The Rebirth of a Genius
Chapter 48 – Car Assembly

Kirilenko and his team returned to the Soviet Union soon after signing the contract. They had left their contact details for Tai Hua Trading. This way, Tai Hua Trading could contact them once the procurement of goods was completed, and Kirilenko could arrange transportation.

Kirilenko will also help Feng Yu to search for things he wants in the Soviet Union and will contact him to see if he is willing to accept the price they offer.

Feng Yu handed the procurement of goods to Li Shiqiang and his entire staff. They go back to the suppliers that have worked with them before. Same price as last time. If a supplier disagrees, they will look for a new supplier.

While Li Shiqiang and the other staff were busy with the procurement, Feng Yu went to the Motor Factory with Wu Zhigang.

“Manager Feng, is it about order progress? Rest assured . There will be no delay in your order. In fact, the second batch was also completed. "Said Director Li.

“Congratulations. I heard that the old factory director is going to retire and you are going to be promoted to take over his position. "Said Feng Yu. (Director Li is currently Deputy Director of Motor Factors. Second man at the factory)

"Ha ha ha . Undecided. “Although Director Li said so, he smiled nonstop. The director of the old factory has requested an early retirement due to his illness. Thus, Director Li was in the leading position for this position. He has proven his ability by turning the factory from a loss to a profit. Who else could compete with him for that position?

“I came here today for several reasons. First, to congratulate you. Second, is to check the progress of production and lastly, is to ask if the Motor Factory is interested in doing car assembly business? ”Say Feng Yu.

"Car assembly? I'm afraid not. ”Director Li shook his head regretfully. He wanted to do it but he couldn't. His factory had many skilled workers but their expertise was not in cars. The factory also could not afford the car assembly production line.

“It is uncomplicated and does not require large machines. It just install some tires and seats, and spray painting. I think your workers should be able to do it right? "Feng Yu smiled and said.

Even Feng Yu himself was able to put up tires and upholstery. How could this level 8 skilled worker from the Motor Factory not know?

“Tires and seats only? I don't understand your point. ”Director Li replied.

Feng Yu explained to Director Li. He told her that he would import several batches of "old iron", and then assemble it into a car, repair the exterior and then sell. The quantity is not much but he needs some workers and a place to do the assembly.

"This. . . Is this legal? ”Director Li asked worriedly.

“ The law does not say that this is illegal. I'll get permission to sell the car. You just tell me how much you charge me for each car. '' Feng Yu replied.

"This. . . I need to have a meeting with the board members first. Can I call you again tomorrow? "Director Li asked.

Feng Yu got up and said, “No problem. If you don't want to do so, I can go to the Bing Fei Factory. They also produce cars. ”

After Feng Yu left, Director Li immediately called all the workshop directors for a meeting to discuss whether they should take this job, and if so, how much they should pay.

When the workshop director heard that there was a new job, they all started competing for this job. They don't care if it's legal or illegal.

Even if it was illegal, the contract would be signed and Tai Hua Trading would still have to pay them. If Tai Hua Trading was unable to pay them, they could always foreclose on the car as their payment. Also, the Motor Factory is a state-owned company and they can easily push all responsibility to Tai Hua Trading. What can the city government do to them?

If the city government doesn't allow factories to do so, or punish them, then fine. The city government can pay workers' wages on its own.

This discussion did not even last a minute and it became a competition among workshops to get jobs. Installing tires and seats is much easier than installing a large generator. How could they not know how to do it?

Feng Yu had said that he would go to the Bing Fei factory if they did not want to take this job. Why should they give this opportunity to them? All this time, Bing Fei's factory was better than them!

Since there was a job now and money coming in, how could they refuse?

Just look at the Wind and Rain fan. The fans have sold well in the market and soon, the fans will be sold all over the country. No one had any complaints that these fans were inferior goods and the reputation of the factory had not been tarnished. This Feng Yu was still quite reliable when doing business.

In the afternoon, Feng Yu received a call from Director Li personally. Motorcycle manufacturers are willing to take the job but the number should not be too small. There should be at least 30 cars each time and their profit should not be less than 1,000 RMB per car.

Feng Yu agreed. Although the cost of Motor Factory is rather high, it is still acceptable. Once these cars are shipped back, assembled and refurbished, the profit can be several million RMB!

Feng Yu also told Director Li that the refurbished cars would be temporarily stored at the Motor Factory and he would pay them for the inventory costs. A maximum of one month and he will collect the car.

After two days, Kirilenko finally called but it was not good news.

Feng Yu did not know that during this era, the Soviet Union was the same as China before, where they had a closed policy and they were self-sufficient.

The most popular cars in the Soviet Union were the Poronaz, Lada, and Volga, as well as a small number of British and Japanese imported cars.

Feng Yu told Kirilenko that he did not want a Soviet car. That means there are only British imported cars and Japanese cars left. Japanese cars in the Soviet Union were mostly smuggled and most were right-handed riders. Therefore, Japanese cars still need to make many modifications. On the British car can meet the requirements of Feng Yu.

Feng Yu was somewhat disappointed. He can only import cars from one country. Why was the Soviet Union unable to import German cars, French cars, or other European cars?

It only then occurred to him that the Soviet Union's relations with Germany and France were not very good. Even if there are cars from these countries, the numbers are very low.

It only then occurred to him that the Soviet Union's relations with Germany and France were not very good. Even if there are cars from these countries, the numbers are very low.

Forget it, the British cars will work. But what brand is it? Feng Yu wanted to know if there was a brand he was familiar with from his previous life.

After Kirilenko told Feng Yu about the British Automotive brands, Feng Yu was very excited again.

Rolls-Royce, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Rover, Land Rover, Bentley and Lotus. Each brand is considered a luxury car brand in its previous life. Although some brands have been acquired by other companies, the value of the brand remains.

“I want cars from all these brands! As long as the car's chassis, engine, and other core components don't have any problems, others don't. I'll take whatever you get! '' Feng Yu said excitedly.

Feng Yu also wanted to change cars. This old pepper should be discarded and replaced with a Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin or Land Rover!

Kirilenko told Feng Yu about the price of the car. Kirilenko has contacted a businessman who specializes in used cars of British brands. The last time Feng Yu signed a contract with them, said something that made them feel humiliated.

So, Kirilenko and his business partners tried their best not to let Feng Yu humiliate them again. The businessman did not want to sell his car to them because the price they offered was too low. But this second generation of Soviet Army officers told him that these cars were for military use and that he had to sell them for cheap. If not ……

After all, the prices of those cars were the lowest. The usual price for these cars is around 100,000 to 200,000 rubles. Now, these cars are only less than 60,000 rubles. Kirilenko has a little over 30 cars now and a total price of over 1.5 million rubles.

Feng Yu immediately agreed. He could forget about those farm tool parts for all these cars. Feng Yu then asked Kirilenko to send these cars as soon as possible. He'll transfer the price difference.

Once these cars were refurbished, Feng Yu's assets would double!
