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

Chapter 371 I can’t do it!

The little penguin looked at Fang Lan's slender back with a smile, shook his head and said, "What a pity, another eye-opener."

Fang Lan handed the note to the Finance Department, received her last salary, and then said goodbye to her colleagues one by one. Ellis was the most reluctant to leave, after all, they often played together.

"The office will be a lot quieter when you leave." Ellis said to Fang Lan with his big innocent eyes.

"Haha, you like me so much? Why don't you just marry me?" Fang Lan said with a smile.

The colleagues burst into laughter. Ellis pinched her in pretend anger and said with a smile: "I'll kill you! Then I'll freeze you and make ice cream."

"What a wild idea! I don't understand it." Fang Lan laughed, patted Ellis' shoulder, fluttered her right hand like a bird flapping its wings, and said, "Let's go! Keep in touch when you have time."

When she walked out of the house, Lin Chen's Tesla was waiting there. Fang Lan got in the car and fastened her seat belt with a smile.

"Deji said he would wait for me at Peninsula Coffee, the one next to Powerlong Center." Fang Lan said with a smile.

"Okay, miss, please sit down." Lin Chen imitated the rickshaw driver's tone and started the car.

Before Fang Lan could smile, her face was distorted by the rushing wind. It turned out that there was no one on this road. Lin Chen activated Tesla's crazy mode, accelerating from rest to 100 meters per second in just 0.3 seconds.

At that moment, Fang Lan seemed to experience the feeling of an astronaut ascending to the sky. Her body seemed to turn into a piece of paper in an instant, losing her consciousness and autonomous awareness, as if she could be manipulated at will, and even had a sense of "the elephant is invisible".

But soon the feeling ended.

Fang Lan's consciousness slowly returned, her heart beating wildly. She took a deep breath, blinked, moved her body, and made sure everything was normal.

"Haha." Lin Chen realized her reaction, laughed, and then slowed down the car.

At the University of Southern California in Silicon Valley, the project manager's office for the aircraft project has square wooden panels in bright yellow and light brown. The windows have sliding blinds, the floor is covered with plush carpet, and a large brown desk is placed by the window.

Lan Yifu and Qu Xian of the Sacred Heart sat on one side of the desk, and on the other side sat a black woman in a white uniform with a serious look on her face.

"You suggest the government give up?" the black woman asked coldly, as if interrogating a prisoner. "Do you know that this is an order from the Pentagon? This is related to national security!"

"The success or failure of an airplane won't affect national security, right?" Lan Yifu said cautiously, blinking his eyes.

"What the manager said makes sense." Qu Xian of the Sacred Heart said seriously, although his tone sounded like he was joking. "The explosion of the two atomic bombs directly brought fear to the Sakura Country, causing them to surrender in the war. This had a decisive impact on the national security of the United States."

“That’s right.” The black woman nodded and smiled, as if she understood the joke. “So, the success or failure of this project is indeed crucial. Although we are not in wartime and it is not as destructive as an atomic bomb, it is just as important. Giving up easily is not an option.”

"But Boss, we really can't do it!" Lan Yifu shrugged, spread his hands and said helplessly, "We have studied for a long time, but we can't find any way to achieve this technology. It is not difficult to make an airplane that looks the same, because its prototype is an existing airplane. However, after China's miraculous modification, we are completely confused."

"If you fail to complete the task, your salary will be reduced. Aren't you worried?" the black woman began to exert pressure.

"Boss, just cut my salary." Lan Yifu frowned and answered frankly, "To use a line from a popular Chinese TV series, 'I really can't do it.'"

The black woman turned to look at the Sacred Heart Qu Xian, who nodded and said seriously, “Unless God grants us magical powers, I am sure that it is absolutely impossible to achieve this with the current level of technology on this planet.”

Qu Xian and Lan Yifu are considered the top researchers in the field of aircraft technology in the United States, and their research laboratories are also top-notch. Since they both said they were powerless, Niu Er could only lose his temper in the office and then let it go.

