Chapter 331: 327. Ling Hua's Courage (Seeking subscriptions, monthly tickets!)

Ling Hua organized his thoughts and said, "Mr. Zhang, we at Weiteng are very willing to cooperate with Biaoxue Company, but there is one point: we don't even know what the specific game is right now, and that's a bit problematic, isn't it?"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "The game is already finished. I can show it to you at any time, and it can be launched at any time."

Hearing Zhang Ran's words, the people from Weiteng all had expectant looks in their eyes; they wanted to see exactly what this game Zhang Ran spoke of was like.

"Can you let us take a look first?" someone asked impatiently.

Zhang Ran said, "There's no rush for that. Let's wait until we reach an agreement on the cooperation. In any case, the game won't run away while it's here. Rest assured, you will see the game before the contract is officially signed. If you are not satisfied by then, we can discuss other things."

"This time, we can also consider it a Valuation Bet Agreement. As long as we meet your requirements, you must unconditionally hand over Dingdang Net to us."

Of course, although it is said this way, the money that should be paid still has to be paid; it is just a question of how much.

Hearing Zhang Ran say this, Ling Hua's eyes began to flicker. Zhang Ran's focus on Dingdang Net had made him feel wary for some time now, and he had begun to guess what Zhang Ran was planning to do.

"Mr. Zhang, how about this? We can pay to purchase this game, and as you said, we can follow a Valuation Bet Agreement."

Ling Hua continued, "If the number of registered users reaches five million, we can offer a price of fifty million."

"If the number of registered users reaches ten million, we will offer a price of two hundred million. If the number of registered users can truly reach one hundred million, we can offer up to one billion!"

"Of course, there are prerequisites for this, which is that the game's concurrent user count must also meet certain requirements."

This was Ling Hua's current thought; he did not want to sell Dingdang Net anymore!

Zhang Sicheng, Siyan, and the others all stared at Ling Hua in a daze. In their view, these conditions were much better than the ones Zhang Ran had proposed, at least on the surface.

One must know that the condition Zhang Ran mentioned earlier was for Dingdang Net, but it also required money to buy it, and it required certain conditions to be met.

Yet, what Ling Hua was saying now was direct payment, without needing to meet so many conditions.

Before they could react, they heard Ling Hua say again, "Moreover, if we buy it, we will also cooperate with Biaoxue Company. We will take the lead, but Biaoxue Company can participate throughout the entire process and have a certain degree of say."

Zhang Sicheng fell silent; he did not know what to say.

At this moment, he was indeed somewhat tempted, but he also knew that his father had his own considerations regarding this matter, so he should just listen obediently.

Zhang Ran laughed after hearing these words from Ling Hua. It seemed this guy had also realized it; actually, what he was doing was quite obvious, so it was no surprise he had caught on.

Even though Ling Hua offered such conditions, Zhang Ran still shook his head and said, "I only have my eyes on your Dingdang Net, or rather, I have my eyes on your customers. This money has no appeal to me. If Chairman Ling is planning this, then there is no need for us to continue talking."

Zhang Ran's attitude was also very firm: he wanted their Dingdang Net, and nothing else.

As for money?

He, Zhang Ran, was not short of money!

Seeing Zhang Ran's attitude was so resolute, Ling Hua sighed and said, "Mr. Zhang, you spoke about the importance of the internet ecosystem last time. Now you want us to cut off our own ecosystem; isn't that a bit excessive?"

During this time, Ling Hua had thoroughly figured it out: Zhang Ran simply wanted to cut off the potential of their Weiteng in the online shopping market.

Right now, their Dingdang Net was indeed not much, but it was still decent, and there was no guarantee it wouldn't have the possibility of growing and strengthening in the future.

Plus, with the traffic diversion from other departments in their company, the hope of making it big later was still quite high.

Yet Zhang Ran wanted to completely cut off this hope.

Another point was that Ling Hua felt Zhang Ran actually had other purposes, but this purpose was hidden too deep, and he could not figure out what it was no matter how he thought about it.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Excessive? Why do I feel it's not excessive at all? If I were being excessive, I would make it so you couldn't enter the online shopping market in the future, at least for five years, but I haven't even proposed such a condition."

"If you can crush Shengcheng, the profit brought to you by the gaming industry alone will be very considerable, and you can also continue to invest capital into the online shopping market."

"Perhaps by then, with more sufficient funds and a stable rear guard, you could even be a latecomer who surpasses the rest."

Zhang Ran's words seemed to make sense, but Ling Hua always felt something was wrong.

Finally, Ling Hua said faintly, "Will Mr. Zhang give us that time?"

Zhang Ran said, "That depends on your own ability, and besides, what if my plan this time fails?"

Zhang Ran did not hide anything anymore; since things had reached this point, there was no need to hide it, and he believed Ling Hua should have figured it out as well.

"Mr. Zhang, I have another proposal. I wonder if you are interested?" Ling Hua took a deep breath and said again.

"What proposal?" Zhang Ran was a bit curious.

"I can hand over Dingdang Net to you completely. You can inject capital into Dingdang Net, and we can even give up the controlling stake of Dingdang Net. We at Weiteng Group will also fully support you. Mr. Zhang, how about you set aside Fengli and cooperate with us instead?" Ling Hua said in a deep voice.

Zhang Ran did not expect Ling Hua to have such an idea, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he laughed dismissively: "Chairman Ling, I don't know what you are thinking, but do you feel that you can compare to Fengli in the online shopping market?"

"Indeed, we are certainly not as good as Fengli in this regard, but we also have our advantages, which is that we can give up the controlling stake, or even the management rights."

"If Dahe Express were to merge into our Weiteng, we could even let Dahe Express participate in the management and operation of the entire Weiteng Group," Ling Hua said.

Once these words were out, both the people from Biaoxue Company and those from Weiteng looked at Ling Hua in disbelief.

Ling Hua had never discussed such conditions with the people from Weiteng before!

Ling Hua ignored their gazes; he was gambling!

Zhang Ran also did not expect Ling Hua to have such courage, but in the end, he still shook his head and said, "Sorry, this has nothing to do with management rights. Or do you think I am a person who is greedy for power?"

Zhang Ran did not say any extra words. It was impossible for Zhang Ran to choose Weiteng in this regard; he would only choose Fengli, not just because of the online shopping market, and even less just because of Huang Lin.

Zhang Ran also had his own considerations. The reason he went directly to Zhao Lifeng during the Internet Conference was a decision made after considering everything clearly; it was not something a Dingdang Net could change.
