Kirilenko received a call from Feng Yu. Feng Yu wants to order a large number of motorcycle production lines and automobile production lines, including sedans and trucks. Kirilenko was stunned.
What was Feng Yu trying to do? Was he going to empty the Soviet Union's factories? Although the machines were not worth much now, it was not free. Hua Xia could only sell a few cars a year, and Kirilenko wanted to buy so many production lines?
But Feng Yu wanted to use Hua Xia's products in exchange. This was a condition that Kirilenko could not reject. Now, the mining company followed Feng Yu's instructions to reduce their mining volume. After the Soviet Union disintegrates, they will resume their normal mining volume. This was why the mining company could not make ends meet.
If it were not for Feng Yu's investments, Kirilenko would not be able to survive. Kirilenko had invested all his money into the mining company. This caused his quality of life to deteriorate.
Feng Yu was giving him a chance to make money by ordering production lines. How could he miss this opportunity?
Kirilenko found a new target. He started to contact the motorcycle and automobile factories. He started to dismantle all the production lines. Kirilenko had learned his lesson. He did not want to operate in Russia. He chose to operate in other allied countries.
The disintegration of the Soviet Union was inevitable. His father, Yeltsin, had also confirmed this from Yeltsin. It was just as Feng Yu had predicted. The disintegration would happen this year.
Feng Yu had told him that the disintegration of the Soviet Union would happen in October or December. Although Kirilenko's father did not confirm this, Kirilenko believed it.
Since the Soviet Union was disintegrating, then his father must be following Yeltsin closely. If he continued to operate in Russia, it would not be good for his father. It was better for him to go to other allied countries. Even if the prices were slightly higher, it would not be a problem.
Kirilenko remembered that when Feng Yu asked him for a loan, he had asked him to go to other allied countries and give up Moscow, which was Kirilenko's home base. It seemed that Feng Yu was very kind to him.
Since that's the case, Kirilenko decided to earn less from this equipment as a form of repayment to Feng Yu.
After ordering the equipment, Kirilenko guaranteed that he would be able to get it. Feng Yu starts to contact Bing City Government.
…
"Mayor Zhang, my plan can affect the development of our country for many years to come. It can stop us from being suppressed by Japan, Europe, and other industrial countries. It can be said to be beneficial to the country and the people. Why don't you agree?"
"You're the typical example of biting off more than you can chew! Initially, I wasn't too optimistic about your car project. Now, you want to open five automobile branch factories in a row. Isn't this crazy? "
"These branch factories do not need the City to invest a single cent. All the investments are from me. The City does not need to worry about the negotiations with the local government, the purchase of land, equipment, the construction of the factories, and the training of the workers. What are you worried about?"
"Then where did you get so much money?" Zhang Ruiqiang asked.
"I earned it myself. Every sum of money can stand up to investigation. Do I need to use crooked methods?" Feng Yu felt that Zhang Ruiqiang's question was ridiculous.
"Well said. You earned it yourself. Every penny you earn is inseparable from the hard work of the workers. Have you done any market research? It would be a waste if such a big project couldn't be sold! It will be a waste of the money you earned and the hard work of your workers! When the factories go bankrupt, there will be chaos! "Zhang Ruiqiang banged the table and shouted.
Feng Yu looked at Zhang Ruiqiang and blinked: "You think that the automobile production will fail? The factories will go bankrupt? It will drag down the local economy? It will be a serious waste? "
"Am I wrong? How many cars are produced in China every year? Do you know how many cars there are in China? How many cars are there for civilian use? "
Feng Yu replied seriously: "There are about 3.3 million cars in China. There are 2.1 million trucks and 1.2 million sedans. I had done market research on these."
He did not blindly start these projects. He had also done a detailed investigation. He also knew some data that could explain the situation, the kind that was not reported in the newspapers.
"There are only 1.2 million sedans in total, and you want to start a car factory that can produce 200,000 units a year? You are biting off more than you can chew." Zhang Ruiqiang heard what Feng Yu said and got even angrier. You had done your research and you still want to do this? Are you stupid?
Feng Yu laughed and continued: "These are the cars with license plates. More than 10% of the cars do not have license plates. For example, in Longjiang province, there are many smuggled Lada cars. Another important point is that from 1984 to 1987, our country imported a total of 640,000 cars, which shows that the demand for cars is in a blowout state. After that, SAIC Motor, First Automobile, Guangzhou Automobile, etc. started joint ventures in order to be self-sufficient. After the joint ventures, we will not be the ones making the most money. It will be those foreign investors who invested their technologies. I want to be Hua Xia's own brand to resist the exploitation of foreign investors! "
Although the number of sedans in Hua Xia is not a lot now, most of these cars had been added in recent years, and the demand will increase. In Feng Yu's previous life, German and Japanese joint ventures entered the Hua Xia market during this period. But the biggest failure of these joint ventures was using other people's brands. This caused Hua Xia to be unable to set up its own brand. This will also allow a large number of German and Japanese cars to be imported into Hua Xia in the future, and Hua Xia will dominate the Hua Xia market.
"You should also know that we had set up many joint ventures. Those joint ventures are backed by the local government and the higher-ups are supporting them. How can you compete with them? What makes you think you can survive in the cracks and not be eliminated? "
Zhang Ruiqiang was amused by Feng Yu's stubbornness. If it were someone else, he would not even bother to say anything. But Feng Yu was someone he admired, and he does not want to see Feng Yu fail.
"German and Japanese technologies are good, but don't forget, the Soviet Union is also a strong industrial country. Not only I can get cheap machinery from the Soviet Union, but I can also hire some Soviet Union engineers to do R&D. The R&D headquarters will be set up in Bing City. Actually, our engineers are not bad. Many of them just do not have the funds to do R&D. I can provide them with funds to do R&D. Also, this way, we do not need to go down the path of joint ventures and work for others to promote their brands. Furthermore, in the 7th Five Year Plan, the automobile industry is one of the most important industries in the country. Is it a good idea to work with foreign investors? "
"When did you hear that the country's most important industries are allowed to be privately owned?" Zhang Ruiqiang glanced at Feng Yu.
Feng Yu spread out his hands and gave an innocent look: "But the Machinery Company is not completely a private enterprise. It is a joint venture between the public and private enterprises. It is also a collective enterprise."
Zhang Ruiqiang's eyes opened wide. This kid had taken advantage of this loophole again!
