The school returned to its peaceful state, and Feng Yu had the time to take care of the company.
The development of the humidifier was in its final stage. The engineers from the Aviation Factory guaranteed that there were only a few more tests, and there would be no problems. They guaranteed that the humidifier would be delivered to the Motor Factory within a week.
Feng Yu was satisfied with this. The earlier the humidifier was developed, the earlier he could capture the market share. Seems like he needs to invite Fu Guangzheng over to discuss the export cooperation.
The Machinery Company also had good news. Their first batch of new tractors were sold out, and there were a lot of orders. The performance was better than Dong Fang Hong, but the price was cheaper. Even an idiot would know which tractor to buy.
The orders for plowing machines, seeding machines, etc. were coming in like snowflakes. The market share was increasing rapidly, and this caused the Machinery Factory in Lin Province to be in a semi-shutdown state. This was because no one was buying their products.
Based on this development speed, the Machinery Company's sales would exceed 300 million RMB this year, and the profits would be at least 60 million RMB. This was something they did not even dare to think about in the past. Even if the Machinery Company was not entirely owned by the City, but the dividends from the City's shares were still more than last year's profits. There was also a large amount of taxes.
Zhang Ruiqiang had used the Machinery Factory as a pilot project. He had brought in the Soviet Union's advanced machinery and technologies, and also Hong Kong's funds. This was considered a huge success. This also increased Zhang Ruiqiang's status in the City Government. Next, he would be able to reform other state-owned enterprises, and there would be lesser obstacles.
More than 300 million RMB in sales and tens of millions of profits, but Feng Yu was not satisfied. The Machinery Factory only cared about the benefits in front of them. They did not think about researching and developing new technologies to ensure that they were in the lead. If this continued, the Machinery Factory would return to its original state in less than 5 years.
Of course, Feng Yu would not let this happen. In less than 5 years, he wanted the controlling stake of the Machinery Company. By then, he would be in charge of the Machinery Company.
This opportunity was not far away. This year, the Feng Family's shares in the Machinery Company would increase by more than double!
The person who gave Feng Yu this confidence was Kirilenko, who was in Moscow.
Kirilenko had called yesterday and told him that he had managed to contact the high-temperature steel furnace that Feng Yu wanted.
This news made Feng Yu excited! High-temperature steel furnace was a furnace used to smelt steel. But it could be used to smelt special steel. It was suitable for making molds.
There were also such furnaces in China, but the temperature was not high enough.
There were at least 3 factories in China that needed of high-temperature steel furnaces. One factory was the Motor Factory. Kirilenko quoted 3 million Rubles as the price for this machine was 3 million Rubles.
Kirilenko. Kirilenko. Kirilenko asked Kirilenko. Kirilenko to Kirilenko. Kirilenko.
Kirilenko. of of of of Feng Yu to Kirilenko. Motor factory Kirilenko. to to to and to of of Motor factory. to Kirilenko.

He. to be. to of.. Kirilenko. Factory's.. "Kirilen. to to to to. of of of of to. of of of of. to to to to to of the Factory... . "Feng Yu was surprised. Feng Yu wanted the Motor Factory to pay the taxes. It was not a lot, only 300,000 Rubles.
But Kirilenko did not dare to sell it. Feng Yu could not help but sigh. These companies were too powerful. It was good to have a military background. Even if they were converted from military to civilian, they could still be exempted from taxes!
Actually, what Feng Yu wanted the most was a type of furnace called Ultra High Power Electric Furnace. This furnace had the most advanced technology and cost more than 40 million Rubles. But because it was too expensive, Kirilenko did not dare to sell it.
Kirilenko and the factory director could get a few million Rubles worth of equipment. But it was too difficult to get a few tens of million Rubles worth of equipment. Especially this furnace could be used to produce military products. It was too risky for him to sell it secretly. Kirilenko said to wait for a while.
Actually, Feng Yu wanted to tell Kirilenko that even if the price was higher, as long as Kirilenko was willing to sell it and give him some technologies, he would buy it.
There was no technology in China that could produce this type of Ultra High Power Electric Furnace. It could be said that whichever factory had this furnace, that factory would be one of the most advanced factories in China.
They had spent tens of millions of Rubles. Even if they were not familiar with the technology, they had to waste the materials.
Feng Yu told Kirilenko that even if they did not have the equipment, he still wanted the technology. He did not want the military technology. He only wanted the civilian technology. As long as it was the most advanced technology in China, Feng Yu would give Kirilenko a satisfactory price.
In this era, China's industrial technology was too lousy. It could not be compared to Europe and the US. It could not even be compared to their neighbors. Most of the machinery in China were imported from Korea and Japan.
If Feng Yu could buy the technologies, he would keep the ones that he could use for himself and sell the ones that he could not use. This way, he could make profits and also improve the country's industrial standards. It was killing two birds with one stone.
More importantly, it could increase Feng Yu's standing in the eyes of the leaders. If Feng Yu could use this opportunity to get to know a few leaders, it would be even better. It would not be a loss to know more people, right?
The Motor Factory paid 10% of the deposit. After the contract was signed, Feng Yu informed Kirilenko to get ready to deliver the goods. He also asked Kirilenko to send at least 3 experts. The salaries will be the same as the previous time. Of course, if there were more experts, Feng Yu would take all of them!
Talents were priceless. If Feng Yu could get more than 10 experts from the Soviet Union, then his status would be different. With these experts, he could become a guest of the Provincial Leaders.
Feng Yu did not expect Kirilenko to tell him 3 experts? This time, he promised to send at least 10 experts to Feng Yu! Those 3 experts were living well in Hua Xia. The Machinery Company provided them with a single expert's hostel. All their basic necessities were taken care of, and they were paid a lot every month. It was more than what they were earning in the Soviet Union.
Kirilenko had contacted more than 10 experts, but most of them were waiting to see what would happen. With these 3 experts as an example, the rest of them could not hold back.
They could continue to do what they were good at and still earn money to support their families. This was much better than working hard in the Soviet Union with half of their salaries.
But all these experts had one request. Once the Soviet Union needs them, they must return immediately. Their salaries will be paid until the day they leave.
This made Feng Yu very unhappy. They had only completed half of their work, and they can leave just like that. Why were they given good food and drinks?
Feng Yu requested to continue working in Hua Xia for 1 month after receiving the notice to return. If not, he would have to pay 3 months' salary as compensation. The contract was signed in black and white.
Kirilenko told Feng Yu's request to those experts. The number of experts who agreed to come to Hua Xia was reduced to 5. The rest of them continued to wait and see.
Feng Yu told Kirilenko to contact those experts who were too poor to even feed themselves. Feng Yu does not believe that they could not be swayed with money!
One week later, the first ultrasonic humidifier was developed!
