The Factory Director Pulls Off a New Masterstroke Every Day, Leaving the Strategic Deception Bureau Speechless!

To save his factory, Lin Tian starts livestreaming clearance sales. He sells a drone, and it directly changes the course of the war in Big Mao. He sells smart bird-repelling devices, and an air force base calls to say their stealth aircraft circled his factory three times, too afraid to land. He sells a viral firework, and a neighboring country calls in the middle of the night to ask if they’re conducting a border exercise. He sells car paint, and the traffic police come knocking because surveillance cameras can’t capture the license plates of any cars painted with it. He sells stealth coating, and Big Mao’s buyers place order after order. They spray it on armored vehicles, making them impossible for satellites to find, and it even offers incredible rust protection. Most outrageous of all are the celebratory cannons adapted from single-soldier thermobaric bombs. Big Mao buys a batch for a festival, and the opposing forces retreat fifty kilometers overnight. Just as Lin Tian is wondering how he’s going to explain all this, the Strategic Deception Bureau shows up. “Do you have any idea that the stuff you sell for 9.9 yuan is about to wreck the ‘industrially backward’ image we’ve spent over a decade carefully cultivating? Big Mao is going around bragging about the ‘mysterious Eastern factory,’ the Pentagon has called an emergency meeting to study us, and NATO is reassessing our military threat level. What do you think we should do?” “How about... we tell the world these are all ‘made by Yiwu International Trade City’?” The director spits out his tea. “Who the hell would believe that?”
