Chapter 878: 874. Bowing the Head to Concede (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

However, things having reached this point, Wang Xianbin could only bite the bullet and go find Zhang Ran to prepare to concede; as for making a phone call, he really wasn't prepared to do that.

Since he was already prepared to concede, he might as well be straightforward about it, otherwise, the one who would look ugly in the end would still be himself.

Wang Xianbin understood this point very well.

Just after figuring these things out, Wang Xianbin received news from the shareholders and could only sigh inwardly; no matter what, he had to appease the shareholders of the company first.

He was busy until the afternoon before Wang Xianbin had any time.

After thinking it over, he went to buy some gifts, then personally went to pay a visit.

Zhang Ran lived in a Siheyuan in Beijing, and when he saw this Siheyuan, Wang Xianbin was also stunned for a moment.

Previously, he really didn't know that Zhang Ran also had such a Siheyuan in Beijing.

Originally, Wang Xianbin had already held Zhang Ran in high regard in his heart, but now it seemed he had still underestimated Zhang Ran.

Thinking of this, Wang Xianbin couldn't help but sigh inwardly again, composed himself, and knocked on the gate.

"Uncle, who are you?" A little one poked their head out from inside, and then another little fellow hid behind.

Before Wang Xianbin could speak, He Yong walked out.

Just now, the two little fellows, Susu and Taotao, were playing in the courtyard, and after hearing the commotion, they came over directly.

"Chairman Wang?" He Yong asked.

"I am Wang Xianbin, is Mr. Zhang at home?" Wang Xianbin asked with a smile.

He Yong nodded and said, "Brother Zhang is inside, please follow me."

After speaking, he led Wang Xianbin inside, while simultaneously telling Susu and Taotao not to run outside.

Wang Xianbin followed He Yong inside, looking at the scenery of the Siheyuan along the way, and couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.

To tell the truth, even if this Siheyuan were sold to him now, he would be reluctant to buy it, or one could say he couldn't afford it.

After all, net worth is net worth; a lot of money is currently just numbers and hasn't been cashed out, and much of it is invested elsewhere.

Currently, the cash in Wang Xianbin's hands was only about a hundred million or so, no more than that; wanting to buy such a courtyard was really something he could only think about in his heart.

At this time, Zhang Ran was drinking tea and chatting with Gong Nan; after finishing his business, Zhang Ran had called Gong Nan.

These past few days, when Gong Nan was free, he would also come over to chat with Zhang Ran.

From time to time, Qi Xiaoting would also tag along; for this unexpected uncle, Qi Xiaoting's heart was full of admiration.

Not only that, because of this uncle's appearance, their family environment had improved a lot.

In the past, she couldn't stand her mother bullying her father and being unforgiving with her words, but now that wouldn't happen.

The bad guy role was played by Zhang Ran, and now the quality of life for the couple was quite good.

Actually, to put it bluntly, Qi Lin just had a kind of inexplicable pride in her heart; once this pride had no foothold with Gong Nan, plus the feelings in her heart, the change was very fast.

Seeing someone had come, Gong Nan didn't say much else and smiled as he said goodbye to Zhang Ran.

"Mm, come over to play when you have time." Zhang Ran didn't ask Gong Nan to stay.

Once Gong Nan had left, Wang Xianbin then smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, hello."

"Chairman Wang, hello, sit," Zhang Ran said with a calm expression.

Wang Xianbin had originally thought about finding some other topics to transition with, but seeing this, he knew it was better to get straight to the point.

"Mr. Zhang, it was my fault before, I ask for your forgiveness," Wang Xianbin was very straightforward.

Knowing that even in his current state he couldn't afford to offend Zhang Ran, he was very decisive in admitting defeat.

Although he was certainly uncomfortable in his heart, he was still capable of bending and stretching.

Zhang Ran narrowed his eyes and said, "Chairman Wang is joking."

"No, I ask that Mr. Zhang be magnanimous," Wang Xianbin kept his attitude very low.

Zhang Ran remained silent.

Wang Xianbin knew that doing this certainly wouldn't satisfy Zhang Ran; after all, many things could not be solved just by apologizing, they still required actual benefits.

And before coming, Wang Xianbin had already made preparations.

"Mr. Zhang, we will withdraw our capital from South Korea and simultaneously cut off cooperation with them," Wang Xianbin said directly.

Zhang Ran nodded, while saying, "Actually, it's not that we shouldn't cooperate at all; after all, business is about mutual exchange, but it absolutely cannot be like before, taking everything that comes in. You must learn to be selective."

"Mr. Zhang is right," Wang Xianbin said.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Ran knew he hadn't listened at all, sighed, and said, "Forget it, in the end, I'm just an outsider, I won't show off my meager skills in front of you."

"No, no, no, everything Mr. Zhang said is..."

"Alright, no need to flatter me. I know the situation. Forget it, I won't play word games with you. I won't say any more unnecessary words: within three months, at the very least three months, you are not allowed to have any form of cooperation with South Korea," Zhang Ran said flatly.

"Mr. Zhang, I..." Wang Xianbin was stunned for a moment; how much money would this lose?

The previous talk of cutting off cooperation was just following the instructions from above, not a total cut-off.

But now Zhang Ran was making him cut it off completely; although it was only for three months, after three months, it wouldn't be so easy to reconnect.

After all, the market was there; if they gave it up, it would soon be taken by others.

Zhang Ran looked at him and said, "Do you know how much loss you caused me because of this matter? Do you need me to calculate it with you?"

Zhang Ran didn't say any more unnecessary words; if he wanted to calculate it carefully, he could make Wang Xianbin go bankrupt right here.

Wang Xianbin knew that the situation was stronger than the person, and he also knew that because of his own blind confidence, there would certainly be some losses, but he hadn't expected the losses to be this big.

This was the punishment Zhang Ran gave him.

Actually, Wang Xianbin also understood that Wan Youliang certainly wouldn't stop their company's films for a long time.

But no one knew the specific time; not to mention anything else, just stopping for one month was a loss Wang Xianbin couldn't afford to bear.

Even if he could bear it, there would be internal conflicts in the company, and whether he could sit firmly in his position as Chairman would be another matter.

Thinking of this, a bitter smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Wang Xianbin's mouth; now, this was all he could do.

"I understand, I will follow Mr. Zhang's wishes," Wang Xianbin sighed and said.

Seeing that he agreed, Zhang Ran nodded and said, "If there is nothing else, you can head back first."

"Alright."

After Wang Xianbin left, Zhang Ran also let out a long sigh of relief; with Wang Xianbin out in front, the subsequent matters would likely be much simpler, and no one should try to trip him up anymore.
