Cut off my army's food supplies? I'll open a portal between the two worlds and max out my

Some customers with specific needs frequently come to Peshawar to purchase "specialty products," especially small and medium-sized delegations, who particularly appreciate the weapons produced in Peshawar.

Before the official crackdown, almost every household in the villages below Peshawar was running a small workshop.

Arcana had never been involved in these gray industries before.

Why was Li Wen's request granted this time as an exception? The reason is simple: Li Wen offered too much.

Arcana previously avoided these industries primarily because they were unprofitable and involved significant risks.

Since we can get paid now, we can temporarily set aside any risky things.

What are your needs?

Arcana was very professional; he didn't just take Li Wen to a factory to get things done, but instead inquired about Li Wen's needs.

Li Wen thought for a moment and said, "I'd like to visit some high-end factories, especially those with long-range sniper equipment equipped with optical devices. Of course, I'd also like to see some good rifles..."

Li Wen explained the combat requirements that had been simulated on the plane.

After listening, Arcana asked with a strange expression, "You can't take these things back, can you? Let me tell you, the people here only care about selling things, not delivery... Even those professionals in this field in the west can't ship them to your area."

Arcana had studied in China, so he naturally knew very well what China was like.

Li Wen smiled and said, "I'm just taking a look around. You can take me to the factory. You don't need to take care of anything else."

Hearing Li Wen say this, Arcana shrugged, he was actually more than happy to not get involved.

If Li Wen hadn't given him so much money, he wouldn't have asked that extra question.

"Meet here at 3 PM tomorrow."

OK.

After making their agreement, Li Wen returned to the hotel without any hesitation.

Seeing Li Wen leave so easily, Arcana shook his head and said, "What a strange person..."

The next day.

Li Wen got up early, ate bread in his room, and waited for Wang Lang and the others to knock on the door.

Li Wen didn't have to wait long before Wang Lang and the others knocked on the door.

"The hotel doesn't provide breakfast, so we all brought our own bread. If you haven't eaten, I can get you some."

After seeing Li Wen, Wang Lang asked him a question.

Li Wen replied, "I bought bread at the convenience store yesterday."

"Alright, shall we go together?"

"it is good."

Li Wen's reason for "borrowing a parking space" was that he wanted to learn more about the transaction process in Peshawar, and preferably observe and learn from it.

The parking fee that Li Wen had given him included the tuition fee, so Wang Lang specifically called Li Wen before going out to negotiate.

Akana appeared at the door on time. He didn't show anything special in front of everyone, but simply asked Wang Lang and the others if they were ready.

After learning that everything was ready, Arcana drove a beat-up jeep and took everyone away from the hotel, heading towards the outskirts of the city.

Although Peshawar city is quite dilapidated, resembling an underdeveloped county town in China in the 1980s, it at least has some urban feel.

Once you leave the city center, it feels like you've suddenly arrived in the countryside.

There were illegal buildings everywhere, the roads were in terrible condition, and most of the pedestrians on both sides of the road were wearing white knee-length robes and loose dark trousers.

About an hour and a half later, Arcana stopped the car.

Arcana got out of the car and said to Wang Lang, "We've arrived. This is the first of three. I'll just introduce them; you'll handle the business negotiations."

"Of course."

Wang Lang said with a smile, then picked up his briefcase and led his team and Li Wen into the small factory that looked like a shantytown.

Wang Lang and his team manufacture small drone parts and can customize various parts according to customer needs.

However, factories like theirs have been facing particularly tough times in China lately, so Wang Lang had no choice but to shift his customer base towards foreign trade.

After Wang Lang brought his people in, a middle-aged man dressed in local clothing started chatting with Wang Lang in fluent Mandarin.

Although it was their first meeting, the two chatted very enthusiastically.

The two quickly got straight to the point, with Li Wen observing from the side.

I found that people here trade very directly: they state their needs and production capacity, and if they match, they make a deal; if not, they leave.

"Hmm? To reduce weight and cost? Then the engine needs to be replaced. How about a motorcycle engine? But that would have a major drawback: the plane would make a buzzing noise in the air."

After hearing about the other party's needs, Wang Lang sketched a few lines on the drawing board, discussed it with his teammates, and then came up with a solution.

The Peshawar merchant across the street was surprised; he hadn't expected his request to be met so easily, which would save him a significant amount of money.

"No problem, my friend! We can sign a letter of intent first! Once you give us samples for testing and they're satisfactory, then we'll place the order!"

"We're fine with it too."

Wang Lang was also pleasantly surprised; he hadn't expected his business trip to go so smoothly.

And it seems the other party's demand is quite large...

Having witnessed the whole affair, Li Wen now had a clear understanding of the transaction methods here.

After the transaction was completed, Wang Lang was in a very good mood.

"I didn't expect this trip to go so smoothly. I've booked a nice restaurant for lunch so we can all have a good meal."

