Hardware Exports Turn into Arms Sales, and the Orders Keep Getting More Criminal!

Su Chen takes over a debt-ridden hardware factory and finds himself facing mountains of hardware, pressure cookers, and tricycles.

The factory director says, “There’s no domestic market for this stuff. How about we find ourselves jobs somewhere else?”

Su Chen replies, “We’ll switch from domestic sales to exports. This is exactly what other countries need!”

A pressure cooker? With a few modifications, it’s an anti-tank mine.

A motorized tricycle? Weld on a mount and you’ve got a mobile gun platform!

Steel pipe? Rifle the barrel and you’ve got a sniper rifle barrel!

Armed with the technological know-how of a military-industrial big shot from his previous life, Su Chen develops civilian technology with one hand and handles international deliveries with the other. His customers range from African warlords to desert tycoons, and the orders get more outrageous by the day.

One day, the Longguo military comes knocking. “Why is your drone bombing the country next door?”

“Huh? The customer said he was using it to kill squid. Apparently they’re hard to kill!”

The military replies, “No need to explain. We’re requisitioning all your products!”

The Ugly States fly into a rage. “That’s arms smuggling! Sanctions! We must sanction him!”

Su Chen spreads his hands. “I only sell hardware tools. What my customers do with them has nothing to do with me!”

While arms dealers around the world are still competing on price,

Su Chen has already cornered the black market with his ‘hardware and building materials.’

Before he knows it, he’s become an industrial mogul.

He shows the world that a true arms dealer can turn even steel pipes into a strategic deterrent!
