Upon hearing this, Xiong Kai smiled and patted Chen Hansheng on the shoulder, saying, "Young and promising, just like I used to be."
"Tonight's dinner party is at another restaurant, it should be ready soon, let's go over there." Grandpa Hong said as he walked towards Lu Feng's house, chatting with some former colleagues and about the current state of the company.
Lu Feng was sitting in the yard playing with the dog when he saw Grandpa Hong leading his men in. He stood up and stared at Xiong Kai, saying, "Mr. Xiong, you're here. Please have a seat. It'll be ready soon."
A long table was set up in the courtyard, already laden with food, looking exceptionally plentiful. Xiong Kai noticed that Lu Feng seemed a little unwell, but he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
On the contrary, he found Chen Hansheng quite agreeable; the man was very good at pleasing people in his words and deeds.
Ultimately, it all boils down to attitude. Chen Hansheng kept a slight bow throughout the journey, with a smile on his face, behaving very cautiously in front of Xiong Kai.
Lu Feng, on the other hand, did not go to the door to greet them. Instead, he sat there playing with the dog. Most importantly, Lu Feng's manner of speaking and his gaze gave people the feeling that he was on equal footing with Xiong Kai.
He dares to look himself in the eye!
Xiong Kai was already showing signs of impatience; if it weren't for Grandpa Hong's sake, he would have turned around and left.
He pulled out a stool and sat down without saying a word. Grandpa Hong introduced him, saying, "This is Lu Feng. He invited you here today because he wants to do business in logistics."
Chen Hansheng was very clever; he could tell that Xiong Kai didn't like Lu Feng, so he had no chance.
"Mr. Xiong, please have some water." Chen Hansheng stood up to pour water, then lit a cigarette and poured wine. The whole process was exceptionally smooth. After finishing all this, he glanced at Lu Feng, secretly pleased with himself, as if to say, "Lu Feng, what do you have to compare with me?"
Lu Feng was also very happy, at least he had an extra waiter who didn't charge him.
“Mr. Xiong, I want to cooperate with the postal service to launch a platform model. In the logistics system, we hope to leverage the postal service’s name, logistics points, vehicles, etc.” Lu Feng looked at Xiong Kai and said, “As for the cooperation model, it can be supplemented within other systems of the postal and telecommunications sector, such as the banking sector.”
Chen Hansheng thought Lu Feng would first offer a toast, and after they had drunk enough, he would become sworn brothers and then ask Lu Feng to do him some favors, such as subcontracting some unimportant tasks or renting a few postal vehicles to deliver goods temporarily. He never expected Lu Feng to say a bunch of incomprehensible things.
Grandpa Hong was a little confused when he heard these words, not knowing what they meant.
Xiong Kai understood a little, and looked at Lu Feng, saying, "You want the right to use the name of a post office? A post office? Vehicles?"
"It's a cooperative model. Mixed ownership is being promoted nationwide, where private enterprises and state-owned enterprises cooperate. The name is just painted on the vehicle. The post office doesn't use a front desk; instead, it uses a warehouse. The vehicles will probably be used very little." Lu Feng was about to say that Jiafeng Electronics could use Postal Savings Bank for financing and accounting, or even change the company account to Postal Savings Bank, but the other party didn't give him that opportunity at all.
"Are you kidding me?" Xiong Kai's face was extremely ugly as he shouted at Lu Feng, "Who do you think you are? Sitting here talking to me like this?"
"Are you crazy?" Chen Hansheng stared at Lu Feng with wide eyes and said, "Why don't you just turn the Post and Telecommunications Group into your own? Are you out of your mind?"
"I haven't finished speaking yet, let me finish, okay?" Lu Feng said to the two of them.
"Stop talking. Even if you were the King of Heaven, you couldn't get this deal. And why should I help you? Just because of this meal? Who do you think you are, acting all high and mighty?" Xiong Kai finally stopped holding back.
"I'm not being unreasonable anymore, Mr. Xiong. Can we have a normal conversation?" Lu Feng asked, frowning.
"Is this how you beg for help? What are you doing sitting there so lazily?" Xiong Kai pointed at Lu Feng and shouted, "Do you know what a leader is? I'm only doing this because I'm giving face to Uncle Hong. Otherwise, I would have left long ago."
"Don't be angry, Mr. Xiong. That's just how people are. We shouldn't take it. Come to my house. My wife is a great cook." Chen Hansheng hurriedly stood up and persuaded Xiong Kai to come to his house.
"I haven't even stated my conditions yet. Can you make the decisions about what I just mentioned?" Lu Feng asked calmly.
"I can't make that decision. You look like you're going to buy out the post and telecommunications business. If the city can't decide, go to the province," Xiong Kai said irritably.
"Okay, could you provide the phone number for the provincial office?" Lu Feng asked.
Xiong Kai had been a leader for several years and had seen all sorts of people begging for favors—those who invited him to dinner, those who gave him money, those who knelt down, and those who cried—but he had never seen anyone like Lu Feng.
It didn't seem like he was begging me; it was more like I was begging him.
"Here you go!" Xiong Kai pulled a business card from his pocket and placed it on the table, saying, "It's an internal number for the Provincial Post and Telecommunications Group. Didn't you want to discuss in-depth cooperation? Go ahead!"
Lu Feng glanced at it, put it away, and said, "Thank you!"
