Chapter 1252 Aircraft Carrier vs. Aircraft Carrier
As the downpour subsided, the Ruixing Company headquarters building stood like a drawn sword, pointing directly at the still gloomy sky.

Inside the rooftop circular conference room, the air was so heavy it seemed you could wring water out of it. Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the city skyline appeared somewhat blurred in the post-rain mist.

Inside the conference room, the soft yet bright lighting illuminated every face surrounding the huge light-colored wooden conference table.

Huang Jiacai still chaired the meeting, but the number of attendees had increased significantly. Among them were Ning Qi, president of Anning Group; Wang Changxin of Changxin Mining; Mr. Guo Jingyao from Southeast Asia; Mr. Wang, general manager of Jiteng Technology, the largest precision instrument manufacturer in China; Mr. Li, general manager of Damei Biochemical, a biochemical reagent manufacturer; and Mr. Zhang, a research software supplier…

Huang Jiacai stood before the main seat, not sitting down, but resting his hands on the smooth tabletop. His face looked slightly tired, but his eyes were calm and sharp. Without any opening remarks, he picked up the remote control and turned on the giant screen that occupied the entire wall behind him.

In an instant, an extremely complex "Breaking the Wall Plan and International Blockade Situation Map," with red and blue lines interwoven like a battlefield, came into everyone's view.

The red arrows represent the blockades, supply disruptions, and patent barriers imposed by international giants. Like ferocious venomous snakes, they coil and contract, tightly gripping the blue area in the center that represents the "breaking the barrier" alliance. Under this heavy siege, the blue area appears to be in grave danger, with several key nodes even flashing glaring red alarm lights.

"Gentlemen," Huang Jiacai's voice was low and slightly hoarse, "the situation is ten times worse than we anticipated a week ago!" His laser pointer, like a red-hot needle, pierced the flashing red dots on the image.

"The situation is critical, but there is still hope." Huang Jiacai's voice suddenly rose, taking on a metallic quality. "Professor Yang Ping's theoretical breakthrough is the spark of our original innovation, a ignition point! We formed this alliance because our own companies are unwilling to forever grovel for money, unwilling to have their lifeline held by others..." A red dot swept across the red blocks representing sanctions, supply cuts, and technological barriers imposed by international giants. "Now it's a full-scale escalation of the soft blockade! It's a brutal strangulation with the true colors revealed! What does this mean? It means we've hurt them! We've hit their Achilles' heel!"

The red dot of the laser pointer suddenly swept across a huge red arc of blockade. "A comprehensive strangulation! It's not just about blocking Professor Yangping's neck, it's about cutting off the path for our entire industry to break through! This has long surpassed the rules of ordinary business competition," his voice suddenly rose, like a heavy hammer striking everyone's heart, "This is a battle for survival! One step forward, and the world is yours; one step back, and you're in an abyss!"

After he finished speaking, the conference room fell silent, with only heavy breathing and the soft rustling of papers turning.

Just then, a clear and cold voice, like the gentle tapping of jade, broke the deathly silence.

"Mr. Huang's analysis is completely correct."

All eyes instantly focused on the source of the sound—a young woman sitting not far to Huang Jiacai's left. She was Ning Qi, the president of Anning Group, which controlled assets worth trillions.

She wore a perfectly tailored pearl white suit, her face was beautiful, but what was even more striking were her eyes—calm and deep. At just over thirty years old, she was in charge of such a business empire. Her vision, courage, and skill were legendary in the industry.

Ning Qi subtly adjusted the microphone in front of her, her movements elegant and composed, creating a delicate contrast with the tense atmosphere. "The Anning Group Strategic Investment Committee, over the past 72 hours, has mobilized all available global analytical resources to conduct a top-level stress assessment of the 'Breaking the Barrier' plan, especially Professor Yang Ping's theoretical path." Her speech was steady, each word crystal clear. "The conclusion is: Professor Yang Ping's theory is not only disruptive, but its potential commercial value and ability to reshape the future industrial landscape are immeasurable. This is a future track we must seize at all costs."

Her gaze swept across the crowd, finally settling on Huang Jiacai's face. Her tone became more serious: "If we abandon this path today because of a few high-end instruments that are remotely locked, a few core reagents that have been suddenly cut off from supply, and a few sets of design software that cannot be updated, it will not only be a failure of China's biopharmaceutical industry, but also a collective strategic misjudgment by every entrepreneur and scientist present here. It will be an insult to our own wisdom and courage!"

