Incredible Insight: Toy Factory Discovers Swarm Drones

Chapter 114 A single notice: Was the clown actually myself?In the Imperial Capital, within that confidential compound closed to the public.

The night was deep, but the meeting room remained brightly lit. The ashtray was piled high with cigarette butts, and the heavy scent of tobacco mixed with an oppressive feeling that permeated the air.

Liu Jianguo sat in his chair, clutching the newly signed procurement contract worth eighty million in total, looking dazed.

Although the items were purchased and the aircraft carrier’s urgent need was resolved, the mystery in his heart was snowballing, growing larger and larger.

Why did that company from the Ugly Country want to return the goods?

With a clear hundredfold profit margin, where they could become millionaires just by flipping the goods, why would they choose this critical moment to go crazy and offend their only supplier?

This didn’t fit the logic of capital seeking profit.

Just then, the meeting room door was pushed open.

A thin middle-aged man wearing a Mao suit entered. His name was Chen Guobang, the person in charge of national security-related affairs, and the ”Old Chen” Liu Jianguo spoke of.

He held a thin document in his hand and walked with a brisk pace. A very strange expression hung on his face, as if he had just watched some comedy film and wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to.

”Old Chen, did you find out?” the Old General looked up and asked in a low voice.

”I’ve found out.”

Old Chen walked to the conference table, gently placed the document on the surface, scanned everyone present, and finally let his gaze rest on Liu Jianguo’s face, saying meaningfully:

”Jianguo, this time... you’ve really performed a great service. No, I should say, your ’young friend’ Little Li has truly given us a massive surprise this time.”

”What do you mean?” Liu Jianguo’s heart skipped a beat, and that familiar feeling of ’Li Jiajun Phobia’ returned.

”Titan Heavy Industry, which is that company from the Ugly Country.”

Old Chen pointed at the document, his tone becoming serious, though the playfulness in his eyes could not be hidden:

”After our deep investigation into all their capital flows, customs declarations, and the upstream and downstream of their supply chain over the past five years... we discovered a shocking fact.”

”This company doesn’t have a production line at all.”

”What?!”

A chorus of exclamations rang out in the meeting room.

”No production line? Then where did the arresting cables they sold to the Navy of the Ugly Country come from?” A lieutenant general’s eyes widened.

”Buying and reselling.”

Old Chen shrugged and threw out the truth that made everyone’s scalp tingle:

”They are just a shell company, a middleman. For the past five years, all the ’Titan-1’ top-tier arresting cables they supplied to the Navy of the Ugly Country have all originated from the same place...”

At this point, Old Chen paused, glanced at the already dumbfounded Liu Jianguo, and said word by word:

”Eastern Country, Lu Province, Baishui City, Li Family Toy Factory.”

Silence.

A deathly silence.

The entire meeting room seemed to have been hit with a pause button.

Everyone’s brains crashed at this moment. They looked at the document on the table, then at Liu Jianguo, and then thought about how they had just been worrying themselves gray over this single rope, even preparing to endure humiliation to sign an unequal treaty...

An extremely surreal feeling instantly pierced through everyone’s reason.

’I... Holy crap...’

Liu Jianguo’s lips trembled as he thought to himself.

’So after all that fuss, we were being choked to death, and it turns out the hand choking our neck... was the one we handed over ourselves?!’

’The core equipment used by the aircraft carriers of the Ugly Country is actually a jump rope made by a toy factory in our Eastern Country?!’

’This... even novels wouldn’t dare to be written this way!’

He had roughly guessed it before, and now it was finally confirmed.

”Then... then why did they want to return the goods this time?” The Old General was, after all, someone who had weathered great storms; he was the first to react and seized the key point.

”This is even more interesting.”

Old Chen couldn’t help but laugh out loud. ”According to internal communications from the high-level officials of the Ugly Country that we intercepted, it’s because The Pentagon of the Ugly Country, in order to blockade our aircraft carrier technology, ordered a strict ban on Titan Heavy Industry exporting any related equipment to us.”
