Chapter 786: 781. Imparting Experience (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Zhang Ran's idea was originally just a temporary one; the specifics would have to wait until he returned from South Africa.

After all, while this matter might seem like a mere charity issue, it actually involved a great deal, and if successful, he could be considered to have truly left behind a sustainable foundation for the Zhang Family.

Given that Zhang Ran did not intend to transfer his assets abroad or set up private charity funds in foreign countries, doing this was the best choice.

As for his current companies and industries, although they seemed vast and sufficient for the Zhang Family to squander, they were not actually very secure—at the very least, they were not as secure as the private funds set up by those super-rich people abroad.

Some super-rich families abroad have had their legacies passed down for hundreds of years, and Zhang Ran naturally hoped that the Zhang Family could be passed down as well.

And all of this required a proper set of rules to achieve the goal, one that could maintain the family's normal operation even if future heirs of the Zhang Family were incompetent.

If everything he envisioned were realized, then the Yuanran Charity Foundation would become the most solid backing for the Zhang Family; as long as they didn't act too recklessly, they would basically be safe and worry-free.

Therefore, Zhang Ran prepared to take it slow and was not in a hurry, but Huo Zhiyuan was clearly interested, and she immediately understood the true meaning behind what Zhang Ran was doing.

So, she kept offering advice and strategies, sharing all her years of experience to provide Zhang Ran with some points of reference.

Zhang Ran and the others chatted like this until evening, when Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan returned.

"Dad, we're back," Zhang Sicheng said as he walked through the door.

"Hmm, how has it been lately? Why did I hear from Xiao Lu that you were throwing a tantrum at her? What? Is your temper so big now?" Zhang Ran asked, deliberately keeping a straight face.

Zhang Sicheng immediately cried foul: "Dad, I didn't! How would I dare throw a tantrum at her?"

Liu Lu just stood to the side, smiling, with no intention of explaining for him.

"I thought your temper had grown so big that I was wondering if I should start avoiding you," Zhang Ran said.

"How could I dare? I'm just annoyed to death by company matters. Dad, you were really right. Don't look at us as just a small company; the twists and turns inside are truly numerous. I didn't know until I investigated, and I was truly shocked once I did," Zhang Sicheng said, shifting the topic to this.

He had always worked as a grassroots employee before, but his previous companies were all small, with a value of at most thirty million or so.

Plus, there weren't many people, including the boss and employees, so management was simple, and there weren't many complex procedures, making it very difficult for anyone to hide things from the boss.

But the current Biaoxue Company is different; Biaoxue's valuation is now nearly one billion, although this is mainly due to the influence of the two games, *PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds* and *League of Legends*.

But for such a long time, Zhang Sicheng hadn't put all his energy into this; on the contrary, he had spent most of his energy and time on other new games.

Now, Biaoxue Games has already made a name for itself in the gaming world; whether it's online games, mobile games, or those single-player games, the reputation is already established.

Coupled with the fact that the Zhang Family is not short of money, and Zhang Sicheng is not someone who would deliberately do disgusting things for money, plus the good reputation of the games, Biaoxue Games has gradually formed a certain brand.

There are certainly no shortage of people now who say that if it's produced by Biaoxue, it must be a masterpiece.

This is not to say that all the games Biaoxue Company has made in the last two years have been excellent; they have made some poorly received games, but Biaoxue Company has a conscience—if you really don't like it, you can choose to apply for a refund, and the refund period has been extended significantly.

Game development naturally requires manpower; the current scale of Biaoxue Company has expanded several times over, and they have already moved to a new office address.

With more people come more motives, and coupled with some management flaws in the company, it led to more people having other ideas.

Zhang Sicheng hadn't noticed it before because everyone was doing things cautiously, and much of Zhang Sicheng's focus was on game development.

This led him to always think that his Biaoxue Company was still that small company from before, where no one had those kinds of thoughts.

But in reality, things had long since changed; this time, Zhang Sicheng discovered many things and also fired some people.

He had been busy with these things during this period, plus handling the aftermath, and working with Wang Tao to improve the company's rules and regulations.

Wang Tao naturally bore some responsibility for this incident, but Zhang Sicheng did not punish him too severely, only docking his year-end bonus.

Moreover, Wang Tao himself did not have his hand in the till; he perhaps just chose to turn a blind eye to certain matters.

This incident could be considered a wake-up call for Zhang Sicheng, letting him know that he could not fully trust Wang Tao in the future.

After listening to him ramble on, Zhang Ran smiled and said: "Now you know what it feels like to be treated like a fool?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Sicheng's expression turned helpless; it was true, in the eyes of many employees, he really was a fool.

"Dad, you say I've never treated them poorly, why did they..." Zhang Sicheng stopped halfway through the sentence.

He naturally understood the logic behind it, he was just feeling depressed.

"Dad, then how do you suggest I prevent such situations from happening?" Zhang Sicheng began to ask for advice.

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "It is absolutely impossible to prevent it entirely; you can only minimize such things as much as possible and make timely amends after they occur."

"As for how to minimize it, think of a way yourself. I will teach you a method for timely amends for now. Although this method isn't particularly great, it is at least not wrong."

At this point, both Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan pricked up their ears to listen, and even Liu Lu put down her work to listen carefully.

One must know that she also owns a plastic surgery hospital, and she is even more of a hands-off manager, so she also needed to know how to handle such situations.

Seeing everyone's enthusiastic appearance, Zhang Ran also became interested; he first took a sip of tea and then asked: "Do you know what is the most important thing that makes up a company?"

"What is it?" Zhang Sicheng asked subconsciously at first, then immediately realized this was a question from Zhang Ran, and hurriedly began to think carefully about the answer.

"Capital and goals?" Zhang Siyan said while thinking.

Zhang Ran did not speak, but looked at Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu. Zhang Sicheng thought for a while and said: "Systems and corporate culture?"

Zhang Ran still didn't say anything; they all had their own reasons for saying so, and Zhang Sicheng's mind was full of these things because of the previous incident.

Zhang Siyan was considering these things from the perspective of the big picture at Kangshilan; for Kangshilan, this answer was also not wrong.
