Chapter 0907: Are You Crazy?

"It's not about taking the bait, but they are ambitious people, so naturally they can walk with me." Zhao Fusheng said calmly.

For him, weaving a network of personal connections was an important part of starting his career.

A single tree does not make a forest. Zhao Fusheng didn't think that relying on his foresight alone would allow him to conquer the world; if that were the case, he wouldn't be human, he'd be a god.

This world has never been fair. How we like the world means nothing to it. It's just that humans are good at comforting themselves with beautiful words and definitions, making people feel that the world seems beautiful.

But in fact, the real world is cold and cruel.

"So you mean to make a move on Huayi?" Zheng Yao frowned slightly, asking Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng was startled, then shook his head: "Neither you nor I understand the film and television industry, and our connections are insufficient. Besides, even if we wanted to acquire it, not to mention whether we have that much money, the Wang brothers might not be willing to sell."

"Then what do you want to do?" Zheng Yao was puzzled, unable to understand the reason for Zhao Fusheng's actions.

Zhao Fusheng smiled slightly: "It's nothing really, I just think Huayi has a bright future and plan to set up a move."

Huh?

Zheng Yao was baffled by his words, looking at Zhao Fusheng with confusion. Clearly, Zhao Fusheng's actions were beyond her understanding.

Zhao Fusheng shrugged and didn't explain further. Some words, if said too much, become meaningless. Facts speak louder than words; nothing proves the truth better than facts.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late."

Just as Zheng Yao was about to speak again, the door to the private room opened, and Wang Zhonglei walked in with a smile, apologizing repeatedly as he entered.

"It's okay, we just arrived too." Zhao Fusheng smiled.

"Oh, President Zheng is here too." Wang Zhonglei noticed Zhao Fusheng's words and then saw Zheng Yao. He exchanged a glance with his brother Wang Zhongjun; both were surprised, not understanding why Zheng Yao was there.

They had a deep impression of this woman, knowing that Zheng Yao was Zhao Fusheng's college counselor and had co-founded Future Advertising with him.

But when did their relationship become close enough for her to appear at this dinner?

"Well, I'm just here as a guest today." Zheng Yao was very calm, smiling gracefully as she explained her purpose.

"A guest?"

The Wang brothers exchanged looks, clearly not understanding Zheng Yao's meaning.

Zhao Fusheng chuckled: "Let's sit down first, eat slowly, and chat slowly."

Although Wang Zhongjun was the host, Zhao Fusheng was quite skilled at turning the tables.

Since he said so, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei had no choice but to set aside their doubts and sit down.

The waitress soon began serving dishes. It must be said that private kitchens could thrive in the capital for a reason; at the very least, the food tasted better than ordinary restaurants outside.

Especially for foodies, such places were undoubtedly like scenic spots.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, everyone had eaten their fill. Although Zhao Fusheng hadn't touched a drop of alcohol, Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun had drunk quite a bit with Zheng Yao.

"Fusheng, come, let me toast you." Wang Zhonglei was the first to speak to Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng smiled, picking up the juice in front of him: "What for?"

A toast always needed a reason.

"I looked into Shengda Technology. It turns out the hottest game right now, 'Legend,' is theirs. You're amazing, your vision is spot on!" Wang Zhonglei raised his glass, full of admiration.

He meant it. After seeing the investigation report on Shengda Technology's performance over the past year, Wang Zhonglei was utterly impressed by Zhao Fusheng's investment acumen.

They say gold will shine eventually, but the problem is that not everyone has the ability to find that grain of gold among thousands of grains of sand.

Shengda Technology was on the verge of bankruptcy, about to become a thing of the past like most internet companies that fizzled out during the dot-com bubble. Under those circumstances, Zhao Fusheng dared to invest, which itself required courage.

Zhao Fusheng chuckled: "President Wang, you flatter me. To be honest, I had no choice at the time. I had already invested some money earlier, and then President Chen found me and asked if I was interested. I thought the money I'd already put in couldn't go to waste, so I gritted my teeth and invested."

Humility makes one progress; Zhao Fusheng understood this principle well.

Moreover, he believed that the more he said this, the more profound he would appear in the eyes of the Wang brothers.

Sure enough, upon hearing Zhao Fusheng's words, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei exchanged glances and both laughed.

"Now 'Legend' is hugely popular nationwide. What are your plans for the next step?" Wang Zhongjun asked.

Among the Wang brothers, the elder Wang Zhongjun was introverted, while the younger Wang Zhonglei was outgoing. Often, Wang Zhonglei handled external communications, but the final decision-maker was always Wang Zhongjun.

Hearing Wang Zhongjun's words, a smile appeared on Zhao Fusheng's lips: "I want to invest in Huayi Brothers."

"What?"

Hearing this, both Wang brothers were stunned. Even Zheng Yao, who was eating, stopped her movements and looked up at Zhao Fusheng, because she too had never expected that Zhao Fusheng's target was Huayi Brothers.

"Hahaha..." After a long pause, Wang Zhongjun suddenly laughed, his eyes fixed on Zhao Fusheng's face, and said word by word: "Fusheng, you're not joking with me, are you?"

In his view, if Zhao Fusheng hadn't been drinking, he would have thought Zhao Fusheng was talking drunk.

In 1994, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei founded Huayi Brothers Advertising Company, then began investing in TV dramas. In 1998, they officially entered the film industry. In 2000, they established Huayi Brothers Taihe Co., Ltd. Last year, they officially founded Huayi Brothers Taihe Cultural Brokerage Company, with Wang Zhongjun as chairman.

Not to mention anything else, in the private film and television sector, Wang Zhongjun believed that Huayi had the best development prospects. Despite various conflicts with Wang Jinghua, in his view, Huayi's future was bright.

In short, Huayi Brothers was a company with great prospects.

And now, Zhao Fusheng said he wanted to invest in Huayi. Was he crazy?
