I asked you to write a book, not to disclose your criminal record!

Chapter 232: An online writer is so powerful that he doesn't want to let people live? ( words long chapter)

Magic City, Qihang Building.

The sunlight penetrated the sparse clouds and fell on the glass curtain wall of the building, reflecting a dazzling light. The green plants next to the building had water droplets on their leaves that had just been sprayed, emitting brilliant golden light in the sunlight.

The busy day of workers has already begun.

The editor sat leisurely in front of the computer, his hands on the keyboard, and his slender fingers tapped quickly, typing out a slogan for "Armsstock Cache & Call".

She looked at it, muttered to herself, and felt very dissatisfied.

I had no choice but to press the 'delete key' and scratch my head with both hands. My smooth hair became much more messy. My rosy face looked full of energy early in the morning, but a few strands of hair on my forehead and temples hung on the tip of my nose and cheeks, making me look a little pitiful in the mess.

"Morning, Youyou."

At this time, Youyou's good partner Chu Wanning appeared behind her with a glass of milk.

"Good morning, Wan Ning." Youyou put aside her concerns about the advertising copy for the moment and smiled as she looked at Chu Wan Ning.

"You did a great job! Here's some milk for you."

Chu Wanning placed the milk in her hand on Youyou's desk, then praised with a look of satisfaction on her face.

Youyou didn't quite understand what Chu Wanning was referring to, so she asked blankly, "What did we do?"

"You are as low-key as Lin Chuan." Chu Wanning smiled.

Youyou didn't quite understand what Chu Wanning said, so she asked, "Why did you bring Lin Chuan up?"

"Didn't you say last night that you would talk to Lin Chuan today about the issue of pirated French Fries novels?" Chu Wanning sat next to Youyou and said excitedly.

"Yes……"

Youyou nodded blankly.

Before she finished the second half of her sentence, Chu Wanning continued, "Just a while ago, French Fries Novel took the initiative to contact us."

"Ah?" Youyou was a little confused.

"guess what?"

Chu Wanning raised her eyebrows, and even her tone became much more lively. "French Fries Novel took the initiative to offer us compensation, refunding all the economic gains from pirating Lin Chuan's novels, and paying Lin Chuan double the compensation. Later, they also hope to obtain our genuine authorization and transform from a small workshop into a regular army."

Youyou's eyes widened: "It sounds a bit magical."

“That’s so magical.”

Chu Wan Ning was still excited. "At first, when the legal team asked me to contact them, I was stunned. You know, the legal team was also stunned. They had no idea why French Fries Novel had such an attitude today. Not only did they ignore our lawyer's letter in the past, they also sent back two letters mocking us."

Youyou raised his right hand and scratched his head: "Is there anything strange here?"

Chu Wanning nodded heavily:

"I also feel that something is fishy, ​​but they are very efficient. They have already prepared an electronic contract. The compensation and other funds will be credited to the account in two hours. Next month, the money will be sent to Lin Chuan in the form of royalties."

Youyou hesitated for a moment: "This matter..."

"You guys did a great job on this! But you and Lin Chuan are too low-key. You didn't even tell us about such a big thing. Lin Chuan is really amazing. I wonder if he can handle other piracy cases as well? Ask him to help solve them."

Chu Wanning tasted the sweetness, and before Youyou could finish speaking, she started talking in a rush.

"Forehead."

"Youyou, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Wan Ning then realized that You You was not as excited as she had imagined, "You seem to find it strange?"

Youyou grinned: "I haven't told Lin Chuan about this yet."

"what?"

Now it was Chu Wanning's turn to stare blankly, "You haven't said it yet?"

Youyou nodded sincerely: "Yes, I haven't told you yet."

"This……"

Chu Wan Ning touched his chin and said strangely, "Then this matter is very strange. The people who wrote French fry novels will never have a change of heart."

Youyou took a sip of milk and fell into thought: "Could this be done by Lin Chuan's readers?"

"The reader did it?"

Chu Wanning muttered strangely.

"Correct."

Youyou speculated, "His readers can be very powerful sometimes."

Chu Wan Ning pondered for a moment, then said with a smile, "It's not like a group of people rushed to the headquarters of French Fries Novel and forced French Fries Novel to sign a treaty, right?"

"Wan Ning, you can have a bigger imagination."

Youyou also laughed, "It's possible that the treaty was signed with a gun pointed at the head of the French Fries Novel boss."

"That's ridiculous!" Chu Wanning laughed.

Youyou tidied up her messy hair and said seriously, "I'll go ask and see if it was him or his readers who did it. There is no other possibility."

