Chapter 989: 984. The New World's Richest Person (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

For a long time, no one could snap out of it; perhaps everyone was silently calculating how much money these figures represented.

At this very moment, no one doubted what Zhang Ran had said earlier anymore.

If these things were all true, then everything Zhang Ran had said before must also be true, but in such a situation, with such a massive matter, how could Zhang Ran possibly lie?

Moreover, the bosses of these companies were right there in the audience; for instance, Ling Hua of Weiteng Group was present.

Since he had not said anything at this time, the matter must be true.

And if Zhang Ran had not lied, then Zhang Ran had truly surpassed Aili!

This news left many people feeling inexplicably shocked!

It is unknown how much time passed before everyone finally began to snap out of it, and the scene was about to descend into chaos again.

However, at this moment, Wang Ning did not give them that chance and said directly, "If you have any questions, you may raise your hand. If you disrupt the order of the venue, we will have to remove you."

At this point, no one wanted to be kicked out, so they quickly quieted down.

Yet, as everyone looked at Wang Ning now, their expressions were different; this person now held assets worth hundreds of billions of dollars in his hands.

Such a person could be said to have reached the pinnacle of the business world in an instant.

But no matter how shocked they were, it could not stop everyone's questions. As one question after another was raised, Wang Ning answered them selectively.

For some biased questions, Wang Ning simply did not answer.

Time passed just like that, and the sensation caused by Zhang Ran gradually subsided. Although everyone was still shocked in their hearts, they were finally able to barely accept it.

Furthermore, Zhang Ran was very cooperative; basically, as long as the questions did not involve anything aggressive, Zhang Ran and his team provided answers.

Finally, Zhang Ran answered a question from a CCTV reporter: "Mr. Zhang, what is your view on Huaxia's economy and its future?"

Zhang Ran said with a smile, "I have always been very optimistic about the Huaxia economy, and I have full confidence in our country."

After saying this, Zhang Ran looked at the camera and said with a serious expression, "There is one point I want to say to everyone very earnestly.

Some people have a very great prejudice against our country; this is wrong and also very shameful, especially since these people are fellow countrymen.

The reason our country has been able to rise again in such a short time is because of the country's support and its determination.

With this point, I don't know what everyone is still worried about?"

"We have an old saying in Huaxia: 'If you do no evil, you need not fear a knock at the door.'"

After saying this, Zhang Ran did not say anything more. In fact, there was much more he wanted to say; for example, he wanted to tell others that the reason the authorities supported him was not because they had reached some kind of deal with him.

It was because Zhang Ran truly thought this way and acted this way, which is why the authorities supported him.

It was not that the authorities supported him and then he acted this way; there was a sequence to these things, and if the order were reversed, the matter would lose its meaning.

But these words could not be said; saying them would only cause more people who did not know the truth to speculate.

However, Zhang Ran's final sentence did cause trouble for some people, as many wealthy individuals had previously transferred their assets.

When it was one or two, everyone didn't care, but once there were many, not only the wealthy in Huaxia but even some ordinary people started to let their imaginations run wild.

But now, this one sentence from Zhang Ran made these ordinary people stop thinking about other things; the fact was just as he said: if you do no evil, you need not fear a knock at the door.

If you are so afraid, it must be because you have done something evil.

Of course, Zhang Ran would certainly offend many people by doing this, but at this moment, Zhang Ran did not care about that.

Did they really dare to run up to Zhang Ran and clamor?

It would be considered Zhang Ran having a good temper if he didn't beat the shit out of them.

Now, when these people see Zhang Ran, they can only be respectful. Don't think that all of Zhang Ran's foundations are in Huaxia; Zhang Ran's strength abroad is also not to be underestimated.

If they thought they could ignore Zhang Ran by transferring their assets abroad, then they were overthinking it.

Some of Zhang Ran's assets had not yet been incorporated into the Zhang Family Holding Company, which was due to various reasons.

The main one was that there were some other restrictions, and it would take some time to complete.

It was not like domestically, where with the support of the authorities, things became much easier to handle.

That same evening, a series of reports had already spread, with all kinds of news appearing.

At first, everyone was not yet stunned, but when the Forbes Ranking released the rich list again, many people fell into shock.

Although it seemed that super-rich people like Zhang Ran were very far away from ordinary people and basically had no connection to them.

But Zhang Ran was a Huaxia person, and he was someone who had surpassed Aili in wealth; such a situation could immediately ignite the pride of the countrymen!

And it wasn't just surpassing him by a little bit, but directly surpassing him by fifty billion dollars!

In an instant, he pulled Aili down quite a bit.

Some people still didn't quite believe it, but soon, someone brought over news from the United States.

This was news of an interview with Aili.

After all, Zhang Ran had caused such a big stir, and everyone hoped to know Aili's thoughts and wanted to hear what he had to say.

Aili's statement was very simple: he congratulated Zhang Ran and also indicated that he had no objections.

In other words, Aili did not have the slightest doubt about this rich list!

Aili's personal admission was actually more convincing than the Forbes Ranking itself; this was the prestige of having occupied the position of the world's richest person for so many years.

In an instant, no more voices of doubt appeared; everyone knew that Zhang Ran had now become the new richest person in the world.

And it looked like, for a short time, no one would be able to surpass him.

For a time, both domestically and abroad, it was basically all news about Zhang Ran. The next day, Zhang Ran even specifically appeared on a CCTV interview program.

This time, it truly pushed Zhang Ran's reputation to its absolute peak.

However, Zhang Ran was not too concerned about these matters at this moment; he still had many things to deal with.

And he also needed to take advantage of this period, especially when his prestige was so high, to do some things; at this time, the resistance to doing things would be very small.

This was the value brought by fame.

But before that, Zhang Ran needed to handle the company's affairs well; for this reason, Zhang Ran even specifically had Yin Long temporarily transferred over.

There was no help for it; there wasn't enough manpower, but once everything was on the right track, there would be no need to be so busy.

At this moment, Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan were both exposed; the status of being the son and daughter of the world's richest person made countless people feel nothing but envy.

At the same time, quite a few people began digging into their pasts, and the two of them instantly became celebrities.
