Zhang Ran rested all afternoon and went to meet someone that evening. Only He Yong and He Qing followed him.
As soon as Zhang Ran and the others arrived, they saw people already greeting them at the door.
"Harish, long time no see." Zhang Ran looked at the old black man in front of him, smiled and opened his arms.
Harish was also happy and hugged Zhang Ran.
"You're such a lucky guy, I didn't expect you to still be alive." Harish said with emotion.
Zhang Ran smiled and said: "You will die early if you are not lucky."
Harish is the former CEO of the Development Bank of South Africa and has a very good relationship with Zhang Ran. It can be said that he was able to sit in such a position because of Zhang Ran's efforts.
So Harish has always owed Zhang Ran a big favor, and today Zhang Ran is here to ask for the favor.
And Harish coming out to greet Zhang Ran also meant that he was willing to return the favor.
The two sighed with each other and Harish invited them inside.
As soon as I entered, I saw a group of servants starting to serve food. They were all Chinese dishes, obviously specially prepared for Zhang Ran.
"You old guy really knows how to enjoy it, it's so corrupt." Zhang Ran said with emotion as he looked at the busy servants.
Harish laughed and said, "If you like it, I'll give you some."
Zhang Ran shook his head and said: "Forget it, I can't enjoy these things."
It took so much work to even eat, so Zhang Ran didn't bother to make such a fuss. He was not the type to enjoy such things.
Harish also knew Zhang Ran, so he only said a little bit about it.
"I specially asked the Chinese chef to make these. How do you like them?" Harish said with a smile.
Zhang Ran motioned to He Qing to sit down and eat together. As for He Yong, he didn't know how to eat.
"It tastes good, very authentic." Zhang Ran said after taking a sip.
"Just get used to eating," Harish said.
The two of them were not in a hurry to talk about business, and chatted about each other's changes in recent years while eating.
"Why did you retire so early? I originally thought you would not retire until at least 15 years later. Now you are only 68 years old, right?" Zhang Ran asked with a smile.
Harish retired as early as 2000, fifteen years earlier than Zhang Ran expected. A lot of things must have happened.
Harish was a little silent, and then said helplessly: "Don't you Chinese have always said that he who knows the current affairs is a hero?"
The last sentence was said in Chinese, but it was said awkwardly, but it was obvious that he understood its meaning.
There was no need for Zhang Ran to ask, Harish continued: "You were my biggest supporter back then, but you disappeared and I couldn't keep your things, so I had no choice but to retire.
Fortunately, I also made a wise choice, and my dividends have never been less than mine over the years. "
Harish chose to voluntarily leave his job and retire because his biggest supporter disappeared. At the same time, after ten years, he was completely unable to protect Zhang Ran's original things.
Originally, Zhang Ran's things were very complicated, with countless interests mixed in them, and they were not just Zhang Ran's things.
Ten years is enough time for other forces to divide and digest these things.
Although Harish had been trying to find new supporters during that time, it was obvious that the effect was not very obvious.
In the end, Harish also made the most correct choice, voluntarily resigning and retiring, preserving his own dividend rights.
Although it wasn't much, it was enough for him to spend a lifetime.
This dividend right lasts until the moment of his death and will not be inherited.
This is why Harish is still able to enjoy such a wonderful life.
Zhang Ran was not surprised at all. Those things and shares he owned back then were not all his own, but a consortium of interests.
Among them is the Rhodes family. He has disappeared for twenty-eight years. It is normal for them to be without him.
After all, he didn't even have an heir at the time.
To be honest, Harish was a little surprised that he could persist for ten years.
Zhang Ran smiled and said: "I don't mean to blame you, you have done a good job."
There was no burden in Harish's heart. He thought that he had done nothing wrong.
"It's great if you can understand it this way. Thank you for your support back then." Harish said with a toast.
Zhang Ran had a drink with him and then said, "Do you have any plans to come back?"
"Come back? Me? Are you kidding me? How old am I and I'm still coming back?" Harish laughed as if he heard some joke.
Zhang Ran said: "Who said you are old? And the older you are, the more experienced you are, right?"
"Well, even if I want to come back, no one will recognize me. Who will care about an old guy like me now?" Harish looked helpless.
Seeing his expression, Zhang Ran couldn't help but said, "Stop pretending to me, how could a person like you be willing to fail like this
If I guess correctly, there should be many of your people in the Development Bank of South Africa, right? "
Zhang Ran saw what Harish wanted to defend and immediately said: "Don't quibble, where have your dividends gone over the years? Your own expenses are not that big, right?"
Also, I don’t need to say more about your famous calligraphy and painting, antiques, etc., right? I still have some research in this area.
Although what you do is very real, what is fake is fake, and what is not valuable is not valuable. "
Harish's expression changed slightly and he said, "Are you investigating me?"
He was a little shocked. How did Zhang Ran know so much
You must know that he does these things very secretly. He is engaged in the financial industry, and his concealment and use of money have long exceeded the imagination of many people.
After so many years, this was the first time that he was directly discovered.
He didn't believe that Zhang Ran could tell the authenticity of these antique calligraphy and paintings just by looking at them.
Zhang Ran smiled mysteriously and did not explain the mystery. In fact, he had to thank the whale for this.
Whale has been thinking about how to take revenge on the Rhodes family for so many years. By an occasional coincidence, this guy caught a guy who specializes in making fake antiques. It is not unusual for people like them to come into contact with similar people.
Whale didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after this guy revealed some secrets, he became interested because it involved some things about the Rhodes family.
Harish was immediately targeted by the whale. People in the whale would do anything to achieve their goals, so what Harish thought was a secret was roughly understood by the whale.
At the same time, Whale concealed the matter very well and prepared it for his own use, but in the end the choice was left to Zhang Ran.
This is also the reason why Zhang Ran found Harish first, not only because Harish was a previous partner.
