Chapter 953: 948. Asking Zhang Ran to Step In (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
"But hasn't Huali Electric been doing just fine for so many years? This shows that our management is quite good." Someone was still dissatisfied.
Huang Lin looked at that person and said, "Uncle, do you feel no shame saying that? If it weren't for our Huamei Group giving you our full support—"
"First, there are the tens of millions in research and development costs every year, and then the sales channels were opened up entirely for you. Even with all that, you are still in this half-dead state, and you actually have the face to say your management is good."
Huang Lin was almost laughed to anger; it was truly ridiculous, and he really didn't know where these people got the courage to say such things.
The uncle also gave a somewhat sheepish laugh, but he was unwilling to be kicked out just like that; they certainly didn't want to leave the company now.
Once they left the company, not only would they only be able to collect dividends in the future, but they wouldn't have any power at all.
You have to know, there are many things where having money alone is not enough, especially for people like them who aren't all that wealthy.
For people who only have a little money, if they have no power in their hands, it really is a plummet from grace.
Moreover, them working at the company isn't just as simple as collecting a salary; there are other side perks as well.
"I believe Cheng Mei has already told you that Zhang Ran is now integrating the entire Group Company. This isn't just about our Huamei; other industries must also undergo integration."
"Under such a major trend, let alone your little Huali Electric, even our Huamei Group must comply," Huang Lin said.
"He can integrate all he wants, but what does that have to do with us? Besides, he won't even look twice at our small factory; he probably won't even think of us when the time comes," Huang Guang muttered.
As for talking about breaking away from Huamei, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
One knows one's own affairs best; if they really broke away from Huamei, Huali Electric would truly collapse the moment it was said.
"Heh, Zhang Ran specifically named your company. Do you really think he doesn't know about your affairs? It's just that Zhang Ran is doing me a favor by letting me resolve it myself," Huang Lin sneered.
Upon hearing this, the uncle was a little panicked, but he still couldn't bear to part with the power in his hands. "How about this, from now on, won't it be fine if we earnestly follow Huamei's arrangements?"
"Right? It's not like we are truly incapable of anything. Anyway, as long as we do whatever is arranged from above, won't that be enough?"
Once these words were out, everyone nodded in response; wanting to get everyone to let go of the power in their hands was simply impossible.
The suggestion the uncle just made was actually feasible; they really didn't believe Zhang Ran could keep his eyes on their Huali Electric forever.
He would probably only watch for a period of time, and might even forget about it in a couple of days. And when that time came, wouldn't they be able to do whatever they wanted?
Huang Lin clearly knew what they were thinking and was just about to say something, but Cheng Mei spoke first.
"Is this what you're saying?" Cheng Mei asked.
"Yes, yes, rest assured, we aren't unreasonable people. As long as our current positions are retained, we will do whatever the company says," Huang Guang also realized.
The others all nodded along.
Cheng Mei said, "Fine, then tomorrow I will report this matter to Zhang Ran and hear what Zhang Ran has to say."
"Brother, Sister-in-law, then you must put in a good word for us in front of Zhang Ran. This concerns the future of all of us," Huang Guang said immediately.
Cheng Mei said indifferently, "Whatever needs to be said, your brother and I will say."
After talking for a while longer, Cheng Mei shooed them away, and after receiving Cheng Mei's reply, everyone left feeling satisfied.
They also believed that as long as Cheng Mei and Huang Lin were willing to speak for them, this little matter would be no problem at all.
"What is the meaning of this? Can't you see what they are thinking? Do you expect Zhang Ran to be soft-hearted when the time comes?" Huang Lin was a bit angry.
Who knew Cheng Mei would be even angrier. "What do you know? Do you know what's on these people's minds? They are already obsessed; they don't know a damn thing!"
"Believe it or not, if we refuse today, tomorrow they could drag our mom and dad over here?"
"If I hadn't stopped them today, they would have already gone to drag them over."
Speaking of this, Cheng Mei was quite angry. The four elders of their two families were still around, but their health was already quite poor.
Now, because of good medical treatment, they could barely move around a little, but no one knew how long they could hold on.
They were currently arranged to recuperate in a place with a good climate; if they were tossed about by this group of people, who knew if they could survive it?
Hearing this, Huang Lin also fell silent. He believed his relatives, including his own younger brother, were capable of doing such a thing.
"Sigh, then what do you suggest we do? We can't just leave it like this, right? I believe if I vouch for them, Zhang Ran will agree, but you also know they aren't the type to get things done."
"You also know what Zhang Ran said before; Huali Electric is already a key project."
"Zhang Ran definitely won't forget. When that time comes, if a situation arises, will Zhang Ran let them off?" Huang Lin was also very helpless.
Cheng Mei said, "Since we can't convince them, then let Zhang Ran do it. Later, you go to Zhang Ran's place, tell him the situation, and ask for his help. I believe Zhang Ran will understand."
"What do you mean?" Huang Lin asked hesitantly.
"If we take the initiative to bring up the trouble now, Zhang Ran won't blame us. After all, they are blood relatives, and it's truly difficult for us to act."
"Zhang Ran clearly won't care about these things. Once Zhang Ran steps in, I think things will be much easier to handle." Cheng Mei clearly had already thought of a solution.
Huang Lin thought for a moment and could only say, "Fine, I'll go over in a while."
"Go now," Cheng Mei urged.
"Why should I go now? Those people might not have gone far yet. If they follow me there, how am I supposed to see Zhang Ran?" Huang Lin said helplessly.
Cheng Mei was also anxious; she was afraid that if they didn't give an answer in a couple of days, this group of people would really torment the four elders.
Such things seem very unfilial, and indeed they are very unfilial, but such things happen all too often in society.
Cheng Mei naturally didn't hold any hope for these people.
So she thought to resolve these matters quickly, lest they really cause a scene or something that would make them regret it.
After about another hour passed, Huang Lin finally left home and headed toward Zhang Ran's Siheyuan.
Just as he arrived and walked in a short distance, he heard the shouting of a group of people, and he sighed in his heart; Zhang Ran's tactic was truly effective.
