Chapter 352: 348. Zhang Ran's Domineering (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)
Seeing Zhang Ran's attitude, someone immediately tried to smooth things over: "Mr. Zhang, please don't be angry. Aren't big matters like this supposed to be discussed?"
"The matter hasn't been settled yet, and for you to say it like that, it's not very appropriate."
Zhang Ran glanced at him and said coldly, "Who said I wanted to discuss this with you?"
"I'm telling you all, there must be a result today. I will state my conditions; if you agree, then we cooperate, and if you don't, then forget it."
Having said that, Zhang Ran ignored the expressions of the others and said directly, "First, starting tomorrow, there must be an exchange regarding the merger matters with Dahe Express."
"Second, the current decision-making power of Fengli Group is too scattered. Once the merger is complete, I hope to centralize that power."
As he spoke, Zhang Ran sneered, "I don't hope to solve every little thing by holding meetings, and once a meeting starts, it takes ten days or half a month. If you act like this, you won't even get to eat hot shit."
Zhang Ran's words were completely unceremonious and displayed his domineering nature. From this moment on, everyone truly saw Zhang Ran's attitude clearly.
If they couldn't reach an agreement this time, then there was really no need to talk.
Zhang Ran's attitude was secondary; the main thing was that the conditions Zhang Ran put forward were somewhat unacceptable to them.
"Heh, Zhang Ran, you've finally shown your fangs, haven't you?" Wen Jing suddenly spoke up at this moment.
"Everyone, do you see? This is the so-called cooperation you wanted. A merger? What a joke. He, Zhang Ran, just wants to swallow you all up. Do you still hold any expectations now?"
"Look at how he, Zhang Ran, treats Dahe Express. Meng He is probably just a puppet in Dahe Express now. Are you willing to be like that?" Wen Jing said loudly.
Hearing his words, the expressions of the crowd changed one after another. They all looked at Zhang Ran involuntarily, as if the situation were really as Wen Jing described.
Meng He really seemed to have no decision-making power at Dahe Express anymore; otherwise, Zhang Ran wouldn't be the one stepping forward now.
If that were really the case, then...
Zhang Ran looked coldly at this representative from Galaxy Capital as he spoke, his eyes showing no fluctuation.
"Zhang Ran, what else do you have to say?" Wen Jing demanded.
Zhang Ran suddenly said, "Your name is Wen Jing, right? You think I'm bound to lose? Working so hard for Mu Jinyuan, are you sure Mu Jinyuan can protect you?"
Wen Jing sneered, "I don't know what you mean. Don't try to change the subject."
Zhang Ran's expression calmed down, and he said softly, "Do you believe that if I take out just a little something right now to make Mu Jinyuan return some things, he would definitely be one hundred percent willing?"
"The people I, Zhang Ran, want to move against have never been stopped by anyone to this day. Didn't Mu Jinyuan tell you that his son was sunk into a cesspit by me? Do you see him daring to let out a single fart?"
Wen Jing's expression suddenly changed. He really didn't know about this matter, but looking at Zhang Ran's expression, it didn't seem like he was bluffing.
"Don't you fucking talk nonsense. Xiaoyuan is still in Hong Kong. Also, what is your motive for slandering Mr. Mu like this?" Wen Jing shouted.
The others on the side were no longer speaking, each of them staring wide-eyed at this scene.
From the beginning, they had suspected that there was some conflict between Galaxy Capital and Zhang Ran. Now it seemed they were right, and the conflict didn't seem small.
Zhang Ran had even sunk Mu Jinyuan's son into a cesspit; this was definitely not something that could be explained by minor grudges.
But some people couldn't understand why Galaxy Capital would still invest in Dahe Express under these circumstances.
Could it be that some conflict broke out within Dahe Express?
But it shouldn't go this far, right?
Zhang Ran coldly swept a glance at Wen Jing, "I slandered him? Is he worthy?"
Looking at the disdain in Zhang Ran's eyes, Wen Jing was truly stunned. He knew some of the situation, but not the whole story.
"You stay put and behave yourself now. You can speak for the interests you represent; that is understandable. But if you keep spreading rumors and causing trouble, don't blame me for taking action against a pawn like you once the final result is out," Zhang Ran said coldly.
He then ignored Wen Jing and looked at the people in the room, saying, "Make your choice now."
At this moment, Zhang Ran fully displayed his domineering nature!
Some people had anger in their eyes, but seeing Wen Jing stunned and not daring to make a sound, they didn't know what to say either.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you. Yesterday I talked with the city. The city also supports this merger. Of course, the conditions are the same as what I said."
"Supporting a scattered Fengli Group is not as good for the city as supporting other internet companies."
"You can retain your equity, but decision-making power needs to be centralized."
Zhang Ran's words hit the hearts of the crowd like a heavy hammer. Had he already negotiated with Lin'an City?
How could this be?
And it looked like the city was prepared to fully support Zhang Ran's merger plan?
"Give the decision-making power to whom? You? We invested so much money, and we can only be idle shareholders?" someone said angrily.
Clearly, he could not accept such terms.
"The decision-making power will be handed to the management team. You laymen should not interfere in professional matters," Zhang Ran said indifferently.
"Of course, if anyone is unwilling, I can buy back your shares. The price can be at a premium."
"Ahem, there's no need to trouble Mr. Zhang with that. Our company can handle the buyback," Zhao Lifeng suddenly spoke up.
He then looked at the crowd and said, "I believe everyone can see the situation this time. If you all disagree, then I have no other choice, but from now on, everyone can spend their main time on fighting for power and profit. Once this merger fails, I will no longer let things develop like this."
"When the time comes, we will see who is stronger. As for the company's interests? We'll talk about that after we're done here."
At this moment, Zhao Lifeng knew it was the best time. If he didn't get tougher, there would really be no chance left.
The meaning of Zhao Lifeng's words was very clear: if you don't agree this time, then he, Zhao Lifeng, and his management team won't do anything else but fight for power and profit with you, engaging in internal strife.
At worst, we'll all go down together!
Because Zhao Lifeng knew that once this opportunity was missed, there would be no next time.
The crowd looked at Zhao Lifeng and found his eyes full of determination. It was success or nothing this time!
Once you choose not to compromise, don't even think about the company making money later. You'll be lucky if you don't lose money.
Zhao Lifeng wasn't without preparations, so he wasn't worried about being removed from his position as Chairman just like that.
