Chapter 215: 211. The Big Show Begins
Early the next morning, Tian Yaohui gathered all the company's senior executives for a meeting. There was only one topic for today's meeting: how to face their neighboring competitor, Dasheng Pharmaceutical!
At this time, many people still didn't understand what had happened. They knew about Dasheng Pharmaceutical; it was a pharmaceutical company in their neighboring city, but its scale, production capacity, and products were far from comparable to their own Yaotian.
In the past, Dasheng Pharmaceutical even took on some odd jobs from their side. How could such a company make Tian Yaohui look so solemn?
However, when Tian Yaohui distributed the documents to everyone, these people were stunned after reading them, and one by one, their expressions changed.
"Chairman, what is Dasheng Pharmaceutical trying to do? Do they think they can defeat us just by relying on one product?" someone asked angrily. This was a normal reaction after their interests were touched, and of course, more of it was the result of being provoked by a small company that they previously hadn't even looked at.
Tian Yaohui glanced at him and said calmly, "I had you come here to find a way to solve this matter, not to lose your tempers."
After being told this by Tian Yaohui, everyone calmed down one after another and began to think of countermeasures.
"We have many partners. I will call them in a moment and have them cut off Dasheng Pharmaceutical's raw materials," someone said.
Tian Yaohui nodded noncommittally. He knew that doing this wouldn't actually have much effect. After all, it was clear that Zhang Ran was targeting their company's Dragon Tiger Ointment; Zhang Ran didn't look down on their other products, but it was better than nothing!
"We can acquire shares of Dasheng Pharmaceutical. As far as I know, Dasheng Pharmaceutical's shares are relatively scattered, and they are not united internally. I believe if we offer a high enough price, we can completely sway these shareholders. By then, we can also have one more product," someone said.
Hearing this, Tian Yaohui tapped the table and said, "Those are all old stories. Now, Dasheng Pharmaceutical has been completely acquired by a single person; it belongs to one individual's industry."
"And you should also get rid of this kind of thinking. I can tell you responsibly that the current Dasheng Pharmaceutical is not lacking in either background or capital."
Hearing Tian Yaohui's words, everyone looked at each other in dismay. Why did it feel like Tian Yaohui had known about this Dasheng Pharmaceutical for a long time?
Just as Tian Yaohui was starting to discuss countermeasures, Zhang Ran was not idle either.
In the morning, after Zhang Ran finished breakfast, he said to Liu Lu and the others, "I might not be back for lunch today, so don't wait for me."
"Okay, Dad," Liu Lu replied.
Zhang Siyan had also rushed over early this morning to eat, and upon hearing this, she looked at her father with some curiosity.
She understood more than Zhang Sicheng; the incident with Huo Zhiyuan last time made Zhang Siyan realize that her father was not simple at all.
And if there wasn't anything major, Zhang Ran would never miss a family meal. What was going on today? Could it be that something else had happened?
However, Zhang Siyan also knew that even if something were wrong, she wouldn't be able to help, so she simply didn't ask further.
As for Zhang Sicheng, he hadn't heard Zhang Ran's words at all; at this moment, his mind was constantly thinking about the company's development.
Especially since the recent offline live-action version of *PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds* had become increasingly popular, it had also sparked many topics, increasing the game's download volume significantly, and even the game's revenue was increasing along with it.
"Bert, can you help me contact a military industrial company?" Zhang Sicheng suddenly said.
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room suddenly went quiet, and even Zhang Ran stared blankly at his son!
What was going on?
Had he transmigrated again?
Was his own son trying to set his sights on the arms business?
Did he want to be an arms tycoon?
Should he support him?
Zhang Sicheng, being watched by everyone, also reacted and immediately said sheepishly, "No, don't look at me like that. I want to customize some weapons that look the same as the ones in the game. Not real guns, they're fake, but I want to make them look realistic, so I wanted Bert to help."
Bert had been staying at Zhang Ran's house for more than half a month. Perhaps Zhang Ran's house really had some magic; he wasn't as formal while eating at the Zhang Family's house at this time. Although he still appeared polite, he was much better and more casual than before.
Of course, this was also because he was familiar with the Zhang family and they got along well.
"I can help with this; it's a very simple matter. When do you need them?" Regarding Zhang Sicheng's request, Bert agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Zhang Ran and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but Zhang Ran was indeed quite appreciative; Zhang Sicheng had finally made some progress, which was quite good.
"The sooner the better," Zhang Sicheng said.
After they finished talking, Zhang Ran stood up and said to Bert, "Bert, you come out with us in a while. You can handle Sicheng's matter as you see fit."
"Okay, Uncle Zhang." Bert was also a bit curious about what Zhang Ran was going to take him to do. He knew that Zhang Ran rarely took him out; most of the time, he just let Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan take him around.
But most of the time, Bert was just at home reading and studying by himself.
After Zhang Ran and the others left, Liu Lu suddenly said, "Why do I feel like Dad is about to do something big?"
"Grandpa is the most amazing!" the sycophant Zhang Xiaotao immediately said.
Susu followed up with a sentence, "Mm-hmm, Grandpa is the most amazing!"
"Alright, your grandpa has already left, he can't hear you sucking up to him. You'd better think about how to finish your homework today, or watch out for your little bottom," Liu Lu immediately said with a straight face.
Zhang Xiaotao was immediately dejected. He used to be very proactive about doing his homework, but now there were four children in the house, and he was the only one who had to do homework, which made him feel a bit unbalanced and also led to a negative attitude. Why was he the only one doing homework?
The Auston brothers didn't have homework, and the teachers never assigned any to them, as they were only there to study for a short period.
Moreover, Zhang Ran had given instructions at the time that there was no need to worry about their academic performance, as long as they weren't bullied at school.
Zhang Ran found Meng He and his son. Meng Mingxuan was very excited at this moment because he knew that a big show was about to begin.
"Girl, Da He, how are your funds prepared?" Zhang Ran asked.
Huo Zhiyuan said, "No problem at all, they can be used at any time. If it's not enough, I've already made arrangements with the bank, and I can get a quick loan at any time."
Meng He also nodded and said, "It's the same on my end."
Zhang Ran said, "It's not needed for now. Ming Xuan, Bert, don't say that your uncle doesn't take care of you. Next, take out your own pocket money; you'll be able to earn some."
Although Bert didn't quite understand, he still nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhang."
Meng Mingxuan said with a grin, "Uncle Zhang, I've already prepared it, just waiting for your word."
Zhang Ran looked at Meng Mingxuan with annoyance; this guy really knew how to seize every opportunity, but that was fine too.
Zhang Ran took out his phone and dialed Ling Hua, "Chairman Ling, we can start!"
