Chapter 964: 959. Asset Integration (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Regarding the integration of Maikai Supermarket, Zhang Ran had already made preparations; in truth, no matter how one put it, Maikai Supermarket was the easiest to integrate.

Because Zhang Ran had purged both sides, and on top of that, many high-level and middle-level managers had been replaced, Jiao Zhen no longer held deep-rooted influence at Maikai Supermarket.

Adding these together made the integration of Maikai Supermarket very simple.

However, even so, Zhang Ran still needed to show sufficient respect, otherwise, the people in the Maikai Supermarket faction would certainly feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, the benefits that should be given still had to be given; one could not withhold them just because things were simple and easy—that would be even worse.

Therefore, there were many things Zhang Ran needed to do, and the biggest part was balancing these various interests.

These matters all required Zhang Ran to handle and complete them one by one.

Furthermore, these matters had to be completed by him personally; if he left them to Sicheng and the others, that would be even more impossible.

It was only because Zhang Ran's prestige was currently at its peak, combined with his certain level of control over each Group Company, that there was hope of truly integrating these Group Companies together.

If this were dragged out any longer, when Zhang Ran's influence and prestige began to gradually fade, wanting to integrate them would no longer be such a simple problem.

For the next three consecutive days, Zhang Ran did not appear at Maikai Supermarket; it was always Sicheng and the others who went over.

In the evenings, Zhang Ran would then listen to the respective thoughts of Sicheng and the others.

When the fourth day arrived, Zhang Ran finally came to Maikai Supermarket, and upon arriving, he went straight into a meeting, unlike at Huamei Group where he had to tour the place first.

"I won't say much in the way of pleasantries; everyone knows what this is about," Zhang Ran said with a smile.

The high-level managers of Maikai Supermarket all nodded with smiles to indicate they understood; no matter how anxious they felt at this moment, they all needed to project a composed state.

The more critical the moment, the less one could afford to panic—at the very least, not on the surface. Once one showed poor performance, they might be left behind in the upcoming reforms.

Zhang Ran said directly: "In general, it is a matter of integrating the various groups. I have already reached a consensus on this with every Group Company. Now, what we need to discuss are the specific issues of each Group Company."

"I won't talk about other things for now; I will first state some of the arrangements I have made. You all listen as well, and if there are any doubts or points of dissatisfaction,"

"you can bring them up at any time, and we will conduct further discussions. After all, the entire Group Company is not a simple matter, nor can it be solved with a single word. I still hope that everyone can pool their wisdom and efforts to complete this task."

Although Zhang Ran had just said he would not use pleasantries, in reality, he still could not avoid the convention; these words were also meant to settle the hearts of these people.

"First is the issue of some positions at the Headquarters." As soon as these words left Zhang Ran's mouth, he saw some people immediately sit up straight, their expressions becoming serious and nervous.

"Most of the positions at the Headquarters are currently being drawn from the various Group Companies; this is also so that the Headquarters can quickly integrate and get along with the Group Companies."

"Additionally, after gaining experience at the Headquarters for a few years and simultaneously gaining an understanding of each Group Company, if you have the ability, the Headquarters will also arrange for you to be sent out."

"In principle, these are arranged at your original company, but these are just plans, not mandatory requirements."

Hearing these promises from Zhang Ran, the high-level managers of Maikai Supermarket felt a sense of relief in their hearts.

At the same time, they were also somewhat excited.

No matter how one put it, the Headquarters was one level higher in rank, and judging from the current situation, the power of the Headquarters would definitely not be small.

Although it was said that it was impossible to completely control the Group Companies below, it certainly possessed a certain level of binding power.

Likewise, if one entered the Headquarters, the scope of things would be a bit different.

Sure enough, they heard Zhang Ran continue: "I also have some industries abroad; these industries will temporarily not be integrated this time."

"However, although they are not being integrated, if the Headquarters truly has suitable talent, they will also be arranged to go there."

"I can tell you all this: as long as you have the ability, we have a suitable position to arrange for you."

"Even if there is no related industry, as long as you want to, we will provide the platform and resources for you to start a business."

This was also a grand vision Zhang Ran painted for them.

Following Zhang Ran's narration, this group of high-level managers at Maikai Supermarket could not help but become somewhat excited one by one.

Watching all this, Jiao Zhen also felt a bitter smile in his heart; Zhang Ran had completely dismantled everyone's resistance just by relying on these words.

Even if there were a few individual die-hards, they were not worth worrying about.

The reason Jiao Zhen felt a bitter smile was not because he wanted to stop it, but because he could sense that even though these people were all brought up by his own hands,

and even though these people were all his own team, if Zhang Ran truly wanted to seize power, it really would not be a difficult task.

This made Jiao Zhen feel somewhat uncomfortable, but that was all; after all, he himself was not a person who craved power.

In fact, these were all Zhang Ran's standard tactics; he had already used them once at Huamei Group.

But since they had already formed a routine, it meant that these methods had a certain universality.

It also meant they were effective.

A black cat or a white cat, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat.

"Does anyone else have anything they want to ask? You can say it now, and we can discuss it together," Zhang Ran said after taking a sip of water to moisten his throat.

"Mr. Zhang, I would like to ask, after the merger, what impact will it have on our Group Company? In what specific aspects?"

Zhang Ran said: "It is hard to say the specific impact for now; after all, many things require everyone to discuss a suitable plan together."

"However, one point is certain: in the future, some of the Group Company's subsidiaries may be separated from the Group Company and directly merged under the name of the Headquarters."

"This is also to reduce the burden on the Group Company. There are some things you might find difficult to do, but if handed over to the Headquarters, it will be much simpler."

"For example, selling off some non-performing assets, just like Lingkai Machinery Factory, this subsidiary that has absolutely nothing to do with you."

"I know some of your difficulties, and I also know that this machinery factory was a cooperative project with certain people due to certain relationships."

"Now this machinery factory has become a burden; not only is the profit low, but it also wastes a lot of resources."

"Therefore, Lingkai Machinery Factory will be directly merged into the Headquarters in the future, and then the Headquarters will come forward to carry out some rectifications. If it can be improved and integrated, then it will be improved; if not, it will be directly discarded."
