Chapter 1753: Chapter 1251: Defeating Them One by One (2)
President Wang slumped in his chair as if all his strength had been drained away, finally managing a difficult nod.
Following this, Huang Jiacai personally visited President Li at his family’s ancestral ho located in the suburbs, sharing lunch with him and several family mbers who also held key positions in the company.
During the al, Huang Jiacai never ntioned the alliance crisis; instead, he spoke with President Li’s elder relatives about the hardships of founding the enterprise and discussed the industry’s future trends with the younger generation. His foresight and understanding of the industrial chain deeply impressed the Li family’s younger mbers.
After the al, in the antique-style study of the Li family, Huang Jiacai got to the point.
“President Li, the technology license from the giant seems like a shortcut,” Huang Jiacai laid out a report he had brought, ticulously analyzed, “but look here, and here… Restrictive clauses like these effectively bind your company’s research and developnt in the high-end enzy sector for the next ten years, cutting off your future path entirely. Furthermore, the giant company and its controlling BG Company renouncing deals after crossing the river is not uncommon. The so-called ten-year contract: when needed, it’s a contract; when you’re no longer useful, it’s just a piece of waste paper.”
Then, Huang Jiacai imdiately presented another docunt, filled with bloody examples of BG Company and the giant company abandoning and using so companies over the years.
“Cooperation is always about mutual leverage; when you’re no longer valuable, what do you think will happen? Your enterprise is the result of several generations of family blood and sweat. Do you really want to forever remain a mid-to-low end vassal, watching your descendants bow to others’ rules? Even being discarded like a rag in the end?”
He appealed emotionally and reasoned rationally.
Next, he presented more practical stakes: “I know your company has recently been facing cash flow issues due to rapid expansion. As the first batch of support for the alliance’s ‘Risk-sharing Fund,’ Ruixing can imdiately offer an unsecured interest-free loan to help your company through this difficult period. Moreover, I have convinced two other companies within the alliance that require large amounts of enzys to sign a five-year priority procurent agreent with your company, ensuring the stability of your basic market.”
What Huang Jiacai offered was not an illusory ideal but realistic survival assurance and developnt space. He precisely captured President Li’s core demands as the helmsman of a family business—the stable inheritance and long-term developnt of the enterprise.
President Li looked at the clear pros and cons analysis in the report, then at Huang Jiacai’s sincere eyes, and rembered the admiration of his juniors during the al, causing his inner balance to tilt completely. Cooperation with the giant was tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house; binding with Ruixing and the alliance was the true hope for continuity of the family enterprise.
Finally, he must et with President Zhang, whose company is also one of the most important enterprises in the “Alliance.”
President Zhang is proud and values his reputation, with an engineer’s background.
He did not arrange a eting at a private location but went directly to Ruixing’s data center for a technical discussion on the “importance of data security and standardization” with President Zhang.
After demonstrating the grand blueprint of the alliance’s unified data platform, Huang Jiacai casually switched to another interface, displaying so complex network traffic data and communication record fragnts that were blurry but still recognizable.
“President Zhang, while constructing this unified platform, we discovered so rather interesting… ‘anomalous data exchanges,'” Huang Jiacai’s tone was calm, as if discussing a technical bug, “it seems external nodes are attempting to use so non-standard interfaces to… well, make ‘unfriendly handshakes’ with our core database. Fortunately, our defense system is strong enough.”
President Zhang’s face changed slightly, adjusting his glasses to conceal his inner panic. Those data fragnts looked remarkably similar to traces of his recent secret contacts with BG technical personnel.
Huang Jiacai didn’t look at him, continuing to stare at the screen, speaking slowly, “The technology itself is innocent, but those who use it must have principles and standpoints. Especially at this critical juncture concerning the future national industry, any actions potentially compromising alliance data security and standard independence are unforgivable. Wouldn’t you agree, President Zhang?”
He turned his head, calmly looking at President Zhang, but beneath that calm was an icy understanding of everything.
“Of course,” Huang Jiacai’s tone shifted to a more amicable one, “I believe President Zhang, like us, wishes to create a pure, safe, autonomous, and controllable tech environnt. I’ve always believed that the position of Alliance Chief Software Architect, as well as future leadership in the Data Standards Committee, would be no one else’s but President Zhang’s. Only soone of your technical authority can lead us down a truly unique path; if we’re successful, President Zhang will be a national hero in this field, a master, a pioneer!”
President Zhang pretended to look at the screen, his mind racing as cold sweat broke out.
Collaborating with the giant company was akin to working for others, but following Huang Jiacai could genuinely make him a national hero, a prestigious figure, the Alliance’s Chief Software Architect, and the future leader of the Data Standards Committee—sothing beyond financial asurent, a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity worth fighting for.
Already over forty years old, he may never encounter such a chance again. President Zhang felt as if he had returned to his post-graduation days, brimming with youthful ambition.
