Chapter 330: 326. The Negotiation Begins (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

"Mr. Zhang, may I ask who your ultimate target is this time? Let me have some mental preparation." Zhao Lifeng said in a deep voice.

Hearing his question, Zhang Ran chuckled and said, "The target? The target is to strengthen Fengli Group."

Hearing this from Zhang Ran, Zhao Lifeng suddenly felt like a deflated ball, his whole person becoming listless.

At this moment, Zhang Ran said indifferently, "I can tell you, but are you prepared? My, Zhang Ran's, secrets are not so easy to listen to.

Once you hear them, there will be no room for you to turn back. You can consider this a threat, or say I am exaggerating, but I still want to ask one thing: are you prepared?"

Zhang Ran said this very calmly; he was truly asking if Zhao Lifeng was prepared!

Hearing this from Zhang Ran, Zhao Lifeng remained silent; he now dared not take these words of Zhang Ran's lightly.

Since Zhang Ran dared to say it, he truly dared to do it!

Zhao Lifeng dared not gamble!

"Then I hope our cooperation this time will be pleasant!" Zhao Lifeng finally said.

Zhang Ran said, "Of course, I, Zhang Ran, do not have the habit of cheating my business partners!"

That was what he said, but in his heart, he silently added: A win-win is not cheating, even if I might win a little more.

In the end, Zhao Lifeng did not say anything else; he really did not dare to stake everything on Zhang Ran right now.

He had not been truly idle during this period; besides pushing forward the cooperation with Zhang Ran, he had also been inquiring about other matters concerning Zhang Ran.

Just the situations he knew of were enough to make him shocked and wary!

Huang Lin of Huamei!

Zhuo Fan of Fengchao Supermarket!

Plus Tian Yaohui of the now-finished Yaotian Pharmaceutical!

These were all Zhang Ran's troubles, and Zhao Lifeng dared not get involved casually!

Two days later, in the evening, dinner at the Zhang Family.

Zhang Ran said to Zhang Siyan and Qian Li, "Are you two ready?"

Zhang Siyan said in surprise, "Are we really allowed to go too?"

Qian Li was even more confused; she had thought Zhang Ran was joking before, and did not expect Zhang Ran to really let her participate.

She was already very satisfied with her current life and had not thought much about anything else.

Before Zhang Ran could speak, Huo Zhiyuan smiled and said, "You go and see how others negotiate; there will be times when it comes in handy."

Huo Zhiyuan was planning to leave Kangshilan Group to Zhang Siyan, so with such a good opportunity now, it was naturally good to broaden her horizons.

Seeing that Huo Zhiyuan had said so, Zhang Siyan and Qian Li stopped talking.

"Brother Zhang, can I add two more people on my side?" Huo Zhiyuan said with a smile.

Zhang Ran said, "Of course, who?"

"Jingyu and Zixuan. Jingyu's ability is sufficient, but her decisiveness is still a bit lacking, so let her learn this time. As for Zixuan..." Huo Zhiyuan explained the situation.

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Fine, let them come along tomorrow."

"Grandpa, I want to go too." Zhang Xiaotao suddenly spoke up.

Not only was Zhang Ran stunned, but the others were also stunned.

"What are you going for?" Zhang Ran asked amusedly.

"Aren't you going out to play? I want to play too, Grandpa, don't leave me behind." Zhang Xiaotao said.

Susu could not hold back either and started clamoring to go along.

Zhang Ran looked at the two little ones, thought for a moment, and said, "Fine, but you must be well-behaved."

Of course, Zhang Ran's agreement did not mean he really wanted to bring them into the negotiations; he just let them play around at Biaoxue Company.

This morning, Zhang Ran wore formal attire for a rare occasion; it must be said, he looked quite spirited!

At the very least, the look in Huo Zhiyuan's eyes was very satisfied!

Immediately, the whole family started heading toward Biaoxue Company. Liu Lu followed as well; originally, she did not want to go—what would she go for?

Moreover, Liu Lu really had no interest in such matters.

However, since Zhang Ran said to let her go and help look after the children, she did not refuse.

But when they arrived at Biaoxue Company and the group walked in, Zhang Ran said to Zhang Sicheng, "Aren't you going to introduce the boss's wife?"

Now Liu Lu understood her father-in-law's true intention; this was to let her come and declare her status.

Zhang Sicheng was also a bit speechless, but he did not rush to introduce her; instead, he brought everyone into the office first, then brought Liu Lu out separately.

"This must be the sister-in-law, hello, hello, my name is Wang Tao." Wang Tao was the most observant; of course, he had also heard Zhang Ran's words.

Ever since that last time, Lu Xin had never appeared at the company again, and Wang Tao had not seen Zhang Sicheng and Lu Xin together either.

Added to the phone call from Zhang Ran that night, Wang Tao knew Zhang Ran's meaning, so he immediately expressed his stance.

Wang Tao now understood who the biggest backer in the entire company was; if he didn't follow the backer, who would he follow?

Liu Lu smiled and shook hands with Wang Tao.

"Let me introduce her to everyone, this is my wife, and also your boss's wife." Zhang Sicheng smiled and introduced her to the others.

Wu Ying was the first to jeer, "Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Hello, boss's wife!"

Many people had seen the matter with Lu Xin before, and some were still worried about whether Zhang Sicheng would have trouble at home; now it seemed it had all been resolved.

Liu Lu also smiled and greeted everyone, her attitude very kind.

At ten o'clock, Zhang Sicheng said to Zhang Ran, "Dad, Director Ling and the others will be here soon."

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Alright, let's prepare as well."

This negotiation was considered semi-confidential; although it could not be one hundred percent secret, what needed to be done still had to be done.

At the very least, before the results were out, Ling Hua did not want to make a big scene!

By ten-thirty, the conference room was already full of people; seeing that Zhang Ran had come in person, Ling Hua's expression changed slightly, though he understood at this moment that Zhang Ran truly valued this cooperation, which also gave him some confidence.

Zhang Ran saw the change in Ling Hua's expression, roughly guessed some of his thoughts, smiled, and said nothing.

Both sides introduced themselves first; some people were slightly distracted when they saw it was Zhang Ran who had come forward, rather than the boss of Biaoxue Company, Zhang Sicheng.

Much of the homework they had done previously was in preparation for Zhang Sicheng, and now it seemed that this homework had been in vain.

"Since everyone is already here, it shows the sincerity of both sides. I won't say any more superfluous words; I believe everyone already knows the conditions I have put forward. I wonder what thoughts you have on your side?" Zhang Ran said with a smile.

From this moment on, the negotiation officially began; as for what the final result would be, given Zhang Ran's personality, it would likely be decided today.

As for negotiating for ten days or half a month, Zhang Ran did not have that patience, a point Ling Hua was well aware of, otherwise Zhang Ran would not have made that phone call.
