Chapter 573: The Awakening of the Ran Family's Son-in-Law

"President Ran Tinglan, President Ran Hongchun, that is not how you negotiate."

Jin Lu lowered her eyelids slightly. She carefully poured tea for Zheng Qian and said indifferently, "Just as Zheng Qian said, he doesn't need your help to make those people shut up. It's just that your support would speed up the process a little, that's all. Why don't you just be straightforward today? It's because of the pressure from the Six Star Group that you need his help, right?"

President Ran Tinglan clenched her fists tightly under the table, furious!

This couple was truly formidable when singing from the same hymn sheet, and the most critical thing was that they gave her absolutely no face.

While the logic was correct, could they not... be a little more tactful?

"Fine, I know that cooperation requires a cooperative attitude." President Ran Tinglan gritted her teeth as she looked at Zheng Qian. "Because we haven't been able to make a breakthrough in Semiconductor Chip technology, The Group's stock price has plummeted. If not for the support of the Chunshen Club under our banner, I fear we would have collapsed long ago. We previously wanted to cooperate with the Six Star Group to jointly launch BP baseband Semiconductor Chips."

"Therefore, we used this technology in the Semiconductor Chips for certain mobile phones."

"Now, I don't know what's gotten into the Six Star Group. They had clearly agreed to start the cooperation, but suddenly they cancelled it. Furthermore, they won't let us use the technology they previously transferred to us for initial use, but that phone is about to hit the market!"

"Once it hits the market, we will face huge claims for damages..."

Zheng Qian now understood what kind of problem they were facing.

In fact, he was already aware of this issue, but since Jin Lu is currently responsible for very little of the Ran Family's The Group, mainly just the Chunshen Club, he hadn't paid it much attention. Now that the Ran Family was under attack, and they knew that the Zheng Qian Semiconductor Chip Research Institute was doing very well, they thought of coming to ask for help. It wasn't just about money; ideally, they wanted to obtain some of his technology.

"I know the situation now. I can help you solve it. But what can you offer in return?"

Zheng Qian nodded slightly, only spitting out those few words.

President Ran Tinglan was momentarily speechless.

She had planned it well at first, attempting to use her status to coax Zheng Qian. She claimed she could influence those who opposed Jin Lu and unite people to pressure the family matriarch.

But now it seemed that Zheng Qian didn't care about such things at all.

Without her biggest bargaining chip, how could she negotiate?

Money?

Zheng Qian didn't seem to be short of money.

Actually, she was wrong about this; Zheng Qian was in desperate need of money, and not just a little bit. A while ago, he had spent thirty trillion through buying ships and various other expenses, all of which was gone. The 3nm Semiconductor Chip-related technology alone had cost fifteen trillion.

Added to other miscellaneous expenses, Zheng Qian now had less than one trillion on hand.

With such a small amount, he had been feeling quite insecure lately.

"President Ran Tinglan, if you haven't even thought through something this simple, why did you even come to talk to me?"

Zheng Qian lit a cigarette, tapped the table, and said, "Let me point you in the right direction: prepare to transfer all your shares to Jin Lu. Convene a shareholders' meeting, have that old woman come back from the United States immediately, and officially hand the Ran Family over to Jin Lu. Sell what needs to be sold, give what needs to be given; stop holding onto it. She will then realize that the Ran Family will become even stronger without her."

"I know the Ran Family dreams of clashing with the Kong Family. But do you think you can, given your current size? You can't even clash with the Yuchi family; do you still not see the reality?"

As he spoke, Zheng Qian snapped his fingers.

Immediately after, Yuchi Lingxiao pushed the door open and walked in.

Jin Lu was very calm when she saw him; after all, it was just a small matter, and she had never given him a good look anyway. Most importantly, Zheng Qian had already handled it. But President Ran Tinglan and President Ran Hongchun didn't know that, and they stood up with a start.

Their expressions became very unnatural.

Yuchi Lingxiao cleared his throat, bowed slightly to Zheng Qian, and said, "Young Master Zheng, President Jin."

His tone was extremely respectful, which for a moment made President Ran Tinglan think she was hallucinating.

Huh?

Aren't you supposed to be very unruly?

Even when facing the Ran Family's matriarch, weren't you always composed and eloquent? Why are you suddenly so respectful upon seeing Zheng Qian, to the point where you don't even dare to glance at Jin Lu? You've changed; you're not the same Yuchi Lingxiao anymore!

"Young Master Yuchi, what is this..."

President Ran Tinglan stopped mid-sentence, not knowing what was going on.

Zheng Qian snapped his fingers and he came in; had he been standing outside the door for this long?

"It's like this: I wasn't thinking straight before. I don't know if I was attacked by aliens or if I bumped my head when I was learning to walk at three years old... Anyway, I have finally realized my mistake. I shouldn't have proposed to Jin Lu."

"I came here today just to tell you two this. And now I'm going back to the United States. Goodbye!"

After speaking, Yuchi Lingxiao bowed deeply to Zheng Qian and then turned and left.

"Don't think I don't know that you also voted in favor of this ridiculous marriage proposal back then, right? Did you really treat Jin Lu as a bargaining chip that could be traded at any time? President Ran Tinglan, you should be thankful that you are a woman, otherwise you would be dead by now."

"Get out of this room. I'll give you ten seconds. Timing starts now."

Zheng Qian glanced at his phone and said casually, "1, 10."

President Ran Tinglan: ? ? ? ? ?

Didn't you say ten seconds? You f*cking...

You counted 1 and then went straight to 10?

She felt Zheng Qian's suddenly sharp gaze, and she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She hurriedly grabbed her clothes and fled. She even had a premonition that if she stayed any longer, Zheng Qian might really slap her.

Why did I come to find Zheng Qian today!! This is simply self-inflicted humiliation!!

Zheng Qian glanced at President Ran Hongchun. "Aren't you leaving?"

President Ran Hongchun was much more self-aware than President Ran Tinglan. He straightened his body and bowed his head slightly to Zheng Qian.

"Young Master Zheng, although my name is President Ran Hongchun, my original surname was Wang. I changed it after marrying into the family. The tigress at home treats me like a dog, and I currently have less than 5 yuan in private savings. Even as the president of The Group, I live far too suffocatingly."

"I am willing to cooperate in diluting the Ran Family's shares; I only hope that I can follow Young Master Zheng in the future."

"I, I want to earn money for myself."

Zheng Qian appreciated President Ran Hongchun's self-awareness; at least he knew that one couldn't be a hypocrite while trying to maintain a reputation.

He said slowly, "Less than 5 yuan in private savings? Then what do you want to do after you earn money?"

"Play with female stars, buy sports cars, group interactions! Then, then find my first love... that female classmate who sat in front of me, buy her a bouquet of roses, and enter the halls of marriage..."

President Ran Hongchun said these words almost in tears.

It was too miserable; Zheng Qian shook his head repeatedly while watching. Look at this, what had the Ran Family's son-in-law been suppressed into?

"Fine, son-in-law, I agree."
