Chapter 458 Disagreement with Installment Payment
But it took a long time!" His tone revealed a sense of ease and humor.
Lin Xuejun also laughed and said, "No matter how you compare it, it's not as good as the fact that you transformed an aircraft carrier in just a few days!" He expressed his sincere admiration for Lin Chen's ability.
Lin Chen did not deny this, he just smiled and nodded. When the more than 30 people came back to report to Lin Xuejun, they all said: "It meets the properties noted in the manual!" This made Lin Xuejun and Lin Chen feel very relieved and satisfied.
After some negotiations, Lin Xuejun finally took out the contract and handed it to Lin Chen.
"Boss Lin, please take a careful look. If there is no problem, we will sign the contract. Regarding the aircraft carrier, it's as you said, 30 billion, but it can be paid in installments." Lin Xuejun said.
Thirty billion, it doesn't matter if it's paid in installments, Lin Chen nodded readily and agreed. He took the contract and read it carefully to make sure there were no hidden trap clauses. After all, the military is still trustworthy, unlike those cunning businessmen.
Lin Chen signed his name on the contract. The contract was made in duplicate, one for Lin Xuejun and one for Lin Chen, so both parties were protected. Of the 30 billion, 10 billion would be paid first, and the remaining 20 billion would be paid in installments. The formalities were completed quickly.
Lin Chen then asked Lin Xuejun: "When can the aircraft carrier be towed to your military port?"
Lin Xuejun replied: "The sooner the better. If Boss Lin has the equipment, you can pay for it and we can calculate the cost separately." He was accustomed to the way of cooperating with Lin Chen. Both parties could always get to the point quickly, especially when it came to the issue of cost.
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Towing to the military port is our after-sales service, so there is no need to calculate the cost separately."
Lin Xuejun couldn't help but sigh: "Boss Lin is such a straightforward person."
This aircraft carrier is just a hull and does not have any carrier-based aircraft or other equipment installed.
Lin Xuejun did not mention this point, and Lin Chen did not add anything to it, because it had already been clearly stated in the previous instructions.
An aircraft carrier alone does not include its strike system.
The matter of the aircraft carrier was settled, and Lin Chen only needed to find a tugboat to tow the aircraft carrier to the eastern military port.
And he had another thing to do, which was to go watch the cross-country rally with Wang Jier.
Lin Chen simply packed a set of clothes and set off. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Wang Jier was waiting in his office and finally saw Lin Chen.
"You're finally here!" Wang Jier shouted excitedly, pulling Lin Chen into the RV. "You'll have to stay in the RV tonight. The rally will start early tomorrow morning. If you don't go there tonight, you won't be able to catch up with the morning race."
Lin Chen then realized that he would have to spend the night in the RV. He helplessly pointed his finger at Wang Jier and said with a smile: "It's all your bad idea. Who can sleep like this!"
Wang Jier patted Lin Chen on the shoulder and comforted him, "You have to adapt slowly. Let's go. I promise you will feel comfortable!"
After more than three hours of bumpy ride, they finally arrived at their destination. The remaining hours before the game were their time to catch up on sleep.
This place is called Karze, which is mountainous and a natural venue for competitions. However, the climate is a bit dry, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
Lin Chen, who had not rested well at night, was pulled up by Wang Jier. After a simple meal, he went to the competition venue. The audience area has been marked out here, with distant stands and close viewing areas.
Lin Chen walked towards the stands, but was stopped by Wang Jier. "You can't see anything from the stands. You can only see the big screen or the scenery from afar. Come with me to the track." Wang Jier said.
Wang Jier was very strong, but he encountered difficulties in pulling Lin Chen. He found that he couldn't even pull this person who didn't look very fat. In fact, he didn't know that Lin Chen was even stronger than him.
Lin Chen frowned and said, "Wouldn't it be just eating dirt if I went to the sidelines of the stadium? I won't go."
