Chapter 844: 838. How Did Zhang Ran Manage to Do It? (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
Zhang Siyan stayed at Prince Haiman's home that night, and she stayed there playing for nearly three days before leaving.
However, apart from the first day when Prince Haiman accompanied her for a meal, Prince Haiman was busy the rest of the time.
It was simple when Zhang Ran spoke about it over the phone, but the matter itself was not simple at all, and there were many things that needed to be done.
Fortunately, Zhang Ran provided some connections here, which made things much more convenient for Prince Haiman to carry out.
And just as Prince Haiman began his activities, the South Africa Development Bank also received the news.
"Chairman, a company in the UK has suddenly barged in and disrupted our plans, and I hear that the situation seems somewhat unfavorable for us.
They have the intention of kicking us out of the game ahead of time. We have reached this point now; if we fail, the losses will be significant. Can you get the company's other shareholders to put in some effort? After all, if we succeed, they will also be able to reap the benefits." Chalide's tone was somewhat impatient.
Up until now, he still did not know the specifics of the matter; after all, since Zhang Ran had said those words, no one really dared to deliberately leak the information to Chalide.
Moreover, they were also worried that if Chalide really ran away and fell into Zhang Ran's hands, he would be able to spill quite a lot of things.
If Zhang Ran wanted to act against anyone in the future, he would have leverage in his hands and an excuse to do things.
These were not things they wanted to see.
Baoluo's eyes flickered incessantly; he had guessed what was going on, and his heart was somewhat shaken.
Baoluo had never imagined that Zhang Ran would actually have such a method to break the deadlock!
This was not just about breaking the deadlock, but also being able to obtain huge benefits from it. The most crucial point was that Zhang Ran had actually managed to pull it off in such a short time.
This represented many implications and also proved that Zhang Ran had things hidden very deeply in places many people could not see.
"Why were they able to intervene now? Also, our funding and technology were all ready. What about the connections we had already paved the way with? Why didn't they say anything?" Baoluo asked several questions in a row.
"I don't know the specific situation, but I heard that some people from the royal family are involved, and there is also support from some others." It was already quite good that Chalide was able to find out this information in such a short time.
"They are acting in the name of the French Sairode Company. According to what I understand, Sairode Company has already been acquired within just a few days, and the transaction filing has already been completed in France.
Furthermore, Konian Company has also reached a strategic agreement with them to provide them with the most advanced technical support." The more Chalide spoke, the less confident he felt.
When he found out this information, he was also extremely shocked, and at the same time, he had some bad premonitions.
That was why he had come to the company to seek help at the first opportunity; if the shareholders behind them put in the effort, he would have the confidence to fight them.
"I understand. I will try my best to talk to those shareholders. You must stabilize the situation now. At the very least, drag this situation out. As long as it drags on, it is a good thing for us and for you." Although Baoluo did not say it explicitly, he still revealed a little something in his speech.
However, Chalide's mind was entirely on this project right now, so he did not think deeply about it.
And the most important point was that he had already obtained huge benefits from this project. Once it failed, these things would definitely be audited.
In that case, he would certainly be subject to questioning and investigation.
These were not things Chalide wanted to see.
"I understand. I will go and visit those people right now," Chalide said solemnly.
Baoluo hung up the phone and hurriedly began to contact Luode Xiongmei and the others to tell them about the matter and discuss countermeasures.
No one expected that Zhang Ran would actually do this; this was completely damaging some of their bank's interests.
But at the same time, Zhang Ran had not looked at their plan, which meant that Zhang Ran only knew of this news. Although doing this was somewhat unpleasant, no one could say anything against it.
At this moment, Baoluo regretted why he hadn't just let Zhang Ran see the project proposal at the time. If Zhang Ran had intervened directly like this then, it would have been somewhat inappropriate.
They would then have had a reason to expel Zhang Ran directly.
Although Zhang Ran was damaging their interests now, it was generally justifiable.
You couldn't expect Zhang Ran to avoid the bank in everything he did in the future; if that were the case, he wouldn't need to do business.
This was the same for the other shareholders; everyone cooperated with each other, but also competed with each other.
But the matter developed much faster than they had imagined. Just as they were still discussing it here, the outcome had already been decided in the UK.
On the morning of the seventh day, the UK announced that the subsidiary of the South Africa Development Bank was out of the running, which meant that their investment this time ended in direct failure.
"You should come back first," Baoluo said to Chalide on the other end of the phone.
At this time, he could not let Chalide run away. He believed that at this moment, Zhang Ran's people were also keeping an eye on Chalide.
Once Chalide wanted to escape, Zhang Ran would have a reason to control him.
As long as Chalide returned, then according to Zhang Ran's wishes, he would only need to be handed over to the company to deal with.
This was also an explanation to those who supported him; after all, some of the things Chalide knew might also be related to these supporters.
These people also did not want Zhang Ran to learn any information from Chalide's mouth.
These were all tacit understandings in the dark, and Zhang Ran would not break this tacit understanding.
Just as Baoluo was rushing from home to the company, Zhang Ran had also gotten up and washed up. Since the result was out, he did not need to wait.
He directly notified all the shareholder companies to gather. Everyone was still here and hadn't left, and although it was a bit rushed now, everyone knew that the matter had probably reached a result.
Those who supported Zhang Ran felt a bit happy in their hearts. It was obvious that since Zhang Ran had notified them personally, the result must be beneficial to Zhang Ran.
It was just that they were also a bit surprised in their hearts: How did Zhang Ran manage to do it? And what exactly did he do?
How did Zhang Ran manage to get this matter settled in such a short time?
You have to know that for a large project investment like this, there is basically no hope without a year or a half.
It is even normal to drag it out for three to five years. Coupled with the initial negotiations, investment amounts, technical reserves, and other issues, time is simply worthless in the face of these projects.
But Zhang Ran ended it in such a short time, which made them all a bit curious, and at the same time, they wanted to know how Zhang Ran managed to do it.
