Chapter 489: 485. Pig-teammates are better off on the other side (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

Zhang Ran was prepared to host Qian Zhengkun and his family well, so he had Liu Lu specifically go out to buy some good food.

At noon, the two of them had a good drink together.

Yet just as they were eating and drinking, some people were no longer calm; the news that Zhang Ran had wildly won 14 billion in Macau had already spread completely, especially within the business world.

At Huamei, Huang Lin's expression was extremely ugly; he never imagined that, damn it, even at this point, someone would still stir up such trouble.

14 billion!

Although the great battle they were involved in this time could be said to concern things worth hundreds of billions, and Huamei's market value was already over 100 billion.

But this 14 billion in cash was also of vital importance.

"Damn it, has Mu Jinyuan gone crazy? Or did he intend to help Zhang Ran from the start?" Huang Lin couldn't help but curse out loud.

At this moment, he really had nothing left to say; it had reached this point, he had already made all preparations and was just waiting for November 11th, and now that the other side suddenly had an extra 14 billion, how could he feel good about it?

Moreover, this money was suspected to have been 'supported' to the other side by their own ally, which made Huang Lin feel even more miserable.

Especially after knowing some of the inside information, it was even more so.

Zhang Ran clearly only went to bring people back, but you, on the other hand, proposed the bet yourself; now look, you lost the bet.

"If you don't have the diamond drill, don't try to do the porcelain work," Huang Lin rambled on.

It was truly the case that this matter gave him a feeling of collapse; this thing was just too damn stimulating.

Cheng Mei was also silent at this time; she felt more and more that it seemed even Heaven was standing on Zhang Ran's side—could it be that they were really wrong?

It must be said that women are indeed more emotional about these things and think about more things.

"Why don't we agree to the demands of the other platforms?" Cheng Mei suddenly said.

Huang Lin was stunned, then sighed: "That would mean completely tearing our faces off with Zhang Ran. This struggle can be considered to have sought his opinion; if we sell Huamei, do you think Zhang Ran would still have any scruples?

Also, if we really lose then, and Zhang Ran doesn't get Huamei, will he take his anger out on Xunzeng at that time?

Xunzeng's company still has his shares now; what should we do if Zhang Ran implicates Xunzeng?"

The third-party platform that Huamei is currently cooperating with is Feijing; the Feijing platform is neither good nor bad, but in any case, it is not Huamei's first choice.

But there was no other way; the prices offered by other e-commerce platforms upon seeing this opportunity were a bit too high, and at the very least, Huamei could not bear it.

Or rather, Huang Lin personally could not bear this responsibility.

From the very beginning, he had already made his attitude clear to Zhang Ran: he would have one more struggle with him, and if he lost this time, he would hand Huamei back to Zhang Ran completely intact.

Zhang Ran also agreed and did not get angry or threaten him because of it, so Huang Lin could fully exert all his abilities to fight Zhang Ran.

But there was a premise to this, which was that Huamei would still be intact at that time; if he agreed to the demands of these platforms now, and then lost, this mess would be Zhang Ran's.

Huang Lin could not care, but he needed to care about his son and daughter.

At that time, they might suffer unprovoked disaster due to Zhang Ran's transferred anger; Zhang Ran might not do them harm, but it would be too, too difficult for them to develop in the business world and realize their dreams.

Cheng Mei immediately stopped talking, and only after hesitating for a long while did she say: "Do you think Zhang Ran might have guessed this situation when he bought shares in Xunzeng's company before?"

Huang Lin was stunned, then said: "It's possible, but I reckon it was also just in case; he was worried we might be driven to desperation and end up with nothing."

"What kind of idioms are you using? If you don't know how to use them, don't use them," Cheng Mei said irritably upon hearing this; was there anyone who talked about themselves like that?

Huang Lin gave a sheepish laugh, then said solemnly: "But it's not like we can't do anything; I will go and talk to some platforms about cooperation, and I can still agree to some conditions."

Huang Lin did not want to sit and wait for death; after all, there was no room for regret at this point, and since he had already made big claims, he had no way to back down.

Saying it and doing it, Huang Lin immediately began to contact some e-commerce platforms; he mainly cooperated with Feijing, but he would not let other platforms go either.

"President Chen, things have reached this point, and I believe you are very clear about the purpose of Fengli Group. If we fail this time, then your market share will be carved up by them significantly, and I believe this is not something you want to see," Huang Lin said.

President Chen smiled and said: "So, President Huang is agreeing to our demands?"

"It's already at this point; if President Chen still insists on this, then consider that I said nothing. I just want to tell you that while Zhang Ran's target seems to be me, in reality, I might just be a smokescreen, or rather, just incidental.

The entire online shopping market is his goal; after all, compared to this, I am a bit unworthy of mention," Huang Lin said in a flat tone.

This was not him being alarmist, but rather it was highly likely to be the truth.

Once upon a time, Huang Lin still thought he could make Zhang Ran go all out, and even felt anxious in his heart, but now he discovered that when Zhang Ran dealt with him the second time, it was already just an incidental matter.

President Chen also fell silent; although Huang Lin's words were unpleasant, they were highly likely to be the truth, and Fengli Group had indeed bared its fangs.

"Then what is President Huang's meaning?" President Chen asked after taking a deep breath.

Huang Lin said: "My meaning is very simple: use the shareholder relationships behind you to have some well-known foreign brand appliances offer big discounts on both your platform and our physical stores; the intensity must at least be greater than Fengli Group's."

"Hehe, Huang Lin, then what are you going to pay?" President Chen said noncommittally.

Huang Lin said: "We will naturally pay something; we will provide some subsidies and even strive for some policy preferences, but you also know that Zhang Ran just won 14 billion, so I hope President Chen can also contribute some effort."

Hearing Huang Lin say this, President Chen was also speechless; he naturally also knew this news.

"What do you think this Mu Jinyuan is thinking? Or is he actually in cahoots with Zhang Ran? Damn it, at a time like this, he's still causing us trouble," President Chen was also speechless.

Huang Lin was silent for a moment and said: "You might not believe it, but this Mu Jinyuan is actually our friend and Zhang Ran's opponent."

President Chen gave a chuckle, "I really wish Mu Jinyuan were Zhang Ran's friend; such a pig-teammate is better off given to the other side."