She paused slightly, allowing the weight of her words to settle, before announcing, word by word, "Therefore, supporting 'Breaking Down Barriers' is not merely out of sentiment or morality for Anning; it is the most rational strategic choice that best aligns with long-term business interests! Anning Group is determined to invest its full resources! We will provide money and resources without reservation!"

"However, relying on our loose alliance to fight against multinational giants is tantamount to assembling small boats to fight against an aircraft carrier battle group armed to the teeth."

"What we need to do now is to connect into a close community and also become an aircraft carrier battle group."

Ning Qi's words, like a ray of light, instilled confidence and set the tone for the meeting—this was not a plea for aid, but a strategic alliance between powerful individuals.

"Hahaha! Great! President Ning truly lives up to her reputation as a heroine; those words are so straightforward and powerful!"

A booming voice, like a resounding bell, suddenly rang out, carrying a rugged, untamed spirit. The speaker was Wang Changxin, the owner of Changxin Mining. He was a burly man, dressed casually yet meticulously in a dark shirt, sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing his muscular physique and an expensive sports watch. His face was ruddy, his voice booming, and his laughter seemed capable of vibrating glass. His mining empire spanned Africa and Australia, renowned for its abundant capital and ruthless, aggressive style.

Wang Changxin slammed his hand on the table, making the water in several glasses slosh around. "I've dealt with warlords in the African rainforest, fought mining giants for veins in the Australian desert, what haven't I seen? So what if I'm being held hostage? Damn it, I've mined for half my life, earning hard-earned money buried underground, but I also know that a man, a company, a country can't always kneel, can't always have someone choking them!"

He glared at Huang Jiacai, his eyes wide. "President Huang! Tell me straight, what's the most needed thing right now? Is it money?" He held up five thick, carrot-like fingers. "Fifty billion! RMB! Phase one! I, Wang Changxin, will make the decision right here today! Changxin Mining, we're in! Consider it my contribution to our future pharmaceutical industry, digging the first shovel of earth!"

This resounding promise, imbued with a strong sense of brotherhood, was more inspiring than any meticulously crafted business plan. A murmur of surprise and whispers filled the conference room.

"Mr. Wang is quick-witted, outspoken, and incredibly righteous—truly admirable," a gentle yet authoritative voice interjected. The speaker was Guo Jingyao, a wealthy overseas Chinese businessman from Southeast Asia, dressed in a dark blue Chinese-style jacket. He was around sixty years old, with slightly graying temples, a refined face, and a calm, composed demeanor—a stark contrast to Wang Changxin's unrestrained nature.

"The Guo family has been living overseas for three generations," Guo Jingyao said calmly, with a sense of steadiness born of experience. "Having done business in Southeast Asia, Europe, and North America for many years, we have come to deeply understand that being dependent on others for key technologies is like handing over the key to your own house to a stranger. Things may be peaceful under normal circumstances, but once the situation changes drastically, it becomes a matter of life and death. Technology knows no borders, but the lifeline of technology does have borders, and it is fundamental to the survival and development of the Chinese people."

He looked at Huang Jiacai and Ning Qi with sincere eyes: "President Huang, President Ning, and all colleagues. My Guo family is not very capable, but we have been operating overseas for many years and have some modest strength. In terms of funding, we will naturally share the burden with Boss Wang and President Ning. In addition, the Guo family's logistics channels in Southeast Asia, some R&D cooperation resources in Europe, and... our network of contacts in some places can all be opened to the alliance for your use. In this battle, I, Guo, am willing to follow your lead and do my best."

Guo Jingyao's words were like a warm current, bringing not only funds, but also valuable international perspectives and unfathomable overseas resources, greatly expanding the alliance's boundaries.

At this moment, Chen Dong, the representative of Huaxin International, adjusted his glasses. This top expert in the chip industry spoke calmly: "Mr. Huang, everyone. Huaxin does face difficulties in high-end processes, but we have accumulated certain expertise in special chips, sensor chips, and supporting computing power. Biomedical research and development cannot be separated from massive amounts of data and complex calculations. We can immediately establish a special team to customize and optimize computing power solutions and dedicated chips for the 'Breaking the Barrier' plan to ensure that data processing is not hindered. Huaxin can bear most of the R&D investment in this area."

Zhao Ming of Kangzheng Pharmaceutical then spoke, highlighting his control over thousands of pharmacies and hospitals nationwide: "We at Kangzheng may not be able to boast about anything else, but our offline channels are readily available. Once the alliance releases a product, even an experimental one, we can establish 'barrier-breaking zones' in all our stores and partner hospitals to prioritize its promotion and gather firsthand feedback. We'll be the pioneers in the market!"

