Chapter 610: 606. The South Africa Plan (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
Liu Yu said with some anxiety, "Why not? I am single now, you are single too, and I can tell that you still like me, so why not?"
Liu Yu had thought it through all night yesterday; this was an opportunity for her. As long as she could grasp He Yong again, then by relying on the big tree that was Zhang Ran, she would completely enter another class, a class she previously wouldn't even dare to imagine.
Thinking about what happened last night, shares worth five hundred million were given away just like that, as if they were five yuan.
This meant that Zhang Ran trusted He Yong enough and also valued He Yong very much.
He Yong became serious, "It is precisely because of this that I will not get back together with you, and from now on, you shouldn't keep coming to find us either."
"Why?" Liu Yu was very confused.
He Yong did not explain; he just stared blankly at Liu Yu for a moment, then his gaze became cold.
"There is no why. I can tell you one thing now: some things you should do, you can do, but things you shouldn't do—especially things you shouldn't take—you absolutely must not take. Otherwise, you will be the one regretting it when the time comes."
"Don't think I'm joking. I'm also warning you: don't use your life as a bet, because you will lose for sure!"
He Yong said these words with ironclad certainty, and his tone was extremely cold—so cold that Liu Yu couldn't help but tremble inside.
He Yong knew what Zhang Ran was about to face, and he knew even better how important his own position was right now.
Therefore, he did not want to have any flaws.
Previously, when Zhang Ran urged him to find someone new, Liu Yu's relationship was only a small part of it. The biggest reason was that He Yong did not want to be dragged down by family matters, or rather, he did not want them to interfere with his judgment.
At the very least, not until he found a suitable successor.
Zhang Ran trusted him so much; he had to be worthy of this trust, and even more so, he had to be worthy of this brotherhood!
Therefore, He Yong had long since made preparations: as long as he hadn't found a true successor, he would not marry again.
There was no need for him to worry about He Qing's affairs at all; Zhang Ran had already helped arrange everything.
This was He Yong's true thought.
So when Liu Yu came today, he just said it straight, which also served to firm up his own heart once more.
Liu Yu did not quite understand this, but she understood He Yong's intentions, and there was some disappointment in her eyes.
"Then you're just going to watch Xiao Qing treat me like this?" Liu Yu couldn't help but say.
"That is Xiao Qing's business. You abandoned Xiao Qing back then, so you should have expected this scene today," He Yong said coldly.
Liu Yu was still somewhat unwilling to give up, but He Yong no longer wanted to say anything more to her. Finally, he said, "Don't treat my words as wind passing by your ears, and absolutely do not use Xiao Qing, otherwise you will know the consequences."
After saying this, he walked quickly to catch up with Zhang Ran, who was ahead.
Liu Yu was completely dejected at this moment. She had originally thought that He Yong still had some feelings for her, and that if she lowered her posture, it would at least soften He Yong's attitude a little.
But she had guessed wrong. Not only did He Yong's attitude not soften, it even became more firm and more heartless.
Thinking of these things, regret began to rise in Liu Yu's heart. If only back then...
Zhang Ran looked at He Yong's low spirits and thought about it, but didn't say anything. He Yong was no longer a young man; he believed that the choices he made were all well-considered.
Zhang Ran did not go back directly, but first came to Galaxy Capital, where Xin Youmin and the others had also arrived.
"In a few days, I will head to South Africa. By then, you all need to be prepared on your end," Zhang Ran said directly.
Xin Youmin and the others were all somewhat excited. They had finally reached this step. Why did they support Zhang Ran so firmly in the beginning? It wasn't because of Galaxy Capital, but because of the South Africa Development Bank.
"Rest assured, whatever you need at that time, we will provide help to the best of our ability," Xin Youmin said.
"And our company also has a branch in South Africa; we will provide you with what you need."
"It's the same for us. As long as you speak up, Mr. Zhang, everything will be no problem," the others also said one after another.
They all had industries in South Africa, and most of them cooperated with State-owned Enterprises, and they also had good relationships with the local government there.
These were all vast networks of relationships, so Zhang Ran wouldn't have to start from scratch when he got there.
Although Zhang Ran had his own arrangements, he wasn't sure how much use his arrangements would actually be.
Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Then I will thank everyone here in advance."
"Mr. Zhang, you are too polite."
"This isn't being polite. I'm telling you the truth. When the time comes, I will definitely need your help, especially over in South Africa. I hope you can help withstand some pressure," Zhang Ran said seriously.
Xin Youmin and the others looked at each other, all sensing that there was more to Zhang Ran's words.
"Mr. Zhang, may I ask if you can be more specific?" Xin Youmin asked.
Zhang Ran shook his head and said, "It's hard to say for now, but it will definitely be helpful to our cooperation. It's just that there is some danger, and there will be quite a few variables, and it might even involve some people. I just hope you prepare in advance."
Zhang Ran hadn't truly figured everything out yet, so what he said was also ambiguous.
"Alright, as long as the goal is clear, then we have nothing more to say," Xin Youmin said decisively.
Their goal was not as simple as just a bank; the South Africa Development Bank involved too many things.
If they wanted to force their way in, there would certainly be many troubles, but it was all worth it.
The many interests represented here could not be measured by money alone.
Therefore, this also meant that the matter was very difficult and very dangerous. If it weren't for Zhang Ran, they could never succeed, and they were willing to pay a price for this.
Zhang Ran's purpose today was exactly this: to focus everyone's minds beforehand, so that it would be convenient for him to handle things.
Next, Zhang Ran briefly described his itinerary and some arrangements. He didn't say much about the specifics; in fact, even now, Zhang Ran didn't know exactly how to proceed.
However, he knew that the Shark was a turning point!
But this turning point required him to take risks to obtain it, and at the same time, he needed this turning point!
"In a while, the State-owned Enterprises will be sending some inspection teams to South Africa. Why don't you go along with them, Mr. Zhang?" Xin Youmin said.
Zhang Ran thought for a moment and said, "That works too; it saves me some trouble."
What trouble?
Naturally, it was letting the Shark know he had arrived in South Africa. If he went along with the inspection team, it would definitely be publicized, so he wouldn't need to publicize it himself, and he wouldn't need to take risks.
