The summer breeze is warm and gentle, and the trees provide ample shade.
Many locals in the capital enjoy sitting under the shade of trees in their courtyards, drinking tea, playing chess, or reading newspapers.
Wang Ziqiang, who is in his fifties, is a computer science professor at Tsinghua University. During his holidays, he likes to lie in his courtyard house and read "Computer World".
Today, Computerworld newspaper is somewhat different; its entire front page contains no news, but instead features a single sentence.
"What will happen to humanity if it loses its imagination?" Professor Wang Ziqiang read this aloud softly, then seemed somewhat horrified.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Ziqiang murmured, "If humanity loses its imagination, humanity will have no future. In this world, technology will not advance, the population will increase, resources will be scarce, there will be food crises, environmental pollution, wars, and other factors that will destroy the world in which humanity lives!!!"
After Professor Wang Ziqiang finished speaking, he felt a chill run down his spine.
He probably never dreamed that this thought-provoking and thought-provoking statement was actually an advertisement, and that it left a deep impression on Professor Wang Ziqiang.
...
Zhang Xiaoyan is a senior executive at GE China, in charge of GE's business in China. He regularly reads Computerworld, a newspaper that helps him stay informed about developments in the computer field.
"Honey, have you bought the 'Computerworld' newspaper yet?"
"I bought it, so I'll put it on your dining table."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoyan went to the restaurant, where a bowl of fragrant beef noodles and a newspaper were placed on the table.
Zhang Xiaoyan picked up the newspaper with his left hand and chopsticks with his right, preparing to eat noodles while reading the newspaper.
That's how he always is.
But today, the moment he saw Computerworld.
He was stunned and stood there for a moment.
What will happen to humanity if it loses its imagination?
Zhang Xiaoyan couldn't help but start thinking.
This sentence had a profound impact on him, so much so that he almost forgot to eat the beef noodles his wife had painstakingly prepared.
...
Zhongguancun, Imagination Technology Company.
Zhao Ye and Fu Xiaoyue stood guard by the telephone, both nervous and excited.
Although Zhao Ye was confident, he was still a little nervous until everything was settled.
Computerworld magazine published an advertisement for the Chinese character card today. In the lower right corner of the sentence, "What will the future be like if humanity loses its imagination?", there was actually a contact number for Imagination Technologies.
If someone is very curious, they might not be able to resist calling to ask.
Of course, the first day's results were so-so, and newspaper readers might not have considered it an advertisement. But once the advertisement was published for several days or even a month, anyone would be curious about what product it was promoting.
"Boss, will anyone call today?" Fu Xiaoyue asked softly.
Zhao Ye said, "It's only the first day, so I'm not entirely sure either. However, Computerworld has a huge readership, so perhaps someone will be curious and call to ask."
Zhao Ye spent a huge sum of money, around 240,000 yuan, to advertise.
However, he registered the company, rented a house, renovated it, bought office desks and chairs, computers, installed telephones, and some necessary research and development equipment.
It basically depleted all his funds.
My savings are less than 10,000.
Zhao Ye is going all in, gambling with the company's fate.
Starting at 8 a.m., Zhao Ye and Fu Xiaoyue stood guard in front of the telephone, but as noon approached, the telephone still did not make a sound.
Waiting is agonizing.
"Looks like it's hopeless this morning, no one will call!" Zhao Ye said, slightly disappointed.
At this moment, Lu Feifei, a typist at the Capital Court, was bored and looked curiously at the bottom right of the sentence that was published in the full page of today's Computerworld newspaper, where there was a set of numbers.
"These numbers look like phone numbers from the capital region!!!"
"That's strange. Should I call them?"
Lu Feifei is a very bold and curious girl.
She acted on her thought immediately, picking up the telephone on her desk and dialing the mysterious number.
Ring ring ring ring...
On Zhao Ye's end, the phone suddenly rang.
"Boss, the phone finally rang!" Fu Xiaoyue exclaimed excitedly.
"Okay, I understand!" Zhao Ye smiled nonchalantly and nodded, "You can start answering the phone now, it's your job!"
“Yes!!!” Fu Xiaoyue nodded solemnly.
Whew~
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
"Hello, this is Imagination Technology Company. How can I help you?"
Fu Xiaoyue's sweet and gentle voice came through the phone to the other end of the line.
Lu Feifei was astonished. The mysterious phone call was from Imagination Technology Company?!
Suddenly, Lu Feifei remembered the sentence that was written on a full page of the Computerworld newspaper: "What will the future be like if humanity loses its imagination?"
My goodness, could that line be an ad for Imagination Technologies?!
Lu Feifei was shocked when she realized this possibility.
"Um... hello, I saw your phone number in the Computerworld newspaper and dialed it out of curiosity. What I got when it connected surprised me greatly. Was that sentence in the newspaper an advertisement for your company?" Lu Feifei asked.
Fu Xiaoyue smiled and replied, "Yes, that's our company's advertisement!"
