Chapter 831: 825. Introducing Business (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Early in the morning, after Li Cheng and Meng Shu both got up, they saw Zhang Ran already eating breakfast, and each of them felt a bit embarrassed.

They also remembered that last night, the two of them seemed to have lost their composure; after drinking too much, they seemed to have cried?

Being men over fifty, crying like that was indeed a bit shameful.

Fortunately, Zhang Ran did not bring up the matter, which made them feel a little better.

"Come over and eat," Zhang Ran greeted them.

After finishing breakfast, Zhang Ran said, "Later, I will introduce some people for you to meet; they will also be your future clients. It would be best if you could sign some security contracts on the spot.

Because it is the initial stage, you need to open up the market and take a bit of a loss. Besides providing security services, you also need to offer some guarantees.

I will act as an intermediary for this. You need to ensure the safety of their factories within the contract period. I will provide an approximate figure for the loss rate; consider it a kind of insurance contract."

These are all things needed in the early stages. After all, Lianhua Security is just a newly established Security Company. To open up the market, plus the fact that it is inconvenient for Zhang Ran to come forward himself and he can only appear as an intermediary, taking a loss is inevitable.

Once you have credibility and a reputation, such situations will be avoided.

In the early stages, you can only bear some of the risks yourselves so that you can acquire more clients.

Li Cheng and Meng Shu instantly understood Zhang Ran's meaning and nodded to indicate they understood.

"Alright, you go rest for a bit first, let the smell of alcohol on you dissipate, and change into new clothes at the same time," Zhang Ran said, waving his hand.

By noon, the group of businessmen who had come from the country gathered together again.

During this period, they had already begun their investment plans one after another. To say nothing else, the preferential policies that Zhang Ran had negotiated with the South Africa government were enough to make them excited.

Moreover, they had also acquired some high-quality assets.

There were many good companies in South Africa, but under the circumstances of their mature technology and large amounts of capital, they all ended up defeated.

Of course, these people also had some restrictions; for example, they could not touch industries like mining.

"Mr. Zhang, thank you so much. This time I have truly witnessed your capabilities. It goes without saying, if there is time, you must let me properly thank you." When Liu Cheng saw Zhang Ran, he was incredibly affectionate.

Zhang Ran knew him; he was in the furniture business. South Africa didn't have much else, but it really had plenty of trees. After all, this place was considered a tropical savanna climate, suitable for plant growth.

During this period, Liu Cheng had acquired many furniture manufacturing plants through some preferential policies, and at the same time, he had also obtained some preferential policies back in the country.

These were all obtained thanks to Zhang Ran, so how could he not be enthusiastic when seeing Zhang Ran now?

"Haha, President Liu is too polite. Besides, isn't this also me making money?" Zhang Ran said with a chuckle.

Indeed, Zhang Ran also held shares in their companies; although it was very little, it was still shares.

These people began to exchange pleasantries with Zhang Ran, and everyone talked about their own company matters.

It was mainly for Zhang Ran to hear, wanting to see if Zhang Ran had any opinions.

However, Zhang Ran never expressed any views, so in the end, Liu Cheng asked proactively: "Mr. Zhang, do you see any problems with our business? Do we need to improve anything?"

It wasn't that they lacked confidence, but that Zhang Ran's reputation was too great, especially in the business world; Zhang Ran's investments and strategic arrangements had never failed.

Even if one failed, it was because he had invested in several companies in that industry, and then one of them stood out—that couldn't be called a failure.

Therefore, everyone valued Zhang Ran's opinions very highly.

Zhang Ran looked at everyone and laughed, "You all think too highly of me. I don't really understand some industries at all. Compared to those sitting here, I am a layman, so I won't show off my meager skills."

"Mr. Zhang is too modest. Your vision and insight into the future situation are not something we can compare to.

Also, regarding some of the company's systems, I wonder if you have any interest in offering a few pointers?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Ran with eager eyes; these were truly their sincere words, not just polite talk.

Zhang Ran felt a bit helpless being watched by them, but after thinking about Lianhua Security, he decided to mention it.

Zhang Ran pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know about your company's operations, but I want to ask, do you still have the intention to continue expanding here in Africa?"

"Of course we do. This is a treasure trove now, but as Mr. Zhang knows, this contains both opportunities and dangers. The public security here is simply too poor.

Sometimes it's not just about making money; whether you can even save your life is a problem. Plus, there are some other situations here, so it's very difficult."

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "What if there were people here who could protect the safety of your investments?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up, and they immediately looked at Zhang Ran, "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean by that?"

Zhang Ran didn't hide anything and said directly, "It's like this: a security company contacted me, wanting to cooperate with you.

They provide security forces to let you invest and make money safely here, while they earn security fees."

"May I ask which company it is?" They were all aware of some of the world's well-known security companies.

And sometimes, a name can actually have a lot of effect; perhaps it is precisely because of the name of this security company that it could block many external troubles.

Zhang Ran said, "Lianhua Security Company."

Everyone looked at each other in dismay; no one knew this Lianhua Security Company.

"This is a company that was established not long ago, but its strength is not weak. The people under them are all a group of battlefield veterans.

And their weapons and such are all complete; I can guarantee this much.

Furthermore, since I am acting as this intermediary, I certainly need to guarantee some things.

You can sign a security agreement. Under their protection, if someone causes trouble or similar incidents that lead to your losses reaching a certain amount, then they will provide compensation.

If they do not have the ability to compensate, then I will bear this part of the loss. What does everyone think?"

Hearing these words from Zhang Ran, everyone realized that this Lianhua Security Company probably really had strength behind it.

Otherwise, why would Zhang Ran put in so much effort? Of course, some people also wondered if this was Zhang Ran's own company.