Chu Wan Ning deeply agreed: "He is indeed in a special circle. He doesn't do anything himself, but his readers do. The effect is also very good."

"What special circle?" Youyou asked.

Chu Wanning thought for a moment: "The criminal circle."

"Crime ring?"

Youyou laughed, "If Lin Chuan knew about this, he would have to have a good talk with you."

Chu Wan Ning waved her hands quickly: "Don't tell this great god, I'm counting on him to write a few more books."

Youyou smiled and sent a message to Lin Chuan.

……

Anling City, Finance Office.

Today, Lin Chuan did not dress casually as usual, but rather dressed relatively formally.

He was wearing a grey suit, was 186cm tall, had a handsome face, and neat short hair. He looked like a walking clothes rack, full of energy and spirit.

Next to him was Shen Qianqian's father, Shen Jianhua.

Early in the morning.

Shen Jianhua trimmed the stubble on his chin, put on a nice suit, and went to the municipal finance department with Lin Chuan to discuss the financial allocation of Anling Iron and Steel Plant with the leader in charge of finance in Anling City.

Now, the discussion is complete.

"How was the conversation?"

Shen Qianqian was waiting for the two of them in the car. When she saw them walking out of the Finance Bureau, she asked with concern.

She cares a lot about these two men.

Lin Chuan and Shen Jianhua got in the car.

One for the co-pilot and one for the back seat.

Lin Chuan fastened his seat belt: "It's a bit unsatisfactory."

"not ideal……"

Shen Qianqian pursed her lips slightly and asked, "How much can be allocated?"

Lin Chuan stretched out three fingers.

"three million?"

Shen Qianqian's expression froze, and she hesitated for a long time, unable to utter a word.

“You can’t blame the city for this.”

Lin Chuan had anticipated this outcome. "This is a problem with the city's development plan."

In the back row, Shen Jianhua sighed and said, "I understand what Director Wang meant. Under the current circumstances, it is difficult to fully support a steel plant that is about to go bankrupt and transform it into a military factory."

Director Wang is the director of the Anling Municipal Finance Bureau.

He made it clear that—

Firstly, Anling City’s development plan is to build a tourism brand for Hanjiang Province and become a nationally renowned civilized tourism city.

We don't focus much on heavy industry.

Secondly, the steel plant is not profitable. Even if it is transformed into a military factory, it cannot bring any objective benefits to Anling City. It is small in scale and provides very limited jobs, which is far less profitable than developing tourism.

In addition, military factories are not necessarily profitable.

The overall net profit margin of the military industry is only about 4%, and the profit margin is quite low, which is affected by factors such as cost pricing mechanism, military product pricing reform, technological content, and market demand.

There is a high probability that it will lose more money than the steel mill.

Especially in the current situation, the factory has no military orders on hand, and if it rashly invests a large amount of money, it will only end up wasting money.

"There's only three million. What should we do?" Shen Qianqian asked with concern.

"Director Wang's intention is for us to use the three million to create a batch of weapon samples. Once we have the weapon orders, it will be easier to apply for funds," Shen Jianhua explained.

In short, don't do business at a loss.

"Three million, to replace a few pieces of equipment, that's about enough."

Shen Qianqian complained.

"Actually, the situation is not that bad." Lin Chuan comforted the two of them.

"What else can you do?"

Shen Qianqian raised her eyebrows and asked.

If Anling Iron and Steel Plant wants to complete the transformation into a military factory, it will have to invest at least 46 million yuan to ensure a minimum budget.

It is somewhat unrealistic to obtain a bank mortgage.

The steel mill is facing bankruptcy due to insolvency, broken capital chain, reduced market demand and severe lack of orders.

"Mortgage the patent."

Lin Chuan smiled and offered a solution.

“How many patents do you have?”

Shen Qianqian asked in a daze.

"Buying this steel mill shouldn't be a problem." Lin Chuan grinned, but spoke conservatively.

The 'weapons database' in his mind contains many technologies that have not yet been broken through. Take the 'long-range box-type rocket launcher' technology as an example. There are more than a dozen breakthrough patented technologies in it, which are very valuable.

However, the process of mortgaging a patent may take a long time.

The evaluation phase alone will take one or two months, and it is very likely that three months will pass before funding is approved.

"What if there are no orders and we lose money?" Shen Qianqian asked.

"Order……"

Lin Chuan laughed, "With new technology, why worry about orders?"

At this time.

Ding dong ding dong.

Lin Chuan's cell phone QQ sounded with a message alert.

Ankolina sent: "Mr. Lin, there is someone who claims to be your loyal fan and wants to talk to you about cooperation."

