Luckily, all the machines that Feng Yu imported into the Soviet Union were legal. After Feng Yu submitted all the machines, the Anti Smuggling Unit finally removed the seal on Tai Hua Trading, and his bank account was unfrozen.
But Feng Yu was not happy. Now, the leaders in the City had warned him that if he continued to import cheap Soviet Union farming machines, even if he followed the other party's request and increased the prices, there will be other departments that will come to close down Tai Hua Trading the next day.
But the profits from these imported machines were almost 30%, and there were good sales channels. Feng Yu could not bear to give up on these machines.
Feng Yu sighed. He was still not powerful enough. If he had 1 billion RMB now, not to mention a Deputy Mayor, even someone with a higher rank would not dare to do this to him.
The reason why Song Xiaofeng dared to look for trouble with Tai Hua Trading was because Tai Hua Trading was not a big company. If Tai Hua Trading was Bing City's leading company, and Feng Yu's assets were a few times more than Song Laosi, Song Xiaofeng would not dare to look for trouble with Feng Yu.
When money reaches a certain amount, it can also be converted into power.
Zhang Ruiqiang had made it very clear that if Feng Yu still wants to import farming machines, then he must go to Bing City's Machinery Factory.
The next day, Feng Yu applied for a day's leave and went to Bing City's Machinery Factory to visit Li Mingde.
"You are from Tai Hua Trading? Don't think that you can rest easy with the help of Foreign Trade Office's Deputy Director Zhang. In Bing City, the City still has the final say! " Li Mingde was happily drinking his tea. He had already sent his men to warn all the farmers in the province that the Soviet Union's supplies were gone. If anyone dares to import from Tai Hua Trading in the future, then don't blame him for shutting down the company!
Those dealers also knew that Tai Hua Trading was closed down. But when they called Li Mingde again, Tai Hua Trading said that they will not be selling the Soviet Union's farming machines for the time being.
"Director Li, do you think that we are here to apologize?" Feng Yu sat on the sofa and crossed his legs.
When you meet an idiot, you must not back down. To the idiot, if you back down, it means that you are afraid of him, and he will be more arrogant!
Li Mingde's face changed. What's the meaning of this? Weren't you here to apologize? Are you here to show off? Humph, the Machinery Factory has the support of the City Government. What can a Foreign Trade Office do?
"Since that's the case, are the two of you here to cause trouble? I want to see what kind of waves your small Tai Hua Trading can create! "
Li Shiqiang looked at Feng Yu anxiously. When he came over, Feng Yu did not say that he was looking for trouble with him. Why did he quarrel with him so quickly? Could it be that he really does not want to import agricultural machinery from the Soviet Union?
Even if he didn't plan to do it, offending Li Mingde wasn't a wise move. Li Mingde was also a leader and had a good relationship with the City Government. He had many ways to make things difficult for Tai Hua Trading.
Feng Yu suddenly smiled: "Director Li, you misunderstood me. I'm not here to apologize, nor am I here to find fault. I am here to discuss with Director Li if your Machinery Factory wants to buy the advanced machinery from the Soviet Union. "
Li Shiqiang was stunned. How did they end up talking about this? Li Mingde sat up straight. The Soviet Union does not want to sell their advanced machinery to Hua Xia. Could it be that Feng Yu can get his hands on them?
"What do you mean?"
"If I can get my hands on the advanced machinery from the Soviet Union, including the production technologies for agricultural machinery, how much is the Machinery Factory willing to spend?"
The Soviet Union's economy had started to decline. Originally, the Soviet Union relied on the export of gold, oil and firearms to maintain their economic growth. But now, there were a lot of smuggling in these exports. The government, military officials and their families were involved in this smuggling. This was to pass down their wealth to their descendants.
Just like Kirilenko and his group of people. They were the typical second generation of the Soviet Union's military. The transportation route they got was originally owned by the military. Everything they sold in the Soviet Union was not taxed. It was all done under the military's name.
From 1985 onwards, the Soviet Union's agriculture, especially food production, started to decline. This also led to the Soviet Union's agricultural machinery sales dropping year after year.
In the past, the Soviet Union could still export to Europe. But now, the European market was taken over by Germany and France. Germany had more than half of the European market.
If the Soviet Union still wants to export their agricultural machinery to Europe, they could only lower their prices. Lowering their prices would mean losses and tarnish their image as a superpower. What to do? Endure!
From next year onwards, more factories in the Soviet Union will stop production. In 1990, the balance will tilt and might even collapse. That will be the start of the Soviet Union's disintegration.
A few days ago, when Feng Yu was ordering the farming machines, he had tried to find out Kirilenko's intentions. Importing agricultural machinery will only benefit Feng Yu. But importing advanced technologies and lathe production lines will benefit the country!
Feng Yu was not a noble person. But if there was an opportunity to make money for himself and at the same time, help the country's economy develop faster, why not? Furthermore, Feng Yu can also build a good relationship with the City Government. This will be beneficial to his company's future development.
Li Shiqiang only remembered that Feng Yu had a long talk with Li Mingde. Both of them were at loggerheads at the start, but the tension between them disappeared. After that, Li Mingde even sent Feng Yu out personally. Before leaving, he even shook Feng Yu's hand passionately.
Back at the company, all the employees were playing poker. When they saw Feng Yu walking in, they quickly put away their cards.
"It's alright. The company is on holiday these two days. All of you can go home and rest for a few days. After the National Day, come back to work. Brother Li, give each of them a 500 RMB bonus. Take out another 2,000 RMB and distribute it to them according to the sales from the distributors. "
Feng Yu was in a good mood, and he was generous for once. He doubled the bonus he had planned to give. He wanted these people to work for him wholeheartedly. It was not easy for him to train these people, and he cannot let them go.
Everyone cheered loudly. Yesterday morning, the company was shut down, and all of them were called back. They thought something big was going to happen. Who knew that the company was shut down last night, and General Manager Feng seems to be fine. Today, Feng Yu announced that he will be giving out a lot of bonuses. They calculated that each of them will get more than 900 RMB. This was equivalent to a year's salary of a worker in the Motor Factory!
Li Shiqiang went to distribute the bonuses to those fellows, and Feng Yu translated the notes on a few pieces of paper into Russian and copied them onto another piece of paper.
Feng Yu took this piece of paper to the nearest post office to make an international call and fax to Kirilenko.
"Feng, do you really want the machines and technologies? It is not easy to get them. Even if you can get them, the price will not be low. " Kirilenko had asked around these few days. Although the few factories that produce the farming machines were in a semi-shutdown state, the production lines were not for sale.
"Brother Ki, my good friend, you will have a way. We can talk about the money. I promise that I will not let you suffer any losses! "
"Then … … OK. I will try. I will get back to you within a week."
