Chapter 210: 206. Live-Action
After hanging up the phone, Ling Hua came to the Game Division and found Yin Gui; he wanted to learn more about Biaoxue Company.
"Chairman, why have you come?" Yin Gui was somewhat surprised by Ling Hua's arrival; it didn't look like he was here to inspect the work.
Ling Hua found a seat at random and sat down, asking with a smile, "I heard your Game Division is currently acquiring a small company. How is that going?"
Yin Gui poured a cup of water for Ling Hua, sat opposite him, and said, "The Chairman has heard of it too? It's just a small matter. Their game mode is quite good and worth us trying out. Why do you ask?"
Ling Hua picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, saying, "It's nothing major, just that the person's family has come knocking, demanding an explanation from us."
Yin Gui was also a bit curious, "Is it that mysterious Mr. Zhang?"
Clearly, he had also conducted a relatively in-depth investigation into Biaoxue Company, though none of this affected his commercial operations.
"You know Mr. Zhang too?" Ling Hua was taken aback; he hadn't expected Yin Gui to know Zhang Ran as well. Ling Hua didn't pay much attention to the criticisms on the internet.
Seeing Ling Hua's expression, Yin Gui knew that things were not as he had imagined.
Yin Gui stated the situation as he knew it, then asked curiously, "Chairman, who exactly is this Mr. Zhang? Why have I never heard of him?"
Asked this, Ling Hua also revealed a look of recollection. Back then, he had also been optimistic about the internet industry, but at that time, the internet in Huaxia hadn't developed at all.
At that time, Ling Hua himself had ability, and relying on his own skills, he earned 500,000 in the year '90.
But just at that moment, he met Zhang Ran, and for some reason, he was talked into the internet industry by Zhang Ran, and he even threw his entire net worth into it.
"Heh heh, this person is no simple character. If you really want to talk about it, he is the first major shareholder of our Weiteng; our first investment of one million came from him." Ling Hua laughed out loud as he thought about it.
"Hmm? So after that, Mr. Zhang didn't think highly of Weiteng and didn't invest in us?" Yin Gui became even more curious; this was the most likely explanation, otherwise, why wouldn't he be in a shareholder seat now?
Hearing this, Ling Hua shook his head and said, "That's where you're wrong. When it comes to vision for the internet, he is the one I admire most. The reason he didn't continue investing at the time was due to other force majeure reasons."
"Then Chairman, what about us now?" Yin Gui asked hesitantly; he had thought Ling Hua came this time to have him abandon the acquisition of Biaoxue Company.
Ling Hua understood his thoughts and said with a smile, "It's not to have you abandon this acquisition. On the contrary, you must do your utmost to acquire Biaoxue Company this time. I also want to see if Mr. Zhang has fallen behind."
Yin Gui was a bit confused by Ling Hua's meaning. Looking at him, he seemed to admire this Mr. Zhang quite a bit, so why do things this way?
"Alright, you don't need to know the specific details for now. Just handle the current matter well," Ling Hua said.
"Very well, I understand," Yin Gui said.
Zhang Ran watched Taylor exercising and asked, "How have you been feeling lately?"
Taylor relaxed his body and said, "Not bad, I feel much more energetic."
"That was just because you were weak; now that you've replenished yourself, you're naturally better," Zhang Ran said.
"When do you need my help?" Taylor ignored Zhang Ran's teasing and asked.
Zhang Ran stroked his chin and pondered, "I should have been preparing now, but since someone has delivered themselves to my door, it would be a shame not to make good use of this opportunity."
"Who are you scheming against now?" As soon as Taylor saw this guy's expression, he knew nothing good was happening.
Zhang Ran said with a straight face, "Who is scheming against anyone? I am making a fair and square bet."
He was currently waiting for a piece of news. If Weiteng didn't stir up this news, he would have to do it himself. In any case, Weiteng would have to take the blame in the end.
Zhang Ran thought for a moment and decided to find a few beauties to join in; that way, there would be highlights.
"Let's go, I'll take you to find some beauties." As soon as Zhang Ran said this, Huo Zhiyuan, who was on the side, shot him a sidelong glance, leaving Zhang Ran feeling baffled.
The four of them arrived at Ning Qing's Game Club; this time, he planned to find Cheng Yi and the others to help.
However, he didn't expect Meng Mingxuan and Huang Xunceng to be there as well.
"Uncle Zhang," Meng Mingxuan greeted.
"What are you doing here? Did you take a fancy to some girl?" Zhang Ran teased.
Meng Mingxuan said with a grin, "Yeah, it's a pity she doesn't think much of me."
As soon as Zhang Ran heard this, he knew that wasn't the case, so he stopped paying attention to the guy and instead had Ning Qing call over Cheng Yi and the others.
Hearing that Mr. Zhang had arrived, Cheng Yi and the others walked out dressed in very bright and beautiful outfits, making one think at first glance that this was a modeling agency rather than a game club.
One could only blame the fact that the first requirement for the people Ning Qing found was that they had to have sweet looks.
"Uncle Zhang, everyone is here," Ning Qing said.
Zhang Ran said with a smile, "I have a favor I need everyone's help with. I wonder if you all have the time."
"Of course we have time! Mr. Zhang, just give your orders." The group immediately began to respond in a chatter.
People outside didn't know who the mysterious Mr. Zhang was, but they knew. Cheng Yi was so popular now all because of him; if they could be favored by him, they could also become popular immediately.
So, hearing Zhang Ran's words, they were all incredibly enthusiastic.
Zhang Ran said, "Alright, I thank you all in advance. The matter is very simple: in the next few days, I will find people to have a competition with you all. You are all very familiar with this game; it is 'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds'."
Upon hearing this, the girls' eyes lit up, but after Zhang Ran finished speaking, they were completely stunned.
"However, this competition won't be on computers, but in reality. It's a live-action version of 'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds'. Of course, we will be using paintballs, not real bullets," Zhang Ran added with a laugh at the end.
Although these girls had never played it, after coming to their senses, they all expressed that they would do their best.
Finally, to stimulate them and give them motivation, Zhang Ran announced one more thing: "You all know Prince Haiman's eldest son, Bert, right?"
"We know! That's my idol!" one girl shouted excitedly, then immediately realized what was happening and looked at Zhang Ran full of surprise.
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "You guessed right. Bert will also participate. Whether you can beat Bert will depend on your own efforts. In the next few days, Ning Qing will take you to the venue to train and get familiar with it."
