Chapter 494 Orders Surge and Absolutely No One Will Be Requisitioned

Baishui City. Inside the office of the Li Family Toy Factory.

Looking at that comforting message from a little fan, Li Jiajun took a deep breath.

A sour sensation welled up in his nose.

At this moment, he was moved to an indescribable degree.

He only felt a warmth in his heart.

When the whole world was watching him make a fool of himself, when he was doubting his own life, the only person who stood up to comfort him was actually a primary school student he had never met before.

This made him feel a long-lost warmth.

But immediately after, a strong sense of guilt welled up in his heart.

Li Jiajun raised his hand and rubbed his swollen brow.

He remembered.

Because of the research and development of the blueprints for the automatic Bird-repelling machine, coupled with dealing with Hassan's 30 million order from overseas, he had become a bit slack.

His attention had been completely diverted, causing him to forget about producing the Ultraman Transformation Wand for this brat.

No, that's not right.

He couldn't call him a brat.

This was his most loyal die-hard customer, little Long Aoao.

The kid trusted him so much, yet he had thrown the kid's order to the back of his mind.

This was simply against the professional ethics of the toy factory director.

Thinking of this, he quickly started typing.

A line of text appeared in the input box.

"Little Aoao, Uncle was wrong. Uncle will arrange it for you right now."

He checked it once for typos.

Clicked send.

The green bubble popped out.

After replying to little Long Aoao, Li Jiajun put down his phone.

He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

The warm water flowed down his throat.

He touched his chin and continued sitting in his chair to build up his psychological defenses, trying to regain his confidence after the recent series of blows.

He pondered to himself.

One had to know that this time, the Bird-repelling machine—the painting equipment used by Hassan for strategic deception—even though it had caused another stir internationally and played the Air Force formation of Country A like monkeys, the most crucial point was that Uncle Liu (Liu Jianguo) had clearly stated on the phone that the essence of this thing was just a civilian spray painting device, lacking core military technological content.

Therefore, it hadn't been requisitioned this time!

That was the point!

As long as the authorities didn't confiscate the production line, and as long as they didn't issue that kind of compensation money with confidentiality clauses, it meant that his research and development direction had finally returned to the civilian field!

"Not requisitioned, this is a good sign." A thought emerged in his heart.

Li Jiajun's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

He felt that he had finally mastered the wealth code to avoid the authorities knocking on his door.

It also coincided with his previous train of thought.

As long as he didn't develop new technology and just downgraded and stitched together existing technology, it would be absolutely safe.

So, next time, the Ultraman Transformation Wand customized by Long Aoao might really be able to break the curse of being requisitioned, thereby becoming the leading product for the Li Family Toy Factory to break into the children's market.

Just when he was full of anticipation, feeling that he was about to reach the pinnacle of his life, a rush of footsteps came from the corridor outside the office.

The sound grew closer and closer, even carrying a hint of panic.

Immediately after, the door was pushed open.

Big Hammer ran over.

His massive two-hundred-pound body squeezed into the door frame, covered in sweat, panting slightly from running, the fat on his cheeks still jiggling up and down.

Seeing this scene, Li Jiajun's expression stiffened.

The psychological defenses he had just built instantly collapsed.

His heart skipped a beat.

A sense of foreboding rushed straight to his head.

He thought something bad had happened again.

Was it possible that the Middle East had caused another earth-shattering commotion?

Or had the officials arrived directly at the factory gate with sealing tape?

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, staring nervously at Big Hammer.

As a result, he heard Big Hammer reveal an incredibly bright smile on his face and say loudly: "Director, it's good news."

Li Jiajun was stunned.

His tense nerves relaxed slightly.

Big Hammer walked to the water dispenser, poured a cup of cold water, and downed it.

He wiped his mouth, and only then did he spill the whole story.

It turned out that many fellow countrymen, under the bombardment of news over the past two days—that is, while scrolling through short videos on their phones—had learned about the Bird-repelling machine through previous news.

