I asked you to write a book, but I didn’t ask you to reveal your criminal record!

Magic City, departure building.

The sun penetrates the sparse clouds and falls on the glass curtain wall of the building, reflecting a bright light. The green plants next to the building have freshly sprayed water droplets on their leaves, giving off a brilliant golden light in the sunlight.

A busy day for migrant workers has already begun.

The editor leisurely sat in front of the computer, put his hands on the keyboard, and tapped quickly with his slender fingers, typing out an advertisement for "Arms Tycoon".

She looked at it, muttered something, and felt very dissatisfied.

I had no choice but to press the 'delete button' and scratch my head with both hands. My silky hair was a lot messy. My beautiful pink face was full of energy in the early morning. A few strands of hair hung on my forehead and temples, hanging on the tip of my nose and cheeks. , with a bit of pity in the mess.

"Morning, Yoyo."

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

"Good morning, Wan Ning." Youyou put aside her worries about the advertising copy and looked at Chu Wan Ning with a smile.

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

Chu Wanning put the milk in her hand on Youyou's table, and then praised it with relief on her face.

Youyou didn't understand what Chu Wanning was referring to specifically, so she asked in a daze: "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 are you involved in Lin Chuan?"

"Didn't you say last night that you would tell Lin Chuan today about the piracy of the French fries novel?" 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: "Not long ago, French Fries Novel took the initiative to contact us."

"Ah?" Youyou was a little confused.

"guess what?"

Chu Wanning raised her brows and her tone became much more lively, "French Chips Novel took the initiative to offer us compensation and refund all the financial gains from the pirated Lin Chuan novels, and also wanted to give Lin Chuan twice the compensation. We also hope to get us in the future. It has been officially authorized and turned from a small workshop into a regular army.”

Youyou glared: "It sounds a bit magical."

"That would be magical."

Chu Wanning was still excited, "At first, when the legal team asked me to contact me, I was confused. You know, the legal team was also confused. They had no idea why French Fries Novel had the attitude it has today. Not only did it used to be He ignored our lawyers’ letters and even replied to two letters mocking us.”

Youyou raised her right hand and scratched her head: "Is there anything fishy in this?"

Chu Wanning nodded heavily:

"I also think there is something fishy, ​​but their actions are very neat. The electronic contract has been drawn up. In two hours, the compensation and other payments will arrive. Next month, the money will be in the form of royalties. Send it to Lin Chuan."

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

"You guys have done a great job in this matter! But you and Lin Chuan are too low-key, and you don't tell us about such a big thing. Lin Chuan is too powerful. Is he also involved in other piracy incidents?" If you can handle it, please ask him to help solve it.”

Chu Wanning tasted the sweetness, and before Youyou could finish speaking, she started to speak loudly.

"Forehead."

"Yuyou, what's wrong with you?"

Only then did Chu Wanning realize that Youyou was not as excited as she thought, "You seem to find it strange?"

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

"ah?"

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

Youyou nodded sincerely: "Yes, I haven't said it yet."

"this……"

Chu Wanning touched her chin and said strangely, "Then this is very strange. People who read French fries novels will never have their conscience to find out."

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

"Reader did it?"

Chu Wanning muttered strangely.

"right."

Youyou speculated, "His readers are sometimes very powerful."

Chu Wanning thought for a moment and 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, your imagination can be bigger."

Youyou also laughed, "Maybe he put a gun to the head of the French fries novel boss and then signed the treaty."

"That's too ridiculous!" Chu Wanning laughed.

Youyou straightened her messy hair and said seriously: "I'm going to ask and see if it was him or one of his readers who did it. Other than that, there is no other possibility."

Chu Wanning thought deeply: "As expected, he is in a special circle. If he doesn't take action, readers will take action, and the effect will be great."

"What special circle?" Youyou asked.

Chu Wanning thought for a while: "Crime circle."

"Crime ring?"

Youyou laughed, "If Lin Chuan finds out, I'll have to talk to you."

Chu Wanning waved her hands quickly: "Don't tell this great god, I still expect him to write more books."

Youyou pursed her lips and smiled, then sent a message to Lin Chuan.

…

Anling City, Finance Office.

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

He was wearing a gray suit, 186cm tall, with a handsome face and clean short hair. He looked like a walking clothes hanger, full of energy.

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

Early in the morning.

Shen Jianhua straightened out the stubble on his chin, put on a decent suit, and went to the municipal finance department with Lin Chuan to discuss the financial appropriation of the Anling Steel Plant with the leader in charge of finance in Anling City.

