Chapter 862: 856. Starting with Courier Services (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

"These people are not a monolith; Han Zhixun stepping forward now is actually a last resort," Zhang Ran said with a smile.

"How so?" Yin Long asked, feeling somewhat curious.

He truly hadn't seen this point, but in reality, Yin Long was also a bit puzzled, because Zhang Ran's previous tough stance had already made many things clear.

Now that Han Zhixun of Hanjing Group had taken the initiative to step forward, Zhang Ran must certainly have an issue with him, which was not actually a good thing.

Especially for someone like Zhang Ran, who had absolute control over the company and was not held back by family or other forces.

Many of the things Zhang Ran had done previously really seemed to be done entirely according to his own whims.

For business tycoons like them, it was best not to offend such a person if it could be avoided.

Yet Han Zhixun had truly stepped forward, and his attitude was also somewhat aggressive.

This was clearly asking for trouble for himself.

Was Han Zhixun really that stupid?

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "Hanjing Group's businesses in places like Europe and America, as well as Australia, have run into problems."

"He needs the support of these people to help their Hanjing Group weather the crisis."

"His aggressiveness this time is, to a large extent, actually forced by others; those people need to use Han Zhixun to express their stance, yet they don't want to truly offend me."

"Now that Hanjing Group has delivered itself to their doorstep, they naturally won't let it go."

Zhang Ran explained the ins and outs of the matter in just a few sentences, which also showed that Zhang Ran's information channels were very extensive.

Even Yin Long actually didn't know this point.

But Zhang Ran was very clear about it; one must know that now that Yin Long served as the Chairman of Galaxy Capital, he would basically know about many things.

Although Yin Long had been very busy recently and didn't have much time to manage Galaxy Capital, some information would not be missed.

"Then, Brother Zhang, why did you...?" Yin Long had just asked when he immediately realized.

"You want to ask me why I went along with those people, right?" Zhang Ran smiled.

Zhang Ran's attitude in the conference room could be described as exceptionally aggressive; he had pointed directly at Han Zhixun and scolded him, not leaving him any face at all, which clearly had truly offended Han Zhixun.

And since Zhang Ran knew that Han Zhixun was only being forcibly pushed to the forefront, there was no need to do so.

"The logic is very simple: since Han Zhixun has stepped to the forefront, then I will treat him as the backbone of these people."

"And those people are actually also wanting to see my methods and my stance; the final result is nothing more than three possibilities."

"The first is that I make a move against Hanjing Group, and I succeed, causing Hanjing Group to choose to retreat."

"However, in the eyes of those people, this is basically impossible, because unless I can make Hanjing Group feel a crisis even greater than the one they are currently in, they will not admit defeat."

"The second is that I make a move against Hanjing Group and fail; then this would represent that I have lost, and in the end, either I compromise, or I leave the Southern Issuance directly with my tail between my legs."

"As for the third possibility, that is that I compromise directly and let them succeed in their palace coup!"

Zhang Ran analyzed the current situation; in fact, he was mainly saying it for He Qing and Liu Ming to hear.

As for He Yong?

Heh, this guy was currently spacing out; he didn't want to listen to these things at all.

Yin Long understood the key to it the moment he asked.

After hearing these analyses, He Qing silently kept them in mind while also constantly pondering them.

The main reason she had grown so fast over these few years was that Zhang Ran would analyze many things clearly, and she would also think deeply about them.

As for Liu Ming, he was still in a daze at this moment.

"Right now, I have actually reached a tacit understanding with them: if I can deal with Hanjing Group and make their losses exceed their current crisis, these people will obediently listen and won't stir up any more trouble."

"If I don't have this ability, then don't blame them for turning hostile and denying anyone," Zhang Ran said with a cold laugh.

The wishful thinking these people were doing was truly good.

In any case, from beginning to end, they didn't need to pay anything; they only needed to put some pressure on Zhang Ran in terms of their stance.

As for the matter of Hanjing Group, that was none of their business; in any case, it wouldn't be their loss in the end.

If Zhang Ran won, they had already obtained benefits beforehand; these were things they should have done anyway.

If Zhang Ran failed, that was even better; they could obtain even more benefits, and they naturally wouldn't give up such an opportunity.

In fact, this was also the reason why their attitudes had changed so quickly—it was because they saw greater benefits in it.

They could immediately seize an opportunity that seemed completely unrelated to them.

This is what a businessman is!

They could reach this point because they were well-versed in these matters; as for psychological burden?

Heh, what kind of thing is that?

From beginning to end, only Luofeide insisted on standing on Zhang Ran's side; this was partly because Luofeide needed Zhang Ran's help, and partly because Luofeide actually knew Zhang Ran's character—he understood him very well.

These people seemed to not need to pay anything now to achieve their goals.

But they hadn't thought about what comes after!

After this matter passes, Zhang Ran would let them know the consequences of going back on one's word and being insatiably greedy.

However, these things would have to wait until everything was over; Zhang Ran wasn't in a hurry, and being in a hurry wouldn't help anyway.

Yin Long nodded to show he understood, but then asked: "Then, Brother Zhang, how should we deal with Hanjing Group now?"

"You have been in the Hong Kong and Macau regions for so many years and don't know some of the situation with Hanjing Group; about seven or eight years ago, Hanjing Group could be said to have spent a massive amount of capital to enter Huaxia."

"Real estate, entertainment, courier services, and retail—they have spent about 30 billion US dollars over these years."

"And now that this money has landed in Huaxia, it is not such a simple matter to withdraw it," Zhang Ran said with a cold laugh.

He had already understood the situation of Hanjing Group; over these past few days, not only had he investigated it himself, but many others had also helped.

"Furthermore, they also have cooperation with our industries."

Hearing Zhang Ran say this, Yin Long felt more confident, and at this moment, he was also somewhat eager to try.

He was naturally very angry about Han Zhixun's attitude toward him earlier, but Yin Long understood even more that he could not disrupt Zhang Ran's rhythm because of his own affairs.

Therefore, when he was being reprimanded by Han Zhixun, he did not say a single word.

But now that the opportunity had arrived, he would not be the slightest bit polite, and it was the perfect chance to vent his anger.

What Han Zhixun did before, in truth, might not have been without the intention of truly looking down on Yin Long.

"We will start with the express delivery, and let them know the price of going back on one's word!"
