You Couldn't Even Keep a Phone Company Afloat, and Now You're Building a Military-Industrial Complex?

The sanctions hit, and Hansheng Mobile, which relied on overseas sales of low-end phones, went bankrupt overnight.

Unable to take the blow, his father ended his life. His mother suddenly suffered a brain hemorrhage and was hospitalized, unconscious.

Chen Yang was still working like a pack mule in his research group, with his doctorate unfinished. He went from being a rich second-generation kid to drowning in debt, saddled with the phone company's enormous debts to its suppliers.

When Chen Yang dropped out, everyone thought he was headed for the darkest days of his life.

But no one expected that in just six months, Hansheng's phone factory would rise from the ashes to become a top-tier star among domestic brands, smashing through the wall of overseas sanctions with sheer force.

They cut off the supply of phone chips? He answered with chips built on an even more advanced process!

They cut off the supply of Hansheng phone camera lenses? He took phone imaging to new heights!

They laughed at Hansheng for making cars? In no time, Hansheng cars were competing for dominance in overseas markets!

They mocked Hansheng for making products with poor value for money? Its high-value, affordable strategy made rival manufacturers sing its praises!

They scoffed at the high price of Hansheng Heavy Industries' drones? Its integrated reconnaissance-and-strike drones would overturn the very principles of warfare!

Countless infuriated business owners denounced Chen Yang as a thug! Those were exactly the voices Chen Yang wanted to hear.

“Frustration points +9999. Congratulations, Host, you’ve unlocked brand-new cutting-edge technology!”

Whatever the people needed, Hansheng would make.

A super-corporation spanning every industry was rising!
