Kirilenko and the rest returned to Feng Yu's office and left their contact details. After Tai Hua Trading was done with the procurement, they will give Kirilenko a call and he will arrange for the train transportation.
Kirilenko will also call Feng Yu after he found the goods that Feng Yu wanted. It was mainly to see if Feng Yu would accept their offer.
Feng Yu let Li Shiqiang and the rest handle the procurement. They were all customers from the last time they worked with Li Shiqiang. Feng Yu just need to use the same price to negotiate with them. If they can do it, then do it. If not, Feng Yu will look for someone else.
Feng Yu brought Wu Chih-gang to the Motor Factory again.
"General Manager Feng, are you here to check on the progress of the orders? Don't worry. I will not delay your work. The second batch of orders is almost completed. "
"Congratulations. I heard that the old factory director is retiring. Director Li is finally going to be promoted?"
"Hahaha, it is not decided yet." Although Director Li said so, there was always a smile on his face. He led the factory to a new path and turned the factory's losses into profits. The old director had to retire early because of illness. Who else could compete with him for the position of the director?
"The first is to congratulate you. The second is to check on the production progress. The third is to ask if the Motor Factory can do the automobile assembly business?"
"Automobile assembly? I'm afraid not. "Director Li shook his head. He really wanted to do it, but he could not do it. Their factory had a lot of talents for the motors. They were the best in China. But for automobiles, no one in their factory had done it before. They also could not afford to buy a production line. This business was delivered to their doorstep.
"It's not very troublesome. We don't need any big machinery. We just need to install the tires, seats, and paint the exterior. Our factory's workers should not have any problem with this, right?" Feng Yu smiled and asked.
Even Feng Yu could install the tires himself, let alone the Grade 8 workers who could assemble the motors.
"Just install the tires and seats? I don't really understand. "Director Li looked at Feng Yu blankly.
Feng Yu explained that he will import a few batches of "scrap metal" and then assemble them into cars. He will refurbish the exterior and sell them to the public. There were quite a few of them, and they needed some workers and space.
"Is this … legal?" Director Li asked worriedly.
"It's not illegal, is it? I will get the approval for the car sales. How much do you want for each car? Director Li, name a price. "
"This … I need to have a meeting to think about it. I'll give General Manager Feng an answer tomorrow. How about that?"
Feng Yu stood up: "No problem. If Director Li is troubled, I can go to the Aviation Factory. They are also manufacturing automobiles."
After Feng Yu left, Director Li immediately called a meeting for all the workshop directors and above. Could this job be done? If so, how much would it cost?
As soon as they heard that there was work to be done, these workshop directors rushed to do it. As for the things that they couldn't do, no one thought about it.
Even if they couldn't do it, they wouldn't lose out. Anyway, once the contract was signed, if Tai Hua Trading could not pay up, they will impound the cars. Push all the blame to Tai Hua Trading. Tai Hua Trading was a state-owned factory. What can the City do to them?
If the city did not allow them to do so, or if they were to be punished. Fine. The City will pay the workers' salaries.
This meeting lasted for less than a minute, and it became a competition among the workshops. It was only installing seats and tires. It was much easier than assembling a large generator. How can they not do it?
General Manager Feng had said that if the Motor Factory refused to do it, they will contact the Aviation Factory. Why should they let them off easy? Their lives were much better than the Motor Factory!
The Motor Factory was not poor. There was always money in their accounts. The government had given them funds for research. But those funds were earmarked and cannot be used. There was money in the accounts, but the workers were not paid. Some of the debts were not collected. How could the leaders of the factory not be stressed?
Now there was money in their accounts, and there was no reason for them to reject it.
Just look at the Wind and rain electric fans. They were selling well in the market. They heard that it was sold all over the country. No one had said that it was a low-quality product. The factory's reputation was not tarnished, and the workers were getting benefits. Manager Feng is very reliable when it comes to business.
In the afternoon, Feng Yu received a call from Director Li. They could definitely do the installation of seats and tires. But the quantity should not be less than 30 units, and the profits from each unit must not be less than 1,000 RMB.
Feng Yu immediately agreed. Although the charges were higher, he could still accept it. If these cars were transported back, installed and refurbished, his profits would be a few million RMB!
Feng Yu also told Director Li that the refurbished cars would be left at the Motor Factory. He would pay the rental fees and guarantee that all the cars would be taken away within a month.
After waiting for 2 days, Kirilenko finally called. But it was not good news.
Feng Yu did not know that in this era, the Soviet Union was the same as Hua Xia a few years ago. They were isolated and self-sufficient.
The Soviet Union's most popular cars were Polonaz, Lada and Volga. There were also a small number of British and Japanese cars.
But Feng Yu had made it clear that he did not want Soviet cars. That left only the British and Japanese cars. Most of the Japanese cars were smuggled, so the driver's seat was on the right side. Only the British cars met Feng Yu's requirements.
Feng Yu was disappointed. There was only one country to choose from? Don't you import German cars, French cars, and other European cars?
Feng Yu suddenly remembered that the Soviet Union's relationship with Germany and France was not good. Even if there were imports, the quantity was very little. If it was because of ethnic conflict, the smuggled Japanese cars were selling well. Feng Yu really did not know how to evaluate it.
Never mind. British cars will be British cars. What brands are there? Feng Yu wanted to know if there were any big brands that he had heard of in his previous life.
When Kirilenko said this, Feng Yu got excited again.
Rolls-Royce, Jaguar (Jaguar), Aston Martin, Rover, Land Rover, Bentley, Lotus. Which of these were not famous luxury car brands in his previous life? Although some of them were acquired by other companies, the brand value was still there.
He wanted all these brands! As long as there were no problems with the chassis, engine, and other core components, the rest did not matter!
Feng Yu also wanted to change cars. This broken Lada should be scrapped. He wanted to change to Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, or Land Rover!
Kirilenko told Feng Yu the price he had prepared. He had contacted a dealer who specialized in selling British used cars. Actually, it was Feng Yu who had angered those second generations when he signed the contract. They felt they had lost their face.
This time, they must settle the contract well and regain their face. That dealer did not want to sell to them at first as the price was too low. But those second generations told the dealer that they must sell the cars to the army and the price must be low. Otherwise … …
Anyway, they had lowered the price of the cars to the lowest. Most of the luxury cars were sold at 100,000 to 200,000 Rubles. Now, the average price of used cars was less than 60,000 Rubles. They had already received more than 30 cars, and the total price was more than 1.5 million Rubles.
Feng Yu immediately expressed that he does not need those farm tools. He wants these cars to be shipped over immediately. He will pay for the shortfall.
If these cars were refurbished, Feng Yu's assets would double!
