Chapter 329: 325. Zhang Ran's True Purpose? (Seeking subscriptions, monthly tickets!)

~7 min read 1,369 words

That night, Zhang Ran and the two little ones both went to sleep very early; after all, they had spent the whole day in the car.

The next morning at six o'clock, Zhang Ran woke up.

After finishing breakfast, Zhang Ran did not go anywhere, and the two little ones also stayed at home listlessly, not making a fuss about going out to play.

Suddenly removed from that situation where little friends were everywhere, the two little ones were both a bit unaccustomed to it.

Zhang Ran sat in the pavilion; Huo Zhiyuan had also gone to the company at this time. After all, she had been away from the company for a month, and although she had Zhao Jingyu helping to manage and report the situation, there was still quite a bit of work piled up.

At this moment, Zhang Ran dialed Ling Hua's number. In Zhang Ran's view, enough time had already been given for these matters; they could not be dragged out any longer, and dragging them out was meaningless anyway.

"Chairman Ling, how have you considered the matter?" Zhang Ran asked with a smile.

When Ling Hua saw Zhang Ran's call, he knew Zhang Ran's purpose and said with a smile, "We don't have any major problems on our end, but what about you, Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Ran laughed: "I have absolutely no problems on my end. Also, Chairman Ling, don't just think about the good things of taking advantage; what I hope for is that there are no problems at all."

"Once I have fulfilled the conditions I provided on my end, there cannot be any problems on your end, otherwise, don't blame me for being heartless when the time comes."

"Apologies, Chairman Ling, I am the type of person who likes to state the ugly truth upfront, so please forgive me."

Ling Hua was silent. He did not care about these words from Zhang Ran that implied a threat; he wasn't actually wanting to go back on his word or anything.

"Business is business; Mr. Zhang can rest assured on this point," Ling Hua said.

"Then when will you have time, Chairman Ling? Our game is already prepared on this end," Zhang Ran said.

"Three days later, I will bring the team to Shanghai, and we can discuss it in detail then." Ling Hua also gave an accurate time on his end.

Zhang Ran laughed: "Then I will await your arrival in Shanghai, Chairman Ling."

"Mr. Zhang, you are too polite."

The two exchanged a few polite words and then hung up. At this time, any personal friendship was nonsense; everything had to be based on interests.

After finishing the call with Ling Hua, Zhang Ran called Meng He.

"Dahe, how are the preparations for the matter?" Zhang Ran asked.

"Brother Zhang, the layout is almost done. There is still some finishing work left, but it won't take much longer," Meng He said.

Zhang Ran nodded and said: "You've worked hard during this period."

"It's nothing, this is all what I should do," Meng He said.

After thinking for a moment, Meng He still asked: "Brother Zhang, our layouts seem to be unfolding around Maikai Supermarket, and they don't seem to have any connection with Huamei."

This had been Meng He's doubt all along, but previously he had just been doing the work; now that it had reached the final stage, he asked with some curiosity.

Zhang Ran said: "That's right, it is indeed around Maikai Supermarket. Have you forgotten? I went to the Former Soviet Union at the end of '89."

Meng He was speechless. At this moment, even though he already had some mental preparation, he still felt a trace of shock.

Just how many things did Zhang Ran do back then?

Also, he had learned from Huang Lin's group that Huang Lin had already publicly declared war on Zhang Ran. Not only him, but others also thought Zhang Ran's next target was Huang Lin, but now it seemed that was not the case?

Meng He did not ask any more questions. He felt he should just honestly follow the arrangements; the more he knew and the more he thought, the more things he would have to be busy with later. He would just treat it as stealing some leisure.

Meng He began to report their preparation situation to Zhang Ran in detail, letting Zhang Ran have a clear grasp of the situation.

This call lasted for nearly three hours. Finally, Zhang Ran said: "Alright, let's do it like that for now. By the way, what is the situation with Galaxy Capital?"

Meng He laughed: "What else could it be? Making a scene, but Brother Zhang, you can rest assured; in our company, he can't stir up much trouble."

Meng He still had some confidence in this point. Meng He had laid out his plans many years earlier than other courier companies, and with Zhang Ran's capital support, plus some help from people like Huang Lin in the past, they had only managed to reach the top three and did not dominate the market alone.

The main reason for this was that Meng He liked to play it steady. Sometimes, for the sake of stability, he would rather give up a good opportunity.

This had both advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage was that Meng He had missed many development opportunities and had not unified the entire courier market, nor had he even achieved the position of the leader.

But the advantage was also exceptionally obvious: the entire Dahe Express was decided by Meng He. Coupled with the support of some founding veterans, no matter which investment company it was, they could not stir up any trouble on their end.

Meng He did not ask too much about Galaxy Capital either; he knew he just needed to do what Zhang Ran said.

Zhang Ran continued to make calls on his end. This time, he called Zhao Lifeng. Since he was back, Zhang Ran still needed to be busy when it was time to be busy.

"Chairman Zhao, how have you considered it? I have already talked with Weiteng, and we are just waiting for you," Zhang Ran said.

As for Dahe Express, Zhang Ran didn't need to say anything at all; Zhao Lifeng understood Meng He's attitude better than anyone.

But precisely because of this, Zhao Lifeng's heart could not be calm for a long time.

He felt that he did not have the courage that Meng He had! Or if he thought about it deeply, it certainly wasn't a problem of courage, but rather...

"Mr. Zhang, can you give me a little more time? We have a small problem on our end, but please rest assured, I have already secured the agreement of the majority of shareholders; the rest is just a matter of time," Zhao Lifeng said in a deep voice.

Zhang Ran said: "Fine, I will give Chairman Zhao another half a month. If you still haven't reached a consensus internally within half a month, then I can only find someone else to cooperate with."

Zhao Lifeng knew this was the last time Zhang Ran was giving him. He also knew that if he missed this opportunity, let alone developing and strengthening Fengli Group, whether they could survive under Zhang Ran's impact this time would be a question.

Previously, he might not have felt this way; after all, Zhang Ran had disappeared for twenty-eight years, and the era had long since changed.

But Meng He's attitude forced him to take it seriously. Meng He was betting the entire Dahe Express, and Zhang Ran also had the capital of Yaotian Pharmaceutical as support.

Zhao Lifeng had reason to believe that after the previous events, the entire Yaotian Pharmaceutical was already under Zhang Ran's control, and when the time came, Zhang Ran wanting to mobilize the funds of Yaotian Pharmaceutical would just be a matter of one sentence.

It was just that what Zhao Lifeng still hadn't quite figured out until now was what Zhang Ran's true purpose was.

This made him feel a bit uncertain in his heart. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Lifeng also asked his deepest doubt.
