Chapter 1478: A Man Must Have Dreams

In fact, the inspection of Future Technology was simpler than that of Future Film and Television.

At Future Film and Television, Zhao Fusheng and Zheng Yao at least listened to reports from company executives, but at Future Technology, Zhao Fusheng had no intention of hearing any reports.

After learning about the development of *World of Warcraft* and checking on the progress of game development, Zhao Fusheng and Zheng Yao spent less than an hour before leaving Future Technology.

"What's wrong? Is there something you're not satisfied with?"

Zheng Yao asked Zhao Fusheng curiously.

She had originally thought Zhao Fusheng would care a lot about Future Technology, given that the agency rights for *World of Warcraft* alone earned the company over fifty million US dollars in profit each year.

Although recently, as the agency period was about to expire, negotiations over the rights had not been going well, that wasn't the tech company's fault—Blizzard was jacking up the price, and there was little they could do.

As for the slow progress in game development, the level of domestic game development was what it was; for years, no good games had emerged, and programmers could only look to foreign peers for reference. Even Zheng Yao, an outsider, could understand the slow pace.

Could it be that Zhao Fusheng was unhappy?

Hearing Zheng Yao's question, Zhao Fusheng laughed and shook his head: "It's not as exaggerated as you think. Don't misunderstand."

Then he explained: "I'm not dissatisfied; I just have no interest in continuing the tour. You have to understand, Future Technology isn't focused on the present, but on the future..."

The future?

The future?

Zheng Yao was stunned, looking at Zhao Fusheng in surprise. Clearly, she hadn't expected his expectations for Future Technology to be so high.

She had known before that Zhao Fusheng valued Future Technology and always granted its project funding requests without hesitation, but now she saw it was indeed true.

"Don't doubt it." Zhao Fusheng glanced at Zheng Yao and said with a smile: "Believe me, in ten years, the most eye-catching sector in the entire domestic economy will definitely be the internet industry."

Zheng Yao shrugged, noncommittal to Zhao Fusheng's words.

She admitted that Future Technology had great development prospects, but in her view, the company with the fastest profit growth in the Future Group would undoubtedly be Future Advertising or Future Film and Television.

Future Investment was excluded because it was about investing, betting on an uncertain future.

Zhao Fusheng knew Zheng Yao wasn't entirely convinced by his words, but this was something he had personally experienced. Some things didn't need words to explain, because history would prove everything.

"Let's go, to Future Advertising."

Zhao Fusheng spoke slowly, instructing Wu Sijie.

Wu Sijie quickly nodded.

The motorcade slowly started, heading for Future Advertising, the core subsidiary of the Future Group.

...

...

The inspection at Future Advertising took a bit longer.

As the subsidiary where the Future Group first started, there was simply too much to learn about.

Moreover, Zhao Fusheng was very familiar with this place; before the Future Group was established, he had been the planning director of Future Advertising.

He had only left later because the group company was formed and his identity could no longer be hidden.

Now, back at the company, Zhao Fusheng felt a lot of emotions.

"We have now become the top advertising company in the northern region, with a market share..." After hearing the report from Future Advertising, Zhao Fusheng was quite satisfied.

Unlike Future Technology, which needed time, and Future Film and Television, which needed capital, Future Advertising's development was already on track.

After all, Future Advertising had been established longer, and the timing of its development was better. Step by step, it had become a behemoth that could not be easily shaken.

Unless the Future Group encountered an insurmountable crisis, Future Advertising's development would only get better.

"The founding of Future Advertising probably dates back to when President Zheng and I started an advertising studio in Ninghai."

Sitting on the podium, Zhao Fusheng spoke freely to the employees below: "At that time, we were few. I was the ad planner, President Zheng was responsible for getting orders. Now, President Bai, who handles group finances, was in charge of bookkeeping. President Qin, who manages the Northeast business, hadn't graduated yet and ran errands, recruiting people at our school. Many of you here probably joined the company that way."

"That's right."

"Yeah, back then Old Qin talked a big game, getting us to intern..."

Many people in the audience began to recall how they had first joined Future Advertising.

There are two kinds of memories, especially for entrepreneurs: memories after success and memories after failure.

For example, a person who goes from being a penniless pauper to a high-level white-collar worker earning a million a year will naturally have endless emotions when reminiscing.

The latter, a person who fails in business, when recalling their entrepreneurial experience, is left with nothing but regret.

Those sitting here today were undoubtedly all successful.

"To this day, Future Advertising's development has exceeded my expectations," Zhao Fusheng said sincerely. "I miss the days when I worked with everyone, and I hope that in the future, none of you will let me down and will continue to develop Future Advertising even better!"

Applause rang out.

Everyone understood that the chairman's words today formally established Future Advertising's position within the entire group.

"The board is considering that the group's subsidiaries may in the future operate on a self-financing basis and will no longer restrict them from going public." Zhao Fusheng then dropped another bombshell, instantly throwing the entire Future Advertising meeting room into chaos.

Going public?

Self-financing?

Everyone knew what this meant. No one sitting here was stupid; to put it bluntly, they wanted the company to go public and develop more smoothly even more than Zhao Fusheng did.

Because Zhao Fusheng had other businesses, while everything they had was tied to Future Advertising.

And if Future Advertising really could go public, as company veterans, these people would gain much more than they currently had.

It was like a bait placed before them; even if they knew the chances were slim, no one could refuse.

The reason was simple: everyone had ambition.

Everyone hoped to live a better life than they did now.
