Chapter 847: 841. Human Greed Knows No Bounds (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Zhang Ran knows that when dealing with these people, one must not be forceful when softness is required, but one cannot be soft forever either.

Because if you keep being soft, everyone will think you are easy to bully, or that you lack confidence.

Don't look at how these people are all polite to Zhang Ran right now, and how some are even standing with him in support.

But the moment Zhang Ran shows any sign of lacking confidence, they will not show the slightest mercy when they strike, and may even use unscrupulous means.

Zhang Ran is clear about all this, so at this moment, he is not being the least bit polite either.

At this time, everyone's heart skipped a beat; Qiaosilin's words just now had stirred their thoughts—this was a very large cake, and who wouldn't want it?

Especially those shareholders who were not yet qualified to hold this position; they were even more so.

Many people, just from that brief moment of eye contact, had already secretly made up their minds to unite and jointly seize this Investment Department Manager position.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they were unwilling to let it slip by just like that.

But now, Zhang Ran has forcefully indicated that he wants to take this cake, and it was Zhang Ran who had secured it in the first place.

Although Zhang Ran did not say it explicitly, the meaning was already very clear: if anyone dares to interfere, then don't blame him for being impolite.

However, most people were reluctant to give up this opportunity.

"This should have belonged to Mr. Zhang in the first place; I support Mr. Zhang in obtaining this position." Luofeide was still the first to support Zhang Ran.

He has many bad habits, but one thing about him is quite good: once he has made up his mind, he will not regret it.

He was indeed tempted just now, but he quickly abandoned that thought and directly supported Zhang Ran.

Now that Zhang Ran is being so forceful, he is even less likely to choose to stand out and compete with Zhang Ran at this time.

Those supporters of Zhang Ran also remained silent one by one, though their expressions eased slightly.

Forget it; they had already received benefits by supporting Zhang Ran this time.

Now that Zhang Ran has obtained the spoils of war, it would be somewhat unreasonable for them to try and snatch them away.

Although there was still some unwillingness in their hearts, Zhang Ran's momentum was currently at its peak, and they did not want to provoke his wrath.

Doing so would only cause Zhang Ran to set his sights on them, and the vast majority of them did not have the foundation of the Rhode Family.

The Rhode Family is an old-established family in the United States, possessing its own say not only in connections and personal networks, but also in capital and the formulation of certain industry rules.

With such a family, what could they use to compare?

Even now, Zhang Ran is far behind the Rhode Family on the surface.

But everyone knows that one cannot only look at Zhang Ran on the surface; just like this matter, it was not an easy task for anyone to accomplish.

Yet Zhang Ran achieved in just over a week the goal they had failed to complete for years.

Seeing this scene, Qiaosilin's eyes flickered slightly, and then she continued to smile: "Brother Zhang, you are still as overbearing as ever."

"This isn't being overbearing; this is something I should have received in the first place," Zhang Ran replied.

"But this is also our company's rules and regulations. Now that we are withdrawing, others are also qualified to compete. Is it perhaps not quite right for Brother Zhang to snatch it like this?" Qiaosilin, in any case, did not want to let Zhang Ran take this position so easily.

Even if it were eventually taken by Zhang Ran, she still wanted to disrupt the internal harmony on Zhang Ran's side.

Only in this way would they have an easier time in the subsequent struggles, and it would also be profitable for them.

Perhaps the loss of this position would turn out to be a good thing in the end.

Qiaosilin is naturally very intelligent, and she has a very profound understanding of personalities.

In just a few hours, she had come up with this plan.

At the same time, she also persuaded some others.

"That's right, we can choose to give up, but this originally belonged to everyone. Now that the opportunity has come, Mr. Zhang, you cannot be so overbearing; everything must be done according to the rules. Just like us, we have always done things according to the rules," someone said; this was a supporter of the Luode Xiongmei.

Once these words were spoken, the hearts of the people on Zhang Ran's side wavered once again; when it comes down to it, the temptation was just too great.

As long as they could obtain such a position, it meant they would have their own say within the bank.

At the same time, they could utilize the bank's internal resources to help their own businesses, and they would only need to leave some benefits for the bank.

Who would be willing to give up such a good thing just like that?

Actually, in Qiaosilin's mind, if Zhang Ran were more generous at this time and directly gave up this cake to his supporters,

then from now on, these supporters of his would be even more united and would stand with him even more firmly.

But Qiaosilin understood one thing even better: Zhang Ran's personality seems very generous in many matters, not fighting or scrambling.

Even if he does compete, as long as he loses in a fair competition, Zhang Ran accepts it.

However, once it involves other aspects—like this revenge, or this spoil of war that he should have received, or future layouts—

then Zhang Ran will not be so polite, and certainly not so generous.

Qiaosilin knows Zhang Ran very well, which is why she acted and spoke this way.

Clearly, she was not wrong in what she did; Zhang Ran, just as she thought, had no intention of sharing at all.

Not only that, but Zhang Ran's words also contained implied threats, which is exactly what Qiaosilin wanted to see.

Zhang Ran indeed thought this way, and he also believed that there was no need for him to share.

The first point is that these so-called supporters of his had already received enough benefits before, and this was something they should have done anyway.

The second point is that these people didn't do anything; they just cast a vote regarding the matter of Chalide.

This position was obtained by Zhang Ran through his own means, so why should he share it with these people?

Could it be that just because he is currently dealing with the Rhode Family and these people see that he is spread too thin, they want to take advantage of him?

Now Zhang Ran can tell them that they are overthinking it.

"I am also following the rules. Do I have the qualifications to apply for this position now?" Zhang Ran's expression was calm.

"I am also following the rules here; do I now have the qualifications to apply for this position?" Zhang Ran's expression was indifferent.

"Then I want it now. I also asked just a moment ago: who is in favor, who is opposed? We can take a vote now. If everyone is opposed, then I will accept it. Alright, let's start the vote now." After finishing, Zhang Ran scanned the crowd, especially his supporters.

Luofeide was the first to raise his hand in favor, but the others all began to hesitate; they were still somewhat unwilling to give up.
