Chapter 226: 222. The Price Zhang Ran Offered!

~7 min read 1,342 words

Zhang Ran was not at all surprised by Wan Haifang's decision; don't let her ugly appearance fool you, this woman is no fool, and is in fact a very shrewd woman.

It was just that she had been infatuated with Tian Yaohui back in the day, and when a woman falls into what she believes to be love, she is actually very easily deceived.

However, once this woman wakes up, all her rationality returns, and she becomes even more heartless.

Could Wan Haifang not know what her doing this meant for the current Tian Yaohui?

She knew, and she was very clear about the consequences of doing so, but she did it anyway; all of this was for the sake of herself and her daughter, and as for what Tian Yaohui's final outcome would be?

What did that have to do with her, Wan Haifang?

"You should have ten percent of the shares in your hands, right?" Zhang Ran asked, seemingly just inquiring, but Wan Haifang was startled in her heart.

For so many years, her shares had actually been hidden; to the outside world, it was only said that the shares belonged to the couple. This was considered a private agreement, and also the final security her old man had left for her.

If it hadn't been for that stupid woman showing up on her own back then, and if Wan Haifang hadn't been able to wake up in time, it would be hard to say who these shares would belong to now.

But to Zhang Ran, these things seemed as transparent as if they were completely exposed.

"Yes, ten percent. This belongs entirely to me and has nothing to do with Tian Yaohui," Wan Haifang said.

"Three billion!" Zhang Ran offered a price.

After hearing this, Wan Haifang flew into a rage: "Zhang Ran, are you going too far? You want to buy ten percent of the equity for just three billion?"

Wan Haifang's voice was loud, drawing the attention of many people nearby, especially the mention of three billion, which attracted even more notice.

However, no one looked at them with envy or jealousy; instead, they looked at Zhang Ran and the others as if they were fools.

Zhang Ran felt a bit awkward being watched by these people; if he had known, he would have chosen a private room or a place with fewer people.

"Sit down, let's talk slowly. Why are you in such a rush? You're not a child anymore," Zhang Ran quickly said in a low voice.

Wan Haifang took a deep breath, and after sitting down, she growled: "Zhang Ran, are you crazy or am I? You want to take these shares for three billion?"

Seeing her like this, Zhang Ran chuckled: "This three billion is only out of consideration for an old friend; otherwise, there wouldn't even be three billion."

After he finished speaking, he saw Wan Haifang about to angrily speak out again, so Zhang Ran quickly waved his hand, signaling her not to be too agitated.

"You don't think I'm going to calculate the price based on the current market value of Yaotian Pharmaceutical, do you?" Zhang Ran said.

Of course, Wan Haifang didn't think so, but she hadn't expected the price Zhang Ran offered to be so low—three billion for ten percent meant that in his eyes, Yaotian Pharmaceutical was only worth thirty billion.

"Calm down and listen carefully as I analyze it for you. If you still think three billion is too little then, we just won't sell," Zhang Ran said easily.

Wan Haifang didn't speak, just stared coldly at Zhang Ran; she wanted to hear what kind of nonsense Zhang Ran could come up with.

"You know 'Yong Ge' from Dasheng Pharmaceutical, right? I don't need to say much about the results, do I?" Just as Zhang Ran finished speaking, he saw a look in Wan Haifang's eyes as if she wanted to kill him, so he immediately laughed sheepishly: "That, I was just curious, just curious, don't be angry."

He wanted to gossip about whether Wan Haifang and Tian Yaohui still had a marital life; it was truly just gossip, and he absolutely had no intention of making a joke out of Tian Yaohui.

Immediately, Zhang Ran became serious again: "After Yaotian Pharmaceutical loses the 'Dragon Tiger Ointment' cake, its value will shrink by half. And now that Dasheng Pharmaceutical's new medicine is almost developed, the cold medicine from Yaotian Pharmaceutical will shrink even further by then."

Don't talk to me about Yaotian Pharmaceutical's relationships with hospitals and distribution channels. If I really went all out, believe it or not, Yaotian Pharmaceutical would suffer even more blows. I just don't want to get involved in politics; that's not good for anyone."

Wan Haifang fell silent. She wanted to refute, but she couldn't seem to find a way; although what Zhang Ran said wasn't happening now, the possibility of it happening later was very high.

And if it really reached that point, Zhang Ran probably wouldn't even spend money to buy their shares anymore.

Wan Haifang also knew that Zhang Ran had actually built up quite a few favors back in the day, and had made some investments in certain people—or rather, not investments, but a form of mutual assistance.

The Zhang Ran of those years truly had a sincere heart. While developing his own business, he also helped many small and medium-sized enterprises overcome difficulties, which also indirectly helped many people gain political achievements.

If Zhang Ran really lost all sense of decorum, it would truly be as he just said, it's just that it wouldn't be good for anyone.

Unless it reached the final step, Zhang Ran wouldn't do that, but if Zhang Ran were pushed into a corner, no one could guarantee whether he would do it or not.

"And don't think I need that many shares. Actually, ten percent is enough for me. I could acquire these shares by spending a bit more money on the stock market; I just wanted to take care of an old friend."

Hearing this, Wan Haifang couldn't help but sneer. Was her relationship with Zhang Ran that good?

No, back then they were even half-enemies, but those grudges were no longer worth mentioning in the face of time; they had long since vanished into thin air.

"If you don't want to spend more money, just say so. Why speak so sanctimoniously? Do you really think I'll believe you?" Wan Haifang said with disdain.

Zhang Ran smiled and said nothing. He had said what he needed to say, and now he was just waiting for Wan Haifang to speak.

Wan Haifang didn't rush to make a decision, sitting silently in her chair with her eyes closed in thought. It wasn't until half an hour later that she said: "Fine, three billion. I agree."

Just as Zhang Ran was about to speak, Wan Haifang added: "But I have a condition."

"What condition?" Zhang Ran asked.

"From now on, you must not make things difficult for Yaya again!" Wan Haifang said in a low voice; this was her only condition.

Zhang Ran smiled: "I have never made things difficult for her."

Wan Haifang wanted to say something else, but she saw Zhang Ran's smile fade: "I said, I will not make things difficult for Tian Ya."

Seeing Zhang Ran's cold gaze, Wan Haifang knew that it was impossible for Zhang Ran to agree to this matter. What Wan Haifang was really talking about wasn't just not making things difficult for Tian Ya, but for Sun Gaixin.

In the end, Wan Haifang didn't speak again. She knew that since Zhang Ran had already made a decision, he would not change it.

As for using these ten percent of shares to threaten Zhang Ran and force him to agree, Wan Haifang wasn't that stupid, and she didn't dare!

"Is there anything else you need me to do?" Wan Haifang finally asked, knowing that Zhang Ran must have other things for her to do.
