Chapter 978: 973. Final Preparations (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Zhang Ran spoke a great deal with Zhang Sicheng and his sister that day, which could be considered as having told them almost everything about their family.

It was not that Zhang Ran had intentionally hidden some things from them before, but rather that there was no need to say them; knowing would not have brought Zhang Sicheng and his sister much benefit.

Not to mention what Zhang Sicheng and his sister might have become if they had suddenly known their family had so much money.

Even if they knew their family was actually the world's number one wealthiest family, would they still have worked so hard to improve themselves?

Zhang Ran did not mind them becoming carefree rich kids, but if possible, Zhang Ran still hoped they could truly take over such vast wealth.

Never mind Huaxia, even in the whole world, isn't the wealth built up by the older generation meant to be passed down to the descendants?

Zhang Ran was, of course, no exception, so if Zhang Sicheng and his sister could have the ability and level to truly take over so much wealth, that would be the best result.

Telling Zhang Sicheng so much now would only apply some corresponding pressure on them, allowing them to work even harder to improve themselves.

After all, so much wealth would all have to be handed over to them to manage in the future; if they could not manage it well, the loss would be too great.

In the time that followed, Zhang Ran began sending official letters to various companies, and there were also companies that had undergone relatively large changes that Zhang Ran needed to resolve.

However, regarding this matter, the authorities also provided great support.

As long as Zhang Ran could produce absolute evidence and had sufficient reasons, then special matters would be handled with special procedures.

This instantly crushed those who were not so firm in their resolve, and no one was willing to offend Zhang Ran at this time.

That would be completely asking for trouble.

Although some losses were incurred, in reality, if operated well, it could be earned back entirely.

For example, on the side of Weiteng Group, after making their choice, they leaked the news at the first opportunity.

Of course, they did not directly tell everyone the truth.

Instead, they downplayed the situation by saying that Zhang Ran held shares in their company; what did this prove?

It naturally proved that Zhang Ran was optimistic about their group.

Coupled with Zhang Ran's fame and prestige in recent years, Weiteng's stock surged directly for a time, making back the five percent of shares from before.

There were others who followed suit, and for a time, the entire business world was in an uproar.

However, the subsequent effects were not as good, and quite a few people discovered something was wrong, or rather, as long as they weren't fools, they could all discover something was wrong.

But they did not lose out either.

After all, the industries Zhang Ran chose back then, being able to survive until now, could be said to be excellent industries.

Investing in stocks in these, as long as there were no major changes, it was impossible to lose money; it was just that they might have to hold them for a period of time.

Zhang Ran watched the goose-feather snow, feeling a bit dazed for a moment.

"This seems to be the first snow of the year," Zhang Ran suddenly said.

Huo Zhiyuan on the side was a bit confused, "It is indeed the first snow, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just a bit distracted," Zhang Ran shook his head and said.

This year passed just like that; recently, because of Zhang Ran, the entire Huaxia business world had been very lively.

In fact, it was not just the Huaxia business world; other countries were the same.

To say nothing else, even in Russia, Zhang Ran had brought about some influence, only it was not as large.

And because of Zhang Ran, many of the Group Companies under Zhang Ran had extended their reach over there.

Plus, with people supporting them, their development was not bad.

"The Zhang Family Holding Company has been established; when do you plan to announce it to the public?" Huo Zhiyuan asked.

The Zhang Family Holding Company had applied for establishment just yesterday, with a registered capital of one hundred billion; this counted as Zhang Ran's sincerity.

Of course, this had not been paid in.

However, with such a large registered capital, it already showed Zhang Ran's determination.

It was just that it had not been announced to the public yet, nor had the Group Companies been integrated.

Zhang Ran looked at the goose-feather snow and said, "Let's start after the New Year. I'm also a bit tired. In this year's time, once I resolve all of this, I can rest."

Zhang Ran had set a one-year time limit for himself, which was actually about right; in Zhang Ran's plan, it was already enough.

"Do you mean you're thinking of retiring this year?" Huo Zhiyuan asked curiously.

Zhang Ran laughed, "Retire? How could it be that simple? It's just that I won't be this busy anymore. By then, I'll just manage the Zhang Family Holding Company well.

Once someone grows up, I can also take the opportunity to hand over the reins; only then will I truly be able to relax."

"However, starting from next year, I probably won't be running around like this every day anymore."

Ever since he returned, he really hadn't had a proper rest.

Even when it seemed like he was resting, Zhang Ran's mind was actually always calculating some things.

After all, there were so many things, and there was too much he had to take back.

"By the way, where is Haiman now? Should be arriving soon, right?" Zhang Ran remembered something and asked.

Huo Zhiyuan nodded and said, "I just spoke with Lin Mei on the phone; they are about an hour away."

"Then let's set off now to pick them up; let's not leave them hanging there," Zhang Ran laughed.

This year, Prince Haiman was still bringing his family over for the New Year; this had already become a habit for their family.

Taking the two little ones, Zhang Ran and Huo Zhiyuan arrived at the airport; as for Zhang Sicheng and his sister, they were still busy.

Liu Lu had finished handling the company's affairs a few days ago, but that was also because Tang Jing, the Manager, was capable, so she didn't need to worry about much at all.

It is worth mentioning that ever since Liu Lu expressed her intention to expand, Tang Jing had become a completely different person.

If one could say she was serious about her work before, then now she had great enthusiasm—no, it should be said she was working with passion.

The difference in state was too great.

Originally, Liu Lu thought she would definitely be busy from now on, but the actual situation was the opposite; she was actually more relaxed.

Now she only needed to make decisions on major matters; she didn't need to do much for the rest of the small things.

She also didn't need to worry about Tang Jing doing anything underhanded; now she would also periodically check the work, and this had been notified to Tang Jing as well.

Tang Jing had not the slightest objection; on the contrary, she was very willing.

Because Tang Jing knew that it was precisely because of this that she could obtain such great power; if she were to have any dissatisfaction regarding this, then Liu Lu would certainly take that power back.

If you cannot even make me feel at ease, how could I possibly still give you so much power?

Isn't that impossible just to think about?

Therefore, Liu Lu was now feeling quite relaxed.

Liu Lu was currently at home preparing dinner; this meal today was no worse than a real New Year's Eve dinner, and what she prepared was truly sumptuous.
