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

Chapter 467 The drunkard doesn’t care about drinking

This posture obviously makes her more relaxed.

Lin Chen walked to the sofa, sat down, and asked, "I just heard you call and said you wanted to set up a recording studio?"

Fang Lan heard this and adjusted herself from her lying position, sitting next to Lin Chen. "Yes, the film has reached the post-dubbing stage. I rented two recording studios, which will speed up the process."

After hearing this, Lin Chen hesitated a little. Before he could think about it, Fang Lan joked, "Of course, there is also a job for you!"

"I was just a stand-in at the time and my face wasn't even shown. We should find the real leading actor to do the dubbing." Lin Chen smiled and tried to refuse.

Fang Lan smiled and shook her head, "That's fine. There are still many extras who need to dub, so you can help with the dubbing!"

Seeing this, Lin Chen stopped refusing. He understood that Fang Lan wanted to save some money on voice actors, and since he could help solve the problem, there was no need to spend extra money.

What's more, dubbing is also a brand new attempt for him, so it might not be a bad idea to give it a try.

After all, during this period, both the factory and the shipyard were relatively idle, and he had plenty of time.

Fang Lan was not surprised by Lin Chen's agreement, she had expected this.

Just then, Lin Chen's cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Fang Weihai.

Without hesitation, he answered the phone and got up to go back to his bedroom so that he could talk about his own things better without disturbing Fang Lan who was about to watch a show.

On the way back to the bedroom, Lin Chen heard Fang Weihai's voice on the other end of the phone: "Boss Lin, we haven't been in touch for many days."

Lin Chen smiled and responded, "Yes, we haven't seen each other since we went to the Eastern Theater last time. Chief Fang is very busy, so how can he have time to see ordinary people like us!"

Fang Weihai knew that Lin Chen was joking, but he also found it very funny.

He went on to say, "Well, I called you this time because I have something to discuss with you. I want to see if it would be convenient for you to come to our Linhai Military District."

Lin Chen would usually gladly agree to such invitations unless there were extremely special circumstances, but that almost never happened.

"No problem. Is there any time requirement? Or can we just go there now?" Lin Chen asked.

Fang Weihai replied: "Come over now, Mr. Liu is here too."

He was giving Lin Chen a heads-up in advance, so that he could be mentally prepared for what might happen soon.

Lin Chen didn’t have much thought about this meeting, and he quickly drove to the Linhai Military Region.

The people here were already familiar with him. After receiving instructions from their superiors, they were responsible for receiving Lin Chen and took him directly to Fang Weihai's office.

In the office, just as Fang Weihai said, Liu Dingcang was indeed there, and there were only the two of them.

As soon as Lin Chen entered the door, Fang Weihai greeted him warmly: "Boss Lin, you are really fast. We are still talking here, and you are already here!"

Lin Chen smiled and responded, "Isn't this a call from the leader? How dare I neglect it?"

As usual, Lin Chen sat in his usual seat, facing Liu Dingcang, while Fang Weihai sat on the sofa diagonally opposite him.

Liu Dingcang looked at Lin Chen with a smile, "Have you rested enough these days?" He knew that Lin Chen had no busy work in the factory these days. This was what Lin Chen told him when they separated last time.

"It's okay. I can be busy or idle." Lin Chen said lightly.

Liu Dingcang nodded slightly, and his tone changed to become serious: "Boss Lin, we are looking for you this time because we have something very important to discuss with you."

"Huaxia formally invites you to join our national research and development team as chief engineer." His words were sincere, his eyes were genuine, and there was a faint smile on his face, which was a kind of appreciation and expectation of an elder for a younger generation.

However, Lin Chen's answer made Liu Dingcang stunned for a moment, "Then I should also tell all leaders honestly that I am really not interested in this position." He didn't even have time to think about it, and directly refused.

Before this, Liu Dingcang and Fang Weihai had considered inviting Lin Chen to join the national team, but at that time his identity was only a technician, not the chief engineer.

