Chapter 957: 952. Final Result (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Zhang Ran and Huang Lin talked here for nearly an hour and reached a certain agreement.

When they finally arrived at the conference room, the proceedings inside had already reached the most critical point.

No one even noticed the arrival of Zhang Ran and his group.

It was evident that everyone was very nervous; each of their faces had an unnaturally flushed look.

There was no helping it; this was a major matter concerning the development of Huamei Group, and it would determine too many things in the future.

And for Sicheng and the others, this was also a very important test.

Just like that, it continued until six o'clock in the evening, and the sky had already begun to grow dim.

"Speak," Zhang Ran said with a calm expression.

Sicheng took a deep breath and slowly began to speak: "It is like this: after two days of negotiation, we have reached a certain consensus."

The final result was about the same as what Zhang Ran had anticipated: 6.5 billion for the company's development; within this amount, Huamei Group has autonomy.

If they want to expand externally and step into other industries, then they only have 2 billion in autonomy.

Actually, 2 billion looks like a lot, but in reality, it is very little, especially in recent years with the formation of some large capital groups.

Once an industry with prospects is targeted by large capital, billions in funds will be dumped in an instant.

It is enough to make many people feel dizzy.

This also makes it very difficult for many small capital groups to have a chance to enter, which will form a certain degree of capital monopoly.

This trend is now becoming increasingly obvious.

However, this 2 billion can still be used to do big things; after all, no matter which industry it is, the initial investment certainly won't be very high.

Unless it is the kind that is particularly highly regarded.

With 2 billion as a base, once the preliminary work is done, the Headquarters won't be strangling them.

In fact, Zhang Ran consolidating these rights is also to integrate the company's resources.

Otherwise, if several Group Companies all favored certain projects and then competed against each other, the money lost would all be Zhang Ran's.

After Sicheng finished speaking, the senior executives of Huamei all looked at Zhang Ran nervously; no matter how well they had negotiated before, they still needed Zhang Ran to nod.

Zhang Ran had promised nicely before, but who knew if he would go back on his word in the end.

Especially since the current result seemed to have exceeded some of Zhang Ran's expectations; would it make Zhang Ran unhappy? And then cause him to go back on his word?

Such things had not been unheard of.

Although it had never happened with Zhang Ran, there had been examples among other big shots.

However, it was clear that Zhang Ran would not do such a thing.

Zhang Ran was seen revealing a smile, saying with a laugh: "Everyone has worked hard these past few days. Since it has all been negotiated, I have nothing more to say. From now on, Huamei will execute according to this plan."

As soon as these words were spoken, the senior executives of Huamei instantly breathed a sigh of relief; some even slumped into their chairs subconsciously—not out of fear, but out of exhaustion.

These days had worn them out, and now that the final result was out, they could finally relax.

However, they then heard Zhang Ran say: "There are still some specific details; I will have someone come over to explain them. I have also discussed this with Chairman Huang.

I have no issues with these investment quotas, but there needs to be a restriction on the time limits."

Zhang Ran only spoke briefly and did not explain the situation in detail.

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of some of Huamei's senior executives suddenly became sheepish; they had previously wanted to intentionally blur this concept.

Sicheng and the others were indeed fooled in this regard due to a lack of experience, but clearly, Zhang Ran was not.

However, they were already very satisfied with this result.

"Alright, everyone take a rest. Come to my home tonight to have a meal together and exchange thoughts on these past two days," Zhang Ran said, clapping his hands.

He then looked at Sicheng and the others and said: "You shouldn't be overly concerned with saving face. In many aspects, you have a large gap compared to these seniors.

I believe you have all learned of some shortcomings this time; now is the perfect opportunity to properly seek advice from these seniors."

Sicheng nodded earnestly; it was indeed so.

These past few days, Sicheng and the others had indeed discovered many of their own shortcomings, especially in terms of experience, where they were simply no match for these seniors.

Now that they had such an opportunity, they were unwilling to miss it.

Even though they were already very tired, the thought of being able to learn and improve made them feel energized again.

The senior executives of Huamei, however, all gave wry smiles, but they did not refuse Zhang Ran's suggestion.

Regardless, they were all very satisfied with the result this time, and there was no issue with mentoring the younger generation.

At eight o'clock in the evening, several tables were set up in Zhang Ran's Siheyuan. Everyone ate, drank, talked, and laughed, completely dispelling the previous tense atmosphere.

"Mr. Zhang, I toast you. You have also let us witness the terrifying potential of today's young people. If we didn't have a bit of skill ourselves, we really would have fallen into their hands this time," someone said with a smile.

Zhang Ran did not refuse; he took a drink with him first, then said: "They still have many shortcomings in experience, and these are things that require the help of you seniors."

"Haha, we have just eaten a bit more rice than them. If a few more years pass, I reckon we won't be their match anymore."

Zhang Ran laughed: "Actually, you can't say it like that. There are also factors of the growth environment involved. At their age, many people here were likely working hard, rising early and staying up late, and working part-time jobs for their studies."

"Or perhaps working as grassroots staff in some companies, but these people are different. From the very beginning, they started businesses, and coupled with the care from their families, the results are naturally different." Zhang Ran could be considered to be speaking up for these old folks.

"Although what you say makes sense, Mr. Zhang, we still have to admit we are getting old. And to be honest, seeing these young people, I really feel that I have aged."

"Haha, Lao Song, don't talk about being old. The company still needs you right now. Don't you go shirking your responsibilities, or else I'll have to give you trouble," Huang Lin laughed loudly.

For a time, the atmosphere in the venue became increasingly lively, and the young people were also drinking with these seniors.

In this regard, don't look at Sicheng and the others as young; these seniors were not intimidated by them at all.

Very quickly, they started a drinking contest. Zhang Ran did not stop them, just watching with a smile from the side.

This was also a way to deepen relationships.

This meal lasted until nearly twelve o'clock. In the end, many of these people did not rest immediately but were taken off to have fun by someone.

Zhang Ran did not stop them, only having people keep an eye on things so nothing would happen. As for the siblings Sicheng and Siyan, they stayed honestly at home.
