I'll Wait for You in the Future (Grand Finale)
The figure was none other than Zhang Yang.
Such a distinguished person's arrival at Yinghai naturally caused a sensation throughout the venue.
Of course, this is a private place, even though it's in a hospital, it's a VVIP floor, sealed off from the outside world.
"Mr. Zhang!" The hospital director rushed over and immediately explained the situation to him.
As for the situation, everything is naturally very stable.
Even if some emergency were to occur, such top-notch medical facilities would be more than capable of handling anything.
I don't know how much time passed.
"It's a boy! It's a boy!"
The entire floor erupted in cheers.
"Mother and child are safe!"
Congratulations Mr. Zhang on the birth of your son!
Congratulations to Mr. Zhang for having a worthy successor!
All the staff present, from the hospital director to the doctors, stepped forward to offer their congratulations.
Zhang Yang held the small, wrinkled baby in his arms, his heart filled with some indescribable feelings.
He finally has a son?
This feeling, this joy, far surpasses even the joy he felt when Cloud Sea Technology went public, and far surpasses the joy he felt when he took an advanced gene serum and gained a lifespan of seven or eight hundred years.
Is this the traditional mindset of the Chinese people?
"Here you are! Thank you all for your hard work!" He smiled and handed the baby to a designated person to take to the mother in the delivery room. With a wave of his hand, a generous red envelope was prepared.
Everyone present received one.
In addition, all the medical staff who participated in this event have had their salaries and bonuses paid for this month.
To show that we share in the joy.
Inside the delivery room, Bei Wei's face was slightly pale, but mostly filled with joy.
"Has our baby seen it?" she asked Zhang Yang with a smile.
"I saw it, it's very cute." Zhang Yang smiled, bent down, and kissed Bei Wei's forehead. "Thank you for your hard work."
"I have no regrets in this life for giving birth to this child for you." Bei Wei's eyes shone with happiness. "You must have already decided on a name for the child, right?"
"Zhang Haoxuan, how is it?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.
This name is in line with the trend; these days, young parents are giving their children increasingly elaborate names.
However, they all fall short of expectations.
Are you a nobleman, to have such a name?
However, it was entirely appropriate and justified for Zhang Yang to give his son such a name.
"It sounds nice." Bei Wei was clearly satisfied.
Zhang Yang brought the child over and gently placed him next to Bei Wei's face, letting the mother kiss the child.
In the distance, the faint sound of my parents' laughter could still be heard from the corridor.
The Zhang family is indeed very happy that their heir has been born.
As for Zhang Yang, he didn't intend to show favoritism towards any of his children, but this one was, after all, his first child, so it held a different significance.
A few days later, Bei Wei moved into the Tan Palace with her entire postpartum care team.
At the full moon celebration a month later, the entire top floor of Magic City was practically in an uproar.
Inside the ultra-luxury hotel under the Cloud Sea Group, political and business elites from across the country flocked to the hotel. The parking lot was so crowded that even the world's top auto shows couldn't compare to the scene, and the multi-million dollar luxury cars were just ordinary cars among the crowd.
A small hall was specially prepared to display Zhang Haoxuan's full-moon gift.
These gifts were naturally extremely luxurious and beyond imagination.
Gifts that can be seen in person are actually not that valuable; what is more precious are gifts that are not present or even exist in person.
For example, private islands that are specially purchased and transformed into amusement parks, private jets, luxury yachts, or even purebred Akhal-Teke ponies from Turkmenistan; some even go so far as to give away shares directly.
This child is truly showered with love and affection.
If there truly are exceptionally gifted individuals in this world, then this child is undoubtedly one of them.
In the following year, Zhang Yang's children were born one after another.
But the torrent of time continues to roll forward.
In the following years, Zhang Yang obtained several technologies from the system that were far ahead of their time.
However... there is still no biotechnology that can further break through the limitations of the human body and extend lifespan.
Come to think of it... such technology is incredibly valuable...
Putting aside the technology, even later on, Zhang Yang never saw a single trace of those basic or intermediate gene-enhancing drugs.
This shows how precious it is.
The only unexpected bonus was that he actually acquired all the technology for the cryogenic sleep chamber.
This thing is essential for interstellar travel. After all, an interstellar journey can take decades or even centuries, and the human body naturally cannot wait that long. Thus, cryogenic sleep pods came into being.
It's equivalent to reducing human metabolism to an unimaginable extreme; hundreds of years are equivalent to only a year and a half for the human body.
Well, we haven't even got the interstellar travel technology yet, but this thing has arrived first.
With this technology, Zhang Yang felt that it greatly alleviated the anxiety of waiting year after year. At least the people around him could temporarily sleep in cryosleep pods and sleep into the future, until the day when biotechnology can develop to the point where it can prolong their lives.
