Chapter 907: 903. Mr. Zhang is not angry? (Seeking subscriptions and monthly tickets)

~7 min read 1,204 words

When Jiasen made his choice, the result was actually already set in stone, because Swiss Bank simply could not refuse such terms.

Moreover, it was not too difficult for them this time; at the very least, they did not offend the Rhode Family to the point of no return.

The current Rhode Family still has the intention to continue cooperating with them.

Of course, to say that Jiasen and the others do not resent Swiss Bank is impossible, but they dare not offend too many people right now; Zhang Ran alone has already left them overwhelmed, and now all their energy is focused on Zhang Ran.

Everything else can be set aside.

This matter looks entirely like the Rhode Family is at a disadvantage, as they must both buy back the company bonds and lose shares in South Bank.

It can be said that they suffered a major loss.

But in reality, it is not like that; although the matter of the Oil Bond was unavoidable, this actually counts as a benefit.

That is, by recovering these bonds, it is equivalent to resolving a significant portion of their company's debt problems.

And with less debt, they can proceed with some new loans; I believe many banks will be interested.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, which is that they have enough cash to recover these Oil Bonds.

Otherwise, those banks would not only refuse to lend, but would even question their ability to repay.

Therefore, Jiasen sold a portion of the South Bank shares, and this portion was also crucial; it not only raised enough money but also placed Swiss Bank in front of Zhang Ran, temporarily blocking for them the pressure of Zhang Ran's offensive at South Bank.

This is also killing two birds with one stone; it can be said that in this matter, such a choice was already the best one.

If Jiasen could not harden his heart and be decisive enough, then even greater losses would await him.

Zhang Ran, for his part, had not expected Jiasen to be so decisive, so when he received Aosituo's call on the third day, he was slightly stunned.

Early in the morning, Aosituo called Zhang Ran, simply stating that they had agreed to Zhang Ran's request, though the specifics would be discussed in detail later.

Zhang Ran did not refuse; originally, he had thought Swiss Bank would drag this out for a while, and he had already made preparations for that.

Zhang Ran had originally thought to initiate public opinion from Asia first; in fact, this was not only to create pressure on Swiss Bank but also to prepare for some things on his end.

He had not forgotten that there is still a Bank License in Huaxia; although it has not been given to him yet, judging from the current results, it is already a sure thing.

This was just making some preparations in advance.

But Zhang Ran did not expect Swiss Bank to make a decision so quickly this time, and they even agreed to his request, which actually surprised him a little.

However, since it has already happened, Zhang Ran stopped overthinking it; it is a good thing anyway.

Soon, Aosituo arrived at Zhang Ran's home.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Zhang Ran went straight to the point: "I really didn't expect you all to make a decision so quickly this time."

Zhang Ran was not putting on an act; at this point, there was actually no need.

Aosituo gave a wry smile and said: "Mr. Zhang, let alone you, I actually didn't expect it to be so fast either."

"If we could have this kind of efficiency every time, then I guarantee it would greatly increase the company's profits."

"Haha, the risks would also increase a lot," Zhang Ran laughed.

Such delays have both pros and cons; the good part is that although the time is a bit long, one can fully examine the feasibility of a plan.

One can even use this time to observe whether the operation of certain things is appropriate.

After a joke, Zhang Ran asked curiously: "I am really curious, why did you reach an agreement so quickly?"

Aosituo showed hesitation, and Zhang Ran laughed: "If it involves any company secrets, then pretend I didn't ask."

"That is not the case, and I estimate that Mr. Zhang will know soon enough." After hesitating slightly, Aosituo became frank.

After the matter is truly implemented, Zhang Ran will definitely receive the news; after all, Zhang Ran is also a shareholder of South Bank, and a shareholder with significant influence at that.

"I am all ears."

Aosituo said: "Mr. Jiasen of the Rhode Family has sold 2.5 percent of South Bank's shares to our Swiss Bank."

Zhang Ran was stunned after hearing this, then immediately started laughing; this Jiasen is really something, to be able to make such a decision.

In fact, Jiasen guessed correctly; Zhang Ran wanted to use South Bank to tie up their funds and a large portion of their energy.

In this way, it would be convenient for him to do many things.

But now it seems that Jiasen was not oblivious, and he possessed sufficient decisiveness.

"Is Mr. Zhang not surprised?" Aosituo asked.

Zhang Ran said: "I am a little surprised, but that is about it. It seems Jiasen has indeed grown a lot over these many years."

As he spoke, Zhang Ran felt a bit sentimental; the young man who used to follow behind his backside now already had a hint of craftiness about him.

"Then does Mr. Zhang have anything to say?" Aosituo said.

"Say what? Do you want me to congratulate you?" Zhang Ran glanced at him and said.

Aosituo smiled and said: "Of course not. In this way, all of Mr. Zhang's previous plans have fallen through."

"Now I am not afraid to reveal some situations to Mr. Zhang; this time the Rhode Family does not need to pay a single cent to redeem the Oil Bonds."

Actually, Aosituo was still a bit smug; although he did not make this decision, he was still very happy to be able to make Zhang Ran suffer a setback.

Who told Zhang Ran not to give him face these past few days? Although Aosituo did not mind on the surface, he was still very unhappy inside.

Now that the opportunity had come, he wanted to properly mock Zhang Ran.

Of course, on the surface, Aosituo was still very polite; at the very least, he could not truly provoke Zhang Ran.

Judging from past situations, Zhang Ran is a very emotional person; if Zhang Ran were provoked, Aosituo could not be sure whether Zhang Ran would fight them at Swiss Bank to the death over this small issue.

Zhang Ran saw through Aosituo's intentions, but he did not care: "Since I have achieved my goal, why would I be angry?"

"Hm?" Now it was Aosituo's turn to be puzzled; does this count as Zhang Ran achieving his goal?

If one were to insist, it could count, but in reality, Zhang Ran completely accomplished nothing this time, and even let the Rhode Family escape from the quagmire of South Bank.