Wang Jier said anxiously, "Now that we're here, it feels more like a drag racing experience up close. Besides, there's still sand and dirt even if you're in the stands."
Lin Chen thought about it and felt that what Wang Jier said made sense. After all, he had come here, so he had to experience it seriously. So, he followed Wang Jier through the crowd and directly reached the edge of the track.
There were only barrier lines, and no special security measures, but they knew the direction of the vehicles' force when they came, so the positions occupied by the spectators were relatively safe.
The roar of the engine was already humming in the distance, and Lin Chen's initially calm heart was also excited by such a roar. He pulled Wang Jier next to him and said, "I understand your feelings a little bit now."
Wang Jier was still excitedly waiting for the racing driver to drive over. After hearing Lin Chen's words, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "What?" Obviously, his attention was all on the racing driver and he didn't hear clearly what Lin Chen said.
There were not many spectators at this off-road rally, much less than Lin Chen had imagined. It was indeed different from Formula One races, and the audience still had a certain impact.
Lin Chen looked at the dusty distance, and he already had the answer in his mind as to why this race was different. After all, the F1 racetrack was much cleaner, not as dusty as here. But now when he looked over, he could see the yellow sand sweeping over him.
It was too late to retreat, so Lin Chen, relying on the mask he was wearing, prepared to face the baptism of the yellow earth.
A driver's off-road vehicle had already driven to the closest position within Lin Chen and his team's sight. The yellow soil on the ground was already piled high at the rear of his vehicle, and his slight drift raised a large cloud of yellow fog.
Lin Chen subconsciously covered his nose and squinted his eyes. When he realized that he was wearing a mask, he put his hands down, but he still had to squint his eyes tightly to prevent himself from being blinded. Although Wang Jier loved this sport, he still hated the dust and took a few steps back, as if he could avoid it. Lin Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw this.
It was not until the end of the first round that Lin Chen finally found a place to shake off the dirt on his body. He said to Wang Jier next to him, "I didn't expect that Mr. Wang, a great man, would come here to eat dirt."
Wang Jier restrained his previous smile and said with some emotion: "That's because I didn't tell you that my brother is in their club."
Lin Chen looked up suddenly after hearing this, temporarily forgetting the dirt on his clothes and head. "Then why didn't I see you go to find him?" Lin Chen asked.
Wang Jier sighed helplessly and said, "We don't have a very good relationship, but he is still my brother, so I wanted to come and see him." This was one of the few times Wang Jier mentioned his personal affairs in front of others. Lin Chen didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he just listened quietly. Suddenly, some people shouted in the distance. They looked over and found that many staff and drivers of the club had gathered together.
Lin Chen and the others did not go over to see what was going on, after all, they still had their own seats. But they soon found out what had happened. It turned out that a technician here suddenly had a problem and was sent away urgently.
The second round of the race also started during the countdown. Wang Jier stood a little further away, which gave Lin Chen an opportunity to eat less dirt. The race had just started, and the driver ran a lap. When he was about to start the second lap, the car suddenly swayed uncontrollably and stopped directly to the side.
The vehicle involved in the accident was very close to where Lin Chen and his team were, so Lin Chen subconsciously called up the system. "See what happened to this car?" The reason why Lin Chen wanted to understand the situation was because this team was exactly the team that Wang Jier's brother was in, and he had been affected without realizing it.
"Received, master. This car has a combined failure of front wheel vibration and resonance, which causes severe front wheel vibration, shaking of the front of the car, and difficulty for the driver to control the vehicle." The system responded quickly.
After waiting for a while and seeing that Lin Chen did not respond, the system asked again: "If you need maintenance technology, please click to confirm!" But Lin Chen directly closed it. He just wanted to understand the situation and did not have to repair it himself. What's more, they had their own technicians.
Soon, the technician explained the problem of the car to the people nearby, which was the same as what Lin Chen's system had told him. The solution was also simple, and the car soon returned to the track. But time is everything, and it only returned to the track, and had lost the opportunity to compete for a good result.