Now, the negotiation has been completed.

"How was the conversation?"

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

She cares about these two men.

Lin Chuan and Shen Jianhua got into the car.

One co-pilot and one in the back.

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

"not ideal……"

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

Lin Chuan stretched out three fingers.

"three million?"

Shen Qianqian looked stern, then hesitated for a long time, unable to say a word.

“You can’t blame the city for this.”

Lin Chuan had already expected such a result, "This is a matter of city development planning."

In the back row, Shen Jianhua sighed softly and said: "I understand what Director Wang means. Under the current situation, it is difficult to fully support a steel factory that is about to close down and transform it into a military factory."

Bureau Wang, the director of the Anling City Finance Bureau.

He said very clearly——

First, the development plan of Anling City is to build a famous tourist brand of Hanjiang Province and become a famous tourist and civilized city in the country.

We don’t pay much attention to heavy industry.

Secondly, the efficiency of the steel plant is poor. Even if it is transformed into a military factory, it will not be able to bring objective benefits to Anling City. The scale is small and the jobs provided are very limited, which is far less than the substantial benefits from developing tourism.

In addition, military factories do not necessarily make money.

The overall net profit margin of the military industry is only about 4%, and the profit margin is quite low. It 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 a steel factory.

Especially in the current situation, the factory does not have military orders on hand, and if it invests a large amount of money rashly, it will only be in vain.

"There are only three million, what should we do?" Shen Qianqian asked with concern.

"Wang Ju's intention is that we use these three million to build a batch of weapon samples. Once we have the weapons order, it will be easier to apply for funds." Shen Jianhua explained.

All in all, don't make money-losing trades.

"Three million, just replace a few pieces of equipment, it's almost 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 of the military factory, it must invest at least 46 million to maintain a minimum budget.

It is somewhat unrealistic to use a bank mortgage.

The steel plant is insolvent, its capital chain is broken, market demand is reduced, and there is a serious shortage of orders, and it is facing bankruptcy.

"Pledge the patent."

Lin Chuan smiled and offered a solution.

"How many patents do you have?"

Shen Qianqian asked in a daze.

"It shouldn't be a problem to buy this steel plant." Lin Chuan grinned, but said it very conservatively.

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

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

The evaluation phase alone will take a month or two, and with funding approval, it is likely that three months will pass.

"What if there is no order or loss?" Shen Qianqian asked.

"Order……"

Lin Chuan chuckled, "You have new technology, why do you have to worry about orders?"

At this time.

Ding dong ding dong.

Lin Chuan's cell phone buzzed with a message notification tone.

Sent by Ancolina: "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 what kind of cooperation you want to discuss?"

He has so many fans.

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

in international forums.

In his private messages, he often receives some strange cooperation.

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. He would make a fortune with one order. Some even asked him if he would sell it. Some rich women liked his model.

Outrageous!

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

After all, he still knows something about his readers.

soon.

Ancolina replied: "He didn't say what the specific cooperation would be, but he really hopes to contact you. He seems very willing and sounds like he is a big customer. He just sent you a private message on the international forum, but you didn't reply. "

"I'll go take a look later. Ask him to wait a moment." Lin Chuan replied.

Subsequently.

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

Neither the Shen family nor his daughter had any objections.

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

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

His personal homepage is full of private messages.

Message 1628+.

"I haven't been online for a while. There are so many messages. They want to bombard me." Lin Chuan smiled.

After reading 1628 messages, it is also a huge amount of work.

Lin Chuan saw the user @Monkey sent by Ancolina, who was looking for him.

Lin Chuan opened @Monkey's private message.

as expected.

Monkey sent him many messages early in the morning.

[Hello, arms tycoon Lin, hello! 】

[I am your loyal reader, and I admire your accomplishments in weapons very much! 】

【I really hope to cooperate with you! 】

[Please do not reject my request immediately! 】

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

【……】

Lin Chuan looked at it and frowned slightly.

There are websites that have pirated one or two of my novels. I heard Yuyou mention this a long time ago, but Yuyou said that it has been handled by legal affairs.

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 is a novel website in Southeast Asia. It made its fortune by piracy of novels. It has pirated all your novels."

Yuyou explained immediately.

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

"Chips Novel will refund all piracy income and compensate you twice as much as you personally. All your novels have been removed from the shelves and are in the process of applying for authorization."

