Don't panic, America; this is just civilian technology.

……

On the other hand, after assigning the task of developing a new remote-controlled toy car...

Zhang Chi and his secretary Jiang Rou were preparing to go to the job market to recruit qualified R&D talent for Zhang Guan.

Instead, two young men in suits walked in through the company's main entrance.

In the factory manager's office, after Jiang Rou swayed her hips as she served him tea, Zhang Chi asked with a smile:

"What kind of business do you want to discuss?"

Our company, Anle Toys, has over ten years of OEM manufacturing experience; our prices and quality will absolutely satisfy you.

Currently, the factory has very few OEM orders, and the sales of its own toys are very poor, so any OEM orders are extremely precious.

Even if the OEM price is driven down to a very low level, as long as there is no loss, it is acceptable.

After all, it's impossible to leave workers without work; at least for this month, the workers need to have something to do.

However, what the young man said next made Zhang Chi's face suddenly darken.

"We're not here to discuss business; we're here to discuss acquiring Anle Toys."

After a pause, the young man in the lead spoke in a tone that sounded like he was giving alms:

"My name is Cai Lang, and I am the negotiating representative of Aofei Toys Company. I want to come and acquire your Anle Toys Company."

"I'm sorry, I don't want to sell Anle Toys."

Zhang Chi decisively rejected the acquisition offer.

He knew about Aufield Toys, the absolute king of the four-wheel drive era, Aufield Double Diamond, which was a childhood memory for many people.

"Mr. Zhang Chi, the price of plastic raw materials has surged due to the impact of the trade friction between China and the United States."

There is no hope of a decrease in plastic prices in the short term. Rising toy prices, consumer hesitancy, and declining toy sales are inevitable realities.

Your best course of action is to sell the company at a low price as soon as possible and cash out.

After a pause, Cai Lang continued:

"Alright then, I'll raise the acquisition price to 1.5 million. We're willing to pay that high price to acquire Anle Toys Company!"

Hearing the words "150 million to acquire his company," Zhang Chi smiled.

"Our company, Anle Toys, used to be a medium-sized toy company with 346 employees."

Although there are only 120 employees left now, the factory and equipment are still there, and we can recruit people from the job market at any time to fill the factory.

Moreover, the total value of these devices alone exceeds 150 million.

"You actually want to acquire us for a mere 150 million? This is an insult to me!"

"It's still worth about 150 million now, but if it comes to bankruptcy liquidation, whether you'll actually get 150 million then is really uncertain."

Cai Lang spoke with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, revealing an air of confidence.

Their Orpheus Toys company really wanted to take advantage of the situation.

They just wanted to take advantage of Anle Toys' impending bankruptcy and try to seize control of this medium-sized toy factory.

"Please leave. I will not sell the company."

There's no point in arguing with them; Zhang Chi didn't have the time or energy to continue the conversation.

"Heh, I hope you won't regret it."

Cai Lang shrugged and said, "I don't believe Zhang Chi is really that stubborn."

Watching Cai Lang and his assistant leave, Zhang Chi stood up and said to his secretary Jiang Rou in a deep voice:

"We're going to be very busy from now on."

……

The following morning, while Anle Toys was in a flurry of activity, at the headquarters of Orpheus Toys...

Cai Lang walked into the president's office with a confident smile.

"Second Uncle."

Cai Lang greeted him with a smile as he entered the room.

"Cai Lang, how's the acquisition going?"

Cai Yuanqing, the president of Orpheus Toys, asked Cai Lang about him.

Orpheus Toys has recorded its first loss since the first quarter of this year.

There are many reasons for the losses, such as outsourcing production to others, which leads to higher toy costs.

Another example is the inconsistent quality of toys manufactured by outsourced companies, which led to a decline in user reputation.

This also led Tsai Yuan-ching to want to change the current model of mainly outsourcing to others for manufacturing and supplementing it with some self-produced toys.

This allows for stable and controllable toy quality, reduces the production cost of individual toys, and indirectly allows the company to earn more money.

After all, due to the recent trade friction between the US and China and the overall rise in plastic raw material prices, many small and medium-sized toy factories in China are facing annihilation.

This presents a golden opportunity for Orpheus Toys to snag a bargain.

"I walked around the small and medium-sized toy factories in Dongguan and found a company called Anle Toys that would be perfect for us to acquire."

It was originally a medium-sized toy company, with its factory buildings and equipment still in place, along with a large number of skilled workers and a research and development team, making it a valuable asset.

"If we can successfully acquire them, it will greatly enhance the production capacity and strength of our Orpheus Toys company."

At this point, Cai Lang said confidently:

"Second Uncle, don't worry, I'll handle this matter perfectly for you."

"Okay, then I'll leave this to you. Just let me know if you need anything."

Cai Yuanqing made the decision.

"Yes."

After agreeing, Cai Lang began to think of many insidious ideas on how to force Zhang Chi to compromise.

……

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had gone by, and it was May 16, 2018.

During that month, Zhang Chi had an exceptionally difficult time.

Because Anle Toys uses a base wage plus piece-rate system, a decrease in machine utilization naturally means a reduction in workers' income.

So at the end of last month, a large number of skilled workers applied to resign, wanting him to settle their wages and let them go.

After much persuasion and using his persuasive skills and financial power, Zhang Chi finally managed to stabilize the skilled workers and maintain the factory's production capacity.

After all, without these skilled workers, it would be awkward if the factory couldn't manufacture the new remote-controlled toy car even if it was developed.

The second headache after that is the issue of overtime work for newly recruited R&D personnel and existing R&D personnel.

They were extremely dissatisfied with the situation of having to work overtime and stay up all night every day for research and development.

Faced with such a predicament, Zhang Chi could only rely on his financial power, providing double the overtime pay to successfully stabilize them.

This has exacerbated the financial pressure faced by Anle Toys, or rather, the consequences of bankruptcy.

If the new remote-controlled toy car cannot be successfully developed on schedule, the huge wage costs promised to skilled workers and R&D personnel will be incurred.

It will be like a super bomb, causing huge losses to Anle Toys and Zhang Chi.

Fortunately, although we experienced many twists and turns and encountered many hardships this month, we finally made it through.

Thanks to the hard work and overtime of all the R&D staff in the technology research and development department, and the diligent production of the experienced workers in the factory.

The first "Wildcat Remote Control Toy Car" officially rolled off the production line.

After overcoming numerous difficulties, the Wildcat remote-controlled toy car, which was finally developed, demonstrated its powerful performance.

The entire staff was immediately swept up in a sea of ​​jubilation, filled with confidence in the company's future.

However, Zhang Chi did not get carried away, because he knew that completing the product research and development and manufacturing was only the first step to success.

The next challenge will be how to market the product and how to make the Wildcat remote control toy car a big seller!

Only by making a big sale of Wildcat remote-controlled toy cars can the company's financial crisis be fundamentally resolved.
