Lu Shu, the founder of Silicon Valley's top AI company, never bows to capital.
Until Pei Xuchuan entered the game.
He entered the scene with the controlling stake and the board of directors, changed the agreement, took away authority, and redrawn the boundaries of decision-making.
On the day of the board of directors' vote, Pei Xuchuan voted for "the company".
Lu Shu didn't argue.
He just took off his work badge on the day he resigned and said calmly: "Mr. Pei, you win."
Later, the company's valuation plummeted and its technical line stagnated. Everyone finally understood——
What they forced away was not a founder;
But the real steering wheel of this company.
Lu Shu turned around and went to Stanford to work on open source protocols and AI governance. Pei Xuchuan was no longer around.
Only then did Pei Xuchuan realize that what he had won was control, but what he had lost was the only one who wanted to stay.
But when he wanted to look back, Lu Shu had learned not to wait.
