Chapter 352 - Chapter 352: Chapter 233: Toy Tycoon! (2/2)

“Oh, that.

Lin Chuan chuckled, “I’ll just contact her father; he’s in charge of the steel plant. We’ll need him for worker management and technical supervision.”

“Okay.”

The Little Landlady nodded.

Then, the two began to prepare for tomorrow’s partnership discussions, including hotel accommodations, itinerary, cooperation details, weapons pricing, and more.

Fortunately, Lin Chuan was well-versed in military weapons trade, particularly the needs of the Hass Armed Forces, so these preparations did not take much time.

…

The next day, at 10 a.m.

A plane flying from Southeast Asia to Anling crossed the cerulean sky, its engines roaring uniquely as it bathed in golden light and smoothly landed at the airport.

Not long after.

Dressed in a deep blue suit with his stubble cleanly shaved, Leo, along with his aides and two staff members, emerged from the airport, looking around.

“Mr. Leo, hello.”

Lin Chuan recognized Leo immediately and approached him, greeting him in Arabic.

Arabic is one of the main languages used in the regions where the Hass Armed Forces are located.

In the Middle East, 60% of the population speaks Arabic.

In reality, Lin Chuan had never encountered Arabic, but in the simulated world, his military weapons were mainly sold to the Middle East, requiring frequent communication with people from the region.

Initially, he relied on translators, but often they failed to accurately convey his meaning.

For example.

Once, a representative from an armed group in the Middle East repeatedly emphasized to Lin Chuan that they had no designs on Gansu and Sichuan and asked not to be maligned.

Lin Chuan was baffled.

Later, he found out that during the weapon price negotiations, when he had offered the best discount possible but the other party wanted even lower prices, Lin Chuan had remarked, “Don’t be greedy.”

However.

The translator had interpreted it as “You’ve already occupied Gansu, now you want to take Sichuan,” leading to a complete mix-up.

Therefore, Lin Chuan started earnestly studying Arabic afterward.

Now, he was fluent in Arabic, fully capable of barrier-free communication in military weapons trade.

Hearing the familiar Arabic, Leo raised his eyebrows and hastily replied in Mandarin, “Hello, Mr. Lin.”

Although it was a bit awkward, it was the outcome of his diligent practice the previous night.

The two shook hands amicably.

Then Leo said, “Mr. Lin, my Mandarin is not very good, please forgive me.”

Lin Chuan laughed heartily and continued in Arabic, “No problem, we can just speak in Arabic.”

He spoke very fluently, which took Leo and others by surprise.

Beside Lin Chuan, also there to pick up guests, the Little Landlady, Zhang Xinxin, was also surprised.

She had no idea when her boss had learned such gibberish, as she couldn’t understand a word.

Nevertheless, she stood beside Lin Chuan with a smile, looking obedient.

“Your Arabic impresses me,” Leo expressed admiringly.

“Actually, I have an indescribable affinity with Arabic,” Lin Chuan replied smilingly.

“I would love to hear more,” Leo followed Lin Chuan, walking out of the airport.

Lin Chuan then shared some cultural characteristics of the Middle East known to him and some amusing stories from his studies of Arabic.

Lin Chuan was as familiar with the history and culture of the region, especially where the Hass Armed Forces were located, as if it were his own backyard.

For example, ancient cultures like Sumer, Akkad, Babylon, Persia, Arab, and the Ottoman Empire, as well as the Islamic culture Leo followed, were all brought up by Lin Chuan, leaving Leo and his companions astonished.

“Mr. Lin, I never thought you’d understand us so well,” Leo expressed, using the honorific “you” out of respect.

Walking next to Lin Chuan, he looked up and down at the young man who made him feel extraordinarily familiar.

Lin Chuan wore a tailored suit with a white shirt underneath. His stature was slender and his face clean and sunny. Though young, there was a mature insight in his eyes and his every move exuded a unique aura.

This feeling was rare for Leo.

Yu Qin, who often collaborated with him before, had never given him this impression; Yu Qin was more about leveraging power, with a somewhat domineering air.

But Lin Chuan was convincing.

Young yet experienced, this unusual combination was Leo’s first impression of Lin Chuan.

He didn’t dare underestimate this young man.

He also looked twice at the young woman beside him.

Not because Xinxin was beautiful, but because she carried a calm, composed quality about her, unreserved and appropriate in behavior.

Lin Chuan smiled faintly, continuing in Arabic, “Mr. Leo, I haven’t specifically researched these topics, but life has imparted them to me.”

“You are Allah’s messenger, and I am even more looking forward to our collaboration now.”

Leo gave a high praise.

Lin Chuan laughed heartily, “So am I.”

Then, the group got into the car and headed for the Baoying Grand Hotel in Anling City.

Lin Chuan’s approach, showing both respect and recognition, undoubtedly maximized the goodwill of Leo and his companions.

He knew that the Hass Armed Forces, represented by Leo, urgently needed a batch of military weapons, which is why Leo eagerly sought him out.

If it were just a single transaction, he wouldn’t have shared so much with Leo.

But Lin Chuan hoped to turn the Hass Armed Forces into a long-term partner, to make them a “showcase,” thereby opening the door to military weapons trade in the Middle East and promoting their weapons vigorously.

And so began the era of the Arms Tycoon.

Or rather, the Toy Tycoon!
