Blake's words immediately pulled all the originally neutral people to his side. If Zhang Ran insisted on having his own way, then these neutral people might stand on the opposite side in an instant.
Although some people also saw it, it was hard to say anything at this time, because Black was actually right. They didn't want to get involved, but they didn't want to suffer losses because of it.
In this way, it is obvious that Zhang Ran is at a disadvantage.
Everyone looked at Zhang Ran and wanted to hear what he thought. If they agreed, then he would have failed this time.
Even if there is another move later, those who support it will probably be murmuring in their hearts.
A good start is very important, and it is also a time to build confidence. Once an accident occurs at this time, things will become much more difficult later.
Of course Zhang Ran understood this, so he smiled and said: "Since everyone has said so, I also agree."
As soon as these words came out, many people's eyes changed and looked at Zhang Ran.
However, Zhang Ran seemed not to notice, and continued: "I actually understand what everyone means, and I also know that it is best not to cause others to suffer losses due to personal grudges. I agree with this."
"Then I now announce that the investigation into Charlie will be put on hold for the time being." Paul announced directly.
Zhang Ran narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Is Chairman Paul so impatient?"
Paul said without changing his eyes: "Isn't that what Mr. Zhang meant? Or did I understand it wrong?"
"Of course you misunderstood. I'm really doubtful. How did you get to this position?" Zhang Ran said unceremoniously.
Judging from Paul's attitude just now, Zhang Ran had completely classified him as an enemy, so he would not leave any room for words.
Zhang Ran is such a person, don't do anything to please him, he doesn't need it.
Either be completely neutral, stand on his side, or stand on the opposite side. There is no fourth option.
Paul's face suddenly turned ugly. He didn't expect Zhang Ran to be so disrespectful to him.
Although he only receives dividends from the shares and does not have any real shares that he can control, he still has a strong say in the Development Bank of South Africa.
After Zhang Ran finished speaking, he didn't look at him, but looked at other people, especially the neutral people in Blake.
"Aren't we just worried that our interests will be damaged due to some things?"
"And the most critical point is that this so-called project is under control of Charlie. Everyone must wait until the project is over before investigating Charlie, right?"
"I shouldn't have understood it wrong, right?"
Zhang Ran's words one after another gave many people a bad feeling, but everyone nodded.
That’s what it means now.
Zhang Ran continued: "Okay, I agree with this. Wait until the project is over before investigating Charlie. If the project is over and you don't investigate again, then don't blame me for falling out."
Zhang Ran's words were not polite at all, and his face became serious.
"Of course, once the project is over, we will never protect someone who harms the company's interests." Someone said immediately.
"Okay, let's do that." After Zhang Ran said that, he stood up and left.
But just when he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and said: "By the way, I forgot to remind everyone, that is, the news of the investigation of Charlie, and I hope it will not be leaked.
Once Charlie finally learns the news and chooses to escape, then everyone will have to rely on their own methods, and maybe more things will be involved. This is actually not what I want to see. "
After he left, many people still didn't react, so it was over
As for this project, everyone knows that it must be true, otherwise Hebrew would be so sure.
And there must have been some progress. If there was no progress, Zhang Ran and those who supported him could intervene at any time and stop the project.
After all, they, shareholders, may only occupy a small part of it, that is, the bank's own share interests.
But it also has the right to speak.
Some people don't quite understand what Zhang Ran means
Is this admitting defeat
But it shouldn’t be!
That's not how you admit defeat, and it's a little too quick.
However, some people thought of something, their eyes began to twinkle, and they were planning something in their hearts.
If Zhang Ran doesn't want to just admit defeat, then there are only two points. The first point is to use his own resources to quickly promote the success of this project.
But in this way, Zhang Ran is completely doing something good, which is what most people want to see.
After all, no matter how small the benefit is, it is still money.
Another option is for Zhang Ran to destroy this project. This is a little simpler than the previous one, but it is also a matter of harming others and not benefiting himself.
No one knows what choice Zhang Ran will make.
The meaning of Zhang Ran's last sentence is also very obvious. As long as Charlie chooses to escape, he will use all means to catch him, and then learn more inside information from his mouth.
And among them, it is estimated that more than just the Rhodes siblings are involved.
So this is also a reminder to everyone, including the supporters of the Rhodes brothers and sisters, they don't want to be caught by Zhang Ran now.
In other words, if the Rhodes brothers and sisters want Charlie to abscond, their supporters probably won't agree.
As for Paul, the chairman, Zhang Ran lost face today.
In the past, no matter which shareholder came over, he would actually give him face. Today is the first time he has been treated like this.
But he didn't dare to confront Zhang Ran openly, let alone threaten Zhang Ran with the bank's operations.
After all, this is not a company owned by Zhang Ran alone, but owned by many people, and the power involved is huge.
Once he dares to do this deliberately, a terrible punishment awaits him.
Paul understood this, so a hint of haze gradually appeared in his eyes, but it was fleeting.
In Paul's heart, he has made up his mind that once he seizes the opportunity, he will definitely let Zhang Ran know the consequences of offending him.
But Zhang Ran didn't care about it anymore. He actually knew why Paul was hostile to him, but Zhang Ran didn't care at all.
In comparison, he also wants the bank chairman to stand on his side in the future, which is also a game.
As for how Zhang Ran will act next, as everyone speculates, he is actually different from what everyone thinks.
Because he had a better way. Zhang Ran would never do anything so-called that was harmful to others and not beneficial to himself.
