Chapter 861: 855. Hanjing Group (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Zhang Ran and his group walked out of the building. The group looked very silent, as if this time was once again completely fruitless, and Zhang Ran had failed again, yet not a trace of this showed on Zhang Ran's face.

In fact, the one thing Zhang Ran feared most was these people uniting, leaving him not knowing where to start.

This was the most uncomfortable part.

Because it was impossible for Zhang Ran to truly set himself against everyone, and if he were to give up on the Oil Bond starting point now, then all the effort he had put in previously would be in vain.

Although Zhang Ran kept saying he didn't care about these things, in reality, if he could avoid the trouble, he wouldn't truly give them up either.

Han Zhixun and the others also saw this point; perhaps they were bluffed by Zhang Ran at first, but they were all smart people and quickly figured it out.

This is called sunk cost; Zhang Ran had already spent so much on it, so he wouldn't give it up so easily.

That is why they were emboldened to force his hand.

However, the current situation had not reached the point where Zhang Ran needed to compromise. Since Han Zhixun wanted to be the one to stick his neck out, Zhang Ran would satisfy him.

This was also because, no matter the time, these people were never of one mind; each represented their own interests.

Believe it or not, even if Zhang Ran truly compromised, these people would still end up in conflict due to interest issues.

However, Zhang Ran did not want to do that, because that would drag the time out for too long.

Now the Rhode Family also had their own movements. Although they had always been in a passive state, that was because they simply couldn't touch Zhang Ran's industries.

But now that Zhang Ran had bared his fangs, they also had their own targets.

Just like this time, from the moment Zhang Ran proposed the Oil Bond matter, they had already begun raising funds, just in case.

However, there were simply too many of these bonds, so they were now thinking of stalling for time. The best case would be that even if they were taken down by Zhang Ran here, they would still need to negotiate with other bond dealers.

If they truly had no money to redeem the bonds, then Zhang Ran only needed to leak a little bit of information, and their companies would be questioned from all sides.

By then, not only would investors lose confidence in them, but the banks would also conduct audits and demand repayment from them.

This was the most critical point, and they knew that this was the goal Zhang Ran was aiming for.

As long as Zhang Ran succeeded here, and they had no money to repay these loans, Zhang Ran would take advantage of the situation.

Now, Luode Xiongmei both needed to thank Han Zhixun and his ilk. If these people had truly been bought off by Zhang Ran and were of one heart with him, then the Rhode Family would already be in some danger.

Although it wouldn't be as dangerous as immediate bankruptcy, it would still leave them overwhelmed and tie up most of their energy.

By then, they likely wouldn't have the time or energy to deal with Zhang Ran's subsequent moves.

Therefore, the importance Luode Xiongmei placed on Zhang Ran had risen by another level.

Although they had valued him highly before, thinking about it now, it seemed they had still underestimated Zhang Ran, a point they hadn't considered before.

Of course, they weren't just taking hits without fighting back now; Zhang Ran's video company was currently being targeted by them in various places.

The Rhode Family's connections and various networks in Europe and America, built up over so many years, were intricate and complex; causing Zhang Ran some trouble was quite simple.

It was just that this couldn't restrain Zhang Ran at all. Zhang Ran had also made preparations; the overseas development rights he requested from Huang Xunceng and Meng Mingxuan were for the sake of preparing for these matters.

From the very beginning, Zhang Ran had sent people to negotiate with commercial giants in various regions and countries.

He could cooperate with these people, or even concede some interests, but in return, these commercial giants also needed to provide protection for the short video company.

This was all relative; although Zhang Ran would lose quite a few shares, and even lose absolute controlling interest.

In some regions and countries, the combined shares of Zhang Ran and Huang Xunceng and the others did not exceed fifty percent.

But all of this was worth it.

Huang Xunceng and the others all understood this, so they didn't say anything.

One must know that although the short video company had been investing all along, in reality, it already had quite a bit of revenue.

It was just that income and expenditure hadn't reached a balance yet, but this was all a matter of time; everyone saw the potential and profit within it very clearly.

Therefore, Zhang Ran didn't take these small matters to heart at all, only occasionally taking time to pay attention and making a few phone calls from time to time.

"Brother Zhang, what should we do now?" Upon returning home, Yin Long asked with a grave expression.

He knew that once this matter dragged on for too long, the effect would be greatly diminished, and this was not their goal.

They needed to use this incident to bring trouble to the Rhode Family and tie up their energy.

Yin Long understood even more how much Zhang Ran had paid for this; Zhang Ran had laid out plans in many places that others couldn't see, it was just that they hadn't manifested yet.

Zhang Ran said indifferently: "Don't worry, now that someone has jumped out, everything is easy to handle."

"You mean to take action against Hanjing Group?" Yin Long had actually thought of this, but he didn't know how to deal with Hanjing Group.

Hanjing Group was an oligarchy in South Korea's retail, real estate, entertainment, and transportation industries, and it had a very large influence in South Korea.

The company's employees numbered directly in the hundreds of thousands; it could be said that it was not so easy to target.

Zhang Ran said: "Of course, if I don't give them a taste of their own medicine, they will really think that I, Zhang Ran, can be manipulated at will."

Although Zhang Ran had a smile on his face, his tone was very cold; he was truly very annoyed by these insatiable things.

Liu Ming just stood to the side listening, at this moment completely in a state of numbness and shock.

Previously, he knew Zhang Ran was super rich, but he hadn't expected that when Zhang Ran spoke of dealing with Hanjing Group, it was as if he were dealing with an ordinary person, without the slightest pressure.

Although he also knew that this was just Zhang Ran having the confidence to target Hanjing Group, it didn't mean that Zhang Ran truly didn't take Hanjing Group seriously.

But such an attitude also showed Zhang Ran's confidence.

This was a super group; its massive financial resources and various complex networks could make many people dizzy.

Liu Ming had also seen people from Hanjing Group a few years ago, and it was even one of their high-level executives; he hadn't even had the chance to speak with them.

But at this moment, Zhang Ran just said directly that he would make Hanjing Group look good.

This made Liu Ming feel a bit dazed; just a few days ago, he was still a person unemployed at home, and now he was going to participate in such a big matter?
