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

Chapter 499: Some people are just waiting to be slapped in the face!
At the aerospace military base, Lin Chen had just finished a round of work inspection when he received a call from An Ran.

"What brings you here to call?" Lin Chen asked jokingly.

An Ran said seriously, "This time I have something to ask for."

"Tell me about it." Lin Chen said.

An Ran paused for a moment and continued, "I took over a transnational fraud case this time. More than a dozen victims have suffered heavy property losses, and the cases all occurred in the past few days."

Lin Chen said "hmm" and motioned An Ran to continue.

"This gang's methods are very special. They are able to deceive so many victims in a short period of time. It is a bit difficult for us to track them, so we would like to ask for your help." An Ran said.

Lin Chen happened to see someone coming towards him. He greeted them and continued to respond to An Ran: "Do you know their relevant information or the name of the organization? This way I can search based on the clues."

"We only know the name of one of their internal staff members, who might be their boss," An Ran said.

Lin Chen couldn't help but complain: "This job is not done well enough. I don't know how long the police station over there has been investigating, and they only found such a small clue." This was very different from his previous impression of the police station's efficiency, and he couldn't help but wonder if something went wrong.

An Ran helplessly explained to Lin Chen: "This is a gang that suddenly committed crimes. So many people have come to report the case since yesterday. We were really caught off guard."

Lin Chen nodded in understanding: "That makes sense. Then tell me the name of that person and I'll look up the relevant information."

An Ran has been curious many times about what kind of network intelligence system Lin Chen has that allows him to obtain so much information, but she always fails to find the key and can only ask Lin Chen for help when she encounters problems.

Lin Chen got a name from An Ran, and after hanging up the phone, he started to operate the system: "System, check for a fraudster named Wang Debao."

The system voice sounded: "The difficulty is four stars, and you need to pay two hundred thousand US dollars, and the results will not be available immediately."

Lin Chen couldn't help but complain: "Two hundred thousand US dollars? This is a world of difference from simply checking information in the past. Are you taking advantage of the situation?" He really wanted to help An Ran, but the cost in the past was much lower than this time. This time, the price was dozens of times higher.

The system responded mischievously: "In the past, at least an organization name could be given. This time, only an individual name was given. It is already very difficult to find it out, not to mention that your system has not been upgraded yet."

The system mentioned the upgrade issue again, which made Lin Chen a little embarrassed. He did not upgrade the system, and now he was controlled by the system. Moreover, he really needed to know some information as soon as possible.

Lin Chen, who was not one to make a loss easily, paid $200,000 out of his own pocket this time. The system screen showed that it was loading.

As the system said before, due to limited clues, it will take more time to search.

Lin Chen suddenly remembered that Fang Lan had mentioned Deji during her previous phone call. He happened to be free now, so he called Fang Lan back.

Fang Lan answered the call quickly, but the room she was in was very quiet. She whispered, "Wait a moment." Then she took the phone and walked out of the room.

When they got to the corridor, Fang Lan raised her voice: "Now it's okay, go ahead and talk."

Lin Chen asked: "How is Deji's situation now?"

Fang Lan replied, "At the Pozi Police Station, which is the closest to Deji Studio. The statement has been taken and we are waiting for the final notice. We may have to go back and wait. The key is that the money can no longer be recovered."

The address Fang Lan mentioned was the same as the one An Ran mentioned before. Lin Chen asked and confirmed that it was the same place.

Finally, Lin Chen said to Fang Lan, "An Ran also found me in the name of the military. It's the same thing. I'm trying to help find it. I'll let you know if there's any result."

Fang Lan was still very anxious: "Can Deji's money be recovered? This incident has dealt a heavy blow to her."

Lin Chen replied: "It depends on the situation. After we find the other party, most of the funds should be recoverable."

Lin Chen did not bear the cost of 200,000 US dollars alone, but shared the expense with the military. He regarded his share as an investment in his mood.

The system quickly presents the collected information on the screen, with the content being concise and to the point.

