Chenhui Building, in the Photon Force Laboratory on the fourth floor.

?That big rascal Dali.? Tang Muxin pouted and angrily sat onto the chair. Stroking Little Meow in her arms, she dispiritedly said, ?Now that there are only five days left from the deadline, he?s instead still staying here every day and developing that so-called Crazyracing Kartrider. I really don?t know what?s in his heart, why is he so carefree that he doesn?t care about anything!?

Li Nianwei, who was accompanying her by the side, also shook her head. Smiling, she said, ?Young Master is really unconcerned about everything. He only wants to have fun. But it?s exactly because of such a personality that you like him, right??

?Humph humph, who likes him!? Tang Muxin turned her head around and disdainfully said, ?I don?t like this type of nitwitted person!?

As she spoke up to this point, suddenly, Hong Weiguo?s secretary, Xiao Liu, hurriedly entered the laboratory. Upon seeing Tang Muxin, he was delighted and anxiously said, ?Miss Muxin, where is Young Master Dali??

?You?re talking about that nitwitted fellow?? Tang Muxin?s face was full of displeasure as she pointed at the iron laboratory. ?He?s inside developing things. These few days, he?s been staying there. It really makes people anxious to death.?

?Young Master Dali!? Upon hearing that Hong Dali was here, Xiao Liu loudly shouted, ?Young Master Dali, are you here? CEO Hong is looking for you!?

?What?s the matter now!? Hong Dali?s voice was rather annoyed. ?What?s with him finding me every now and then, can we still play happily?!?

Cold sweat dripped down Xiao Liu?s forehead, as he cautiously said, ?Young Master Dali, CEO Hong is looking for you. The car is already parked downstairs, please follow me.?

?We?re now at the critical moment of my research.? Hong Dali was hopping mad. ?Can?t you wait for a while?!?

?It?s really an urgent matter this time.? Xiao Liu was extremely cautious. ?Young Master Dali, please do follow me quickly, it?s really urgent!?

?Alright, alright.? Hong Dali appeared greatly displeased as he came out with his clothes full of oil stains all over. ?Let me make this clear, my side is urgent now, it can be sent for production passing just one more stage. Seriously…?

Xiao Liu was soaked with sweat. It was really extraordinarily difficult to invite this Young Master Dali over!

Upon seeing that Hong Dali had finally come out, everyone instantly got up and followed him to Sangle building.

?Dad, you?re looking for me? What matter is so urgent?? Hong Dali, disregarding the oil stains all over his body, directly sat on the sofa. This fellow also took a bottle of fruit juice and started sucking it. As he drank it, his face was full of grief. ?I was so close to finishing it at my side…?

Upon seeing how Hong Dali was behaving, Mu Tie and Liu Yihui couldn?t help but burst out laughing.

?Little rascal, why are you talking so much rubbish when I?m looking for you!? Hong Weiguo dispiritedly said, ?It?s all because of your bet with Ko Gohon!?

?Just because of this?? Hong Dali?s eyes stared wide open. ?I was still wondering what kind of big matter it was. You called me over so hurriedly just because of this? I could just talk about it back home…?

Hong Weiguo was hopping mad. ?Little rascal, do you know what kind of person you have provoked this time??

?What person?? Hong Dali felt strange and asked, ?Isn?t it Ko Gohon??

?Ko Gohon is just a useless young master!? Hong Weiguo raged. ?The chief consultant of Toyoda Conglomerate, Shiroishi Kazuma, has personally come to our Heavenly State. It?s him who is helping Ko Gohon in the dark! You?re on the verge of losing the bet with him this time, and you?re not the least anxious?!?

?Just because of this?? Hong Dali mumbled, ?It?s such a small matter…?

?This is a small matter?!? Hong Weiguo almost exploded with rage. ?The few of us old fellows have been so troubled over your bet that our hairs are going to turn white soon, yet you?re so calm about it! At the very least you should take it seriously, alright??

Mu Tie and Liu Yihui sighed in unison. This Hong Dali was really muddle-headed…

Tang Muxin grinned as she listened. It was really unbearable to watch!

?But my Crazyracing Kartrider…? Hong Dali was very frustrated. ?It?s left with just the last stage, and after it?s done, it can be sent for production. Dad, why don?t I go back first…?

?Think of an idea before you leave!? Hong Weiguo had a strong urge to ferociously slap him. Fortunately, he controlled himself and didn?t follow up on the urge. ?You can?t expect us few old fellows to think till our hair grows white, right? That?s Ko Gohon, the biggest enemy of our Hong Family! We can lose to anybody but him!?

?That?s true…? Hong Dali scratched his head and asked, ?But how exactly are things going on over there now? I?m not very sure!?

?You brat!? Hong Weiguo furiously said, ?Can you not be so nitwitted! It?s a bet, after all! Aren?t you the least concerned about it??

?That?s true…? Hong Dali thought for a while. ?I?ve been busy upgrading the Holographic Projection and making the Crazyracing Kartrider, how would I have time to care about this??

