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

Chapter 463 Tidbits
After the designated driver arrived, he took them back to their residence.

Although he drank a lot of alcohol the night before, Lin Chen's biological clock still woke him up on time.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Fang Lan raising her hand to knock on the door. They were both startled.

Fang Lan reacted quickly and held up the computer screen to show Lin Chen: "Hurry up and take a look, you are on the hot search again."

Lin Chen lowered his head and saw that, sure enough, his photo was placed right in the center.

He was quite handsome, and he couldn't help but feel secretly proud of himself.

There are entire pages devoted to his topic, just with different titles.

"The popular young actress enthusiastically embraces investors. The entertainment industry is unfathomable!"

"Lin Chen got drunk and lost control, and the reputation of investors collapsed!"

……

Lin Chen flipped through the pages and stopped reading.

There are three main pictures in the accompanying pictures. One is a frontal photo of him and Yang Li in the hotel, and another is a photo of his side face and Yang Li's back when Yang Li hugged him.

You can tell who is who by looking at their clothes.

Such copywriting, coupled with some distorted facts, exaggerated the relationship between him and Yang Li.

Fang Lan seemed quite calm. She said, "Yang Li's agent called me early in the morning and said that they wanted to apologize to you because Yang Li had caused trouble. They also said that they would issue a statement to deal with the matter."

After listening to Fang Lan's words, Lin Chen said, "Let's take a look at the situation. If necessary, we can also make a statement together."

He waited for a while but didn't hear Fang Lan's response. He looked over and found that Fang Lan had a sly smile on her face.

Fang Lan said, "I didn't expect you to start to seriously consider public relations. You didn't care about these things before."

Lin Chen thought about it and responded, "It seems so. It's probably because people are influenced by you."

At this time, Deji's voice came: "Lin Chen is not in the circle, but he is often used for hype."

Soon, Yang Li’s statement appeared on the Internet.

However, this statement did not solve any problems, but instead set off another wave of craze.

"Why did Yang Li come out to issue such a bland statement? Where is Lin Chen?"

"Is there really some kind of deal between them that's why they behave like this?"...

After the topic was moved across several platforms, it became more and more outrageous.

Lin Chen watched the news and always felt that things were developing in a more uncontrollable direction.

At this time, Lin Chen found Fang Lan who was revising the script at home and said to her: "Aren't you going to say something on the crew's side? If this continues, things will really get out of hand."

Fang Lan immediately responded: "Of course, do you think Yang Li didn't suppress the matter at all?"

Lin Chen nodded to confirm: "Well, it seems so."

"That's no problem," Fang Lan rattled off the next solution. "The crew can explain that it was a wrap-up party, and then look for other photos that can prove that everyone was together."

After hearing Fang Lan's words, Lin Chen finally felt relieved.

He knew that Fang Lan and others had been following up on this matter and had even figured out how to handle and resolve it.

Lin Chen didn't need to worry too much at this time, so he simply let himself go and busy himself with the affairs of his aircraft carrier.

Fang Lan watched Lin Chen turn and leave, then quickly lowered her head and took out her cell phone.

She first called the person in charge of publicity, and then called the person in charge of public relations. They also began to take formal action to prepare for this sudden storm.

Fang Lan also made a special call to Yang Li's agent Dong Wenwen.

Like Yang Li, Dong Wenwen is a newcomer in this industry. She answers the phone very quickly and politely.

"Sister Fang." Dong Wenwen called softly on the other end of the phone.

"Wenwen, we are also preparing to issue a statement," Fang Lan said bluntly, "You won't need to do anything else when the time comes. Just leave everything to us to handle."

Obviously, the other party didn't expect Fang Lan to call and say this.

She said with some guilt: "Sister Fang, I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble, and our statement hasn't worked yet."

Fang Lan didn't care about this. She responded, "No one expected this to happen. There will be many similar things in this circle in the future. We should learn from our mistakes."

The other party thanked them repeatedly, and this time the public relations completely shifted to Fang Lan and Lin Chen.