Sun Hao from Jingyi Technology spoke softly, but with the dedication of a technical professional: "Jingyi has been working on optical lenses and precision machinery for twenty years. We wouldn't dare say our precision is world-class, but we are confident in solving the 'having or not having' problem! Give us the list of microscope lenses and testing modules you need, and we'll work together to overcome the challenges!"

Wu Tianyou, a well-known venture capital fund partner, cleared his throat: "Our fund has invested in hundreds of hard technology companies, many of which are 'hidden champions' in the fields of materials, algorithms, and sensors. I suggest that we immediately establish an 'alliance potential company pool,' with us responsible for screening and introducing companies to quickly fill the gaps in the industry chain. Funding is not a problem; we can co-lead investments to ensure sufficient resources!"

The statements from these industry leaders acted like massive pillars, instantly bolstering the crumbling dome of conviction. The atmosphere in the hall noticeably livened up, with more and more people sitting up straight and their eyes shining.

The core members of the alliance could no longer contain themselves; their pent-up emotions and fighting spirit surged forth. Mr. Wang, the CEO of Kiteng Technology, his cheeks flushed with excitement: "Mr. Huang! Everyone! We at Kiteng may not be able to boast about much else, but we do have some resources in research equipment! We are willing to go all out."

Li, the general manager of Damei Biotechnology, said firmly: "From this moment on, our reagent R&D platform and pilot production line are completely open to all allies, sharing data and prioritizing supply! If they won't sell, we'll make it ourselves! I refuse to believe that we have to eat hairy pork just because we don't have Zhang the butcher!"

Mr. Zhang, the general manager of Xunke Software, slapped his thigh hard: "Damn it, they think they can bully us because we don't have software? My team has been working overnight to dismantle their architecture! We have our own advantages in algorithms! Mr. Huang, give us time, give us support, and we will definitely develop our own, better research software! Even if we have to crack this bone, we will never let our brothers fight empty-handed!"

"Yes! Let's just do it!"

"Although our company is not large, we have exclusive technology in polymer filtration membranes, which we are willing to provide to the alliance for testing free of charge!"

"Count me in!"

The crowd was filled with fervor, and calls to join the fight rose and fell. The previous oppressive atmosphere and anxiety were completely dispelled by this surging fighting spirit. The meeting room was no longer filled with individualistic company representatives, but with a group of comrades-in-arms about to head to the same battlefield.

Debates, additions, commitments... sparks of thought collided fiercely, and resource barriers were quickly broken down in the face of a common enemy.

Looking at everything before him, Huang Jiacai felt a surge of emotion welling up inside him, almost spilling over his eyes. He forced down his turbulent emotions, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Good! Good! With everyone working together, what is there to fear in breaking through this barrier!"

He turned to the whiteboard behind him and began to write with flowing strokes. Over the next few hours, a series of highly specific decision-making solutions, exceeding the capabilities of any single enterprise and truly reflecting the power of collaboration, gradually became clear and took shape amidst intense discussions:
The "Breaking Barriers Strategic Investment Alliance" was established: Ning Qi of Anning Group serves as Chairman, and Wang Changxin of Changxin Mining and Guo Jingyao of Nanyang Guo Family serve as Co-Chairmen. Together, they launched the "Breaking Barriers Industry Investment Fund," with an initial scale of up to 50 billion yuan. The fund adopts an extremely flexible and aggressive "risk-sharing, profit-sharing, and decision-making co-governance" mechanism, focusing entirely on investing in hard technology companies in key aspects of the "Breaking Barriers" plan. For projects they believe in, they dare to make heavy bets and bear high risks.

Launch a "wartime mechanism for collaborative efforts across the industrial chain": Using existing members of the Ruixing Alliance as the core framework, rapidly absorb and select domestic "hidden champions" and "potential stocks" in key optical components, special sensors, high-purity biological raw materials, and industrial software to join. Immediately establish an integrated online and offline platform for connecting "urgent needs lists" and "core capability lists," with strong financial support and technical guidance from the fund. Under strict confidentiality agreements, enforce core data sharing, joint R&D efforts, and absolute priority in procurement-level supply chain guarantees among alliance members. The goal is to form a highly autonomous, rapidly responsive, and internally circulating wartime industrial chain.

