Chapter 904: 900. Zhang Ran's Terrifying Influence (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Thinking of so many things, Jiasen couldn't help but break into a cold sweat; he had to admit, Zhang Ran seemed to have calculated everything.

It started merely from an attack on the South Bank, initially appearing to be unrelated matters, just internal strife within the South Bank.

Even later on, when Zhang Ran targeted their Oil Bond, it only made Jiasen feel slightly vigilant.

But looking at it now, the whole situation is not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

From an Oil Bond they didn't even care much about originally, it could directly plunge their family's entire industry into an extremely dangerous position.

"Mr. Aosituo, in our long time of cooperation, even if we don't have a deep friendship, we at least need some basic trust. Give me the truth: what exactly is the decision-making body thinking?" Jiasen stopped arguing with Aosituo about these trivialities and asked directly.

Aosituo thought for a moment, sighed, and said: "The situation is not optimistic. No one knows the specific situation on Zhang Ran's side, but we all know one thing: he absolutely has the ability to make this matter known to the whole world."

"Actually, yesterday, we started contacting some world-renowned media, but you know what answer they gave us?"

Jiasen's eyes flickered, he didn't speak, just stared intently at Aosituo.

Aosituo gave a bitter smile and said: "They are all stalling us. You have to know this is Europe and America, not Asia, and certainly not Huaxia."

"He is a Huaxia person, yet he actually has such great influence in the major media circles of Europe and America. Can you imagine this?"

To tell the truth, Aosituo himself is actually in a state of shock right now.

This was something he truly hadn't expected.

Previously, although he was worried, he wasn't actually as anxious or concerned as he had imagined.

After all, no matter what, this is Europe, not Huaxia.

Many European media circles don't really care much for Huaxia, and some even actively attack Huaxia in terms of public opinion.

But on this matter, Zhang Ran actually managed to reach a certain agreement with many European media outlets.

This made Aosituo feel a sense of shock!

Zhang Ran is a Huaxia person, and a Huaxia person who has been missing for so long, yet he actually made the mainstream European media give him such a huge favor.

Hearing Aosituo say this, Jiasen couldn't help but show shock in his eyes; this was something he really hadn't expected.

Qiaosilin was quite calm: "Actually, it's not very surprising. Zhang Ran has always had some arrangements in this regard before, it was just very secretive."

As she spoke, she looked at Jiasen and said: "We should have been able to notice it earlier. You know, in the last twenty years or so, some mainstream European media have mostly chosen to be neutral when facing many issues regarding Huaxia, not like they were before."

"Even if there were times when the language was more aggressive, you and I both know what the actual situation was."

The meaning in Qiaosilin's words was actually very clear; this was Zhang Ran's past influence at work.

The things Zhang Ran did before were not in vain.

"So, is your Swiss Bank afraid of Zhang Ran now?" Jiasen ignored Qiaosilin and said with a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.

Aosituo wasn't angry, just spread his hands and said: "The actual situation is just like this. I won't say anything to save face. The current situation is that when facing this matter, we are indeed afraid of Zhang Ran."

"Because we discovered that once we cannot reach a consensus with Zhang Ran on this matter, the resulting losses are something we cannot estimate, and this is something we are unwilling to see."

He was quite straightforward; the actual situation was just like this, and there was no point in hiding it anymore.

Conversely, he could also test the sincerity of the Rhode Family.

"Then what must be done for you to continue supporting our family?" Jiasen took a deep breath and asked.

On this matter, he didn't need to mock the Swiss Bank; after all, their own situation was actually the same.

"This is hard to say for now, but to tell you the truth, just based on our previous state of cooperation, it cannot make the decision-making body change its mind," Aosituo said truthfully.

Although only one day, no, half a day had passed, many people's thoughts had already changed.

Even if they were furious at Zhang Ran, they had to compromise at this time.

Before, they were worried about their situation in Asia, but now it's not just Asia; even their home base in Europe and America would be threatened.

This forced them to compromise.

"Fifty million, delay it for one day!" Qiaosilin suddenly said.

She said this openly and honestly, because this was Aosituo's office; no matter what, it wouldn't spread outside.

Aosituo's expression changed immediately; he knew what Qiaosilin meant.

Fifty million US dollars to make him stall.

This was not impossible, because right now, the other shareholders were only leaning toward Zhang Ran in their hearts, and making a decision wasn't that simple.

Especially since the Luode Xiongmei were now starting to lobby others.

But very quickly, Aosituo shook his head and said: "This matter is really not something I can decide. You also know that no one can bear the consequences of this matter."

"One hundred million!" Qiaosilin said with an unchanging expression.

She understood Zhang Ran; if he said two days, he would absolutely not give a third day.

As long as they could drag it past this last day, Zhang Ran would definitely take action, and by that time, the Swiss Bank would have to stand on their side.

These two days were both the pressure Zhang Ran put on the Swiss Bank and the shackles he put on himself.

After all, if Zhang Ran hadn't set a time limit for this matter, the Swiss Bank could have dragged it out for ten or eight years.

By then, let alone posing a threat to the Rhode Family, the opportunity would have long since passed.

So this was something Zhang Ran had to do; it wasn't that Zhang Ran was always this aggressive.

Before Aosituo could speak, Qiaosilin continued: "Three hundred million US dollars!"

Once these words were out, Aosituo was shaken; three hundred million US dollars!

This amount, let alone him, would even tempt many shareholders. Don't look at how these rich people often treat money as money, but in reality, three hundred million US dollars is enough to influence many things.

Aosituo is the CEO of the Swiss Bank, but he doesn't have shares in the Swiss Bank, only some small dividend rights.

His annual salary is about twenty million US dollars, which is already quite a lot, plus other situations, thirty million a year, that's in the best of times.
