Chapter 518: 514. Preparing for the Decisive Battle (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

The sudden defection of Huamei Group caught those platforms completely off guard; originally, because these platforms had suffered great losses in logistics, they were already at a disadvantage when competing with Fengli Group.

Originally, they could still barely hold on by relying on Huamei Group's channels, and those large foreign brands were also only able to barely contend with Fengli Group by relying on Huamei Group's channels.

Now that Huamei Group had suddenly defected, these people were immediately thrown into a panic, and the original home appliance market completely fell into a passive state.

Of course, because of this, Huamei was directly sued, and at the same time, it had to pay a large sum in liquidated damages.

However, this money could only be considered a drop in the bucket compared to this market struggle.

"Huang Lin, what is the meaning of this?" Li Yiting asked over the phone with a gloomy expression.

He never expected that Huang Lin, who had been aggressive just a few days ago, would defect directly.

Huang Lin sighed and said, "What else could it be? Of course, it's admitting defeat."

"What benefits did Zhang Ran give you? To make you choose to admit defeat? Aren't you afraid he will settle scores later?" Li Yiting took a deep breath.

Huang Lin said, "Well, he did give me benefits; he bought back all my shares, leaving only five percent, which counts as dividends for the senior executives helping him continue to manage Huamei."

Li Yiting was stunned, "And you still choose to side with Zhang Ran like this? Or have you been Zhang Ran's person all along?"

Li Yiting stated the possibility he had guessed; if that were the case, it would make sense.

Huang Lin said impatiently, "If I were his person, could you people still be carefree until now? But from now on, it really is you; don't say things that shouldn't be said in front of me, otherwise I won't keep secrets for you."

Li Yiting was immediately choked up; he had really wanted to disparage Zhang Ran just now, but hearing Huang Lin say this, he felt a bit discouraged.

"Lao Huang, then what do you think I should do? Admit defeat? Can Zhang Ran forgive me?" Li Yiting felt a bit guilty.

Tian Yaohui, Zhuo Fan, and Huang Lin fell one after another; Zhang Ran's methods were endless, and he once again experienced that feeling from back then, as if everything was under Zhang Ran's control.

But unlike before, back then he was on the same side as Zhang Ran, and he felt incomparably secure in his heart.

But now he and Zhang Ran were opponents, and only panic remained in his heart.

Huang Lin said, "I don't know, don't ask me; in case I promise you something, but Mr. Zhang doesn't agree, then you won't even know how you died."

Huang Lin did not want to get involved in this matter; counting it up, Li Yiting was also an old friend, and he did not want to betray an old friend, so let it be.

Huang Lin also understood that his future from now on would be this small patch of land at Huamei; managing Huamei well and then successfully handing it over to the successor designated by Zhang Ran, this was his duty.

After finishing speaking, Huang Lin hung up the phone.

With Huamei's defection, Fengli Group began to advance triumphantly, beating those platforms in the home appliance market into steady retreat.

These platforms not only lost a large number of users, but many merchants also ran away.

The subsidy intensity on Fengli Group's side was very high, causing these merchants to also flock here one after another.

Users are the foundation, and merchants are the foundation for serving these users well; both are indispensable.

Every day, Fengli Net added many new merchants, which also brought in many users, making Fengli Group's advantage even greater.

On the eleventh, Zhang Ran called Zhao Lifeng again.

"Tomorrow, beat them completely for me; the money is already in place, don't save it for me, tomorrow we must start the decisive battle." This was the order Zhang Ran gave to Zhao Lifeng.

Zhao Lifeng took a deep breath and said firmly, "Mr. Zhang, rest assured, I will definitely not let you down."

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Well, after this time, your core team should also prepare; see how much money you can come up with, it's about time to calculate the shares."

Hearing this, Zhao Lifeng asked cautiously, "What does Mr. Zhang mean?"

Zhang Ran said, "Didn't two shareholders not contribute this time? Kick them out of the game; additionally, separate Fengli Group's express delivery business, B2C Business, and B2B Business.

You can also rest assured that you and your core team will not have your shares shorted when the time comes; I understand the principle that if you want a horse to run, you have to let the horse eat grass."

Zhao Lifeng suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart, and then asked, "Then what do you plan to do with the B2B Business?"

"You will still be in charge of this business when the time comes, but you need to cooperate with Iron Fir Capital and others; this will make the company develop faster.

As for the express delivery business, you should intervene less; let Meng He lead it, and you only be responsible for coordinating the overall situation."

Zhang Ran stated some of his thoughts; although it seemed too early, in fact, the moment Huang Lin chose to defect, these things were already destined.

If there are no accidents, tomorrow should be the moment when the outcome is decided.

From the start of Double Eleven until today, it has been exactly one month; Zhang Ran has turned the e-commerce market upside down, but the harvest has also been huge.

Of course, the capital consumed was also enormous; from beginning to end, he alone poured in nearly forty billion.

That's not even counting the one hundred billion borrowed!

It can be said that such results were entirely smashed out with money.

And there were those who were full of confidence in Zhang Ran and had always followed him, such as Li Da Group.

The money they lost within this month is estimated to be no less than one billion; this is also a terrifying number, after all, not everyone has a foundation like Zhang Ran's.

Of course, Zhang Ran would not let Li Da down; after the matter is over, it will be time for Li Da Group to harvest.

In terms of treating friends, Zhang Ran would never let friends suffer losses.

Zhao Lifeng understood Zhang Ran's meaning; in the future, the group would be divided into several parts, and he would be considered the helmsman of the group, nominally able to manage everything, and Zhang Ran also gave him this authority.

However, he should not intervene in Dahe Express if possible; this was the right Zhang Ran gave to his friend Meng He.

That is to say, although Dahe Express will be a subsidiary under Fengli Group at that time, in reality, it will still be managed by Meng He.

However, Zhang Ran only made a division for the other industries, and they were still handed over to Zhao Lifeng to manage later.

At the same time, the B2B Business was also planned well, and Zhao Lifeng also believed that with the joining of financial groups like Iron Fir Capital, it would take their group's B2B Business to a higher level.

These were all things Zhang Ran had already planned, and Zhao Lifeng finally felt Zhang Ran's vision.

Zhang Ran never only looked at the things right in front of him; his gaze had always been very far-reaching; even though the B2C battle was still ongoing here, he had already arranged the B2B business.
