Dingdong!

In the morning, someone rang the doorbell of Zhou Ming's courtyard. Zhou Ming originally thought that Du Peng had come again to have a meal, but when he opened the door, he saw two people that Zhou Ming had never expected.

"Hello, Minister Wang." Zhou Ming said that the people who came to the door early in the morning were Wang Maokun, chairman of the Post and Telecommunications Group, and his son Wang Shenglong. Of course, due to special reasons of certain eras and organization, Wang Maokun can be called Minister Wang.

Zhou Ming invited them into the house and asked Su Han to bring out the prepared porridge and soy milk to them. Wang Maokun expressed his gratitude for this.

"Minister Wang is such a rare guest! I have only been living in this courtyard for a short time. The reason why Minister Wang is here makes me feel glorious..."

Zhou Ming sat down and said first, after all, it is a guest when he comes to the door. Even though Zhou Ming knew that Wang Shenglong was making trouble behind the scenes of the bid before, now that he takes the initiative to come to the door, he has to do his superficial skills well, otherwise he will give him a look when he comes to the door, which will only make his own path narrower and narrower. It is said that the prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach, which is not a simple sentence, but a profound knowledge.

"This time we are taking Wang Shenglong to apologize to you, Mr. Zhou Ming." Wang Maokun said.

Wang Maokun's words surprised Zhou Ming, because generally speaking, shouldn't everyone start a polite show with each other? Why did they go straight to the point as soon as they came up?

However, looking at Wang Maokun's face full of fatigue and helplessness, I was afraid that he would not do this if he had any other way.

Then Wang Maokun gave Wang Shenglong a wink, and Wang Shenglong stood up and took out a brocade box to Zhou Ming: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I am sorry for the trouble I have caused to you in the bidding this time."

It can be heard that Wang Shenglong was a little bit gritting his teeth and talking. Obviously, he was still a little unwilling to accept it, but he had no choice.

"This is an authentic work of Wang Anshi. Although it is just an inscription, it is also a few authentic works in the world." Wang Maokun said to Zhou Ming, "In history, Wang Anshi's reforms have been strengthened, and Zhou Ming, you have been pursuing innovation. So this calligraphy and painting is just right for you, and I hope you can accept it with a smile."

I have to say that compared to Wang Shenglong's hard words, although Wang Maokun's tone can be heard, it is much more natural than Wang Shenglong.

Zhou Ming also took a breath. Although Zhou Ming did not understand the antique industry at all, the name Wang Anshi was very familiar. More importantly, Zhou Ming had never heard of anyone who had the original work of Wang Anshi in his past and present lives, but he did not expect that Wang Maokun took out one now.

Zhou Ming did not rush to reach out, but signaled Wang Shenglong to sit down first: "Minister Wang, if I don't explain the reason clearly, I dare not accept such an expensive gift!"

Zhou Ming did not understand the value of the original work of Wang Anshi, but he thought that if someone like Wang Maokun could visit him early in the morning and take it out so seriously, the value would definitely not be low. He actually gave such a precious thing to himself. If he said that he was just apologizing for the previous bidding, Zhou Ming would not believe it no matter what. And more importantly, Zhou Ming has not figured out what happened yet.

Wang Maokun looked at Zhou Ming deeply before saying, "We are here to ask Comrade Zhou Ming to show his strength..."

Wang Maokun told Zhou Ming that just yesterday afternoon, Premier Zhao Sen talked to him alone and expressed his desire to officially separate the postal and telecommunications system.

Zhou Ming then understood what the situation was. You should know that Prime Minister Zhao Sen talked to him, either to discuss with him or to notify him. The Wang family's resources were basically invested in the mail.

In the electrical system, the separation of postal and telecommunications systems now does not mean that the Wang family has been cut in half?

No, this is not as simple as cutting in half. You must know that with the rapid development of telephones, mobile phones and the Internet, there is a trend of telecommunications that push the Yangtze River forward and catch up with traditional postal services. This has to make Wang Maokun panic.

"But I didn't do this." Zhou Ming said.

Wang Maokun looked at Zhou Ming in surprise. He didn't expect that Zhou Ming would be so honest, because if it were someone else, I would be afraid that he would respond to this matter first, and then raise the price and find a way to bite a few more pieces of meat from the Wang family to get it true.

"Minister Wang, don't look at me like that. I want to pretend to be a tiger's power. However, this kind of thing is obviously impossible to be affected by a small businessman of my level. I want to scare others, but if you want to scare you, Minister Wang, then you should save money."

Zhou Ming paused when he said this: "So I want to know what you are thinking, Minister Wang."

clever!

Wang Maokun couldn't help but praise Zhou Ming in his heart, and then said, "I hope to cooperate with you, Zhou Ming."

Wang Maokun told Zhou Ming that since the Prime Minister had talked to him personally, it proved that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, he could only find another way out.

The separation of postal and telecommunications systems is of course a major bloodletting for the Wang family, but what makes Wang Maokun even more panic is the future development of traditional postal services.