Niu Er's angry voice in the office was overheard by a teacher in the corridor. The teacher was from a nearby school and came to discuss with the director of the Pentagon's office whether he could bring his students to visit.

The corridor was empty. The teacher could only hear Niu Er's roar but could not see anyone. At that moment, he suddenly felt strange. It was as if he was not in the crowded Pentagon, but in a remote village with only a madman in the village, talking to himself and shouting in the house.

This strange feeling immediately made the teacher give up the idea of ​​taking the students on a tour, and he quickly left the Pentagon.

At The Peninsula Café.

Lin Chen parked the car and walked into the coffee shop with Fang Lan.

In the elegant environment, the "Miri Diori Concerto" by the Sakura Country pianist Ozawa Ichiji echoed. Seeing the two people coming in, Deji, wearing a black trimmed dress, stood up with a smile on her face and waved to them.

The cafe was a good size, big enough to accommodate dozens of customers. Only a few tables were occupied at the moment, so even if Deji didn't stand up, they could still see her clearly.

Fang Lan immediately waved in response, smiling and pulling Lin Chen over.

"It's so beautiful to see you holding hands." Deji said with a smile. There was no envy or jealousy in his tone, just polite compliment.

"You can do it too." Fang Lan said with a smile.

"As for me, haha, after experiencing the ups and downs of love, my heart has become very indifferent now." Deji still maintained a calm smile.

"I have prepared the application documents. If everything is fine now, we can set off immediately and it can be done in an hour," Deji continued.

"That's great. I'm going to be the boss soon. I'm so excited." Fang Lan said with a smile, then patted her chest in pretend panic.

The three of them smiled at each other and walked out of the cafe together.

Deji also had a car, and the two cars drove one after the other and soon arrived at the office.

The Civic Hall is located in the New City District. It is a modern office building with a silver glass curtain wall, and its shape resembles a large mobile phone.

The entrance is located exactly where the "mobile phone" screen start button is.

The three of them entered the building, completed the formalities quickly, and received a red business license.

After coming out, Fang Lan looked around, happily stroked the business license, and even smelled the scent on it, appearing to like it very much.

"I can tell at a glance that you're a newbie, so I don't have any impression of you anymore." Deji said with a smile, "Next we have to find an office location and then make a sign." "What about your old studio?" Fang Lan asked with a smile, putting the business license into her handbag.

"I have cancelled the registration and returned the house," Deji said. "After I finish today's business, I have to rent a new house."

"Why rent a house? Just live in my house!" Fang Lan invited enthusiastically, "My house has three large bedrooms! You can just move in."

"Since you don't have an office yet and you don't have much to do right now, you can just work at my house." Lin Chen also suggested, "I don't have much to do on weekdays, so I can help you out."

Deji nodded. Looking at Lin Chen's car and temperament, he felt that his house should be quite large, so he smiled and said, "That's settled! We will work from home in the future, which is much more convenient."

"Yes, the SOHO style of the 21st century, the most fashionable!" Fang Lan laughed, imitating the lyrics of "My Skateboard Shoes".

All three of them had heard the song before and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Then they went to the small commodity city, quickly made the sign, and drove back.

The sign was a simple wooden sign, similar in height and width to Lin Chen’s.

Fang Lan joked: "This sign looks like Lin Chen's second brother."

"You are only the second brother, and your whole family are second brothers." Lin Chen smiled, looking straight ahead.

Deji and Fang Lan laughed so hard that they fell backwards. Deji thought these two people were so funny and was looking forward to their upcoming cohabitation life. He even thought that such a life might be filmed into the sixth season of "Longing for Life"!
Soon they arrived at their destination.

Deji looked at the tall and spacious villa in front of him and was very satisfied. Lin Chen nailed the sign to the left side of the gate.

There were only six words written on the sign from top to bottom: "Orchid Finger Studio".

"Not bad, not bad, it tastes great. In American terms, it's VERY GOOD!" Fang Lan laughed, imitating Guo Donglin's crosstalk style.

