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

Chapter 543 Lin Chen is being investigated by fans

Next, he will carry out differentiated upgrades for different air defense missiles.

Although the missiles that had previously completed ordinary upgrades could intercept low-altitude targets, they could not avoid the missile warhead exploding after landing.

To solve this problem, Lin Chen decided to discuss with Logan first when he was conceiving a new round of upgrade plans.

At that time, Logan had just hung up the phone in the office. Hearing that Lin Chen was coming, he ignored other matters at hand and hurried out to greet him.

"If there is any work arrangement, just tell me directly. You don't have to make a special trip. A phone call will do." Logan said to Lin Chen sincerely.

Lin Chen responded, "This matter is more important, and we can talk about it face to face more clearly. I want to concentrate all the upgraded functions on one air defense missile, which will make it easier for you to sell it in bulk." This is a brand new proposal, and whether it can be implemented in the end depends on Logan's attitude.

Logan thought for a moment and said, "In that case, we need to screen the various features. There is no need to add all the functions."

Lin Chen nodded in agreement, then took out the display screen: "I have listed the performance that needs to be enhanced, all here. Take a look, if there is no problem, follow this plan."

This solution is beneficial to both parties. For Lin Chen, there is no need to modify different missiles separately. The unified standard can greatly improve work efficiency; for Logan, it is also more conducive to product promotion.

Logan took over the display and carefully looked at the upgrade items listed by Lin Chen. The upgraded air defense missiles can not only defend against low-altitude targets, but also have the ability to intercept single missiles in the middle and high altitude areas.

Seeing this, Logan couldn't help but be a little surprised. When he continued to check other performance, he was even more shocked and said, "You actually replaced the booster engine?"

"That's right. The new main propulsion engine can significantly improve the flight performance of the missile, increasing the maximum flight speed from 600 meters per second to 800 meters, and the range can exceed 8,000 meters." Lin Chen explained to Logan while pointing at the screen, and then opened another drop-down menu.

Only then did Logan discover that the newly upgraded system used laser semi-active guidance, which made it easier to operate and the equipment lighter.

After seeing this series of performance improvements, Logan exclaimed: "The performance of this upgraded system has surpassed that of most countries and is basically comparable to the products of developed countries."

Lin Chen answered affirmatively: "That's right."

"What about the price? You know, these products of mine are recycled, and most of my customers have limited budgets." Logan asked worriedly.

Lin Chen understood his concerns and simply clicked the OK button on the screen, and the quote appeared immediately.

After seeing the price, Logan's mouth corners unconsciously raised: "Okay, let's temporarily decide on this plan. I will send the upgrade plan to the customers to see. If they approve, we will officially start it." Lin Chen agreed and left the office with the display screen.

At this moment, Logan's mind was full of the offer he had just seen - only two million US dollars.

Judging from the performance demonstrated by Lin Chen, air defense missiles with similar performance on the market would cost at least tens of millions.

This means that after completing this upgrade, he will not only make a lot of money, but his products will also sell better.

Logan did not delay at all and immediately sent the upgrade plan provided by Lin Chen to the target customers.

Two hours later, he received a confirmed order, and the order quantity far exceeded expectations. Excited, Logan called Lin Chen immediately: "Boss Lin, that's great! Everyone is optimistic about the upgraded version, and the order volume has been increasing. The existing inventory is simply not enough."

"You mean I can start working now?" Lin Chen asked, and then added, "Remember to transfer the money. I will upgrade as much as you transfer."

"No problem! Transfer it right away!" Logan agreed readily, and then transferred all the upgrade costs of the remaining 189 missiles to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen glanced at the newly arrived amount and then got down to work.

The cooperation with Logan this time was extremely profitable. Logan was around Lin Chen all day long, taking great care of him, making the assistant next to him seem to have nothing to do.

When he saw Logan again, Lin Chen noticed that he was holding a password box in his hand.

At this time, Lin Chen had finished all the work here and was preparing to return to China, and Logan came here just to see him for the last time before he left.

Logan was the first to break the silence: "Boss Lin, let me be honest. If it weren't for your help, this batch of goods would be just scrap metal taking up space, and I would have to pay to maintain it." Lin Chen had heard a little about the situation of this batch of air defense missiles, so he naturally understood Logan's feelings.

