"President Lu, please don't overthink it. The country is now advocating for the support of private enterprises, and this is where my responsibility lies," Yang Yanyi said earnestly.
"I know, don't worry, I'm a decent person. Where shall we meet?" Lu Feng asked impatiently.
"Just stay downstairs at my hotel," Yang Yan said, then hung up the phone.
A dozen minutes later, Lu Feng drove down to the breakfast restaurant. After the two sat down, Yang Yan spoke first: "I thought about your platform model last night, and it's too idealistic."
"Oh? Is that so?" Lu Feng looked at him and said, "If you were to do it, how would you do it?"
“The current private logistics sector is quite chaotic, and a private enterprise like yours can’t handle all of this,” Yang Yan said with particular seriousness. “Moreover, this kind of platform is destined to go against the big logistics companies.”
Lu Feng nodded repeatedly and asked, "If you were to do it, how would you do it?"
“President Lu, please don’t always tell me to do it. I’m just telling you the difficulties and pain points,” Yang Yan said to him.
“I understand this difficulty and pain point. I actually want to talk to you about it again. You must listen carefully to what I’m about to say, because it concerns your future.” Lu Feng said seriously.
"My life after this?" Yang Yan was stunned for a moment, then said, "You're kidding me again. Our company kept talking about you in meetings last year. We know you pretty well. You're always talking nonsense."
Lu Feng laughed and said, "What you learn from others is finally how others see me. Let me finish before you make a decision. What I'm saying is that you can't stay in the Post and Telecommunications Group anymore; it will ruin you."
"Where else can I go if I don't stay at the Post and Telecommunications Group?" Yang Yan smiled somewhat disdainfully and said, "I am currently at the deputy division level."
"Never mind what level you are, I'm asking you, how much do you earn a month?" Lu Feng asked.
"Eight...eight hundred," Yang Yan said, sounding somewhat unsure.
"Is there any gray income? A regular worker at Jiafeng Electronics can earn over four hundred a month. You might say you have a promising future, that you're a leader. Let me analyze your so-called promising future for you." Lu Feng tapped the table with his hand and said, "Do you know about the splitting up of the Post and Telecommunications Group?"
"How did you know?" Yang Yan's eyes widened, and he lowered his voice, "This is a secret. Most people don't know this. I found out through rumors."
"Am I an ordinary person?" Lu Feng said to him, "Do you know what it will look like after it's demolished? Do you know why it's being demolished? Everything needs to make way for private enterprises. The future belongs to private enterprises."
Lu Feng knew that without a strong medicine, Yang Yan would never leave the body. If he told him normally that he would have to disconnect a telecommunications company, the other party might not give up.
"As far as I know, the country is serious this time. The Post and Telecommunications Group will be split into no fewer than thirty companies," Lu Feng said with a serious expression.
"Thirty companies?" Yang Yan exclaimed in surprise, then whispered, "Won't that just tear everything apart?"
“Yes, that’s right, we’re going to tear it down to pieces. You know, when state-owned enterprises are broken up, it means a lot of personnel changes. The chairman will be given a position to hold for a while, and then he’ll retire. Who are the people who will be promoted? Young people!” Lu Feng tapped the table lightly with his hand and said, “How old are you? Are you a leader in the relevant department now?”
"This kind of restructuring is very friendly to young professionals. For someone like you in your forties, it's a good outcome to be given a quiet position to retire in. An even worse outcome would be personnel reduction. If you're lucky, you might get a buyout of your years of service. If you're unlucky, you won't get anything. The country is determined to push this forward. You're in the system, so you should know this better than I do."
"If you were to leave now, there would be plenty of companies in the market that would want you, because people like you are a scarce resource. You have connections within the postal and telecommunications system. When the real restructuring happens next year, there will be plenty of people like you who will be laid off."
“A man who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present. You need to think it over. Since you're going to come out anyway, what difference does it make whether you leave sooner or later? Leaving now will maximize your benefits.” Lu Feng looked at him and said, “It's all for your own good.”
Yang Yan was stunned on the spot, completely dumbfounded. When he heard the news, he didn't want to think about it, but Lu Feng had completely pierced through his wits.
Yes, people always have to face the future. The splitting of the postal and telecommunications services was a done deal, but he just didn't expect it to be split so drastically!