Lin Chuan looked down and replied, "Did you say anything about cooperation?"

He has so many fans.

——Killers, hackers, fraudsters, drug lords, antique dealers, police, intelligence officers, etc.

In international forums.

He often receives some strange collaborations in his private messages.

For example, some people asked him if he was interested in dominating the global market for addictive drugs, others asked if he would take orders, saying that he would get rich if he took orders, and some asked him if he would sell it, saying that some rich women liked his style. Outrageous!

Therefore, Lin Chuan was subconsciously wary of the readers' proposal for cooperation.

After all, he has some idea of ​​his readers.

soon.

Ancolina replied: "He didn't say what the specific cooperation was, but he really wanted to contact you. He seemed very willing. He sounded like a big client. He just sent you a private message on the international forum, but you didn't reply."

"I'll go check it out later, ask him to wait for a moment." Lin Chuan replied.

Subsequently.

Lin Chuan turned to Shen Qianqian and Shen Jianhua and said, "I'll think of a solution for the funding issue. Let's go back first."

Neither the Shen family father nor their daughter had any objection.

Shen Qianqian stepped on the accelerator and sent Lin Chuan back to Linjiang Prefecture.

When Lin Chuan returned home, he turned on his computer and logged into his account on the international forum.

His personal homepage is full of private messages.

Message 1628+.

"I haven't been online for a while, but there are so many messages. You're trying to bombard me." Lin Chuan smiled.

Reading through 1628 messages is a huge task.

Lin Chuan saw the message from Ankolina sent by user @Monkey, and it was him who was looking for him.

Lin Chuan opened @Monkey’s private message.

as predicted.

Monkey sent him a lot of messages early in the morning.

[Hello, Arms Cargo Tycoon Lin, hello! ]

[I am your loyal reader, and I admire your attainments in weapons very much! ]

【I really hope to cooperate with you! 】

[Please don't reject my request immediately! ]

[By the way, there is a website in Southeast Asia that has pirated all of your novels. I have already dealt with it. I believe your website has already notified you. ]

【…】

Lin Chuan took a look and frowned slightly.

There was a website that pirated one or two of my novels. I heard Youyou mention this a long time ago, but Youyou said that the legal department had already handled it.

This website directly pirated everything?

Inhuman!
Ding dong ding dong!

Just as I was thinking about it, a message from editor Youyou popped up on the computer: "Bao, do you know about the French Fries novel?"

"Which website is the French Fries Novel?" Lin Chuan asked.

"It's a novel website in Southeast Asia that made its fortune by pirating novels. It pirated all your novels."

Youyou explained immediately.

Lin Chuan looked at Youyou's message, then at @Monkey's private message, and replied to Youyou: "I just found out too."

"French Fries Novel will return all pirated revenue and compensate you twice as much. All your novels have been removed from the shelves and are applying for authorization."

On the other end of the network, Youyou replied with a smile.

“It looks pretty good.”

Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily.

This reader did a good thing.

Most authors can only watch helplessly when their works are pirated.

If you are plagiarized, you can only post on the online literature forum, report it and fight it. If the other website refuses to admit it, you can only take legal action.

A large free website in China and a paid website had a lawsuit over a book, which lasted more than a year before the result was reached.

It is basically impossible for ordinary authors to protect their rights without the strong support of the novel platform.

In this kind of transnational piracy case, even if the novel platform takes action, there is basically no hope.

We have to take some special measures.

"Did your readers do this for you?" Youyou asked.

Lin Chuan laughed and replied: "How did you know?"

"I guess your readers are just like you."

Youyou said teasingly with a smile on her face.

Lin Chuan was a little happy just now, but now a black line appeared on his face: "Ahem, I'm just writing novels. Writing does not mean doing. There is still some difference."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Youyou replied happily.

Lin Chuan grinned and turned his attention to the user @Monkey.

He thought for a moment and replied, "Thank you."

Maybe the other party had been waiting in front of the computer, waiting for Lin Chuan's message. As soon as Lin Chuan sent the message, the other party replied immediately:

"Mr. Lin, I finally waited for you."

"It's only a piece of cake to solve the problem of pirated novels. You're welcome."

French fries novel, inside the base camp.

Leo contacted Lin Chuan through Xiaohou's account, his face full of excitement, and the people who were accompanying him also had smiles on their faces.

Xiaohou and Haoge huddled in a corner, not knowing why this group of people were so excited, as if they were chasing stars.

Is it just because of contacting an online writer?

As they are in the business of pirated novels, they know very well that online writers are like cattle and horses. Even if their copyright is infringed, no one will cause trouble for them.

