Chapter 968: 963. Urging Procreation (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Zhang Ran hurriedly grabbed Zhang Peicheng, "What's the rush? I've made this trip, and you want to leave without treating me to a meal?"

Zhang Peicheng was speechless, "I came to tell you this news, and you actually have the nerve to ask me to treat you?"

"Aren't we friends?" Zhang Ran asked.

"We are."

"And you're living in Beijing now, aren't you?"

"That's right."

"Then there you go! As the host, what kind of behavior is it to not treat a friend who has come to visit?" Zhang Ran said righteously.

Zhang Peicheng was stunned by Zhang Ran's thick skin; he really hadn't expected Zhang Ran to be this shameless.

However, he also knew that Zhang Ran likely still had things he wanted to ask.

After thinking it over, he wasn't in a hurry to leave. Since Zhang Ran wanted to know, he might as well take this opportunity to get everything cleared up.

It would also save him from having to be sought out later.

Next, Zhang Ran did indeed chat with him a lot about the new telecom company, such as how much say he could have in it and what aspects needed attention.

These were things Zhang Ran urgently needed to know. Since Zhang Peicheng had come to find him personally, even though it was discussed privately, the matter could already be considered a done deal.

Therefore, once Zhang Ran had clarified these things, he could make arrangements accordingly.

Zhang Ran stayed in Beijing for two days, and only after he understood everything clearly did he return to Yaotian Pharmaceutical.

He did not publicize this matter widely, as that would not be a good thing for him.

However, there were still some people who needed to be notified; after all, preparations needed to be made in advance.

Moreover, the structure of the Headquarters also needed some changes. Regardless, this Fourth Telecom Company would certainly become a behemoth, holding a pivotal position even within the Headquarters.

These were also things Zhang Ran needed to consider.

Zhang Ran first told the news to the siblings Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan, letting them have some preparation in their minds.

When Zhang Sicheng and his sister heard this news, their mouths hung open in surprise; there was no helping it, this news was simply too shocking for people like them.

And when they learned that their family could become a major shareholder of the Fourth Telecom Company, it was even more so.

This represented many things.

Even if the descendants of the Zhang Family had no ability and squandered all the other industries of the Zhang Family.

As long as they kept these shares, they would not collapse completely.

Of course, if that were truly the case, the descendants of the Zhang Family might not necessarily be able to hold onto these shares.

But there was no doubt that for the current Zhang Family, this was an excellent opportunity.

"Dad, what do you plan to do?" Zhang Sicheng couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Siyan was also looking at her father with burning eyes; she also understood what this meant for their Zhang Family.

Zhang Siyan's mindset had now completely transformed. If one spoke of the past, there was still a sense of "marrying a chicken, following the chicken; marrying a dog, following the dog," needing to think for her own small family.

But now, Zhang Siyan had absolutely no such thoughts. She was a member of the Zhang Family, forever, and no matter what happened in the future, only the Zhang Family was her true home.

Therefore, whatever Zhang Siyan thought about now, her first thought was always for the Zhang Family, rather than anything else.

As for saving some family assets for herself, or saving some for Susu, she didn't think about that at all.

Because Zhang Siyan knew that her father would definitely consider everything for her clearly and thoroughly.

She didn't need to worry about these things herself.

As for Susu, Zhang Ran was even more concerned than she was, so there was even less need to worry about anything.

Zhang Ran tapped his fingers on the tabletop, "This time is a good opportunity for our family. Sicheng, you are actually almost set in your ways. Even though you have grown a lot over such a long time, there are still some things you don't quite understand."

Zhang Sicheng did not speak, just quietly listening to his father's narration.

"I won't mention other things for now. The most important thing is that you haven't dealt with the higher-ups. In the past, I didn't know what to tell you to do either. I just thought that if your ability was sufficient at the time, you would directly take the position of Chairman, and I would help you watch from behind; then you would naturally start learning how to get along with the higher-ups."

"But this also has a drawback, which is that standing too high from the start might lead to many oversights."

"But it's better now. With this telecom company, you can first enter and make connections here. Once you're ready, you can take over as Chairman of the Headquarters."

This was the first time Zhang Ran had clearly and plainly explained his thoughts to Zhang Sicheng.

As for Zhang Siyan, she had no intention of competing with her older brother at all.

"I understand." Zhang Sicheng also knew that the time had come to make trade-offs.

In the past, no matter what he did, his father supported him.

He wanted to make games, and Zhang Ran did not refuse.

But now, it no longer allowed him to be so willful, or rather, he also needed to lay a foundation for the next generation.

To say nothing else, just waiting for when Zhang Xiaotao grew up, he would also need powerful protection.

Although Zhang Ran would always be watching from behind, Zhang Ran actually didn't want to keep managing specific affairs; that would be very tiring.

And in fact, Zhang Ran was not good at this; what he was good at was making decisions on the big picture, not constantly handling the trivial matters of the company.

"Alright, it's still early. By the time the telecom company is established, it will probably take several more years. In these few years, just work well at your company; there's no need to rush," Zhang Ran said.

Immediately, he looked at the two of them, "However, our Zhang Family's offspring are indeed a bit few. I won't mention Siyan for now, but haven't you and Xiao Lu prepared to have another one? It's not like our family can't afford to raise one."

"And I see that Taotao doesn't have any intention of resisting."

Zhang Sicheng became a bit embarrassed. In the past, Zhang Ran had never said these things, but now he had brought it up.

In fact, this was normal; after all, the Zhang Family's industries were too large, and it really did need more people to manage them.

As for bringing in other relatives, such as those from Liu Lu's side, Zhang Ran was not very willing.

So he could only urge Zhang Sicheng.

However, Zhang Ran only mentioned it this once and did not say more on this aspect, let alone insist that they must have another one.

Zhang Sicheng and his wife also had their own ideas, and Zhang Ran would not force his will upon them.

Next, Zhang Ran discussed quite a few company matters with the siblings Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan; this was also the first time Zhang Ran had talked to them about these things in this way.

Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan were both a little nervous, deeply afraid that they had not met their father's goals, but Zhang Ran did not show much of a reaction; on the contrary, he was very happy about their growth.

"How have you been finding things here at Yaotian Pharmaceutical?" Zhang Ran changed the subject once again.
