Chapter 635: 631. Is My Promise Not Enough? (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets!)
Zhang Ran brought these matters out into the open, which took Harishi by surprise; he had originally thought he had hidden them very well.
At the very least, he had never activated these pawns in all these years, using them at most to understand the bank's movements and some inside information.
Therefore, no one had noticed anything, but now it seemed that what he had done was not very covert, as even Zhang Ran knew about it.
Zhang Ran had only returned for less than two years, after all.
Looking at the uncertain expression on Harishi's face, Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Don't overthink it. Just because I know doesn't mean others do; I have my own channels."
Harishi took a deep breath and said, "Even if I agree to you..."
"Don't say it like that. If you really don't want to go back, then just pretend I never came today," Zhang Ran said indifferently.
This old guy spoke very nicely, as if it were Zhang Ran forcing him to go back.
Harishi was choked up by Zhang Ran and looked at him speechlessly, saying, "Can you not be so calculating?"
"Am I the one being calculating?" Zhang Ran asked in return.
Harishi did not want to talk anymore; this guy really did not want to suffer even the slightest loss.
"Fine, even if I want to go back, I don't have the capital right now. You know I only have dividend rights, and I have absolutely no other rights at all.
And what about your side...?"
Regarding his question, Zhang Ran smiled and said, "I will take care of these matters; you don't need to worry."
Looking at Zhang Ran's confident appearance, Harishi did not say anything more; Zhang Ran was always able to bring people miracles!
He had a deep understanding of this point as well!
"Then what do you want me to do?" Harishi said.
"Right now, give me a copy of all the internal data you have regarding the South Africa Development Bank. Remember, it is any data. Don't hold anything back this time; if the plan fails because of one of your little thoughts, it won't just be my business alone at that point," Zhang Ran said.
Zhang Ran currently lacked someone who understood the bank, and he was not very at ease poaching someone from inside the bank right now; he might get backstabbed at any moment.
As for Harishi, Zhang Ran still understood him; his ambition had always been great, and he was certainly unwilling to give up now.
And cooperating with him was the best choice, because Zhang Ran had no other candidates who could replace his position for the time being.
Harishi was silent for a moment and said, "I know the gravity of the situation, but how can you guarantee my interests?"
Zhang Ran said indifferently, "Is my guarantee not enough?"
Harishi looked at Zhang Ran deeply and said, "It is enough."
Yes, Zhang Ran's guarantee was enough. Even if he was somewhat unwilling to admit it in his heart, there was truly no problem with Zhang Ran's credibility; he did what he said he would.
For example, when Zhang Ran chose to support him in the past, he had never been ambiguous, and he always gave maximum support when dealing with others, nor would he betray or abandon his partner because of some interests.
Sometimes, credibility is not worth mentioning, but at other times, this thing called credibility is worth a thousand pieces of gold!
If this kind of thing were replaced by someone else, no matter what kind of guarantee or conditions were given to Harishi, Harishi would still have some worries in his heart.
But when facing Zhang Ran, this kind of worry was reduced to a minimum.
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "That is fine then. I am not fighting alone this time either; I have enough capital and strength to re-enter the market, so you can rest assured."
"Does it represent the interest group of you Huaxia businessmen?" Harishi suddenly said.
Zhang Ran paused slightly and said, "You can think of it that way; it is basically about the same."
Zhang Ran had not thought about it carefully before; he had only wanted to recruit some helpers.
But now it seemed that the things represented by Nianrun Group and Zhongqiang Group were more complex, though it was a good thing for Zhang Ran.
Sometimes, the more complex the shares are, the better it is for certain matters.
Hearing Zhang Ran's reply, Harishi's eyes were somewhat complex. The South Africa Development Bank was said to be a South African bank, but in reality, it had long been outside the control of the South African government.
There were too many interests and too many forces mixed in here; it was not something an ordinary person could handle.
Now Huaxia businessmen also wanted to get a piece of the action, and he did not know what kind of mood he should have regarding this.
Although it was said that the bank's CEO had always been South African, the total control was not in the hands of the South Africans.
This made him, a native-born South African, feel very uncomfortable in his heart.
However, Harishi quickly adjusted, cast aside the inappropriate emotions, and said seriously, "Then I will wait for your news on my end."
"Fine, you should also prepare well, and don't let any problems arise with your health. I will still need you to fight for our interests when the time comes," Zhang Ran said.
"Rest assured, I know my own body," Harishi said confidently.
"That is good. I will return in two days and then set off for Europe and America. During this period, I will have people contact you. If there is anything, you also need to notify me in time," Zhang Ran stated his arrangements.
It was not easy to re-enter the market now, and Zhang Ran also needed to spend some time and costs.
However, this cost was worth it.
"Good, I will also take advantage of this time to organize all the data," Harishi said.
He had also been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to re-enter the bank, and now the opportunity had finally arrived.
The preparations he had made over these years had not been in vain.
Next, Zhang Ran discussed some specific matters with Harishi and simultaneously laid out some of his own arrangements.
Many of these matters required Harishi's cooperation, so things had to be made clear beforehand.
Moreover, this was also Zhang Ran's attitude toward doing things.
Before cooperating, he would make the pros and cons of the matter clear. If any problems arose later, then Zhang Ran would strike without mercy and without the slightest hesitation.
Harishi understood this point; he was still very clear about Zhang Ran's style of doing things.
It was eleven o'clock at night when Zhang Ran returned to the hotel. As soon as he returned, Huo Zhiyuan brought out the midnight snack she had prepared.
"I am preparing to return to the country in two days and then go to Europe and America. Will you come too?" Zhang Ran said.
"Alright, it just so happens that Siyan can handle many of the company's matters now, so I can be more relaxed. Also, some business in Europe and America needs to be expanded.
Brother Zhang, you don't know how popular our company's newly launched perfume is, especially in Europe and America. I also need to go and take a close look this time," Huo Zhiyuan said happily.
Zhang Ran nodded, "That is for the best, and it won't delay your affairs."
While they were chatting, a video call from the two little ones came through, and they chatted until very late before going to sleep.
