Chapter 616: 612. Protective Talisman, Rich Man Card (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
He Yong discovered that he seemed to have underestimated his daughter; she was not only intelligent but also possessed a very strong capacity for learning and adaptation.
He Qing had made her way from a small county town to Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and she not only had to study but also had to take care of her grandparents.
Coupled with her father being imprisoned and her mother abandoning her since she was a child, He Qing's mental fortitude was far stronger than that of many others.
"As long as you understand," He Yong finally said.
After saying this, he pulled an exquisite handgun from his person and said to He Qing, "This is prepared for you. From today on, you will temporarily serve as Yin Long's personal secretary. You must be present whenever Yin Long handles any matters.
Once he avoids you, call me directly."
He Qing was slightly stunned after seeing the handgun, then immediately took it with great interest and said excitedly, "Dad, is this real? Where did you bring it from? It was checked when we boarded the plane."
"Don't you worry about that; you will know when you are supposed to know." Even when facing his own daughter, He Yong did not let slip a single bit of information that should not be revealed.
This was the reason why Zhang Ran always trusted He Yong so much; with him around, Zhang Ran did not need to consider the issue of his own safety.
And He Yong had never failed Zhang Ran's unconditional trust!
"I understand. How do I use this?" He Qing was still quite interested in firearms.
"I will teach you in a moment; it is very simple," He Yong said.
This was not for He Qing's self-defense, but for her to use when Yin Long posed a threat to Zhang Ran.
The item for true self-defense was something else.
"Keep this card safe," He Yong finally said as he took out a black card. On it was only the back of a mysterious person, and at the same time, two Chinese characters: 'Rich Man'!
"Dad, what is this again?" He Qing felt as if she had come into contact with something mysterious.
He Yong said, "Don't worry about what it is either. Remember, this thing must be kept on your person. Once you encounter a life-threatening danger, take this card out and give it to the other party.
If the other party doesn't understand, tell them that this card can satisfy any of their demands, and at the same time, you will not pursue this matter, as long as they ensure your safety."
This card belonged to He Yong. There were only six such cards in total, and He Yong had one. This was the greatest protective talisman Zhang Ran had given him!
It could be said that with this protective talisman, even if one asked Zhang Ran for ten billion RMB, Zhang Ran would agree.
No one would refuse ten billion RMB to buy a human life, not even those super-rich tycoons!
At the same time, Zhang Ran promised not to pursue the matter further, which guaranteed their safety. Under such conditions, if the other party still insisted on killing, then it could only be said that it was their fate!
The value of this card was incredibly astonishing. Although He Qing did not quite understand, she knew in her heart that it was definitely not a simple object.
He Yong had already forgotten about this Rich Man card. Since the day Zhang Ran gave it to him, he had never thought of actually using it, not even if he were to die.
But when facing his daughter, he still took this card out again; it could be considered the most he could do for his daughter as a father.
That evening, Zhang Ran took Yin Long, Huo Zhiyuan, and He Qing to attend the banquet held here.
At the same time, he introduced these three to everyone.
The reason Zhang Ran did not let Huo Zhiyuan participate this time was not because he didn't trust her, but because he didn't want Huo Zhiyuan to be involved.
After all, this was not a good thing.
Huo Zhiyuan did not ask any more questions, but her mind also began to tense up.
At the banquet, Zhang Ran chatted with a group of rich men and officials. He actually knew a few people here; although he was not very familiar with them, he at least recognized them.
He had dealt with them a few times back in the day.
"Mr. Zhang, it is truly a pleasure to meet again," an elderly Black man walked over and said politely.
"Wente Lai, I am also very pleased," Zhang Ran also responded with a smile.
Do not underestimate this old man; although he looked unremarkable, he had great influence here in South Africa, and his family was also very large.
Zhang Ran had dealt with him in the past; he was a person who was very difficult to provoke and had a deep mind, but his character was still acceptable, and he had even helped Zhang Ran a little back then.
Of course, Zhang Ran had also given his own returns, which were far more than what the other party had paid.
Wente Lai also had a purpose this time. He chatted and laughed with Zhang Ran for a moment, then said, "I heard that Mr. Zhang is preparing to develop a new, ultra-large Gold Mine here?"
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Wente Lai, your sources are truly well-informed."
"Haha, there is no help for it. The current society is an information society; news must be well-informed," Wente Lai did not hide this at all, but rather looked a bit proud.
In South Africa, or rather in this part of Africa, Wente Lai's information would definitely not be inferior to anyone else's.
"Why? Are you interested?" Zhang Ran said with a smile.
Wente Lai's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately said, "Of course I am interested, I just don't know what Mr. Zhang needs?"
Zhang Ran thought for a moment and said, "I haven't thought of anything for the moment, but I feel that we will definitely have areas where we need to cooperate.
Of course, you also know that this Gold Mine no longer belongs solely to me; there are other families involved. If I really have a need and those families cannot satisfy me, then I will need Mr. Wente Lai's help at that time."
Zhang Ran was taking precautions in advance. In this matter, the more preparation done, the better; even if it ended up not being used, it didn't matter.
"As long as Mr. Zhang speaks, we will certainly do our utmost," Wente Lai said with a smile.
Wente Lai had obtained the answer he wanted. He had not expected to get Zhang Ran to agree immediately; it still needed to be done step by step.
Moreover, as a local powerhouse here, many things would be much easier to handle if he intervened.
The banquet that night was held very successfully, and Zhang Ran also reached a few cooperation projects with some other companies.
They were all small projects, such as drug exports for Yaotian Pharmaceutical and the construction of factories and the like.
These were small projects for Zhang Ran, but for the vast majority of people, they were big projects.
Just for Yaotian Pharmaceutical alone, the project funds were nearly five billion RMB!
Therefore, besides witnessing Zhang Ran's financial power once again, everyone became even more enthusiastic.
Not only Yin Long, but even He Qing was surrounded by many people; as Zhang Ran's secretary, and currently his only secretary, her status was still very high.
The next morning, news about Zhang Ran's arrival in South Africa had already appeared in major newspapers and media.
Due to the several agreements initially reached at the banquet yesterday, it was touted even more extensively in South Africa. For a time, Zhang Ran's prominence directly surpassed that of the inspection delegation.
At the same time, some people also received the news; for example, Whale received the news immediately, and at the same time, he also saw Zhang Ran's photo!
