I just want to deliver express, but you insist on recruiting me?

Chapter 13: Money is Spent on the Blade
Gan Buting always felt that he gave too little cash.

But what he didn't know was that Chen Chen didn't even have this little cash.

All of them are counting on the funding from Shunfeng.

It is approaching midsummer and the weather is gradually becoming more violent.

Even if you do nothing, it feels like being in a sauna.

Therefore, Chen Chenyuan paid another sum of money to provide high temperature subsidies to employees participating in the Double-tailed Scorpion project.

He didn't want to spend money, nor did he want his employees to suffer from heat stroke.

But there is no way, the project is urgent.

Everything is ready, only the test flight is missing.

Since the acquisition had not yet been finalized, Chendun had to conduct a test flight with an unpainted bare aircraft.

Early July.

They conducted their first test flight at Jiangqiao Airport in the eastern suburbs of Qianjiang.

This was originally a civil airport, but later due to the needs of urban development, civil business was moved to the suburbs.

Jiangqiao Airport only has a small part of cargo business left, and most of its functions are for military use.

Later, a new military airport was built in the western suburbs.

Jiangqiao Airport is almost in a semi-shutdown state.

As the city develops, more and more residential areas are built around the airport.

This also caused certain difficulties for the test flight that day.

Fortunately, the test flight was a complete success. From takeoff to liftoff to landing, no major mistakes occurred.

The only fly in the ointment is.

After the test flight, many residents complained that the drone's flight activities caused a lot of noise.

So, the second test flight took place three days later.

Chen Chen decisively painted the new plane black and wrote the four huge words "Shunfeng Express" on the side of the fuselage.

The noise is caused by the shape of the aircraft, which involves aerodynamic technology.

Chen Chen is currently unable to make improvements.

All he could do was to let Shunfeng take the blame for disturbing the public so that the air traffic control department would stop causing trouble for Chendun.

The second test flight was also a complete success.

Both the flight distance and altitude were improved compared to the first time.

In Chen Chen's opinion, these are all basic operations. What he really cares about is the aircraft's delivery function.

This version of the aircraft has an upgraded express pod.

It not only has an aerodynamic streamlined design, but also has its own power.

After the mother aircraft arrives at the designated location, it drops the child aircraft.

The submachine will automatically navigate to the delivery address with the goods and then deliver the goods.

Chen Chen felt that this function was very practical, and he could also use it as an excuse to ask for more research and development funds.

However, there were some minor incidents during the test flight.

When nearby residents saw the plane dropping items into the express warehouse, they thought it was an air raid and immediately called the police.

Although the misunderstanding has been explained.

But Shunfeng received a ticket for unknown reasons.

A blink of an eye.

Thirteen test flights have passed.

Chen Chen felt that he had gained a lot.

He does have systematic assistance, but manufacturing is not as simple as I thought. If one link is not handled well, the whole thing can easily fail.

It is better to be beaten early.

He thought that if he could avoid any pitfalls in the first experiment, he would not have to pay the price for it again in the future.

Just before the fourteenth test flight began.

The fierce woman Shen Xin suddenly visited.

Upon hearing the news, Cao Zihua immediately skipped work and went straight to HaiLan Home in the shopping mall next door to dress up and prepare to give his goddess a surprise.

Therefore, Chen Chen could only meet the fierce woman alone.

"Mr. Chen, this is outrageous!"

Shen Xin slammed the financial statement on the table immediately.

With his hands on his hips, he looked aggressive.

Chen Chen smiled, but he thought to himself that if Cao Zihua saw this queen getting angry, he would have to bring his own steel wool.

"what happened?"

"What else happened? Why did we overspend another 12 million?"

"I bought some things. Don't worry, I spent all my money wisely."

Before coming, Wei Xiao repeatedly told Shen Xin to speak properly.

Everything is based on the premise of advancing the project.

Therefore, Shen Xin could only rub his chest and try his best to suppress his anger.

"What did you buy? Equipment or raw materials?"

"I bought a company." "???"

Chen Chen was calm and composed, and he couldn't do anything to Shen Xin.

Good guy.

You make this while you have dogecoin at home.

Buying a company is like buying a bottle of drink.

"what company?"

"Qiguang metamaterials."

Shen Xin immediately took out her cell phone and found the company through Tianyancha.

to be frank.

Given Shunfeng's size, acquiring a company like this seems like a joke.

But the problem is.

Why would you buy a company that makes automotive supplies at this juncture?
"What does Qi Guang have to do with our project?"

Chen Chen found it a bit complicated to explain.

Because Shen Xin looks like he doesn't understand technology.

If you tell her about metamaterials, she will ask why we are speculating in them.

So he could only say in general terms: "Qiguang is an important part of the supply chain. I think it is more reliable to have the core technology in our own hands."

"Okay, okay, you have so many crooked ideas!"

Shen Xin took out a bunch of tickets from her bag.

"Then explain to me again why our Shunfeng headquarters received so many tickets for disturbing the public."

"This one says we were flying over a residential area in the middle of the night and dropping bombs."

"What a joke! Our airports are all in the suburbs. Is this you who did this?"

Shen Xin didn't come here mainly for the money this time.

The increasing number of fines led to a talk with the Civil Aviation Administration, and the headquarters had to take it seriously.

When it comes to this.

Chen Chen was excited: "So, we want to acquire Qi Guang."

"???"

"Qiguang is in the aircraft painting business. With them here, the probability of air traffic control discovering us will be very low, and there will be no tickets."

"You mean, the plane can block radar?"

Shen Xin was not as muggle as Chen Chen imagined.

In fact, after the establishment of the Double-tailed Scorpion project, she also made up for some knowledge.

"Yes, don't worry, the paint job is already under development, and the radar used by the air traffic control during the subsequent test flights may not be useful."

"Oh...invisible...that's not right! We're deliverymen, why would we need to be invisible?"

Shen Xin suddenly understood.

Let’s not talk about whether your stealth technology can be realized, what is the starting point?
Chen Chen looked up and thought for a long time: "Give the customer a surprise?"

"You're really wasting every penny!"

At one point, Shen Xin accepted her fate.

I think it’s fine for Wei Xiao and Chen Chen to have an affair. How much money can a drone project cost?

But he obviously underestimated Chen Chen.

This handsome guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is more spendthrift than this old woman.

She even suspected that Chen Chen bought Qi Guang not for the stealth technology, but simply for money laundering.

You think about it.

Can an automotive parts factory produce invisible paint?

What's going on?

You have put so many research institutes in a difficult position.

Thinking of this, Shen Xin decided not to argue with Chen Chen anymore.

The matter is done, she wants to slap Chen Chen in the face with facts.

"On the 8th of next month, our company has been invited to participate in a military material support exercise."

"Since your plane can already fly."

"Boss Wei means that you guys have to participate too."

Wei Xiao's idea was simple. She wanted to take advantage of the drill to build a stage for Chen Dun and make her proud.

But Shen Xin felt that it would only be embarrassing.

But she was in favor of allowing Morning Shield to participate in the exercise.

Because only in this way can Wei Xiao become completely sober.

Chendun messed up on such a big occasion, which would permanently undermine Wei Xiao's self-confidence. Perhaps he would never mention the strategy of nationwide same-day delivery again in the future.

Shen Xin said as if it was an ultimatum: "Be prepared."

“If I screw up…”

"Remember to bring your crappy stealth plane with you when the court session begins."
