She took a deep breath, firmly morized everything around her and the na of this slum village, then put on her black trench coat again and headed towards the distant G District.
At this mont, there were only two days left until the election conference.
However, surprisingly to everyone, nearing the official election, Shen Ye, who was ranked second in the poll, managed to gain hundreds of thousands of pre-votes in just a few days, significantly closing the gap with the first place, Mokaka.
Currently, Mokaka's total support rate stands at 52%, while Shen Ye's is at 47%, just a five percentage-point difference.
And what's even stranger...
These pre-votes mostly ca from Mokaka's once largest voting base—rcenaries and hackers.
...
G District, the top floor of Huangxing Group Headquarters Building.
At this mont, the small chairman's office was packed with the group's executives.
Besides the managers from various departnts, Aurora, Tian En, Frost Moon, Caliduo Hugo, and even Yuanbao, who usually stayed at ho, were present.
Everyone's expression was not very good.
Especially Yuanbao, who originally had dark circles from staying up late, looked particularly gloomy, and now seed so sullen that water could drip out.
"Recently, within the past week, our Sniper Chip sales have plumted to only ten percent, and original orders have decreased by thirty percent."
After a long silence, Aurora first broke the silence in the office.
"Moreover, more than a thousand rcenaries have co to request returns."
"Does anyone have any insights?"
"..."
Silence.
In fact, everyone present understood the reason.
The reason Mokaka and Huangxing Group were able to secure the rcenary voting base was due to the advantage in technological products.
Information Detection Chip and Sniper Chip can markedly enhance rcenaries' combat capabilities, but the price for both chips isn't low, and to purchase at a discount, one must choose to support Mokaka.
rcenaries are very pragmatic; they don't care about policy slogans, they support whoever can benefit them.
And recently, a company nad "Gunman Technology" erged suddenly, successively developing two products.
One is called the "Single Soldier Phase Shift Shield Generator," which functions to form a phase shield around with relatively low energy to deflect attacks.
Due to the characteristics of phase shift technology, this shield can practically defend against 99% of weapons, whether kinetic bullets or lasers, poison, or laser, it can deflect and block them.
Undoubtedly, this thing targets Huangxing Group's "Sniper Chip."
The function of the Sniper Chip is to calculate trajectories, allowing novices to operate any weapon with a hundred percent accuracy.
However, in the face of the Phase Shift Shield, no matter how accurately the sniper hits, it's futile, as the forr will redirect every bullet away.
This thing is priced at 300,000 Silver Cannon, about the sa as the Sniper Chip's price, but it requires a large number of custom batteries for power, which is the real expense, as each battery costs 8,000 Silver Cannon and can only withstand three attacks.
But Gunman Technology released a statent, saying that if Mokaka is forsaken and Shen Ye is supported, 30 batteries can be obtained without charge.
This almost amounts to giving away a Shield Device for free.
The second piece of equipnt is a Single Soldier Exoskeleton Armor.
Although due to insufficient technology reserves, Gunman Technology's Exoskeleton looks sowhat crude, protecting only the joint areas with large gaps in the torso and head...
But this thing is cheap! Previously, the cheapest Single Soldier Armor cost 600,000 a set, whereas this Exoskeleton sells for only 350,000.
Moreover, the most crucial point is that its interior is equipped with an AI system possessing information reconnaissance capability, though its functionality is far less comprehensive than the Information Reconnaissance Chip, and its effectiveness is not nearly comparable, but still, the problem is—it's cheap...
Consequently, relying on these two products, Gunman Technology swiftly captured the voting base originally belonging to Huangxing Group and gave it to Shen Ye.
As for the personnel behind this company, Aurora didn't even need to speculate, because the person's surna was Collection.
Apparently, no effort is made to conceal this.
However, these aspects were not important to Aurora.
What they need to do now is quickly co up with a solution to the problem.
"How about... lowering the product prices again?"
The HR manager Frost Moon tentatively suggested.
"No!"
Aurora and Caliduo Hugo imdiately shook their heads, refusing without the slightest hesitation.
"Price war is absolutely not an option."
Caliduo frowned and explained, "I understand what Frost Moon is implying, you just want to wait until Gunman Technology can't sustain losses and stops this discount promotion."
"But don't forget, they are backed by the Collection Clan. The Collection may lack personnel and strong figures, but will never lack money."
"They entirely have the capital to endure, even losing hundreds of billions is only sowhat painful for them, whereas we obviously don't have that capital."
"Once the prices drop, it's very difficult to raise them again."
Caliduo, having spent half his life in business, understands the marketplace far more than Frost Moon, and after he spoke, Frost Moon and others planning for price reductions fell silent.
But the problem is, apart from the price war, can they offer any other advantages?
Aurora thought for a mont, ultimately placing her focus on Yuanbao.
"I believe this technological conflict still needs to be addressed technologically."
