Chapter 892 Seeing Them Off
Chen Yang's actions seemed too reckless in Su Ya's eyes.
"The Haoneng Construction Group is not only staffed by members of the Zhou family, but also has many local ruffians involved."
"Shouldn't you try to persuade Chen Yang? Tell him to wait a bit longer, and after the winery is operational, then confront the Zhou family?"
Su Ya looked at Liu Ran with some hesitation. She figured Liu Ran was the only one who could possibly dissuade Chen Yang at this point!
What Su Ya said made sense, but Liu Ran slowly shook her head.
"It's not that I disagree with you, but Chen Yang has already made his move."
"You know Chen Yang's personality. Once he sets his mind on something, no one can stop him!"
Liu Ran felt a sense of helplessness. "Most importantly, this matter concerns the Zhou family. Chen Yang has wanted to deal with the Zhou family for a long time. If it weren't for the southwest project holding him back, he would have..."
Su Ya, overhearing this, sighed and gave Liu Ran a wry smile. "When did you two start wearing the same pants? It's not that I don't know we have to fight the Zhou family, but the entry point and timing are clearly wrong!"
"However, since you've both decided, I can't say much more."
At this point, Su Ya's expression changed, and she said resolutely, "If we're going to make a move, we must be swift! We need to take down the Haoneng Construction Group before the Zhou family can react!"
Su Ya had weathered many storms in the business world over the years.
Facing a behemoth like the Zhou family, Yangyangyang Company actually had a significant first-mover advantage.
The sheer size of the Zhou family meant it was destined to be a massive, slow-moving machine with a sluggish reaction time.
The Zhou family might not even realize what had happened with the Haoneng Construction Group yet.
Before the Zhou family caught on, Su Ya and Liu Ran decided to do something to draw their attention.
That afternoon, Yangyangyang Company posted a piece of news on various social media platforms.
"Yangyangyang Company is seeking acquisition? What's going on?"
"With a company of this magnitude, only a few others could possibly swallow it. But I haven't heard of any major issues with Yangyangyang Company's online sales platform? Isn't it undergoing an upgrade right now?"
...
When this news broke, Liu Ran and Su Ya both received numerous interview invitations from newspapers.
Such a high-profile move naturally attracted the attention of the Zhou family.
Upon hearing the news, Zhou Lihao, who was in Shanghai, was immediately puzzled. The Zhou family had worked tirelessly before, with even Luo Yanghong from the Xuantian Cave Mansion involved.
In the end, they couldn't even take down Yangyangyang Company's online sales platform. Now, Yangyangyang Company was offering to hand it over on a silver platter?
What was going on?
Despite his wariness, Zhou Lihao personally contacted Liu Ran.
"Ms. Liu, this is Zhou Lihao from the Zhou family. Would it be convenient to meet?"
Liu Ran, who was preparing for an interview, hadn't expected Zhou Lihao, the person in charge in Shanghai, to contact her directly.
It seemed her bait was quite tempting!
"I don't think it's necessary. Yangyangyang Company will not consider the Zhou family."
"If there's nothing else, then goodbye."
Liu Ran showed no courtesy whatsoever. Their relationship had long since soured, and Liu Ran was not afraid of offending them.
Zhou Lihao, having his call hung up, wasn't angry. Instead, he was somewhat pleased.
Although he didn't know what had happened to Yangyangyang Company, it was clear that Liu Ran genuinely intended to sell the company!
While the Zhou family couldn't directly interfere with the acquisition, they could act as an underground line, providing acquisition funds to someone or some company.
Yangyangyang Company, he was determined to get it!
Zhou Lihao knew his time in Shanghai wouldn't last long, and everything would eventually fall to Zhou Yuanwei.
He wanted to make all the necessary arrangements and adjustments to achieve the best possible outcome during his remaining time in Shanghai.
For the position of Zhou family patriarch, his branch had to fight for it!
As Zhou Lihao pondered this, he immediately contacted the general managers of several Zhou family companies in Shanghai.
Meanwhile, in the conference room of Yangyangyang Company in Qingzhou City, reporters anxiously waiting finally saw Liu Ran arrive.
When Liu Ran saw the reporters present, she found one of them familiar. Before she could ask for her name, the interviewing reporter walked over with a smile.
"Ms. Liu, it's been a long time! I'm Yang Wanwan from Huazhan News!"
Yang Wanwan was the same female reporter from the stadium in Shanghai.
Yang Wanwan had completed many exclusive interviews for Yangyangyang Company towards the end of the game.
As the overall head of Yangyangyang Company, Yang Wanwan and Liu Ran had met several times.
Liu Ran quickly shook her hand. "Wanwan, is that you? I thought you were in Shanghai?"
Seeing that Liu Ran remembered her, and that she spoke so warmly, Yang Wanwan felt at ease.
"My maternal grandmother's family is from Qingzhou City. My grandmother fell ill a while ago, so I applied to transfer to Qingzhou City."
"I'm currently handling all interview work in Qingzhou City."
Liu Ran was aware of some of Yang Wanwan's background.
Although Yang Wanwan had been a sports reporter in Shanghai, before that, her work experience was extremely diverse.
Her first job after graduation was as a foreign language reporter, and she was later directly seconded overseas.
Her expertise lay in economic reporting.
"That's great! Let's go for a meal together after the interview."
After a brief chat about personal matters, they got down to business.
The moment the soft lights shone on them, Yang Wanwan immediately entered her professional mode.
"Ms. Liu, what are your plans for Yangyangyang Company's future development? Have you changed them due to pressure from other companies in the industry?"
The questions Yang Wanwan asked had been communicated with Liu Ran in advance.
Regarding pressure from other companies in the industry, anyone who had a basic understanding of Yangyangyang Company's development history could tell which company was being referred to.
Just as the two were conducting the interview, a sudden commotion erupted outside.
Hu Feng's voice could be heard, "They are conducting an interview inside. You can't go in!"
"Get out of the way! Let go of me! If my grandmother gets hurt, can you bear that responsibility? Where are Liu Ran and Su Ya? Where have they all gone? Is this how a large company treats its guests?"
Hearing the shouts from outside, everyone in the room frowned.
Liu Ran gave Yang Wanwan a slightly apologetic look. "I'll go and see what's happening. Please rest here for a moment."
