Chapter 41: Super Fool (Part II)
Ren Lei didn't tell a lie...... Indeed, soon, the plane arrived.
The plane did not fly over, but ...... It was shipped!
Throughout the night, the makeshift "airport" was brightly lit, with convoys coming and going, hauling in large metal structure parts, and then several engineering team workers drove the machines and jingled around the scene......
I randomly found a small room at the back of the warehouse, put a hammock and slept overnight, and after dawn, I looked out at the "runway...... Then he rubbed his eyes vigorously.
Plane!
There are several planes!
I opened my mouth wide and was ready to exclaim at first, but soon the exclamation turned to anger, and I rushed straight out and found Ren Lei on the side of the runway.
"This ...... That's what you're talking about? "I blushed.
"Yes." Ren Lei replied with a very calm look.
I put my head in my hands: "God, where did you get all this rags!!" ”
At the airport, the closest to me was one of the oldest C130 military transport planes, the fuselage of which was broken and looked as if it had been scrapped and dragged out of a waste plant - and I later learned that it was.
On the entire runway, there are about four aircraft, an old C130, an old "Young Fox", an old Yi-76, and an An-12.
What these planes have in common is that they are military aircraft, and the most "new" looking ones feel like they should be sent to a military museum rather than on an open runway.
God testifies that even the special plane of the General Trapped Tower is much newer than it looks!
"You...... Where the hell did you get all this rubbish? I looked at Ren Lei depressedly.
"Funding!" Ren Lei stressed again: "We don't have enough funds! Chen yang! You have to understand that. We have spent a great deal of effort to collect these aircraft from the disposal channels of end-of-life military items in various places...... It is not easy to do this in a short period of time. ”
"But...... They are all military aircraft! I took a breath.
"Nonsense!" Ren Lei finally glared: "Where can I buy a civil aviation plane?" How many civil aviation companies are there in the whole of Africa? How many civil aircraft are there in the whole of Africa? How much money do we have? Do you expect me to buy a few Boeing 747s or 757s and come back? Sighing, he said in a low voice: "Moreover, in some economically backward areas, it is also a common practice in many parts of the world to use retired military transport aircraft as civil aircraft, so it's okay." ”
I finally nodded.
Then I casually walked over to a plane......
I have to say that Ren Lei is still more responsible. Because the appearance of these planes is so unsightly, the rust of some of the fuselage almost corrodes the cabin of the aircraft, and there are many perforations, as well as the rust of blue and green...... If others see such a plane, I am afraid that this East African United Airlines is on the verge of bankruptcy!
There were also staff members who took all kinds of paints and coatings. The surfaces of several planes are carefully painted...... We even got the logo of our "East African United Airlines" on the fuselage of two planes, and the words!
It's all in shape......
But the next scene made me completely angry!
I circled around a C130 for a long time and suddenly found a very serious problem!
Because from the mechanical cabin...... This plane doesn't seem to have engines and all the machinery!
"Not really." Ren Lei said lightly: "All planes have no engines, no internal machinery, and no fuel tanks!" Even all the exposed propellers were matched by me later. ”
“……… Don't have an engine? No machinery? I swallowed hard: "That...... That is, these planes are all fake? It's all ......."
"How is it fake?" Ren Lei said firmly: "It's true! It's all real planes. ”
"But these are models!" I raised an eyebrow: "Can these guys fly?" It's just a bunch of iron! ”
"Of course you can't fly." Ren Lei looked at me strangely: "Have you ever seen an airplane without an engine that can fly?" ”
"That'...... They're just piled up on the runway...... You can't even move around the track and run two laps! ”
"Of course not!" Ren Lei thought for a while: "Unless you use a trailer to tow it." ”
Looking at my puzzled eyes, Ren Lei added: "Moreover, even if I am willing to spend a sky-high price to install internal machinery on these aircraft. They can't fly...... Well, like this C130. When we found it, it had been broken down into seven pieces and lay in a garbage bin of war-damaged military equipment. It took us nine trailers to get it here, and it took us an overnight to put it together...... They are all temporarily welded with electric welding, and some places are really rotten, and the welding can't be welded, so two pieces of iron sheet can only be added, and then they are temporarily fixed with rivets...... Don't say flying, shake or move a few times, I'm afraid it will fall apart! I even suspect that it now looks like it's a whole plane......" [Kiss of Heaven hand-hitting]
It was very faceless, and before he finished his words, the young fox transport plane not far from us was being dragged by the trailer and slowly moved, but suddenly there was a bang, and the left wing of the plane fell off, causing the workers to be busy again, and quickly went to transfer the crane to reinstall it......
