Chapter 977: 972. Seemingly Understanding Yet Not (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

However, Zhang Ran did not expect that the founder would be so decisive; after getting the money, he kicked people out directly and then proceeded to make this industry bigger and stronger.

Although this enterprise is not considered a super-large group now, it is a medium-sized enterprise with assets of several billion US dollars.

It can be said that Zhang Ran's investment back then has multiplied I don't know how many times.

Zhang Ran counted them one by one, informed Zhang Sicheng and his sister of some of the circumstances, and then asked: "Do you understand what I mean by saying all this?"

Zhang Sicheng said: "I understand, aren't you just trying to say that these investments didn't cost much money at all back then?"

Siyan also nodded along; she also understood Zhang Ran's meaning.

But who knew that Zhang Ran would proudly say: "No, you are both wrong. I am telling you how accurate my vision was back then!"

Looking at the somewhat stunned expressions of the two, Zhang Ran suddenly burst into laughter.

Well, he was indeed telling them exactly what Zhang Sicheng and the others had understood.

Don't look at these assets as such a huge figure of hundreds of billions of US dollars now, but back then, these were only about one hundred million US dollars or so.

It can be said that in thirty years, it has multiplied a thousand times.

This even includes the money from failed investments back then; it can be said that if one really calculates it, Zhang Ran is the true god of investment in this world.

There is no other way; with money and the knowledge of future trends, casting a wide net and catching many fish will certainly lead to success.

At that time, Zhang Ran was not short of money, and he also knew these future trends.

He only needed to invest the money.

Zhang Ran had already gradually risen back then, investing in some small companies, and most of them were just starting out—who would refuse that?

This is what created the current situation.

Zhang Sicheng and Siyan both stopped talking; they were in a state of stupor at this moment.

"In that case, Dad, you are already the world's richest person?" Zhang Sicheng suddenly said.

Siyan also looked at her father; it turned out that their family had long been the world's number one wealthiest family.

Zhang Ran was not particularly excited about this, and he nodded quite calmly: "If we calculate it based on the present, that is indeed the case."

Including some current assets, Zhang Ran's total assets have already broken the 200 billion US dollar mark and are marching toward the 300 billion US dollar mark, and he has taken a big step forward.

If you say this isn't the richest person, no one would believe it.

In fact, there is a reason why Zhang Ran is exposing all these things now.

First of all, his strength has reached the point where he can fully claim these assets; these assets add up to a lot, but when spread out, they won't cause too much trouble.

Just like the Weiteng Group, is a five percent stake a lot?

It is actually already a lot, but is it worth it to have a falling out with Zhang Ran or even become enemies over this five percent stake?

Most people do not think it is worth it.

This is one of the reasons why Zhang Ran exposed it, but it is not the main reason.

After all, this could also be done privately without needing to be so high-profile, although this will bring Zhang Ran some advantages on the surface, it is not enough to make him do this.

The main reason is to build momentum!

This is not building momentum for Zhang Ran, but building momentum for the country!

The world's richest person was produced in Huaxia, and he is a native-born Huaxia person; more importantly, Zhang Ran wants to keep all this wealth in Huaxia.

This will boost the confidence of many people.

Especially as many wealthy people have been transferring their assets in recent years, this is even more of a shot in the arm!

Even the world's richest person is willing to keep his assets in Huaxia, what are you afraid of with your little bit of money?

Especially since Zhang Ran is so high-profile, this will also add points to the country's image!

You must know that there are still quite a few countries in Europe and America that are smearing Huaxia's image; don't look at the fact that it is the twenty-first century now and information is so public, but many people actually still believe these things.

And Zhang Ran standing up now is for publicity.

This series of influences is one of the reasons that prompted Zhang Ran to do this.

These can also be considered one of the conditions of his conversation with Zhang Minister; the country has given such generous treatment, does Zhang Ran really not need to do anything?

That is obviously impossible.

However, Zhang Ran is quite willing to do so; being able to do something for the country, especially in a win-win situation, Zhang Ran is extremely happy.

"You two should also be careful in the next two years, and be cautious in your words and actions in everything you do, understand?" Zhang Ran exhorted.

Zhang Sicheng said: "Dad, I suddenly don't want to work hard anymore."

What is there to work hard for now?

Isn't it good to just honestly be a rich second generation?

With such huge wealth, it couldn't be spent in several lifetimes!

You must know that a few years ago, he was still worried about a few tens of thousands of yuan and working desperately for a monthly salary of ten thousand yuan.

Now he is told that he is the son of the world's richest person!

Siyan also said solemnly: "Dad, I don't want to work hard anymore either."

Zhang Ran looked at the two and said speechlessly: "Fine, fine, fine, do whatever you want, I can't be bothered to manage you."

He could see that it wasn't that Zhang Sicheng and his sister didn't want to work hard, but that they wanted to alleviate the shock they had received.

There was no other way; such a shock was truly too great, so great that they couldn't bear it at this moment.

The throne of the world's richest person hadn't changed for more than a decade; it had always been the same person.

And the wealth had a trend of getting larger and larger, which made many people stop thinking about it, but now they were suddenly told that their family had become the world's number one wealthiest family.

Such a shock was still very significant.

After a long time of calming down, Zhang Sicheng and his sister finally recovered a little and answered Zhang Ran's previous words.

"I know what to do; it's just that some things cannot be said casually," Zhang Sicheng said.

Zhang Ran nodded and said: "Especially regarding policy issues, no matter if you know or have any guesses, you cannot say them out, and even less can you let others know."

"Otherwise, it is very likely to stir up no small amount of trouble."

Zhang Sicheng seemed to understand a little and nodded, but he was still somewhat confused.

He still did not fully grasp the meaning of these words until one day, when he accidentally voiced his own opinion, favoring a certain company.

These words were inadvertently spread by someone, and the next day, that company's stock hit the daily limit, which finally made Zhang Sicheng understand the true meaning of Zhang Ran's words.

It was merely a single sentence from him, yet it had such power; if this were applied to other matters, the consequences would be more than he could bear.

Siyan did not understand either at this time, but compared to Sicheng, Siyan was actually more mature; she was fully capable of keeping her mouth shut, especially regarding matters she did not understand, and she never expressed an opinion.
