Chapter 68: Doing global weapons e-commerce

However, it was a pity that the "Dragon Nation Unofficial Weapons Flagship Store" had not received any other orders during this period, except for the Axis of Resistance.

There had been quite a few inquiries, but they all backed out because of the "payment before delivery" policy.

Therefore, after delivering the Hamas order,

Lin Yi asked the system if it could add an evaluation function to the dark web, like Taobao.

Additionally, he wanted to set up a weapon display function.

"Ding... detected that the host's request can be realized!"

"... Do you want to spend 1 million USD to upgrade the online store!"

Although the price was a bit expensive, Lin Yi agreed directly without almost any hesitation:

"Upgrade!"

"Upgrade complete!"

In an instant, when Lin Yi logged into the flagship store attached to the dark web, the entire interface was different.

Unlike ordinary network engineers modifying code, which might leave traces,

the webpage upgraded by the system would not only not have any traces,

but the entire webpage was attached to many international dark web sites, simply like a network ghost.

Never mind IP addresses; even if you entered the backend of the dark web site, you would not be able to find any traces of the "Dragon Nation Flagship Store."

And important clients like the Syrian militants had previously received a software package.

As long as they clicked on this package, they could see the Dragon Nation Flagship Store website on the dark web.

With the launch of the new website, Lin Yi found that his store really looked more and more like a weapons version of an e-commerce platform.

It not only had an evaluation function but also had a video upload function.

Of course, it was impossible for Lin Yi to test those weapons in the Dragon Nation.

After all, the Dragon Nation's Sky Net system was not a joke.

Even if he ran into the deep mountains and old forests, if he were accidentally captured by a camera, he would be in big trouble.

Fortunately, the system's capabilities on the internet were no joke;

as long as Lin Yi wanted the specific usage effect of a certain weapon, he could spend some money,

and the system could generate a series of videos similar to real-life CG.

The level of detail was enough to pass for the real thing.

Besides this, the launched website also had a function for clients to upload short videos.

They could upload their usage experience of the weapons, etc.

Soon, clients including those in Syria, Yemen, Gaza, and Lebanon, as well as potential users, received the news.

"The Dragon Nation Flagship Store has been completely revamped and has launched many functions, please take note!"

The Hamas organization, which had just been busy all night, logged onto the website immediately after receiving the notification.

After understanding the new functions through the introduction on the website,

a laudatory evaluation was produced.

"Unparalleled weapon quality, ultra-low prices, the Dragon Nation Flagship Store is like a blessing bestowed by Allah,

...."

Next, a group of masked militants began to upload short videos.

These included trial recordings of various rockets, RPGs, and submachine guns.

Soon, the Syrian side was not to be outdone; not only did they give a good review,

but they also uploaded war videos of their past recovery of lost territory, with the main focus being authenticity.

Many clients who were still on the sidelines, once they saw these videos and evaluations,

felt confident.

Lin Yi immediately received quite a few intended purchase orders.

These included South American gangs, Mexican drug cartels, African mercenaries, child soldiers, and so on.

There was no other way; Lin Yi could only reply to them one by one.

And as long as the other party had an intention, he would send them some videos and manuals of the weapons,

with the main focus being people-oriented, where the customer is God.

For a time, the arms store could be said to be booming in popularity.

Although most people were still just talking and not buying, Lin Yi felt moved by the exchanges with them.

And now his weapons website was just like Taobao at the beginning.

The number of orders was surprisingly low.

But that was only because most clients were not familiar with this mail-order-like way of purchasing weapons.

Just think, if one day those who needed weapons

could purchase various weapons just like Dragon Nation people bought goods on Taobao or Pinduoduo,

and in the future, not only could they have free home delivery, but they could also protect the buyer's privacy,

plus there would be no layer-upon-layer price hikes by arms dealers,

and the price would be only a fraction of the arms company's cost,

then what would happen?

Most importantly, the Dragon Nation Flagship Store was different from platforms like Taobao.

It was neither C2C nor B2C.

All products were self-produced and self-sold.

Just like a Jingdong self-operated store, it rejected all middlemen.

By then, relying on the system, Lin Yi's Dragon Nation Flagship Store

could completely drive the prices of various weapons below the cost price of each country.

Just think how scary that would be.

As long as you wanted, even buying a pistol could be done through online shopping.

By then, this website of Lin Yi's would likely become the world's largest weapons e-commerce platform.

It would let all the profits that should have belonged to the arms dealers of various countries enter his own pockets.

However, the prerequisite for achieving this was that he must absolutely not expose himself.

Otherwise, even the Dragon Nation might not be able to protect him.

Those arms dealers who lost their profits might then want to drink his blood and eat his flesh.

Of course, wanting to develop to that stage was still difficult to achieve now.

After all, the spacetime transport fee was too expensive.

50,000 USD per time.

This meant that goods purchased from the Dragon Nation Flagship Store had to be worth at least over 50,000 USD; otherwise, it would be a loss-making business. ===== CHAPTER 69 =====

This means that any goods purchased from the Dragon Nation flagship store must exceed at least 50,000 USD; otherwise, it would be a case of losing money just to drum up business.
