Chapter 351: 347. The Greed of the Human Heart (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

Early the next morning, after Zhang Ran finished breakfast, he thought for a moment and said to He Yong, "Take Taotao and Susu to the amusement park to play; I'll come find you once I'm done here."

Upon hearing this, He Yong immediately said anxiously, "Brother Zhang, this time there's Galaxy Capital..."

"What are you thinking? Why do I feel like you've developed some persecution mania? This is Huaxia. Alright, that's it," Zhang Ran said, speechless.

He Yong fell silent. In truth, he was just looking for an excuse; he really didn't want to accompany the two little ones. For no other reason than that he didn't know how to get along with them, let alone what to do, and felt somewhat at a loss.

Ten o'clock, Fengli Group headquarters.

Zhao Lifeng looked at the people who had already arrived and said, "Today is the last day. If everyone still can't reach a conclusion, then this matter will be dropped."

"Old Zhao, don't say that. How can such a big matter be settled just by saying so?"

"That's right, Chairman Zhao. Which time has such a matter not required two or three months, or even half a year to a year, of careful analysis and discussion?

Isn't it a bit too rushed for you to be like this now? And is there some other purpose for Zhang Ran being so urgent on his side?"

"Although I agree with the cooperation, I also feel that this is a bit rushed, and since Zhang Ran is so anxious, the longer we drag it out, the more advantageous it is for us."

Hearing the voices of the crowd, a look of mockery could not help but appear in Zhao Lifeng's eyes.

Yes, for such major events, it is normal for many large companies to discuss them for two or three months, and even half a year or a year is not unheard of.

But those people have a stable rear and are making preparations to reopen markets.

And what about their Fengli Group?

No matter what the matter is, they have to drag it out; they like to drag it out, as if only in this way can they demonstrate their right to speak.

Moreover, they are currently competing for the future market. The e-commerce platform scene is in turmoil right now; who knows what will happen in the next moment?

Everyone knows that there are a bit too many e-commerce platforms now, and it cannot be allowed to continue like this; it must undergo a major integration.

After these people finished speaking, Zhao Lifeng said expressionlessly, "Mr. Zhang has already arrived. Today is the final day; whether there is a result or not depends on today."

Having said that, he ignored the surprised looks of the others and immediately signaled for someone nearby to invite Zhang Ran over.

"Old Zhao, why didn't you say anything?"

"That's right, why didn't you tell us about this in advance?"

Before Zhang Ran had arrived, some people spoke up one after another, their tones full of complaints.

Zhao Lifeng said indifferently, "I only found out just now when Mr. Zhang arrived."

Saying this, he stopped talking; in any case, no one knew his phone calls with Zhang Ran.

Not long after, Zhang Ran arrived. Looking at the crowd, he said with a chuckle, "Yo, everyone's here?"

As the crowd looked at Zhang Ran, a strange look flashed in the eyes of some; it was their first time seeing Zhang Ran.

Many of them didn't even really understand Zhang Ran's true situation.

Zhang Ran didn't care that they hadn't replied; he walked straight to the conference table, sat down directly opposite Zhao Lifeng, looked at everyone, and said, "I came here this time to ask about the intentions of Fengli Group. Is there any point in you dragging things out like this?"

"Mr.... Mr. Zhang, for such a big matter, are we not allowed to discuss it for a few days? And isn't what you're doing a bit too hasty?" someone frowned and said.

Everyone had originally thought Zhang Ran would say a few polite words to brush it off, but who knew Zhang Ran would say: "I really don't allow you to discuss it anymore. You must give me an answer now: cooperate or not? There must be a result today."

"Zhang Ran, is this an attitude of cooperation? We are partners, not your subordinates," someone rebuked angrily.

This manner of Zhang Ran's, not putting them in his eyes, really made them feel stifled.

"Partners? No, you aren't yet," Zhang Ran said coldly.

Seeing this scene, Wen Jing felt secretly happy. If Zhang Ran offended everyone here himself, then he wouldn't need to step in to stir things up. That would be best.

"To be honest, it's not that I look down on you, but for this little matter, you discuss it back and forth, endlessly, right? If you can't do it, I'll switch to another company," Zhang Ran said.

Once these words were out, the crowd didn't speak again. They didn't know if Zhang Ran was serious or faking it, but they couldn't let Zhang Ran actually say the words about switching to another company.

Once said, even if it were fake, it would become real.

Someone said to ease the atmosphere: "Mr. Zhang, don't be too anxious. We are truly still discussing the current situation, and merging with Dahe Express is not something that can be completed overnight.

We need a complete and effective plan to carry out this merger; we can't let such a good thing turn into a bad thing."

Zhang Ran said: "According to what you mean, you agree to the merger?"

"This..." This person stopped talking. In his heart, he did indeed want to merge, but he couldn't represent everyone; there were still some dissenting voices here.

Also, he didn't want to complete the merger so quickly. They always felt that there must be a reason why Zhang Ran was so anxious, and they wanted to take the opportunity to see if they could demand more benefits, for example... control over Dahe Express?

"Zhang Ran, what exactly is your purpose? Being so anxious to have us merge, isn't that a bit inappropriate?" someone demanded.

"Right, and Dahe Express is clearly taking advantage of our Fengli Group. We can't interfere in the affairs of Dahe Express, but Dahe Express can interfere in our affairs. Calling this a merger is more like an annexation."

Zhang Ran's aggressive attitude just now had an effect; at the very least, these people started to voice their own demands.

In fact, the main reason these people wanted to drag it out was to get more benefits.

After all, Zhang Ran was anxious, but they were not.

The more anxious Zhang Ran was, the better; that way they could occupy a dominant position in the cooperation and then demand more benefits.

"So you were complaining that the benefits were too few and wanted more? You should have said so earlier," Zhang Ran suddenly said with a chuckle.

Just when everyone thought Zhang Ran was going to compromise, Zhang Ran continued with a chuckle: "Since you all dislike Dahe Express and think Dahe Express is taking advantage, then Dahe Express won't merge. We'll just cooperate. That should be fine, right?"

Once these words were out, the expressions of the crowd changed one after another. Looking at Zhang Ran, they found that although there was a smile on his face, there was not the slightest intention of joking.

"Zhang Ran, what do you mean by this? Going back on your word?" someone said in a rage.

"Going back on my word? A joke. Wasn't it you who said just now that Dahe Express wanted to annex you?

Now I'm not planning to merge anymore, so how did it become going back on my word? I should be helping you eliminate the worries in your hearts," Zhang Ran said with a sneer.

Zhang Ran knew exactly what purpose this group of people had, and he didn't hold back at all when speaking now.
