Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

At this critical moment, Mr. Wang directly expressed his opinion, believing that making such a decision now was too naive.

"Then what do you suggest we do? We only have this one chance. If we find that we can't handle it at all, then saying anything more will be futile, won't it? Besides, we can't predict how much disaster this will bring to everyone."

Jiang Chuan looked at everyone with a serious expression. He knew that all they could do now was wait. If the final result was unimaginable, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Don't forget, the mission we bear is far beyond our expectations. Moreover, this is an opportunity for us to open branches all over the world. Isn't that a good thing? After the war, our company will grow larger and larger. Isn't that exactly what we hoped for? Wouldn't it be better to make the company stronger through a war?"

Jiang Chuan was somewhat displeased at this moment.

"If you're unwilling to do that, then I'll personally fund the project and work with the country to build it globally. If it turns out profitable, that's my personal profit, not the company's. You can decide for yourselves, but I have to do this. And if you believe the company owns the technology, I can develop a new technology."

"Chairman, please don't be angry."

At the crucial moment, General Manager Zhao nodded. He knew that saying anything more now would be useless, because Jiang Chuan had already made up his mind to do it.

"We are fully aware of this situation, so we will absolutely not falter at this crucial moment. Please rest assured, this time we will definitely show everyone a completely different result, and even let people all over the world know that our company is exceptionally strong. I agree, what do you all think?"

Since General Manager Zhao has agreed, there's no point in me saying anything more. Even General Manager Wang, who initially objected, has voted in favor.

"Alright then, in that case, let's pass it unanimously and proceed in the company's name."

And so, the global factory plan was officially launched.

However, Jiang Chuan knew very well that although the factory plan had begun to move forward, it did not mean that everything would go as he wished.

The prophet stated that the dangers facing Earth have not yet dissipated, and humanity has not yet met expectations. Currently, while factories around the world are operating on their own and ramping up production of weapons needed for combat, the situation remains dire.

"Now that our position as arms dealers is basically set, shouldn't we take this opportunity to hold a formal arms conference?"

"That's right!"

At this moment, the prophet nodded in agreement; Jiang Chuan's idea made a lot of sense. The most important thing right now was to unite these arms dealers, especially those from Atlantis, whom they absolutely could not let their guard down against.

However, Atlantis's vision for this weapons conference was not very clear. In desperation, the higher-ups quickly called Jones, but the response was very lukewarm.

"Don't you really realize the seriousness of the problem? You're still struggling with what to do. What if your negligence leads to your country being the first to be invaded again?"

Jones chuckled as soon as his superior finished speaking.

"As long as I am here, I will ensure that my country will never be invaded again. Your World Armaments Conference is nothing more than an attempt to elevate Jiangchuan to the throne of the world's number one, but our country will never accept that. After all, our technological level is the world's best."

Upon hearing this, the superior was speechless and promptly hung up the phone.

"I finally understand. This woman is just too much! At first, she begged us to help her solve the problem, but now that she thinks we've done enough, she's turned her back on us. She really doesn't know what's good for her!"

In truth, everyone knew this matter wasn't so simple. However, Jones's reaction was within Jiang Chuan's expectations, since Atlantis still considered itself the world's number one power and even believed they could solve this problem on their own.

However, Jones was quite clever. Since they were unwilling to participate, he simply asked the Western countries to hold a weapons conference on their own turf.

Thus, two drastically different situations arose. Two conferences were held simultaneously, and everyone wanted to see which countries would choose. However, something unexpected happened. The weapons conference hosted by Atlantis received very little response, except for a few small nations. So far, only three countries had representatives attending.

Moreover, the three countries sent only insignificant figures. In contrast, the Great Shang Kingdom had a wealth of talent, with arms dealers from all over the world and numerous heads of government gathered together.

"First of all, thank you all very much for giving me this opportunity."

This was a special weapons conference, and Jiang Chuan made things clear in front of everyone.

"We are also aware that many things are now difficult to explain. But we must recognize that the science and technology we currently possess have not yet reached their peak. However, please think carefully: with our current conditions, can we reach a higher standard? This requires everyone to work together and cooperate."

However, these arms dealers were filled with doubt. Did Jiang Chuan intend to use their resources to build his own global manufacturing hub?
"Actually, some things are no longer a secret. I'm sure everyone knows that the world is currently uniting to resist an invasion from a higher-level world."

This matter has been widely discussed online recently, and arms dealers seem to have had some thoughts about it after hearing about it.

"Actually, we are all the same kind of people. Take me for example, I am a weapons dealer. I can choose to sell weapons, or I can produce them myself, and of course, there are middlemen. I have an idea for bringing everyone together this time. I plan to share my sales network with everyone. If you are willing, we can make this existing platform the number one in the world. What do you think? Now, we already have this brand."

Everyone was quite surprised after hearing this. Logically speaking, Jiang Chuan's abilities far surpassed those of the others, so why did he need everyone to participate?

"Mr. Jiang Chuan, I have a question. You played a huge role in the last invasion war, supplying almost all the world's weapons. So why do we all need to participate this time?"

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly after hearing this.

I have a question for you: Are you from Earth?

"That's right! But what does that prove?"...

