Chapter 943: 938. Don't Regret It (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
"What are you all thinking? Do you really think this is a daycare center?" Zhang Ran asked, annoyed.
Zhao Lifeng smiled and said, "That couldn't be, and they are all adults, too."
"Then what are you all doing here?"
"Mr. Zhang, it's a bit unfair of you to ask that, and I'm not satisfied with you doing things this way," Zhao Lifeng said directly.
Feng Hui was slightly surprised to see Zhao Lifeng being so blunt.
Unlike the others, Fengli Group was founded by Zhao Lifeng single-handedly; although he didn't hold many shares now, the actual control of the company was still in his hands.
Of course, due to a series of moves by Zhang Ran, plus the addition of Dahe Express, his control over Fengli Group was no longer as strong as it used to be.
Zhao Lifeng had also gradually realized that while the addition of Dahe Express could bring stronger competitiveness to Fengli Group and fill a huge gap,
the impact it brought was also quite terrifying. At the very least, he could no longer command the same level of authority at Fengli Group as before.
Zhao Lifeng also felt increasingly in awe of Zhang Ran's methods. Many things seemed to be for your own good—and they really were—but Zhang Ran was always able to get what he wanted from them; even if you figured it out later, you simply couldn't refuse.
"Oh? I'm unfair? If you don't explain yourself clearly to me today, I'll have to fight you in person," Zhang Ran said coldly.
Upon hearing Zhang Ran's words at first, Feng Hui and the others were a bit startled, thinking Zhang Ran was truly angry.
But when they heard the rest, they knew they had overthought it.
Zhao Lifeng was completely unaffected. "Mr. Zhang, you've called over Meng He's and Huang Lin's sons to educate them, but even if we haven't made great contributions, we've still put in the hard work. You can't treat us differently."
Zhang Ran said with a smirk, "Is that it?"
"That is the reason!" Zhao Lifeng said very firmly.
"But have you thought about this? Meng Mingxuan and Huang Xunzeng are actually the same as you. Although the companies they manage aren't as big as yours right now, you can see their future prospects, but your sons aren't like that," Zhang Ran said softly.
Originally, he thought Zhao Lifeng would be embarrassed and try to play the rogue, as Zhao Lifeng was quite good at that.
But who knew Zhao Lifeng would be even more righteous. "This just shows even more that you are biased, Mr. Zhang. Look, you've helped Old Meng's and Old Huang's sons, why not help our sons?"
"Although their abilities are probably open to question, can't they at least be given a try?"
Zhang Ran was truly impressed by this old guy's thick skin; how shameless must one be to say such things?
But Zhao Lifeng not only said it, he said it with such righteous indignation.
Zhang Ran took a deep breath and said, "So, it's really my fault then?"
"Cough, cough, well, it's not that, it's just that I want Mr. Zhang to give them a chance too. Besides, I think if you're herding one sheep, you might as well herd a whole flock.
It just so happens that now is the time for them to learn, and this is a rare opportunity that shouldn't be wasted."
Looking at Zhao Lifeng's grinning face, Zhang Ran really couldn't stay angry; this old guy had this aspect handled perfectly.
Feng Hui and the others on the side were stunned, and then they couldn't help but secretly give Zhao Lifeng a thumbs-up in their hearts; he was worthy of being someone who could build such a large company.
This thick skin and this eloquence were truly incomparable to theirs.
"Alright, alright, I'm impressed by the thickness of your skin. Since you're here, then let them all stay," Zhang Ran said.
Zhao Lifeng immediately said, "I knew Mr. Zhang wouldn't treat us differently. You guys insisted on saying otherwise—look, how could Mr. Zhang be that kind of person?"
Feng Hui and the others now wished they could just pick up a brick and smash this guy in front of them to death. When did they ever say that? It was clearly all you who said it.
Now you've said all the good and bad things, and in the end, it's our fault.
In fact, last night, they had already learned the specific situation from Meng He and the others, and they immediately contacted each other, finally deciding to send their own children over.
Actually, they didn't have any special thoughts about their sons taking over the business, just like Jiao Zhen.
He did have shares in Maikai Supermarket now, which were rewarded to him by Zhang Ran, but these shares only made him a very, very small shareholder with no say at all.
Still want his son to take over?
He might as well be dreaming. So Jiao Zhen understood the situation very clearly; he simply wanted to use this opportunity to get his son into Zhang Ran's field of vision.
And then receive some of Zhang Ran's guidance.
The first point was the most important. Jiao Zhen now understood that with the stabilization of social development, some things were hard to be like they were before.
Like in the past, as long as you had the guts and the ability, you could basically carve out a piece of the world.
But it's not like that now. Now you need guts and ability, but more importantly, you need resources and capital!
Once you lack these two, wanting to succeed? It's very difficult!
And if you gain Zhang Ran's recognition, not to mention anything else, even if the son has no ability in the future, Zhang Ran could help arrange a decent position for the sake of an old friend, at least allowing them to stay in this social class without having to climb back up.
This is very important.
As for Zhang Ran's ability to educate, Jiao Zhen was also very impressed. What Meng He and the others could see, these people could naturally see as well.
They had all witnessed the rapid growth of Siyan and Sicheng.
Zhang Ran's contribution to this was significant; Zhang Ran was able to provide them with the best help at the most appropriate time.
Allowing them to learn more and better things.
"But you also need to think clearly. If you send your sons to me, I might arrange some things for them to do. Don't regret it later," Zhang Ran said in a deep voice.
Feng Hui didn't quite understand, but Zhao Lifeng understood instantly. Zhang Ran wanted to use Zhao Xiaoyu and the others to handle some internal matters within their groups.
However, Zhao Lifeng agreed without even thinking. "No problem, I'll send my son over, and everything will be up to Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Ran looked at him, not knowing what to say for a moment. This guy really never thought about handing Fengli Group over to his son from start to finish!
Although it was difficult, the fact that he agreed so readily without even thinking still surprised Zhang Ran.