On the other end of the network, Yoyo replied with a smile on her face.

"It looks pretty good."

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

This reader did a good thing.

Ordinary authors can only stare blankly if their work is pirated.

If you have been plagiarized, you can only post on online forums, report it, and fight. If the other website refuses to admit it, then you can only take legal action.

A major free website and a paid website in China fought a lawsuit over a book, and it took more than a year to get the result.

Ordinary authors do not have the full support of novel platforms, so it is basically difficult to protect their rights.

This kind of transnational piracy case is basically useless even if the novel platform takes action.

Only special measures can be taken.

"Did your readers help you do it?" Youyou asked.

Lin Chuan chuckled and replied: "How do you know?"

"My guess is that your readers are just like you."

Youyou teased 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 just write novels. Writing does not mean doing it. There is still some difference."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Youyouxin replied happily.

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

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

Maybe the other party has been waiting in front of the computer, waiting for Lin Chuan's message. As soon as Lin Chuan sent the message, the other party responded instantly:

"Mr. Lin, I'm finally waiting for you."

"Solving the issue of pirated novels is just a piece of cake. 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 faces of the people accompanying him also had smiles on their faces.

Xiaohou and Brother Hao were huddled in a corner. They didn't know why these people were so excited, as if they were chasing stars.

Is it just because I contacted an online article author?

The two of them are in the business of piracy of novels, and they know that Internet article authors are like cattle and horses. Even if they infringe their copyrights, no one will come to trouble them.

The most I can do is shout out online or send a lawyer's letter.

Then, there is no more.

As an online article author, what else can you do?

But this time, they made a mistake!

The two of them never expected that a group of people suspected of being from the army would rush in like fanatic fans to seek justice for the author of the online article.

An Internet article writer is so powerful that he won’t let people live?

What a hell!

But at this time, they didn't dare to raise any doubts. What if these murderous guys went crazy and destroyed them?

soon.

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

When Leo saw it, Lin accepted the gift of getting a pirated novel. It really worked, so he replied:

"This is the account I borrowed from the staff of French Fries Novel. My name is Leo, and I would like to ask you some questions about weapon production."

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

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

At present, it is also in the experimental stage.

"I have questions about weapon production. Welcome to discuss." 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 could write a novel like "Arms Tycoon" and had a deep research on weapons, would not disappoint his expectations.

Once they could get the "long-range box rocket launcher" from Lin Chuan, even if it was some patents, the price was within their affordability, they could say goodbye to the Morgan Group!

Yu, you are asking for a sky-high price, I just need to find someone else.

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

"OK!"

Leo immediately entered his contact information.

Lin Chuan was a trustworthy person and contacted Leo in another way.

Leo's mouth corners were almost uncontrollable. When he walked down the stairs, his face was full of smiles. He thought for a while, turned his head and shouted:

"Xiaohao, Xiaohou, if I know that you are pirating Lin's novel again, be careful of me..."

As he said, 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 call me Leo directly."

"Hello, Leo."

"Mr. Lin, forgive me for being so presumptuous. The "Arms Tycoon" you wrote is very professional, very real, and very immersive. I read it all night last night. The story is very tense..."

Leo started to praise a lot.

It's hard for a person who has been running in the war for many years to use so many words of praise about literature and novels.

Leo swears that this is 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 replied with concern.

"Thank you for your concern."

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 described these weapons so carefully in "Arms tycoon". In reality, can you also make weapons?"

"Your question is very dangerous."

Lin Chuan replied cheerfully, "But making weapons is not as difficult as imagined."

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 sells weapons?"

The staff officer suggested.

Leo took a deep breath and thought that what the staff officer said made sense, so he immediately asked: "Mr. Lin, please tell me, do you sell weapons?"

For a long while, Lin Chuan did not reply.

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

The staff officer thought for a while: "It is very likely that Mr. Lin is worried that we are those who are fishing."

Leo slapped his thigh and immediately typed the message:

"Mr. Lin, my question may be a little direct, but I want to make it clear that I am not one of those little cuties who are fishing on the dark web. I really want to reach a cooperation with you, so I asked this question presumptuously."

In fact.

During this period of silence, Lin Chuan was investigating Leo's IP address and identity information, and encrypted this contact to prevent the contact from being discovered.

Not long after.

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

On the other side.

Leo took a deep breath.

The conversation has come to this point, so it is better to state the purpose directly.

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

Please give me a monthly ticket!
