Chapter 845: 839. Licking Until the End Means Getting Everything! (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Zhang Ran and his group arrived at the Bank Building very quickly; by this time, basically everyone had arrived.

The moment Zhang Ran stepped through the entrance, everyone's gaze turned toward him.

At this very moment, everyone's mood was nervous and urgent, even though this matter was not an overwhelming victory against the side of Luode Xiongmei in its entirety.

But this was still a victory, and it could also boost the confidence of Zhang Ran's side.

Luofeide hurried over at the first opportunity and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, congratulations, congratulations."

He was also probing, testing whether it was Zhang Ran who had achieved victory.

Although he had already guessed something from the subtle expressions of Luode Xiongmei and Baoluo, he still dared not be certain.

The time was simply too short.

Zhang Ran did not hide or evade anything, also saying with a smile, "It should be congratulations to us both; of course, I also thank everyone for their support."

Once these words were spoken, some of those who supported Zhang Ran instantly breathed a sigh of relief, while at the same time inwardly marveling: how on earth did Zhang Ran manage to do it?

After everyone was seated, Baoluo spoke directly: "Mr. Zhang, isn't what you did a bit inappropriate?"

He wanted to stir up trouble right from the start; although he knew that the matter was already unavoidable, it would be a good thing if he could cause some dissenting voices to appear on Zhang Ran's side because of this.

Zhang Ran said with an unchanging expression, "What is inappropriate about it?"

The others also looked over; the crowd only knew now that Zhang Ran had resolved the matter, but they did not know how he had resolved it.

At this moment, they were also incomparably curious.

Watching everyone look at him, Baoluo took a deep breath and said, "Just a moment ago, the UK side officially kicked our bank out of the telecommunications project."

As soon as these words were out, everyone's expressions changed, and they looked at Zhang Ran one after another.

Just as Baoluo and the others had thought, this was actually also damaging the interests of these shareholders; even those who supported Zhang Ran would lose something in this incident.

Zhang Ran said indifferently, "What does that have to do with me? It is because you all acted too carelessly and lacked ability. Speaking of which, I would also like to question you: how have you been acting as Chairman? You must bear the primary responsibility for the failure of this project!"

Baoluo was almost laughed to anger by Zhang Ran; at a time like this, he was still trying to shift the blame!

"Zhang Ran, one cannot be too shameless!" Baoluo said with some anger.

Zhang Ran narrowed his eyes and looked at Baoluo coldly.

With just this, Baoluo immediately sobered up; no matter what, he was only a professional Manager, while Zhang Ran was a shareholder of the company and also his boss.

Although they were at odds, he absolutely could not lose his manners on the surface.

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure!" Baoluo apologized very straightforwardly; it was better not to let Zhang Ran seize a handle on him over such a matter.

Zhang Ran said indifferently, "There will not be a next time. If there is a next time, don't blame me for being impolite to you."

With these exchanges, the line between the two of them could be considered completely drawn.

In fact, one point was also unavoidable: if Baoluo did not defect to Zhang Ran's side, then the two of them would never truly get along.

Zhang Ran also did not want to be just an empty shell here; he also had many things that needed the help of the South Africa Development Bank to operate.

This also involved many things, and it was impossible to hand them over to people he did not trust to handle.

"Brother Zhang, according to news from the UK side, we learned of a situation: it was precisely because of your participation that the UK side kicked us out ahead of schedule," Qiaosilin said with a smile, interrupting.

Although she also had some unpleasant feelings in her heart at this moment, she was still able to maintain her composure overall.

Qiaosilin understood that when facing Zhang Ran, one must maintain calmness at all times; once she lost her composure, she might instantly be seized of an opportunity by Zhang Ran.

When facing Zhang Ran, Qiaosilin did not dare to be careless at all.

Once these words were spoken, everyone's attention was attracted again.

Zhang Ran did not avoid anything and said directly, "That's right, but this has nothing to do with me. It was a project that Prince Haiman asked me to cooperate on previously.

I didn't know before that you all had also set your sights on this project, so this matter can only be called a coincidence.

As for it being intentional?

That point does not exist. Furthermore, the person primarily responsible for this project is Prince Haiman's side, not me.

So I was completely unaware."

"Besides, there is one point you all might have forgotten: such a matter cannot be completed in two or three days. This shows that before I even knew your project had started, we already had the idea and had begun to act.

If you blame this on me as well, that would be a bit unreasonable."

"Or are you saying that for projects carried out by the bank, we shareholders cannot participate as individuals? Must we step aside? Have you mistaken your own positions?" The more Zhang Ran spoke, the less polite he became.

However, many people were horrified, and at the same time, their hearts were churning like a stormy sea.

They hadn't thought of it until Zhang Ran mentioned it; after all, the matter was too sudden.

Now that Zhang Ran had said this, they suddenly understood one point: this project was actually something Zhang Ran had intervened in at the last minute.

But precisely because of this, it made Zhang Ran appear all the more terrifying!

They hadn't understood this project before, but ever since the last meeting, after hearing a little about the situation here, they knew exactly how many aspects such a project involved.

Whether it was the early-stage operations, preparations, planning, etc., all required a very long time, and the actual execution could not be completed in the short term either.

And they had prepared so thoroughly, yet on Zhang Ran's side, it took only one week to completely defeat them!

At the same time, this also revealed just how great Zhang Ran's energy was!

They understood one more point: Zhang Ran's hidden energy was not limited to his home base of Huaxia.

In the region of Europe and America, Zhang Ran also possessed hidden power that others did not know about.

So at this moment, although everyone knew that Zhang Ran was quibbling, no one cared about that point anymore.

They could still afford to bear this bit of loss.

Of course, the most critical thing was that this was not their main investment after all; they were only investing because it was attached to the bank.

Therefore, the loss would not be very large, and they could fully bear it.

At this time, the way everyone looked at Zhang Ran became completely different, with Luofeide being the most excited.

He knew he had absolutely not misjudged the person; Zhang Ran was still the Zhang Ran he admired.

At this moment, he felt deeply that he had been wise; at the final moment, he had successfully chosen his side.

At the same time, it also gave Zhang Ran a very good impression, and relying on their previous relationship, he believed that in the future, he would also become friends with Zhang Ran.
