Taylor looked at Zhang Ran. What he actually wanted most was Zhang Ran's friendship. In this regard, Zhang Ran's credibility was impeccable.
Zhang Ran didn't think for too long and quickly responded, "Thank you very much. Happy cooperation."
A smile suddenly appeared on Taylor's face after hearing this, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
After discussing cooperation, it became less formal and everyone talked about other things together.
Taylor didn't ask much about Zhang Ran's plan, but just stated that his funds would be in place within a week.
Zhang Ran just said thank you.
"By the way, Zhang Ran, are you and Prince Heyman planning to buy an island?" Taylor lay lazily on the sofa, not at all as energetic as before.
This guy is very dedicated when working, otherwise he would not have developed the company so much.
But privately, Taylor is a pure playboy who likes to do whatever he wants in many things.
Just like now, whoever looks at this guy doesn't think he is a boss worth tens of billions.
Zhang Ran smiled and said: "What? Are you interested too?"
"Of course, I only found out about this when I called Prince Heyman yesterday. If possible, I will buy an island not far from you and we can all be neighbors together." Taylor stood up, although He still spoke very casually, but it was obvious that he took this matter quite seriously.
Zhang Ran thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter. If you are willing, then buy it. Anyway, the money is just small money for you."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Ran thought of the five billion US dollars he had just given, which was a huge sum for Taylor.
Now Taylor's net worth is only about 10 billion US dollars, which is certainly a lot, but comparatively speaking, it's not that much.
This is equivalent to giving out half of his net worth, and it's still in cash. Taylor must have paid more than that.
Zhang Ran didn't ask much before. After all, he hadn't agreed yet, so he asked at this time: "By the way, what do you think of these five billion US dollars?"
This is considered an exchange between friends.
Taylor said proudly: "I mortgaged my shares and some of the company's assets. It's not easy to come up with the five billion US dollars."
Zhang Ran was speechless and said: "Aren't you afraid that the money won't come out after you throw it in? What if I fail?"
"Hey, don't say such unfavorable words, I trust you very much." Taylor looked more confident than Zhang Ran.
But then he said: "Actually, it doesn't matter even if you fail. After all, I just lent it to you. In your situation, it is very simple to pay it back.
At that time, I only need to show the contract between us to the bank. Even if it expires, the bank will not call for debts.
Because they know that you have such ability, no matter what your results are this time. "
Taylor smiled more and more proudly, because this was a business that only made money but did not lose money. After all, it was the icing on the cake.
Zhang Ran is not fighting with his own capital. Unlike the Rhodes family, if they lose, they really have nothing.
Zhang Ran can afford to lose now. Losing once or twice will not shake his foundation, because Zhang Ran's foundation is not here at all.
"So, the conditions I gave you are still too good." Zhang Ran said with a half-smile.
"Hey, a gentleman's words are hard to follow, so you can't go back on your word." Taylor said leisurely, without looking anxious at all.
Because he knew that Zhang Ran would not regret this matter.
Zhang Ran also laughed a little at this. It seemed that he had been figured out by this guy.
While the two were chatting, someone came to the door again, with the same purpose as Taylor.
This time Zhang Ran didn't let Taylor avoid him and met him together.
After seeing Taylor, this person's eyes also flickered. He didn't expect that there was someone earlier than him, but it can also be seen that everyone's confidence in Zhang Ran is far stronger than their confidence in the Rhodes family.
"Hemlock Capital?" Zhang Ran looked at the visitor with some confusion.
Hemlock Capital is not Taylor. No matter what choice they make, even Zhang Ran’s big move this time will have no impact on them.
Even if there is some impact, given their huge size, they will recover quickly.
Zhang Ran didn't expect people from Hemlock Capital to come.
"Mr. Zhang, excuse me." Wang Yiming said with a smile.
Zhang Ran motioned for him to sit down first, and then said: "I wonder what Hemlock Capital wants to do when you find me now?"
Zhang Ran asked very directly. At this point, there was no need to say anything else.
"That's it. The Rhodes family asked us to make some adjustments." Wang Yiming also said directly.
Zhang Ran didn't speak, just looked at Wang Yiming quietly.
As for Taylor, he still looked lazy at this time, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Although Zhang Ran didn't speak, when Wang Yiming said these words, his eyes had changed.
Wang Yiming didn't know why, but he was a little nervous when Zhang Ran saw him, but he recovered quickly.
But at this time, he understood that reconciliation was absolutely impossible.
In fact, before coming, Hemlock Capital made the decision that it would be best if Zhang Ran had the will in this regard, and they were willing to mediate.
But now looking at Zhang Ran's appearance, I knew it was impossible.
So Wang Yiming said simply: "Of course, we know that Mr. Zhang is unwilling to do this, so we at Hemlock Capital are willing to provide some help."
This is exactly the same as what Taylor said just now, and there is basically no difference.
From here we can also see the profit-seeking nature of capital.
When there is no result on one side, they will immediately turn around and work in the direction that is most beneficial to them.
Taylor's mouth twitched involuntarily when he heard Wang Yiming's words.
Then he saw the way Zhang Ran glanced at him, and he could only pretend that he couldn't see it. They were still thinking about him.
Zhang Ran smiled and said: "I wonder how your group wants to cooperate?"
Of course Zhang Ran would not refuse such cooperation, which was a good thing for him.
From the fact that the Rhodes family is now asking for help from people everywhere to help reconcile, it can be seen that they are already at the end of their rope.
Although it is possible that it is a mystery, the possibility is very small. If I have no confidence myself, how can I still bring confidence to others
Just like Taylor and Hemlock Capital, they immediately changed their goals after seeing Zhang Ran's resolute attitude, so the Rhodes family must be a little out of their depth.
