Chapter 981: 976. It Is Time to Hang the Sign (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

As for how much benefit Zhang Ran could obtain from this, everyone was not particularly concerned.

Everyone understood that Zhang Ran would certainly gain huge benefits from it, but this was also what Zhang Ran deserved.

And as long as Zhang Ran did not engage in monopolistic operations, then no one would have other thoughts about him.

Zhang Ran understood even more clearly that monopolizing an industry might look wonderful, but the pressure one needed to bear was incomparably huge.

Let alone Huaxia, even if placed in other countries, it would be met with hostility from the national level and everyone in that industry.

Zhang Ran would rather not do such things.

And the most important reason was that Zhang Ran did not want to become a sinner who hindered industry development and social progress!

Perhaps this was also the reason why Zhang Ran could reach this step, and even more so the reason why the higher-ups would support him so much.

Everyone had seen everything Zhang Ran had done over these years with their own eyes.

However, Zhang Ran also needed to bear some risks; in doing these things, he would certainly offend quite a few people.

After all, blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents.

What Zhang Ran was doing was not just as simple as blocking someone's path to wealth.

However, Zhang Ran was not afraid of them; not to mention that with Zhang Ran's current status and strength, he simply wouldn't care about these people, even if their strength were formidable, Zhang Ran had the higher-ups backing him.

But by doing this, Zhang Ran was actually equivalent to cutting off the future official careers of their Zhang Family descendants.

No matter when, as long as the Zhang Family had not completely fallen, then members of the Zhang Family could not pursue official careers.

It could be considered a trade-off.

On March 24th, a month had passed since the Spring Festival, and both children had gone to school.

Zhang Ran officially convened a Group Company meeting.

The Zhang Family Mansion in Shanghai; though called a mansion, it was actually an old building, but this old building was not something an ordinary person could obtain.

Although it only had eight floors, it was previously a non-sale item and had long been taken back by the state.

However, now that Zhang Ran was preparing to officially land the Zhang Family Holding Company in Shanghai, this place was given to Zhang Ran at a half-sold, half-gifted price at the first opportunity.

There were also some preferential policies, but most of the preferential policies were rejected by Zhang Ran.

Although these were a large sum of money, Zhang Ran was not short of this bit of money now, so there was no need to take advantage of these small benefits.

Starting from yesterday, the Zhang Family Holding Company had just hung up its sign, and it hadn't caused much of a stir; it was very low-key.

It was so low-key that the government here in Shanghai was a bit helpless; originally, they had been prepared to create a bit of a stir when the time came, and at the same time, stand on stage for Zhang Ran.

But seeing Zhang Ran being so low-key, they had no way to create a stir even if they wanted to.

However, they also understood Zhang Ran's intentions; stand on stage?

According to Zhang Ran's current status and strength, it was simply not needed.

Likewise, Zhang Ran did not need to cause much of a stir here, because it wouldn't be long before this place would become the target of global attention.

On this day, Zhao Lifeng, Feng Hui, Huang Lin, Meng He, and others all walked into the conference room with solemn expressions.

At this moment, they also had a feeling of being about to participate in a major event, and they all had an indescribable feeling.

Excited? A little.

Happy? Hard to say.

Looking forward to it? A little bit, perhaps.

In any case, everyone's thoughts were quite complex, but everyone also understood that starting from today, the world's rich list was going to change, especially those names that hadn't changed for over twenty years!

And they were also participants in it!

This perhaps also carried some feelings of pride.

Just like Meng He, at this moment his expression was excited, forming a sharp contrast with many others.

The pride on his face was not hidden at all!

He was truly proud, because if it weren't for Zhang Ran, let alone being able to participate in such a major event, even living would have been somewhat difficult for him in the past.

But now it was different; now he was actually able to participate in such a scene, and he even had a hand in it, so how could he not be proud?

Some of the high-level executives of these Group Companies also came along, and some people couldn't help but feel nervous.

Just like the few people from the Blizzard Game Company, seeing this scene at this moment, they were all inexplicably shocked.

As for the Blizzard Game Company, Zhang Ran didn't even go there; he just let Sicheng handle it himself.

And Sicheng was also the true controller of the Blizzard Company, holding over ninety percent of the shares.

But that was in the past; now Sicheng only held over thirty percent of the Blizzard Game Company's shares, of which fifty-one percent had been bought by the Zhang Family Holding Company.

Even if Sicheng was Zhang Ran's son, all of this required payment.

The people from the Blizzard Game Company were all a bit confused at first; they didn't know what exactly had happened.

Because Sicheng only told them that from now on, the Blizzard Company would become a subsidiary under the Zhang Family Holding Company.

And as for this Zhang Family Holding Company, everyone hadn't even heard of it before and thought it was something Sicheng had come up with.

But now they knew it wasn't what they had thought.

Sicheng did not have such great ability to gather these big shots together, including industry tycoons, top-three retail groups, and internet tycoons.

These were people they couldn't even see if they wanted to in the past, but now they were indeed gathered here in a crowd.

And their expressions were one more solemn than the next, as if they were here to participate in some major event.

Wu Ying, as Sicheng's apprentice, had also been promoted all the way up at the Blizzard Company and had now reached the position of Manager of the Game Planning Department, counting as one of the few high-level executives.

At this moment, he was a bit confused.

Actually, before this, he had also asked his master, but he didn't get a precise answer; he was only told that he would know when the time came.

It wasn't that Sicheng was deliberately hiding it, it was just that some things were hard to explain in too much detail.

Rather than wasting time explaining, it was better to let them find out for themselves when the time came; after all, their company had absolutely no right to speak at this meeting and could only watch from the sidelines.

Wu Ying had originally not been very optimistic about Sicheng's decision; after all, the company's control was handed over just like that, so what would happen to them?

And what exactly is going on with this Zhang Family Holding Company?

They still do not know to this day.

But now, Wu Ying no longer has such thoughts, because the people he sees right now leave him so shocked that he does not know what to say.

Now, Wu Ying has only one thought in his heart, and that is that something big is about to happen!

This thought is not only held by Wu Ying, but also by some others; everyone arrived in a large conference room, found their seats, and sat down, each of them sitting up straight, not daring to relax in the slightest.