He waved his hand casually: "This is a mutually beneficial business, so there's no need to be polite." As he spoke, Logan had walked to Lin Chen's side, watched him pack his luggage, and put the safe aside.

"This is specially prepared for you. I hope Mr. Lin will accept it!" Logan said as he neatly opened the password box. "The password is four zeros. It's a small gift, not a token of respect!" Having dealt with clients from various countries for many years, Logan is well versed in the languages ​​and customs of different countries. This authentic "Please accept it" is the best proof of this.

Lin Chen looked at the neatly stacked U.S. dollars in the box, then turned to look at Logan with a puzzled look in his eyes: "What does this mean?"

"This is a small token of our appreciation for your help during this period," Logan explained.

Lin Chen raised his hand to close the password box, with a firm attitude: "There is really no need. I have already received the compensation I deserve. Save this money for future cooperation." Logan stared at Lin Chen for a moment, and finally smiled and nodded to show his understanding.

"Yes, with Boss Lin's strength, he is naturally not short of this little money. It seems that you really value our cooperation, and I am looking forward to working together again next time." After that, Lin Chen did not stay for too long and soon set off to return to China.

Two days later, an international news quickly swept the screen, sparking heated discussions around the world. Lin Chen naturally saw the news: in the picture, a national flag was particularly eye-catching, and the anti-aircraft missile standing next to it was the one that Lin Chen participated in upgrading, and the country was the small African country of Nevis. The news title was still objective, but the comment section had already exploded.

"Did you notice? Weiss successfully intercepted a missile! Although the warhead exploded on the ground in the end, fortunately no one was injured. For this small country, it is already a remarkable achievement!"

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that someone must be funding this behind the scenes, Weiss." "Maybe they developed it themselves, or bought advanced weapons?"

"I'm more curious whether Weiss and Nata will go to war because of this!"

"Just look at this anti-aircraft missile. Weiss is really showing off this time!"

"Someone checked and found out that they only spent 800,000 US dollars to get this anti-aircraft missile. This is too cheap! Which arms dealer did this? Isn't this a disguised form of funding?"

There were many different opinions on the Internet, but the people who were actually involved in this matter were surprisingly calm. Lin Chen had a lot of important matters to deal with, so he didn't have the time to pay attention to the online debate. After all, the more people knew about the inside story, the less interested they were in the news.

At this time, the movie in which Lin Chen made a cameo appearance was officially released. Fang Lan's previous works were all TV series. In comparison, this movie, which she invested in and wrote, was released in theaters, which had a completely different meaning. Naturally, she attached great importance to it. So, she dragged Lin Chen with her, intending to disguise herself as an ordinary audience member to go to the theater to watch the movie.

Seeing Fang Lan wrapped up tightly, with a cap, sunglasses and a mask, Lin Chen took off his sunglasses and cap without saying a word. Fang Lan saw this and quickly stopped him: "Why are you taking them off?"

"After seeing your outfit, I know how conspicuous I am now. Just wear a mask as a token of your respect."

Fang Lan curled her lips: "Wouldn't it be just as conspicuous if I just wore a mask?"

"It's different! I just said that I have allergic rhinitis, and wearing a mask is to protect against dust and odor irritation, which is reasonable." Lin Chen argued, refusing to make any more unnecessary disguises. In the end, the two wore couple masks and went to a nearby cinema.

Watching a movie among ordinary audiences is completely different from the experience of internal film review. After the movie started, the whole audience gradually quieted down. Lin Chen and Fang Lan were full of anticipation. While waiting for the content of the film to unfold, they paid attention to the reactions of the audience around them.

Lin Chen and Fang Lan sat in the fourth row of seats in the theater, surrounded by couples of moviegoers, some sweetly cuddling, and some girlfriends who came together. In such an atmosphere, the two of them blended in and did not seem abrupt.

The plot of the movie is progressing in an orderly manner. In this love-themed movie, the misunderstanding between the male and female protagonists gradually unfolds. At this moment, Lin Chen's cameo role is about to appear. The previously released movie trailer did not reveal the specific time of Lin Chen's appearance. The audience can only roughly guess it based on the plot clues when watching the movie in the theater.

