Imagine this:

In 2024, on a sunny and breezy afternoon, inside the Manus office in Singapore,

Founder Xiao Hong was staring at the acquisition offer from Byte—just 30 million USD!

He chuckled to himself, thinking, "They think they can buy my AI empire with this little money? Dream on!"

So, he decisively declined.

And the result?

Just one year later, Meta in Silicon Valley stepped in and spent approximately 2.5 billion USD to acquire it.

(Valuation skyrocketed over 80 times!)
