Chapter 870: 864. Industry-Wide Boycott! (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

~7 min read 1,325 words

Zhang Ran spoke directly of withdrawing, which immediately extinguished the little thoughts of those who still had some ulterior motives.

There was no help for it; no one doubted that Zhang Ran would do such a thing.

If he were to do so, it would be their money that would be lost when the time came.

And what Zhang Ran asked Fengli Group to do this time, strictly speaking, was not actually very difficult.

As for the money subsidized into it, it was all treated as a promotional activity; it was not much money.

Added to that was Zhang Ran's assertiveness—he would confront whoever stuck their neck out, and the key was that not many people dared to confront him head-on.

So the result was also very obvious: Fengli Group ultimately passed it with a majority of votes.

As for those few opposing votes, their meaning was also very clear; it was just to express an attitude.

Zhang Ran couldn't be bothered to pay them any mind.

The reason Zhang Ran had previously done things that harmed himself to benefit others was to prepare for these matters.

This gave Zhang Ran an excuse, and as long as he had an excuse, relying on his strength, he could completely force these people to submit.

Zhao Lifeng also completely understood at this moment, and at the same time, he realized more profoundly what it meant that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Moreover, it was too late to stop it now, and he was even more reluctant to do so.

Of course, there was also the fact that Zhang Ran would not make any excessive demands, so they were still relatively willing to compromise.

By the fifth day of Zhang Ran's return to the country, everything had already been coordinated by him; this was also the reason Zhang Ran came back in person.

If he hadn't come forward in person, let alone five days, it might not even have been possible to coordinate these things in five months.

Many things were forcibly pushed by Zhang Ran, and there was also Zhang Ran's reputation; quite a few people wanted to do Zhang Ran a favor.

Just when South Africa and South Korea were both paying attention to this side, Zhang Ran finally made his move.

At eight o'clock on the morning of the sixth day, led by Dahe Express Chairman Meng He, several large domestic express delivery companies directly announced a boycott of Hanjing Express.

They made up a random reason; these things were not important.

At the same time, on some other websites, people had already started to build momentum, and there were no fresh tricks—they just used the fact that Hanjing Group was not domestic, but from South Korea.

These things seemed useless, but one must never underestimate the patriotism of the people of Huaxia.

These things were not actually orchestrated by Zhang Ran himself; his patriotism was beyond doubt, otherwise, he would not have done so many things over these many years.

But Zhang Ran would not use patriotic sentiment to make money; Zhang Ran liked those patriotic people, so he did not wish to consume such sentiment.

However, Zhang Ran did not stop it either; he would not do it himself, but he could not stop others, and some things indeed needed some patriotic sentiment to support them.

After all, in many areas, there is still a gap between Huaxia and Western countries; for example, in some high-tech fields, Huaxia still needs some time to develop, and in the process of development, it is impossible to only invest without output, as that would only consume passion.

At the same time, Fengli Group also announced that it was directly severing its cooperation with Hanjing Express.

Although Fengli Group currently used Dahe Express for the majority of its business, it did not block other express companies from the door.

Everyone had mutual cooperation.

If Hanjing Express left a vacancy, to say nothing else, just the many businesses of Fengli Group would be enough for those who joined in to share.

After all, Dahe Express was already saturated at Fengli Group, and Fengli Group's business was prioritized for Dahe Express.

The excess had to be divided among others, as Dahe Express did not have the energy.

The moment Fengli Group made the announcement, other e-commerce websites also announced one after another, and Huamei Group and others also released news.

In an instant, Hanjing Express's business in Huaxia was almost immediately in a state of suspension!

Although those other e-commerce websites were not as large as Fengli, when added together, they were not to be underestimated.

Many of these people had some connection with Zhang Ran, and since Zhang Ran had spoken up and promised that he would absolutely not let their costs increase.

In this way, they were also happy to do Zhang Ran a favor.

For a time, the Huaxia business world suddenly became lively, while Hanjing Express became overwhelmed.

The president of the Huaxia region for Hanjing Express was named Sun Liren, and he was a Huaxia person.

Now these foreign enterprises had learned to be obedient; the set of things from their own countries simply did not apply to Huaxia.

Therefore, many large companies, when developing Huaxia business, would choose a Huaxia person to serve as president.

Sun Liren never expected that he would actually be boycotted by the industry and resisted by so many e-commerce platforms!

One must know that for the express delivery business, most of the current source of business relied on e-commerce; individual business alone simply could not support the express delivery industry.

Now that the entire industry was boycotting them, Sun Liren was completely stunned!

This also had to be blamed on the fact that South Korea did not give him a heads-up at all; in fact, although South Korea was somewhat vigilant in their hearts, they did not believe that Zhang Ran would directly tear his face with them.

However, they still underestimated Zhang Ran and overestimated their own influence.

Although Sun Liren took some measures and visited some people immediately, it was completely useless.

Not to mention that this was initiated by Zhang Ran, whom many people would give some face to, even if it weren't, this was just commercial competition, not involving monopoly or unfair competition.

Everyone forming an alliance to jointly expel you, an outsider, could be considered reasonable.

It was only on the third day that Sun Liren received notice from South Korea and learned the truth of the matter.

He couldn't help but curse in his heart; that this damn thing could burn him, he really wanted to cry!

However, at the same time, Sun Liren couldn't help but feel relieved, because the main reason for this matter did not lie with him; he was just suffering an unmerited disaster.

Even more so, he would not lose his reputation because of this, which was particularly important!

As a professional manager, reputation is sometimes more important than ability; at the very least, if Sun Liren couldn't continue working here, he could completely go to another company; in any case, his ability, connections, and the like were not affected.

However, Sun Liren also had professional ethics, so even at this point, he was still very serious when doing things.

But when Sun Liren learned of the attitude of the Headquarters in South Korea, he started cursing loudly.

They actually said that Zhang Ran was just trying to scare them and wouldn't really drive them to extinction!

Sun Liren really wanted to imprint his size 42 shoe sole on their faces; what did they mean by trying to scare them?

Have you ever seen anyone scare people like this?

This damn thing was an industry-wide boycott, not just one company, but also their partners; if this was just scaring them, he, Sun Liren, would dare to write his name backward!
