Chapter 1162: Transformation

After Yang Qing finished giving orders, the Yang Family acted very quickly.

First, Qiongzhou completed the Jingmen overseas student cooperation.

Here, education is highly integrated with the Vanguard, and Chen, Academic Administrator's influence still cannot control this place.

Next came Te Qu and Shanhe Prefecture; the Yang Family's influence here is also considerable, and although the pressure is great, they also have their own plans.

At least fifty percent of Jingmen's people have come out from here.

These are all our own people, so naturally we must consider them; otherwise they would be stabbed in the backbone.

At the same time, these places are also where Vanguard Education was first popularized.

The Yang Family's actions could not be hidden; the Cabinet learned about them quickly.

Facing the Yang Family's decisions made without the Cabinet, they felt very uncomfortable.

But they also probed the Yang Family's attitude.

"Yang Family, we cannot control you."

Someone has long been uncomfortable with such matters.

"Of course we can't control them; they also have to consider one billion compatriots."

"Should we just let them abandon one billion companions?"

"Or do you want to control the Yang Family and thereby indirectly control Jingmen?"

"Give it a try; if it succeeds, that's fine, and if it fails, our stance will still be conveyed."

"Yang Qing is good, but he is old, the second generation has retired, and they are not young either."

"The third generation's methods are already severe, and the generations below will only become more overbearing."

"The Yang Family has given us unparalleled help, but once the Yang Family encounters problems, the resulting destructive power would also be huge."

"We cannot expect every generation of the Yang Family to be good."

"Historical experience has already told us that later generations will only be worse than the previous ones."

"If we don't suppress them now, when they cause damage it will be too late to say anything; does that mean we will have to fight then?"

What they said is also very reasonable and something they have to consider.

"Alright, stop talking so much; just discuss how to resolve the Jingmen overseas study matter, okay?"

"Solve what? Haven't they already solved it themselves?"

"We do not oppose, which is the greatest support."

"We can't have everyone be from Jingmen, so what about our arrangements in other countries?"

"Now it is already a matter, the best solution."

It seems consensus has been reached.

"Talk about the Academic Administrator; these years have indeed been too absurd."

"We really should make a change."

"Over‑industrialization is indeed not appropriate."

"We should promptly produce a feasible plan."

"We can't do worse than Vanguard Education, can we?"

The crowd fell silent for a long time.

"Communicate with Vanguard; we need their data."

"The Cabinet should establish a directly subordinate agency to operate our Vanguard Education."

"Letting Vanguard Education monopolize our education is also unacceptable; at minimum we need a backup."

We just gave them a cold shoulder, and now we demand their results; is that appropriate?

"..."

"There's nothing to it; Vanguard Education plans to go overseas, which does not align with Daxia's Benefit."

"If they hand over the Vanguard data, we will tacitly accept their overseas move."

"This is a solution good for everyone."

"We need to suppress the Yang Family; they will naturally look for other ways out."

"One billion companions also need them."

"If the Yang Family does cause problems in the future, at least we can ensure the overall strength of our companions so that others don't exploit the weakness."

"Since that's the case, let's do it that way."

"But Chen, the painter, needs to be dealt with."

"Don't let others think we truly turn a blind eye."

The meeting ended, and the matter was settled.

Both sides tacitly refrained from further communication about this matter.

Overall, Yang Qing was still satisfied.

Yang Qingfeng has not yet grasped the twists and turns within.

He finds this result a bit incomprehensible.

So he went to ask Yang Qing.

Yang Qing sighed.

"I am old, and already very old."

"And the Yang Family has now passed through three generations."

"In the future, the fourth, fifth, sixth generations—what they will be like, no one can say."

"I am here, it's still okay to say, when you reach my current time, can you grasp the Yang Family's future?"

Actually, it's fine that you all listened to me; if you hadn't listened, what could I have done?

Are we really taking the Yang Family's risk to forcefully intervene?

The Yang Family's future is a time bomb; they don't want the Yang Family to explode on this land, so they must gradually dilute the Yang Family's influence.

We also need to be sensible and treat this place as the final fallback to manage.

Gradually withdraw.

And soon the overseas Big Building people will outnumber this place.

Our work focus also needs to shift over there.

Such a large population requires wholehearted management.

Otherwise problems arise easily.

This is historical inevitability.

If we don't do it this way, many contradictions and unwarranted calamities will appear.

You should know what to do now, right?

Besides cutting‑edge collaborations like headline projects, even matters concerning people's livelihood should be gradually phased out.

Fortunately, for these industries we mostly operate under a collective joint‑stock system, so we won't get tangled up and suffer huge losses.

All we need is to further reduce our dominance.

Yang Qingfeng finally understood.

There were actually so many considerations inside.

The cabinet's slight emotions have now vanished.

Everyone has their own difficulties; even if some dislike the Yang Family, it hasn't reached the point of affecting the whole.

The main issue is still the Yang Family's own positioning problem.

What he does doesn't resemble a merchant; it's more like a state cloaked in a merchant's guise.

They are doing things they shouldn't be doing.

"I understand, should the family office also shift to Gangdao and Yizhou?"

Yang Qing nodded.

Then, with a hint of reluctance, he looked at everything here.

He seems destined to drift his whole life.

"We'll stay a few more years, then leave."

"Take it slowly, little by little."

"From now on, just shift the focus toward Capital Gate."

"Regarding the matter, tell Yang Fan and Yang Qihang; it's enough to have struggled to this point, don't continue."

After learning the course of events, Yang Fan also sighed.

"This is also fine; it saves us from ending up with everyone upset."

Yang Qihang seemed to have known this outcome long ago.

"Things happened faster than I imagined."

"Since ancient times, the heavens have no second sun. This is already the best ending."

"And don't you feel Capital Gate is more fun?"

"These years, although we repeatedly inspected the entire Capital Gate, over time people's hearts naturally become harder to guide."

"Before, they didn't cause trouble because of the Yang Family's unparalleled status."

"Now the Big Building is clearly more powerful, so our Yang Family's deterrence has naturally diminished."

"Now shifting attention to Capital Gate is precisely the time."