With the continuous development of telephone and computers and the popularity of various communication methods, the need for traditional postal services will become less and less. Perhaps in his hands, he still has ways to keep the profits of traditional postal services, but what about in the future?

It is impossible not to say that no one in this world is a fool, especially Wang Maokun can sit in the position of a provincial senior official, and he is definitely not a fool. At least Zhou Ming only knew the decline of traditional postal services after his rebirth, but Wang Maokun had foresaw the future in 1997.

But Wang Maokun still has his limitations. He can foresee the future, but he can't solve it. In the past, the postal and telecommunications system was together, and he could still force the telecommunications side to develop traditional postal services with his own power. But now when the postal and telecommunications system is separated, he can no longer do anything about it.

"I know Zhou Ming, you are a very thoughtful person, so I hope to cooperate with you and see how the postal service will go in the future."

Wang Maokun continued: "I know there were conflicts between us in the past, and in the previous Huatong company bid, Wang Shenglong deliberately made trouble behind the scenes. For this reason, I specially brought him to the door to apologize to you. If Zhou Ming, you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me..."

Zhou Ming waved his hand and said that he didn't mean that: "Minister Wang, there is actually no fundamental conflict between us. It is normal to do everything you can to bid. Even if Wang Shenglong doesn't interfere, I may not be able to go smoothly."

Zhou Ming also said: "It is impossible to say that I don't care about anything. I wouldn't be so generous. But now Minister Wang, you have brought him to the door and apologized to me in person. At least we can write off the past. After all, it has not caused any fundamental impact on me."

When he said this, Zhou Ming paused: "I really don't understand the postal sector. Even if I know it, I have only a little understanding. Even if you are a leader like Minister Wang, you are a leader who has come up step by step from the grassroots level, what else can I do?"

Wang Maokun was stunned, with his face on his face

Smile bitterly, he hadn't thought about this result? You should know that this is a development trend, how can one person change it?

"It seems that I am a little sick and seeking medical treatment."

Wang Maokun said self-deprecatingly, and then said, "But since I have brought the things, I don't plan to bring them back. Just think that it's our smile to eliminate our grudges."

Wang Shenglong took out the brocade box and handed it to Zhou Ming again. Zhou Ming accepted it without shirking this time.

"I have a short mouth and a short hand. Since I have taken you from Minister Wang, then I will ask you a question. Is Minister Wang trying to save and continue the traditional postal service? Or is he just planning to find a new way out for himself or his family?"

Zhou Ming suddenly said: "If it is to save traditional postal services, then I am afraid I can't do anything. After all, I don't understand the operation of traditional postal services. And even if the telecommunications industry develops, I think it will still have a very market in at least ten years and will not disappear all at once. Then for ten years, I think if the successor you chose, Minister Wang, have some skills, will always find a way out for traditional postal services."

"If that's..."

Wang Shenglong couldn't wait to speak, but he had just started to say something, and remembered that it was not appropriate for him to speak rashly. He glanced at his father Wang Maokun and swallowed the following words back.

Wang Maokun sighed softly, and then continued Wang Shenglong's words: "What if I were to find a new way out for my family?"

"Then I have a good project worth trying, which is express delivery." Zhou Ming said.

Wang Maokun and Wang Shenglong looked at each other. They were actually quite looking forward to Zhou Ming's answer, but when Zhou Ming said the express delivery, they became entangled.

After thinking about it carefully, Wang Maokun still said: "Maybe it may be a question I understand. Zhou Ming, the express delivery industry you are talking about refers to the mailing of parcels and goods? But we also have such business in traditional postal services. There are small parcels and bulk goods under the post office, and there are express delivery and registration models. If it is more and larger things, isn't the logistics company better?"

Zhou Ming also nodded and agreed with Wang Maokun's words: "It's true that as Minister Wang, you said, the post office does have postal services similar to express delivery, but Minister Wang, do you think the post office alone is enough?"

Zhou Ming was very confident about saying this. Just kidding, if the post office could really monopolize the market, how could there be so many express companies in the future? To put it bluntly, the post office's transportation capacity alone cannot provide transportation for so many express delivery nationwide, so other express companies need to enter and fill it. As for the profits of the express delivery business... needless to say, if you don't make money, you are afraid that those express delivery companies will collapse long ago. Why bother trying hard to get in?

Moreover, Zhou Ming proposed that this is another consideration, which is that Zhang Yun’s current entrepreneurship and the success of online shopping in the future, to put it bluntly, it is also complementary to the huge express delivery network in China.

As early as when he supported Zhang Yun's business, Zhou Ming thought about the issue of express delivery, but he couldn't find a breakthrough. But now that Wang Maokun and his son came to him on their own initiative, isn't this a good opportunity to intervene? What else is more reliable than fooling the current postal boss and using his resources to start express delivery?

Wang Maokun thought carefully for a while, and then said to Zhou Ming: "Thank you very much, I understand. Mr. Zhou Ming is worthy of being Mr. Zhou Ming!"
