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

Chapter 518: Anfia Returns
Seeing that there was no special change on Liu Dingcang's face, Lin Chen continued to add: "For this contract, I want to calculate it according to our previous cooperation method, that is, to pay the fee in advance. After all, we all have a rough understanding of its cost."

Starting from the previous projects, they signed a contract and the funds were allocated by the government, and Lin Chen's expenses were paid from the funds. But this time, Lin Chen changed a new method and waited for Liu Dingcang's response.

Liu Dingcang was also shocked after hearing this. He originally thought that Lin Chen would make some kind of request, but he didn't expect it to be something he had no say in.

However, he was not too worried about this problem. He laughed and said, "Why do you suddenly want to use this method? Wasn't the previous contract very convenient? And we have never owed you any fees."

"That's true, but I don't want to use that method anymore. If you must ask the reason, it's my personal business habit. I'm used to charging first." Lin Chen said firmly.

He has thought carefully about this matter and will not make any special concessions.

Liu Dingcang said: "I will report this matter and give you a reply as soon as possible. Is that ok with you?"

"Okay." Lin Chen smiled easily and accepted Liu Dingcang's proposal.

Now that they have talked to this extent, there is no need to do anything else.

Lin Chen returned to the space command center, while Liu Dingcang returned to his headquarters to ask his superiors for instructions on how to respond next.

At this time, Lin Chen saw the situation displayed on the big screen of the space center and found that there was only one Union robot left.

The others have been completely controlled by China's robots and cannot do anything to harm anyone.

"This battle took them a lot of time, which is beyond my plan." Lin Chen said to himself.

Commander Chen, who was standing nearby, heard this and said, “This is beyond my expectation. I never thought that robots could solve robot problems. So, how much higher can you ask for? This is already very good!”

His words were echoed by more engineers nearby. Lin Chen looked at the big screen and knew that the effects that everyone was pursuing were not at the same level.

Less than a minute later, the Unity robot was completely controlled and stuffed into a specific space, which would return to Earth with the astronauts.

The live broadcast stopped at the scene where many astronauts celebrated with the Huaxia International Robot.

The people from China also applauded, and they stood up and looked at Lin Chen with admiration.

At the American Space Agency, Vanel made no effort to hide his anger, venting it directly to everyone present.

The final scene of the robot battle was still playing on the big screen. It was a picture of the astronauts warmly embracing the Chinese robots. It should have been a moment of celebration, but he found it extremely ironic.

He pointed at the screen and said to everyone, "Did you see that? We lost miserably in every stage, especially when their robots defeated our robots. It was even more obvious!"

He gritted his teeth and spitted. If it were any other time, someone might have teased him in private, but at this moment, everyone was silent, standing there like children who had made a mistake, and no one spoke.

Vanel watched this scene and continued, "I need you to try every possible way, every link, to find a way to turn this situation around so that we can be the number one we deserve!"

Reversing the outcome when the outcome is already clear is a difficult task for everyone.

However, in front of Vanel, they dared not make any rebuttal.

After the meeting, everyone left quickly, and only one person stayed. He had something to say to Vanel.

Seeing that the room was empty, he suggested: "Although it is very difficult, there is still room for maneuver. Since the intelligent robots will have problems, we can attack Huaxia based on this point, which should be effective."

After hearing what he said, Vanel calmed down a little and nodded in agreement: "This is just one of the steps. We can't put all our hopes on something that may not necessarily be in our favor."

"Of course, in addition to intelligence, we will also arrange other things to advance at the same time."

"In that case, prepare all the plans. I will go to other departments for coordination."

Vanel is well aware of the importance of public opinion, so he plans to launch an attack on China's robots at the public opinion level.

The attack began a day later, forcing China to respond head-on.

When Commander Chen found Lin Chen, there was still an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Have you heard? Some countries, led by America, have begun to jointly attack our robots' intelligence issues. Although we know what is going on, they have already controlled the direction of public opinion."

