Otherwise, Zhang Ran would not have been able to agree so happily. Zhang Ran's unyielding retribution to Wimes has been experienced personally.
If he didn't know that he had found the real person behind the scenes and knew that they were also being used, Zhang Ran wouldn't be so easy to talk to.
From Zhang Ran's revenge back then, it can be seen that he is definitely not that easy to talk to, nor will he be swayed by interests, otherwise he would not have paid such a high price for revenge back then.
Zhang Ran said noncommittally: "It was you who were stupid back then, and you were taken advantage of and still haven't found out until now. I really don't know how you have been able to maintain it for so many years."
Zhang Ran was taunting him without giving any face.
Weems was not angry, and just asked, "Did you really not want to get involved in the oil business back then? Also, was there really no one behind you back then?"
Zhang Ran knew what he meant and sneered: "Oil? Why should I mix it with oil if I have nothing to do
Also, is there someone behind this? Do you have any brains? They actually think that I have nothing to do with getting involved in the oil business. I don't want to cause trouble for myself. "
Zhang Ran was also dumbfounded by these people. Can anyone do the oil business if they want to
Of course, with Zhang Ran's strength and various circumstances back then, he could have intervened, but there would have been a lot of trouble.
But Zhang Ran also has such qualifications.
What's more, he is from China. No one knew whether Zhang Ran had any hints from China behind his back.
Judging from some information obtained and some signs from Zhang Ran at the time, they took action without waiting for a thorough investigation to be clear.
At first, they were just targeting and doing some unknown things, but soon the situation started to get out of control.
These things happened so fast that they didn't have time to react or prepare.
"You're not tempted by such a huge benefit?" Wilms didn't believe it at all.
In fact, he still had some doubts in his heart, that is, he might have really had such thoughts back then, but was taken advantage of by the Rhodes brothers and sisters.
After all, not everyone can refuse Lin Run like Petroleum.
Zhang Ran said with a somewhat disdainful expression: "Is the profit huge?"
Wimes looked at Zhang Ran's serious face and didn't know what to say. Of course, the profits from oil are huge, and it's not just profits, but also various resources and connections.
But if we just talk about profits, then it seems that it is really not too big for Zhang Ran.
Especially as the market values of some of the companies Zhang Ran invested in have skyrocketed over the years, in comparison, the profits from oil are indeed not very attractive to Zhang Ran.
Zhang Ran looked at Wilms and said: "If you have any other questions, please ask them today. We will be considered partners from now on. I don't want to cause any more bad things in or about things, so I will be honest today." Some."
Weems thought for a moment and said, "Then why did you meet with those officials back then?"
"I want to say that I didn't know whether you would believe it when I went there?" Zhang Ran said.
"And even if I go to see it, what will it mean?"
Wilms no longer asks questions in this regard, and it is indeed unnecessary. No matter what, it has become a foregone conclusion now.
"Then how are you going to deal with the Rhodes family?" Weems asked.
As for Zhang Ran not taking revenge, that is simply impossible. With Zhang Ran's character, revenge is a must, and he will retaliate fiercely.
Zhang Ran smiled and said: "What? Are you also involved?"
"Of course I won't let it go if I can. After all, we also suffered heavy losses back then." Weems said.
"It's okay if you want to get involved, but ugly words first, if you really want to get involved, then no matter what, even if you are going to lose, you can only withdraw, instead of stabbing me in the back. Otherwise, I would rather give up revenge on the Rhodes family than let you have an easy time." Zhang Ran said calmly, but his tone was serious.
Wilms nodded and said: "This is natural."
"I hope you can keep your word." Zhang Ran was noncommittal. No matter how serious these people said, Zhang Ran would not believe it.
But there is no need to exclude them. In fact, it is not easy for Zhang Ran to get involved in many things, such as oil matters.
This aspect was too involved, and Zhang Ran did not dare to enter rashly.
And it's still here in the United States, but if Wilms and the others take action, then these problems will not exist.
Zhang Ran and Wimes chatted for a long time. No one knew what they talked about. They just knew that Wimes had a smile on his face when he left. It was obvious that he had reached a lot of deals with Zhang Ran.
At the same time, Zhang Ran also sent a message to Zhongqiang Group and Nianrun Group, telling them that the shares of the South African Development Bank had been negotiated.
... ... ... ... ... .
China.
Xin Youmin was sitting face to face with some people at this time. They gathered together as soon as they got the news about Zhang Ran.
"Zhang Ran's actions were really fast. In just a short time, the shares were obtained." Xin Youmin said with emotion.
Ren Guofeng nodded and said: "Indeed, this Mr. Zhang is really well-deserved. In fact, I was also favored by Mr. Zhang back then, but maybe he himself has forgotten it."
"How do you say that?" Xin Youmin was a little curious. Although Zhongqiang Group was established relatively early, it basically had no achievements in the early stage. It can only be said to be half-dead and relying on subsidies from the state.
Ren Guofeng said with a hint of nostalgia: "My team and I went to the United States because of a technology. As you know, people in the United States basically looked down on us at that time.
Even though we spent real money, we still couldn't reach an agreement, and the attitude of those people was particularly arrogant.
Thinking about it now makes me angry. This is also the reason why Zhongqiang Group has insisted on developing its own technology for so many years. I really don’t want to encounter such a situation again. "
"Okay, no one wants to hear your boring lamentations. Who here has never encountered such a thing
It sounds like you are wronged, but if you really want to say it, I have been wronged much more than you. "Xin Youmin said angrily.
Ren Guofeng was not angry, he just smiled and said: "It's just a sigh of relief. Those technologies were very important back then. Even if the talks collapsed, I was not willing to leave. Now I think about it, it was God's will. At that time, I and Mr. Zhang were because of human differences." Got introduced to each other.
In fact, I didn't have high hopes at that time, but within a few days, the attitude there began to change. Although the price paid was still relatively high, we finally reached an agreement, which also provided benefits to our Zhongqiang Group. The foundation for subsequent rise was laid. "
