"Director Li, what do you think about the matter that I discussed with you last time?" Feng Yu crossed his legs and sat on the sofa. Beside him was the Motor Factory's Director Li Shiyou, who was frowning.
Feng Yu had mentioned to him that if there was ultrasonic vibration technology, it would be safer and more effective to use it as a humidifier.
But the Motor Factory did not have this ultrasonic vibration technology. Although the Motor Factory used to be a military factory, they specialized in electric motors. Their power generation, storage and wiring technologies were the best in China. But this ultrasonic vibration technology had nothing to do with power generation.
But Li Shiyou knew which factory had this technology. He had been trying to get it for a long time, but he did not succeed. Now, Li Shiyou was thinking about branding. If the electric fans were the Motor Factory's brand, then the profits would be higher.
Also, this humidifier. He did not expect such a small thing to have such high profits. This time, Li Shiyou had learned his lesson. So, he suggested to cooperate with the Motor Factory. He does not want the labor fees, but he wants a share of the profits. Feng Yu also suggested to the Motor Factory to develop an ultrasonic humidifier. He will pay for the R&D costs and share the profits.
Li Shiyou discussed with the leaders of the factory, and everyone felt that this was a good idea. Although the country was developing electricity, hydropower was still weak. The main source of electricity was still thermal power. The Motor Factory was best at hydropower, followed by thermal power and wind power. Solar power was just starting to show some direction. As for the other aspects, they were still in the theoretical stage.
Li Mingde had thought about it carefully. If the Motor Factory only relied on generators, the Motor Factory would not make any losses, but it would also not make a lot of money. Look at Tai Hua Trading. Their electric fans had made a few million RMB of profits. Now, they were working with the Machinery Factory. The Machinery Factory was doing very well this month. Even Li Mingde, who had been looking down on him, had started to show off!
Li Shiyou decided to take a gamble. Anyway, Feng Yu was paying for the R&D costs. If this was a success, then the Motor Factory would have another source of income. If it failed, then it was just to accumulate experience. But after trying for a while, they understood the ultrasonic theory. They also knew how to atomize water, but they could not make it into a humidifier. Based on the engineers' proposal, the humidifier would be the size of a small car. How were they going to sell it?
Li Shiyou wanted to go to Bing City's Aviation Factory to get this technology from them. Anyway, they were both Bing City's companies, and this was not the first time they had worked together in the military industry. But the Aviation Factory refused to give him the technology.
What does the Motor Factory want to do? Our Bing City's Aviation Factory can do it, and we will sell it to you after it is done!
So, Li Shiyou was at a loss. He was afraid that if Feng Yu knew about this, Feng Yu would turn around and work with the Aviation Factory, and the Motor Factory would not be involved.
At the end of the day, both parties were only in a cooperative relationship. In terms of cooperation, they were happy. However, there was no deeper relationship between them. When Tai Hua Trading was destroyed by Song Xiaofeng, if the Motor Factory stood up for him, Song Xiaofeng would not dare to be too arrogant. After all, the Motor Factory used to be a military factory. When they get angry, they would be more vicious than the police!
Because Feng Yu did not support Li Shiyou at that time, there was some animosity between both parties. Li Shiyou believed that once Feng Yu found a better partner, he would ditch the Motor Factory.
Feng Yu waited for a while, but Li Shiyou kept frowning and not saying a word. He knew that the situation had changed.
"Director Li, what's wrong? You don't want to continue working with me? That's fine. Actually, the Machinery Company can also produce this humidifier. "Feng Yu stood up and was about to leave.
The Machinery Company could indeed produce the humidifier, but the Machinery Company would never produce it! Li Mingde might not be the only person in charge of the Machinery Company, but it was almost the same.
Even if Feng Yu could persuade Li Mingde to produce this humidifier, he would still have to share the profits with the Machinery Company. Once the Machinery Company found out that the profits were high, the Machinery Company would get the bigger share, and Feng Yu would get the smaller share. The Machinery Company would not be like the Motor Factory, who only needed to pay some commission.
Li Mingde was more thick-skinned than Li Shiyou. Before Feng Yu controlled the Machinery Company, he would not plant too many fruit trees in the Machinery Company's fields.
Since the Motor Factory was not willing to work with him, Feng Yu had another option. That was the University. No matter if it was the University of Technology or the Shipbuilding University, they were all good at research. This ultrasonic technology was not too difficult, and the University's laboratory should be able to do it. But it would be difficult to get the patent. The University would definitely not give it to Feng Yu.
"Wait a minute, General Manager Feng. It's not that I don't want to work with you. But the ultrasonic atomization technology that we developed is still at the theoretical stage. If we want to convert it into a product, it will take at least a year."
Li Shiyou said. According to the engineers at the factory, it would take at least 3 years.
Feng Yu also understood that Li Shiyou was bragging when he said that the Motor Factory had ultrasonic technology. They only started researching after Feng Yu proposed this idea. They were all laymen!
"Director Li, we don't need to lie. I am afraid that the Motor Factory does not have any ultrasonic engineers. You all researched it yourself and realized that it is not feasible? Since you dared to agree to work with me, then you should know where the experts in this field are. Which factory is it? Or which university's professor? "
Li Shiyou looked at Feng Yu in shock. Feng Yu could even guess this? Feng Yu was not a kid in his teens. He was more than 10 years old.
"I know. The Aviation Factory has this technology and even has experts in this field. But they do not want to sell it to me. I had looked for Director Hou a few times, but I was rejected. "
"Experts from the Aviation Factory? Why don't you invite the Aviation Factory's Director Hou out? We can sit down and discuss this. We can work together. They will provide the technology, I will provide the funds, you all provide the production lines, and we will split the profits. "
Feng Yu was happy to have another partner. Furthermore, Feng Yu had wanted to get to know the Aviation Factory's Director Hou. His next thought was to work with the Aviation Factory. This would be more profitable.
"Three-way cooperation? Fine. I will contact Director Hou now. " Li Shiyou's eyes brighten up. Feng Yu had suggested this. This was great. He was afraid that Feng Yu would kick the Motor Factory out of the market.
Hou Haitao received a call from Li Shiyou. When he heard that it was about the ultrasonic technology again, Hou Haitao said the same thing. What do you all want to do? We will sell it to you when we are ready. Hou Haitao was more experienced than Li Shiyou. When he was the Aviation Factory's Director, Li Shiyou was still the Deputy Director of the Motor Factory. Even when Li Shiyou was the Director now, Hou Haitao did not give him any face.
But this time, Li Shiyou did not hang up immediately. Instead, he told Hou Haitao that he would bring a friend to visit him at the Aviation Factory to discuss a project.
After hanging up, Hou Haitao was still puzzled. How can I not know Li Shiyou's friend?
Feng Yu had made up his mind. No matter how much money he had to invest, he must own the patented technology and brand. This was the most important thing!