At most, they would just shout something online or send a lawyer's letter.

Then, there is no more.

As an online writer, what else can you be good at?
But this time, they made a mistake!
They never imagined that a group of people who looked like military personnel would rush in like fanatical fans and seek justice for the author of the online article.

An online writer is so powerful, is there no way he can survive?
What a hell!
But at this moment, they dared not not raise some doubts. What if these murderous guys went crazy and killed them? That would be really weird!
soon.

Lin Chuan replied: "I heard from Ankolina that you are looking for me because of something?"

Leo saw that Lin accepted the gift of dealing with pirated novels, which was really useful, so he replied:
"This is a borrowed account from a French Fries Novel staff member. My name is Leo, and I want to consult you on some issues regarding weapon making."

After all, this is an international forum and it’s someone else’s account.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he did not explain it completely.

Currently, it is still in the trial stage.

"I'm asking about weapons manufacturing. Welcome to communicate." At home, Lin Chuan's reply was relatively serious and nothing out of the ordinary.

“Can I add your contact information?”

Leo asked politely.

He had expectations for Lin Chuan.

He also believed that Lin Chuan, who was able to write a novel like "Arms tycoon" and had in-depth research on weapons, would not disappoint his expectations.

Once they can obtain the 'long-range box-type rocket launcher' from Lin Chuan, even if it is just some patents, and the price is within their affordable range, they can say goodbye to the Morgan Group!

Yu, you're asking for an exorbitant price, so I'll just look for someone else.

"Okay, send me your contact information and I'll contact you." Lin Chuan replied relatively cautiously.

"OK!"

Leo immediately entered his contact information.

Lin Chuan is a trustworthy man, and he contacted Leo in another way.

Leo's smile could hardly be suppressed. He walked down the stairs with a smile on his face. He thought for a moment, then turned around and shouted:
"Xiaohao, Xiaohou, if I find out that you guys are pirating Lin's novel again, be careful of me..."

As he said this, he patted the guy on his waist.

Xiaohao and Xiaohou nodded repeatedly in fear.

Leo smiled and turned to contact Lin Chuan: "Mr. Lin, I'm glad to contact you. You can just call me Leo."

"Hello, Leo."

"Mr. Lin, excuse me, but the book you wrote, "Arms Cachet", is very professional, realistic, and immersive. I read it all night last night, and the story is very exciting..."

As soon as Leo came up, he started to boast a lot.

It is difficult for a man who has been fighting in wars for many years to use so many words of praise for literature and novels.

Leo swore that this was definitely the limit of his praise.

In his heart, Lin Chuan, the arms tycoon and weapons expert, deserves his praise!

"Leo, staying up all night is not good for your health. You have to pay attention to your health when reading novels."

At home, Lin Chuan looked at this fanatical fan and responded with concern.

"Thanks for caring."

Leo was very happy with Lin Chuan's friendliness. In his opinion, this was the beginning of a friendly conversation between the two, so he asked:
"Mr. Lin, I'm curious. You depicted these weapons so meticulously in "Arms Cachet". Do you also make weapons in real life?"

"Your question is very dangerous."

Lin Chuan replied cheerfully, "However, making weapons is not as difficult as you might think."

Leo clenched his right fist and said excitedly to the staff officer beside him: "Look, does Mr. Lin's answer mean that he can make those weapons?"

"Yes! Should we ask him directly about the long-range box rocket launcher, or ask him if he will sell weapons?"

The staff officer suggested.

Leo took a deep breath, thinking that what the staff officer said made sense, and immediately asked: "Mr. Lin, do you sell weapons?"

After a long while, Lin Chuan did not reply.

The excitement on Leo's face gradually faded, and he muttered, "Are we asking too presumptuous questions?"

The staff officer thought for a moment and said, "It's very likely that Mr. Lin is worried that we are the ones who are fishing."

Leo slapped his thigh and immediately entered the information:

"Mr. Lin, my question may be a little too direct, but I want to make it clear that I am not one of those trolls on the dark web. I really want to cooperate with you, so I took the liberty to ask this question."

In fact.

During the time that Lin Chuan was silent, he was investigating Leo's IP address and identity information, and encrypted the contact to prevent it from being discovered.

Soon.

Lin Chuan confirmed Leo's IP address and completed the encryption of this contact, then replied: "What kind of cooperation do you want to discuss?"

the other side.

Leo took a deep breath.

Now that we have come to this point, why not just state the purpose directly.

So he replied solemnly: "Mr. Lin, I want to buy a batch of advanced weapons and equipment. Do you have any for sale?"

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