When the male and female protagonists arrived at the dinner and looked at the exquisite scenery, the audience knew that Lin Chen would appear in this scene. The young girl sitting on the left of Lin Chen came to watch the movie with her bestie. When they saw the movie screen switch to this scene, the two immediately started discussing excitedly in a low voice.

"Wow! Lin Chen is about to appear! God, please give him more roles!"

"This scene is so touching. I really hope the heroine can be with Lin Chen!"

"Don't dream, the male and female protagonists of the movie have already been decided. In my opinion, Lin Chen and the female supporting role are a perfect match. One is a handsome and wealthy bachelor, and the other is a beautiful and popular female star. What a perfect match."

Their conversation came to an abrupt end, because the character played by Lin Chen officially appeared on the big screen. For a moment, the entire theater was no longer quiet, and the audience's discussions came one after another. Although the scene was a little noisy, everyone was immersed in the heated discussion of the plot and didn't care about the voices of others.

Taking advantage of this lively atmosphere, Fang Lan quietly held Lin Chen's hand, leaned slightly closer, and whispered in his ear: "What do you think if the girlfriend of the diamond bachelor is not a female star, but a female editor?"

Lin Chen raised the corner of his mouth and jokingly said, "Shouldn't it be a female investor?"

Fang Lan sighed softly and said, "Look at everyone's reaction. If you were as popular as Lin Chen, this movie would definitely be a bigger hit at the box office."

"But look at it now. Even if I'm not the big star Lin Chen, isn't this movie still very attractive?" Lin Chen responded. Fang Lan nodded in agreement, secretly glad that the decision to invite Lin Chen to guest star was a wise one.

After the movie ended, the audience was still immersed in the plot and reluctant to leave. Everyone was discussing enthusiastically, and the topic not only revolved around the ups and downs of the plot, but also extended to the wonderful performances of various supporting roles.

In front of Lin Chen and Fang Lan, a conversation between a couple caught their attention. The boy said with emotion: "It's been a long time since I saw a movie with such an excellent plot and actors. The creative team must have put a lot of thought into it."

The girl also agreed, "Yeah, at first I thought everyone came here for Lin Chen, but I didn't expect the plot to be so exciting. It seems that Lin Chen's popularity attracted the audience to the theater, but the high quality of the movie itself really kept everyone."

Lin Chen and Fang Lan, who were walking behind, heard the conversation carefully. They smiled at each other and walked faster. After leaving the theater, Fang Lan could not hide her joy and said to Lin Chen: "I gained a lot from watching the movie live this time. The audience's feedback is more intuitive and more valuable than the comments on the Internet."

"Both online and offline reviews are important, and comprehensive reference will provide a more comprehensive picture," Lin Chen said. Seeing Fang Lan's excited face, he also became happy.

Afterwards, the two went to a restaurant for dinner. Lin Chen was busy with work affairs. He looked up by chance and found Fang Lan smiling at the screen of her mobile phone. Noticing Lin Chen's gaze, Fang Lan immediately turned her phone to him. On the screen was a popular post about Lin Chen.

"Just take a look! The popularity of the movie has soared since its release. At this rate, the box office will definitely continue to rise!" Fang Lan said excitedly.

Lin Chen carefully read the comments in the post, and then he understood why Fang Lan was so happy. However, he also found a problem: as the movie became popular, fans began to dig deep into the backgrounds of the actors, and Lin Chen's unique resume became the focus of everyone's attention.

“An investor who doesn’t want to be a professor is not a good actor.”

"As a new fan, I finally understand why everyone is looking forward to Lin Chen's debut. With these conditions, if he enters the entertainment industry, other male stars will be eclipsed."

"Lin Chen already has all the fame and fortune that other stars desperately pursue. As soon as he debuted, he stood at a height that others only dream of."

Similar comments were overwhelming, and Lin Chen was a little helpless and stopped reading. Only he knew that everything he had now was not achieved overnight, and he also worked hard from the bottom step by step.

Since the film was released, Fang Lan has been very busy all day. At the same time, Lin Chen also had to rush back to the factory to prepare for the re-employment training of laid-off workers in the urban pipeline network. After he had finally sorted out some of the information, a call from an unfamiliar number interrupted his busy schedule.

Lin Chen answered the phone, and a standard English greeting came from the receiver: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Lin Chen?"

"Which one?"