Lin Chen nodded: "I understand, but this is not something we should worry about. There are special departments to deal with this."

Commander Chen showed an indescribable smile on his face, and finally said: "This task has fallen on the shoulders of us astronauts."

Due to the problem with the Ameri robot, Lin Chen has stayed in the space base for several more days, and now they have arranged a new task for him.

Lin Chen was somewhat helpless: "Then go and make arrangements!"

What he thought was that this kind of thing should be handled by professionals and there was no need to bring it upon himself.

However, Commander Chen refused to leave and instead sat next to Lin Chen.

"Regarding matters concerning robots, you have the most say and you know the most. So I'm thinking that it would be better if you come forward."

This is a task assigned by the upper level. It seems simple on the surface and can be solved by just holding a press conference.

Obviously, Commander Chen did not understand Lin Chen's situation and took the initiative to invite Lin Chen to attend the press conference.

Lin Chen frowned slightly and said, "Old Chen! The engineers here are very familiar with the technical issues. If you need my help to improve something, I'm happy to participate, but I won't attend the press conference."

Commander Chen didn't understand. Usually Lin Chen was easy to talk to, so why was he so stubborn this time?

Just when he was confused, Lin Chen said, "Let me tell you something!"

"You said."

Commander Chen adopted a posture and expression that showed he was listening attentively.

"Because I can develop some things, I have been hunted down many times!"

Lin Chen said this lightly, but he saw the expression on Commander Chen's face change from confusion to surprise, then to horror, and finally to disbelief.

"what?"

Commander Chen only made this sound for a long time, and then he realized that maybe Lin Chen was just joking.

At this time, Lin Chen nodded, and he could no longer doubt and believed what Lin Chen said.

Commander Chen said in a low, hoarse voice, "I didn't think it through."

Lin Chen smiled and responded: "It's nothing, isn't it good enough that you know now? So if you need me, I will come forward to explain it to you, but there is no need to show up in person."

"Yes, of course."

Commander Chen knew that many of their senior engineers were targets that many countries might try to contact, but he didn't expect Lin Chen to be so special that he was the target of assassination. He continued to ask, "Wouldn't it be more dangerous for you to be alone?"

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "Fortunately, there are not many of them now, I can still handle it."

China's space press conference was held as usual. The participants had already prepared themselves mentally, knowing that they would face a variety of questions from many foreign media.

Lin Chen did not attend the press conference, but was in the conference room, preparing to sign a contract with Liu Dingcang.

In the conference room, six people sat around the conference table. Lin Chen sat at one end of the table, and the other five sat opposite him.

The person next to Liu Dingcang spoke first: "Boss Lin, our plan is to pay a part of the deposit first, and then pay the balance after the robot is accepted."

Lin Chen looked at Liu Dingcang and said with a smile: "Are you serious?"

The person who originally spoke paused for a moment and continued, "After all, this is not a small amount, so we still need to communicate again and both sides should take a step back."

Lin Chen did not say anything else, and the conference room was filled with silence. Liu Dingcang finally said to Lin Chen: "Boss Lin, what do you think of the proposal just now?"

"Commander Liu, I have made it very clear before that you must pay first."

"But space robots are different from other items. The cost of manufacturing them is very high. Currently, there is no such trading method as you mentioned."

“If there is none, we can create one.”

"Why do we have to insist on this method? Didn't we have a pleasant cooperation before? There was no problem with the previous payment method."

Lin Chen smiled faintly: "I also remember that our previous cooperation was very smooth, but I can't forget the original transaction principles just because I agreed to your payment method once or twice."

The person sitting next to Liu Dingcang wanted to say something, but Liu Dingcang raised his hand to stop him.

"Okay, let's do as Boss Lin said. Boss Lin, please take a look at the contract."

Then, another contract was brought out. In this matter, Lin Chen could understand the other party's desire to negotiate, but it did not mean that things would develop in the direction the other party expected.