"no problem."

Li Wen did not refuse Wang Lang's invitation.

Wang Lang booked a Chinese restaurant for lunch. The group spent several times the price abroad to eat a meal that would be considered a very ordinary roadside stall meal in China.

However, at least the taste is fine this way.

Wang Lang told Li Wen that it was best for non-locals not to eat the local specialties.

The young girl at the dinner table thought her chance had come; she believed she would definitely be able to add Li Wen on WeChat this time.

As a result, Li Wen and Wang Lang kept chatting, whether it was about drinking or business dealings. Li Wen was able to chat with Wang Lang for a while based on his experience in logistics.

However, Li Wen didn't drink, and Wang Lang didn't urge him to. He drank by himself, and after a few cups, he regarded Li Wen as his confidant, holding Li Wen's hand and talking non-stop.

The girl next to him was getting anxious, as she didn't get a chance to interject.

However, since the person in front of her was her own boss, she couldn't break the rules at the dinner table.

Because they come from Shandong province.

After finishing their meal, Wang Lang had also drunk too much. Fortunately, Li Wen was strong enough to support the 200-pound Wang Lang without any effort.

"Wow, Li, you're so strong!"

Seeing how easily Li Wen controlled the boss, the bespectacled man next to him was quite surprised.

Because he often drank with his boss, he knew how heavy his body was when the boss was drunk.

"I exercise regularly."

Li Wen chuckled and offered a brief explanation.

After dropping Wang Lang off at his hotel, they realized that they wouldn't be able to go out that afternoon.

Li Wen arrived at the agreed location with Arcana at 3 o'clock sharp.

Inside the hotel.

Not long after Li Wen left, a pretty figure appeared in the corridor.

It was the young girl, Wang Lan.

"Wang Lan! Keep going! You can do it!"

Whether in college or after graduating and starting work, this was the first time Wang Lan had taken the initiative to ask a man for her WeChat ID; before, she was always the one being asked.

"call!"

It's inevitable to be a little nervous the first time.

Wang Lan used to think that there was nothing to talk about in a relationship. After all, games were so fun and novels were so interesting, where would she find the time to date?

But from the moment she saw Li Wen, she was attracted by his unique aura.

Subconsciously, I want to get close to the other person.

"Ding ding ding".

After rehearsing her story eight hundred times in her mind, Wang Lan mustered up her courage and knocked on the door.

But nothing happened.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

Wang Lan knocked harder.

Still no movement...

and many more? !

"Mr. Li Wen, are you there?"

Wang Lan called out.

"..."

? !

Wang Lan deflated like a punctured balloon; she had mustered up so much courage, but the other person wasn't there...

Damn it!

-

"My friend, you're right on time!"

When Arcana arrived, he was surprised to find that Li Wen was already waiting there.

He has worked with many Chinese clients, and over time he has found that many people are used to being slow and taking a while to appear.

Without exchanging pleasantries, Li Wen asked directly, "Shall we set off?"

Arcana nodded. "Let's go."

Arcana turned and left.

After Li Wen caught up, he found that Akana did not drive the car, but instead led him towards the residential area. After winding through an alley, they arrived at a large courtyard in front of them.

"arrive."

"This is a well-known 'handmade factory' in our area. They are very trustworthy and offer after-sales service... The only downside is that it's expensive, but that shouldn't be a downside for you, right?"

Akana said.

"I'll go ask them if they're in business."

Akana is quite serious about getting things done for money, after all, his guide business relies on word of mouth.

There were two men, clearly armed, standing guard at the entrance to the courtyard.

Arcana slowly walked over, raising his hand, and began talking to someone about ten meters away from the gate.

After a while, the man sent his companion back to report the news, and soon someone informed Arcana that he could go in.

Arcana said something and then came over to Li Wen.

"Don't worry about language barriers when you go in. There are bound to be people in a big factory like theirs who speak Chinese. You can handle the rest yourself. Don't get angry if you can't reach an agreement. As long as you don't cause trouble, you can leave safely."

After instructing Li Wen on what to pay attention to, Akana waited at a distance.

Li Wen was not intimidated; if he wanted to rescue Black Stone safely, he had to face these challenges personally.

Moreover, he still has a trump card that can absolutely save his life.

Li Wen arrived at the gate and followed the waiting people inside. Once inside, he discovered that the area was indeed very large, resembling a small market.

Various weapons are displayed in the open air in many places, the most classic of which is the hand-crafted AK47.

"Hey! Friend from the East, I heard you have shopping needs. We have the most complete factory in Peshawar. You can tell me what you need."

After glancing at the surrounding display stands, Li Wen recognized quite a few types of firearms, even though he only had experience with FPS games.

It seems Arcana wasn't lying to himself; this place is indeed different from those shady workshops.

"My needs are rather unique..."