The people arranged by Fang Lan were very efficient and quickly prepared the pictures and text and sent them to Fang Lan for final review.

Lin Chen happened to be next to Fang Lan, watching her open the folder in the computer.

The picture was displayed in the form of a large picture, showing the hug between Lin Chen and Yang Li in all aspects.

Lin Chen's surprised expression is also clearly shown in the picture.

"This one isn't suitable." Lin Chen said after taking a look.

Fang Lan nodded and said, "Indeed, if this picture is sent out, it will be disadvantageous to Yang Li." After saying that, she quickly deleted the photo.

Next, Fang Lan began to carefully review other pictures and texts to make sure there were no problems.

Lin Chen waited quietly on the side. He knew that Fang Lan was always serious and responsible in her work, and she would definitely handle things properly this time.

Lin Chen's finger lightly touched an unusual picture.

It was a photo of him and Xia Tong hugging each other tightly, capturing a warm yet slightly awkward moment.

"Thanks to this photo," he chuckled, with a hint of regret in his tone, "To be honest, I'm starting to regret not hugging everyone."

When Fang Lan heard this, she burst into laughter and her shoulders shook so much that the computer also trembled slightly.

After finally stopping her laughter, she turned to Lin Chen and jokingly said, "That's right. At that time, Xia Tong even suggested that everyone should hug you, but you refused."

Lin Chen frowned when he heard this, and thought seriously for a moment, but still felt that it was not appropriate.

"It would be easy if there were lots of photos of them hugging. But now there are only two, which may not be fair to the two actresses." He shook his head, looking helpless.

After some consideration, Lin Chen and Fang Lan finally decided to use another photo - the one that only showed him and Yang Li.

In the photo, everyone at the table is clearly visible, and Fang Lan is sitting next to Lin Chen with a bright smile.

"In this way, as long as we add the right copy, we can direct the focus of public opinion to other places." Fang Lan said confidently. She carefully reviewed the copy provided by the public relations department, but found that it did not quite match the selected picture.

So she took charge and re-edited the copy herself.

After the copy was released, it indeed caused an uproar.

The article mentioned that at the wrap party, Lin Chen warmly embraced and encouraged many friends.

What's more, he is accompanied by his girlfriend Fang Lan, and they have a sweet relationship.

The copy also specifically emphasized that everyone at their table participated in the hug and the atmosphere was harmonious.

The direction of public opinion changed, and most people began to denounce those rumor-mongers who took things out of context.

The storm gradually subsided amid the hot searches for another actor.

Recalling this hot search, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

"Topics on the hot searches will always be replaced by new things in a few days. So, no matter whether it is black material or red material, you don't have to take it too seriously," he said lightly.

Fang Lan reminded him, "That being said, when negative information comes out, it still needs to be dealt with in a timely manner, especially the last time you did it."

Lin Chen agreed with this, "Yes, attacking with pictures is indeed very effective."

After the incident was settled, Yang Li called Fang Lan to apologize because neither she nor her agent had Lin Chen's contact information.

Fang Lan relayed Yang Li's words to Lin Chen, who smiled and responded, "Don't be sorry, it's really okay."

After this hot search, Lin Chen’s web page inquiries surged, and even the number of fans on his previously opened Weibo account increased significantly.

Fans left messages urging him to hurry up and start filming a movie and get back into the entertainment industry so that they would have the chance to chase their idol.

"Boss Lin, you have so much money and resources in your hands, why do you have to go and suffer to film a movie?" a fan commented.

"Yeah, just shoot for fashion magazines and attend some events and that's enough," echoed another comment.

Just when fans were hotly discussing whether Lin Chen would enter the entertainment industry, he pinned the information he had previously released that he would not enter the entertainment industry.

However, he never expected that this action would push him to the top of the hot searches again.

Even An Ran called and teased, "When did the Lin Chen I knew become so charming and even cross the circle?"