Even if Lin Chen refused at that time, they could understand it, but now, even the position of chief engineer was rejected, which was indeed beyond Liu Dingcang's expectations.

Fang Weihai was shocked when he heard Lin Chen's answer. Under normal circumstances, even if he didn't want to agree, he wouldn't refuse so directly in person. They usually felt that Lin Chen was capable and different, but when facing the general army officer, Fang Weihai still felt that it seemed a bit inappropriate to respond with such an attitude.

He quickly tried to smooth things over, "Boss Lin, you can go back and think about it carefully. There's no need to refuse so hastily. Besides, there's still a lot of room for discussion between us." Lin Chen glanced at Fang Weihai, then at Liu Dingcang, smiled faintly and said, "It's precisely because I respect my leaders so much that I speak my mind more sincerely."

He sighed and continued, "I am very grateful for the trust that my leader has in me, but I believe that the leader also understands that I am used to freedom." Liu Dingcang has experienced a lot. On weekdays, the soldiers and officers in the military region are all very respectful to him. Apart from his own children, the only one who speaks so freely in front of him is Lin Chen.

But he quickly adjusted his mood and listened to Lin Chen carefully. He nodded seriously and said, "Or, it's the same reason why we are looking for you to cooperate. We won't restrict your freedom."

Seeing that Lin Chen wanted to say something, Liu Dingcang spoke before him, "Like Xiao Fang said, you can think about it again. I'll give you a day. You can answer tomorrow."

Facing such a considerate leader, Lin Chen didn't want to force him to do anything, which was too disrespectful. He nodded seriously, confirming that he had received the message and would give a reply tomorrow.

Liu Dingcang had no intention of giving up. He continued, "I will tell you in detail about the job content of the chief engineer and other benefits, so that you can make a better judgment. Maybe you will find it suitable."

Lin Chen could only smile cooperatively and listen to Liu Dingcang's detailed introduction to the chief engineer's job content and other benefits.

The benefits he mentioned were mainly to give Lin Chen full freedom. As long as he was responsible for overall research and development and arranging work for other people, as long as the task could be completed, all his time would be free.

As for other benefits, Liu Dingcang knew that Lin Chen was not short of money. His income alone was equal to that of several soldiers.

Freedom is the most important thing to Lin Chen. Therefore, he emphasized freedom.

After hearing this, Lin Chen said decisively: "Okay, leader, I will seriously consider it."

Besides, he had no better way to communicate with the person in front of him. But at this moment, he suddenly asked, "Leader, is this just to talk about this?"

Liu Dingcang nodded, "This matter is very important to us." Lin Chen smiled, "I will respond as soon as possible tomorrow. I will also carefully consider this matter."

"That's right! Don't be impatient about everything. Think about it carefully and weigh all aspects. It's not too late to make a decision!" Fang Weihai suggested from the side.

At this moment, Lin Chen had nothing else to say. He sat there quietly, thinking about this important decision in his heart.

It mainly depends on the two people in front of us, and whether there is anything else that needs to be explained.

If there is nothing else important, I can only get up and say goodbye.

When Liu Dingcang saw Lin Chen approaching, he had a lot of things in his mind that he wanted to discuss with him.

He took the initiative to speak: "Is there any new news from the Union recently?"

The military naturally has its own sources of information.

However, the news from Lin Chen is always a little different, more confidential and faster.

Lin Chen listened, shook his head and said, "Nothing special, it's just a normal sea trial. In order to avoid being compared with our China's Chaoyang, they have tried their best to avoid releasing any information related to the aircraft carrier."

As soon as these words were spoken, both Liu Dingcang and Fang Weihai laughed.

"That's true. During this period of time, the official has not had any relevant news about them." Fang Weihai also responded.

After a brief exchange of words, Lin Chen left the office of the Linhai Military Region.

Lin Chen actually had practical considerations in mind for declining the position of chief engineer. He just picked one of the reasons and said it out loud.

