Chapter 28 Li Jiajun: Make this a big event, I want to be famous.
The perspective shifts back to a place in Middle East, where yellow sand fills the sky.
In that secret command post filled with a solemn atmosphere, Hassan stood with his hands behind his back in front of a massive military map.
His gaze was sharp as a falcon's, fixed intently on the areas highlighted with a red marker on the map—these were the important military strongholds, radar stations, and armored unit assembly points of his mortal enemy, Israel.
The air inside the tent felt exceptionally heavy as a major battle was imminent. More than a dozen core military Commanders under Hassan stood on both sides, their expressions serious, holding their breath as they awaited their leader's final orders.
The weapons at everyone's waist and their sand-covered military boots silently spoke of the impending storm of blood and slaughter.
Just then, the tent flap was suddenly pushed open, and Hassan's adjutant walked in quickly, his face filled with irrepressible excitement and agitation.
"Leader!" He walked quickly to Hassan's side, his voice trembling slightly with excitement. He tried to lower his volume, but the surge of excitement could not be hidden. "Just received news, the artwork has successfully entered the Red Sea, and it is expected to reach our designated port in 12 hours!"
This news instantly sliced through the oppressive air inside the tent.
The officers present all showed expressions of anticipation and fanaticism; some subconsciously clenched their fists, while others let out low, beast-like growls.
Hassan's face, tense for days, finally revealed a trace of a smile. He slowly turned around to face his most elite Commanders, his voice not loud but filled with power.
"Gentlemen, those running dogs of the Ugly Country under Israel have always thought their expensive Iron Dome and merkava were invincible. They mock our weapons as backward, mock our tactics as primitive, and treat us like a bunch of bandits who only know how to carry AKs and hide behind sand dunes."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone, an expression that made everyone feel their blood burning.
"Soon, we will use the toys from our Eastern Country friend to teach them a good lesson. Let them know that in the face of absolute quantity and a brand-new mode of warfare, those expensive steel fortresses of theirs are nothing more than a pile of moving coffins that will run into their own graves!"
"Pass on my order!" He raised his voice. "All combat units, enter the highest state of combat readiness! The drone pilot teams are to immediately conduct final simulation training! Prepare to welcome our swarm! Prepare to welcome victory!"
"Yes!" All officers roared in unison, their morale instantly ignited to its peak.
At this moment of high fighting spirit, Hassan suddenly had a thought.
He signaled everyone to be quiet and walked to the computer.
'That Eastern Country friend should be done with his work by now.' This thought flashed through Hassan's mind, and he decided to contact the other party. After all, the art exhibition was about to take place, and listening to the artist's own advice could never hurt.
He clicked on Factory Director Li's avatar, pondered for a moment, and typed a line of text.
【A White Cloth on the Head】: "My friend, your artwork is about to arrive. I am preparing to hold a grand debut for it. Do you have any suggestions?"
...
Eastern Country, Lu Province, Baishui City, Li Family Toy Factory.
Li Jiajun was lying leisurely in his boss's chair, feet propped up on the desk, drinking iced fat happy water while scrolling through short videos of beautiful women dancing, enjoying the simple and unadorned life of a rich man.
Suddenly, the notification sound of the encrypted chat software rang out.
He clicked to open it and saw a message from Top Supporter.
'Debut? Suggestions?'
Seeing these words, Li Jiajun's eyes immediately started rolling.
He immediately perked up. In his view, this so-called debut was just a product launch event, a brand promotion activity, right?
As the brand owner, he had to provide the most professional advice!
'To fire the first shot for Li Family Toy Factory in the international art scene, this setup must be big! The bigger, the better! It would be best if it could make the local front page headlines! Or even be reprinted by international media!' This thought surfaced in his mind.
He immediately sat up straight, set the cola bottle aside, and his fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard.
【Factory Director Li】: "Big Brother! You asked the right person! When it comes to art performances, I am a professional! My suggestion is that the setup must be big, the bigger the better! You must pursue that kind of visually shocking effect that blots out the sky! You must let everyone see it! You must let everyone be shocked by your art!"
After sending it, he felt it wasn't enough, so he added another sentence.
【Factory Director Li】: "Only in this way can your strength as an artist and the value of our products be reflected! Only then can the Li Family Toy Factory brand become an international hit overnight. Orders will pour in continuously in the future! Ahem, I'm not trying to take advantage of you, Big Brother, rest assured, when the time comes, you will be our factory's lifetime honorary art consultant!"
He looked at the two paragraphs he had sent and nodded with satisfaction.
'I really am a business genius, even considering after-sales value-added services.'
Meanwhile, in Middle East, Hassan saw Li Jiajun's reply, froze for a moment, and then laughed.
'Blot out the sky... let everyone be shocked by it...'
This Eastern Country friend really is an interesting person. His suggestion actually coincided with his own thoughts. He had been thinking about using a swarm to completely destroy an enemy armored brigade, using absolute results to shock the enemy, while this artist's suggestion sounded even more... cinematic.
He replied: "Thank you, my friend. I will."
Li Jiajun saw the other party's reply and felt even more delighted.
But suddenly, as if possessed...
He felt something was a bit off, and at the same time, some oddities from these past few days surfaced in his mind.
He immediately typed and asked: "Wait, Big Brother, you aren't telling the truth, you probably aren't an artist, are you?"
Hassan, on the other end of the computer, saw this message and fell silent.
He knew the other party might have guessed some clues from his words and actions. His identity might have been exposed.
However, things had reached this point, and there was no point in hiding it. He needed the other party's technology, and the other party needed his money. This was a very stable cooperative relationship.
He pondered for a moment and decided to implicitly acknowledge this in an ambiguous way.
【A White Cloth on the Head】: "..."
He only replied with a string of meaningful ellipses.
...
Looking at the string of meaningful ellipses on the screen, Li Jiajun instantly felt his brain struck by a bolt of lightning!
Understood! He completely understood!
The other party didn't admit it, but didn't deny it either!
This ellipsis contained too, too much information!
So, he understood.
'I guessed right!'
Li Jiajun felt all his guesses had been confirmed at this moment.
Then, his whole body began to tremble.
'I knew it! Spending ten million just to put on some light show! With this kind of investment, this kind of scale, how could he be a normal artist!'
That's right, he just felt the other party was not a normal artist.
He stroked his chin, his brain began to run rapidly, and a complete logical chain formed in his mind.
'The other party must be a top-tier performance artist who is internationally renowned but very low-key!!'
'The reason he bought my toys in this way is precisely to create a shocking and world-renowned work of art to consolidate his status in the art world!'
'And I! Li Jiajun! Am the artwork supplier he chose!'
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, as if he could already see that after that grand art debut, media all over the world would be crazily reporting on this performance, and as the product supplier, Li Family Toy Factory would become famous overnight, with orders flying in like snowflakes!
"Hahaha..."
He could no longer hold it back and laughed out loud, laughing until his eyes disappeared.
"We're going to make it big! This time, we are really going to become a major international brand!"