"Although the overseas fraud gang headed by Li Duoli's business is not in China, their work is divided into multiple sectors, specifically targeting different industries such as entertainment and medical care."

"Currently, the person in charge, Li Duoli, is in China, while the rest of the team members are gathered in Mingguo outside the southern border."

The system also attached two maps, one marking the scope and specific location of Li Duoli's activities in the country, and the other showing the gathering places of overseas gangs.

This is somewhat similar to Enron's previous undercover operation in a foreign fraud gang, but the difference is that Li Duoli's all-round move this time seems to be his final battle. He plans to go abroad and transfer the domestic area he controls to another fraud group for 12 billion yuan.

Once successful, almost all areas of China will be monopolized by this new fraud group.

After Lin Chen learned this information, he immediately sent it to An Ran's team.

Afterwards, Long Dafu, the director of Pozi Police Station, directly connected with Lin Chen.

"Boss Lin, we have received the message you sent and are now formulating a new deployment plan. We must not only control Li Duoli and his gang, but also destroy the other fraud group he is in contact with."

Lin Chen thought for a moment and responded: "It's not easy. Li Duoli is already transferring assets. Once he goes abroad, it will be too late."

The other party also sighed and said, "Yes, at present we do not have enough evidence to form a closed loop. Even if we detain him, we can only detain him for 24 hours based on the existing evidence. Moreover, once he loses contact with the outside world, he may be completely disconnected."

In distress, the other party asked Lin Chen: "We heard from Captain An that Boss Lin played a crucial role in the last crackdown of a major fraud group. So, I would like to ask Boss Lin if he has any more feasible plan this time?"

When asked this question, Lin Chen had to speak out what was in his mind.

"This matter cannot be delayed any longer. We should send people to known locations abroad and strengthen surveillance within the country. Both sides should carry out arrests at the same time. In this way, wouldn't the evidence form a closed loop?"

After hearing this, the other party nodded in approval: "What you said makes sense, but it is a bit difficult to implement. We need the assistance and cooperation of Boss Lin."

"Don't worry about that. Like last time, I will provide detailed and real-time target information. The rest is up to you."

"That's good. Let's start the deployment and arrangement." Long Dafu responded with a smile. They used the software sent by Lin Chen, and by switching different screens, they could effectively track the target person and team.

As the person in charge of the crackdown mainly targeting overseas gangs, An Ran has already set off with his team and is expected to arrive at the designated location in three hours.

The dozen members of the team were equipped with the mechanical outerwear that Lin Chen had developed and built before. On the surface, it was impossible to see any special equipment outside their daily clothes. But when they activated the battle preparation button, the mechanical outerwear would be revealed and function.

Lin Chen no longer cared much about this work. He knew that the people on the Chinese side were already quite skilled in handling related issues.

At this time, he was more focused on things at the space base.

He sorted out the new information and then called a meeting with base director Liu Cheng and other political leaders.

Lin Chen sat at the conference table and uploaded the information he knew about the U.S. spacecraft to the current display screen.

"According to the information I have learned so far, their large spacecraft will be completed soon. After completion, they will definitely conduct test flights and test our country. As for how our country will respond, I hope a decision can be made soon."

After hearing this, Director Liu Cheng asked the director next to him: "If this is the case, we also need to make a record."

The director quickly gave an action order: "Our research and development and construction plans are still confidential and cannot be disclosed to the outside world. This is the most basic thing."

With the director's words, both Liu Cheng and Lin Chen had a clear idea in their minds.

Liu Cheng was responsible for responding to media inquiries, while Lin Chen focused on the development of their current spacecraft.

After all, no new guidelines have been issued, so they just have to build according to the original plan.

Yuan Bowei, deputy chief engineer of Aerospace, came to Lin Chen with a series of documents and data, pointed to the current progress table and asked:
"At our current speed, if nothing unexpected happens, we will be one month behind the US. Do we need to make adjustments in this regard?"

Lin Chen answered decisively: "No. The leader has already said that there is no need to ask for too much time. The main thing is that the performance of the spacecraft must be strong enough to achieve the final goal."

