Chapter 559: 555. Training the Younger Generation (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
"Auston, Arthur, let me tell you, I've prepared a lot of fun things for you," Taotao said excitedly upon seeing the two little ones.
Susu was also jumping up and down on the side; although they hadn't seen each other for a while, they video-chatted often, so there was no sense of unfamiliarity.
The two Auston brothers were also very excited and thrilled, and the four little ones held hands, talking non-stop about their lives.
It seemed only Prince Haiman's eldest son, Bert, was a bit lonely, because Zhang Sicheng and the others had left first this time, so for a moment, there was no one to talk to him.
Originally, Zhang Sicheng was prepared to wait until after picking up Prince Haiman to leave, but Zhang Ran told him to go ahead first and talk when he returned; in any case, Prince Haiman was going to spend the New Year here.
Moreover, there was no need for such formalities between their two families.
"Bert, you're growing more and more handsome. How about it? Do you have a girlfriend yet?" Zhang Ran said with a smile.
Bert revealed a very perfect smile and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhang, I don't have a girlfriend yet."
Seeing his eldest son like this, Prince Haiman couldn't help but cover his forehead.
Ever since Bert returned from Zhang Ran's house last time, there had indeed been some slight changes; at the very least, in the beginning, he wasn't as distant from them as parents.
But as time passed, Bert returned to his former self, which left Prince Haiman feeling very helpless.
Zhang Ran also felt a bit helpless about Bert being this way, but on the road, Zhang Ran and Bert had actually chatted quite congenially.
"Uncle Zhang, after I went back, I carefully studied some financial matters, and this time I also wanted to seek your guidance," Bert said in the car with a respectful tone.
Not to mention the relationship between this Uncle Zhang and his own father, even the things Zhang Ran had mentioned regarding finance last time were worth him learning.
Zhang Ran laughed: "I only have a superficial understanding of finance; you've asked the wrong person."
Seeing that Bert still wanted to say something, Zhang Ran smiled and interrupted: "However, I can provide you with an internship opportunity here. I believe your theoretical knowledge is far richer than mine, but your practical experience is a bit lacking.
I happen to have a relatively large project this time; if you have the confidence, I will hand it over to you to do."
Bert was a bit excited and also a bit curious: "What project?"
"Battling Galaxy Capital," Zhang Ran said easily.
Bert was stunned, and even Prince Haiman and his wife on the side were stunned.
"Zhang Ran, don't spoil the child. I'm telling you, don't think about having me cover for you. If this loses, don't blame me," Prince Haiman joked.
Zhang Ran said: "You're overthinking it. With that little bit of assets you have, I don't even have my eye on them."
Prince Haiman was immediately so angry he blew his beard and stared; this guy really knew how to infuriate people with his words, but his assets really didn't have much appeal in front of Zhang Ran.
Prince Haiman's current assets were around seven or eight billion US dollars, which was already a lot, but compared to Zhang Ran, there was no comparison.
Zhang Ran's visible assets were already nearly sixty billion US dollars, and as the stock of Fengli Group rose sharply every day, Zhang Ran's net worth was also increasing daily.
And anyone who paid even a little attention to Zhang Ran knew that he definitely had other unknown assets.
Just like this Galaxy Capital!
"I'm talking to you seriously, Zhang Ran. I know your intentions, but even if you want to train the child, there's no need to do this." Although Prince Haiman didn't yet know what Zhang Ran was going to do, he knew that what was involved this time was definitely huge.
Bert was actually very tempted, but he also knew that this was a bit difficult for him.
"Thank you for your trust, Uncle Zhang, but I might not be able to handle this task," Bert said with a hint of regret.
Zhang Ran, however, said: "Don't be in such a hurry to refuse, and I'm not joking with you this time.
The children have all grown up, and I don't want to be this busy in the future. Haiman, do you really want to keep working until you're seventy or eighty?"
"Whoever thinks that is a fool, but what other choice is there? I can't just hand over these assets," Prince Haiman said.
He was also a person who liked to enjoy life and didn't like to make work his primary life.
But their family's current status and the greatest reliance for their life were their assets, and once they lost these, although they wouldn't become destitute, and their lives wouldn't even change much,
they would lose their voice in some matters, and even lose control over their own lives; this was definitely not what Prince Haiman wanted.
Zhang Ran said: "Isn't that it? This is a very good internship opportunity. When the time comes, Sicheng, Siyan, and Ming Xuan will all join in. Let you few form a team. I will only control the direction for this matter, and the specific operations will be implemented by you."
This was truly Zhang Ran's idea, not something he came up with on a whim.
Zhang Ran had watched Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan grow up, and Meng Mingxuan had also matured rapidly during this period.
The short-video company he and Huang Xunceng started was now taking shape.
Although they all had their own ideas and their own futures, Zhang Ran still prepared to give them more training.
At the very least, in case something unexpected happened to him, Zhang Sicheng would have people and the ability to help him.
Bert was truly tempted, but at this moment he looked at his father; he knew such a matter required his father's nod of approval.
Seeing Zhang Ran's serious expression, Prince Haiman also became serious: "Are you saying this for real?"
"Of course."
Prince Haiman fell into silence. After returning home, he thought for a moment and said: "Can you tell me the specific situation?"
Zhang Ran said: "The specific situation is that this Galaxy Capital also belongs to my assets. Now I want to take it back, and I have already laid the groundwork; they don't need to consider too many things."
Zhang Ran told Prince Haiman about some of his layouts and ideas. After listening, Prince Haiman suddenly sighed: "You guy is really unexpected, but your eye for people is truly poor."
Hearing Prince Haiman's mockery, Zhang Ran curled his lips and said: "I really don't admit to that; my eye for people is very accurate."
"Accurate? How do you explain Mu Jinyuan? What about people like Tian Yaohui?" Prince Haiman ridiculed.
Lin Mei rolled her eyes at her husband, then ignored the few of them and began to prepare some fruit for them.
She had lived at Zhang Ran's house for a period of time and was very familiar with this place.
Moreover, coming to Zhang Ran's house, she also felt a rare sense of relaxation; this state of life was much more relaxed than when she was at her own manor or attending those high-society banquets.
"If I said I knew Mu Jinyuan had a rebellious streak long ago, would you believe me?" Zhang Ran said.
