Chapter 800: 795. Huddling Together for Warmth (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

With the support of a wave of domestic enterprises, Zhang Ran instantly seized the initiative in these negotiations.

In fact, before this, South Africa had already been inclined to develop its manufacturing industry; after all, although they claim to be a developed country, no one believes it given their current state.

Therefore, if they want to develop their economy properly, they must still honestly take it one step at a time; after all, they are not places like Dubai that naturally produce oil.

Coupled with the promises Zhang Ran made this time, it was enough for them to make up their minds, which also once again demonstrates Zhang Ran's current influence.

In the time that followed, Zhang Ran continuously discussed with high-level officials in South Africa to finalize some cooperation matters.

At the same time, Zhang Ran was also contacting the domestic front, having some manufacturing bosses come over to inspect and confirm some preferential policies.

In this regard, Zhang Ran was also striving hard for their interests.

In many aspects, these people are not qualified to exchange interests with the high-level officials in South Africa, but Zhang Ran can.

Furthermore, Zhang Ran will also be investing alongside them, and the scale of the investment is likewise not small.

Although the speed at which manufacturing creates wealth is far inferior to the internet industry, it wins in stability, and the influence generated by physical industries is something the internet industry cannot compare to.

Zhang Ran is willing to invest in the internet and is very optimistic about it, but at the same time, he will not ignore physical industries; on the contrary, Zhang Ran also attaches great importance to them.

Currently, among the industries under Zhang Ran's banner, physical industries bring him a massive amount of cash flow.

As for the other internet companies, much of the capital remains only on paper unless Zhang Ran chooses to sell them off.

But this is clearly impossible, at least not right now, because these industries will continue to rise in the coming years and hold great potential.

Therefore, if Zhang Ran wants to develop and expand again now, he largely needs to rely on physical industries to provide blood transfusions.

Take Yaotian Pharmaceutical, for example; its current market value has been surpassed by Fengli Group, and it has even fallen two or three places behind.

If one only looks at market value, Yaotian Pharmaceutical is far inferior to Fengli Group.

But there is just one point that Fengli Group cannot compare to, and that is that Yaotian Pharmaceutical can provide Zhang Ran with six billion US dollars in net profit every year!

That is six billion US dollars, in cash!

It is precisely because of such sufficient cash flow that Zhang Ran does not need to be tied down when doing many things.

However, out of those six billion, four billion is profit from 'Yong Ge', which shows just how large the profit of this drug is.

No wonder many pharmaceutical companies are extremely jealous now; the most critical point is that there is still potential to be tapped in this area!

In other words, four billion US dollars in net profit per year is not the limit for 'Yong Ge'.

This is a cash cow, and one with plenty of milk at that!

Huamei Group can also provide Zhang Ran with about seven billion US dollars in profit each year.

However, a large portion of the money from Huamei needs to be kept in reserve to deal with various situations; although the profit margin of Maikai Supermarket is not high, it is not low either, and there is a massive amount of cash flow existing there.

Once Zhang Ran needs to use it, he can gather tens of billions in funds in a short period to support himself.

It can be said that the industries Zhang Ran has on the surface right now are all things that make people extremely jealous.

At the same time, there is Galaxy Capital, whose annual profits are also not low.

The industries under Zhang Ran's banner are diversified; although they have not yet formed a community of interests, relatively speaking, the difficulty of targeting Zhang Ran is becoming greater and greater.

Just like facing the temptation of 'Yong Ge', many people want to get it into their hands or force Zhang Ran to share the profits.

And Zhang Ran's connections in the upper echelons are something many people do not want to touch, so the only way is to use commercial means to force Zhang Ran to give up a portion of his profits and bring them along to make money.

To achieve this step, one must take action against Yaotian Pharmaceutical.

Obviously, this is basically unfeasible, because even if all the pharmaceutical companies united to target Yaotian Pharmaceutical.

It would only bring a certain amount of trouble to Yaotian Pharmaceutical, but it could not truly force Zhang Ran to the point of making concessions.

Because the other industries under Zhang Ran's banner are not pharmaceutical companies and are not in the same industry, yet they can provide massive help in terms of capital.

This point alone makes the vast majority of people shrink back; they truly lack the courage to target Zhang Ran—it is just too difficult!

"Mr. Zhang, thank you, I would like to propose a toast to you," Li Da said with a smile, raising his glass.

At this moment, they were already in a restaurant, and just today, the Huaxia enterprises led by Zhang Ran had reached a certain cooperation intention with South Africa.

After all, the scale involved is very large, and it is basically impossible to negotiate everything at once, but these are also a huge step forward.

Moreover, according to the current situation, the probability of the South African government going back on its word is not high.

With Zhang Ran taking the lead to unite this group of scattered forces, the energy that erupted also made many people look on with respect.

It is worth mentioning that Li Da was also the one who took the initiative to build momentum for Zhang Ran domestically this time; it can be said that ever since the first time, Li Da has stood firmly on Zhang Ran's side.

His Li Da Food Group can also be considered Zhang Ran's ironclad follower, and Zhang Ran has never treated him poorly.

He has taken care of them in every aspect.

This also solidified Li Da's intention to follow Zhang Ran.

"You're too polite; this is the result of everyone's joint efforts, and I also want to thank everyone for your support. If it weren't for everyone's support, this matter wouldn't have been so fast, and some of my personal affairs wouldn't have gone so smoothly." Zhang Ran did not beat around the bush, nor did he hide anything, telling everyone directly that his personal interests were mixed into this.

"Haha, Mr. Zhang, you are being too polite. If it weren't for you, we would never have been able to get such good conditions.

Mr. Zhang, you might not know, but our physical industries back home have already slowly started to go downhill. Let me put it this way: the money we work so hard to earn in a year, we find in the end, is far less fast and far less than the money earned by doing industries that have no output at all."

"Take me for example; it was better in previous years, but since last year, some of the company's situations haven't been good.

And this year, I had people help me speculate in stocks and do some other things, and I found that the money really comes fast. Of course, I also know that this was just my good luck.

Moreover, I feel a bit uneasy about these rather illusory things, so I still want to rely on manufacturing to make money; that feels more solid."

This person said a lot, which seemed a bit incoherent, but Zhang Ran and the others understood clearly.
