Chapter 889: 885. Speculation (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Zhang Ran rested well for a night, but his spirit still seemed a bit listless the next day.

It was truly because he had been running around for so many days and had basically not had a proper rest.

Even when in Huaxia, he was busy every day; there were too many things he needed to think about.

What Zhang Ran felt most emotional about now was that he had long ago had the foresight to hand those industries over to professional Managers to handle, rather than managing them himself.

This way, he only had to oversee the overall situation, and he left most matters to people like Huang Lin to handle themselves.

As long as no major changes occurred, Zhang Ran never intervened.

But even so, things still came one after another, leaving him somewhat flustered.

If he were like those entrepreneurs who had to do everything themselves, Zhang Ran wouldn't have enough of himself even if he split into ten.

However, it was precisely because of people like Huang Lin that Zhang Ran could retaliate against the Rhode Family and the others without any scruples.

Zhang Ran's rear guard was stable, so he could launch a series of actions without restraint.

"Brother Zhang, you're awake. Hurry and taste the breakfast I made, how is it?" Huo Zhiyuan saw Zhang Ran get up and greeted him with a smile.

After washing up, Zhang Ran sat down, looked at the soy milk and fried dough sticks on the table, and was a bit stunned, "You made all of these?"

Huo Zhiyuan said somewhat embarrassedly: "It was made by Master Wang; I just helped out."

She didn't have such skills; although she knew how to cook, she hadn't done it for a long time, and these things weren't something she could make.

Zhang Ran took a bite and said: "Not bad."

After finishing breakfast, Zhang Ran said: "Do you want to come over with me?"

Huo Zhiyuan shook her head and said: "I won't go. I'll tidy up at home and take the opportunity to look around here."

Huo Zhiyuan had completely let go; she didn't want to be so busy anymore.

For so many years, she had always worked conscientiously, busy until very late every day; even when she was sick, she didn't dare to rest for too long.

What she feared was ruining this industry that Zhang Ran had handed to her.

So after all these years, Huo Zhiyuan was actually long tired; now that she had handed it over to Zhang Siyan, she could just as well take a rest.

And being able to stay by Zhang Ran's side, Huo Zhiyuan felt very satisfied.

"Alright then, you have a good rest. By the way, when you go out, remember to take bodyguards. This isn't back home, it's a bit chaotic here; it's better to be safe than sorry," Zhang Ran urged.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Zhang," Huo Zhiyuan replied with a smile.

Afterwards, after giving a few more instructions, Zhang Ran took his people and left, heading toward the Nanfaxing Building.

At this time, everyone had arrived; they had actually received the news long ago, as Zhang Ran had been doing these things with great fanfare in the country, and everyone was paying attention.

When Zhang Ran chose to stop, they knew the matter had reached a result.

It was just that they hadn't expected the result to appear so quickly.

In fact, everyone knew that they were playing a game of time difference; they knew that Zhang Ran couldn't hold on for too long.

Once time dragged on, the Rhode Family would certainly be able to raise a large amount of funds and, at the same time, be fully prepared.

But they never expected that Hanjing Group would admit defeat so quickly.

If Han Minxiu knew their thoughts, she would probably curse them to death—if you have the ability, come do it yourself.

It's not your loss, right?

In any case, Hanjing Group couldn't afford the losses anymore.

Everyone knew that Hanjing Group would definitely not be a match for Zhang Ran in the end; this was beyond doubt, because Hanjing Group was already in difficulty, otherwise they wouldn't have been forced by everyone to stand at the very front.

But being able to make Hanjing Group admit defeat so thoroughly and so quickly was also something they hadn't expected.

Furthermore, the losses on Hanjing Group's side also exceeded everyone's imagination; not to mention Hanjing Express, which was still being cannibalized and was on the verge of completely losing the Huaxia market.

But clearly, Zhang Ran had no intention of stopping.

Even the entertainment industry was the same; he didn't stop after Hanjing Group chose to admit defeat.

This also indicated that Hanjing Group was completely in a disadvantageous position, with no room for resistance.

Or to put it another way, Hanjing Group didn't have the mindset of "if the fish dies, the net breaks."

Zhang Ran was also too aggressive; even after admitting defeat, they still had to pay a certain price, which also made everyone feel a sense of shared anxiety.

But they didn't dare to break their promises again.

It wasn't that their combined strength was inferior to Zhang Ran's—that was impossible; these people were the top-tier individuals wherever they were.

But one point was crucial: these people were not of one mind.

They were just an exceptionally loose alliance.

Even if they had agreed to resist Zhang Ran together, everyone knew that if Zhang Ran extended an olive branch, that person would immediately change camps.

So uniting had no meaning at all.

Of course, there was a key node in this, which was that no one had yet figured out Zhang Ran's true strength.

Everyone didn't know what Zhang Ran was hiding, or if the hidden things would affect their own industries.

Just like this time with the British Telecommunications Business, before it happened, how could they have known that Zhang Ran had such great hidden energy?

Especially as they understood this project more deeply, they became increasingly clear about what kind of role Zhang Ran played in it and how many people were putting in effort inside.

These were the key points everyone needed to consider.

Because once they considered it wrong, they might become the Rhode Family of today, or even worse.

Everyone was thinking about their own affairs in their heads, and they all had their own plans.

They wouldn't wholeheartedly resist Zhang Ran; everyone understood this point, and once this was understood, there was no need to think too much about many things.

As for the Luode Xiongmei, although they felt a bit uneasy in their hearts at this moment, they had also made some preparations over this long period, and they believed they should be enough to deal with this crisis.

They had to thank companies like Hanjing Group for being too greedy, otherwise Zhang Ran wouldn't have given them time to react at all.

Once they hadn't raised a large amount of funds to buy back these bonds, they would probably be in a very difficult situation now.

They actually had the money, but it had all been invested; if they wanted to get it back, they could only sell off some assets.

But in this way, their investment would be a complete loss, which is not what they wanted.

Now that the funds are sufficient, even if Zhang Ran has any other tricks up his sleeve, they have the means to deal with them.

However, regarding this operation by Zhang Ran, the Luode Xiongmei also have some speculations in their hearts.
