Chapter 796: 791. Cooperating with you is the most correct choice I have made (Please subscribe and vote for monthly tickets)

Zhang Ran listened to Liu Ruiming's words, his mind constantly weighing them; in truth, Zhang Ran did not care about Liu Ruiming's private connections here.

Zhang Ran still possessed this bit of self-confidence, but since the other party could be so candid and provide such strong support, this favor still had to be accepted.

Moreover, if Liu Ruiming were to enter the upper echelons of the National Commercial Bank in the future and occupy a position of influence, it would also be beneficial for Zhang Ran later on.

To say nothing else, just when money was tight, the speed and limits of loans here would be of no small help.

What Liu Ruiming said was actually a matter of mutual benefit, it was just that Liu Ruiming had never been able to gauge Zhang Ran's attitude accurately.

If this were someone else, being able to receive such a gesture of goodwill from a bank executive like Liu Ruiming—who was also about to enter headquarters and serve as a high-level official with real power—they would probably have been crazy with joy; for an enterprise, a bank is of vital importance.

The relationship between an enterprise and a bank is likewise the same.

Therefore, being able to have such an opportunity, most people would be too excited to react.

This was just Zhang Ran, and Liu Ruiming knew some of Zhang Ran's past affairs.

However, what he did not know was that Zhang Ran was basically going to use his previous connections for the Yuanran Charity Foundation.

But these were no big deal; after all, what Liu Ruiming was doing was actually just a small matter, as he wasn't forcefully pushing someone without qualifications or background into office.

Liu Ruiming's qualifications and background were actually sufficient, it was just that he was likely still lacking a little, and didn't have one hundred percent certainty.

After pondering for a long time, a smile appeared on Zhang Ran's face, "Of course that is fine. With Manager Liu's help, I believe our company will be able to achieve greater and better development."

Zhang Ran could not refuse such a matter; no matter which way one looked at it, this was the case.

Hearing Zhang Ran say this, a flash of joy appeared in Liu Ruiming's eyes, and he hurriedly said, "Haha, this is truly wonderful. With these words from Mr. Zhang, my heart is much more at ease."

"Manager Liu is too polite, we are just helping each other out," Zhang Ran also laughed.

After the two had settled the matter, Liu Ruiming immediately brought out the gift he had prepared.

"These are relatively high-quality assets screened out by our bank, but due to various issues, problems have arisen regarding funds and some aspects of credit.

These are shares and some equipment, venues, and so on that have been mortgaged with us. If Mr. Zhang is interested, you can acquire some. I dare not guarantee any excess, but in any case, you certainly won't lose money," Liu Ruiming said with a smile.

Zhang Ran took the documents and looked them over briefly, finding that these industries were actually quite good. Most belonged to promising sectors; although they were far from comparable to his own industries, they were generally quite good.

Liu Ruiming was not wrong to do this; in any case, this was not the main area of operation for the National Commercial Bank, and there were many things they could not directly intervene in.

Of course they had to dispose of these shares, but how to dispose of them was also a skill.

In some respects, as long as one summarizes this business from various angles, as long as there is no loss, then it is a minor issue.

For example, with these assets, as long as the price Zhang Ran offers can offset their loan amounts, plus some other miscellaneous items, then no one would be able to find fault with what Liu Ruiming did; at most, there would be some idle gossip.

This was the cooperation gift Liu Ruiming was giving to Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran thought for a moment and did not refuse, instead saying to Yin Long, "Send the documents to Li Cheng and let him pick some out."

After finishing, he looked at He Yong again, "Dayong, you pick two as well. I will pay the money for you first, and I will also invest in them at that time. You can use your future dividends as collateral for that money."

These industries were indeed good, but to Zhang Ran, they were just so-so.

After all, if it were something that could truly catch Zhang Ran's eye, Liu Ruiming would not be able to make this decision.

So he prepared to give some benefits to his subordinates. Giving them to Li Cheng was to let him have a stable rear guard, so that if he could truly let go in the future and return to a normal life, he would have a place to settle down.

As for He Yong, Zhang Ran would naturally think of him when there were benefits. He had given him a company before, and now he was taking this opportunity to set up another industry for him.

He Yong wanted to refuse, but Zhang Ran did not give him the chance, instead saying to He Qing, "Xiao Qing, you should also urge your father on your end. When the time comes, if he should find someone new, he should; if it really doesn't work out and he can still accept it, he can just make do and live with your mother."

He Qing nodded earnestly; in fact, she also wanted her father to remarry, but He Yong did not have any thoughts in that regard at all.

At the very least, before Zhang Ran truly retired, he would not look for anyone.

"Also, Xiao Long, you pick two good companies and buy them in my personal name. Arrange for professional managers to handle the management; I might have use for these in the future," Zhang Ran said.

Yin Long nodded and said, "Alright, Brother Zhang, I will arrange it."

Seeing that Zhang Ran did not refuse, Liu Ruiming was even happier, because for him, this was a good start.

After finishing these matters, Zhang Ran smiled at Liu Ruiming and said, "Manager Liu, thank you for your kindness. I will accept this with a thick skin."

"Haha, it should be that Mr. Zhang has done me a huge favor; otherwise, these would be quite difficult matters to handle," Liu Ruiming was still so good with words.

Zhang Ran shook his head with a laugh; this Liu Ruiming really knew how to make people feel pleasant. As long as it wasn't too blatant, his ability to flatter was absolute.

"Let's not talk more about these; regarding the price, this is what I am thinking," Zhang Ran said, not giving Liu Ruiming any extra time to think.

"Increase the price by ten percent according to your figures. Of course, this is just a rough number; the specifics will be reported in detail after my people have inspected them. I definitely won't make things difficult for Manager Liu; after all, this is just a small amount of money, and it wouldn't be good for people to point fingers," Zhang Ran said.

Liu Ruiming looked at Zhang Ran, momentarily stunned; it was his first time seeing someone push money away. Moreover, these were benefits delivered to his doorstep, and even if there were issues in the future, they would be Liu Ruiming's personal matters, absolutely not involving Zhang Ran.

Liu Ruiming put away the smile on his face, becoming much more solemn, and exclaimed, "Mr. Zhang, you truly exceed my expectations. This is my first time seeing someone like you."

As he spoke, Liu Ruiming laughed, "But this also makes me believe that cooperating with you is definitely the most correct choice I have ever made."
