Harrison Clark went back to the PPT index page and pointed to the last two items, “Look, isn’t it all here? Once we complete all the prerequisites, the carbon chip prototype will be available within six months at the latest. You can also see the requirements of quantum algorithms for chip computing power and characteristics…”
Harrison then jumped to the original last item, the core programming concept of quantum computers.
Rainer quickly skimmed through it.
After a long time, Rainer slowly calmed down and looked at Harrison’s head with an incredibly shocked gaze.
What’s going on inside your head?
Rainer became jealous.
He didn’t know how Harrison built such a vast, perfect, and interconnected industrial progression in his mind.
What’s even more outrageous is that this guy not only has a concept, but he has even accurately grasped the challenges of the entire industry structure and came up with viable ideas in his mind, only needing verification from Rainer himself.
It was worse than last time!
In the eyes of ordinary people, Rainer was already a godlike figure, standing at the peak of the tower of wisdom, often revered by others.
Definitely no one could imagine that one day he would gaze at another person with the same reverence.
Half an hour later, when Harrison had just finished briefly explaining the core idea of carbonaceous material to Rainer, Chris Owen returned with a determined look in his eyes.
“I’ll invest a part in the new projects. It’s not a big problem on my side. According to the previous estimates, my planned investment scale was already over 4 billion. I invested 800 million in the first phase, but I’ve always considered the necessity of additional investment, so the group’s industrial integration has never stopped, and currently, I’ve got 1.2 billion in cash available on the books.”
Harrison was both surprised and thought that it was reasonable.
He was a bit disappointed, thinking that he could continue to secretly weaken the Whale Group’s controlling situation, but his wishful calculation came up empty.
“Mr. Owen has such great courage.”
Chris Owen smiled, “It’s Harrison’s ability that makes me think I’d regret it for the rest of my life if I don’t follow today.”
“Alright, let me briefly introduce to you what I’m going to do next.”
Harrison opened another marketing PPT, which was half storytelling and half explaining dry goods.
Half an hour later, Chris Owen felt a little dizzy.
Is this crazy?!
Did everything just turn upside down?!
I thought it was just a concept, and you were planning to use a long time to make slow breakthroughs. But have you already reached this point?
When did you do the preliminary research?
If it weren’t Harrison saying these things, he could slap the speaker in the face.
Look at what you’re saying.
A mature carbon chip computer has at least a hundred times the computing power of silicon chips of the same size, and it can be even larger and have a three-dimensional structure? Doesn’t that sound like a fairy tale?
When Chris Owen started listening, he had a million questions in his mind, such as how to solve the chip architecture, how to deal with instruction sets, and how to create the system. It had to be done step by step.
But instead, as Harrison’s explanation went deeper step by step, Chris Owen found that he already had a complete idea, from the manufacture of carbonaceous materials to the chip technology and then to the completely new architecture that breaks away from the monopoly of mobile phones, PCs, and servers on the current market.
In his description, the carbon chip can achieve more than a thousand times the computing power of existing chips under the same volume, energy consumption, and heat generation with a multi-layer structure.
If you want to pursue extreme performance and radically innovate the chip, the performance of human supercomputing centers can at least be expanded exponentially by ten thousand times.
If the scenario Harrison envisioned comes true, then the patent barriers built by others in the chip industry will collapse on their own, and others will seek to cooperate with him, so the development of chips and artificial intelligence will be up to him.
“I’ll stop introducing the carbon chip stuff here.”
Finally, Harrison summarized.
Chris Owen breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing his excited emotions. The next thing shouldn’t be so terrifying, right? They should take it slow.
“Next, I’ll talk about the no-attenuation and infinite-circulation-use large-capacity battery technology.”
Chris Owen tentatively asked, “How big is the capacity approximately?”
Harrison thought for a moment, “This is a solid-state battery, its energy density should be more than thirty times that of the best existing lithium batteries. And as other materials are researched and developed, this number will rise further, with a limit of about… three hundred times.”
Buzz!
Chris Owen’s mind shook violently, almost fainting on the spot.
He thought he heard wrong.
One of Whale Group’s main business segments already included battery technology. As for the research level of new energy batteries, the Bluewave Center considered itself second domestically, and no one dared to claim the first place.
Looking at the world, the Bluewave Center also ranked well.
He never thought there could be a battery with no attenuation and infinite circulation use. This capacity, however, was too shocking!
But reason told him that Harrison had no need to boast.
At first, Chris Owen was still skeptical, but after Harrison briefly explained the specific electrode material, energy storage medium material, and regeneration technology principles, he believed it.
“I’ll stop talking about battery technology here. Let me talk about the next thing.”
Chris Owen sat up straight, as if returning to his serious manner of listening to lectures in his youth.
He also firmly believed that he was fully prepared for anything, no matter what he heard next, and would remain calm.Harrison Clark: “Low attenuation microwave high-load power transmission technology…”
Chris Owen: “Holy shit! Seriously?”
