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

Chapter 550: We know each other well, and there is no need to negotiate conditions

Lin Chen also deeply felt the same way. The impact of this live broadcast can be felt from the audience's barrage. People always think that this is just a man-made plot, but in fact art really comes from life.

"This live broadcast has ended, and the publicity effect has been achieved. It can be considered that the mission has been successfully completed."

Lin Chen also felt that this was an important task assigned to him, and now that it was finally completed, he felt relieved.

He did not stay in the military for long and began to deal with other matters.

More people have flocked to Weibo. The last time there was a large influx, they hoped that Lin Chen would debut as an idol, but this time they all wanted to watch the next live broadcast.

After seeing the information on Weibo, Lin Chen also realized the impact of live streaming on the audience, but it was obviously unlikely for him to continue live streaming.

Regarding the attention and requests from netizens, Lin Chen thought about it and decided to send a message.

"Let me tell you, live streaming is not available every day, and it may not be available in the future. Just let it go and focus on the present."

After seeing Lin Chen’s Weibo, fans responded frantically.

"I'm sad, my expectations are dashed, and I'm devastated."

"Idol, what else are you good at? Please show us what you are good at!"

"I just want to ask you which field you want to develop in the future?"

"Let me reply to the above! Lin Chen has infinite possibilities."

Walton Multi-Purpose Combat Vehicle Research Center.
In the conference room, Miller, director of the research center, had a blank expression on his face. The room was not air-conditioned, but because of the leaders sent by the president, the atmosphere was particularly cold, making people particularly sober.

Next to Miller sat two researchers, and opposite him sat a commissioner sent by the president. The scene of the leader's inspection was made even more awkward by the playing of a short video clip.

Brunger was sent here by the president to solve relevant problems.

"I believe you have also watched the live broadcast of Huaxia's multi-functional combat vehicle. I just captured some clips. What do you think?"

Naturally, Brunjie would not let the researcher next to him speak. As a leader, he had to take responsibility.

“It’s definitely more shocking than what we developed!”

Blanger smiled when he heard this and said, "Is there nothing else to gain? As a first-class country, is this all we can do?"

"We have gained a lot," Miller said seriously. "What we lack is not technology, but imagination!"

These words attracted the attention of everyone present, not only Brunger, but also the researcher next to him showed surprise.

Boulanger suppressed his displeasure and said, "Go on."

"From the live broadcast, we can see that we can actually realize those functions, so it is not a technical problem, but a problem of imagination. Our ideas are too traditional."

Miller was about to say something else, but Brunger raised his hand to stop him.

"As the director of the Multi-Purpose Combat Vehicle R&D Center, you only talk about imagination, which makes me feel unrealistic."

Boulanger continued: "The live broadcast only showed part of the performance. We can learn about its further performance through foreign trade procurement. Do you really think it is just a matter of imagination?"

Boulanger's mention of foreign trade purchases means that they will learn some undisclosed capabilities of the multi-purpose combat vehicle.

Miller was puzzled and guessed that Boulanger might have mastered more information, and those undisplayed functions completely overturned his previous conclusions about imagination.

Just as he was stunned, Boulanger said, "As far as we know, his multi-purpose combat vehicle has many undisplayed functions, one of which is the medium-range missile."

After these words were spoken, Miller and the researchers beside him were speechless for a moment.

It seems redundant for them to add medium-range missiles to combat vehicles, after all, all functions have costs.

Miller immediately retorted: "If the funds are available, we can also install it, so this is not an essential problem!"

He understood that the people sent by the higher-ups were here to find fault. Now that the problem had occurred, these people would just scold and punish him and then leave, and that would be considered the mission accomplished. Those who stayed would have to clean up the mess.

Boulanger chuckled, pushed the file back, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Take a look!"

Miller opened the file doubtfully and found that it contained information and quotations on China's multi-purpose combat vehicles.

The official speed was really fast, and he noticed that the quotation was even lower than his construction cost, and he felt heavy-hearted.

He looked at Brunger in disbelief, and Brunger nodded in confirmation: "It's true, it's true. How can we compete with China?"

