State-owned enterprises like postal and telecommunications companies and railway companies have no direct leadership authority, let alone at the city or provincial level. They have no interaction with each other and naturally wouldn't know each other.
Hearing this, Lu Feng had no choice but to hang up the phone. After thinking it over and over, he could only think of targeting people like Grandpa Hong and Chen Hansheng.
Grandpa Hong definitely knows him.
Before five o'clock in the evening, Lu Feng drove home, parked the car in a secluded place, and walked home. As soon as he entered the alley, he saw a group of people standing there chatting. Jiang Xiaoyan was wearing a long dress and casually standing there eating sunflower seeds and chatting.
"Xiaoyan, your man is back."
Jiang Xiaoyan turned around and saw Lu Feng, and said in surprise, "You're back so early today?"
"Nothing much happened, so I came back." Lu Feng saw Chen Hansheng sitting at his doorway smoking and said, "Hansheng, you didn't go out today?"
"Boss, you don't go out every day, do you?" Xiu'er came out carrying a basin and said, "Come, come, everyone, try some lychees. Back in the day, this was what Yang Guifei ate. These lychees are special; they're imported from abroad, and you can't buy them even if you have money."
Although these people were wealthy, the logistics were so bad that it made the exchange of goods extremely difficult. Throughout the 1990s, apart from opening up to the outside world, there were basically only three things in China: family planning, tree planting, and road construction!
Being able to get your hands on late-season lychees in August is quite an achievement. In those days, for a small number of wealthy people, the problem wasn't a lack of money, but a lack of resources; they couldn't buy rare items even if they had the money.
Everyone shared the lychees, praising Chen Hansheng and his wife for their extensive connections. Lu Feng and his family of three each ate one. Xiu'er kept her eyes on the three of them, first asking Duo Duo, "Is it delicious? This is called lychee. Haven't you ever had it before?"
Duoduo was a little confused. She looked up at Lu Feng and Jiang Xiaoyan, unsure how to answer them. The little girl had seen and experienced everything. Shenzhen had everything, and if something wasn't available, it could be imported, though it would be more expensive.
"It's really good, it must be expensive, right?" Lu Feng said, tossing the lychee peel aside.
"It's not expensive. If you calculate it, it's only three to five yuan per piece," Chen Hansheng said casually, but his expression was full of arrogance.
Those present gasped upon hearing the price. The people in this alley were considered wealthy by ordinary standards, yet they were still astonished by the price, which showed just how expensive it was.
“The rich are different.” Lu Feng asked Chen Hansheng, “Hansheng, you should be very familiar with this post and telecommunications system, right?”
"Of course, it's full of my buddies, we eat together all the time." Chen Hansheng had already sensed that Lu Feng wanted something from him. He looked up at Lu Feng, narrowed his eyes slightly, and was secretly delighted. So, you've finally met your match.
"But these are nothing compared to you, a boss who does business worth hundreds of millions. You wouldn't even look at them, right?"
"Don't say that, we're neighbors." Lu Feng took out a half-empty pack of cigarettes from yesterday from his pocket, handed one over, and said, "Have a smoke."
Chen Hansheng glanced at it, lit it, and said, "Hua Zi? You wouldn't even dare to smoke it yourself, would you?"
"I've quit!" Lu Feng said with a smile.
"Speak, what's wrong? If I can solve it for you, I will." Chen Hansheng crossed his legs, looking superior.
The neighbors all saw it and understood that Jiang Xiaoyan's previous boasts had all been shattered; this family was nothing in front of Chen Hansheng.
Don't underestimate this change. Nowadays, although neighbors seem lively and polite on the surface, they also treat people differently depending on who they are. If you are powerful, the other party will be more accommodating and tolerant in daily life. If you are not powerful, they will really bully you.
"I'd also like to get into the logistics business, so I'd like to get to know some leaders in the post and telecommunications sector," Lu Feng said to him. "I'll treat you to a meal, anywhere you like."
When Xiu'er heard that Lu Feng had also set his sights on the logistics business, she couldn't help but speak up: "Who can just do logistics like that? The leaders there are so busy with their own affairs that we might not even get to see them. Why should they see you? And have a meal with you? Haven't they ever eaten before? You think you're qualified to do logistics?"
