Chapter 808: 803. The Security Company's Mission (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
Ke Zhengde's visit this time completely disrupted all of Zhang Ran's plans, but the benefits offered were astonishingly large.
That is why Zhang Ran decided to scrap all his previous plans and start over.
Of course, this was also because the other side gave him enough respect; the requirements they proposed were basically in line with his plans, and there were no points of conflict.
At most, it added some difficulty for him, but compared to the returns, this was still insignificant.
If Zhang Ran hadn't lost these nearly thirty years of time, he estimated that the returns would have already been realized, but what's missed is missed, and there was nothing Zhang Ran could do about it.
So now that such an opportunity had arisen, Zhang Ran could not afford to miss it; this was one piece of his commercial layout.
He had previously thought there was absolutely no chance left, but he hadn't expected the opportunity to arrive so suddenly in the end.
Zhang Ran gave many instructions to Yin Long and the others, then immediately had them go to prepare.
By the next morning, Li Cheng had arrived; after receiving the notification from He Yong, he had rushed over here overnight, arriving at three in the morning, and got up to see Zhang Ran after resting only a little.
"Brother Zhang." Li Cheng walked up to Zhang Ran and greeted him.
Zhang Ran looked at his appearance and said, "Why are you in such a rush? The matter isn't urgent for the moment; hurry up and sit down, eat something."
Li Cheng didn't stand on ceremony with Zhang Ran either; he knew Zhang Ran didn't like that kind of fake politeness, so he sat down very casually, and while stuffing food into his mouth, he said, "Brother Zhang, what exactly is the matter? I still don't know; I just heard Yong Ge say there was a big deal, and it was very urgent, so I rushed over, and at the same time, I notified my people to all head this way."
Zhang Ran immediately looked at He Yong; how did this guy notify him?
He had said to let Yin Long handle the notification, but in reality, Yin Long and Li Cheng had no contact at all; the communication channels were controlled by He Yong and Zhang Ran.
The security forces around Li Cheng and Zhang Ran were forces that Zhang Ran needed to keep hidden; apart from Zhang Ran himself, no one could directly control them.
If anyone dared to have designs on this, let alone Zhang Ran himself, even He Yong would choose to nip the threat in the bud at the first opportunity.
Yin Long saw this very clearly, so regarding such matters, even if Zhang Ran hadn't thought that much at the time, he still handed the matter over to He Yong at the first opportunity afterward.
Of course, it wasn't that Li Cheng and Yin Long could never meet; on the contrary, Zhang Ran did not oppose them meeting.
Just like this time, arranging for Li Cheng to come here to invest, coming here was all arranged by Yin Long, it was just that they were not allowed to contact each other privately.
"I didn't hear that the matter was indeed quite important, so I just told him to come over quickly." He Yong felt a bit embarrassed under Zhang Ran's gaze, scratched the back of his head, grinned, and said with a silly laugh.
Zhang Ran had no way to deal with He Yong; every time he made these unimportant mistakes, He Yong was like this, and Zhang Ran was helpless.
"Alright, don't go tossing others around so vaguely next time; you're not young anymore," Zhang Ran said.
"Mm, I'll pay attention," He Yong said with a serious expression.
It was just that whether it was Zhang Ran or others, they actually understood that He Yong hadn't remembered it at all, or rather, if he really encountered a similar situation again, he would still do the same.
Li Cheng himself didn't care and said with a smile, "It's fine, don't look at the age, but it's about the same as young people."
After boasting a bit, he asked, "Brother Zhang, what exactly is the matter?"
Zhang Ran had originally intended to have Yin Long notify Li Cheng in advance, which would also give him some time to think.
But it didn't matter; Zhang Ran would also give Li Cheng some time to consider.
"It's like this: I am preparing for you to establish a Security Company. The main task is to protect some Huaxia merchants coming here to invest, and at the same time, to provide some deterrence against some local lawless organizations and build up a reputation.
Sometimes, you might even need to do things that are not easy to do openly, and you might encounter some dangers." Zhang Ran told him the situation in detail.
Li Cheng didn't hesitate at all and said directly, "Brother Zhang, no problem, just tell me how to do it."
As for danger?
He had always been in danger; how could it be more dangerous than on the battlefield?
Moreover, Li Cheng thought even more; this was clearly another one of Zhang Ran's layouts. Thinking back, every company or industry that Zhang Ran laid out basically had very good development and achievements now.
If he could occupy a position in this layout, he could also secure a better path for himself and his old brothers.
He certainly knew that Zhang Ran calling him over this time was for their future path, but now that something better had appeared before him, and it was the most suitable for them, he would naturally not hesitate.
And the most critical thing was that he believed Zhang Ran would absolutely not treat them unfairly, as long as they guaranteed their loyalty.
Zhang Ran waved his hand and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to make a decision. This is not a small matter, and it concerns your future. This is not just your own business; you still need to discuss it with your friends.
The most critical thing is that they will no longer be free agents; they won't be able to do whatever they want, and they will need some constraints. Can they agree to all of this?"
Li Cheng just wanted to speak, but was cut off by Zhang Ran again, "Don't be in a rush to answer. This matter is very important; once implemented, it is best not to have any accidents, so I also need you to take this job seriously.
This is not like before when I let you buy property here; that way, it didn't matter what you did here, but once you agree to this, it will be different.
Also, you cannot represent the opinions of others. You tell them that I don't have any hard requirements for this matter; if they don't want to join, I can still let them settle down and buy property here."
Zhang Ran's requirements for this were very high; it wasn't something that could be finished by just muddling through, because if one was careless, it would really cost lives.
It was even more related to the massive layout behind it. Ke Zhengde wasn't just asking Zhang Ran to promote Huaxia currency in South Africa; it would be best if it were the whole of Africa.
Of course, in such a large environment, the ones leading it wouldn't be Zhang Ran, but those State-owned Enterprises; they had been rooted here for so many years and had the strength and energy.
However, they also needed Zhang Ran to provide a little help; the more help provided, the more returns would be gained in the end.
Upon hearing Zhang Ran's words, Li Cheng didn't rush to answer for a moment; indeed, this matter still needed to be discussed with the others.