At this moment, Miller was speechless, and the feeling of frustration made him too embarrassed to speak.

Brunger pointed at the screen and said, "This Lin Chen is a Chinese talent. The president hopes that our country will have such talents as well."

With that, he ended the meeting.

Miller realized that he needed to recruit new researchers, but he didn't know that the president was planning to poach Chinese talents to the United States at a high price.

China.

In the study room of Building 3 in Zuiwengzhiyi, Linhai District, Lin Chen was drawing a sketch when he received a call from Logan.

"Boss Lin! I'm Logan."

"Mr. Logan, I know about this, is there a new cooperation project?"

Logan hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone and said, "Yes, but he is not working with me. He wants to introduce you to someone who wants to work with you."

Lin Chen put down the pen in his hand and became serious: "Can you tell me in detail?"

He was already alert in his mind. If equipment was needed, Logan could act as the middleman and there was no need to involve others. This was something that needed to be paid attention to in the business world.

Before Logan could say anything, Lin Chen had already guessed a possibility, that this person was someone with whom Logan must get a piece of the pie, or even someone he needed to get close to, and this should be a senior U.S. official.

Lin Chen's conversation with Logan is still going on.
In response to the questions raised by Lin Chen, Logan began to explain in detail and seriously.

"To be honest, this time it was a high-level US envoy who found me. They have learned about your abilities and are interested in cooperating with you."

Lin Chen understood his current situation even without Logan's explanation.

Being Walton's largest arms supplier doesn't mean you can control everything. Even if you have strong connections, you still have to cooperate when faced with tasks assigned by high-level envoys.

But Lin Chen didn't care about it. He said directly to Logan on the other end of the phone: "I already know your information. It's up to me to decide whether to meet or cooperate with them. Let them find someone else."

Logan hummed and said, "Boss Lin, anyway, I don't want these things to affect our cooperation."

At this moment, Logan did not want the affairs of the US senior officials to affect his cooperation with Lin Chen. His desire to survive was fully revealed.

Lin Chen smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Logan, we have been working together for a long time and we know each other well. I also appreciate having a partner like you. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

As for whether Logan would use his name to work for the US military in the future, that was a follow-up issue, and Lin Chen would not mention it too much at this moment. He just had to make sure that he would not directly contact and cooperate with the US top brass.

After the call, Logan sat at his desk with a frown on his face. It took him a while to come back to his senses and decide to call his father Xavier.

He wanted to see if he had handled the matter properly.

On the Chinese side.

After Lin Chen hung up the phone, he fell into deep thought. Since the United States has put pressure on Logan through high-level officials, it means that they will have other actions in the future.

Although he is reluctant to admit it, Lin Chen knows that he currently has the ability to develop and build some equipment, and is a talent that many countries are eager to obtain.

The United States will definitely take some action later, and we need to be prepared.

Two days later, Lin Chen had just returned to Building 3 of Zuiwengzhiyi from the Linhai Military Region when he saw a familiar figure.

Logan was walking from a distance, followed by two other people, all wearing well-fitting suits. In this relatively hot weather, Lin Chen felt that it was not quite appropriate.

But the other party just appeared in front of Lin Chen in order to show formality.

Logan shrugged, opened his arms and said to Lin Chen: "I came here uninvited! I can only rely on my old face."

In order to bring people here, he had already disregarded his own face, because the last phone call made him realize that it was impossible to make an appointment to meet with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Logan still has some face. Let's find a place to sit down and talk!"

Of course he would not bring anyone home, but it was not surprising that these people could find his residence. After all, he had never deliberately hidden his residence.

However, after experiencing this incident, Lin Chen also began to consider moving to another place so that others would find it difficult to find him.

He put these thoughts aside for the time being and focused his main energy on the three people in front of him.

Logan introduced the two people who came with him, one was Boulanger and the other was Boulanger's partner Cook.

Lin Chen did not take them to any private place, but went to a teahouse and sat by the window in the hall.

Brunger and Cook tried their best to maintain polite expressions on their faces and sat opposite Lin Chen.

