Extraneous Tactics

"We can't let him keep developing like this! We need to think of something!"

The GD Racing Tournament had only ended three days ago, and everyone's lives had returned to normal.

But in the Island Nation, the official Mini Four-Wheel Drive Car company, which had been closely monitoring the market, was starting to panic.

In just three days, their sales in the Huaxia market had plummeted, and they expected the decline to continue.

They had also been researching chips, even buying and dismantling several GD Racers specifically for research.

Recently, their finished product had come out. While its effect was definitely not as good as the GD Chip, and could be considered a degraded version, the cost was not low at all.

After a little calculation, unless they could regain their original market share, the price of 998 would not yield the same profit as before.

Who could stand that?

After making money so easily for so long, they were now spending money on advertising and research, only to see their profits decrease.

No one was happy about it!

"Liang Xing Toys Factory was on the verge of bankruptcy before. Our people found out that GD Racers only came about after that man graduated and returned."

"I've already made arrangements to teach them a small lesson first."

"Actually, we could consider overseas markets. Raising prices should be possible, right?"

"Yūjirō! You're running away!"

"The Huaxia people's expansion speed is beyond imagination. Do you think he'll let the overseas market go?"

"The Huaxia people have money! We can't withdraw from the Huaxia market!"

"...Then I'll withdraw." Yūjirō was silent for a moment, but still insisted on his choice.

The conference room instantly fell silent.

"Yūjirō? Have you thought this through?"

Although the existence of GD Racers had greatly reduced the company's profits, a reduction never meant no profit at all.

And if their plan succeeded, the company could return to its former position, or even reach a higher level!

"I've thought it through."

Yūjirō nodded. His intuition told him that withdrawing from the Huaxia market was the only way out.

To this end, he had studied Liang Xing Toys Factory's expansion route, and he was also responsible for the dedicated procurement of GD Racers for the company's research.

This led him to unexpectedly discover that Liang Xing Toys Factory was facing a serious shortage of supply.

Before the tournament, Liang Xing Toys Factory's sales focus had slowly shifted to parts, and the supply problem of basic GD Racers was not yet obvious.

But after the tournament's publicity, the GD Chip was once in short supply.

Basic GD Racers in physical stores were basically sold out as soon as they arrived. Now, orders were mostly placed online, and physical stores served more as venues for competitions and selecting parts.

But this was on a national scale. When it came down to individual cities, there weren't actually that many racers.

Baisha City was the only exception.

As the place of origin, it had a physical store that had been operating for a long time, providing a place for racers to gather.

Moreover, A Lie had also encouraged many local racers to build their own tracks.

The vast majority of these were old Mini Four-Wheel Drive Car tracks.

Many racers from other places would drive over during their vacations to race.

In addition, with the Baishi Mountain track in Baisha County, even more racers came attracted by its reputation.

As both were Mini Four-Wheel Drive Cars, everyone understood the principle of ebb and flow.

After the tournament's publicity, Mini Four-Wheel Drive Cars were even losing their grip on parents' wallets, so it was no wonder they were desperate.

This wasn't like when they were kids. There were many choices available now.

Even Mini Four-Wheel Drive Cars were now more often run on tracks than off-road.

Off-road racing was a niche within a niche.

But GD Racers needed a long enough track to add to the fun, and voice control meant that racers had to run alongside them.

And running alongside them meant that the toy's audience wouldn't be too large.

In the internet age, how many people were willing to go out and run around like crazy?

Yūjirō understood that his company's competitiveness was far inferior to the other side.

The only way out was probably to take advantage of the other side's insufficient production capacity and lay out the overseas market in advance, which might allow them to recover costs and make a fortune!

But he couldn't convince the company's other shareholders based on intuition alone, and he couldn't guarantee that Liang Xing Toys Factory wouldn't develop the overseas market.

Even if its current production capacity was insufficient, how much money had Liang Xing Toys Factory made from the GD Racing Tournament?

If you have money, why fear insufficient production capacity?

Although the fact was that even with money, production capacity was insufficient, since there was only one Liang Xing, Yūjirō didn't dare to gamble.

So, after hesitating again and again, he still proposed to withdraw his shares.

"Then I'll take it."

Miyatashi Teru, who had arranged to teach Liang Xing Toys Factory a lesson, broke the silence.

"Thank you, President."

"I need your guarantee that you won't reveal a single word you've heard today." Miyatashi Teru didn't need incompetent people sharing in the company's rebirth, and spoke with a cold face.

"Yes! Please rest assured, President!"

Withdrawing and transferring shares would definitely result in a significant loss, but Yūjirō believed it was a necessary measure to cut his losses.

His wife was newly pregnant, and if the company went bankrupt, he would struggle to cover the family's expenses.

Compared to the other shareholders, he trusted his intuition more.

"Michiko is pregnant, isn't she? Then you two should rest well at home for the time being. Everyone will prepare a gift for you."

"...Yes!"

Michiko was Yūjirō's wife, and Yūjirō naturally knew what Miyatashi Teru was afraid of.

Until the company and Liang Xing Toys Factory determined a victor, there would likely be surveillance around his house.

Fortunately, he had never considered leaking information; he was simply trying to cut his losses.

Huaxia, Baisha City.

"Boss! The official website is down again!" Zhou Shuya frowned. This was the umpteenth time the official website had crashed in the past few days.

At first, with so many orders, she thought the website crash was a server issue. After reporting it, she quickly upgraded the server's bandwidth and hardware parameters.

But after a short while of improvement, the official website crashed again.

This time, she knew someone was deliberately causing trouble and quickly contacted Liang Xing.

Actually, the protection of Liang Xing Toys Factory's official website was quite strict.

Although it was just a firewall that Liang Xing had casually coded, he thought that ordinary attacks wouldn't be able to break through it, and the effect was pretty good.

After all, My Pondering Power didn't create something from nothing; it just turned assumptions into reality, and in principle, still followed the laws of physics.

Too high-end network protection would require more complex algorithms and code, so Liang Xing, who didn't have much time, chose a simpler method, first making an ordinary one to make do.

Of course, his "making do" basically surpassed the vast majority of firewalls on the market.

These days, as soon as the official website crashed, Zhou Shuya immediately had to find Liang Xing to solve the problem.

This, to some extent, promoted Liang Xing's determination of the next toy idea.

There was still a lot of money needed to launch a satellite, but relying on equipment to achieve Holographic Projection was not difficult for Liang Xing.

You want to play dirty tricks with me?

Then I'll have to play with you properly!

Liang Xing wasn't bothered at all by the underhanded tactics of the other side. On the contrary, he had to thank them for helping him determine the next toy.

He just hoped they hadn't spent too much money on this trick.

Otherwise, if they were broken too quickly, it wouldn't be fun~

Of course, Liang Xing also needed to prepare some life-saving measures.

He was still a little afraid that the other side wouldn't be able to win and would directly engage in a real-life PK.

Although Zhang Long and Zhao Hu provided protection at all times, sometimes, it was still more reliable to rely on himself.