The three of them walked into the house together.

The spacious house is divided into a dining room, kitchen, living room, bedroom and two large study rooms. The office is naturally located in the study room and living room.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I don't have much to do, so I rarely use my study. After I take the important documents away, you can use my study when you are busy."

"That's great!" Deji nodded and smiled, "But we don't need it right now. I've laid off all the employees. Now it's just Fang Lan and I, and one study is enough. Your study is really big, almost as big as my old studio. I think it will be enough once we hire a few more employees."

"Okay, then I won't be in a hurry to move." Lin Chen nodded and smiled.

Lin Chen was very free now, so he took the initiative to help with the decoration.

Actually, there was nothing to arrange. Deji's luggage was in the car, except for a suitcase. After Lin Chen helped to drag the suitcase in, Deji took out her clothes and hung them in her bedroom, and then put the laptop on the desk in Fang Lan's study.

"Okay, we can start working." The three of them stood in the study, and Deji said with a smile and open arms.

"What is the first task?" Fang Lan asked.

"Of course we're looking for actors," Deji replied. "During the Chinese New Year, I only interviewed a beautiful blonde who will play our mermaid. Now that everyone has returned to work, we can recruit on a large scale."

"Okay. Do you want to post flyers?" Fang Lan recalled the scene when she saw Lin Chen posting flyers on telephone poles just after graduation. The slogans were still vivid in her mind: "Recycling second-hand aircraft carriers... Wholesale J-10, J-15, and F22 fighter jets all year round..."

Lin Chen couldn't help laughing, and recalled the experience of printing flyers when he first opened the repair shop.

"Judging from your boyfriend's reaction, he seems to be very experienced." Deji turned to look at Lin Chen and said.

"That's right! I printed my own advertisements when I first opened the repair shop." Lin Chen said with a smile, "How about I take you to that shop to print another batch of advertisements exactly like that?"

"And then the three of us stand on the street and hand them out one by one?" Fang Lan imagined that scene and found it very interesting.

"We don't need to do that." Deji smiled, "I have been in the film and television industry for so many years, and I know many group leaders. Group leaders are the leaders who manage extras, and they have a large number of extras under them. The operation of film and television dramas has formed a mature routine, and various dramas have corresponding staffing. We just need to find those group leaders, and the problem of extras will be solved."

"Well, that's good." Fang Lan nodded, feeling happy at the thought that she didn't have to stand on the street handing out flyers in such a cold day.

"Next, we will mainly look for the leading and supporting roles. There are many ways to do this." Deji continued, "The main domestic actors are represented by talent agencies. I have a directory of most domestic talent agencies. I can just call them and propose cooperation. In addition, we can also select actors through casting studios. They are responsible for selecting people for film and television dramas. After we contact them, they will communicate with the actors' union, and the union will select suitable actors and notify them to come for interviews."

"Very good." Fang Lan agreed.

Deji went on to say: "We can also post information in QQ groups, WeChat groups, and forums online. There are also special websites for directors to select actors. We just need to post the information and wait for the actors to contact us. Of course, methods like posting small advertisements are also possible."

"I also posted advertisements in groups and forums. Now it is very successful." Lin Chen smiled and said, "This is indeed a good method."

"Then I'll leave this job to you! Master Lin." Fang Lan turned to him with a smile, remembering how she didn't trust Lin Chen's advertisements at the beginning. She didn't expect that he would be so successful now.

"No problem!" Lin Chen agreed readily.

"Then let's divide the work," Deji suggested. "I've already sorted out the characters and story outline. Next, print out three copies. Fang Lan and Lin Chen will be responsible for recruiting actors, and can use all the methods we just mentioned. I'll be responsible for contacting the filming location, costumes, makeup, props, and renting filming equipment."

"Okay! Then I'll go print some flyers." Lin Chen said with a smile.

The three of them looked at each other and laughed, then went about their business.

Lin Chen held his list tightly and once again stepped into the shop that once printed flyers for him.