Now that both parties know each other's identities, there is naturally no need for pleasantries or beating around the bush.

Logan didn't say much. He was just a middleman and tried his best to avoid taking sides in order not to offend the other party.

Brunger had previously learned about Lin Chen from videos and other materials, but now that he had met him in person, he discovered that Lin Chen was more capable and independent-minded than he had imagined. He was worried that this conversation might not go smoothly.

Brunger was very patient with talents. He took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Lin, we already know your abilities, whether it was the previous robot competition or the recent multi-purpose tank live broadcast."

Lin Chen nodded slightly to show that he understood.

Boulanger continued, "We in the United States have always cherished talents, and we will definitely give sufficient respect and the best treatment to the talents we recognize."

"I think all countries attach great importance to talents."

"But there are still differences in the degree of importance. No matter which cooperation model is adopted, we hope that Mr. Lin can consider us."

Lin Chen just smiled, glanced at Logan beside him, and said, "I'm used to working with acquaintances."

The premise of cooperation with acquaintances obviously forced Lin Chen to choose between Logan and Brunger. This time it was really a choice between the two.
Brunger understood Lin Chen's intention. He came here to persuade Lin Chen, and naturally expected to encounter obstacles. It was not easy to recruit such a talent easily.

He did not waste any more words on this matter, but retreated to advance, and said to Lin Chen with a smile:

"Mr. Lin, we will have many opportunities to communicate in the future, and we will stay in China for a while. I hope Mr. Lin can consider it this time, and we will contact each other later."

Lin Chen nodded slightly without saying anything, watching Brunger and Cook get up and prepare to leave. At this time, Logan said, "Boss Lin and I haven't seen each other for a long time. I stayed to catch up with him."

The two men agreed readily, said goodbye to Lin Chen and left.

At this time, only Lin Chen and Logan were left in the teahouse.

Lin Chen changed direction and sat opposite Logan. He knew that Logan must have something to say if he stayed, and he also had something to say.

Logan shrugged and smiled: “Boss Lin, I hope you understand.”

"What aspect does Mr. Logan mean?"

"I am just acting as a referral. In fact, even without me, they can still find you, Boss Lin."

Lin Chen agreed with this, but that didn't mean he had to approve of it.

Lin Chen said seriously: "I understand what Mr. Logan said, but I really have no intention of cooperating with them. I also hope that Mr. Logan can convey my true thoughts. There is no room for negotiation on this matter."

Logan also put away the smile on his face and treated the matter as an extremely serious matter.

He lowered his voice and said to Lin Chen: "Boss Lin, I know that you have extraordinary abilities that are beyond the reach of ordinary people, but you also have to know that since they can understand your movements, they also know a lot about your past."

Logan said seriously, and Lin Chen's expression was also serious. He smiled and said, "Is this a threat?"

"It can't be considered a threat. It just means that they really want talents like you to work with them."

"I think I understand what you mean. They already have a complete grasp of my past and present situation, and they are using it to blackmail me."

Logan didn't say anything else, basically agreeing with Lin Chen's statement.

Lin Chen looked at Logan and finally shook his head: "Then let's wait and see. Even though they claim to know everything about me, it doesn't mean there is room for negotiation. There is no room for negotiation on the terms."

"Why is that? What if they can offer a higher price?"

Lin Chen looked at Logan with some disappointment: "Mr. Logan, you should know what the normal mode of cooperation with me is, so I definitely make a lot of money, and I will never set the price arbitrarily. Do you know what this means?"

Logan also laughed at this time. How could he not understand? Lin Chen was not short of money. If he wanted to make more money, it was just a matter of thought.

So the problem is not about money, but about psychology and the country's stance.

But this does not mean that there are no flaws on Lin Chen's side. Logan does not force anything. He also decides to go back and discuss it carefully before continuing with the follow-up matters.

He extended his hand and said, “I hope this will not affect our subsequent cooperation.”

Lin Chen also stretched out his hand and shook his hand: "Of course."

Business is business, but the United States represented by Brunger and Cook is another matter.

Logan left. Lin Chen sat at the original tea table for a few minutes and then stood up to leave.
