In 2024, Jiang Nanyi, CTO of a domestic chip company, is unexpectedly reborn.
When he opens his eyes, he finds himself a deputy-section-level investment promotion official in the development zone of a county-level city in 2010.
Everyone else is scrambling to attract projects, sell land, and outdrink one another at banquets. Only Jiang Nanyi knows that what will truly determine a city’s fate over the next twenty years is who controls the critical links in the industrial supply chain.
So he starts with a single industrial-control MCU.
First, he saves a motor factory on the verge of bankruptcy, then brings in a chip design team. From packaging and testing to power devices, from specialty 6-inch processes to mature 12-inch processes, from industrial software to AI computing centers…
Years later, foreign giants brandish sanctions like clubs.
Looking at the complete industrial chain before him, Jiang Nanyi replies calmly:
“What gives the Ugly Country the right to sanction us? I’m going to sanction the Ugly Country.”
Very pretty [laughs]
