530: Chapter 525 Betting the Next Ten Years

Shen Yan was not surprised.

He pressed the intercom button.

"Wu Ya, send in the 'Dawn' A-level technical documents and the financial model."

Zheng Hong's eyebrows twitched slightly.

A-level technical documents?

This core secret was being handed over so easily?

His disdain for Shen Yan increased by another degree.

Too young, didn't understand the viciousness of the business world.

Wu Ya soon entered and placed two thick files on the desk.

She glanced at Zheng Hong, then at Shen Yan, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Shen Yan gave her a reassuring look.

Wu Ya nodded, withdrew, and gently closed the door.

"Mr. Zheng, please take a look."

Shen Yan pushed the documents over.

Zheng Hong adjusted his glasses and opened the technical document titled 'Core of Dawn'.

He hadn't attended the summit yesterday, only reading his assistant's briefing.

Regarding the term 'Quantum Chip', he instinctively thought it was hype, a gimmick.

However, when his gaze fell upon the first page of the document, his breath hitched for a moment.

It was an incomparably complex architecture diagram.

It was not any Von Neumann architecture he was familiar with.

Instead, it was an entirely new 'Neural Pulse' computing model based on quantum entanglement and superposition.

Zheng Hong had a background as a technical analyst; he could understand it.

Precisely because he understood it, he felt a wave of palpitation.

This was not fantasy.

This was a logically self-consistent and theoretically completely feasible disruptive solution.

His disdain was instantly replaced by shock.

He looked up, re-examining the overly young man before him.

"This... was this developed independently by your team?"

His voice was somewhat dry.

"I constructed the core theoretical model."

Shen Yan's tone was as flat as if he were discussing the weather.

Zheng Hong's heart, however, pounded heavily.

He stopped talking and buried his head to continue reading.

Time passed minute by minute.

Only the sound of rustling paper remained in the office.

An hour later, Zheng Hong closed the technical document and let out a long breath.

A thin layer of fine sweat had beaded on his forehead.

The way he looked at Shen Yan had completely changed.

The contempt and criticism were gone, replaced only by gravity and a hint of reverence.

"Mr. Shen, I apologize for my previous attitude."

He was very frank.

"The value of this document is incalculable."

"But this also means that the difficulty of its implementation is equally hellish."

He pointed to the other financial model.

"Let's discuss the money."

"According to your model, the project initiation alone requires five billion in funding, and subsequent annual R&D investment will be a bottomless pit."

"Can the profitability of the janus Project truly support this?"

"It cannot."

Shen Yan's reply was once again beyond his expectations.

Zheng Hong frowned.

"Then you..."

"That's why I need Guojin Capital."

Shen Yan looked directly into his eyes.

"What I need is not a simple financial investment."

"I need a strategic ally who can bet the next ten years with me."

"Guojin Capital invests money, invests resources."

"My team provides the technology, provides the future."

"Together, we will personally remove the Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all technology companies in our country."

Zheng Hong fell silent.

Shen Yan's words carried an irresistible magic.

He wasn't begging for investment; he was issuing an invitation.

An invitation for Guojin Capital to board his massive ship, destined to make history as it sailed toward the unknown deep sea.

"I need a valuation."

Zheng Hong's voice became hoarse.

"Thirty billion."

Shen Yan uttered a number.

Zheng Hong's pupils contracted sharply.

Thirty billion?

A company that had just turned profitable, whose core project was still on a PPT, valued at thirty billion?

This was simply insane.

"Mr. Shen, this figure..."

"Mr. Zheng."

Shen Yan interrupted him.

"What you should be assessing is not the current value of my company."

"But the value of the 'Dawn' project after it succeeds."

"Think about it, what is a completely new computing system, possessing independent intellectual property rights and unconstrained by anyone, worth?"

"It can shift the entire landscape of the information industry."

"Thirty billion buys a ticket to define the next era."

"Is that expensive?"

The office was dead silent.

Zheng Hong's breathing grew heavy.

He felt his blood burning.

Reason told him the risk was too great.

But a voice in the deepest corner of his heart was screaming wildly.

Take a gamble!

Follow this young man and take a gamble!

After a long pause,

He slowly nodded.

"Five billion, I require twenty percent equity."

This was his bottom line.

"Deal."

Shen Yan's reply came without a hint of hesitation.

He stood up and extended his hand to Zheng Hong again.

"Mr. Zheng, welcome aboard."

Zheng Hong shook his hand, gripping it tightly.

"Mr. Shen, I hope neither of us has misjudged."

After seeing Zheng Hong out, Shen Yan took no rest.

He walked straight to the company's largest conference room.

He pushed the door open.

It was already full of people.

Chen Guangke, Wu Ya, and the directors of every department—dozens of core executives—were all present.

Everyone's gaze was focused on him.

Mixed with curiosity, excitement, and a touch of nervousness.

They had all watched yesterday's summit via livestream.

That feeling of vindication made everyone's blood boil.

They knew the boss was about to announce something big today.

Shen Yan walked to the head seat, placed both hands on the conference table, and scanned every face.

"Everyone."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly to everyone's ears.

"Just now, I secured five billion in Series A funding for the company."

Buzz!

A wave of suppressed gasps rose in the conference room.

Five billion!

This number exceeded everyone's imagination.

Chen Guangke slapped his thigh hard, his face showing undisguised ecstasy.

"Damn! Yan Zi, you're incredible!"

Excitement also shone in Wu Ya's eyes.

Shen Yan raised his hand and gently pressed down.

The room instantly quieted.

"Money is just the first step."

"Starting today, the company will enter a phase of secondary entrepreneurship."

"Our strategy will revolve around two core projects."

He turned and wrote two words on the whiteboard behind him.

[janus]

[Dawn]

"The janus Project is something everyone is familiar with. It is our company's present, our source of profit, and the foundation upon which we stand firm."

"Wu Ya."

He called her name.

"Present!"

Wu Ya immediately stood up, posture rigid and straight.

"I announce that effective immediately, the 'janus Business Unit' is established, and you will serve as its President."

"You have only one task: Make money."

"I want you to saturate the domestic markets of intelligent security, smart cities, and financial risk control with the commercial API for janus AI within six months."
