48: Yaxin 105 looks so familiar, eh? Isn't this my steel pipe?

"Steel pipe sales are abnormal?" Lu Shenwei asked, puzzled. "What do you mean by abnormal?"

Ma Quanlin handed over a report. "See for yourself."

The monthly sales report showed that starting three months ago, Julong Steel Pipe sales exploded.

First month sales were 30,000 pipes, the second month rose to 60,000, and this month it reached a terrifying 100,000.

The production line conveyor belt was sparking, and they still hadn't finished last month's orders.

"What's going on? Are half the sales from Miss Bai's live stream?"

Does Bai Xiaoying have that much influence?

"Didn't you ask what's going on?"

"I asked several times, Miss Bai said it was ordered by fans in the live stream."

"Where are the things being shipped to?"

"They're going everywhere, buyers are scattered across various regions."

"Is there a sales distribution map? Let me see."

"I'll have someone organize it immediately."

Steel pipes are not affected by seasons at all, and they hadn't run any promotions, so why did sales suddenly skyrocket?

"Miss Bai, is your live stream running any promotions recently?"

Bai Xiaoying looked confused. "What promotions?"

"Something like buy-one-get-one-free, for Longying Drone, Julong Steel Pipe, etc."

"No, why is Director Lu asking? Did someone ask you for a return?"

"Not really, it's just that the recent steel pipe sales look a bit strange."

"Did they get lower?"

Bai Xiaoying made a fortune selling Julong Steel Pipe, as long as Julong Steel told her they had stock.

She would list them immediately, and without needing any promotion, unknown buyers would emerge to snap up all the shares.

There were even outrageous ones willing to monopolize Julong Steel's pipe sales at high prices.

With a 10% to 90% split on sales revenue, Bai Xiaoying could make hundreds of thousands a month without doing anything.

Bai Xiaoying couldn't understand why anyone would buy Julong Steel Pipe so crazily.

"No, on the contrary, sales have skyrocketed."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"When product sales suddenly increase, we have to figure out the reason; you can't be confused when doing business."

"I see, I'll ask around later."

Bai Xiaoying pondered, and Lu Shenwei ended the call after a few more pleasantries.

"Director, the sales distribution map is done."

Lu Shenwei took the sales distribution chart; they were everywhere from North to South, it didn't look like there was any pattern. Was he overthinking it?

"No, Uncle Ma, look, why are all the steel pipes being sent to border cities?" Lu Shenwei asked in surprise.

Ma Quanlin put on his reading glasses. "It really is, Dragon Xia's Northeast, Southwest, and Northwest border cities are all included."

They hadn't heard of any major development projects in the border cities, it was strange.

Lu Shenwei was completely baffled. "Let's not think about it for now, continue expanding the steel pipe production line; we'll take as many orders as we can."

"Alright."

Ma Quanlin loved hearing that; doing business openly, who would complain about less money?

"There are two other things, one is that Wang Zizhong has already taken the team to the countryside for promotion, should we send someone to keep an eye on them?"

"Let Uncle Wang handle it himself, if he needs anything, he can just ask."

The development potential of the longmao agricultural vehicle is huge; once the sales channels are opened, Julong Steel will achieve diversified development.

Steel, drones, agricultural vehicles; with these three chariots, wouldn't Julong Steel take off?

In the following days, Julong Steel investigated the cause of the surge in steel pipe sales to no avail, but the Eagle Country Pentagon on the other side of the ocean discovered the truth.

"In the past few months, the firepower of the Desert Camel terrorists has increased again, and our soldiers have suffered heavy casualties." The operations officer said helplessly.

"How is that possible? Didn't we cut off their rocket ammunition base material supply? They don't have an arsenal, where did they get the rockets?" The three-star Commander asked in confusion.

"The CIA found that the guerrillas bought rocket ammunition base materials from the black market, and the price was much higher than that of Longxia Company."

"Damn Longxia enterprise, the suicide drone seems to come from Longxia, plus the rockets, it's hard not to suspect the intentions of the higher-ups in Longxia."

The Commander frowned. Last time, they sold a batch of inferior aircraft carrier arresting gear to Longxia, delaying the progress of Longxia's aircraft carrier sea trials while exchanging it for constraints on local enterprises in Longxia.

But what to do now? Start something out of nothing and continue playing the cotton card? Or squeeze Dragon Xia's soft spot, Frog Island?

Or let the monkeys make a fuss in Dragon Xia's backyard to pressure Dragon Xia?

The Commander said sternly: "Strengthen the sanctions on the Longxia Steel Pipe Company, be stricter with the wording this time, and also list that drone manufacturing enterprise as an international war sponsor."

"I need to remind you that the suicide drone is also produced by that steel pipe company." The officer whispered.

The Commander was stunned: "WTF?"

Stupid Dragon Xia groundhogs, have this ability?

"Although I don't believe a steel pipe company can transform into producing drones, the fact is they did it." The officer said helplessly.

A steel factory producing drones? Jesus hanging on the cross, right?

The Commander's worldview shattered. He grabbed the assistant by the collar, his eyes splitting: "Are you sure?"

The suicide drones have caused nearly a hundred Eagle Country soldiers to be unable to return home before Christmas.

"Yes, we have studied Longxia's drones, they are outrageously simple."

The Pentagon's weapon equipment technology center bought 10 Longying Drones from the black market, and after dismantling them, all the researchers were dumbfounded.

Simple architecture, excellent maneuverability, amazing payload capacity, coupled with the fearsome C4 high explosive.

This was all there was to a suicide drone. It is said that the cost was less than 6,000 USD, but the lethality was comparable to a 120,000 USD Stinger missile.

Coupled with the terrifying production capacity of Longxia enterprises, they sent 20,000 of them to the Desert Camel Guerrillas in a single month.

So much so that the Eagle Country tanks defending freedom now have to install pathetic cow sheds before they dare to go out.

"Now! I mean now! Call a Department of Defense press conference immediately, I want to accuse the damn Longxia military enterprise to the whole world!"

The Commander raged in incompetence. The officer whispered a reminder: "It is said that the Longxia Company is a private enterprise."

"How can it be a private enterprise in Longxia? You must have remembered wrong, what is the name of that damn company?"

"Julong Steel Company, a private steel factory in Qinchuan City, Longxia."

The operations officer had already done a detailed investigation and even knew that Julong Steel Factory was still in the dark.

Julong Steel always thought their steel pipes were used for water pipe laying, and drones were used for travel photography.

"Damn Julong Steel, hold a press conference tomorrow morning, I want to accuse them of their crimes to the whole world!"

The Eagle Country Pentagon was busy collecting evidence of Julong Steel's crimes, while Lu Shenwei finished his day's work and lay half-reclined in his boss's chair, scrolling through his phone.

Short video platform, Brother Qi's live stream.

"Brothers, today I finally got the genuine goods, Axin 105 and the base material for the Qassam rockets!"

The round streamer excitedly displayed the steel pipe in his hand. Lu Shenwei's eyes widened; the rocket launcher was clearly engraved with [GP/T3091-93].

Eh? Why does this look so familiar?