Ren Lei pretended not to see this scene, but continued: "In short, it looks very similar, just do it!" ”
"A few real models......" I said in a desperate tone, "you don't expect me to take these things and fool the American investigative officers away, do you?" ”
"Why not?" Ren Lei glanced at me quickly: "They won't ask you to show them the plane taking off." ”
"That's technology!" I was depressed: "They always have to look at our technology!" It depends on our technical department, and even technical equipment, but we are now an empty shell, where is the technology to see! ”
"They won't." Ren Lei thought for a while: "There must be a limit to finding trouble, if they go too far, it will be equivalent to tearing their faces." But they won't turn against us now, and they won't go back. It's just a trouble-seeking experience. Everyone is pulling the skin, it depends on who can pull it well. ”
I pointed to the planes: "What about these guys?" As long as others take a closer look and open the cabin, they will find that this pile of treasures of yours is simply a pile of scrap metal! ”
"It's simple." Ren Lei smiled.
Soon, some people were putting up barriers around several planes, along with eye-catching "Do Not Approach" signs.
"What is this for?" I frowned.
"Good excuse." Ren Lei smiled: "Don't you think the paint and paint on the plane are very new?" At that time, it was said that our plane had just been undergone maintenance, and it had just been sprayed with new paint, and it needed to volatilize, so it was forbidden for people to approach...... What a good excuse. ”
Ren Lei said it very lightly, but then, it's my headache.
"Chen Yang!" Just after the construction of the "airfield" was completed, Ren Lei's convoy began to retreat, and he said to me: "There is only so much we can do." You see, now there are airports, there are aircraft warehouses, there are runways, and even airplanes are there...... The other party is just a pretending inspection, and our documents are all flawless...... The rest, it's up to you. After all, this company is nominally owned by you and the g-country, so it is inconvenient for my people to show their faces, so as not to leave a handle for the Americans. So, that's the end of my job. ”
"But I still need a company." I smiled wryly: "An airline can't just have airports and planes, right?" I also need a company! ”
"It's simple." Ren Lei said lightly: "Rent an office building, get a batch of desks, put up a few old-fashioned computers, hang a company signboard, get a few rows of filing cabinets, and arrange a group of people to pretend to be company employees...... It shouldn't be difficult to fool around for a few hours and pretend...... That's what you said. ”
"Are you ready for me?"
"No ......" Ren Lei shook his head and sighed, and then suddenly shouted at me: "Brother! I've exhausted all my resources to get such an airport for you! We have limited funds! I've spent all three of our dollars in Africa to get this airport! I've spent all my jīng power on it, and I really don't have any other strength to build a company for you......
"Okay. I'll get what you said. I gritted my teeth and thought to myself: Isn't it just a few desks, a few computers, and a few rows of filing cabinets! When the time comes, get a group of people to sit in the room, and when the other party comes to inspect, just make a good show.
Seeing Ren Lei get into the car and leave, and wave goodbye to him, I once again looked at this "airport" that I had made overnight with extremely desperate eyes.
And a couple of baby planes......
I really felt like I wanted to hit my head first.
Depressed, he left by car, leaving only a team of engineers left by Ren Lei at the airport to continue to guard and maintain here. I went back to the city, quickly found all the people, and then I urgently arranged the division of labor.
Buy office supplies, office furniture, office appliances!
Rent an office building with the simplest decoration ......
