Chapter 435: 431. A Deathbed Struggle (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

It was only the second day of the National Day holiday, but the great battle between Maikai Supermarket and Fengchao Supermarket was becoming increasingly intense; in fact, after Maikai Supermarket joined forces with Fengli Group and Dahe Express to carry out a series of actions, it had already gained a clear advantage.

At this time, the internal situation at Fengchao was also somewhat unstable, a point that Zhuo Fan felt even more acutely.

Zhuo Fan did not know at this moment that Qi Guanghuan had already defected to Zhang Ran, but he knew that the hearts of the people within the company had already begun to waver.

Zhuo Fan truly had not expected that Zhang Ran would actually make a move against him, and that it would be so fast, accurate, and ruthless!

At this moment, he also saw Zhang Ran's previous actions completely clearly; this was not targeting Huamei, but targeting their Fengchao!

He regretted that he had previously firmly believed Zhang Ran would not come into the supermarket retail industry to compete with him, and that Zhang Ran would only turn a blind eye.

But now, the slap in the face had come so quickly; in a short period of time, Zhang Ran had already forced their Fengchao into a dead end.

However, Zhuo Fan did not intend to admit defeat just like that at this moment, or rather, he dared not admit defeat!

He had seen the fate of Tian Yaohui with his own eyes, and he did not believe that Zhang Ran would show him any leniency, so Zhuo Fan dared not admit defeat!

"How are you all considering it? At a time like this, don't worry about anything else anymore. If I'm finished this time, who is next?" Zhuo Fan's tone was somewhat impatient; he had no choice but to be urgent.

It was already very difficult to get loans from the banks now, and the fact that the banks were not calling in debts was already the result of his efforts over these many years.

If he wanted to continue dragging this out with Zhang Ran, then he could only borrow money from people like Huang Lin, or else have the shareholders inject capital.

But clearly, this was simply impossible!

It was fine in the past; as long as the goal was clear and there was a future for development, then injecting capital was not a difficult matter, but now it was hard to get these people to cough up even a single cent.

Huang Lin, Li Yiting, and the others all fell silent; they also saw the current situation clearly.

"Do you have any other plans?" Finally, Huang Lin spoke up.

Zhuo Fan's eyes flickered for a moment, "Of course I do, but these all require capital, and they also require your strong support."

"What do you mean?" Li Yiting asked.

"Since Zhang Ran is attacking Fengchao through online channels, then I can also use this plan. He mainly just caught me off guard; in terms of the number and scale of stores, Fengchao is still stronger than Maikai, this is beyond doubt.

As long as we hold out through this period, then I will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory!" Zhuo Fan spoke with full confidence, but Huang Lin and the others still responded with silence.

Zhuo Fan took a deep breath and continued, "Don't think I'm just talking big; I have also considered this.

I have already found out clearly that Zhang Ran paid a price of 37 billion to acquire Maikai Supermarket.

Zhang Ran hasn't paid this money yet, but how long can he drag it out?

Zhang Ran wants a quick victory right now; once the time drags on a little longer, he will definitely be finished.

Although I don't know how much money he has now, it is definitely not that much; even if he drains the liquid capital of Dahe Express and Kangshilan, it might still not be enough."

"Moreover, although it is said that Kangshilan and Dahe Express are controlled by Zhang Ran, don't forget, they are not without other shareholders; for private matters like this, the other shareholders definitely won't agree."

"So as long as you give me some time, I will definitely be able to bring Zhang Ran down; even if that doesn't work, I can drag him into this quagmire so he can't get out, and that way you can all rest easy."

It had to be said that Zhuo Fan's proposal was very tempting to them, because they knew what Zhuo Fan said was true.

The price Zhang Ran paid for Maikai Supermarket was indeed high; his capital could not be that abundant, and they could still guarantee that point.

Once Zhang Ranran out of liquid capital, it would be very difficult for him to make another move against them.

But the group remained silent at this moment; no one spoke.

Zhuo Fan could not hold his composure at this time either, "We've reached this point, do you still want to sit on the sidelines?"

"Once Zhang Ran takes down Fengchao, the capital pressure at that time won't be so great, you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Li Yiting.

"The money matter is a separate issue; I want you to explain to me right now what is going on with this contract?" As Li Yiting said this, he took out a contract and held the front side up to the camera.

Upon seeing this contract, Zhuo Fan's complexion changed instantly.

Of course he knew this contract; it was the one he had given to Zhang Ran, and at the time, he had been full of confidence that Zhang Ran would definitely sign it.

He had even mocked Zhang Ran for being too arrogant, living in the past.

At that time, he hadn't paid any attention to this contract, nor had he taken it back, but instead left it in Zhang Ran's hands, prepared to let Zhang Ran think it over carefully.

How did Li Yiting have this contract now?

Did Zhang Ran give it to him?

Or...

But very quickly, the others also took out a contract one after another, identical to Li Yiting's.

"Don't tell us that you only used this contract to insult Zhang Ran, and don't say that you didn't agree to any other conditions," Li Yiting said mockingly.

In fact, the moment they saw the contract, they had guessed the conditions Zhuo Fan had offered Zhang Ran.

The reason they hadn't spoken just now was actually equivalent to giving Zhuo Fan a chance, or perhaps they didn't want to be used by Zhang Ran themselves.

But Zhuo Fan hadn't taken the initiative to explain the contract matter to them even at this point, and still wanted to ask them for money and resources; this naturally made them feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Zhuo Fan took a deep breath, "I don't want to explain too much about the contract; explaining it has no meaning. If we make it through this time, I will definitely give you an explanation.

But now is not the time for us to have internal strife; since you have received this contract, it must have been given to you by Zhang Ran. I believe I don't need to say much about what he is thinking."

"Heh, are you planning to just muddle through like this?" Li Yiting sneered.

"Li Yiting, I have always suspected there is a mole among us; it wouldn't be you, would it? I already said I would give you an explanation later, what are you trying to do by bringing this up now?

Also, others received it too, but they didn't bring it out; why are you so proactive?" Zhuo Fan growled.

At this moment, he had no other options left; he could only get money from Huang Lin, or else he would truly be finished.

At this moment, Zhuo Fan was like a fish struggling at death's door, completely devoid of the confidence he had when facing Zhang Ran a while ago.

Or perhaps it should be called conceit!

Li Yiting's expression was cold, "Think whatever you want; in any case, I don't want to give money to someone who is ready to sell us out at any time."

After saying this, he hung up the call directly; very quickly, Huang Lin also sighed and hung up...
