I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

He kicked over two empires that belonged to himself!

He sold Summit Ventures and took only Julia Lambert with him.

He forced Chris Owen to give in, gifting the Summit Research Institute, which he had poured his heart and soul into and which was about to reap huge profits and make him the richest man in human history, to the Whale Group.

The exchange condition was the patent rights to the nine major technologies.

It’s unclear who won or lost, but Chris Owen genuinely didn’t want to agree, yet he was forced by Harrison Clark threatening to share the patents freely with all of humanity.

Harrison Clark held a controlling 67% stake in the patent-controlling Summit Research Institute.

Unable to resist, Chris Owen, who had been successful in the business world for decades, could only accept the well-equipped and still promising research institute and incorporate it into the Bluewave Center, greatly enhancing the strength of the Whale Group and thwarting his dreams of letting his useless son Ward Owen take control of the trillion-dollar company.

Old Owen really didn’t dare to hand over such a major historical responsibility to his son who only wanted to sing, as it would surely crush the fatty.

On the surface, Chris Owen seemed to have struck it rich, but everyone knew he wasn’t happy about it.

After losing Harrison Clark, a towering tree in the field of science, anyone would have been hurt.

Harrison Clark then sold all his shares in Summit Technology, completing a forced cash-out, and his personal assets plummeted from the peak value of nearly two hundred billion dollars to one hundred billion.

Harrison Clark also drove away Rainer, who couldn’t understand his actions.

Subsequently, Harrison Clark began sharing the nine major technologies with the world at extremely low prices, almost for free.

People thought he had gone mad, as he was destroying his trillion-dollar empire with his own hands.

Everyone wanted to know why, but it wasn’t until decades later that some truth was glimpsed in Rainer’s memoirs.

In Rainer’s memoirs, he wrote:

“I remember it was a night with a bright moon hanging high, and the osmanthus trees in his villa were in full bloom. He stood under the pavilion with his hands behind his back. I thought he called me over to discuss the next strategy for the research institute.”

“He actually told me…”

“After he finished speaking, my feelings could not calm down for a long time. I asked him why. Did I do something wrong? If you’re not satisfied with my work, I can leave without complaint. But please don’t treat your achievements lightly.”

“He laughed. He asked me if I remembered what he had said. That was on the third day after he published ‘The Madman’s Conjectures Collection.’ I went to see him with a pilgrim’s mindset, wanting to chat with him about this great masterpiece. He didn’t chat, and I didn’t understand. That’s what he said when I asked why.”

“He said at the time, ‘It’s the work I’ve already completed, so I should let it go. I have to look forward. How much time does a person have in their life to spend? Lying in the past achievements will only make one rot and emit a disgusting stench.’

“I said the book was published the day before yesterday. How can it be a past achievement?”

“He said again, ‘Yes, but what of it? Wasn’t ten years ago the past? Wasn’t the day before yesterday the past? The moment I stopped writing, it became the past.’

“I finally fully understood his mindset. That day, I bowed deeply to him and then turned and left. That conversation determined what kind of person I would be in the second half of my life. I didn’t let him down.”

In 2035, Harrison Clark, with a hundred billion dollars in assets, embarked on his second entrepreneurial journey.

He appointed Julia Lambert as CEO and gathered the world’s best talent to establish the Summit High-tech Investment Group.

He began to sponsor innovative projects wildly across the globe.

Even if the project had only a rough concept, as long as he thought it was feasible, he would not hesitate to invest a large amount of money to help people realize their dreams, or fail in the pursuit of their dreams.

He became the most popular investor in the global scientific field. Many scholars who were trapped in the conventional work of universities and research institutions came to him with their unconventional ideas and received his funding.

Harrison Clark’s investment had no discernible pattern and the industries he favored had a broad range with no apparent connection.

Biology, computer science, artificial intelligence, materials, energy, medical, environmental protection, automotive…

He was involved in at least a hundred projects in more than ten major categories within a year, and he said he would invest in even more projects in the coming years.

Many people thought that Harrison Clark would lose everything and rapidly deplete the hundred billion dollars.

However, against all expectations, his assets had actually increased to two hundred and forty billion dollars by 2040, a more than a twofold increase in five years.

Most of those seemingly absurd projects he invested in had succeeded!

And then… he transformed once again!

With a massive capital base of over two hundred billion dollars, he decisively and forcefully turned his full attention to the aerospace industry.

This time, he directly acquired almost all private aerospace companies and research institutes in China, Europe, and the United States, and brought British Aerospace Group, European Aerospace, and NASA into his camp.

How did he do it?

Money!

He spent a crazy amount of money!

It doesn’t matter what you want to research, as long as it’s helpful for the development of the aerospace industry, I’ll invest money in it.

You just provide the personnel, and I’ll cover your personnel costs, research expenses, and everything else, and I’ll share the results you make with my money for your own use!