Implement the "Global Talent Recruitment Thunder Plan": Immediately establish a special task force led by Guo Jingyao's overseas team, supported by Anning International's HR department, and with the cooperation of Ruixing Technology experts. Utilize all legal and compliant channels to launch a large-scale yet precise and covert "talent recruitment" campaign globally, especially targeting top Chinese scientists and engineers who feel they have reached a plateau in the core R&D institutions of international giants or who yearn for their homeland. Not only will we offer compensation several times their current salaries, top-tier research start-up funding, and complete autonomy in team building, but we also promise to resolve all their concerns after returning to China, including their children's education, spouse's employment, and high-end medical care, creating a true "homecoming" project.

Building a "Shared Innovation Community of Industry, Academia, and Research": With Yang Ping's research group as the theoretical source and innovation brain, and all enterprises in the "Breaking Barriers" alliance as the backbone and testing ground for industrialization, joint innovation centers will be established with several top domestic universities and national key laboratories. This will no longer be a loose collaboration, but rather an exclusive strategic agreement, implementing a deeply binding model of two-way talent mobility, unconditional equipment sharing, joint ownership of intellectual property rights, and distribution of commercial benefits according to contribution, forming a true community of shared innovation destiny.

Establish a "Legal and Intellectual Property Iron Wall Fund": The alliance will jointly invest hundreds of millions of yuan to immediately hire top domestic and international law firms specializing in handling international commercial disputes and intellectual property litigation, forming a permanent legal protection fleet. This will not only provide the strongest legal support for alliance companies in dealing with patent lawsuits, commercial defamation, and Section 337 investigations inevitably initiated by international giants, but also proactively build the alliance's own impenetrable intellectual property moat and patent cross-licensing network, ensuring both effective defense and offensive capabilities.

When the final decision was made, the people in the meeting room, though looking tired, all had a gleam of excitement and determination in their eyes.

……

With the collaboration of prominent figures in the private sector, the overall picture has become much clearer.

These business tycoons have an astonishingly high decision-making efficiency.

The “Breaking Barriers Strategic Investment Alliance” quickly set up a temporary structure after the meeting. The first batch of huge funds from Anning, Changxin, Guojia and other companies in the alliance arrived in just one week, flowing into those eagerly awaiting innovative companies like rivers flowing into the sea.

Wang Changxin kept his word and transferred a large sum of money directly. He patted his chest and said to Huang Jiacai, "Brother Huang, don't worry! If you need more money, just ask! I, Old Wang, may not be good at anything else, but I can make money!"

Guo Jingyao then utilized his family's global network, and a series of hidden talent and channel information began to converge, greatly facilitating the "talent hunting" plan and the acquisition of overseas resources.

When Huang Jiacai received a call from Ning Qi at Ruixing headquarters saying that 50 billion yuan had been received and that the "Breaking the Barrier" Strategic Investment Alliance's first action plan and fund management measures had been drafted, even with his composure and foresight, he was shocked like never before.

After hanging up the phone, Huang Jiacai remained motionless for a long time. He walked to the window, looking at the bustling traffic below, his heart churning with turmoil.

He understood that from this moment on, the nature of the "Breaking the Barrier" plan had completely changed. It was no longer just a desperate battle for Ruixing and a group of allies, but carried the hopes of the entire nation to achieve self-reliance and control in the field of biomedicine and move towards world-class status.

He took a deep breath, a mixture of immense pressure, supreme glory, and burning fighting spirit surging within him.

Enterprises and enterprises, scientists and entrepreneurs, domestic markets and international perspectives... all forces that were once scattered due to systems, fields, and interests are now closely connected, gradually coalescing into a community of shared destiny that is interdependent and unbreakable.

Huang Jiacai stood by the window, his back straight and tall.

The metaphor of "small boats fighting against an aircraft carrier battle group" resurfaced in his mind. How weak it is for a loose alliance of enterprises to fight against multinational giants that have been cultivating their businesses for over a century, deeply intertwined with capital, and have already formed an ecological moat.

These international giants, combined with capital, academia, and other forces, have become true behemoths. Their attacks are never the actions of a single company, but rather the coordinated strangulation of a vast alliance of interests. Any challenger attempting to overtake them often ends up battered and bruised by their systemic advantages, either being acquired or forced to withdraw from the scene.

But now, it's different.

Huang Jiacai's battle is not a small boat fighting against an aircraft carrier, but an aircraft carrier against another aircraft carrier.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, golden sunlight peeked through the thick clouds on the horizon. Huang Jiacai felt a surge of confidence rising from the soles of his feet and coursing through his entire body.