"Fifth Brother ......" A brother who was assigned to the task had a bitter face: "You said that renting an office building, I don't think it's difficult...... But the decoration ...... Normal decoration is not complete in a month or two! ”
"No! I'll just give you a day and a half! Just a day and a half! I thought about it and gritted my teeth and said, "Anyway, it's fooling people!" I estimate that the U.S. investigators spend about an hour in the company at most. All I ask is that within that hour, the house doesn't collapse and the ceiling doesn't fall off! For the rest, you can fool around as much as you want! In a word: I just need to survive that examination for more than an hour! ”
(Notice: In the past few days, I have changed it to update in the morning according to the requirements of readers, but I have something tomorrow and can't update it in the morning, so tomorrow's update will be placed in the evening, so I hereby inform!) )

Attached: [cold and warm self-knowledge] (not canvassing, if you are interested, you are idle anyway)2007-10-4-08:53
You've seen all these things happening these days.
Looking at the book reviews in the book review section that made me helpless and ridiculous, I suddenly had a little delusion......
I did experience low cháo, but since the second half of last month, I have come out and I have a feeling for myself, and I have gradually regained that handy feeling of writing.
I've started to save my manuscripts.
At first, all the readers suggested that I should save the manuscript.
Okay, I've saved it.
The result? Someone jumped out and scolded me for not sending the manuscript, which is a big bad conscience!
It is not to exist, and it is not to be ......
I suddenly understood that for some people who look at me unpleasantly, no matter what I do, some people will find fault with you and scold you......
Why? Because scolding is a job with no technical content, as soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip, you can say whatever you want...... Again, there is no tax on farting.
I can ignore these jumping clowns.
What I don't understand the most is: pulling a monthly pass is a bad mentality?
If you don't pull a monthly pass, is you in the right mind?
What is the rationale for this?
And what I don't understand is...... Good or bad character?
This is the most funny, the most ridiculous, the most ridiculous, the most boring.
Good or bad character? I have always believed that knowing people and knowing faces does not know hearts! Even if you've known each other for a few years, you may not be able to see through each other.
What's more, on the Internet, with this bit of fighting cattle on the Internet, you dare to say that my dancing character is good or not? When real people have sharp eyes, do they have sharp eyes?
There are people I offend who are regularly banned by me, but as soon as they are released, they will be scolded in my book review section...... These people who are purely well-fed and have nothing to do are troublemakers. I know it in my heart.
They would repeatedly attack my character, and then deliberately distort everything I say and do...... I won't get angry or have mood swings.
What saddens me is the practice of some readers.
When I entered the industry, an old author told me very melancholy: don't dig your heart out of readers.
I didn't understand it at the time, and then he explained to me: readers are very realistic, when you behave well, they will love you, but as long as you behave badly. Then there will be many of those who shouted that they loved you to death, and they will abandon you immediately and without hesitation! Many people, they will not remember how hard you have worked, they will not remember how hard you have been, and they will not show mercy to you for the sake of the happiness you have brought them!
*********************
At the time of these words, the old reader was in the middle of a low cháo period, and then he was so disheartened by the reader that he left the line of work and stopped writing.
The last thing he told me was that readers want to "read books."
For most readers, these people don't care about the character, the author, or the years of hard work. Just put the most realistic: whoever can show them ten chapters a day, they will love whom! But if, at the beginning you can show them ten chapters a day, and at the end of the day, you can't hold on anymore and start to reduce the amount...... Then, there will be a considerable number of people who once loved you at the beginning and will turn around and scold you mercilessly!
The Internet is so impetuous. Not many people pay attention to the paleness behind them, and most people just go with the flow and follow their feelings.
*********************
In fact, I didn't believe a lot of the words of this old author. My xìng zi belongs to the more explosive type, but I believe in one thing, which is "comparing the heart to the heart".
Do you know why I didn't save the manuscript in the past? How many people know?
Those who know the truth are always in the minority.
Perhaps, only my only group of dancing fans is known, and the few readers who have talked to me deeply.
I've also been a reader. I know the pain of waiting for renewal when I'm a reader. So I became an author. I know that readers are looking forward to updates, and at this time, if I have a manuscript in my hand but don't send it out, and the reader waits, I feel like I can't get over it.
Every time I am in good shape and can write a little more, I will send it out! Leave a word!
