Chapter 349 - Chapter 349: Chapter 231 How Can a Web Novel Writer Be So Amazing, Its Impossible to Live? (5800-Word Mega Chapter)_3 (2/2)
Leo took a look and, realizing that Mr. Lin had accepted the pirated novel as a meeting gift and that it was indeed effective, he replied,
“This is an account borrowed from the staff at Fries Novel. My name is Leo, and I would like to consult you on some questions about weapon manufacturing.”
After all, this was an International Forum, and he was using someone else’s account.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, he didn’t completely spell it out.
Currently, it was still a probing stage.
“Consulting on weapon manufacturing, eh? Welcome to the conversation.” At home, Lin Chuan’s reply was also comparatively professional and did not cross any lines.
“May I add your contact information?”
Leo asked very politely.
He held great expectations for Lin Chuan.
He also believed that Lin Chuan, who could write a novel like “Arms Tycoon,” with a deep understanding of weapons, would not let him down.
Once he could obtain a ‘Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher’ from Lin Chuan, or even some patents, and the price was within their affordable range, he could bid farewell to the Morgan Group!
Yu, you ask for the moon, and I will just seek others.
“Yes, you send your contact information to me, and I will contact you,” Lin Chuan replied with relative caution.
“OK!”
Leo immediately entered his contact information.
Lin Chuan was a man of his word and contacted Leo in another way.
Leo could hardly contain his grin, and as he walked downstairs with a smile on his face, he thought for a moment, then turned around and shouted,
“Hao, Hou, if I find out you’re pirating Mr. Lin’s novel again, watch out, I…”
He patted the gear at his waist as he spoke.
Hao and Hou nodded their heads in fright.
Leo, smiling, then focused on contacting Lin Chuan: “Mr. Lin, I’m delighted to make your acquaintance, you can call me Leo directly.”
“Hello, Leo.”
“Mr. Lin, forgive my impertinence, but your ‘Arms Tycoon’ is very professional, very authentic, and the immersion is impressive. I stayed up all last night reading it, the story is so tense…”
Leo started off with a heap of compliments.
For a man who had spent years in the theater of war to use so many words of praise for literature and novel stories was also tough for him.
Leo swore that this was definitely the limit of his compliments.
In his heart, Lin Chuan, the arms tycoon and weapons expert, deserved his praise!
“Leo, staying up all night is not good for your health. Even when reading novels, you should look after your health.”
At home, Lin Chuan replied with concern to this enthusiastic true fan.
“Thank you for your concern.”
Leo was pleased with Lin Chuan’s amiable response. To him, it was the beginning of a friendly conversation, so he asked,
“Mr. Lin, I’m very curious, in ‘Arms Tycoon’, you describe these weapons in such detail. Do you also manufacture weapons in reality?”
“That’s a dangerous question.”
Lin Chuan replied with a chuckle, “However, manufacturing weapons is not as difficult as you might imagine.”
Leo clenched his right fist, excitedly speaking to his staff member, “See, doesn’t Mr. Lin’s response imply that he can manufacture those weapons?”
“Yes! Should we directly ask him about the Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher, or ask if he sells weapons?”
The staff member suggested.
Leo took a deep breath, thinking the counsel was reasonable, and immediately asked, “Mr. Lin, do you sell weapons?”
There was silence for quite a while on Lin Chuan’s end.
The excitement on Leo’s face gradually faded, and he muttered, “Could we have been too presumptuous with our question?”
After thinking, the staff member said, “Very possible, Mr. Lin could be wary of us being those phishing types.”
Leo slapped his thigh and immediately typed out a message,
“Mr. Lin, my question might have been a bit direct, but please let me clarify that I’m not one of those little darlings phishing on the dark web. I genuinely want to establish a collaboration with you, so I took the liberty of asking that question.”
In fact,
During the time Lin Chuan was silent, he was verifying Leo’s IP address, identity information, and encrypting the current contact to prevent being spotted.
Before long,
Lin Chuan verified Leo’s IP address and completed encryption of the current communication, and only then did he reply, “What kind of cooperation would you like to discuss?”
On the other side,
Leo took a deep breath.
Since the conversation had already reached this point, it was better to be direct about his intentions.
So, he replied earnestly, “Mr. Lin, I’m interested in purchasing some advanced weapons equipment; do you have any to sell?”
