Chapter 894: 890. Heading to Switzerland (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Votes)
Otherwise, if any accident were to occur, Zhang Ran would truly have no chance to even regret it.
Liu Lu had no objections to her father-in-law's arrangements; this recent incident had truly frightened her.
If anything were to happen to them, she would never be able to forgive herself.
Thinking of this, she wanted to go and give Zhang Xiaotao a beating, but seeing the two little ones already asleep, she didn't take action.
"Those two little brats are truly cute when they're asleep, but once they wake up, it's really..." Zhang Sicheng said after returning from his phone call.
He didn't even know how to describe it.
Zhang Ran laughed: "We all went through that age; now they are at that age commonly known as the age when even dogs despise them. Once this period passes, they'll be fine."
"Besides, they are already very good now."
Zhang Sicheng was just saying it with his mouth; he was actually quite doting toward the two children.
After talking for a while, Zhang Ran hung up the phone.
After making some arrangements for the matters at hand, he temporarily put the children's affairs aside; he still had serious business to attend to.
"Go prepare; we are going to Switzerland tomorrow," Zhang Ran instructed.
He Qing nodded in response and immediately went out to make preparations.
"Switzerland? I haven't been there in a long time. The last time I went was for work, and I never really got to have a good time," Huo Zhiyuan said.
Zhang Ran said: "Then take this opportunity to have a good time."
"Hmm, the scenery there is quite nice." Huo Zhiyuan was truly looking forward to it.
After all these years, she had never really gone anywhere to have a good time, and now that there was such an opportunity, she didn't want to miss it.
Yin Long, on the other hand, quickly thought of something: "Brother Zhang, are you going to persuade the Swiss Bank?"
As the main issuer of the Oil Bonds for the Rhode Family, the Swiss Bank naturally held a significant amount of the bonds itself, no less than the Southern Bank.
The Dajing Bank was merely a backup option for Zhang Ran; whether it succeeded or not didn't matter. If the Hanjing Group thought they could use this as a trump card, they were truly mistaken.
Or rather, this was likely a trap Zhang Ran had set for the Hanjing Group.
If the Hanjing Group wanted to rely on this to retaliate or to extort a large sum, then Zhang Ran would let them know what it meant to try to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice.
After all, sometimes one still needs a legitimate reason to act, which also makes many people choose to stand by and watch.
If Zhang Ran really forcibly dealt with the Hanjing Group, then those conglomerates in South Korea probably wouldn't just watch.
But if the Hanjing Group took the initiative to stir up trouble, then those South Korean conglomerates would have no reason to get involved.
Of course, this was only on the surface; in reality, everything depends on interests.
However, even just doing this surface work well is of great use.
At the very least, Zhang Ran's own strength could deter some people, and with a legitimate reason, they would be even more wary.
Just like when Zhang Ran dealt with Huang Lin and those people, he always had a legitimate reason; even if some people wanted to choose to help, they still had to look at the actual situation.
Zhang Ran nodded and said: "That's right, the Swiss Bank is very important. Once we take them down, the Rhode Family will certainly not have enough money to fill this hole."
"But they aren't that easy to persuade, are they?" Yin Long asked hesitantly.
Zhang Ran laughed: "It's not as difficult as you imagine. Everything comes down to interests. As long as the benefits we offer can exceed those of the Rhode Family, then I believe they won't find it hard to make a choice."
"But in doing so, we will also have to pay quite a lot," Yin Long said.
Zhang Ran laughed: "I deposited quite a few things at the Swiss Bank back in the day. They should still be there now. If they aren't, that's even better."
Yin Long immediately understood Zhang Ran's idea.
Logically speaking, with the reputation of the Swiss Bank, after thirty years, they should still be preserved.
But one must prepare for the worst; if the Swiss Bank had lost the things Zhang Ran had stored, or if someone who knew the situation had embezzled them.
Then Zhang Ran would have something to say about it.
And such a situation might not have actually failed to happen, because Zhang Ran was not anonymous at the time, or rather, a large part of it was not anonymous.
If someone who knew the situation could hold back for the first year, who could guarantee they wouldn't be tempted after nearly thirty years?
As for the reputation of the Swiss Bank, as long as no one knew, their reputation would naturally not suffer any loss.
Of course, Zhang Ran had also cooperated with them many times back then.
Seeing that Zhang Ran had a plan, Yin Long didn't say anything more and quickly went out to prepare; he needed to handle all the miscellaneous tasks for Zhang Ran.
Just as Zhang Ran was handling these matters, the Rhode Family also began to move some of their funds.
The Southern Bank also began to gradually convert the Oil Bonds into cash.
It was just that the speed was not very fast; this also required some time. Involving such massive funds, every step had to be cautious.
Otherwise, if even a small problem occurred, it wouldn't be a small matter.
And the one who would need to take the most responsibility was, of course, Baoluo, the CEO.
The next morning, after Zhang Ran finished breakfast, he prepared to head to Switzerland; he did not hide his itinerary.
Of course, mainly because even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't; everyone was currently watching Zhang Ran.
The Rhode Family had clearly gathered the funds, so Zhang Ran's previous actions seemed to have lost their effect.
Everyone also knew that Zhang Ran was not someone who would give up so easily and must have another plan.
So everyone's eyes remained fixed on Zhang Ran.
Very quickly, when they learned the destination where Zhang Ran and his group were heading, some people showed expressions of sudden realization, but soon began to frown.
Zhang Ran and his group were heading to Switzerland, and their goal was certainly the Swiss Bank; everyone could guess this point.
But the Swiss Bank was not the Southern Bank; wanting to persuade them was very, very difficult.
And it must be said that the Swiss Bank's reputation in this regard was still decent. Since they had chosen to continue holding the Rhode Family's Oil Bonds, it was not easy to change their minds.
This was also the reason why the Rhode Family chose to hand over the majority of the Oil Bonds to the Swiss Bank to handle; sometimes, reputation is truly very valuable.
If it were someone else, everyone would probably think this was just a test, but this person was Zhang Ran.
Over the past few years, Zhang Ran had created countless miracles, and not just in recent years; it was even more so in the past.
Therefore, everyone held a sliver of a thought in their hearts that Zhang Ran might succeed.
After all, this was Zhang Ran!
Thinking of this, some people were suddenly startled in their hearts; they did not know when Zhang Ran had actually left such an impression on them, which caused the expressions of some people to change incessantly.