?Fine!? Hong Weiguo gritted his teeth in fury. ?Then I?ll tell you what exactly is the situation!?

Instantly, Hong Weiguo told him all about the current IP visitor volume at Feng Yun website, the number of books updated within three days, the smartphone reading app that they had made, as well as their advertisements through all the channels.

Alas, after he?d said all these, Hong Dali curiously asked, ?Dad, you needn?t go so far as to think about such a simple matter till your hair turns white, right??

?Simple?! You?re saying that it?s simple?!? Hong Weiguo said in frustration, ?Three of us old fellows, plus my fourth brother have thought for one afternoon and yet we still don?t have any ideas. And now you?re telling me that this is a simple matter?!?

Mu Tie and Liu Yihui were shocked as well. Mu Tie anxiously asked, ?Dali, you?re saying that it?s actually very simple to solve this issue??

?Yes, very simple.? Hong Dali felt strange and asked, ?Uncle Mu Tie, you all really haven?t figured it out??

?If we?d figured it out would we need to call you over here?? Liu Yihui shook his head and desperately asked, ?Then, Dali, according to what you think, how should we solve this??

?I remember we made a smartphone reading app, right?? Hong Dali asked, ?How long did we take to develop that? They wouldn?t have developed it at the same time as us, right? But they can make this smartphone reading app so quickly, so it?s obviously a pirated one…?

?Pirated?? Hong Weiguo touched his chin, then he understood very quickly. ?Dali, you?re saying that their smartphone reading app is a pirated version of ours? Mm, right, this is the case, this is definitely the case!?

Mu Tie also slapped his thighs. ?Right, it must be pirated! As I thought. After all, we took more than a month to develop this app. No matter how fast they are, they wouldn?t be able to make it within a few days? time, right??

?Yes, it?s definitely a pirated one.? Liu Yihui touched his chin, then frowned and said, ?But it?s not easy to deal with this pirated issue. Dali, are you saying that we should sue them for infringement of copyright? But the lines are blurry when it comes to copyright infringement. It?s only counted as copyright infringement if the similarity is sixty percent and above. But I?ve seen their app. They?ve done very well in this, the level of similarity is only around fifty percent.?

?Yes, we can?t succeed in suing them for this.? Hong Weiguo shook his head as well. ?If we don?t eliminate this reading app, we won?t have an absolute advantage. Moreover, even if this app is counted as an infringement of copyright, how is it related to your bet??

?It?s not!? Alas, Hong Dali said very confidently. ?I?m just mentioning this. Anyway, we must attack him in all aspects.?

?No…? Hong Weiguo stumbled, but this time, he had more or less understood that his precious son definitely had some good idea. ?Mm, then say, how you would attack him??

?That?s simple.? Hong Dali grinned. ?We were the first to make the app, right? A patent has definitely been applied for this, right? They can avoid risks, but it doesn?t mean that we can?t change! As long as we copy a portion of the source code of their app at the most unassuming part, we can increase the aspect of similarity to sixty percent and above, and that?ll do.?

Once Hong Dali said this, everyone instantly drew in a cold breath!

This Hong Dali usually seemed like he was rather harmless, but it turned out that once he really decided to be mean, he was definitely exceptional!

Initially, the level of similarity of the other party?s software compared to theirs was only around fifty percent. If they followed Hong Dali?s idea, it would be secretly changing their own source code and making the level of similarity with the other party to be over sixty percent!

Anyway, we were the ones who made it first, and we?ve applied for a patent for it first. It really wouldn?t be a problem to do this secretly!

?You can actually think of such an idea!? Mu Tie was soaked in cold sweat. ?Dali, this idea of yours is really… I?ll go and get someone to do it right away!?

Liu Yihui also nodded firmly and said, ?This idea is really impressive. It?s a tactic of taking extreme means to deal with the problem. Chopping off their reading app is akin to chopping off their arm!?

?Dali, have you watched too many conspiracy films recently?? Hong Weiguo was also soaked in cold sweat as he cautiously asked, ?What about the later part? What should we do about the bet??

?It?s simple to deal with the bet too.? Hong Dali stretched long and hard. ?We can just expose that the boss behind Feng Yun website is this Jabanese Ko Gohon. And then we can spread this atmosphere and make a bigger noise over this, further enhancing the ethnic standpoint?that will more or less do it…?

Lastly, Hong Dali added, ?And then we can find Uncle Chief to go down and do some inspection, and that?ll do.?

?Ah…? After saying these, Hong Dali hurriedly stood up. ?Alright, if there isn?t any other problem, I?ll leave first. There?s really one last stage before it can be sent for production…?

After Hong Dali had left, Hong Weiguo and the other two hadn?t completely reacted to this.

The impact was a little too great on them.

This prodigal Hong Dali who was playful and carefree seemed like he was actually rather brilliant…

?Why didn?t I this of this?? Hong Weiguo pinched his face hard. ?Why??

?Yes,? Mu Tie nodded. ?Why didn?t I think of this??

?It hurts our pride…? Liu Yihui agreed. ?Your Dali is much more mean than us…?
