In order to help his father build the factory, Feng Yu applied for a week's leave. His reason was that his Second Uncle was injured and he needed to take care of him for a few days. Of course, there was no such relative in his family.
"Xiao Yu, how much will it cost if we use machinery to dig the foundation? We can use manpower. It will be cheaper by more than half. Furthermore, why do we need to dig so deep for the foundation? One meter should be enough. "Feng Xingtai's heart ached. Why did this prodigal son not know how to spend his money?
"Dad, this is only a small amount. Furthermore, the foundation is the most important part of building a house. We must not skimp on it. "
"But we don't need to build such a big fence. The brickworks in the district are now used exclusively for our house."
Feng Xingtai felt that Feng Yu wanted to build a fence around this big piece of land was too wasteful. Even if he wanted to build a courtyard, he could just use some branches to surround it. Why was there a need to build a brick wall and it must be 2 meters high?
"Dad, our machinery is so expensive. Aren't you afraid that someone will come and cause trouble? Even if it is not intentional, think about the children in the district. They will sneak in to play and get hurt by the machinery. Are you going to bear to see that happen? We still need to build two barbed wire fences on top of the fence. We need to keep at least 10 large dogs in the courtyard. Mongrels are not enough to scare people. "
Feng Yu started to talk about his plans. But when he turned around, he realized that Feng Xingtai had already left. Depressing. This was depressing. Was there a generation gap in this era?
To ensure the quality of the construction, the leader of the construction team, Feng Yu, was hired from a provincial construction company. At first, other people were not willing to come. It was a small farm and they need an engineer to build a bungalow. Wasn't it insulting?
But when Feng Yu offered him a high salary of 50 RMB a day, he rushed over. He was an engineer and his monthly salary was only slightly more than 100 RMB. 500 RMB for 10 days. He did not even dare to think about it in the past!
All the masons from the district, the County, and the branch office had been hired. There were more than 100 masons and a few machines. Feng Yu wanted speed.
In another half a month, this place will freeze, and it will no longer be suitable for construction. Now he can't buy building additives such as strengthening agents and water reducers. He needs to build the factory as soon as possible.
The most insane thing was that Feng Yu wanted the walls of the factory to be fifty centimeters thick. The engineer said that 37 centimeters was enough, but Feng Yu didn't think it was sturdy enough. What's there to be afraid of? We have bricks, we have cement, and we have workers. Just build it thicker. What I want is sturdiness!
If it weren't for the lack of hollow blocks, Feng Yu would have added some steel bars.
The factory was divided into four areas: the oil extraction room, the sugar refining room, the feed processing room, and the raw materials and finished products storage room. Each area occupied more than one hectare, which would be considered a large factory in the future.
Feng Yu had plans to expand the factory in the future. After the first batch of machinery arrived, there will be a lot of empty space. But in the future, the space will be filled up slowly. Feng Yu wants to turn this factory into a food processing base!
"Young General Manager Feng, the cost of building this factory is not low, right?"
"It's not too expensive. It should be around 1 million RMB." Feng Yu felt that it was very cheap. In less than 10 years, the highway to Bing City will pass through the district, and it will be less than 100 meters in front of this factory. With this factory, he could earn at least tens of millions in 10 years!
Although the investment was more than expected, Feng Yu did not feel that it was a loss. Even if the factory did not make any money, it was fine. Furthermore, Feng Yu was confident that he could make money, and a lot of it.
The engineer was speechless. This kid was too arrogant. Being from a rich family was different. He said 1 million RMB as if it was only 100 RMB. In the district, 1 million RMB could be used to build 2 buildings!
Feng Yu had already contacted Kirilenko. When he was developing the production lines for the agriculture machinery, he wanted a production line for oil extraction, sugar production and animal feed pellets. He wanted the latest and best equipment, and the prices must be discounted.
This production line could be found in almost every big city in the Soviet Union. But the latest and best equipment would not be cheap. After some discussion, Kirilenko and Kirilenko decided to choose the oil extraction and sugar production lines produced in 1985, and the animal feed production line produced in 1983.
These production lines were the best in Hua Xia. As for the prices, Kirilenko and Feng Yu agreed on a 30% discount. This was a private transaction between Kirilenko and Feng Yu.
This was a technology that was more advanced than China by at least 10 years. Feng Yu bought the entire production line for only half of the price in China. This was too cheap. Of course, Kirilenko had used the excuse of "scrap metal" to forcefully buy these production lines from those factories. At this time, the corruption in the Soviet Union's factories was getting worse. Some factory directors sold these useless production lines to enrich their own pockets.
These production lines were easy to set up, but the production lines for the agriculture machinery were more troublesome. Who asked Feng Yu to not only want the production lines, but also the technologies?
The technologies were not just information. They also needed guidance. After World War II, the Soviet Union had gotten a large number of industrial talents from Germany. This was why they were able to develop rapidly. The Soviet Union also knew that these talents should not be allowed to leave the country.
The Soviet Union still had some cooperation with some Eastern European countries. But after they fell out with Hua Xia, the Soviet Union's engineers did not like to work in Hua Xia. This was mainly because Hua Xia had been tarnished by the government.
Kirilenko had managed to contact the Machinery Factory, but none of the engineers were willing to come. How could the assembly and debugging of the production lines be done without professionals? Without professionals to guide them, it would be hard for the Machinery Factory to absorb the technologies.
But Kirilenko promised that he would solve this problem quickly. He promised that there would be experts willing to go. Feng Yu thought for a while and said that he could provide a high-paying job. He wanted experts in machinery.
At this time, the Soviet Union's economy was going downhill. The average income of the Soviet Union had not increased since 1980. This year, it had started to drop.
A senior engineer's monthly salary was between 500 to 800 Rubles. Feng Yu offered each of them 1,000 Rubles a month to work for Hua Xia.
Engineers also need to support their families. It was the same in the Soviet Union. There were many families where only the men worked, and the women stayed at home to take care of the children and elderly. Feng Yu did not believe that no one would be willing to work for him if he offered such a high salary.
Since Feng Yu was willing to pay, it would be easier. Kirilenko told him that he might not be able to find too many engineers, but it should not be a problem to find 3 to 5 engineers!
… …
In less than a week, the roof of the factory was completed. A bunch of firecrackers were hung up and started to crackle. Everyone was beaming with joy. Only Feng Xingtai's smile was a little stiff.
Yesterday, when Feng Yu told him about the cost of setting up the factory, his heart almost jumped out of his chest. Didn't Feng Yu say that it would not cost a lot? Why was it so expensive? This did not include the machinery and equipment. The investment would be at least 2 million RMB?
How long will it take for him to earn back the money he spent on oil and sugar? This prodigal kid. I must teach him a lesson later. If not, he will not learn his lesson!
