Chapter 553: 549. China Entrepreneurs Conference (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Judging from the current data, the recent movements of Youjia Grain and Oil Group have been somewhat minor; not only have they failed to strengthen their domestic market share, but they seem to have even reduced it slightly.

Although Maikai Supermarket has made some moves, these alone are not enough to shake Youjia Grain and Oil Group.

Now, Youjia Grain and Oil can be attacked from two fronts.

The first is, naturally, market competition; Zhang Ran can acquire a grain and oil enterprise to compete with them.

The second is to carry out a series of sniper attacks on them in the stock market; Zhang Ran is not short of money now, and this seems to be the best method.

Once the Youjia stock market becomes volatile or even faces a crisis, Zhang Ran believes that the other shareholders will not stubbornly support Li Yiting.

However, these things require a considerable amount of time, and there is no rushing them now.

Zhang Ran then put down the documents; he was in no rush regarding Li Yiting's affairs, as he now had other ideas.

Previously, he felt the timing was not ripe, but with Xiao Long acting as an inside man, although it was still a bit rushed, it was not impossible to execute.

Moreover, Zhang Ran needs Galaxy Capital now and cannot let it remain in the hands of outsiders.

The overall scale of Galaxy Capital might not be particularly large, but it currently has many other uses.

Added to the recent whale incident and some problems left over from the past, Zhang Ran is in urgent need of Galaxy Capital.

Just as Zhang Ran was thinking about these things, He Qing received an invitation letter.

"Zhang Shu, this is an invitation letter for the China Entrepreneurs Conference sent from above, inviting you to attend in ten days," He Qing said.

This invitation should have been given long ago, but since Zhang Ran only recently chose to step forward, it was given a bit late.

Even so, those above had gone through some considerations; generally speaking, does Zhang Ran count as an entrepreneur?

After all, he has never truly managed an enterprise; calling him an investor would be more accurate.

However, it was ultimately sent to Zhang Ran, and whether he comes or not is up to him.

Seeing this invitation, Zhang Ran smiled and said, "It really is someone sending a pillow just as I'm feeling sleepy."

Zhang Ran prepared to attend this entrepreneurs conference; it just so happened that he had matters for which he needed to find people to help.

Or rather, to cooperate!

Zhang Ran seemed to have become idle at home, but in some places, especially places invisible to ordinary people, things were surging.

In particular, a name was slowly spreading through these channels.

Rich Man!

This is a codename; everyone knows this, but most people do not know what this codename signifies.

Some semi-retired or long-lived elders, however, understand what this codename means.

Back in the day, this codename stirred up monstrous waves within their circle!

Quite a few organizations were wiped out because of this codename; Whale Shark was just one of them, albeit one of the largest.

The Whale Shark of those years was so massive, and its actions were extremely arrogant.

It was notorious in many countries, yet it could still live so freely, which shows its power, but it was directly wiped out by this Rich Man.

Although it began to reappear later, many people understood that this was because of the sudden disappearance of the Rich Man; otherwise, Whale Shark would not have been so stable over these many years.

And now, it seems the Rich Man is about to emerge again?

Whale Shark's mortal enemy, the Whale Hunter Organization.

Lieqing was not originally called Lieqing, but was called Betrayer; it only suddenly changed its name after Whale Shark re-emerged, and the purpose was very clear.

Over these many years, Whale Shark and Lieqing have clashed many times, with both sides having their share of victories and defeats.

But no one knows what kind of conflict these two have; in any case, ever since Whale Shark appeared, Lieqing has suddenly targeted them without leaving a single trace.

Some speculate that they must have been Whale Shark's opponents before.

Whenever there is any mission related to Whale Shark, they are the first to take it on.

Sometimes they even pay out of their own pockets to carry out these tasks.

Li Cheng looked at the face full of vicissitudes and the murky eyes in the mirror, curling the corners of his mouth, wanting to smile, but it was very stiff.

"Boss, can you stop smiling? It's very scary, you know?" a young man in his early twenties with a scorpion tattooed on his wrist said with a shudder.

The others also nodded one after another; it was indeed very scary.

Ever since they met their boss, they had never seen him smile; he was always straight-faced, as if he didn't know how to smile.

Now that he was forcing a smile, it gave them a feeling of hair-raising dread.

Li Cheng ignored the young man's teasing, withdrew his gaze from the mirror, and looked at the group.

"Scorpion, Viper, Leopard..." Li Cheng called out their codenames one by one.

Scorpion and the others were all stunned, then looked at Li Cheng with serious expressions; they knew their boss had something to tell them, and it was a big matter.

"You haven't been with me for a short time; except for Scorpion who came the latest, the shortest time any of you have been with me is about ten years, right?" Li Cheng said.

Scorpion hurriedly said, "Boss, you can't be partial; although the time I've been with you is short, I've done quite a lot, and besides..."

"Alright, alright, the boss hasn't even said anything yet, what are you rushing for? You talk too much," Leopard said impatiently.

"I..." Scorpion was about to retort immediately, but was stopped by Li Cheng.

Li Cheng looked at these team members, feeling some emotion in his heart, "Over these many years, most of the people who followed me have died; you are the ones who have lived the longest.

We have also made a lot of money; actually, in our line of work, being able to stay alive is already a huge stroke of luck."

"Boss, what are you trying to say?" They all felt that Li Cheng's state was a bit off.

Why say these things for no reason?

Li Cheng ignored them and continued on his own: "Now everyone has a lot of money in their hands, and there is still quite a bit of public funds in the account; dividing it up is enough for you to live a prosperous life for the rest of your days; there is no need to continue taking risks.

Isn't the reason we do this line of work for money? Now that the money has been earned, you can choose to retire."

"I have already chosen places for you, or you can choose for yourselves; I will help you resolve the identity issues when the time comes."

"Boss, have you encountered something? Or does this have to do with Whale Shark's recent movements?" Viper asked.

Whale Shark's recent movements have been a bit strange, and looking at Li Cheng's words now, there clearly seems to be a situation they don't know about.

Li Cheng still did not answer his words, and continued to say: "Brothers, being able to fight alongside you is my honor. I won't say any more superfluous words; pack up your things soon, it is time for you to start a new life."

"Boss, have you developed a fever? Where is the doctor? Come quickly and take a look, the boss's brain seems to have been burned out." Scorpion reached out to test Li Cheng's forehead and muttered to himself.
