Feng Yu was not satisfied with the small market in China. Which business does not aim to break even? There was a big market nearby that was waiting to be developed.
"Hello? Brother Ki, do you want to buy a car? "
Kirilenko answered Feng Yu's call and was puzzled. Kirilenko had a few cars. Sports cars, off-road vehicles, business sedans, and even a luxury limousine. Why does he need to buy a car?
Feng Yu knew all these. Why did he ask Kirilenko? Could it be that Feng Yu wants to recommend a custom-made luxury car to him? Kirilenko was interested.
"Feng, what car? What brand? "
"Songjiang Motors."
Songjiang Motors? Cars?
Kirilenko knocked on his head. He thought for a while but could not think of any big company that owns Songjiang Motors cars. Also, the two words' Songjiang 'sounded like Chinese. Could the car Feng Yu recommended be Hua Xia's car?
Kirilenko remembered that Feng Yu had bought a few Volga production lines from him. Could this car be manufactured by Feng Yu's own factory?
"Feng, this car is manufactured by your company?"
"That's right. The quality is guaranteed to be better than your Volga." Feng Yu smiled and replied.
"Feng, to be honest, although the Volga is manufactured by our country, the quality of the cars is not good. If not, we will not import a large number of cars from the UK."
Kirilenko did not say anything. Other than imported cars from the UK, there were many Japanese smuggled cars in Russia and the former Soviet Union. That was Japan, the country that was at loggerheads with Kirilenko!
Kirilenko would rather buy their enemy's cars than their own country's cars. This showed how bad their cars were!
The production lines Feng Yu had bought back were not some advanced production lines. They were second-hand production lines from the former Soviet Union. These production lines were at least 20 years behind Japan and the US. Moreover, Feng Yu had bought the relevant technology, which proved that Feng Yu did not have any good technology. This technology was also not the latest from Volga. What kind of good car could Feng Yu produce?
He felt that when Feng Yu said that the quality was better than the Volga, it was better than the Volga Hua Xia had bought a few years ago. Those cars were almost obsolete in Russia, and there were many cars that were better than the Volga. He was not interested.
"Brother Ki, I know that the quality of Volga's cars is not good. But our Songjiang Motors cars are comparable to Germany's Audi and the US's Cherokee." Feng Yu mentioned two famous automobile brands to attract Kirilenko's attention.
"Feng, are you sure you did not drink?"
Feng Yu: "…" Do you think everyone is like you, waking up early in the morning and drinking a whole glass of vodka? I don't like drinking at all!
"Brother Ki, I am very conscious. I think you better come to Hua Xia's factory in Bing City when you are free. I will let you see our products. I promise you will be surprised, and you will make a lot of money! "
Russia is a huge automobile market, and with Kirilenko's capabilities, he might not only be able to sell cars to Russia. He might even be able to do something to the former Soviet Union's allies.
Many of those allied countries might be poor, but it does not mean the people in those countries are poor. The former Soviet Union was so corrupt, and even after the dissolution of the former Soviet Union, there should still be many tycoons. Their purchasing power should not be underestimated.
For many years to come, Russia's automobiles will be mainly imported. Although Russia's industries were recovering fast, the automobile industry, especially the sedans, did not improve until Feng Yu's rebirth and Putin's second term in office.
Let's put it this way. Even the Russian government does not purchase Volga cars. This shows how lousy these cars are! There were rumors that Russia's automobile technologies had not improved for many years. From the top of the world, Russia had fallen to the bottom of the world. Someone even said that Russia's automobile industry could be compared to Fattie's country! This was the biggest "compliment"!
Feng Yu had thought about it. China had joint venture cars as competitors, and there were also imported cars from Japan, Europe, and the US. It was hard for Songjiang Motors to enter the market quickly.
But Russia was different. Most of their cars were imported, and most of them were British cars. Germany? The US and Japan? Haha … … The former Soviet Union and now Russia had a worse relationship with these countries than Hua Xia and Japan!
Russia also had a population of over 100 million, and Russia's automobile industry was much more popular than Hua Xia. Regardless of family, government, or business, there was a huge market for automobiles.
Feng Yu's last sentence had touched Kirilenko's heart.
Can make a lot of money?
Kirilenko had never doubted Feng Yu's ability to make money. Since Feng Yu said that he could make a lot of money, he believed that he could make a lot of money from this business deal with Feng Yu.
Kirilenko was one of the top businessmen in Russia now. Kirilenko could get a large number of products from Hua Xia every month, and no one could replace him.
There were many people who were richer than him. Although Kirilenko had raided many mines during the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it was because of Feng Yu's suggestion to mine at break-even. Kirilenko could not make any profits from the mines.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Kirilenko's business of selling industrial equipment and technologies were gone. Now, his only profitable business was to import Hua Xia's products and sell them to Russia's major cities.
The difference between the wealth he possessed and the wealth he could control was too great, which made him feel very unbalanced. He always felt that he was already a big mine owner, but why was his life not as good as it was before?
Kirilenko hated and loved the fact that Ruble had been depreciating. Even when Yeltsin had introduced some policies, it was still ineffective.
Kirilenko should be happy that Rubles had depreciated, and the value of the money he had to repay in the future will be lower. Kirilenko should be happy about this, but he was still selling Hua Xia's products in Rubles. The depreciation of Rubles meant that he had lost a large portion of his profits.
That was why Kirilenko was very excited when he heard about making money.
"Feng, if you had said this earlier, I would have gone over earlier. I will be free these few days. I will give you a call before I board the plane. Is there a problem? "
"No problem. I will take good care of you when you arrive here. Hua Xia's delicacies and alcohol will be enough for you. But I cannot arrange for pretty girls for you. "
Feng Yu does not want to let Kirilenko ruin Hua Xia's girl!
"Hahaha … Oh, do you want me to bring Elena over? The last time I met her, she was still asking me about you." Kirilenko joked.
When Kirilenko mentioned Elena, Feng Yu could only think of her beautiful body. He shook his head: "Never mind. I will go to Moscow to visit her when I am free."
"That's right. If you really want me to bring her over, then you will disappoint me. How can a man let a woman lead him by the nose? What did Hua Xia say? A gentle hometown is a hero's grave. "
Damn, a gentle hometown is a hero's grave! How come Kirilenko did not know that he was a Casanova?!
"Alright, Brother Ki. I will wait for you at Hua Xia. I promise you will not be disappointed!"
