The e-commerce war is in full swing, with big news happening every day. At the same time, some small online shopping platforms are also unable to sustain themselves.
Some have already begun to enter the stage of bankruptcy, losing customers every moment, so how can they survive.
Now not only insiders, but also outsiders and ordinary people can see clearly that this time Fengli Group will not be willing to win the first place.
But Zhang Ran, who was supposed to be at the center of the whirlpool, seemed extremely leisurely at this time. He was still doing the same thing every day, picking up his children, drinking tea, chatting, and playing chess with some old men from time to time.
On this day, two foreigners came to the community where Zhang Ran lived. When they found Zhang Ran, they both looked stupid.
"Hank, is this really the legendary Mr. Zhang?" William felt as if he had been tricked.
Hank also looked blankly at Zhang Ran, who was having a heated argument with the old man, his face a little broken, and he also felt that he had found the wrong person.
But the news I got is here, and the appearance is exactly the same.
"That should be right, right?" Hank said hesitantly.
At this moment, they suddenly felt a cold feeling behind their backs. They turned their heads subconsciously and found a person standing behind them unknowingly, looking at them dangerously.
"Who are you? Who are you here for?" He Yong said coldly.
Hank trembled and said quickly: "Hello, we are the staff of Forbes. We are here just to visit Mr. Zhang Ran."
Hank speaks Chinese very fluently, at least He Yong can understand it, which is one of the reasons why Forbes sent him here.
He Yong carefully looked at the two of them, as if to determine whether they were a threat.
Hank and William quickly showed their work IDs to He Yong. They knew that none of these rich people were easy to mess with. They were not stupid, so how could they offend people casually.
He Yong took a look and said, "You guys wait here."
After finishing speaking, he quietly walked to Zhang Ran and whispered the situation. Zhang Ran looked at Hank and the two of them unexpectedly, then turned his head and continued playing chess.
"Wait a moment, wait until our boss finishes playing chess." He Yong said.
"It should be." Hank said immediately.
At the same time, they were also sure that they had not mistaken the person. This person was really the legendary Mr. Zhang.
This person who was supposed to be the leader of this e-commerce war is now so leisurely, completely different from what they imagined.
After waiting for almost an hour, Hank and the two felt that their legs were a little sore from standing. They originally wanted to find a place to rest, but there was He Yong beside them who kept looking at them coldly. This idea came to their mind unconsciously. Dismissed.
Zhang Ran came over after playing chess. Hank immediately stepped forward and introduced himself: "Hello Mr. Zhang, I am Hank from Forbes. Nice to meet you."
Zhang Ran shook hands with him and said, "Let's go to my house and talk about it."
Zhang Ran also guessed the purpose of their coming, or it would be a matter of time.
Now everyone on the Internet knows Zhang Ran's family, and they also know Zhang Ran. If his name Zhang Ran is not on the rich list published by Forbes at this time, Forbes' credibility will definitely drop a lot.
This was something Forbes didn't want to see, and when they wanted to investigate Zhang Ran's assets, they encountered a lot of resistance.
They had no choice but to find Zhang Ran in person. Of course, even if the investigation was clear, they would still have some contact with Zhang Ran.
When they arrived in the courtyard, Zhang Ran poured tea for the two of them and asked directly: "What are you doing here this time?"
Hank immediately sat up straight and said: "Mr. Zhang, we at Forbes are about to release a new rich list, so I am here to ask for your opinion. Can you please help me?"
Hank is very good at talking, and he also has a good understanding of some Chinese culture.
"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, we will never release anything that shouldn't be released." Hank added quickly.
Zhang Ran took a sip of tea and said, "You want to investigate my property?"
"Mr. Zhang, it's not an investigation. We don't have the right. We just want to find out." Hank said quickly.
Zhang Ran smiled and said: "Understood? Don't you know enough now?"
Hank smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Zhang, when we learned about your industry, we encountered some obstacles, so we don't know much."
He also told the truth. This is also his experience after dealing with so many rich people.
He would never be able to play tricks with these rich people. Instead, it would be better to just say something.
Zhang Ran thought for a moment, and he knew that he could not keep hiding behind the scenes. If the incident with the Goddess of Destiny had not happened, it would still be possible, but now that the matter is so big, he wants to keep hiding it, unless the whole world Everyone is treated as a fool.
So exposure is necessary, but he doesn't want to expose everything. Selective exposure is still necessary.
"Well, let's get to know Mackay Supermarket, Fengli Group, Dahe Group, and Yaotian Pharmaceutical." Zhang Ran thought for a while and said.
These have all been exposed and everyone can guess them. There is no point in hiding them.
As for Kang Shilan
Zhang Ran is not going to talk about this.
But Hank doesn't want to just let it go. He actually knows more, such as Kang Shilan, and Galaxy Capital
"Mr. Zhang, as far as I know, Kang Shilan and Galaxy Capital also have some relationship with you?" Hank asked carefully.
As soon as he said this, Zhang Ran looked at him calmly, "What do you want to say? Or what do you want to send out?"
"Ahem, what's that? Mr. Zhang, you misunderstood. I had a headache just now. I'm sorry." Hank gave in decisively.
With Zhang Ran's previous reply, he was already satisfied. At least he wouldn't get nothing, but Chinese people just like to hide their wealth, Hank murmured in his heart.
"Okay, you go over there and find out more, I won't let you eat." Zhang Ran was about to start driving people away.
But Hank and the others came not only for this matter, but also for something else that someone asked them to take a message with.
"That Mr. Zhang, Hemlock Capital, Legg Mason... they want to meet with you, Mr. Zhang, what do you think?" Hank said quickly.
This time he was just a messenger, and people knew that he was coming to visit Zhang Ran. In other words, this was the main purpose.
Now Zhang Ran's actions are too big, and these capitals can't sit still. They want to talk to Zhang Ran to see if they can conduct some exchange of interests, and then avoid such a big struggle, because in this way, some losses will be Big.
