intends to build our own aircraft carrier, but you also know that this is not an ordinary technology."

Lin Chen understood a little bit after hearing this, but the other party's real intention still needed detailed explanation to understand. So at this time, he just listened quietly, waiting for the follow-up content.

Fang Weihai continued, "I know you just brought back an aircraft carrier and are cleaning it now. Do you have any intention of modifying it? If so, that would be great."

"What do you mean?" Lin Chen asked.

"Think about it, once you have the technology clearly displayed on your side, wouldn't subsequent cooperation be much easier?" Fang Weihai said.

Lin Chen listened and nodded: "Indeed, aircraft carriers are different from other equipment and require a larger investment."
