Three years ago, Northern Lights Technology, which Lu Beichen co-founded, was squeezed out by the capital structure. His equity was diluted and the company was taken away. He experienced lawsuits, breach of trust, divorce, and fell to the bottom of his life. After hibernation, he returned with his new team Chenxing Technology and devoted himself to the development of high-energy-efficiency AI chip **Tianshu**.
Returning to the Shanghai AI Industry Summit, Lu Beichen once again faced off against his former rival He Zhiqiu, as well as his old acquaintance Shen Yuheng caught in the capital whirlpool. Capital hunting ensues: supply chain blockade, anonymous black drafts, administrative intervention, internal lurking whistles, and multiple forces intertwined. Lu Beichen, his partner Chen Mo, talented engineer Lin Zhao and others solved technical difficulties while dealing with complex business wars, maintaining their original intention of technology amidst open and covert attacks.
As evidence gradually surfaced, the truth behind Northern Lights' hostile takeover was slowly revealed. Faced with the stranglehold of capital, Lu Beichen did not insist on revenge, but defended his technological sovereignty, broke through many difficulties, made self-developed chips truly come to fruition, and blazed a path for local technology entrepreneurs on top of the undercurrent of capital.