Wang Jier suddenly became more active and tried to look into the distance. Lin Chen also saw the arrival of an off-road racing car. At the place where the accident happened just now, billowing black smoke came out of the rear of the car, which was obviously coming out of the exhaust pipe.
"This is not right." Wang Jier said to himself. As he spoke, the black smoke became more and more serious, and Lin Chen also frowned. "It won't be a problem too!" Lin Chen complained, "Is this your brother's car?" He turned to ask Wang Jier.
Wang Jier nodded worriedly and said, "Yes, this is my brother's car." His eyes were full of anxiety, and he was obviously very worried about his brother's situation.
Lin Chen suddenly realized that his joke about "the car is going to break down" seemed a little unlucky. However, he just thought about it and continued to stand aside as a spectator.
"Actually, our relationship isn't very harmonious," Wang Jier said, and sighed.
Lin Chen saw this and was touched. At this moment, a question came to his mind: the previous technician had already repaired the previous car, and this club was so small that there was only one technician.
As spectators, Wang Jier and Lin Chen were not allowed to approach the racing area. But this did not affect Wang Jier's concern for his brother.
The driver in the car had already gotten out of the car, looking very bad, frowning, and was negotiating with the coach. He kept pointing at his smoking car, while the coach seemed helpless and could only turn around in place.
Lin Chen turned to Wang Jier beside him and said, "Go talk to the coach. I can help you fix the car."
"What did you say?" Wang Jier widened his eyes and looked at Lin Chen in disbelief.
"I said I can repair the car. Seeing how anxious they are, let me go and help!" Lin Chen's tone was very serious, and the sincerity he revealed was unquestionable.
Wang Jier did not delve into how credible Lin Chen's words were, but quickly walked towards the coach. When the coach saw Wang Jier, he waved his hand helplessly, obviously not wanting to deal with additional questions at this time.
Lin Chen had no choice but to tell the coach himself: "I have a brother here who can help me fix the car."
This sentence finally caught the coach's attention. Before this, the coach's whole mind was on the car and the driver who had crashed.
In this way, Lin Chen came to the racing car that was still emitting black smoke.
"System, check the fault of this car." Lin Chen said silently in his heart.
"Received. Please pay two hundred thousand first." The system's reply was concise and clear.
"Are you asking for too much? You want to charge two hundred thousand for such a small problem?" Lin Chen felt unhappy and even wanted to give up on repairing it.
The system responded obediently: "This is the addition of the last fee."
Lin Chen then remembered that the system did not collect money last time. He thought it was a system bug, so he transferred the 200,000 yuan anyway.
The system quickly displayed the fault screen: "The fuel tank vent pipe is blocked, causing negative pressure. If repair is required, please purchase the material package and off-road vehicle repair technology installation package."
"How much?" Lin Chen asked.
"Two hundred thousand." The system answered promptly and clearly.
Lin Chen paid without hesitation. Afterwards, he received off-road vehicle maintenance technology and a small tool for unclogging the fuel tank vent pipe.
Lin Chen looked at the slender unclogging tool in his hand and secretly lamented that the two hundred thousand was mainly spent on maintenance technology.
At this time, Wang Jier was still communicating with the coach, and Lin Chen had already walked to the car. While Wang Jier was talking to his brother, the car had restarted and the black smoke stopped coming out.
Lin Chen cleared the vent in just a dozen seconds. He immediately made way and said to the driver, "Hurry up and get in the car!"
Both the coach and the driver were stunned and obviously didn't react. Fortunately, the coach was experienced and pushed the driver into the car. The driver looked back at Wang Jier with a meaningful look. Then, the repaired car drove away, leaving only Lin Chen, Wang Jier and the coach.
The coach walked up to Lin Chen, his face full of curiosity: "Are you a professional?"
Lin Chen nodded: "Well, it's considered professional."
"So where are you working now? Do you want to come to our club?