The result? As a result, sometimes I have 6,000 words a day (basically fixed updates), and sometimes I am in good shape, 8,000 words, 9,000 words, 10,000 words......
And then what...... Do you know what surprised me?
I did this, but someone scolded me: dancing "has always" been unstable in updates!!
I wouldn't care if one person said that, if a lot of people said that......
Do you know how I felt at the time?
I'm afraid I'm the only one at the beginning, I've written a book for three years, five sets of works and four complete sets, and the remaining one is being serialized, and at the same time, I've maintained more than 200,000 words of updates almost every month for three years...... But instead, I was scolded by readers for updating "unstable" people!
If this is still called instability, what is stability?
The word "grievance" is written out, but there are only a dozen strokes, but it is really put in my heart, and only I know what it feels like.
*********************
I think I treat readers in the most kind way, I know that readers have to wait hard, I don't save the manuscript, I write it and send it immediately......
But what? The result?
When I was on the list with the authors who had saved the manuscripts, what surprised me was that all of a sudden, many people came to scold me for my bad character and for being unkind......
Why? Because I update less than those who have saved manuscripts!
Moreover, in the face of the other party's renewal like cháo water, I seemed very pale and powerless...... Why? Because I didn't save the manuscript, I couldn't update it like a volcano like everyone else.
It's just that at this time, in the face of many readers who criticize me, I have always had some words in my heart that I haven't said.
Dear readers, do you know where the 'deposits' of my dancing have gone? So please go back and look at my updates in the previous year, many of them, some of them have more than 1,000 words a day, and some of them have more than 2,000 words or 3,000 words a day......
These 1,000 words, 2,000 words, 3,000 words, if you look at them in one day, there are not many ...... Well, half a year, a year down...... How many two thousand words is that? How many three thousand words?
If I had only sent 6,000 words a day, I would have saved all of these extra words and not sent them...... Why am I working so hard?
As a result, I became a "bad character" and a "bad person" in the mouth of readers.
I really want to laugh...... But I can't laugh, I really can't laugh......
What is the taste of blockage in the heart?
If a person drinks water, he knows how warm and cold he is!
*********************
Or even if I say it more explicitly...... I've already started saving my manuscript. What does such a move represent?
Did I learn to dance smartly? I've been scolded a lot, but I'm learning jīng?
Still is...... Feeling numb? Or maybe the original sincerity has gradually disappeared......
Some people say that I canvass for votes is too utilitarian...... I want to laugh, I really want to laugh.
In my opinion, that's not utilitarian.
And people like me, who originally wrote as much as I wrote and immediately sent it to everyone to see, have begun to learn to save manuscripts...... This is called utilitarianism! Let's think for ourselves what it means.
*********************
At the beginning of this book, I fought with Tomato for a monthly pass, in the middle of the book, I fought for a monthly pass with Infinity, and now, it has ushered in a moon pass like rì Zhongtian......
I gradually felt that my enthusiasm had almost burned, and the rest was pale and numb
Remember when we used to pile up jīng buildings all night, and remember when we used to chat enthusiastically in the book review section?
Now I'm not interested at all. I'm bored, I'm bored...... The endless abuse made me even afraid to read the book review section.
When I'm distorted by someone, I can bear it. When I was distorted by a bunch of people every month...... I just want to be a little numb.
Writing a book...... It's really not an easy job.
Now many people are praising the moon pass, saying that the moon pass is more than 10,000 words, the month is more than 300,000 words, saying that the monthly pass is more than 10,000 in a single month, and that the moon pass can be pulled to thousands of monthly passes with one call.
Everything is very similar to my most beautiful state in June and July.
But do you know what Guan Guan and I said on QQ? On the contrary, I told him that it is impossible to maintain a good attitude and be a good writer forever, and when your state slips one day, you will find that the person who scolds you is more "enthusiastic" than the person who praised you at the beginning. [Heaven's Kiss Hand-hitting]
This world, and the human heart, is so realistic.
Finally, I would like to thank all the readers who have accompanied me all the way down, and thank you for your support. Dancing can't show your appreciation, all you can do is write a good book for you to read.
Thank you to those who abused me, your abuse made me gradually become more cunning and gradually learned to protect myself.