Lin Chen took the contract and found that the content was indeed consistent with what he had previously agreed on, so he signed the contract decisively.

The contract clearly stipulates that ten space robots must be delivered within one month, which is also the time requirement proposed by Lin Chen himself.

Both parties took their own copy of the contract. Liu Dingcang stretched out his hand and Lin Chen shook it.

"It's a pleasure working with you!" said Lin Chen.

Liu Dingcang smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you! Then we will wait for good news from Boss Lin!"

Liu Dingcang and the people he brought left first. Lin Chen still had some finishing work to do at the space base, so he stayed.

The person following Liu Dingcang asked after walking a little further away: "Commander, why don't you continue the discussion? Why did you agree to his conditions so easily?"

"Do you know why I brought two contracts? In fact, when I came here, I was mentally prepared to agree to his conditions. You also saw his attitude just now, so of course I have to follow his wishes."

"Why is he so special? He can put forward such harsh conditions."

Liu Dingcang stopped and said, "One person can make ten space robots in a month. Isn't it worth paying in advance?"

The people around him stopped talking. They knew that the technology that Lin Chen mastered was invaluable, and perhaps they were already accustomed to Lin Chen's research and development and creative abilities, so they wanted to negotiate some terms.

When the man thought of this, he suddenly realized that perhaps Lin Chen also realized this, so he insisted on collecting the payment before shipping the goods no matter what.

Thinking about it this way, I feel that Lin Chen is even more different.

Lin Chen stayed in the conference room and did not come out because there were more important things to deal with.

The system's progress bar has undergone new changes, and only the last 10% is left for a successful upgrade.

The signing of the contract just now seemed to have had an impact on this, causing the progress bar to move up a lot.

The system prompt sounded: "The research and development and upgrade of the space robot has been completed, and a 10% progress reward is given."

"Will the final 10% be achieved after ten space robots are shipped?"

"In theory, this is the case, but it depends on whether there are new upgrades and creations."

Lin Chen closed the system interface and felt that the remaining things had become much simpler.

Thinking that the system could be successfully upgraded in just one month, he felt that victory was in sight.

Lin Chen, in a happy mood, walked out of the conference room humming a song and went straight to the space control center to look for someone.

Commander Chen was about to leave when he saw Lin Chen. After greeting him, he made way for Lin Chen and let him in.

Lin Chen did not go in, but said to Commander Chen: "My mission has been completed. I came here just to tell you that I am leaving."

"Didn't you say it would be three days later?" This was the notice Commander Chen had received before.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "The plan has changed, so we have to leave now."

"Then I have to see you off."

Lin Chen waved his hand quickly: "No need to be so grand, no one should go to see me off. I just attended a meeting and have already said hello to everyone else. I'll just say hello to you and leave."

Faced with the fact that Lin Chen was about to leave, Commander Chen felt a little reluctant, after all, they had been working together for so long.

"Then come and visit often when you have time." Commander Chen said with a hearty laugh, easing the depressing atmosphere.

Lin Chen didn't expect the atmosphere to turn out like this. He smiled and said, "No need to be so sentimental. There will be many opportunities to meet each other in the future. This is not a life-and-death separation."

Lin Chen felt a little melancholy when he left the space base. It was almost dusk and the host on the radio was talking about the traffic conditions during the evening rush hour.

Lin Chen glanced at the road ahead, which seemed too empty, so he reached out and pressed the red button on the console, and the car slowly rose into the air under the power.

As the altitude increases, the view becomes different. The originally wide road now seems much narrower, and the sky seems darker.

If someone saw Lin Chen's car from a distance, they might mistakenly think it was a UFO passing through the sky and disappearing into the horizon at an astonishing speed.

The Nancheng Aerospace Military Base is far away from the city center, so there is no need to worry about the evening rush hour problem mentioned on the radio.

At this time, Fang Lan's exclusive ringtone rang, and Lin Chen said, "Answer it."
