Financial freedom is truly too important for a Group Company; with this promise from Zhang Ran, no one cared about the previous losses of the subsidiaries anymore.

This is a classic case of wielding a stick and then offering a sweet date.

Although everyone understood this, they still couldn't help but feel happy in their hearts.

"However, the Supervision Department will not be withdrawn. From now on, the duties of the Supervision Department will also be constrained; without permission, they have no right to inspect any accounts," Zhang Ran continued.

This gave everyone another surprise.

This was Zhang Ran voluntarily relinquishing his own power; of course, this was also because if the power of the Supervision Department were too great, Zhang Ran was certain that before long, the entire Supervision Department would rot from within.

It was precisely because of this that Zhang Ran made such a decision.

However, Zhang Ran was about to tighten his grip on power next: "The appointment of department managers for the Group Company must be made by the Headquarters; it is no longer sufficient for the Group Company to make decisions internally."

Huang Lin understood in his heart that this was bound to happen sooner or later, so he didn't say much.

"Mr. Zhang, what about other personnel appointments?" someone asked.

"The others will naturally still be decided by your Group Company itself, though for certain positions, the Headquarters here also holds the right to make recommendations," Zhang Ran said.

"What does Mr. Zhang mean by this 'right to make recommendations'?" This time, Huang Lin took the initiative to speak.

"For example, regarding the deputy general managers under a department manager, the Headquarters will in principle not interfere, but if the Headquarters has suitable talent, they can also directly recommend them. Of course, the specific decision still needs to be made by your Group," Zhang Ran said with a smile.

Huang Lin stopped talking; this was also Zhang Ran preparing to control the Group Company in the future, and it could be considered a form of restriction.

This restriction was two-sided: first toward the Headquarters, and second toward the Group Company.

This also effectively provided room for both sides to maneuver; as for how things would turn out, it would depend on the skill of both parties.

A company is certainly not entirely of one mind; even for those who start a business together, once the company reaches a certain scale, there will inevitably be various struggles.

Not to mention the scale of these Group Companies.

Such struggles actually have their benefits, as they can maintain some blood circulation within the company.

Otherwise, if everyone were truly of one mind, then one person could stay in a position until they grew old.

This is completely inconsistent with a company's development plan.

A company needs to constantly fill in new talent, and a level like deputy general manager is exactly the most suitable for both sides to compete over.

It neither affects the overall operation of the company's departments nor prevents the ability to exert some influence on the company at some point in the future.

"At the same time, the Group Company also has the right to make recommendations to the Headquarters; for some positions at the Headquarters, the Group Company can also apply," Zhang Ran continued.

Some people's minds were stirred again by Zhang Ran's words; it was foreseeable that the Headquarters would definitely need a lot of manpower in the future.

And these people seemed to be the best choice; after all, if they were to choose entirely outsiders, the Group Companies below would not agree.

Why should someone who has never contributed anything to the company be allowed to command me?

Moreover, those people don't understand the Group Companies below very well and simply wouldn't be able to truly get the Headquarters running.

If that were really the case, those people would have plenty of ways to fob off these outsiders.

But what if the majority were chosen from these original high-level executives?

Then this problem would not exist, and the power of the Headquarters would certainly be great; even though Zhang Ran had already made multiple constraints, the Headquarters was still the Headquarters.

Furthermore, once one is appointed to the Headquarters, even if they are later sent down, at the very least, it would be a promotion.

Who wouldn't want such a benefit?

So Huang Lin saw that with a single sentence, Zhang Ran had completely dissolved the somewhat resistant mindset of their company's top brass.

Next, Zhang Ran mentioned some other plans; he didn't go into specifics, as they were all broad-direction matters.

The specifics would still require time to discuss, and it wouldn't be Zhang Ran doing it—even if Zhang Ran had ten clones, it wouldn't be enough.

"After the Headquarters is established, we will specifically send people over to conduct a series of inspections of the Group Company; I hope everyone will be accommodating at that time," Zhang Ran said with a smile.

"This is our duty," the people below said one after another.

As for Meng Mingxuan, Huang Xunceng, and the others, they were all feeling quite stirred at this moment; they were not fools, they were elite talents, and several of them even had their own companies.

They could all understand the implications behind the words and actions of Zhang Ran and Huang Lin.

Seeing Zhang Ran slowly bring the Group Company under the banner of the Headquarters like this, they were all somewhat shocked in their hearts, and they also felt a bit more admiration for Zhang Ran.

Just as everyone was preparing to disperse, who would have thought that Zhang Ran would suddenly say to Huang Xunceng: "Huang Xunceng, you tell us, is there anything wrong with our previous plans?"

As soon as Zhang Ran said this, everyone was stunned, including the father and son, Huang Lin and Huang Xunceng.

However, Huang Xunceng reacted quickly and stood up, looking slightly excited. Although he was already considered a successful businessman, talking about such matters on an occasion like this, in front of these people who could all be considered old seniors in the business world, he still felt a bit of excitement in his heart.

"The plans of Uncle Zhang and the seniors are very good, and I have no objections," Huang Xunceng said.

But he quickly changed his tone and said: "However, I think that in the division of some powers and responsibilities, it still needs to be more specific."

This remark made many people look displeased, but they all looked at Huang Lin, and in the end, no one spoke.

Sure enough, they heard Huang Xunceng say: "Regarding finance, this point is extremely important for the Headquarters; leaving it entirely to the Group Company to operate independently seems a bit inappropriate."

"Oh? Then what do you suggest we do? Don't forget, this time it is not just Huamei Group, but your company as well that is in the ranks of this integration," Zhang Ran said with some surprise.

He really hadn't expected Huang Xunceng to speak from this perspective.

"I certainly know that, but right now I am not standing in the position of the head of the Group Company, but in the position of the Headquarters," Huang Xunceng said seriously.

Zhang Ran suddenly started laughing, the kind of loud laughter; it was clear he seemed very happy.

"Lao Huang, look at that, you've been outdone by your son now. Look at what he is thinking about, and look at what you are thinking about. Your son is already aiming for the position of Chairman of the Headquarters, while you are still thinking about your own little plot of land."
