Chapter 873: 867. Exerting Pressure (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Zhang Ran looked at Leader Li with a smile, but Leader Li's expression did not change in the slightest; he was not afraid of such a small situation at all.

Leader Li did not listen to Zhang Ran's second condition at all, because after hearing it, he would find it difficult to make a choice.

He knew what Zhang Ran's second plan was; although he did not know the specifics, he could guess the gist of it.

Therefore, Leader Li directly chose the first option and did not listen to the second plan.

Because this was the best choice, and it was the same for him personally.

Once this matter was facilitated, it would also be a very good political achievement for him.

"Brother, about when will you be able to sign the Ban on Korean Culture?" Zhang Ran asked.

Leader Li thought for a moment and said, "When do you hope it will be?"

"The sooner the better."

"Alright, I will try my best to sign this document within half a month, but you also need to be quick on your end. It would be best if there were some movements first, otherwise it will be difficult for me to speak up," Leader Li said.

"No problem. I will have everything settled within six months at most. Within these half a month, we can carry out the preliminary work," Zhang Ran said.

"Alright, then I won't say anything more. Come, let's have a drink." Leader Li was clearly in a very good mood.

Zhang Ran also smiled and clinked glasses with him.

No matter how Zhang Ran asks people for favors, in most cases it is an exchange of benefits; he will absolutely never make things difficult for others. This is the best result.

However, when waiting for Leader Li to leave, Zhang Ran said: "It is best if it can be a bit faster; I am a bit anxious on my end."

"Alright, I will try my best." Leader Li did not say anything else and replied very straightforwardly.

Zhang Ran's credibility was still worth trusting.

Moreover, the real difficulty was not as great as imagined; in fact, these people had already been brewing this matter for a long time.

But they had always considered some of the consequences and the influence caused by doing so, so they had never made up their minds.

Speaking of which, this also had something to do with Zhang Ran.

Years ago, Zhang Ran provided Leader Li with quite a few opinions and support, allowing the film and television sector in Huaxia to develop quite well.

Therefore, it was able to hold on for a longer time when resisting the Korean Wave, and until now it had not been completely crushed, just had some of its market occupied.

Now, because of Zhang Ran again, the Ban on Korean Culture here was also about to be issued.

One must know that in recent years, South Korea had used celebrities, film and television, and other means here in Huaxia to earn quite a lot of money, or rather, a lot, a lot.

And it had also caused some not-so-good influences.

Especially the influence caused on some young people in Huaxia was quite profound.

The matter of chasing stars is actually not wrong in essence; many people chase stars, including many big shots in various industries.

They also have their own idols they worship, but these idols, for many, have played a positive influence in their hearts.

Even if the idols have negative things, they will not be affected by them, because most of them have already passed away.

So, chasing stars is not wrong, but one needs to chase stars rationally, especially needing celebrities to set an example in many matters.

Since you want to earn money in this aspect, you naturally need to bear the obligations in this aspect.

Just like many celebrities cursing in public; if it were on a personal level, it could only be said to be personal character, and no one could say anything more.

But as a celebrity, they earn money in this aspect, they earn the fan economy, so at this time, they must maintain their own image.

In Huaxia, there are constraints from the authorities, which is equivalent to a sharp sword hanging over the heads of celebrities.

Everyone will pay attention at all times.

And many celebrities in South Korea are subject to much less jurisdiction, and in many cases, they cause not-so-good influences.

Of course, there must be some film and television companies in Huaxia pushing behind this, it is just that there is very little they can do.

Sun Liren felt incomparably aggrieved at this time. During this period, on one hand, he communicated and contacted the South Korean headquarters.

On the other hand, he sought to meet some leaders, wanting to protest against such a blockade.

But no matter in which aspect, he did not get a reply that satisfied him.

Just like the South Korean headquarters, logically speaking, encountering this matter, the South Korean headquarters should have reacted fiercely, at the very least needing to provide quite a bit of support.

Whether it was funding or management, they should have given the greatest authority; after all, it had reached this point, and there was no candidate more suitable than him, Sun Liren.

But the result was that the South Korean headquarters only said they were discussing it and did not take any action. Of course, protesting was naturally necessary, but the intensity was not great.

And to be honest, this could actually be considered normal commercial competition, and it did not involve monopolies or gray transactions or anything.

On this matter, everyone was acting according to the law, and no one had violated the law.

Of course, they also did some things, for example, some express delivery services in South Korea also suffered suppression from them.

It is just that the intensity was not very great, and these industries in South Korea were only laying out their layout now; even if they failed, it was of no consequence.

This was also one of the reasons why express companies like Guotong supported them so much.

As for some other countries, Hanjing Group could not influence them, for example, in Australia.

Hanjing Group contacted some people in Australia, including some shareholders with power in Nanfaxing here.

But the effect was approximately equal to nothing.

Since Zhang Ran chose to do it, he naturally made full preparations. Hanjing Group and those shareholders of Nanfaxing could at most keep things from developing in the opposite direction for them.

But wanting to use these places to exert pressure on Zhang Ran and the others, that was impossible.

Did they really think Zhang Ran was a pushover?

So Sun Liren had really been living like a year for every day during this period, looking at the reports sent from below every day, his heart was incomparably anxious.

The losses were greater day by day; now it had been almost a week since Dahe Express and the others announced the blockade.

Within this week, their business had shrunk severely; not only did they lose almost all e-commerce clients, but even some private business was lost almost entirely.

After all, Meng He and the others had also made other promotional preparations; at the very least in Huaxia, the promotional channels and platforms for voicing opinions of Meng He and the others were not something Hanjing Express could compare to.

Now Sun Liren only thought about letting Hanjing Group use their energy to complain to the Huaxia government.

This point was the most important; now only if the Huaxia government intervened could the matter be stopped. Otherwise, Sun Liren felt that Hanjing Express had absolutely no way out in Huaxia.

The truth is that the blockade here has united the majority of people; it is not just a matter of industry peers, but more importantly, the support from e-commerce platforms, which is the most crucial aspect.
