Chapter 607: Asian Young Business Leaders

Ranji Chunshen Group.

This was the name of the Ran Family's parent company.

However, a long time ago, it had another name called [Chunshen Lianghang].

After the Ran Family arrived in Shanghu from the United States, they took over this company and prefixed it with [Ranji], thus it was called the Ran Family Group.

And the Chunshen Club was naturally named after it.

Ranji Chunshen Group is the parent holding company, with subsidiaries in several categories including real estate, life sciences, chemicals, finance, and technology.

However, most of them do not have much presence domestically; only the real estate and technology companies are quite famous.

Everyone already knows about the technology company; it is [Century Ranxing], where Ran Ruqiu serves as CEO.

And the real estate company is the place where Zheng Qian has just arrived.

It is called [Ranfeng Real Estate Group].

Looking at the building in front of him, Zheng Qian felt quite emotional.

It once represented the most glorious years of the Ran Family, and during its peak, it was one of the top five real estate companies in Jiuzhou.

It had deep cooperation with [Hee Kee Real Estate] of the Hong Kong Li family, and together they secured most of the most valuable plots of land in Shanghu.

Later, as the Li family began wanting to move to England and continuously transferred their assets, the Ran Family also took over many of their land plots.

Unfortunately, times have changed, and the current real estate market in Jiuzhou is in a state of depression and chaos.

Since the "Guangda Group" defaulted on trillions in debt, several other top-tier real estate companies have now collapsed.

Ranfeng Real Estate is also in great danger.

But fortunately, after Zheng Qian waved his hand at the Chunshen Club and invested 50 billion, it finally came back to life.

It is now the real estate company with the healthiest development momentum in the country.

After parking in the "executive exclusive parking space" underground, Zheng Qian opened the door and stepped out to find 4 or 5 people standing in front of him.

The first thing that caught his eye was President Ran Hongchun, the son-in-law of the Ran Family, followed by President Ran Ruhuan, who looked somewhat similar to Jin Lu.

It turned out that the senior management of The Group had long been waiting here to welcome him personally.

"President Zheng, let me introduce you." President Ran Hongchun walked up to Zheng Qian in a few quick steps and said enthusiastically, "This is the CEO of Ranfeng Real Estate, President Jin's uncle, Ran Tianyu."

"This is Ran Tianyu's daughter, and also the President of Ranfeng Real Estate, President Ran Ruhuan."

"These few are professional managers poached from the famous British real estate consulting firm, DTZ..."

President Ran Hongchun was worthy of being the President of Ranji Chunshen Group, the Ran Family's parent company, as he knew the senior management of the subsidiary Ranfeng Real Estate like the back of his hand.

Ran Tianyu was a businessman who looked very refined, while President Ran Ruhuan was more lively.

She looked at Zheng Qian with great curiosity, not acting distant at all despite their first meeting.

"Hello, President Zheng. We have been waiting for a long time. Please move to the upper floors."

After shaking hands with Zheng Qian, Ran Tianyu naturally walked side-by-side with him, with the three of them, including President Ran Hongchun, walking at the front.

The purpose of today's meeting was not just to discuss cooperation in the real estate sector.

It was also a gesture of goodwill.

Ran Tianyu was the son of the third branch, and his current situation was very delicate.

A few months ago, when Ran Xiang's health had not deteriorated and she was still serving as the manager of the Chunshen Club, she was able to help Ranfeng Real Estate.

But ever since Ran Xiang was sent away for medical treatment, the entire focus of the Ran Family had been placed on Century Ranxing.

The equity in their hands had also been diluted again.

It could be said that their voice within the Ran Family had plummeted, and they had already been marginalized.

To regain the initiative, they had to show goodwill towards Zheng Qian and Jin Lu.

At the same time, this was also a process for Zheng Qian to choose allies.

After entering the conference room, everyone exchanged brief pleasantries before getting straight to the point.

Having someone from the Ran Family explain the current situation to Zheng Qian was truly the most appropriate thing.

They were insiders themselves, so the feedback they received was naturally the most direct.

"Brother-in-law, we all know that the person the ancestor likes the most is Ran Xiang."

"But... I don't mean to be ominous, but I'm afraid Sister Ran Xiang doesn't have many months left. Besides her, the ancestor is most fond of Ran Ruqiu. And as far as I know, she was initially the most opposed to letting Sister Jin Lu come back."

As soon as President Ran Ruhuan finished speaking, her father, Ran Tianyu, coughed.

His gaze was slightly reproachful, as if he did not want her to discuss these matters.

Zheng Qian waved his hand and nodded slightly, "I have heard a bit about these things. As for the investment issue, we have already discussed it enough just now. Since you are people recognized by Ran Xiang, we are naturally unbreakable allies. Don't worry about the money; I will help Ranfeng Real Estate reach the next level."

"Ran Tianyu, I remember you seem to have other things to say?"

Hearing this, Ran Tianyu nodded.

He pondered for a moment, as if organizing his thoughts.

"It's like this: next month, a high-level economic forum will be held in Shanghu. The composition of the attendees is quite complex, and the main purpose is to select the [Asian Youth Business Leader]. Currently, Shang Yanxiong has the highest support."

"To put it bluntly, there is a deep shadow of the United States behind this meeting."

"This organization is equivalent to an international version of the 'Shanghai Americas Club'. If it is finally established and Shang Yanxiong serves as the chairman, the consequences will be unimaginable. This involves youth business leaders from three countries: South Korea, Japan, and Jiuzhou."

"Let's not even talk about patriotism for now; just their joint economic blockade alone means that if we want to survive, we must join it. The Ran Family's bankruptcy could happen in the blink of an eye. And speaking of a bigger picture, think about Shang Yanxiong's layout..."

One sentence awakened the dreamer.

Zheng Qian closed his eyes slightly; he seemed to finally understand why Shang Yanxiong insisted on meddling in dock shipping.

Although he is a Jiuzhou person, the things he does basically completely align with the interests of the U.S. side.

If it wasn't for Ran Tianyu mentioning Japan, he wouldn't have thought of this point.

Japan... water... dock transportation...

Asian Youth Business Leader.

Many seemingly unrelated things were all connected by Zheng Qian at this moment.

Even if it wasn't Shang Yanxiong, once this organization is truly established, if any pro-U.S. person becomes the leader, coupled with the cooperation of the Shanghai Americas Club, then not to mention the Ran Family going bankrupt, I'm afraid a large number of companies will die.

Then the capital from the United States, South Korea, and Japan will seize the opportunity to enter.

The consequences are indeed unimaginable.

"Brother-in-law, let me be blunt. There are quite a few candidates now, and Shang Yanxiong has the highest support, but there are also excellent young people from South Korea and Japan who are eyeing this position covetously; many people have this hope."

"As a veteran enterprise in Shanghu, Ranji Chunshen Group has also received a symbolic invitation to attend."

"The family board of directors is inclined to let Ran Ruqiu participate in the election."

"But the candidate in our hearts is Sister Jin Lu."

"If you want to completely defeat the Shanghai Americas Club, you must let Sister Jin Lu surpass Shang Yanxiong and the others. The venue for the meeting is the [Shanghai World Financial Center], once the tallest building."

"The Japanese investors have decided to transfer the property rights of this building. Brother-in-law, as far as I know, you are still looking for a location for the [Qianlu Group] headquarters, right? In my opinion, there is no place more suitable than this building."

"Renovating this 'Saber Building' is a task only you, Brother-in-law, can handle."
