Chapter 99: 98. Training Plan (Seeking Collections, Seeking Recommendation Votes!)

Zhang Ran found Meng Mingxuan here; there were still a few final things that needed to be settled regarding this matter.

"Zhang Shu, it's just about ready. We can officially sign the contract the day after tomorrow." Although Meng Mingxuan's face looked exhausted, his spirit was truly very excited.

He had already gained a sense of accomplishment from these business activities.

For these second-generation wealthy kids, a sense of accomplishment was something that could stimulate them even more than money.

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Alright, everything can proceed according to your plan. By the way, how much money do you have left now?"

Hearing Zhang Ran ask this, Meng Mingxuan suddenly became a bit guarded. "Shu, I only have this much left now. You aren't planning on not even leaving me this little bit of money, are you?"

Zhang Ran glanced at him and said irritably, "Forget it if you don't want to say. I was even thinking of giving you some benefits."

"Don't do that, Shu, I was wrong. I still have over three million left." As he spoke, Meng Mingxuan chuckled. "And, uh, if you add in this time's, it should be five million."

What Meng Mingxuan was talking about was the matter he had previously agreed upon with Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran said irritably, "I won't forget."

"This time, I'm giving you a chance to choose."

"What chance?" Meng Mingxuan asked curiously.

"You put up five million, and the company will give you five percent of the shares," Zhang Ran said.

If others heard this, they would think Zhang Ran was scamming Meng Mingxuan. After all, the acquisition price for the entire company was only thirty million; based on that, four million could get you over ten percent of the shares, so Zhang Ran only giving five percent was quite a large gap.

Of course, Zhang Ran would not scam Meng Mingxuan. The company was indeed only worth thirty million before, but once Zhang Sicheng got that game proposal, the value was far more than thirty million.

And the reason Zhang Ran gave Meng Mingxuan shares was partly because Zhang Sicheng still needed to use Meng Mingxuan to connect with people like Ning Qing.

The future development of the game company would also be inseparable from the help of people like Ning Qing; the role they could play actually exceeded their own imaginations.

Although Meng Mingxuan didn't understand the logic behind this, he didn't think Zhang Ran was scamming him out of money.

Meng Mingxuan said with a bitter face, "My dearest Zhang Shu, I finally managed to save up four million, and I was hoping to take the opportunity to live it up a bit. Now you're going to turn me into a pauper again."

Zhang Ran said, "If you aren't willing, then forget it. Anyway, this is your reward for this time."

What could Meng Mingxuan do?

Of course, he chose to agree. He could feel that his Zhang Shu was very optimistic about this game company.

Although he didn't know if he should trust Zhang Ran, his heart had vaguely given him the answer.

Having settled this matter, Meng Mingxuan seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said, "By the way, Zhang Shu, Wang Tao is still at the company. Do you want to meet him?"

He had just been negotiating with Wang Tao's team, and they hadn't left yet.

Zhang Ran thought for a moment and said, "Let's meet. It just so happens I have some things I want to chat with him about."

He had originally thought about chatting with this Wang Tao on the day of the signing, but since there was an opportunity now, there was no need to wait until then.

Very quickly, Wang Tao was brought in by Meng Mingxuan.

Zhang Ran carefully sized up Wang Tao. This boss of his son looked very young, at most just over thirty. He was very spirited in a crisp suit and wore a pair of glasses, looking quite refined.

Wang Tao was also carefully sizing up Zhang Ran. Just a moment ago, he had learned that Meng Mingxuan was not the boss behind this acquisition, but that it was someone else.

However, the moment he saw Zhang Ran, he felt a bit familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"Hello, may I ask if we have met somewhere before?" Wang Tao said first, which could be considered a way to bridge the distance.

Zhang Ran smiled, stood up, and shook his hand, saying, "Hello, President Wang. Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang Ran, and I am Zhang Sicheng's biological father."

He also knew that his current appearance was a bit too young, so he would add this sentence whenever he introduced himself.

Wang Tao didn't react at first, but very quickly, he opened his mouth in surprise.

Of course he knew Zhang Sicheng; he was an old employee of their company. Although his ability wasn't the best, his work attitude was very serious and steady.

Back when their company hadn't developed yet, Zhang Sicheng had already been following him. Over these many years, although he hadn't promoted Zhang Sicheng to a key position, he hadn't forgotten him either.

When he was brought over by Meng Mingxuan, he was still wondering who had acquired his company. Wang Tao never expected that it would be the father of one of his employees.

And in his impression, Zhang Sicheng was not a wealthy person.

"Hello," Wang Tao said subconsciously; he hadn't come back to his senses yet.

Zhang Ran didn't urge him and just waited for him quietly. After a good while, Wang Tao finally sobered up.

"Some things happened over these years, and I only recently returned to reunite with my family," Zhang Ran explained briefly.

Although Wang Tao had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask.

"May I ask what the purpose of your acquisition this time is..." This was what Wang Tao wanted to ask.

Zhang Ran said, "Sicheng likes the gaming industry very much, so I wanted to acquire a company first to let him test the waters and get some training."

Wang Tao suddenly didn't want to talk anymore. He shouldn't have asked this question just now.

Back in the day, in order to expand the scale of the company, he worked, drank, and socialized day and night.

He had even drunk until he had a stomach hemorrhage while accompanying clients.

But now?

Someone just acquired their company to give his son some training.

"Do you mean that Zhang Sicheng will be my boss from now on?" Although he felt a bit awkward inside, Wang Tao still asked.

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Yes."

Wang Tao was silent for a moment. He suddenly felt a bit reluctant now. If it were anything else, it would be fine, but now his own subordinate had suddenly become his boss, which was something he couldn't accept for a moment.

Zhang Ran also understood his feelings and said with a smile, "President Wang, you should also know that Sicheng has been working at the grassroots level for many years, so he lacks some insight and management ability. Therefore, I hope someone can help him gain a foothold in this industry and be able to teach him hand-in-hand how to be a boss.

Of course, President Wang, please rest assured. After one year, if President Wang wants to rest, I will not stop you, and there will be no conditions."

"What do you need me to do?" Wang Tao asked after a moment of silence.

Zhang Ran said, "In daily life, there is no need for President Wang to correct some of Sicheng's mistakes. For small mistakes, you can completely wait until he has made the mistake and knows where he went wrong before slowly telling him. This way, he can have a profound realization.

President Wang only needs to teach him slowly in daily life and give him some opinions and suggestions on major matters. As for the final result, it depends on his own choices."

This was the purpose of Zhang Ran finding Wang Tao today. If Zhang Sicheng wants to grow quickly, he must experience some setbacks and accumulate his own experience.

He only needs Wang Tao to give him some correct guidance when Zhang Sicheng makes a mistake and teach him some business thinking; that will be enough.