"If you really want to enter the entertainment industry, I can provide you with resources." Lin Chen responded on the phone.

An Ran smiled and refused: "Unfortunately I don't have the chance now, I'm busy going out on missions all day!"

"Fans will definitely like military beauties like you," Lin Chen said jokingly.

An Ran was stunned for a moment, then retorted: "I was originally talking about your problem, why are you bringing it up with me?"

The two chatted for a while about who should enter the entertainment industry, and soon turned to the topic of aircraft carriers.

"I heard that a new aircraft carrier can be built in just one month. That's amazing!" An Ran's tone was full of exaggeration and pride.

Lin Chen, however, behaved relatively calmly as he had long been accustomed to these things.

"When it's fully built, you can come and visit." He said lightly.

They are in the same circle, so it is not difficult for them to go over and take a look.

But An Ran refused: "No, I'm too busy recently. By the time your aircraft carrier is completed, I will probably be on a new mission outside."

Obviously, An Ran did not take the aircraft carrier too seriously. She felt that Lin Chen's achievement was commonplace, so she was not too surprised.

As time went by, the construction of the aircraft carrier gradually came to an end.

Lin Chen came to the scene in person and not only participated in the assembly himself, but also supervised others working together.

As a mobile land on the sea, an aircraft carrier itself does not need to carry a large number of weapons. Its main means of attack lies in carrier-based aircraft.

The defensive measures rely heavily on the destroyers and frigates in the battle group.

However, in the design of the new aircraft carrier, Lin Chen retained some anti-missile devices on the aircraft carrier to cope with emergency anti-submarine and interception missions.

The soldiers led by Deng Xu were responsible for assembling the equipment according to the designated tasks, but they did not understand the actual properties and other aspects.

They were all very surprised when they saw Lin Chen personally assembling the close-in defense gun on the port side of the stern.

"Boss Lin, let me help you!" Deng Xu stepped forward and volunteered.

"No need, you just need to be responsible for coordinating the work of others, and don't worry about anything else." Lin Chen replied without raising his head.

Deng Xu stood there, somewhat stunned. He never expected that Lin Chen would personally participate in such a detailed assembly work.

You know, it has only been more than half a month since the construction of this aircraft carrier. Such speed is simply incredible.

Although Deng Xu could see Lin Chen every day during this period, the two did not communicate very often.

Seeing Lin Chen assembling the close-in weapon system so easily today, he couldn't help but want to come over and chat.

"In addition to this close-in defense gun, is there any other close-in defense weapons installed on our aircraft carrier?" Deng Xu asked proactively, "I know that many countries' aircraft carriers attach great importance to close-in defense weapons."

Lin Chen did not stop his movements. He answered while busying himself: "We made some changes this time. This is part of the close-in defense weapons. Compared with other countries' aircraft carriers, I think our frigates and destroyers are already able to undertake many tasks."

After saying that, he stood up and began to assemble the last part.

At the same time, he said to Deng Xu: "In addition to the current close-in defense guns, our close-in defense weapons also include anti-submarine rocket launchers and jammer launchers."

"Apart from these, is there no need to equip anything else?" Deng Xu asked curiously.

Lin Chen was not annoyed by Deng Xu's question. Instead, he answered very seriously: "That's basically it. There's nothing special."

However, there was one thing Lin Chen did not explain to Deng Xu, and that was that even though they were all called close-in defense guns, the defensive devices he designed had enhanced properties.

There are also different capabilities and attributes among close-in defense guns, but there is no need to explain these details to Deng Xu one by one.

Deng Xu did not have a deep understanding of aircraft carriers, and did not continue to delve into it.

Just then, he saw other soldiers walking towards this side in the distance, as if they had something to report.

"I think something is happening over there. I'll go over and take a look." Deng Xu said to Lin Chen.

"Okay, go ahead. Our aircraft carrier will be completed soon, and then you can go back to the military district to rest." Lin Chen knew that although these soldiers were participating in the assembly work here, they still belonged to the military district and their original positions after all.
