Chapter 965: 960. The Headquarters Is Still Missing a Vice Chairman (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Situations like that of the Lingkai Machinery Factory are actually not isolated cases in various Group Companies.

When you develop in this city, and the authorities provide various preferential policies, you must also pay something in return.

Especially during the early and middle stages of development, this is an unavoidable matter.

Once things grow large, it is not easy to sell off these assets; doing so would offend many people. After all, they still need to continue developing here and still require various forms of support.

To say nothing else, just look at one point: local protection. This point is actually very important. Sometimes, a large company might survive precisely because of this policy, avoiding many dangers.

The retail group Maikai Supermarket is no exception; in some aspects, it is even more in need of it.

For instance, if Shangguo Supermarket were to march into the home base of Maikai Supermarket, it would have the posture of a bloody battle with Maikai Supermarket.

Then, sometimes, just a slight bias or change in policy could potentially alter the situation.

These are all reasons why Maikai Supermarket finds it difficult to offload these non-performing assets.

But if these subsidiaries were merged into the Headquarters, then things would be much easier to handle.

Because then, Maikai Supermarket would no longer have the final say; if there is trouble, go directly to the Headquarters.

After all, no one would truly tear their face off with Maikai Supermarket or the Headquarters over such a small matter.

Plus, everyone has a way to step down, and they can still continue to get along harmoniously.

Everyone understands this point; some people have excited expressions, but others have somewhat strange expressions.

Because this also represents certain interest groups.

Do not think that because these people have not been in charge of Maikai Supermarket for long, there are no intricate conflicts of interest.

As long as there are interests, many things will form a new interest group in a short period of time.

Zhang Ran also knows this situation, but under the premise that he provides some benefits, no one will refuse such a plan.

Even if they have the heart to refuse, they would not dare at this moment.

Because this only represents the interests of a certain group, not the whole, so under the premise of having benefits, no one will follow them.

"Mr. Zhang, I support this plan. Some of Maikai Supermarket's subsidiaries have indeed become a burden now.

Calling them 'chicken ribs' is even a compliment, but we cannot really throw these burdens away; that would affect much more.

If the Headquarters can come forward, then things will be much easier to handle." Jiao Zhen began to state his position.

With the statements from Zhang Ran and Jiao Zhen, many subsequent matters became much easier to handle.

"Alright, the next part is just some simple discussion, so I will not participate. Everyone can discuss it with Sicheng and the others.

Regarding these matters, if both sides reach a certain agreement, then I have no problem here," Zhang Ran said with a smile.

Once these words were spoken, the people from Maikai Supermarket subconsciously looked at Sicheng and the others; they had, of course, heard about the Huamei Group affair.

They did not expect that Zhang Ran would actually implement it at their Maikai Supermarket as well.

One must know that over at Huamei Group, Sicheng and his team had taken away quite a lot of benefits.

All of a sudden, everyone became somewhat excited, each of them looking at Sicheng and the others with burning eyes.

Sicheng and his team did not show weakness either, not retreating in the slightest.

Zhang Ran watched this scene, smiled, and did not say anything more.

"The first topic is the cash flow problem at Maikai Supermarket; in principle, I am not prepared to intervene in this.

After all, cash flow is also very important to you, but you all know that these cash reserves and the payments for goods are a huge sum.

The Headquarters also needs to carry out a certain degree of supervision, which is good for everyone, but you should discuss how exactly to supervise it," Zhang Ran said.

Zhang Ran's words also made many people breathe a sigh of relief; after all, it was only supervision, not reaching the hands of the Headquarters into their business.

If these huge funds were restricted, it would be a very big problem for Maikai Supermarket.

Sicheng and his team's eyes lit up, and they immediately prepared to start the battle, each of them rubbing their fists and wiping their palms.

Previously, they had suffered quite a few losses under the senior management of Huamei, and now they wanted to get it back from Maikai Supermarket.

However, the senior management here at Maikai Supermarket is a bit different from the senior management at Huamei Group.

That is, the senior management here is generally somewhat young; although the youngest is nearly forty, they are much younger compared to Huamei Group.

And this age is exactly when their energy is most vigorous; this refers to their energy in their careers.

When Jiao Zhen was poached by Zhang Ran, those who were able to follow him were all people with a certain degree of ambition.

And these people certainly would not be very old; if they were really fifty or sixty, why would they still follow Jiao Zhen?

They would not want to struggle anymore; having reached that age, they should just enjoy life, as that is the best way.

After Zhang Ran finished saying these words, he signaled that Sicheng and the others could begin. Sicheng and his team, who had long been prepared for this, immediately opened fire.

They had long since prepared some plans; what they had decided on now was to seize the initiative. No matter what, they had to stabilize their momentum first.

When they were at Huamei Group, it was because their momentum was slowly beaten away, and some people even began to doubt themselves, thinking that their plans were indeed not that correct, which caused them to fall into a disadvantage.

However, the people at Maikai Supermarket were not to be trifled with either, so at this moment, they were also arguing fiercely one by one.

"Brother Jiao, do you have any thoughts on this?" Zhang Ran asked with a smile.

Jiao Zhen was taken aback, not quite understanding what Zhang Ran meant. "Me?"

"Yes, the Headquarters is lacking a Vice Chairman. Brother Jiao, are you interested?" Zhang Ran asked.

Jiao Zhen did not expect that Zhang Ran would suddenly bring this up and even invite him to serve as the Vice Chairman of the Headquarters.

Although in terms of rank, it was certainly no different from his current position, some of the power would change.

Going from being the Chairman of just one group to being the Vice Chairman in charge of so many Group Companies and their subsidiaries.

Although he would no longer have direct management rights, this did not mean his power had shrunk; on the contrary, it had grown larger.

Jiao Zhen sighed and said, "I had originally planned to work for another three to five years, stabilize the group, cultivate someone to succeed me, and then retire.

Looking at you like this, you are not planning to let me retire, but are preparing to make me work for you for the rest of my life?"

"Haha, Brother Jiao, what kind of talk is that? It is just because your ability is strong that I cannot bear to let you leave," Zhang Ran laughed.
