After Zhong Yu finished saying this, he saw the expressions on Zhang Ran and the others, and a look of relief suddenly appeared on his face.

If he still couldn't satisfy Zhang Ran this time, then he really wouldn't know what to do.

"Manager Zhong, if you were to enter the Holding Group headquarters, how would you coordinate the issues between the various companies?" Zhang Ran asked suddenly.

Zhong Yu's just-relaxed mood became tense again, though this time there was a bit more excitement mixed in.

To say nothing else, as long as this Holding Group was established, the power of the group headquarters would certainly be immense, far greater than what he had now.

This was not just Huamei Group anymore; there was also Yaotian Pharmaceutical, Maikai Supermarket, Fengli Group, Kangshilan, and so on, and even Galaxy Capital.

Anyone would be tempted by such a scope of power.

He hadn't realized it until he calculated it, and the calculation gave him a shock; Zhong Yu hadn't expected Zhang Ran's business empire to be so vast, and if one really counted, Zhang Ran still had quite a few assets abroad.

However, Zhong Yu quickly regained his composure and wanted to open his mouth to answer, but after opening his mouth, he didn't know what to say.

This question didn't seem particularly difficult, because for such a question, one only needed to answer with some high-sounding rhetoric.

For example, talking about combining the strengths and weaknesses of each company to conduct effective management, while simultaneously letting them complement each other.

Zhong Yu could say a basketful of such things without repeating himself, but clearly, that was not what Zhang Ran wanted.

And as for asking Zhong Yu to state some specific matters, he really didn't quite know how to say it.

But Zhong Yu didn't want to give up this opportunity, so he finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not clear about the other companies for the time being, but I know what we should do here at Huamei."

Zhang Ran asked with interest, "Tell me about it."

Zhong Yu took a deep breath and took the opportunity to quickly organize his thoughts: "What Huamei does is sales, and this is the main thing; we only need to handle the channels well, and then the company won't have any problems."

"The era of 'channel is king' has never passed; it has just changed a bit. No matter what the product is, it must be sold."

"And re-establishing a channel is not only difficult but also requires a huge amount of capital; ordinary companies simply don't have this strength."

"Even companies with strength might be dragged down by this directly, so most companies choose to cooperate with channel distributors."

Zhong Yu first spoke about his understanding of channels so that he could have more time to think about how to answer.

Very quickly, he got to the main point: "The best partners for our Huamei are Fengli Group and Dahe Express."

"They have long been one company," Zhang Ran said suddenly.

Zhong Yu was immediately stuck; of course he knew, but in the hearts of people like them, these were actually still two companies.

Zhao Lifeng had no control over Dahe Express, and Dahe Express had no great influence over Fengli Group.

So it only looked like one company on the surface; in reality, they were still two.

However, since Zhang Ran had said so, Zhong Yu could only say, "Yes, it is just Fengli Group."

After a pause, Zhong Yu continued, "First, we must reach a strategic cooperation with Fengli Group; mainly, we will be responsible for offline, and they will be responsible for online."

"Dahe Express can also make our delivery service better; for us, this is a mutually beneficial matter."

"And many of our partners can also use this to..."

As Zhong Yu spoke, he became excited and couldn't stop himself at all. Zhang Ran didn't interrupt him either, just listening to Zhong Yu talk incessantly about his insights.

By the time Zhong Yu finished speaking, it was already 6:30 PM, and some people had already gotten off work.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I lost track of time," Zhong Yu said with an embarrassed look.

Zhang Ran waved his hand and smiled, "It's fine, Manager Zhong's ideas are very good."

After saying this, Zhang Ran didn't say anything more on the subject, making Zhong Yu feel increasingly uneasy, not knowing if Zhang Ran meant it was truly good or just saying it was good.

"Alright, the tour is about done, and I'm hungry. Let's go eat," Zhang Ran smiled.

He then took his people and left Huamei Headquarters, as if he had really just come for a tour today.

But Huang Lin knew that because of today's visit, most of Huamei's senior management probably no longer had any thoughts of resistance.

This also made him have to admire Zhang Ran; for something that clearly looked very thorny, Zhang Ran was able to simplify it.

With just a few empty promises, he had roped many people in.

Ever since entering Huamei Headquarters, Zhang Ran hadn't really promised anything, using a tone that suggested things were "possible" and the like.

Rather than giving a definitive answer.

Now look at these people; which one wasn't eager to try, and which one still had thoughts of resistance?

However, Huang Lin didn't have too many thoughts about this; after all, from the very beginning, he hadn't thought about opposing Zhang Ran.

From his previous failures, he had already lost the qualifications; he was indeed still in control of Huamei Group now, but if Zhang Ran were willing to pay a price, it wouldn't be impossible to eliminate these influences.

So Huang Lin was very sensible.

After having a meal with Huang Lin, Zhang Ran went home. The first thing he did upon arriving home was to ask Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan for their impressions.

"No particular impressions, just that it feels very complicated," was Zhang Sicheng's response.

Zhang Siyan said, "Actually, it's about the same as the situation at our company; everyone has their own agendas, but I didn't do as well as you did, Dad."

Zhang Ran smiled, "There's no such thing as doing well or not, and nothing is complicated or not. In the end, it's actually a matter of interest distribution."

"You need to know one thing: although these companies are ours, it doesn't mean we can really do whatever we want."

"Everyone needs to have their own value, and they also have to consider their own interests. It's a very simple point: under the premise that their interests are not guaranteed, who do you think is willing to work for the company, or work for us?"

Zhang Ran spoke simply and straightforwardly, and the facts were indeed so.

Zhang Ran's purpose today was to give those people some guarantees of interest; with these guarantees, the subsequent matters would be much easier to handle.

Zhang Siyan said thoughtfully, "Then should I do the same for our company? But some of their interests are fundamentally in conflict with mine."

Zhang Ran countered, "Then why are you still keeping them?"

"Interests can only come together if they are aligned. Just like the empty promises I made to them today—do these prospects damage our interests? They don't; they just combine our interests with theirs."
