Chapter 694: 690. The Arrogant Zhang Ran (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
Furthermore, Zhanfu Investment was actually somewhat insatiable; during the negotiations, they assumed Fengli Finance couldn't do without them, and their asking price was shockingly high.
"No rush, let's wait for someone to arrive. I cannot handle this matter," Zhao Lifeng said indifferently.
Since Liu Lu had already notified Zhang Ran, then this matter should be left to Zhang Ran to handle; in any case, he did not have the same confidence as Zhang Ran.
"How could that be? Mr. Zhao, although they are your compatriots, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to shield them like this?"
"Heh, shielding? I hope you can still say that in a moment." Zhao Lifeng couldn't even be bothered to pay them any mind.
Zhanfu Investment is the largest investment company in Russia, and the shareholders within it are intricate and complex; it is also a very good business partner.
After all, since Fengli Finance wants to enter the Russian market, the connections that need to be cleared and the interests involved are terrifyingly messy.
If they had Zhanfu Investment entering the fray, then things would be much easier for him.
However, as far as Zhao Lifeng knew, Zhang Ran also had very deep connections over in Russia.
Seeing that everyone was somewhat confused, Zhao Lifeng thought about the current situation and decided not to hide it any longer.
"Let me introduce everyone. This Ms. Zhang Siyan is the daughter of our major shareholder, Mr. Zhang Ran, and this Ms. Liu Lu is Mr. Zhang Ran's daughter-in-law," Zhao Lifeng introduced.
As soon as these words were spoken, many people were so surprised that their mouths hung wide open.
This...
At this moment, they understood why Zhao Lifeng's attitude had been so good; it turned out these two were Zhang Ran's daughter and daughter-in-law!
The people from Zhanfu Investment had expressions that changed again and again!
They had long heard of Zhang Ran's name; back in the day, Zhang Ran had caused quite a stir over there, and a massive one at that.
The most critical thing was that Zhang Ran and the Nikolayev Family had a very good relationship, and it wasn't just about business cooperation.
Moreover, according to some information he understood, recently, the Nikolayev Family had already begun secretly transferring some commercial assets, and the recipient was Zhang Ran.
The most critical point was that no matter what, the Nikolayev Family was a top-tier family in Russia; they were just taking precautions, and there was no sign of them weakening at all.
The Nikolayev Family was still one of the shareholders of Zhanfu Investment, and one of the most important ones at that!
Now, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
As for Fulikesi, he was completely dumbfounded at this moment!
Of course he knew Zhang Ran; after all, this name had been resounding throughout the business world for some time.
And being able to be mentioned in such an occasion, combined with Zhao Lifeng's attitude, it was absolutely correct.
Fu Meiting also knew Zhang Ran, but her mind was a bit blank at this moment; she felt these people seemed to have mistaken something.
"Mr. Zhao, did you make a mistake? She is just an ordinary person. In the past, she only came from a single-parent family, and she even became an orphan in high school. Were you deceived?" Fu Meiting's tone was very flustered.
As soon as these words were spoken, the look in Zhao Lifeng's eyes toward her changed. You dare to say this too?
Others also looked at Zhao Lifeng. Could he really have been deceived?
And just at this moment, a person's voice came from outside, "He didn't mistake anything. Zhang Siyan is indeed my, Zhang Ran's, own daughter."
As the voice fell, Zhang Ran was seen walking in with a face as cold as frost. This was something he had never shown in front of outsiders, and it was clear that his mood was very poor at this moment!
"Dad!" Zhang Siyan and Liu Lu spoke up one after another.
Zhang Ran managed a forced smile and said, "Are you two alright?"
"Dad, we've caused you trouble," Liu Lu said with some embarrassment.
Zhang Ran waved his hand and said, "It's not your fault. You did nothing wrong."
After finishing, he looked at the others, especially the two, Fulikesi and his companion, and said in a cold, stern tone, "Now, don't tell me even you think I'm a fake?"
"This... how is this possible? You are so young..." Seeing Zhang Ran for the first time, Fu Meiting was dumbfounded. This was not the person from the airport.
Fulikesi was the same, but looking at the others, although they were somewhat surprised, no one was shocked or stepped in to stop it. Clearly, this Zhang Ran was that Zhang Ran.
"Mr. Zhang Ran, it was our employee's mistake. We will punish him properly," the person from Zhanfu Investment said decisively.
The moment he saw Zhang Ran, he knew the situation was unsalvageable; trying to save face would be very difficult.
But at this time, Zhao Lifeng had already quietly recounted what had just happened, and the look Zhang Ran gave him was very cold.
"Heh, so you're the one who wanted to send my daughter to prison?" Zhang Ran said, looking at him.
"Mr. Zhang, it was just a misunderstanding before!" the Zhanfu Investment person said with a frown.
"A misunderstanding? Very good. I actually really want to have a misunderstanding. She is right here now; why don't you try sending her to prison?" Zhang Ran pointed at Zhang Siyan and said to him in a cold, stern tone.
Seeing Zhang Ran being so aggressive, the Zhanfu Investment person also got a bit angry, "Mr. Zhang, there's no need to be so..."
"Screw your mother. I'm telling you today—no, I'm telling everyone—if there's any issue, come at me. I'll take on whatever it is.
Whoever dares to lay a hand on my family, just wait and see if I still have the courage I had back in the day!" Zhang Ran interrupted in a rage.
At this moment, Zhang Ran seemed incomparably furious, looking at those people without any courtesy. At this moment, even Zhao Lifeng was stunned; he hadn't expected Zhang Ran to be this angry.
"You can try. Also, don't think that just because you're in Russia I can't do anything to you. If you dare to touch my family, believe it or not, tomorrow morning will be the anniversary of your whole family's death!" Zhang Ran was not being polite at all as he spoke.
He was this angry for two reasons: one was that this matter truly made him furious, and the other was that he wanted to take the opportunity to express his stance.
The things he was going to do next were also very threatening, and they would touch upon quite a few interests; he needed to intimidate these people first.
As for Fulikesi, he didn't dare to speak at this moment and was hiding in a corner, shivering.
But it was useless. Before Zhang Ran even had to speak, He Yong dragged him out directly, and immediately two screams of agony were heard; Fulikesi's two legs had been broken.
Zhang Ran's eyes stared fixedly at the Zhanfu Investment person. The Zhanfu Investment person felt a tremor in his heart; he could tell that Zhang Ran was not lying.
"Also, tell your shareholders that if you are still in this position, then there is no need to talk about Zhanfu. You are not qualified to talk," Zhang Ran said.
Zhao Lifeng's eyes flickered, and he didn't speak, but he was secretly happy in his heart. No matter what, Zhanfu Investment had been taught a harsh lesson this time, and the subsequent negotiations would go much smoother.
Zhang Ran wasn't interfering in his affairs; instead, he was creating opportunities for him.
Of course, this could also reflect from the side that Zhang Ran actually had a certain level of influence over Zhanfu Investment, which might not necessarily be a good thing for Zhao Lifeng.