What's more, he didn't want to lead so many old professors as the chief engineer.

I always feel that this is inappropriate and I feel uncomfortable.

But this reason cannot be explained to Liu Dingcang, as they will definitely find other ways to deny this reason.

It would be better to use the pursuit of freedom as an excuse.

Lin Chen had made up his mind on the way back by car, and even on the next day, his answer was still the same.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning...

Lin Chen didn't wait too long. At nine o'clock, he called Liu Dingcang back directly.

I called and simply said hello, without giving any details of my reply.

Liu Dingcang took the initiative to ask: "Boss Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Chen said: "Just like yesterday, I am really not suitable for this job. If the leader has any concerns about weapons, you can just tell me!"

The reason why he thought so was that what he did was indeed related to national defense.

Perhaps the construction of these two aircraft carriers has caused some concerns on the Chinese side.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have insisted on becoming a military member in this way.

Lin Chen only had a guess in this regard, but he couldn't be completely sure.

All he had to do was to directly raise the issues he was worried about and give an answer.

To avoid unnecessary trouble in the future if this situation really happens.

Liu Dingcang asked him: "What are you worried about?"

"Is it because they are concerned about my weapons sales, afraid that I will sell these weapons abroad, or for similar reasons?"

Lin Chen said it directly.

He didn't want to have any unsolvable problems in this matter.

If the military really thinks so, they will definitely point it out directly and then talk about other things.

Liu Dingcang hesitated for a moment.

Said to Lin Chen: "I think Boss Lin may have misunderstood this matter. How about this, I am still in Linhai today, let's meet somewhere and have a good chat."

Lin Chen wanted to refuse directly, but swallowed the words back.

"Okay." He finally agreed.

The place was chosen by Liu Dingcang.

Another guesthouse for military personnel in Linhai.

This was the first time Lin Chen came here to meet someone.

Overall, the situation is not much different from that in the military region.

When I met Liu Dingcang, there was no one else there.

From a distance, Liu Dingcang's entourage were waiting somewhere else.

Now only Lin Chen and Liu Dingcang are left.

They entered a particularly bright office.

It's very tidy and doesn't look like an unused place. It's probably the place Liu Dingcang will use when he comes.

Liu Dingcang said to Lin Chen earnestly: "It's hard to explain over the phone, it's better for us to meet in person."

Lin Chen nodded slightly.

Liu Dingcang added: "I understand what you mean. In fact, what I want to talk about is almost the same situation. If you don't participate in the work of chief engineer here, you really have to sign an agreement."

The military district's top brass held a meeting specifically about Lin Chen's matter.

Lin Chen is indeed a rare talent.

But they are also uncontrollable talents.

They finally decided to let Lin Chen be the chief engineer. If it failed, they would have to sign an agreement.

When Liu Dingcang heard Lin Chen talk about it on the phone, he already realized how insightful Lin Chen was.

I just told you about the agreement directly.

At this time, Lin Chen reacted and said very straightforwardly: "Of course there is no problem, everyone can understand. I can also tell you very confidently that my heart towards China is absolutely sincere."

Liu Dingcang certainly understood and realized that after so many times of collaboration, he had long been clear about Lin Chen's mentality.

But after all, there must be some constraints on this matter.

Although Lin Chen had already promised Liu Dingcang to sign the agreement.

But I'm still thinking about the contents of the agreement.

It is impossible for him to simply cooperate with the military, as that would completely solidify his customer base.

The agreement was brought out.

It turned out that it had been planned long ago.

Lin Chen didn't care about these and started to look through the contents.

Liu Dingcang saw all of this. Seeing Lin Chen looking at the contract seriously, he was very impressed and felt that Lin Chen was very open-minded.

After Lin Chen finished reading the content, he found that there was no problem at all. It only restricted equipment such as aircraft carriers and Phantoms.

The signing of the agreement went particularly smoothly.

Lin Chen also stood up and prepared to leave.
