Chapter 623: 619. Is there really such a good boss? (Seeking subscriptions and monthly tickets)

Just as Zhang Ran had expected, these people soon began to grow impatient; they were not willing to let such an opportunity slip by.

"Mr. Zhang, we have no difficulties. How about this, Mr. Zhang, when do you plan to go and conduct an inspection?" someone asked.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "I might head over there in the near future, but I've heard that there is someone called the Whale Shark Organization active in that area recently. I've looked into it a little, and this organization can be described as notorious, so I am also worried about whether our business will be affected when the time comes."

Zhang Ran's seemingly casual words truly made many people in the room take notice; at this moment, they all subconsciously regarded the Whale Shark Organization as an enemy.

It was not that they were stupid, but that this was reality.

Who let the Whale Shark Organization stand in the way of them making money now?

As for whether Zhang Ran had a grudge against the Whale Shark Organization?

What did that have to do with them?

As long as Zhang Ran invested here, and Fengli Group and Yaotian Pharmaceutical both established branches here, they would make money too, and then the Whale Shark Organization would be their enemy!

"Mr. Zhang, rest assured, we here in Sudan will certainly provide investors with a stable environment; I can guarantee this," the official said solemnly.

If they could really finalize Zhang Ran's investment this time, the benefits for them would be immense.

Hearing this, Zhang Ran also gave his own promise, "As long as the investment environment is stable, then my investment here will be absolutely no problem."

Once these words were spoken, everyone's focus was immediately unified; at this moment, the Whale Shark Organization and some others would become their enemies.

The banquet was held very successfully; at the very least, everyone got the answers they wanted, and being able to cooperate with Zhang Ran was a great thing for them.

Finally, Zhang Ran kept a few representatives and said to them, "I hear that Red Sea Province has been a bit chaotic lately, and I've also heard some things. I think it's better to do this: let them be chaotic for a while first, and wait until they all show their heads, so it will be easier to deal with them."

"Since Mr. Zhang has said so, then we have absolutely no problem with that." Some people saw that Zhang Ran's motives were not pure, but they didn't care about that; they only cared about the investment.

"Thank you. However, since you are all local power brokers in Sudan, please inform me if you have any news, so I can be prepared on my end," Zhang Ran said.

"Mr. Zhang, rest assured, we will definitely notify you in time if we have any news."

"Yes, we will also dispatch some guard teams over there."

Hearing their assurances, Zhang Ran smiled, reached out, and shook hands with them one by one, "I believe we will have a pleasant cooperation this time."

"Happy to cooperate!" The few of them also wore smiles.

Siweite and his group were also gathered together; at this time, they somewhat understood who Zhang Ran's target was.

"Does the Whale Shark Organization have any conflict with Zhang Ran?" Siweite asked with a frown; they had all heard those words of Zhang Ran's.

"Not clear. No one knows exactly how many things Zhang Ran did back in the day," Tuomas also shook his head helplessly.

"I have a guess on my end. Have you heard about the affairs of the Underground World?" Teng Guoqiang said with flickering eyes.

Siweite said, "You mean to say that Zhang Ran is the 'Rich Man'?"

He had also guessed this; after all, the intent was somewhat obvious.

"There is that possibility, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence. By the way, how much do you know about this Rich Man?" Teng Guoqiang said.

Siweite said, "Not much, but I do know one thing: thirty years ago, there was a major covert operation here in Europe and America. Many large companies were involved, and it seems this 'Rich Man' participated in it."

"However, most people suffered heavy losses that time, and a few companies were almost devastated because of it. I heard the 'Rich Man' also suffered no small loss."

Siweite was not very clear about these matters either; he had only heard some things occasionally. After all, he was just a college student who had just graduated back then, and he only knew this much because of his family connections and some anecdotes and gossip.

"If Zhang Ran really is the 'Rich Man', what should we do?" Tuomas asked.

Teng Guoqiang said, "What else can we do? Unless you give up this gold mine development, otherwise you can only listen to Zhang Ran."

This was a fact; Zhang Ran had planned it out from the very beginning, and he would not give up the power in these people's hands.

"Regardless of this, we just need to do our own thing, and even if there is a grudge, the grudge won't entangle us," Siweite said.

Soon, the few reached a consensus; in fact, there was no other choice. Let them give up the gold mine?

That was obviously impossible.

Meanwhile, Li Cheng and his group had already arrived in Red Sea Province and were hiding in a warehouse; this was the hiding spot they had chosen.

"Cheng, what do we do? I've received news that the Whale is about ten miles away from the port." Scorpion was somewhat impatient.

The others also had eyes gleaming with intensity; they had already made preparations. Zhang Ran had resolved all their future troubles for them, and now it was time for them to repay Zhang Ran.

However, just as they were eager to try, Li Cheng shook his head and said, "Don't be hasty. The Whale is not that easy to deal with."

"But..." Scorpion was a bit anxious.

"But what?"

"But Mr. Zhang has already issued the mission, fifty million US dollars! We can't let Mr. Zhang lose that for nothing," Scorpion said anxiously.

They also knew that this mission was issued by Zhang Ran.

Li Cheng asked in return, "Then do you know why Brother Zhang issued this mission?"

"He definitely doesn't trust us," Viper said without hesitation.

There was no resentment in the words about not being trusted by Zhang Ran; the tone was very calm, which was normal.

The others also nodded; they had all guessed the same thing.

Li Cheng, however, shook his head and said, "Wrong. It's not that he doesn't trust us, but that he is protecting us."

"How so?" Viper was a bit surprised.

"You still don't understand Brother Zhang's character. Since we are his people now, working for him, he will do his utmost to protect us," Li Cheng said leisurely.

"Fifty million US dollars? Is it a lot? It's a lot! But to Brother Zhang, it's just like that. He is willing to spend this money to act as our pathfinder."

"Boss, what do you mean?" Viper was a bit skeptical of Li Cheng's words. Is there really such a boss? And one who treats people like them this way!

Li Cheng had a smile on his face, but his tone was extremely serious, "That is exactly what Brother Zhang means. He never lets his own people take risks easily, and even if they do take risks, there will be foolproof preparations."

"I can stake my life on this, which is why I told you not to be in a hurry to act."