Together, let's witness the future.
··
The development of the sleep capsule progressed rapidly, and the finished product appeared quickly.
The first use was soon right in front of me.
Zhang Yang made a special trip, traveling light and keeping a low profile, to return to Yinghai and the suburbs to visit his grandparents.
It's the same courtyard.
Since Zhang Yang gave the two elderly people the anti-aging drug, the two people, who are over eighty years old, are actually in the physical condition of seventy-something years old and are in their prime.
"Grandpa and Grandma," Zhang Yang called out from the doorway.
The two elderly people insisted on living here, not wanting to live a life of luxury with servants and great wealth. In their words, the life they had now was what they truly enjoyed and what they truly preferred.
"Zhang Yang?!" Grandpa Zhang was stunned. "Old woman, old woman, come out quickly, Zhang Yang is here!"
The courtyard gate was closed, and the three generations of the family sat around the table, drinking tea and chatting.
The elderly couple would often inquire about the well-being of their great-grandchildren, their faces beaming with joy.
"Yes, everything is fine!"
"Zhang Yang, they are all your children. You must not show favoritism towards one over the other in the future!"
"Grandpa and Grandma," Zhang Yang pondered for a moment, "In the business world, those with ability and integrity should be in charge. I can't just do whatever it takes to avoid favoritism. This isn't just about me; it's about the fate of countless people."
Regarding shareholding, the heir must maintain absolute control; otherwise, the shares will be dispersed, which would be a crisis.
Grandpa Zhang nodded and listened to Zhang Yang continue.
"In the future, whoever among them has great talent and can steer the company will naturally be groomed as an heir. As for anyone who says they lack the will or ability, I will guarantee them a life of luxury," Zhang Yang said.
In short, when everyone's talents are fully utilized, harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things.
His current Cloud Sea Group directly and indirectly controls hundreds of companies. When the time comes, even if his children are not particularly outstanding, he can give them some companies that don't require too much effort, and then hire professional managers to run them.
A lifetime of wealth and honor goes without saying.
"Yes, yes! Harmony in the family brings prosperity in everything." Grandpa Zhang nodded and smiled, "It's just a shame we won't see them grow up, or even get married and have children."
He takes it all in stride.
I'm already in my eighties, and I'm very content to see my great-grandchildren. But I never imagined I would be able to see them grow up, or even get married and have children.
"What if we can see it?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.
"What are you talking about? That would mean being over a hundred years old!" Grandpa Zhang exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh. "We're not greedy, well... every day we live is a bonus, but to say we'll live to be over a hundred years old, that's really..."
Clearly, he didn't believe he could live to be over a hundred years old.
"It's a gift, Grandpa and Grandma," Zhang Yang said with a smile.
Even without cryopreservation, given their physical condition, which makes them ten years younger than their actual age, coupled with such medical care and meticulous maintenance, it's entirely possible for them to live to be a hundred.
"Not only will you live to be over a hundred years old, but you will also see your great-grandchildren get married, and even see the day their children get married."
To put it bluntly, it means putting two elderly people into a sleep pod, causing their physical condition to stagnate.
Then, they can awaken at various points in the future, and then fall asleep again. Not to mention seeing their great-grandchildren get married, they can even go back several generations without any problem.
Zhang Yang's words left the two elderly people stunned.
"Grandpa and Grandma, come on in, let's talk inside."
He pointed inside the house.
A moment later, inside the room, Zhang Yang used holographic projection technology to display everything he wanted to say.
"This... this is real?" Grandpa Zhang couldn't contain the surprise and shock in his voice.
"It's done, and we can use it anytime," Zhang Yang said. "Grandpa and Grandma, you can use it whenever you want. Just let your grandson know when you're ready."
Grandpa Zhang both fell silent.
As I've gotten older, I've noticed that some of my peers have gradually passed away in recent years.
The topic of life and death naturally came to mind.
No matter how carefree they are, how could they remain calm when faced with something that allows them to sleep for decades into the future, an opportunity to see the future, to see their children and grandchildren?
Yes, for them at this point, the ties with their peers no longer matter.
All they have are the ties and reluctance to part with their children and grandchildren.
"Future··"
"Don't worry, Grandpa and Grandma, we'll all be here for you in the future, my dad, my mom, and me..." Zhang Yang smiled and held the two elderly people's hands.
Later that evening, Zhang Yang left the courtyard.
The two elderly people naturally agreed to his suggestion.
Who wouldn't want to witness a more exciting future, or see their children and grandchildren grow up? And now, this opportunity is right in front of them—how could they possibly miss it?
For Zhang Yang, the future means endless possibilities.
