Chapter 791: 786. Knowing Full Well (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yin Long arrived at the villa where Zhang Ran was staying. This place had long been prepared, and after He Yong had re-inspected and arranged everything, Zhang Ran had moved in.
If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Ran will be staying here for quite some time to come.
The news of Zhang Ran's arrival was not kept secret; starting from last night, phone calls had been coming in, and since this morning, people had been coming to visit incessantly.
When Yin Long arrived, there were still people here.
Last time, Zhang Ran said that the cooperation with Fengli Group here had already seen initial results, and there was also the construction of the Yaotian Pharmaceutical factory.
However, this was not yet finished.
The people who came this time were relevant officials from South Africa, and they came specifically for the matter of Yaotian Pharmaceutical.
Yaotian Pharmaceutical had undergone such a major change, and they had all heard the news.
After all, this matter could actually be considered an important event for their country, because once the pharmaceutical factory was built, the cost of many medicines in their country would drop sharply.
Furthermore, many of Yaotian Pharmaceutical's patented drugs were bestsellers for them.
Now they were all worried that this matter would be suddenly shelved, which would be bad.
It should be known that since this news was announced, it had been receiving the attention of ordinary people in South Africa.
Some time ago, problems arose within Huaxia's Yaotian Pharmaceutical, and after a major purge by Zhang Ran, many people were terrified.
Added to the fact that Yin Long didn't care about Yaotian Pharmaceutical's affairs at all, they couldn't get any useful information when they came to find Yin Long, and Yin Long wouldn't promise anything on Zhang Ran's behalf, just brushing them off.
That was why, as soon as Zhang Ran arrived, they couldn't wait to come and ask about the situation.
This was still because people had been occupying Zhang Ran's time; otherwise, they would have actually arrived in the morning.
It was truly because there were too many people visiting Zhang Ran this time; some who were originally still on the sidelines were actually vaguely starting to prepare to pick a side at this moment.
Everyone also knew Zhang Ran's purpose for coming here, and it was actually not hard to guess; apart from some companies and financial groups that had only recently entered the game, many old shareholders understood his intentions.
Added to the fact that Luode Xiongmei had actually been preparing to persuade some people during this time, everyone was still able to understand.
There was also what Zhang Ran had done in the United States, as well as some other preparations, which actually caused many people's hearts to waver.
Especially since Zhang Ran's wealth and influence were recovering rapidly, it made many people think of the situation back then, so people who were wavering like this began to increase.
Coming here this time was also to see Zhang Ran's intentions and to see if they could obtain some benefits from his side.
"Please rest assured, the matter of the Yaotian pharmaceutical factory will absolutely not be delayed; everything is proceeding according to the process," Zhang Ran said with a smile.
"That's good, I was just a little worried, we can still trust Mr. Zhang's credibility," the visitor said with a chuckle, and a relaxed smile returned to his face.
Heaven knows what he had experienced during this time; he had to be asked about the situation by all kinds of people every day, which made him very anxious and nervous.
Now it was fine; Zhang Ran had said in person that this factory was okay, so he felt a little more at ease.
"By the way, Mr. Zhang, when can the construction of the factory here roughly resume?" the official asked.
Since last time, the construction of the factory here had actually been suspended; it was really because such a big thing had happened at the Headquarters in the country, and the senior executive in charge of the factory's construction had been sent in by Zhang Ran directly.
It was already quite good that Yaotian Pharmaceutical could stabilize itself by now; there really wasn't much time to manage things here.
Zhang Ran smiled and said: "Don't worry, it will be soon. There were some problems within the company, which caused a slight delay, but rest assured, the work here will be completed by working overtime, and it won't delay much time."
"Of course, no matter what, we still need your strong support."
The official immediately said: "Please rest assured, we will give the green light all the way."
Zhang Ran nodded and said: "That would be best. By the way, there is also the fact that the management of the factory here needs to be strengthened in the future; do not let the chaotic situation of the Headquarters occur. If it really reaches an irreparable point, it is not something you or I would like to see."
As soon as these words were spoken, the official's eyes suddenly sharpened, knowing that this counted as a warning from Zhang Ran.
He did not feel that Zhang Ran was making a mountain out of a molehill, because according to some information he knew, there were already people eyeing the factory.
It should be known that once the factory is built and successfully produces medicine, the profit margin here is simply astonishing.
By using some other means, one could make a fortune, and there were no shortage of people who were jealous.
Therefore, Zhang Ran's worry was not without reason.
And this was also the normal situation in South Africa, or rather, Africa; many people knew that this was actually an undeveloped treasure land, and many projects had astonishing potential.
But the number of people who came here to break new ground was still small. Why?
It was because it was too chaotic here. Although South Africa was the most developed country in this region and was even listed among developed countries, those who knew the actual situation understood that it was not like that at all.
Just like how Huaxia was still a developing country; who believes that?
The world's second-largest economy is actually a developing country; how many developed countries are ashamed of this?
The investment environment here had never been very good; if something went wrong, there was really nowhere to reason.
Those who could come here for large-scale investment were companies with deep strength, or simply those with state backing; for example, many State-owned Enterprises from Huaxia had investments here.
To put it bluntly, it was having the strength to get back at someone when suffering a loss; otherwise, one would really lose everything and have nowhere to reason.
Of course, there were also bold people who came here to hunt for treasure, and there were indeed people who made a fortune, but if one was not careful, one might lose everything, and even lose one's life; this was not a joke.
"Mr. Zhang, rest assured, we will pay attention to this; please trust our investment environment."
Zhang Ran said with a chuckle: "That is of course, otherwise I wouldn't have come to invest."
Although that was said, in reality, both of them knew in their hearts that it would still depend on their own means when the time came.
If Zhang Ran could deter those people, then everything would be easy to handle; if not, it was estimated that there would still be a heavy loss.
However, this was something they both knew clearly, and it didn't need to be brought out into the open. After chatting for a while longer, the person left.
