that there were any true “saints” in the world of business!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a friend?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the realm of business, friends are those of equal status, where I can help you, and you can help me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plainly speaking, it’s all about mutual benefit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the two parties had been friends for over a decade, it’s normal for them to struggle against each other for a “benefit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that’s just the way it should be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the old ancestors said, “Everyone acts for benefit’s sake, and all hustle and bustle is for the sake of profit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Beiqing claimed he wasn’t aiming for career advancement, nor benefits, and that he met by mere coincidence just to help him and help the Zhang Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Zhang Heran’s view, that was complete nonsense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, Zhao Beiqing shifted the conversation and suggested they discuss “a matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Heran’s thoughts sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feared what was coming next was the real intent of Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Beiqing, the Affairs Officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are too kind!” Zhang Heran said indifferently, with a smile on his face, “Please, just say whatever you wish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re friends after all, I like straightforwardness, there’s nothing we can’t talk about!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our Zhang Family, now facing such a big trouble, our funds are tied up, and our business partners have also distanced themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honored as I am by your esteem of befriending me, I naturally have to align with your wishes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as the current capabilities of our Zhang Family aren’t worse than now, I, Zhang Heran, will do my utmost to serve you—this good friend!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Heran, who had been navigating the career field for fifteen to twenty years, wasn’t just boasting with his eloquence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words sounded sincere, but he also transmitted some messages to Zhao Beiqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Zhang Heran believed Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Beiqing would surely understand them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The initial words from Zhang Heran were to discourage Zhao Beiqing from beating around the bush and to just state his demands!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle part informed him of the Zhang Family’s current situation, hinting Zhao Beiqing not to ask too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were friends, there was a long-term consideration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last part was to tell Zhao Beiqing that any requests were welcome, but they couldn’t make the situation of the Zhang Family worse than now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, his mediation would be meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Beiqing’s smile grew wider, and he looked deeply at Zhang Heran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conversing with a clever person was indeed effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since that’s the case, I’ll just speak frankly,” Zhao Beiqing said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although I’m an Affairs Officer, Lu Zhixin in Hexi Province is the head of regional industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are peers, with no supervisory relationship between us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even though I have a supervisory role, there is a prerequisite for its exercise—that he has violated the rules!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then can I supervise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But in this matter, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang, you know it too, it was your group that took action against our enterprise first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhixin’s countermeasures were completely legitimate; even Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiahou Qi, the CEO of Greater China Region, would have nothing to argue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why would I, Zhao Beiqing, have the clout to make him back down just by saying a word?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Furthermore, to intervene in the affairs of a regional industry head, wouldn’t that be overstepping?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This statement was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Heran couldn’t help but nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you wondering why I wanted to bring a fourth-party unrelated enterprise into this?” Zhao Beiqing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can tell you, I’m counting on them to get things done!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Heran was taken aback, looking puzzledly at Zhao Beiqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These companies are the real weights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If those people are willing to cooperate with Hexi Province’s group enterprise, it will be a boon for the group, a support for the work of Lu Zhixin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their face, Lu Zhixin will naturally appreciate your good intentions in facilitating this connection, and won’t pursue the Zhang Family relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two parties will shake hands and make peace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu Zhixin will gain achievements, have an explanation for the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your Zhang Family, too, will avoid being dragged to death in business warfare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t this a win-win for everyone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Beiqing explained to Zhang Heran how he operated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Heran suddenly realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, while the method was clear, Zhao Beiqing’s role was not insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without him, the regional industry head Lu Zhixin wouldn’t even have come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a scenario that couldn’t be arranged without Zhao Beiqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I owe you for this, I, Zhang Heran, understand!” Zhang Heran expressed his gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what you wanted to tell me is actually…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Beiqing had yet to continue, merely clarifying the nuances involved first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon being asked by Zhang Heran, Zhao Beiqing smiled and finally said, “I told you, it’s all for friends.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang, are my friend!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those companies that came are also my friends!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I, Zhao Beiqing, do not need any compensation, for friendship, for the sake of ‘righteousness,’ I am willing to make this trip!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But those companies might not be willing to exert themselves so much for Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, everyone is not familiar enough to help without mentioning compensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just not possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Beiqing spoke earnestly, finally hitting the main point!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Heran’s mind suddenly realized the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Beiqing might not accept any benefits from him directly, but he could certainly take them from those companies!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time he had dealt with him, so he wasn’t confident!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Heran was somewhat impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, even if he wanted to keep any evidence, thinking of guarding against Zhao Beiqing in the future, that would not be possible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I, Zhang Heran, having been in the business world for twenty years, am still naive compared to these old and cunning types…” Zhang Heran couldn’t help but lament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand your reasoning, but I don’t know, what do those friends want?” Zhang Heran asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Beiqing smiled, “Zhang Family’s Qingbei Group is nationally renowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was truly eye-opening, to see it withstand competition from our group and ten other companies in the province, enduring unfalteringly, is admirable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Heran gave a bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Family’s reserves were greatly depleted in this prolonged contest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Heran currently just hoped that Qingbei Group would survive, before considering anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Beiqing continued, “Qingbei Group has a film and television city in Linshen, which is also nationally renowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This film and television city accounts for about forty percent of your group’s assets.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Heran’s pupils shrank upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those corporate friends are eyeing that film and television city of yours, thinking about a joint venture to take it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the price will not let your brother suffer too much loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter is worth considering!” Zhao Beiqing smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Swap part of the assets to pull Zhang Family through the crisis and also cash out a considerable sum for a comeback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, sounds like a good deal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, their target was the Zhang Family’s most vital asset—the Qingbei Film and Television City!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Heran’s throat went dry, his expression extremely unnatural, “Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao, that film and television city…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Its significance, it constitutes more than half of Zhang Family Group’s assets!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is the foundation of my Zhang Family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it gets sold off!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My Zhang Family won’t recover for a decade!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Heran was utterly reluctant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Beiqing looked troubled, pondered for a moment, then stood up expressionlessly, “Since it is difficult for Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I won’t force the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if that’s the case, if those friends aren’t happy and won’t help, I’m helpless!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This trouble, you’ll have to resolve it within your own family!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1298,"2026-06-05T17:42:48.184Z",1,"novelbin.me","0181eacfe9410a92ce99e3abbb8ba6b043295a00b71ade1b572da2154f04e7fc","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-971","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-969",2500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finheritance-of-two-trillion-cover.jpg"]
