Chapter 830: 824. Building the Framework (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

"Chengzi, in a while, I will have Scorpion return to your side; you should train him well," Zhang Ran said.

Li Cheng was slightly stunned; currently, the company's armed forces were all under his control, and key positions were basically held by people within his own team.

Having Scorpion come over now was clearly telling Li Cheng that Scorpion might become his successor in the future.

In this way, this would completely become part of his own lineage; it could be said that even if Li Cheng were to retire in the future, he would still have a certain influence over the Lianhua Security Company.

However, very quickly, Li Cheng calmly accepted it.

"No problem, Brother Zhang, I will train Scorpion well," Li Cheng said earnestly.

In fact, the reason for having Scorpion go over also involved Zhang Ran's own considerations; the biggest point was actually that Li Cheng had no offspring.

This point was actually very important.

If Li Cheng also had offspring, then Zhang Ran estimated he would not let their team continue to hold this power indefinitely.

As for Meng Shu, Zhang Ran was not worried; he also saw that Meng Gu lacked this ability and, at the same time, lacked such ambition.

Moreover, relatively speaking, while Meng Shu's position seemed higher than Li Cheng's and his authority heavier, in reality, it was still not as important as Li Cheng's position.

It was simply that one was a civil post, and the other was a military officer.

And since the Security Company was a violent company, who was heavier and who was lighter was self-evident.

Yin Long had been watching from the side and did not express his own views; he would not express his views on this matter either, otherwise, it would truly be ungrateful.

Just then, He Yong, who had not spoken, said: "I will arrange for people to secretly enter the company; they will not reveal their identities when the time comes. I am just notifying you in advance now."

After finishing, He Yong closed his mouth again and said nothing more.

Zhang Ran looked at He Yong and did not say much else, which counted as tacit approval.

Regarding this, neither Meng Shu nor Li Cheng had any objections; this actually made them feel more at ease.

Because, at the end of the day, they had no other intentions; they were both single-mindedly wanting to run the Security Company well.

They actually both understood that as long as they did a good job, Zhang Ran would never treat them unfairly regarding their share.

Like Li Cheng, if he did a good job, although he had no offspring, he still had family in Huaxia, and Zhang Ran would take very good care of the people in his family.

And as for Meng Shu, it was even clearer; when the time came, Zhang Ran would not treat Meng Gu and the others unfairly either.

Then what else did they have to worry about?

Actually, at the end of the day, it was also because Zhang Ran knew all the details of these people clearly that the situation had become what it was today.

Saying it this way might make Zhang Ran seem a bit petty, but this was also being responsible to both sides.

With Zhang Ran's absolute trust, they could stretch their hands and feet and truly develop the company well.

Otherwise, if one had to consider so much and be tied hand and foot for everything, it was estimated that nothing could be done well in the end.

He Yong, meanwhile, sighed slightly in his heart; Zhang Ran was still like this.

In fact, his purpose in saying those things just now was not to tell Li Cheng and the others—perhaps that was just one of the purposes—but the main thing was to let Zhang Ran reprimand him.

In this way, it could tell Li Cheng and the others that this was not Zhang Ran's original intention.

But now Zhang Ran said nothing and directly gave his tacit approval, which meant this was considered Zhang Ran letting him do it this way.

This made He Yong feel somewhat helpless; why was his own boss different from other people's?

Other people's bosses were eager to be the good guy themselves and have their subordinates be the bad guys.

But actually, it was precisely because of this that such a Zhang Ran made them follow him wholeheartedly.

Because you never need to worry at any time that Zhang Ran will sell you out because of some matters, some interests, or coercion.

Working for such a boss, what else is there to be uneasy about?

Clearly, this was also Li Cheng and the others' thinking; they actually understood what was on He Yong's mind.

"Chengzi, have the weapons from Ukraine all been transported over?" Zhang Ran changed the subject.

The weapons here had actually been purchased all along; previously, they were preparing some conventional weapons, which were things that would be used under normal circumstances.

But Zhang Ran still needed to purchase some unconventional weapons; such weapons were used during abnormal times.

And Zhang Ran had connections in Russia, so he could directly contact Ukraine; because of some past relations, Ukraine was now a major arms dealer.

However, if one had no connections, many weapons could not just be obtained whenever one wanted.

"They have all started to arrive one after another, but I told them to temporarily not transport some items over. You also know that our side is still relatively chaotic for the time being, and there are no good places to hide some things yet.

Once word leaks out, it won't be a good thing." Li Cheng detailed some of the situation.

Zhang Ran listened carefully and then nodded, saying: "That's fine, you arrange these matters; you have the final say on the conventional weapons here.

As for the unconventional weapons, when they need to be used, you must discuss it with Uncle."

Actually, Zhang Ran meant that when using unconventional weapons, he needed to personally agree, because once they were used, it proved that something major had happened.

Zhang Ran also needed to make some response preparations on his end.

"Understood."

After saying this, Zhang Ran said to Meng Shu again: "Do you need to go and take a look at some other security companies to see how they operate?"

Meng Shu shook his head and said: "That won't be necessary. I've seen quite a few before; although they might be a bit behind the times now, at the very least, they are enough for now.

I can see now that time is very tight; I will get some things sorted out first, and then consider that aspect."

Meng Shu knew his own situation and knew that Zhang Ran was so anxious now that he definitely needed to finish setting up the company within a short time.

It would be best to directly form some combat capability, so what he needed now was not to learn, but to build the big framework first.

"Good, if you need it when the time comes, I will help you arrange the contacts," Zhang Ran said.

After finishing the discussion of these matters, the few of them started drinking; once things were discussed and settled, eating and drinking had no burden.

Zhang Ran and the others ate this meal for nearly six hours; most of it was drinking, and one could tell how much they had drunk just by looking at the empty bottles on the side.

Especially Li Cheng and Meng Shu, who drank particularly much; they crawled under the table directly that day.

Li Cheng had not been this thoroughly relaxed for a long time, and added to that was the meeting of old friends, so he was very happy.
