Chapter 337: 333. The Zhang Ran System Exposed! (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

"President Li, could you tell us about the situation? To be honest, I am truly curious. I believe many people know the great name of Yaotian Pharmaceutical; it has a market value of over a hundred billion and is a physical enterprise, so why did such a huge change happen in such a short time?"

"Is there any inside story here? And why did Chairman Tian Yaohui end up in prison? Are there any secrets hidden within this?" Ning Yu asked with a look of anticipation.

This was also the curiosity in her heart; although she already knew a little bit from the script, it was not enough to satisfy her curiosity at all.

She also believed that as long as Li Yiting explained the situation clearly, the ratings for this episode of Big Shot's Appointment would be absolutely astonishing!

This was also something she was looking forward to.

However, the words that followed from Li Yiting left her momentarily dazed, even though she had already prepared herself mentally.

Li Yiting chuckled and said, "There really are many things involved here, and many secrets as well, but it is not as complicated as many netizens have speculated. To put it bluntly, it is actually just a matter of one sentence."

"What sentence?" Ning Yu pressed.

"The change in Yaotian Pharmaceutical this time was merely an internal struggle. It is an internal corporate issue, not as complicated as everyone imagined. I'm even impressed by the netizens' imagination, being able to come up with smuggling," Li Yiting said with a chuckle.

"Internal struggle? But as far as I know, Yaotian Pharmaceutical has always been under the control of former Chairman Tian Yaohui, and it has achieved good results over these years.

Also, I remember that the current Chairman, Feng Hui, was just a senior executive before. His father's shares were far less than Chairman Tian Yaohui's. Did he compete against Chairman Tian Yaohui?

Is there something else behind this?"

Li Yiting gathered his thoughts and said, "Of course there is, otherwise how do you think Tian Yaohui fell?

No matter what, Tian Yaohui had managed Yaotian Pharmaceutical for thirty years; it wouldn't have been that easy for him to fall."

Ning Yu said with an excited tone, "Then, President Li, can you enlighten us? I am truly very curious about how many things are hidden in this."

Li Yiting smiled and said, "You have only focused your eyes on the single enterprise of Yaotian Pharmaceutical, so what you see is not comprehensive.

The matter with Yaotian Pharmaceutical this time is not just their internal affair."

"But didn't you say earlier, President Li, that it was an internal competition?" Ning Yu asked, puzzled.

"Yes, it is indeed an internal competition, but did I say it was an internal competition of Yaotian Pharmaceutical?" Li Yiting countered.

Ning Yu didn't know what to say for a moment; if it wasn't an internal competition of Yaotian Pharmaceutical, then what was it?

"This is just an internal competition of the Zhang Ran System, and not just a matter of Yaotian Pharmaceutical." Li Yiting finally brought up the name 'Zhang Ran System' again.

"Zhang Ran System? What is that?" Ning Yu asked, confused.

She really didn't know this; although the name appeared on the script, it didn't explain anything.

However, Li Yiting then gave her an explanation, "Everyone actually knows that we in the business world have small groups, which can be considered huddling together for warmth, or you could say like-minded people gathering together, such as the Chaoshan Clique, the Yangtze River Clique, and so on."

Upon hearing this explanation, Ning Yu was stunned; this shouldn't have appeared on her face at this moment, but she couldn't help it.

"You mean... this Zhang Ran System is the same as the Chaoshan Clique? But why have we never heard of it before?" Ning Yu asked with an excited tone.

"That is because the people in the Zhang Ran System are all very low-key, or rather, the leader is very low-key—so low-key that even many people in the business world don't know that this business group exists," Li Yiting chuckled.

Indeed, Zhang Ran was truly too low-key, so low-key that it made people like them feel a chill just thinking about it.

"Zhang Ran System? Why is it called that name? I can understand names like the Chaoshan Clique or the Yangtze River Clique, so what is the deal with this Zhang Ran System?" Ning Yu took a few deep breaths to suppress the shock in her heart.

But Li Yiting's next words left her stunned and dazed once again.

"That is because the leader of this business group is named Zhang Ran; it was a business group created by him single-handedly, so it is called the Zhang Ran System," Li Yiting said.

"Also, I know what you want to ask: why are other business groups not named after their leaders? That is because those business groups are just loose mutual aid associations, places for everyone to communicate.

But the Zhang Ran System is different. The people within the Zhang Ran System basically take Zhang Ran as their lead; his prestige here is very high.

Moreover, the Zhang Ran System is different from other business groups because Zhang Ran has a certain degree of control over all members of the Zhang Ran System, which is something other business groups cannot compare to at all." Li Yiting was truly dropping bombshells!

Ning Yu didn't know what to say; she had considered herself knowledgeable enough about the Huaxia business world over these years, but now Li Yiting's words seemed to have refreshed her worldview.

She wanted to ask more, but the director's voice came through her earpiece, and she immediately adjusted herself, steering the topic back.

"Then do you mean that Yaotian Pharmaceutical belongs to the Zhang Ran System?" Ning Yu asked.

"Yes, that is also the reason why I said earlier that the Yaotian Pharmaceutical matter was just an internal competition."

"Then can you tell us which other enterprises belong to this Zhang Ran System business group?" Ning Yu asked immediately after.

This was also the curiosity in her heart; this so-called Zhang Ran System was too mysterious, appearing for the first time by turning the world upside down with a behemoth like Yaotian Pharmaceutical.

Li Yiting smiled and said, "Let me start with two; they don't want to be exposed too much, and I'm afraid of offending people if I say the wrong thing."

"President Li is joking; these are just normal business inside stories," Ning Yu said with a smile.

"Hehe." Li Yiting chuckled without saying much more; if it weren't for Zhang Ran forcing them until they could barely breathe, who knows when the name 'Zhang Ran System' would have resurfaced?

"You know Dahe Express, right?" Li Yiting said.

"Of course I know that; I use Dahe Express every time I buy something online," Ning Yu said with a smile.

Then she reacted, saying in disbelief, "Dahe Express also belongs to the Zhang Ran System?"

"Yes," Li Yiting said briefly.

With just two enterprises, Ning Yu knew that her previous guess that the Zhang Ran System might just be a small business group was wrong.

"Then what about the other one?" She remembered that Li Yiting had said he would mention two enterprises.

"The other one is Fengli Group; I believe Host Ning should be even more familiar with this one, right?" Li Yiting threw Fengli Group out as well.

Even if Fengli Group wasn't part of the Zhang Ran System before, it would be after the merger with Dahe Express.

This time, Ning Yu was truly speechless; she was shocked beyond measure, yet also incredibly excited. She knew she had truly interviewed a big news story, an absolute big news story, the kind that could blow up the internet.

And what Li Yiting said earlier about this person whose name she was hearing for the first time—Zhang Ran!

Zhang Ran has a certain degree of control over all companies in the Zhang Ran System; how much is this 'certain degree'?

Is this really just a loose business group?

Ning Yu became more excited the more she thought about it!

She also began to look forward to the ratings of the upcoming program and the influence it would create!
