Chapter 188: 185. The Internet Industry Changed Because of Zhang Ran

At the dining table, the two little ones both sat tightly against Zhang Ran, looking at him from time to time, as if they were afraid that Zhang Ran might disappear again.

The family ate and chatted.

"Siyan, how are things at your company? Is Big Boss Huo alright?" Liu Lu asked with concern.

She had already learned the general situation while helping to inquire about things.

Zhang Siyan said, "It's already fine."

"That's good. By the way, why did Big Boss Huo faint? And before I got off work, I saw several doctors from our hospital being taken away by the police; it seems they were the doctors who treated Big Boss Huo that day," Liu Lu said with some curiosity.

Zhang Ran saw Zhang Siyan looking at him, thought for a moment, and said, "There's nothing that can't be said; the matter has already happened."

Liu Lu and Zhang Sicheng were both curious—what exactly happened?

However, as Zhang Siyan recounted it, both of them were stunned; they hadn't expected that such complex relationships could exist behind a seemingly simple matter.

"Sigh, this is the wealthy elite for you. It's fortunate that our family is only moderately well-off," Zhang Sicheng remarked. He didn't have much of a feeling about these things; after all, to him, Huo Zhiyuan was just his sister's boss.

Liu Lu had the same sentiment. Their family did indeed have some money now because of Zhang Ran, but that was all; they couldn't compare to a wealthy elite like Huo Zhiyuan.

Hearing her brother and sister-in-law's remarks, Zhang Siyan looked at them with a strange expression. At this moment, she wouldn't truly believe that their family was just a simple relocated household.

Who has ever seen a relocated household that could make a Big Boss like Huo Zhiyuan follow their every word?

Especially the things Zhang Ran said at the end—although Zhang Siyan didn't understand a single word, she knew that there must be other matters involved, and the amounts of money involved might be quite large.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhang Sicheng felt uncomfortable being watched by Zhang Siyan. He touched his cheek and said uneasily, always feeling that there was a deeper meaning in his sister's eyes.

Zhang Siyan coughed and said, "Nothing, just that you look like you're glowing with health lately."

Zhang Ran smiled and chimed in at this moment, "Actually, Huo Zhiyuan's matter, when it comes down to it, was just because of greed and uneven distribution. This will not happen in our family.

The things that you two siblings can obtain are all the same; I will not be biased toward anyone."

This sentence of his served as a preventive measure; having experienced Huo Zhiyuan's affair, he was also afraid that such a thing would happen in his own home.

Zhang Siyan opened her mouth to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Ran.

"Sicheng, tell us, what good things have you encountered recently? Tell us about it," Zhang Ran said with a smile.

Zhang Sicheng seemed to have been waiting for these words from Zhang Ran. Upon hearing them, he immediately said with great excitement, "You might not know, but just yesterday, people from the gaming department of Weiteng Group contacted me, wanting to acquire our company. Do you know how much they offered?"

Before Zhang Ran could ask, Zhang Siyan asked curiously, "How much money?"

Zhang Sicheng put on airs, then said with a proud look, "Three hundred million! And that's just the initial offer!"

"Oh!" Zhang Siyan nodded faintly after hearing this, without much reaction.

Zhang Ran felt even less, and although he wanted to pretend to be surprised, his acting skills were clearly insufficient.

Seeing the expressions of the father and daughter, Zhang Sicheng's originally proud expression suddenly collapsed. "Aren't you going to praise me? This is three hundred million! How much time has passed, and it went from thirty million to three hundred million; aren't you excited?"

"Excited, not bad, you performed very well," Zhang Ran 'praised'.

Zhang Siyan also perfunctorily said, "Mm, I just knew my brother was the best."

Liu Lu was stifling a laugh on the side. Zhang Sicheng looked at Liu Lu with a grievance and said, "Wife, you're still the best."

And wasn't that the truth? Up to now, only Liu Lu had truly shown shock, happiness, and heartfelt praise.

Zhang Ran watched this scene with a smile, feeling more and more satisfied in his heart; this kind of family atmosphere was exactly what he wanted.

"You don't want to ask me whether I sold it or not?" Zhang Sicheng couldn't help but say.

Zhang Ran said indifferently, "The company is yours anyway; sell it if you want to."

Zhang Ran really didn't care about this. Even if Zhang Sicheng were prepared to sell it, he wouldn't say anything; he would only adjust his cultivation of Zhang Sicheng and respect his decision to the greatest extent.

"You wouldn't happen to not know about Weiteng Group, would you?" Zhang Sicheng suddenly said. He felt that his father probably didn't know much about the internet sector, which was why he was acting this way.

Zhang Sicheng wanted to first popularize some internet knowledge for his father, and then have him re-evaluate.

When it came down to it, Zhang Sicheng was actually like a child at this moment; after achieving results, he wanted to show off in front of his father, or rather, receive praise.

Zhang Ran heard Zhang Sicheng's words and didn't say anything, only saying, "Then tell me about it."

He had sensed Zhang Sicheng's intentions, so he was prepared to give him a way out.

Subsequently, Zhang Ran listened as Zhang Sicheng began to explain internet companies and some related matters to him.

As Zhang Ran listened, he felt his head start to ache.

Actually, he knew all of this; he had been learning and chatting about these things during this period, but the more he understood, the more he felt his head ache.

"Damn it, if I had known, I wouldn't have done that; it would have been better to let things take their natural course," Zhang Ran muttered in his heart.

The current state of the Huaxia internet industry—to say it was caused single-handedly by Zhang Ran might be an exaggeration, but it wasn't far off.

In the 90s, the Huaxia internet could be said to have not yet started; it was just in its budding stage.

At that time, Zhang Ran began making preparations, bringing some capable and visionary internet talents into Huaxia, and he would also provide some initial capital so that they could successfully realize their concepts and visions in the early stages.

This could prevent some talents and good projects from being aborted due to a lack of early-stage funding.

Zhang Ran had no choice but to do this; after all, this was a parallel world, not his previous life. If he had been reborn into his previous life, he could have gone directly to those big shots from his past life and invested money directly.

But clearly, this method wouldn't work in this parallel world. Zhang Ran didn't know who was truly capable or who could really rise to prominence.

So he could only cast a wide net, bringing these talents to Huaxia in advance to lead the development of the internet era.

At that time, Zhang Ran thought that he could grasp the overall situation from behind anyway; whoever truly stood out, he would continue to invest in, and whoever lacked ability, he would choose to let go.

But he hadn't expected to encounter the Goddess of Destiny incident, so because of Zhang Ran, a large number of internet talents entered the field early, and at the same time, the Huaxia internet industry entered the international spotlight ahead of schedule.

And because of the Goddess of Destiny, Zhang Ran was unable to operate from behind the scenes.

Anyway, although the Huaxia internet had developed rapidly over these years, a true winner had not yet been decided.

However, there was one good thing, and that was that the current Huaxia internet could be said to be blooming with a hundred flowers, not a situation where one company dominated.