Harrison Clark nods, “Of course, I’m serious. Haven’t I already mentioned the names?”
“Oh, not that… Wow!”
Mr. Owen suddenly thought of the new type of solar panels technology they had already agreed on before.
He realized that if they combined both, it seemed possible to generate electricity in space and transmit it to Earth, so he couldn’t help but be excited.
When Harrison Clark saw his reaction, he knew Mr. Owen got the idea and gave him a thumbs up. “You’re not wrong, Mr. Owen. That’s exactly what I’m planning. In the future, we can stop relying on nuclear fusion power plants, geothermal power, wind power, tidal power, and ground-based solar power. It’s meaningless. Sooner or later, we’ll disassemble Mercury and create the initial Dyson Cloud.”
After listening to the introduction of microwave power transmission, Chris Owen wanted to sell his company again.
“The next one is the concept of quantum computers, seamlessly connected with carbon chips…”
“Now, let me explain in detail the specifics of the two biology and medical projects. You guys only know the names, so let me give you a comprehensive explanation.”
“In summary, if Dr. Lamenik’s progress goes smoothly, we can conquer lung cancer, liver cancer, lymphoma, chronic granulocytic leukemia, AIDS, and ALS, as well as numerous viral and primary diseases, within the next thirty years.”
“If Dr. Ethan Evans’ progress goes smoothly, we’ll discover the deeper secrets of human genes and enter the next phase of the Human Genome Project. The human species will gradually step into the post-human or neo-human stage within a hundred years.”
Listening to Harrison Clark’s final two points, Rainer and Chris Owen were both stunned.
Is the truth so brutal?
Have we been reading the wrong books?
Harrison Clark saw their astonished faces and just gave them a mysterious smile, then began explaining the intricacies of gene activation to these two “country bumpkins.”
Before they knew it, it was late at night.
After a long time, the two gradually came to their senses.
They finally glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of Harrison Clark’s ambitions.
“Let’s settle things this way for now. Mr. Owen, you can take this PPT back and have Whale Group’s technical staff hold a closed-door meeting to evaluate it. Assume that over 95% of it can be achieved within twenty years and use this standard to gauge the value. Our next steps in collaboration and equity division will be based on the value of my contribution through this technology. Rainer’s contribution ratio will also be taken into account. I have a pretty clear idea in my mind, and I hope you won’t disappoint me, Mr. Owen.”
It was getting late, and Harrison Clark let Chris Owen leave first.
In the following days, Harrison Clark spent most of his time in the small meeting room behind the chairman’s office, lecturing Rainer.
Meanwhile, Chris Owen was pushing hard on the valuation, but the more he evaluated, the more headaches he had.
If they simply measured potential value, it would be incalculable.
In their previous stock allocation, Chris Owen had paid a huge price upfront, but he had also obtained a fair amount of stock allocation. This was because Harrison Clark valued Whale Group’s existing resources.
But such a good deal could only happen once. Now that Harrison Clark added another twelve core technologies, they had to settle the accounts honestly.
Moreover, after combining the previous nine technologies with the current twelve, the resulting integration effect on the industrial chain would cause a geometric growth in the technologies’ value.
In the end, Chris Owen had to face the reality that if he wanted Harrison Clark to bring these technologies into the Summit Research Institute, Whale Group’s controlling stake might have to continue to decline.
Chris Owen weighed the options and decided to take the initiative to concede.
Five days later, after Rainer had listened to the explanations on his side, both parties signed a new contract.
Whale Group invested an additional 1.2 billion, but Harrison Clark’s stake increased to 65%, Whale Group’s stake slid to 31%, and Rainer’s stake was adjusted to 4%.
Everything seemed natural and justifiable.
Although Chris Owen struggled and showed great boldness, he still couldn’t escape the fate of a stock ratio decline.
This was the advantage of having absolute technological superiority.
Both parties signed the contract, and everything was back on track.
Harrison Clark turned his attention back to Summit Ventures.
He cleared the previous inventory, arranged buyers for the new songs, coordinated with platforms like Spotify Top and N0.1 Fly, prepared for the pre-launch promotions for Carrie Thomas, Ward Owen, and Lucy Haywood’s new albums, and worked on the establishment of Summit Studio and Summit Games.
At the same time, he started personally reaching out to people to discuss the script matters.
The situation was different now, with more than ten polished scripts in his hand besides the previous plots and storylines, ready to start shooting.
He wanted to give it a try.
Things weren’t as simple as he had imagined, though.
While he was well-respected in the music industry, his influence in the film industry was limited to others hoping he would write the soundtrack and theme songs.
Unlike others who acted and sang, his talent for songwriting and scriptwriting was rare, especially when he also wanted to finance the projects himself.
Harrison Clark wasn’t in a rush. He was just asking for entertainment and taking things one step at a time.
He arranged for translators in the company to translate the scripts and prepare an English version to send directly to James Diaz..
