Chapter 47

Ni Guangnan had endured countless grievances after being ousted from Lianxiang.

More than a decade ago, he had single-handedly developed the Lianxiang Hanka, laying the foundation for Lianxiang's rise. Without him, the company would have never reached its heights.

Back then, Liu Chuanzhi had been swindled out of 140,000 yuan while trying to secure TV sets as employee benefits. When the company teetered on the brink of collapse, it was Ni Guangnan who leveraged his Hanka technology to generate 700,000 yuan, reviving Lianxiang from certain death.

Yet, despite his groundbreaking contributions, he had been cast aside, outmaneuvered by schemers.

He sighed, shaking his head.

"Young man, there are things you still don't understand. Even if you try to persuade me, I have no intention of stepping back into the business world."

Jiang Han's expression remained composed.

"I'm not trying to force you, Academician Ni. But have you considered what will happen if you continue to stand on the sidelines, watching Lianxiang grow under someone else's control?"

Ni Guangnan gave a bitter smile and shook his head. "Lianxiang will continue to develop, with or without me."

Jiang Han's expression grew solemn.

"Academician Ni, Lianxiang's initial funding and technology all came from you. But now, the people in charge have taken advantage of your absence. They've secured shares through restructuring and seized control of the company's future.

I understand that you want to be a pure scientist, staying away from power struggles. But have you thought about the future of Longguo's computer industry?

Liu Chuanzhi is just a businessman. If the nation wants to thrive in technology, it needs visionaries like you!"

Jiang Han's words were powerful, each sentence striking like a hammer on Ni Guangnan's heart.

For a moment, he was at a loss for words.

Seeing his hesitation, Jiang Han pressed on.

"I know money and fame don't matter to you. But without your leadership, Lianxiang will only continue to decline under Liu Chuanzhi's rule.

He has systematically expelled every talented executive who opposed him, leaving only obedient followers in key positions. You know this better than anyone."

In his previous life, Lianxiang's reputation had worsened over time, eventually becoming despised by the people of Longguo.

Jiang Han knew that Liu Chuanzhi and Yang Yuanqing were nothing more than opportunists. They ran the company under the guise of serving the nation, yet their actions betrayed those very ideals.

Lianxiang had to be taken down.

Ni Guangnan narrowed his eyes in surprise.

How does this young man know so much?

He knew every detail about Lianxiang's internal power struggles as if he had witnessed them firsthand.

It was clear—Jiang Han hadn't approached him on a whim.

"What exactly do you plan to do?" Ni Guangnan finally asked.

Jiang Han's expression was firm.

"I know convincing you to join me right away is unrealistic. But I promise you this: within six months, my Huaifeng brand will hold a 30% market share in the domestic computer industry. And in three years, I will acquire Lianxiang!"

Silence filled the air.

Then, Ni Guangnan chuckled.

"Young man, your ambitions are admirable, but Lianxiang is a giant in the domestic computer industry. Matching their level would take at least twenty years, let alone acquiring them."

Jiang Han knew words alone wouldn't be enough. He had to prove himself.

His eyes gleamed with determination.

"Fine. If I establish Huaifeng within six months and achieve a 30% market share in the computer market, will you join me?"

Ni Guangnan was momentarily taken aback before laughing.

"Haha, young man, I admire your confidence, but building a brand takes decades. Even Lianxiang doesn't hold a 30% share in the domestic market."

Jiang Han, however, remained unfazed.

What was impossible for others was merely a challenge for him.

He clenched his fists and smirked.

"Lao Ni, if I achieve it, will you join me?"

Ni Guangnan chuckled again. "Fine. If you reach 30%, I'll come without hesitation."

Of course, he didn't take Jiang Han's words seriously. The goal was simply too ambitious.

But Jiang Han grinned.

That was exactly the answer he wanted.

With the system in his hands, it was only a matter of time before he dominated Longguo's computer industry.

"I want to build a future with you, Academician Ni. Together, we can revolutionize Longguo's computer industry and rise to the top of the world.

And I promise you this—when you join me, I will never hinder your research for the sake of business."

Ni Guangnan studied him for a long moment, a strange sense of admiration welling up inside him.

No matter who this young man was, he truly understood him.
