Chapter 447: 443. You're Just Showing Off (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

Hearing Zhang Ran's words, the expressions of everyone in the room shifted uncertainly; it was their turn to make a choice once again.

They had already lost count of how many choices they had made today.

But at this moment, they understood that this was truly the final choice; once decided, there would be no chance to go back on it.

Zhang Ran did not urge them either, simply watching these people quietly, waiting for their decision.

"Mr. Zhang, if I choose to sell half of the shares in my hand and want to keep the rest, what price will it be calculated at?" Someone seemed to have sensed Zhang Ran's intent and asked.

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "This will still be calculated based on seventy percent, but at most, you can only keep fifty percent of the shares you hold."

"Furthermore, the remainder will be recalculated after the two companies merge; it is hard to say how much will be left by then."

"Of course, at that time, everyone can choose to spend money to purchase some shares; I won't really push things to the extreme here."

The crowd fell silent; this was an attempt to reduce the shares in their hands without spending a single cent.

And the most critical point was that among these people, those who would choose to spend money to hold more shares accounted for the majority.

At this point, they could see that this Zhang Ran System was absolutely vast to a shocking degree.

Even the things hidden within it were unfathomable!

Who could have imagined before that the foreign-invested Maikai Supermarket would be acquired by Zhang Ran so suddenly?

And in such a short time, too; otherwise, if internal problems hadn't appeared on their side, this news probably wouldn't have been revealed until they were competing here.

Therefore, even though they had been thoroughly swindled by Zhang Ran at this moment, they would still choose to join it.

"If everyone has no objections, I will have Manager Jiao conduct some business integration here; this will still require everyone's help."

"From now on, we can be considered one family, so there is no need to cause each other trouble; otherwise, the losses will all be everyone's money. What do you say?" Zhang Ran said.

The crowd took a deep breath; at this moment, there was no other choice but to accept reality.

Although this was far worse than they had expected, there was nothing else to be done.

Moreover, this matter might actually be a good thing; after all, they could be considered to have entered the mysterious Zhang Ran System, and perhaps they could use the Zhang Ran System to expand their other industries in the future.

Of course, judging by Zhang Ran's current personality, he would likely still hold the lion's share, but as long as they could also follow along and reap benefits, then the rest didn't matter.

"Then let's do as Mr. Zhang says."

"Alright, let's not drag this out any longer; the sooner such matters are resolved, the better."

Watching the crowd's stance, Qi Guanghuan sighed deeply once more, but for some reason, a sense of pride welled up in his heart because he had more foresight than these people and had defected to Zhang Ran early on.

Didn't he see that there were still people casting envious glances at him now, rather than the hatred from the beginning?

Zhang Ran nodded and said: "Fine, then that's it. I will have my secretary He Qing stay here temporarily; if there are any problems, you can communicate with her first."

Immediately, everyone's gaze turned to He Qing; from now on, He Qing could represent Zhang Ran at Fengchao, and the magnitude of the power involved was self-evident.

"Everyone, Xiao Qing hasn't graduated from university yet, so she might not handle many things perfectly; I ask for your understanding when the time comes," Zhang Ran said again.

"Miss He is truly young and promising," someone praised.

Zhang Ran smiled and didn't say anything more, leaving the place directly; he had always grasped the general direction and made decisions, but as for specific matters, he didn't want to intervene—it was too tiring.

After Zhang Ran left, He Qing became the center of attention, and everyone vied to show her favor.

He Qing had experienced quite a few things by now, so she was barely able to cope with the situation.

"Brother Zhang, will it be a bit inappropriate to leave Xiao Qing here?" He Yong said on the road, looking worried.

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "Don't worry, no matter how Xiao Qing does, I will arrange things for her."

"Anyway, if it really doesn't work out, I'll just give her a Manager position that doesn't handle actual work; it will be easier for her then."

He Yong sighed and said: "I know what you mean, Brother Zhang, but I'm afraid she won't be able to withstand the temptation."

He Yong wasn't ignorant of everything; on the contrary, having been with Zhang Ran, he had seen too many things and knew what He Qing was about to face.

The power Zhang Ran left her was too great; although it was only temporary, even so, He Qing was now a person wielding immense power.

Especially at a time like this—let's put it this way: if He Qing leaked even a little bit of benefit to some people now, the benefits those people could obtain would be vast.

Don't these people understand that?

Of course they know, so from now on, currying favor with He Qing, giving gifts, and giving grand gifts would be inevitable.

Whether He Qing can resist these temptations depends on this wave.

Zhang Ran did not hide this from He Yong, and furthermore, tests like this would definitely be endless in the future; after all, human hearts change. Only if He Qing persists in her original intention will she maintain her current status.

However, He Yong wouldn't worry too much, because of his relationship with Zhang Ran, even if He Qing made a mistake, Zhang Ran wouldn't do much to her, at most letting her be slowly marginalized, which in He Yong's view was actually a good thing.

Therefore, He Yong would not warn He Qing, and besides, warnings are useless for many things; once greed arises, who can guarantee they will never fall?

Zhang Ran didn't say anything more on this side and started making phone calls; the first call was to Jiao Zhen.

"Old Jiao, the matter is resolved; send people over to take over Fengchao," Zhang Ran said with a chuckle.

Although Jiao Zhen already had some mental preparation, hearing Zhang Ran say this, he still couldn't help but be shocked: "So fast?"

One must know this was Fengchao Group, a famous supermarket retailer in Huaxia; it was actually taken down by Zhang Ran in such a short time.

Zhang Ran said: "It's not exactly fast; I had prepared a lot beforehand."

"This isn't fast? Forget it, you're just showing off!" Jiao Zhen retorted.

He immediately stopped talking about this topic and asked: "What about those shareholders? What kind of solution did you provide?"

Zhang Ran explained the situation, and this time Jiao Zhen was truly speechless.

"You are even more ruthless than a robber," Jiao Zhen said, speechless.

Zhang Ran said: "How can you say that? How could this be robbery? I gave them many chances, but they missed them time and time again; what could I do?"

Listening to Zhang Ran, who was pretending to be helpless, Jiao Zhen didn't want to talk to him anymore.
