Zhang Ran hung up the phone with Prince Haiman. Just as he was about to start working, he heard someone visiting.
After asking He Yong to bring the person in, Zhang Ran looked at the person and said with some surprise: "Why are you here? Logically speaking, this matter should have nothing to do with you, right?"
Taylor said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Mr. Zhang's matter is my matter. I just came over to see if there is anyone here that I can help."
Taylor didn't regard himself as an outsider and poured himself water naturally.
Zhang Ran laughed and said: "Such nice words, don't you have some other purpose for coming here this time?"
"Haha, I can't hide it from Mr. Zhang. People from the Rhodes family came to me before and wanted me to be a peacemaker. They were willing to compensate. In my opinion, the conditions they stated were really sincere." Taylor shouted. He took a sip and said leisurely.
In fact, when the Rhodes family made the bid, Taylor really felt the Rhodes family's sincerity.
In other words, he can sense the fear of the Rhodes family.
If they were not afraid, how could they pay such a high price.
Taylor was really frightened at that time. This was almost 70% of the wealth accumulated by the Rhodes family over the years.
Such a big concession, in Taylor's opinion, is really sincere.
Of course, this is because Zhang Ran put too much pressure on the Rhodes family. This time Zhang Ran did not use any plan, let alone use various unexpected situations to deal with the Rhodes family.
It’s just pure overwhelming force!
Although the Rhodes family may not have expected that Zhang Ran would join forces with Ai Li, Zhang Ran did not hide this matter in the first place.
Especially now, Zhang Ran didn't even cover up.
What's more, Zhang Ran's actions during this period were very obvious, and everyone knew what he was doing at a glance.
But just like this, it made the Rhodes family breathless.
Let them lose any hope of winning.
In fact, this is normal, because Zhang Ran has been cutting off their tentacles from the beginning.
After a little accumulation, many things that the Rhodes family relied on before are no longer usable.
Zhang Ran can completely overwhelm others with his overwhelming force, leaving them with no chance to breathe.
Even their former partners were attracted by Zhang Ran, or the partners did not see the benefits and automatically stayed away from the Rhodes family.
Zhang Ran looked at Taylor and said with a smile: "So, you are here to be a lobbyist?"
Although Zhang Ran had a smile on his face, Taylor could feel that if he really said yes, then Zhang Ran would kick him out immediately.
So Taylor said simply: "Absolutely not."
"Oh? Then what are you here for?" Zhang Ran continued.
Taylor was slightly relieved. Zhang Ran's look just now really scared him. It wasn't that Taylor was timid, but that Zhang Ran had already achieved success.
Not to mention being alone, even with a few others, I feel like I am no match for Zhang Ran.
The scariest thing is Zhang Ran's other relationships.
Logically speaking, this is the United States and their home field. No matter what Zhang Ran does, he will be restrained.
But the actual situation was not what they imagined. It was obviously their home court, but they did not get the help they imagined.
Not to mention partners, there is no help from the government level, and it even seems to be adding insult to injury.
This really scares some people.
If we encountered similar things in the past, let alone some other partners, some partners would automatically join forces.
This can be regarded as an instinct.
And to be a little more serious, the government would directly take action and use administrative orders to make outsiders like Zhang Ran give in.
This kind of thing happened not once or twice.
In fact, the Rhodes family relied on this aspect in the past, because their family is not rootless, but has a deep foundation.
But in this situation, Zhang Ran not only did not face any restrictions from above, but also settled them all.
This was something that no one expected.
Taylor was thinking so much in his mind at this time, but he did not hesitate to say, "Of course I want to seek cooperation."
"Huh?" Zhang Ran was a little surprised.
Taylor said seriously: "Actually, I value an industry owned by the Rhodes family, which is a newspaper. I wanted to acquire it before, but was rejected. This time I just wanted to see if I could cooperate with Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Ran smiled, newspaper office? Is this guy's excuse so bad
"Tell me about it." Zhang Ran didn't have much expression on his face.
"It's like this. I can provide five billion US dollars as capital. This newspaper needs almost 100 million US dollars to acquire it. The remaining money can be temporarily lent to Mr. Zhang." Taylor also said simply.
Zhang Ran smiled and said: "Mr. Taylor is helping me."
Taylor said sternly: "This is mutual help. If there was no Mr. Zhang, then I would like to acquire this newspaper, but $100 million may not be enough, and the Rhodes family will not sell it.
But now that I am following Mr. Zhang, I will save a lot of trouble. This is a reasonable transaction. "
Seeing Taylor's righteous speech, Zhang Ran really wanted to laugh. These guys are really thick-skinned.
However, he did not refuse this, and this truth was clearly demonstrated here.
Everyone can see that the Rhodes family has run out of energy, and no one will support them at this time.
Maybe some people want to make a big difference with a small gain, thinking that if the Rhodes family wins at this time, then if the Rhodes family wins, or they don't have to win at all and only need to maintain a draw, then they can reap a hundred times the profit.
But in fact, very few people do this.
As the saying goes, there are few people who provide help in times of need, but there are many people who are the icing on the cake.
The icing on the cake is that although the profit is not much, the risk is also small.
When an enterprise and capital reach a certain level, what they pursue is no longer the best interest.
Although profit is still the eternal goal, at this time, they will put risk first, instead of taking huge risks for profit as before.
This is considered a primary and secondary exchange.
So now there are many people who want to be the icing on the cake for Zhang Ran, but there are very few people who want to help the Rhodes family.
That's what Taylor did at this point. He wasn't the first, and he won't be the last either.
Moreover, Taylor actually understood Zhang Ran better than anyone else, so he made a more decisive decision.
