I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 491 - 113: The Candidate

Endorsing Mokaka was Huangxing Group's first public stance after a long period of "political vacuum," and it was also their most resolute stance.

Usually, if a company in Nest City wants to support a mayoral candidate, they typically won't stand up directly but will quietly fund them to build momentum for the candidate. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

After all, companies are always ambiguous, and sometimes they hedge their bets on multiple fronts to avoid drawing attention and offending powerful candidates.

But after much consideration, Aurora chose the most determined way of expressing this stance—brazenly campaigning in their own products.

When they first saw this approach, executives like Yuanbao, Tian En, Frost Moon, and others wondered if it was a bit impulsive because once a position is made public, there is no turning back.

Don't forget, Mokaka herself is still in a coma and has not awakened. Whether she can safely participate in the upcoming campaign speech is still unknown.

Isn't it too rash to bet in a hurry?

However, Aurora insisted on her approach, and with Yun You's approval, the plan was executed.

The reason is simple—news of Mokaka's arrest had somehow leaked a while ago, which caused her support rate to drop significantly, even unable to keep stable over the second-place "Shen Ye."

And at this moment, with Mokaka in a coma, unable to explain, her situation has reached a precarious level. Without a timely boost, she might lose the opportunity.

Sometimes elections are about momentum. If a person remains strong, fence-sitters will subconsciously vote for them. Conversely, if they suddenly suffer a setback, the fence-sitters will reevaluate the person's worth.

Aurora's move was precisely to build momentum for Mokaka.

Unlike the struggling girl, the Huangxing Group, which recently released two best-selling products, is undeniably a star company in Nest City, with a market value exceeding 30 billion in the primary market, not including Hugo Pharmaceutical.

Moreover, the products they released are specifically aimed at the powerful and prestigious Apprentice Death God and mercenaries in Lower City.

These people hold substantial votes, making them targets every candidate wants to win over.

In fact, for these people, the change of the Lower City Mayor doesn't significantly affect their lives, so their voting is usually based on who promises more benefits and offers more money.

Now, the fact that the Huangxing Group, which can significantly enhance their capabilities, openly supports Mokaka and states that anyone who votes for Mokaka can enjoy discount benefits is substantial.

This is tangible benefit, much more valuable than other candidates' verbal promises.

The prices of technology products are generally high. A single chip can be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan. Even a 10% discount can save tens of thousands of Silver Cannons.

Therefore, to "shear the wool" from the Huangxing Group, mercenaries eagerly clicked the election link and checked the pre-vote option under Mokaka's card, even calling on friends and family in private chats to vote for them.

After all, the Huangxing Group noted next to the advertisement link that the more votes a team gets, the greater the discount they will enjoy.

For this reason, although the formal voting hasn't started yet, this action is still considered a game-changer, helping Mokaka stabilize the situation and regain the top position.

As for what happens next, it will depend on Mokaka's own fate.

However, this timely assistance also earned the Huangxing Group gratitude from Caliduo Hugo.

This was actually Aurora's main objective.

In the world, it's not always about fighting and killing; it's about social relations, and the same goes for doing business.

Since Caliduo previously stood up to opposition and directly brought Hugo Pharmaceutical into the group, providing significant help, Huangxing Group must also respond in kind—by staunchly supporting Mokaka.

Only by being honest with each other can both parties strive for maximum benefits.

...

Afterward, Huangxing Group entered a brief period of rest.

Although Yuanbao still had many novel products on hand that could be slightly modified and released, the fame of Huangxing Group was already significant enough, and growing any larger might attract unnecessary trouble...

For example, the covetous eyes of giant companies.

It is said that the vast majority of giant companies have dedicated headhunting departments specifically targeting promising up-and-coming enterprises. Once the latter demonstrates sufficient value, they will approach for acquisition.

If agreed, Huangxing Group would become a subsidiary of the giant company. Even if the latter offers generous conditions, such as not meddling in internal affairs but holding the largest share, this does not align with Yun You's founding intent for the company.

If refused, they would face hardship. At that time, even just two decision files from the giants could disrupt Huangxing Group's supply chain and market.

Although there are anti-monopoly laws in Nest City, they scarcely have any effect on giant companies.

Before reaching a great enough scale, Aurora had no intention of provoking any giant company.
