Chapter 806: 801. I Even Cried for You (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Zhang Ran also quickly understood the intention behind this Valuation Bet Agreement, and looking at Ke Zhengde, he remarked with emotion, "You all are afraid I won't put my heart into it."

Indeed, if this Valuation Bet Agreement did not exist, Zhang Ran would certainly still do what he ought to do, but he truly might not necessarily use every ounce of effort to do it.

After all, in his heart, he felt that he alone could not change such matters; he could only do his best, and as for the final result, he truly did not care too much.

But now it is different; the benefits of this are simply astonishing, especially regarding banking business in Huaxia, and having the National Commercial Bank as an endorsement.

The ability to attract deposits like this is simply too good; the most fundamental point is that there is no need to worry about credit issues, meaning there is no fear of them going bankrupt and running away.

Although it is said that these Sida Hang of Huaxia also have the possibility of bankruptcy, such an event is infinitesimal and basically impossible to happen, unless...

Therefore, the reputation aspect can be guaranteed, and Huaxia people are a nation well-known for liking to save money, so in terms of the ability to attract deposits, it is a very good choice.

The most critical thing is that as long as this bank is established and gains a firm foothold domestically, he can then carry out a major integration of all his industries both domestically and abroad.

So, if Zhang Ran was only trying his best to do it at the beginning, then now that he has received such a promise, he must go all out to do it.

Because once successful, the benefits brought about would be simply astonishing, saving him a lot of effort.

And if Zhang Ran could not grasp such an opportunity, he would truly have no face to continue in the business world.

"That is not the intention; it is merely mutual benefit," Ke Zhengde said with a smile.

Zhang Ran was too lazy to say more to him about such matters and continued to ask, "Do the others know about some of the things involved in this?"

Zhang Ran was asking about people like Li Da.

Ke Zhengde said, "Of course they don't know; they only received some slight hints, and those were only hints regarding the cooperation with you."

People like Li Da are completely unqualified to get involved in such matters, and in fact, the candidates this time were also selected by them.

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "That is good."

He was truly afraid that some unexpected matters would disrupt some of his plans.

Next, Ke Zhengde began to explain to him in detail some of the preparations they had made regarding this matter, as well as the aspects they expected Zhang Ran to achieve.

The things Zhang Ran actually needs to do are not many; the first is to increase their influence in South Africa's commerce; only if the influence is large enough is it possible to influence the merchants here.

At the same time, it is also hoped that Zhang Ran will use his personal influence to unite some other enterprises from abroad.

To say nothing else, just some merchants from Russia; if these people could also be pulled in, the effect that could be achieved would be even better.

The second is to slowly begin to lay out some sales-related plans here, such as shopping malls, supermarkets, and so on.

At the same time, once the layout reaches a certain level, it will be possible to directly recognize the settlement of Huaxia currency.

As for the connections and other things needed for this, Ke Zhengde indicated that they could help resolve those.

"No wonder you came to me; you really have no way to do such things yourselves," Zhang Ran said.

These matters truly require private enterprises to handle them; if a State-owned Enterprise or the like were to get involved, the meaning represented would be different.

In that case, people would be on guard against these things in every possible way, and it probably wouldn't be that easy; it must be said that sometimes, don't look at it as just a difference in name, it actually represents quite a lot.

The two chatted like this until evening, then began to eat; Ke Zhengde did not leave that night and stayed at Zhang Ran's place.

However, later on, the two did not discuss these serious matters anymore and were just chatting about some things from the past, beginning to reminisce.

"You say, you fellow are really something; to think I used to treat you as a good brother, but you, you never came to find me once. Back then, when I found out you had disappeared, I even cried; now that I think about it, those two tears were fed to the dogs," Ke Zhengde had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and since there were only the two of them, his speech became uninhibited.

Or perhaps it was that only here with Zhang Ran could he slightly release the emotions in his heart.

After all, at his position, basically, no matter when, he has to be careful and cautious in his speech and actions.

Zhang Ran said with a smile, "Tsk tsk tsk, I really didn't see it; you could actually shed tears for me?"

"You think I'm like you? I am a person who values relationships," Ke Zhengde said, using 'I' (laozi) in every sentence, speaking so freely.

He could not remember how long it had been since he had spoken like this; when he was still a small section member, at that time, he basically used 'I' (laozi) in every sentence, and there were no taboos in his speech.

Now it's fine; let alone swearing, even when encountering frustrating things, one has to wear a smile—it is truly hard to put into words!

"Fine, fine, fine, I accept your favor, is that enough? It is my fault," Zhang Ran said hurriedly, seeing that this fellow was about to get anxious.

However, Zhang Ran's heart also warmed; he knew that Ke Zhengde had no need to lie about this matter, as Zhang Ran now did not have much help to offer him.

And Zhang Ran had also clearly stated that he would not get involved, so Ke Zhengde had no need to perform in front of him.

As Ke Zhengde spoke, he sighed and said, "Old Zhang, I don't want to say anything else; I'll just say one thing: this matter has only benefits and no harm for you. Even if it doesn't succeed, there is no harm; as long as you try your best, someone will remember this favor."

Zhang Ran nodded; he certainly agreed with this very much, and he also said earnestly, "Thanks!"

He knew that Ke Zhengde and the others must have fought for this for him; otherwise, how could such generous conditions be cheap for him?

This was no longer just generous; it was simply a pie falling from the sky!

Ke Zhengde waved his hand and said, "Don't say that; actually, this is what you deserve. If it weren't for that incident, and you had disappeared for so long, you probably would have finished all this yourself long ago."

Zhang Ran smiled and said nothing, though his heart felt some sighs; this was indeed a fact. He had long had such intentions, but the timing was not mature enough at the time, so he could only put it aside for now. But once put aside, it was twenty-eight years, directly missing many opportunities for development.
