Chapter 884: Chapter 533: Technology Alliance, Dual Empires_1
At the end of 2021, after Across the Starry Sky was released and achieved explosive box office results, Harrison Clark reconfigured the capital allocation of Summit Ventures Group.
Summit Research Institute took the lead in integrating multiple subsidiaries, including Summit Biodical, Summit Intelligence Core, Intelligent, Software, Energy, Organic Materials, Alloy Materials, Heavy Industries, as well as more joint-stock enterprises that exchanged shares for raw material sales quotas and technology, into Summit Ventures.
Under the guidance of the Millennium Plan, Harrison Clark not only had no plans to sell the companies but also wanted to strengthen his control.
The longer he could live, the longer he wanted to keep the main body of the company in his hands.
Furthermore, the cultural empire of Summit Ventures, led mainly by entertainnt, was further refined, including subsidiaries such as Summit Ventures, Brokering, Music, Film, Gaming, Animation, and Starlight Studio.
Many secondary subsidiaries will be established under each parent company according to demand.
...
By 2025, the market value of Summit Ventures had officially reached 28 billion US dollars, 2.2 tis the previous value.
Compared to other century-old cultural conglorates, Harrison Clark’s entertainnt empire took only five years to reach a market value of nearly 30 billion US dollars.
So might find this incredible and unreasonable.
But first of all, the increasing developnt of information technology leads to a faster pace in everything.
For example, the brand influence that so century-old brands can only accumulate little by little in the twenty-first century may only take two years, or even less.
Secondly, look at what he has done in these five years.
Summit Music has produced a total of 78 albums, including 560 different styles of music works, ranging from pop songs to instruntal music, as well as classical symphonies.
People no longer call him a genius, as it seems that everything he does is taken for granted.
Beyond conventional online music platform dividends, the previously unsalable offline platform CD sales also achieved impressive results.
Because Harrison Clark improved the CD material, producing a collector’s edition that can allegedly be preserved for a thousand years. The collector’s edition is expensive, but it has excellent commorative value. Consurs are very willing to pay for it.
Other more reasonably priced peripheral products also have high sales.
In addition, there are many production units at ho and abroad that need to use Summit Music lodies.
Each authorization is a source of inco.
Under the surveillance of Harrison Clark’s pseudo-artificial intelligence big data platform, Avril Green from the cultural managent departnt, and the increasingly powerful dostic authorities, the global level of intellectual property protection has instantly been elevated to a level that would have taken a century to reach originally.
anwhile, Harrison Clark has sold more than 2,000 different styles of songs in total.
With Summit Music’s current dominance, they retain subsequent dividends for all the songs they sell.
With such a cash cow in hand, it’s because his desire for control is too strong that he has only sold a small portion of Summit Ventures’s shares and has never allowed this industry related to spiritual civilization construction to go public. Otherwise, the stock market value of Summit Music alone would have reached 30 billion.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Summit Film is even more of a money-making machine.
Over these five years, the director group led by Jas Diaz has accumulated a total of 25 films for Harrison Clark.
In addition to the Across the Starry Sky and Immortal Galaxy series, Harrison Clark has introduced a new Millennium Series, with Leonard Lewis improving the script. Then, he personally took charge as executive producer and ford a luxury team to start producing the Compound Eye Crisis film series in advance.
Neil Blomkamp also joined Summit Film three years ahead of schedule.
Neil’s Resurrection of a Million Years Later was released in mid-2025 and achieved an impressive box office of over 100 million on its first day, totaling 4.2 billion in box office.
Each successful film is a new cultural intellectual property.
Moreover, the value of these IPs is not just about money; the spiritual power within the films will continue to be passed on powerfully.
In just five years, Summit Ventures has beco a huge empire, dominating people’s spiritual and cultural lives during their leisure ti.
In the past, no matter how much money Harrison Clark had, he would have never been able to achieve such an amazing film production speed.
For example, it took him 18 years to complete a total of 48 films in the Eighth Tiline.
The current change is due to the innovation of the Self-Dostication Rendering Engine and the further advancent of computer performance.
In reality, the true value of Summit Ventures should not be limited to 28 billion US dollars.
Ultimately, what limited the overall value of the entertainnt conglorate was not only Harrison Clark’s refusal to go public but also the long-term investnt in Summit Gas without any inco yet.
As Harrison Clark continued to invest, Summit Gas had burned a total of 20 billion yuan in the past five years.
The ga company’s headquarters turned into a five-story building in the TM Building, employing over 4,000 people.
He spent three years building the largest ga developnt team in history, which once caused worldwide amazent.Not only gars, but even ordinary people who don’t play gas were extrely curious about what this so-called epoch-making “ga” could be.
Unexpectedly, people had been waiting for two years and still hadn’t seen any signs of it.
Summit Gas kept recruiting, but there seed to be no actual product.
Nobody could even guess what he was trying to make.
Sohow, Harrison Clark’s claim of wanting to create a holographic ga had leaked out.
Many people couldn’t help but laugh at the idea.
It seed too ambitious, like sothing out of a science fiction novel.
But he seed so stubborn and unreceptive to others’ advice. Instead of backing down, he argued that he hadn’t invested enough ti and resources, which was why his progress had been slow and laughed at. He then announced that starting next year, his annual budget for Summit Gas would be doubled.
From then on, the value of the entertainnt group began to dive.
People outside of the industry didn’t know that the ga was just one part of his grand plan.
What he wanted was not just a breakthrough that would lead to greater things but an overall push forward in every aspect of society—both visible and invisible.
Harrison Clark didn’t bother to explain.
High stock valuations were just illusory numbers, after all.
He didn’t care.
Those who really wanted his shares would know how much to pay for them.
anwhile, his business empire was also involved in another area that influenced the material culture of the era.
In these five years, the developnt speed of Summit Ventures had improved compared to the previous tiline.
In the previous tiline, the Summit Research Institute produced a mature new technology every four months on average.
Now, they developed new technology every two months.
The reason for this was the 21st Century Human Technology Developnt Direction Exploration Summit that Harrison Clark had organized.
After the conference, 400 academic talents from the 800 participants decisively joined his team, greatly increasing the expansion speed of the Summit Research Institute.
By 2025, Harrison Clark had completed the initial transfer of nine technologies, including room-temperature superconductivity and ultra-high conversion rate solar energy.
He also completed the second batch of twelve new technologies, including biointelligence, carbon monolithic chips, decay-free batteries, the first true quantum computer, ultra-tough pliable tals, and more.
In addition, they had widely used 1nm process silicon chips and developed five types of drugs targeting different terminal diseases, which were already in clinical trials.
In the eighth tiline, he took 15 years to accomplish these feats, while in the ninth tiline, it took almost ten years.
But this ti, with his personal involvent in “god-making” and revealing so secrets in the scientific community, it took him only five years.
He hadn’t expected this himself.
It taught him a lesson.
He shouldn’t be arrogant enough to judge humanity’s limits.
Each ti he thought he had squeezed out the limits of human potential, he would see new possibilities again.
It was the sa in the past and the present.
It applied to others as well as himself.
…
In the winter of 2025, Harrison Clark squatted alone in front of Moor Clark’s tombstone.
In his life, he had few opportunities to fulfill his filial duties while his grandfather was alive, and he never got the chance to et his parents at all.
This was his greatest regret.
He used to be too busy chasing the illusory aspects of life and had little ti to have a real conversation with his grandfather. He always thought that once he settled everything, he would take on more responsibilities for his family.
But now, after giving up on returning and starting to live a real life again, and experiencing the joys and sorrows of the human world, his emotions had beco more acute and genuine.