Humans always leave unfulfilled things to the future, believing that they will eventually come true, and this is especially true for him.
After leaving this time, the elderly couple will spend several months saying goodbye, meeting different people, and making all the necessary preparations, because they know that some people, once met, will never be seen again.
In the same year, Cloud Sea Group announced the establishment of an industrial park in the Gangge Republic.
To put it simply, it means establishing a corporate zone integrating living and working on the land of the Gangge Republic, for the employees of the Cloud Sea Group to use for both work and life.
This industrial park is not that industrial park.
Its size is so large that it resembles a small city.
The city and the outside world seem like two different worlds.
The city is planned to include skyscrapers, top-tier supermarkets and shopping malls, residential areas, luxury housing areas, parks, and green spaces.
In terms of the resulting urban planning alone, it ranks among the world's best.
Outside the city, development has not stagnated. Over the years, the Gangge Republic has been teeming with vitality, and in time, it may well become a rising pearl of Africa.
··
Zhang Yang was forty years old that year.
Cloud Sea Group has a presence all over the world.
Cloud Sea Technology has held the title of the world's number one company for many consecutive years.
Not long ago, Home Games announced that its peak number of concurrent users worldwide had exceeded one billion. After years of development, Home has truly become humanity's second spiritual Home.
It is the true metaverse.
In addition, Cloud Sea Technology has been at the forefront of the times in recent years, releasing a series of groundbreaking technologies, and is recognized globally as the world's number one technology company.
Other companies under the Cloud Sea Group have also grown rapidly in recent years, spreading across various industries. Their business reach extends to almost every aspect of people's lives, from clothing and food to housing and transportation. They are virtually ubiquitous. Looking at the world's top 500 companies, there are countless related companies under the Cloud Sea Group.
Under the Cloud Sea Group, Honey Badger Security boasts nearly 200,000 members worldwide, making it the world's leading private military group. In terms of strength, it is even comparable to the regular army of a medium-sized country.
In the same year, Africa was in turmoil, with signs of Africa war.
At a critical moment, the Gangge Republic test-fired a new strategic ballistic missile and several strategic cruise missiles, instantly deterring other nations and solidifying its position as the leading power in Africa.
During the same period, SC Industrial, the only defense contractor for the Gangge Republic, emerged and quickly became one of the world's leading military industrial enterprises. Its products, including missiles, radars, defense systems, and aviation equipment, are exported to more than 70 countries and regions around the world.
All of these, whether overt or covert, direct or indirect, were Zhang Yang's doing.
Years later, on the territory of the Gangge Republic in Africa.
Zhang Yang stood atop SC Industrial's largest armed helicopter, carrying all his children, showing them the vast empire their father had built for them.
Inside the cabin, children of all ages, boys and girls, all wore expressions of curiosity and excitement.
More than anything, it's admiration for Zhang Yang, the father.
Zhang Yang held one child in each hand, a little princess sat on his neck, and several other children were holding him at his lap.
Outside the cabin, the land stretched as far as the eye could see.
And in the distance, the skyline stretches out in a magnificent and awe-inspiring way.
That's the industrial zone of Cloud Sea Group, or it would be more accurate to call it... Enterprise City or Yunhai City.
"Dad, is this our Yunhai industrial zone?" Zhang Haoxuan held his father's hand, looked at the magnificent view in the distance, and raised his head with admiration in his eyes.
"Yes, it's...our family's." Zhang Yang smiled slightly.
After ten years of development, the Cloud Sea Industrial Zone has now been transformed into a small, highly developed city capable of accommodating hundreds of thousands of people, with towering buildings.
These are the assets of his Cloud Sea Group that are publicly known.
But in reality, the entire Gangge Republic had long been under his control; it was his Zhang family's country. This was the first time he had brought his brothers and sisters to see this city and land together.
"What are your thoughts?" Zhang Yang was about to ask his eldest son, on whom he had placed high hopes, what he thought.
Suddenly, a childish voice came from the side.
"Dad is so great!"
Zhang Yang couldn't help but smile, glancing at the little boy who was only a few years old beside him.
"Who taught you to say that?"
"I learned it myself... Daddy, carry me." The little boy looked up at Zhang Yang longingly.
Zhang Yang smiled and bent down to pick up the little boy.
The helicopter flew and flew, heading towards a huge residence built on a mountaintop. Inside the enormous courtyard, women were chatting and laughing, creating a scene of perfect harmony.
The helicopter landed.
The children cheered and jumped into the arms of the figures.
Zhang Yang sat down on the plane, looked at the smiling faces in front of him, and opened his arms with a smile.
Meanwhile, in the distant Cloud Sea Industrial Zone, lights twinkled, and a journey across centuries to the stars and the sea was just beginning...
