Chapter 1350: Arms Dealer Plan, Completely Solving the Funding Problem

After returning to the Dragon Vessel Base, Chen Jun headed straight for the Finance Department. When he handed the gargantuan donation to the Finance Minister, he was stunned, his eyes widening as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

"Oh my God, Chief Engineer! It's only been a few days. Where did you get thousands of small targets? Even if you were to rob a bank, it's impossible to have such an exaggerated amount!" The minister's face was full of disbelief, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

You know, the Dragon Vessel Base has always been facing a funding shortage. Just a few days ago, Chen Jun personally went to the military headquarters, spent a whole day negotiating, and finally got back ten small targets. But just a few days later, he suddenly brought back thousands of small targets. This huge contrast is really hard to accept.

Chen Jun looked at the minister's shocked expression, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "These are all patriotic red-top businessmen who voluntarily donated to the country."

"No... donation? How can you donate so much money? How is that possible... I remember that last time you went to see Chief Ye from the military, you talked your mouth off and only got such a small amount of money. It's not even one percent of this time." The minister was still full of doubt. In his opinion, even if it was a donation from a wealthy businessman, it would never reach such an astonishing amount.

"Don't ask about this. Anyway, you should use this money to develop weapons of mass destruction. These businessmen believe that we can defend our country. As scientists, we must go all out and never let them down." Chen Jun said seriously, his eyes revealing a firm determination.

"Chief Engineer, don't worry. We will definitely use this money wisely and invest it all in research and development. I will immediately set up a supervisory team to ensure the clear and transparent flow of funds, and report to you regularly on the usage." The minister nodded quickly to assure him. He was well aware of the importance of this money to the base's research and development work.

Chen Jun nodded with satisfaction, then left the Finance Department and went to his office. As soon as he sat down, the phone on his desk rang rapidly.

"No, you are quite capable, kid. I heard that you organized a fundraising campaign and actually got thousands of small targets at once?" The hearty voice of Mr. Ye from the military department came from the other end of the phone. This hawkish boss, who was always known for being "stingy", had only given Chen Jun ten small targets before. Compared with the huge amount of funds raised by Chen Jun, that little money really seemed insignificant.

"Commander, you are really well-informed. I just transferred this money to the Finance Department and didn't keep a single cent. You came to me, not because you want to share some of it, right?" Chen Jun joked with a smile.

This made Mr. Ye pause slightly on the other end of the phone. He felt a little upset, but he still laughed: "Haha... You're overthinking it, kid. Although the military is short of money, it's not going to rob you of it. I'm looking for you because it's urgent. Is it convenient for you to answer the phone now?"

"Yes, Commander, I'll switch to another secure line," Chen Jun said. A so-called secure line is a specialized radio line that uses a relatively old-fashioned design. In today's era of highly advanced information warfare, the more advanced the communication method, the more vulnerable it is to enemy surveillance. The secure line Chen Jun used was located in a separate room and consisted of a red, vintage telephone.

After redialing the call, Chen Jun asked, "Commander, what exactly is the emergency?"

Mr. Ye pondered for a moment on the other end of the phone, then slowly said, "I heard that you've stopped the production of all small and medium-sized high-kill weapons in the country and are switching all your efforts to producing the hacker missiles you just developed. Is that true?"

Chen Jun nodded. Although Ye Lao couldn't see, he still answered seriously: "Yes, Chief. Now our foreign policy has changed. If we want to effectively deter the enemy, we must use this kind of hacker missile that cannot be intercepted. So I plan to enrich the warehouse of large-scale weapons first, so that we will have enough confidence when facing enemies like the United States. As for those small and medium-sized large-scale weapons, we can only hold them for the time being. What's the matter? Is there a change of plan?"

"That's not the case..." Elder Ye thought for a moment, then asked, "Chen Jun, I have a question for you. With your technology, can you fully upgrade those small and medium-sized missiles? At least to have a certain advantage internationally and be able to sell for a good price."

"Are you looking to do business?" Chen Jun was slightly stunned, then reacted.

"Haha, you see, many countries in the world now lack high-performance small and medium-sized missiles. If we can upgrade these missiles and sell them, do you think we can make a profit? However, the prerequisite is whether the cost of the modification will be too high, whether it will be very troublesome, and whether it will delay the research and development of your big killer weapon." Mr. Ye explained in detail.

After hearing what Mr. Ye said, Chen Jun's eyes lit up instantly, and it was as if a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and the problem that had been bothering him was immediately solved.

Goodness me, he's been worried about how to keep raising funds lately. Relying on fundraising as a business activity obviously can't achieve sustainable development. If the missiles could be sold, that would be a completely different story. Mr. Ye's words were like the military authorizing this plan. It was like someone delivered a pillow while he was dozing off!

"Haha, you are a general, but you are forced to use your identity to raise funds from the society. Our country has developed, and there are many ways to make money. We can't always 'cut leeks' from businessmen. After discussion, the military believes that in order to completely solve your funding problems, you must use our technology to make money." Old Ye said with a smile.

"Although our country has always been peace-loving and not heavily involved in the arms trade, selling missiles to peace-loving countries, allowing them to defend their own territories, wouldn't that be a good way to maintain world peace? Furthermore, we specialize in this high-end arms business, so it shouldn't be a big problem. This way, we can completely solve your funding problems and also alleviate some of the financial pressure on the military."

"It just so happens that our missiles have shocked the whole world. Even the United States cannot intercept them. Selling missiles at this time is really the best time and place. So, what are you daydreaming about, kid?" Mr. Ye's voice was full of excitement and anticipation.

