Chapter 349: 345. I Want to Move Against Huamei and Fengchao (Please Subscribe, Monthly Tickets!)

"Then what kind of support do you want?" Tu Guojian asked.

"Regarding the handling of internal matters at Fengli Group, I hope Lin'an can step forward. It doesn't need to be a direct intervention, but a clear stance is required," Zhang Ran said.

Tu Guojian pondered, "That is somewhat difficult to handle; we cannot interfere in the internal affairs of enterprises."

"There is no need to interfere directly, but a stance needs to be indicated, and this also aligns with the interests of Lin'an.

If Fengli Group remains a scattered mess, then there is no need for Lin'an to provide support."

"Moreover, if this matter can be resolved and Lin'an provides the corresponding conditions, the relocation of the Dahe Express headquarters is not something that cannot be discussed," Zhang Ran threw out a piece of bait.

Once these words were spoken, Tu Guojian truly could not hold back, "Are these words true?"

"How would I dare to deceive a leader," Zhang Ran laughed.

Tu Guojian looked toward Meng Mingxuan, only to find that Meng Mingxuan showed no reaction at all, as if Dahe Express were not his family's enterprise.

"This is not enough." Who would have thought Tu Guojian would suddenly say this, leaving Zhang Ran stunned for a moment; even Meng Mingxuan looked at Tu Guojian with disbelief—was his appetite this big?

Tu Guojian laughed: "Don't misunderstand. I meant that what we in Lin'an are offering is far from enough to match your contribution. Tell me, what else do you want?"

"As expected of a leader, nothing can be hidden from my little schemes," Zhang Ran said with a smile.

Meng Mingxuan looked at Zhang Ran; it was the first time he had seen Zhang Ran have such a side.

Tu Guojian said speechlessly: "Alright, stop playing word games with me. If you have conditions, just say them directly, and we will discuss whether they are acceptable."

Zhang Ran said in a deep voice: "The reason I want to integrate Fengli and Dahe is that I have my own plans and am preparing to make some small moves, so I hope to receive some due support here in Lin'an, at the very least to help me withstand some pressure."

Originally, Zhang Ran really hadn't intended to let Lin'an get involved, but since the conversation had reached this point, he stopped overthinking it; besides, these were normal commercial matters.

It was just a request for some support.

"What kind of 'small moves'?" Tu Guojian was also a bit curious; he wanted to know what Zhang Ran intended to do by orchestrating such a massive affair.

Zhang Ran's next sentence left him dumbfounded; he couldn't remember how many years it had been since such a situation had occurred to him.

"I want to move against Huamei and Fengchao." Zhang Ran did not hide it anymore, even revealing his plan to start Fengchao Supermarket.

"Huamei Electric? Fengchao Supermarket?" Tu Guojian was left speechless.

Zhang Ran nodded without speaking.

"You call this a 'small move'?" Tu Guojian regained his composure and couldn't help but say. He now had the urge to beat Zhang Ran to death; how the hell was this a small move?

Zhang Ran laughed: "It's not as big as the leader imagines; it really is just some small moves."

"Heh heh." Tu Guojian only chuckled twice, then fell into deep thought.

He quickly realized why Zhang Ran insisted on integrating these two enterprises; this was to fight a decisive battle against Huamei online.

"Mr. Zhang, I really cannot agree to this matter. Do you know how many people will be affected if something happens to Huamei? Do you know how many employees they have? And how many families these employees represent?" Tu Guojian had his own considerations; in his position, he needed to put the public interest first, not the interests of an enterprise.

Zhang Ran smiled lightly: "Of course I know."

"You know, and yet you still want to move against Huamei? Let alone whether you can win, just consider that once something happens to Huamei, the higher-ups might choose to intervene.

This is not a simple competitive relationship between two enterprises. If it were just two similar enterprises competing, we could ignore it; after all, even if one fails, it would just be acquired, and the employees would still have their jobs.

But this is a battle between online and offline. Once the impact is too widespread, there will be no good outcome. Mr. Zhang, you are being too impatient," Tu Guojian said seriously.

Zhang Ran said: "Leader, don't be anxious. I said it really is just small moves, not big ones, because I don't intend to kill them off. No matter how the times develop, at the very least, there won't be any major changes in the offline sector within the next fifty years.

I just need them to concede. As for the rest, after this action, everything will return to normal. This is just our struggle and will not affect any rank-and-file employees."

Hearing this from Zhang Ran, Tu Guojian's eyes flickered, "Is Huamei also part of the Zhang Ran System?"

Zhang Ran just smiled and said nothing; there were some things that could be said, and some things Zhang Ran did not want to say.

However, seeing his demeanor, Tu Guojian understood something. Suppressing the shock in his heart, he finally took a deep breath and said, "I will give you an answer tonight."

"Then I will trouble you, leader. Should I order takeout for all the leaders? This doesn't count as bribery, right?" Zhang Ran laughed.

Originally, Zhang Ran was just being polite, but he didn't expect Tu Guojian to nod and say: "Then I will trouble you, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Ran looked at Tu Guojian and suddenly laughed; this leader was also an interesting person!

Zhang Ran didn't say anything more and left Tu Guojian's office directly. After they left, Tu Guojian instructed the secretary who entered: "Have the standing committee members and the heads of each department come over for a meeting—an emergency meeting. Tell them that unless it is something extremely urgent, put it aside and come over."

The secretary was curious about what Zhang Ran and the boss had discussed inside; why did the boss seem to have an air of excitement, agitation, and a trace of anxiety?

He had never seen such complex emotions on the boss before, but he knew what should be asked and what should not. He nodded and went out to notify them.

After leaving, Zhang Ran dialed Zhao Lifeng's number, believing that he must be waiting anxiously.

Sure enough, the call was answered as soon as it rang, "Mr. Zhang, how did the talk go?"

Zhang Ran laughed: "No major problems, but you should postpone the meeting until tomorrow. The results won't be out until tonight."

"If there are no accidents, Lin'an will fully support Fengli Group by then. I believe that with Lin'an's support, Fengli will develop even better.

As for the banks, Lin'an will step forward to resolve that. If they cannot resolve it, I will also step in to mediate. You don't need to worry about this."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang," Zhao Lifeng said after a long silence.

"No need to thank me. Your main task now is to clear up the internal problems within Fengli Group and also prepare for the merger with Dahe Express," Zhang Ran said calmly.
