Justin Hammer had assumed Chen Mu was just an ordinary Chinese tourist visiting America. Seeing his country-bumpkin behavior, Justin had wanted to put him down and elevate himself in the process.
But facts proved that Chen Mu was not someone to be trifled with.
Of all things, Justin should not have spoken ill of China. If he had merely mocked Chen Mu for being an ignorant country bumpkin, Chen Mu might have chosen to swallow his anger. But once Justin started mocking China, the nature of the matter changed. No matter what, Chen Mu could no longer endure it in silence.
Fortunately, because of China's enormous market, Justin did not dare say anything bad in public. Just look at what had happened to companies like Lotte and D&G. Justin did not dare stroke the tiger's whiskers. Besides, if he really said something inappropriate, his career as a public figure would be over.
Who knew how those reporters would twist his words? That would have a tremendous impact on Hammer Industries' efforts to secure a place in Congress.
"Too bad there isn't an actual B2 or F22 here. Otherwise..."
Fifth-generation fighter technology alone, particularly its stealth technology, would be an immense help to China's military industry. It could allow Chen Mu to help China develop fifth-generation fighter technology and create world-class fighter jets.
After the incident with Justin Hammer, Chen Mu naturally had no desire to remain at Hammer Industries. In any case, he had already touched every weapon he needed to touch, and all their technological data had been replicated.
Simply put, Chen Mu now possessed most of Hammer Tech's technologies. With another wave of breakthroughs through his research capabilities, he could directly surpass Hammer Industries and reach world-class standards!
"This trip to America wasn't wasted!"
Chen Mu was delighted to learn that Xiao Ai had already mastered all the technologies as well.
"Next up is Stark Industries!"
After all that mess, another two days had passed. If nothing unexpected happened, Tony Stark would escape danger within the next day or two and return to America.
That meant Chen Mu would soon acquire the Iron Man technology he had been dreaming of!
"Before that, I need to arrange a visit to Stark Industries."
Visiting Stark Industries was not easy. First, one needed sufficient status. Second, one also needed enough money...
Did they think a visit to an industrial park like that would be free? Not to mention that Chen Mu was not even a citizen of this country!
Therefore, arranging a visit to Stark's industrial park would take some effort.
"Dad, I need to make a trip to Stark Industries' industrial park. I need a suitable identity, so help me get in touch with someone from Stark Industries."
"No problem. Handle the rest yourself."
After checking in with his father over the phone, Chen Mu hung up.
His plan was not particularly clever. It was simple: he would approach Stark Industries as a Chinese toy manufacturer to discuss business cooperation.
Do not think Stark Industries was merely an arms dealer. Its business covered an enormous range, and it had massive markets all over the world.
This time, Chen Mu's proposal was to obtain Stark's authorization to manufacture toy models of all Stark Industries weapons and equipment!
Note that it was "all," including future weapons. In other words, even the Iron Man armor that would appear in the future would be included.
Chen Mu understood very well that nothing in this world could be accomplished in one step. The same was true of building an Iron Man army.
Furthermore, relying solely on his Huaqiangbei System would not be enough to establish an Iron Man army. He had to rely on China's own strength in this world, build assembly lines, and manufacture them himself!
And reviving China did not mean relying entirely on him alone. Revival was the responsibility of all Chinese people!
Huaqiangbei was indeed incredible, but many things could not be accomplished overnight.
This matter could only be planned out gradually.
"Although toy models aren't worth much individually, China's market is huge!"
Suppose they produced toys, whether guns or vehicles. How high could the cost of plastic products be? Sell them for a few dozen or a few hundred yuan, and the profits would still be considerable.
As long as they sold several million sets, that would mean hundreds of millions in profit. Stark Industries might be enormously wealthy, but it could not ignore such profits. A towering building rose from the ground up, and wealth was accumulated bit by bit. Stark Industries was no exception. Even Stark Industries would take notice of profits worth hundreds of millions.
Besides, this deal was only the beginning. There would be more and more opportunities for cooperation in the future.
In short, bringing a partnership worth several hundred million in exchange for one chance to visit the industrial park would not be difficult.
After all, from the perspective of Stark Industries' people, Chen Mu could not carry any of those things away, could he?
"Come to think of it, the benefits Hammer Industries gave me this time are already unbelievable."
Aside from some top-secret technologies, Chen Mu had quietly obtained all of Hammer Industries' technology. It was practically equivalent to the entire Hammer Industries already becoming his possession.
This one company alone would be of tremendous help to Chen Mu's mission of reviving China.
In this world, Hammer Industries was comparable in scale and importance to Lockheed in his previous life. It was one of America's highly advanced and important military-industrial companies. Chen Mu obtaining nearly all of its technologies was like China in his previous life directly taking over Lockheed in its entirety.
Such an impact was enough to change the entire world!
"Xiao Ai, how much help can the technologies I've mastered provide for China's revival?"
"Technology is only a reserve. China's revival can only be realized by putting it into action."
Xiao Ai bluntly pointed out the core issue.
"Mm, it seems I need to establish a large, cutting-edge production base as soon as possible."
Although his family had a small factory, it was completely inadequate for the overall plan to revive China.
"Once I establish connections with the military through this trip, I'll use the military's influence to choose a location and build an industrial zone."
"As for the name, I might as well call it Huaqiangbei..."
"And the location... Futian District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province? It's still a rural area here?"
Futian District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province was precisely where Huaqiangbei had been located in his previous life. After checking the map, Chen Mu discovered that in this world, the place was still an undeveloped rural area.
"Then it's decided!"
In the same place, Chen Mu decided to build the same Huaqiangbei!
