Chapter 888: 884. Mutual Benefit (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

"Then I will thank you in advance, Mr. Zhang," Luofeide said without hesitation.

Zhang Ran laughed: "There is no need for thanks; after all, this matter still requires your effort and help."

"It is like this: I have reached an agreement with the Hanjing Group, and they will carve out some shares from their business in Europe, America, and Australia.

However, they are also facing some difficulties here, and that is where you, Luofeide, need to handle things. When the time comes, we will also give you some shares as a return," Zhang Ran said briefly.

Luofeide understood as soon as he heard it; this was essentially equivalent to ceding territory and paying indemnities. The Hanjing Group had been beaten into submission and chose to give up some interests to let Zhang Ran let the matter slide.

Of course, Luofeide would not refuse such a good thing; the benefits were plain to see.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. If there is anything you need, just say the word," Luofeide said.

In Europe, his influence was quite significant. Over these many years, growing from a nobody to his current position, he had no problems with connections on any level.

Zhang Ran briefly mentioned the things he needed help with, and finally said: "There is no need to be in too much of a hurry. Let's wait until I have finished these matters here first."

"Understood," Luofeide replied very crisply.

He naturally knew why Zhang Ran was doing this. If the Hanjing Group's matter were resolved right now, and then they stirred up some trouble later, it would truly be infuriating.

Although it was highly probable that the Hanjing Group would not do such a thing, one must always fear the "what if."

Zhang Ran had given them a benefit, but of course, this was actually a mutually beneficial matter. Giving up this portion of interest would save Zhang Ran a great deal of trouble.

It could be said that in Europe, Zhang Ran only needed to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor; he did not need to intervene at all, as everything could be left to Luofeide.

Although it was called giving a benefit, it did not mean he would just give it away without doing anything; that was not Zhang Ran's style.

Because Zhang Ran knew very well that benefits given in such a way are rarely remembered by anyone, and might even lead some people to develop the mentality that this was rightfully theirs to begin with.

The benefits Zhang Ran gave were basically like this: he would let you do things, and you would be able to obtain some benefits while doing them.

This was what true cooperation looked like.

After talking for a while, Luofeide said somewhat embarrassedly: "Um, Mr. Zhang, I have a matter here that I would like to ask for your help with."

Luofeide was very polite.

Zhang Ran looked at Luofeide; he knew that this guy probably had something on his mind today.

"Tell me about it," Zhang Ran did not agree immediately.

"It is like this: some of my businesses in Huaxia have suffered from inexplicable targeting, especially in online shopping. I hope Mr. Zhang can help resolve this," Luofeide said directly, without any pleasantries.

"What is going on?" Zhang Ran asked.

"It is like this: you also know my situation. Every year, a huge number of copyright lawsuits come knocking at my door.

On top of that, some people have even sued me directly over in Huaxia, which led to some of my businesses being ordered to rectify.

And some partners are unable to cooperate because of these things, so I wanted to ask Mr. Zhang to step in and speak for me," Luofeide said.

He naturally had nothing to hide from Zhang Ran, as this idea had, after all, been suggested to him by Zhang Ran in the first place.

Zhang Ran was speechless; this guy really had thoroughly carried out his previous words!

"In all these years, have you never thought about doing your own designs?" Zhang Ran could not help but ask.

"I have, I do that too, but it's just not as convenient as copying. Of course, I also make some modifications here.

And Mr. Zhang, don't look at them as if they are standing on the moral high ground; in fact, over these years, they have also copied some of our styles.

It's just that I couldn't be bothered to argue with them," Luofeide said righteously.

Zhang Ran couldn't even be bothered to roast him. Was this "couldn't be bothered"?

This was fear of truly pissing these people off, right?

"Fine, I know. However, I can only say that for your sales in Huaxia, at the very least on the surface, you can only sell those styles that have no disputes," Zhang Ran said.

This matter was not difficult. After all, many people actually do things with the mindset of "better to do nothing than to make a mistake."

As long as Zhang Ran opened his mouth, coupled with Luofeide's guarantee, it would be doable.

Upon hearing this, Luofeide immediately said happily: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhang."

"It's nothing, everyone is helping each other. By the way, for those clothing styles of yours that have disputes, you can find some agents in Huaxia. In any case, don't come forward yourselves; give up a portion of the profits, don't think about eating it all by yourself," Zhang Ran suggested.

This guy was still so greedy; no wonder he was shut down just because of this little thing.

There was no help for it; if you don't have an agent, no one will speak for you.

Luofeide also understood this principle, but he spoke very directly: "Mr. Zhang, I feel it's not worth it to give this money to others. Why should they take the lion's share, and the key is that when something happens, they still make us come out to solve it.

These people just take the money and do nothing," Luofeide said.

Luofeide had also looked for agents at the beginning; he naturally understood this point, but as soon as a small problem arose, the agents would just ignore it and throw it back to him.

From then on, Luofeide canceled the agents here and went completely direct-sales.

"How about this: I will handle the matter of the agents. However, since I am stepping in, you still have to offer some discounts on the price," Zhang Ran said.

If he could secure Luofeide's agency in Huaxia, that would also be a significant amount of money. Of course, Zhang Ran didn't care for it, but he could arrange it for some people.

For example, Qian Li.

For such a long time, although Zhang Ran had given her many things, such as the regional agency for Kangshilan, etc.

But if possible, Zhang Ran was willing to give her more; after all, her help to Siyan over these years was completely worth this much.

Luofeide said without the slightest hesitation: "Of course."

Within a few sentences, they had settled the matter; the specific details could be handled by the people below.

Luofeide sat there for another half an hour or so, and finally, seeing that Zhang Ran seemed tired, he stood up to take his leave.

"Mr. Zhang, see you tomorrow. I believe no one will oppose you tomorrow," Luofeide laughed.

"I hope so."

After sending Luofeide away, Zhang Ran also prepared to rest. Being on a plane for so long was also very tiring.

Huo Zhiyuan had already tidied up his room again. It had to be said that although Huo Zhiyuan rarely did housework, she was quite skilled at these things; after all, she was a child born into a poor family.
