Chapter 439: 435. Can There Be a Reconciliation? (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

Zhang Ran's final share subscription quota could actually be considered as letting Qi Lin have another child; his thinking was still relatively conservative.

At dinner, Zhang Ran said to Zhang Sicheng and the others, "I need to go to Jia City to handle some matters; if you want to play here for a while, you can stay for a few more days."

Since some evidence had already been obtained, combined with the evidence previously acquired through the antique agreement, it was barely enough.

However, this was not enough to guarantee Zhuo Fan would be sent in, and even if the evidence were sufficient, Zhang Ran could not just go straight to the local police station like that.

Zhuo Fan's current status and position represented many things; he could be sent in, but many matters needed to be handled well. At the very least, one could not let Fengchao Group fall into chaos, and even less could one let a large number of people lose their jobs.

Therefore, Zhang Ran needed to communicate with the local government first to discuss a suitable solution, ideally reaching a certain tacit understanding, so that there would be no obstacles.

"I won't stay behind; there are still quite a few things at the company that need to be handled, and the finals are about to start. I still need to rush to Russia after handling things here," Zhang Sicheng said.

Zhang Ran thought for a moment and said, "Alright, how about having He Shu go with you?"

"No need, it's fine. I won't be running around, and I'll be cooperating with the local government anyway. I believe they wouldn't have the audacity to do anything; this is official business," Zhang Sicheng said with a smile, understanding his father's concern.

Zhang Ran said, "Alright, I'll have Nikolayev prepare for it then; don't be careless."

Zhang Ran also did not believe that Lotnikov would truly dare to make a move; Zhang Sicheng was going alone this time, unlike last time when the entire Zhang Family was there.

As long as he dared to make a move, he would have to face Zhang Ran's crazy retaliation; they had not yet reached that point.

After briefly explaining the situation, Zhang Ran set off for Jia City the next day.

It was better to resolve matters quickly; there was no point in dragging them out.

While on the road, Zhang Ran used his phone to ask Tu Guojian for help, contacting the leaders of Jia City, and Zhang Ran would host a dinner that evening.

Therefore, this was not considered a formal meeting, and Zhang Ran also needed to know the attitude of the leadership in Jia City so he could adjust how to proceed.

The leadership in Jia City also guessed Zhang Ran's purpose immediately, and several key leaders felt heavy-hearted.

Fengchao Group could be considered a flagship of their Jia City, but it was now teetering in the wind and rain, looking like it was about to collapse.

Zhang Ran coming here this time was definitely for the sake of Fengchao Group; linking it to Yaotian Pharmaceutical, many things were actually not hard to guess.

But how exactly should they choose?

These few leaders still could not make up their minds.

"Everyone, speak up; what should we do?" Gu Zhengfeng said with a serious expression.

Bi Chengjian spoke up, "Things have already reached this point; Fengchao Group is now beyond saving.

If it weren't for us mediating in the middle, the banks would have already started calling in their debts. Given the current situation, it is very likely that Zhang Ran has absolute certainty."

He did not finish his sentence, but the meaning was very clear: that was to abandon Zhuo Fan.

The banks were also not taking any action because they were exerting effort; otherwise, looking at the current situation of Fengchao Group, the debt collectors from the banks would have already worn down the threshold.

However, there were also people who held different opinions, "I feel, is doing this perhaps not very good?

Once Fengchao Group is taken by Zhang Ran, will he still treat our Jia City as his center of gravity then?

If he chooses to withdraw from Jia City at that time, our losses would be too great, and we don't understand what kind of situation Zhang Ran is in; this Zhang Ran is somewhat mysterious, and I cannot fathom him."

"Lao Huang, what do you think?" Gu Zhengfeng asked noncommittally.

Lao Huang said, "I am thinking we could see if we can act as a bridge in the middle, letting these two sit down and talk, instead of making such a big fuss.

I don't know the specific reasons too well, but I heard that the biggest reason for this is actually the conflict between Zhang Ran and Zhuo Fan.

This is not irreconcilable; at worst, we can have Fengchao bleed a little. After all, they lost, which is normal, and this is the safest plan."

After listening, Gu Zhengfeng did not say much more; this was also a plan, but he did not hold much hope for it.

"We can talk, but Lao Huang, before we get Zhang Ran's permission, don't disclose this to Zhuo Fan yet," Gu Zhengfeng said.

Lao Huang hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "Alright."

At nine o'clock in the evening, Zhang Ran met Gu Zhengfeng and the others at the entrance of the private room.

"Mr. Zhang, I've long heard of your name," Gu Zhengfeng said with a smile on his face.

Zhang Ran also had a gentle smile, "Leaders, please sit. I came in a rush and the hospitality was lacking; please forgive me."

"Haha, this is already very good; if it were any better, we wouldn't have dared to come," Bi Chengjian joked.

Seeing the attitude of these two, Zhang Ran had a slight idea in his heart.

Both sides did not start by talking about business, but chatted about many other topics, talking about anything and everything.

Once the drinking was about done, Zhang Ran stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "Leaders, I believe you are clear about the purpose of my visit this time, and I would like to ask for your opinions.

After all, this matter concerns quite a few people, and if not handled well, it will still cause some trouble, so I hope the leaders can provide plenty of support."

Zhang Ran had stated his position, and Gu Zhengfeng said seriously, "We are aware of this matter, but Mr. Zhang, your side has been too swift, leaving us with no time to react at all."

Indeed, Zhang Ran's speed was too fast; since the sixteenth of the month, it had only been about twenty days.

Fengchao Group was already showing signs of defeat, leaving them with no time to prepare.

Zhang Ran said, "Leader, although things were a bit fast, I came this time precisely to resolve these matters.

To say something arrogant that you leaders might not like to hear, I could have completely dragged the time out longer; at worst, I could have just let Fengchao go bankrupt. Although I would have lost a bit more, it would have been just that; I can afford it.

However, doing so would cause many employees to lose their jobs, which is not good for anyone, so that is why I came over in advance this time."

Gu Zhengfeng ate a bite of food silently and just nodded, indicating he acknowledged Zhang Ran's words.

Seeing this situation, Lao Huang knew it was his turn to step in, "Ahem, Mr. Zhang, I have a proposal here; could you consider it?"

"Please speak, leader," Zhang Ran said with a smile.

"It is, could you and Zhuo Fan reconcile?" Lao Huang was somewhat expectant; this was the best situation for Jia City.
