Chapter 148 Cooperation Achieved!

"The Main Streamer doesn't just know how to make torture devices, he can also do business diagnostics? An all-rounder?"

There was still silence on the other end of the line.

This silence made the atmosphere in the live stream, which had just livened up, tense once again.

Every second felt incredibly long.

Li Jiajun gripped his phone, his palms slightly sweaty. He was reasonably satisfied with his performance just now, but the person on the other end was, after all, a business tycoon managing a hundred-billion-dollar empire. His thoughts were too deep; no one could guess what he was thinking.

Just as the Netizens in the live stream were speculating whether President Wang was "calling the police"...

The oppressive silence on the other end was suddenly broken by a burst of loud laughter.

"Haha... Hahahaha!"

The laughter was booming and powerful, filled with surprise and the delight of discovering a new continent; it didn't sound at all like he was talking to a stranger.

This sudden laughter left Li Jiajun and hundreds of thousands of Netizens completely bewildered.

"???"

"He laughed? President Wang laughed?"

"What's going on? I don't quite get it. Was what the Streamer said just now a joke?"

"This laughter... it's full of vigor, doesn't feel faked. But why is he laughing?"

Before everyone could figure it out, President Wang's smiling voice sounded again, his tone crisp and without a hint of hesitation.

"Interesting, really interesting. Li Jiajun, right? Alright! We at Express Delivery Company will invest in your project! Let's collaborate!"

Li Jiajun was completely stunned.

It worked?

It was that easy?

He had prepared a bellyful of backup plans, and had even thought about what to say if the other party tried to bargain.

As a result, the other party just... agreed?

That was just too fast!

The Netizens in the live stream were even more filled with question marks.

"Holy crap? Just like that? Is this scripted? This must be scripted!"

"Wait, are big shots' decisions always this fast? They haven't even met, and he dares to invest in a project over a single phone call?"

"I'm starting to doubt if that's actually President Wang on the other end. Could it be an actor hired by the Main Streamer?"

Seeming to sense Li Jiajun's silence, President Wang laughed again.

"Hehe, Comrade Xiao Li, do you think I agreed too quickly?"

Li Jiajun's mouth twitched, thinking to himself, 'Isn't that obvious?'

Before he could answer, President Wang took the initiative to explain the reason.

"Just when you introduced yourself as being from Li Family Toy Factory, I already had my assistant check your background."

President Wang's tone carried a hint of jest, "I have to say, your resume is much more spectacular than the business analysis you just gave."

Li Jiajun's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition surged into his mind.

He heard President Wang on the other end read out slowly, in the tone of a storyteller.

"Li Jiajun, current factory director of Li Family Toy Factory in Baishui City. Major work one: Swarm Drone. Final use: In the Middle East battlefield, in the artistic form of wrath of the beehive, completely annihilated Israel's iron fist armored brigade."

Live stream barrage: "It's here, it's here! The classic recap I was waiting for!"

"Work two: dragon knight no. 1 high-performance children's vehicle. Comes with optical stealth coating, top speed of 300 km/h. Major achievement: Single-handedly paralyzed the Baishui City traffic system and played the entire city's police force for three hours."

Live stream barrage: "Hahaha, precious footage of early humans taming a cruise missile!"

"Work three: black tortoise all-terrain mobility scooter for the elderly. Equipped with Van der Waals force tires and composite armor, it was purchased in large quantities by a warlord in the Golden Triangle and, combined with a copy of The Art of War, successfully unified the Sanbianpo region."

"Work four: fitness jump rope for giants. True purpose: Arresting Cable for active-duty carrier-based aircraft of the Ugly Country Navy. Final result: Reversed the chokehold on the Ugly Country Navy and made a great contribution to our country's aircraft carrier project."

"Work five: jia an no. 1 super safe gas canisters. Comes with a dangerous operation manual, and under the reverse interpretation of another Middle East client, it was successfully converted into a jia an rocket launcher, once again delivering warmth to the people of Israel."

President Wang read them out one by one; with every item he read, Li Jiajun's face turned a shade darker.

The Netizens in the live stream were already laughing hysterically, the screen filled with barrages like "Don't be afraid, Streamer, we all know you're 'criminal'," "The Streamer's glorious resume," and "Suggest applying for World Heritage status."

After finishing, President Wang was silent for a few seconds, seemingly digesting this overly brilliant report.

Li Jiajun felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat; he felt the cooperation was definitely ruined, and perhaps the other party would call the police the next second.

However, President Wang's next words completely exceeded his expectations.

"Xiao Li," President Wang's tone was not only unafraid but full of appreciation, along with the excitement of meeting a worthy opponent, "I know all about these things of yours. The internet says you're quite the 'criminal' and that your methods are wild."

"But, I like it!"

"I, Wang, was just a delivery boy on the street back in the day, fighting my way up to where I am today. What kind of storms haven't I seen? In this life, the people I admire most are young people like you. Capable, daring to think and act, and not playing by the rules!"

"The things you caused before, the problem wasn't you, it was your clients!" President Wang's tone became very firm, "Think about it, what kind of people do you collaborate with? Either warlords or black market merchants, how could something not go wrong?"

"But we at Express Delivery Company are different!"

President Wang's voice rose suddenly, filled with confidence.

"We are a legitimate domestic leading enterprise! We serve the national economy and people's livelihood! We conduct R&D openly and honestly, with complete paperwork, reasonable and legal; I don't believe this can be requisitioned again!"

"How could such a coincidence happen? Xiao Li, don't worry, what happened before was just pure bad luck! Collaborating with me is absolutely stable!"

Hearing these words, Li Jiajun was completely stunned.

He listened blankly to the words coming from the other end of the line, feeling a warm current surge into his heart.

All this time, everyone had treated him as a troublemaker, with only Uncle Liu helplessly cleaning up his messes.

But today, someone actually, a business tycoon he had never met, saw through his history of misdeeds to the essence of his technology and attributed everything to bad luck!

This... this is a soulmate!

Li Jiajun was so moved that his eyes were a little wet.

President Wang seemed unaware of how much of an impact his words had on this young man; he just continued in a teasing tone: "Besides, I also saw the news. You've been having a pretty rough time lately, haven't you? You approached so many domestic toy companies, and they all rejected you like you were a plague?"

Li Jiajun's face turned red instantly; the emotion that had just surged up was immediately replaced by embarrassment. He felt his face burning, wishing he could crawl into a crack in the ground.

'Damn, they even looked that up.'

His frustrated expression was displayed in its entirety to all the Netizens through the camera.

The Netizens, who were just marveling at the big shot's boldness, could no longer hold back when they saw this scene.

"Hahahaha!"

"Public execution! This is a barefaced public execution!"

"The Main Streamer's face is red! No, it's red through the black!"

"President Wang: Little brother, what's wrong with you? You can't even handle a small matter like this?"

"That's heart-wrenching! Main Streamer, don't pretend you don't see it, we all know you're embarrassed!"

Facing the screen full of ridicule, Li Jiajun could only keep his eyes focused on his nose and his nose on his heart, exercising his traditional skill—if you can't see the barrage, just pretend it's not there.

President Wang on the other end naturally didn't know that a large-scale social death scene was playing out here; he thought Li Jiajun was embarrassed because he had hit the nail on the head.

He laughed heartily, ended the topic, and his tone became formal.

"Alright, enough joking."

"How about this, see when you're free and come directly to our headquarters in Shenzhen. Let's talk in person, finalize the details of the cooperation, and by the way, study what kind of product we should collaborate on."
