Chapter 839: 833. Interfering in the Telecom Business (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

"Brother Zhang, what do we do next?" Yin Long asked.

At this moment, Yin Long did not know Zhang Ran's specific plans, but he knew that Zhang Ran would certainly not let things rest just like that.

On this point, he understood Zhang Ran very well.

"I have my own ways for this. Now, go and list the leanings of everyone today, make it into a table, and while you're at it, investigate their backgrounds in more detail," Zhang Ran said.

Today it seemed as if nothing had been done; Zhang Ran had merely proposed a motion, and then it was shelved.

But in reality, from this one instance, Zhang Ran could tell exactly who was standing on their side and who was standing on the side of the Luode Xiongmei.

This matter was critical; if they were careless, perhaps because of this lack of attention, the entire plan would go down the drain.

Coupled with the fact that Zhang Ran had taken advantage of Luofeide's defection to pressure those people, and the Luode Xiongmei had followed suit, the situation had become clear.

This was also something most people had not expected; after all, there were some who wanted to observe before making a choice.

But now, neither Zhang Ran nor the Luode Xiongmei were giving them that opportunity.

Because they both knew that uncertain factors were best eliminated from the start, otherwise the hidden dangers would be great, so even though the two sides were now mortal enemies, they still had a considerable tacit understanding on this matter.

Hearing Zhang Ran's instructions, Yin Long nodded and said, "I will do it immediately, but how should I classify Bulaike and Baoluo?"

"They are enemies; there is no doubt about that. As long as anyone shows such tendencies, we need to count them in," Zhang Ran's gaze was somewhat cold.

Especially that fellow Baoluo, who had been repelling Zhang Ran from the very beginning.

Actually, this was inevitable; after all, Baoluo had been managing the South Africa Development Bank just fine before, and there were basically no issues.

But ever since Zhang Ran re-entered, things here had gradually started to become chaotic, giving him a feeling of losing control.

Therefore, Baoluo naturally disliked Zhang Ran.

In many companies, the management team can completely contend with the shareholders, especially when equity is extremely dispersed.

There are many such cases; some company management teams, when they are strong, can even suppress the company's shareholders.

This seems somewhat absurd, as shareholders are the true bosses, but in reality, while this phenomenon is not common, it happens quite often.

"Alright, I understand. However, I need to mobilize some manpower this time, otherwise, there might not be enough time," Yin Long said.

He understood Zhang Ran; this time he definitely wanted a quick victory, at least regarding the matter of Chalide.

"Hmm, go ahead. You can mobilize whoever you need now. It is best to have it completely investigated within a week," Zhang Ran said.

Yin Long felt a jolt in his heart; was Zhang Ran planning to resolve this matter within a week?

What stood before them now was that British Telecom Project; as long as this project was resolved, no one would have an excuse to block the investigation.

Moreover, with the evidence Zhang Ran provided, this investigation would not take any time at all.

Soon, Yin Long left with Zhang Ran's task, and Zhang Ran began to contact people.

The first person he contacted was Prince Haiman; previously he had said it was best not to let Prince Haiman get involved in such matters.

But the situation was different now; this was purely asking for help, not having him personally participate in complex affairs.

Zhang Ran did not stand on ceremony with Prince Haiman and said directly, "I have a favor I need you to do."

Prince Haiman was also straightforward, "Go ahead."

"First, help me check Bulaike's background and some of his family's industries," Zhang Ran said.

"Bulaike? I know him. What's wrong?" Prince Haiman asked.

How had this Bulaike provoked Zhang Ran?

Prince Haiman had already heard the ill intent in Zhang Ran's tone; clearly, a conflict had arisen between the two sides.

Zhang Ran briefly explained the matter and then said, "Since he has chosen neutrality, he shouldn't be interfering. If he sets this precedent, won't anyone be able to go back on their word in the future?"

This was Zhang Ran's main goal; he needed to intimidate those who were still neutral. If they wanted to be neutral, they should stay properly neutral, completely neutral, and not be half-hearted.

This was also under the premise that there was no possibility of cooperation between Zhang Ran and those neutral parties.

Those who could be won over, Zhang Ran had already won over.

The rest were either impossible for Zhang Ran to win over, or he did not want to pay such a high price, or they were not worth such a high price to Zhang Ran.

Therefore, Zhang Ran had to intimidate those people, wanting them to know that before they acted, they should think clearly about the cost of doing so.

"I can do that. However, I don't have a good way for you to interfere in the telecom operator business. You must know that such things require many people to participate.

Moreover, you cannot participate in such competition; it involves many things. At the very least, there is one crucial point: you are not a citizen of our country.

Unless you change your nationality now, but obviously, you wouldn't agree to that," Prince Haiman said.

After finishing, he continued, "However, I will do my best. If it's just to cause trouble, I can do that. Although it cannot play a decisive role, it can slightly influence some people.

It's just that doing this might take a bit of time, and our country cannot completely abandon such a cooperation partner just because of a word from me."

Prince Haiman stated his entire situation; he didn't need to hide anything from Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran smiled, "I'm not asking you to stop them."

"Then what do you mean?" Prince Haiman didn't quite understand Zhang Ran's thinking.

If he wasn't asking him to stop them, could it be to facilitate them? This was not Zhang Ran's style.

Zhang Ran said, "Stopping them is the lowest-level method, because it consumes our resources and money without gaining anything.

A Chalide is not worth us wasting so much."

"What do you mean?" Prince Haiman seemed to understand something.

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "That's right. We join in. Once we join, there is a high possibility of excluding the South Africa Development Bank. I believe that with your status, plus sufficient resources and technology, this is not a problem at all, and it is a goal that can be achieved in the short term."