After hearing this, everyone around him felt relieved and focused on dealing with the current situation, no longer competing with the United States and other countries in terms of progress.

In the office of the Spacecraft Construction Center of the Aviation Base of China, Lin Chen was concentrating on examining the latest batch of data, which was also the last batch of key data.

The experimental data was all normal, which meant that he was about to enter the direct inspection phase. Now with the cooperation of the aviation base team, Lin Chen's workload was greatly reduced.

He had put aside the satisfactory data, and only a few books of data were left to be reviewed, and the task was about to be completed.

At this moment, the cell phone vibrated slightly. This was a habit he had developed recently, changing the ringtone of his home phone to vibrate mode.

In the aerospace base, especially in his office area, the environment is relatively quiet, and setting it as a ringtone would seem a bit noisy.

The phone continued to vibrate, and the caller ID showed An Ran. Lin Chen pressed the answer button and asked, "An Ran, what's going on?"

An Ran said in a relaxed tone: "Li Duoli's problem has been solved. We have controlled him in China, and I have also arrested all the relevant personnel. This operation went smoothly, thanks to your help."

Lin Chen smiled and responded: "It's just a small effort. It's good that it can solve the problem. Is there any injury?"

"Haha, speaking of this, I have to talk about it in detail." An Ran was very interested, and Lin Chen had nothing to do at the moment, so he listened patiently.

"The mechanical suit played a key role. Those people had never seen such equipment before. When they attacked us, they thought they had encountered ghosts!"

This is indeed due to the mechanical suit's super defensive capabilities. Unless the wearer intentionally shows it, the naked eye of outsiders cannot see the existence of the mechanical suit at all.

Lin Chen understood it in his heart and could even imagine the scene at that time. He couldn't help but find it a little funny.

"It's good as long as the problem can be solved. In addition, can the money be recovered? I have a friend here who is more concerned about whether the money he was defrauded of can be recovered."

An Ran immediately replied: "The person has just been arrested, and further investigation is needed, but I believe it won't take long to confirm it."

"Well." Lin Chen understood the situation and said, "Then let's wait for news."

An Ran seemed to want to say something, but someone around her kept talking, diverting her attention. Amid the noise, An Ran hurriedly said to Lin Chen, "We are going to make a handover with the local authorities. We will contact you later."

An Ran quickly hung up the phone without waiting for Lin Chen's reply. Lin Chen also began to concentrate on checking the remaining documents on hand.

In the evening, he received a call from Fang Lan. Because of Deji's matter, Fang Lan had been busy and worried, as if the matter happened to her.

Fang Lan said on the phone with some frustration: "The man has been caught, but Deji's money cannot be recovered."

"Well, sometimes we encounter such situations and there is nothing we can do about it." Lin Chen comforted.

"Alas!" Fang Lan was still in low spirits. "She invested all the money she made from the last movie. It seems useless to say this now. All I can say is that everything has to start all over again."

In fact, Lin Chen has never been clear about why Deji was defrauded of his investment. He doesn’t know the specific details, but he understands that losing the money is a blow to Deji.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen said to Fang Lan, "Comfort Deji. This is not really starting from scratch. Her foundation is much better than when she was filming "Life and Death."

"Yeah, that's true." Fang Lan was very concerned about this matter, so she told Lin Chen on the phone how Deji was cheated.

It turned out that two people pretended to be a well-known entertainment company and wanted to cooperate with Deji in filming. All the documents were prepared very well. Deji contacted the other party many times and it took nearly half a month to finalize the cooperation. As one of the investors, Deji invested all his savings.

This kind of thing of defrauding others of their own interests under the name of a large company happens from time to time, but now it happens to people around them.

After listening to Fang Lan's story, Lin Chen could only comfort her. Finally, he said to Fang Lan: "We should always look forward."

He couldn't say more, and he was doing it for Fang Lan's sake. He was more concerned about Fang Lan's depressed mood.
