You Think I Get Too Much of the Profits? I’m Pulling My Investment to Build Silicon Valley

At the turn of the millennium, Lu Chen returned to China with ten billion yuan in capital and kept himself behind the scenes.

He helped street vendors rise from the bottom to become a logistics giant, and invested capital to help a fallen family consolidate its industrial businesses.

But as the various forces grew stronger, they grew jealous and wary of the 40% of shares he held.

At a provincial chamber of commerce meeting, they joined forces to force his hand: "We built Jianghai through our own hard work. You, Lu Chen, only put up the money. What gives you the right to claim the biggest slice of the pie?"

Surrounded by his opponents, Lu Chen sneered and promptly signed an agreement to sell his shares, pulling out all his capital and core patents!

He then headed to the province's poorest place, Nanniwan, leased barren hills, built factories, and embarked on a path of hard-core, technology-driven development.

Everyone thought Lu Chen's fortunes had come to an end.

But before long,

drones, new-energy batteries, and lithography equipment from Nanniwan stunned the world! The poorest village in the province had become a world-class hub for scientific and technological innovation!

Meanwhile, the capital groups that had forced Lu Chen out saw their funds dry up and their industries collapse. Their once-mighty business empires came crashing down.

When a crowd of business magnates knelt outside Nanniwan headquarters, begging Lu Chen to return and take charge, he smiled faintly. "Back then, you thought I was taking too much of the profits. Now your industries have collapsed. What does that have to do with me, a country bumpkin doing research?"