Chen Jun had already formed a detailed plan regarding the arms dealer in his mind. Hearing Elder Ye's urging, he finally came to his senses and said quickly, "Commander, I want to confirm whether we can only do missile business, or are other types of arms business also open?"

Elder Ye was slightly surprised: "What do you mean? Are you saying that you can also upgrade and transform other weapons?"

"I just need a word from you asking whether you can authorize me. If possible, I am confident that I can fully upgrade some of the old weapons in the warehouse, not just missiles, but also those obsolete tanks, fighter jets, etc. After all, our black materials have been researched, and coupled with the powerful communication chip technology, we can completely optimize and upgrade these weapons." Chen Jun said confidently.

After hearing Chen Jun's words, Elder Ye's voice rose a few degrees in excitement: "Are you sure you can upgrade the weapons in stock? You may not know that there are many weapons that cannot be used due to various problems and are piled up in warehouses, but people are reluctant to throw them away. If you can really optimize and upgrade them, it would be incredible. Not only can you sell them for money, but it would also save the country a lot of money!"

"Commander, forget about the credit. I'm only thinking about making money now. I can tell you with certainty that black materials can comprehensively optimize all previous weapons, including any armored weapons. For example, our oldest tanks, by replacing materials, upgrading engines, and optimizing intelligent systems, their functions will definitely be greatly improved. There is no doubt about this." Chen Jun said firmly.

"Fuck..." Elder Ye couldn't help but curse, then burst into laughter excitedly, "Hahahaha... This is seriously the best suggestion I've ever heard. It's fantastic! Don't worry, I've already applied to my superiors, and even the relevant documents have been issued. Do you think I'll do nothing just because I can't give you funding? Just go for it. As long as you can optimize those weapons, the military region will authorize you to sell them."

"That's easy!" Chen Jun was overjoyed. As long as he had this arms franchise, he was absolutely confident that there would be a steady flow of funds. However, this still required a key authorization.

"Chief, I still need your military to authorize me to move the weapons warehouses of the navy, army and air force. After all, I want to move all these antiques to the Longmai base so that they can be comprehensively upgraded!" said Chen Jun.

"That's easy. I'll show you the relevant documents right away, stamp them, and send them to your email. You can use all the old inventories of the navy, army, and air force at will. At the same time, all scientific researchers in the country, no matter what type of talent, can be directly used as long as you can use them. Is that all right?" Old Ye said generously.

Chen Jun nodded in satisfaction, thought for a moment, and then asked the most crucial question: "Commander, can we keep most of the money from selling these weapons at the Dragon Vessel Base? After all, we're burning through cash here until our inventory of high-kill weapons is full. Furthermore, upgrading these weapons also requires a large amount of funds, all of which comes out of our base's pockets."

"Look at what you said. The bulk of the money from the things you sell will definitely go to you. Don't worry, just focus on optimizing the weapons, and everything else will not be a problem." Old Ye said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jun couldn't suppress his inner excitement. He couldn't help but raise his head and roar, with lofty ambitions and heroic spirit surging in his heart.

The value of Mr. Ye's call was far greater to him than the 300 billion he had raised. For Chen Jun, a genius known for his "hacks," optimizing weapons using advanced technology and hacking techniques would require time and effort, and the process would be complex, but technically, it presented no challenges at all.

Chen Jun immediately walked out of the office and said to Yajie'er, who was on standby outside, "Don't be busy taking a vacation yet. There is something very important. Come with me."

Originally, Yajieer was eagerly preparing for her vacation. She had already made an appointment with Zhan Ge, and the two hadn't seen each other for over six months. Chen Jun had also promised her that once her funding issues were resolved, he would let her take a two-week vacation to relax.

As a result, the plan could not keep up with the changes and Chen Jun called him back halfway.

After Chen Jun finished explaining the plan he had just discussed with Mr. Ye in detail, Yajie'er's eyes lit up. She was so excited that she threw her luggage aside and shouted, "This is a great plan that can completely solve the funding problem. We must implement it immediately! I'll get in the car and we'll go to the warehouses across the country. But, can you get the authorization license right away?"

A few hours later, Chen Jun arrived at a missile warehouse.

This is an old missile warehouse, with more than a thousand large and small weapons piled up in it. After all, they have all been retired from active service, so they have been placed here for more than ten years. They once took on the important task of surrounding the country's territory.

Chen Jun studied all these powerful weapons and had a corresponding optimization plan in his mind.

He said to Yajie'er, "Everything can be modified. Arrange people to move all of this back to the hacker base. After we gather them together, I will announce the optimization plan."

Yajieer nodded: "Then I will contact the local troops and ask them to send a vehicle to escort us."

This is indeed a major project that requires the cooperation of local troops to complete, and Yajieer has already obtained authorization from the military region and can mobilize any troops at any time across the country.

Not long after, a brigade commander from the Southwest Military Region received a notice and brought his troops over to begin transporting these weapons.

To be honest, the brigade commander also wanted to send these weapons away. After all, it would cost a lot to send people to guard the retired weapons all year round. It was not known when they could be destroyed. It had been more than ten years. He strongly agreed with Chen Jun's approach and took quick action.

After solving the problem here, Chen Jun took Yajie to the next stop.

After all the weapons were arranged and sent back to the Longmai base, Chen Jun returned and immediately convened an emergency meeting.

"Chief Engineer, you mean to be an arms dealer and sell weapons? Are you okay? Do you have a fever? This country doesn't allow it. You want to transform these broken things and sell them all?"