And in the simple concepts of these domestic folks, the logic was very straightforward and practical.

Since that Bird-repelling machine could draw a few patterns and drive away the fighter formation of Country A, and could even bamboozle those steel behemoths carrying precision-guided bombs, then those pest birds that stole cherries in orchards and ruined crops in the fields every day—sparrows, crows, magpies—could certainly be driven away too.

This kind of dimensionality-reduction strike agricultural equipment, shouldn't they hurry up and buy it to guard their homes?

Thus, the folks followed the clues and started placing orders like crazy online.

You have to know, when this Bird-repelling machine was developed, Li Jiajun had casually had the backend operations staff put it on his online store on Pinduoduo.

It was just because it hadn't been officially promoted, and he hadn't even made a decent product details page, only hanging up a few sketches and two simple functional descriptions.

But even so, it couldn't stop the fiery purchasing desire of the domestic public.

Big Hammer walked to the desk, holding up his phone that kept vibrating, and reported with a flushed face: "Our orders for the Bird-repelling machine have exploded."

Looking at the payment notification numbers continuously increasing on the screen, Li Jiajun's eyes widened bit by bit.

Just as he was talking, Big Hammer's phone rang.

The ringtone echoed in the office.

Big Hammer answered, said a few words, and hung up quickly.

He explained with an excited face.

It turned out to be some agricultural machinery distributors from various places.

These businessmen who had been struggling in the sea of commerce had a sharper sense of smell than anyone.

They saw the business opportunity and knew this thing would definitely sell well in rural areas.

So they called one after another, wanting to get the agency quota for this Bird-repelling machine at all costs.

Hearing this huge good news, this desperate counterattack from being scolded all over the internet to having orders explode, Li Jiajun immediately smiled until his eyes disappeared.

His mouth stretched to his ears, and the wrinkles on his face beamed with joy.

He leaned back in his chair, feeling extremely comfortable.

He felt that this proved his previous thoughts.

As long as it didn't involve core military secrets, the civilian market was definitely a blue ocean.

This was a good sign.

Developing with this momentum, his Ultraman Transformation Wand, which combined Holographic Projection and micro-drone technology, would definitely become a true leading product in this massive children's market that was full of yearning for tokusatsu dramas.

Striking while the iron was hot, Li Jiajun immediately straightened up and began to assign work.

Then, he instructed Big Hammer.

On one hand, arrange for workshop workers to work in two shifts and continue producing the Bird-repelling machine.

At the same time, contact the distributors who called to build a relevant sales network.

On the other hand, transfer a portion of capable personnel to be responsible for the production of the Ultraman Transformation Wand.

Hearing the boss's instruction, "Guarantee to complete the mission," Big Hammer immediately responded, standing straight with full energy, his eyes flashing with the desire to make the factory bigger and stronger.

Watching the back of the person leaving, Li Jiajun picked up his teacup with a faint smile on his lips.

Although this guy usually looked unreliable, often making a fuss and occasionally being a bit dense, in fact, Big Hammer's work ability was still acceptable.

If it were other management personnel, hearing the boss pile on so many heavy tasks at once—the Bird-repelling machine with exploding orders on one side and the transformation wand with a brand-new production line on the other—they would definitely panic, not knowing where to start.

But Big Hammer wouldn't have any psychological burden and could always arrange every procedure clearly.

Speaking of which, Big Hammer was actually a graduate of a prestigious university.

The reason he returned to their Li Family Toy Factory, this broken place on the verge of bankruptcy, was because his father was an old employee here.

He grew up in the factory area and had deep feelings for it.

This was a kind of obsession with following in his father's footsteps.

As for what prestigious university he graduated from?

Li Jiajun spat a tea leaf from his mouth into the trash can.

That was not worth mentioning.

Just based on Big Hammer's fat-fish-like appearance and his occasionally off-the-wall behavior, saying it out loud would just smear the reputation of that prestigious university.