"If businessmen around the world and ordinary people like us cannot unite as one, and if we are defeated in the event of a foreign invasion, all that awaits us is the fate of being enslaved by them, and our end may even be as tragic as that of the natives of the fourth country of Atlantis."

Upon hearing this, the merchants began to worry. If this was not an exaggeration, then they really needed to find out what was going on.

So Jiang Chuan simply revealed this secret, which was no longer a secret, in front of everyone.

In an instant, everyone was stunned. "And, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce someone to the world, my strategist—Mr. Prophet, that's what we all call him."

Although the prophet's identity had been revealed, his face remained veiled. He knew that if he were to reveal it directly, the prophet might be unable to continue living in this world for revealing divine secrets.

"So now we know that those mythical figures may not exist in reality, but our various religious beliefs and other aspects may see a new improvement after this invasion ends."

"Wait a minute, what makes you so sure that a higher-level civilization would invade us?"

At this point, a merchant couldn't stand it any longer and couldn't help but ask a question.

"You've all probably played a game that's been shut down. In that game, we saw a completely different, riddled with problems, constantly being destroyed world. And that world was destroyed because the Earth could no longer sustain human life, you know that, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately realized what was going on. This game still worries them greatly, although some simply laughed it off.

"If what you say is true, then let me ask you another question. Do you remember a time when, for about three minutes, it felt like something got into your eye, and a line of words appeared on your retina?"

This incident left a deep impression on everyone. At first, I had a splitting headache, and then I saw familiar words.

"This unsolved mystery of the world has never been figured out. Today I will tell you that it was actually a trick played by a higher civilization to sabotage our science and technology before invading us."

These words shocked all the merchants.

"Mr. Jiang Chuan, according to you, all of humanity's science and technology combined are far from being a match for them. Does that mean we are completely helpless?"

"Not entirely. Humanity now possesses a technology that they lack, but I cannot tell you about it now, because a direct war will inevitably break out sooner or later."

As soon as he said that, everyone was unhappy.

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"I'm sorry, this isn't something I can decide; it was ultimately decided by your leaders at a high-level meeting. Since you weren't involved in the plan, that's all I can say. If you want to know more, I suggest you go back and ask your leaders what's going on. If you decide to join, we can try cooperating, but of course, it's entirely voluntary."

Upon hearing this, the merchants all laughed.

“Mr. Jiang Chuan, if you want us to join your system, just say so. There’s no need to spread alarmist rumors here, talking about a global crisis one minute and then spouting all this nonsense the next. We’ve already been helping you build factories around the world, and you’re asking us to contribute our sales network directly, while saying all this irrelevant stuff. We’re not willing to do that.”

"can!"

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly.

“I have never forced anyone. If you are unwilling to share your sales network, I will protect your assets and will not infringe on your territory or company, after all, we are partners.”

Clearly, Jiang Chuan didn't put any pressure on anyone in this matter, but everything that's happening right now is making them very worried.

This ambiguous statement made the arms dealers uneasy. What was really going on? Was the situation truly as dire as this boss described?
"Alright, the World Armaments Conference has begun, and that's all I can do. Now it's up to everyone to think. And I believe everyone has the opportunity to speak. This arms conference will last for two weeks, so everyone can have a good discussion."

Thus, Jiang Chuan temporarily adjourned the meeting. At lunchtime, they held a large reception. Meanwhile, many people came to Jiang Chuan's location seeking cooperation opportunities.

However, at that very moment, a boss walked straight up to Jiang Chuan, looking quite arrogant.

"Mr. Jiang Chuan, I come from Europe. As you know, your importance to us is self-evident. And the world factory you've commissioned technician Chen Feifei to build is indeed formidable. However, I still want to ask, as the old saying goes, what makes you so certain that this global crisis is inevitable?"

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly.

“There’s an old saying in our country: ‘No investigation, no right to speak.’ Let me tell you, with the authorization of our country, I conducted a secret study. I can’t reveal the specifics of that study now, as it’s a top secret of the Federation.”

"Don't give me that! You're just an arms dealer, at most benefiting from the Great Shang Kingdom. And you're giving me this 'Union' nonsense? What kind of organization is the Union? Does President Jones still not know?"

As expected, this fault-finding boss was disliked from the very beginning, and everyone present was disgusted by him.

"I find you to be a very strange person. Could it be that you are a representative of the Kingdom of Atlantis? If so, then you don't need to stay here with us."

"Exactly! All you do all day is spout useless nonsense. You should use that time to do something that benefits the world."

"That's right, now that we've all found a solution, why can't we unite? I really don't understand what you're up to, it's hilarious."

……

Despite the cacophony of voices from the crowd, the boss remained remarkably calm.

"You've lost even basic judgment by now, so what's there to care about? I really don't understand what you're thinking."

“You don’t need to understand, the reason is simple. If you’re planning to go it alone, I can understand. But don’t compare me to those people from Atlantis, I’m just a businessman.”

Jiang Chuan remained very humble, and he understood that there was no need to argue too much with such a nitpicky person.

"Stop discussing the Federation. The specific arrangements will be clear enough; I don't need to explain further. I've already explained everything at the conference. If you don't agree with me, you can find out for yourself. Like I said before, before you talk to me, I suggest you ask your leader first; that will give you a general idea of ​​what's going on."
