Chapter 333: 329. Zhuo Fan's Confidence (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)
While Zhang Ran was taking action here for his own plans, the others were not idle either; upon learning that Zhang Ran intended to have Dahe Express merge directly into Fengli Group, Huang Lin also became nervous.
Although this allowed Huang Lin to know Zhang Ran's goal, it simultaneously brought him immense pressure.
Previously, he had no idea what Zhang Ran would actually do, leaving him feeling uncertain and eager to know Zhang Ran's moves.
But when he truly found out, Huang Lin felt an oppressive pressure sweeping over him, even though Zhang Ran was only in the initial preparation stage now.
And the fact that these initial preparations involved merging two major companies was something that remained shocking even to Huang Lin as he saw it now.
"Meng He..." Huang Lin silently recited this name in his heart; Meng He's loyalty to Zhang Ran once again exceeded his expectations—no, it should be said it exceeded everyone's expectations.
Huang Lin could be considered someone who joined Zhang Ran's team halfway, and one could even say he was forced to join; after joining, he spent most of his time helping Zhang Ran manage Huamei and did not spend much time with Zhang Ran, so even now, he found it hard to understand Meng He's actions.
"Lao Huang, should we notify them?" Cheng Mei said from the side, referring to people like Zhuo Fan.
Huang Lin said, "Of course we must tell them. Zhang Ran's next target is us, and we also need their support."
Previously, Huang Lin still had some confidence in facing Zhang Ran alone, but Tian Yaohui's rapid collapse and the news that Dahe Express and Fengli Group were about to merge left his confidence far less sufficient than before.
"Aren't you afraid that another Meng He will appear among them?" Cheng Mei asked.
"I am afraid, but so what? If someone really has such intentions, then no matter what, they won't reveal it right now. We have been too cautious; we cannot go on like this, otherwise we will truly be picked off one by one by Zhang Ran," Huang Lin said.
"Furthermore, I fear that Zhang Ran is also accumulating strength. Once he achieves a certain goal, he likely won't continue to... play around like this anymore."
Finally, Huang Lin used the word "play"!
Seeing that Huang Lin had made up his mind, Cheng Mei did not say anything more on this matter. "I have already communicated with Lao Lin and the others; they guarantee they won't cause trouble for us at the final moment."
Huang Lin nodded, which made him breathe a slight sigh of relief. He already felt immense pressure now; if his rear were not stabilized, it would truly be difficult for him!
Eight o'clock in the evening, in a video conference.
Huang Lin, Zhuo Fan, Zhang Kaichao, Li Yiting...
All these people appeared on the screen.
"Lao Huang, speak up, what is the matter for which you called us? Did you discover something?" Zhuo Fan asked first while picking his teeth, looking as if he had just finished eating.
The others also looked at Huang Lin; since they were appearing together, it must be because of Zhang Ran's affairs.
Huang Lin nodded and said, "You all know that I previously declared war on Zhang Ran, right?"
"I know. I have to say, this is the point where I admire you, Lao Huang; you really have guts," Zhuo Fan said with a laugh, clapping his hands, looking like a loafer.
Huang Lin frowned and did not speak.
But Cheng Mei could not stand it. She looked at Zhuo Fan and said, "Zhuo Fan, don't act like you don't care every single time. Who are you putting on a show for? Do you think you're truly sitting secure in your high position? If you don't want to get involved, no one is forcing you to come."
Zhuo Fan did not care about Cheng Mei's outburst and said with a chuckle, "Call it an act if you want; in any case, I really don't care."
As he spoke, Zhuo Fan said disdainfully, "If Zhang Ran has the ability, let him come take a walk in the supermarket market; when the time comes, I'll make him regret it."
"Don't look at what the supermarket market is like now; it's no longer the days of just a few small players. Who among those who can occupy a place in this market today doesn't have some capital behind them?"
"It's not that easy for Zhang Ran to squeeze in, and I'm actually looking forward to Zhang Ran coming in. When that happens, I'll let him know that the times have changed, the market has changed, and I am no longer the person I was back then!"
Zhuo Fan spoke with great momentum; this was exactly what he thought in his heart.
Zhuo Fan did not know what the others were thinking, nor did he want to know, but he really only had one worry regarding Zhang Ran: the previous matter concerning shares. As for the rest, he did not care at all.
Their supermarket was not built relying on just a single product. If Zhang Ran wanted to deal with him the way he dealt with Yaotian Pharmaceutical, then he could only tell Zhang Ran that he was overthinking it!
Hearing Zhuo Fan's words, everyone remained silent. Many actually envied Zhuo Fan; indeed, in their view, there was truly no need to worry much about Zhuo Fan's Fengchao Supermarket.
However, just at this moment, Huang Lin spoke faintly, "Dahe Express is going to merge with Fengli Group."
Once these words were spoken, the scene immediately went quiet, and even the confident-looking Zhuo Fan stared at the screen in disbelief.
This news was still a trade secret; it was Galaxy Capital that had gone out of its way to tell Huang Lin about this matter.
Moreover, Galaxy Capital was taking a risk; once what they had done was exposed, they would not have an easy time either.
This was company confidential information; how could you just tell it to someone else?
And it was their company's next opponent, which would cause them a lot of trouble. Of course, if they pushed out a scapegoat, there would be no major issues on the surface, but behind the scenes, it would certainly still have an impact on them.
Thus, one could also see some of the situation regarding Galaxy Capital from this.
"That Meng He is truly insane!" Zhuo Fan could not help but curse after coming back to his senses.
If this wasn't insanity, what was it?
Merging the entire Dahe Express into Fengli Group?
This was something they had never expected.
Furthermore, in terms of company scale, Dahe Express was inferior to Fengli Group, and in terms of personal ability, the gap was even more obvious.
They all knew this, so it was very clear that once the merger took place, the two companies would definitely be led by Fengli Group.
What was Meng He aiming for?
Giving away the company he had single-handedly controlled just like that for nothing?
Some people, in addition to their shock, quickly regained their composure; they all stared intently at Huang Lin on the screen.
This move by Zhang Ran made them instantly think of his next move; it was clearly aimed at Huamei.
This was to compete with Huamei from online, which was also the most concise way. There was no extra market left in the current offline home appliance market for Zhang Ran to re-enter.
If Zhang Ran wanted to take down Huamei, he could only do it from online; it was clear that this was exactly what Zhang Ran was doing!
Added to the fact that Huang Lin had previously declared war on Zhang Ran, the situation was already very clear.
At the same time, some people could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
