Chapter 867: 861. Distribution of Interests (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

In reality, what Liu Runhua and these people lack is simply a leader with enough appeal.

Currently, the domestic market has basically been carved up by them.

If they want significant development in the future, unless there is some major change, they will only be able to compete internally.

Now that Zhang Ran has stepped forward to directly kick Hanjing Express out of the game, this is a good thing; no one wants to miss such an opportunity.

But not everyone wants to participate; after all, Hanjing Group is not to be trifled with. Although Zhang Ran is taking the lead, what if Hanjing Group doesn't dare provoke Zhang Ran and chooses to strike at them instead?

However, it is impossible for them to withdraw; for one, the benefits are right here, and it is worth a gamble.

After all, within the country, they are not afraid of Hanjing Group either.

Secondly, they are also afraid that after Liu Runhua and his peers swallow up Hanjing Express, they will set their sights on them.

Although this alliance is loose and lacks binding power, once formed, it effectively becomes a temporary and reliable coalition.

By then, even without Zhang Ran participating or leading, these people would very likely gather together.

The two reasons above are also why they have to come, even if they don't really want to get involved in this muddy water.

Zhang Ran first said to Liu Runhua, "Thank you for your support, President Liu."

He then said to the others, "The matter is just as it is; it can be big, and it can be small. I won't rush everyone, but I do hope for a quick response.

Within three days, I hope to receive an answer. Regardless of the outcome, this can be considered making friends."

Zhang Ran's words were very polished, but to the ears of those present, it didn't sound quite like that.

In truth, Zhang Ran really didn't have any other intentions, but one cannot prevent others from overthinking.

After all, Zhang Ran was so solemn this time, and to be honest, what he is doing is above board.

Regardless of the reasons or anything else, Zhang Ran told them clearly, without the slightest concealment, and certainly without any intention of using them.

Even if it were using them, it would be something everyone is well aware of; there is no deception!

On this point, everyone is still very convinced, especially regarding what Zhang Ran said earlier about honest business practices!

On this point, no one has anything to say against Zhang Ran!

"Mr. Zhang, I will definitely give you an answer within three days," someone said.

After all, they are not like Zhang Ran, who can decide many things with a single word; they need to consult with other directors.

Liu Runhua had already discussed things with his board of directors in advance, which is why he was able to make a decision so quickly.

"That's fine. As it happens, it's lunch time now; shall we go eat something together? My treat," Zhang Ran said with a smile.

He did not rush them too much, as that would make it seem like he was coercing them—although many people already think so, at least he gave them time.

However, Zhang Ran has a clear conscience; if you want to participate, then participate; if not, then don't. He won't target them because of it.

It is just that those people are overthinking it.

It is also true that since Zhang Ran's return, many of the things he has done appear very overbearing to others!

Therefore, when facing Zhang Ran, these people have to keep their spirits up.

When Zhang Ran invited them to lunch, everyone gave him face, and even though time was tight, they all arrived.

At the dining table, Zhang Ran never brought up the cooperation again; he just chatted and laughed, which made quite a few people breathe a sigh of relief.

They were truly afraid that Zhang Ran would force them to agree at the table.

Although most of them were in favor of it in their hearts, they hadn't discussed it yet, and there were still some things that needed more consideration.

"Mr. Zhang, if our alliance is established and we eventually drive Hanjing Express away, how should we distribute the spoils?" Zhang Ran didn't bring up the topic, but Liu Runhua couldn't help himself.

However, this topic was also one everyone was very interested in; since Zhang Ran hadn't mentioned it before, they hadn't felt comfortable asking.

After all, they hadn't even agreed to the alliance yet.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "I had originally intended to wait until everyone agreed to discuss it, but since you've brought it up, President Liu, I will share my opinion.

Of course, if there is anything inappropriate, everyone can bring it up. Cooperation requires a win-win situation; that is the premise of cooperation."

Some people nodded; Zhang Ran still has a relatively good reputation in this regard.

"I have two plans. The first is that after we drive Hanjing Express away, everyone relies on their own abilities; whoever grabs it gets it," Zhang Ran said, stating the first plan.

As soon as this plan was proposed, many people's eyes flickered, and their minds immediately became active.

However, Zhang Ran ignored them and continued, "Of course, there is another plan, which is distribution based on contribution. We will distribute benefits based on how much effort everyone puts in.

Of course, I will state in advance that I will definitely be the one putting in the most effort, and this does not include the pressure of blocking Hanjing Group, but purely the resources of Dahe Express.

So everyone needs to consider it carefully. Business is business; if we follow this distribution plan, I won't be polite to anyone."

Zhang Ran spoke very bluntly, which made some people feel a bit uncomfortable; it was the first time they had heard such direct words at a moment like this.

Shouldn't these things be discussed behind closed doors, studied thoroughly, and then argued over for a while?

At this moment, Liu Runhua felt more and more that Zhang Ran was to his liking; of course, this was just his personal opinion.

"Mr. Zhang, I've long heard that you are a man who does big things. Now it seems that is indeed the case. You can cut through the Gordian knot on such matters, and you handle things in a straightforward way. If nothing else, I'll toast you first!" Liu Runhua finished his drink in one go.

Zhang Ran smiled and drank with him. "I'll say it again: since we are cooperating in business, whatever should be agreed upon in advance, I will agree upon in advance. That way, no matter what happens, everyone has a set of rules.

Once there are rules, it's easier to get things done. At the very least, while in the alliance, we can exert the greatest strength instead of wasting these resources."

"I agree with Mr. Zhang's view," Liu Runhua nodded in agreement.

"I find the people in my company very annoying; they have to discuss every little thing for three to five days, and anything slightly troublesome takes three to five months." Liu Runhua's words were also very direct.

However, many people were used to it; this guy had said similar things in public more than once.

Not only them, but even the shareholders and directors of Liu Runhua's company had become numb to it. At first, they would get angry hearing it, but after hearing it every day, they felt nothing.
